After the visiting period ended, the members of the Self-Defense Forces soon knew that they were going to change from a company to a battalion. To them, this was not only an expansion of the team, but also a promotion for most of the 120 people. Therefore, they all worked hard to perform during this period of time, training hard, and completing various missions.
In this tense atmosphere, Su Zhenze's secret military expansion plan began. He requested that each company be recruited by themselves and that they be given full authority to recruit. However, they had to strictly control each person's physical fitness, character, and most importantly, the information about this expansion could not be exposed.
Su Zhenze felt that it would be better to have 50 people in the exposed army. He wanted everyone to know that the Su family had such an armed force of 50 people to eliminate the bandits. This way, although others would be afraid of him, they would not be too afraid of him and cause unnecessary trouble. As for the Su family and everyone who knew his background, Su Zhenze had already informed them. He believed that they would not go against him.
Soon, dozens of villages surrounding the Su family's residence had set off a wave of labor. As long as one's body could pass those strange tests, they could go to the county town to work. The salary was one dollar per month, and they would be paid half of the salary on the spot.
However, Su Zhenze soon received complaints from the four company commanders. Although they had successfully recruited a lot of people in the beginning, they were soon boycotted by the landlords in these villages.
A lot of these landowners 'income all year round depended on others to do long-term work for them, but they only needed to pay them very little.
But now, these so-called city people came to recruit people, and the price was not low. Seeing that these middle-aged laborers had run away, what about tomorrow's crops?
Therefore, they were soon boycotted by these landlords. They were not allowed to enter the village at all. They even threatened not to let anyone enter, or they would be punished!
When Su Zhenze heard this, he was a little angry. He had originally wanted to carry out land reform in the entire county after taking over Guangfeng County. He would definitely focus on cracking down on this group of lawless landlord class!
He did not expect them to jump up so quickly. How much did he have to pay to recruit these farmers and landowners? It was really a small profit, not giving in at all! In any case, he would have to clean up this group of people sooner or later. If they wanted to die so badly, he would fulfill their wishes!
Su Zhenze said immediately when he thought of this.
"Wang Yongxiang, Li Ruilong, Zhang Dahai, Su Ruixi! The four of you, take two shifts and arrest those rich and heartless landlords! Remember, don't let anyone in their family off!”
"Yes, sir! Battalion Commander, I promise to complete the mission!"
The four of them replied in unison. Then, they turned around and smiled sinisterly. They had long been furious with this group of people and had long wanted to deal with them!
……
This night was destined to be an extraordinary one. For these landowners, many of the landowners who had resisted the recruitment of these county towns were all secretly arrested overnight.
The next day, the people who woke up early in each village saw teams of soldiers entering their villages. These people all had friendly and intimate expressions on their faces, making people feel very comfortable. They did not have the arrogance and discrimination of the soldiers from the county city at all. Slowly, everyone let down their guard.
"Villagers! We are the Su Family's Self-Defense Force! We are here today to help you. Do you see the people behind us? He is the big landlord of your village. Our Su family's Self-Defense Force is here to judge this group of bandits who have caused trouble!”
The speech of an officer of the Self-Defense Forces caused everyone to whisper. At this moment, they saw the landlord family squatting behind the group of people holding guns. Their faces were covered in dust, and they no longer had the arrogance from before. However, no one spoke!
"Villagers! Don't be afraid, everyone. I'm just like you. I'm a poor farmer. Many people in the Self-Defense Force are like that! But our Young Master Su is kind-hearted. He gave us a share of the land and money…"
Such scenes played out in different villages. After more than a month of cultural influence, the officers of the Self-Defense Forces became eloquent. In a short while, they said that they were here to save everyone from the sea of misery. As long as they were willing to report the crimes of these landlords, they could get back the land that they had occupied!
The people who had been agitated by the comments all stood up one by one and accused them of their various actions. After saying that, it seemed that everyone felt that they were not afraid of them even with the support of the Self-Defense Forces. One of them even spat at them!
In the end, it was proven that many of the landowners who had committed heinous crimes were executed on the spot and their homes were confiscated. At the same time, the land occupied by these farmers was returned on the spot. They also took the opportunity to mention that the Su family was recruiting a large number of poor farmers to work in the county town. They would pay the wages now, but they had to keep everything that happened today a secret.
Amidst the cries of gratitude, the Self-Defense Forces dragged the property of these landlords to Xiayang Dam. Su Zhenze, who was still at Xiayang Dam, received a notification from the system that his reputation in the vicinity had increased by a few thousand. After exchanging for more than a thousand reward points, his reputation in the surrounding dozens of villages had reached the Gratitude Achievement! He knew that his operation to clean up the landlord had succeeded!
However, he still had to do the follow-up work well. These landlords still had some industries in the county town, and he had already raided their homes. It should be at least a hundred thousand yuan! Their properties in the county town and all the landowners added up should not exceed 50,000 yuan. However, if he wanted to completely settle this matter now and not let the people in the county town find trouble for him, he had to invest some money!
He remembered that County Head Ma liked antiques very much, especially those that had a sense of dynasty. Thinking of this, he already had an idea!
Get someone to call Wang Wukong over. Needless to say, this kid was quite talented in scouting and intelligence gathering. Moreover, he was smart and used to it very well. However, in terms of military potential, he was only a battalion commander. Su Zhenze felt that with some training, he could still be a regiment commander! However, Su Zhenze felt that he was a genius in the field of intelligence. It was a waste to train him in the military!
"Hey, Battalion Commander! You were looking for me!"
Wang Wukong asked with a cheeky smile as soon as he entered.
"Monkey King! You brat, you're really trying to take advantage of me! I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've become more capable!”Su Zhenze clapped his hands and said with a straight face. He knew that he could not indulge this Monkey King. If he praised him, he would definitely jump into the sky!
Upon seeing this, Wang Wukong rolled his eyes and his expression turned serious. He thought to himself," I haven't done anything wrong recently. Why is the battalion commander so angry?"
"Monkey King! I need you to go to the county town in a few days. Go…"
Su Zhenze said to Wang Wukong in a mysterious manner. Anyway, his request for Wang Wukong was to go secretly and come back quietly. At the same time, he would investigate the situation of the guards there!
