Becoming a bandit meant hanging one's head on one's belt to earn a living. Perhaps one day, one of his brothers who coveted the reward would cut off his head and exchange it for silver.
If they went out to rob, how could ordinary people have money to rob?! They were also starving.
Robbing a big family? The big families all lived in castles, and they had guards and even machine guns and grenades.
If they couldn't snatch a big family, a large number of people would die.
The rich families were also related to the security forces. If they were forced to spend money to hire people to surround them, they would have no way out.
"Wuwuwu…My father!”
What was a "grievance meeting"? To put it bluntly, it was "pouring out bitter water" and "mocking the root".
He listened as the soldiers began to open their hearts and tell him about their sufferings and difficulties over the years.
This was the first step of the grievance meeting. Only they could open their hearts and talk about their experiences and sufferings.
Only then could he proceed to the next step-the sarcastic root.
"Have you ever wondered why we have to suffer?! He had to suffer this? To be bullied by the landlord, the county lord, and the officers of the Guo army?!”
The moment he asked this question, the soldiers below were instantly speechless.
That's right! We are all the same, why should we let them bully us?! Humiliate them like livestock?
This question flashed across everyone's mind. Why?!
"It was because everyone was bullied, treated like livestock, and not treated as humans that we were born!”
Yang Zhongde stood up at this moment, his eyes shining brightly under the fire!
The warriors below looked up with reverence in their eyes.
"Us! It's a force that speaks for us commoners, a force that allows us to live like humans!”
Yang Zhongde waved his hand and asked someone to call the village's peasant association cadre over.
He told these new soldiers how their village fought against traitors, complained, took revenge, and settled accounts.
He also talked about how, with the support of the Eighth Route Army, they held a meeting to let those landlords and county lords accept the trial.
Those who beat people had to apologize, and those who killed people had to pay with their lives!
Those who seized things had to return them to their original owners, those who extorted and extorted had to compensate for their property, and the land of the traitors had to be confiscated and distributed to the toiling people.
The peasants 'association's officials had even sent people to find several poor peasant families who had been bullied in the past. Many of them had sons fighting the devils in the Eighth Route.
The new soldiers 'eyes were burning with rage!
The more they heard, the more excited they became. They wished they could go back to their hometown and hold a meeting for those landowners and county lords!
"Our Eighth Route Army is a cultured, disciplined, idealistic, and moral army that fights for the vast number of poor people!”
Yang Zhongde stood up again and said to these new soldiers in a deep voice.
"So, everyone will be learning about culture next! An uncultured troop was a foolish troop! Without knowledge, one would be deceived! We won't allow this!"
"Besides fighting, we also need to learn culture! If one could write, read, and read the newspaper, they could tell their parents that they were safe and understand the letters from home!”
The new soldiers below were dumbfounded. They could actually…learn culture?!
One had to know that only the rich and powerful families in the village had the privilege of reading and writing!
Ordinary people did not even have enough to eat, even if they knew that literacy could change the fate of their children.
But where would they find the money to send their children to school?!
Even if they were willing to dig at the gaps between their teeth, their entire family would starve to death. They would not give up a child who was studying.
They had never expected that they would have the chance to read and write after becoming an eighth grade student!
"Before that, I want to teach everyone a song! Everyone must learn it carefully and remember it firmly!”
Yang Zhongde looked at the new soldiers solemnly and said in a deep voice,""This song is both our military discipline and the rules of our Eighth Route!”
As he spoke, he got the new soldiers to stand up and start learning songs.
Which song did you learn? Of course, it was the Song of the Three Rules of Discipline and Eight Points for Attention!
There was nothing better than this song to teach these new soldiers.
And let them completely believe and accept it. This was the concept of the Eight Paths.
The song " The Three Greats " might have sounded a little rustic to some people in the future, but there was no song more suitable for new soldiers than this.
The first line was about discipline and attention, and the next line explained why there was such discipline.
For example," Listen to commands in all operations ", and the next sentence was " Only when we are in sync can we win."
The first sentence was " speak in a friendly manner ", and the next sentence was " respect the masses and don't be arrogant."
There was no preaching, just straightforward reasoning, telling the soldiers why they had to do this.
This was the easiest and fastest way for new soldiers who had not received much education.
As soon as the song was sung, these new soldiers completely believed Yang Zhongde and the peasant association.
If they were not fighting for the poor, why would they let their new soldiers learn this song?!
And he even asked them to do it, saying that this was discipline?!
After learning the Three Major Rules of Discipline and Eight Points for Attention, the new soldiers were instantly motivated.
He wished he could kill his way out right now! He would first get rid of the Japanese, then bring his team back to his hometown to organize a farmer's association and a general assembly!
For a whole night, these new soldiers had completely changed from joining the 8th route to becoming a real 8th route.
Even Boss Zhu blushed and pulled Yang Zhongde to the side to talk.
He just wanted to do something big, but he had never thought about what it was.
Yang Zhongde's words made him see the future. He wanted to work in the eighth route!
He naturally wanted to find a few more foreign horses. If he didn't want to, he wouldn't be Boss Zhu.
However, he was willing to wait first. He was willing to work in the Eighth Route until the poor people were liberated before looking for a foreign horse.
"We were born into a poor family. If we weren't desperate, who would be willing to go to the grass?!”
The desolation on Boss Zhu's face made Yang Zhongde sigh.
Zhou Weiguo himself knew half of the rules of the Eighth Route, let alone communicate with Boss Zhu.
If the communication was good, why would Boss Zhu not want to stay in the Eighth Route?!
For a whole night, none of these new soldiers had a chance to rest.
But in the morning, they were all in high spirits, as if they had been injected with two tons of chicken blood.
"Sir! We have nothing to say. As long as you don't retreat, we will dare to fight the Japanese to the end!!”
