Chapter 40: Before the War


Xingshan County, Kyodo News Base.

The base of the Kyodo Society is on a mountain platform more than 40 kilometers northwest of Xingshan.

It was originally the lair of a bandit family.

After being driven away by a Kyodo Society car, the owner naturally changed.

The top of this platform looks like a "T" shape when viewed from above, covering an area of ​​almost five square kilometers.

The terrain on the top of the mountain was originally relatively flat.

After being spotted by Kyodo News, they used explosives to blow up the raised hills and filled in the depressions above, creating a flat top of the mountain.

After taking over Xingshan County, the Kyodo Society hired thousands of people nearby to build large-scale construction projects on the platform.

For building materials, a cement factory and lime kiln were opened.

Due to the extensive use of steel bars and cement, as well as the use of local wood and stone materials, and sufficient wages, the construction speed was extremely fast.

After more than three months, the main buildings were almost completed.

At this time, in the conference room that had just been renovated and the plaster on the walls had not yet dried, a group of Kyodo Society officers above the company level were sitting.

In order to eat up the incoming Hubei New Army, Wen Desi transferred two infantry regiments from nearby areas in addition to an infantry regiment and an artillery battalion stationed at the base.

The total strength rose to 12,000.

Kyodo Society's current military strength, equipment, training, experience, intelligence and even tactics are all superior to its opponents, not to mention the geographical location and people, plus the soldiers' unscrupulous ideas, if they still can't win like this , President Luo Xi can also find a piece of tofu and die.

Therefore, the content of their current meeting has little to do with the invading Hubei New Army.

Yi Damao, commander of the Combat Engineer Company of the 7th Infantry Regiment, was speaking.

He said with excitement, "Comrade President, I don't understand why we had to retreat from Jingmen City when we attacked Jingmen.

We can obviously defeat it.

The patrols guarding the city The camp is almost wiped out by us, and it will take at most half a day before we can liberate Jingmen."

Comrade Yi Damao is not a cyborg, but one of the few indigenous people in this time and space who has become a mid-level officer of the Kyodo Society.

Now the largest organization of the Kyodo Society army is the regiment, so the company commander is also considered a mid-level officer.

Yi Damao turned out to be a blaster at Kaiping Coal Mine in Tangshan, and he was very good with explosives.

During the Boxer Rebellion, he also followed the senior brothers of the Boxer Rebellion for a few days.

After the Boxer Rebellion failed, he ran back to Tangshan.

Later, the Kaiping Coal Mine was taken over by the British.

Yi Damao, an angry young man, was extremely dissatisfied with this.

Because he was good at playing with explosives, he organized a bomb squad and killed two British people who came to take over the coal mine and several others.

Ah San follows.

When this guy saw what he had done, he became frightened and ran away to Henan.

After living in Henan for a while, I still felt uneasy, so I went south to visit my relatives.

As a result, I encountered the big flood last year and ended up in Chongqing.

The mines in Chongqing have not yet been developed on a large scale, and the small-scale mine owners do not have explosives for them to play with.

Fortunately, he also learned the skills of a hand electrician in the Tangshan mine.

Relying on his knowledge of electrician, he went to Chongqing Zhuchuan Electric Lighting Co., Ltd. and volunteered to become an electrician.

Zhuchuan Company was the first power plant in Chongqing.

Because Xingke Company's thermal ball machines and power generation equipment were sold in large quantities, Zhuchuan Company was established two years earlier than the original time and space.

But this guy has a very bad character.

A policeman who was in charge of this case in Tangshan came to Chongqing on business.

One day when he was on the street, he happened to meet Yi Damao, who was working from Zhuchuan Company.

The policeman was from the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan area.

The famous six-door veteran with a photographic memory recognized the terrorist at a glance and immediately went to arrest him.

Yi Damao relied on being more familiar with the road than the head catcher who had just arrived in Chongqing, and narrowly escaped capture.

But the next day, his wanted posters were posted all over the city.

The local officials had to pay attention.

Among the people killed by him, there were two genuine British people.

It is said that one of the dead ghosts was a relative of the minister to China.

This was a big case.

The Qing government was patting itself on the back for the British.

I guarantee that he will be caught, Yi Damao will be executed in Lingchi, and he will give an explanation to the distinguished British master.

Fortunately, Yi Damao was alert.

After escaping pursuit, he went home and took his belongings with him, and directly found a boatman to take him across the Jialing River.

Otherwise, he would not even be able to leave the city by the next day.

However, except for the road leading to Hechuan County in the north, all roads in other directions are blocked.

As for Hechuan County, it's at the foot of Huaying Mountain.

It's the territory of bandits, big monsters that even the government doesn't dare to mess with.

Now Yi Damao was desperate.

He thought to himself: Damn it, the desert is full of mud.

This bastard Qing Dynasty really has nothing to do with horses.

Didn't I just blow up a few foreign devils who were robbing mines?

This is for you.

It's a shame to vent your anger I used to "support the Qing Dynasty and destroy the foreign countries", but I hid in Chongqing and still refused to let him go, and even delayed me to kneel down and lick the foreign devils.

This is really something that my aunt can tolerate, but neither can my uncle.

Well, since you can't tolerate me, I will surrender to the bandits So, he simply got angry, twisted his braids, and shaved his head.

He heard that the Wu bandits were all bald, so he went to Huaying Mountain to seek refuge with the "Wudits".

When he worked in Chongqing before, he had some knowledge of these "bandits".

I know that this is a group of bandits with "quite an ancient style".

It is said that they shout the slogan "Land to the tiller" and specialize in robbing the rich to help the poor, hoeing the strong and helping the weak.

They are much stronger than the "Liangshan heroes" in the play, " The "heroes of Liangshan" did not allocate land to the poor people.

What Yi Damao didn't expect was that in the territory of the "Wugong Bandits", the security was even tighter than that of the government.

Just after entering Hechuan County, he encountered a bandit's road card and was stopped for questioning.

Yi Damao didn't hide anything.

He couldn't hide such a big case, so he told his story.

The platoon leader asked the two soldiers to report to the public relations department in the county.

What's funny is that now, apart from the county seat, Hechuan County is still in the hands of the imperial court, and the outside of the city has long been a place for bandits to have fun.

Fortunately, there is a tacit understanding between the bandits and the government, "As long as you don't mess with me, I won't attack the city."

So the roads are still open, but the government no longer dares to take care of it.

Even the road cards that collect tolls have become He arrived at the patrol post of the bandit.

The local government and the Kyodo Society coexist peacefully in a very magical state.

Both parties pretend that the other does not exist and do their own thing.

Hey, in fact, even Hechuan County still belongs to the imperial court in name only, and it makes no difference whether it is conquered or not.

Public security, defense and other functions in the city were all taken over by the Kyodo Society.

The group of soldiers on duty at the gate of the city were from the Kyodo Society.

They didn't even bother to cover up.

They were directly on duty in Kyodo Society's military uniforms.

Together with the Qing Dynasty dragon flag planted on the city wall, they gave people an indescribable feeling.

A sense of dissonance.

The bandits even opened an office in the county seat.

They opened it very arrogantly opposite the county government office, and even hung a sign "Kyodo Society Hechuan County Office."

According to their explanation, this is the place where they will communicate with the public servants of the Qing Dynasty in the future.

Everyone should communicate more and move around more in the future to avoid any misunderstandings.

No matter how uncomfortable the public servants of the Qing Dynasty were, if someone put a gun to their forehead and a cannon was fired at their door, they immediately cooperated.

Since the Kyodo Society attaches great importance to the development of productivity, after taking over the land, it not only distributed fields, organized farmers into cooperatives to carry out intensive agricultural production, but also opened a number of factories and breeding farms.

The products produced, such as refined salt, salted duck, salted eggs, silk, cured meat, iron farm tools, and other products, are cheaper and of better quality than before.

They quickly became famous in the neighborhood, attracting many businesses to come here.

As a result, a strange prosperity appeared on the ground in Hechuan.

Originally, the officials felt that they were almost finished.

The government officials did not even dare to leave the city.

How could they collect taxes?

Besides, many old faces among the government officials were gone, but there were many "new faces" who did not know where they came from.

These public servants The command cannot move.

The bandits don't want the taxes collected in the city, but they warned the gentlemen that the transaction tax cannot exceed 5.

The most amazing thing is that when bandits sell things in the city, they also pay taxes according to regulations.

Hey, you talked about the agricultural tax outside the city, ahem, can we not talk about the outside city?

But the tax revenue from the city alone is not enough.

We can’t collect the tax.

Even if the bandits don’t attack the city, we can’t do anything this time.

It's the end of this official career.

But what made the officials' glasses shattered was that just three months after market transactions were officially resumed, the commercial tax collected was equivalent to the total tax revenue in the past six months.

The officials breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as I can collect the taxes, I will complete the task, no matter how much trouble you make outside the city.

As for the difference between commercial and agricultural taxes, I no longer collect taxes in kind early in the morning anyway.

Even the gentry who grow grain have to exchange the grain they collect into money to pay taxes.

The agricultural tax is gone, so I can just use the commercial tax to offset it.

The superior officer only asks about the amount and doesn't care where the money was collected.

What Yi Damao saw in Hechuan County was such a magical scene.

He could not have imagined that there were such extravagant "bandits" in the world.

Damn it, have you ever seen the bandits working opposite the county government office?

Have you ever seen the bandits maintaining law and order in the city?

Have you ever seen the bandits standing guard at the city gates and walls?

Of course, such extravagant behavior is only found in the most liberated state capitals in eastern Sichuan.

It is still not common in Hubei.

With such thick legs, if I don't hug you now, I will become a bandit later.

Let's see who dares to catch me.

Yi Damao was very excited and asked to join.

Only then did Yi Damao learn that the official name of the "Wu Bandits" was Kyodo Society, and a more accurate term was the "Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army".

The Kyodo Society is the general name of this organization, and the "Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army" is the name of its armed forces.

However, the Wu bandits did not accept him directly like other mountaintops.

Instead, they asked him and a group of new recruits to go to a village outside the city to learn theoretical knowledge.

When a bandit has to learn theoretical knowledge, Yi Damao suddenly felt that his brain was a little insufficient.

Didn't he wake up in the wrong way today?

Damn, I'm here to become a bandit, not to take the exam for scholar.

If it weren't for other locals, The recruits all looked as if they were not surprised.

He must have thought that the PR minister was joking.

After seven days of basic theoretical study, Yi Damao finally understood that this Kyodo Society was really not a bandit, but a very strange revolutionary party.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

It was strange because Yi Damao had never heard of such a revolutionary party.

In his opinion, the Revolutionary Party was similar to the big brothers of the Boxer Rebellion.

They all did things like killing officials and rebelling, besieging government offices, assassinating officials, etc.

There was no such thing as allocating land to people, setting up factories, and building repairs.

The revolutionary party that builds roads and bridges The instructors who explain the basic theories are very qualified.

They use the most simple and easy-to-understand vernacular in their lectures, just like talking to ordinary people.

Even an illiterate person can understand it, unlike those literate people who always like to say some very difficult words to understand.

The instructors told these recruits in the most straightforward terms: Why did Kyodo Society rise up to rebel, why everyone's life was becoming increasingly difficult to live by, and what kind of new society Kyodo Society wanted to build.

Yi Damao and the recruits were quickly attracted by these theories.

In the next few days, recruits often burst into tears in class with excitement.

After the one-week course, the recruits were re-established their three views and basic beliefs.

Of course, what they don't know is that this course is based on Wen Desi's psychologists and education experts, based on various training methods of later generations, and integrates a large number of achievements in psychology and education.

It took more than half a year to put together a set of training courses.

"MLM training" is a brainwashing method familiar to the public in later generations, but compared with this course, it is scum.

After all, MLM is a scam, and the things taught in the courses are all false, but the things taught by Kyodo Society are real.

Even if you don’t talk about the results and just look at the techniques, the “MLM” thing is not very good.

It can only seize the desire to “get rich” and make a fuss about it, which has great limitations.

There are many types of human desires.

In addition to "getting rich", there are also "promotion", "famous", "being worshiped", etc., as well as higher-level senses of mission, achievement, honor, and salvation.

Until the pursuit of "ruling the country and bringing peace to the world".

Can MLM brag about these things?

Do you dare to brag about them?

These desires are all human instincts, and any normal person will have these consciousnesses.

In the past, these high-level wishes had never been possible for the people at the bottom, and their inferiority made them dare not even think about it.

But it doesn't mean that they don't have this consciousness, but that these consciousnesses are hidden.

This training course uses psychological means to destroy their inferiority complex, reshape their outlook on life, and unleash various high-level desires in the subconscious of the recruits.

In the most straightforward terms, it is to enable recruits to establish a "sense of ownership and responsibility."

Of course, this training process is long-term, and just seven days can only be regarded as laying a foundation.

In the future service period, this course will continue to help their thoughts continue to be consolidated and further deepened.

Yi Damao is only in his early 20s this year, which is the age of an angry youth.

If he were not an angry youth, he would not plant bombs for the British.

After learning about the scientific socialist industrialization theory of Kyodo News, I suddenly became a fanatical believer.

The purpose of "overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty, expelling the foreign powers, reviving China, strengthening the country and enriching the people" was even more to his liking.

Because he was good at playing with explosives, Comrade Yi Damao was assigned to be a demolitionist in the Combat Engineer Company after one and a half months of recruit training.

Subsequently, in many battles in eastern Sichuan and western Hubei, he performed extremely eye-catching with his excellent blasting skills, coupled with his firm socialist belief, he quickly became favored by senior officials and stood out from the recruits.

He became deputy squad leader, squad leader, Deputy platoon leader, platoon leader, deputy company commander, all the way to company commander.

This time, Yi Damao's bold ideas accounted for a large proportion of the ambush ring targeted at the Hubei New Army.

There have been rumors that after this battle, Comrade Yi Damao, one of the key training targets, will be sent to the newly established Revolutionary Army Military Command Academy for further training
