War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 586: Making Trouble? (10 monthly tickets plus extra chapter in October!)
"Everyone is looking at me!"

Zhu Rong stood up happily. He represented the Northeast Army, and the foundation of 217 was the Northeast Army. It was appropriate for him to stand up and speak at this time.

"You guys left your homes and careers behind to follow 217 to fight the Japanese, so 217 can't treat you unfairly. But today the elders are not at home, so there is one step missing from the three bows. Is that okay?"

"I propose that at today's wedding, we should worship our parents instead of our grandparents. Do you agree?"

"agree!!!"

"can!"

"That's what we should do!"

All the 217 veterans stood facing Xu Chaoyang. Xu Chaoyang and Yang Jingyu stood in front of these battle-hardened soldiers in place of their parents. Looking at the scars and dark skin on their faces, their eyes that usually stood up when they saw the devils were gradually becoming gentle. Xu Chaoyang's eyes were inexplicably moist...

"Bow to heaven and earth!"

"Two bows, I bow to you!"

"Bow three times, husband and wife bow to each other!"

Rows of couples lined up outside the manor, standing in a crowded row. Outside the courtyard, the cooks had to set up a shed and stove to cook. There were so many people that the kitchen could not fit so many pots. Outside the manor, there were rows of houses built by the guys from 217 in the past few days. They were called houses, but in fact they were temporary residences made of wooden boards that could block wind and rain. At this time, there was no choice in the living environment.

"Captain, 217 is still in charge of finding a wife..."

Old Han was originally very happy. He had won the battle and brought the Japanese into Xinzhou. Now he was caught up in the happy event of the 217 collective wedding. He even went into the shed himself to swing the ladle. Who would have thought that his subordinates would suddenly say such a thing?

"Why, are you jealous? You're jealous that you were transferred to 217!"

This was originally Lao Han's complaint, but who knew that his subordinates took it seriously: "Captain, do you agree?"

Old Han's eyes almost popped out of his head, and he swung the ladle and hit the boy on the head with a trembling sound: "You kid, you will become a traitor sooner or later!"

What kind of financial resources does 217 have? If others can afford to buy wives for their subordinates, can he afford it? Old Han can't even afford to buy a machine gun, let alone a wife. I heard that the total price of the girls from the refugee families today is more than yuan, and it has to be in silver dollars.

"Ouch!" The boy who was beaten shrank his neck and grinned, saying, "Captain, why are you really hitting me?"

"Why didn't I beat you to death?"

The two of them were joking and coughing here, and there was laughter inside, and there was a constant voice saying, "Zhao Ergou, be gentle at night, I nailed one less nail on the bed in your room!" This was of course a joke, and it was also the envy of these young men who were not old enough for the other person, but what could they do? You can't enter the bridal chamber for others, and they may not be willing even if you are willing.

"Send to the bridal chamber!"

As soon as the voice came from inside, Lao Han quickly threw down the ladle and said, "Chief Cook, come and help me cook."

"Captain, what are you doing?"

"Didn't you hear the shouting inside? They've already sent her to the bridal chamber, why don't you quickly get under the window? In our hometown, this is the busiest time... That dead noise... Uh, huh, why are you asking about this?"

"Work!"

Old Han took off his apron and walked towards the yard. As soon as he came out of the shed, he saw a group of people in white clothes, holding banners and scattering paper money, walking towards him.

Old Han's eyes popped up at that moment. Today was the 217 group wedding, and no one would have to go through here for a funeral. Isn't this just making things awkward?

"My fellow countryman!"

Old Han quickly stopped them, stood in front of the funeral procession, looked at a woman crying and said, "My condolences."

"Here's what's going on. We're having a wedding in our village, but yours is a funeral. These two are in conflict. Do you think this will work? I'll find a few strong young men to show you the way and do the hard work. We'll take a detour. If there's anything that needs lifting, let them do it. Okay? I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Old Han has been very polite, so what else do you want? Our party and our army treat the common people as human beings, but we can't do everything as you please. We have to discuss it.

"Can you read?"

The woman in the lead took a step forward holding the tablet, pointed at the words on the tablet and said, "Read it out."

Old Han looked at the words on the tablet and read: "Captain of the New Second Regiment of the 217th..." At this point, he immediately raised his head and continued with the words: "Yu Minghao..."

The woman took another step forward: "Can we take this road?"

Old Han didn't understand: "Who are you?" "Yu Qiulan, Yu Minghao's biological sister!"

"No... I heard that the second captain's funeral has already been held..."

"Yes!" She was still right, as if she was looking at you and saying, "I came here today just to cause trouble!"

"So what do you want?"

"I want to ask Xu Chaoyang for an explanation. My brother's funeral was held, but Xu Chaoyang didn't even show up. Shouldn't he give us an explanation?"

This is a bit unreasonable. Old Han explained: "When the second commander's funeral was held, we went there..."

"Is it Xu Chaoyang?"

"I just want to ask you if you are Xu Chaoyang!"

"Since it wasn't Xu Chaoyang, then do I know who the person was? Do I know him? Can I ask about this, yes or no?"

He was so sharp-tongued that he scratched his head at what Old Han said: "It's okay for you to ask, but you can't do it this way, right? You're just making things worse... I can't argue with you. Wait a minute, I'll have someone call you out, and then you can talk."

He is not a member of 217. He came here with good intentions to help, so there is no need to get scolded. Just let each person deal with their own business. The key is that outsiders cannot interrupt in this kind of matter. If someone says, "What does this have to do with you?" you won't even be able to answer.

"Cook squad leader!"

The head cook dropped his ladle and ran inside...

……

Inside the village, newlywed couples were teased by their comrades and walked out of the courtyard with their heads down. At this time, Xu Chaoyang's face was full of the kindness of an old father...

"Chaoyang, can I ask you something?"

Deputy Director Li came over.

Xu Chaoyang turned around and smiled, "Go ahead."

"Chaoyang, I heard that when you were in Inner Mongolia, you conquered a large landlord and even burned an IOU to give him land. Is that true?"

Xu Chaoyang nodded.

"Tell me what you think?"

Xu Chaoyang looked at Deputy Director Li's curious expression and deliberately took a handful: "Do you really want to listen?"

"If you keep showing off, I won't listen..."

"Hey, little hot-tempered guy, you're going to get angry just because you say so?"

Xu Chaoyang quickly pulled Deputy Director Li back to the point: "Land is the lifeblood of the common people, and it is the top priority in the eyes of the rulers of all dynasties. That's why the ministers are racing to enclose land and hoard land. The emperors are actually using land to control the people, but no one has ever exposed this from ancient times to the present."

"The question is, now that you have the title deed, the land is yours. Can it run away? Can you take it away? You can't, right? Then who does this land belong to? Is there any need to tell me?"

"I wanted to live a stable life back then. I didn't plan to develop there for a long time, so I just gave out the land. But it's not the case at all!"

Land is the best way for our party and army to unite the masses. Why do the people risk their lives to support our party and army? Yes, being good to the people and treating them as human beings is one aspect, but it is definitely not a large proportion. The largest proportion is the distribution of land!

Do you know how to fight the Kuomintang government? Do you know how to persuade prisoners of war to surrender?
The first sentence is 'Where is your home' and then he says 'The land has been divided in our hometown, and now every household has land to farm'. What is this called? It's called 'The world does not belong to one person, but to everyone in the world'. From a business perspective, this is called investing. How can you not be on the side of your own people?

But when Xu Chaoyang said this, he seemed to understand a little: "Uncle, what you mean is..."

Deputy Director Li was still a little reluctant. He certainly understood the benefits of this, but he still said, "It's okay. I'll think about it."

This time Xu Chaoyang finally understood why he was the 'deputy' director.

"Report, there's an accident outside!"

A soldier ran in quickly and stood in front of them, his face full of panic!
This surprised Xu Chaoyang a little. His soldiers from the 217th Division were not panicked when they saw the Japanese. What was going on?
