Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

That afternoon, more than a dozen transport planes arrived in Bao'an County and airdropped a batch of equipment for Xie Zhiyu, mainly light weapons. In terms of heavy weapons, there were only a small number of mortars and rocket launchers.

Xie Zhiyu reorganized the people he brought into a company and appointed himself as the company commander.

These are elite soldiers who have fought in many battles.

As soon as he got the weapons, Xie Zhiyu led his troops to drive out the county magistrate and other officials. He did not hide anything and personally took on the position of county magistrate, shouldering both military and political responsibilities.

This really stirred up a hornet's nest.

At this time, Bao'an County had armed forces including a security division under the "Security Command" and some local police, totaling about 3,000 people. They defended several strongholds along the coast, including Shajing, Xixiang, Nantou County and Shenzhen Town.

When Luo Yaozu, the commander of the Security Division, heard that someone dared to cause trouble in his territory, he immediately dispatched a regiment to teach Xie Zhiyu a lesson.

Luo Yaozu is the local tyrant in Bao'an County, and the Luo family is a famous large family in the local area.

Although Xie Zhiyu is a big name, that is in the West.

In the southern region, Xie Zhiyu was just an unknown defeated general.

Lieutenant General?

Don't be ridiculous, this stuff is everywhere, Luo Yaozu himself is a major general.

A regiment of 1500 people marched towards the county government in a mighty force. These people were almost the entire mobile force of the security division.

The higher-ups do not allocate military pay to local troops, so how many people they can support depends entirely on their own abilities.

Xie Zhiyu was already prepared to fight the enemy, and he didn't take such a mob seriously at all.

Out of courtesy, he even warned him three times.

On the archway, Zhang Dashan was lying on the gun sight, observing Luo Yaozu's position.

Most of the members of the security team are local people. If they kill too cruelly, it may cause resentment among the local people.

Not only must we win this battle, but we must win it decisively.

Luo Yaozu was sitting in a broken jeep, with his legs crossed and a relaxed look on his face.

1500 VS 100!

A mouthful of spit from each person can drown the other.

Suddenly, there was a burst of gunfire from the front, and Deputy Luo Wenbao yelled,

"Protect the Master!"

The guard company surrounded the jeep tightly.

These more than 200 people are Luo Yaozu's direct subordinates. They are provided with good food and drink and receive strict training on a daily basis.

This is the fundamental way to protect your life, and you must take it seriously.

Luo Yaozu waved his hand and shouted,

"The gunshots can be heard two miles away. Stay calm!"

The guards then dispersed, but remained vigilant.

Luo Wenbao shouted,

"Search the surroundings and don't let Xie take advantage of the situation!"

"Yes!"

Those who went to search were all smiling happily. They liked doing this kind of work the most because they could steal things, and if they were lucky, they could even touch a few young girls and wives.

Search? Who knows if you have any 'murder weapons' hidden on you?

Qian Chuanzi kicked the wooden door open. The loud noise scared the ducks in the yard, and they quacked non-stop and ran around in panic.

Qian Chuanzi was overjoyed and rushed over to catch the duck without paying any attention to the duck droppings on the ground.

The homeowner heard the noise and rushed out with a harpoon in his hand. When he saw it was Bai Gouzi, he quickly threw away the harpoon, turned around and ran away, hiding back in the house and closing the door.

Qian Chuanzi certainly discovered him, but he didn't care about him. He waited until he caught the duck and then searched the house.

Luo Yaozu also knew what kind of people his men were, so he did not stop them.

This is a strategy to maintain military strength, making soldiers feel that being a soldier is superior to others, so that they will be loyal to the army.

The military pay was insufficient, and they were occasionally asked to raise their own funds.

Have you ever seen a dog that doesn't bite chickens?

In the yard, Qian Chuanzi had succeeded. He caught four of the six ducks and asked the homeowner to keep the rest.

Wait until the duck flock grows bigger before coming back.

Only a steady stream of water can last long.

The security guard is very sensible and will never do anything to the extreme!

Qian Chuanzi tied up the duck legs, hung them on the tip of his gun, and shouted,

"Everyone in the room, listen carefully. The security division is suppressing bandits and protecting the country and the people, but they are short of funds. Do you understand?"

Seeing no movement in the house, he went forward and kicked the door!

The homeowner clenched his fists and wanted to run out to fight, but his wife and children held him tightly.

"I am poor, so I will use my ducks to help the army!"

Qian Chuanzi was very satisfied and continued to drink.

"I'm very pleased that you can do this. How about this? I'll sell you the remaining two ducks at a 30% discount. This is because the commander is considerate of the people. You must seize this opportunity!"

The homeowner's wife quickly threw a handful of copper coins through the crack in the door.

Seeing that the other party was so happy and had quite a lot of money, Qian Chuanzi rolled his eyes and shouted,

"The price is wrong, isn't it? Don't think I don't know the price of ducks. You're trying to trick me? No way! Pay me half more!"

The homeowner, a tall and strong man, could no longer bear it. He wanted to fight to the death, but he was worried about his family and burst into tears.

Qian Chuanzi didn't want to push the other person too far, so he changed his words and said,

"Since your family is pitiful, I'll halve the remaining balance. Hurry up, I need to go to another place!"

The subtext of the words is: As long as you give me the money, I will leave immediately!

Two more copper coins were stuffed through the crack in the door, and at the same time, a woman's crying voice could be heard.

"Boss, there's really no money left at home!"

Blackmail also requires discretion.

Qian Chuanzi frowned and shouted,

"Think it over before you reply. If you're found out, you'll be deceiving the security team and will be sued!"

"It's gone, it's really gone!"

Seeing that his threats were ineffective, Qian Chuanzi knew that the other party might really have no money. He shook his head and said regretfully,

"Since I feel sorry for you, I'll take a little loss. You should be grateful for the security guard's kindness!"

Qian Chuanzi hummed a little tune and walked away leisurely. The duck at the muzzle of the gun quacked as if speaking up for the landlord.

On the archway, Xie Zhiyu said expressionlessly,

"fire!"

Six mortars roared, and shells streaked across the sky and fell towards Luo Yaozu's jeep, bursting into brilliant fireworks as he was terrified.

This is a ragtag army. They don’t even know how to dodge when artillery shells come.

The coin was blown away by the blast and landed in the yard where the ducks were being snatched. He fainted, and the ropes on the four ducks' feet accidentally loosened. They regained their freedom and began to walk slowly around the yard.

After six mortars fired five rounds, Luo Yaozu and his escort disappeared into the dust of history.

"Surf the gun and don't kill!"

The 1500 people lost their backbone and stood there in a daze. When they came to their senses, they quickly threw away their guns and squatted on the side of the road with their heads in their hands.

Even if there are a few stubborn elements, they cannot stop hundreds of sharpshooters.

Xie Zhiyu took to the streets and shouted,

"Don't be afraid, folks. I'm Xie Zhiyu, commander of the 1st Independent Division. I've been ordered to take over Bao'an County. Now, you can reclaim your stolen property. From today on, anyone who dares to bully you will be my sworn enemy! If anyone bullies you, you can pick up your harpoon and pierce them like a fish! In short, anyone who bullies the common people will die!"

After Xie Zhiyu finished speaking, he shouted,

"Zhang Dashan!"

"To!"

"Order all members of the security division to return to the camp, confiscate their weapons, and do not allow them to leave without permission!"

"Yes!"

"Liu Ge, lead the second platoon to raid Luo Yaozu's home and confiscate his property!"

"Yes!"

……

Firing at one's own people is a heinous crime. Mo Wei, the administrative inspector and commander of the cleanup operation in the second district, was furious when he heard this and immediately wanted to lead his troops to carry out the cleanup operation.

Here, we have to mention the administrative divisions of Guangdong Province at that time.

The provincial government divides administrative inspection areas into two types: areas directly inspected by the provincial government and areas under special administrative inspection.

The provincial government directly supervises 12 cities and counties, including Nanhai and Panyu.

The administrative inspection area of ​​the special agency is divided into 11 districts, with a total of 88 counties under its jurisdiction.

Bao'an County belongs to the second administrative inspection district.

Due to the chaotic situation, the commissioners often shoulder both military and political responsibilities and have enormous power.

Before Mo Wei's troops had assembled, they received a direct letter of appointment from the provincial government, appointing Xie Zhiyu as the county magistrate of Bao'an County.

The reason is simple. An Lan and Xue Mei, the eldest daughter of the provincial chairman, became good friends. With her mediation, things became simple.

The authorities also did not want to offend General Xie, who was in the limelight, so they used the appointment as a fig leaf to save the provincial government's face.

Xie Zhiyu is not someone to be trifled with. When he was still a small regimental commander, he dared to confront Yu Guangrong and even did something bad to the people in the military inspection office.

Now that he has become a lieutenant general and a division commander, he is even more fearless.

Look, before he even had a firm foothold, he had already dealt with the local tyrant.

As soon as Xie Zhiyu occupied the county town, Consul Victor of Yangcheng visited him privately.

It is very clear what the Americans mean.

What else could the provincial government do? After all, Xie Zhiyu was on their side, so they just considered it a favor.

After sorting out the civil affairs, Xie Zhiyu found that Bao'an County was extremely poor. What was even worse was that taxes had been collected for thirty years.

Bao'an County at that time was a typical agricultural society, mainly growing crops such as rice and vegetables. Agricultural production technology was relatively backward and the yield was low.

The landform is mainly mountainous, with only 60 mu of arable land, less than two mu per capita.

There are fisheries in coastal areas, but the scale of fishery production is small. Most fishing boats are small sampans, which are unable to engage in deep-sea fishing, and the fishermen's lives are difficult.

The industrial base is very weak, with only a small number of small industries such as agricultural and sideline product processing and agricultural machinery repair, and they are scattered.

Business is mainly based on traditional market trade, with a limited variety of goods traded and a small market size.

Xie Zhiyu visited many places, pulled out a lot of hair, and finally turned his gaze to the sea.

As the saying goes, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the sea to eat the sea.

You can't dig food out of the soil, but you can find food in the sea.

In this era, the scale of deep-sea fishing was limited, so seafood was extremely abundant.

Xie Zhiyu established a fishing company and purchased sixteen thousand-ton fishing boats, which he modified intensively in preparation for deep-sea fishing.

Guangdong Province has developed shipping and a strong shipbuilding industry, so there is no problem in converting fishing boats.

At the same time, Xie Zhiyu introduced a production line and prepared to build a factory to make fish balls and canned fish.

These factories have already been operating quite maturely in Chongming, and it is entirely possible to introduce management personnel and technicians to get started quickly.

As for where the money comes from, of course it is donations from the West.
