Hu Zhenhua had just sent Qi Shuhuan away and had no time to catch his breath when he received news that a wealthy businessman had donated an infantry division's equipment to Xie Zhiyu, and the equipment would be shipped from the sea in a few days.

After some investigation, Hu Zhenhua concluded that the foreigners in Hong Kong do good deeds without leaving their names!

Good man!

……

In Hui County, County Magistrate Zhu Guangxu looked at the reorganization notice sent by Xie Zhiyu and was so worried that his hair fell out.

If he agreed to the reorganization, his political life would be over. After all, Xie Zhiyu was a typical troublemaker who refused to be controlled by the Guangdong Provincial Government.

If you don't agree to the reorganization, General Xie has a strong army and powerful horses. The notice is obviously not a discussion with Zhu Guangxu, but a commanding tone.

There are dead ends at both ends!

Soon, Zhu Guangxu no longer had to worry. Just two hours after the notice was delivered, Guan Dajun, the battalion commander of the Bao'an County Security Corps, led a reinforced battalion of more than 4000 people, crossed the border between the two counties, and headed straight for Huixian County.

The Bao'an County Security Corps has more than 6 people and a total of 4000 battalions, with more than people in each battalion.

This is the result of suffering from not having a regular job, otherwise, Lao Xie wouldn't be able to play like this.

The takeover of the county town went extremely smoothly. Guan's army only launched a round of mortar fire, and the defenders wisely opened the city gates!

Zhu Guangxu hunched his back, held Guan Dajun's hand in a fawning manner, and smiled with wrinkles all over his face.

"Captain Guan, we've been waiting for you to come. Now we have a backbone!"

Guan Dajun casually glanced at the landlords and gentry behind the county magistrate and said with a smile,

"Fellow villagers, I'm here to suppress the bandits! Hui County can't be at peace until the bandit problem is eradicated! Please rest assured, your lives and property will not be touched! However, when it comes to building bunkers and digging trenches, I ask for your cooperation!"

When everyone heard that their land and property would not be touched, they immediately felt relieved. After all, Bao'an County's actions had really scared everyone.

The crowd, who were originally nervous, immediately became lively and welcomed the arrival of the king's teacher. Who could stand here without hundreds or thousands of acres of land at home?

Since China entered the feudal society, for thousands of years, the grassroots have been controlled by landlords and gentry. As long as this bottom line is not crossed, the gentry class can cooperate with any regime.

This is also the reason why the Qing Dynasty was able to rule China.

In sharp contrast to this is the Japanese. As soon as they arrived, they burned, killed, and looted. Regardless of whether you were a gentry or a farmer, they all implemented the Three Alls Policy.

This beastly behavior was strongly resisted by all the people, including the gentry.

After Guan Dajun accepted the flattery from the gentry, he changed the subject and said,

"From now on, Hui County will be under military control. I am a rough man who only cares about military orders and nothing else! I hope that fellow villagers will not let me do something like wielding the sword and executing Ma Su!"

"Yes, yes, yes! We will definitely fulfill our duties!"

Guan Dajun was very satisfied with their attitude and continued,

"Defending our homeland is not only the responsibility of our soldiers, but also the obligation of everyone! We hope that those who have money can contribute money, and those who have strength can contribute strength!"

Zhu Guangxu felt a chill in his heart.

There is no soldier who is not greedy for money. It seems that Hui County will have to bleed heavily.

After exchanging glances, the local people expressed their willingness to donate money to support the army and spoke passionately.

Guan Dajun was very satisfied and immediately took over the city defense and local armed forces.

At the same time, the first battalion attacked everywhere, capturing ruffians and hooligans, and sending them to build bunkers and dig trenches!

Not only that, Guan's army began to conscript civilians to expand roads, build anti-infantry ditches, etc.

The planning had been done long ago. The work team marked out the construction route and drove in wooden stakes, so in just one day, Hui County became a large construction site, and all work was carried out in an orderly manner.

At the county government, Zhu Guangxu started pulling hair again.

The people of the whole county didn't know what was going on, and they flocked to Guan Dajun to complain, accusing corrupt officials and landlords of bullying men and women and exploiting the people's wealth.

Guan Dajun didn't want to take care of it. His task was to build canals, pave roads, and construct defense facilities in the name of defense to prevent the reactionaries' counterattack, and to build coastal defense batteries on the seashore.

I'm completely unfamiliar with civil affairs.

Zhu Guangxu was entrusted with an important task, and Guan Dajun ordered him to handle the unjust, false and wrong cases of the people fairly and impartially.

Old Zhu is the leader of the jackals, how could he possibly deal with himself? His usual strategy is to smooth things over.

For several days, Huicheng fell into a vicious circle:

The people complained to General Guan, who ordered Zhu Guangxu to handle the matter. Zhu Guangxu tried to smooth things over, and the people were dissatisfied.

So, the people started to complain to Guan Dajun again, and Guan Dajun ordered Zhu Guangxu to handle the matter fairly and impartially...

Zhu Guangxu was very worried and went to Guan Dajun to send tributes time and time again.

Landlords, gentry, and corrupt officials came to send tributes to Zhu Guangxu again and again.

Old Zhu was both in pain and happy, as his hair was decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

This vicious cycle only ended when Xie Zhiyu came to inspect.

Guan Dajun was whipped in public, and then the entire battalion went out to capture corrupt officials and local tyrants!

Zhu Guangxu hugged Xie Zhiyu's legs, crying loudly with tears and snot.

"Thank you, General. For the sake of our shared interests in the Party and the country, please spare me this time. I am willing to spend all my wealth to support the troops!"

Two guards stepped forward and hit Lao Zhu in the face with the butts of their guns!

Xie Zhiyu waited until he was beaten to death before squatting down and said with a smile,

"County Magistrate Zhu, you are so confused! Even if I beat you to death, your property will still be confiscated! Captain Guan gave you so many chances, but you didn't cherish them. It's too late to regret it now!"

Zhu Guangxu roared, not knowing where he got the courage from.

"You promised not to touch us!"

Xie Zhiyu snorted coldly and shouted,

"I didn't make any promises. Go find whoever made the promise!"

The man who made the promise was being hung on a wooden stake, his shirt stripped off, and his back was covered with whip marks! When he saw Xie Zhiyu coming, he quickly lowered his head.

Zhu Guangxu suddenly understood something and shouted,

"Xie Zhiyu, you idiot, you're just playing a double act. You're a Communist! You're a Communist!..."

Upon hearing this, the people around took a few steps back, with obvious fear on their faces.

Xie Zhiyu didn't care and shouted,

"Zhu Guangxu is corrupt and commits an unforgivable crime! Hang him!"

He didn't even hold a trial and directly sentenced Zhu Guangxu to death. This warlord style really intimidated the local tyrants and evil gentry, and the subsequent work went much more smoothly.
