Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

Two days later

Su Shan brought Liu Feng back to Meishan, and Ai Erhua agreed to help

He also brought a pass that Elhua had obtained as a member of the Locke family.

And also asked Liu Feng to tell Li Yan

The Locke family agreed to cooperate with the Red Army

Ai Er Hua is in Xiamen

If Li Yan arrives in Zhangzhou, go to Xiamen

The two sides need to discuss the details of the cooperation

Li Yan arranged the affairs of Meishan and immediately took 12 people from the Dragon Blood Special Operations Brigade

Following Liu Feng, we rode fast horses to Zhangzhou secretly overnight.

With the Locke family's pass and Liu Feng's identity as the young manager of Wansheng Herb Garden,

Smooth journey

Early next morning

The little beggar said: "Instructor, there is a town at the foot of the mountain"

"The horses have been running all night, why not go to the town to rest for a while?"

Li Yan looked from a distance and saw that the town was huge with rows of houses arranged in an orderly manner.

The surrounding mountains are continuous and the bamboos are everywhere.

There are still some wisps of mist floating on the river

It really has some prosperous scenes

I couldn't help but ask Liu Feng: "Where is this?"

Liu Feng smiled and introduced: "This is Longshan Town, named after its terrain that resembles a sleeping dragon."

"Longshan Town is rich in various high-quality fruits and is known as the "Hometown of Bamboo" and the "Hometown of Fruits"

"It attracted many businessmen and gradually formed a big town."

Li Yan didn't expect to see such a scene when he came to the Republic of China

He slapped the horse under him and said loudly: "Everyone speed up and go to the town ahead to rest."

After a night of running, everyone was already exhausted

Hearing that we can rest, we are so excited that we speed up a bit.

A pack of cigarettes

Everyone has come to the foot of the mountain, less than 500 meters away from Longshan Town

Liu Feng suddenly shouted: "Stop!"

Everyone was startled and suddenly pulled the reins

The horse leaned back, flew into the air, and neighed continuously.

Li Yan asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Liu Feng frowned and said, "Captain, it should be morning market time in Longshan Town now."

“I can’t see a single person.”

“That’s a bit strange.”

Li Yan looked around and thought it was a little strange that such a big town was so quiet.

He ordered: "Everyone be careful"

Everyone rode forward slowly, their eyes watching around vigilantly.

while walking

Leopard shouted: "Instructor, there is a person lying under the big tree in front."

Everyone stopped moving forward and dismounted.

Li Yan walked forward first

When I got to the big tree and saw the scene in front of me, I was stunned.

A half-naked man, skinny, with sunken eye sockets, exuding a strong smell of death.

Li Yan clenched his fists, and veins popped up on his face.

This was the first time Li Yan saw a person starved to death.

Leopard saw Li Yan's angry expression

He quickly ordered: "Guo Dali, Dai Ping, find a place to bury the body."

Li Yan looked at the corpse being carried away, but his heart could not calm down for a long time.

The little beggar seemed to understand Li Yan's feelings

He said comfortingly: "Instructor, when I was a beggar, I often saw this kind of thing."

“It’s okay here, but people are starving.”

"In the north, once winter arrives, hundreds or even thousands of people die of starvation and freezing overnight."

Li Yan heard the little beggar's calm words

My head buzzed

I only heard that there were starving people everywhere during the Republic of China period.

At that time, I thought that what was said in history books was a bit exaggerated. After all, the Republic of China was not a feudal society.

For Li Yan, who has a modern soul, there is nothing wrong with killing the enemy on the battlefield.

But I can't accept the scene before my eyes

So I walked forward numbly

After walking a few dozen meters, Li Yan stopped again.

A big pit appeared in a bamboo forest beside the road.

There are corpses piled up inside

There are white-haired old people, women with tattered clothes, and children under 3 years old.

Li Yan believed it

"All nations are on the march, and the mountains and hills are covered with beacon fires."

"The corpses piled up in the grass and trees smelled stinky, the blood flowed in the river and the plains were red

"What is the land of happiness? How dare you linger here?"

"Abandoning the thatched house, I feel heartbroken and devastated"

Li Yan couldn't help but burst into tears: "Little beggar, can someone go to the town to see what's going on?"

After that, he walked silently towards the big pit and started digging and filling it with soil with his hands.

The crowd did not dissuade him and just followed Li Yan's example and started digging the soil with their hands to fill the gap.

Even Liu Feng, the young manager of Wansheng Herb Garden, joined in.

The little beggar said nothing and walked towards the town with Tong Liang.

Half an hour later, the mass grave was finally filled.

Li Yan's hands were worn out, blood mixed with dirt kept flowing.

Li Yan didn't notice it at all. He sat under a bamboo tree, looking into the distance.

Even Tong Zhong didn't notice when he was bandaging him

Until the little beggar came back in a hurry

Li Yancai hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

The little beggar organized his words and said, "These people are all refugees from Zhangzhou City."

Liu Feng said, "I just left Zhangzhou City less than a week ago. I haven't heard of any natural disasters in Zhangzhou City."

“Why are there so many refugees?”

The little beggar sighed slightly: "This is not a natural disaster, it is a man-made disaster."

"A week ago, Zhangzhou City suddenly issued an order at night to arrest those who had been incorporated into the 19th Route Army."

"Who knew that this news was known to a former company commander of the 19th Route Army?"

"Then he led his men to resist."

"A fierce battle broke out between the two sides, and only a few people escaped."

"The next day, patriotic students launched a march, raising slogans such as releasing the anti-Japanese heroes of the 19th Route Army, stopping the civil war, and uniting to resist Japan."

"At first, Zhangzhou City only sent police to maintain order."

"Less than three days"

"Merchants in Zhangzhou City went on strike, workers went on strike, and ordinary people joined in by the thousands."

"Not only that, they also stormed into the Japanese residential area and smashed, burned and looted everything."

"The protest march once developed to an uncontrollable level"

"The Japanese consulate could no longer sit still and began to put increasing pressure on the Nationalist government."

"It was also proposed that if the Chinese government could not control the demonstrations..."

"The Japanese government does not mind transferring troops from Taiwan to protect the safety of their expatriates."

"The Zhangzhou government then recklessly dispatched troops and brazenly opened fire to suppress the demonstration."

"Thousands of civilians were killed and injured"

"Frenzied arrests began in the city."

“These are people who were forced to flee.”

After hearing what the little beggar said, Li Yan exuded a murderous intent.

Everyone was silent

"A tiny country like Japan actually made these Kuomintang leaders surrender so much."

“These people deserve to die.”
