1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Before Li Yanlu could figure out the whole story, Fujiwara Kanezane started to introduce what happened today, and then asked with a smile:

"...Commander Wang, Li Zhenglu, you were once his superiors. Tell us, how should we handle this assassination attempt?"

The room fell into deathly silence.

Anyone who is not stupid can understand the sinister intention behind this sentence:

Let former companions decide the fate of former companions, and thus completely divide them.

In other words, a token of allegiance.

The Dai family naturally glared at Fujiwara Kanezane;

Dong Zhujun and Tao Xingzhi also pursed their lips and said nothing; Wang Delin trembled twice and knelt down without hesitation: "Your Highness Fujiwara! Please spare their lives! I am willing to surrender!" Huh?

The Dai family looked at their former leader in astonishment. So he hadn't surrendered yet?

Why didn't the Japanese...

A trace of barely perceptible pain and hatred flashed across Li Yanlu's eyes. The muscles on his face twisted slightly for a moment, and then he hid all his emotions deep in his heart and said decisively:

"A country has its own laws! A family has its own rules! Since they have made a mistake, Your Highness, please punish them according to the law! Kill them if necessary!"

"

This time, everyone's focus shifted from Fujiwara Kanezane to Li Yanlu. Dai Kezheng, the youngest son of the Dai family, cursed directly:

"Shameless! Traitor! Bastard! Even if I turn into a ghost, I won't let you, a communist, go... Ouch! Dad, why are you bullying me again???"

"From now on, if you say another word, even if you go to hell, I will beat you to death again."

After Mr. Dai once again fully demonstrated his fatherly love, he bowed to Fujiwara Kanezane with dignity:

"Your Highness, I will kill you or chop you up, as you wish. Please do not embarrass my brothers."

"Then cut it!" "Huh?"

"shoot!"

Lu Xun, who had been watching the show, finally couldn't hold back and slapped Fujiwara Kanezane on the back:

"Have you had enough fun? If you don't want to kill people, then don't kill them. Is it fun to play with them?"

"Of course it's fun. If it's not fun, why would I play it?"

Fujiwara Kanezane rolled his eyes, looked at Dai Wanling, and then hooked his finger at Lu Xun behind him:

"Mr. Dai, I've said this publicly long ago. If you want to assassinate someone, come and assassinate me. Why would you kill him? He's worthless, and there's no benefit in killing him."

"Vine!"

"Xun'er, shut up first. Let's talk about it when we get home... Anyway, Mr. Dai, I can let everyone in your family go, but the prerequisite is that you live peacefully as ordinary people and stop joining anti-Japanese organizations and engaging in assassinations like this."

"I apologize to you and Mr. Lu Xun for my son's personal foolish behavior."

Knowing that his son had only done this on impulse, Dai Wanling bowed again, then straightened his back and said proudly:

"But we will never surrender. You Japanese have a deep hatred for my Dai family. Even if my ancestral graves are dug up and my entire family is killed, I, Dai Wanling, will never surrender!"

"Tsk tsk, little old man, don't be so confident. Be careful, it will smell really good later..."

Fujiwara Kanezane clapped his hands with a smile, the door of the room opened again, and several more people were brought in like a buffet.

But their appearance made Dai Wanling, who had remained calm until then, open his eyes wide and could not speak clearly:

"Wanchun! Wanzhu! Wanfa! Kejian! Keji! Kezhi...you...you..."

Weren't you captured and killed by the Japanese? How...how are you still alive?

Even Dai Wansheng, the cousin who had stayed behind in the Dai family's old house and was said to have been captured and tortured to death by the Japanese, came!

And judging from the looks of it, just like Wang Delin, he has never been punished at all!

This this...

Dai Wanling looked at Fujiwara Kanezane in disbelief, and the latter tilted his head:

"Luckily, Boss Dong's room is quite big, otherwise there wouldn't be enough space for so many people!"

"Your Highness, you...you didn't kill them?"

"Why would I kill them? They haven't offended me, and I'm not some psychopath who enjoys killing people."

What is perversion?

You don't like killing people, but you've made the landlords in the entire Northeast roll their heads in anger? They haven't offended you, have they?

Dai Wanling smiled bitterly:

"Your Highness, I really don't understand what you are trying to do. You clearly hate us landlords so much..."

"You don't understand because you are a landlord and you don't understand the hardships of the peasants..." "No, Your Highness, I was also..."

"I admit that you're a decent landlord, even working the land yourself, but do you dare to say with all your heart that every penny your Dai family earns and every piece of land they acquire is spotless? Weren't they all obtained by exploiting others?"

Dai Wanling was silent.

How can he guarantee that?

It is impossible for a good person to survive and grow in the Northeast.

There are many bodies buried under the pine trees behind Daijia Laoshan. But...

"But, Your Highness, dozens of us in the Dai family have lived in Northeast China for decades. We can't say we haven't done anything illegal, but we definitely haven't actively done anything evil..."

"I know, but this is your Dai family. Among ten thousand landlords, you may be the only Dai family. Do you think the people in other places will support me or you landlords?"

Dai Wanling fell silent again.

He might have said something like "Except for traitors, which Chinese doesn't support the Chinese?" in the past, but now he has understood that the answer is not as simple as he thought.

Earlier this year, Wang Delin and Li Yanlu decided to "surrender" the women, children, and the elderly. Dai Wanling firmly opposed this, but because he could no longer fight, he took all the supplies and led the adult men of the Dai family into hiding in the mountains.

In the cold winter, even if Fujiwara no Kanezane hadn't ordered a blockade, their supplies wouldn't have lasted a few days. So Dai Wanling sent several of his brothers and sons back to his hometown to gather food.

As a result, I encountered an unimaginable failure!

The fellow villagers of Dunhua Shahe, who had been inspired by him and had sent people to follow him in the uprising against the Japanese invaders, were no longer willing to help him!

Not only did they close the door and refuse to meet with him, but some were even shameless enough to inform the local authorities, leading to the arrest of most of the Dai family members sent by Dai Wanling!

As a result, the other men in the Dai family could no longer hold on, and they dared not return home. They could only disperse and go to various places in the Northeast to find work and hide, waiting for the opportunity.

Fortunately, the identity card system in the entire Northeast has not yet been fully established, otherwise these people would not even have the opportunity to be illegal residents or work illegally.

Before this incident, Dai Wanling had always believed that the National Salvation Army could not raise food and supplies because they were in a "foreign land" and were under severe pressure from the Japanese.

Now that his fellow villagers had betrayed him, he finally realized something was wrong and began to study Fujiwara no Kanezane and his policies;

Then he realized that his defeat was not unfair.

The Dai family's land was indeed confiscated, but it was not forcibly occupied by the Japanese. Instead, they first "nationalized" it and then distributed it all to the local people under the name of "land use rights"!

Fujiwara no Kanezane ordered the collection of unbelievably low agricultural taxes. Local governments also helped villages build canals and roads free of charge, distributed relief food, and cracked down on corrupt officials and hooligans who bullied the people!

In comparison, the things he, known as "the most kind-hearted landlord in the Northeast," did during disaster years, such as "reducing rent and interest," "donating generously," and "helping fellow villagers," were simply not worth mentioning.

Even if the price is the same, the common people know clearly which is more cost-effective and long-term: renting land from landlords or renting land from the state.

Dai Wanling was a good landlord, but what happened after he left?

This is just their Dai family, the Dai family that has done a lot of good deeds. What about other landlords? Anyway, Dai Wanling himself knows that what some landlords near Dunhua have done is not much better than what the Japanese did in the past.

Putting aside the enemy and friend positions, the more Dai Wanling studied Fujiwara no Kanezane, the more he admired this man's policies and vision, and the more he couldn't help but respect him.

If the other person was a Chinese, he would not hesitate and do his best to respect him as orthodoxy, because he had never seen a ruler who was so good to ordinary people.

If the Qing emperor who ruled China at that time was Fujiwara no Kanezane, why would his family have left their homeland, traveled all the way, and risked their lives to cross the Guandong Pass?

"Mr. Dai, I personally admire you and your family for what they have done, but ultimately, landlords are landlords. Regardless of whether you love your country or not, regardless of whether you do good deeds or not, the landlord class carries original sin and should be completely eradicated."

"...Then why don't you kill all of our Dai family?"

"Your Dai family isn't a landlord anymore, and you haven't done anything evil to the common people. Why should I kill you?"

Even if we assassinated Lu Xun, we might even be planning to assassinate you?

As a Japanese, and a noble of the highest rank in Japan, the standard for judging friend and foe is actually "whether it benefits the common people"?

At this moment, Dai Wanling was completely impressed by Fujiwara Kanezane. So what if he was Japanese?

Such a wise ruler, he cannot win the support of the people, who is qualified?

However, just as the residents of Shahe once relied on Dai Wanling, the Northeast can only rely on this Lord Fujiwara.

"Your Highness Fujiwara, I understand." Dai Wanling restrained his expression and said seriously:

"I swear to you that as long as you are in Northeast China, all 63 members of my Dai family will obey the law and will never do anything to displease you again, never..."

"Oh, yes, Mr. Dai."

Fujiwara no Kanezane ignored Dai Wanling's "loyalty" and just smiled:

"What did you say just now? Even if the entire Dai family died, it wouldn't matter."

.

Ouch, it smells so good.

528 The Issue of Agricultural Collectivization in Northeast China

Not to mention how a certain prince ridiculed, how Dai Wanling argued that this was not surrender, how Lu Xun felt helpless, and how the room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

After the matter was settled, the "irrelevant people" were quickly driven out, leaving only Fujiwara no Kanezane, Lu Xun, Dong Zhujun, Tao Xingzhi, Wang Delin, Li Yanlu, and Dai Wanling and his son.

By the way, Xiao Dai was the type who had to stand and serve, so he was not qualified to sit at the table.

Fujiwara Kanezane glanced at a young man who had been fooled for a long time and still refused to accept it, and said to Dai Wanling:

"Mr. Dai." "Your Highness?"

"Regarding the future of your Dai family, I have a small proposal. Would you like to hear it?"

"You say."

"I know the Dai family quite well. Farming and studying are the family tradition. Your moral cultivation, cultural level, and basic abilities are above average. Honestly, it would be a bit of a waste to just go back to farming and become an ordinary farmer..."

Dai Wanling's heart moved.

His foolish son had carried out such an assassination, and he had been prepared to have his entire clan executed, but he had not expected Fujiwara no Kanezane to let them off so easily;

Things have already come to this, and I thought the best outcome would be to return to my hometown and farm honestly. But I didn't expect that from what Fujiwara Kanezane said, he still planned to use them?

How can one be so broad-minded?

How could such a wise ruler be born in a small country like Japan, which was ignorant of justice?

"Actually, recently, the Republic government has been planning a pilot program for agricultural collectivization reform. Ah, agricultural collectivization is..."

Fujiwara no Kanezane briefly introduced the concept of "agricultural collectivization."

Agricultural collectivization, a good thing that has been stigmatized, suppressed, and erased from people's memory by countless people in later generations.

Some say that collectivization, which meant eating from the same pot, severely dampened rural production enthusiasm and constrained productivity, leading to the deaths of tens of millions of people in China during the three years of starvation.

They completely ignored the huge difference between agricultural production conditions in the 1960s and 1970s and those in the 1980s and 1990s, and took the rumors as the truth;

Some say that collectivization was forced labor, and that it was coupled with the "Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside" movement, which wasted a large number of talented people working in the fields and brought unimaginable suffering to countless people.

They completely ignore the hardships endured by the vast majority of farmers for the country's industrialization, which are many times greater than those of these "talented people";

Some say that collectivization is a product of ideology, something socialist countries inadvertently created to demonstrate their "difference" from capitalist countries, and that it is actually worthless.

They completely ignore the fact that typical capitalist countries such as the United States and Britain also have collective farms or similar things, as if they are smarter than anyone else.

In short, agricultural collectivization was a policy that someone wanted to implement when he first decided to take over the Northeast. However, too many other things happened in the meantime, and due to cautious considerations, it has been delayed until now.

In fact, for the Northeast, where agricultural production is mainly based on small-scale peasant economy and basic stability is maintained only with financial support from the Fujiwara family and the United States, agricultural collectivization is really the best choice.

There are many benefits to doing this.

First, the Northeast has vast tracts of flat and fertile black soil. If these lands were left to the small-scale peasant economy to thrive alone, their efficiency would be very low.

Through collectivization, centralized management and efficient utilization of land resources can be achieved, avoiding the problem of land fragmentation under the small peasant economy. Even without other assistance, production can still be increased.

Second, farmers in the small-scale peasant economy are neither able to use advanced machinery, pesticides, and fertilizers on a large scale, nor are they able to withstand the risks of natural and man-made disasters;

By concentrating resources to introduce machinery and advanced technology, production efficiency can be greatly improved. At the same time, concentration can also better resist natural disasters and war risks, ensuring the overall stability of agricultural production in Northeast China.
