It doesn't matter if there are new people or not. If not, just make up a few for him. In short, with these "witnesses", the evidence chain of "Prince Yun colluding with Outer Mongolia" will definitely be more sufficient.

After sending away several assassins, Fujiwara Kanezane turned his attention to the future Eighth Route Army war god who had just been summoned for an interview and was nearly assassinated.

"Your name is Lü Junsheng, right?"

“Yes…yes!”

Meeting a great man like Fujiwara no Kanezane for the first time, the 26-year-old farmer's son Lu Junsheng seemed a little nervous, but Fujiwara no Kanezane didn't mind and walked up to him, patted his strong arm, and exclaimed:

"You are so strong..." "Uh...I..."

"How tall are you? How heavy are you?" "I'm over six feet tall and heavy..."

After all, he had never seen much of the world. Facing this "unconventional leader", Lu Junsheng stammered and could not utter a few complete sentences. The agent beside him answered the question for him:

"Commander, estimated height is approximately 193cm, weight..."

As she spoke, she walked up to Lu Junsheng, stretched out her hands and inserted them under his armpits, gently lifting and lowering them like pinching a chicken, and read out a number:

"84.36 kilograms."

"Hmm... a little too light... I need to gain at least 10-15 kilograms." Fujiwara Kanezane raised his head slightly and looked at Lu Junsheng:

"Have you never had a full meal? Are you interested in joining my army? I guarantee you'll have enough to eat every day."

Lu Junsheng, whose head was buzzing with shock from the agent's move, did not respond immediately. Instead, he stared at the agent for a moment, then stared at Fujiwara Kanezane for a moment, before responding in a rough voice:

"I never beat Commander Xu, so I don't deserve the reward."

"This has nothing to do with rewards or not. I'm attracted to you and want you to join my army. Whether you are worthy or not is up to me."

"Then I want to ask you a few questions, do you want to get involved?"

"Ah...zhong, you say."

"Are you going around Northeast China and Rehe killing landlords? Killing bandits? Killing bullies?"

Lu Junsheng recalled the deeds, names, and legends he had heard on the way here, as well as the "public trial" he had seen after arriving in Ulanqab, and added:

"Just like killing slave owners on this prairie? Do you hate these people?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Then if you agree to a few of my conditions, I will join your army and sell you my life."

"Oh? Tell me about it?"

""

Looking at this scene, everyone around couldn't help but twitch their lips.

The overly powerful Lü Junsheng, who dared to negotiate terms even after being personally recruited by the Northeastern King; the powerful yet approachable Fujiwara no Kanezane; and the seemingly "fragile" maid...

Damn, are these people human?

In every sense.

At least definitely not an ordinary person.

At this moment, the remaining arrogance in Xu Shiyou's heart, who had just arrived, was completely swept away.

If a random maid or a random peasant can possess such martial power, how many hidden powerful beings are there in this world?

Such a hero (or heroine) was convinced to serve Fujiwara no Kanezane, and Fujiwara no Kanezane was so humble. What was he, a mere Shaolin outer sect disciple and Red Army division commander?

pride?

Proud ass!

Thinking of all the boasts he had made in the past, Xu Shiyou felt so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into the ground.

Here, Lu Junsheng didn't know that he had become one of the factors that caused Master Neng's "heart of Taoism to break down". He just thought about it and raised a finger:

"First, I don't bully the Chinese people..."

"Don't worry, no matter if they are Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, or Mongolian... as long as they are on my territory, no one is allowed to bully them. Anyone who does will die."

Before Lu Junsheng finished speaking, Fujiwara Kanezane answered him and turned to the soldiers of the 129th Division around him and shouted:

"Don't you think so?!"

“Yes!! Whoever does it will die!! The benevolent are invincible!!”

The soldiers of the Northeast 129th Division responded proudly, and some Red Army soldiers who heard this conversation couldn't help but shout:

"Three major disciplines and eight points of attention! Don't take a single needle or thread from the masses!!"

Lu Junsheng didn't seem surprised by Fujiwara Kanezane's answer. He seemed relieved and proposed a second condition that sounded a bit outrageous:

"Can you promise to take the... uh... 1... 129th Division south as soon as possible and capture my hometown?"

? ? ?

? ? ?

? ? ?

The whole group of people were stunned.

Good guys!

This guy surnamed Lu looks tall and strong, with a righteous face, but he turns out to be a traitor?

How can we ask for foreign invasion...er...ask the army to attack our own hometown?

Are you so anxious to sell out your country?

But Fujiwara Kanezane just smiled and asked:

"Oh? Why? Do you want me to go over and kill the landlord?"

"Yes! Kill the landlords! Kill the bullies! Kill the bandits! Kill the warlords!"

When this topic was brought up, the honest and simple Lu Junsheng's face suddenly took on a bit of anger:

"You don't know, in Xingtai, there are all these damn things! They..."

Fujiwara no Kanezane knew everything that Lu Junsheng described. This was not only true for his hometown of Xingtai, but also for the entire Jizhong Plain, or in other words, almost all the plains areas in China at this stage.

Like the Northeast Plain, the Jizhong Plain has fertile soil, abundant products, and sufficient labor. With a little cultivation and operation, a huge harvest can be obtained.

But like the Northeast Plain, the land in the Central Hebei Plain is also extremely concentrated (or even more concentrated), and is dotted with large landowners who often own hundreds or even thousands of hectares of land. The feudal clan power in the rural areas is extremely powerful.

In order to ensure that the land under their names is cultivated, to ensure that they can control the personal freedom of farmers and local power, and to ensure their absolute interests, what do you think the landlords will do?

Is it like what some crooked-assed idiots on Bihu described in later generations, that they "treat the peasants with warmth and affection, provide them with food and drink, flatter them in every possible way, and win their hearts"?

fart!

They only know how to use force to crush you to death!

Landlords in the central Hebei region colluded with bandits and bullies, and many of the bandits were even raised by the landlords to suppress peasant uprisings. This was exactly the same as in the Northeast!

Even though Hebei has a strong martial spirit, individual farmers are still unable to fight against the organized (although weak) landlord armed forces. Moreover, because it is a plain with no strategic locations to defend and nowhere to hide, if they cannot win, they will surely die unless they flee.

What's even worse is that the capital region has always been a battleground for military strategists. Various forces take turns to appear on the scene. The top rulers are named Zhang today and Jiang tomorrow. They fight each other and have no time to govern, resulting in the grassroots power being completely controlled by the landlords.

All of this led to the fact that even when the people in central Hebei were oppressed, they did not dare to resist easily. They either lived numbly day after day, or tried every means to escape from their hometown like Lu Junsheng.

"...My parents were incredibly hardworking! I never slacked off at work, but we still couldn't support ourselves! We went hungry nine times out of three days! I had a big appetite, so my family had no other choice. I had to go out and work as a trader at the age of 13!"

Lu Junsheng patted his chest, his eyes reddened:

"So, if you want me to join your army, fine! But I only have two requests: Don't bully the common people! Take me back to my hometown and kill those landlords and bullies! Let us live a good life!"

"Oh? I'm Japanese, aren't you worried?"

"I don't understand all this. I've been traveling all over the country for the past two years, and I've heard you're a good person! Now that I've met you today, I believe you! I believe you can keep my parents and my fellow villagers from starving and freezing to death!"

What about his simple class consciousness...No wonder he later joined the Eighth Route Army.

Fujiwara no Kanezane, who had ruled the Northeast for a year and a half, could fully understand Lu Junsheng's thoughts.

In fact, before the September 918th Incident broke out and Japan completely became inhumane, out of simple emotions, the internal enemies that the people of Northeast China hated most were landlords, bullies and bandits, and the external enemies were the Russians;

Before the outbreak of the "July 77 Incident", the people in Henan and Hebei regions had basically no "foreign enemies" to hate, so they "poured" all their emotions into reactionary forces such as landlords, bandits, warlords, and soldiers.

Lu Junsheng is a typical representative of this mentality.

Who made the daily routine in Jizhong "the soldiers fight, the victorious soldiers burn, kill and loot first, the defeated soldiers wait for the victors to have their fun and then burn, kill and loot again, and after these two waves are gone, the landlords and bandits come out to loot again"?

Even a strong man like Lu Junsheng, when he first worked as a peddler in his hometown, would be robbed once every mile on average. He also had to face all kinds of exorbitant taxes and fees from Mr. Huang. He was forced to leave his hometown because he had no other choice. Not to mention other people.

nation?

Nationality? Government?

None of their business!

They only know that they work diligently, do more and better than anyone else, and work until they are twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, but in the end they still often suffer from hunger and cold, and live in insecurity every day!

Even without the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army coming to "enlighten" them, many ordinary people would understand that it's not because they didn't work hard, but because the overall environment is just too damn bad!

After following Shanxi merchants to the west to Inner Mongolia and witnessing the style of the 129th Division and the character of Fujiwara Kanematsu in Ulanqab, Lu Junsheng naturally wanted to change the "ruler" of his hometown.

Anyway, no one can make the situation worse than it is now. As long as we can keep our position as slaves and cattle instead of being killed every day, that's enough.jpg.

Historically, if the Japanese and puppet troops had not killed his parents and carried out a rampant burning, killing and looting in Xingtai, this "Lü Bu in the Army" might not have joined the Eighth Route Army at all, but would have continued his life of performing arts and doing business, and occasionally sneaking into the lives of warlords and soldiers.

It can even be said that if the initial China strategy of some high-ranking Japanese officials of "allowing soldiers and bandits to burn and kill, lowering people's expectations, accumulating more resentment, and then having the Japanese army come forward to act as the judge" could be realized, it is possible that Lu Junsheng would have gone to serve as a "puppet soldier."

Given his majesty and might and the Japanese people's admiration for the strong, he might even be able to become the "China's Toyotomi Hideyoshi".

(In fact, many of the policies of the protagonist in this book, in addition to coming from the CCP, also came from the ideas of some people in Japan at the time. It was just that the class nature of the Japanese leaders and the execution capabilities of the grassroots made it impossible for them to really implement them.)

From another perspective, it fully demonstrates that historically, the people of the Hebei Plain had "a good revolutionary foundation and high revolutionary enthusiasm." No wonder the Eighth Route Army immediately expanded in number as soon as they arrived.

After hearing Lu Junsheng's accusation, everyone fell silent.

Even though I have heard these things enough times at the "grievance meeting", I still feel depressed when I hear them again.

Especially the CCP cadres.

The 129th Division led by Fujiwara no Kanezane gained recognition from many ordinary people like Lu Junsheng and fully won the hearts of the people, but these things should have been done by them;

Damn bandit Jiang!

If you hadn't insisted on "suppressing the Communists," how could the majority of the CCP's forces have been trapped in central China, leaving the north vulnerable to a once-in-a-millennium "holy king" like Fujiwara no Kanezane?

But you want them to oppose Fujiwara no Kanezane?

impossible!

This is a policy similar to that promulgated by the CPC Central Committee and is good for the people. Their knowledge, beliefs, ideals and conscience do not allow them to oppose it.

Whoever opposes is a traitor to the nation and the people!

Therefore, even if Fujiwara no Kanezane agreed to Ryu Junsheng's request and led his troops to "invade the south" in the future, everyone really didn't know from which angle to criticize him, and they felt very conflicted.

One can only hope that Fujiwara no Kanezane, considering the political implications and the secrecy of military strategy, won't respond on the spot...

However, they also knew in their hearts that this was almost impossible given Fujiwara no Kanezane's temper.

“Hahahahaha…Okay!”

Fujiwara Kanezane laughed loudly, grabbed Lü Junsheng's arm, and looked at the officers and soldiers of the 129th Division around them—even including some of the Red Army soldiers:

"Since you trust me so much, I can't let you down! I promise you, sooner or later, I will lead you to fight to Xingtai, Hebei and Henan! Liberate the people there!"

After hearing this, many people's eyes widened.

Although it wasn't a particularly public occasion, this was the first time since his reign that the renowned and prudent Hachiman-no-miya had formally expressed his ambitions for North China, right?

Could it be that Fujiwara no Kanezane's policies, goals, and style of action are about to undergo a major shift?

Those who understood the political meaning of this passage suddenly became nervous when they thought of the 129th Division being transferred to Inner Mongolia and the so-called "seeking an explanation from the Chinese Communist Party."

This is by no means a small incident!

If Fujiwara no Kanezane makes some big news again, the whole of China will be shaken up again, and the political landscape may be reshuffled!

Putting aside those who were more or less on a mission, the soldiers generally did not want to make things so complicated. After hearing Fujiwara Kanezane's "encouragement", some of them immediately shouted excitedly:

"Cross the Yellow River! Liberate all of North China!"

This slogan sounded very appealing, and soon others started shouting it, which quickly turned into a more radical slogan:

"Cross the Yellow River, cross the Yangtze River, and liberate all of China!" "Go south! Go south! Go south!"
