"Hi! When it comes to the sufferings that the people under this book have suffered, don't mention them. They are worse than before. I'll just tell you briefly, it may be of some use to you."

"Please tell me!" Ma Qian'an nodded, his expression became focused. At the same time, he honestly and unceremoniously "searched" a new notebook from the corner of the straw shed, and found a pen from Ma Zhanshan's top pocket.

What are the old man’s clothes? Who doesn’t know that you are always illiterate and still have a pen in your hand? It’s my turn!

Ma Zhanshan stroked his bald head again with anger.

Most of the more than 100,000 people in Xing'an East Province were Guanli people who came to Guandong. In the early years, the government rule was weak. When people who came to Guandong came to the Northeast to find a place to settle down, they rarely had any specific goals. They would settle down wherever they fell. They had sweat beads and had their butts stuck out and opened up land. As long as they were willing to put in their efforts, the fertile land in the Northeast did not fool people, the strength they planted really grew gold. In a few years, the wasteland became mature land, and the grain they had harvested was full of food, and they could not finish eating it.

The Mongolians who used to live here nomadic people, eat sheep, drink and drink, can live a life of life, at least people living on this land do not have to worry about food.

But since he came to the Northeast and rode on the Chinese, everything has changed, and the people's lives have become poorer and poorer. Especially in recent years, in order to maintain his huge war expenses, he has become more and more aggressive in exploiting the people. The people's living standards have gradually declined from food and clothing to poverty. Even the living standards of small and medium-sized landlords have plummeted, and they have since been rich to food and clothing.

The main means and government orders for me to exploit the people are:

1. Forced recruitment. All young and strong men over 20 years old must serve in the military. Recruitment agencies are stationed in all banners and counties. Every year, a large number of young and middle-aged people join the army to serve the pseudo-government. About two-thirds of young and strong men who failed the physical examination were called "national soldiers" and could not go home. They were organized into various "hard-working teams" to work voluntarily for three years in various mines, bridges, and highways. This alone has caused countless families to lose their labor force and their production and life have been greatly affected.

2. Implement the Rule Law. Under the manipulation of the R colonists, the "Manchukuo" promulgated various rule laws such as the "Trade Rule Law", the "Animal Trading Market Law", the "Salt Match Monopoly Law", and the "Commercial Law" to implement unified purchase and control of various agricultural and animal husbandry products such as wheat, cotton, leather, meat and oil. No one is allowed to buy and sell ruling goods privately. Violators are deemed to be considered economic criminals. Merchants from all over the country have to hide their inventory and the chain of goods to operate.

The son was interrupted. Most of the industries such as bank pawnshops, catering hotels, medicinal and grocery stores, and grain were closed down, and there were many unemployed people. Rural and pastoral areas were even more difficult, and even one foot of cloth or a box of matches could not be bought. Speculators with backgrounds took the opportunity to hoard prices and secretly sell them for huge profits. Unlawful merchants secretly colluded with the police. The limited amount of goods rationed by the Japanese and puppet authorities on schedule were peeled layer by layer by layer by layer by layer by layer by police and puppet staff, and there were very few left at the grassroots level.

3. Domestic agricultural and animal husbandry products are produced. The Japanese puppet authorities force farmers and herdsmen to "dog" agricultural and animal husbandry products. The meaning of lotus is to force farmers and herdsmen to sell products at a low price. In pastoral areas, they generally have to buy 30% of cattle, horses and sheep. In farm areas, they generally have to buy about 50% of the food. The price is very low and it is far from being able to compensate for production costs. The more farmers and herdsmen produce, the greater the losses. However, if they fight by growing less food and raising less livestock, they will be cruelly suppressed by the military and police. Instead, they will plunder the last bit of food, and the family will struggle on the brink of death. After the tenant has released lotus, they will have to pay rent. The remaining grain is not enough to maintain the whole family for one year. They can only live with wild vegetable bran or borrow usury donkeys to roll around and will never be paid off, and they have become the actual slave class.

4. Forcing opium to grow, the pseudo-Manchukuo formulated the "Manchurian Empire Opium Law" to force the people to grow and set up an opium monopoly office. Whenever the cigarette is sold later, the Tobacco Administration Department will send people to the countryside to pay the cigarette. If the time limit is paid, it will be severely punished and beaten, and even endanger your life. If you are suspected of hiding big smoke, you will be beaten at the least and kill them at the worst. I force the Chinese to grow opium and encourage the Chinese to smoke opium, but I don’t smoke it. My heart is extremely sinister.

5. In spirit, it is to carry out slave education, instill in students with "good friendship between Japan and China", "respect the Japanese Emperor", etc., and instill in the idea of ​​anti-subordination, anti-Soviet and pro-Japanese pro-Japanese. On the one hand, it uses the Mongolian upper class to continue to rule the Mongolian people, and on the other hand, it has ulterior motives to sow the relationship between the Mongolians and other ethnic groups, especially the relationship with the Han people, in order to achieve the goal of reaping the benefits of fishermen.

Ma Qian'an quickly recorded the information while listening. After summarizing and summarizing the information by Bao Yunwei, he said it concisely.

To hit the nail on the head is a rare overview of people's livelihood in Xing'andong Province, which can be used as a powerful reference document when formulating strategic goals.

Bao Yunwei's story came to an end. Seeing that Ma Qian'an still had hopeful eyes, he knew that he had not heard enough, but his time was tight and he had to say in a simple manner, "General Ma, I will sort out more detailed things after I go back. What else do you have to ask for now? Look at the time..."

"Oh? I understand!" Ma Qian'an woke up, and he couldn't always hold others back, right? There is still something wrong with them.

"Okay Uncle Bao, then I'm not polite." Ma Qian'an opened a new page on the notebook, and quickly scratched something on it while making a request. "I need information from Hailar Fortress, the more detailed the better." Looking at Bao Yunwei's confused eyes, Ma Qian'an ignored his expression and continued: "I know this fortress is not in Xing'an East Province, but you can provide some things. It is not very far from us, and you cannot know it at all."

Bao Yunwei nodded a little heavy, "I know one thing. When I was not the governor, I passed by Hailar. I heard from local officials that tens of thousands of workers died in order to build this fortress, and they were all killed by R himself."

It’s not tens of thousands, my uncle Bao, but a total of 130,000 workers. Of course Ma Qian'an knew this number. He hated this fortress soaked in the blood of the Chinese.

"What can I do? I have limited knowledge. When I go back, I will send someone to send this part of the information." Bao Yunwei did not know the specific situation of this secret fortress, and hesitated.

Ma Qian'an thought about it and realized that this was a bit difficult. "Then it happens. You always collect some of the situations of R who participated in the construction of this fortress, and provide me with their end points. I'll capture them to solve the problem."

"When doing this, you should be careful." Ma Qian'an then added that according to later generations, he kept this fortress absolutely confidential. In addition to the Chinese workers being killed, those who participated in the construction were also scattered everywhere afterwards, which was extremely difficult to find. He attaches great importance to this fortress so much. If someone asks about the whereabouts of the engineers, wouldn't he think he has a long life?

Bao Yunwei smiled, "Don't worry, Xiaoma, I've been in this industry for more than a year or two. If I want to catch my feet, I'm afraid I have to have a few heads."

"Hey, I love to listen to these words!" Ma Zhanshan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly praised, "Jiang is still so spicy, Lao Bao is much more cautious than you, a furry child, and can you remind me?"

Ma Qian'an rolled his eyes at Ma Zhanshan.

After explaining the contact information, radio call sign and password and other technical data, Ma Qian'an made a summary speech.

"In short, our purpose in Xing'andong Province is to take the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party as the center, unite people of all ethnic groups, democratic parties, love teams, patriots of all classes, and overseas Chinese to form a national united front for the anti-Japanese war. Under this banner, each of us must unite and start a vigorous national revolutionary war, and ultimately expel Japanese and return my country!"

Ma Qian'an continued enthusiastically: "The specific thing is that Uncle Bao provides timely and effective intelligence, secretly providing all the dynamics of the Japanese and puppet economy, military and political situations. We will send Mongolian soldiers to you in various identities to assist you and protect you, and at the same time establish a more effective intelligence network. During the free stage of Commander Ma Zhanshan, he must contact the enemy and puppet upper class, use your central identity and the old Northeast Army to fight for the enemy and puppet upper class. I will lead the soldiers to fight against the Japanese and puppetary economy and establish our local grassroots regime, so that the spark of resistance will burn inside and outside the Xing'an Mountains!"

Ma Zhanshan looked at Ma Qian'an, who was full of energy and was "angry" reminded: "Little bastard, I am the commander! I'm not dead yet, where is your turn to issue orders?"

Bao Yunwei was listening to Ma Qian'an's explanation of specific policies and strategies, and when he heard that he was nodding, he couldn't help but be very interested. In his opinion, Xiaoma did have some hairpin and nodding, and I wonder how this family dealt with this problem.

Ma Qian'an spread his hands indifferently and said, "Okay, okay! Listen to you, what are your opinions?"

Ma Zhanshan touched the mustache on his upper lip, pondered for a while, and finally said helplessly: "You have told me all the words, what else can I have? Just do what you said!"

Oh? Huh? Hahaha... The three of them looked at each other and laughed loudly.

"My nephew is still very powerful." Ma Zhanshan explained to Bao Yunwei embarrassedly: "Chairman Jiang wrote me again and asked me to propose marriage to him. His niece was begging for nothing and wanted to make friends with my nephew. It really gave me a headache."

Bao Yunwei looked at Ma Zhanshan's proud face and thought to himself, "Where did you see a headache?" Isn't this a disguised praise on General Ma? It's not easy to "expose" the old man's true thoughts, so it's very hard to endure laughter.

It’s really a pot that doesn’t open. Ma Qian’an shook his head left and right, dodging Bao Yunwei’s inquiring gaze.

"General Pony hasn't married yet?"

"No, it's almost there, oh no, a real man has been in his life, why should the Huns be destroyed before they were destroyed? Many soldiers in our Anti-Japanese Allied Forces are bachelors. How could I take the lead in marrying a wife during the war? In ancient times, when I was going to be beheaded for the bride, I was silenced." After a long time of silence, Ma Qian'an finally found a reason for himself.

"I admire you!" Bao Yunwei felt a little awe-inspiring, stood up and beat Ma Qian'an up, which made Ma Qian'an feel embarrassed. What's this? I'm talking nonsense.

Ma Zhanshan quietly sent Bao Yunwei away, returned to his thatched hut and found that Ma Qian'an was still writing hard. Then he stretched out his hand and said, "You guy dares to steal my pen? This is given to me by your Mr. Mao. I still have to write with it, and I will give it back to me!"

What? Ma Qian'an raised his face in surprise, "Writing? Are you always literate?"

What? It was Ma Zhanshan's turn this time and was surprised. "What did the bastard say? I could write ten years ago. The four big words "Return my rivers and mountains" I wrote were published in the newspaper. Even Hu Hanmin said that I wrote well. Do you dare to say that I can't read?"

Hu Hanmin was a veteran of the Kuomintang and one of the four major calligraphers at that time. Unfortunately, he had passed away in 36 years.

Afraid that Ma Qian'an didn't believe it, Ma Zhanshan snatched the pen and wrote the four pens in his notebook, "Returning My Rivers and Mountains" in his notebook. It was really quite charming. Ma Qian'an opened his eyes wide in surprise. Oh, I broke Baidu and lied to others. Didn't it mean that Ma Zhanshan could not read? How could he write "Returning My Rivers and Mountains" like a steel bar and iron.

Ma Zhanshan took Ma Qian'an's surprise and put the pen in his pocket, and asked with a smile: "I said, boy, have you replied this time?"

Ma Qian'an nodded.

"I said, boy, what did the Huns just now mean to be true? Then isn't your family going to wither? Isn't it true that your family will wither? I said that unfiliality is the three no queens, and isn't the girl from the wealthy family renowned you? Do you have any photos? I'll take a look."

"No, what photos are you looking at? Everyone is here."

Oh? Ma Zhanshan's eyes lit up, "I have to see, let's check it out for you."

Huh? The old man's eyes are so bright? Ma Qian'an looked at Ma Zhanshan suspiciously and wondered, what is the old man thinking? Didn't he force me to get married?

Ma Zhanshan suddenly asked a little hesitantly: "Who does the little flower look like? Are there more wealth or more Ruping?"

Ma Qian'an asked strangely: "Who is Ruping?"

"It's Xiaohua's mother, you don't know this? Oh no wonder this is her nickname." Ma Zhanshan's eyes floated slanted, and he did not avoid the gaze of Ma Qian'an who was carefully observing him.

Xiaohua's mother is Aunt Zhang. How do I know her name? Alas? There is a story!

"I don't know!" Ma Qian'an suppressed his smile and turned his head, afraid that he would laugh out loud when he looked at Ma Zhanshan's embarrassing face again.
