Chapters 11 and 12 of Notes on Bailuyuan.

The "crow soldiers" swept into Bailuyuan. After the commander surrendered to the county magistrate, he threatened to use the township general Tian Fuxian.

Bai Jiaxuan began to call a spade a spade, and the commander pointed a gun at him and refused to surrender. Finally, he was forced by the commander to knock gongs and call everyone to pay the imperial grain.

Shortly after the commander and his party finished the shooting (chicken) competition, Bailu Cang was already full of food.

Heiwa also began to worry about goslings, worried that crow soldiers would spoil women and goslings in the back, as people said.

Later, I found Heiwa. After talking for a few words, they decided to burn the granary together. Soon they found Han Tailor, and the three decided to do this magnificent event together.

After the three conspired to burn down the granary, they poured kerosene on the granary at night while the guards were not paying attention, and the fire immediately ignited, and the whole Bailuyuan ignited a crimson flame.

Afterwards, the crow soldiers used the slogan "White Wolf who set fire to the grain table" on the four walls of the security office to search from house to house for anyone with red paint engraved with the slogan, but there was no result.

Bai Jiaxuan and Bai Xiaowen were arrested for no reason and were forced to leave handwriting. In the end, the two sides argued endlessly.

After the granary was burned, the crow soldiers were ready to levy grain again, and they were also levied as one bucket per mu. The commander issued a military order and said that those who violated the order would be dealt with according to the "white wolf".

Two days later, it was rumored that three "white wolves" tied with various flowers were dying, and they were all shot by crow soldiers. Later, I learned that they were three beggars in the original village.

Feeling:

Revolutions are always repeated. After all, these troubled times need to be watered by fresh blood and transformed into new seeds. Heiwa and Lu are the first batch of fresh blood. Their bravery will eventually push that chaotic era to the balance of progress.

Chapter 12 Summary

Mr. Zhu decided to resign and leave Bailu Academy, but under the sincere retention of Peng, the county magistrate, Mr. Zhu was determined to leave.

After leaving Bailu Academy, Mr. Zhu began to rebuild the county annals with his disciples and his literary friends.

During this period, the crow soldiers still collected a lot of food from the people as usual, and the county magistrate Peng could only be dissatisfied with it, but he could do nothing about it and was ashamed to meet the sages and talents.

Mr. Zhu sighed, told him to bear it first, and wrote four words: a good man is hard to live. Peng county magistrate can only vent his nagging. The next day, Mr. Zhu heard the news that Peng County had fled because he could not bear it.

In the dog days, Mr. Zhu received the news that the "White Wolf" (crow soldier represented by Wei Liu) was coming to Bailuyuan, and asked the scholar to prepare two vicious dogs, and asked the chef to prepare a strange and unreasonable stewed tofu to entertain the White Wolf.

During this period, Liu and Mr. Zhu talked about the revision of county annals and Liu Zhiwei, and made a metaphor with stewed tofu. Mr. Zhu predicted that Liu's siege failed, and it really came true.

After Liu's defeat, the villagers' resentment flooded instantly, sighing and holding a grudge against what the White Wolf had done.

At this time, Tian Fuxian led the people to appease and take care of the people who were burned and looted by deserters, and also repaired the burned houses together. This move attracted the strong support of the village name, and everyone expressed their gratitude and respect to Tian Fuxian.

On the other hand, shortly after the crow soldiers had just been defeated and fled, Bai Jiaxuan went to the city anxiously to find his daughter Lingling.

Cao Xian and Bai Zhao cried their eyes out. They were worried that the ghost would be killed by the crow soldiers. Behind Bai Jiaxuan personally ran to the city, only to know that Spirit was going to the city to carry the dead and bury the dead.

Bai Jiaxuan also found that Bai Ling was with Lu, and Bai Ling refused to go back, which made Jia Xuan very angry.

Both Bai Ling and Lu are revolutionary comrades, and they also agreed to join the Party together. At that time, their minds were quite closed, and they were only full of blood, so they agreed to join the party with copper coins. As a result, Bai Ling joined the Kuomintang and Lu joined the * * * production party. And copper coins have naturally become a "witness" for them to join the party.

Bailuyuan Bailuyuan was rebuilt by everyone's Qi Xin. Tian Fuxian was publicly praised, and he was also appointed as the secretary of Bailuyuan branch. Comrade Lu was appointed as a member of Bailuyuan Branch, * * * party member and Kuomintang party member.

The villagers had a heated discussion about it, and most of what they heard was a bad impression. Lu's personal explanation later changed the villagers' views on the * * * production party.

When Mr. Zhu visited his mother-in-law, Bai Jiaxuan also discussed with him the production party. He didn't understand and joined the * * * production party and the Kuomintang. Mr. Zhu did not explain this too much.

Heiwa also heard the news that Lu joined the party, and the two chatted happily. Lu also recommended Heiwa to participate in the "Nongjiangsuo". After earnestly pleading, Heiwa finally agreed.

But this friend caused a great response in Bailuyuan. Everyone was talking about "How can a black baby who brought a runaway woman home do this?" To this end, Tian Fuxian also specifically persuaded Lu not to find Heiwa to participate in the "Nongjiangsuo".

Lu "persuaded" Tian Fuxian, and Heiwa finally went to the "Nongjiangsuo". After Heiwa returned to the village, it caused a heated discussion among the villagers.

Feeling:

The course of revolution is always bumpy, especially people's thoughts. Mr. Zhu is no longer limited to teaching, but by going up one flight of stairs: revising the county annals; Lu, Lu and Bai Ling took the lead in joining the Party, and Heiwa also participated in the "Nongjiangsuo" under the persuasion of Lu. Although there are so many advanced representatives, the villagers' thoughts are still crawling like snails, and the process is slow, especially the gap between Bai Jiaxuan and Bailu is widening.
