Chapter 17 Announcement of the Fourth Army Command of the Red Army[1]

(January 1929) The purpose of the Red Army, the civil rights revolution, the first army in western Jiangxi, has a far-reaching reputation. This time, the plan is to divide the troops and advance, and the officers will assist the soldiers and obey the orders. Buying at a fair price and selling at a fair price is evidenced by the fact that indiscriminate burning and killing must be banned everywhere. All over the country, the oppression is too severe, and the workers and peasants are suffering very much. The local tyrants and evil gentry ran rampant in the villages and towns, paying heavy rents and rents, and everyone resented them.

Soldiers of the White Army, hungry and cold, petty bourgeois, heavy taxes and levies. The more foreign goods there are, the more domestic products are trapped. Who doesn't hate imperialism? The Kuomintang bandit party is completely reactionary, duplicity, and cannot be tough. Jiang Gui, Feng Yan[2] share the same bed with different dreams, the conflict has started, and the warlord is out of luck. Food can satisfy hunger, medicine can cure disease, the Communist Party advocates, and it is extremely fair. Landlords own the fields, farmers harvest the seeds, don’t pay back the debts, don’t give away the rent.

The increase in wages, the boss's role, and the eight hours of work are just right. The treatment of the army needs to be revised urgently, and it is distributed to the fields, and the soldiers have a share. Enemy officers and soldiers are allowed to surrender, and they don't need to ask about their previous behavior. The progressive tax law is the most applicable, exorbitant taxes and exorbitant taxes will be swept away. City merchants accumulate baht and inch, as long as they obey, they don't care about the rest. To treat outsiders, must be strict, factories and banks, confiscated and merged.

Foreign capital and foreign debts are not recognized, and foreign soldiers and ships are not allowed to enter. Everyone is happy to overthrow the great powers, overthrow the warlords, and eliminate all evil. The unification of China is celebrated by the whole country, Manchuria and Mongolia return to Tibet, and the regulations are determined by themselves. The Nationalist Government and a group of villains worked together to eradicate and eradicate the chaos. Workers and peasants all over the country are furiously seized power, and the deadline is approaching. The success of the revolution depends on the people, and the four directions are announced, and everyone works hard.
