The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

The village was in ruins in the eyes of the revolutionary army, and Ma En sighed, "When I traveled before, I traveled around the Kingdom of Flowers.

This village had not become like this when I came here last time. I didn't expect that it would be so devastated when I came back after such a long absence.

Let's go, I'll take you to find the village chief first."

Then everyone came to the home of the village chief of Dashi Village, only to find that the village chief's home was not much better than that of ordinary villagers. The village chief was an old man with dark skin, thin and short stature.

Ma En walked up to the village chief. It seemed that the village chief was a little hard of hearing, so Ma En gestured and shouted, "Village chief, I am Ma En, long time no see!"

The village chief seemed to understand. "Oh, it's Ma En. You are such a good man. I remember you helped the villagers with farm work when you came last time."

The two began to reminisce about the past, and at this point, Ma En began to make his intention clear. "Village leader, the situation in the village doesn't look good right now."

The village chief sighed, "There is nothing left in the village. All valuables, even food, have been taken away. There are only some rice seeds left, and everyone wants to save some.

The young people all ran to the towns to beg the nobles for some food support so that we can survive from farming to harvest.

The world is too difficult, and as the village chief, I am powerless and can only let everyone go out to make a living."

Ma En raised his eyebrows when he heard this, then shook the village chief's dry and rough hand, "Village chief, we are here to help you. Don't worry about food, we brought food with us.

If you have any difficulties, please feel free to contact us and we will help you solve them.”

The village chief was overjoyed when he heard this. "Are there a lot of food? Thank you so much, Mr. Maen."

Ma En was a little ashamed. "We are sorry for coming so late, and sorry for the people who are suffering here."

Then he turned to his comrades in the revolutionary army and said, "Let's go cook first and then gather all the villagers together so that everyone can have a good meal tonight."

Ma En then said to the village chief, "Don't worry, village chief, we revolutionaries will take care of the farming."

At night, the revolutionaries and the villagers ate together in the canteen. The villagers had a rare full meal and were very grateful to the revolutionaries.

After cleaning up, Maan called everyone together for a meeting.

Marx and Engels said to the crowd, "We are making revolution not because the people need us, but because we need the people.

It can also be said that it is the people who gave birth to us. When we carry out our work here, we must never put ourselves above the interests of the people, but rather we should help the people do whatever they need.

When we understand the masses and integrate with them, we can formally establish bases, unite our comrades among the masses, draw them into our revolutionary ranks, and establish more reserve forces.

The next day, with Ma En's advance instructions the night before, everyone quickly and orderly went to help the villagers with their farm work and repairing their houses.

In his spare time, he would gather the villagers together to give lectures, and in the evening everyone would eat in the large canteen opened by the revolutionaries.

In the next few days, the revolutionaries quickly integrated with the villagers. During this time, the revolutionaries have been helping the villagers do everything they can.

Even at the strong request of Marx and Engels, everyone united together to build a school so that the children in the village could receive education.

With Marx and Engels' strong exaggeration of the benefits of education, they also received strong support from the village chief.

The villagers had no objection to this, and everyone contributed manpower and effort to build the first school in the village.

At this time, most of the young villagers who had gone to the city to seek relief had returned. The young people who came back were surprised to see that the village had not only not deteriorated but was full of vitality.

After learning from their families what had happened in the village during this period, they all came to the revolutionary party’s headquarters to thank Marx and Engels together.

Ma En also came out to meet everyone and find out what new information the young villagers had about their visit to the town.

Then according to the young people, when they went to the town this time, the kingdom had no food to give them. They only begged a little food from a few kind merchants on the street, but the quantity was not enough.

We were all going to work together to get the food back first, and then figure out other things later.

But before returning, the village chief's son said he could get food, so he stayed in the town with several young villagers, and the others returned first.

Hearing the young villagers talking about the information in the town, Marn sighed. The nobles were indeed unwilling to give up their own interests.

If he and the revolutionaries had not come to Roland Island, I don't know how many people would have starved to death. There is no room for compromise between the proletariat and the exploiting class.

So in the following days, members of the Revolutionary Party continued to implement Marx and Engels' principles, and while helping to unite the villagers, they also vigorously promoted education for the people.

Taking into account the daily life of the villagers, various propaganda methods including folk songs and proverbs were utilized.

As time went by, the villagers got to know the revolutionary party better and better. Many young people in the village even came to Ma En and asked to join the revolutionary party.

Under Marx and Engels' plan, the establishment of the base area reached the second step. With the mass base, the revolutionary army was formally established, but in view of the lack of military experience, a reserve army was temporarily formed.

With the strong promotion of the revolutionary party and the support of the villagers, the Dashi Village reserve army was quickly formed, and the revolutionary party's control over the village became unbreakable.

After the situation in Dashi Village stabilized, Ma En went to look for the village chief again, wanting the village chief to act as an intermediary to contact several other villages around Dashi Village and allow the revolutionaries to develop revolutionary forces in other villages.

As a result, Ma En met the village chief on the road. It turned out that the village chief had the same idea. The villages had always had close contacts with each other. After his own village gradually got out of the crisis and became better, the village chief, a simple citizen, still could not forget his old friends from other surrounding villages.

So they wanted to ask Marx and Engels' revolutionary army to send people to other villages to provide relief.

This was exactly the same as Marne's plan, so Marne ordered Crow and Gus to form two teams, with a small number of party members as the elite and a large number of reserve troops as the backbone, to spread north and south along the Aya Mountains and bring all the villages in the north and south under the influence of the revolutionary party.

Before leaving, Crow and Gus assured Marne, "Don't worry, Mr. Marne. We have learned a lot during this period and will never bring shame to our revolutionary army.

Besides, we have other comrades with us, and if we unite, no difficulties can stop us."

Ma En looked at the team about to set off with satisfaction and said, "Everyone just go ahead and do it, I will arrange for other people to deliver the supplies.

But everyone must remember that our principle is to serve the people.

As long as we can do this, victory will surely belong to us!"
