Chapter 5: Yongxing (5)

Zhou Jincai, who thought that "Wei Dudu didn't let everyone live a good life if he didn't let everyone live a good life", was locked up. After ordering Zhou Jincai to be escorted away, the division commander convened a meeting of personnel at and above the company commander level of the whole division, at which he yelled at a group of brigade commanders, regiment commanders, and battalion commanders, "You have to make an example of people like Zhou Jincai!" Whoever does not listen to the governor will not be spared! ”

was scolded by Zhou Jincai as the person who made a small report, and Zhou Jinguo was of course angry. Seeing the division commander gritting his teeth, Zhou Jinguo became a little uneasy. It is not that the Liberation Army has not killed its own people, and after the military trial of the Liberation Army, the final result of the handling is completely public. Because the Liberation Army had never lost any battles, it was very rare for them to escape on the battlefield, and very few people died of battlefield discipline. More than half of those executed were corrupt elements at all levels in the military, and the rest were mostly executed for inciting regional conflicts and encouraging others to take action, resulting in deaths during group fights.

The soldiers fought to the death on the battlefield, and the comrades-in-arms had to rely on each other. Therefore, the officers and men are very supportive of killing these embezzlers and those who incite others to cause trouble. Eliminating mountaineering and localism is not particularly clear to everyone. But when it comes to driving those guys who are keen to cause trouble out of the army, even if they are unwilling to take the initiative, no one will stop them. As it turned out, after the liquidation of this group, the army was immediately at peace.

Zhou Jinguo, like the vast number of officers and soldiers, welcomed the pleasant environment that emerged after the elimination of all kinds of bastards. But the vicious attitude of the division commander, as well as the response of the brigade commander and the regiment commander, made Zhou Jinguo feel extremely uneasy. Zhou Jincai's attitude of violently attacking Wei Ze, Zhou Jinguo was of course extremely dissatisfied. But this does not mean that Zhou Jinguo has no opinion on the current policy. If it is according to what the division commander said, whoever dares to disobey the governor will not let it go, then life in the army will not be easy. I'm afraid that the comfortable days that I finally got will become even more uncomfortable than before.

"When I sent Zhou Jincai over this time, he shouted and screamed, and I was annoyed for a while, so I slapped him in the mouth a few times." Political Commissar Chen Yaoguang spoke.

After hearing this, the division commander raised his eyebrows. Looking at his appearance, it is probably to say that Zhou Jincai deserved to be beaten. Before the division commander shouted "good fight", the division political commissar hurriedly interjected, "There is a reason for this fight, not as an example!" Seeing that the political commissar of the division didn't want to expand this time, even Zhou Jinguo, who had been wronged, felt a lot better in his heart. What he wants most now is not to make things bigger, but to put them to rest. It's only been a few months since the comfortable days in the army, so don't toss it anymore.

Although the meeting was not long, it was extremely long in Zhou Jinguo's feelings. Listening to those superiors saying words like "severe punishment" and "don't let go", Zhou Jinguo only hoped that this extremely torturous meeting would end quickly.

Before the end of the meeting, the division commander asked all units to strictly check the rebels in the troops. When he returned to the battalion headquarters, Zhou Jinguo immediately discussed with the political commissar what to do. Zhou Jinguo said: "Political commissar, do you say that there are people who are not satisfied, I think there are too many." If that's all it takes, you have to arrest people, I don't think it's right. ”

Political Commissar Chen Yaoguang glared at Zhou Jinguo, "Hearing you say that, I fought Zhou Jin for nothing?" ”

"No, no! That's not what I meant! Zhou Jinguo hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head, "Political commissar, you beat Zhou Jin because he was talking nonsense and saying that I was informing." I can't stand it. But beating him doesn't mean that he should be arrested like this! You say everyone who doesn't want to be the ...... of the landlord"

"I don't want to be a master!" Chen Yaoguang replied unceremoniously, "None of the landlords in our family are good things. Especially after joining the army, I realized how bad they really are. I don't want to be a landlord at all! ”

This is the first time that Zhou Jinguo knows how Chen Yaoguang's firm political stance came about, and he was stunned before he hurriedly said: "Okay!" Yes! Commissar, you don't want to be the lord, you are a good person. But you're a commissar, and they're just soldiers. You said that the battalion commander and his gang didn't think so, but I think it's okay. But what do the warriors think, you can't fight with them! ”

Chen Yaoguang said angrily: "Camp Chief Zhou, why did you charge me first?" When am I going to fight the fighters? ”

Hearing Chen Yaoguang say this, Zhou Jinguo finally breathed a sigh of relief, "If you don't talk about the soldiers, that's it!" ”

Chen Yaoguang snorted, "But we must carry out the policy of dividing land." If the fighters don't understand, we have to make it clear. However, if there are officers and land reform against each other, then they can't be let go! ”

"Okay! Good! Zhou Jinguo agreed. As long as you don't put the fighters in order, this thing will be easy to do. There were few people in Zhou Jinguo's battalion who really opposed land reform, and those people were still soldiers. For officers, Zhou Jinguo is very confident.

In the afternoon of the next day, the division commander convened another meeting. Zhou Jinguo could see that the division commander's face was very ugly. When I was feeling anxious in my heart and didn't know what the division commander was going to ask for, I heard the division commander say depressedly: "The governor has an order, and the issues related to land policy are discussed among the comrades, and these problems must be solved by reasoning. For opponents, no one can be killed. Unless it is openly provoking action against the Liberation Army, and it is only verbally expressing opposition, it should not be caught as much as possible. It should be solved by reasoning and persuasion. ”

Without saying anything, Zhou Jinguo pressed his chest with his hand, and muttered in his heart: "Thank God! Knowing that Zhou Jincai would not die, Zhou Jinguo felt a lot better in his heart. Of course, for Zhou Jincai being arrested, Zhou Jinguo felt that it was completely deserved. Inciting distrust of Governor Wezetu, he deserved to be caught.

"Wei Zedudu is really an immortal, he knows the news so quickly." Although Zhou Jinguo knew about the storage of cable telegraphs, he still liked Wei Ze's sharp reactions.

And Wei Ze, who was particularly admired by his subordinates, was holding a central meeting at this time. As for the issue of land reform, he has always been a little bit more important. The members of the Liberation Committee were all "old revolutionaries", because they were born from ordinary peasants, and they were very supportive of land reform. At least none of them opposed the land reform. After receiving the telegram, Weeser found that the events in the Fourth Army were a bit beyond imagination. So Wei Ze sent Shen Xin to the Fourth Army to solve the problem. Weser himself held a meeting and carefully touched the bottom of the upper echelons.

"We have no problem with land reform." The members of the Central Committee expressed one after another.

"That is to say, no one wants to be a lord and a blessing?" Weser asked with a smile.

"We know that we just want to do this, and you won't agree to it. If you don't agree, we won't want to. Commerce Minister Levi's replied with a particularly crisp answer. This answer sparked a burst of laughter among the members of the Central Committee. It seems that everyone thinks the same thing.

With such a "witty" subordinate, Wei Ze shook his head with a wry smile, "We have talked about the land issue many times. Why are there uprisings everywhere now, because with China's current population and land, one person can not share two acres of land. If a person has less than two acres of land, even if the land is evenly divided, there is no time to eat in a year without famine. Needless to say, most of the land fell into the hands of the landlords, so why did we all rise up and rebel? Isn't it because you can't get enough to eat? ”

The high-level comrades of this group are not from prominent backgrounds, and a considerable number of them have experienced starvation. The reason why they have been able to align with Weese on the land issue is that they really hate the old land system.

Seeing that everyone had no intention of objecting, Wei Ze asked: "Is there anyone who opposes our land policy now, please raise your hand if you oppose it." ”

Everyone looked at each other, but no one raised their hand. Weeser waited a few minutes before continuing: "I received a telegram this morning from the comrades of the Fourth Army saying that there are comrades in the army who oppose the land system and oppose me. The trouble was fierce, so the troops arrested him and prepared to shoot him. Look what I mean. I will sue the troops that on these issues, one will not kill, and most of them will not be arrested. I didn't say much about the troops, but for us old comrades, I would like to say a few more words. The change of Tianjing must not be repeated here by us. We are comrades, and that means like-minded. Different ideas can be discussed, but it is really unacceptable, and you can leave. But we must not kill each other. ”

When it came to the change in Tianjing, everyone's expressions changed. However, that was five or six years ago, and there were not many people in the Guangfu Army who had experienced the bloody storm in Tianjing City. Everyone could understand what Wei Ze wanted to say, but they didn't react much to Wei Ze's example. Levi even smiled and said, "Dudu, many brothers who have been persuaded to retire from the army have been trying to find a way to return to the army recently. One of the things they are not used to after leaving the army is that they can't eat rice every day. Governor, as far as the rations of our troops are concerned, they are no worse than any rich household in Guangdong. Don't look at them when they make trouble, they don't seem to be afraid of heaven and earth, they really can't eat rice, and they immediately know how much better their lives are. Even if those people don't know, we do. ”

"Do you have bittersweet memories?" Weser once looked down on this kind of political method, but the words of Secretary of Commerce Levi made Weser realize the importance of "comparison". For people in the 21st century, eating rice as a staple food is indeed one of the most basic needs of life. Therefore, Wei Ze has only one requirement for the troops to eat rice, and there must be 20% coarse grain in the staple food every day. The troops didn't understand the meaning of vitamins, but Weser knew very well. Unexpectedly, this has become the most attractive part of the army.

It seems that as long as the supply of rice can be guaranteed, the situation of the troops can be stabilized. That's all Weeser affirmed. He quickly retracted his thoughts and brought up something he wasn't sure about. "Comrades, I can only tell you that it will take 15 to 20 years to make essential changes in life and to make some of the eyebrows of industrial construction. In the past 15 to 20 years, everyone has to work hard and grit their teeth. I said that everyone followed me to fight the world, completely out of the intention of enduring hardship, I don't believe it. I want to ask you a question now, can you trust me, you grit your teeth and work hard, you can't ask for immediate reward, can you endure until that time? Everyone boldly said that we have to make this clear to everyone's future. ”R1058
