New Beginnings (1)

It was pitch black outside the window, but there was a blue-white light reflected on the window paper, so that Shen Zengzhi couldn't tell whether it was day or night outside. Yan Fu, who was on the opposite floor, no longer turned over, and his breathing gradually calmed down. The beds in the prison were not much different from those in the barracks of the Insurance Regiment. If I had to say, the prison was not very ventilated, and it was even warmer. The sheets on his body were very thin, and he couldn't keep the cool air out at all. Shen Zengzhi was very envious of Yan Fu, on such a cold and awe-inspiring night, Yan Fu could still sleep.

The events of the day gave Shen Zengzhi a heavy pressure, and he actually had no resentment or unwillingness in his heart. Chen Ke's revolutionary principles failed to convince Shen Zengzhi, but Shen Zengzhi was completely overwhelmed by Chen Ke's firm attitude. Although Confucianism stresses benevolence, Confucianism never believes in or advocates the power of the people. Chen Ke's monster-like existence made Shen Zengzhi very puzzled. A person who firmly believes in the supreme power of the uneducated common people is a true madman in the eyes of Confucianism. Thinking back to everything during the day, Shen Zengzhi understood very well that Chen Ke, a madman, had real materials. But a madman is a madman, and the people can make it impossible to know it. Shen Zengzhi firmly believes that once the people have power, they will not do anything other than mess around.

The night was getting darker and the chill was getting heavier, and Shen Zengzhi wrapped the sheets on his body. According to Chen Ke, the treatment of the People's Party is like this, and the cadres do not have the slightest privilege. Whatever ordinary officers and soldiers use, the cadres of the People's Party will use. No wonder the People's Party is in such a hurry to build a house, without a house, this winter really can't be lived.

Shen Zengzhi didn't understand why Yan Fu wanted to join the People's Party. To atone for sins? Or for ambition. In short, when Chen Ke reprimanded Shen Zengzhi, Yan Fu unexpectedly expressed his willingness to join the revolution. Shen Zengzhi knew that Yan Fu was not an easy person to persuade, and since he had made up his mind, it was impossible to change. However, Chen Ke was able to convince Yan Fu, which is really puzzling. What is Yan Fu's plan?

Maybe the body is gradually adapting to the cold, or maybe the tiredness can't resist. Thinking about it, Shen Zengzhi fell asleep.

When the military horn sounded, Shen Zengzhi was not woken up. He was awakened by the sound of rumbling footsteps, the sound of hundreds of people walking together. When he opened his eyes, Shen Zengzhi felt that his body felt nothing, like a piece of wood. He turned his stiff neck, but saw that Yan Fu had already gotten up.

"Brother Yan, where are you going?" Shen Zengzhi asked with difficulty.

"Go out and run and." Yan Fu did not hesitate at all. Morning exercises in the morning have been a habit for a long time. But after leaving the army, Yan Fu hadn't experienced this feeling for a long time. "Brother Shen, you can rest for a while." After speaking, Yan Fu put his own sheet on Shen Zengzhi. The heat that remained on the sheet reached Shen Zengzhi, and he immediately felt much warmer.

As soon as he went out, Yan Fu heard shouting. It was the shouts of the various units calling for their own warriors. For Yan Fu, a veteran who has been engaged in military construction and military education for more than 20 years, the People's Party's camp is so familiar and so cordial. Even without looking at it, Yan Fu could know which troops were old and which were new just by listening to the voice. Yan Fu is very clear about Chen Ke's old background in the Shanghai era. Chen Ke had dozens of less loyal followers back then. Now there are thousands of people in the camp, regardless of the length of time the unit has been formed, but the discipline from the top down has been established. Yan Fu's gaze finally fell on a place, and sure enough, as he thought, in front of the most well-trained and elite team, Yan Fu saw Chen Ke's tall figure. Yan Fu walked over quickly, "Wen Qing, which team do you want me to join?" ”

"Mr. Yan, in the future, we will all be comrades. This is our rule. Chen Ke said solemnly, "There is no one in the revolutionary ranks, and once you join the revolution, everyone is a comrade." Every human being must have the same dignity. ”

Although he was not used to Chen Ke's speech, Yan Fu was not a hypocritical person, he nodded, "Then what do I call Wen Qing?" ”

"People usually call me the job title, Chairman Chen."

"It's an ancient name." Yan Fu praised.

"I'm going to appoint you as the leader of the Special Operations Group, and we're going to attack Anqing in a month or two, so I hope you can get that piece of iron under our control within a month. Don't run today, I'll take you right away to meet the captain of the water detachment, who will be in charge of leading the fleet to Hanyang. The sooner this happens, the better. ”

The efficiency of the People's Party is beyond Yan Fu's imagination, there is no courtesy, and the chief official does not want to take care of everything. After introducing Zhang Yu, the detachment leader of the water detachment, and Li Zhao, the political commissar, Chen Ke left. The person in charge gathered for a meeting, and Zhang Yu made it clear that he would personally lead the team. Yan Fu was very satisfied with this. This highly responsible model is in line with the naval model that Yan Fu is used to. When the discussion was over, Zhang Yu took Yan Fu to see the fleet, and the clean deck that had been repeatedly scrubbed reminded Yan Fu of the habits of the Beiyang Naval Division.

The troops did not set off immediately after reaching the initial plan, and the General Staff was responsible for developing the sailing plan. The planning of the route and the timing are big things. This kind of staff work is Yan Fu's forte, and Zhang Yu is only convinced in front of the old-timers.

When Yan Fu led the "inland river fleet" to work, Chen Ke could not be idle. He convened a meeting of comrades from the public security and judicial departments. "I want to make the Civil Code and the Marriage Law." Chen Ke gave the order directly.

Xu Dian immediately became as happy as if he had taken a stimulant. The other comrades did not have a basic judicial concept and were completely confused about the task proposed by Chen Ke.

"Since we want to divide the land, we have to have a charter. Everyone has learned the part of small-scale peasant economy in the party class, right? I will not talk about the long-term significance of the enactment of the law, one of the main tasks of these two laws is to do their best to dismantle the smallholder economy. The basis of the small-scale peasant economy is the family, which is the basic unit of society united by marriage. Who do you think is our enemy and who is our friend in this regard? ”

The public procuratorate is still a family, or a police system. There was no understanding of such a profound revolutionary question. "Chairman Chen, just say it." Lin Shenhe asked.

"Our enemies are the clans. The feudal clan had great influence on the family members, and the clan elders could even directly sentence the family members to death. What do these clan elders rely on? It is by virtue of influence over land and justice. Since we want to eliminate the small peasant economy and keep the people under the control of the government. It is necessary to completely eliminate the influence of clan forces on the people. ”

The comrades of the public procuratorate and the law still do not understand what Chen Ke is talking about, and the only thing they really understand is that the People's Party must directly control the people's lives. Dai Enze learned a word at the last meeting, and he couldn't help but ask: "Do you still want to mobilize the people to fight the people?" ”

Poof, Xu Dian couldn't help laughing. The laughter was full of approval.

Seeing that Chen Ke didn't want to criticize this statement, Lin Shenhe asked, "What kind of fighting method?" ”

"Benefit those who are the most oppressed, those who are at the bottom. In order to protect this interest, the people can follow us. Chen Ke pointed out, "We want revolution, and what revolution pursues is universal and equal interests." We have to grasp that. ”

The three leaders of the public procuratorate, procuratorate, and law, led by law students, former patrol cadres, and former ordinary people, lowered their heads and thought for a while, but they couldn't get the gist of it. Hearing Chen Ke's intention to make something shocking but reasonable, but how to satisfy these two points at the same time, the leaders of the three violent organs were very puzzled. But two of the three were veteran party members, and they knew the rules of the BJP. Chen Ke allows you to think seriously and then talk nonsense, but Chen Ke does not allow you not to think. The cadres in the People's Party are all capable of doing things, and the comrades who live in the middle of the day are doing work at the grassroots level that has no future. Anyway, everyone is used to Chen Ke's final decision, and even if he is wrong, no one will settle the score. So Xu Dian first put forward his own idea: "Is it a way to pass marriage certification?" If we don't agree with it, we can't get married? ”

"This will definitely not work, the people will never agree to do this." Dai immediately dismissed this attitude. "But the military soldiers can get married, but we can let them pass. And it's good that a soldier has to support his own people. ”

"By the method of inheritance, right?" After all, Lin Shenhe is a former patrol cadre and has a certain understanding of foreign laws, "If the state does not recognize it, they can't get the right to inherit?" ”

It seems that this is the limit of the comrades, Chen Ke has already determined. He didn't want to waste time, so he directly shared his thoughts and thoughts, "I want to make sure that this land division is for people and not for families, and women and men have the same standards." Men can divide three acres of land, and women must share three acres of land. Count by head, not by family. Moreover, when a woman gets married, these three acres of land must be married. ”

The three leaders of the judicial mouth really didn't expect Chen Ke to come up with such a method. Dai Enze was completely shocked, the low status of women in the countryside is really the bottom. Even Dai didn't think there was any justification for such a division of land. Thinking of his daughter's share of the land, he would marry another family's son in the future, and he immediately felt a wave of resistance in his heart.

Lin Shenhe had been in contact with foreign justice, and although he was puzzled, the shock was far less intense than that of Dai Enze. However, Lin Shenhe did not have a deep sense of the people's revolution, and he was very puzzled by the intrinsic meaning of Chen Ke's plan.

After all, Xu Dian was from the law department, and he shouted after a while: "Wonderful! ”
