63. The Terror of Great Industry (5)
The docks in Wuhan are extremely busy. As a waterway transportation hub, the supplies of the Jianghan Line need to be transported to the south bank by ship after being transported to the north of the Yangtze River. Ships flying to and from the Yangtze River also bring business opportunities. It is the largest city controlled by the People's Party and the second largest city in the country after Shanghai in terms of GDP. The People's Party took over Wuhan during the floods, and the foreign consular corps once thought that a group of local buns and bandits of the People's Party would never be able to govern Wuhan. As a result, this group of "bandits" who were able to use Chinese characters everywhere and swiped slogans everywhere gave a hard lesson to foreign missions.
What the foreign devils can see is that in addition to disaster relief, the "bandits" used weapons to force officials at all levels to tell the way of trade circulation on the spot, listening and recording at the same time. In addition to coercing officials, they also inquired everywhere. Just when the foreign devils felt that the People's Party was poor in skills, this organization began to manage and operate Wuhan's commerce.
The foreign devil was impressed by the young rebel leader He Zudao, who could also speak some foreign languages. In his early twenties, he was a little too young. He Zudao not only controlled Wuhan, which was in chaos in the floods, but even demanded a handover of government affairs with foreign consular corps in a very orderly manner. It was only at that time that the foreign consular corps understood that the BJP dealing with them was not an ordinary bandit, but a well-trained regular army.
After another police force began to enter Wuhan, another slightly famous name came into the attention of the consular corps. The foreign patrol was abducted by the Chinese, which is also a big thing. And the head of the People's Party police force is Lin Shenhe, a "somewhat legendary" former Shanghai patrol house patrolman.
Lin Shenhe is in charge of the public security department, and under his iron-fisted rule, the law and order in Wuhan has also improved a lot. Moreover, the embassies of various countries have discovered something that is extremely rare in the world and unheard of in China. The BJP's customs officers did not accept bribes. In the tariff negotiations with the British, the British, of course, refused to hand over the taxes. The BJP did not force it, but they had their own personnel in all customs offices on a one-to-three basis, according to the available personnel. They worked and studied at the same time, and soon mastered the knowledge of Manchu customs. And accurately grasped the amount of taxes controlled by the British.
The tax that has already fallen into the hands of the British, the British will naturally not take it out. The BJP demanded that the British give the rest of the tax they received to the BJP. The Gengzi indemnity was secured by customs duties. Of course, the missions of various countries are unwilling, and if they are unwilling, the two sides will be here to grind and carry hard, and the performance of the People's Party makes it really impossible for the missions of various countries to resist. If you want to deceive the People's Party, you can't deceive it, and the tens of thousands of troops are not something that the Wuhan Consular Corps can resist.
After the People's Party was willing to import goods from various countries in large quantities, Britain, France, Germany, and the United States agreed to the People's Party's demands. Although Russia and Japan were not satisfied, they could not interfere with the actions of the People's Party in Wuhan. Coupled with the dramatic changes in the situation in China, the money for this tariff is finally in the hands of the People's Party.
In 1908, the flood turned the three towns of Wuhan into a country, and there was no grain harvest. The People's Party (PBP) nationalized Wuhan's land. The main road is eight lanes, and the narrowest road is also four lanes. The entire city began to be rebuilt under a strict layout.
Lin Shenhe led the comrades of the party school to inspect the wharf and began to inspect the civil affairs work the next day. As a time-traveler in the 21st century, Chen Ke naturally has his own experience in urban planning. Linjiang is naturally an import and export trade zone, leaving a lot of boundaries. In the residential area, each community has its own complete social facilities according to the population. Post offices, schools, hospitals, shops, and of course, police stations. This is the concept of a precinct rather than a police station. The police office is very dense and is in charge of the security of various streets.
The sub-bureau has both household registration, temporary residence, and various criminal and civil police forces, and a series of functions are all under the jurisdiction of the sub-bureau. The hukou book is the most important thing that Wuhan residents have received from the People's Party.
When Lin Shenhe entered the Hanyang Changjiang Road Branch, the bustle here really made the comrades from the county feel suffocated. There are so many people. The most eye-catching is a middle-aged man sitting on the ground and crying. The surrounding police are trying to persuade. Seeing Lin Shenhe coming over with a large group of people, the police immediately saluted Lin Shenhe.
"What's going on?" Lin Shenhe asked while returning the salute.
"This resident's household registration book has been lost." The policeman said helplessly.
Losing the hukou book means that there is no identity recognized by the People's Party. Without this identity, whether it is to apply for housing or to run a food book. It's all a big problem. The people's party's attitude toward Wuhan is to "take from the people and use it for the people." Since it has already received a large amount of tax revenue from Wuhan, a chicken that can only lay golden eggs, the People's Party is not stingy in making relatively large investments.
The People's Party has accumulated sufficient construction experience in Anhui, and the current residential area of Wuhan is full of three-story red brick apartment buildings, each with running water, kitchen and bathroom. Those who are willing to accept this household registration book can apply for housing, apply for food, and apply for children's schooling. There are so many benefits.
One of the most important reasons why dock workers are willing to join the union is that after joining the union, this series of benefits will be handled by the union for you. Especially the bitter hahas who live on labor, live in straw huts, and some have no meals. Suddenly being able to live in a small building with glass windows requires a lot of virtue in your life. It was a small red brick western-style building, where only foreign devils could live. Even if a single worker is only 15 square meters per person, it is definitely worth it.
"Down with the evil old society, the laborers have a place to live, food and clothing." Such propaganda was immediately implemented. At least Lin Shenhe believes that this is why Lu Huitian is hesitant to violently implement comprehensive land reform. If the problem can be solved by administrative and financial means, so much resistance and difficulties encountered by violent land reform can be avoided.
Lin Shenhe himself clearly opposed this view at the Party Committee of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee, and Wuhan relied on sucking blood from commerce and trade in neighboring provinces to have such a scale of capital investment. As the person in charge of public security, Lin Shenhe firmly supports the completion of comprehensive land reform as soon as possible, the establishment of grassroots organizations, and the implementation of a strict urban-rural dual system. In this troubled era, it is necessary to firmly grasp the four provinces of the base area. If we fail to do this, we will not be able to effectively harness the strength of the BJP. It's very difficult to build, and it's too easy to destroy. If effective management cannot be carried out, it will be irresponsible to the party and to the working people.
Looking at the pitiful appearance of the man who was crying, Lin Shenhe almost blurted out, "Let's make up for it according to the regulations." ”
But this impulse was only for a moment, and Lin Shenhe asked in a deep voice, "Why did we lose it?" ”
"He said he didn't know either, so he asked us to reissue it for him. Before he could ask, he started crying. Facing Lin Shenhe, the police answered very carefully.
"Let him cry like this affects our normal work, bring him in and ask." Lin Shenhe replied very decisively. The first thing the public security organs have to do is to maintain order, and if their own order is disrupted, then what is it?
After saying this, Lin Shenhe asked loudly: "Where is the person in charge of the front desk on duty today?" ”
The policemen looked at each other a few times, and someone replied: "The deputy director is out." ”
"Where's the Director?" As soon as Lin Shenhe finished asking, he remembered that the director of the bureau was participating in training at the party school.
"The director and the deputy director went out together." The voices of the police officers are not too high.
"Where's the Chief of the Security Section?" Lin Shenhe was really surprised.
"A few leaders went out to show everyone the house." Finally, a comrade gave a clear answer.
The public security organs divided the houses into nine communities. It's a nice thing, but the problem is that there is no one left, which is too exciting. Lin Shenhe thought helplessly.
Looking at the cadres who came to visit, Lin Shenhe smiled and said, "Come, everyone help and bring this citizen in." ”
Seeing a group of young men rushing towards him, he frightened the middle-aged man on the ground. However, he simply could not resist these police cadres from the army. Two police cadres grabbed the arm of the middle-aged man on the ground from left and right, and under the leadership of the police, dragged him into the conference room in the substation.
The masses who came to do the work looked at this clean and neat disposition, some of them gloated, and some showed a hint of fear on their faces.
"This comrade, you can explain to everyone that the sub-bureau is a place for citizens to solve problems, not a place for people to make trouble. No matter who it is, it must not disturb the social order. After explaining the work, Lin Shenhe entered the interrogation room with other comrades.
A group of people watched from the black, and the momentum frightened the middle-aged man into crying in a low voice. Lin Shenhe felt more and more that something was wrong. If you are here to do something, even if it is a major event of reissuing the household registration book, you should not look like this.
During the interrogation, this person was even more flawed, not to mention the experienced Lin Shenhe, and some other public cadres also heard the clues. There were already people eagerly trying to interject. was glared at by Lin Shenhe, and they finally held back the urge to show off.
Finish asking from the end of the matter. Lin Shenhe now asked the middle-aged man to take him to the interrogation room. Only then did he ask: "What do the comrades think?" ”
"This man is not telling the truth."
He first said that he didn't find it three days ago, and then said that he lost it yesterday. Illogical. ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, someone immediately began to look through the interrogation records.
"This guy can't be a liar, right?" There have already been attempts to draw conclusions.
After the comrades talked in a mess, Lin Shenhe interrupted the various discussions and even arguments that began to diverge in disorder. "Comrades, some people say that you should believe in the masses, others say that you should not believe in the masses. Both of these arguments have their own supporting theories, and I believe that as a public security organ and as an organ for maintaining social order, we should believe in the facts. How to see the facts, I think the "Theory of Practice" is very clear. Who's going to tell the story? ”
The police cadres looked at each other one by one, and the last cadre who was a political commissar said: "The first step in the process of understanding is to start getting in touch with external things, which belongs to the stage of feeling. The second step is to organize and transform the materials of the senses, which belongs to the stage of conceptualization, judgment and reasoning. Only when the material of the senses is abundant (not fragmentary) and practical (not an illusion) can the correct concepts and theories be created from such materials. ”
After reciting this passage, some of the comrades have begun to understand, and some are still a little inexplicable.
Lin Shenhe didn't have the idea of letting everyone play dumb riddles, he explained straightforwardly: "Comrades, for any case, questioning is the beginning of contact with external affairs, and in this process, you can't interrupt the statement of the person being questioned. If it's interrupted, it's a kind of guidance. This is detrimental to the collection of raw materials. And when you interrupt, it means that you already have a subjective opinion. If you use your subjective imagination to imagine what is happening to others, it is easy to give birth to unrealistic illusions. If you rely entirely on your own subjective imagination, it is impossible to draw correct judgments and reasoning. ”
The comrade in the middle who tried to interrupt the middle-aged man couldn't help but blush.
"Second, in the course of handling the case, I ask you not to start questioning immediately after recording your confession. Let's go through the confession again. See if there is any problem with the logic and whether there are any inconsistencies in the content of the statement. Then conduct a second inquiry to clarify these suspicions. After that, look at the confession. Remember, in both cases, don't lead people to speak, listen to what they say. This is the way to understand things as they are. ”
After saying this, Lin Shenhe glanced around. He could see that some comrades had already understood these words and were reflecting on them. Some didn't understand, while others didn't pay attention to the learning at all, but to the reactions of others. Or there are a few who simply echo it, attracting Lin Shenhe's attention, trying to prove that they are better than others.
Combined with the performance during the ordinary study period, Lin Shenhe has begun to delineate in his mind which comrades can enter the higher-level training class and which comrades still need to continue targeted education. And there are still some people who need to be cleared out of the team.
Not only the public security department, but also all departments of the People's Party School are advancing their work in an orderly manner, and no matter what the comrades who participated in this training think of themselves, the teachers of various categories selected by Chen Ke, the inspections, and the ideological reports from the comrades, as well as the judgments in the life meetings of various party organizations, have been gathered one after another.
"My name is White Crow, and I'm ready." The comrades standing on the four-meter-high platform of the third level of the outward bound training back fall project stood on the edge of the platform on tiptoe and shouted loudly with their backs to everyone.
"We're ready too, trust us!" The comrades under the stage also answered loudly.
The comrade who named himself the White Crow still remembers that on the lower first floor, a middle-aged comrade named the Living God of Wealth, his body was almost at an acute angle, and his buttocks fell forward. Comrade White Crow's arm is still aching. So he tried to straighten his body as much as possible, tighten his buttocks, and fall straight and empty back in as straight a form as possible.
In front of a four-meter-high wooden fence over the project, the burliest comrade was at the bottom, and he struggled to hold the legs of one of the tallest comrades. The two comrades sat on the top of the wooden fence and dragged the two people up and down with all their strength. On the other side of the wooden fence, the comrades who had already flipped through the past grabbed the legs of the two comrades and hung them in the air to ensure that the two comrades who were sitting on the bench could maintain their balance.
This crossing project was carried out by four groups at the same time, and some comrades did not think of this at first, and they decided to abandon the last comrade like a strong man with a broken wrist. As soon as I saw that there was already a new idea here, someone immediately wanted to go back.
"Eagles, for breaking the rules. Each team member starts with 20 push-ups! As the captain because there is no block, doubled, forty. The instructor shouted.
"Instructor, I ......" the comrade captain of the Eagle group tried to argue.
"Before the instructor could speak, tried to argue, plus ten more push-ups per person. As the captain did not block, doubled, twenty. "The instructor not only interrupted the words of the Eagles comrades, but also gave them a new punishment according to the rules. After thirty push-ups were done, the captain of the Eagle Group didn't care about being tired, and hurriedly raised his hand to ask questions.
"Comrades of the Eagles, you are now allowed to ask questions." The instructor then said.
"Instructor, how do we go back?"
"When I explained the rules, I said that you were only allowed to move around the sides of the fence. How to get there, you discuss it with your teammates. The instructor replied very simply.
The premise of the outward bound training team is that all members are required not to know each other. The captain is selected by the team members after each team member gives a "competitive captain's speech" in turn. The captain of the Eagles gathered the players, "We had to turn over again." ”
"Captain, after doing these dozens of push-ups, I'm running out of strength." A member of the team said.
"If you don't have the strength, you will rest, there is still time, we will fall to the last place, as long as time allows, we can't leave our comrades there." The captain said categorically.
The Eagles looked at their captain and then at the team next to them. This captain of the Eagles was a staff officer of the army. If it weren't for the fact that the rules require the captain to cross the wooden fence to be considered successful, the captain would have left his strong man's broken wrist there. But the team that first came up with the idea of dragging all over the fence in a group was a scout. Whether you have actual combat experience or not, it's really different.
Seeing the questioning and dissatisfied eyes of the players, the captain of the Eagles blushed. But the shyness only lasted for a moment. The captain of the Eagles snapped and saluted, "Comrades, my original design was not reasonable. I only think about efficiency, not perfection. Comrades have ideas about me, and I think that's as it should be. However, on the other side are our comrades, and we still have time, so please trust me again. We did our best to bring comrades over. If it's too late, I'm not going to let us all fail because of the timeout. Will you want to try again? ”
The comrades, who did not trust the captain, were moved by these words. Everyone looked at each other, and finally someone said, "Let's start now, while we still have some strength." I guess it's really boring to rest for a while. ”
A small comrade nodded and said, "Our team is thin, I'll try to stand at the bottom, and I can save some effort when I pull it for a while." ”
Seeing that everyone was so supportive, the captain of the Eagles really felt a little tearful. He snapped and saluted again, "Thank you comrades for your support." When I pass, I will definitely give my comrades a profound review. ”
"Stop talking nonsense, come on. Who's standing at the bottom this time. The comrade who spoke named himself Cuckoo, and he was impatient, so he remained silent. Now that the whole team had a consensus, he immediately shouted.
"The cuckoo is out of the ranks. Not following team discipline and doing ten push-ups. The instructor immediately shouted.
The cuckoo was about to defend himself, but because he had just been punished for doing push-ups, his sore arms reminded him of the existence of discipline. The cuckoo closed his mouth and obediently did ten push-ups. Then get up and ask for a question.
"Cuckoo, allow you to ask questions." The instructor said.
"Instructor, why are you punishing me for not following team discipline?" The cuckoo shouted.
The instructor's voice was serious, "Because when choosing a captain, it is a common decision for everyone. As a member of the team, you are obliged to accept the command of the captain. After each method of climbing is decided, you have said before you have crossed that you agree with this climbing method, so if the captain is wrong, you are also at fault. Just because you feel that the captain has made a mistake should not be able to command the whole team in reverse. That's why I judged you to be not following team discipline. ”
The cuckoo nodded, but remained silent. The instructor didn't say much, and continued to watch coldly from the side.
The captain of the Eagles was depressed by this criticism, but he quickly recovered, "Comrades, let's discuss the order of who will line up the ladder this time." ”
It was May 1, 1910. That is, two months after the start of the Third Plenary Session of the First Central Committee. Although Chen Ke would like to continue with more comprehensive party discussions, the reality of the situation does not allow him to do so. The transfer of 6,000 party members from the base areas has had a tremendous impact on local work. Faced with such a situation, Chen Ke decided to end with large-scale outward bound training. And the effect of this outward bound training, judging from the training, is not bad.
