18. Grassroots (3)
Chen Ke has done a lot of things watching others die, for Chen Ke, if he is a person who is destined to die, why bother to persuade him? Whether it is the Yue Wang Society, or the Restoration Society, no matter how poor these revolutionary predecessors are, Chen Ke just wants to get the maximum benefit from the path that these people are bound to take. As for the people, Chen Ke knew that the people did not want to die. As long as they can provide an immortal lifestyle, the masses can only follow the general situation for their own sake.
Even a hero like Yuan Shikai, when his subordinates were captured, he could only silently bear the insults of a few hairy children. Although Chen Ke has reflected on his immaturity, this does not mean that Chen Ke will have real sympathy for Yuan Shikai when judging the situation.
But in the face of He Qian, who did not enter the oil and salt, Chen Ke felt that he had simply encountered hob meat. His kindness was completely ignored, and He Qian didn't care about Chen Ke's worries at all, and insisted on going back to Beijing. Chen Ke became more and more annoyed in his heart, if He Qian didn't care about He Ying's feelings so much, then he might as well let He Qian go by himself. Chen Ke felt that he had done his duty.
He Ying was pregnant, and she had all kinds of worries in her heart, but now she encountered something about her aunt, and Chen Ke picked her children these days and didn't go home at all. He Ying is Chen Ke's wife, but the People's Party doesn't care what your identity is. Without the status of an organization, no one's relatives are privileged. This group of young people who take it as their mission to clarify the world is at a time when they are full of vigor, and there is no market for anything that makes people feel unreasonable in the middle and upper echelons of the People's Party. Everyone was very polite to He Ying, but He Ying couldn't do anything no matter what he wanted.
Seeing that Chen Ke and He Qian had a battle of will, He Ying subconsciously gently pressed her bulging abdomen with her arm. This action was just an instinctive action of pregnant women, but Chen Ke and He Qian both had a look of concern on their faces.
He Ying knew that this was her last chance to speak, "Auntie, Wen Qing has absolutely no malice. She had to stabilize He Qian first. After finishing speaking, He Ying turned to Chen Ke, "Wenqing, you just listen to your aunt honestly." ”
These words are just the most basic conversation cultivation for He Ying, but for Chen Ke, they are like a bolt of lightning, and they have found the answer to the problem that Chen Ke has been most worried about recently. Chen Ke's eyes suddenly lit up, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face, and the whole person looked strangely excited and happy.
These days, Chen Ke has racked his brains on how to design the most optimal revolutionary line. Any design idea will encounter insurmountable difficulties. Chen Ke even thought that he would never be able to solve this problem. He Ying's simple words made the dark clouds in the sky disperse immediately. "Listen to others!" That's right, just listen to others.
In the beginning, in the face of death caused by the floods, there was no need to say anything. Everyone understands that if you don't do it well, you will die. Later, in order to establish a new system, Chen Ke said that all he said were concrete steps to establish a system. Chen Ke's party chairman, whatever he says, everyone should do what they do.
At a new stage, Chen Ke didn't really need to say anything. When it was time to listen to others, everyone's demands were different, the people needed revolution, and they also had revolutionary base areas, revolutionary banners and forces. What else does Chen Ke need to say? Anything else is a matter of adding to it. The most difficult stage has passed, and Chen Ke no longer needs the unconditional support of others. Now is the time to support Chen Ke, who is no longer talking incessantly, but listening patiently and meticulously to others, and finding out the needs of the revolution from others' words.
Although I really want to show a calm and calm demeanor. But the ecstasy of this realization made Chen Ke close his eyes and look up to the sky and sigh. If it weren't for facing the pregnant He Ying, Chen Ke would actually want to look up to the sky and laugh. Sometimes, it's as simple as that. But in the maze, after having a strong subjective "delusion", the essence of Chen Ke's immature little boy was undoubtedly revealed.
Finally calming down, Chen Ke swept other thoughts out of his mind. If you can't stay focused all the time, productivity will be minimized. This is one of the easiest skills that hard work has taught Chen. If you want to stay focused, you need to be empty-minded and have no distractions to disturb your thoughts.
He Ying and He Qian both looked at Chen Ke with the same eyes as if they were neurotic, and such abnormal behavior was really surprising. However, after Chen Ke quickly returned to normal, He Ying wanted to leave Chen Ke with some dignity, so he didn't say a word. He Qian didn't care much about Chen Ke, and her surprise only lasted for a moment. As usual, He Qian quickly expelled all the other thoughts from his mind, and quietly waited to hear what Chen Ke would say. Since he danced like a god, Chen Ke must say something.
"Auntie, He Ying loves you very much, respects you very much, and cares about you very much. I also feel that I have an obligation to your personal safety. If you are in danger, He Ying will be very sad. Chen Ke repeated Fang Cai's words. He already understood that this was the basic point of his communication with He Qian.
He Qian nodded slightly, and these words really moved He Qian. But what Chen Ke said next was, she tightened her mouth, ready to listen to what Chen Ke was going to say this time.
"What are your aunt's plans for the future, please tell me and He Ying. We want to help my aunt as much as we can. We can't help ......, no, even if you don't want us to help. At least Auntie, you told us about your future plans, and we also felt ...... in our hearts, and we didn't feel as if we were not too far away from you. ”
If calculated according to the full score of 100 points, Chen Ke can score at most 60 points this time. But He Qian didn't think this was annoying at all. Relatives, that's normal.
He Ying saw that Chen Ke was so upside down that he finally didn't talk nonsense, and his face immediately became bright.
He Qian made up her mind, but in fact, she didn't have a complete plan for what would happen in the future. The speed of change in this era greatly surprised He Qian. Since the fall of the Third Town of Beiyang and the imprisonment of the He family, He Qian has completely lost any possibility of deciding his future direction.
Looking at He Qian's deep groan, He Ying hurriedly said, "Auntie, you might as well stay with us." I'm pregnant now, and Wen Qing is spinning like a small mill every day. With you by my side, I also feel at ease. Anhui is so far away from Beijing, I can't even go home if I want to. ”
Seeing her niece He Ying pretending to be pitiful like this, He Qian smiled bitterly. "I can't go back to Beijing. I know you're worried that someone will try to harm me when I go back. But if I don't go back, how many people want to harm Yongsheng and our Sun family. As long as Wen Qing does not defeat the battle, the imperial court will definitely not dare to touch our He family, but there are as many people who dare to take the Sun family's practices. Let me ignore the Sun family, I can't do it. ”
When He Ying heard this, she was in a hurry, and there were already tears in her eyes. He Qian smiled and pressed her niece's hand, "If Wen Qing can really break into Beijing City, then your child will be able to speak." When the time comes, take the child to see me, and I, as a grandmother, have already prepared the gift money. ”
After determining that He Qian must leave, there is no point in Chen Ke staying any longer. He left first on the pretext of arranging He Qian's itinerary. It is not difficult to arrange the itinerary at all, and the transportation lines of the People's Party are quite mature, so it is enough to let He Qian follow her comrades.
Chen Ke lay on the bed in the office for a while, and then got up again to look through the records, and his mind jumped back to work. "Listening" is just a general term, which does not mean that Chen Ke listens to others everywhere he goes, but it means that he completely hands over the work to the comrades. Chen Ke just took on the work and responsibilities that he needed to take on in this position. What he has to do is to listen to the report, and then verify and summarize what the comrades have done. If in the past it was Chen Ke who taught the comrades to carry out the revolution, now it is the comrades who ask Chen Ke to see how the revolution is doing, and Chen Ke decides whether to do it or not. In this process, the first thing is to be able to "listen to others". Whether Chen Ke wants to accept it or not, the vast majority of practice in revolutionary work has already begun to pass into the hands of local comrades.
After not sleeping all night, Chen Ke read the local information. Originally, Chen Ke always held a strong view of "like an arm making a finger". This time, he sorted out the local personnel arrangements from the perspective of supervision rather than order. Only then did I realize that many of my previous arrangements were quite unreasonable. Then I called up the content of the various meetings and read them again, and it was dawn before I finished reading.
During the daytime meeting, Chen Ke rarely did not set the tone first, and the comrades also felt that they did not know what to say. It is very unusual for the party chairman to go out, not to mention that Chen Ke personally went to the local area to carry out work. Chen Ke waited for a long time, but he didn't hear any reasonable suggestions from the comrades.
As a last resort, Chen Ke put forward two requirements for work: "First, we must implement the principle of party committee leadership. Second, it is forbidden to make rash advances, and in accordance with the plan that has been drawn up, land reform should be carried out first in areas where the conditions for land reform are met. "In general, except that Chen Ke is not in charge of the work at the central level, it is enough to follow the work plan decided in advance.
The only thing that can be called a big change is that Chen Ke originally wanted to carefully select the cadre team, but now he just wants to gather the comrades from the Lu'an area in the army, so that the locals can talk about local affairs. A company of troops was transferred to accompany him. Lu'an is a poor place, and if thousands of people are sent there, needless to say, the rations of these troops alone can overwhelm the local finances.
The departure time is scheduled after He Qian leaves. Although Chen Ke didn't care much about life and death, if He Qian knew that Chen Ke had gone to Lu'an, it would be a joke if he inadvertently leaked the news. The comrades knew this, but no one said anything.
Just when Chen Ke was preparing to go to Lu'an, there was something in the document that was routinely sent back from the Shandong base where the Northern Bureau was located, which shook the Party Central Committee. The Northern Bureau in charge of Shang Yuan, Chen Tianhua, Wu Xingchen, and Chai Qingguo was initially established, and Beiyang had not yet been attacked at that time, and the central authorities absolutely did not think that the Shandong base area could effectively attract Beiyang troops. Therefore, the focus at that time was to ask them to form a team first and establish a solid base. Eight hundred miles of Mengshan Yishui, once a place of "four plugs, no boats and vehicles, no foreign goods, no local goods", but also the old area of the Red Revolution, Chen Ke suggested that the base area be built here, but it is far from being really implemented.
Anhui and Shandong are far apart, in fact, the Shandong base area is basically on its own, and the previous period of work was fine, and the base area was established in the Yimeng Mountain Wangzhuang area. As a result, all of a sudden, the Northern Bureau sent a batch of "anti-clearance and national salvation bonds." The report written by Shang Yuan, secretary of the Northern Bureau, was written in person. Due to the lack of funds in the Northern Bureau, it had to raise some funds through the method of "issuing bonds". The method of issuance is very traditional, that is, to invite some important figures from wealthy families to "discuss state affairs," and finally the rich families "consciously and voluntarily" accept a certain amount of "anti-clearance and national salvation bonds."
Shang Yuan asked the Party Central Committee very implicitly how much the Central Committee would take from this fund.
Chen Ke never expected that the Northern Bureau led by Comrade Shang Yuan would have the demeanor of Shandong Xiangma so soon. Although the team gathered by Wu Xingchen in Shandong was, to put it bluntly, a group of ringing horses, the Party Central Committee sent Shang Yuan and them to Shandong in order to transform these ringing horse teams, not to let the ringing horses "transform" the revolutionary ranks in turn.
Chen Ke has never been a moralist, and he has done a lot of kidnapping and extortion in the history of the party. The famous Marshal He Huzi and Comrade Liu Zhidan are both experts in this regard. For the comrades who came to report, Chen Ke wanted to take the initiative to spit out two sentences, such as "The Shandong base area is so short of money? "Are you okay with the meat tickets lately?"
Thinking about it, Chen Ke still listened to the report honestly. The comrade who came to report also seemed embarrassed about the incident, and he did not mention it directly. It started with the launch of "anti-rent, anti-tax, and crackdown on cults" in the Yimeng Mountain area.
Shandong, as a direct subordinate, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had quite strong control. In other words, the Manchu regime was quite tax-intensive. The Northern Bureau launched a revolution with "anti-rent and anti-tax" according to local conditions. The connection between the peasants and the government is actually "taxation", and once they "resist rent and tax", they will rebel.
In the traditional Chinese rebellion, "no food, no taxes" has been an inherent slogan for thousands of years. The Green Forest Armed Forces have always adopted this slogan. Since it is necessary to transform the green forest armed forces in Shandong, the revolutionary work will be launched. The comrades of the Northern Bureau believed that the propaganda of the superiority of the "socialist system" had no practical effect at all. "Whoever bullies the common people will be defeated." This kind of grudge is the most appropriate way.
In the end, the people's revolution will fall on the result that the masses of the people "have to turn over and be liberated." The development in the early stage was quite rapid, and after killing the Manchu forces in the Yimeng Mountains, the fields were divided into land, and the base areas were also prosperous. Recently, however, cultists in various localities suddenly became strongly hostile to the base areas, and the conflict between the two sides soon intensified.
