Chapter 57
Although he was the political commissar of the second company of the "insurance regiment", He Zudao did not override the consciousness of Chai Qingguo, the commander of the second company of the insurance regiment, in terms of organizational status. This child, like the youngest son of an ordinary southern family, is well-behaved, obedient, and very communicative. There is a habitual admiration for the strong. Although he has a higher status in the organization, He Zudao instinctively avoids using the resolutions of the party organization as the source of his power, and instead adopts a very instinctive and soft way to handle his relationship with Chai Qingguo. In fact, this is also the reason why Chen Ke chose He Zudao as the political commissar of the second company. The insurance regiment now has two regular companies, and two more companies are in the process of being formed. Although Chen Ke is the commander-in-chief, there are too many local affairs now, and it is impossible for Chen Ke to focus on the army. Therefore, the combination of one article and one martial arts is the best way at this stage.
He Zudao is not clear about Chen Ke's plan now, and in the future army building plan, Chen Ke decided to imitate the old path of the Red Army back then, and the political commissar will be selected from the military cadres. In the system of the party commanding the army, the political commissar is the representative of the party, and is by no means a supervisor of the army. It must be explained in a rigid way that the military commander of the military is equivalent to the role of CEO or manager, acting as an executor rather than a commander. The party organization is the board of directors, and it is the party organization, not the officer corps, that determines the actions of the army. This is also the biggest difference between the socialist army and the national defense army. Therefore, the political commissars who are equivalent to the status of "directors" in the enterprise are preferably from military cadres. Because historically, political commissars have often surpassed military cadres in military command. Whether it was the Red Army, or later the Eighth Route, or the People's Liberation Army. The military cadres did not dare to disobey the orders of the political commissars, not only because of their obedience to the party organizations, but because the opinions of the political commissars were more correct most of the time and considered from a more comprehensive perspective.
Of course, these future plans will certainly not be revealed now. For example, if Chai Qingguo knew about Chen Ke's plan, he would never think that Chen Ke was "far-sighted", on the contrary, Chai Qingguo thought that Chen Ke was deliberately trying to deal with these officers.
Based on such a situation, it is naturally impossible for He Zudao to know this. Of course, He Zudao didn't want to delve into it. It was a wonderful process to become the political commissar of the second company of the "insurance regiment". The reason why He Zudao joined the People's Party was not so much because he had a passion for the revolution, but because he had repaid his gratitude and loyalty to Chen Ke himself. He Zudao's parents died early and lived with his brother. Although the family background is not good, He Zudao went to middle school in the church school, according to the life pattern of this era, He Zudao's future is to start as an apprentice in a certain business, and then slowly become a shopkeeper, if he has money, maybe open a store in the future. That's how you can see the future.
So for He Zudao, who has no unknowable future at all, his freedom is just to follow that industry. So whatever the life-saving benefactor Chen Ke told him to do, he did. And deep down in He Zudao's heart, there is an unspeakable reason for following the actions of the People's Party. Emotionally speaking, He Zudao has an indescribable deep admiration for the "Sister You" who also participated in saving him. After every hard work, as long as you can see the smiling face of "Sister Youyi", He Zudao will laugh from the bottom of his heart.
Maybe it's this mentality that isn't strong enough, so He Zudao never looks down on anyone, and never has any contempt for the soldiers who contribute. After all, they, like He Zudao, must obey the leadership of the party organization. What He Zudao wants to do is to explain the organization's decision to everyone and report everyone's ideas to the party organization. Then it would be nice to work hard with these grassroots comrades.
These things are not difficult for He Zudao. Through his identity as a cultural teacher, He Zudao has been accepted by these comrades who have little culture. He Zudao thinks that his merit lies in "obedience". has the direction of Chen Ke and the name of "Sister Youyi", and the specific hard work is not a great difficulty in the eyes of this child.
Paddleing is very tiring, and singing has a good effect on everyone's emotional mobilization. This is what Chen Ke taught to He Zudao, and it has been completely proven in these days. After singing "Three * Laws and Eight Attentions", He Zudao saw that everyone was already motivated, so he stopped. "The Internationale" is a very good song, but Chen Ke is not too much of a fan of singing it every time, according to Chen Ke's words, "The main task now is to let everyone find their own place in our insurance group, so that they feel that we are talking to the poor, and you have to try to do a good job in this middle." As for rising up against the landlords and clan forces, you have to let these comrades ask for it. Incitement is not necessarily good. ”
Recalling these words, He Zudao couldn't resist the idea of leading the song. He shouted according to the method taught by Chen Ke: "Comrades, do you have the confidence to rush to the dock today? ”
Except for a few old captains who led the way, all of them were members of the People's Party's Insurance Regiment, and they were not sailors, although under the command of the Party, all the comrades had exercised their abilities and strengthened their obedience during the flood, and were able to do the work of sailors. However, after staying on the ship for a long time, I still don't get used to it. Hearing He Zudao's shouting, everyone felt that it had been said in their hearts.
"Yes!" Almost all of them shouted.
"If you want to get to the dock early, if you want to transport these grains back to the villagers as soon as possible, we have to work hard!"
"Good!" The comrades responded again.
He Zudao shouted the trumpet, and the speed of the oars increased a lot, and everyone pulled the oars more powerfully. His relatives are still waiting for these life-saving food to be delivered back in their hometown, and this call has made everyone energetic. The first ship raised a red pennant, a red flag and under other pennants that had already been raised. This combination means that the paddling speed is increased from five to six beats per minute. One by one, the same flag was hoisted on all ships, and the speed of the fleet increased significantly.
In the evening, the flotilla finally arrived at the pier. On the dock stood another red flag with a sickle and hammer head, and that was the company waiting here. The commander of the first company is Hua Xiongmao, and the political commissar is Xu Dian. The combination of this martial artist and a Japanese law student made Chai Qingguo dislike it very much. However, there is no way to do this, and the members of the People's Party are quite highly educated. For example, three of the four platoon commanders in the second company are undergraduates. The leader of the second platoon is also a Japanese student Niichiro Kuroshima. There are Japanese-born soldiers in the squadron, which is estimated to be a first among the squadrons in this era.
As soon as the ship docked, the unloading of the ship began. The soldiers, led by the cadres, unloaded the ship's supplies. Not only did Yilian come to greet him, but also many comrades from the county order party member Shang Yuan and the county yamen. Seeing Shang Yuan approaching quickly, Chai Qingguo saluted Shang Yuan with a formal military salute. Nominally, this insurance regiment belongs to the team in the county, and Shang Yuan, as Chai Qingguo's superior, is qualified to accept Chai Qingguo's salute. When Chai Qingguo put down his right arm, Shang Yuan had already stepped forward and stretched out his right hand first. The hands of the two BJP cadres were already clasped together.
Chen Ke demanded that the use of Manchu etiquette should not be allowed among the comrades of the People's Party in Fengtai County, and that bowing and bowing should be abolished. Military personnel use military salutes, and civilian cadres use handshake etiquette. In the plan, the formal declaration of war on the Manchus was only a matter of one or two years, and there was no need for their own comrades to bow down in order to hide their eyes, which would leave a pimple in their hearts. It is not possible to adopt an equal model now, which will have a very bad impact on the future of Shang Yuan and others.
"Comrades have worked hard." Shang Yuan's demeanor and voice are always serious and serious, and such an attitude unexpectedly makes everyone feel not annoying.
"The grain has arrived, please Comrade Shang Yuan to check it." Chai Qingguo also said very seriously. For Manchu officials, Chai Qingguo did not have any good feelings. But since Shang Yuan spoke to him enthusiastically and seriously, this kind of equality and respect still made Chai Qingguo very comfortable.
There were also some local gentry who came with Shang Yuan, and they didn't understand when they saw Chai Qingguo and Shang Yuan adopting such strange etiquette with each other. However, Shang Yuan's meaning is naturally clear to these people, and this is to make it clear that the status of the "insurance group" is publicly recognized by Shang Yuan County, the "Baili Hou". Moreover, Chai Qingguo also transported urgently needed materials, which alone greatly improved Chai Qingguo's status in their hearts. So they also greeted Chai Qingguo with laughter and the etiquette of arching their hands. Being complimented like this by these high-ranking gentry on weekdays, Chai Qingguo was still very happy in his heart.
A few small officials from the People's Party began to count the supplies and make a register. Shang Yuan personally waited for the results at the dock. There are really many people and great strength, and hundreds of people quickly transported the supplies off the ship. Help the civil department to count and register the materials. Before dark, the supplies had been loaded onto the cart and transported to the warehouse under the escort of a company.
"Comrades, now start sweeping the docks and scrubbing the decks." He Zudao shouted.
This is the rule of the BJP, and after using a public place, it must be cleaned up. Requisitioned vessels must also be cleaned immediately after use. Chen Ke did not have no plans to form a navy. The rules of the navy are so big that people with a little modern knowledge know them, so Chen Ke set such a charter.
In these actions of the troops, the officers must take the lead. After arranging the work, He Zudao took Chai Qingguo and jumped on the first boat with tools and began to sweep and wipe. Now that the officers have begun to do it, the soldiers of the second company no longer refuse. In such an atmosphere, laziness will be despised by everyone, rather than supported by everyone.
In addition to cleaning the ships he was responsible for, He Zudao also checked the cleaning of other ships. Only then was a platoon of defending ships left, and the rest of the troops temporarily returned to their temporary positions near Fengtai County.
"The water has receded quite a bit."
"yes, the last time we cleaned the dock, the water was still level with the dock."
As the soldiers walked, they said, "It looks like the water is going to recede." So how do you ship things back? If the water is smaller, you can't walk such a big boat on the river, right? ”
When Fengtai County was established in the tenth year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1732), the county administration office was divided into the same city as Shouzhou (now Shou County). That is, the west and south gates of Shouzhou City belong to the state, the north gate belongs to Fengtai County, and the east gate is divided into states and counties. In the second year of Tongzhi (A.D. 1863), the county was moved to Xia Cai in winter, and Xia Cai was renamed Fengtai, which was under the jurisdiction of Fengyang Prefecture.
It is located in the south of the Huaibei Plain, with low terrain, most of which are below 25 meters above sea level. The Huai River, the Xiqi River, the Yongxing River, and the Cihuai New River pass through. The lakes include Jiaogang Lake, Chengbei Lake, Huajia Lake, Jigou Lake and so on. It is adjacent to Huaiyuan in the east, Yingshang in the west, Mengcheng in the north, Shouzhou in the south, and Fuyang in the northwest. It is 60 kilometers wide from east to west and 90 kilometers long from north to south. The distance between the counties is 75 kilometers away from Dingyuan, 60 kilometers away from Yingshang, 15 kilometers away from Shouzhou, 120 kilometers away from Fuyang, and 75 kilometers away from Mengcheng.
The rivers in Fengtai County are not very suitable for boating, but in the floods, the depth and width of the river have increased a lot, and under such conditions, large canopy boats can drive here. Most of the comrades' families are in the local area, and the purpose of transporting supplies and food is to save the lives of their families. If it weren't for such a reason, the fighters wouldn't have worked so hard and wouldn't have cared so much. Anhui has always had many disasters, especially floods. The fighters have experienced floods and floods. Therefore, special attention is paid to the issue of grain transportation.
"Commissar. Are we going to carry the grain again tomorrow? Finally, a warrior summoned up the courage to ask.
"If you leave tomorrow, will you be able to stand it physically?" He Zudao asked.
Hearing He Zudao's concerned question, the soldier hurriedly replied, "There is absolutely no problem. We can sleep and rest well on the boat. Hurry up when you come back, and I guess you can transport some more. ”
The insurance group had already brought back food supplies once, and that time it was a rainy boat, and everyone was exhausted along the way. However, after joining the insurance regiment, the families of these fighters can eat in the "canteen" organized by the People's Party, and they will also have some assigned work to do. In this time of flooding, it is a life-saving errand. If it weren't for such treatment, there would not be so many people so enthusiastically participating in the "insurance group".
"Everyone, you have to go home and see your parents. This has also been out for a long time, so let's go back and say hello first. He Zudao said with a smile. This answer was drawn up by the BJP Party in the guidelines for answering various questions. The work must be done in a unified manner, and He Zudao himself does not have the power to decide how the troops should be mobilized.
"Yes." The warrior nodded yes, but obviously did not have the excited and happy look of the other warriors after hearing this, his face looked very embarrassed, and the look of wanting to speak again made He Zudao see the warrior's concerns. It seems that there must be something inconvenient to say in public. He Zudao silently kept this soldier in his heart, the job of the political commissar is to communicate. And it is necessary to communicate skillfully, and when you arrive at the temporary station, it is necessary to communicate privately with this fighter.
