Chapter 68
If someone can see the world from an omniscient and omnipotent perspective, they can definitely see a lot of very interesting things. For example, the children of the Zhang family boarded the ship with Zhang Youliang's papers, and Hua Xiongmao and Xu Dian also boarded the ship of the insurance group almost at the same time, and the two parties set off from Yuezhangji and the county seat respectively, with the goal of the county seat and Yuezhangji.
The two youths of the first company of the insurance regiment sat down very casually in the bow of the big Upong, now it was a tailwind, the sails behind it ate the wind, and the red sickle and hammerhead flag of the People's Party in the bow of the boat only swayed gently in the wind.
"Brother Zhenglan, how did you think of making a revolution?" Although Xu Dian is the political commissar of Yilian, he has never talked much with Hua Xiongmao. Xu Dian, who studied law, already thought that his thinking was quite delicate, but he never knew that the real revolutionary work was so complicated. And every time you get used to the intensity of work, more work will come over. I was able to go to Yuezhangji with Hua Xiongmao today, the weather was very good, and there were not many things on the road. Xu Dian was eager to chat with Hua Xiongmao.
"Sooner or later, there will be a revolution in this world, and after meeting Wen Qing, I will follow him and start working." Hua Xiongmao has always answered this question in this way.
"Brother Zhenglan, do you think we can make a revolution?" Somehow, Xu Dian said what was in his heart.
"I'm afraid that Yue Zhangji, is that Zhang Youliang rude to us?" Hua Xiongmao asked.
Xu Dian just felt a kind of uneasiness in his heart, and he hadn't thought about where this uneasiness came from. was suddenly asked by Hua Xiongmao, and Xu Dian couldn't answer.
"Political Commissar Xu, what do you think of Wen Qing." Hua Xiongmao didn't mean to laugh at Xu Dian at all, he really wanted to enlighten Xu Dian.
"Wen Qing is indeed very capable. There is no one else I have ever met. Xu Dian replied. Everyone knows that Hua Xiongmao is Chen Ke's hardcore, so Xu Dian is a little conservative.
"You don't have to fool me with this, Wen Qing is a very well-behaved person, and even a little mean. I decided to follow him, because Wenqing never did things for his own selfish interests. Hua Xiongmao answered Xu Dian's previous question.
"It's not possible to be mean and unkind, Wen Qing always does the most. If you want to be mean, he is the meanest to himself. This is Xu Dian's sincere words, and he admires Chen Ke's self-discipline very much.
"Wen Qing's heart is just for the revolution, to save the Chinese people. Although I haven't fully understood his reasoning, I can be sure of this. By the way, Commissar Xu, why do you want to make a revolution? ”
"I, ah, I hope that China can rise and not be bullied by foreigners. That's why I want a revolution. After we met Wen Qing in Beijing, we felt that what he said about industrialization was very reasonable, so we followed him to Anhui. ”
"The people are so miserable, they are bullied all day long." Hua Xiongmao replied.
"Yes, in addition to being bullied by the government and landlords, the common people are also bullied by foreigners. It is because China is weak, and when China is strong, we must beat foreign devils out of China so that they can no longer bully the Chinese. Xu Dian was angry when he talked about foreigners.
Hua Xiongmao tentatively continued to ask: "Political Commissar Xu, who do you think is more hateful, the Manchus or the foreign devils?" ”
"It's just as hateful. The foreign devils are arrogant and unreasonable, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty lost power and humiliated the country, I am afraid that it is even more hateful. Xu Dian was indignant.
"If the people can become stronger, then we will definitely be able to beat the foreign devils out of China." Hua Xiongmao persuaded hard. In the people's revolution, the first thing to liberate is the people, and only when the people are liberated can China be liberated. This is the concept that the old party members have been instilled the most by Chen Ke. But Hua Xiongmao found that Chen Ke had much less education for the new party members in this regard. Of course, Hua Xiongmao thinks that this may be his own delusion. So he didn't want to say much about it.
"What do you say, people? You have to have a competent government to save the people. Xu Dian's point of view is actually the attitude of a considerable number of people in the People's Party. Especially among party members with high academic backgrounds, this attitude is actually considered the mainstream. Of course, Shang Yuan never said that. The reason why Xu Dian came to Anhui is that he admires Shang Yuan very much, and now Shang Yuan looks a little "unsociable" with everyone, and Xu Dian is quite surprised by this situation.
Xu Dian did not know that Chen Ke and Shang Yuan had already reached a consensus on the issue of purging the party, and both of them believed that the People's Party must take the liberation of the people as its core ideology. However, the power of the people has not been demonstrated at all, and if we blindly emphasize this issue, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. Therefore, only old party members such as Hua Xiongmao can feel some subtle changes in Chen Ke.
Hua Xiongmao doesn't like to talk about revolution very much, which does not mean that his understanding of revolution is worse than that of Xu Dian. Even if Chen Ke had a plan to purge him, this kind of calculation would definitely not be able to be said now. The contradictions in the party's line are far from the point where it is necessary to look at the end of the day. So Hua Xiongmao didn't know about Chen Ke's plan. What Hua Xiongmao could feel was the subtle difference between these new party members and the old party members. The old party members have been following Chen Ke for a long time, and they have all learned the attitude of "serving the people" with Chen Ke. In the People's Party and the Insurance Corps, officers and cadres must serve their juniors and soldiers. That's what I said, but in fact it's all old party members who can do it. Among the new party members and cadres, at most, they treat their subordinates and soldiers equally.
Now that it has been a few months since the founding of the army, Hua Xiongmao fully understands why Chen Ke wants to establish a soldiers' committee, and if it were not for the checks and balances and confrontation of the soldiers' committee, if it were not for the fact that these new party members are all outsiders, and because Chen Ke and the old party members have suppressed them strongly, I am afraid that Chen Ke's army building policy of "officers and soldiers are integrated and treated the same" would have gone out of shape long ago. Since he has teamed up with Xu Dian, Hua Xiongmao hopes that Xu Electric can lead by example.
The political commissar is a political representative, and Xu Dian is not self-disciplined enough, but the kind of superior taste revealed in his bones is completely different from Chen Ke's strict requirements for soldiers. This can be seen from the attitude of the soldiers towards the two, when Chen Ke passed by the soldiers, the soldiers were respectful, and in order to satisfy the beloved Chen Ke battalion commander, the soldiers showed a more well-behaved appearance. And when Xu Dian passed by the soldiers, the soldiers showed some rules in order to avoid Xu Dian's reproach. Hua Xiongmao did not think that Xu Dian was more appealing in the army. But Hua Xiongmao himself is not very good at words, so although he knows this in his heart, he doesn't know how to say it to Xu Dian.
After thinking about it, Hua Xiongmao said, "Political Commissar Xu, do you think I am very loyal to Wenqing?" ”
"Huh." Xu Dian just smiled at the question and didn't answer it. Now the People's Party is recognized as Chen Ke's four major irons, Hua Xiongmao, Shang Yuan, You Gui, and He Zudao. Hua Xiongmao ranked first. Xu Dian had heard that the three important cadres outside, Qi Huishen, Chen Tianhua, and Wu Xingchen, were also loyal to Chen Ke. As Chen Ke's hardcore, Hua Xiongmao said this, naturally to win people's hearts for Chen. Xu Dian didn't want to be loyal to anyone, although he didn't hate Chen Ke at all, and he also recognized Chen Ke's ability, but it was completely impossible for him to bend his knees to Chen Ke.
"I am loyal to Wenqing, and I am loyal to Wenqing's way of doing things. In my opinion, what Wen Qing wants everyone to do is not wrong at all. Hua Xiongmao felt that he had reached the limit, and it would be inappropriate to say more.
After hearing this, Xu Dian not only didn't get angry, but nodded, "Wen Qing is indeed very unusual. Seriously, if I were to encounter this flood, I would be helpless. There can always find a way like Wen Qing. ”
Hearing this, Hua Xiongmao really couldn't say anything more. Xu Dian's words are so high-sounding, which is completely in line with the path of the People's Party in pursuing justice. If Hua Xiongmao objected again, it would seem that he was not authentic. In fact, Hua Xiongmao never thought that his loyalty to Chen Ke was different from that of others. No one has discussed this with him. After talking to Xu Dian for a while, he figured it out a little. For Xu Dian and others, only after they completely or basically agree with Chen Ke's ideas, will they obey orders and listen to commands. And Hua Xiongmao first obeyed the order and listened to the command, and then considered whether Chen Ke's order could be better executed. As for whether Chen Ke was right or not, Hua Xiongmao didn't care too much.
After thinking about this, Hua Xiongmao suddenly wondered, when did he start to be so obedient to Chen Ke? After thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up the investigation of this matter. "Political Commissar Xu, let's sort out how to negotiate with Zhang Youliang this time." Hua Xiongmao said.
Zhang Youliang learned that Hua Xiongmao had come again this time, and that there were two big black boats, and he immediately became alert. Last time, the boat of the insurance group was not very large, and there was only one. What exactly does the insurance group that came with great fanfare mean this time? Could it be that he knew that he had already sent someone to the county to complain, so he came to demonstrate that he couldn't do it?
But after thinking about it, the fence has been very tightly guarded recently, and people are not allowed to enter and exit at will. It shouldn't be a problem to think about it. And the last time the insurance group spoke, it was at this time to come to Yue Zhangji. It seems that this group of thieves and bandits are not giving up.
The more critical the moment, the more timid it must be, and this is the experience that Zhang Youliang has drawn from the battlefield. He had people come in with the insurance team. It's too embarrassing for even the people of the insurance group to dare to see it, and at this time, it is just necessary to intimidate these little thieves who don't have long eyes.
It didn't take long for the dog to go out, so he brought two people in. The man in front of him was tall, beautiful, and had braided hair. The man in the back, of medium stature, looks quite sturdy. And this person turned out to be a fake foreign devil with short hair. The two of them behaved calmly and calmly, and there was no bandit-like air in their expressions.
After seeing Zhang Youliang, the person in front said loudly: "Below is the commander of the first company of the insurance regiment, and the Wuwu of Shaoxing Mansion is Hua Xiongmao. Met Mr. Zhang. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Youliang felt that he had heard it wrong. was about to ask a question, when he heard the young man behind him say: "Below is the political commissar of the first company of the insurance regiment, Xu Dian, a graduate of the law department of the University of Tokyo, Japan. Met Mr. Zhang. ”
Although the two of them were polite, they simply nodded their heads. Not even a bow. According to the current official system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Hua Xiongmao is a juren, and Xu Dian is a university undergraduate recognized by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which is equivalent to a Jinshi background. Both of them are meritorious people, and there is no need to bow to Zhang Youliang, the rich man.
Although Zhang Youliang is a landlord, he is not a dumpling. He could understand the words used by these two people to protect themselves, and learned the identities of these two people, one was from Wuju and the other was a foreign student. It really scared the hell out of him. In an instant, Zhang Youliang finally understood why the county order was polite to the insurance group. If what these two people said was right, given their backgrounds, the county order couldn't move these two people at all. Zhang Youliang, who was originally arrogant, although his face was still calm, his heart was already a little shaken.
