Sixty chapters

Generally speaking, Chen Ke's attitude at BJP meetings has always been the most intense. This was well felt by the early party members. When He Zudao first heard Chen Ke talk about "class oppression" at a party meeting, he was really shocked. According to Chen Ke, all the "exploiting classes" must be defeated. At that time, He Zudao thought that Chen Ke was really an incredible existence. But as he stayed in the party for longer and longer, He Zudao's attitude also changed constantly.

Chen Ke once said very seriously at the mobilization meeting of the People's Party to move into Anhui, "Comrades, if we think that we have read a few books and know a few broken characters, we should be the leaders of the people. This is a very wrong view. If we do not serve the people, then the people will definitely not follow us. ”

He Zudao felt that many comrades had forgotten these words, and because of Chen Ke's effective command, the People's Party had enough influence and appeal in more than four months. As a result, many comrades subconsciously took this for granted.

As a political cadre, He Zudao knows best the psychological changes of ordinary soldiers. Many of these new local comrades even thought at first that the BJP was armed with bandits from other places. The attitude of cooperation is "negative enough". The reason they participate is simply because they have food after joining the insurance group. It was only after the insurance regiment strongly intervened in the local disaster relief activities under the command of Chen Ke that the masses changed their understanding of the People's Party. In various disaster relief activities, the masses showed great obedience and support. But this support is not for the BJP, but for the elders of their hometowns who have been caught up in natural disasters. If the comrades do not have a deep understanding of this, the support of the people is not unlimited.

While he was doing inner reflection, He Zudao heard Chen Ke ask: "Comrade Chai Qingguo, what do you think of the reactionary masses?" ”

Chai Qingguo has always been very unconvinced by Chen Ke, He Zudao and Chai Qingguo set up a team together, he knew very well that Chai Qingguo originally thought that after arriving in Anhui, he would "provoke the banner and kill the Quartet". Chai Qingguo has always been extremely impatient with complicated political work. The problem is that Chai Qingguo is very "from other provinces", his accent is different from that of Anhui, and the traditional set of "buddy righteousness" is completely useless in Anhui. So Chai Qingguo was disappointed in this. Chen Ke himself still has some expectations for Chai Qingguo, after all, the People's Party needs more military talents at this stage. Moreover, after all, Chai Qingguo is from the countryside, Chen Ke thinks that Chai Qingguo will have more feelings for the peasant class.

Listening to Chen Ke asking Chai Qingguo to speak by name, He Zudao, who was in the team with Chai Qingguo, paid more attention.

"I think we still have to eat big food." Chai Qingguo replied. Hearing this answer, He Zudao's face sank slightly. At today's meeting, Chen Ke's proposal was very clear: the old land system in Fengtai County must be destroyed. What is a big eater? After the water recedes, the big households will still exist, and the old order in Fengtai County will continue to operate.

"There is no urgency to kill the landlord in an all-round way, after all, everyone is a villager, and many big households also have some kindness to everyone. What will the people think of all these big landlords if they are killed? Many of these big families are clan patriarchs, as the saying goes, there are no four fingers close, I don't think everyone is willing to. Chai Qingguo actually held the theory of safety. And such an attitude actually made many people nod slightly.

"Comrade Yuwen Badu, I want to ask you if the situation in the village where you are located is as Comrade Chai Qingguo said." Chen Ke continued to roll call. Chen Ke was also mentally prepared for this mobilization. This meeting will definitely not end anytime soon. At the beginning of the meeting, Chen Ke explained his plan in detail to the comrades, and now the collision of different lines within the party has just begun.

Yuwen Ba didn't expect Chen Ke to actually name himself, he had not been a member of the People's Party for a long time, and he did not speak boldly. And Yuwen Badu is also a smart person, he can stand up to Chen Ke to name himself, the purpose is to prove that Chai Qingguo's statement is wrong. This kind of offending role is not too willing to be played. "I don't know much, and I can't say for sure." Yuwen Badu said a little no.

"Then let me ask a few questions, first, how many landlords in your village have hired tenant farmers for a long time. How much is the ground rent. ”

"Landlords, there are five or six. The ground rent is sixty percent. Yuwen Badu said with some trepidation.

"I don't care if they're good or bad, have they cut their rent in a disaster year?"

"This, this, as far as I know. You can pay less in the year of the catastrophe, but you will need more in the second year. Yuwen Batu's answer was even more trembling.

"Every time there is a disaster year, do the landlords take the opportunity to seize other people's land?" Chen Ke continued to ask. This is just common sense, if you don't take advantage of the disaster year when ordinary people can't survive to "buy land", who will sell their land if they treat the land as their own*?

Chen Ke is pressing forward step by step, Yuwenba knows what Chen Ke means, and because he knows Chen Ke's meaning very well, Yuwenba is finally anxious, "Mr. Chen, you have to fight like this." Those big landlords have their own fences, and in northern Anhui, decent landlords have their own fences. Generally their own people guard the fence, some of them have guns, and now some of our insurance team have guns and food, I heard that there are already people in the vicinity who are inciting people in the local village, not to mention that we eat their big households, they are ready to eat our big households in tandem. ”

As soon as these words came out, it can be said that everyone was shocked. The air in the room immediately became solemn, except for Chen Ke, the comrades looked at each other, and everyone did not expect that they had become "fat sheep". Chai Qingguo had just come back today, and although he did not advocate the complete elimination of the landlords, when he heard that some landlords had actually hit him with the idea, he was furious. Chai Qingguo stood up suddenly, took a few steps in front of Yuwen Badu and roared: "Which person who is not long-sighted dares to do something to grandpa?" ”

"Comrade Chai Qingguo, you sit back in your seat for me. Be disciplined in meetings. Chen Ke immediately shouted.

"People are going to fight, what kind of discipline are you talking about?" Chai Qingguo was already furious at this time, "These ungrateful things, the food we worked so hard to transport is just to save the people, and these people are actually coming to beat us." ”

"If those who have benefited from us are ungrateful, how did Comrade Yuwen Badu get the news? Haven't you received news from the people? Will the landlords who are ready to do something to us give us a message? Chen Ke said with a smile. Although this news was heard for the first time, Chen Ke was not surprised at all.

Listening to Chen Ke's words, Chai Qingguo angrily kicked the anxious Yuwen Badu, and then returned to his seat with a snort.

"Don't worry, the water hasn't receded yet, and these people can't fight it now. I would like to ask you a question, how can these landlords incite the people to follow them to fight us? Chen Ke felt that Yuwen Badu was really an interesting guy, he didn't instigate Yuwen Badu to throw out such a fierce material at all, in fact, he was a little worried that Yuwen Badu would support Chai Qingguo's "gradual theory", but he didn't expect Yuwen Badu to do countless times better than Chen Ke expected.

Yuwenba had only gotten the news yesterday, and he was a little unsure whether he should say it or not. This news is still uncertain, but I didn't expect to be forced by Chen Ke to speak today, so he said it in a ghostly way. Now he was really nervous, and when he heard Chen Ke ask such a question, Yuwen Badu simply stood up and prepared to tell everything he knew. He felt that if he didn't, he really couldn't feel at ease.

Seeing Yuwen Badu get up, Chen Ke raised his left hand, and his raised index finger nodded slightly in the air, "Comrade Yuwen Badu, you sit down first, I don't want you to speak now." ”

"But Mr. Chen......" Yuwenba said anxiously.

"Don't call me Mr. Chen, there is no gentleman in the party. Call me Comrade Chen Ke. Chen Ke interrupted Yuwen Batu again, "Comrade Yuwen Badu, everyone believes in you. If I didn't believe you, Comrade Chai Qingguo wouldn't be in such a hurry. Are you right? If he doesn't believe you, he will ask you where you heard about it first, instead of standing up so annoyed and scolding your mother. Chen Ke laughed out loud after finishing speaking, and the hearty laughter diluted the tension in the room a little.

Yuwen Badu saw that Chen Ke's attitude was firm, and these words did soothe Yuwen Badu's mood. Yuwen Badu is no different from an ordinary "whistleblower", since he said the beginning, the rest of the things can't be hidden in his heart at all. It seems that if you don't say it, you can't feel at ease, and you can't get everyone's trust. Now that he has received the trust of Chen Ke, the leader of the People's Party, on his loyalty, Yuwenba feels relieved. He obeyed Chen Ke's order and sat back on the stool.

"Wen Qing, why don't you listen to Comrade Yuwen Badu to introduce the situation." As a female party member, You Yu has not spoken much. Seeing that Chen Ke did not look in a hurry at all, and the other comrades were either nervous or angry, or angry and nervous, You Wei simply spoke. You Gou himself is very supportive of Chen Ke, and with his understanding of Chen Ke, You Gou believes that it is necessary to guide the meeting in the direction that Chen Ke can control.

"The landlords are armed with a rabble, and if we attack them, it may be a little troublesome. But they pulled people out to fight us, and they couldn't. What worries me is not how to get rid of the landlords' armed forces, but whether we will have to work in the countryside in the future if we kill and injure a large number of people who have been held hostage by the landlords' armed forces. So we need to know how the landlords held the people hostage. We must divide the people from the landlords. ”

Lu Huitian raised his hand to speak, and after getting Chen Ke's consent, Lu Huitian stood up. There was a sense of confusion and confusion in his voice, "Comrade Chen Ke, why are the people beating us?" Lu Huitian didn't understand this question.

"After the great flood, the people will eat. This year's heavy rains began in late spring and early summer. It's been almost two months. The end of spring and the beginning of summer are originally the days when there is no harvest of green and yellow, and last year's grain stocks are about to be eaten up, and this year's new grain has not yet grown, and it is the day when the grain is at least. When this flood comes, there will be no food to eat. You can't wait to starve to death. Chen Ke explained.

Listening to Lu Huitian's question, there is also Chen Ke's answer. He Zudao only felt very disappointed with the group of comrades represented by Lu Huitian. Chen Ke said this question once at the beginning of the meeting when he analyzed the recent situation, and Lu Huitian asked this question now not because he didn't understand it at the time, but because he didn't realize the bad situation in Fengtai County at the beginning.

Since he started his work in Anhui, He Zudao's greatest feeling was not the fierceness and firmness of Chen Ke's revolutionary attitude, but the weakness shown by many comrades in his work. Although before coming to Anhui, most of the comrades in the party had a high-spirited "ambition to clarify the world." However, He Zudao felt that after arriving in Anhui, if there was no command from Chen Ke, the comrades would have been overwhelmed by the difficulties that came.

They traveled thousands of miles to Anhui, from the formation of the People's Party's armed forces "Insurance Corps" to the sudden encounter with this flood. The person in charge of the command is Chen Ke. He Zudao knew very well that if it were just himself or other comrades, in the face of difficulties again and again, I was afraid that everyone would have been helpless a long time ago, and the People's Party would probably have scattered in the face of these difficulties. As for turning disadvantages into advantages, we should seize every opportunity to continuously increase the influence of the People's Party, an external force, in Fengtai County. Don't even think about it.

Chen Ke almost single-handedly dragged everyone forward. Although in every meeting, Chen Ke tried to mobilize and encourage comrades. And the comrades really worked hard, but in the end, all everyone could do was obey Chen Ke's arrangement. This is already good, but it is a team of hundreds of people gathered, and after working effectively for so long, everyone finally has some confidence and habits. If you work hard for a few months, you still have the same idea as before. The strength of the People's Party has not developed at all, and Chen Ke will not be able to hold it down. However, when they learned that there were other local landlords who were fighting against the BJP by force, many comrades were still frightened. He Zudao took a deep breath, now he must not have the slightest fear. In the face of this kind of thing, He Zudao's judgment is very simple, he must follow Chen Ke closely. Only in this way can there be a way out.
