The problem of resettlement of tens of thousands of people is never easy, and the problem of eating, drinking, and sleeping is enough to drive the logistics staff crazy. This is true even for the BJP's experienced logistics team. Qiu Jin suffered a head injury, but he was always on the front line of command, and fell ill after entering Anhui. Xu Xilin no longer wanted to ask to see Chen Ke this time, and he had to nominally take over the command.

The People's Party temporarily resettled these people from the western Zhejiang branch in Guangde County, and Li Shouxian, secretary of the Southern Anhui Prefectural Party Committee, personally went to Guangde County to meet with Xu Xilin. Not only Li Shouxian, but also the 412th Division of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army was stationed in Guangde County, and with the military hospital of this division, the wounded of the western branch of Zhejiang were fully treated.

Li Shouxian has only met Xu Xilin four or five times, and the last time they met was two years ago. When he saw this old revolutionary who had given Chen Ke his initial support, Li Shouxian had to be surprised by Xu Xilin's changes. Xu Xilin is 42 years old this year, 7 years older than Chen Ke, and the two were already middle-aged in the late Qing Dynasty. Li Shouxian just met Chen Ke not long ago, Chen Ke didn't look like much, just by looking at his appearance, everyone would believe that he was a vigorous twenty-six or seventeen-year-old young man. And Xu Xilin's gray hair, dull skin, and wrinkles on his face look no different from a fifty-year-old man.

"Mr. Xu, what are the problems in your life?" Li Shouxian opened his mouth to ask about these practical difficulties.

Xu Xilin was a little stunned, then shook his head and replied: "At this step, we are very grateful to your party for their help. ”

Li Shouxian replied: "If there is any difficulty, just say it." We will do our best to solve what we can solve. And Mr. Xu, if there is a war, Guangde County will not be safe, and I am afraid that we will have to continue to place everyone in a safer place at that time. We will let you know in advance. ”

The war was just the beginning, and Xu Xilin knew this. But even if he knew, he couldn't lift any spirits. The great changes he faced were too heavy a blow to Xu Xilin, and he never expected that the killing within the Liberation Society would reach such a cruel point. The western Zhejiang branch once controlled three counties plus Huzhou City, with a population of 580,000. The government, the military, and grassroots organizations of the western Zhejiang branch have a total of more than 14,000 people. A total of more than 20,000 people have been able to evacuate to Anhui. Among them, the number of people in the West Zhejiang branch organization is less than 4,000. Information received from various localities indicated that among those who could not be evacuated, all the members of the West Zhejiang Branch and the people close to the West Zhejiang Branch were slaughtered, and the death toll was only believed to exceed 60,000. One out of ten people in western Zhejiang was slaughtered, something that was previously unimaginable.

Xu Xilin felt that he had a nightmare, although it was Li Shouxian on the other side, Xu Xilin couldn't help but do one thing that he had been doing a lot recently, biting his thumb. The pain came from my thumb, but I couldn't wake up from this nightmare.

"Mr. Xu, I don't know what your Zhejiang West Branch plans for the future?" Although Li Shouxian saw that Xu Xilin was biting his fingers hard, he could only pretend not to see it. In fact, the People's Party's intelligence gathering efficiency surpassed that of Xu Xilin's, and as far as the People's Party knows, the Beiyang Army and Zhejiang localities killed nearly 100,000 people in western Zhejiang. It was not only the grassroots personnel of the western branch of Zhejiang who were killed, but also the more than 30,000 factory personnel in western Zhejiang, and nearly 50,000 members of the peasant association. The brutality of the Beiyang Army and the mountain landlords was much higher than Li Shouxian imagined.

"What else can you do with this? Everything is over, and the western Zhejiang branch can be said to have been uprooted. Tao Gong is no longer there, and there is no place for us in the whole of Zhejiang. Xu Xilin's voice can only be described as a discouraged thought.

After hearing this, Li Shouxian felt a little unhappy in his heart. Xu Xilin reached the point where he was rescued by the People's Party, and he still refused to recognize the reality that he was no longer a member of the Liberation Association, but after thinking about it, if Li Shouxian was so brutally expelled by the People's Party, I am afraid that his performance would not be as good as Xu Xilin. But on second thought, there is simply no force in the BJP that has policies that confront the Party Central Committee and that use its own troops. The situation of the Zhejiang branch of the Liberation Society will definitely not arise in the People's Party.

Sighing slightly, Li Shouxian said, "Mr. Xu, the top priority is to convene a meeting of your branch as soon as possible and sort out what has happened. If you are so depressed, how can you be worthy of those comrades who have sacrificed? ”

If the BJP is in such a difficult situation, why is this situation happening? How do you solve the problem at hand? Party organizations at all levels have long held meetings to discuss the matter. According to the principle of the BJP organization, as long as there are three party members in one place, a party group must be formed, and the action needs to be discussed. One of the main points emphasized in the BJP's rectification campaign was the "fight against laziness." Chen Ke repeatedly emphasized in the party, "If you don't advance against the current, you will retreat, and this is the era we are facing." This is the characteristic of the industrial age, and we can only survive if we keep moving forward! Comrades, in the process of continuous advancement, it is most normal to encounter difficulties, and it is in the midst of these difficulties that our People's Party has grown up. ”

Li Shouxian is well aware of what Chen Ke said, and he is also a "veteran cadre"; since the time of the flood in Anhui, he has followed Chen Ke with his comrades to face all kinds of difficulties, and every time he overcame a hardship, the revolutionary cause of the People's Party has been able to achieve an almost leap and bound. The enemies and competitors of the BJP are often not defeated by the BJP, but fall in the face of difficulties themselves. Looking at Xu Xilin's current situation alone, the West Zhejiang Branch has also entered the countdown to be completely eliminated.

But Xu Xilin was obviously trapped in a mood of self-pity and couldn't extricate himself, and Li Shouxian persuaded him to leave. There are also party members and cadres in the People's Party base areas who have collapsed after suffering setbacks, and the results of these people have all ended in dismissal.

After bidding farewell to Xu Xilin, Li Shouxian did not leave Guangde County, he went to find Ji Ye and other middle-level cadres of the Restoration Society. These young people have been trained by the BJP, and they know how to "fight against laziness". The Zhejiang West Branch also insisted that the armed forces should be labor teams, propaganda teams, and work teams. Ji Ye is mainly responsible for the reorganization of the troops, and his current job is nothing more than maintaining order.

When Li Shouxian's figure appeared in Ji Ye's field of vision, Ji Ye was discussing the traffic command work with his comrades. The premise of the so-called maintenance of order is that order can be maintained. It takes a lot of time to make people understand that there is traffic order, which in itself requires a considerable amount of travel training. In terms of actual efficiency, if the camp of 10,000 people does not have a good travel order, the efficiency of supervision will be greatly reduced. The middle-level cadres of the western Zhejiang branch basically gathered in the camp to participate in this work.

In the days after arriving in Anhui, from time to time, some comrades did their work with red eyes, or simply choked silently, but no one stopped working. For these young people, the only way to keep working is to avoid being completely consumed by grief. And each of them howled and cried more than once on the way to retreat, and even had the intention of committing suicide. In such an emotion, no one cares even when they hear a greeting like "Hello everyone". Ji Ye and several others raised their heads with indifferent expressions, and several other comrades didn't even raise their heads.

"Brother Li?" Ji Ye asked in surprise, and then a strong sense of shame arose in her heart. In fact, Ji Ye is not Li Shouxian's subordinate, and the two sides belong to different political entities. But Ji Ye just can't help but be ashamed, as a classmate who has been educated in the same school, this shame is completely uncontrollable.

"Hello comrades! Comrades for your hard work! There was not the slightest reproach or accusation in Li Shouxian's attitude, and there was no difference from the usual cordial greetings. Not only that, but Li Shouxian also stepped forward to shake hands with the young comrades one by one. Including Ji Ye, many comrades felt that their tears were almost dry, but now they felt that tears moistened their eyes again.

Li Shouxian was moved by these young people who still insisted on working, and he felt very moved in his heart, and he patted the shoulders of the young comrades one by one, but he still calmly put forward his own opinions. "Comrades, now is not only about work, I suggest that you hurry up and convene a meeting to decide on the direction of the future."

"But Mr. Qiu has fallen ill, and Mr. Xu is like that...... "The young comrades of the western Zhejiang branch felt that it was a little difficult to realize Li Shouxian's proposal.

Li Shouxian waved his hand solemnly, "Comrades, the strength of any political party comes from the grassroots, and this basic understanding has been repeatedly emphasized in our party school cadres. If the upper echelons collapse, will our grassroots collapse? How many people are there in the upper echelons? In an organization, the more grassroots there are, the more people there are. ”

This is true, but the comrades of the western Zhejiang branch could not accept the way of meeting on their own without Xu Xilin for a while. Li Shouxian did not force it, and waited for the comrades of the western Zhejiang branch to finish arranging the transportation work. Li Shouxiancai said: "If you don't want to hold a plenary meeting now, then I would like to ask the comrades for a favor. Have you collected any information about the members of the Liberation Society? In particular, the list of people from other provinces other than Zhejiang? ”

This request surprised many people, "Secretary Li, the thing in front of you should be to hurry up and prepare for war, right?" What does this have to do with comrades in other provinces? ”

Ji Ye was relatively calm, and she asked suspiciously: "Secretary Li, do you always have to do it to comrades in other provinces?" ”

The comrades of the West Zhejiang Branch also felt quite surprised by this, "The comrades in other provinces have different views from our West Zhejiang Branch, so how can they do anything to them." ”

Li Shouxian didn't really believe that the Liberation Society would be mad to this extent, but Chen Ke's telegram told Li Shouxian about it, and Li Shouxian could never not believe Chen Ke's judgment. As far as we know, even if the comrades of the Liberation Association did not follow the mass line, some of them still realized that the land contradiction is the biggest contradiction in China at present. And it is always clear that the Liberation Society regards these people as enemies. ”

The yeoman revolutionaries were an important force in the Restoration Society, and the desire to curb the political views of the annexation was also one of the important ideas of the Restoration Society, and although the most radical part of these people joined the Zhexi Branch, the moderate political views against the annexation still had considerable supporters in the Restoration Society.

After listening to Li Shouxian's words, the young comrades of the West Zhejiang Branch looked at Li Shouxian with an incredible look and also looked at each other. What Li Shouxian said is a bit appalling, if it is really such a standard to define friend and foe, then this bloody storm is just the beginning.

"Why?" Ji Ye asked with a pale face.

"Because these people want the world of the propertied people, and when they have this opportunity, they will never let it go. Wolves just want to eat meat, that's the rule of wolves. Li Shouxian was very calm when he answered, and his heavy voice made people feel a little chill on his back.
