Chapter 297: The Grievance Conference (Part II)
If you want to say that at the beginning, there were still people who complained that they had a good performance and mixed into the soldiers' committee, as the activity unfolded, listening to the stories of the people around them, everyone was infected, in fact, in the troubled times of the Republic of China, there was no way, and how many were willing to be soldiers? Most of the soldiers were children of poor families, and some were from wealthy families, but most of them were military officers or civilians. It is rare to see a landlord's child in a grassroots company.
You said how poor your family was, how miserable my family was, how miserable your family was, you said that you had been beaten by your superiors under the pretext of something, and I said that I had not received my military salary until now.
Slowly, the cry replaced the voice of the narration, you cry and I cry, cry about my miserable past, cry about my parents and brothers, cry about my wife and children, cry about my own muddy years of nightmare.
Some of them were so emotional that they all fainted from crying. Zhao Gang hurriedly instructed people to stop complaining about the meeting, and asked everyone to go back to eat and rest before coming back.
The next day, the fighters found that the venue was different again, with a large wooden board standing on the left and right sides, with the words "Progress Window" written on one side and "Backward Column" on the other
Yang Erqiu asked suspiciously, "What is this for?" ”
Someone next to him said proudly, "Isn't this simple? Whoever wants to say it well, you have to praise, and if you don't say it well, criticize it, I said Niutou, you listened to it for a day yesterday, I don't believe that you are not bitter. ”
The one who was called the bull head was the bearded man, and he snorted and said, "I'm not bitter!" I don't care about you. ”
Another person smiled and said, "Our brother Niu used to be the king of the mountain, this is fragrant, spicy, where will it be bitter." ”
When Niu Tou heard this, he immediately wanted to hit someone, but when he saw the Eighth Route Army around him, he put down his hand angrily.
Zhao Gang walked up at this time and said, "Today, our grievance meeting will change the mode, yesterday everyone talked about their suffering, and today we will talk about the wrong things we have done." ”
"Wrong?" Everyone looked at each other in disunderstanding.
Zhao Gang nodded and said, "Yes." Wrong, the ancients said, 'If a person is not a sage, who can be without fault?' 'You used to be in the old society, in the old army, I believe that you have been more or less contaminated with some bad habits unconsciously, and now we have to look in the mirror to see how bad you really are and how many bad things you have done! Don't be afraid, our policy is to blame the past, what does that mean? In other words. As long as you explain the wrong things you did at this conference. In the future, it will be written off, and no one can use this as a handle to threaten you, and we will not punish you, but we will do it again in the future! Military discipline in the army is no joke. Okay, you can discuss it with each other, and if you want to say it, go to the recorder and say it, and the recorder will write it down as a proof for you to look in the mirror. ”
No one dared to speak. All are afraid that this is a trap.
Yang Erqiu looked at Zhao Gang, lowered his head and was about to be the first, but Niu Tou grabbed him and walked up and said, "Sir, I want to explain." ”
Zhao Gang immediately applauded and said, "Welcome." Welcome, you are not confessing, and we are not interrogating, just talking about the past wrongdoings. It's good not to do it again in the future. ”
Niu Tou nodded and said, "My name is Niu Tou, my parents died when I was a child, and I grew up eating hundreds of meals." No one cares about my food, so I can only steal and rob, but I can also practice the ability to fight. When I was seventeen years old, I was caught stealing, I killed him by mistake, and I fled to the mountains to become the king of the mountain. ”
Listening to the bull head's story, everyone fell into a trance, although some people knew that the bull head was once a bandit, but they didn't expect him to actually kill people to go up the mountain. Niu Tou continued, "After being a bandit for a while, I became a soldier, at the beginning I was a soldier in the Northwest Army, Feng Dashuai's troops, Feng Dashuai is good to people, but he has no money, he himself is often a vegetarian"
Niu Tou talked endlessly, from killing people by himself to being a bandit robbing the road, to robbing the spoils of his comrades, bullying the common people, all of them were said, the soldiers were sometimes angry, sometimes understanding, sometimes sighing, and when Niu Tou finished speaking, Niu Tou also cried into a tearful man.
"Sir, am I hopeless? I know I'm not a good person, but I want to be a good person, and I want to have a home," Niu Tou said crying.
Zhao Gang sighed, applauded and said, "Comrade Niutou said well, he wants to be a good person, the old society didn't give you a chance, because it was a cannibalistic society, if you weren't bad, you wouldn't have anything to eat, now you have a chance to see how you transform, record officer, post the matter of Niutou on the progress window, so that everyone can see a person's repentance and reform, Comrade Niutou, I hope you will be a good person in the future, and become a useful person to the people and comrades-in-arms again." ”
-- Five days later
A group of officers got out of the car and walked back to the barracks, chatting as they walked.
"Camp Commander Qian, look at it, I said it would be fine, but these red parties are really troublesome, there are so many tricks in one test, and the physical fitness test alone is one day." A strong man said with a smile.
Battalion Commander Qian nodded and said, "I see that the Red Party was preparing to use the exam to brush us down at the beginning, so we prepared so many subjects, but then again, the Red Party itself is also taking the exam, don't you see those people, one by one they are also the battalion commanders, I heard that the division commander and above are assessed in another place, and now there is the last democratic assessment left." Battalion Commander Liu, there is no problem with our battalion, right? ”
Battalion Commander Liu laughed and said, "I brought out the soldiers single-handedly, do you think there is a problem?" ”
As he spoke, the barracks were already in front of him, and suddenly a burst of chanting slogans rushed towards him.
A few people felt wrong when they heard it, and hurriedly walked into the barracks, but they saw a high platform that seemed to be being practiced, and there were two large wooden boards on both sides of the high platform, and countless things were densely pasted on the wooden boards. The high platform was full of people, all raising their arms and shouting.
"Down with Japanese imperialism! Down with European and American imperialism!! A man on the high platform shouted.
"Down with Japanese imperialism! Down with European and American imperialism!! The soldiers under the high platform also roared, and everyone's eyes were full of fanaticism.
"Down with feudalism, down with bureaucratic capitalism, and let the people be the masters of their own affairs!" Another roar rang out.
"Down with feudalism, down with bureaucratic capitalism, and let the people be the masters of their own affairs!" The soldiers below also shouted.
"What is this doing?" Battalion Commander Liu asked in a cold sweat, he suddenly felt that the troops in front of him no longer recognized.
At this time, Zhao Gang came over and said, "Camp Commander Liu, Camp Chief Qian." Hello wow, our Soldier Democracy Assessment will start soon, come with me. ”
Although several Jin Suijun officers felt that something was wrong, they heard that they still wanted to be evaluated democratically, and when they saw that there was no change in their heads, they settled down a little more, nodded and followed.
Huge boxes were laid out, and Zhao Gang stood on the high platform and said, "Comrades, the democratic evaluation has begun, and I know that many of you don't know how to read. So first of all, the recorder will tell you that the word represents that person, and everyone will make their own circles, and then throw them into the box, and we will first select the soldiers' committee of each company in the first round, and then vote on whether to trust the current squad leader, platoon leader, company commander, and even battalion commander and regiment commander. As long as half of the votes of no confidence are cast, this commander will step down and be removed from his post, that is, what kind of commander he wants. What kind of commander you want is completely your choice. Alright, let's get started. ”
Battalion Commander Liu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Political Commissar Zhao, this is not suitable, right?" It's all from a bunch of mud-legged people. I don't understand anything, I don't know a single one of the big characters, and you still want them to elect officers? Isn't that a joke? What if they choose some scum? ”
Zhao Gang said hehehe, "They all have to fight under the chosen people, and the soldiers won't joke." Moreover, this plan was approved by Chairman Yan and the Central Military Commission. How? Do you have any opinions? ”
Looking at the guards next to him who were already touching their guns, Battalion Commander Liu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How can it, agree." Agreed, I'm a hundred of them. ”
The election began, one after another notes were thrown into the box, one by one the box was opened again, under the supervision of the literate soldiers, the votes began to be counted, and when the soldiers' committee was elected, the officers did not feel anything, anyway, they were not elected officers, but when they saw the soldiers cheering after one person was selected, everyone suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Of course, cheers, this is the first time that the soldiers have chosen the person they want to manage themselves, although they are not commanders, but they will choose commanders later, right? The election of this soldiers' council is actually to give the soldiers confidence and show them with facts that their votes are useful and their power is real and reliable. These soldiers will naturally think seriously and weigh what kind of company commander and what kind of battalion commander they need.
Niu Tou suddenly stood up and said, "Everyone, I hope you will choose me as the company commander!" ”
Battalion Commander Liu's eyes widened, this bull head who has no heart and lungs every day and only eats and sleeps with women actually wants to be a company commander?
Niu Tou said, "I have done a lot of wrong things, many comrades have also been bullied by me, although I have been humble, I still want to say sorry, I want to be a company commander not because I want to be an officer, but I want to find an opportunity to serve everyone, do more things for the people, I am stupid, I can't speak, I just want to say, I am willing to fight the first rush, retreat the last to run, I am the last to eat, I am the last to sleep." ”
As if it was a start, one after another people came to the stage and said what they wanted to do and what they were going to do, and the officers next to them were dumbfounded, what does this mean? Before he stepped down, these mud legs are about to rebel? One by one, they are going to grab their own places?
After everyone finished speaking, another hour passed, and the officer evaluation began, and the nervousness of Battalion Commander Liu and the others was almost obvious to everyone, and they all had a handful of sweat in their hands.
"Liu Changshi one vote no trust" "Liu Changshi one vote no trust" "Liu Changshi one vote trust"
Listening to the sound of the votes, Camp Chief Liu swore that he had never felt so exciting in his life.
"To sum up, Liu Changshi has more votes of no confidence than votes of confidence, and he lost the election!!"
"Impossible!!" Battalion Commander Liu yelled at Zhao Gang, "You Red Party are tired of doing tricks, these are all soldiers I bringed, how can you not choose me?" Did you exchange your tickets? Well? I'm going to report you, I'm going to expose you!! ”
Zhao Gang looked at the more than ninety percent votes of no confidence painted on the wall, shook his head and said, "Soldiers, say it yourself, do you think this result is true or false." ”
All the warriors looked at each other for a moment and exclaimed, "Really! It's true! ”
"Liu Changshi not only loves to beat people, but also often takes women to the barracks for fun, how can such a commander lead us to war."
"Liu Changshi also buried alive two soldiers who didn't listen to him, they were all our comrades-in-arms, today you Liu Changshi can bury them alive, tomorrow you can bury us alive, how do you say let us believe you."
"And if you can fight, forget it, not only will you not fight, I also know that he has eyebrows with the Japanese, I once heard him say that he had Japanese friends when he was drunk, and it has nothing to do with him fighting back and forth this day, if it weren't for the fact that Chief Yan was not kind to him, he would have gone to the Japanese side a long time ago."
The corners of Liu Changshi's eyes were about to crack, and he hurriedly shouted, "You are talking nonsense, you are spewing blood!" You Zhao Gang! Is this what you call a democracy assessment? A group of mud-legged people choose a commander? It's a ridiculous joke! I'm going to see Chief Yan and reason! ”
Zhao Gang nodded and said, "Naturally, but just now, someone accused you of murder and communicating with the Japanese, and we also have to go to Chief Yan to ask, is this crime not a crime in the Jin Sui army?" ”
Liu Changshi's backbone was about to be broken, looking at the soldiers around him who dared to look at him angrily for the first time, and looking at Zhao Gang who was smiling, Liu Changshi knew in his heart that the loyal troops that the Jin Sui Army was proud of had been wiped out in just one week.
-- Taiyuan
Yan Xishan was surrounded by a group of officers and complained, one said that he was bullied by the soldiers' committee, and the other said that he was elected to step down, anyway, they were all saying that the Jin Sui Army was finished.
Yan Xishan stood up abruptly and shouted, "That's enough!" ”
Seeing Yan Xishan angry, everyone quieted down.
"What are you called one by one? What about crying and mourning? Is there a soldiers' council in your army? There are also in the Red Party troops, they are now in the process of reorganization, and they are also in the election, and they can fight and those who can't, since they are all the same, how do you want me to talk to the Red Party? Yan Xishan stomped his feet and said, "In the final analysis, you are not angry, are you?" Look at Fu Zuoyi, look at Zhang Guangbei, and other officers, aren't they all good, I also know that some of the former squad leaders and company commanders were selected as battalion commanders and regiment commanders. Why don't you say it? Aren't those people from our Jin Sui Army? ”
Saying that, Yan Xishan sat back in his position and said, "That's all for this matter, besides, this is not the final result, just let you go to the military academy to re-study, will you arrange it after you finish studying, okay, okay, let's disperse." ”
Listening to Yan Xishan speak like this, the others left helplessly. Yan Xishan sighed, of course he knew that this democracy evaluation was tired, first complaining and pulling everyone's hearts, and then talking about the dark side of the army, and then exposing each other, and after it was done, those who did not participate in the movement became outliers, except for some who had a really good foundation, they were all defeated, and the Jin Sui Army that he had worked hard to manage had almost collapsed in a week, even Lao Jiang's reorganization was not so ruthless.
Yan Xishan thought about it, but he had no choice but to hope that Sun Chu, Fu Zuoyi and others, who were still in high positions as army commanders, could firmly control the troops and fight for their own rights and interests.
Since then, the large-scale reorganization of Shanxi has completely kicked off, and the establishment of the soldiers' committee and the emergence of Red Party members in various units have slowly made the original Jin Sui Army a force that can be trusted. (To be continued.) )
