Section 416 What is the masses of the people?
"you, old ......" Lin Guomin raised his fist and wanted to give the old man in front of him a hard time, who made him cough when he drank water just now, and as a result, he sprayed the water droplets on his body at once, but as soon as he lifted half of it, he remembered that Chief Du was still looking at it, so he hurriedly put it down.
This is because when Chief Huang first pulled up the team, he had already explained to them all kinds of organizational disciplines, such as the unanimity of officers and soldiers, the commanders should love the soldiers, and the soldiers should respect the commanders, and then they should unite and help each other, share weal and woe, practice democratic centralism with leadership, and establish conscious discipline.
In addition, there is also the principle of "not mistreating prisoners," which is also an important part of the "three major disciplines and eight points of attention" set by the chief, and the chief's requirements for the political work of this unit require them to strictly implement the policy of leniency for prisoners, and in the future, they will not kill any enemy officers and soldiers who lay down their arms, not insult their dignity, and not confiscate their personal property; It is also necessary to strengthen the interrogation, management and education of prisoners, to treat the sick and wounded, and to register, bury and mark prisoners after they die.
To be honest, this makes Lin Guomin very incomprehensible, how can there be such a required army in this world, you must know that although it is not the end of the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty army at this time has already begun to corrupt and degenerate, like the powerful officers in the guard not only forced the military households to farm for them, but also used them as slaves.
In addition, the officers at all levels have the habit of eating military salaries, and the imperial court is only responsible for the supply of the soldiers themselves, and the family members are also military households but do not pull out a dime, so the actual status of military households is worse than that of tenants, so when they encounter a famine year, they will naturally have a large number of fleeing military households.
Although it was flattered, it was certainly a good thing, because the chief stipulated that the commander was not allowed to beat and scold the soldiers, and the soldiers had the freedom to meet and speak, and a soldiers' committee was established to supervise and evaluate the evaluation, supervise and criticize the commanders. And when Chief Huang was training, he led by example, ate the same meals as them, and wore the same camouflage uniform, and when he arrived at Chief Hu, he lived in the same house as them. At the same time, when the two leaders were in a meeting, they also let everyone speak freely, and those who spoke were warm and encouraging.
Even if he violated the general discipline, he was only imprisoned in a swarthy confinement room and thought about it, unlike what Chief Du said at the meeting, if it was the army of the imperial court, in addition to the military sticks, there were also whipping, and "piercing the ears", that is, piercing the ears of the soldiers with arrows and marching in the barracks.
Commander Du's "bittersweet reminiscences" at the company meeting naturally made the soldiers even more "grateful" to the "magnanimity" of the leaders.
Lin Guomin still remembers the first time he heard the chief talk about the "three disciplines and eight points of attention", at that time he had already changed from the Jiang family's Zhuang Ding to the chief's soldier for a month, and his name had also changed from the original Lin Tieniu to Lin Guomin.
On that day at the training ground, the soldiers of their eight platoons lined up neatly, and behind them were small foldable benches, and the company meetings of the chiefs were held in the open air at all times except for rainy days.
The officer on duty shouted loudly, "Stand upright...... At ease...... Sit down ......"
They all sat down in unison.
Then they heard the chief say from there, "Today, I want to tell you about the iron discipline of our troops, the 'three major disciplines and eight points of attention,' and everyone must listen carefully and clearly. ”
The fact of "three disciplines and eight attentions" has been said by Huang Shi a long time ago, but at that time there were only a dozen people under him, unlike now it has expanded to more than eighty people, so discipline has to be repeated.
As soon as they heard the chief say this, the soldiers quickly pricked up their ears, took out their notebooks and pens from the satchels they were carrying, spread them flat on their knees, and then nervously looked at Huangshi, who was sitting behind the table in front of them.
"First, all actions must be under the command of the superiors;"
"Second, we can't take a stitch from the masses of the people;"
"Third, all seizures shall be returned to the public."
For the army at that time, except for the first point, which must be implemented, the other two points can be said to be basically impossible, and the soldier's salary was low, so it was impossible for them to go to the street without harming the stall vendors, and it was impossible not to eat and take cards. At the same time, being a soldier and fighting a war is to make a fortune, as the saying goes, it is to rob money, food, and women, how can it be that all the seizures must be returned to the public, and even some generals at that time would slaughter the city for the sake of morale, and would not seal the knife for a few days.
Of course, Huang Shi would not let his army become such a beast, and he saw that the people below were listening carefully, so he opened his mouth to explain, "I believe everyone understands the first discipline. Obedience is unconditional, and you must first resolutely accept and implement the arrangements of your superiors, even if there are doubts, you must also implement them, of course, you can reserve your opinions, and then respond to your superiors after they are implemented. Only by 'obeying the command of superiors in all actions' can our team be invincible and invincible. ”
"As for the second and third disciplines, let me first ask you, what is the masses of the people?"
Hearing the chief's question, there was a "buzzing" sound below, and several fighters raised their hands.
Wu Nanhai said, "Chief, of course, are the people who recognize and support the great cause of our natural revolution and liberation. ”
In textbooks, the masses of the people are a historical category, referring to all the people who play a role in promoting social history. In a class society, it includes all classes, strata and social groups that contribute to the development of history. The concept of the masses of the people has different contents in different countries and in different historical periods of various countries. However, no matter under any circumstances or in any historical period, the main body of the masses of the people is always the working masses and working intellectuals engaged in the production of material materials.
However, in 1558, when editing the "Sacred Book of Nature", it could not be written so awkwardly, and Bai Jasper, according to Huangshi's requirements, replaced this group of people with a content that conformed to the "united front".
The "united front" has different definitions in different periods, such as "anti-imperialist and anti-feudal national united front", "workers' and peasants' united front during the agrarian revolution", "anti-Japanese national united front during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression", "people's democratic united front during the War of Liberation", and "patriotic united front for building socialism" in the new period.
The united front of Huangshi is defined by reference to the patriotic united front for building socialism, which is led by the way of nature and based on the alliance of workers, peasants, businessmen, students and soldiers, all the laborers who support the way of nature, and identify with and support the builders of the great cause of revolutionizing the whole world and liberating all mankind.
