"Military Governor Wei doesn't want our brothers to have a good life!" Zhou Jincai said angrily.
The 5th of every month was the day of payday. After the payday, everyone would have more money. Some of the comrades would send the money home, while others would go to the supply department to buy some goods for sale to the soldiers. The sugarcane wine was selling very well. Zhou Jincai, who was also a battalion commander, brought two bottles of wine to Zhou Jinguo.
Zhou Jinguo and Zhou Jincai had similar names and were in the same regiment. Just by looking at their names, many people would think that they were brothers or at least relatives of the same clan. However, the actual situation was completely different. Zhou Jinguo was from Yongxing Hunan, while Zhou Jincai was from Jiangsu and Yancheng. Their hometowns were thousands of miles away from each other. Perhaps they were one family a thousand years ago, but for the past several hundred years, the two families had been living in different provinces and had no relationship at all. Even so, because of their names, their relationship was quite good. Zhou Jincai dared to confide in Zhou Jinguo.
After drinking a mouthful of wine, Zhou Jincai's mood seemed even lower. "Us brothers will follow the Commander-in-Chief to conquer the country. In the future, when the Commander-in-Chief becomes the Emperor, we won't even be able to be landlords. What the hell is going on? "
After listening to Zhou Jincai's words, Zhou Jinguo was quite surprised. Zhou Jinguo had never thought about what would happen after he conquered the kingdom. In his mind, if he listened to the Military Governor Vaize now, he would naturally listen to His Majesty Vézé in the future. Since the Military Governor Of Vaize didn't want to give him land, Zhou Jinguo didn't think he had a reason to own a large piece of land.
Without waiting for Zhou Jinguo to think of what to say, Zhou Jincai continued, "When I followed the Commander in Chief back then, it was to bring honor to my ancestors. I never thought of becoming a high-ranking official. At the very least, I could get a few hundred mu of land and become a big landlord. But now I know that it's impossible for me to be a landlord! "
Looking at his comrade's dejected look, Zhou Jinguo couldn't bear it. However, after listening to Zhou Jincai's words, Zhou Jinguo remembered what had been said at the political conference. He asked, "How much land does your family have now?"
"My home? My family only has ten mu of land, "Zhou Jincai said gloomily while drinking.
Zhou Jinguo continued to ask, "Your family only has ten mu of land, so where do you want to get the other few hundred mu of land?"
"Uh …" Zhou Jincai was stumped by this question. After thinking for a while, he said, "We work hard for the Commander in Chief. Once the Commander in Chief gives the order, can't he give us land?"
This was the first time Zhou Jinguo had heard Zhou Jincai speak his mind. Ever since he had joined the Taiping army, Zhou Jinguo had received the propaganda that everyone who had land was of the same kind. The Liberation Army's propaganda about land had always been to distribute land, not to give a group of officers a few hundred mu of land. Of course, Zhou Jinguo felt that it was very good for him to be given a few hundred mu of land, but he also knew very well that the Liberation Army would not do that. If the Military Governor Of Vaize could do that, the Liberation Army would have done it a long time ago.
Zhou Jinguo advised, "Our Liberation Army will definitely not do that …"
"That's why I said that the Military Governor Of Wei doesn't want our brothers to live a good life!" Zhou Jincai said unhappily. "When I was with the Commander in Chief, I felt that when the land was distributed, there would always be distant relatives. Now, it seems that the Commander in Chief is serious! "
When Zhou Jinguo had first heard Zhou Jincai criticize Vézé, Zhou Jinguo had been a little unhappy. Now that he heard that Zhou Jincai was dissatisfied with Vézé from the bottom of his heart, Zhou Jinguo said unhappily, "I followed the Commander in Chief because I liked his plan to distribute land. If you want to say bad things about the Commander in Chief, go find someone else. Don't say it in front of me! "
Zhou Jincai looked at Zhou Jinguo with a disdainful look. He snorted first, then said mockingly, "You followed the Commander in Chief, but in the end, you still went home to farm. Even if you farmed, it would only be a few mu of land. We risked our lives to fight a war, and in the end, this is all we got? Is it worth it? "
"Get lost!" Zhou Jinguo said angrily. "I think it's worth it to follow the Commander in Chief. The Commander in Chief has always been very good to everyone."
"Tsk!" Zhou Jincai snorted coldly. "So many brothers protected their own people. This is a crime. They were kicked out of the army. I've never thought of bullying others, but I didn't expect to end up with nothing. If I can't even be a landlord, then what's the point of me working so hard? "
These words completely angered Zhou Jinguo. The person he admired the most was Vézé. After winning so many battles with Vézé and learning how to read and write, when the world was at peace, Zhou Jinguo just wanted to go home and farm. With his current position as a battalion commander, he would no longer be bullied when he returned home, and it was even more impossible for him to be looked down upon. However, such a goal was worthless in Zhou Jincai's eyes. Zhou Jinguo only felt the alcohol surging. He slammed the table and scolded, "If you don't want to do it, then get lost. No one is begging you to stay in the army! The Commander in Chief doesn't even want to be a landlord, so what right do you have to be more arrogant than him? You're not you! "
Originally, Zhou Jinguo thought that Zhou Jincai would also fly into a rage after his scolding. However, Zhou Jincai only glared at him and didn't continue speaking. At this point, he couldn't drink anymore. Zhou Jinguo stood up and pointed at Zhou Jincai. "Let me tell you, don't you dare speak ill of the Commander in Chief in front of me! You're not worthy! "
"Hmph!" Zhou Jincai also stood up and walked away angrily. After walking a few steps, he turned back, picked up the unfinished wine, and strode out of Zhou Jinguo's residence.
Looking at Zhou Jincai's back, Zhou Jinguo couldn't help but scold, "What the hell!"
However, scolding was one thing, but Zhou Jinguo wasn't a petty person. This matter was over. He didn't take it to heart at all. Two days later, while Zhou Jinguo was working in the battalion headquarters, Zhou Jincai suddenly rushed in from outside. Zhou Jinguo's political commissar, deputy battalion commander, and the others were all present. Zhou Jincai pointed at Zhou Jinguo and started scolding him. First, it was XXXX, then OOO. Zhou Jincai's shouting stunned Zhou Jinguo and everyone in the battalion headquarters. Everyone saw that Zhou Jincai's eyes were bloodshot, as if he was dead drunk. However, there was no smell of alcohol on him, so they didn't know what had happened. However, they heard Zhou Jincai roar hysterically, "Zhou Jinguo, you f * cking went to the division commander and spoke ill of me! Do you still have a conscience? I got my salary and treated you to a drink, but you sold me out! You … you'll die a horrible death! "
Zhou Jinguo was stunned. Two days ago, he had indeed scolded Zhou Jincai, but he hadn't reported him. Only God knew what kind of medicine Zhou Jincai had taken to actually scold him in public. Without waiting for Zhou Jinguo to speak, political commissar Chen Yaoguang reached out and stopped Zhou Jinguo. He asked with a straight face, "Battalion Commander Zhou, where's your collar insignia?!"
When Chen Yaoguang said that, everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Jincai's collar. The Liberation Army uniform had collar insignia, shoulder insignia, chest insignia, and cap insignia. Among them, the most important was the collar insignia. Regardless of the other insignia on the uniform, as long as the person didn't have the collar insignia, it meant that the person had been expelled from the army, or at least stripped of all their positions.
At this moment, Zhou Jincai's collar was empty. Looking at his shoulder, the epaulets had also been taken off. The chest insignia was still there, but on the chest insignia was written the military unit, name, gender, and blood type, but nothing related to the position. At this moment, Zhou Jincai wasn't wearing his military cap, so it was unknown if his cap insignia was still there. However, even if the cap insignia was still there, without the collar insignia, it meant that Zhou Jincai was no longer an official soldier.
Chen Yaoguang's words completely infuriated Zhou Jincai. He cursed loudly and pounced on him, wanting to punch him. Even if Zhou Jincai was still the battalion commander, the guards wouldn't let Zhou Jincai beat up Zhou Jinguo. Seeing Zhou Jincai make a move, the guards grabbed Zhou Jincai's clothes from behind, and with a grappling motion, Zhou Jincai was restrained.
Without waiting for Zhou Jinguo to speak, Political Commissar Chen Yaoguang ordered, "Lock him up, we're going to the regiment headquarters."
Along the way, Zhou Jincai cursed loudly. First, he scolded Zhou Jinguo for being a b * stard who snitched on him, then he scolded the political commissars for being lackeys of the political department. Hearing Zhou Jincai's angry curses, the surrounding soldiers all gathered around in surprise. Suffering this unexpected disaster, Zhou Jinguo was both angry and furious. Based on the current situation, Zhou Jinguo could roughly guess what had happened. Zhou Jincai was completely against the land policy, and when the division commander found out about this, he was dismissed. Zhou Jincai felt that he had no future, and he thought that Zhou Jinguo went to the division commander to snitch on him.
Snitching was a huge problem for the Chinese. In the eyes of ordinary people, snitching on officials was not a positive action, but a problem with a person's character. Listening to Zhou Jincai's curses, the soldiers looked at Zhou Jinguo with a strange look in their eyes. At least, Zhou Jinguo felt that it was strange. Zhou Jinguo stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Jincai's collar. He shouted angrily, "What the f * ck are you talking about?!"
Zhou Jincai didn't look scared at all. He stretched his neck and yelled, "Zhou … Jin … Guo, you … are … not … human! I treated you to a meal, I treated you to a drink. After eating and drinking, you actually snitched on me. You … are … not … human! You will die a horrible death! You … "
"Slap!" A crisp sound was heard, but it wasn't from Zhou Jinguo. Camp Political Commissar Chen Yaoguang slapped Zhou Jincai's face. This slap made Zhou Jincai's head sway, but Chen Yaoguang didn't stop. "Slap! Slap! Slap! " In addition to the first slap, Zhou Jincai was slapped four times on the left and right, causing him to be unable to speak at once.
After the slap, Chen Yaoguang shouted, "Take this guy to the division headquarters. I want to see what he wants to do."
In the division headquarters, the division commander listened to Chen Yaoguang's account of what happened. He stood up and immediately pulled out the revolver at his waist. Zhou Jinguo was shocked, but fortunately, the division commander finally regained his senses. He slammed the pistol on the table. Then he pointed at Zhou Jincai and shouted, "Zhou Jincai! Do you believe that I won't shoot you right now?! "
Zhou Jincai had vented his anger and been beaten. The hysteria caused by being stripped of his military position had finally subsided. Although he tried to act tough, he didn't dare to make a sound.
The division commander stared at Zhou Jinguo with his eyes wide open. He shouted at him, "You too! What nonsense did you say when you were drinking with him? Now say it in front of so many people. Don't leave out a single word. There are so many people here, no one will accuse you of snitching! Tell me now. "
Facing the furious division commander, Zhou Jinguo was also quite frightened. He glanced at Zhou Jincai, whose face was swollen, and turned back to tell him about the drinking.
Following Zhou Jinguo's story, the division headquarters became quieter and quieter. Everyone's eyes were wide open, and everyone listened carefully. Except for Zhou Jinguo, everyone's eyes became more and more fierce. Even though he knew that this was not directed at him, Zhou Jinguo could only feel his back breaking out in a cold sweat. Zhou Jinguo knew that Zhou Jincai was finished.
