"The land reform will affect the future generations. If the farmers don't even have land, or can't even feed themselves by farming, what else can they do but rebel? The purpose of carrying out the land reform is to ensure that everyone can survive in the future. "
The propaganda in the Fourth Army was concise and to the point, and Shen Xin wasn't very confident in this kind of propaganda. However, the effect of the propaganda with the reason of "Generations of the Nation" was beyond his expectations. The Liberation Army immediately expressed their support, and the voices of public opposition disappeared without a trace. At the very least, there would be no more objections in public.
Shen Xin was worried that everyone was afraid to speak up. He had also attended many meetings and asked his comrades for their opinions. The comrades were unanimous in their opinions. "Since the land reform ensures that everyone has land to farm, the tax is only thirty percent. Since the purpose of the land reform was to protect the land for generations to come, what else could they say? There's not a single person in the Liberation Army who doesn't want to follow you and build the country for generations to come. "
His comrades in the army had a high level of political awareness, or at least a high level of awareness of rebellion, which made Shen Xin speechless. In his report to Vézé, Shen Xin wrote: "The hearts of the people can be used, the morale of the army can be used."
Zhou Jinguo, the Battalion Commander of the 4th Division, did not feel the same way. The reason he rebelled was to have a stable land and not be exploited by all kinds of exorbitant taxes. After listening to the "reasoning" meeting about the land issue, he didn't want to be exploited anymore. What's more, the land reform was related to the "everlasting country", so he had no reason to oppose it.
What made Zhou Jinguo happy was that the troops quickly stabilized. Zhou Jinguo even had the opportunity to meet Zhou Jincai once. The one who reported Zhou Jincai was not Zhou Jinguo, but Zhou Jincai's political commissar. Zhou Jincai begged to meet Zhou Jinguo and apologize to him in person. Scolding Zhou Jinguo in public had a great impact on Zhou Jinguo. So this request was finally agreed.
The confinement area was a small courtyard in the camp. It was a brick house. However, this was not because of special treatment, but because he was afraid that they would run away. After waiting in the courtyard's reception room for a while, Zhou Jinguo saw the guards bring Zhou Jincai out. These twenty days of confinement had made Zhou Jincai listless. He was unshaven and pale. As soon as they sat down opposite Zhou Jinguo, Zhou Jinguo apologized profusely for scolding Zhou Jinguo.
At this time, Zhou Jinguo had basically put aside the matter of being scolded. However, in the first few days, he even had the intention to kill Zhou Jincai. When he saw Zhou Jincai's miserable state, he was actually quite happy. If it was Zhou Jinguo, he wouldn't have been able to turn Zhou Jincai into such a state.
"Jin Kingdom, I invited you here because I want to ask you two things. First, I want you to put in a good word for me in front of the division commander. I know I was wrong. I just hope that the troops won't drive me away." Zhou Jincai looked sad. "I don't want to be driven away by the troops. I haven't had enough food in the troops yet! "
This reason really moved Zhou Jinguo. After entering the troops, there was rice to eat, but after entering the troops, there was more than just rice to eat. The Fourth Army was originally stationed in Shaoguan. The troops farmed, grew vegetables, raised chickens, pigs, fish, and mulberry trees. The normal food was very good. When Zhou Jinguo was in his hometown, he didn't have much meat. In the past few years in Shaoguan, the troops not only had meat to eat, but they also had all kinds of spices and cooking oil. There were at least two or three days a week where they could eat meat. If they were to go back home and farm, they wouldn't have such food in any case.
With the nourishment of such food, the comrades in the troops were strong. Even during battles and training, they had to endure the wind and rain, and all of them were tanned. However, everyone had the kind of oily skin that only the top rich families had. To be more precise, the oil in their stomachs was stored in the subcutaneous layer of fat.
After more than 20 days of confinement, the oil in Zhou Jincai's body had been used up very little. He looked no different from the dry skin of the people in this era. Zhou Jinguo often ate with Zhou Jincai, so he knew that Zhou Jincai had developed the habit of eating meat. Zhou Jinguo couldn't help but ask, "What have you been eating these days?"
"Porridge and pickled vegetables," Zhou Jincai replied with a sad face.
"Jincai, why do you want to be a landlord?" Zhou Jinguo asked again.
This question made Zhou Jincai feel even more pain. His eyes were already glistening with tears. "That's because I listened to the previous Regiment Commander Xiong. Two years ago, he said that when there is no more war in the future, we, the battalion commanders, will each be the landlord of a few hundred mu of land. He is the regiment commander, so how can I not believe him? So when I heard about the distribution of land, I felt that the commander-in-chief's words didn't count. I didn't expect Regiment Commander Xiong to be talking nonsense. The commander-in-chief never said that. "
Hearing Zhou Jincai's answer, Zhou Jinguo was dumbfounded. He had never thought that there would be such a reason behind the matter. Zhou Jinguo had a very good impression of the previous Regiment Commander Xiong. This guy usually liked to brag and always said things that sounded unreliable. For example, how he would be able to achieve meteoric success in the future. Following him was the right choice. Two years ago, when the military was reorganized, a large number of people were called to military schools to learn. Regiment Commander Xiong went to military schools and there was no news of him since.
Although Zhou Jinguo's position was not high, his qualifications were there for all to see. Because he had a wide range of people, he knew very well that the people who were sent to military schools were completely different. One was normal military school training. This kind of training usually happened when the military was undergoing personnel transfers. The other was suddenly receiving orders to go to military schools for training. Many of the people who were transferred were considered problematic. However, the military left them some face and did not dismiss them. Instead, they used the excuse of going to military schools for training to send them away.
"You dare to believe Regiment Commander Xiong's words?" Zhou Jinguo's voice trembled as he spoke.
Zhou Jincai cried regretfully. Tears rolled down his cheeks. Zhou Jincai used his dirty sleeves to wipe them, but he could not dry them in time. After crying for a while, his emotions calmed down. Then, he choked and said, "I was blinded by lard. In the past, I looked at the prestige of being a landlord. I wanted to be a landlord too! After Regiment Commander Xiong said that, I only thought that I could be a landlord. Later, he went to military schools. Although I felt that his words might not be reliable, I always felt that he was a regiment commander. But … … but she felt that there must be a reason for him to say such a thing since he was a guild leader. I really wanted to be a landlord. That's why I didn't dare to tell anyone about it. I could only think about it myself. I also asked some people. Everyone said different things. However, there were also people who said that they would really give everyone a few hundred mu of land. I believed it … sob sob … "
Listening to Zhou Jincai's explanation, Zhou Jinguo opened his mouth a few times but did not know what to say. Should he criticize his brother for being stupid? Or should he say that he asked for it? In fact, Zhou Jinguo originally wanted to ask why Zhou Jincai went to him and scolded him like crazy after being removed from his position. Now, there was no need to ask. After being stripped of his position as battalion commander and knowing that there was no land distribution, Zhou Jincai's future was completely over. It would be strange if a normal person did not go crazy in such a situation.
Zhou Jincai cried for a while again. He begged Zhou Jinguo, "Jin Guo, I only beg you to go to the division commander and plead for me. I don't want to be a battalion commander. Let me be a company commander, a platoon commander … I can even be an ordinary soldier. I just beg the division commander not to kick me out! I don't want to leave the army. "
Zhou Jinguo did not dare to agree to go to the division commander. The army was in an uproar because of this matter. It took a lot of effort to calm things down. If Zhou Jinguo went to plead for him now, he was afraid that he would not be able to protect himself. However, facing his good friend's pleading, Zhou Jinguo could not refuse. He could only say, "I know. I'll talk to the regiment commander first. If the regiment commander can agree, we'll try our best together. "
After returning to the regiment headquarters and explaining the situation, the regiment commander shook his head like a rattle drum. "This won't do. I don't have the right to appoint or dismiss people. This kind of thing is decided by the personnel department. "
If there was anyone that Zhou Jinguo was more afraid of than looking for the division commander, it would probably be the personnel department. The guys there were really birds of a feather flock together. All of them were very cunning. They never gave a clear answer when they spoke. They would not slack in their work and would not procrastinate when it was time to give a rating. However, do not expect to get any useful information from them on a daily basis.
Zhou Jinguo said, "Regiment commander, I think Jin Cai really knows his mistake. He made this mistake because Regiment Commander Xiong talked nonsense in the past. Can you speak up for him? "
Hearing this, the regiment commander was furious. "Jin Guo, if I speak up for him, who will speak up for me?! When this happened to Jin Cai, when the division commander scolded me, who spoke up for me? Now you want me to speak up for Jin Cai? Do I think I haven't been scolded enough? "
After saying this angrily, the regiment commander saw that Zhou Jinguo did not dare to say anything, so his anger subsided a little. He said angrily, "Do you think Jin Cai hasn't scolded you enough? He ran to the army and scolded you for tattling behind his back. In order to help you eliminate the negative influence, our regiment specially sent someone to explain the whole story to you. Now you want to speak up for him. So what we're doing is wrong. Ah! You have a deep brotherhood, but we are not good enough to your brother, right? "
Zhou Jinguo was originally ready to give up, but hearing the regiment commander's words, he could not help but refute, "Regiment commander! You can't say that. This is a different matter … "
"Enough, enough!" The regiment commander waved his hand impatiently and interrupted Zhou Jinguo's words. "Let's not quarrel anymore. You go find the division commander yourself. I won't go. "
After coming out from the regiment commander's place, Zhou Jinguo thought about it and still went to the division headquarters. Zhou Jinguo felt really uneasy if he just stood by and watched this matter. Looking at it now, Zhou Jincai was indeed problematic, but he was also scolded by others. If the army had transferred people like Regiment Commander Xiong away earlier, wouldn't the current situation be different?
At the entrance of the division headquarters, Zhou Jinguo saw a lot of guards at the entrance. Just as he was thinking whether to go in or not, he saw the division commander accompanying the regiment commander and a slightly familiar young officer walking out of the division headquarters. The young officer was Shen Xin, and he noticed Zhou Jinguo. Now that the matter had become so big, it had something to do with Zhou Jinguo wanting to be a big shot. Seeing Zhou Jinguo's worried expression, Shen Xin felt that something was wrong.
Walking up to Zhou Jinguo, Shen Xin said with a smile, "Comrade Zhou Jinguo, what's the matter?"
At this time, Zhou Jinguo also recognized Shen Xin. Seeing Shen Xin's kind expression, he didn't know where his courage came from, but he said, "I'm here to plead for Zhou Jincai. He was just deceived and knows that he was wrong. I don't think he's like those bad people. "
Seeing Shen Xin and Zhou Jinguo greet each other, the division commander also came over. At this time, hearing that Zhou Jinguo actually dared to plead for Zhou Jincai, he immediately flew into a rage. Not caring that Shen Xin was next to him, the division commander shouted, "Such a big thing has happened, and you've lost so much face in the army. You should be thanking the gods on his grave for not killing this kid! Now that you're here to plead for him, does he want to be reinstated? "
Now that the matter had been brought to light, Zhou Jinguo was not as afraid as before. He said, "Division commander, if the commander-in-chief had taken out this program earlier and clearly said that this is a matter of thousands of generations, Zhou Jincai would not have dared to think about being the landlord even if he had ten times the guts. Isn't this still because he was deceived? "
The division commander's eyes widened in anger. "What? Are you saying that the commander-in-chief is wrong? I'll beat you to death! "After saying that, the division commander stepped forward and pretended to hit him.
Shen Xin hurriedly stopped the division commander. Finally, someone dared to say that the policy was popularized too late. This was actually what Shen Xin was thinking. Because of the incident with Zhou Jincai, the Fourth Army was eager to keep the peace, so the army did not reflect at all. Based on Shen Xin's understanding of Vézé, Vézé would definitely not be satisfied. However, at this time, the morale of the army was a little shaken. If Vézé dared to continue to criticize the army, the army's response would definitely be to find the "culprit" to take the blame, instead of really reflecting on the internal situation.
After stopping the angry division commander, Shen Xin turned his head and asked Zhou Jinguo kindly, "Comrade Zhou Jinguo, since you have such thoughts, I'm also willing to listen to what you have to say. Since Commander Lei is also here, let's all listen together. "
After saying this, Shen Xin was afraid that Zhou Jinguo would be under too much pressure, so he smiled and said, "To be honest, I don't completely disagree with what you said. But you have to say what you have to say. "
The division commander saw that Zhou Jinguo was a little eager under the provocation of the director of the political department, Shen Xin, and he wanted to strangle Zhou Jinguo. Now that the army thought that the political department was the supervisor, everyone hoped that they could quickly serve these people well and let them get out of here as soon as possible. Therefore, it was to "fully cooperate with the work of the political department."
Under the system of the general staff, if something happened, there must be a clear person to take responsibility. This time, the division commander was lucky that no one wanted to hold him accountable. Therefore, the division commander could only wait to severely punish Zhou Jincai, kick him out of the army, and give a serious explanation to the higher-ups. This was the end of the matter. Any action that would cause waves in this process was something that the division commander wanted to avoid.
However, the "supervisor" of the political department, Shen Xin, had already spoken, so the division commander could only stare at Zhou Jinguo fiercely, trying to make this bastard retreat. Unexpectedly, Shen Xin avoided the division commander's angry gaze and followed Shen Xin into the division headquarters.
The division commander did not dare to follow him immediately. He walked to the side of Commander Lei Hu, who was "watching the fun", and carefully whispered, "Commander Lei, I haven't gotten rid of the" leader "doctrine in my army, I …"
Without waiting for the division commander to finish, Lei Hu said with a smile, "What does this have to do with the" leader "doctrine? The "leader" doctrine is to say the words from the bottom of your heart in private, and to say some nonsense that has been discussed long ago in public. What kind of "leader" doctrine is to tell the truth in public? Besides, if you are investigated, can't I say a few good words for you in public? "
The division commander did not expect Commander Lei Hu to have such an attitude at all, and his heart instantly gave birth to a warm feeling. After hearing such heartwarming words after being so nervous for almost a month, he could only cry out, "Commander …" The rest of his words were choked up and he couldn't continue.
