The three meetings of the Min dynasty were the meetings of the state power institutions. The first meeting was the State Council working meeting. The State Council had to report to the Central Committee of the Recovery Party to determine the implementation of last year. Next was the National Conference of the Recovery Party. In addition to the system of elections every five years, there would be more operational content, and the rest of the time was to determine the content of future policies. The review of last year's government work, the reflection and discussion of the policies formulated last year, and the formulation of policies for the next year. In addition, there was the review of the work of the State Council, including some important personnel arrangements. The Min dynasty's system of party and government integration could only be held in this way.
Next was the National People's Congress meeting. The National People's Congress representatives were composed of workers and farmers in the Recovery Party system. In theory, they were the highest power institutions and the legal basis of the Min dynasty. However, at this stage, the work of the National People's Congress was only to listen to the specific implementation policies formulated by the government. The National People's Congress was responsible for discussing this policy. As long as they could understand the policy and then stamp it with a rubber stamp, the policy would be passed. The National People's Congress was actually responsible for helping the government with publicity.
The requirements set by Vézé were simple and clear. The work of explaining the policy to the people was undertaken by the National People's Congress. If the government felt that there was a problem with the National People's Congress's explanation, then they needed to hold a meeting to discuss it according to the National People's Congress's explanation at the time. Whether it was the government or the National People's Congress, Vézé explained it clearly and specially conducted an examination. It was to let this group of people understand. "The content and explanation of the policy must not be closed. The people must have the right to know, and they must know the government's policy. The National People's Congress has the obligation to communicate the people's reaction to the government. "
Therefore, the first to gather in Nanjing were senior officials, followed by the middle-level officials in charge of the provinces, and finally the National People's Congress who came were the grass-roots personnel. When the middle-level officials from Hebei arrived, the personnel from the Civil Affairs Bureau went directly to see Wang Mingshan. Behind the civil affairs personnel was a woman with a little girl. Although she was wearing the Type 65 military uniform of the Liberation Army without a collar badge, from her behavior, it was clear that this woman was not a soldier.
Wang Mingshan was very busy at this time. After Vézé announced that Wang Mingshan would soon become the Party Secretary of the People's Bank, people from all walks of life knew that he was going to be promoted, and there was a long line of people coming to talk to him. A considerable number of them hoped that Wang Mingshan could provide financial help to the provinces, or that Wang Mingshan could personally influence the policies of his old partner, Pang Congcong, on the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. The people from the Civil Affairs Bureau of Hebei Province were not even in the queue for a meeting. The Civil Affairs Bureau sat outside Wang Mingshan's office and waited. When Wang Mingshan came out to work, he would go up and say a few words.
Wang Mingshan didn't care at all when he saw the comrades from the Civil Affairs Bureau. The comrade from the Civil Affairs Bureau quickly said, "Secretary Wang, do you know this woman?"
Wang Mingshan glanced at the woman behind the comrade from the Civil Affairs Bureau. He stopped in his tracks and stared at the woman, frowning. The woman also stared at Wang Mingshan, and her expression gradually became excited. Wang Mingshan took two steps forward and carefully sized up the woman. Finally, he asked in a trembling voice, "Are you Mingxiu?"
"Brother … I'm Mingxiu!" The girl's voice was already filled with tears.
Wang Mingshan grabbed his sister's shoulders, tears blurring his vision. "Mingxiu, Mingxiu! I've finally found you! It's been a few years. I thought you were gone! "
Wang Mingxiu hugged her brother and cried. As she cried, she said, "Brother! I thought I'd never see you again! "
No one had expected that a brother and sister would be reunited. A large group of people immediately gathered in the office corridor. After all, Wang Mingshan had been the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee for a long time, so he quickly regained his composure. He turned his head and said to the guard in a low voice, "Take them to the guesthouse in Guangdong Province. When they get there, wait for me at the entrance. I'll be there in a while."
After saying that, Wang Mingshan quickly ran to see Vézé. After explaining his sister's situation, Wang Mingshan asked for half a day's leave. Vézé was also happy for Wang Mingshan. "Mingshan, your sister has finally been found. This is great! Is half a day's leave enough? "
By this time, Wang Mingshan had also recovered. Thinking of the little girl who was with his sister, Wang Mingshan sighed. "My sister is still here, so I have nothing to complain about. But I saw my sister with a child … Sigh … "
Vézé smiled. "Comrade Mingshan, our Restoration Party is committed to establishing a new moral concept. Some people say that we are destroying traditions, but I think that the morality of a society should be to let people live. For those who can't live well, the morality of society shouldn't force them to die. "
Wang Mingshan had always been considered a hardcore supporter of Vézé, and he had always had a clear attitude towards women's liberation. However, after hearing Vézé's words, he agreed with this attitude from the bottom of his heart for the first time, rather than rationally. If this was the old era, when women were finally rescued by their families after being sold, many people would hold an attitude of ridicule. Not only would they ridicule women, but they would also ridicule women's families. In the new era, the philosophy of the Restoration Party was to fight criminals and protect women. This basic philosophy was undoubtedly beneficial to Wang Mingshan's sister.
"Commander-in-chief, I understand." Wang Mingshan said gratefully.
Vézé stepped forward and patted Wang Mingshan on the shoulder. "Comrade Mingshan, if you really know, then raise your head. There's nothing wrong with you, and there's nothing wrong with your sister. Live a good life, and people have to be responsible for themselves. "
"Yes!" Wang Mingshan stood up straight and replied seriously.
Vézé took out his wallet, took out 200 yuan, and stuffed it into Wang Mingshan's hand. "I've heard about your sister for a long time, and now there's a little girl. I'm busy with work, so I really can't go. This is a greeting gift, please give it to them. Once again, I congratulate you on your family reunion. "
"Commander-in-chief, I can't take this money." Wang Mingshan reflexively refused.
Vézé smiled and said, "Business is business, and private is private. We are against the old morality, and we are also against the bullsh * t of filial piety, but etiquette is another matter. I don't know about this matter, so forget it. Now that I know about it. You can't make me not show the etiquette that should be shown. Take it, this is purely between comrades. "
After hearing this, Wang Mingshan no longer refused. He was worried about his sister, so he said goodbye to Vézé. Wang Mingshan's heart was warmed by Vézé's affection and respect. However, he was the secretary of the provincial party committee after all, and he had to consider Vézé's words. When he thought about Vézé's words of "I don't know about this matter, so forget it", he probably didn't want Wang Mingshan to publicize this matter. Now that Wang Mingshan remembered that there were a lot of people who used their connections to help him, Wang Mingshan really didn't dare to accept it just like that. If Wang Mingshan dared to publicize this matter, it wouldn't be difficult for him to collect tens of thousands of dollars. When that time came, Wang Mingshan would probably have to bear the consequences.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Mingshan made a decision. He only needed to use the matter of Vézé's money as a shield. "Commander-in-chief knows about this matter. If I accept everyone's money, I won't be able to explain it to him." Whether or not Wang Mingshan was on good terms with Wang Mingshan, Wang Mingshan knew, and so did the people who gave the gifts. Those who just came to give gifts naturally didn't dare to use "face" to pressure Wang Mingshan, and no one dared to compete with Vézé in terms of face.
After temporarily solving the external problems, Wang Mingshan hurried to see his sister. Wang Mingxiu was not yet 30 years old. After experiencing so many changes in life, she looked even older than Pang Congcong, who was in her thirties. Pang Congcong was not a special case, because the level of nutrition in the liberated areas was much higher than in other areas. Nowadays, the children were quite tall, and the adults looked much better than in other areas. Seeing his sister like this, Wang Mingshan really felt heartache.
The brother and sister talked about the changes in the past few years, and Wang Mingshan also collected information about the collapse of the Xiang Army. But he knew nothing about the changes after Wang Mingshan's distant relatives sold his sister to a general of the Xiang Army as a wife. Wang Mingxiu slowly said that the Xiang Army first ran to Huainan, and then retreated from Huainan to Huaibei. Later, because of the war, the Xiang Army retreated to Beijing. Finally, they ran from Beijing to Guanwai.
Later, the Xiang Army entered Korea to fight, and their families were left in Shengjing. This was also a tradition. There had to be family members as hostages. After the Liberation Army captured Shenyang, the group of Manchu people who resisted were all killed. Because the family members of the Xiang Army were all women and children, the gunshots and cannons in the fierce battle scared the women so much that they hid in several big courtyards and didn't dare to go out, so they were not killed.
When the Liberation Army screened the prisoners, Wang Mingxiu summoned up the courage to say that her brother was Wang Mingshan of the Liberation Army, and that he joined the Liberation Army as early as 1854. She was just afraid at that time, so she tried her best to grasp the last straw. It had been almost 15 years since Wang Mingshan joined the Liberation Army. She couldn't guarantee whether her brother Wang Mingshan was still alive.
Unexpectedly, the cadres of the screening took Wang Mingxiu out for special questioning. Including Wang Mingshan's background, appearance, and characteristics, the inquiry was very detailed. After several waves of questioning, the officials became more and more powerful. In the end, Wang Mingxiu and her daughter were sent all the way to Nanjing.
The whole process was like a dream for Wang Mingxiu. She had no idea that her brother Wang Mingshan had become a big figure in the Liberation Army. His status was so high that even the Liberation Army knew that he had a lost sister.
Wang Mingshan was very moved. Lei Hu once said that he would pay attention to his sister's affairs. This kind of words was regarded by Wang Mingshan as a kind of comfort, but he didn't expect that Lei Hu would do what he said. If Lei Hu didn't pay attention to it, even if Wang Mingxiu said her background, it was estimated that no middle or high-level officials would be interested in it. More importantly, the military discipline of the Liberation Army forbade the abuse of prisoners, especially women. When it was used as political propaganda, the comrades in charge of propaganda might think it was a heavy job. But without the propaganda of those comrades, according to the morality of the army in this era, his sister Wang Mingxiu would definitely not be able to survive.
