march to victory

"Who is born literate? It's okay. I'll read it to you."

'Long live the Red Army of Chinese Workers and Peasants! ', 'The Red Army is the team of the common people', 'Down with the running dogs of imperialism'...

Xiang Jiafu is an old revolutionary, and he has been working on this propaganda work for two or three years. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is an expert.He asked Zhang Qingshan, originally it was an unintentional act, but he never expected that Zhang Qingshan would actually have some opinions after listening to the few slogans he read.

"I think it would be better if we could change this 'Down with the Landlord Lao Cai' to 'Down with the Bandits and Bullies'." Encouraged by Zhang Qingshan, he mustered up his courage and said, "Because there are certainly not as many bandits as we have here, and they are so rampant." , harming the common people like this. Therefore, if it can be changed to this way, the common people will be more able to accept it.”

Xiang Jiafu thought for a while, then nodded seriously: "Is there any more?"

"Also...Old Xiang, don't be angry when I tell you."

"It's all for the better completion of the revolutionary work. If you can point out our shortcomings, I will only be happy. How can you be angry? You just say it."

"Actually, I can't say anything specific, but if I can write in more detail, I think the effect will be better."

"Tell me, how about the detailed method?"

"If I were me, I would write something like 'Whoever dares to harm the common people deserves to be beaten to death!', 'Any grievances can be decided by the Red Army', it would be better."

Zhang Qingshan's words were a bit extreme, but Xiang Jiafu, an old political cadre, understood better. He wanted to break through the weird atmosphere in Guitang Town as soon as possible and dispel the worries of the people. They were all oppressed and did not dare to resist, and were even numb like resigned to their fate. If they were not stimulated severely, they would not be able to achieve the desired effect—these two slogans were not invented by the author, but were mentioned by many old people during the collection.

Xiang Jiafu nodded, and ordered others to write more slogans according to such words.He took Zhang Qingshan around again, and after carefully instructing some details to be done later, he took Zhang Qingshan, the third squad, and two propaganda members to go out together.

On the way, Huang Debao told Zhang Qingshan that Widow Tian happened to go back to her mother's house for a wedding last night, but she didn't come back.Zhang Qingshan sighed regretfully and said nothing.

There was still no one on the street, but some people opened the windows of the shops on the street to look around. Seeing the Red Army coming, they quickly closed the windows and shrank their heads, watching through the gaps.For this, the people who had been psychologically prepared not only didn't care, but also yelled at them with a smile, "We are the Red Army, our people's own team", "Don't be afraid, everyone, our Red Army will never hurt everyone", etc. But with little success.

In any era, students are the group most receptive to new things.Even though there is only one elementary school in Guitang Town, most of the teachers in it are young people.

Zhang Qingshan's cousin is Zhang Qinggui, who is the vice principal and dean of Guitang Primary School. Although he is only 27 years old this year, he has been a teacher for ten years and is very famous in the local area.In addition, Zhang Qingshan's participation in the Red Army was the advice of this person, so everyone inferred that this person should be more enlightened and easy to accept the Red Army.The purpose of Zhang Qingshan and others this time is to ask him for help, and adopt a strategy of breaking the surface to break the weird situation in Guitang Town as soon as possible.

What's interesting is that the gates of other places are closed, but the gate of Dudu School is open.

As soon as everyone arrived at the school gate, they saw a young man in a blue-gray gown sitting on the steps with a book.Seeing them coming, he raised his head and glanced at them. His eyes were so cold that they were contemptuous, even a little hostile. The posture of rejecting people thousands of miles away was clear at a glance, and he asked calmly, "Who are you? What are you going to do?"

"We are the Red Army, here..."

Before Xiang Jiafu finished speaking, Zhang Qingshan ran over excitedly: "Cousin!"

"Qingshan!" Zhang Qinggui stood up in surprise, and after having a bear hug with Zhang Qingshan, he patted Zhang Qingshan's shoulder and said with a smile, "Your boy has grown much stronger."

"Heh! Heh! Cousin, you are getting more energetic... What are you doing sitting here?"

Zhang Qinggui smiled embarrassingly: "I heard that the Red Army has hit the town, and my colleagues couldn't figure out the attitude of the Red Army, so they sent me here to test the water."

In fact, at this time, the teachers of the school were gathering in the small auditorium of the school, and they were divided into two factions over how to deal with the Red Army, arguing endlessly-to be honest, the KMT slandered the Red Army with the words "Communist, Common Wife". It is very big, and the intersection point of the teachers' debate is also on these four words.In the end, it was Zhang Qinggui who volunteered to come to the school gate to observe the Red Army.

Xiang Jiafu originally wanted to take the opportunity to go over to make friends with Zhang Qinggui, but Zhang Qinggui glanced at him warily, pulled Zhang Qingshan aside, and asked in a low voice: "Qingshan, we are all relatives, you can't lie to me. You have been in the Red Army for so long, tell me the truth: Is the Red Army really Communist and Wife?"

"How is this possible? Cousin, this is a vicious rumor from the Kuomintang reactionaries to slander our Red Army." Zhang Qingshan curled his lips with a wry smile: "Cousin, you went to high school in the state and saw the world, you think, from ancient times So far, have you heard of any revolutionary team that would do such a ridiculous thing of self-destruction?"

Seeing that Zhang Qinggui was still a little worried, Zhang Qingshan patted his chest and said, "Cousin, the matter is a bit urgent, and I won't say anything unnecessary. After you have been in contact with our Red Army for a long time, you will know that our Red Army is really a team of poor people. How about it, I swear to you with my father and mother: If you hear or see any Red Army soldier who dares to bully the common people and violates the Red Army's three major disciplines and eight points of attention, you tell me, or I will shoot him dead, call me Die badly. How?"

"It's enough to have you, I believe you."

Zhang Qinggui walked quickly to Xiang Jiafu, stretched out his hands, held each other's hand tightly, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I've been neglecting you."

After a few words of politeness, Zhang Qinggui led everyone into the school. After walking a few steps, Zhang Qinggui suddenly whispered: "Captain Xiang, the teachers are all in the small auditorium, and they are wondering whether the Red Army will be communist or not. wives and argue endlessly."

Changing Zhang Qinggui's attitude from indifference to enthusiasm to caring reminders, such a huge change in a short period of time is related to the sporadic positive rumors received about the Red Army earlier, but the guarantee of Zhang Qingshan, a relative, is definitely important factor in it.Otherwise, no matter how much you say, there will be absolutely no guarantee from relatives and friends in a short period of time. In this era, swearing by parents is a very sacred thing. .

In Zhang Qingshan's imagination, there should be a battle of words and guns next, so he was looking forward to how Xiang Jiafu, an old political cadre, would persuade the teachers who are good at words, but he never expected that it would be like this It went well, especially unexpectedly...
