Crimson Dawn

Chapter 87

Although he is the political commissar of the Second Company of the "Insurance Group", He Zudao does not have the consciousness of overriding Chai Qingguo, the commander of the Second Company of the Insurance Group, in terms of organizational status.This child is like the youngest son of an ordinary southern family, well-behaved, obedient, and able to communicate with others.There is a habitual admiration for the strong.Although he has a higher status in the organization, He Zudao instinctively avoided using the resolutions of the party organization as his source of power, and instead adopted a very instinctive and soft way to deal with his relationship with Chai Qingguo.In fact, this is also the reason why Chen Ke chose He Zudao as the political commissar of Erlian.The insurance regiment now has two regular companies, and the other two companies are also being formed.Although Chen Ke is the commander-in-chief, there are too many local affairs now, and it is impossible for Chen Ke to devote all his energy to the army.So the combination of one article and one military is the best way at this stage.

He Zudao is not clear about Chen Ke's plan now. In the future army building plan, Chen Ke decided to imitate the old way of the Red Army, and the political commissar will be selected from among the military cadres.In the system of the party commanding the army, the political commissar is the party representative, and it is by no means a supervisor of the army.If we must apply the explanation of management theory mechanically, the military commander of the army is equal to the role of CEO or manager, and is an executor rather than a commander.The party organization is the board of directors, and it is the party organization that decides the actions of the army, not the officer corps.This is also the biggest difference between the socialist army and the National Defense Forces.Therefore, the political commissars who are equivalent to the status of "directors" in enterprises should preferably be military cadres.Because historically, the attainments of political commissars in military command have often surpassed that of military cadres.Whether it was the Red Army or the later Eighth Route, or the People's Liberation Army.The military cadres did not dare to disobey the orders of the political commissars, not just because of their obedience to the party organization, but because the opinions of the political commissars were more correct most of the time and considered from a more comprehensive perspective.

Of course, these future plans will certainly not be revealed now.This is a problem limited to reality. For example, if Chai Qingguo knew about Chen Ke's plan, he would never think that Chen Ke was "far-sighted."

Based on this situation, it is naturally impossible for He Zudao to know this.Of course, He Zudao didn't intend to delve into it.Becoming the political commissar of the "Insurance Group" Erlian is a wonderful process.The reason why He Zudao joined the People's Party is not so much his passion for revolution, but rather his gratitude and loyalty to Chen Ke himself.He Zudao's parents died early, and he lived with his elder brother.Although the family background is not bad, He Zudao went to middle school in a church school. According to the life style of this era, He Zudao's future is to work in a certain business as an apprentice in the counting room, and then slowly become the shopkeeper. If he has money If so, maybe open another store in the future.That is the future that can be seen in this way.

So for He Zudao's future, which is completely unknowable, his freedom is only to follow that industry.So what the savior Chen Ke told him to do, he did.And deep down in He Zudao's heart, there is another reason for following the People's Party's actions that cannot be articulated.Emotionally speaking, He Zudao has an indescribable deep admiration for "Sister Yougou" who also participated in saving him.After every hard work, as long as he can see the smiling face of "Sister Yougou", He Zudao will laugh from the bottom of his heart.

Perhaps it was this lack of strong mentality, so He Zudao never looked down on anyone, and never had any contempt for the soldiers who contributed.After all, they, like He Zudao, must obey the leadership of the party organization.What He Zudao has to do is to explain the organization's decision to everyone and report everyone's ideas to the party organization.Then just work hard with these comrades at the grassroots level.

These things are not difficult for He Zudao.Through his status as a culture teacher, He Zudao has been accepted by these comrades who have little culture.He Zudao thinks that his strength lies in his "obedience".With the direction of Chen Ke and "Sister Yougou", the specific hard work is not a big and difficult task in the eyes of this child.

Paddle is very tiring, and singing has a very good effect on mobilizing everyone's emotions.This is what Chen Ke taught He Zudao, and it has been fully proved in these days. After singing "Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention", He Zudao stopped when he saw that everyone had become motivated. "The Internationale" is a very good song, but Chen Ke doesn't advocate singing it every time. According to Chen Ke's words, "The main task now is to enable everyone to find a place to live and work in our insurance group. Let them think that we are speaking and doing things for the poor. You have to try to do a good job in the middle. As for rising up against landlords and clan forces, you have to let these comrades ask for it themselves. Blind incitement is not necessarily good .”

Recalling these words, He Zudao held back the idea of ​​leading the song.Following the method taught by Chen Ke, he shouted loudly: "Comrades, do you have the confidence to arrive at the pier today?"

Except for a few old boatmen who led the way, they were all troops of the People's Party Insurance Corps. Everyone was not a sailor. Sailor's job.However, after staying on the ship for a long time, I still don't get used to it.Hearing He Zudao's words, everyone felt that they spoke to their hearts.

"Yes!" almost everyone shouted.

"Waiting to dock is definitely not enough. If we want to get to the pier earlier and transport the food back to the folks to eat earlier, we have to work hard!"

"Good!" the comrades responded again.

He Zudao shouted the chant, and the speed of paddling increased a lot, and everyone pulled the paddle more forcefully.My relatives are still waiting for these life-saving food to be shipped back in their hometown. This kind of appeal has made everyone motivated.The first ship hoisted a red pennant, which was below the other pennants already hoisted.This combination means that the stroke speed increases from five to six strokes per minute.One after another, the same flag was hoisted on all the ships, and the speed of the fleet immediately increased significantly.

In the evening, the fleet finally arrived at the pier.Another red flag with a sickle and a hammer is flying high on the pier, which is the company waiting here.The company commander is Hua Xiongmao, and the political commissar is Xu Dian.Chai Qingguo didn't like the combination of this martial artist and the Japanese law student.But there is no way around this, the members of the People's Party are highly educated.For example, among the four platoon leaders of Erlian, three are undergraduates.Among them, the leader of the second platoon was Japanese student Jinichiro Kuroshima.There are soldiers of Japanese origin in the Chinese army, which is probably a first for the Chinese army of this era.

As soon as the ship touches the shore, unloading begins immediately.Under the leadership of the cadres, the soldiers unloaded the supplies on the ship.It wasn't just Yilian who came to greet him, Shang Yuan, a party member of the county magistrate, and many comrades from the county yamen also came.Seeing Shang Yuan approaching quickly, Chai Qingguo saluted Shang Yuan with a formal military salute.In name, this insurance group belonged to the team in the county, and Shang Yuan, as Chai Qingguo's superior, was qualified to accept Chai Qingguo's salute.When Chai Qingguo lowered his right arm, Shang Yuan had already stepped forward and stretched out his right hand first.The hands of the two people's party cadres have been joined together.

Chen Ke requested that the people's party comrades not be allowed to use Manchu etiquette during activities in Fengtai County, and all kneeling and bowing should be abolished.Soldiers use the military salute, civilian officials use the handshake etiquette.In the plan, it will only take a year or two to formally declare war on the Manchu Qing Dynasty. There is no need for your comrades to kneel down and worship in order to deceive others, which will leave a knot in your heart.It is impossible to adopt an equal model now, which will have a very bad impact on the future of Shang Yuan and others.

"Comrades have worked hard." Shang Yuan's demeanor and voice are always serious and earnest, such an attitude unexpectedly makes everyone feel that they are not annoying.

"The food has arrived, Comrade Shang Yuan please check it." Chai Qingguo also said seriously.For Manchu officials, Chai Qingguo did not have any good impressions.But since Shang Yuan talked to himself enthusiastically and seriously, this kind of equality and respect still made Chai Qingguo very comfortable.

There were also some local gentry who followed Shang Yuan, and they couldn't understand Chai Qingguo and Shang Yuan adopting such weird etiquette to each other.However, these people naturally knew what Shang Yuan meant, and they made it clear that they wanted to let everyone know that the status of the "Insurance Group" was publicly recognized by Shang Yuan, the magistrate of the "Bailihou".Moreover, Chai Qingguo also brought urgently needed supplies, which alone greatly improved Chai Qingguo's status in their hearts.So they also greeted Chai Qingguo with a smile and bowed hands.Chai Qingguo was quite pleased to be complimented by these high-ranking gentry in this way.

Several small officials from the People's Party began to count the supplies and register them.Shang Yuan personally waited for the result at the pier.It is true that there are many people and great strength. Hundreds of people in a row quickly transported the supplies off the ship.Help the civil department to count and register the materials.Before it was getting dark, the supplies had already been loaded into the carts and were transported to the warehouse under continuous escort.

"Comrades, start cleaning the pier and scrubbing the deck now." He Zudao shouted.

This is the rule of the People's Party. After using a public place, it must be cleaned up.The requisitioned ships must also be cleaned immediately after use.It is not that Chen Ke has no plans to form a navy.The rules of the navy are so big that anyone with a little modern knowledge knows it, so Chen Ke made such a regulation.

In these actions of the troops, officers must take the lead.After arranging the work, He Zudao took Chai Qingguo to get the tools and jumped into the first boat, and began to sweep and wipe.Now that the officers have started to work, the soldiers of the Second Company no longer refuse.In such an atmosphere, laziness will be despised by everyone instead of supported by everyone.

He Zudao not only cleaned the boat he was in charge of, but also checked the cleaning situation of other boats.Only then did a row of guard boats remain, and the other troops temporarily returned to the temporary station near Fengtai County.

"The water has receded a lot."

"Yeah, last time we cleaned the pier, the water was still level with the pier."

The soldiers discussed as they walked, "It seems that the water is going to recede. Then how to transport things back? If the water is smaller, there will be no way for such a big boat to go on the river?"

When Fengtai County was established in the tenth year of Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty (1732), the county government was divided into the same city as Shouzhou (now Shouxian).That is, the west and south gates of Shouzhou belong to the prefecture, the north gate belongs to Fengtai County, and the east gate belongs to the prefecture and county.In the second year of Tongzhi (AD 1863), the county government was moved to Xiacai in winter, and Xiacai was renamed Fengtai, which was under the jurisdiction of Fengyang Prefecture.

It is located in the south of the Huaibei Plain, the terrain is low and flat, and most areas are below 25 meters above sea level.Huaihe River, Xifei River, Yongxing River and Cihuaixin River pass through the area.The lakes include Jiaogang Lake, Chengbei Lake, Huajia Lake, Jigou Lake and so on.It borders Huaiyuan in the east, Yingshang in the west, Mengcheng in the north, Shouzhou in the south, and Fuyang in the northwest.It is 60 kilometers wide from east to west and 90 kilometers long from north to south.The distances between the counties are: 75 kilometers from Dingyuan, 60 kilometers from Yingshang, 15 kilometers from Shouzhou, 120 kilometers from Fuyang, and 75 kilometers from Mengcheng.

The rivers in Fengtai County are not very suitable for sailing, but during the flood, the depth and width of the river have increased a lot. Under such conditions, the big awning boats can enter here.Comrades' homes are basically in the local area, and the purpose of transporting supplies and food is to save the lives of family members.If it weren't for this reason, the fighters would not work so hard, nor would they care so much.Anhui has always been plagued by disasters, especially floods.The soldiers have all experienced floods, large and small.Therefore, we are particularly concerned about the issue of food transportation.

"Political commissar. Shall we continue to transport food tomorrow?" Finally a soldier mustered up his courage and asked.

"If we leave tomorrow, will everyone be able to bear it physically?" He Zudao asked.

Hearing He Zudao's concerned question, the soldier quickly replied: "There is absolutely no problem. We can sleep and rest well on the boat. Hurry up when we get back. I think we can transport some more."

The insurance group has already transported food and supplies back once, and that time it was sailing in the rain, and everyone was exhausted along the way.But after joining the insurance group, the families of these soldiers can eat in the "canteen" organized by the People's Party, and they will also do some assigned work.In this flood time, it is a life-saving errand.If it weren't for such treatment, there wouldn't be so many people joining the "insurance group" so enthusiastically.

"At any rate, everyone has to go home to see their parents. We've been away for quite a while, so let's go back and say hello first." He Zudao said with a smile.This answer is formulated in the various question answering norms drafted by the BJP Party Headquarters.The work must be unified, and He Zudao himself does not have the power to decide how the troops are mobilized.

"That's right." The soldier nodded and said yes, but he obviously didn't have the excited and joyful expression of other soldiers after hearing this. concern.It seems that there must be something inconvenient to say in public.He Zudao silently remembered this soldier in his heart, the job of the political commissar is to communicate.And you need to communicate skillfully. When you arrive at the temporary station, it is very necessary to communicate with this soldier in private.
