After three days of isolation from the world, Pang Zi's former arrogance completely disappeared. When he came out of the confinement room, the strong light gap made Pang Zi only squint his eyes for a while.

Unexpectedly, it was not the guards who greeted Pang Zi at the door, but Wu Xingchen and Chai Qingguo, as well as Li Yong, the political commissar of the division. The three of them stood there, smiling rather than smiling. On the contrary, Pang Zi was embarrassed. Standing quite embarrassed for a while, Pang Zi finally spoke: "Shame, shame." Don't laugh at me. ”

"Haha, third child, you also know how shameful it is." Chai Qingguo said with a laugh without a smile.

"Comrade Pang Zi, Chairman Chen has entrusted us to talk to you. I started talking when I got back. Wu Xingchen said without a smile.

The words brought by Wu Xingchen are very simple, Pang Zi's understanding of "there is a beginning and an end" is not correct enough. The People's Party's revolution was a new beginning, not just a simple continuation of the people's uprising led by Jing Tingbin and Zhao Sanduo. In the context of different eras, the idea of "defeating Yuan Shikai" cannot simply equate the two things.

"I see." Pang Zi replied after listening. After three days of confinement, Pang Zi was really honest. Whether Chen Ke's words were right or not, Pang Zi really didn't dare to resist the organization's orders for the time being.

Wu Xingchen is a comrade who has experience in political trials, and he also has Pang Zi's feelings, "Comrade Pang Zi, don't feel that you are very wronged. If you are guilty? Indeed, that is a sin. You must also feel that you have been wronged. But now you have to be self-critical. In three days, do you want to understand what you did wrong? ”

"Don't you just have to be obedient? I'm disobedient, so it's time to lock up. Pang Zi replied calmly. The original anxiety was knocked away by confinement, but the thoughts in my heart have not changed.

"Comrade Pang Zi, why did you join the revolution?" Wu Xingchen was not angry, ideological work is not a simple few words, if you don't think about some things clearly, it will definitely not work.

"I want revenge, Uncle Jing's revenge, Uncle Zhao's revenge, and the revenge of so many brothers in Gengzi Nian. There are also my brothers who followed me in Nangong County a few years ago, and I can't help but avenge their revenge. If you don't let me take revenge, I won't be at ease when I die. ”

"Then you're not getting your revenge. Yuan Shikai is not a person, he represents a system. Those oppressors are not just Yuan Shikai. The foreign devil, the exploiting class, this is a very complex and very simple system of exploiters. You didn't like to listen to political classes before, who are our enemies and who are our friends, you always think this is a fool, this time I will personally come to tell you, if I don't understand, I will ask the political commissar to tell you, if you still don't understand, I will ask Chairman Chen to tell you. If you still don't understand, I'll have to suspend you. Wu Xingchen put on a posture of long-term education.

"Third child, when you were in Beijing before, you didn't like to listen to persuasion, and you didn't listen to what Chairman Chen said. You are desperate, and you finally come to this to join the revolution. Since you have participated in the revolution, you have to figure out why you want to revolution. Chai Qingguo said it more bluntly.

Pang Zi looked at Chai Qingguo, as far as he knew, the relationship between Chai Qingguo and Chen Ke was not good for a while. But Chai Qingguo has one benefit, he will say it to his face if there is a problem, but as long as he joins the team, he will not leave. So Chai Qingguo is now about to be promoted to military commander.

Seeing that several old brothers were determined to teach themselves lessons, Pang Zi knew that he couldn't avoid it. He didn't want to avoid it anymore, and since he had to talk about it, he might as well talk about it.

Chen Ke learned from Grandpa Mao that "the class struggle is effective as soon as it is grasped", and after talking about the deepest conflict of interests, there is nothing that he cannot understand. The biggest difference between the People's Party and other political forces in China is that the People's Party stands on the side of the workers and the masses of the people, so the People's Party dares to boldly expose the deepest contradictions in the contradictions and conflicts between various classes.

In this conversation, not only did they talk about the oppressive forces represented by Yuan Shikai and foreign devils, but more importantly, Wu Xingchen, Chai Qingguo and others also talked deeply about the position of Pang Zi and others in the people's uprising.

According to the analysis of the class struggle, the people's uprising in which Wu Xingchen, Chai Qingguo, Pang Zi and others participated in that year was a struggle between the propertied people in rural China and the propertied people who represented industrialization. Whether it is a foreign devil or a Beiyang, they are all propertied people born of industrialization and vassals of foreign devils. On the contradiction of "anti-foreign donations," a fierce struggle was waged between the two groups of propertied persons.

The power of confinement is still there, and Pang Zi's mood has finally remained calm, "Brother Wu, you have no conscience when you say this." Uncle Jing is definitely not a person who oppresses the people. According to what you said, Uncle Jing is the same as the local tyrant and bully who is the party to the disaster. That's right, Uncle Jing Tingbin is a martial artist, but he usually upholds justice in the countryside, and the bully can't contact Uncle Jing Tingbin at all. ”

"Uncle Jing is a good person, we brothers know this. But Uncle Jing maintains the order of the old times. I put it this way, with the land reform, the order of the old era has to be completely broken. Analyzing Uncle Jing also has to look at it from two aspects, Uncle Jing's grievances are one thing, and maintaining the order of the old times is another. Of course, our brothers support Uncle Jing's actions to seek justice for the bullied people, but Uncle Jing represents the interests of the squires in the old era, and we have to analyze it clearly. ”

Confinement is painful, but it's also painful to be analyzed like this. Pang Ziping has never liked to participate in the political class of the People's Party, he feels that it is a scholar's statement, and it has nothing to do with him. Now that he has to honestly participate in the political class, Pang Zi feels that in comparison, it may be a good choice to be confined.

Seeing Pang Zi's more and more wilted appearance, Wu Xingchen persuaded: "Comrade Pang Zi, we must clearly understand the class position of our People's Party. I'm afraid that my resistance in the political trial is much stronger than yours. But when you really understand the class position you are in, many things will be solved. A lot of ideas can be figured out and straightened out. ”

"You said a thousand things and ten thousand, I must avenge this revenge." Pang Zi simply put out his bottom line.

"No one won't let you take revenge. But I'm going to ask you a question now, do you prioritize revenge or work. Comrade Pang Zi, if you feel that you are a member of the People's Party and a cadre of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, you should give priority to your work. If you think you're an ordinary person, that's okay too. Hand over your work, tell the party organization that you can't do it anymore, ask to quit the People's Party, and then you can do whatever you want. ”

"Big brother, I'm still the same thing, I'm willing to work hard for the party, I'm not afraid of birth and death. But the party must take care of me. That's all I have to ask. ”

"You are, the goal of the party organization is to bring down all the exploiting classes. Including Yuan Shikai, including foreign devils. This is not to avenge anyone, but to fight for the interests of the working masses and create a tomorrow. The party organization pursues the interests of the whole of China, not the pleasure of your moment. Brother, you can't be mistaken about this. ”

"What did I get wrong? Now Yuan Shikai's son is going to send assassins to kill Chairman Chen, and if the assassination can be successful, Yuan Shikai will definitely be able to reap the benefits. But what was discussed at the party committee meeting? This Yuan Shikai became a victim instead. He was also aggrieved. Pang Zi finally regained some activity.

"Third child, can Beiyang Town beat Pang Zi and you as a division now?" Chai Qingguo said with a smile.

"Definitely not." Pang Zi's answer was categorical.

"Then so many troops of our Shandong Military Region are now attacking Beiyang, can they win with the new army of the four towns they are now in Beijing?"

"Of course you can't win." Pang Zi is very confident in this.

"So what else is there to say. Yuan Shikai is not stupid, he is also very clear. Whether the assassination can succeed or not is another matter, but once we know that the assassin was instigated by Yuan Shikai, will he still have a way to live? You want to kill Yuan Shikai, I know very well. I wanted to kill him too, but it had to be during the Revolutionary War, not now that we were being cheated behind our backs. We the People's Party cannot participate in this senseless civil war. It's not right to provoke a civil war for the sake of anger and selfishness. Now we have to get the real enemy out and kill them. The time is not ripe for a full-scale war of liberation. ”

was talked about by Chai Qingguo about such strategic considerations, and Pang Zi knew that he couldn't argue. "I ......, don't I think I have a chance now! Even if I think about it, it's not a reason to keep me confined to it. ”

"Who said you were locked up because of this? You make a lot of noise at the meeting, and someone says something wrong with you? Wu Xingchen shouted, "I'll lock you up because you're a bandit." The reason for joining the revolution was most likely out of revenge. However, the revolution itself is not revenge, the revolution is looking forward, fighting for tomorrow and creating the future for the sake of the people. Instead of holding on to the past and not letting go, Comrade Pang Zi. ”

"I, how can I let go! With so many lives, how can I let go? Pang Zi said angrily.

"You have to admit that you failed, you have to admit that we all failed back then! Uncle Jing, Uncle Zhao, and so many brothers, our method is wrong. We're not pursuing the right goal. You Pang Zi is a valiant warrior and can also fight. However, if you cannot admit these things and understand the essence of the people's revolution, you will not be a qualified revolutionary fighter. ”

"What if I don't recognize it? Brother Wu, you removed me?! Pang Zi was aroused by these words.

"As your martial brother, I will not withdraw you. But as the commander of the military district, you don't realize this, so I have to remove you. Your job is to fight wars, and your goal is to liberate China and the people. Instead of letting you accumulate credit and then take revenge. If you don't recognize that, I'll have to get rid of you. If you feel that you have been wronged, I have to make it clear, and you have to suffer this grievance. Because if you were a real revolutionary fighter, you wouldn't feel that it was a grievance. ”

Pang Zi was criticized like this, and he really felt extremely aggrieved. I have worked so hard for so long and participated in so many battles of life and death. It ended up like this. He thought that Wu Xingchen said this, and the political commissar of the division would not help him speak, but Chai Qingguo would help him speak. But after waiting for a long time, Chai Qingguo didn't say a word. And looking at his face, Chai Qingguo agreed with Wu Xingchen's words.

According to Pang Zi's personality, he will also compromise when faced with this situation. But he thought about it, he shouldn't have compromised to such an extent! Speaking from the bottom of my heart, if you work for the People's Party, you will not be able to share the silver or the small scales, and you will not be a high-ranking official, and you will be rich and prosperous, and all the goals of the People's Party are for the interests of the masses that you cannot fight with your own eight poles. What maintains Pang Zi's loyalty is the days of continuous victories, as well as the psychological pillar that can take revenge.

By now, he had understood that the point of Wu Xingchen's conflict with himself was really not revenge. Wu Xingchen asked Pang Zi to sincerely fight for the people. But Pang Zi understands his own heart, fighting for "brothers", or fighting for the future of Brother Wu Xingchen, Pang Zi still has this righteousness. But Pang Zi's thinking did not have the idea of "fighting for the people who are still alive" at all.

Of course, Wu Xingchen understood Pang Zi's thoughts, and he was more satisfied that Pang Zi remained silent, so he didn't fool himself with a few nonsense words.

Pang Zi didn't expect to say a few words about the scene now, and he also said very slippery things about "maintaining the township" and "doing some good things for the villagers". However, he didn't dare to say this to Wu Xingchen and Chai Qingguo. Both brothers are extremely serious and extremely intelligent. This kind of nonsense can't frighten the two of them.

After a long while, Pang Zi said: "Comrade Wu Xingchen, I will never mention the matter of revenge in the future. Wherever the party directs, I will fight. Fight for tomorrow for the people or something, you let me blow now, I can blow it for you. But I don't want to blow this, let me think about it slowly, okay? ”

Hearing Pang Zi say this, Wu Xingchen nodded emphatically, "Okay, now I will count you as if you have passed." In the future, you can't leave me behind in a political class. The experience of what should be done is not missing at all. You are telling the truth now, and you will have to tell the truth in the future. If you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out, but you can't talk nonsense. Be as upright as you are now. As a revolutionary soldier, you must be even more upright. Now you go and deal with the work you have accumulated in the past few days, and then talk to the political commissar. ”

Finally finished dealing with Pang Zi's affairs, and after Pang Zi and the division political commissar went out, Wu Xingchen let out a long sigh. If Pang Zi was really dishonest in the end, Wu Xingchen really didn't know how to report to Chen Ke. It's too difficult to fool Chen Ke. What's more, Wu Xingchen had no intention of deceiving Chen Ke at all.

"Commander Wu, are you going to report like this?" Chai Qingguo was a little worried.

"This kind of report is definitely okay, Comrade Pang Zi's thinking can't pass the test for the time being, it's not a problem. We didn't expect him to pass it now. ”

"But ......" Chai Qingguo was still a little worried.

"Comrade Chai Qingguo, you don't have to worry. Even if the mind does not pass, as long as you can obey the orders of the organization. The work is still capable. However, there is a premise for this, Pang Zi must not tell me nonsense. If it is a Pang Zi who is not good at thinking, I can still educate, if it is a Pang Zi who talks nonsense, how can I educate him? Revolution does not mean that you will shout two slogans, this is a revolutionary soldier. On the contrary, the revolution wants fighters who tell the truth. No matter how imperfect he is, we can arrange his work accordingly according to his situation. But as soon as he talks nonsense, how can I arrange him? ”

"But what if he can't get through?" Chai Qingguo finally spoke directly about his worries.

"He can pass the test because of what he thinks in his heart, not what he says. When he talks nonsense, he can't let him pass. This is not a child's house. ”

Since Wu Xingchen said so, Chai Qingguo asked, "Do you want me to persuade him?" ”

"You must not persuade him, as soon as you persuade him, he didn't want to be opportunistic, but now he thinks of being opportunistic. Comrade Chai Qingguo, this is an irresponsible approach to comrades. You can't fool people about this thing. You can say whatever you want, but as soon as you do it, everyone immediately understands that the position is ultimately reflected in the pursuit of interests. I'm still the same, Pang Zi didn't figure it out, he was still a warrior who didn't figure it out. If he talks nonsense, then he is a liar. We can tolerate a warrior who doesn't figure it out, but we can't tolerate a liar. ”

Chai Qingguo nodded again and again, "Brother Wu, you are really thinking about Pang Zi." ”

"If you really think about him, you must not let him talk nonsense. At present, as soon as the cadres and schools are opened, ideological and political work must be strictly grasped. Look at what happens to those who tell nonsense. Political review is no joke. "With experience in political trial, Wu Xingchen did not underestimate the comrades in charge of political trial work at all.

"I see." Chai Qingguo nodded again and again.

Here it is Wu Xingchen doing ideological work for Pang Zi, and over there it is Chen Ke doing ideological work for Yan Fu. The handsome old guy Yan Fu really didn't want to go to Beijing to be the offended prime minister. Chen Ke couldn't find a more suitable candidate than Yan Fu. Out of the needs of revolutionary work, Yan Fu also had to do something that he was reluctant to do.

"Mr. Yan, if you go to someone else, I'm afraid that you won't even be able to talk to Beiyang. If you go, you will be able to cooperate with the party's work in many things. ”

"I think the work of the naval school is very good." Yan Fu was unmoved.

"Then now we have to avoid a civil war first. The civil war together allowed the ill-intentioned people to profit from it. We have an obligation to protect China's interests. ”

"Chairman Chen, judging from this incident, the civil war cannot be fought." Yan Fu still shirked, "I'm not good at being an official, let alone being an official in this situation of being attacked on all sides." ”

"You have always read Mr. Yan's "Analysis of China's Strata". Where and how do you talk about the enemy? Chen Ke asked.

That article was completely plagiarized from Grandpa Mao's article, and Yan Fu felt very thorough after reading it, and he also thought about the deep things, "Is Chairman Chen so jealous of the intervention of Nationalism now?" ”

"If you want to liberate China, you have to overthrow three mountains, and nationalism is the first one. In the position of prime minister, you can always see clearly who is a vassal of the Nationalist regime in Beiyang. Until the Chinese revolutionary situation develops to the point of a full-scale war of liberation, we can temporarily tolerate the existence of the Beiyang government. However, we will never allow Beiyang to become a vassal of nationalism. If so, then the war of liberation must begin. In the cabinet, it is precisely the attitude of the Beiyang cabinet that can be seen from the best angle. If it is only to gather information from the periphery, there is a great possibility that this information will be misleading. ”

Chen Ke persuaded with all his heart, but Yan Fu disagreed. In the end, the situation froze. In the end, Chen Ke had to tell the truth, "Mr. Yan, civil war in Europe is inevitable, and it is very important to decide which side we choose to become an ally at that time. You became the prime minister in the Beiyang Cabinet, which was very effective in determining the direction of the situation. ”

"When will the European Civil War begin?" Yan Fu was extremely interested in this.

"I'm not sure about that, but if you serve in the cabinet for a while, you'll be able to see it in four years." Chen Ke is confident in this. "And not to mention the civil war in Europe, we in China must not have a civil war. After you become prime minister, Yuan Shikai will always believe that we have the sincerity of not fighting a civil war. He will definitely know what his son did, at that time, we just said that it would not cause a misunderstanding, would Yuan Shikai believe it? ”

Yan Fu has actually thought about many things about his appointment as prime minister, and he still has enough understanding of his own importance. It's just that he doesn't want to be put on the fire. Seeing that Chen Ke's attitude was so firm, Yan Fu had to temporarily choose to accept it.

"I'm fifty-seven this year, and I'll be prime minister for four years before I come back. The Navy Principal can't do it. Yan Fu said regretfully.

"You can rest assured, whether you can do it or not. You have always been the founder of the People's Naval Academy and the first president of the Naval Academy. At the entrance of the Naval Academy, a bronze statue of you will be sculpted. Chen Ke solemnly assured Yan Fu.
