Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
On the evening of the same day, a drama called Blood Debt was performed in the big tent of the political department, which was actually a start rather than a rehearsal. The background of this drama is taken in the area of Laizhou, Shandong, which tells the story of the suffering of the peasant Xu Laohan's family since the first day of the war, among the four sons, the eldest son was killed by Japanese soldiers when he helped the Qing court in Lushun, and the second son was killed by the foreign priest at the behest of the government in order to defend the Jade Emperor Temple in the village, and the land at home was also robbed by the parishioners. For the sake of his youngest son's marriage, Xu Laohan picked up a little daughter-in-law on the road. After the family of five arrived in the capital, the third son with craftsmanship opened a shoe repair shop, the younger son became a rickshaw driver, and the daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law served their father at home.
But the days didn't last long, in the year of Gengzi, the third son who opened a shoe repair shop with a little skill was killed by the Boxers because he didn't repair the bloody boots of the murderous foreign soldiers, and the daughter-in-law was also killed... After that, he hanged himself. Guannai can't stand up, I heard that the little son who is easy to live outside the Guan, took his father and little daughter-in-law to Kanto, who knew that he went halfway to the road, and he was caught by the banner landlord when he went to steal food, and before being rescued by the revival army, his father starved to death, and the little daughter-in-law committed suicide after being insulted by the flag man.
The whole play is very well written, and the acting is also very good, although some of the dialogues in it express deep truth, but the language is very simple and straightforward, so that everyone can understand. The analysis of China's current situation in the special play is also from shallow to deep, and the eldest son died of the country's poverty. The second son died in the government under the hook of foreigners, and the third son wanted to escape. But even the feet of the Son of Heaven are not in peace, as for what happened to the younger son, it shows why the current situation of the country is like this, especially before joining the Renaissance Army, an officer also explained to the younger son why the Renaissance Army should help foreigners fight foreigners.
In addition to being reasonable in the play, the plot is also very sensational, but Yang Rui didn't cry at all, he asked Liu Boyuan, who was crying next to him: "This play is very well rehearsed." Who wrote the script? ”
Yang Rui's question made Liu Boyuan stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Yang Rui to not read the previous explanation, so he said: "Sir, this play is real, not made up." ”
"Really?!"
"It's true. Now the youngest son is a platoon commander in the first brigade and three regiments, and the regiment commander Li Shutong heard what happened to him, so he wrote about it after processing it a little. Liu Boyuan said while wiping his tears. He hadn't been so excited when he read the script before, but Yan Wan didn't know how he cried.
"Uncle Li of the third regiment?" Yang Rui remembered this person and said, "Then if this little son is not stupid and has combat merits, he will be promoted to be a company commander." ”
"Yes. Mr! Liu Boyuan agreed, in fact, he had already had this intention, and he should be promoted by one level, especially since the company commander communicated with the General Staff. Of course, in order not to affect combat effectiveness. This kind of promotion based on politics is actually not too much.
After promoting the prototype character, Yang Rui said: "The local charm is already very sufficient, and the actors are also good." But how many of these plays can be staged at the same time? "Because there are no microphones and the like, the number of people watching the movie at a time is about one battalion, and it is difficult to hear and see clearly when there are too many people. Now there are more than 40,000 troops, and they have to go through all of them fifty or sixty times.
"There are already three crews, and it is estimated that it will take a month for the whole army to watch them once." Because the dialogues in the play are all Shandong's dialect, people in Shanghai can't help, so there are fewer people who can act.
"That's too little. To increase the number of people, there must be at least five crews. Yang Rui instructed: "In addition, the drummers who dubbed during the performance can go to Shanghai to find people, and these people can play music, and it is best to add erhu to the soundtrack." ”
Liu Boyuan kept in mind, just waiting for Yang Rui to say erhu, he was stunned and understood, he was from Jiangsu, erhu is often heard, and it couldn't be better to have an erhu in those sad places, he immediately said, "Okay, sir." I'll send a telegram to Shanghai right away. ”
"Are there any other plays besides this play?" Yang Rui knew that the art troupe of later generations, the power of propaganda is not only to attract revolutionaries externally, but also to repeatedly publicize within the organization, we must dig out hatred, we must make everyone hate, this is the source of power for rebellion since ancient times, it is useless to only yearn for beautiful ideals, most of the classic revolutionary literary and artistic works in later generations are to provoke hatred, and a small number of them are to erect an example of sacrifice. Hatred is always the theme of revolutionary literature and art.
"There are three more, but they are still rehearsed ......"
"Then hurry up rehearsals. The art troupe is very capable of stimulating the combat effectiveness of the troops. There is also a combination of drama and grievance meeting, Fan An, can you cry now that you have a grievance meeting? Yang Rui said and thought of another form of grievance meeting of the art troupe - after seeing through Mao, he was already enlightened.
"Commander, I've thought of a lot of ways, it's certain to cry now, if I can cry together with the whole battalion, I can't say." Fan An himself is a person who has suffered, and after complaining about the failure of the miners' camp before, he thought about it repeatedly and made a lot of improvements.
"Tell me what you've come up with?" Yang Rui was afraid that he would not have a deep understanding of the grievances, and he had the heart to test him.
"I ......" felt that the commander was bent on testing himself, Fan An tensed up, and lost his voice after saying a word.
"Don't worry, speak slowly, speak slowly."
"Yes, Commander." Fan An came to his senses and began to say: "Complaining will make everyone cry, it is very important how to complain, and it is also important to complain about what kind of suffering." The last time I went to the miners' camp, the complaint was not good, and the grievance was not right. Fan An said while looking at the look on Yang Rui's face, and seeing that Yang Rui had a sense of approval, he said it more fluently. When I first held a grievance meeting, I was looking for some people who had been bullied by foreigners outside, and I could say that it was not miserable to say how I was bullied from beginning to end, and the people who were bullied very badly cried by themselves without saying a word, so the effect was not very good, and I was greedy at that time. At the meeting, all the miners gathered together, and the scene was chaotic. The people in the audience couldn't hear what was being said at all. ”
Fan An roughly finished talking about the previous lesson, then stopped and looked directly at Yang Rui, after all, he had suffered, and he was not a protégé of the Son of Heaven - Fan An thought in his heart that Yang Rui would be the emperor in the future, and those military academy students were all protégés of the Son of Heaven, so he was not as confident as those protégés of the Son of Heaven, and he would be observant of words and deeds when he spoke and did.
"You're right, the form of the lawsuit is important. The bitterness of the complaint is also important. It seems that you really know why you failed before. Yang Rui lived up to his expectations and expressed great affirmation of the above words, "Then understand these shortcomings, and now what improvements have been made?" ”
"Report to the commander, ...... complain now" Speaking of this, Fan An stopped, and then said with a nervous face: "Commander." Not far away, there is a well-arranged grievance meeting place, which is used for the training of these political commissars. I'm waiting for you to check it out? ”
Unexpectedly, there was a ready-made model of the grievance venue, Yang Rui smiled, "Okay, go and have a look." ”
Fan An's grievance meeting was not far from the theater tent, and when Yang Rui came over, he had already asked people to light the lights. It's just that the number of horse lanterns is not enough, and it is very dim inside. However, as soon as Yang Rui walked in, he felt a dark expression, this small tent was not so much a grievance hall as a mourning hall. Behind the grievance platform at the front is a memorial wreath made of pine branches and paper flowers. Under the wreath enshrined the spirit card of the victim's relatives, a pair of big "vomit bitter water hundreds of millions of old hatred, show determination not to forget the new hatred" of the elegiac couplet hung on both sides of the grievance platform, particularly eye-catching, the venue is also plastered with all kinds of slogans around the venue, the whole venue is solemn and solemn.
"Commander, this is the grievance hall that is being arranged now, and there will be a big broadcast on it when the meeting is held, so that everyone can hear what they are saying." Fan An has been observing Yang Rui's expression, and when he saw Yang Rui's expression change from puzzled to approving before he began to speak, "In the past, I basically looked for people from outside to complain to everyone, which was not good, and I couldn't empathize, but now the practice is to find a model among the soldiers, a venue can sit in a battalion, and there are always a lot of people in a battalion who have suffered from foreigners and tartars. When they started talking, the whole camp wanted to cry, and as soon as they finished speaking, the whole camp started crying.
After everyone cried, the political commissar went up again and told everyone why it was so bitter and how not to be so bitter, so that everyone could hear it. Seeing Yang Rui nodding, Fan An said again: "Then let everyone sacrifice to the dead father and mother, it is best to swear revenge in front of the spirit, so that they will become good soldiers after a trip." ”
"Good. However, have you ever done this set, and how does it work? Yang Rui was surprised that he could make the grievance meeting look like this, not to mention others, even as soon as he came in, he had to be infected by this atmosphere, while he praised Fan An on his face, he couldn't help but think a few more times in his heart.
"Yes, as long as you can cry, it works well. The worse you cry, the better the effect. The officers of the unit said that one battalion beat one battalion of the enemy before crying, and after crying, one battalion could beat two battalions of the enemy. "There were some political commissars in the army before, and some political methods were still used, in many experiences, Fan An summed up such a set of methods, and now he just gave Yang Rui a brief introduction, if you say it carefully, it is estimated that one night is not enough.
"Good! Good! You deserve praise for a job well done. Yang Rui knew that what he said was right, as long as his hatred was cried out, not in the case of persuasion but encouragement, then the hatred would penetrate into the soul very deeply, especially there was a group effect, if there was crying in a tent, even if you didn't cry, you would be led to cry.
After praising Fan An, Yang Rui said, "There is another problem that needs to be paid attention to, that is, the suffering that many people complain about is not the suffering of foreigners, not the suffering of the Manchu Dynasty, but the suffering of other people such as landlords and businessmen. In order to prevent sudden situations, it is best to be prepared in advance and know what to say in what situations. Anyway, in a word, the reason why they will suffer is that the Manchurians are not good, and the Qing government is not good. As for the famines, floods, and catastrophes, they were all caused by the Manchu Qing Dynasty anyway! Yang Rui entered the state a little and began to express his opinions in depth, "In addition." That is, we must compare the regime we will establish in the future with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and say that we are good. To say that the Manchu Qing is not good, it is necessary to be specific and say that it is good, not empty.
Also, didn't there be a copy of the Manchu black materials last time, telling the soldiers the scores of those Manchu loans, indemnities, and land cuts, the money for Cixi's birthday every time, and how many dishes she ate at each meal. There is also someone to find out about the actual situation in Shandong. We need to explain why there was that flood, why there was a natural disaster, and why there was a natural disaster, and what the taxes were, why this donation was collected, and why that donation was collected, and we should relate these things together, so that they can logically know that their suffering is the harm of the Manchus. ”
A lot of rambling was finished. Liu Boyuan's small notebook came out again, while Fan An was a step slower, and by the time his deputy helped him bring the notebook, Yang Rui had already finished speaking. In fact, as long as you know how to pull hatred, then the idea will be clear, and everyone will be able to think of it. There is only one meaning of all Yang Rui's words: natural disasters**, birth, old age, sickness and death, including sows not giving birth, drinking cold water and being choked, are all full of harm. And what about the soldiers. It is to remember this hatred.
After the complaint is finished, then the next thing is to check the three checks and three rectifications, according to the unfinished street text in the notebook, the three checks are to check the class, check the work, check the fighting spirit, and the three are the whole discipline, the whole style, and the whole system, but when Yang Rui introduced these things. Replace the inspection class with the investigation of the details, in fact, the soldiers will be reduced to fleeing the famine. There is basically no problem with the bottom line.
"It's okay to complain, but I don't know what about three checks and three rectifications?" Yang Rui asked.
As soon as he said three checks and three rectifications, Liu Boyuan and Fan An's expressions changed, the two glanced at each other, and Liu Boyuan said: "Sir, this may involve officers, and it is not so easy to do." ”
"Involving an officer?" Yang Rui was a little strange.
"Yes, sir." Liu Boyuan pondered the words, and then said: "Actually, the officers are okay here, but everyone's family background is good, and it is natural to look at the mud legs...... It's a little bit less important......"
Liu Boyuan said very tactfully, but Yang Rui can still understand what he means, the officers are all from students, and those who can afford to read in this era are basically rich, like Chen Guangshou, the poor are still in the minority, the family is a young master, and the military academy is to be educated to be an honorary officer, everyone's leather shoes are very polished, how can you get along with the soldiers. This is indeed a problem, especially since these people who can be selected to enter the military academy are always talented, and arrogance is an inherent characteristic of scholars in this era.
"What about discipline?" Yang Rui asked again.
"The discipline is fine, they are all from the revolution, and they have received a military school education, so the discipline is very strict. It is...... It's that Zhengrui's side has beaten and scolded the soldiers, but those soldiers obey him, and after the last war, those soldiers have also changed. The situation is all fine now. Liu Boyuan said that he knew about 6 Mengxiong, but he felt that Yang Rui had always valued him, so as long as many things were not over, he would still turn a blind eye.
It's 6 Mengxiong again, this guy is the last time he took the new battalion to block the night attack of the Japanese army, it's really troublesome. After thinking about it for a while, Yang Rui said: "In the name of the Ministry of Political Affairs, you directly give him a personal warning, and the next time you beat and scold the soldiers, you will be disciplined, and this guy can't stop a little." Even if you want to violate military regulations, you must also pay attention to proportion. ”
"Sir, this is not good. Now his soldiers are all trained by him very well, if the political department intervenes, the soldiers must know that someone supports them, then it will be the opposite. Liu Boyuan took into account the obedience of the team, so he said this.
"I can't tolerate it. What if the soldiers and officers he beat run away? Hatred is usually accumulated, and there is no chance now, and when there is a chance, the person who has hatred in his heart will retaliate. Now it's not about investigating what happened before, but about asking Zheng Rui not to beat and scold soldiers at will in the future, this is very important! In addition, you can choose one of the political commissars sent to the newly organized battalion, and you must be able to hold down the field. Yang Rui said. After saying this, he said to Fan An, "When complaining, if a soldier says that the officer beats and scolds the soldier, also write it down, don't be afraid that this will mess up the ranks, and if we don't call the shots for the soldiers, then we won't get their support, and if we don't get support, then there will be no way to start ideological education." In wartime or military matters, the troops listen to the officers; In peacetime or non-military matters, the troops obey the political commissar, and this is the basic principle of the renaissance army's army management. ”
"Yes, sir!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Liu Boyuan and Fan An replied in unison, Yang Rui's words completely raised the status of the political commissar to a very high position, which they did not expect. Before, they only managed the army from military discipline, of course, this is actually mainly for soldiers and not officers, after all, they are all classmates, even if there is a violation of discipline that is not strict, the political department will turn a blind eye, and since the establishment of the army, it has been fighting, and the role of officers is extremely important. But now there is a truce soon, and at the same time, the political commissar is also complete, so Yang Rui has to make such an adjustment.
Of course, this kind of transformation is to first ventilate with all the officers, with a few battles, the prestige of the officers has been achieved, to honestly listen to the political commissar fiddling with their troops, or to do their ideological work first, and this work can only be done by Yang Rui, because he is the founder of the organization, the founder of the army, only he can have such prestige to suppress them, although it is difficult, but he must do it.
