Chapter 34 Dress Up (Part 1)
Just when Jinzhou City was officially established, Zhang Zuolin's troops gathered in the military camp and began to undergo unified dress changes. At the same time, there were political cadres stationed by the Military Commission to Zhang Zuolin's troops, and they also officially took office.
Although Zhang Zuolin's troops have been upgraded to regiment organization, they are recruited and promoted by Zhang Zuolin from soldiers to officers. The People's Army did not interfere. To a certain extent, this army is still Zhang Zuolin's private army. The Military Commission only sent political cadres to Zhang Zuolin's troops. Of course, Zhang Zuolin could not refuse this. First, all the troops of the People's Army are like this, and there are political cadres, not only for Zhang Zuolin's troops, so they are naturally no exception. Second, when Bi Jing was Zhang Zuolin taking the initiative to surrender to the People's Army, he naturally had to respect the rules and regulations of the People's Army. Moreover, Zhang Zuolin has no capital to bargain with the People's Army now.
Although Zhang Zuolin did not understand what political cadres were, he understood that these people were actually the military supervisors sent by the People's Army to his team. Zhang Zuolin could understand that if he was the head of the People's Army, the same would have happened. However, the number of people was too large. He was only a mere regiment, less than 3,000 people, and he had sent more than a dozen people, and he started to arrange them from the company level. Is it necessary to have so many people? However, even though it was the People's Army's rules, Zhang Zuolin could not say anything. In addition, he was still very confident in his team. After all, this was a team he had raised. Almost all officers at all levels were either Zhang Zuolin's old brothers or Zhang Zuolin promoted, and most of the soldiers were Zhang Zuolin's fellow townsmen. Therefore, Zhang Zuolin was quite confident in the control of this army.
In fact, the East China ** and the Military Commission dispatched political cadres to Zhang Zuolin's troops, in addition to the normal staffing and personnel arrangements of the People's Army, also had an important goal, which was to use Zhang Zuolin's troops as an experiment to see how strong the political cadres the Military Commission has trained over six years have.
Zhang Zuolin was the first team to surrender to the East China *** with a whole team, and has never been there before. Both the East China ** and the Military Commission attached great importance to it, because in the future battle to unify the whole country, there will definitely be established military uprisings in front of the formation, or actively surrendering to the East China ***. So how to deal with these armies is one of the problems that the People's Army will face in the future.
The army of this era has a very distinctive commonality, that is, the superior has a great influence on this army, and it is even basically the leader's private army. For example, Zhang Zuolin's army is basically the case, but East China's ** obviously cannot accept that there is such an army in the People's Army. All the troops' loyalty objects should be the state or the emperor, not the individual, so such an army must be transformed. Zhang Zuolin's army can be used as a test field to accumulate corresponding experience from it.
However, there is considerable controversy in the Military Commission for the specific transformation method. Some people suggest that Zhang Zuolin's troops be split and then distributed to other troops; some people think that Zhang Zuolin's troops should be mixed with sand and gradually replaced the soldiers in Zhang Zuolin's troops with soldiers trained by the People's Army; and some people advocated that political cadres should be allowed to do their work.
In the end, the Military Commission decided to first adopt the method of working political cadres. Although the previous suggestion is easier, it is only suitable for peacetime, but now it is in wartime. This approach will damage the combat effectiveness of the army. In addition, the Military Commission also wants to see how much energy political cadres have.
The veterans of the People's Army adhered to the tradition of the old time and space, attached great importance to the political education of the army, and regarded it as the most powerful guarantee for ensuring the combat effectiveness of the People's Army, loyalty to the **, and excellent work style. Therefore, since the People's Army formed an army, it focused on cultivating political cadres. After the establishment of the East China **, it set up political cadres in the army based on the standards of branch building in the company, training the combat effectiveness of the army while paying attention to and discovering political cadres.
Now that the People's Army has been in the army for six years, it has also cultivated a group of political cadres and methods of political education for the army, and played a very important role in the People's Army. However, the Military Commission has also spent a lot of effort to do so. In a sense, it is more difficult to cultivate a qualified political cadre than to cultivate a qualified military commander, because military commanders only need to have corresponding military knowledge and practical experience, while political cadres must first have certain cultural knowledge, not only to be able to look at and calculate, but
It also needs to be able to write, otherwise it will not be able to do political work well. This is quite difficult. The literacy rate in this era is not high. Secondly, political cadres must have a deep understanding of the governance concept of East China and the People's Army's concept of building the army. They must understand what kind of country the East China plans to build China into. The People's Army fights for it, otherwise it will be impossible to provide good political education to soldiers. In addition, political cadres must also have certain organizational communication skills, and it is best to have some literary and artistic performance skills.
However, so far, the political cadres of the People's Army are mainly facing the recruited soldiers, and relatively speaking, they are relatively easier to do their work. Bi Jing lived within the rule of the East China **, and they also deeply understood the comparison between the new and old social environments, have a deeper recognition and feelings for the East China **, and of course they are more likely to receive education from political cadres. However, in the old time and space, a large part of the political work of the veterans was targeting prisoners, surrenders, surrenders, and uprising enemy troops, and their achievements were quite impressive. Therefore, this time, we will take Zhang Zuolin's troops to practice and try out the quality of the political cadres trained by the People's Army.
This time, the political commissar of Zhang Zuolin's army was named Li Jianzhou, who mainly accepted this task, because in the old time and space, he liked to listen to Mr. Shan's storytelling, and adapted Mr. Shan's masterpieces, based on Zhang Zuolin's life experience, and listened to the storytelling "Heroes of Troubled Times" more than ten times, and he could almost say it according to the same thing. Therefore, he was also quite interested in Zhang Zuolin. So when selecting the political commissar of Zhang Zuolin's army, he took the initiative to register and assumed this position, and vowed to take on the responsibility that he must transform Zhang Zuolin into a qualified revolutionary soldier.
Of course, this is an important battle carried out by the political cadres of the People's Army, so it is necessary to concentrate elite troops and generals. The political cadres in the company battalion were all outstanding personnel drawn from the People's Army units left behind in Shandong, and also made a special trip to conduct a five-day training.
In addition to his work, Qin Zheng specially formulated three working principles for them based on his years of military and political work experience. The first is that he must go deep into the grassroots, get along with ordinary soldiers, eat and live together. He cannot be arrogant and treat himself as his superiors just because the other party surrenders, and he cannot look down on them just because the other party is a bandit, but should treat them equally and communicate with others. This is the work basis of political cadres. Only in this way can political cadres be recognized by ordinary soldiers, and ordinary soldiers can be happy with them, express their ideas, and facilitate political cadres to carry out their work.
The second article is that the relationship with the military chief must be handled well, because they must pay attention to maintaining the authority of the military chief and not interfere with military command. In fact, the conflict between political cadres and military chiefs is also a problem that exists in the old time and space. Because most military chiefs have some problems, because they are military chiefs who can fight and can fight are almost all of them. Once they are not handled well, they will ultimately cause conflicts between military and political affairs, which will affect the combat effectiveness of the army, and in serious cases, it will also cause the army.
Therefore, it is very important to maintain the authority of the military chief. Without the support of the military chief, political cadres cannot do a good job. The army is used for wars. No matter how good the politics is, it is useless. In addition, among political cadres, although there are not many people with considerable military capabilities, the highest military command power of the army is the military chief. There must be no two commanders in a military command. In terms of military command, political cadres must obey the military chief.
The third article is that the general principle must be adhered to to the end and there cannot be any concessions, but the scales can be flexibly grasped. The so-called general principle here refers to the systems and disciplines formulated by the People's Army. These systems and disciplines cannot be implemented mechanically. Some of them have no room for concessions, such as robbing the people, greed, killing innocent people, and escaping at the battle. But some can be flexibly controlled. For example, in principle, the People's Army prohibits the commander from beating and scolding soldiers, but in reality, it is almost impossible for the army to not speak swear words. In addition, if you are anxious, it is also a common event to start a fight. In addition, although combat plans are formulated before the war, the battlefield changes rapidly, and military commanders often make unscrupulous plans based on the actual situation of the battlefield, which is reasonable. But how to grasp these standards can only rely on personal experience and judgment.
Qin Zheng believes that as long as these three principles are done well, there will be no major problems in the political work in Zhang Zuolin's troops.
After Zhang Zuolin's troops gathered, he first announced that political cadres at all levels would take office. Zhang Zuolin also welcomed the arrival of these people. Li Jianzhou also spoke on behalf of all political cadres. At least the atmosphere at the scene was still very harmonious.
Next is to change weapons. Each soldier was given a tactical vest, a Type 01 rifle, a bayonet, a marching kettle and a marching backpack. All weapons were brand new. The rifles and bayonets were wrapped in oil paper and unpacked in person. Because the military uniforms had been sent, there were no this time. In addition, each squad was equipped with 4 engineer shovels and two grenade launchers. Of course, the members of the class had to take turns to use grenade launchers, and all the weapons used by soldiers were handed over to be unifiedly destroyed.
