Chapter 29 Criticism and Conclusion
"Everyone has it, stand at attention!"

On the square in front of Majiazhai, more than a hundred soldiers of the People's Army stood in six rows against the sun, surrounded by a circle of old and weak. Liu Ze stood on a wooden platform, suppressed his anger and looked down, Beads of sweat dripped from the foreheads of the soldiers below because of the hot weather, but they dared not reach out to wipe them off. They just stood silently, listening to Liu Ze's lecture with lowered eyes.

"Yesterday we went to chase the grain carts in Hexi Village. Some people ran away when they saw the ambushes on the opposite side! Disorganized and disciplined! It's outrageous! I told you all my lies, don't listen! Our team You fight for the poor, don't you want to take revenge on those old rich landlords?"

The children running around made faces and laughed at the soldiers who bowed their heads in shame: "Shame! Haha!"

Liu Ze glared at them, and those children ran away to play elsewhere.

"Today, some people became deserters, but some people were good. They followed me all the time and scared away the brave men from Baihuling! What does this mean?"

Liu Ze clenched his right hand and raised it to the top of his head: "This shows that those brave men don't care about their numbers, but they are afraid of us, which means there are good men in our team!"

"I'm here to praise the good guys who didn't run away! Everyone applaud! Learn from them and become real fighters as soon as possible!" Liu Ze took the lead in applauding, and there was also a round of applause in the square.

"These comrades who dare to face the enemy are qualified as officers of our team!"

"Here, I announce the appointment of the first platoon leader: Wang Shanbao, the second platoon leader is Li Kefu, the third platoon leader is: Yang Zeming, we must learn from them, and the others will be promoted to fill the vacant officer positions. There are still some vacancies for other people, and tomorrow we have to go to other villages, this is an opportunity for meritorious service and promotion! This time we are not going to borrow food, this time we are going to beat the landlord and avenge us poor people!"

Hearing this, the square buzzed into chaos, whether it was the soldiers or the crowd, all eyes were on the three people standing beside Liu Ze, full of envy, jealousy and admiration.

"Quiet! There will be opportunities like this in the future, and all of us must learn from them! And now we are short of food, so cheer me up for tomorrow's task!"

Looking at the crooked soldiers in the queue, Liu Ze yelled angrily, "Stand up for me! Look at how you guys look like they can fight? If you don't want to avenge yourself, no Stand up if you are willing to do it with me, our team is free to come and go! I will never make things difficult!"

After Liu Ze finished cursing, no one really stood up, so Liu Ze calmed down and continued: "About our team, I would like to add a few regulations, that is, in the future, in battle and in life, we must actively select models and make meritorious deeds." The officers and soldiers of each department must record each other's performance, and each platoon must establish a credit book!"

Seeing the incomprehensible expressions of the soldiers in the audience, Liu Ze explained again: "Just like Wang Shanbao, Li Kefu, and Yang Zeming today, meritorious deeds are rewarded, and we will make contributions to the peasants and the poor in the future!"

"There is a lack of officers and non-commissioned officers in the team. These will be judged from future battles and life. You can only be selected if you have merit! You must be selected if you have merit!"

Seeing Lao Kong winking at Liu Ze in the audience, Liu Ze understood: "There is one last thing. In the future, when judging merits, more literacy is the priority. Especially you three platoon leaders, you must work hard to learn cultural knowledge. Become a member of our public association! The meeting will be adjourned! Prepare to make dinner!"

Lao Kong heard Liu Ze's order to make the people more literate, and nodded while stroking his beard under the stage.

Cheng Mo looked at Lao Kong's complacent look and became furious. He snorted coldly and said, "It's easy for you. It's not like I was appointed by him as a propaganda committee member. I have endless work to do!"

Seeing Cheng Mo's disapproving look, Lao Kong shook his head and walked away ignoring him, but Guo Shunwang, who was next to him, listened to Cheng Mo's words and leaned his head over and said, "Old Cheng, you're not bad, I'm just I ran away a few steps with the crowd yesterday, and today I was lectured by the commander. I didn’t know why and said that I was revoked as a member of the public association.

Cheng Mo flicked his head: "You, we gave you winks yesterday, and you still ran away! You and I are old people who follow the commander, so can the commander let you go?"

Guo Shunwang explained unhappily: "Then everyone has to run away! All of a sudden, there are gongs and trumpets, and there are firecrackers facing us. How can we not run away? This is human nature."

"Indeed, human nature!" Cheng Mo said, touching his head after pondering for a moment, "If it weren't for the commander, he would have stood beside us, and we would have escaped too! This morning he even praised me for coming, saying that we are always strong and strong, and we are not afraid of danger! Hehe."

Guo Shunwang heard that Cheng Mo, a coward, was praised, and he didn't like it in his heart. He really frightened the thief by running around in the middle of the night, and the bird droppings fell on the tip of his nose. It's a coincidence. If I had known, I would have stayed with Cheng Mo yesterday by the commander's side. Well, anyway, when the Bai family came, there was a commander standing in front of them. If the commander really failed, if he ran away again, he would not be caught in any wrong place.

With a bitter face, Guo Shunwang complained to Cheng Mo: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have escaped, so I was scolded twice today, and I was scolded by the commander in the kitchen in the morning, and I was scolded with the big guys just after the meeting." Dun, why am I so miserable?"

Seeing Guo Shunwang's appearance, Cheng Mo didn't know what to say, so he comforted Guo Shunwang: "Let's talk about this, I think the commander can still do great things, you, be careful next time, don't run away, just in case The commander is done, what's the matter with you? Right? If it really doesn't work, let's slip away again."

At this time, Wang Shanbao happened to pass by, and when he heard Guo Shunwang and Cheng Mo muttering together, and also heard the word commander, he couldn't help slowing down and asked, "What's the matter, Commander?"

Seeing that Wang Shanbao, a little follower, also came over, both Cheng Mo and Guo Shunwang knew that he was Liu Ze's diehard loyalist, and they talked about him from left to right. The kid filed a complaint.

Wang Shanbao didn't take it seriously when he saw them leaving in a hurry, and hurried to the stage with the things Liu Ze ordered.

Liu Ze on the stage didn't notice the abnormal situation in the audience at all. He turned his head to the three new platoon leaders and said, "You guys go to assemble your respective platoons in a while, get to know each other, and you must According to what I said, insist that officers and soldiers should be the same. You can eat whatever the soldiers eat. Our team is too poor now, and there is no military salary, so we must do this, and report any thoughts in the team immediately Give it to me, understand?"

"understand!"

Liu Ze took the notebook and black carbon head he made from Wang Shanbao, turned around and said, "This is something I made with my own hands, and I give it to you. I hope you will make good progress."

"Make good progress!" The three replied in unison, as if they were in a classroom in the 21st century.
