After graduating from Tian Guizi's cadre training class, Zhao Yucheng was first assigned to the army as an instructor.
He was assigned to a recruit team, led the surrendered soldiers to hold grievance meetings, and led them to participate in public trials organized by the entire army.
He saw with his own eyes the transformation of the surrendered soldiers captured by the Liberation Army after the grievance meeting and public trial meeting. He saw with his own eyes that they changed from cowardly and numb deserters to warriors who shouted forward and fought bravely.
They may have been soldiers surrendered by the Jin army, or they may have been strong men captured by the Jin army. They fought actively or passively with the Liberation Army and became prisoners after being defeated.
At the beginning, their condition was very poor. They were submissive, timid, and cautious in everything they did. They were afraid of being beaten or killed. Apart from being cowardly, they were numb and lifeless.
But after experiencing several grievance meetings and participating in several public trials, they changed.
In the following cultural classes and political classes, they became more and more active, lively, and full of vitality and tension.
Then, they became real Liberation Army soldiers.
Zhao Yucheng led these soldiers who had transformed his ideas with the Liberation Army to move forward bravely, fighting bloody battles with the enemy and accumulating merit.
Before the liberation of Yanyun, he became a battalion-level instructor based on his hard work, and was named and commended many times in the entire brigade. He was very outstanding.
After the Yanyun War, due to lack of political manpower, Zhao Yucheng was transferred to the village as a resident instructor and temporarily left the army.
After taking office as the village instructor, he saw the shocking poverty and ruin among the real people, as well as the cruel exploitation and oppression.
So he took the villagers to a public trial and led them to fight against the local tyrants to divide their fields, which changed their destiny.
He watched the farmers who got the land excitedly rolling on the land they were assigned, and even slept on the land they were assigned, stroking the soil that seemed to him wet and dirty so affectionately.
He saw An Xie, a gray-haired old farmer, holding his hand. Tears ran down his wrinkled cheeks, falling to the ground drop by drop, and he expressed his gratitude to him with choked sobs.
Zhao Yucheng's eyes were moist, and he cried with them, unable to make a sound.
During this process, Zhao Yucheng understood what class is, what contradiction is, the tragedy caused by exploitation and the real life of the people at the bottom, and what the real purpose of the Liberation Army under the leadership of Su Yonglin was.
He saw the numbness and poverty of the old world and the vitality and hope of the new world.
He began to look at his present, his past and his future with new thoughts and eyes.
After that, Su Yonglin had another frank talk with Zhao Yucheng.
He told Zhao Yucheng the story from when he was nine years old until now, and told Zhao Yucheng the transformation of his thoughts.
Finally, Su Yonglin told Zhao Yucheng that even if Zhao Kaishan did not die, he would part ways with Zhao Kaishan in the future.
They were not on the same page from the beginning.
Su Yonglin's goal is to eradicate the landlord class, completely eliminate it, crush all superior people, end exploitation and oppression, create a new future, and lead everyone on a path different from the past.
Whoever is a superior person and whoever tries to pull them back to the original track is his enemy.
He shows no mercy.
According to this statement, Zhao Yucheng discovered that the Zhao family also existed in this way.
"If the Zhao family does not destroy itself, will the Zhao family be destroyed in your hands in the future? Uncle Yuting?"
Zhao Yucheng asked Su Yonglin this way on his first day as village instructor.
Su Yonglin gave him an accurate answer.
"Yes, unless they lose their minds, hand over their land and tenant registration, fully cooperate with my actions, and transform from exploiters to productive builders."
After hearing this, Zhao Yucheng just smiled and said nothing.
A few days later, Zhao Yucheng brought several boxes to see Su Yonglin. When he opened the boxes, they were all filled with the Zhao family's land deed and the tenant's lease contract.
The land and property of other branches of the Zhao family were confiscated. This was the punishment they had to accept for participating in the murder of Zhao Kaishan. It was fair and square, and everyone knew it.
But Zhao Yucheng did not know the deep relationship behind this at the time.
The properties of Zhao Zuoliang and Zhao Yucheng were retained. Not to mention Zhao Zuoliang, at least the huge amount of money saved by Zhao Kaishan and the real estate of 80,000 acres of land were all left to Zhao Yucheng.
Therefore, Zhao Yucheng is also a top-ranking big landowner. In the Linyi area, there are still a large number of tenants farming for Zhao Yucheng. Zhao Yucheng's annual grain income is enough for him to spend all his life.
Now, Zhao Yucheng put all the land deeds and tenant contracts in a box and handed them to Su Yonglin.
"Uncle Yuting, from now on, Zhao Yucheng is no longer an exploiter."
Su Yonglin looked at Zhao Yucheng's sincere smile without a trace of falsehood, walked up to Zhao Yucheng, and held his hand.
"From today on, Yucheng, you are no longer an exploiter, you are a builder, and you are still my comrade."
Su Yonglin decided to be the guarantor himself and wrote to the Central Committee of the Renaissance to recommend Zhao Yucheng to join the Renaissance.
After a conversation with Zhao Yucheng, someone from the Central Organization Department of the Renaissance Society recognized Zhao Yucheng's ideas and goals and accepted Zhao Yucheng as a member of the Renaissance Society.
Everything about the revival meeting was opened to Zhao Yucheng.
Only then did Zhao Yucheng know that Su Yonglin had secretly built the Fuxing Association into his true base, gathering all the people who supported his ideas, gathered together, and were silently accumulating strength, always preparing for a great battle. .
Before Su Changsheng and Yao Hongfang arrived in Zhongdu, Su Yonglin was planning to promote more than 20 outstanding village instructors, including Zhao Yucheng, to township-level farmers' association instructors to give them more training.
But now that the situation has changed, this plan needs to be changed.
Zhao Yucheng is one of the few instructors in the army who is not only educated, thoughtful, but also experienced in large-scale military command, and he was basically brought up by Su Yonglin. Therefore, Su Yonglin has high hopes for him and hopes that he can achieve something on his own. What.
And Zhao Yucheng himself also has a strong desire to make a career.
Therefore, Su Yonglin decided to hand over this task to Zhao Yucheng, allowing him to say goodbye to his past and welcome a new future.
As a result, the resolution to establish the second Renaissance Society branch in the Southern Song Dynasty was passed. Su Yonglin personally presided over the central meeting of the Renaissance Society. According to the results of the meeting, it was decided that Zhao Yucheng should serve as the director of the Jiangnan West Road Renaissance Society branch.
The meeting decided that he would lead the team south to develop the Renaissance organization in the mountainous area of Jiangnan West Road where the Southern Song Dynasty's rule was weak. He would organize farmers to launch a struggle against exploitation and oppression, establish a certain scale of the Renaissance's sphere of influence, and make every effort to maintain the long-term struggle. .
They needed to establish a broad popular base in the local area and lay the foundation for the Revival Society to penetrate deeply into the Southern Song Dynasty and completely transform the Southern Song Dynasty.
Of course, they were not alone in this action.
Today is different from the past. The Liberation Army is also wealthy and has money. At least there will be no shortage of start-up funds and manpower.
At the meeting, Su Yonglin selected a group of political and military talents to serve as Zhao Yucheng's assistants, and approved a considerable amount of funds for them.
Then Su Yonglin organized a meeting of the Staff Department to discuss where Zhao Yucheng and others could start.
The Chief of Staff unanimously agreed that the mountainous and complex terrain was more conducive to Zhao Yucheng and others' self-protection when they were still weak compared to plain areas.
Therefore, everyone finally chose the Jizhou and Nan'an armies on the mountainous Southern Song Dynasty Jiangnan West Road as the entry point for Zhao Yucheng and others to enter the situation of the Southern Song Dynasty. It was recommended that they go here to conduct inspections, preparations, and then enter.
This will be a relatively long and dangerous process that will be a huge test for everyone involved.
But one hundred and twenty people, including Zhao Yucheng, had no intention of shrinking from this.
They believe that this action is great and meaningful. Once successful, it will open up a new possibility for the actions of the Renaissance.
In this regard, Su Yonglin sent his sincere blessings to them and placed deep hopes on them.
