After the celebration dinner for the successful conclusion of the First People's Congress, Ming Dynasty ushered in a new era and era.
The era of the democratic republic has arrived, and the era of empire has passed. Everyone must make new preparations for the arrival of the new era.
For the public representatives, what they need to prepare is to prepare to leave Zhongdu and return to their hometowns, where they can use their new identities to serve the Republic.
For the Central Committee representatives, all they need to prepare is to prepare for an unexpected banquet with Su Yonglin.
In addition to the banquet held for the successful conclusion of the People's Congress, Su Yonglin also prepared a separate banquet for them. Only they attended and no one else attended. This made some central representatives feel different.
Some people felt that this banquet was cause for alarm, but most people still maintained an optimistic attitude, thinking that Su Yonglin organized this banquet to explain to them as one of his own.
Perhaps Su Yonglin himself had some thoughts about the people's congress becoming the highest authority. Anyway, this congress is only held once every five years. After the congress is over, won't it remain the same?
Can those idiots still be able to govern the country?
Except for a few people who had an ominous premonition, most people went to the banquet with some thoughts. They felt that Su Yonglin really recognized them more as smart and capable representatives of the central government, rather than those idiots.
However, when they arrived at the banquet venue on time, they found that there was no food in the banquet venue, only a dozen large round tables with tea on them.
Except for Su Yonglin, there was no one else in the banquet hall, not even the other eight people in the decision-making group. Su Yonglin was the only one, and the situation seemed quite strange.
Su Yonglin sat alone at the top of the big round table in the middle. When he saw them all arriving, he smiled.
"Are you all here? Sit down, sit wherever you want, don't worry about anything, Hai Sheng, A Jue, Yue Jing, Jing Gui, Yu Cheng, and you, Xu Tong, come on, come on, come to me. "
Su Yonglin waved to a few of them, in case some people who sensed something was wrong did not dare to sit next to him.
The person whose name was called by Su Yonglin could only walk over and sit next to him. Others tried to choose a place as far away as possible. Except for Zhao Yucheng who took the initiative to get close, few people dared to get close.
After sitting down, they looked at the tea sets arranged according to their heads on the table, feeling a little puzzled.
Didn't you agree to have a banquet?
A tea-only banquet?
Seeing everyone sitting down, Su Yonglin stood up with a smile and began to speak.
What he said actually surprised everyone.
Not anything related to the People's Congress, but the difficult and difficult entrepreneurial path they took along the way.
Among the 331 central representatives, more than 80% are from Su Yonglin's old Jiangnan and Shandong departments. Basically, they were either taught by Su Yonglin, or they were educated in cadre training courses during revolutionary actions, and most of them also attended Su Yonglin's training courses. class.
It can be said that their growth has been deeply imprinted on Su Yonglin, which cannot be separated or erased, and it is completely impossible to deny it.
So when Su Yonglin talked about these past events, they all listened very seriously.
Including Su Yonglin's teachings to them when he was in Dinghai County, teaching them how to read, read, and practice martial arts. He also gave them expedited training after crossing the sea to Shandong, and fought with them in a bloody battle with the Jin Army on the battlefield.
Then the conversation changed and Su Yonglin changed the topic to another direction.
"Actually, I have wondered a long time ago why the founding emperors in ancient times were so lucky. A large number of famous generals and resourceful counselors around them happened to be from the same hometown. A group of fellow countrymen were directly recruited to form the founding team. .
YY
The most typical ones are Liu Bang and Cao Cao, right? The people around them and even their own family members are so good at fighting, as if they can be used directly on the battlefield. I once felt that they were all the chosen ones, and I chose them. , it's their turn, they deserve to become something big.
But later I realized that it was not Liu Bang and Cao Cao who were lucky, but the group of founding heroes who followed them to conquer the world, because they followed the right people, survived the early wars, and continued to accumulate experience. , so he had the last laugh. "
Su Yonglin walked behind Su Haisheng, put his hands on Su Haisheng's shoulders, and looked at the people around him with a smile.
"Most of you were illiterate when you followed me. At that time, could you imagine that you would one day become a high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty? Can you imagine today? No way? Your biggest thought at that time was to eat I'm full of food. I've finished eating today, but I still have food to eat tomorrow.
At that time, I remember that many of you were unwilling to study. I was the one who forced you to study and study hard. I gave you both rewards and punishments. If you don’t study, you won’t be given food. If you don’t know enough words, you won’t be given food. Eat, forcing you to make progress. Now think about it, should you thank me for my determination at that time? Um? Haisheng? "
Su Yonglin looked at Su Haisheng with a smile.
Su Haisheng was one of the typical academic-weary people at that time. He was found out by Su Yonglin and made a model. He was forced to read and read by threatening to deprive him of food, and he was forced to become a corps commander.
Thinking about the past, Su Haisheng's slightly nervous mood was relieved, he felt relaxed, and he smiled sheepishly.
"That's natural. Without the chairman forcing me to study, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today. At that time, I still remember that I was particularly unwilling to study. In the end, I was punished by you and refused to eat. I was afraid and had no choice, so I went to death. Learned."
Su Haisheng's slightly funny statement made many people laugh. When everyone started laughing, the atmosphere of the whole place immediately changed.
"Yes, yes, I remember clearly. At that time, Haisheng tried every means to avoid studying. I asked them to read and write five words every day. This guy had a fever today, a cold tomorrow, diarrhea the day after, and lay in bed all day. Can't get up from bed.
I went to see him, and he looked really weak. He couldn't even stand up. Later, I remembered that this guy was afraid of dogs, so I took a big yellow dog to see him. As a result, this guy jumped very high. He ran out rolling and crawling, but he still looked half sick? "
People laughed loudly and laughed at how funny it was that Su Haisheng, a general who could fight, had such an embarrassing past.
Su Haisheng scratched his head in embarrassment and laughed, feeling completely relaxed.
If the guarantee is not complete, Su Yonglin called them to reminisce about the past.
Because Su Yonglin is the one who laughs most cheerfully.
"I still remember what this guy Hai Sheng said that made me the most angry. I tried my best to persuade him to study, but he told me that I am a water thief and a salt dealer. Studying? Why should I study? Studying is nonsense! At that time, He made me so angry that his mouth was so angry!"
