The revolutionaries of the older generation fought with blood to create a happy life for the people, and they were of high quality and scrupulously fulfilled their duties. In contrast, there are Shoucheng officials who are born in comfort and pervert the law for their own selfish interests.
People like to listen to stories of corrupt officials being punished, and they feel very relieved, and there was also an incident that happened to Wang Zhen, the commander of the Ministry of Railways.
He went to the local government to work, and the county magistrate thought that he was an ordinary person who indiscriminately ordered him to be arrested, so how was the matter finally resolved?
Founding General Wang Zhen
Wang Zhen was born in 1908 in Hunan Province to poor peasant parents. At the age of 16, he left his hometown to join the army in Changsha and later became a railway worker.
During this period, he personally experienced and witnessed the miserable life of the oppressed workers and peasants, and actively participated in the workers' movement after coming into contact with Marxism.
In 1927, Wang Zhen joined the Communist Party and gradually became an excellent general after continuous training in leading troops. In the fourth anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaign, he led his soldiers to sneak into enemy positions and achieved fruitful results, capturing more than 1,000 people.
The song "Nanniwan" is sung by people, and it is Wang Zhen who leads the soldiers to open up Nanniwan. In the years of beacon fire, the generals must be able to fight and fight the enemy on the battlefield, organize economic activities outside the battlefield, and transform the "barren mountains" into "Jiangnan".
During the Liberation War, Wang Zhen was ordered by the central government to lead his troops to fight south as a commander, and he clashed with the enemy more than 300 times and completed arduous tasks.
In 1947, Wang Zhen was appointed commander of the second column of the Northwest Field Corps, and cooperated with other legions to fight the Kuomintang in the northwest, and won several successful battles in succession, thus determining the final victory of the northwest battlefield.
Wang Zhen's merits are far more than this, he is not afraid of sacrifice, not afraid of strong enemies, superb command ability, in 1955 was awarded the rank of general.
He was ordered to build the Eagle Xiamen Railway
Because Wang Zhen worked as a railway worker when he was young, he was more familiar with railway work. Subsequently, he was appointed commander of the Railway Corps and deputy chief of the general staff, and during the two years of his duties, he led troops to build the two railways of Lizhan and Yingxia. Among them, the Eagle Summer Railway task is urgent, which is related to the southeast coastal defense.
Chiang Kai-shek retreated to Taiwan and never gave up the counterattack on the mainland. After the defeat in the Korean battlefield, the United States turned its attention to China's coast and sent aircraft carriers to the Taiwan Strait, posing a real threat. Fujian Province, which is close to Taiwan, was in a state of readiness for war for a while, and the situation suddenly became tense.
In ancient times, when fighting wars, grain and grass came first. The same is true of modern times, where to win a war, strategic reserves and infrastructure must first be secured. The central government decided to build a railway from Yingtan to Xiamen to transport supplies, and Wang Zhen was obligated to lead an army of 100,000 to Fujian.
The international situation is changing rapidly, and Wang Zhen needs to complete the task as soon as possible. He not only planned and commanded, but also personally went to the front line to inspect and guide, and was busy day and night.
The construction area is long, and it has gone through many deserted and remote places, and it is too late to build a perfect camp. The warriors stayed in improvised tents.
Fujian's climate is humid, and it is difficult for soldiers in the north to adapt. There are all kinds of mosquito bites in the wild, the tents are hot and breathless, the sanitation is not guaranteed, and many soldiers are sick and fall down one by one.
Wang Zhen saw it in his eyes and remembered it, on the one hand, he was anxious about the progress of the project, and on the other hand, he was worried about the health of the soldiers. In order to prevent the spread of the disease at all, it is necessary to replace the cantonment.
Solving the camp of so many warriors is not an easy task, just the occupation of land requires a huge area, it is impossible to relocate at will without the consent of the local government, let alone arbitrarily expropriate the land of the people, Wang Zhen asked his subordinates to choose the site as soon as possible and then contact the local government.
You didn't shoot me, count me king Zhen's life
Wang Zhen's style was low-key and did not take his assistant to the county government alone. As soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw the man with the briefcase dressed in oily and slippery clothes walking out, so he politely asked him if he knew if the county magistrate was there.
This person saw that Wang Zhen's face was dark, and his clothes were still covered with dust, and he thought that he did not know where the poor people came to look for trouble, and it was better to delay the time, so he said arbitrarily: "The county magistrate is not there." ”
Wang Zhen had to go to the doorman to inquire, and the doorman heard that he wanted to find the county magistrate and said, "The person who just talked to you is the county magistrate." Wang Zhen was taken aback, the man did not know whether the county magistrate was not there, it seemed that the other party was deliberately deceiving, and may not be an official who obeys the law.
He asked the doorman what the county magistrate's usual style was. The doorman shook his head and told Wang Zhen that this county magistrate was for his own family, did not care about the official affairs of the office, and thought about getting benefits all day long, arranging relatives and friends to good positions, and this time rushing out was probably eating and drinking at a banquet.
Wang Zhenyi had a number in mind, but the purpose of his coming this time was first to solve the problem of the camp, and when the county magistrate returned to the government, Wang Zhen stepped forward to stop him and said, "You are the county magistrate, I have something important to deal with with you." ”
The county magistrate felt impatient when he saw the person just now, and he didn't want to look at him and continued to walk forward. Wang Zhen was both anxious and a little angry, and pulled him aside and said, "I have important and serious matters that you need to handle, so why don't you, as a county magistrate, do you do things?" ”
A few minutes later, a dozen or so handcuffed police officers arrived and twisted Wang Zhen into the police car according to the instructions of the county magistrate. Wang Zhen's subordinates who heard about this arrived, and when they saw this situation, they suddenly lost their color and hurriedly stopped: "This is Commander Wang Zhen of the Ministry of Railways, what are you doing?" ”
When the county magistrate heard this, he was sweating profusely, and did not think that he had actually run into Wang Zhen, so he quickly let the police release him and carefully apologized. Wang Zhen was even more angry when he saw his two faces before and after him, and reprimanded: "You didn't shoot me, count me Wang Zhen's life." ”
Back at the camp, Wang Zhen wrote a letter and sent it to the Fujian provincial government to explain the incident to the governor. The province immediately sent someone to investigate, and the result was that the county magistrate was corrupt and had perverted the law, and dismissed him in accordance with the regulations.
Wang Zhen continued to lead troops to build the railway, which was completed 10 months ahead of schedule, and the Yingxia Railway was 700 kilometers long, which played a non-negligible role in the arch defense of southeast coastal defense and subsequent civil transportation. Subsequently, he served as minister of agricultural reclamation, member of the Central Committee, and vice chairman.
In 1993, Wang Zhen died of illness at the age of 85. Wang Zhen, a revolutionary and leader of the older generation, their original intention is to struggle for the people's happy life, contribute to the development and progress of the country, have high moral character, and are willing to dedicate.
Some people have impure purposes, they serve as officials only for selfish interests, and they also have a fluke mentality toward the punishment of the law, and officials are corrupt and pit the people, hoping that people will remain vigilant and live up to the peaceful environment created by revolutionaries.
