Starting from late October, Shizhuang's People's Armed Forces Department organized militia training in batches, focusing on cultivating the backbone role of the members of the Ksomolets in the militia. Zhu Weimin personally demonstrated the movements of various subjects. Zhu Weimin, relying on his young and capable skills, would definitely be defeated by others. In less than two months, each militia had trained three times in a row, and the morale of the militia had changed. Guo Song, the secretary of the township party committee, was happy to see this. He went wherever he went and even when he had a meeting with the comrades who received the recruits, he did not forget to blow."It'll save you a lot of trouble if my new recruits join your unit. Our Chief Zhu has already helped you train them.”…

One morning in late December 1986, the military division of Hujiang City (directly under the central government) had a dispute over the security work of General Tao, 81, and General Sun Daoyong, 79, who were going to inspect the old revolutionary base area in North Prefecture of Ningjiang Province. The military division demanded strict implementation of the security guard plan, and General Tao was not happy."I'm going to visit the fellow villagers who raised us. I want to see their lives and listen to their voices. You guys are surrounded by people. Listen to what? It's better not to go!"

"We have to ensure your safety!" The commander of the military division said hurriedly. This is our mission."

"Safe?" The old man was amused." I'm just an old man. What's there to be afraid of? Are you afraid of our people?"

"Chief, your security and medical work are decided by the military and political office and the national security department.”The commander of Dongjiang Military Region, Fang Chenglong, said softly.

" F * ck," the old man cursed,""Tiger Qiu, you dare to come up to me? Go and ask him to call me and see how I'll treat him.”Everyone had no choice but to ask Qiu Zhize for help.

"Bureau Chief, Bureau Chief Qiu is asking you to answer the phone.”General Tao's entourage Wang Chao said.

"Old director, don't be angry. I'll listen to you, okay? I'll immediately order Comrade Zhu Weimin to be in charge of your security and medical work. He'll wait for you at the North Region military dock. Is that enough?"

Old Man Tao laughed.""With Zhu Aimin, Old Sun and I can travel light. He can do it alone, haha…"

At 12 noon, the Beizhou prefectural government directly called the Shizhuang township government and told Zhu Weimin that the car to pick him up had already left for more than half an hour. Stone Village was close to the suburbs of Beizhou. It was in the west of Provincial Road 221 from Beizhou to Rulan. There was a 4km long and 3.5m wide road from Stone Village to Provincial Road 221. It was a sandy road with a total length of 3km. The road condition was better on sunny days.

It took 1.5 hours to drive from Shizhuang to Wan Yuan, the seat of the Northern Prefecture Party Committee. Wang Cunrong, the 47-year-old Party Secretary, immediately let Zhu Weimin into his office. Wang Cunrong introduced the tall and thin administrative commissioner Zhang Nifeng, the medium-sized military division commander Tao Zhiping, and the black tower-like police chief Ge Jiexian. Everyone shook hands and sat down.

Wang Cunrong said seriously," Old General Tao and Sun Daoyong from the former Jiangdong Military Region, who have a deep relationship with the old district of Rulan County, will go to Shengli Village and Majiaxu Village in Shizhuang Township of Rulan County tomorrow morning for an inspection. The time is one day. In order not to affect the old man's love for the people, the higher-ups decided: First, there was no welcoming and sending. Second, there was no first-class security. Third, Comrade Zhu Weimin was responsible for the security of the two old generals. Fourth, lunch was arranged for Guan Yunhan, the old man of the Second Team of the Victory Brigade in Shizhuang Village.”

Wang Cunrong looked at Zhu Weimin doubtfully and asked,""The higher-ups have instructed us to listen to your arrangements. Please make the arrangements!”

Zhu Weimin was surprised and whispered to himself,"When will this old man let me go? Another surprise attack." He saw that everyone was looking at him strangely and said embarrassedly,"Sorry, leaders, I was distracted just now.”

Zhu Weimin thought for a moment and said," 1. Tomorrow morning, from 7 to 9 am, the North Region section of the river will be on alert. Military control will be implemented. This mission will be completed by the military division. 2. Tomorrow morning, from 8 am until Old Tao returns safely to Hujiang, the People's Hospital will send a team of heart, brain, and blood experts to wait beside the helicopter at the Air Force 3012 Training Ground with the necessary first aid equipment and medicine. This task will also be handled by the commander. 3. Tomorrow morning at 8:30 am until Old Tao's motorcade arrives at Shizhuang Village, and half an hour before Old Tao's departure until Old Tao boarded the warship in the afternoon. Please be on alert and execute traffic control. However, please note that other than the traffic police, everyone else must wear casual clothes. 4. Please arrange for the administrative office to inform Guan Ling, the director of the Women's Federation of Shizhuang Township, to be responsible for tomorrow's lunch. Be careful to only cook the special dishes and corn paste. It must be authentic, with less oil. Prepare more for everyone to eat at noon. It is best to ask the commissioner to give instructions for this work. 5. I will be responsible for the safety of the old man. The on-site maintenance of the village will be done by the local militia. I will inform the people. The city bureau will send some plainclothes to secretly support them. That's all I have. Please correct me.”

In the past, when the provincial leaders and the leaders of the state organs came down, they were all powerful guards, which was easy to handle. Now that the old man didn't like it and had never experienced this formation, no one could say anything. However, the people present were all department-level officials and had enough experience. They felt that Zhu Weimin, who was only 25 years old, was not simple because he could immediately arrange everything without any preparation.

Tao Zhiping, Ge Jiexian, Zhu Weimin, and the others personally went to the military dock to check the terrain and implement the relevant plans on the spot.

Ge Jie first called the armed police captain Lu Ping, the traffic police detachment captain and deputy captain to follow Zhu Weimin from the dock to the 211 provincial road intersection to inspect the actual situation. At this time, the Rulan County Police Bureau Chief and the traffic police captain, as well as the county people's armed forces department officer Jiang Jun, etc. had arrived. Ge Jie first briefly reported the situation to them."Zhu Weimin, the head of security this time, you guys can communicate on the way to Stone Village.”

Zhu Weimin, the deputy captain of the city traffic police detachment, the leader of the county bureau, Jiang Ping and other five people sat in the municipal military jeep and set off for Shizhuang. In the car, Zhu Weimin asked Jiang Ping to be responsible for training and arranging the Shizhuang township militia overnight. The car arrived at the township government office at around 7 p. m. The municipal government had already notified them. The various departments of the township government were waiting for Zhu Weimin and the others.

In the square of the village courtyard, Zhu Weimin said bluntly,"Guan Ling, please bring the three women back to Shengli Village in their car. Comrade Han Bing, please bring people to Majiaxu Village overnight. Li Hua was requested to assist Jiang Ping in completing the militia's training and duty. Secretary Guo, let's go to Shengli Village immediately and then rush back to the North Region. It's up to you now. The old master didn't like fake things. Sister Guan, let's go."

As soon as the two cars left the stone village street, the village horn on the road repeatedly sounded an emergency notice. The township People's Armed Forces Department issued an emergency notice: " All militia battalions, companies, and platoons in the township should immediately arrange their units and be fully armed. They should run to the township government before 9 o'clock tonight.”

The township party committee issued an urgent notice,"All members of the Shengli Party Branch are requested to gather at the Shengli Second Team immediately. All members of Ma Jiawei's Party branch, please gather at the brigade headquarters immediately.”

In the 1980s, China had just begun its economic reform. The propaganda, communication, and transportation were very backward. The small loudspeaker broadcast that every village had was a very important tool at that time, and it really played a very important role.

On the way to the Second Victory Team, Guan Ling told everyone that Guan Yunhan was her uncle, the groom and savior of General Tao. Ma Jiawei was where General Tao's troops were located at that time, and it was also where General Sun Daoyong rested and fought when he followed the Eighth Route Army south.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, when Zhu Weimin and the others returned to the stone manor from Majiaxu, the militia began to stand guard on the road. When they heard a team in front of them singing a neat slogan, two cars stopped and they stood neatly by the roadside to salute the militia team.

"Attention, turn left, salute! Reporting to the Minister and the other leaders, Jiang Yong, the commander of the militia in Majiaxu, Shizhuang Township, was ordered to carry out the mission. Please instruct me!"

"Comrades, you have worked hard. I hope you can carry forward the revolutionary tradition of the old militia and welcome Old Tao home in a clean and safe environment.”

Zhu Weimin looked at the militia that he had just trained for less than two months, and he felt a little sweet in his heart. The people in the same group were all soldiers, and they were encouraged by the bravery and formality of the Stone Village Militia.

The next morning, General Tao and General Sun sat in a military jeep with an open cloth canopy. In front of them was Wang Chao, and beside them was Zhu Weimin. They entered the township road leading to Shi Zhuang. Old Tao looked at the land that had been in battle for six to seven years. The villages on both sides of the road had not changed much. When he saw a group of armed militia sentries saluting him every 200 meters along the way, the old man said to Sun Daoyong,""This kid didn't dote on me for nothing."

When the convoy passed through the stone village street, the people on both sides applauded and welcomed them. In the middle of the street, there was a banner: "Founding a party for the public, ruling for the people! The people of Stone Manor welcome you, General!"

More than a kilometer past the stone manor, the militia sentry along the way saluted and shouted,"Victory Militia Battalion welcomes General home!”The two old men immediately raised their hands and saluted with tears in their eyes.

When the convoy arrived at the eastern end of Shengli Second Team's village, people could already see the waist drum team beating and dancing while singing. When the two old generals were helped out of the car by a few young militiamen, a row of twelve militiamen opposite them was led by an old man."Salute! Border area hero militia class monitor Guan Yunhan led the soldiers to welcome the old chief home.”

"Yun Han…" Old Man Tao couldn't help but cry."My good brother!" The two old men hugged each other tightly for a long time…

Zhu Weimin said softly,""You can't be too excited."

After the two separated, Guan Yunhan walked up to Sun Daoyong and said excitedly,"" Commander Sun, I didn't expect that we would meet again…" The four hands were tightly clasped together.

"Without the people of the old district, we cannot survive and develop. Without you, Brother Yun Han, Old Man Tao and I wouldn't have the stone manor we have today.”

In front of Guan Yunhan's house, the soldiers of Training Ground 3012 set up a field tent overnight. When everyone walked into the tent, Old Master Tao held Guan Yunhan's hand and said,"Let's go and look at your bed and food bag.”The old general touched the bed, flipped over the blanket, and uncovered the flour jar and corn barrel. He said to Wang Cunying, who was accompanying him," I'm not faking it. Zhu Weimin knows my temper…"

"Yun Han, you didn't marry another woman after that?”Old Tao asked with concern.

"The first twenty years are tight. We're poor. We can't marry even if we want to…"

" I don't think she's changed much," the old man said self-critically."We have to reflect on the people of the old district. It has been more than 30 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China…We have disappointed everyone.”

"Commander Tao, you can't say that," a white-haired old man sitting not far away said."Ever since the reform and opening up, our farmers 'lives have been getting better year by year. Looking at this trend, in another ten years, we will definitely be able to eat fish and meat for every meal. This was given by the Chinese government."

" Yeah…" Another old man continued,""In the past, we would have a meal in the morning, then we would eat noodles in the afternoon, and at night, we would eat vegetables and wheat noodles. Look at us now. We have corn porridge in the morning, white rice cooked with cabbage in the afternoon, and white noodles at night. There's rice, noodles, and oil.”

"That's right…In the past, when we drank our home-brewed wine, we only needed wine. You see, we drink Shuanggou Daqu and Beijing Erguotou now. If we don't stir-fry two dishes, we can't drink this wine.”

The villagers chatted happily. Sun Daoyong said to Wang Cunrong, Tao Zhiping, and the others,"This is the people of China. They are broad-minded…"

Zhu Weimin, who was standing at the side, said emotionally,"The more tolerant the people are, the greater the pressure on us, as a member of the Party.”

At noon, a simple yet lively feast was held in the tent. Two dishes were placed on the square tables: The two generals were eating cabbage and white rice and drinking corn paste. The 80-year-old General Tao ate the loach and said excitedly,"At that time, I would go to the ditch with Yun Han to catch loaches.”

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the convoy arrived at Ma Jiawei's brigade headquarters. There were more than twenty old people over the age of seventy sitting on the field. Two old generals came forward to shake hands with them. Old Man Tao could actually call out the names of more than half of them. Later, they went to the landlord's house to visit. When General Sun Daoyong learned that his landlord, Han Dacai, had committed suicide during the turmoil, he cried and said in front of Han Dacai's portrait," Uncle Han, we've been together for two years and 46 days. I'm sorry…"

In order to prevent the two old generals from being too excited and causing accidents, Zhu Weimin directly used the 3012 training unit field vehicle to send them away. "This is the last time," Old Man Tao said reluctantly."I beg you to help the people of the old district to get rich as soon as possible.”In the field vehicle, Old Man Tao whispered to the person in charge of Ningjiang Province and Wang Cunrong from Beizhou,"" Zhu Weimin is a good kid. He's ruthless. In 1984, when he was secretly carrying out a cross-border operation to capture a Western spy, he captured the spy alive with his bare hands. Even though he was seriously injured in five places, he was still able to steal a nest of the southern secessionists. Those guys who used to kill people were almost stunned by his reckless life. It was said that when they heard the words "pretty boy", their hearts would beat faster. This is a secret. It's fine as long as you know.”

At the dock, Old Man Tao shook Wang Cunrong's hand and said,""If it weren't for Minister Wang, Xiao Zhu would have been crippled by Old Man Sun. Today, I want to remind you not to waste this seedling.”Then he said to Zhu Weimin,"Always remember the old man who changed your name. He is one of the main founders of this red land under our feet." Neither he nor I can see your future, but we are already very pleased with our discovery at that time. Please remember your promise.”

Old Tao left…

Author's Note: He didn't know, and neither did Zhu Weimin. Two months later, the founding general peacefully left the people he had fought for his entire life at the age of 82.》

On New Year's Day in 1987, Zhu Weimin returned to his hometown by ship to visit his parents and family. On the way back, he visited the three martial uncle Xia Mingyuan and his wife who had retired for many years. Old Xia revealed in a heart-to-heart talk with Zhu Weimin that Tao and Sun had two intentions in Beizhou. One was to see the place where they had fought for the last time, and the other was to stand up for Zhu Weimin. Xia Mingyuan said," Chief Physician Tao is afraid that you will neglect your work and waste your achievements. He has always believed that you are most suitable for the judicial, disciplinary, and military. He wants to use his influence to forcefully pull you back. That's why you're in charge of their security in the North Region. He trusts you, and you've worked hard to give the people of the North Region enough face. When you go back, you must sink. You must not be impetuous. Although the township level was the lowest level, it was also a good place to accumulate experience. It was the closest to the farmers and the place where they could understand the countryside, agriculture, and farmers the most. You're still very young. Don't think of yourself as a leader. Think of yourself as a student. You've graduated from the Administrative University and entered a social university. We don't have many years left to live. We'll walk the rest of the way ourselves!”Zhu Weimin nodded vigorously.

Yes, he had to walk the rest of the road himself. He was originally the descendant of a farmer from the lowest level. No matter what path he took in the future, the initial heart of a farmer would never change.…
