Ye ShuaiNian met with Xiao Ke and comforted him for being wronged.
While waiting for the organization to assign work, General Xiao Ke firmly stated that he was a member of the Communist Party and would never be negative. An old comrade-in-arms ** proposed to let him build a reservoir, and Xiao Ke readily accepted.
Soon after, Xiao Ke received a notice to make him the deputy minister of agriculture and reclamation, and he was very excited about it. He believed that he would be able to adapt himself to this work, because the agricultural reclamation front is an important part of national economic construction, and at the same time, it was also built with demobilized officers and soldiers of the People's Liberation Army as the backbone, and it has a natural connection with the troops.
Faced with a new job, General Xiao Ke chose to do it himself, went to the grassroots level, and went to various reclamation areas to work on the spot. Although he was born in the countryside, years of revolutionary war gave him a new understanding of agricultural production.
He knew that in order to adapt to his new job, he would need to learn from scratch. Therefore, he focused on learning agricultural knowledge, such as soil, meteorology, cultivation, etc., as well as the knowledge and technology of major modern agricultural production tools.
His study is like learning to stand up and take a break during the Northern Expedition, step by step, solid and deep. In his spare time, General Shaw also reads books on agriculture, including breeding, farming, and cultivation.
After more than half a year of study, he began to get on the right track of work and was able to deal with problems independently. After working for a period of time in the Ministry of Reclamation, he found that many of the state farms in the agricultural reclamation system were disorganized in major decisions, resulting in chaotic work.
Therefore, he conducted in-depth research and formulated a set of effective decision-making rules to make the work more orderly and efficient.
During his tenure at the state farm, General Shaw paid great attention to modernization and regularization, and actively promoted the formulation and revision of rules and regulations to improve the previously chaotic situation.
His outstanding performance was seen by the leaders of the Communist Party of China, and after the 11th Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, he was appointed by the two vice premiers of the Communist Party of China to complete the urgent task in the reclamation area of Heilongjiang.
After arriving in Harbin, General Xiao Ke cooperated with Yang Yichen, secretary of the provincial party committee, to organize and coordinate the forces of all parties and successfully completed this important task. However, with the change of the political situation, General Xiao Ke was also affected, and in 1969 he was notified to go to the "Wuqi Cadre School" in Jiangxi for re-education.
Picture丨Li Da and General Xiao Ke faced the order, General Xiao Ke was conflicted in his heart, Jiangxi was the most important place in his revolutionary career, and it was also a place far away from ** and relatives.
Despite this, he still decided to obey the organizational arrangement and go to the "57 Cadre School" in Jiangxi. General Xiao Ke did not have much luggage, except for daily necessities, the rest were books, and he hoped to use this opportunity to make up for the lack of time to systematically study theories for decades.
During his years in Jiangxi, General Xiao Ke always maintained his original intention, and after participating in the work, he would read Marxist-Leninist monographs to deepen his understanding of Marxism-Leninism. After the 913 incident, he was anxious and looking forward to the next development.
However, on January 16, 1972, General Xiao Ke received an organizational notice: the caucus of the Party of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry decided to resume his organizational life!
After learning the news, Xiao Ke and ** were excited. More than 20 days later, General Xiao Ke was notified by the organization to return to Beijing. Upon his return to Beijing, General Xiao Ke was placed in a lodging where his old comrades-in-arms soon came to visit him.
After listening to General Xiao Ke's experience, everyone said with deep feelings: "Finally got through it!" In 1972, after Xiao Ke returned to Beijing, he was personally received by Marshal **.
Looking at General Xiao Ke, ** held his hand tightly and said, "Comrade Xiao Ke, you have suffered a lot over the years!" After hearing this, General Xiao Ke replied: "It's okay Ye Shuai, those are over." ”
After chatting with Xiao Ke for a while, Ye Shuai asked, "Comrade Xiao Ke, do you have any requirements for work?" Shaw replied: "I obey the arrangements of the organization, and if possible, I hope to be engaged in work related to the troops." ”
Ye Shuai nodded after hearing this and said, "We discussed it before, and decided to let you go to work at the Military and Political University, do you have any opinions?" Xiao Ke said: "No opinion, I obey the arrangement!" ”
After General Xiao Ke returned from Ye Shuai, he received a notice from *** asking him to attend a rectification meeting. During the meeting, ** had a conversation with Xiao Ke and Su Zhenhua.
Although the specific content of the conversation is unknown, General Xiao Ke has a feeling in his heart that *** has not forgotten him as a veteran. However, later, due to something wrong, he entrusted Wang Dongxing to come and convey: "* I can't come because of something, he asked me to convey his greetings to you, saying that you have resumed your work and will continue to work hard in the future." ”
These two sentences greatly encouraged General Shaw. After reporting to the Military and Political University, Xiao Ke met another veteran revolutionary Comrade Tang Liang there. Although the two are not familiar with each other, in their work, General Xiao Ke believes that Comrade Tang Liang is steady, meticulous, and very thoughtful in dealing with problems, and is a rare hard-working cadre.
In the course of cooperation, the two men had similar philosophies on the management of the school, and they both hoped to correct the direction of running the school and restore the good traditions of the Nanjing Military Academy: resuming modernization and regularized training, encouraging everyone to study the enthusiasm of military science of foreign armies, and establishing the principle of building a modern and regularized revolutionary army.
In order to revive and strengthen military training, General Shaw sought advice from *** and listened to his advice. Under the guidance of Liu Shuai, General Xiao Ke and Tang Liang discussed and decided to comprehensively rectify the school's teaching work, especially the resumption of military teaching.
After a period of preparation, in September 1973, the first class of teachers and cadres officially opened for enrollment. This is the first time since 1966 that the highest academic institution in the whole army has offered a military course.
** During the period when the marshal presided over the work of the Military Commission, the work during this period was centered on military training, and a good situation appeared that had not been seen for many years. General Xiao Ke's first year at the Military and Political University coincided with this period, so his work was carried out very smoothly, and the confusion in the establishment of the academy and curriculum was also adjusted.
Although General Xiao Ke and Comrade Tang Liang faced all kinds of difficulties in the years that followed, they always firmly believed in and supported the correct leadership headed by leading comrades such as the first leading comrades, always adhered to the implementation of the correct policy, constantly cultivated a large number of outstanding military talents, and made their own efforts for the prosperity and development of the troops.
