In June 1939, at the age of 30, Chiang Ching-kuo began to serve as the Inspector and Security Commander of the Fourth Administrative Region of Jiangxi Province. His "team" training never follows the rules, and his methods of training and inspecting cadres are ingenious, which is amazing.
As the director of the Preparatory Department of the Jiangxi Branch of the Three Youth Leagues, he opened the Chizhuling Youth Cadre Class in the ancestral hall on the outskirts of Ganzhou and personally served as the class teacher. The cadets were organized into the first squadron, the third squadron, and the ninth detachment of the first squadron according to the military establishment, and Chiang Ching-kuo was also assigned to the first squad of the first squadron and the first detachment to participate in the student activities.
Chiang Ching-kuo's method of training cadres was very unique, and although it was somewhat deviant, it was effective. The trainees felt both fresh and awe-inspired. The seventh cadre training session held by him is one of the most representative examples.
This is the basic action of being a person and doing things. Then they held a flag-raising ceremony and an opening ceremony.
1.After breakfast every morning, the cadets returned to their respective offices to continue their work, and returned to the battalion headquarters at 11 p.m. for dinner. In the afternoon, the flag-lowering ceremony was held at 5 o'clock, and Chiang Ching-kuo gave a lecture before dinner.
The meal in the dining hall is one dish for six people, and everyone eats in a circle. Chiang Ching-kin checked everyone's bowls one by one, and if he found any food left, he would ask everyone to finish it.
From then on, everyone was careful not to waste food when they ate. 2.In the morning exercise competition on the third day, Chiang Ching-kuo selected the best and the worst, the best was naturally proud, and the worst often found excuses to shirk responsibility.
Chiang Ching-kuo praised the best body, and then the whole team ran, and in the end, only 7 people persevered. Chiang Ching-kuo emphasized that only those who have strength can win in the competition.
3.At breakfast, Chiang Ching-kuo asked everyone to remain quiet in the dining room, because this was the basic requirement of the army. If anyone speaks, they will be asked to pause their meal.
The entire dining room immediately fell silent. Chiang Ching-kuo noticed that a cadet had spit on the ground, immediately stopped him, and announced that from now on, he would be responsible for cleaning up the phlegm in the barracks until he found a second spitting man.
4.In this way, the trainees pay more attention to keeping the barracks clean and respectful, and at the same time understand the importance of discipline and requirements.
Chiang Ching-kuo declared in front of the team: "We need to be close to nature, and the Chinese often ignore the importance of the sun, air and water." Today we are going to run shirtless and bask in the sun as a way to strengthen our physique. ”
The female students were a little embarrassed when they heard this order, and Chiang Ching-kuo immediately added: "Female students can wear a piece of underwear." Although some of the cadets were surprised by this order, they all knew that Chiang Ching-kuo advocated shirtless sports, so they all took off their shirts.
After Chiang Ching-kuo took the lead in taking it off, he said: "Come, let's beat our chests, rub each other's hands, and feel free and relaxed." Under Chiang Ching-kuo's guidance, the trainees slapped their chests and rubbed each other's hands, and they all felt very comfortable and free.
Then, Chiang Ching-kuo gave the order to run, and after running for more than 10 minutes, he suddenly said: "Now, take off your trousers and straw sandals!" The students all stood there in amazement, not knowing what Chiang Ching-kuo was going to do.
However, they all did as Chiang Ching-kuo ordered, as a way to express their trust and respect for Chiang Ching-kuo's leadership.
Chiang Ching-kuo once said: "Although farmers, peasant women, and porters climb mountains and mountains barefoot, we, like them, why can't we walk barefoot?" We say we must endure hardships and stand hard work, but we should not just talk about it, but take action. ”
He took off his trousers and straw sandals first, and everyone did the same. This caused a problem for the female students, so they had to roll up their trouser legs. Chiang Ching-kuo organized everyone to walk barefoot until the sun rose, and in the end only 40 people remained.
Then there is a competition of strength and wrestling with each other. This is a big challenge for people who usually only know how to dance and write, and they all stand still. Chiang Ching-kuo found an opponent to wrestle, and no one was able to beat him.
Those who have strength also let him score three points. In Chiang Ching-kuo's laughter, everyone wrestled with each other, but they just fell a little bit of martial arts on the stage, and passed the motions. In the end, Chiang Ching-kuo loudly declared: "Strength is the most important factor that determines everything, and the first thing we need today is strength, the second is strength, and the third is strength!" ”
During his tenure as commissioner of Ganzhou, Chiang Ching-kuo adopted these peculiar methods and trained and selected a group of cadres who were close to him, and these people became his "team" after he went to Shanghai and Taiwan.
