The dressing was almost a whole day before it ended, and on that night, the political cadres started working. Political cadres at all levels gathered soldiers together to talk with the soldiers in the name of their first meeting. The battalion and regiment headquarters were also recruited by instructors and regiment political commissars. On the one hand, they carried out their first work, and on the other hand, they held them back and did not interfere with the political cadres in the company. Political work mainly started with grassroots soldiers, and the first work was very important. You must win the favor of the soldiers so that you can start your work in the future.

Based on the past six years and the experience of political work in the old days, the political work of the People's Army has now formed a very effective procedure. The first is to describe the suffering. The company instructor asked the soldiers one by one by one in a family manner, such as "Where are they from?" "What did the family do in the past?" The younger ones asked, "Are your parents still there? Are there any brothers and sisters?", and the older ones asked, "Have you been married? Do you have children?"

After getting the answer, you can further ask, "How was your family doing in the past?" "Is there any land?" "Is it hard to work for the landlords?" and "Is the landlord good to you?" and so on. Although Zhang Zuolin's brothers came from the three religions and the five elements and eight gates, ordinary soldiers were basically composed of ordinary people. This is also the common point that the army was formed in ancient China. It was a common point after Qi Jiguang's Qi family army. It was that generals could have various origins, even gangsters. As long as they dared to fight and kill, they were not afraid of death, but ordinary soldiers must be ordinary people, and the more honest they were the better, because honest people were the most obedient, and they would never do whatever they said, and they would never do it. This is what ordinary soldiers wanted. The army that the Qing court began to form since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, from the Hunan Army, the Huai Army to the current Beiyang New Army, basically followed this idea.

Zhang Zuolin was also a man from the army and of course he knew the truth. Therefore, when recruiting soldiers, his brothers served as officers at all levels, while ordinary soldiers were still recruited from ordinary people.

The living conditions of ordinary people are similar. Although the Northeast region is vast and sparsely populated, land conflicts are relatively not very fierce, due to the harsh climate in the Northeast, the cost of living is much higher, and the lives of ordinary people are not better. When Zhang Zuolin was young, his family was quite poor and it was difficult to maintain a living for a time.

In addition, the imperial court, landlords and powerful oppression of civilians was the same as other places, and the invasion of bandits and Russia, so the lives of civilians were quite difficult. In terms of talk, every family was basically the same. They had children who died and relatives who starved to death. Otherwise, they would not come to join the army. Bi Jing was a life-long job. Even when Zhang Zuolin was working in the insurance team, the main battles were bandits, which were also quite dangerous. However, when he was a soldier, he had at least one bite of food and had military pay. When he met a powerful leader like Zhang Zuolin, who was generous in his actions, he would not owe the soldiers' military pay, and he could ensure that the soldiers could get the support of the soldiers and gain a foothold in this troubled era.

Now the instructor asked the soldiers to introduce their family situation, and naturally they were cups one by one. In addition, the instructor induced them and added firewood at Guanjian's moment, which quickly resonated with all the soldiers and burst into tears. The goal of the first step was achieved.

After the soldiers vented their feelings, their intimacy for the instructors also increased a lot, so the instructors began to brainwash them and told them that the People's Army of East China is different from the court. The People's Army is a poor army, and they are attacked by the court, landlords, bandits, and foreigners. They just don't beat the poor, and they also want to prevent the poor from being bullied by the court, landlords, bandits, and foreigners. The goal of the East China National University is to let the poor live a good life. Every family has land planting, a good house to live, good livestock, eat enough, wear warm clothes, no taxes, no land renting usury, and children go to school to study.

In this description, although most soldiers were still half-believing and mostly disbelief, the soldiers still showed a very similar attitude towards this life, so they all surrounded the instructor and asked this and that. In the hearts of the soldiers, their favor for the instructor naturally increased, and they began to have a certain respect. While answering the soldiers' questions, the instructor further explained that the things he just said were not illusory, but were actually there. Under the leadership of the East China **, a considerable part of the Shandong region has been realized, and some examples of Shandong land reform were listed, and it also stated that the Northeast region now has been under the jurisdiction of the East China **, and these situations will be realized, which is estimated to be only 5 or 7 years.

The soldiers immediately became excited. 5 or 7 years was not a long time. As long as the people present did not have any surprises, they could wait until that day. Although the soldiers did not fully believe it, they also felt a sense of belonging to the East China ** and also felt a considerable sense of trust in these instructors.

The situation of each company is basically the same. Some people say that after 10 pm, it can be considered late at night in this era. At this point, today's purpose and effect have basically been achieved. After all, political work is not achieved overnight. There is a process of slow guidance, and these soldiers have to be given time to digest.

The political work at the battalion and regiment level is different from the company level. The officers at the Bijing camp and regiment level basically solved the problem of food and clothing. It can be said that their life is not good, so they are not very interested in living a good life. In addition, they have some knowledge and are not so easy to be ignored. Therefore, the political work at the Battalion and regiment level mainly starts from the perspective of the **, indicating that the goal of the East China ** is to establish a strong and dignified country to the outside world, and not be discriminated against and bullied by foreigners. It is not a brag that the victory of the People's Army in the battle against the great powers is not a brag. The results of the Bijing battle are right in front of us. It turns out that Russia, Japan, which was rampant in the Northeast, was defeated by the People's Army and drove out of the Northeast. This made them unconvinced.

In addition, we need to establish a fair society, rewards and punishments, those who are capable will be demoted, those who are mediocre, and those who are self-reliant, and distribute according to work. Although Zhang Zuolin and his brothers do not understand these concepts very well, they still understand the general meaning. In addition, they also introduced the industrial and economic achievements of East China ** in Shandong, which also increased some persuasiveness. Although the brainwashing effect is not as good as those for ordinary soldiers, it demonstrated the strong strength of East China ** and the People's Army, which not only had persuasiveness to these people, but also had considerable power.

The next day, Zhang Zuolin's troops began to train to familiarize themselves with new weapons. In addition to training, the group-level soldiers of political cadres at all levels held some sports competitions, singing, and various performances. It was impossible for the competition soldiers to train all day long and always had some amateur life. Therefore, on the one hand, these activities enhanced the soldiers' collective team awareness; on the other hand, they also increased the soldiers' spare time, and further increased the soldiers' favorability and conviction for political cadres.

In addition, the content of the performance was carefully written, which reflects the darkness, ignorance, backwardness, and the glorious and upright image of the old society. It was mainly played by political cadres, and some girls from the health team or the ** department were brought to perform together. Even Gao Jin also made a guest appearance several times to express the support of the administrative department for the army. Because the effect of blindly preaching soldiers with limited political sermons, it may be very effective at the beginning, but with more times, the marginal decreasing effect will increase. Therefore, different forms need to be adopted, and performance is the most effective. Because the entertainment activities in this era are extremely poor, such performance programs are extremely popular, and they are easy to carry private goods, which has a simple influence on the soldiers.

Only then did political cadres start to establish a soldier committee in Zhang Zuolin's army, organize soldier lectures, literacy classes, and conduct regular political studies, and carry out comprehensive work.

So in just 3 or 5 days, political cadres quickly merged into Zhang Zuolin's troops and became a group with most of the soldiers. It was only then that Zhang Zuolin realized that the energy he believed in the military supervisor had far exceeded his imagination. If these people were allowed to move like this, at most 2 or 3 months, the grassroots soldiers would almost turn to the other side of the People's Army and lose the obedience of the grassroots soldiers. Even if his own group of friends did not change their minds, their control over this army would be greatly weakened. The Bijing army was mainly composed of grassroots soldiers. It has to be said that the methods of overseas Chinese are not only clever, but also incredible. In this way, the general's morale was taken away.

Zhang Zuolin hurriedly recruited brothers to discuss countermeasures, but unfortunately at this time, no one could come up with a good solution, and even Yuan Jinkai was helpless because Zhang Zuolin had no reason to reject these political cadres. Moreover, these political cadres did not say bad things about Zhang Zuolin and his group of loyal friends in their work. On the contrary, they were safeguarding the authority of military chiefs on many occasions, and now they are deeply respected by grassroots soldiers. Moreover, Zhang Zuolin could not come up with a set of theoretical behaviors to compete with the activities of these political cadres.

If it was still the time when he was in the insurance team, it would be easy to do it. Just drive it away directly. If it weren't for it, it would instigate a few soldiers to find trouble for political cadres and squeeze them away. However, these methods are useless now, and even if they can't even get money to buy it, because now the military pay of Zhang Zuolin's troops is distributed to each soldier by the People's Army Logistics Headquarters, and it is not through Zhang Zuolin's hands.
