Chapter 284 Changes in Beiping City
In the following two years, He Yuzhu followed Li Yunlong to fight all over the peninsula.
In the fierce battles, his troops did not always have smooth sailing and sometimes suffered heavy losses.
He Yuzhu also spent more than a dozen life-saving coins in the battle.

If it weren't for the fact that he had also collected a lot of valuables from both sides of the battlefield during the war,
For example, destroyed artillery, tractors, and transport vehicles.

Fallen aircraft parts and engines.

Of course, the gold earned from repairing and selling these things also allowed He Yuzhu to save his life in the war and upgrade his abilities.

At the same time, he also fully demonstrated his ability as a soldier king in these two short years.

Shot down countless enemy planes and captured countless enemy pilots.

He won the lowest third-class merit to the highest special-class merit, and was promoted to the commander of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion for his meritorious service on the front line, and was awarded the title of first-class combat hero.
This was also the main reason why the higher-ups planned to send him to military school and then promote him to the head of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment.

But He Yuzhu was not interested in the army.

Since the armistice was signed last July, he wanted to leave the army and return to Beijing.
However, neither Li Yunlong, who had been transferred back to China long ago, nor Kong Jun, the former commander of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment who had also been demobilized, agreed to his application for demobilization.

He Yuzhu could only take a roundabout route and ask He Daqing to help him talk to the State Council.

He Daqing didn't want his son to stay in the army fighting all the time, so he would encourage his superiors every now and then.

This year, the Russians began to provide large-scale industrial assistance to Daxia, and the Military Control Commission began to fully engage in public-private partnerships.

The State Council finally remembered to transfer him back.

……

Following instructor Ye Shutang, all the comrades in the regiment who had a good relationship with He Yuzhu came to the dormitory to visit him one after another.

I went hunting in the mountains outside the base, and then had a big meal in the cafeteria.
Only then did He Yuzhu pack his luggage and board the train back home.

As soon as he came out of the Peking Railway Station with his luggage, he saw a young man in a thick woolen Zhongshan suit waiting for him at the entrance of the railway station, holding a sign with the name of He Yuzhu of Fengze Garden.

Although He Yuzhu didn't recognize the person, he still stepped forward and said,
"Hello comrade, I am He Yuzhu from Fengze Garden."

Although He Yuzhu did not know the comrade, he had seen his photo before he came, so he recognized him at a glance.

Then he smiled and walked forward to shake hands.

"Hello, Comrade Xiao He. I am Li Aijun, the secretary of the State Council. I am here to take you to the State Council on the orders of the leader. The leader wants to talk to you."

Although He Yuzhu did not know this comrade named Li Aijun,
But he didn't think anyone would dare to pretend to be such a person in Beiping.
He was just quite surprised when he heard Li Aijun say that the senior leader of the State Council wanted to talk to him.

When Li Aijun saw his expression, he smiled and said,

"Comrade Xiao He, you don't think that the State Council called you back as a first-class combat hero just to make you a chef!"

“What else can I do if I’m not a chef?”

Seeing He Yuzhu's puzzled question, Li Aijun smiled and turned to walk out, motioning him to follow.

"You are going to be promoted to the head of the regiment soon, so you are qualified. The leader transferred you back this time to let you take over Comrade Mou Chaoming's position.

Served as the public manager of Fengze Garden.

At the same time, you are appointed as the deputy captain and artillery instructor of our Beiping militia, responsible for the training of the militia. Whether you are responsible for hosting a state banquet to entertain international friends or responsible for the training of our Beiping militia, the burden on your shoulders is quite heavy.
That’s why the leader wants to talk to you.”

After hearing what happened, He Yuzhu didn't ask any more questions and got into the car with Li Aijun and headed to Xinhuamen.

After leaving the train station, we got on a bus and drove all the way towards Tiananmen Square.

He Yuzhu looked at the street scenes on both sides of the road that were both familiar and unfamiliar, and started chatting with Li Aijun in a low voice.

"Brother Li, I haven't been back for a few years, and our Beiping city has changed a lot.
The road has been widened a lot.
Ordinary people on the street also began to wear Zhongshan suits and Lenin suits. I also saw some comrades wearing military uniforms.

Unlike before, when the streets were filled with people wearing western suits, cheongsams, long gowns and jackets, most people wearing Zhongshan suits and Lenin suits were cadres from the State Council and the Military Control Commission.

"Haha, Comrade Xiao He, our Beiping City has indeed changed a lot in the past few years.

I remember your information said that you went to the front in March 1951,

Just a few days after you left,

In order to prevent the biological warfare launched by the joint forces, the State Council called on the people of Daxia to actively clean up.

It was also at that time that we cleaned up the city of Peking thoroughly.
Not only did they clear all the rivers in the city, they also cleared up the blockage in Longxugou.

Compared to when you left, Longxugou has changed a lot now.
You won't recognize it.

By November 1951,
The State Council further issued an order on "Proclamation on Reforming the Sewerage System".

The local military control committees were required to expand the scale of public toilets and sewer systems based on the existing public toilet systems that had been established in the late Qing Dynasty.

The feces tyrants headed by Yu Deshun, Liu Chunjiang, and Jin Renfu were arrested and executed, and the feces industry association was disbanded.

This industry will be completely placed under the unified management of the urban health department.

According to statistics from our Government Affairs Council,

整个1951年，全国清除垃圾1500多万吨、疏通渠道28万公里、新建改建厕所490万个、改建水井130万眼；

More than 4400 million rats were killed and more than 200 million kilograms of mosquitoes, flies and fleas were eliminated.

Then in 52 and 53, we continued to mobilize the people to carry out sanitation activities, which completely crushed the bacteriological warfare of the United Nations forces. "

Urban sanitation and the like are over, and He Yuzhu can't participate anyway.

But when he heard Li Aijun say that the State Council had arrested and executed Yu Deshun, He Yuzhu asked with a smile when Lin Wenhua and the other spies were executed.

"Comrade Li Aijun, please stop calling me Comrade Xiao He or Comrade Xiao He.
You can just call me Zhuzi.
By the way, since the State Council executed Yu Deshun, when were the spies including Lin Wenhua executed?"

When Li Aijun heard He Yuzhu ask him to call him Zhuzi,
He readily agreed and also talked about the secret agents including Lin Wenhua.

"Zhu Zi, I remember that you captured Lin Wenhua and Bai Wenguang when you were working at the Shichahai Branch!
This is also your last mission in the public security system.
No wonder you care so much.

Not long after you left, in May,
The Peking Military Control Commission conducted a public trial of Lin Wenhua, Bai Wenguang, Zhang Dequan, Fudecheng, Sun Yongzhen, and Sun Hongliang at the Temple of Heaven’s Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.”
