After the founding of New China , many revolutionary generals who fought on the revolutionary battlefield were awarded glorious military ranks, and General Chen Geng was also awarded the rank of general, and he and other generals had different personalities.
Although they are all born in the rain of bullets, General Chen Geng has a distinct personality, humorous and witty . He has many strange stories, For example, he once blocked Premier Zhou at the door of the toilet and asked him to sign, and for example, he was once stopped by a mere little policeman in Harbin. These little things happened when he was preparing to build a military engineering school in Harbin.
Chen Geng
New China, which completed the Anti-Japanese War, experienced the War of Liberation. At that time, the new regime was always eyeing other anti-China forces. They all want to kill the regime of New China in their infancy, especially the anti-China forces led by the United States and Western countries are trying their best to curb China's development. Therefore, it is very important to build a modern and regular army.
After research and decision, the central government appointed Chen Geng as the main person in charge, asking him to seize the time to establish a comprehensive military engineering and technical college with sea, land and air. Just as he was busy with this matter, a small matter made him speed up the pace of running a school.
In the summer of 1958, the guard and General Chen Geng drove a special car on the streets of Harbin. A small policeman actually stopped his car arrogantly. What's going on with ? Why did the traffic police stop a famous military officer's car?

1952, the war on the battlefield of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea was not extinguished, and General Chen Geng was transferred from the front line to Beijing. There, General Zhu, Premier Zhou and Chairman Mao were all waiting for General Chen Geng’s return in Zhongnanhai .
Hearing this news, Chen Geng accelerated his pace toward the office. He didn't know what dangerous tasks the Party Central Committee would arrange for him, but he could even call him back from the front line without stopping. Chen Geng didn't dare to think too much, and followed suit to Chairman Mao's office of Zhongnanhai.
It was hot at the time, and Chen Geng trotted into the office building. Before the sweat on his face was wiped away, he heard a task that seemed impossible to complete.
"You have experience, well, how about you running this military technical school?" Premier Zhou said to Chen Geng with a smile.
Premier Zhou
Compared to other people's relaxation, Chen Geng was a little embarrassed. He honestly told the old leaders: "I am from the army and can only go to the battlefield to fight, and I can't run any schools at all. Besides, what should I do when I am in the current situation? How to choose a site for the school and how to dig up the teacher? These are all some problems, I have never done it."
Premier Zhou saw that General Chen Geng was going to give up, so he began to comfort him: "It will definitely be difficult to handle when you start, so the Soviet experts helped us work together. If you have any needs in the future, come here to find me as much as possible, and I will sign you."
"But I …” Chen Geng was about to refuse, but Chairman Mao spoke from the side. He said seriously: "You are from Whampoa Military Academy . You know some formal methods of fighting. It is a very good thing to lead young people to learn modern technology and modern military. Besides, your consultant in Vietnam is also good, and you have made great contributions to the Korean battlefield against the United States. You are the best."
Chairman Mao
General Chen Geng's most convinced life was Chairman Mao. Seeing that Chairman Mao was so affirmed, he no longer refused. He then saluted several old leaders with a military salute and turned around and left. Although it was just an appointment to build a school, the subsequent matters were still very complicated, and General Chen Geng would still bother him.
Although he made immortal contributions on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War and shined in the War of Liberation, after all, he was like a mountain. He was a soldier who retreated from the army. It was inevitable that he would be confused when he suddenly wanted to take the lead in the education cause.
But the soldiers' order is to obey their duties, not to mention that Chen Geng just came down from the front line of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, and he saw with his own eyes how the People's Volunteer Army of our country was controlled by the US military's aircraft and cannons. Because there is no air-saving , the early volunteer army has only been beaten.
Chen Geng
Therefore, Chairman Mao was very right. Building a modern army has reached an urgent point. He was ordered to follow in the face of danger.
When Chen Geng was determined to do this, he convened a meeting of cadres, how to choose a site in , how to transfer a teacher, how to buy equipment, how to purchase textbooks, and where to choose a venue, all of these need to be completed step by step. At this time, Premier Zhou gave him two famous domestic experts and Soviet military advisers very considerately. With the help of these people, Chen Geng chose the address of the school to Harbin .
Although Harbin is far away in the northern part of our country, it is close to the Soviet Union, and it is convenient for several experts to go back and forth, and it is the old industrial center base in Northeast China. Some military artillery equipment is also very convenient to build, not to mention that the distance from Beijing to Harbin is not far, so the place in Harbin is very suitable.

But it is worth noting that Harbin belongs to The three northeastern provinces . As early as when Kwantung Army entered the three northeastern provinces, Harbin was taken over by the Japanese. The construction, infrastructure and cultural style there all have the atmosphere of the old era. So General Chen Geng secretly made up his mind that before the school starts construction, he must first correct the corruption and bureaucratic atmosphere of the three eastern provinces to avoid obstacles in the construction of the school.
But this matter has to be put aside first. He must take his guards and cadres to inspect Harbin before school starts to make a decision with confidence.
When he and his subordinates landed in Harbin on a plane, Chen Geng felt that this city was different from Beijing where he often lived. Beijing is the political and cultural center of the country, and its social appearance and atmosphere have been almost transformed. However, this place in Harbin was once under the jurisdiction of Zhang Zuolin , and later it was trampled by Japanese soldiers. Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Harbin was neglected because it was located in the north.
Zhang Zuolin
After thinking for a while, Chen Geng ordered his guard to drive to Harbin Mayor Lu Qien 's home, wanting to discuss with him about building a school. Unexpectedly, an unexpected incident happened on the road, which caused Chen Geng's next three attempts to take office.
was stopped on the street
On that day, the guard drove a special car to the office of the mayor of Harbin Municipal Government, Lu Qien. Unexpectedly, he walked well along the way. suddenly the guard was stopped by a traffic police on the side of the road. At first, Chen Geng thought his car violated some traffic rules, but the guard gave him an inexplicable look. Now both of them were a little confused. Why was the car driven well but stopped by someone?
Chen Geng
"Principal, do we want to park the car?" guards quickly asked General Chen Geng for his opinion. Chen Geng looked at the traffic policeman with a stinky face in front of him, then at the citizens around him, and nodded.
When the car stopped, the traffic policeman who blocked the road walked straight to the front of the car window and knocked on the window glass impatiently. The guard had just rolled the window glass down and before he could speak, the traffic policeman said arrogantly: "You have a car, take me to the Public Security Bureau immediately."
Hearing this, the guard and General Chen Geng realized that the traffic police had asked for help, but it was not appropriate to ask for help. May I ask the guards a little suspiciously: "Comrade, are you doing something? Let's hurry to do business."
Chen Geng
Before he could finish collecting it, the traffic police actually knocked on the window glass again and said: "Hurry and take me to the Public Security Bureau." The guards were a little angry when they heard the traffic police's words. He stopped the car without reason in the street, but he was so righteous. Although he didn't know that this was the car of General Chen Geng, even ordinary civilians, it was very wrong for him to do so.
Just as the guard was about to argue with him, General Chen Geng waved his hand and said seriously: "Let him come up." At this time, the guard asked the traffic police to come up and sit in the passenger seat.
General Chen Geng did not speak on the way to the so-called "Public Security Bureau" from beginning to end. It was not until he was about to arrive in front of the municipal government that the traffic police realized that something was wrong, because this was not the way to the Public Security Bureau.
Chen Geng
So the traffic policeman was a little scared. As soon as he got on the bus, he could see that the person sitting behind seemed to be an ordinary person. Now he was driving straight towards the municipal government. Could it be that a high-ranking official? Both the guard and General Chen Geng remained silent, ignored his suspicion, and drove forward on their own. Later, when the car stopped steadily in front of the city government, Chen Geng took the lead in speaking: "Call Mayor Lu Qien to come down."
Hearing this, the traffic police sitting in the passenger seat seemed to have been stabbed by a needle. The person behind him could actually be used to move the mayor. He must be a high-ranking official. Didn't he hit the gun when he was blocking the car on the street? In a moment, Harbin Mayor Lu Qien got off the upper floor and hurried to Chen Geng's car.

Before he could speak, General Chen Geng glanced at him obscurely and told him : "The soldiers sitting in my car are under your command. Now I have brought people here for you. Your own soldiers must be well taken by yourself. Don't do anything that goes against your conscience or discipline. I have other things now, so I will put people here for you first."
General Chen Geng said these words and said it was not loud or small, and the traffic police could understand it. It turned out that he had really met a big leader. Mayor Lu Qien was very annoyed when he saw the trembling traffic policeman, and pulled him over, then scolded him angrily. Before he could finish cursing, the guard drove away with Chen Gengyang, leaving behind the angry mayor and the frightened traffic policeman.
Lu Qien
After General Chen Geng left, Lu Qien silently made a decision, that is, must conduct investigations and crackdowns on in the whole city of Harbin. This atmosphere is really undesirable. If it were to run a school here, you should be humble to attract talents and teachers. If this atmosphere was the case, wouldn’t it be a loss of people’s hearts?
Strict crackdown and strict punishment, live up to the people,
It is a coincidence that Mayor Lu Qien had just taken office for a few days, and he also wanted to rectify the social atmosphere in Harbin, the service style of party members and cadres, and various disciplines. Unexpectedly, before these three fires started, he directly arrested General Chen Geng. Although the traffic policeman has a very small position, he actually dared to stop cars in the street for personal gain, and even reached into the special car of the founding general.

So, Lu Qien also felt the seriousness of the matter. Before Chen Geng could give him an order, he made up his mind to rectify the party style and discipline of various bureaucracies in Harbin. Chen Geng, who was still running for the school, also heard of Lu Qien's thunderous methods. heard that Lu Qien took this traffic police as a typical example. Not only did he take his official position, but he also gave him a heavy punishment and even expelled him from the party.
In addition, General Chen Geng also heard that Harbin began to rectify the work discipline of public officials in the city, expelled and dealt with a large number of social scum who abused their power, abused their power, and disrespected the law, and even eliminated the gangs that had to be dealt with in the future since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Lu Qien
General Chen Geng is very satisfied. After all, the source of the good and bad atmosphere of a city lies in whether public officials abide by discipline and whether they can maintain a good appearance. Later, during his administration, Lu Qien did not let go of this, but continued to help Harbin and the country eliminate a group of borers. and even the local economic level were greatly improved due to his governance.
With the help of Lu Qien, Chen Gengjian's school has made great progress. He not only dug up many qualified professors from schools in various regions of the country, but even many Soviet experts were invited to Harbin by him. Things went smoothly at the start of Harbin Military Engineering, and a large number of capable students and young students were recruited.
This task lasted for one year and three months, and a comprehensive military academy rose to the ground in Harbin. Even on the day of school and when the building was built, General Chen Geng came to the scene to watch the development of various matters.
However, the teachers he had called before were still not present. After all, at the beginning of the founding of New China, various institutions were short of talents, and no unit was willing to let go. , so General Chen Geng ran to Beijing overnight and invited Premier Zhou to sign on the personnel dispatch list to help him complete it.
And his personal style is too fierce. As soon as Premier Zhou came out of the toilet, he stood at the door of the toilet and blocked Premier Zhou and refused to let him go. He had to sign the personnel dispatch list before he could let Premier Zhou leave with peace of mind.

Harbin Engineering school was successfully opened, and the atmosphere in Harbin has also been completely changed. Public officials no longer dare to abuse their powers as before, ignore the laws and regulations, and do things that violate the fine customs of society.
General Chen Geng is an iron-blooded soldier who came out of the battlefield. His dealing with these mischief is a piece of cake. Under his joint governance and Lu Qien, Harbin's appearance has been completely renewed, and the Harbin Engineering School is also thriving. As the leading general of the country and the people, Chen Geng has been fighting for the rejuvenation of the nation and the prosperity of the country all his life.
It is precisely with the efforts of their revolutionary ancestors that the new China can be established and a new society can be established.
