Chapter 2 Chapter two

 one Compared with Han Qiuyun and Chen Mohan, Liang Daya and Zhu Yidao's journey is much easier. They don't have much knowledge in their stomachs, and they don't have so many twists and turns.While on the road, Liang Daya told Zhu Yidao a story——  "Once upon a time, there was an old man in Lanqiaobu, who was a painter. He didn't paint anything else, he only painted longevity peaches. The longevity peaches he painted were as big as wash basins. People with a radius of tens of miles came to buy his birthday peach paintings. But the old man was strange, only one painting a day, not enough to sell, so he had to order in advance. The old man's daughter-in-law was not happy, and asked the old man, why only one painting a day, more paintings are not more sales Money? The old man said: You know what? I only draw one piece a day, and what I sell is an ocean. Besides, not everyone can buy it. The more you can’t buy it, the rarer it is. Well. If you paint ten or eight paintings a day, if there are too many, no one cares about it. I’m afraid one painting can’t sell for ten copper tins. The daughter-in-law didn’t take it seriously. My idea is to learn the father-in-law's unique skills. One day, the old man closed the door to paint again, and the daughter-in-law just lay on the crack of the door and looked in. It was a great sight, guess what she saw?"

It was already the third watch, and it was hazy in the wilderness, and the silhouettes of distant mountains were faintly visible.Zhu Yidao looked at Liang Daya's back in the half-light of the moon, and said weakly, "I can't guess what she saw." "Hey," Liang Daya grinned, "The old man's daughter-in-law has opened her eyes this time. She saw her father-in-law taking off his trousers and squatting next to the basin to soak his butt."  "Hey, what kind of trick is that?" Zhu Yidao regained his energy and asked naively.  Liang Daya laughed again, "The footbath is not filled with footwashing water, but mixed ink. The old man soaked his buttocks, and he didn't stand up, so he just moved to the same place. There was a straw mat on the ground. , there is a piece of rice paper spread out on the mat. The old man stabilized his posture, sat down on the paper, stood up again, and a picture of longevity peach was drawn."

 "Huh——xi! This painting is too evil." Zhu Yidao twitched his nose, as if smelling something wrong, Yuanyuan's face was full of doubts, and asked again: "This time, old man Is it time for your daughter-in-law to learn it?"  Liang Daya grinned again, and said, "I have learned the art, but when it's her turn to paint, it's not like that." "What's going on?" Zhu Yidao reckoned that the wonderful story was yet to come, so he smacked his lips and waited for the next one.  However, Liang Daya's story came to an abrupt end without further details. 

A group of dark figures appeared at the intersection ahead, moving towards this side at an extremely fast speed.  Liang Daya saw it clearly, pulled Zhu Yidao away, and got into the bushes by the roadside.  Sure enough, it was a team, and the action seemed to be hasty and messy. Some people carried it on their shoulders, while others carried it on their backs. It seemed that they had brought a lot of things.A group of about fifty or sixty people came hurriedly from east to west.Only when they got closer did they hear panting, and sometimes someone shouted: "Quick, follow up!" Liang Daya and Zhu Yidao held their breath and did not dare to move.Although they already know that this is a Chinese team, there are so many Chinese teams that it is not easy to tell whether it is good or bad.If you don't know the difference, you dare not act rashly. 

"Brother Big Ya, it looks like the national army." Zhu Yidao said in Liang Daya's ear.  "Oh," Liang Datooth bent his back, stared at the road with treachery, nodded and said, "Like." Suddenly he said, "Damn it, that person looks like Qin Yifei." As he said that, his eyes widened , the cheeks suddenly tightened.  Zhu Yidao asked in surprise, "Who is Qin Yifei?" Liang Daya didn't say a word, he still looked ahead, his protruding tooth was biting on his lower teeth, making a rattling noise.Qin Yifei is the cousin of the bandit Yao Hulu. He studied in Luo'an Prefecture before, and later worked as Yao Hulu's housekeeper in Yaojiaweizi. He is Yao Hulu's important confidant.

"Keep your eyes open for me to see if there is anyone missing ears." Liang Daya said to Zhu Yidao viciously, and then took out a sharp knife from his trouser waist.  Yao Hulu was the brother of Liang Daya's father, Liang Shanpao, and the two partnered in the timber business. Yao Hulu was greedy for money, and Liang Shanpao cut off two ears.Later Yao Hulu became a bandit and even sent someone to kill Liang Shanpao and his wife.Ever since the Japanese invaded Luo'an Prefecture, Yao Hulu ran out of Aotu Mountain. He heard that he had gone to be the Commander of Bird Hair Gray somewhere, but he didn't expect to run into him here today.

Meeting each other on a narrow road, Liang Daya was extremely jealous, thinking in his heart, once he targets Yao Hulu, he will kill the old thief first, and then take revenge for killing his father and mother.With his kung fu, the moon is dark and the wind is high, so he doesn't have to worry about running away.  I don't know if it was luck or fate, but Liang Daya didn't find Yao Hulu in that team.That team also didn't find him and Zhu Yidao.The team of fifty or sixty people moved swiftly and silently, as if fleeing for their lives, flying into the sky to escape the earth, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. 

Getting out of the bushes, Zhu Yidao patted his buttocks and asked, "What should I do?"  "What should I do?" Liang Daya asked back, still ignorant.  "Shall we go on?"  Liang Daya thought for a while and said, "Of course we have to move forward."  Liang Daya thought about it, although he didn't see Yao Hulu, but he saw the person in the team who looked like Qin Yifei, this team probably belonged to Yao Hulu.After thinking about it again, this team is in a hurry like a bereaved dog, and it is likely to be chased by someone, maybe Liu Hanying's team is behind.A few years ago, Commander Liu's team fought both the Communist Party and Yao Gourd, and fought several battles to disarm Yao Gourd.If the team following behind is Liu Hanying's team, that's really good. Firstly, he has a way to join the army, and secondly, he can lead the team to catch Yao Hulu, which is a good deal for both public and private But that's all.

But Zhu Yidao didn't think so. Zhu Yidao said: "It's us Chinese who are passing by now, maybe it's the Japanese who kicked them out. Going forward, maybe we will run into ghosts."  Liang Daya slapped his waist knife: "I'm afraid of an egg. If it's a Japanese devil, we'll run away. If we can't escape, we'll fight. If we can't fight, forget it. Isn't it to fight against the Japanese? Beheading is no more than a bowl-sized scar, and when the calf is stretched, the dick falls down. You If you are afraid of devils, you can go back and chase Yao Gourd. But let’s talk first, and if I run into you later, you may become Zhu Gourd.”

Zhu Yidao took a deep breath, he knew that Liang Daya was always fearless, and of course he also knew that Liang Daya always meant what he said.Zhu Yidao didn't dare to continue making irresponsible remarks, so he could only follow Liang Daya's ass and continue walking resentfully.About two or three miles away, he still didn't see anyone chasing him, so he felt more at ease in his messy heart.  After walking for a while, Liang Daya said with arrogance: "Zhu Yidao, you should straighten your waist and don't act like a ghost. After walking five miles, you will arrive at Liaocheng. When you see Commander Liu, we must first A pot of braised pork." 

After being frightened all the way, Zhu Yidao was not as optimistic as Liang Daya, and said with a dejected face: "The devils have already hit Lanqiaobu, can Commander Liu and the others still stay in Liaocheng? Maybe they have already run away."  Liang Daya thought for a while and said, "Even if they run away, it's easy to find out where they are when we get to Liaocheng."  Zhu Yidao still lacked confidence, and said: "I have found Commander Liu, and we can decide whether he wants it or not."  Liang Daya was a little annoyed, he looked down on sissies who only spoke discouraging words the most, and hated people rolling his eyelids the most.Liang Daya poked his neck and said, "Why doesn't he want it? We two strong men go to fight against Japan, and it's not for nothing. He's too late to be happy, so there's no reason why he doesn't want it. Besides, there's nothing to eat right now, and no place to sleep. This mountain is so cold that it's freezing, the guys have shrunk a lot, if you don't go to Liaocheng, where can you go?"  Zhu Yidao sighed pitifully, and said, "Brother Da Ya, I understand the truth, I just follow you. Come on, anyway, I will go wherever you go. We are on the same rope. Two grasshoppers tied up can't run away from me, and they can't run away from you either."  Liang Daya chuckled and said, "That's right."  Going forward, I was so hungry that my legs were weak.At this juncture, Zhu Yidao regretted it.When he escaped from Lanqiaoport, he really shouldn't have listened to Chen Mohan's instigation and ran to Aotu Mountain to find some egg team.If I had known that I would suffer this death penalty, I might as well run to the east of the river with the folks.  Liang Daya said: "Do you still want to hear the story?"  Zhu Yidao said: "Can it be eaten as a meal?"  Liang Daya smiled and said: "It can't keep you full, but it can quench your thirst." So he cleared his throat, opened his mouth to speak, but stopped, and after thinking about it, he asked: "Where did you talk about?"  Zhu Yidao frowned and thought about it, and said, "It seems to be about the daughter-in-law who saw her father-in-law draw birthday peaches with his butt."  "Oh, that's right." Liang Daya smacked his lips, and then talked with relish——  "At this moment, the daughter-in-law is happy, thinking that she has got the secret from the family and learned the trick of painting longevity peaches. When she returns to the room, she pours ink and water into the footbath, and then takes off her pants just like her father-in-law. Soak the butt. After soaking for half an hour, I also moved to the mat and sat a butt print on the rice paper. Hehe, don’t say it, it’s really similar. The next day, the daughter-in-law happily sold it on the street. After noon, no one bought it. Some people came to see her paintings. After reading them, they smiled and left. The daughter-in-law wondered that they were all the same stuff. No one wants it? Compared with my father-in-law, my buttocks are tender, white and thick, and the printed longevity peaches are rich and round, so why can’t they be sold? So I stopped people to ask. At first people refused to talk about it. That’s right, I’ve been told, Miss, it’s good that you paint birthday peaches well, but there are two problems. One is that it is too fat, and the flesh is so oily and greasy; two, there is something missing. You see In your father-in-law's painting, there is still a handle among the birthday peaches, but there is no handle among your birthday peaches."  Zhu Yidao didn't understand, and asked in a daze, "Why is there no handle on my daughter-in-law's painting?"  Liang Daya looked back at Zhu Yidao, and said, "You are such an idiot. Think about it, my daughter-in-law is a woman, and there is something missing in her crotch. If you sit down, can you get out of that handle?"  Zhu Only then did Yidao suddenly realize that he thought for a while, then scratched his head and asked, "Who is that old gentleman and his daughter-in-law? Why haven't I heard of such a family in Lanqiaobu?" Liang Daya shrugged his nose, smiled strangely, and said, "It's Chen Mohan's father and Chen Mohan's mother."  Zhu Yidao thought it was true at first, gritted his teeth and thought about it, but still felt something was wrong, and said, "It's not like. Chen Mohan's father is a juror, not a painter. Chen Mohan's mother is the daughter of the county magistrate's family, so it's not right. Painter. Your story... I'm afraid it's fake." Liang Daya snorted, and said with a hey smile: "Chen Mohan of the dog day doesn't go the same way with me, I made up a lie and used his father and his mother."  Two It wasn't until the sky turned bright and the east had already turned white that Liang Daya and Zhu Yidao entered the Yulin village outside the east gate of Liaocheng.Before they could find the team, the team found them first—just after they entered the village, they were followed by two peasant-looking men, with two sticks of fire pointed at their buttocks, and they were sent to a small farmyard .The men who escorted them called this the detachment headquarters.  Later, a man with the appearance of an official came, wearing a battered octagonal hat on his head. Liang Daya had seen it before. , of medium height, with a cowhide bag slung across his right shoulder and a box cannon slung over his left shoulder.  Liang Daya could recognize dozens of characters, squinted his eyes to see the small badge on the official's arm, and immediately took a breath of air: Damn that - bastard!Encountered eight roads.  The man with the appearance of the Eighth Route official was very easy-going. Although he didn't mean to be affectionate, there was no hostility on his face.Officer Balu pulled a stool beside the Dafang dining table and sat down, took out an old newspaper, rolled a cigarette, and asked, "What do you guys do?"  Liang Daya was a man who had seen the world, so he was not timid at this time, he stared blankly at the eight-way official, and asked, "What do you do?"  The Chief of the Eighth Route Army raised his head, looked at Liang Daya very attentively, and said, "We are the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Detachment of the Eighth Route Army's Aotu Mountain."  Liang Daya nodded, and then introduced himself carelessly: "I am Liang Daya, the shopkeeper at the front door of Ruitai Rice Store in Lanqiaobu, and he is Zhu Yidao, the son of Zhu Dacai, a bamboo strip craftsman in Lanqiaobu."  "Oh——" the Eighth Route Officer hissed, stood up, and said, "Why does it look familiar to me? It turned out to be Mr. Liang Daya Liang..." After speaking, he walked towards Liang Daya.  Liang Daya was a little surprised, but also a little proud. He felt that he was so famous that even the commander of the Eighth Route Army knew about it.Feeling complacent and a bit confused—he really couldn't remember when and where he had met the eight-way official in front of him, so he asked stupidly: "Who are you?"  "Mr. Liang doesn't remember. I was hunted down in Lanqiaobu the year before last. After I was hanged, I got into the Ruitai rice shop. It was you, Mr. Liang Daya Liang, who hid me under the case and saved my life."  Only then did Liang Daya remember that there was such a thing.At that time, he thought that person was a thief fleeing for his life, but he didn't expect that he was an officer of the Eighth Route Army. "Mr. Liang Daya sympathizes with the revolution and has a sense of justice, which we should not forget." The Eighth Route official said again.  Liang Daya wanted to laugh, and thought to himself, what does it mean to sympathize with the revolution and have a sense of justice? We, Liang Daya, are such people. We will help anyone who is soft, and we will kick him if he is abused.The one who was chased that day was you and we helped you, and if the one who was chased was someone else, we will help you as well.What's more, this eight-way official called Mr. Liang one by one, which made Liang Daya somewhat embarrassed.Thinking about it for yourself, what kind of gentleman are we, a guy who buys rice and sells grain?From childhood to adulthood, we only had one name, which was Liang Daya.Thinking about it again, let Mr. Liang be Mr. Liang, anyway, it will be more useful than calling Liang Daya.  The eight-way official was already smiling all over his face at this moment, and asked Liang Daya and Zhu Yidao to serve a bowl of Luo'an melon tea, and then asked, "Where are you two going?"  Liang Daya tilted his neck, gulped down a drink, and after drinking, rolled up his sleeves, wiped his mouth and said, "Sir, can you get us something to eat? We haven't touched water all day and night."  Eight Roads The officer slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot about this incident." He turned his head and waved to a man with a box cannon.The man tucked the box and shot out the door. After a while, he brought in two large pots of thick porcelain and two bowls of blue flowers, a pot of radish stew, and a pot of rice.There was another person who followed the man, fair-skinned, neither tall nor short, with a thin body, also wearing an octagonal hat, with a bandage on his arm, with fresh blood oozing.  The eight-way official said hello to Bai Jingmianpier, and said, "Director Zhang, why are you out? Don't catch a cold."  The fair-skinned man called "Director Zhang" said: "This minor injury is nothing, it's okay." Then, he looked at Liang Daya and Zhu Yidao, and asked, "New here?" The eight-way official said: "These two are my old acquaintances. This Mr. Liang also saved my life. He is a hero."  Director Zhang said "Oh", nodded to Liang Daya and Zhu Yidao, then sat on the bench, looking at Liang Daya and Zhu Yidao with great interest.  Liang Daya and Zhu Yidao couldn't care less about the others, they didn't even want to say a word, they rushed forward, each filled a big bowl, and stuffed them into their stomachs.Taking advantage of the meal time, Liang Daya thought about it.He remembered that the Eighth Route official was killed in Lanqiaobu by Liu Hanying's team from the national army. Seeing that he and Liu Hanying were enemies, he must not tell him that he was going to join Liu Hanying.  After eating and drinking enough, Liang Daya said to the officials of the Eight Routes: "Lanqiao Port was occupied by Japanese devils, everyone ran away, and the two of us also ran against each other."  The chief of the Eight Route Army smiled and said, "Everyone from Lanqiaobu runs to the east of the river. I see that the two of you have come to Liaocheng day and night, so you must be looking for Liu Hanying to join the army?"  Liang Daya was taken aback, he thought it was wrong to admit it, and it was wrong not to admit it.Thinking to himself, this eight-way official is amazing, he has sharp eyes, and he is not easy to be fooled.You can't tell nonsense in front of a real person, if you do, you will be exposed.  Seeing that Liang Daya remained silent, the Chief of the Eighth Route said again: "Liaocheng was also taken down by the Japanese. In the middle of the night last night we cooperated with Commander Liu's troops and fought for a while, but they were unable to stop them. Commander Liu and the others withdrew. We I was ordered to stay on the guerrillas for a few days." Then he asked: "Liu Hanying's troops also went west, divided into several groups, and you didn't meet any of them?"  Liang Daya replied that he hadn't met him, but he regretted it in his heart—damn it, he clearly met him last night, but he thought it was Yao Hulu's team, and the team he was looking for was shoulder to shoulder, but he was mistaken .After thinking about it, I was puzzled again—isn't the eight-way official and Liu Hanying enemies?According to his tone, they joined forces to fight last night.  As if he had seen through Liang Daya's mind, the Eighth Route officer smiled and said, "I'm afraid Mr. Liang doesn't know that although Liu Hanying had conflicts with us, it was our own business. Now the Japanese invaders are coming in." We have formed a national united front against Japan, whether it is the army of the Kuomintang or the army of the Communist Party, we have become brothers, working together to fight the Japanese. You see, Director Zhang was the one who won the lottery in Liaocheng last night. I It seems that the two of you are also homeless, and Mr. Liang is a strong man who understands righteousness. If you are willing to join the Eighth Route Army, we welcome you very much.”  Liang Daya is now used to the address "Mr. Liang", and finds it very useful. He thinks that the Eighth Route officials treat people very politely, which makes people feel very comfortable, so he asked, "How many guns do you have?"  Chief Balu's eyelids twitched, he exchanged a glance with the man named Director Zhang, and said, "Our whole detachment only has more than 300 guns. However, we plan to get 1,000 guns in the second half of the year."  Liang Daya asked again: "How many people do you have?" The Chief of the Eight Routes hadn't spoken yet. Director Zhang, who had been silently observing them, spoke leisurely, and said calmly: "Why, Mr. Liang looks down on you? Let's be honest, we don't have many people at the moment, but the whole of China is fighting against Japan. Our compatriots are all ours. Mr. Liang counted with his fingers? Forty-five million."  Zhu Yidao, who hadn't said a word all this time, suddenly stepped in and asked in a daze, "Is there any military salary?"  The official of the Eighth Route Army said: "The military salary of our guerrilla detachment is paid by the Japanese. How much we can pay depends on how well the war is fought. Naturally, you can't make a fortune when you are an Eighth Route Army, but you can do it as an Eighth Route Army." work is much more important than getting rich."  Liang Daya gave Zhu Yidao a dissatisfied look, and asked, "Zhu Yidao, tell me, should we take this Eighth Way?"  Zhu Yidao thought for a while with a sad face before saying, "Brother Big Ya, I'll listen to you."  While Zhu Yidao was talking, the door was dark for a moment.  Liang Daya raised his head, glanced at the door, and saw two young women coming in, one of them was wearing a gray cloth uniform, which looked the same as the uniform worn by the Eighth Route officials, but the hat was not a battered octagonal hat, it looked like The national army's hat is a bit like that, with the blue sky and white sun cap emblem on it, and a wide cowhide belt tied around the waist, which is very energetic.  At this moment, Liang Daya made a novel discovery—the same gray coarse uniform, worn on the young woman, looked much better than those worn by the Eighth Route Officer and Director Zhang.Not to mention the yellow face of this Eighth Route officer, he is also a little too thin.Director Zhang looked like a scholar, wearing a gray uniform of coarse cloth, fat and bloated, and even more baggy.But the girl Balu was different. She was well dressed in uniform, with a small belt tied around her waist. She was slender and slender, and her little face was rosy, which made people feel at ease.  After such a comparison, a temporary idea appeared in Liang Daya's mind, so he turned his face away, and said to the official of the Eighth Route, "That's fine, let's try this Eighth Route in front of you."  The eight-way official said: "That's great, we welcome it."  Liang Daya said: "But let's talk about it first. We have nothing to say when the Eighth Route Army beats the devil. We don't care about killing him as a bastard. But I heard that your Red Army Eighth Route Army can control people to death, but we I'm used to being comfortable, and it's not uncommon for people to put a magic spell on our head, if it makes us uncomfortable, we'll run away as soon as our calf is touched. Do you think it's okay?"  Obviously, the Eighth Route officials were not mentally prepared for this question.Chief Eighth Route frowned, and turned to look at Director Zhang, but Director Zhang had no expression on his face, as if he didn't care.The Eighth Route official said: "Fighting the devils and resisting the Japanese is the most important thing, and we will talk about other things later."  Liang Daya asked again: "Is there a man named Yang Tinghui here?"  The eight-way official said with a faint smile, "I am Yang Tinghui." Liang Daya was taken aback, took a step back, looked at Yang Tinghui from top to bottom seriously and comprehensively, and muttered in his mouth: "My God, you are Commander Yang? People say that Commander Yang has With three heads and six arms, you are an invulnerable person who walks on walls, stomps your feet, and half of the concave and convex mountains shake. Do you really have such great abilities? From my point of view, you look like a teacher, you are not so magical, right?"  Except for Director Zhang who kept a straight face, everyone in the room laughed.The two new young girls, Balu, covered their mouths with laughter.Yang Tinghui's face was also flushed, and he came over and patted Liang Daya on the shoulder, and said, "Those are all rumors to scare the Japanese devils. The more they spread, the more mysterious they become. Don't say they are invulnerable, everyone, I will even shoot you!" However, someone like you who has learned martial arts can show his talents in our team." One sentence scratched Liang Daya's itching spot, Liang Daya glanced around triumphantly, saw two young girls, Ba Lu, smiling at him especially brightly, his heart suddenly became hot, and he blurted out a sentence: "Then Alright, let’s take the damn eighth road." After finishing speaking, he stood up, unexpectedly took off the octagonal hat on Yang Tinghui's head, put it on his own head, put it on once, it didn't fit, took it off again He took off the military cap on the head of the young girl Ba Lu, and felt that it was suitable, so he put Yang Tinghui's military cap on Zhu Yidao's head, and said carelessly: "However, let's try it in front of you first. Let’s take it to the end, and let’s talk if it’s inappropriate.” three Regarding Dangbalu, Liang Daya's initial thought was to try it in front of him, and for the sake of the young girl Balu, but he became addicted after trying it.In the first battle after participating in the Eight Route Army, most of the other new Eight Route Routers were trembling with fright, but Liang Daya followed those old Eight Route Routers and charged upwards with a big knife.He didn't think there was much difference between killing Japanese devils and beating local rogues and bastards. Killing people didn't have much knowledge.  More than ten days later, another hundred refugees who ran against the guerrilla came one after another. Yang Tinghui picked more than twenty villagers from Aotu Mountain and handed them over to Liang Daya, making him the team leader.  Nature is like a duck to water.  But Liang Daya is not careless. After working in the Eighth Route for a while, he noticed something strange. Not all the people in the Eighth Route were as polite and respectful to Commander Yang as Commander Yang was. Zhang Pujing, the director Zhang who had lost the lottery, was always kind to him. He didn't call him Mr. Liang like Commander Yang did, and he didn't call him Comrade Liang Daya like Commander Yang did. Zhang Pujing called him Liang. Da Ya once scolded him with a straight face.  That time, it was because Liang Daya ordered a brother in the team to give him new shoes.When that brother quit, Liang Daya started swearing and swearing, saying it's the other way around, your captain is wearing old shoes, do you deserve new ones?The two of them quarreled, and Liang Daya almost made a move.  This incident happened to be seen by Director Zhang, and he trained Liang Daya, saying that Liang Daya, you are already a small captain of the Eighth Route Army, and you should not act like a warlord and bully the soldiers.  Liang Daya had long disliked Director Zhang, and always thought that this bastard treated him badly, so he said angrily, "I'm the team leader, and I'm an official. If I wear old shoes, he will You can’t wear new shoes. I will bully soldiers, and you bite my eggs.” Zhang Pujing's face turned pale at that moment, pointing at Liang Daya's trembling hands, he said, "Wh...how can you be so unreasonable, Liang Daya, you don't look like an Eighth Route Army, you are simply a bandit!"  Liang Daya's heart is indeed a place, Zhang Pujing really doesn't appreciate him.Not only did he not appreciate Liang Daya, Zhang Pujing, many people in the guerrilla detachment did not appreciate him, and Liang Daya naturally did not know the details of the reason. Now let’s talk about the history of the Aotu Mountain base.  Yang Tinghui was originally the political commissar of a regiment of the Jiangxi Red Army. Four years ago, during the Red Army's great migration, he was sent to open up base areas between the Jianghuai River and the Huai River. There was a Communist Party in the city, and apart from Yang Tinghui and the three cadres he brought, including Jiang Jiahu, the only person who could talk to them was Wang Lantian, a teacher engaged in underground work in Luo'an Prefecture.  The team was pulled together by Yang Tinghui. It was originally called the Aotu Mountain Guerrilla Detachment of the Red Army and was led by a certain front army.  The Jianghuai Military Region was formed by some troops left behind when the Red Army of Hubei, Henan, and Anhui moved to Sichuan and Shaanxi. In the past, it had a different command system from the Aotushan base. , Jiang Gubei, Li Wenbin, Zhu Jiang and others went to Aotu Mountain. This arrangement somewhat meant a reorganization. Yang Tinghui naturally understood in his heart, so he made a special trip to the Jianghuai Military Region and the sub-bureau to report his thoughts, saying that he had spent the past few years focusing on establishing Armed, far away from the organization, some can't keep up with the situation in learning.Facing new tasks now, I am afraid that it is difficult to adapt. I asked to study at the Northern Shaanxi Anti-Japanese University, handed over the team to Comrades Dou Yuquan and Zhang Pujing, and handed over the work of the special committee to Comrades Jiang Gubei and Li Wenbin.  Yang Tinghui expressed such an attitude, the Jianghuai military region and the sub-bureau felt a little guilty, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.  Just at this time, the Battle of Dongtiaoshan ended. In this battle, the brigade commander and political commissar Li Zhijian, who cooperated with the Wu Peimei Department of the Kuomintang Army, led the main force to station in Jianghuai. He was Yang Tinghui's old superior during the Red Army period. Li Zhijian was very cautious when dealing with the issue of Aotu Mountain. Very good, it is on the rise. Under such circumstances, there is no need for major adjustments in the organization there. The new comrades are educated and can be used, but Comrade Yang Tinghui still needs to carry the lead. He has prestige and can convince the public , to facilitate work.”  As a result, Zhang Pujing's political commissar was not appointed, but only the director of the political department of the detachment.Yang Tinghui still serves as the commander of the detachment, the political commissar, and the secretary of the Aotu Mountain Special Committee.Wang Lantian, the liaison officer of the former Aotushan base area and the Soviet area, and the head of underground work in Luo'an Prefecture, returned to the detachment to serve as the deputy political commissar. In fact, he performed the duties of a political commissar. At that time, the political commissar had the final decision-making power.Over the years, Yang Tinghui has been in the open and Wang Lantian has been in the dark. The two can be said to be old partners. Yang Tinghui is more at ease in letting Wang Lantian exercise the power of political commissar as a deputy political commissar. Four In all fairness, Zhang Pujing has no complaints about not being able to become a political commissar step by step. This is in a war environment. If the official enjoys blessings, he will not come to participate in the revolution.His civilian life experience gave him reason to believe that he was the proletariat, and his yearning for revolution gave him reason to think that he would become an advanced member of the proletarian revolution.He was able to study and go to middle school thanks to the Wuhan Railway Workers' Labor Federation. His father was the leader of the workers' strike and died at the gunpoint of the enemy. Zhang Pujing was raised by Wuhan railway workers with his hard-earned money. big.Revolution was the flame that was beating in his blood in his youth. Since he was born for revolution, he must die for revolution.He joined the Red Army full of revolutionary enthusiasm and devoted himself to the revolution, and was sent to Aotu Mountain by the Jianghuai Military Region and the Jianghuai Branch as a pure Bolshevik. However, shortly after coming here, he discovered that the situation here was not as he had imagined, and there was something wrong with the revolutionary method here.The troops were not as pure as he imagined. A few days ago, he cooperated with Liu Hanying's team to retreat. He led a squadron to guard Huangmenji. Before the battle was over, the soldiers went to the business to carry things. .Obviously, there are serious problems with the discipline of this army.  From the day he met Liang Daya, Zhang Pujing never regarded him as a comrade.In Zhang Pujing's mind, a person like Liang Daya, even if he joins the Eighth Route, is still an opportunist.Does Liang Daya know what faith is?Does he have revolutionary ideals?The wind and the horse are irrelevant.When I first met Liang Daya in Yulinzhai, Zhang Pujing was left with a very bad impression of this man's hideous performance. He was simply a rascal. Let such a person come to revolution, what would the revolution become?  After Liang Daya's "shoe-changing incident" happened, Zhang Pujing criticized Yang Tinghui very politely, saying: "That Liang Daya is really outrageous, he is a wild man, he has no sense of discipline, no class consciousness, such a person fights against devils." Dare to go all out, dare to go all out with your own people, he is a character who can't be touched by a tiger's butt, our team can't have such a black sheep."  Yang Tinghui didn't take it seriously, and said, "He just joined the team. There is a process for a person's progress."  Zhang Pujing said: "If there is a problem, we will accommodate, so what strength does our organization have? Let me tell you the truth, Lao Yang, I found that our team discipline is very lax. Liang Daya is a typical example. If these people don't reform well, Harmful to the revolution."  Yang Tinghui said: "The main task now is not to reform Liang Daya and others, but to resist the Japanese. The work of cultivating people is a long-term work. Don't worry, Lao Zhang. You still have to give full play to their strengths and take your time."  Although there are currently only four people in the Political Department, Zhang Pujing, as the director, still insists on giving political lessons to the cadres, preaching the "Communist Manifesto", and letting the cadres understand the nature, program and goals of the revolution. Only by liberating all human beings can we finally liberate ourselves. We must allow them to establish the lofty ideals of communism, and we must put an end to behaviors such as forcing soldiers to change their shoes.  Yang Tinghui did not disapprove of Zhang Pujing's work, but Yang Tinghui said: "Old Zhang, don't forget that the Kuomintang called us Tubalu, and we are Tubalu. The Communist Manifesto must be talked about, for a long time, and forever, but some Small principles must be explained, and it will work. How to establish communist beliefs? These people are all farmers. You tell him that after communism, he will have a field to farm, and he will not need to rent other people's fields, and he will understand. The Japanese came to China, plundered our wealth, murdered our brothers, and spoiled our sisters. These are more practical things. Cultivating faith is a long-term work, but stirring up hatred will soon pay off. Common interests can make us Our troops are united, and common hatred can also make our troops united. Unity is fighting power."  Zhang Pujing carefully analyzed Yang Tinghui's words. Although the words were flawless, they actually told him to talk less about theory, more about practicality, less about doctrine and belief, and more about interests.Zhang Pujing was very dissatisfied with Yang Tinghui's point of view, saying: "Then, what is the consciousness cultivated in this way? Mixing personal interests with beliefs, and even substituting low-level personal needs for the pursuit of lofty ideals, this is Pragmatism, even opportunism."  Yang Tinghui said: "The revolution in Aotu Mountain is still in its infancy, and we should target the target. If you tell Liang Daya and others about this belief and that doctrine, he won't understand it, and if he doesn't understand it, he won't buy it from you. You want everyone to sleep overnight. It is impossible to become a revolutionist with thoughts, ideals and beliefs in a short time. The road to revolution is long, and revolutionary ideas can only be instilled bit by bit. If you don’t understand this truth, you will take a detour.” 杨庭辉有这样的态度，张普景就有些灰心。是啊，跟梁大牙之流去谈什么理想信仰之类的东西，那不是对驴弹琴吗？看来只能这样了，凹凸山的革命也只好按这些土包子能够接受或者能够施展的方式进行了。
