Chapter 6 To be honest, Yu Zuobai called him "Deng Xiandi"

Mao Mao (currently named Xiao Rong, formerly named Deng Rong) wrote in the book "My Father Deng Xiaoping": At that time in Guangxi, people did not know that there was such a person as Deng Xiaoping.According to the instructions of the central government and many years of experience in secret work, Deng Xiaoping, who went by the alias "Deng Bin", used the identity of the Secretary of the Guangxi Provincial Government as a cover when he arrived in Guangxi, but in fact he was in charge of leading the party work in Guangxi as a representative of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.He did not appear in public, only moved within a very small range, and only contacted and contacted a very small number of people.Except for a small area within the party, he only met Yu and Li a few times, and strengthened his work with Yu and Li.At that time, the Guangxi Special Committee and some party cadres sent to Guangxi only affectionately called him "Representative Deng" or "Comrade Deng Bin".

Deng Xiaoping also recalled: "After we arrived in Nanning, I met with Yu Zuobai several times, and carried out the united front work according to the policy instructed by the central government. At the same time, we paid attention to assigning the cadres sent by the central government to Yu's office to appropriate places." The black "Ford" car passed through the streets in the downtown area, and then drove into a quiet alley with many guards and sentries.Yu Zuobai's official residence is located in a corner of the alley.When Deng Bin, accompanied by Yu Zuoyu and Chen Haoren, walked into a living room in the backyard where water, trees and pavilions intersected, Yu Zuobai and Li Mingrui, who were standing in front of the hall, focused on this long-awaited guest for a long time.The first impressions of Yu and Li when they met this CCP representative seemed to be roughly the same as that of Lei Jingtian, Yu Zuoyu and others when they met Deng Bin.

Yu Zuobinian is no longer confused, with a medium build, and looks a bit "graceful" because of his fat belly; Li Mingrui is also in his thirties, standing half a head taller than his cousin, with broad shoulders, a purple face, and wearing a military uniform. Quite a general demeanor.In contrast, the invited representative of the Communist Party was so young and small. However, since ancient times, there have been many strangers, how dare they belittle each other? "Mr. Deng, you have worked tirelessly all the way to come to a remote village. Welcome! Welcome!" "Mr. Deng, please sit in the living room, please—please—" After a while of politeness, we entered from a superficial meeting substantive conversation.

Deng Bin cut to the chase: "As soon as I came here, I found out that Chairman Yu's mansion is full of lobbyists, and it's very lively. You can see this from the slogans posted on the street!" Chen Haoren, who was sitting by the side, couldn't help being startled when he heard it, and stared at Deng Bin from the corner of his eye: Yu Zuobai is getting angry because of these things, and he suspects that the Communist Party is also taking advantage of the fire to loot!You are poking at Yu's sore spot by saying this, isn't it adding fuel to the fire? But Yu Zuoyu who was sitting on the other side didn't think so, he shook his head slightly towards Chen Haoren.He believes that what Representative Deng said is a sincere and frank expression, and it is wiser to face the reality squarely than to avoid it.

Deng Bin continued: "The reformists are a fashionable cover for Wang Jingwei and Chiang Kai-shek to fight against each other. Chairman Yu is in charge of Guangxi, and he sincerely wants to make a better life for his brothers and sisters in his hometown. How can he be compared with Wang Jingwei? Oh, I remember Liu Zihou (Liu Zongyuan character) in the Tang Dynasty moved to Liuzhou governor, abolished bad governance, exempted people from all kinds of debts, liberated slaves, established education, broke superstition, and did many good things for the people. Heart, loyalty is the battle, the article is in the book, and the merit is in the people."

"Yes, people in the world praise Liu Gong's character, talent and political achievements from the four aspects of integrity, loyalty, writing, and merit, and build Liuhou Temple to remember." Yu Zuobai's expression changed from "cloudy" to "cloudy" It’s turning fine.” I didn’t expect this young representative of the Communist Party to be so frank!He handed over a cigar to Deng Bin. "Mr. Deng, why don't I, Yu Zuobai, want to do more useful things for the elders, brothers and sisters in my hometown? But the mess left by Huang Shaohong is really difficult to clean up for a while! The finances are empty and the society is chaotic. Chiang Kai-shek not only refuses to pay wages, but also sends imperial envoys to come. to intervene"

Deng Bin said: "Chairman Yu sincerely invited us to come, and we will fulfill our responsibilities as friends and work together to overcome difficulties." Yu Zuobai suddenly asked: "I admire Mr. Deng's straightforwardness, but who in your party has the final say?" Deng Bin said: "Since the central government has appointed me to work with Chairman Yu, I will do my best." Yu Zuobai asked again: "Mr. Deng's trip, is there any far-reaching grand plan of your party, once the land of Bagui is reddened, will Yu be expelled from the foreign land?" Deng Bin said: "Chairman Yu is too worried. I only want to cooperate sincerely with Chairman Yu and help each other to build a strong Guangxi."

Yu Zuobai slapped his palms, and quickly clasped his hands together: "Happy! Happy! Yu is here to call you: Brother Deng Xian!" Deng Bin also bowed his hands in respect: "Brother Taiwan is too famous, too famous, so I call my younger brother Deng Bin." At this time, Li Mingrui stood up to stop the conversation, and said cheerfully: "Cousin, save the conversation for dinner, we are all hungry!" Yu Zuobai immediately invited: "Ah, it's really a bosom friend in the mountains and rivers! Brother Deng Xian, please, let's talk while we eat." The luncheon with the flavor of the southern country was quite sumptuous: Braised civet cat - fried tuna - two dragons playing with pearls - Danfeng Chaoyang - barbecue suckling pig - crispy duck pieces - dragon and tiger fighting - boiled chicken The wine glass has been filled with Sanhua wine, a famous wine in Guangxi.

The host and guest were seated, and Yu Zuobai raised his glass to invite: "Deng Xiandi, welcome to Guangxi, let's have a toast together!" Deng Bin raised his glass: "Okay, cheers for our sincere cooperation!" Everyone drank it down.As soon as he put down the wine glass, Yu Zuobai picked up the ivory chopsticks and pointed at a porcelain plate inlaid with gold, saying: "Deng Xiandi, I heard that you have been to France in the early years, so you must have eaten many famous Western dishes. This dish is called red braised fruit. Civet is a local dish in Guangxi, please taste how it tastes." "Ah, civet, this is the best game!" Deng Bin held up his chopsticks and took a bite, "It tastes so good, it can be called a must in Guangxi! However, I dare It is said that it is impossible to eat it in major restaurants in Paris, France!" The humorous joke made everyone laugh.After drinking for three rounds, Yu Zuobai asked casually: "I heard that my brother once worked in the army?" Deng Bin said: "Yes. When the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated, I worked as a small soldier under General Feng Yuyang. Later, when Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei wiped out the Qing Party, I was kicked out."

It was at the end of 1926, Deng Xiaoping was studying at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow. His name at that time was Deng Xixian—the Russian name "Dozorov", and his two partners (Wang Chongyun and Zhu Shiheng) were members of the first advance team. Feng Yuxiang's troops were dispatched by the Soviet Union (the CCP successively sent more than 200 personnel to Feng's Kuomintang army, including Liu Bojian, Chen Yannian, Liu Zhidan, Wang Yifei, etc.).The three of them traveled from Kulun (that is, Ulan Bator) in Mongolia to Baotou in China on three Soviet trucks that delivered guns and ammunition to Feng Yuxiang's troops.

The vast wasteland, with no human habitation, is in the middle of winter, covered with ice and snow, and the journey is extremely difficult.Three trucks were driving bumpily on the desolate grassland.If you are hungry, eat some dry food; if you are cold, find some cow dung to keep warm.After finally getting out of the wasteland, there is a vast desert beyond the wasteland.This desert is even more desolate than the grassland: there is no grass, no water, no trees, and no one.There are no roads in the grasslands, and cars can still drive, but in the desert, cars can no longer walk.I had to change to a camel and walked for eight days and nights before I walked out of the seemingly endless sea of ​​death.The sand in the desert is like snow, and the moon in Yanshan is like a hook.He Dangjin connects the brain, and walks quickly to step on the clear autumn. He and his partners sang the "Horse Poetry" by Tang Dynasty poet Li He over and over again, and they were greatly moved again and again, and a kind of sentiment was detached from the loneliness and unbearable training. So densely and elegantly spread out in the vast Gobi Gobi. In this way, after going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, after walking for more than a month, they finally arrived at Yinchuan in Ningxia, Northwest China.After a short rest, he set off again and arrived in Xi'an in February 1927 via the Shaanxi-Gansu Avenue.When Feng Yuxiang summoned them, they were all unkempt and disheveled. Deng Xixian was assigned to the newly established Xi'an Zhongshan Military Academy as the political director.Although the living expenses are paid by Feng Yuxiang's troops, this kind of military life is not rich, so he and his companions try to trick the principal Shi Kexuan (a member of the Communist Party, later sacrificed) from time to time, and let Shi treat guests to Xi'an. Drum Tower eats mutton steamed buns, "beating teeth sacrifice".At that time, it would be a good thing to be able to eat mutton steamed buns! In Feng Yuxiang's army for only three or four months, the political situation of the first civil revolutionary war changed dramatically. On April 12, 1927, Chiang Kai-shek betrayed the revolution and launched the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup.A large number of communists and revolutionary workers and peasants were bloodily suppressed. Their blood stained rivers, mountains and rivers, and the desert loess and green grass on the land of China. A vigorous revolution failed. Feng Yuxiang, who had participated in the revolution and was inclined to progress, fell to Chiang Kai-shek in this sudden change.In June of that year, Feng Yuxiang participated in the anti-communist meeting held by Wang Jingwei in Zhengzhou. Then, in the name of training camp, he ordered all the Communist Party members sent to his ministry to be concentrated in Kaifeng. Because Deng Xixian got the news in advance, he quietly left Xi'an and went to Wuhan.Although Feng Yuxiang echoed the anti-communist activities of Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei, he was influenced by progressive ideas after all. He had visited the Soviet Union and had intimate meetings with the leaders of the Soviet Communist Party, and he admired the Soviet revolution.Therefore, he showed mercy to most of the gathered Communists and did not harm them. In the end, Liu Bojian and other more than 200 communists were "gifted out of the country" Deng Bin withdrew his thoughts and smiled faintly. Yu Zuoyu said: "They are rushing, we invite you!" Li Mingrui also said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, we invite you!" Yu Zuobai nodded and said thoughtfully: "Deng Xiandi, please rest assured that no matter what happens in Guangxi Change, I, Yu, will never do anything to offend my friend! Heh, in my brother's opinion, what should we do now is the best strategy?" Deng Bin put down his chopsticks, pondered for a while, and said: "The most urgent task is to expand the army to increase its strength. As far as I know, although the remnants of Huang Shaohong and Lu Huanyan are dispatched, they are unreliable, so there is an urgent need to build a trustworthy and reliable army. At the same time, it is necessary to actively mobilize the masses, build workers' and peasants' self-defense forces, and eliminate the remnants of the old Guangxi clique. In this way, a climate can be formed, a foundation can be laid, and Guangxi's own solid territory can be established." Yu Zuobai listened, his eyes narrowed and he stared at the other party. When the words fell, he suddenly opened his eyes and smiled brightly, which seemed to be the general idea of ​​"heroes see the same thing": "My good brother is gentle and martial, can plan Good judgment, admiration!" Then he said to Li Mingrui: "Yusheng, you can talk to Mr. Deng about the related matter." Which matter?Li Mingrui said quickly: "In order to quickly form a team that can be mastered, my cousin and I have worked hard, discussing the establishment of a security brigade, with two new brigades, the fourth and fifth brigades; each brigade has 1,000 people. I would like to discuss this matter with Mr. Deng in detail after dinner, but for now, let’s drink more wine and eat more vegetables, because a thousand glasses of wine are too few for a bosom friend! Come, Mr. Deng, have another drink!" Deng Bin raised his glasses and touched each other: "Commander Li, let's have a good chat after dinner, let's do it!"
