The City God Temple at the foot of Wolong Mountain in the north of Tingzhou City covers a wide area and has ancient trees. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Standing for more than 500 years of Shipai mountain gate and the front hall, the main hall, the apse and the east and west courtyards on both sides and more than 20 side rooms, only because of disrepair, plus the south of the city South Chan Temple, the east of the city Wanshan Temple and the adjacent Dingguang Temple incense vigorous, believers are increasing, the largest city god temple in Tingzhou is gradually declining, the inside and outside of the wild grass is overgrown, the east and west courtyard walls have long collapsed, more than 20 side rooms in the courtyard on both sides are dilapidated, only the front hall and the main hall are still intact mud bodhisattvas in the silent recounting of the glory of the past.

After the instructor occupied Tingzhou, the division commander Zheng Yi reserved the county government compound with superior conditions to the soon-to-be-established Tingzhou revolutionary government, and the county government compound and the adjacent city military camp were temporarily used as the three regiment stations, and the city god temple on higher ground and overlooking the whole city was favored by Zheng Yi.

After the cleaning of the officers and soldiers of the various departments directly under the instructor, and the repair of more than 500 local craftsmen for five consecutive days, the City God Temple once again showed the magnificent momentum of the past.

The instructor's division and the departments directly under it have already been stationed in it, two sets of tall antennas have been erected on the hill of the highest backyard, and the east and west courtyard walls and the courtyards on both sides are still under intense repair.

Zheng Yi and Chief of Staff Wang Huchen strode out of the main hall of the City God Temple, and saw two local men waiting at the bottom of the steps.

The two are of similar stature, both wearing the common collarless cardigan, slightly old but very clean, all seven cloth buttons in front of the chest and abdomen are buttoned, looking very rigorous, the lower body is a dark blue cropped pants with wide trouser legs, wearing straw sandals under their feet, and holding beautifully woven sunshade hats in their hands.

When the two saw the tall Zheng Yi and Wang Huchen walking quickly, they immediately straightened up their waists and looked carefully.

Zheng Yi and Wang Huchen are both tall people with a height of 1.8 meters, and their military careers over the years and baptism of blood and fire have shaped their extraordinary temperament.

"Who are the two of you who are Comrade Guo Diren of the Longyan County Party Committee?"

Zheng Yi walked down the steps as he spoke, taking the lead in extending his enthusiastic hands.

Guo Diren, who had short hair, immediately put down his hat, held Zheng Yi's hands, and shook them excitedly: "Comrade Zheng Yi, I am Guo Diren, do you remember me?" ”

Zheng Yi carefully looked at Guo Diren, who was dark-skinned and smiling, and nodded after a little thought: "I have an impression, I seem to have seen ...... somewhere."

"At the Guangzhou Agricultural Lecture Institute, when you and another young comrade came in to listen to Commissar Mao's lecture, I sat in front of you, at that time the two of you looked very different from our group of students, at a glance I knew that they were soldiers who had undergone strict training, so I was very curious, I looked back at you a few times, and you nodded to me, although I didn't talk, but I was very impressed, Comrade Gao Hanyu was sitting next to you at that time, remember?"

Guo Diren's eyes were full of expectation.

Zheng Yi suddenly realized: "I remember!" Welcome, Comrade Guo Diren, I really didn't expect us to meet in this place, I have been worrying about the establishment of the Tingzhou Revolutionary Government these days, you have come too timely! ”

"Come on, let me introduce to you, this is Comrade Wang Huchen, chief of staff of the instructor, and also a member of the party committee of our tutor, if he hadn't told me that two comrades from local party organizations had visited, I am afraid I would have rushed to Ruijin."

Guo Diren hurriedly shook hands with Wang Huchen cordially, and finally pulled the young man with long hair behind him forward: "This is Comrade Luo Huaisheng, our temporary county party secretary of Longyan...... The Longyan Rebellion was led by me and Secretary Luo, Deng Zihui, Zhang Dingcheng and other comrades, but unfortunately after the failure, Comrade Zihui and Comrade Dingcheng were separated. ”

Luo Huaisheng stepped forward to shake hands with Zheng Yi and Wang Huchen: "Our comrades in western Fujian have long heard of Comrade Zheng Yi and the invincible instructor, and we admire him incomparably!" ”

Zheng Yi said with a polite smile: "From now on, I will have to rely on the strong support of the comrades in western Fujian!" Come on, come on, go in and talk about it, there are so many things to say to you, and many things need to be discussed with you and the comrades in western Fujian. ”

The wide and towering main hall of the City God Temple has changed greatly, the large and small mud bodhisattvas on the north position and both sides have been lost, and the plinth of the statue of one meter and two meters high and four meters long and wide is neatly stacked with stacks of papers and pen and ink inkstones, etc., and two rows of high-backed chairs with exquisite workmanship are placed on both sides of the pedestal.

The three walls had just been painted, the smell of lime water still lingered in the air, and the stone pedestals against the walls on either side had now become the desks of the divisional staff officers, and the mythological patterns on the pedestals were vivid and exquisite.

Guo Diren and Luo Huaisheng sat humbly on the chair opposite Zheng Yi under the warm greeting of Wang Huchen, and without waiting for Zheng Yi to speak, they took the lead in telling the story of coming to Tingzhou:

"After the failure of the Longyan uprising, I escaped and hid in a small village on the outskirts of Hangxian in the south of Tingzhou, and on the evening of June 4, a familiar local businessman came to me and Comrade Luo Huaisheng and told us that the Communist Party instructor had defeated Tingzhou, and we couldn't believe it at all, and after asking for a long time, we thought that it might be true......

"Early the next morning, we began to rush to Tingzhou, and just walked to Tufang Town, 90 miles south of Tingzhou, and heard again the rumors that the instructor had held a trial meeting and shot more than 40 local tyrants and inferior gentry and Kuomintang officials, and we no longer had the slightest suspicion, and rushed over immediately after breakfast the morning before yesterday, and only took a ferry into Tingzhou City yesterday evening. I came to visit this morning with a little preparation, haha! ”

Zheng Yi invited the two guests to drink tea first, discussed with Wang Huchen a little, and called Zhang Yao, the deputy chief of staff who was specifically responsible for liaising with the local party organization.

After mutual introductions, Zhang Yao truthfully reported the current situation of the party organization in Tingzhou: "After we arrived, we only found two comrades from the local party organization, and according to the introduction of the two comrades, the party and government organization in Tingzhou died and fled after April 12, and has not yet recovered. ”

"The two comrades in Tingzhou are both ordinary party members, and they are currently going down to the surrounding towns and villages together with our political work team to carry out political propaganda and conscription mobilization; since the contact with the central authorities has been cut off for two months, we can only inform the Jinggangshan Base Area Former Enemy Committee about the situation in Tingzhou three days ago, hoping to get in touch with the central comrades in charge of the work of the party group in the Fujian Province through the comrades of the former base area committee and the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee."

"Now that I see you, I'm finally relieved."

Guo Di and Luo Huaisheng had long known about the situation in Tingzhou, because the three major families and local powerful forces in Tingzhou were too powerful, and the local party organizations had few members, so they had not been able to carry out their work effectively, and the situation became worse and worse after April 12.

But now with the teachers who are brave and good at fighting, and the soldiers are strong, the situation is very different, and the development conditions have become extremely superior, far exceeding Longyan, Yongding, Shanghang and other places.
