After returning to the army headquarters from the night market, Liu Yimin repeatedly pondered a question: the Paris Commune began in the cities, and the revolution in the Soviet Union also began in the cities, and the working class and citizens in the cities were the first to be mobilized, while China did not form a capitalist society, and the cities did not have a strong working class ranks, and the vast majority of the population was concentrated in the countryside. Therefore, it is only [***] that the Chinese revolution must follow the road of encircling the cities from the countryside.

Lying on the bed, Liu Yimin still thought that the fundamental difference between China and the West lies in the difference in civilization. From ancient times to the present, China has belonged to an agricultural civilization, while the Western powers have basically belonged to an urban civilization. The agricultural civilization gave birth to the consciousness of self-sufficient small farmers, while the urban civilization gave birth to the concept of big business and big industry. The practice of the modernization process in later generations has proved that if China wants to truly achieve modernization, it must vigorously develop urban civilization.

Now that we have occupied Xi'an and many other county seats, we must make full use of the urban functions of Xi'an and these county seats, develop the city, strengthen the urban economy, radiate the surrounding villages with Xi'an, and promote the rapid economic development of the base areas.

Thinking about it, I fell asleep in a daze.

That night, Tang Xingying couldn't sleep while lying in bed.

What happened today is like a dream.

Since he had a good impression of him on the way from Liping to Zhenyuan, his heart was tied to him. His every word, smile, wave and throw is like a magnet, firmly attracting himself. Knowing that after he was assassinated, his liver and intestines were broken, and he felt that the sky had fallen. In the two days that I served him in Chengdu, I obviously felt that he had regarded himself as his wife, and the tone of his voice and his intimate actions clearly loved him. I never dreamed that I would suddenly kill a Ni Hua and smash it all.

Ni Hua is very good, but he is not bad. Although he does not have a prominent family background like Ni Hua, nor did he study abroad, he is also well-educated, and in the eyes of his relatives and friends, he is a gentle and fresh lady, and many people will change their eyes when they see them. Why is he and his two months of living and dying together so vulnerable in front of Ni Hua?

Let's say he's distracted, but that's definitely not. Others don't know, and they have always been in love with him, so it's naturally clear. His heart is very big, it can be said that it is like the sky, and he can't touch the edge at all. To say that he is greedy for Ni Hua's beauty and lost, it is simply a joke! Aren't you beautiful? Isn't Zhao Xiaoman beautiful? Isn't Jingjing beautiful? In terms of appearance alone, I'm afraid it's not much different from Ni Hua, didn't he take a second look at anyone?

To say that he covets Ni Hua's family background is an insult to him. With his ability, how can he see those outward things? Maybe one day, he can really lead the team to occupy Nanjing and arrest Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling! When the time comes, the Jiang Song family will become his captives, and he will talk about his family background or not.

It turned out that he thought that Zhao Xiaoman was versatile and liked him as much as he did, and he always thought that he couldn't be compared to Zhao Xiaoman, but he didn't expect that Ni Hua, who was not very conspicuous, would take the lead.

So what attracted Ni Hua to him?

Ni Hua is indeed temperamental, but there are more good women in the world, with his kind of heart that pays attention to major events, under normal circumstances, no matter how good a woman is, I am afraid he will not be nostalgic. Is this fate? The two of them were born to be destined? He was pitiful and waited all the time, and finally let Ni Hua hook his heart away with a glance?

Today he finally made his attitude clear to himself. God is pitiful, how hard he waited for this day, and almost made him disappear from his side.

He was a little rough, not as gentle as he imagined and expected, but he finally made his dream come true with his rough kisses.

Now that the relationship has been clarified, you can't be stupid anymore, you have to watch him closely, follow him, be his happy wife, and make him the happiest man in the world. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will tell him that I am willing to marry him and let him marry himself.

Thinking of this, the beautiful Tang Xingying felt hot on her face, and she hurriedly covered her face with a quilt. After a while, I remembered that it was late at night, in my dormitory bed, where was there anyone? Only then did he stick his head out of the quilt again, his smart eyes rolled around, he smiled, and slowly fell asleep.

After getting up the next morning, Qian Zhuangfei sent a telegram, and Liu Yimin saw that it was a circular from the Central Committee, which contained the abolition of the Northwest Military and Political Commission and the transfer of Comrade Zhang Guotao to a full-time member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee; The original Sichuan-Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee was renamed the North Sichuan Provincial Party Committee, and the Sichuan-Shaanxi Soviet Political Axe was renamed the Northern Sichuan Anti-Ming Cooking Political Axe; The former Red Fourth Front Army was directly under the Military Commission, Xu Xiang was the commander-in-chief, and Chen Changhao was the political commissar. Among them, the Red 31st Army and the 33rd Army of the Four Front Armies were temporarily under the command of [***] and Nie Rongzhen, and formed the North Sichuan Corps with the Red First and Ninth Army Corps.

After reading the telegram, Liu Yimin was silent, thinking that Zhang Guotao had finally bowed his head and avoided the tragedy of the Red Army almost splitting in history, and he didn't know what the central government would do next to deal with Zhang Guotao. Anyway, no matter what, the history of Zhang Guotao's monopoly on the Four Front Army has finally come to an end, and the history of the annihilation of the Western Route Army will never be repeated.

Qian Zhuangfei asked if he had handed over the telegram to the party committee members for circulation?

Liu Yimin nodded and asked him to call Chief of Staff Zeng to come over.

After Zeng Zhongsheng came in, Liu Yimin asked if he had read the telegram? Zeng Zhongsheng said that he had just seen it, and he was cheap Zhang Guotao's villain.

Liu Yimin shook his head and said, "I don't see it that way. However, this telegram shows that we won the first leg of the struggle with Zhang Guotao, and it was a bloodless victory. This incident also shows that the core of our party's leadership has begun to mature, and the resolution of the problem of intra-party struggle tends to be just and fair. There are some things that need to be confirmed after Zhang Guotao reports to the central authorities. I can't wait. ”

Zeng Zhongsheng also agreed with Liu Yimin's words, but his tone was a little lonely.

Liu Yimin said with a smile: "Chief of Staff Zeng, I don't think you are very happy, is it possible that you feel that my position as chief of staff of the Red Seventh Army is a little wronged by you, and you want to go back to be the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Front Army?" If you really want to go back, we can report to the central government. ”

Zeng Zhongsheng sighed: "I think of those comrades-in-arms who died unjustly, if only they didn't die!" I resolutely refused to go back to the Fourth Front Army, and the former comrades were no worse than me in terms of command. Besides, I like the environment of the Seventh Legion, everyone is a comrade and a brother, honest with each other, genuinely loving, and there is no need to be wary of each other. You are young, you have only been in the Red Army for a short time, and you do not understand the hardships we endured during that period of suffering. It was my lifelong dream to work in such a peaceful environment as the Seventh Legion. There is only one enemy, and it is clear that there is no need to worry about dark arrows again. This is more precious than anything else. ”

Liu Yimin is very happy, this military strategist who was unjustly killed by Zhang Guotao in history seems to have untied the knot in his heart and can travel lightly, and he has a strong military assistant since then. He told Zeng Zhongsheng to swoop down, do a good job in the large-scale military training, establish the prestige of the chief of staff in the whole army corps, and truly become the military supervisor of the whole army corps.

After Zeng Zhongsheng left, Liu Yimin remembered that he met the ploppy boss last night, so he went to find Vice Chairman Zhou and Zhang Wentian.

Zhang Wentian and his wife were supposed to live in the provincial government, but considering that Zhou Enlai and his family lived in the Seventh Army Headquarters, they also lived here.

When Liu Yimin went, Vice Chairman Zhou and Zhang Wentian had already gotten up and were walking in the yard.

Seeing that Liu Yimin was about to salute and shout the report again, Vice Chairman Zhou said with a smile: "If we meet every day, don't salute and shout the report, it's all a false courtesy!" ”

Liu Yimin still saluted Vice Chairman Zhou and Comrade Zhang Wentian seriously, and then reported: "You are my chief, I am your subordinate, although the chief loves his subordinates very much, but the military salute cannot be abolished. If you don't salute and report when you see the chief, then the Seventh Legion will become a bandit team. ”

Vice Chairman Zhou immediately smiled and asked if there was something wrong?

Liu Yimin talked about meeting the boss yesterday. After finishing speaking, he suggested: "Now that our army has gained a foothold in Xi'an, whether it is the 17th Route Army or the Central Army, no one wants to take Xi'an away again." However, the occupation of Xi'an is only the first step, and the next step is to pay close attention to stabilizing and developing Xi'an. There are two major aspects of this stability in Xi'an: First, it is necessary to seize the time to carry out land reform in the rural areas, so that the peasants can have land to grow and eat. However, if we carry out land reform here, we cannot continue the ultra-left practice of the Soviet zone, which is suicide. In addition to resolutely suppressing those bully landlords who are heavily indebted, other landlords who do not have public anger should have a practical policy. The second is to mobilize the city's industrialists, businessmen, and citizens to thoroughly clean up those reactionary elements, and turn Xi'an into our red fortress, so that workers can have jobs, supply is guaranteed, and the market is prosperous and stable. In this way, we must establish our grassroots organization and management team in Xi'an City, and we cannot be scattered as we are now. As for the development of Xi'an, my suggestions have been written, and if the leaders adopt them, please organize forces to implement them one by one as soon as possible. ”

Before Vice Chairman Zhou could speak, Zhang Wentian said: "Enlai, after Lao Mao and President Zhu come, we must study the issue of Xi'an's leadership as soon as possible." I strongly suggest that Comrade Liu Yimin be my deputy, who will be specifically responsible for the construction and development of Xi'an. ”

Vice Chairman Zhou said: "I'm afraid that it will be difficult for you to realize this wish, the enemy is still eyeing the enemy, and it is not the time for us to lay down our arms and concentrate on production, we need Comrade Liu Yimin to fight." However, Chen Yun and Fuchun are coming soon, and you will have a helper right away. By the way, Comrade Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan told me, you have arranged a large-scale military training activity, and you will hold a military parade in the future, right? ”

Liu Yimin replied: "The large-scale military training has already begun in the past two days, and the military parade can only be carried out after it has been reported to the Central Committee, so as to deter Yan Xishan, Liu Xiang and others and make them dare not follow Chiang Kai-shek in the civil war." ”

Vice Chairman Zhou said: "This is a good idea. However, you must be careful not to allow the invaders to attack us directly as soon as they come up. ”

Liu Yimin said: "Please rest assured, Vice Chairman Zhou, that the target of my initial offensive was Chiang Kai-shek, because they could not afford it, and what they wanted was a quick victory. However, in the future, after the all-out war of resistance against Japanese aggression is launched, we will enter the stage of stalemate between the two armies, and we will inevitably become the key targets of the Chinese army. This is the law of war, and no one can change it. ”

Vice Chairman Zhou pondered for a while and said, "Strengthening yourself is the key!" ”

Liu Yimin said: "Yes, only when we develop and grow can we eliminate the devils." At present, we must develop and strengthen the Red Army, and second, we must speed up the pace of building the Shaanxi base area, provide reliable guarantees for the troops in terms of food, munitions, and soldiers, and enhance our war sustainability. ”

Zhang Wentian said: "Comrade Liu Yimin, now Shaanxi is occupied by our army, but my provincial political axe is an empty shelf, I know that your Seventh Army Corps has a heavy task and lacks cadres. But I still have to ask you to help me send troops to join our task force, otherwise, your suggestions and plans will be empty words and will not be realized. ”

Liu Yimin said briskly: "Participating in the work team is a kind of training for the Red Seventh Army Corps, and Comrade Luo Fu has any requirements, although he said that as long as it is not a combat period, the troops resolutely support and cooperate with local work, and the slogan of our Red Seventh Army Corps is that the army and the people are one family." During the war, we still need the villagers to support the front! You have a plan, and we will send out whichever army you need to cooperate. In addition, I would like to report to Comrade Luo Fu that our regiment will start a reclamation operation in the next few days, taking advantage of the abundance of wasteland in Shaanxi, and requiring each company to have its own ration fields, vegetable gardens, and breeding farms. It is estimated that after the autumn harvest, the army will be able to achieve partial self-sufficiency in grain, and it is planned that next year the whole army will be self-sufficient in grain, vegetables, and meat, so as not to cause trouble to the people of Shaanxi. In the future, no matter where our Seventh Army Corps goes, we will carry out cantonment and reclamation, so that we can produce while fighting and lighten the burden on the masses. ”

Hearing Liu Yimin say this, Vice Chairman Zhou and Comrade Zhang Wentian were very satisfied. Vice Chairman Zhou said: "Your Seventh Army Corps has taken the lead in carrying out cantonment reclamation, so in this way, when you have free time in the past two days, you and Sister Deng will go to the army to have a look and work with our comrades." ”

Zhang Wentian said: "I'm very guilty that you, a military cadre, have gone to the front of the political axe in grasping production. Thank you comrades of the Seventh Legion, and I will go and work with my comrades when I go back. By the way, I want to use your engineer regiment as the basis to organize the masses to repair roads with work for relief, and the engineer regiment is responsible for organizing and providing technical support. You don't think it's going to work. ”

Liu Yimin said directly: "Obey the order and listen to the command!" ”

After further discussions, the three decided to report to the central authorities and order the Red Seventh Army Corps, the Red 25th Army, and the Northern Shaanxi Red Army to mobilize all of them, and mobilize the masses while training, reclamation, and mobilization. A large number of task forces were formed to go deep into every village and town in Shaanxi, mobilize the masses on a large scale, set up village, township, and county political power, and completely destroy all kinds of Kuomintang grassroots organizations and militia forces in Shaanxi. The leaders of each division temporarily concurrently serve as the leaders of the party committees and political axes in their localities. The troops directly under the corps mobilized the masses in Xi'an to form the grassroots political power in Xi'an.

After the discussion, Zhang Wentian was so anxious that he immediately went to draft the document and telegram, and Zhou Enlai and Liu Yimin both laughed.

Deng Yingchao saw that Vice Chairman Zhou was talking with Zhang Wentian and Liu Yimin, so he asked the guards to call Zhang Wentian, Liu Ying and Liu Yimin's breakfast. As soon as he saw that they had discussed it, he called Vice Chairman Zhou and Liu Yimin to go in to eat together.

Liu Yimin was also not polite, and sat down at the dining table with Vice Chairman Zhou, and waited for Zhang Wentian and Liu Ying to come over, and several people continued to talk while eating.

Liu Yimin looked at Sister Deng and Liu Ying, and thought that it was a pity that such an excellent talent only became a housewife, it was a waste of talent. Just said: "Vice Chairman Zhou, Comrade Luo Fu, when I saw Sister Deng and Sister Liu, I remembered something, I don't know if I can talk about it?" ”

Vice Chairman Zhou said: "Say, everyone wants to hear from you, because every time you have new content." ”

Liu Yimin said: "Chinese women are most oppressed by feudalism, and women's emancipation and the protection of the rights and interests of women and children should be one of the important tasks of our party. I believe that we should set up a national women's federation to lead and mobilize women for emancipation and development. Our Party has female cadres whose intelligence is no less than that of gay men, and we should let them play a role. In addition, this person's brain is more and more active, and if the lesbians do not work for a long time, it will affect their mood. Is it suggested that Sister Deng, Sister Cai, Sister Liu, Sister Kang, and Sister He take the lead in grasping women's work, so that women can eradicate illiteracy and marital autonomy in the short term, and when they see results, they will grasp women's production, support and rights protection, and participate in politics and discussion on behalf of women. What do you think? ”

Liu Ying immediately got up and served Liu Yimin a bowl of porridge, and forced him to give him a bun, so he had to watch him eat.

Vice Chairman Zhou said with a smile: "I don't have to express my position on this matter, do you see how positive Liu Ying's attitude is!" ”

Sister Deng immediately said to Liu Yimin: "Then don't go anywhere after you have eaten, write out your suggestions first, and send them to the chairman and the boss." ”

Liu Yimin agreed repeatedly.

Liu Ying said: "I finally understand why Xiao Tang is crying and shouting after you, not to mention anything else, just because you sincerely think about the female comrades, many people can't compare." You can rest assured, when you get married, the eldest sister will definitely help you make good arrangements to ensure that you are satisfied. ”

This time the topic immediately changed, and Sister Deng immediately asked Xiao Tang if he was okay, Liu Yimin was a little embarrassed, so he had to say that it was basically no problem.

Sister Deng immediately asked if you were sure when you would get married? Liu Yimin said that he hadn't reached that point yet, and there was no urgency in this matter, let Tang Xingying decide.

Liu Ying said that after dinner, she went to Tang Xingying to set the wedding time.

Zhang Wentian laughed and said to Liu Ying: "Do you still need to look for it?" That girl is not stupid, I guess she will bring up the matter of marriage soon. Such an excellent man, she dares to let it go? This Shaanxi has produced beauties since ancient times, if Tang Xingying dares to say no, I dare to guarantee that soon this Liu Yimin will not be hers. ”

Deng Yingchao immediately said: "Comrade Luo Fu, you are one of the leaders of the central government, you have to pay attention to what you say, these two people love each other for a lifetime, and you can't encourage young people to have bad thoughts." Comrade Liu Yimin, don't listen to him, he will teach you badly. ”

Zhou Enlai, Zhang Wentian and Liu Yimin all laughed.

After dinner, Liu Yimin drafted the "Proposal on the Establishment of the All-China Women's Federation" at Vice Chairman Zhou's residence and sent it to the Central Committee in his own name.

After returning to the office, Liu Yimin called Wu Zheng and told him to strengthen the safety and security of the pharmaceutical factory and the procurement and supply of raw materials, and asked him to look for a candidate for the political commissar of the pharmaceutical factory.

After Wu Zheng left, Tang Xingying came and asked where he was going today?

Liu Yimin thought about it and felt that he needed to have a serious talk with Tang Xingying, so he asked her to sit down and said sincerely: "Xiao Tang, if you have no opinion, our relationship is confirmed." I think that in the future, you will still have to undertake the work within the scope of your responsibilities in the logistics command, you are still young, you must study more and improve yourself. I want my wife to be an outstanding woman with self-improvement, career and contribution. I don't want to turn you into a pure housewife because of me. I don't know if you agree with me or not. ”

Tang Xingying didn't expect Liu Yimin to say such a thing to him, so he was very happy, so he said, "Thank you for supporting me so much." ”

Liu Yimin was also very happy, so he said: "You are a knowledgeable and responsible female soldier of the Red Army, comrades like you very much, I hope you will keep your sassy and heroic posture forever, and always be our heroine of the Red Army." Just now, I wrote a proposal to the Central Committee, suggesting the establishment of the All-China Women's Federation, and the attitude of Sister Deng and Sister Liu is very positive, and it is estimated that the Central Committee will approve it soon. I think that after the establishment of this women's federation, you will participate in the work on behalf of our female soldiers of the Red Seventh Army, and Sister Deng is older than us, has deep qualifications, and has rich work experience, so you will follow them to do more specific work, which means to learn more from them. I don't know if you'd like to? ”

Tang Xingying knew that this was a valuable learning opportunity for herself, so why wouldn't she want to? Just say, "I do, and thank you for thinking about me!" ”

Liu Yimin saw that Tang Xingying was in such a good mood, and knew that this girl understood what she meant, so he said: "I want to go to Weinan and Tongguan to visit the comrades of the Red 25th Army, and I want to see the terrain and mines of Tongguan by the way." You go and make arrangements, let a few teachers and students of Sichuan University who are studying geology with us who are traveling with the new corps, and let Li Chengyi bring the gifts prepared for the Red 25th Army, and set off after lunch. ”

At one o'clock at noon, Liu Yimin left Cai Zhong and Wu Zheng to guard the army headquarters, and he, Luo Ronghuan and Zeng Zhongsheng led a battalion of Li Chengyi's guards to Xi'an Railway Station.

At this time, the Longhai Railway has been repaired to Xi'an, and the train has been normalized. But due to the occupation of Shaanxi by the Red Army, the railway was already interrupted. After Liu Yimin arrived in Xi'an, he ordered Wu Zheng to send cadres to exercise military control over the railway, and organized railway workers to resume operations between Xi'an and Tongguan. As for the issue of the passage of the Longhai Road in its entirety, Liu Yimin was ready to raise it during the negotiations between the KMT and the Communist Party, and strive to allow Shaanxi and the outside world to achieve access to roads, postal services, and foreign exchange. However, it can't be realized for the time being, and the train can only go to Tongguan.

(To be continued)
