At 8 o'clock in the morning of 10 August, the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army University held a grand opening ceremony, which was attended by leaders such as Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Zhang Wentian, Chen Yun, Bogu, Wang Jiaxiang, Deng Fa, Liu Bocheng, Li Fuchun, and Deng Xiaoping.

Zhou Enlai, and Zhu De all delivered passionate speeches at the opening ceremony, Xiao Hua, political commissar of the Third Red Division, spoke on behalf of all the students, and Liu Yimin, president of the Red Army University, commander of the Red Seventh Army Corps, and commander of the Shaanxi Provincial Military Region, clearly expounded the purpose, guiding ideology, and school system of running the school.

After the opening ceremony, I entered the intense study life.

The course schedule of the Red Army University is basically morning classes, afternoon discussions, Saturday tactical training, and weekly rest and housekeeping.

Liu Yimin specially made a sand table and asked the trainees to review and deduce the previous battles of the Red Army and sum up lessons and lessons on the sand table. This method is very practical, and each student can find the feeling of the original battlefield and summarize the successes and failures in the review and deduction of the battles he commanded and participated in.

On the first day of school, Liu Yimin gave the first class to everyone, and the title was "Be a Learning Commander".

Liu Yimin first started with the study of the two words, picked up the chalk and wrote the word "study" on the blackboard, and then wrote out the seal of the study of the two words, after writing, Liu Yimin said: "Comrades, please see, this learning word, above is a mountain, and it is a treasure mountain that hides many treasures, and the sub-character below is a man, and a man enters the mountain full of treasures, that is, to learn words." Let's look at this word again, there is a bird's feather, a feather, and another feather. What does this mean? This means that every day the bird has to flap its wings and practice flying. In the past, the word "learning" was used separately. Confucius said that learning is practiced from time to time, doesn't it also matter? Learning is to hear, see, and acquire knowledge and skills, mainly referring to the acceptance of knowledge and book knowledge, and sometimes the meaning of thinking. "Xi" is to consolidate knowledge and skills, and generally has three meanings: review, practice, practice, and sometimes the meaning of action. Therefore, learning is the process of acquiring knowledge, forming skills, and cultivating wisdom. In essence, it is a general term for learning, thinking, learning and acting. ”

These Red Army cadets were immediately attracted by Liu Yimin's lecture in simple terms, and they listened very seriously.

Liu Yimin's speech was full of vigor, and he vividly talked about why he should be a learning commander, the basic conditions for a learning commander, and how to become a learning commander.

An afternoon passed, and Liu Yimin's lecture ended, but the students' interest remained undiminished, and they strongly urged President Liu to continue his lecture tomorrow.

Liu Yimin knew that these trainees were all backbone members of the Red Army, who had experienced a hundred battles, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they were all generals, and some of them could also engage in economic work, and he himself taught them the most advanced theory of learning organization in later generations, which would be of great help to their thinking and work. It's just that the course has been arranged, and the teaching order cannot be disrupted, so I have no choice but to promise the comrades that if he has time, he will discuss it with the comrades.

In the evening, Liu Yimin returned to Xi'an. During this time, he was busy preparing for the establishment of the Red Army University, and he hardly returned home. When I got home, my father-in-law Tang Haiyan had gone to Tongguan Gold Mine to be the chief engineer, and only Li Yun and Tang Xingying were at home.

Seeing her husband come home, Tang Xingying didn't care if her mother would laugh or not, and threw herself into Liu Yimin's arms.

Li Yun knew that her daughter and son-in-law had something to say, so she turned around and went to prepare a meal.

Liu Yimin took a look, Tang Xingying had not changed significantly, and she had not yet come out of her arms. Just ask if you have reacted strongly lately? Still vomit or not?

Tang Xingying said shyly, there is no reaction now, and he won't vomit, and it's okay to eat, so let him not worry. Then I asked how the school was doing, and whether it was going well?

Liu Yimin briefly talked about the preparation of the school, and also talked about his class today.

After hearing this, Tang Xingying said that he was ruthless, and he didn't know how lonely he would be if he didn't come back to see her, if he hadn't had his mother. said that Liu Yimin laughed at her and was ashamed, thinking that a man would want to be like this.

Tang Xingying also felt ashamed, she didn't realize it when she was a girl before, since she met Liu Yimin, her heart was on him, especially after she got married, she felt that she couldn't leave him, and she panicked when she didn't see him for a day. I haven't seen him for such a long time, and I don't know how many times I have scolded the ruthless thief in my sleep. After meeting him, he was still so energetic, and his heart was steady.

During the meal, Liu Yimin said to his mother-in-law that he would go back and find some information for her to translate, so as to find something for her to do, so as not to be anxious at home.

Li Yun was happy to see her son-in-law so considerate, so she said that it was better to let her be a teacher and specialize in teaching English.

Liu Yimin thought about it, so he got up directly and called the president of Northwest University, told him that his mother-in-law was a French student and was proficient in English and French, and told him that he would let his mother-in-law report to Northwest University tomorrow and become an English teacher.

After making the call, Liu Yimin told Li Yun to pay attention to safety on the road when she went to work every day, and if necessary, she could ask the school to send someone to pick her up. After the explanation, Liu Yimin sat down to eat.

The next day, Liu Yimin did not go to the Red Army University and returned to the corps headquarters to deal with affairs.

When I met Luo Ronghuan at the corps headquarters, I learned that He Long, Ren Bishi, and Xiao Ke led the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps to Shaanxi. It turned out that after the Central Red Army entered Guizhou, the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps launched an offensive in Xiangxi to cooperate with the Central Red Army's actions. After the Central Red Army occupied Chengdu, He Jian withdrew the main force and went all out to encircle and suppress the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps, forcing He Long to lead his troops to move to the border of Hunan and Guizhou. After the Central Red Army entered and occupied Shaanxi, the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps also reached the Sichuan-Guizhou border. But at this time, the Sichuan army gathered, and they couldn't get over, so they have been operating in the border area of Hunan, Sichuan and Guizhou. After the armistice order was issued, the Kuomintang no longer encircled and suppressed, but the border areas of Hunan, Sichuan, and Guizhou were too poor, and it was a problem for the troops to eat there. The central government ordered them to move to Shaanxi. For the sake of safety, the troops had to make a big circle, climb snow-capped mountains, cross grasslands, bypass the Kuomintang defense line, and enter northern Sichuan. Now he is ordered to enter Shaanxi to recuperate.

When Liu Yimin heard this, the two front armies still took the Long March, and the troops must have suffered great losses. Just asked Luo Ronghuan, where is Mr. He now? Luo Ronghuan said that the central government ordered the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps to rest and recuperate in Baoji, and the Red 13th Division and the Fourth Independent Division moved eastward and entered the front line of Pucheng and Hancheng to take up the task of river defense. Mr. He, Ren Bishi, and Xiao Ke are now rushing to Xi'an, and it is estimated that they will arrive in the next two days.

When Liu Yimin heard this, he hurriedly called Wu Zheng and asked him to prepare clothing, weapons, and ammunition for the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps, and when Mr. He arrived, he would see what they needed, prepare them together, and let them take them back.

Ni Hua sent a telegram, telling Liu Yimin that the first batch of purchased materials had been shipped, and the recruiters were also accompanying the ship, asking Liu Yimin to prepare to receive them. Now that the U.S. economy has begun to recover, the money invested in the stock market has doubled. At the same time, Ni Hua asked Liu Yimin when he was going to go to the United States, and she made arrangements.

Liu Yimin immediately went to Comrade Chen Yun, reported the contents of Ni Hua's telegram, and discussed how to transport the equipment and personnel back to Shaanxi.

To Liu Yimin's surprise, Comrade Chen Yun had already made proper arrangements, and after receiving the goods in Hong Kong, they would be transported directly to Tianjin, and they would be transported back from Tianjin by railway in the name of Shanxi, and cross the Yellow River in Hancheng.

Liu Yimin knew that our party had strength in Hong Kong, and he was more at ease about receiving goods from Hong Kong, but he did not expect Comrade Chen Yun to make such a proper arrangement, and it had already been deployed in advance. I asked Comrade Chen Yun if he needed to send a small unit to Tianjin to receive goods? Chen Yun smiled and said that there is no need, now that Tianjin is in the hands of the 29th Army, we have a way to transport the equipment back safely.

Seeing that Chen Yun was so determined, thinking that Comrade Chen Yun had always been prudent in handling affairs in history, Liu Yimin no longer said anything.

Chen Yun looked at the telegram and asked, "Why do you still want to go to the United States?" ”

Liu Yimin had no choice but to talk about his idea of visiting the United States and winning the support of the United States. After Chen Yun heard this, he felt that the idea was very good, but he didn't know if the central government would let him go. Liu Yimin asked Comrade Chen Yun to blow the wind in front of the chairman and probe his breath when it was convenient, and then report to the chairman if possible.

Chen Yun refused as soon as he could, telling Liu Yimin to say it himself. However, the approved surname may be so small that he will not even be allowed to go to Pingjin, let alone go to such a far place in the United States?

Liu Yimin thought about it for a while, and felt that now that the Red Army University had just opened, it was a bit inappropriate to report to the chairman that he was going to the United States, so he had no choice but to go back and send a report to Ni Hua, telling her that the comrades sent by the central government to manage the company would arrive soon, and that she should hand over the affairs of the company to the comrades who were sent to her, study with peace of mind, and strive to return to China as soon as possible. As for his going to the United States, the time is not ripe now, wait and see.

Two days later, He Long, Ren Bishi, and Xiao Ke went to Xi'an to report to the Central Committee.

Liu Yimin knew that after Mr. He arrived in Xi'an, he took time out to visit them. As soon as they met, Liu Yimin and Mr. He hit it off at first sight, and He Long's boldness and humor were very appealing to Liu Yimin. He directly invited He Long and the three to the Seventh Army Corps, and asked Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, Wu Zheng, Qian Zhuangfei, and Hu Di to meet with Mr. He, and have dinner in the restaurant of the Seventh Army Headquarters in the evening.

Among the generals and commanders of our army, Mr. Zhu has the demeanor of an elder, Mr. Peng is severe, Mr. Lin's surname is dull, Liu Shuai is generous, Luo Shuai, Nie Shuai, Xu Shuai, and Ye Shuai all have their own merits, but when Liu Yimin studied military history in later generations, his favorite is Mr. He and Mr. Chen, the reason is very simple, these two people are very bold, Chen Shuai is generous, humorous, talented, He Lao will always play, fishing, basketball and everything, which is right Liu Yimin's temper.

He Long also knew a little bit about Liu Yimin's situation, he originally thought that he was such a capable person, but he was afraid that he would be a majestic and murderous master, but he didn't expect Liu Yimin to be so elegant, and he could talk and laugh, and he had fresh ideas. Just this drinking is different from others, and there are endless tricks, and if you are not careful, you will have to fall for him and drink the penalty wine. At this time, Mr. He finally met his bosom friend, and the two of them went back and forth, and they were dizzy.

Next, Liu Yimin asked Cai Zhong to accompany He Long to go around Xi'an for a few days, see Huaqing Pond and Big Wild Goose Pagoda, visit the Red Army University, and listen to Liu Yimin's class. Hearing this, He Long immediately asked Liu Yimin to let the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps send people to participate in the study no matter what, and without waiting for Liu Yimin's consent, he directly sent a telegram and transferred 20 cadres to Xi'an to study at the Red Army University.

Liu Yimin took a night and called Chen Yun, Liu Bocheng, and Deng Xiaoping, and accompanied He Long to watch the Qin dialect together.

When Mr. He left, Liu Yimin asked Wu Zheng to bring the prepared clothing, medicines, weapons and ammunition with him, and a battalion was sent by the baggage regiment to escort him, and Huang Su, the commander of the Xi'an garrison area, on behalf of the Seventh Army Corps, took the Legion Art Troupe to Baoji to offer condolences.

Mr. He was moved, and shouted that the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps owed the Seventh Army Corps, and the 13th Division and the Fourth Division had handed over the farms in Baoji Tunken to them, and the comrades of the Seventh Army Corps were too polite to send so many things.

After sending off Mr. He, Liu Yimin sent a report to [***], Nie Rongzhen, Zuo Quan, Peng Dehuai, Yang Shangkui, Deng Ping, and Xu Xiangqian, inviting them to the Red Army University to give classes to the students, and arranged the specific time and courses for each of them.

In addition to being the president of the Red Army University, Liu Yimin also had to give lectures on army contract tactics and write handouts every day to prepare for classes.

[***], Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Zhang Wentian, Chen Yun, [***], Liu Bocheng, Deng Xiaoping and others were all pestered by Liu Yimin to teach students at the Red Army University, and [***] and Liu Bocheng came the most. Even Zhang Qun, Zhang Zhizhong, and Chen Cheng were invited by Liu Yimin to give lectures at the Red Army University, Zhang Qun talked about his own national conditions, Zhang Zhizhong talked about his experience of fighting with the Chinese army, and Chen Cheng talked about the combat experience of the 11th Division during the Central Plains War.

Zhang Qun said that he had stayed for many years, and he had experience in negotiations, talked about the national strength and customs of the book, quoted scriptures and classics, and talked eloquently, and the students listened to it with relish. Zhang Zhizhong, on the other hand, sorted out his observations of the Yue army when he participated in the "128 Song Shanghai War of Resistance," and said in detail that none of the Red Army cadres had seen the Yue army and listened to it with great devotion. Chen Cheng reviewed and explained the several battles he led the 11th Division to fight during the Central Plains War.

Since this is the highest school of learning in the Red Army, and the students are all division commanders and regiment commanders of the Red Army, Zhang Qun and the three of them did not want to lose their face, they were very well prepared, and their speeches were really good, which won the applause of the students.

It is said that Chiang Kai-shek received a report from Zhang Qun that Liu Yimin had invited them to give lectures at the Red Army University, and that he believed that this was a good opportunity for propaganda and was very supportive. Later, when I heard that the three of them did not talk about Sanming Cooking Righteousness and the New Life Movement, they were so angry that they even scolded Niang Xipi and sent a report directly to Zhang Qun, and they were not allowed to give lectures in the future. Zhang Qun, Zhang Zhizhong, and Chen Cheng were all very depressed, thinking in their hearts, this is the Red Army University, if he and others talk about Sanming Cooking Righteousness and the New Life Movement there, I am afraid that let alone applause, they may be ousted from the stage on the spot, isn't that the person who lost his seat?
