In late December, Ouyang Jian returned to Ruijin to participate in the New Year's tea party. Today's Ruijin is a place where progressive young people from all over the country want to go, and a large number of young men and women come here every day with ideals, and then they are sent to all parts of Jiangxi. The young people are full of energy, and the fiery scene is exciting. At present, Ruijin has built the Red Star Radio Station, and the loudspeakers often play anti-Japanese songs to stimulate people's fighting spirit. At the New Year's Day tea party held by the Central Committee, the newly formed Art Troupe of the Central Military Commission will perform on stage for the first time, which naturally aroused everyone's appetite.

In Runzhi's residence, Mrs. He Zizhen deliberately quarreled with a few dishes to wash the dust for Ouyang Jian. After listening to Ouyang Jian's report, Runzhi said excitedly: "Brother Ouyang, it seems that you are an acute child, but it is good to be an acute child, and cultivating naval talents in advance is a precautionary move, this is a century-old plan." We must always build a strong navy, and we must always do that. Establish a shipyard university, cultivate high-end talents, establish a shipyard school to cultivate technical talents, walk on two legs, one step at a time! ”

Looking at Runzhi's excited expression, Ouyang Jian continued: "Chairman, Sa Zhenbing is highly respected, and having him as the principal can attract many high-end talents to defect, and at the same time, it can also deceive the national government, which will reduce a lot of trouble in the future." "You are very thoughtful, Sa Zhenbing is a patriot of noble character, and there is no problem in choosing him as the principal. Brother Ouyang, you always make me refreshed, I want to hear your thoughts, since the seizure of gunboats to establish the Red Star Fleet, you probably have a mature idea of creating a navy, I guessed correctly! ”

"Yes, I already have a mature idea, although the shipyards of the current national government can produce warships, they must rely on foreigners. Within 20 years, I intend to have the ability to build small warships independently and defend the coastal seas. Large warships are the trump card of the contemporary navy, especially aircraft carriers, and they are the weapons for the future navy to win. My idea is that if war breaks out, it is necessary to seize the enemy's warships by any means for your own use, of course, this part must meet certain conditions, and it is only an alternative. ”

"In addition, I want to build a medium-sea fleet within 20 years, at least with the ability to defend the South China Sea. The long-term goal is for us to build all kinds of warships, including aircraft carriers, completely independently. With all due respect, I firmly believe that Japan is well armed and will be defeated if it launches a war of aggression against China. Once Japan is defeated, Japan's shipbuilding industry will inevitably be used by us. "Well said, what is a far-sighted ancestor, only my brother Ouyang. Cheers to your words! Later, he asked about the status of atomic energy research, the development of penicillin, and the development of new weapons.

Ouyang Jian reported one by one and made a detailed analysis of the development situation, Runzhi was extremely excited, and the conversation did not end until late at night. The next day, Ouyang Jian visited Zhu De and others again, and Bogu went to Nanjing, intending to strengthen the lineup of negotiators, which was not only Bogu's prominent status, but also his eloquence was quite good.

In the evening, Ouyang Jian went to visit his old friend Tan Song, and now Tan Song has settled in Ruijin, and his wife and children have also been brought in. Tan Song was very happy to see Ouyang Jian coming to visit, his wife belonged to the small jasper type, and he was a little afraid of seeing people. Tan Song has a pair of children, the eldest son is in college in Nanchang, and the daughter next to him is also sixteen or seventeen years old and is a big girl.

Mrs. Sister-in-law quickly opened a table of wine and food and said politely: "General Ouyang, Tan Song often talks about you, and there is no preparation for your sudden visit. Mrs. Tan politely stepped back. Brother Ouyang, the insider has not seen the world, please forgive me! "Knowledgeable and reasonable, highlighting the traditional virtues, my sister-in-law is very good. This time, I saw that you looked much better and gained a lot of weight. That's right, with a good body, you can work better. "It was you who sued me for the black state, and Vice Chairman Zhou specially arranged to bring my wife over and let my wife supervise me. But I want to thank you, otherwise we wouldn't have been reunited. ”

"I know you hate to use one day for two days, but how much can one person do, you have to deliberately cultivate talents and give full play to the talents of others, so as to get twice the result with half the effort." "Brother Ouyang, it's much better now, Ruijin and the surrounding areas are on the right track, many of his subordinates can take charge of themselves, I'm much less stressed now, let's see if I've gained weight!" The two brothers chatted easily, Tan Song took the opportunity to ask about the new problems encountered, and Ouyang Jian answered them to the greatest extent. At present, Tan Song's way of thinking has been imperceptibly integrated into Ouyang Jian's ideological system, which is the most gratifying to him.

Two days later, in the morning, the head of the art troupe of the Central Military Commission suddenly came to visit. "Report to the Chief of the General Staff, I am Ai Hongxing, the head of the Art Troupe. It's only been 5 days until the New Year's tea party performance, but we have too few singing programs. I asked the chairman to find a way, and the chairman said that it was your idea to form an art troupe, let me find a way to find a way. The young man in front of him was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with long eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a handsome temperament. Ouyang Jian estimated that the name of the young man in front of him must have been changed later. Ouyang Jian said with a smile: "Captain Xiao Ai, you have found the right person for me, do you have anyone in your art troupe who can compose?" ”

"Of course, there are composers, and there is a new composer named Xian Xinghai, who is very powerful. But this composer has not been here for long, and it is difficult to quench the thirst of the distant water! "Let's go! Let's go to the art troupe, you bring this composer, and I will provide you with a few good songs, and let the composer write down the brief score and provide it for you to rehearse. Ai Hongxing was elated when he heard this, and danced happily, this kid was as light as a swallow and danced well.

When I came to the station of the art troupe, a room was rehearsing the girls' chorus, "The flowers in May are full of fields, and the flowers are covered with the blood donations of the soldiers, in order to save this dying nation, they have fought tenaciously and ・・・・・・ war." The female harmony was gentle and full of pathos. In front of him, a young man with very long hair was beating the beat. Ai Hongxing shouted through the window: "Chief of General Staff Ouyang, I've come to visit everyone!" Suddenly, all kinds of musical instruments and sounds stopped, and young handsome men and beautiful women ran out one after another. Who is Ouyang Jian, everyone wants to see his demeanor. Ouyang Jian shook hands with each member of the art troupe, and it took a long time to get rid of the entanglement.

In a room, Ai Hongxing introduced: "Chief of the General Staff, this is Comrade Xi Xinghai!" "Xi Xinghai is a little restrained, and he looks a little flustered." Comrade Xi Xinghai, hello! Looking at this excellent composer who created the classic Yellow River Cantata in the future, Ouyang Jian sighed with emotion. Hello Chief! "Facing Ouyang Jianxi, Xinghai is even more helpless." When I was in Shanghai, I was exposed to a lot of good Western music, and then I tried to fill in the lyrics! There was no way, Ouyang Jian had no choice but to lie.

When it comes to music, Xinghai immediately calms down, and it seems that there is a different person. "There is a song called "Red Star Follows Me to Fight", I hum you write down the score!" "The small bamboo row in the middle reaches of the river, the towering green mountains on both sides of the river, the red star shining brightly illuminates me to fight, the revolution is surging from generation to generation, and the party's teachings are in mind. Smash the evil old world, and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are covered with splendid ・・・・・・. "Let's sing a song, Xi Xinghai is extremely emotional, and he finishes the simple score. Although Ouyang Jian's voice is not suitable for singing this song, the tone is very accurate.

"Chief, this song is so good, it is so shocking, the melody is beautiful and beautiful, and the lyrics are full of artistic conception, expressing the spirit of the Red Army soldiers who are full of confidence and courage!" Xi Xinghai was so excited that he couldn't control himself, he simply tried to sing a few words and then sang it loudly, and suddenly there was a crowd outside. Next, more than a dozen songs such as "the soldier, the blood-stained demeanor, the return from target shooting, the nostalgia for his comrades-in-arms, the green flowers in the army, and his mother were dedicated by Ouyang Jian. Of course, some of the lyrics of these songs have been changed, and the lyrics must conform to the characteristics of this era.

Taking the nostalgia of my comrades-in-arms as an example, the first sentence is my lovely hometown at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain, Ouyang Jian was changed to the foot of Xiao Mountain, cantaloupe was changed to melon, and Dutar was changed to pipaqin. If this song still shows the artistic conception of Xinjiang, I am afraid it will be ridiculous. In the following days, Ouyang Jian personally participated in the rehearsal, and he proposed that dancing and singing should be carried out at the same time, which means singing and dancing, and the effect was concave after joint practice. The New Year is coming soon, and the auditorium of the Military Commission is very lively. Sitting at the table were military and political dignitaries, democratic figures, and representatives of various parties, and everyone gathered together to celebrate the New Year. First of all, Runzhi made a report on the New Year's situation and talked about the development of Jiangxi. Next, in a festive atmosphere, the first report performance of the Chinese Troupe began.

Ouyang Jian, Runzhi, Zhu De and others sat in the front row, and a beautiful female soldier had a sweet voice, first of all, the girls sang together, ten sent the Red Army, and flowers in May. The band's accompaniment is not very standardized, and there are organs, violins, erhu, and Western instruments such as brass horns. The subsequent male and female soloists continued to set off a climax, and the applause at the scene was thunderous and exciting. The unprecedented performance brought a different charm and made the people at the scene intoxicated. Almost every song was sung twice, but the audience still did not give up, and the first performance of the art troupe was a great success.

Finally, Ai Hongxing, the head of the art troupe, said: "Comrades, two-thirds of the songs reported for performance tonight are the first time you have heard them. These melodic songs are all written by Chief of General Staff Ouyang, let us welcome Chief of General Staff Ouyang with warm applause. Thunderous applause suddenly rang out, and Ouyang Jian couldn't shirk and had to come to the stage. "Comrades, tonight's performance of the Art Troupe is very exciting, and the beautiful melody has sounded the clarion call for the new year, indicating that our red base area is thriving."

"To cheer everyone up, I sang a famous Mongolian folk song called 'The Wild Goose', which is a story about the Mongolian national hero Gadamerin who fights against tyranny and fights for freedom." The wild goose to the south, flying over the reeds, the sky is vast, where the geese go, the heart is the northern hometown ・・・・・・. The melody is lingering and sonorous, the artistic conception is long, and the vast steppe and the fierce Mongolian man seem to be presented in front of everyone. Especially Ouyang Jian's slightly hoarse and magnetic voice brought everyone into the vast expanse of the sky, "Sing a song, Xi Xinghai wrote down the brief score for the first time, and thunderous applause ・・・・・・ the scene."

After the New Year, in view of the popularity of the art troupe, the Central Military Commission held that the performance of the art troupe was very successful, especially for enhancing the cohesion of the troops and cultivating the sentiments of officers and men. Immediately, the Military Commission ordered the art troupe to tour the troops. Composer Xi Xinghai thought that Ouyang Jian still had goods in his stomach, and under his desperate entanglement, Ouyang Jian had no choice but to tell the songs and dishes he knew. Some songs can't remember the lyrics at all, which means that many classic songs have the same melody, but the lyrics have changed.
