——Yan'an, June 26, 1937

The atmosphere in Yan'an at this time was a little dull, which was caused by the results of the Lushan Conference.

After the first meeting of Lushan, the Central Committee of the Red Party relented again, redrew up a plan for negotiations with the White Party, agreed in principle to organize the National Cabinet Alliance, but demanded that a common program be determined in order to lay the political foundation of the League and the two parties, and on the basis of recognizing the common program, it was agreed that the Red and White parties would each introduce an equal number of cadres to organize the supreme meeting, with Chiang Zhong as the chairman, and recognize that they had the final decision in accordance with the common program; There is no opposition to the future development trend of the League and its international relations with third countries, but it is necessary to maintain the organizational, political, and ideological independence of the Red Army. He also proposed that one of the three people, Zhang Ji, Song Ziwen, and Yu Youren, be selected as the chief of the border district government, and also proposed that after the reorganization of the Red Army, Zhu Daizhen should be the commander.

It can be said that the Red Party's proposal this time is very sincere, and it has completely abandoned it in party politics, and only retains the right to make suggestions without the right to decide or veto. At the same time, the leadership of the government of the border region was abandoned, and only the leadership of the army was retained. If the White Party agrees and operates well, it is very likely that the Red Party, like other forces, will slowly die out, after all, an army without the financial support of the regime cannot grow and grow.

However, Chiang had not yet received news of Japan's sudden drastic moves, so he still thought that the Sino-Japanese war was still a year or two, and he was not in a hurry to end negotiations with the Red Party. As a result, Zhou Guansheng's proposal was finally rejected and proposed to set up a political training office within the Red Army to be responsible for commanding the troops. This is to make the Red Party give up completely in the three aspects of the party, government and army, and such conditions make everyone in Yan'an feel a little cool.

In the conference room, smoke was filled, and everyone was arguing fiercely, nothing more than arguing about how to face the white party.

Peng Dehuai has a fiery temper, he will say whatever he wants, and said with a straight face: "He, Chairman Jiang, is going to exterminate us, where is he going to negotiate peace with us?" According to his method, we simply tied ourselves up to Nanjing. ”

Ren Bishi shook his head and said, "Don't be angry, think of a way, I think they think we are very difficult, and now without the funding of the Northeast Army, even if we are trapped, we can be trapped to death." This is to roast us on a charcoal fire and slowly concoct it. ”

Speaking of this, Ren Bishi looked back at Chairman Mao and said, "Lao Mao, speaking of which, we have to thank the overseas Chinese for giving us so many mechanical materials." ”

Chairman Mao and Mr. Zhu glanced at each other, and then looked at Zhang Teli, who was sitting on the side and had not spoken, Zhang Teli was forced to cancel the Second Central Committee due to the order of the Red Party International, but he had been secretly dissatisfied with Mao Yongzhi and others in his heart.

Chairman Mao thought about it for a while, thinking that although Zhang Teli was dissatisfied with himself, he was one of the founders of the Red Party after all, and it would be difficult for him to hide it, anyway, as long as he could protect Jiang Cheng's true identity.

Chairman Mao was just about to speak, when a guard knocked on the door outside.

Lin Boqu opened the door and said angrily, "What's the matter?" Don't know what's going on? Why is there so little organizational discipline? ”

That guard was Chairman Mao's personal guard Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang's tears of being scolded came out, and he looked at Chairman Mao pitifully.

Chairman Mao knew at a glance that something had happened to Bacheng, and said directly, "Say, what's the matter." ”

Xiao Wang said embarrassedly: "There's a letter from there." And he spoke no more. Chairman Mao immediately understood what was going on, and immediately said happily, "Let him come over, everyone, Comrade Gu Quan is back." ”

The people present looked at each other, not knowing who this Gu Quan was.

Chairman Mao said, "It's the overseas Chinese who came last time, didn't they read the list of supplies he brought last time." How? You can't turn your face and deny people. ”

He Long hurriedly said, "Who will disown him, let him come, I He Huzi thank him well, thank him, I have eaten his sausages in the past few days." ”

The crowd laughed when they heard this, and even said yes.

Jiang Cheng was chatting with Ba Shun outside the warehouse, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but be happy when he knew that Huang Biao and Situ Jin had arrived in Yan'an, but now he was still helping to transport the machinery to various places and was not in Yan'an, so he didn't know if he could see it this time. Suddenly, Xiao Wang, who had a relationship with each other last time, ran over and said, "Chief Gu, the chairman asked you to come over." ”

Jiang Cheng and Xiao Wang came to the conference room, and as soon as they opened the door, they almost thought that this was a big smoke house, and the smoke in it was so bad that they could stand it.

Jiang Cheng got used to it for a while, went in and said, "Chairman, I'm back." ”

Chairman Mao stood up and pulled Jiang Cheng and said, "Last time there were few people, but this time most of the people have arrived." Let me introduce to you, this is the spokesperson of the overseas Chinese organization - Mr. Gu Quan, and the military uniforms, food, and machinery and facilities some time ago were all funded by Mr. Gu Quan. ”

When everyone heard it, okay, the super landlord is rich.

Mr. Zhu also stood up and said, "Comrade Gu Quan's identity is special, everyone should pay attention to confidentiality, and no one is allowed to inquire about the source of the materials, and Comrade Gu Quan is now also the secretary of our Secretariat, so as to facilitate walking around the party." ”

Nie Rongzhen, Li Kerong and others, who knew Jiang Cheng's identity, knew that this was the chairman's attempt to protect Jiang Cheng, so they didn't speak, but just applauded and responded.

Chairman Mao saw that the introduction was almost over, and he was reluctant to ask in front of so many people what materials had been transported this time, but continued to talk about the topic just now: "Everyone knows each other, Comrade Gu Quan, you can sit in the back and listen to it." If we continue to do so, the anti-Japanese united front has now basically been established, and the warlords of the Gui faction have also signed an agreement with us, and according to our accurate information, the Japanese invaders are about to blow the clarion call for a full-scale invasion of China in the north, and we must speed up our work. ”

Ren Bishi said, "If this is the case, we can only take one step back, and I suggest that we send a delegation to Lushan to negotiate with the White Party." ”

Mr. Zhu also said: "When it comes down to talking, our side should also speed up the reorganization and training of the troops, and the commanders and fighters at all levels will liquidate the personnel, weapons and ammunition after they go down." In addition, now that our supplies have been greatly improved due to the financial support of overseas Chinese, I propose to carry out a small expansion of the army to prepare for war. ”

In the end, the meeting decided to send Zhou Guansheng, Bogu, and Lin Boqu to Lushan to negotiate with Chiang Kai-shek, and the Red Army would expand its army by 10,000 troops, mainly absorbed in the militia. In addition, the establishment of the factory and the work of Beiping will be accelerated.

After the meeting, when I came to Chairman Mao's room, Chairman Mao and Mr. Zhu sat together and asked Jiang Cheng, "Little Jiang, nothing happened for so long this time, right?" What good things did they bring us? Jiang Cheng said gratefully, "Chairman, it's a good thing, I've already bought the arms over there in Hyundai, and I can ship them over in a week or so, and there are a lot of artillery." ”

Mr. Zhu said happily, "Great, I'm looking forward to this future weapon." ”

Jiang Cheng said, "Although it is the future, it is not the most advanced, after all, our logistics are not good, too good weapons are too much pressure on logistics, by the way, I heard Ba Shun say that our machinery and equipment are coming?" ”

Chairman Mao said this, his eyes lit up and said, "Thank you for this, this time there are a lot of mining equipment and smelting equipment, we have begun to build steel plants, ash plants, chemical plants, and most importantly, our oil factories have developed greatly, and the oil factories over there are said to be able to produce normally again with the help of the newly arrived American technicians, so that the chemical plants can operate, you know, I have dreamed several times that our Yan'an is shrouded in black smoke from the factory, how beautiful it should be." ”

In this era, China was too lacking in industry, and not only did it not think that industrial pollution was bad, but a large number of literati praised it, and in this era, environmental protection was still a joke.

Jiang Cheng also knew that this was not the time to talk about environmental issues, so he said, "Then we should pay attention to the air defense issue, the Japanese will not see that we do not act." ”

Chairman Mao nodded and said, "Yes, Xiao Jiang, do you have any good ideas?" ”

Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "We only have anti-aircraft machine guns, although I can also buy anti-aircraft guns, but the number is not too much, and it is not a matter of just being bombed." ”

Chairman Mao smoked a cigarette and said, "Yes, it's difficult." ”

Jiang Cheng thought of the later Ruomandy landing, and said, "Chairman, I said an immature opinion, do you think it is appropriate?" ”

Chairman Mao said, "You say. I'll listen. ”

Jiang Cheng replied, "We can't do this, pretend to be a maze, it is difficult for the Japanese to accurately distinguish the real and false factories in the sky, we can make some fake factories, wood equipment, and when the Japanese army comes, we will stop the real factory, the smoke will be extinguished, the fake factory will burn coal or something, let it ignite black smoke, tempt the Japanese army to misinterpret the location of the factory, and then we will ambush the air defense forces, give them a ruthless, so that after a few times, we will spread the news that we use the fake factory to hit real planes, and the Japanese will definitely not come again." ”

Mr. Zhu smiled and said, "Xiao Jiang's method can still be tried, anyway, there won't be much loss." ”

Chairman Mao also nodded and said, "You can give it a try, by the way, Xiao Jiang, what good things did you bring this time?" ”

Jiang Cheng replied, "Chairman, this time I brought a large number of military uniforms, helmets and other materials, as well as a lot of medicines and books. ”

Jiang Cheng took out a Chinese pinyin textbook in his bag, handed it to Chairman Mao and said, "Chairman, boss, you see, this is the original Chinese pinyin and simplified Chinese characters introduced after the fifties, first learn Chinese pinyin, and then learn simplified Chinese characters can greatly speed up the speed of literacy, and simplified characters are simple and easy to write, which plays a great role in solving the problem of illiteracy in our country." ”

Mr. Zhu and Chairman Mao read it carefully, although the content of the book was very simple and naïve, but both of them read it very seriously.

Mr. Zhu sighed: "This simplified Chinese character was originally implemented by the Nanjing White Party government, but the criticism was too loud and it was miscarried in the end, and it is a pity to think about it now." ”

Chairman Mao said with a smile, "If they don't do well, we will do it, I don't think there is anything bad about simplified Chinese." Originally, the text from the very beginning of the golden text to the later official script, italics, has been from complex to simple, this simplified Chinese character is the trend of the times, the people's desire. From this small point, we can see the difference between our two parties, and we hope that all the common people can be literate and learn knowledge. And those stinky old men of the White Party are afraid that we ordinary people will learn knowledge and oppose their rule. ”

Jiang Cheng said with a smile, "When it comes to this controversy between simplicity and complexity, it has existed until later generations, and later generations in the Taiwanese also made up a smooth slip, saying that after the simplification of Chinese characters, relatives are not seen, love is unintentional, production is not born, empty and empty, flour is not wheat, there is no car, there is no way, there is no head, there is no head, flying a single wing, there is no rain in the clouds, there is no door to open and close, there is no lang in the township, the saint can not listen and cannot speak, buy into a hook knife under the head, the wheel of the adult has a dagger, enter is not getting better and better and go to the well, but the devil is still the devil, the ghost is still the ghost, stealing or stealing, deceiving or cheating, greedy or greedy, Poison or poison, black or black, gambling or gambling. ”

Chairman Mao frowned and said, "Then we didn't fight back?" ”

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Although we are all one family in mainland Taiwan and Taiwan, the essence of this dispute between simplified and traditional Chinese is that some people in Taiwan are unwilling to reunify and want to divide us culturally and use simplified and traditional Chinese to split the motherland. Cars do not go to the fields, and they do not obey the courtiers. No deer can be beautiful, no witch can be spiritual, no water can be destroyed, no fire can be labored, no song can be ritualized, and no hands can be struck. It's not hard to do things, so why rely on jackals in the famine. There is no ghost in the heart, and it is not ugly, and people can make money by taking people as the foundation. When the day can be imprisoned in the mountain temple, the people can not be Xia Ji. Don't do daylight dreams, and don't use the amount of food in your hands. ”

Chairman Mao and Mr. Zhu laughed when they heard it. Chairman Mao said, "I am more and more looking forward to the implementation of simplified characters, Xiao Jiang, you are doing a good job, this simple Chinese pinyin and simplified characters, can make our nation get rid of ignorance as soon as possible, you must know that we have lagged behind the West for too many years, only by giving full play to the wisdom of the whole nation can we catch up with them in the shortest possible time, surpass them." However, you have a misunderstanding, this simplified Chinese character is not now or after the liberation of your history, the simplified Chinese character is from cursive, as early as the Han Dynasty, you still have to learn more about traditional culture. ”

Jiang Cheng understood how anxious Chairman Mao and other veteran revolutionary fighters of the Red Party were about the long-term poverty and backwardness of old China, and said with a smile: "That's right, so we should speed up the popularization of knowledge." ”

Jiang Cheng thought that many movements in later generations were also set off in such a mood, thinking of this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but say, "But where is the gap between us and the West, this is also an objective reality." ”

Chairman Mao pointed at Jiang Cheng and said with a smile: "You are worried that I am as anxious as history." Little slippery, okay, let's talk about your problem first, are you ready to join the party? ”

Jiang Cheng nodded solemnly and handed over the written application for joining the party to Chairman Mao.

Chairman Mao looked at Jiang Cheng's words, suddenly gasped, and forced himself to laugh, in the eyes of Chairman Mao, who has also achieved calligraphy, Jiang Cheng's words are no different from dog crawling.

Mr. Zhu shook his head and said, "Your later generations of science and technology have developed, this humanistic quality is not very good, you are still a college student, why are the words so ugly." Now I know why you give us prints every time. ”

Jiang Cheng blushed, but when he thought that this was just an opportunity, he hurriedly said, "Chairman, I know that the words of the leaders are good, why don't you give me some ink treasures, and I will also take the time to copy one or two." ”

Chairman Mao took a puff of cigarette and said, "Yes, I think I have to catch your words, otherwise if you sign it to others in the future, others will think that our Red Party cadres are all like this." ”

Saying that, Chairman Mao became serious again and said, "I think your application should be in simplified Chinese, it is indeed much simpler than what we use now. ”

Jiang Cheng took out another dictionary and said, "This is the dictionary of later generations, and the chairman can let everyone rely on this promotion." ”

Mr. Zhu took it, looked at it, nodded constantly, and said, "Then let's do it, tomorrow I will have a special meeting to let you join the party, and I, Mr. Zhu and Vice Chairman Zhou will be your introducers to join the party." ”

The next day, Jiang Cheng was taken to a room, and Zhou Guansheng, who had not seen him for a long time, also rushed back from Xi'an overnight, with a party flag hanging on the wall, Chairman Mao and Mr. Zhu showed Zhou Guansheng the dictionary on the side, and the three of them burst into laughter from time to time.

Seeing Jiang Cheng coming, Zhou Guansheng beckoned and said, "Come on, congratulations on becoming one of us." ”

Jiang Cheng smiled: "I never dreamed that I would become a party member in this era." ”

Due to the secrecy of Jiang Cheng's identity, Jiang Cheng's joining ceremony was only attended by these four people, Chairman Mao as the oath taker taught Jiang Cheng the oath he made when he joined the party, I have to say that every era may have its own soul, Jiang Cheng has also seen others join the party in the unit before, but at that time I didn't feel it at all, I just felt that it was just a ceremony, and in this era, following Chairman Mao's oath one by one, looking at the eyes of Mr. Zhu and Zhou Guansheng next to him, Jiang Cheng thought about the countless scenes he saw in the Republic of China, Thinking of the Japanese army that was about to invade China in the north, thinking of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation that was still persisting in resisting Japan between the white mountains and black waters, thinking of the countless helpless peasants, thinking of the suffering that China had suffered in the past hundred years, thinking of the heroic style of the Han and Tang dynasties in the past, and thinking of the gap between China and the West now, Jiang Cheng only felt that the responsibility on his body was extremely heavy. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, I have such a special ability, and slowly blend with this era, I must be worthy of such an opportunity.

In order to keep it as a souvenir, Jiang Cheng also asked Zhou Guansheng to use his mobile phone to completely record this scene, and after filming, everyone watched the video, Chairman Mao and others were once again amazed by the technology of the later generations, and they also hoped that the people of this era could live the life of the future generations soon.

After Jiang Cheng solved everything, he was about to take Xi'an to Shanghai, and was about to take a military vehicle to Xi'an, when suddenly two fierce horses galloped over, Jiang Cheng saw that it was Huang Biao and Ba Shun.

The two of them shouted from afar, "Boss, wait for me, Boss~~"

Jiang Cheng saw the two of you chasing me, and when they arrived in front of Jiang Cheng, they dismounted together, tore together, and argued in their mouths, "It's my turn this time, Huang Biao, you've been out for so long, it's time for you to guard the warehouse." "What to say, I have experience, I can better protect the owner." "I'm the captain, you have to listen to me." "I listen to the owner."

Jiang Cheng saw that the crowd was gradually surrounding him, and said angrily, "You guys are enough, what's the situation." Bhashun, you speak first. ”

The two parted at this time, and Ba Shun said, "Boss, it's too dangerous for you to go on the road alone, so I'll accompany you." Anyway, Huang Biao is also back, just enough to let him replace me. ”

Huang Biao hurriedly said, "Boss, let me accompany you on the road, I have experience." ”

Ba Shun said angrily: "Am I inexperienced? ”

Jiang Cheng shook his head and shouted, "Okay, if you are really not at ease, this time Ba Shun and I will go, Huang Biao, you continue to cooperate with Situ Jin to appease overseas Chinese and technicians from the United States, Situ Jin is also a person who has not returned to China much, you can coordinate here." ”

Ba Shun looked at Huang Biao angrily, and Huang Biao nodded helplessly and did not speak.

Jiang Cheng and Ba Shun ran all the way back to Shanghai, and did not contact Yu Qiaqing and others, but returned directly to the warehouse, Jiang Cheng set the new time and space point in the warehouse, at this time Wang Yong and Li Qian just came back with a team of people from the security team, followed by many men.

When the two saw Jiang Cheng, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Jiang Cheng pointed to the people behind him and said, "Are these all newly recruited team members?" ”

Wang Yong nodded and smiled, "Yes, but we haven't recruited yet, we are ready to use the old to bring the new to speed up the training." ”

Jiang Cheng nodded, turned around and said, "This is my security team captain Ba Shun, Ba Shun, and I will cooperate well with Wang Yong and Li Qian in the future, these two are our instructors." ”

Ba Shun saw that Wang Yong was tall and strong, and when he saw Li Qian's thin and small, he couldn't help but say, "Why is this little brother so thin?" It's like a. ”

Li Qian gasped when she heard this, her eyes widened and she shouted, "I'm a woman!! ”

It turned out that Li Qian was wearing a helmet. Wearing a military uniform, it's no wonder that Ba Shun didn't recognize it at once.

Ba Shun took a step back and whispered in Jiang Cheng's ear, "Dongjia, it's not appropriate to find a female instructor here." ”

Jiang Cheng smiled: "You go down and compete with her." ”

Li Qian threw away her helmet, flicked her high ponytail around, waved her hand at Ba Shun and said, "Come on." ”

Ba Shun shook his head, sighed and said, "Okay, I'll teach you." ”

After saying that, Ba Shun pounced on Li Qian with a fierce tiger, and then flew back at a faster speed.

Li Qian withdrew her raised legs and said with a smile: "The chassis is floating and vulnerable." ”

Jiang Cheng clapped his hands and smiled, "Ba Shun, you have met a master, our Li Qian is Han Muxia's apprentice, you should learn more." ”

When Li Qian heard this, she couldn't help but blush a little embarrassed.

After Jiang Cheng let everyone train with peace of mind, he had a meal with the new team members, chatted with everyone until midnight, and learned the Red Party's grievance meeting. Constantly leading the resentment of these displaced Northeast men to the chaotic situation in China, the weak central government and the Japanese army, Jiang Cheng finally said, "Train well, and one day, our Chinese army will fight back, and when the time comes, everyone will inevitably contribute." ”
