Since falling out with Li Yunlong, Ma Tiansheng has strengthened his ties with Beijing. In fact, with his status, if he wants to directly contact the central "**" group, his qualifications are still poor. There are so many things that those hot big people need to think about, where will they put an ordinary military cadre in their eyes? Ma Tiansheng still has this self-knowledge, and on the other end of his hotline is a newly rising head of the military's political department, who is his old superior, and has been promoting and reusing Ma Tiansheng for many years. At that time, this chief was inextricably linked with the central "**" group, and his status was as high as the sky.

Ma Tiansheng reported to the veteran leaders on the progress of the movement in the city, especially on the issue of Li Yunlong. He believes that the biggest obstacle to the city's "**" movement is Li Yunlong, who has relied on his old qualifications and some military exploits, and has always adopted the means of acting in defiance of the strategic arrangements of the central "**" group; this kind of person still has a certain market within the party and the army, and represents a considerable number of high-ranking cadres, who have always been resistant to the "Cultural Revolution."

The chief on the other end of the hotline listened to Ma Tiansheng's report and seemed very interested, and pondered for a long time before saying: "I have heard of Li Yunlong, I remember that he seems to be subordinate to the 129th Division during the Anti-Japanese War, do you have his information in your hand?" Whose man is he? Which hill is it? Let me tell you, the struggle of the central authorities is very fierce now, and the victory or defeat has not yet been decided. In this regard, you should pay special attention to the fact that although the party has been shouting against mountaineering for decades, it is a fact that the mountainhead does exist. After decades of armed struggle, can there be no mountains? From 1927 to 1929, the Party carried out hundreds of armed uprisings in different regions. The 1st, 2nd, and 4th Front Armies of the Red Army period, plus the Red 25th Army and the Red 26th Army, the 115th, 120th, and 129th divisions and the New Fourth Army during the Anti-Japanese War, the Shanxi Death Squad, the Dongjiang Column in Guangdong, the Qiongya Column in Hainan Island, and the four major field armies during the War of Liberation, which is not a mountain? It is very important for you to check which mountain Li Yunlong belongs to, because the struggle within the party has always been like this, and the personnel and organizational relations are intertwined, and if you do not find out the situation clearly, you will get yourself into it if you do not get it right. ”

The old chief's rich experience in struggle made Ma Tiansheng admire him so much, and the kind of political struggle experience of judging the hour and sizing up the situation and smashing up the situation in both vertical and horizontal ways could not be obtained without decades of tempering, and Ma Tiansheng felt that he was far behind.

Li Yunlong's resume is clearly there, and after careful study, Ma Tiansheng found that Li Yunlong's situation is quite special, he is not a mountain, and he is inextricably linked to any mountain. Before the Long March, he belonged to the Fourth Front Army, and after the First and Fourth Front Armies met, Zhang Guotao and the Central Red Army led the Fourth Front Army to turn around and cross the grassland, but it happened that Li Yunlong's regiment did not receive an order, because the herald accidentally fell into the swamp and drowned on the way to the order. Li Yunlong woke up and found that the four front armies were gone, and he wondered for a long time. Where did he know about the struggle in the top echelons of the party, he thought very simply, where was he not going to work in the Red Army? It's the same with anyone. It just so happened that his team was stationed very close to Lin Biao's first corps, so Li Yunlong took the initiative to come to the door and ask to be incorporated into the first corps. Therefore, this intra-party struggle made Li Yunlong become Lin Biao's subordinate. After the Long March to northern Shaanxi, Zhang Guotao broke away from the Communist Party in 1938, and the cadres from the four front armies were all rectified to varying degrees, but Li Yunlong was fine, he belonged to the first army of the big red and purple, who dared to fight his idea?

In the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the three divisions of the Eighth Route Army had only more than 30,000 people on the roster of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, and only 30,000 people were paid for food, ammunition, and ammunition, while the Eighth Route Army actually numbered 80,000. As a result, a number of independent regiments were established, and Li Yunlong's independent regiment also became a "black household" that was not recognized by the Nationalist Government. It was first assigned to Liu Bocheng of the 129th Division, and then to Chen Geng of the 386th Brigade. In the end, he simply carved out a piece of land in the northwest of Shanxi and became a single household. At the beginning of the Liberation War, Li Yunlong's regiment was the main force of Liu Deng's Central Plains Field Army, participated in the Central Plains Breakout, and leaped thousands of miles into Dabie Mountain. Before the Huaihai Campaign, Li Yunlong's troops cooperated with Huaye to send reinforcements, but after completing the task, they were not allowed to return to the building, General Su Yu and Liu Bocheng did not know what kind of deal they made, and Li Yunlong's troops were incorporated into the 11th column of Huaye in a daze. At the beginning of 1949, the whole army was reorganized, and Li Yunlong's department was subordinated to the Sanye A Corps. In this way, which mountain does Li Yunlong belong to? Lin Biao, Liu Bocheng, Deng Xiaoping, Chen Yi, Su Yu, Chen Geng, these marshals and generals all served as his bosses, and even the First Field Army, which could not be beaten by eight poles, also had a little relationship with him, because part of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the old army during the Anti-Japanese War participated in a series of battles to defend Yan'an during the War of Liberation, and later became a main division of Yiye, and the predecessor of a main force regiment of this division was a battalion of Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment. In this way, Li Yunlong and the four major field armies can have some relationship.

The experience of political struggle tells Ma Tiansheng that it is not difficult to overthrow a marshal or a general, because their status is too high, too close to the political whirlpool, and they are doomed to catastrophe at the slightest disturbance. However, generals like Li Yunlong are different; because of his complicated experience, his relations within the army are intertwined, and his old comrades-in-arms at different times constitute the backbone of this army; these generals are either commanders of field armies or commanders of provincial military districts; although their official positions are not very large, they are all powerful figures who hold military power, and they are far away from the political struggle between the top leaders, and it is not easy to find political excuses for overthrowing such generals, and it is easy to cause instability in the army.

Ma Tiansheng believes that the conflict between him and Li Yunlong is not due to personal grudges, but mainly due to the divergent political views between the two. The purpose of the "Cultural Revolution" was personally initiated and directed by Mao **, and its purpose was to prevent revisionism from usurping the leadership of the party and the state, to keep the leadership in the hands of the proletariat, and to make the red country never change its color. However, Li Yunlong's performance aroused Ma Tiansheng's political vigilance, and he intuitively felt that Li Yunlong had deep prejudices and antipathy to the mass movement of the "Cultural Revolution," and seemed to be deliberately working against the "Cultural Revolution" movement in his views and actions. This person doesn't look at the level of education is not high, but the city government is very deep, and he likes to do practical things and doesn't like to talk too much. Ma Tiansheng thought, what practical things did he do? From the analysis of his character, he is not a person who is willing to be lonely, and the city is like this, will he turn a blind eye? Du Changhai died very strangely, Ma Tiansheng was not a fool, he didn't believe that the mysterious killer was from the "Jinggangshan Corps". The work is done cleanly and professionally. Ma Tiansheng naturally thought of the mysterious special detachment, if there is conclusive evidence that Du Changhai's death is related to this special detachment, there is an article to do.

The chief on the other end of the hotline listened to Ma Tiansheng's report and uncharacteristically did not squeak, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, the chief said: "It seems that it is beneficial to investigate, know each other and know yourself." This Li Yunlong is not a mountain, and he is connected with any mountain, this is not a person who can be easily moved, if he doesn't rush to anything else, he has done this in the First Army, he has a protective umbrella on his head, Mr. Lin's old subordinates, who can touch it? Unless you can come up with good evidence to prove that he is fighting against the "**" movement. You have to pay close attention to the fact that with this person's character, sooner or later he will have to do something. You should know that whoever wants to fight against the "**" movement, no matter how old his qualifications are and how much credit he has, he will not end well. Ma Tiansheng hung up the phone silently, thinking to himself, whoever has the last laugh will laugh the best.

In February 1967, several deputy leaders and marshals of the Central Military Commission and several senior leaders of the Politburo, in order to maintain the stability of the army, expressed their dissatisfaction with the "Cultural Revolution" movement. This incident angered Mao **, he summoned several Politburo members to the study, his face was gloomy, and he said in a stern tone: "After all, it is not subject to people's will, in the end, there are still people who jump out and openly oppose the 'Cultural Revolution'......" Mao ** said emotionally, "What is the result?" Take ***, *** to shoot, hang **, Lin Biao and I will go to Jinggangshan to fight guerrillas! Leave Beijing to them? "Mao **, who was at the pinnacle of power, moved the wrath of thunder, and let you be a battle-hardened marshal and a meritorious founding general, you were silent, and disappeared from the political arena. In the vast territory, the political storm has arisen again, countering the "February countercurrent" and the line of Liu Deng with guns. These slogans became the main theme of China at this time. The whole country is attacking the armed forces, all the eight major military regions have been impacted, 80 percent of the units above the military sub-district level have been impacted, and 70 percent of the responsible persons of the armed forces at all levels have been beaten, resulting in the interruption of military communications, the loss of command control, and the paralysis of the three major general departments and the headquarters of various armies and arms in Beijing.

During this period, Li Yunlong received a series of phone calls from his old comrades-in-arms working at various headquarters in Beijing, and they all advised Li Yunlong to be prepared to deal with greater troubles. As for why it has become the way it is, no one can say clearly, but they all say that the general feeling is that the Kuomintang has fought back, and anyway, the older the cadres and the greater the merits, the more unlucky they will be. Out of good intentions, the old guys all said to Li Yunlong: "Your kid has a bad temper, and the hard top will suffer, and if you can handle some things, you can deal with them, and if you can't deal with them, you just find a place to hide." ”

Li Yunlong said: ", it's not easy to hide? Any old comrade-in-arms can squeeze out a piece of space for me in the cabbage cellar, but Lao Tzu didn't do anything harmful, why should he hide like a mouse? Isn't that a deserter? What about my troops? You can figure it out, Lao Tzu will not change his name, sit or change his surname, and see what they can do with Lao Tzu. ”

After all, scolding and scolding, Li Yunlong also saw that the situation was getting more and more tense. According to Secretary Zheng's report, 80 percent of the big-character posters on the street were directed at him, and many of his titles were sealed. "The big warlord", "The careerist hidden in the army", "The agent of Liu Deng's route in our city", "Hanging Li Yunlong", "Frying Li Yunlong", and "Down with the big traitor Li Yunlong", made Li Yunlong cry and laugh, damn, Lao Tzu has never been captured, where to rebel?

Once things get too evil, someone has to come out and end it. Li Yunlong finally received a written notice from the Central Military Commission, which contained eight articles, referred to as the "Eight Articles of the Central Military Commission." Li Yunlong excitedly said to Secretary Zheng: "Now it's good, the Central Military Commission has a clear instruction, you see: resolutely take dictatorial measures against those counterrevolutionary organizations and counter-revolutionary elements with conclusive evidence, and deal with the issue of attacking the military leadership organs...... If it is a counter-revolutionary impact, it must be investigated...... No impact will be allowed in the future. Xiao Zheng, you see, Mao **'s instructions on this: Determine eight, very good, send it. Now it's okay, with the ** Shang Fang Sword, whoever makes trouble again will do it according to the 'Eight Articles of the Military Commission'. ”

Secretary Zheng propped up his glasses and said suspiciously: "No. 1, the essentials of these eight articles are too vague, for example: if it is a counter-revolutionary impact, it must be investigated." Who is the counter-revolutionary? How can you tell? Do we have the right to judge? To be honest, the counter-revolutionaries really don't have time to hide, and they still have the courage to attack the military organs? On the other hand, is it not a counter-revolution that can impact the military apparatus? Also, what does it mean to 'be held accountable'? If you don't stop it first, let him attack? Investigate after the rush, and if it is a counter-revolutionary, it will be investigated? How? Is it to be investigated by force, or is it to be condemned verbally? In addition, 'no impact will be allowed in the future,' which is tantamount to not saying, and who does not know that military organs are not allowed to attack? The point is what if someone insists on impacting? Can you shoot in self-defense? Can troops be sent to fight back? No one told you. No. 1, with all due respect, let's really follow these eight rules, and if we don't make trouble, we will fall into the trap set by someone who doesn't know, please think twice. ”

Li Yunlong thought about it and felt that Zheng Bo's words made sense, he smiled bitterly and didn't say anything.

Secretary Zheng made a good estimate, the "Eight Articles of the Military Commission" did not stop the frenzy of storming the military organs, but intensified, and I did not see any troops to "investigate" it, because the document stipulates that only "counter-revolutionaries" can be "investigated", who can say that those mass organizations that responded to Mao's call to rebel are counter-revolutionaries?

The special detachment has been withdrawn to the barracks by Li Yunlong, and the team members, under the command of Duan Peng and Lin Han, tidy up the vegetable garden every day in addition to training. The withdrawal of the special detachment has deprived Li Yunlong of the source of intelligence, what actions are these lawless rebels brewing? Where do you plan to start first? Li Yunlong didn't know anything, even so, he didn't plan to use the special detachment, he didn't want someone to use this as an excuse to destroy this elite detachment in the future. The general who lost the source of intelligence was in pain, his eyes were black, he became blind and deaf, and he was dazed in the face of his scheming opponent, so he could only passively curl up, waiting for the opponent to slam at his deadliest place, Li Yunlong felt a pain that he had never felt before.

Zou Ming, the No. 1 orderly of the "Jinggangshan Corps", has been very excited recently. The unexpected death of his nemesis, Du Changhai, has brought the "Red Revolutionary Federation" to a crumble, and its organization has become divided into a state of confusion over the struggle for leadership. It seems that the day is not far off when the "Red Revolutionary Union" will be swept away in one fell swoop. What excited him the most was that the liaison officer he sent to Beijing was received in Beijing by the heads of the "**" group of the Central Committee, who fully affirmed the revolutionary nature of the "Jinggangshan Corps" and that it was a revolutionary leftist organization, and that its general direction was correct, and that although in the course of the revolution, this organization had shortcomings and mistakes of one kind or another, but these were all non-mainstream things, and in general, this organization was revolutionary.

When Zou Ming and his comrades-in-arms heard this exciting news, they couldn't help but have mixed feelings in their hearts, and turned to tears, just like a long-lost child who met his mother, everyone burst into tears, crying, laughing, jumping, hugging, shouting slogans such as long live Mao ** and long live the proletarian "Cultural Revolution" to dry their mouths, I don't know who choked up and sang the lyrical song with a great sense of the times:

Looking up at the Big Dipper,

I miss Mao** in my heart,

When you get lost, I want you to have direction,

I miss you in the night

…………

They are sincere, and no one doubts their sincerity. But fate likes to play tricks on people. At the same time, the fighters of the "Red Revolutionary Union" were also singing the same song with tears in their eyes and with great sincerity...... Because the liaison officer of the "Red Revolutionary Federation" in Beijing also brought back the same exciting news, the leaders of the "**" group of the Central Committee also affirmed the revolutionary nature of this organization in the same language......

Do the heads of the central "**" group have a bit of a preference for the golden mean? The years and the mud are dangerous.

Isn't it? The vast number of fighters of the two factions of "Jinggangshan" and "Red Revolutionary Federation" all announced to Mao **** that they would defend Mao's revolutionary line with the guns in their hands and swear to defend the victorious achievements of the proletarian "Cultural Revolution" to the death......
