Four

Liang Daya's long life cultivation began from then on.

In the days that followed, Liang Daya really restrained a lot. There is less scolding, less swearing, Yue Xiuying, the female head of the second district, came to deliver military shoes, and he is no longer dissatisfied with the yard and screwing people's butts.

The words were much less, and they became much deeper, and they also held the pamphlet "On the Tactical Problems of Guerrilla Warfare" like a book from heaven all day long, and nodded and went to ask Dongfang Wenyin to teach them to recognize words. Learning culture is a painstaking and sad thing, but learning culture with Dongfang Wenyin is a happy thing. At first, I only learned to read and write, and then I memorized what I did in the morning, what I did at noon, and what I did at night. After that, I memorized the battle and wrote my own opinions, and gradually I had a little thought in it.

What surprised Dongfang even more was Liang Daya's strange way of comprehending the spirit of his superiors. On the day Liang Daya took the oath of joining the party, Yang Tinghui gave him another booklet, which was the decision of his superiors on his current tasks. After coming back, he tinkered with himself for a long time, but there were still many words that he couldn't recognize, so he went to Dongfang Wenyin. Dongfang Wenyin read it first: "...... It should be noted that the war against Japanese imperialism is an arduous and protracted war, and in order to defeat the enemy, it is necessary to prepare for a protracted war. The basic task of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army is to persist in independent guerrilla warfare, conduct mobile warfare under favorable conditions, cooperate with friendly forces, create anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines, and preserve and expand their own strength......"

After Dongfang Wenyin finished reading, Liang Daya didn't say anything for a long time, asked Dongfang Wenyin to read it again, and then asked: "Cooperate with friendly forces, who does this friendly army refer to?" ”

Dongfang Wenyin thought for a while and said: "It should be all the anti-Japanese armies except for the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, but the main one may be the Kuomintang army." ”

Liang Daya asked again: "What are the favorable conditions?" ”

Dongfang Wenyin said: "Of course, it is a condition that can guarantee victory in the war. ”

Liang Daya slapped his ass and said, "I understand, I know what my mission is for." In the past, we fought with brute strength and did not use our brains. Commander Yang taught me two words, save yourself and destroy the enemy, I have not thought through it in the past, I thought it was two tasks, and the two tasks were equally important. Now that I understand it thoroughly, these two sentences are actually the same thing, saving oneself is the first thing, and only by preserving oneself first can we talk about destroying the enemy. Therefore, in the future, we can't fight blindly, we can't fight what we should fight, we can't fight what we can't fight, and we have to fight what we can't fight. ”

Dongfang Wenyin pondered carefully, the words were not coarse, this Liang Daya is really not simple.

In previous meetings, Liang Daya never had stage fright, stood on the stage with a big grin, rolled up his sleeves and opened his mouth, elegant and vulgar, coarse and thin porridge, conveyed the instructions of the military region, and could convey more than a dozen eggs and bird feather ashes. But now it's not so calm, every time before the meeting, you have to prepare carefully, after speaking, I also privately look for Dongfang Wenyin, listen to her evaluation with sincere fear, listen to her encouragement and listen to her criticism - this is another important change for Liang Daya.

Also, since he had a little culture, Liang Daya thought he was an intellectual, and asked people to get a brush and a few inkstones from the partition to practice calligraphy. On the first day, holding a brush, Liang Daya didn't write anything else, and practiced the words "Dongfang Wenyin" alone.

Liang Daya said: "That's good, if you don't write about you, just write about me, and if I write, I don't want to be like you, but like me." ”

So I wrote "I", stroke by stroke, clumsy and clumsy, like an irregularly arranged dry wood stick, stretching out his arms and legs. What especially makes Dongfang Wenyin can't help but laugh is that Liang Daya does not come in the order of strokes, not like apostrophe, not like mention, some are written upside down from bottom to top, and some are written from right to left.

Dongfang Wenyin said: "Liang Daya, Liang Daya, you are just different from others, you know how to talk about strokes with a fountain pen, why do you forget it with a brush?" ”

Liang Daya said: "Killing pigs and buttocks, everyone has their own way to kill." It's easy to write like this. ”

Dongfang Wenyin said solemnly: "No, you must resolutely change it." ”

Liang Daya was obedient, so he resolutely changed it and learned to follow the order of strokes.

The old problem was solved, and the new problem appeared again, the word "I" was tossed under his hand, and it was split in the chest, at first glance, the left side was a "hand" word, and the right side was a "Ge" word, leaving a large gap in the middle. Dongfang Wenyin said: "Hey, you Liang Daya really has aura, what do you see you wrote?" A 'hand' word plus a 'Ge', your hand holding a Ge, is a 'I' word. ”

Liang thought about it with a grin, was happy, and said, "That's right, what am I?" I am the Eighth Route Army, and I am a man of war. Isn't the one who fights the war the one who holds the go? Don't criticize this, my 'I' is just that. ”

Dongfang Wenyin said, "That's not good. You have to hold the 'Ge' tightly with your hands, your 'hands' are just a few miles away from the 'Ge', how can you fight? ”

Liang Daya scratched his scalp and said, "That makes sense. You're right, we'll listen to you. ”

So he changed it again, connecting the "hand" and "Ge" together, but it was too tight, like hugging it tightly.

This time, Dongfang Wenyin didn't correct it anymore, let him go. Unexpectedly, this laid the foundation for Liang's "calligraphy style" - the strokes are compact, the fonts are slender, and gradually form a single body in the years to come - "Liang style". That's for another time.

With a little culture, and can write a few brush words, Liang Daya is even more vigorous, even Zhu Yidao and Qu Crooked Mouth and others are a little disdainful, often criticize them for "not using their brains, no culture", he is "culture" like a teacher, with a little culture, he hurriedly wanted to come in handy, even scared and discussed, and simply changed the names of several squadron leaders.

Captain Liang wants to change everyone's name, and his crooked mouth will naturally bear the brunt. Liang Daya has long been dissatisfied with his name, what crooked mouth? The comrades of the Divisional Organization Section came to make a roster for everyone, and when they heard that there was a squadron leader named Qu Crooked Mouth, they felt very embarrassed, can such a name be on the roster?

Liang Daya said to Qu Crooked Mouth: "I'll give you a name, which is better than Crooked Mouth, and it doesn't damage the feng shui of the ancestors." Your mouth is crooked to the left, we China, the left is big, the right is small, the left is yang, the right is yin, the left is dry, the right is Kun, I think you are called Qu Xiangqian, there are all the blessings in this name, if you become a provincial governor or something in the future, it will be the light of this name. ”

Qu Crooked Mouth may not understand Liang Daya's nonsense words, but there is one thing he understands, Qu Xiangqian's name is better than Qu Crooked Mouth, there is no doubt about it, so he gladly accepted it and said: "Then I will be called Qu Xiangqian." But captain, I think you have to change the name of the bird, what kind of name is Liang Daya? I think it will be changed to Liang Mancang, it is auspicious, and there will be no hunger in drought and flood. ”

Liang Daya glared and said, "Presumptuous! Did you change the captain's name casually? My name is different from yours, my name is particular. If you want to change, you have to change it by a master, and you have to ask someone from the university to change it, and you don't have this qualification yet. ”

Comrade Qu Xiangqian crooked his mouth, blinked his eyes, and stopped talking.

The second person to be renamed was Zhu Yidao, Liang Daya said to Zhu Yidao undeniably: "Look at your name, what kind of play, what kind of knives and two knives, it's all fucking strange." Changed it, the word changed to the same pronunciation, changed to Zhu Pre-Dao, and prepared to embark on the glorious road of victory against Japan. ”

Zhu Yidao scratched his scalp, feeling that Liang Daya's words seemed to make some sense, no matter what, Zhu Yidao's name was more elegant than Zhu Yidao. Besides, Liang Daya had already spoken, and the name had to be changed if he agreed or disagreed, so he made a personal favor along the way. Zhu Yidao then changed his name to Zhu Pre-Dao.

Now Liang Daya likes to hold meetings very much. Before the meeting, I first sketched a few hyphens and circles on the cigarette box paper -- the first was about eating porridge, the second was about the gun misfired, the third was about Comrade Li Erdan's capture of prisoners, and the fourth was about taking a bath to avoid women. The score is clear, and then find a place to carry people, or by the river, or behind the house, and sometimes in the woods, alone, facing the grass and purple trees, the eyebrows on the face are dancing, the gesture is vigorous, the mouth is full of words, and the head of the conversation is the way.

After a few months, even Yang Tinghui was impressed by the meeting of the sub-district, saying that this Comrade Liang Daya was really a caring person, and among these workers and peasants in the Bumpshan sub-district, he made the fastest progress.

Yang Tinghui is very happy for his discernment, and he is also glad that he was able to stand on his long-term strength and not kill Liang Daya at a dangerous moment, and at the same time, he is even more proud of his superb employment methods.

At the beginning, when Dongfang Wenyin was sent to Chenbu County, Yang Tinghui's heart was not as casual as his face showed, in fact, he was sweating. It can't but be said to be a risky move, and Yang Tinghui was still undoubtedly going to the pawn at that time, which can be said to show a kind of wisdom and courage, and that move penetrated his profound philosophical thinking. He admired the way of employing people of Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty. He believes that the way of employing people is the highest philosophy among all philosophies. The greatest ability of the Communist Party is to be able to employ people. Practice proved that he had made the right move. Although Dongfang Wenyin is young, lacks practical work experience, and is even very naΓ―ve, I am afraid that it is still not good to do other work, but Dongfang Wenyin happens to be able to restrain Liang Daya, under the circumstances at that time, Dongfang Wenyin is the only person who can deal with Liang Daya, which is called overcoming rigidity with softness, grinding hard with softness, tofu with brine, and dropping one thing with one thing. Otherwise, even if a veteran political cadre like Zhang Pujing was sent to Chenbu County to partner with Liang Daya, it would never be possible to have such a good situation as it is now. That comrade believed in the motive at every turn, and admitted the reason of death, if the rectification went too far, maybe it was really possible to get Liang Daya to the other side of the mountain.

However, not everyone can understand Yang Tinghui's various far-sightedness.
