When Li Wenbin first heard the news that Liang Daya was going to be the commander of the division, he wondered if he had heard it wrong, and he suspected that Dou Yuquan was playing tricks on him. He sat on the bamboo chair opposite Dou Yuquan, drinking the big leaf camellia sent by the landlord, which was tasteless.

But Dou Yuquan's stern and heavy expression clearly proved that this was true.

Li Wenbin has noticeably lost a lot of weight, and the young revolutionary fighter has been exhausted in recent years, and the complex struggle has almost exhausted his passion, and the internal movement has often led him to fall into passivity and confusion after the passion has passed. In the last "Purity Movement", he had a short period of glory, and he even sent Liang Daya, a figure who covered the sky with one hand, to the secret "Reform Institute", if he was firm, according to Dou Yuquan's hints, Liang Daya would probably have already flown out of the sky.

But then he found that without Liang Daya, he was still unable to control the armed struggle in Chenbu County. What he did not expect was that the movement came and went in a hurry, and Jiang Gubei, Dou Yuquan, Zhang Pujing and others were criticized and dealt with one after another, and his situation in Chenbu County became more delicate from then on.

The strange thing is that Liang Daya did not get angry with him because of this, but changed his rudeness in the past, became polite to him, humbly exchanged views with him, and expressed his understanding and forgiveness for his mistakes and excesses in the movement, and in front of other cadres of the county brigade, he sincerely called on everyone to do a good job of unity regardless of previous suspicions, and also added a guard and six cadres of the Armed Forces Committee to him to ensure Secretary Li's safety.

But...... The more Liang Daya did this, the more uneasy Li Wenbin's heart became. Liang Daya's magnanimity brought him comfort, but it also deeply stung his self-esteem. In contrast, Liang Daya really looks like an orthodox well-educated professional revolutionary, while he, Li Wenbin, has become a villain who opposes revolutionary persecution of comrades, a pitiful worm who is forgiven and cared for by others. The more polite Liang Daya was to him, the more he felt that the comrades looked at him a little abnormally, so his heart often overflowed with an indescribable bitterness, and the heavy humiliation was like a lingering ghost, flying in his heart from time to time.

Now, Liang Daya has been promoted again, and he is actually going to become the commander of the Bump Mountain Division, which is undoubtedly not pleasant news for Li Wenbin.

After listening to the news revealed by Dou Yuquan, Li Wenbin said angrily: "This is simply nonsense. What kind of thing is Liang Daya? At best, he is a reckless hero, and he can do it with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west to fight guerrillas, but isn't it a joke to hand over the Bump Mountain Division to him and hand over such a large base to him? ”

Dou Yuquan sat under the window, engrossed in wiping his shell gun, wiped it clean, and shone on the sunlight outside the window, and the large blue mirror suddenly splashed a halo like a lake. Dou Yuquan unloaded the barge gun again, poked the bougie into the barrel of the gun, slowly rotated, then pulled out, and then slowly rotated, as if he wanted to probe the most hidden corners of it.

Li Wenbin asked: "Why don't the regional party committees and special committees boycott it?" ”

Dou Yuquan sneered and said, "Boycott? Boycott whom? The trend of the times, whoever resists is the day of the rabid dog. Who is the composition of the sub-district party committee? Who is the Special Commissioner? In the division, only Zhang Pujing and I dared to express their own opinions, and the others were supporters of Yang Tinghui and Wang Lantian. On the side of the special commission, although Lao Jiang is presiding over the work, you know that this comrade belongs to a dog, and he is braver than anyone else when he has a strong position. In the 'Purity Movement', we all have mistakes, we can all review it calmly, we still work in the same way, and we are selfless in our hearts, who hasn't made mistakes? But Jiang Gubei, a comrade, is not good, like a lost dog, he can't live in fear, chasing his ass and reviewing with Lao Yang and Lao Wang, I heard that he also wrote a letter of repentance to Liang Daya, and personality problems have come out. Well, let's not talk about him. The appointment of Comrade Liang Daya as the commander of the division was recommended by Lao Yang and Lao Wang to their superiors and was a decision of the Jianghuai Military Region, which cannot be changed. I am telling you today just to remind you that Comrade Liang Daya still has advantages and has many merits. During the period when he has not yet reported to the district, you need to get on good terms with him. ”

Li Wenbin sneered and said: "I listened to the meaning of Deputy Commander Dou's words, did I let me take advantage of the fact that Liang Daya's divisional commander has not yet become a subordinate, and go to show him a servile face?" You can do such things, but I won't do them. ”

Dou Yuquan was not embarrassed or embarrassed, he seemed very self-contained, and said with a smile: "Lao Li, what you said is a little biased." Everyone is a comrade, and there is no question of servility. In the 'Purity Movement', we all have sorry for Comrade Liang Daya, and we should have tolerated in our attitude. ”

Li Wenbin said: "The more I look at this person, the less he looks like a good person, and he is full of gangsterism, and if he is asked to be the commander of the division, I am afraid that his warlord style will be extended to the entire Bump Mountain base area." Revolutions are often buried at the hands of these people. ”

Dou Yuquan smiled: "Do you think Liang Daya is a counter-revolutionary? ”

Li Wenbin said: "He is revolutionary in the revolutionary environment now, and if he is put in the counterrevolutionary environment, he is very likely to be a counterrevolutionary." ”

Dou Yuquan laughed and said, "You can't say this casually in the future, this is slandering comrades." ”

Li Wenbin said: "Don't pretend to be high-spirited with me, the division commander didn't let you be, I know what you feel like in your heart." In fact, we also blame ourselves for our own weakness, first, when we sent him to be the captain of Chenbu County, if you insist on it, even if you don't kill him, you won't indulge him so much. The second is that in the 'Purity Movement', I still can't do it, if I had listened to your instructions, he would have died a long time ago. ”

Dou Yuquan said with a straight face: "Lao Li, the situation was special at that time, and I ...... you That is not called an instruction, but can only be understood as a recommendation to take emergency measures in an emergency. It's best not to mention this in the future. ”

Li Wenbin didn't know the look, and said with a stiff neck: "Old Dou, you are too weak-hearted." What are you afraid of? At that time, you were not the only one who wanted to kill Liang Daya, it was needed by the revolution. If he were secretly executed at that time, this commander would have been yours, and we wouldn't have to complain here. ”

When Li Wenbin said "at that time", he meant that when Liang Daya was arrested, Dou Yuquan not only asked Jiang Gubei for the word "suffering", but when he was alone with Li Wenbin, he said something relatively openly - his trust in Li Wenbin was greater than his trust in Jiang Gubei,—— Dou Yuquan said: "The arrest of Liang Daya is not trivial, I am afraid that there will be many dreams at night." If the movement is repeated, if Lao Yang comes back and releases Liang Daya again, it will be a tiger returning to the mountain. If you don't do it, you can do it to the end, and you can't leave future troubles. ”

Of course, Li Wenbin knew what Dou Yuquan meant by "doing it to the end", and Dou Yuquan also hinted that he could do something in the meals given to Liang Daya and Zhu Zhudao, anyway, the Social Department of the Special Committee was in the hands of Jiang Gubei, and it was natural to report a violent illness and death.

However, Li Wenbin relented at that time, believing that Liang Daya and Zhu Zhudao were the turtles in the urn anyway, and that the "purity movement" was arranged by the superiors, and the momentum was very violent, and the suspects in the Second Division alone killed more than 70 people, and some of them could be convicted of death by just saying a few grumbling words. According to the situation of the "Purity Movement" at that time, even if Liang Daya's other problems were not established, he could kill him several times just by paying a birthday to the traitor maintenance chairman and sending a piece of Dayang. Revolution is a fair and righteous thing, and Dou Yuquan's method is very risky. Besides, Liang Daya and Zhu Zhudao were not sentenced to death at that time, and Li Wenbin was not very confident in doing such a big thing.

In addition, Li Wenbin touched the bottom of Zhang Pujing several times, and Zhang Pujing had the same attitude, saying: "It cannot be done like the Second Division, it must be done in accordance with the policy, and the interrogation should be strict, but it must not engage in personal destruction." ”

As a result, Li Wenbin did not accept Dou Yuquan's suggestion. Now, Liang Daya has not only not become an "impure element" and has been eliminated, but is growing stronger day by day, and even Dou Yuquan can't help but feel afraid of his original "suggestion".

…………

Dou Yuquan finally said to Li Wenbin: "Lao Li, I still want to persuade you to unite with Comrade Liang Daya. In the future, we will all work under the leadership of Comrade Liang Daya, and we must support him. As for the friction and even excesses among the comrades in the 'Purity Movement', it is understandable that we have carried out the wrong line. However, I remind you that it is better to mention these old historical accounts in the future, so as not to create new contradictions among comrades. ”

Li Wenbin said angrily: "It seems that the situation in the Bump Mountain base area may really need to be controlled by Liang Daya." I know you guys...... I'm talking about your old Dou and Jiang Gubei, and you can be said to hate and fear Liang Daya. Only Comrade Zhang Pujing neither supported nor compromised Liang Daya, and dared to criticize and resist. I believe that Comrade Zhang Pujing's attitude is the attitude that revolutionaries should have. That's the same attitude I have. If Liang Daya can really lead the situation in the Bump Mountain base area to the light, I will support him unreservedly. And you, with all due respect, are a little half-hearted about the revolution, seeing the wind and steering the rudder, and having elements of speculative revolution. ”

Dou Yuquan was not surprised, laughed, and said: "Okay, okay, we are all opportunists, only you, Comrade Li Wenbin, are the most thorough, fearless, and loyal revolutionaries, okay?" I have invited you here today, not to argue with you, but to say that everyone should do a good job of unity. We will never be able to say anything like the Jianghuai faction in the future, and whoever says it will be engaging in separatism and committing a crime. ”

Li Wenbin sneered and said, "Old Dou, you don't have to be afraid, I won't tell you your secret to Liang Daya." I was not a thorough Bolshevik, but I had some revolutionary experience. However, if I want to support and support Liang Daya, I still have to look at his performance. ”
