The location of the command organ of the Bump Mountain Military Division is in the Qingliang Temple in Meiling.

On this night, it was not cool in Qingliang Temple.

Yang Tinghui and Wang Lantian had wine at their last dinner before leaving the Bump Mountain Military Division. The wine is a sweet potato made by the common people of Bump Mountain, the taste is very mellow and strong, and when you swallow it, you can spicy out a hot one in the intestines. The dishes to accompany the wine are naturally very simple, such as beans and gourds grown by their own team, and then yellow eels and crucian carp that the soldiers went down to the river to touch. The Chenbu County Brigade sent half a fan of pork, and Yang Tinghui asked him to cut half of it for the independent regiment, and then cut half of it for the special committee organs, and let the sub-district room stew the rest in a pot with turnips, and the cadres and soldiers of the sub-district organs divided it equally according to their heads, with half a bowl per person. When several chiefs get together, there are four sea bowls, of course, most of them are radishes.

The most eye-catching thing during the banquet was a leg of a waxed dog that Dou Yuquan took the initiative to contribute. This is still winter, the consolation goods sent by Liu Hanying on the other side of the mountain, the head of the independent regiment Zhao left a little private goods, and he has not been willing to swallow it alone, until the second division took office, and then transferred it to Dou Yuquan, today it is a big handy, stir-fry with dry red peppers, and mix some vermicelli into it, adding a lot of color to this dinner that is both delicious and heart-to-heart.

The food was a little worse, but with the sake of the wine, the atmosphere became warmer.

In addition to Yang and Wang, Dou Yuquan, Zhang Pujing, and Jiang Jiahu, chief of staff, Zhang Xiuhai, director of supply of the military sub-district, Jiang Gubei, deputy secretary of the special committee and deputy political commissar of the sub-district, and Zhu Jiang, deputy chief of staff, also participated in the trip. There were also some staff officers who went in and out, saying that they were here to fish for oil, water and meat, eat and drink, but most of them were very interesting, and no one really poked the pot of high-standard vermicelli fried dog meat, but out of respect for the chief, they came to toast and say goodbye, and some people wiped their tears.

After eating for a while, the staff officers stopped coming in, and the chiefs entered the stage of heart-to-heart.

Yang Tinghui said: "In the past few years of my work in Bump Mountain, I have one of the biggest experiences, which is to unite to fight hard. The achievements of the work of the Bump Mountain Special Committee and the military sub-district and the struggle against the enemy are in the forefront within the scope of the military region. We Communists rely on collective strength. I, Yang Tinghui, don't have three heads and six arms, and Lao Wang and I are only two brains and four arms. But if we put our hearts together, one person can play the role of ten people and hundreds of people. I thank my comrades for their support for me. Of course, this does not mean that there are no differences between us at all, but these differences are based on the premise of safeguarding the interests of the revolution and on the basis of unity. ”

Yang Tinghui's words were straightforward, and first hit a sensitive nerve.

Dou Yuquan immediately said: "Commander, rest assured, I personally think it is appropriate to appoint Comrade Liang Daya as the commander of the division this time. Although he was a worker and peasant cadre, his progress in the past few years was obvious to all, and he basically matured politically. Besides, he showed great achievements in combat practice, and such comrades were needed in the anti-Japanese struggle on Bump Mountain. ”

Yang Tinghui said: "I believe that Lao Dou's words are from the bottom of my heart. Lao Dou, the two of us are also old partners. Although you also have some shortcomings, I have no doubt about your party nature and personality. Personally, you also saved my life, that time in distress in Sanhedian, you took that shot for me. It's not an intimate comradeship, who wants to die for another person? A person can sacrifice his life for his comrades-in-arms and revolutionary life, so what else can he not give? Why did you promote Liang Daya this time and not let you be the commander of the division, to be honest, this is mainly my opinion. When Lao Wang and I reported to the higher-level party committee, we were not without repetition in our thinking, but we finally recommended Liang Daya. First, because that movement has just passed, the bad influence of a few of your comrades does still exist, and it is not appropriate for you to be the commander at this time. The second reason is that Liang Daya has done a really good job in the past two years, especially in the eyes of the enemy and hypocrites, which has a great deterrent effect. The replacement of the old and new divisional teams, and letting Liang Daya be the commander is good for stabilizing the situation in the uneven mountain. These are the two reasons. If we put aside these two items, whether it is political quality, military accomplishment, or personal morality and command ability, don't talk about you Lao Dou, I can say that he Liang Daya cannot be compared with any comrade here. For the reuse of beam teeth, it can be said that it is a special choice under special conditions. So I have to leave my words here today, all of you here are old revolutionaries, and they all participated in the revolution earlier than Liang Daya, except for Comrade Zhang Xiuhai, who has a longer party age than Liang Daya. What is the old revolution? The new comrades came up, helped him to get on the horse, and gave him a ride, this is the mind of the old revolutionary. ”

Wang Lantian said: "What Lao Yang and Lao Dou say is what they say from their hearts, and they are both the attitudes of revolutionaries. Come, let's not patronize and talk, the wine still has to be drunk, the dog meat is going to be cold, everyone move the chopsticks quickly. ”

Zhang Pujing held up the wine bowl and said: "I have an opinion on Comrade Liang Daya, and Communist Party members do not say anything from the heart. But at the party meeting, I raised my hand. Now that I have raised my hand, I will never violate the organizational principles. But that doesn't mean I don't have an opinion. I still want to resist Liang Daya's bad habits and warlord style. Come, Commander, if you agree with me, let's dry this bowl of wine. ”

Yang Tinghui immediately stood up and said, "I'll drink first and then speak." After speaking, he lifted the bowl, touched Zhang Pujing, raised his head and drank it all.

After drinking, Yang Tinghui slammed the bowl on the table and said, "Lao Zhang, you said that you want to resist Liang Daya's bad habits and warlord style, why don't I agree?" Lao Zhang, you said to my heart. We recommended Liang Daya as the commander of the division, not without a little concern, the biggest concern is that no one dares to touch his tiger buttocks. A person's journey to progress is long, and it requires constant criticism and arguments. There must be someone who appears opposite him from time to time, not only to point him out when he has shortcomings, but more importantly, when he achieves results, when he is proud, someone dares to give him a head start and make him vigilant. Liang Daya has weaknesses in character, and some weaknesses are fatal. First of all, it is necessary to oppose his arrogance, his personal heroism, and his warlord habits, and to strengthen his sense of party spirit. Who will accomplish this mission? Or rely on our political workers. The political commissar of the subdivision is not clear for the time being, Lao Zhang, you know the reason. ”

Zhang Pujing was originally not strong enough to drink, and he was injured several times in the seventh "sweep", and the wounds had just healed not long ago, and he dared to drink heavily today, which was completely caused by emotions. After a bowl of wine, his face turned a little pale, and he took Yang Tinghui's words and said: "I have my own understanding of the mistakes I have made. What is the point of personal advance and retreat? The eldest husband does not seek fame when he enters, and he does not avoid sin when he retreats. I joined the Communist Party to make a revolution, not to be an official and a master. I would also like to state that I am now the deputy political commissar and director of the Political Department, and as long as I am a political worker and a member of the Communist Party, I will not give up my principles. This can be done by the facts. ”

Some drunkenness, the words are sonorous. Sitting together and shouting, they were all old Yang, Lao Wang, Lao Dou, Lao Zhang, and in fact, they were all in their twenties and thirties, and the arduous and complicated struggle made these young revolutionaries mature ahead of schedule.

Among these people, Wang Lantian is a little older, and he speaks much more calmly. He raised his chopsticks again and beckoned everyone to eat dog meat. Although it is dog meat in the next year, fortunately, the Bump Mountain people have their own tricks to pickle these things, first boil them in an iron pot on the half-cooked, then soak them in pepper and salt water, knead them with minced ginger and miso soup after the water comes out and then soak them, and then air dry them out of the water, and they will see red every day. When cooking, it is served with red pepper and fried in oil, and the flavor is fried. On the table, the color is bright and the fragrance is pervasive.

Everyone also felt that the topic was too deep, but it was inconvenient for most people to interject on such occasions. With Director Wang taking the lead, they all raised the meat one after another. It's really a good thing, the muscles are chewy, and the mouth is fragrant.

Wang Lantian looked at Yang Tinghui with a smile and said, "Old Yang, can we reveal our thoughts to everyone here?" ”

Yang Tinghui said: "Of course you can, they are all old comrades." ”

Wang Lantian pushed the wine bowl in front of Zhang Pujing and said cordially: "Old Zhang, the road knows the horsepower, and the people will see the hearts of the people for a long time. We've been comrades for four or five years, right? There are some issues on which we disagree, and this does not affect our sincere comradeship. Your comrade has a strong fighting spirit and a strong sense of principle, which is very commendable. Comrade Lao Yang and I both believe that the 'purity movement' in Bump Mountain has gone too far, and it is not anyone's responsibility. What did such a big party organization do, and what did so many old Red Army veterans who had been educated by the party for many years go? Just so incompetent? Just so blind? I'm afraid not all. We also had doubts, but the tasks were assigned from above, and the organizational principles did not allow us to resist. Therefore, everyone has responsibilities, but there are light and heavy. Even if it is implemented a little bit, it is still a matter of awareness, not of personal quality. Lao Yang, the two of us summed it up, and the political commissar of the Bump Mountain Military Sub-district still asks you to act as an agent. When we arrive at the military region, we will report our views to the party committee of the military region, and as for how to adjust the situation in the next step, we will give due consideration to it organizationally. ”

Yang Tinghui picked up the wine bowl, looked around, suddenly smiled, and said: "Today's meal is exquisite, and it is said that everyone will fight together to treat their stomachs, but while eating, a meeting will be held." In this way, all of you are leaders of the sub-districts and special committees, and we will hold an extraordinary party meeting today. But today's meeting is a bit special, not only you said he said, but there was not only wine and food on the table, but also such a pot of hot and spicy red bacon meat. Dog meat is fragrant, deep and long-lasting, I think today's dinner is called a dog meat meeting, what do you think, comrades? ”

The comrades laughed and said that the commander's idea was good, and the meal was meaningful.

The atmosphere was re-enlivened, and Zhang Xiuhai, the minister of supply, felt that he should do some support actions as a logistics officer, so he stood up with a stiff neck, picked up the wine jar and poured it around, and then shouted to touch the wine with everyone. In the blink of an eye, half a jar of wine was poured into the stomachs of the comrades.

Outside the door, a few cadres of the organ probed their brains, and when Yang Tinghui saw it, he called in and said: "The commander and political commissar are leaving, and the other comrades of the organ have come to toast, but I don't see a few of you. ”

Several people argued together, saying that they had just returned from the independent regiment and did not know that they would give the commander and political commissar a meal tonight.

Officer Qiu of the Organization Section said: "How dare you make a cool tea, not to mention that the commander and political commissar are transferred to the military region to take greater responsibility, even if they are really transferred to other places, we must not forget the old chief who trained us to grow up." ”

Yang Tinghui laughed and said: "In the end, it is a talent in the division, with a hard pen and a sweet mouth." Okay, I don't know it's an exaggeration, everyone will have a piece of dog meat first, and after eating, they will toast me and Director Wang. ”

This time it was lively, and the staff officers went up together, some drank with the commander, some drank with Director Wang, and the chiefs finished their meetings and then worked with the heads of the organs.

Taking advantage of this chaotic commotion, Wang Lantian made a look, called Dou Yuquan and Zhang Pujing to the back room, closed the door and said, "Let them drink with the commander, I can't do it." They drink theirs, let's move on to our dog meat meeting. ”

Zhang Pujing said: "There is no more dog meat, only meetings remain. ”

Dou Yuquan said: "You are a dead person, the dog meat is in your stomach, why is it gone?" ”

Wang Lantian said: "Tomorrow Commander Yang and I will go to Chenbu County to talk to Liang Daya, but there are some things that we have to say to the two of you in advance. Regarding the appointment of Liang Daya, although the opinions of Commander Yang and I are dominant, we are indeed not very relieved, just as the commander just said, it is a special choice under special conditions. What Commander Yang meant was that Lao Zhang was still fully responsible for political work, and Lao Dou was in charge of operational matters. Which people from the sub-district party committee will participate, the two of you will first sum up a rough idea. The party committee divided labor, Lao Zhang directly served as the secretary, and Lao Dou served as the deputy secretary. Comrade Liang Daya has not been a member of the party for a long time, so he can just be a committee member. ”

Zhang Pujing said indifferently: "My political commissar is an acting, and I think it is appropriate for the party secretary to be a deputy, otherwise, it will not be very convenient for the new political commissar to be replaced." ”

Wang Lantian smiled and said, "Do you Lao Zhang really don't understand or are you pretending to be confused?" Who is the new commissar? Obviously, it's just a matter of time. ”

Zhang Pujing sneered and asked, "Lao Wang, did you say this, or did Lao Yang say it?" ”

Wang Lantian said: "You think about it yourself, if this is not the case, then it is not what I said, nor what Lao Yang said, that is what dog meat said." In all conscience, the burden on your shoulders is not light, and the work of this division depends mainly on the two of you. Major issues must be studied at party meetings, and individual heroism must be resolutely opposed. We must still uphold the principle that the party commands the gun and insist that the political commissars exercise the right to make the final decision. We will also make this clear to Comrade Liang Daya. ”

Dou Yuquan said: "The superiors are very thoughtful and open their hearts to the party, and I believe that we will cooperate well with Comrade Liang Daya." Comrade Liang Daya has just taken over, and the situation may not be familiar, but I can have a little more. Wait until he has a full grasp of the situation, and then gradually let go. ”

Wang Lantian said excitedly: "Lao Yang and I want you Lao Dou to say this." I will also give you a real answer, the Jianghuai Military Region lacks a deputy chief of staff, and we recommend you, but you can't leave now, you have to take Liang Daya on a ride, you can let go, and at that time, you will decide whether to adjust or not according to your own ideas. You two, do you have any questions? ”

Zhang Pujing stood up, glanced at Dou Yuquan, and said lukewarmly: "I have no problem." It doesn't matter what position you hold, what matters is the revolution. ”

Dou Yuquan said: "Everything that should be said has been said, in the final analysis, it is still the old saying, Lao Wang and Lao Yang, you can relax and take office lightly, my Lao Dou will do the slightest thing that violates the principles of the organization, and you will shoot me." ”

…………

In the whole occasion of the breakup, there was only one person who was always silent and seemed to be preoccupied, and he was Jiang Gubei.

Jiang Gubei does not have the arrogance and stubbornness of Zhang Pujing, nor does it have the thoughtful cultivation of Dou Yuquan. He was the most active in the "Purity Movement," and he even illegally executed Liang Daya and Zhu Zhudao; now that Liang Daya has become the commander of the division, although his main focus is on the special commission, he is also the deputy political commissar of the division, and if he leaves the divisional troops, the special committee will not be able to move an inch. Whether Liang Daya can give him a good face, only God knows.
