Age of Rebirth

Arriving in Yan'an, after meeting with the leaders of the Communist Party, they exchanged a few words of greeting. Tang Qiuzha was observing Mao Weiren, the leader of the Communist Party of China. Isn't Mao Weiren observing Tang Qiuli?

This young general, compared to a year ago, is more magnanimous and more confident in controlling everything. He already vaguely has the demeanor of a superior. Mao Weiren, including the leadership of the Communist Party, has a very perplexing question. This youthful General Tang , in charge of the largest, most powerful, and best-equipped military group of the Nationalist Government, what is his political orientation?

Whether the goodwill to Mao Zedong and the help to the Eighth Route Army are due to the needs of the War of Resistance or for other purposes, if this person is a staunch supporter of Chiang Kai-shek, he will be the enemy of Mao Zedong in the future. Even more difficult, if he is inclined to the Communist Party, considering his strength, it is even more impossible. He is still the number two figure in the Kuomintang, but he allows the development of Communist Party members in the army.

Moreover, the Communist Party members all have heavy soldiers in his army. There are too many incomprehensible and suspicious things about this person. He is absolutely unambiguous in the national righteousness of attacking the Japanese. Moreover, there are very few As for the defeat, regarding Tang Qiuli's ups and downs in the Northeast and Far East, the leadership of the Communist Party of China also conducted in-depth discussions. Under the circumstances at that time, it was definitely the best time to recover the Northeast. Moreover, Tang Qiuli had this However, he only defeated Fengtian and Liaoxi Peninsula, and returned it to the Japanese. A few dazzling moves made everyone who followed him puzzled.

As for the outside rumors that Tang Qiuli colluded with the Japanese and betrayed China's interests, Mao Weiren and the leaders of the Communist Party did not believe it at all. Just looking at the number of Japanese troops he killed over the years proved that those people had no brains. When Qiuli was questioned by the National Supervisory Council, Xinhua Daily had a large number of articles that spoke out, supporting Tang Qiuli, who had become the target of public criticism. [

When Tang Qiuli recaptured Outer Mongolia, Stalin issued an order to the Communist Party to let the Eighth Route Army troops attack the rear and communication lines of the Independent Division. The Central Committee of the Communist Party risked the rupture of relations with the Communist International and the Soviet Union and rejected this request. For this reason, Stalin was quite dissatisfied.

Therefore, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued an order to the Eighth Route Army troops and all party members. The criterion for getting along with Tang Qiuli and the North China Independent Division is, "Do not provoke, do not cross, and do not touch the bottom line of each other's psychology, coexist peacefully, and try to be friends." Such a behemoth, the most important thing is that when Tang Qiuli got along with the group, he also took great pains.

Mao Weiren then introduced to Tang Qiuli other important members of the Communist Party. The five major secretaries of the Communist Party are all old acquaintances. Zhou Gong still restrained his demeanor as always. Among the Communist Party members, Tang Qiuli had the most dealings with Zhou Gong , the two looked at each other. The other generals of the Eighth Route Army, En, came to salute one after another.

Tang Qiuli was dizzy for a while. These people are all marshals and generals of the Red Republic in the future. Whichever one is taken out, they all have great military exploits and reputation. It's just that the North China Independent Division turned out to make them less Many opportunities for bloody battles with the Japanese.

It took a while before the introduction was over. Everyone walked to the Central Office of the ** together. The Eighth Route Army soldiers guarding the street were in good spirits. They looked at Tang Qiuli with no hostility like they did when they first came here, but It is a kind of respect from the heart. After all, where is Tang Qiuli's record in the war against Japan and his assistance to the Eighth Route Army?

When we arrived at the auditorium of the Communication Department, we did not have any talks, but watched a carefully arranged performance. Before the performance began, Zhou Gong, on behalf of the Communist Party Central Committee, extended a warm welcome to Tang Qiuli's arrival. After a short welcome speech , is a performance full of Yan'an characteristics. The repertoire of the performance is similar to Tang Qiuli's memory from later generations, such as the Yellow River chorus, salvation songs and dramas, etc. It can be seen that such large-scale theatrical performances are not often held in Yan'an.

People from all walks of life in Yan'an welcomed Tang Qiuli, vice chairman of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, who came to inspect the large auditorium. These plays were very popular in Yan'an, and the auditorium was flooded with stormy applause from time to time. Mei Xue was the first I saw it for the first time, and I watched it with concentration and relish, but it was Tang Qiuli himself, because he had watched it several times in later generations, and his attention was not on it.

At noon, a sumptuous lunch was arranged. This was only relatively speaking. Compared with the banquet entertained by the national government, it was not a star and a half. It was mostly local characteristics in northern Shaanxi. Tang Qiuli noticed that the few cold dishes on the table , It is obviously a food produced by Dingbian. On the outer packaging, there is still the words of Dingbian Food Company. In Yan'an, the production of such specifications also shows the sincerity of **.

As for the food that Mei Ting brought to Tang Qiuli, it is not suitable to take it out on such an occasion. Tang Qiuli smiled secretly: "Mei Ting came to Yan'an. When the Red Army was reorganized in [-], she was the last member of the advance team." Arriving in Yan'an first, I probably have suffered from the lack of supplies in Yan'an, and I know that my husband is greedy for delicious food, so before coming, I prepared a large amount of cooked food and other food, and told Mei Xue to look after me." Today, the material life of the concubine in Yan'an is the same as before. It's quite different, Mei Ting's worries don't exist.

During the dinner, the guests and the host talked happily. From time to time, heavyweights in the Communist Party of China and senior generals of the Eighth Route Army came to toast, and Tang Qiuli responded one by one. At this time, a woman came over with a fair face and elegant manners. In her thirties, for some reason, Tang Qiuli felt that she had the smell of someone who often went to high-end places in Shanghai.

"Vice Chairman Tang, Mrs. Tang, hello. My name is **. On behalf of the women's community in Yan'an, I would like to extend my warmest welcome to you. Mrs. Tang is so beautiful!" Looking at Mei Xue a few times, with the jealousy and dissatisfaction of being a woman, and with a faint smell of jealousy, Tang Qiuli suddenly realized that this is Mao Weiren's wife.

In later generations, he was a person who stirred up storms, especially his performance during the Cultural Revolution. What Tang Qiuli saw were all photos after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Compared with the ** in front of him, he was much older However, Tang Qiuli's affection for her has greatly diminished. At the same time, Tang Qiuli also noticed that Mao Weiren couldn't help frowning, obviously I am not very satisfied with my wife showing such a limelight.

Tang Qiuli replied politely: "Thank you, Madam Mao, for your hospitality," she raised her eyebrows, obviously surprised that Tang Qiuli had revealed her identity. Mei Xue was no better than Mei Ting. Lacking adaptability, he didn't speak, and he didn't hear the jealousy in **'s tone. He just smiled slightly, which was regarded as an answer.

Tang Qiuli's return did not arouse her interest, but Mei Xue's reaction made her feel confused and frustrated. She didn't know that this overly beautiful Mrs. Tang, In fact, she is a little girl who doesn't know much about the world. She thinks that to be around such a big man, she must be an unfathomable figure.

**Unable to touch Mei Xue's depth, she couldn't help but look at Mei Xue a few more times, turned her eyes a few times flexibly, nodded politely, and left. Tang Qiuli made an instant judgment that this Mrs. Mao was not simple. After sitting down, Tang Qiuli held his wife's little hand and whispered into her little ear, "Xue'er, I'm jealous of you." Unpredictable smile, said nothing.

After the luncheon, they went back to rest in the well-arranged cave, and the person in charge of the Yan'an Communication Office came in and said, "Vice Chairman Tang, Mrs. Tang, you two have a good rest. If you have nothing to do, don't bother me." Tang Qiuli was very surprised. He thought that the meeting would be held in the afternoon, but he didn't know that the leader of the Communist Party of China would not invite him to Yan'an just to let him rest. It's as simple as eating and drinking. What is **.

After dinner, Tang Qiuli lay on Mei Xue's lap, absent-mindedly eating the cooked food that Mei Xue brought to his mouth, pondering the intentions of the leaders of the Communist Party of China, with a typical posture of a young master. Asking voice: "General Tang, Mrs. Tang, you haven't rested yet, please come and see General Tang."

Tang Qiuli was stunned. It could be that the bosses in the cave have a habit of talking about things at night. Last time it was also at night. They hurriedly got up and said, "Everyone, please come in." As soon as the door of the cave opened, five or six people followed Entering, the small cave suddenly seemed a little crowded.

Mao Weiren said in a strong Hunan accent: "General Tang, Mrs. Tang, please forgive me for disturbing you late at night. I hope I am not a bad guest. You all know these people. Comrade Enlai, Boss Zhu, Comrade Shaoqi, Bi Shi Comrade, this is our first meeting, Comrade Kang Sheng, who just came back from the Soviet Union, is a famous theoretician of our Party.”[

A tall, thin man in his 40s with a pair of black-rimmed glasses on his razor-sharp face and somewhat gloomy eyes approached Zhong enthusiastically. Tang Qiuli was shocked again, dare to say, this is also a famous person, Mao Weiren respectfully called him Old Kang, one of the few writers in the Communist Party, Comrade Kang Sheng. At that time, this person had just returned from the Soviet Union, and he held the important position of the Minister of Social Affairs of the Communist Party's anti-espionage agency. trust and respect.

However, Tang Qiuli didn't like him very much. What this person did during the Cultural Revolution really disgusted Tang Qiuli. A pen is like a knife like a sword. The marshals and generals with great military exploits were hacked and bruised by his pen, driven to the point of doom, and even lost their own lives. This is an insidious villain.

Tang Qiuli was obviously indifferent to Kang Sheng. Kang Sheng himself was puzzled, but Mao Weiren, Zhou Gong and others also exchanged glances in surprise. They didn't know that this heavyweight in the Communist Party had just returned from the Soviet Union. Mr. Kang, how did you not invite Vice Chairman Tang to see you? It seems like the two sides are meeting for the first time, right?
