After the banquet with Yan Xishan, Liu Yimin saw that the conversation with Yan Xishan and others had an effect. Yang Aiyuan, Wang Jingguo, Zhao Chengshou, Sun Chu, Liang Huazhi and others seemed to have listened. After the banquet was over, these people stayed with him.
Following Yan Xishan, Zhao Daiwen, and Liu Yimin, they walked around the mountain ridge in Guxian with flashlights. They were very friendly and wanted to strike while the iron was hot. The next day, they went to the headquarters of the Second War Zone Commander who retreated to Guxian with Yan Xishan, Shanxi Province.
Government cadres gave speeches to further strengthen their confidence in the war of resistance. It is best to inspect the Jinsui Army troops, meet with cadres above the regiment level, tell everyone about the situation of the war of resistance, and provide guidance on the tactical movement training and combat command of the Jinsui Army.
It happened that Zhao Daiwen also had this idea, and directly made a suggestion to Yan Xishan, saying that the Eighth Route Army instructors were well-trained, well-equipped, famous cities, and had outstanding military exploits. Commander Liu Yimin was not only the commander of the Eighth Route Army instructors, but also a former Red Army University, the Chinese People's The president of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University not only has the foresight and sagacity of the Anti-Japanese War, but also has practical command experience in the Shanxi Anti-Japanese War, the Ping-Tianjin Anti-Japanese War, the North China Plains Anti-Japanese War, and the Shandong and Northern Jiangsu Anti-Japanese War. He is praised by China and foreign countries as the invincible general of my country's Anti-Japanese War, including Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. They all rushed to Xuzhou to meet him and consult him on the anti-Japanese war strategy. In particular, General Liu Yimin made great contributions to the political power construction and economic construction of the Communist Party of my country's Shaanxi Anti-Japanese Base Area and Shandong Anti-Japanese Base Area. He is indeed an outstanding military master and political and economic master in our country. It is not easy for him to come here. I don’t know when we will see each other again after we leave. Can you please ask General Liu Yimin to give a class to the party, government and military cadres in Guxian, talk about the international and domestic situation, analyze the prospects of the Anti-Japanese War, comment on the gains and losses in the Shanxi battlefield, and unify the cadres Their thoughts inspired the anti-Japanese fighting spirit.
Unexpectedly, Yan Xishan kept calling him "Brother, silly boy". After hearing Zhao Daiwen's words, he said that Mr. Liu escaped from death and came to Guxian after a long journey. It was already a great opportunity to have a drink with everyone.
How could you ignore his hard work and let him worry about Shanxi again? Mr. Liu had already said what needed to be said at the wine table. He went back to sort out the conversation and distributed it to the cadres to study and discuss and gain lessons from it. It's late today, so let's
Mr. Liu should have an early rest and recover his strength. Tomorrow morning, he plans to accompany Liu Yimin to Hukou Waterfall to see the most majestic scenery of the Yellow River. Then he will rush to Yumenkou to visit the Longmen scenic spot and arrange for a waterfall at Yumenkou.
The play was performed to express condolences to Master Liu Yimin who returned in triumph. The day after, he sent Master Liu across the river and returned to Xi'an via Hancheng.
Yan Xishan finally said that Commander Liu was a key general of the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army. It was said that after Master Liu's plane was intercepted by the Japanese invaders, there was a burst of crying in Xi'an, and many mourning halls were built. Later, it was learned that Commander Liu had escaped safely.
Firecrackers were blasting all night long in Xi'an, which was more lively than the Chinese New Year. At this moment, Mr. Runzhi, Mr. Enlai, and Commander-in-Chief Yujie must be eagerly waiting for their beloved general to return home! Don't let the affairs of the Jinsui Army fetter Liu.
Regarding the division commander's schedule and the affairs of the Jinsui Army, we should work hard on our own, so we won't bother Division Commander Liu.
Liu Yimin laughed when he heard this. After all, this Yan Laoxi is still a local emperor. He is afraid that as soon as he comes into contact with the grassroots cadres of the Jinsui Army, he will divide and disintegrate his Jinsui Army and shake the foundation of his rule. Thinking about it again,
If Yan Xishan allows him to communicate with the cadres of the Shanxi-Sui Army, maybe many people can really take off the uniforms of the Shanxi-Sui Army and wear the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army! You know, in history, when Yan Xishan wanted to surrender to the Japanese, the second
Cadres from the war zone commander's office went to report to Zhao Daiwen. Zhao Daiwen met Yan Xishan twice to remonstrate with him, and even threatened to jump into the Yellow River if Yan Xishan surrendered. This shows that a considerable number of the grassroots cadres of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army are determined to resist Japan.
Considering that the meeting with Yan Xishan in the evening and the conversation at the wine table had already had a certain effect, Liu Yimin felt that there was no point in entangled with Yan Xishan anymore. It was estimated that Yan Xishan would not make any splash in the short term. It was far from the historical Shanxi Incident.
There is still a year left! There are plenty of opportunities to do his job in the meantime. If the job doesn't work out, Yan Xishan is still bent on anti-communism and causing friction, and even flirts with the little devils to compromise and surrender. Hehe, just in time, it's just someone who wants to sleep.
Send a pillow, with the strong strength of the four main divisions of our army in Shanxi, you can make him change his tune obediently while talking and laughing, and he has to follow the Eighth Route Army to resist the Japanese!
Thinking of this, Liu Yimin told Yan Xishan that he was eager to return to Shaanxi. If there was an opportunity, he would be willing to have a discussion with the cadres of the Shanxi-Sui Army to discuss the anti-Japanese plan. Since Commander Yan is so determined to resist the Japanese, I believe that the Jin-Sui army
The army will definitely shine in the next battle. Commander Yan is busy with military and government affairs and dare not waste the commander's time. He will not go to Hukou. He will set off early tomorrow morning, cross the river to the west, and rush back quickly
Xi'an. When I have the opportunity, I will come again to visit Commander Yan and Chairman Zhao, and to express my condolences to the comrades of the Shanxi-Sui Army.
As soon as Yan Xishan heard Liu Yimin's words, he knew that Liu Yimin had guessed what he was thinking, but he just didn't reveal it. His old face turned red and red in the night, and he insisted that Hukou Waterfall was only twenty-six or seven miles away from here, and there was a waterfall there.
The iron cable bridge is more convenient and safer than the boat ferry here. Tomorrow, no matter what, I will accompany Liu Yimin to Hukou to see it, and then I will see Liu Yimin off at Hukou.
Liu Yimin couldn't refuse, so he had to agree. Then everyone split up to rest, and spent the night in silence.
Early the next morning, Yan Xishan's chief of staff, Zhang Fengji, came to ask Liu Yimin to get up and wash up, and reported that Commander Yan was waiting for him to have breakfast.
When Liu Yimin walked into the cave where he drank last night, he saw that the guests had changed. In addition to Zhao Daiwen, Yang Aiyuan, Zhao Chengshou, Wang Jingguo, Sun Chu, and Liang Huazhi were all missing. It may be that they all returned to the army overnight last night. They replaced them.
Those are Yan Xishan’s second wife Xu Lansen and fifth sister Yan Huiqing.
Breakfast is very simple, consisting of soup, pancakes and pickled radish.
Wu Meizi is the best at observing people's emotions, speaking thoughtfully, and she can also tell some jokes.
Seeing that Liu Yimin had a good night's sleep, he had recovered a lot of energy, and he looked extraordinarily handsome. While the five sisters diligently scooped soup and cakes for Liu Yimin, they asked Liu Yimin if he was used to living in cave dwellings and if he slept well at night. That tone,
That voice sounded like a virtuous sister-in-law in a big family.
Liu Yimin said with a smile that he was a hard-working person who didn't choose his bed. He could lie down and sleep wherever he went, and he would sleep until dawn.
The fifth sister said that she didn't believe it. People said that Mr. Liu's wife was as beautiful as a fairy, a talented foreign student, a young couple, didn't they have a dream at night?
Liu Yimin said that he had indeed dreamed, but he did not dream about his wife. Instead, he dreamed about his two sons. The older one was covered in mud and dirty, and the younger one was lying on the bed and crying.
The fifth sister said: "Look, such a big general can't tell the truth. If you miss your wife, just say you miss your wife, and you have to make up a lie and say you miss your son. The men in our Wutai area are like this. When we call aunt, we just say we miss her."
When I call my son or a girl by her name, I blush and my neck becomes thick when I mention my mother-in-law. Is it possible that Master Liu’s family’s customs are the same as those in Wutai?”
Zhao Daiwen felt that the fifth sister's joke was not good at all, so he coughed.
As soon as the fifth girl heard the cough, she knew that the old man didn't want to hear it anymore, so she hurriedly lowered her head to eat.
Yan Xishan knew that Liu Yimin had been having trouble with his relationship, and he was also afraid that the fifth sister might accidentally say the wrong thing and make Liu Yimin worried, so he said, "A gentleman eats without saying a word!"
When the fifth sister heard this, she raised her head, glanced at Yan Xishan's face, and said, "Brother, I am a woman, not a gentleman!"
Xu Lansen burst out laughing.
Not to mention, the atmosphere at the dinner table was much more lively because of the five girls joking.
After dinner, Liu Yimin and Zhao Daiwen said goodbye, then took Li Hongjun and the others and followed Yan Xishan to Hukou Waterfall.
As soon as he set off, Liu Yimin frowned. Isn't this Yan Laoxi'er too impressive? He was riding a donkey. There were five or six guards on both sides of the donkey. In addition to the guards, there was also a large group of service personnel behind him.
, there are people who carry the kettle, there are people who hold the washbasin, and there are people who are responsible for even the towels. If a Japanese plane discovers this, isn't it a living target?
But when he saw Yan Laoxi's helpful look, Liu Yimin laughed. This old man had already developed the habit of showing off his style. It is said that when he returned to his hometown in Hebian Village, he parked his car all the way and insisted on walking into the village.
, and even watched a play with the villagers. When I saw these plots on the Internet, I thought Yan Laoxi'er was approachable and developed without forgetting his true colors! Now it seems that it is also a kind of style, a high-ranking success.
The kind of demeanor that people deliberately put on to show that they are well-educated and not superior to others. It looks quite cute.
When Liu Yimin was studying before traveling through time, he had some knowledge of these warlords of the Republic of China. He knew that Yan Xishan and Li Zongren were the best among the warlords, and could also be said to be upper-class warlords. Both of them had contributed to the construction of the place. Especially Li Zongren.
, worthy of being a famous anti-Japanese general, a great strategist, and a broad-minded political mind. Although this Yan Xishan is used to speculation, his achievements in governing Shanxi are still there. Sometimes, Liu Yimin also lamented that Chiang Kai-shek did not know how to employ people. If Yan Xishan was allowed to
Xishan is probably much smarter than Kong Xiangxi when he is the executive president. At least he will not embezzle donations for aid to China. Therefore, after time travel, he is generally more respectful when dealing with Li Zongren and Yan Xishan.
Liu Yimin really wanted to remind Yan Xishan that when marching in war years, the team must be capable and fast. But look at Yan Xishan's self-satisfied style, and then look at Wu Shaozhi, Secretary General of the Chief Executive Department, Chu Xichun, Deputy Chief of Staff, and Chief Attendant
Zhang Fengji and the adjutant chief Lu Huande were busy rushing around Yan Xishan's donkey, holding back their words as they came to their lips.
As a result, it took us almost three hours to walk from Guxian to Hukou Waterfall, a distance of twenty-six and seven miles. We set off at 7:30 in the morning and didn’t arrive until 10:30.
Liu Yimin had never been to Hukou Waterfall before, and had only seen it on TV and online before crossing over. When he went north to fight against the Japanese, he crossed the river from Longmen and went straight north by highway. He had no time or mood to visit this beautiful scenery of rivers and mountains.
As soon as he arrived at the Hukou Waterfall, Liu Yimin was shocked. He could not have imagined that the Hukou Waterfall at this time would be so full of water and so powerful. It was really a nine-melody wave, raging like a tidal wave. No wonder Guang Weiran was able to write the eternal masterpiece "Yellow River Cantata" when he arrived here.
》.
Liu Yimin stood on the shore, looking at the rushing water like a yellow roaring dragon. He thought that nature was so miraculous and that it was a miraculous workmanship. How could he have imagined that Hukou Falls was so spectacular without observing it on the spot?
As I was thinking about it, I thought, if the Little Devil's tanks and armored vehicles fell into the water, they would probably be swept away without a trace like a boulder. It would be best to take the Little Devil's Second Division, Fifth Division, and Guards
It brought a mechanized group like the division here and let the raging Yellow River swallow them up completely.
Looking up at the peaks on both sides of the bank, I saw towering mountains, overlapping tens of thousands of feet; looking down at the rushing Yellow River, I felt that the river was vast and had thousands of waves. Liu Yimin's heart was surging, and he seemed to have some realization. Suddenly he made a fist with his right hand, and with his left hand
He held his hands together and started boxing on the bank of Hukou Waterfall.
At the beginning, Liu Yimin's fists were heavy, and he got up quickly with each blow, and his whole body was wrapped in the shadows of overlapping fists. Then Liu Yimin stood up from the ground, and his feet exchanged points in the air, as if
It hovers like an eagle, one section higher than the other, and it rises for seven consecutive sections before landing gracefully. The moves become like flying flowers and butterflies, extremely light, and then return to solemnity. Each move seems to stir up the dangers of the world.
It was like a heavy burden. In the end, Liu Yimin exerted force in his chest, and a long roar spread in the mountains on both sides along with the waves of the Yellow River. His fists immediately became faster, so fast that people could not see his figure clearly.
When Liu Yimin stopped, he felt that all the pores in his body were clear and stretched, and he felt indescribably comfortable. He knew that he had thoroughly understood what he had learned. Then he laughed, turned around and walked towards Yan Xishan and others.
When I came to the front, I saw Yan Xishan covering his ears with his hands and his mouth open. He stared at him unblinkingly. The soldiers of the Jinsui Army Guards behind him all squatted on the ground and covered their ears. Some soldiers still had something in their ears.
Light traces of blood seeped out.
Liu Yimin reached out and patted Yan Xishan's arm and said, "Commander Yan, what's wrong with you?"
The muscles on Yan Xishan's face twitched a few times, and he murmured to himself: "Incredible, incredible!"
After a long time, Yan Xishan finally came to his senses and said to Liu Yimin: "Brother, silly boy, are you still a human being? How can you jump so high? How can you roar so loudly? Are you still a human being? I
I'm really afraid you'll fall into the Yellow River. I'm scared to death, old man!"
Liu Yimin laughed loudly: "I just had a temporary itch and practiced a set of boxing and kicking. It's nothing. Don't be surprised!"
Yan Xishan added: "I didn't expect you to be so skilled. Why are you so brave? You dare to go to the Jaap's division and kill the Jaap's division leader. It turns out you are a legendary martial arts master!"
Liu Yimin smiled and stopped talking. He looked at the waterfall in front of him and thought silently.
Yan Xishan saw the Hukou Waterfall and witnessed Liu Yimin's kung fu. He felt satisfied and ordered to go to Hukou Pier for dinner.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Yellow River water transport was busy, forming a water transport network with the Weihe River water transport in Shaanxi and the Fenhe River water transport in Shanxi. Because the height of the Hukou Falls is as high as 30 meters, ships traveling from south to north cannot sail here and must unload their cargo.
, drag the boat up to the north bank, go around the waterfall, and then put the boat into the water to continue sailing. This forms the wonder of Yellow River water transportation-dry road boating. Since thousands of boats pass through Hukou every year, in this way, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties,
An important flood and drought wharf and wharf market town have been formed on the east bank of Hukou. The wharf market town is lined with shops and merchants, including banks, skin shops, pawn shops, dye shops, salt shops, guesthouses, pharmacies, restaurants, etc. Every spring and autumn
, there were two large rallies, merchants from surrounding provinces gathered, and commercial activities were very active. This was the war years, so water transportation was naturally depressed. But after all, it was an important east-west road, a north-south thoroughfare, and the docks were still very lively.
At this time, Yan Xishan only felt that Liu Yimin was surrounded by a mystery and was unfathomable. The reception became more and more attentive. Not only did Zhang Fengji, Lu Huande, Wu Shaozhi, and Chu Xichun order them around, asking them to arrange meals quickly, they also asked the soldiers who had brought them to the battlefield.
The actors of the troupe sang Pu Opera to add to the fun, which attracted merchants and boatmen from the market town to come and watch.
Liu Yimin looked at Yan Xishan and felt funny. Is this Commander Yan who keeps talking about the philosophy of China, the philosophy of the second, and the ability to do philosophy? Why does he look like an old man from the countryside?
After finally finishing the meal, Liu Yimin no longer wanted to be entangled with Yan Xishan, so he said goodbye to him.
Yan Xishan was so kind that he held Liu Yimin's hand and took him to the iron cable bridge.
When they parted, Yan Xishan told Liu Yimin not to forget his old brother. Whenever he passed through Shanxi, he must visit the Second War Zone Commander's Headquarters to reminisce about the past.
Liu Yimin thought about Yan Xishan, who was considered a talented person. If he abandoned the army and entered politics, he might still achieve something. Although the Jinsui Army he commanded was not effective in his own eyes, in the current Chinese army, it was worthy of its name.
The regular army also produced many anti-Japanese heroes. Before leaving, I still have to think of ways to remind him.
Standing at the end of the iron cable bridge, looking at the Yellow River rolling under the bridge, Liu Yimin waved Yan Xishan's entourage to retreat, and said in a deep voice: "Commander Yan, brother Yan, before I say goodbye, I want to say a few words from my heart. Please
You decide."
Yan Xishan was the same again: "Good brother, silly boy, just say whatever you have to say, my old man is listening!"
Just listen to Liu Yimin say: "The Yellow River rolls eastward, day and night, just like the development trend of the world. Any attempt to stop or resist the development trend will be washed away and turned into sand. Today, the world situation
Those who are turbulent, knowledgeable, courageous, and able to take action should see clearly that national independence and national liberation are the current world trends. Little Japan cannot see through this and wants to continue to enslave surrounding countries through aggressive wars. This is going against the world
As the tide moves, their fate is doomed. Brother Yan, you are a lifelong hero. Don't let the devil's temptations and the difficulties before you fool you. You also know that what I hate most are the devils and traitors.
None of the Japanese traitors who fell into my hands will be able to get a good deal. You lead the Shanxi-Sui Army to unite with our army to resist Japan and jointly create a new China. By then, you will be indispensable for titles and treatment such as national hero and national pride.
Yours, you may be able to do greater things. On the other hand, for the sake of you and me being able to talk to each other, let me say something unpleasant. If you are not strong-willed or cannot bear the suffering of the war, you will be obsessed with
If you protect the interests of the small group of the Jinsui Army and finally collude and compromise with the Japanese army secretly, then the Jinsui Army and Yan Baichuan will all turn into sand in the historical trend. You are a sensible person and should be able to figure this out.
reason."
Yan Xishan raised his head and looked directly at Liu Yimin: "Commander Liu, I am the commander-in-chief of the World War II area. There is no ambiguity in the war of resistance! The Jinsui Army insists on the war of resistance without ambiguity! What you said is right, but there is a threat in it.
My old man has never been threatened by anyone in my life! Mr. Liu, you are threatening and bewitching the commander, you are looking down on my old man!"
Liu Yimin's eyes flashed sharply, and he asked coldly: "Is there a spy sent by Yoshijiro Umezu in your commander's department? What is he here to do? As the highest commander in the World War II zone and the commander-in-chief of the North China battlefield, he and
Su Tiren, the pseudo-governor of Shanxi Province, exchanged letters and allowed Japanese spies to be stationed in the war zone commander's headquarters. What kind of behavior is this? How do you explain it to the thousands of brothers in Jiang Yuzhen's brigade who are holding on to the plain? How do you explain it to the heroes who died in the Xinkou battlefield? I
Let me tell you, I discovered the Japanese spy last night, and I should have shot him. Considering that it would make your commander look bad, I spared his life for the time being and left it to you to go back and deal with it."
Yan Xishan was not embarrassed, but asked: "I have locked him up, how could you still find him?"
Liu Yimin sneered.
Yan Xishan thought about it, Liu Yimin was so skilled, even if he searched his headquarters, the guards might not be able to find it. He shook his head and said: "There is indeed a Japanese spy, and he is indeed the commander of the Japanese First Army.
He was sent here through Su Tiren's liaison. He just wanted to see me and talk some nonsense about their Greater East Asia Holy War and Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Who am I, Yan Baichuan, how can I be fooled by the little devil? No, I am not
Have you locked him up? The two armies are fighting, and the envoy will not be killed. I am going to let him go back and send a message to the little devils. Come and fight if you have the guts. My old man is not afraid of them!"
Liu Yimin then said: "Okay, this is my good Chinese man, and this is the commander-in-chief of my World War II zone. Commander Yan, Brother Yan, as the rolling Yellow River testifies, the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army will join forces to face the enemy.
Drive the little Japs out of Shanxi and destroy them completely! Let’s say goodbye and see you on the battlefield tomorrow. Salute!”
Yan Xishan raised his hand to return the salute, then shook hands with Liu Yimin and said goodbye.
Looking at Liu Yimin's stalwart figure walking towards the other side, Yan Xishan's heart pounded. What on earth is going on with this guy? Even Lieutenant Commander Oya knew such secrets as coming to the Chief's Department. Could it be that there are people from the Eighth Route Army in the Chief's Department?
Yan Xishan, who couldn't figure it out, watched Liu Yimin quickly cross the chain bridge and lead his guards to the other side, then frowned and went back to Guxian melancholy.
