On the evening of December 29, 1934, the Central Guard Division set out from Zhongzhuang, Honghuagang, Zunyi, and headed for Maotai Town, Renhuai County, kicking off the Central Red Army's campaign over the Chengdu Plain.
Liu Yimin stood at the intersection, watching troops passing by one after another. Until the team from the field rescue center came over, he saw the seriously wounded and lightly wounded from the battles in Qingxi Town and Yangping Town being carried on stretchers, as well as doctors and nurses.
After they were all riding on mules, Liu Yimin turned his horse's head with confidence and rushed towards the front of the team.
As soon as they left the entrance of Zhongzhuang Village, they saw a group of cavalry rushing from the direction of Zunyi City, carrying torches and heading in their direction.
Liu Yimin thought to himself, there is no emergency at the headquarters, right? He just stopped and waited.
After a while, Wu Zheng caught up from behind, his eyes full of joy, and he shouted: "Commander, it's Chairman Mao, Vice Chairman Zhou, Commander-in-Chief Zhu and Comrade Luo Fu, the leaders are here to see us off!"
Liu Yimin put his legs under the horse's belly and stepped forward to greet him.
From a distance, I saw that Chairman Mao and his party had dismounted and met Cai Zhong and the others.
Liu Yimin jumped off his horse, ran forward quickly, saluted and said hello.
Mao Zedong said: "Comrade Liu Yimin, we have a long way to go and a long way to go! Everything depends on your flexibility and determination. When necessary, you can send troops to distract the enemy. The Ninth Army Corps has already taken action here, trying to attract
The main force of the Sichuan Army on the South Road and the Fourth Front Army on the North Road are also ready for action. Xiangxi He Long and Xiao Ke are also actively moving
Move. The 1st, 3rd, and 5th Army Corps have concentrated their forces and are ready to annihilate the enemy's pursuing troops at any time and confine the enemy to the front line of northern Guizhou. After you succeed in attacking Chengdu, you must quickly divide your forces to occupy the counties and key points near Chengdu to welcome the main force heading north. If
If an accident occurs, the troops must move quickly and look for fighter opportunities in the movement, and must not collide head-on with the enemy's main force."
After speaking, Mao Zedong turned to Cai Zhong, Feng Dafei, and Huang Su: "Comrade Cai Zhong, Comrade Dafei, and Comrade Huang Su, I emphasize once again that the battle of the guard division is decided by Comrade Liu Yimin. You must obey orders and follow the command, and master it well."
troops to ensure the realization of the central government’s strategic intentions.”
The wart on Cai Zhong's brow was shining black under the light of the torch, and he looked more energetic. He shouted loudly: "Please rest assured, Chairman, I will assist the division commander in commanding the troops and resolutely complete the tasks assigned by the Central Committee to the guard division."
Task!"
Feng Dafei and Huang Su also expressed their determination to obey orders and ensure the completion of their tasks.
Mao Zedong nodded with satisfaction: "I believe that the guard division will be able to fulfill its glorious mission."
Mr. Zhu looked at Liu Yimin kindly and explained: "The key is concealment and camouflage. After occupying Yibin, quickly go north without entangled with the enemy all the way. Resolutely not fight if you can, and go straight to Chengdu. Once Chengdu is occupied, stand
It's stable, it's up to you whoever you want to fight. Don't be so angry for a moment that you only focus on how many enemies you can kill on the road and forget about the mission of capturing Chengdu."
Liu Yimin nodded: "I know."
Vice Chairman Zhou said: "Comrade Liu Yimin and Comrade Cai Zhong, when they can tell the soldiers the goal of this march, they must make it clear to everyone the importance of our army's operation. They must tell party members and cadres to overcome all difficulties and quickly
Occupying Chengdu is the greatest loyalty to the party at this stage."
Liu Yimin and Cai Zhong saluted Vice Chairman Zhou together: "Yes, follow Vice Chairman Zhou's instructions."
Seeing that it was getting late, and everything he wanted to explain was done, Mao Zedong waved his hand: "Let's go, see you in Chengdu!"
After Liu Yimin and others said goodbye to the leaders, they set off. Looking at the mighty guard division, Zhang Wentian, who had been silent, spoke: "Lao Mao, Enlai, boss, I think the guard division can be upgraded to a legion."
Mr. Zhu’s eyes have been following the team of the guard division. He watched the cavalry, artillery, infantry, engineers, and baggage troops passing by in groups. His eyes were a little moist. After listening to Zhang Wentian’s words, Mr. Zhu received: "
They are actually a legion, and they are a first-class main legion."
Zhou Enlai said excitedly: "Everyone, think about it, what will Chiang Kai-shek and Liu Xiang's expressions be when a powerful guard division suddenly appears on the Chengdu Plain?"
Mao Zedong said: "Why don't you think about it? He must have fallen to the ground with a pale face! Let's go back to the city, guys." After that, Liu led everyone to unhorse their horses and return to Zunyi City.
Liu Yimin became more and more fond of marching at night. Without enemy plane harassment, the troops could advance along the main road, which accelerated the marching speed and reduced the difficulty of marching.
The soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade of the Secret Service Battalion had already set off with the guide, leaving road signs along the way to guide the troops' actions.
The first legion has already occupied Renhuai. From Zunyi to Renhuai, there is no need to worry about ambushes by large groups of enemies. When small groups of scattered enemies see such a large marching team, they have already stayed far away and do not dare to attack the tiger lightly.
Therefore, although the mountain road was difficult to walk, the overall situation of the march was still satisfactory.
At dawn, the troops arrived at Renhuai County and met up with the First Army Corps. Commander Lin Biao and political commissar Nie Rongzhen personally arranged for the guard division to camp. Liu Yimin was not polite and ordered the troops to disperse and camp according to the arrangements of the First Army Corps, and ordered the artillery regiment to stay
The first battalion of downhill artillery and mortars was put under the command of the first corps.
At noon, the troops ended their campsite and continued to advance toward Maotai Town.
Maotai Town is located on the beautiful Chishui River.
It is said that as early as the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Maotai Town produced the "sweet sauce-flavored" wolfberry sauce wine that fascinated Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it became famous. In the 27th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, that is, in 1599, the Wanli Emperor was exterminated.
After the Yang family in Bozhou, the Wu family who accompanied the army settled in Maotai Town and established the first
A formal brewing workshop. During the Jiaqing and Daoguang years of the Qing Dynasty, there were more than 20 Moutai breweries in the town, and their products were exported to Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Hunan. In 1915, the Beiyang government sent Moutai to the San Francisco International Exposition in the United States.
Exhibiting at the exhibition, foreigners saw that it was wine in earthenware cans
, simply dismissive of it. In desperation, a Beiyang government official grabbed a can of Moutai and threw it to the ground. At this moment, the strong aroma of the wine conquered everyone present. Moutai also won the Panama Prize.
Winning the gold medal at the World Exposition, it became a world-famous wine.
At that time, there were three professional brewing workshops in Maotai Town: "Chengyi Shaofang", "Ronghe Shaofang" and "Hengxing Shaofang". The Moutai of Chengyi Shaofang was commonly known as Huamao, and the Moutai of Ronghe Shaofang was commonly known as Huamao.
The Maotai liquor of Wangmao and Hengxing Shaofang is commonly known as Laimao. The annual output of the three Shaofang is less than 30,000 kilograms.
In the evening, the ancient town of Maotai is shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun, looking even more primitive and ancient.
The pier was filled with boats that came from afar to transport wine. Because there is an ancient saying that Chishui never travels at night, the boatmen all docked early, went ashore to drink and rest.
At this time, the special brigade of the leading force of the Central Guard Division of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and the regiment, battalion and company entered the ancient town one after another. Then, the guard division brigade entered the ancient town, and the quiet ancient town immediately became lively.
When approaching Maotai Town, Liu Yimin smelled the strong aroma of wine in the air. Thinking about the hundreds or even thousands of prices for a bottle of Maotai liquor in later generations and the strong stock price, Liu Yimin told Wu Zheng to give each soldier a silver dollar to spend on
Buy wine. But don't drink too much, so as not to affect the march at night. Li Qing also asked Li Qing to order the troops not to destroy any facilities in the town, including wine tanks, wine jars, and wine bottles.
After entering Maotai Town, except for the small troops who controlled the ferry and served as guard, the troops of the guard division quickly dispersed to rest and prepare for dinner under the guidance of the soldiers from the special brigade who arrived in advance. Many soldiers took the silver coins they had just received.
Buy wine in town.
Liu Yimin ordered the engineering corps to quickly build two pontoon bridges using ferries.
People in the ancient town suddenly found a large army marching in quietly, and looked at the team with surprised eyes: gray military uniforms, octagonal hats, red hat badges, red collar badges, dusty, as if they had walked a long way.
The merchants who arrived immediately wanted to close their doors quickly to avoid being robbed by the army. Ordinary people also called their children and hurriedly came to close their homes.
Soon, the people stopped panicking. This army was different from the armies that passed by in the past. They did not enter the people's yards and were scattered in piles in open spaces and fields in the town. Soon there were soldiers coming to buy wine with money.
God, instead of grabbing wine and stuff, the soldiers bought it with money. This is new.
So, the businessmen first smiled and started chatting with the Red Army soldiers who were buying wine. This chat, the purpose and nature of the Red Army, and the purpose of going north to fight against Japan spread in the town.
At that time, Maotai liquor was hidden deep in the mountains and was very cheap. A pound of wine cost only a few copper coins. Each Red Army soldier had one silver dollar, which was a lot of purchasing power. In addition, the production of Maotai liquor was limited. For a time, many stores sold the liquor.
The tank was empty, and I was busy going to the brewery to pick up the wine.
As soon as Boss Hua of Chengyi Shaofang, the largest restaurant in the town, heard that the army had entered the town, he panicked and didn't know what to do. He hurriedly told the clerks to close the door and hide the wine. He was afraid that if he didn't move too slowly, the hard work of several generations would be over.
.
After working for a long time, no soldiers came to harass me. Boss Hua was a little surprised. Could it be that this army had left? Soon, the people carrying wine in the store arrived, and there was an endless stream. Boss Hua thought, this is really strange.
In previous years, it would have been a disaster for the army to pass by. Could it be that today's army is the God of Wealth descending to earth or the incarnation of a Bodhisattva? Why don't they rob or kill, but instead give away a lot of money?
After asking a shop owner who came to pick up the wine, I found out that the people who came were the Red Army, and that the Red Army protected industry and commerce. Boss Hua thought that it was really the army of benevolence and righteousness that could do nothing to protect the poor and industry and commerce since ancient times.
I am afraid that only the troops of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty can do this. It seems that this is a large army with ambitions for the world. It is also an opportunity to see such an army in my life. He hurriedly asked the guys to kill pigs and bottle wine, and he wanted to express his condolences.
Red Army.
As soon as Liu Yimin saw that the troops were settled, he asked Zhang Haitao and Li Chengyi to buy more wine and deliver it to the field ambulance. He and Cai Zhong went to the field ambulance to visit the wounded.
When they arrived at the field rescue center, they saw the director Chen Tong leading the medical staff to wipe the wounds of the wounded with wine. Liu Yimin was shocked. The purpose of his visit was to ask the doctors to wipe the wounds of the wounded with wine to reduce inflammation. He did not expect that Chen Tong
Self-taught without a teacher, I have already done it.
When he saw the division commander and the political commissar coming, Chen Tong quickly reported and saluted. Liu Yimin said: "Director Chen, you have worked hard all the way. Do you have any difficulties?"
Chen Tong was a doctor of the former 5th Red Division. After being rescued by Liu Yimin in Xinwei, he had been following the operations of the 18th Regiment. He respected Liu Yimin very much for the simple reason that Liu Yimin never abandoned the wounded. You must know that the Red Army was in a
During transfer, take the wounded with you
It affects the marching speed of the troops. If the marching speed is slow, it is easy for the enemy to catch up. Therefore, during the war years, the wounded Red Army soldiers were basically placed in the homes of ordinary people to recuperate. Many of them were later caught by the white bandits, and it is conceivable that they sacrificed their lives.
ending.
Since meeting Liu Yimin, this Red Army unit has always taken the wounded away no matter how difficult it is. According to Liu Yimin, the lives of the Red Army soldiers are the most precious. They would rather bring less supplies than the wounded. They take good care of them.
Wounds are the backbone. One person may be able to lead a platoon, a company, or even a battalion or a regiment in the future.
In addition, from the 18th Regiment to the Guard Division, this unit has won consecutive battles, captured large quantities of goods, and has no need to worry about medicine. Most of the wounded recovered quickly, so it is easy for this doctor to be a doctor.
Hearing the teacher ask himself, Chen Tong reported: "Thank you, teacher, for your concern. There are no difficulties for the time being. It's just that there are a few medical staff. It would be better if we could add more people."
Liu Yimin said: "The medical staff will be available soon. You don't need to think about this issue. I will remember it. By the way, how do you know that wiping the wounds of the wounded with wine can reduce inflammation?"
Chen Tong smiled: "Sir, I don't know, but most doctors know. Wine contains alcohol, which can not only reduce inflammation, but also promote blood circulation and remove blood clots. Soaking your feet in wine will make you walk very briskly. Unfortunately, this wine is so good
, it’s also too expensive and we can’t afford it.”
Liu Yimin said: "I have asked the guard camp to buy wine, and it will be delivered to you in a moment. You think of bringing more, and wipe the wounds of the wounded when camping on the road."
Before he finished speaking, a wounded man was heard shouting: "I won't wipe it, take it away, take it away quickly!"
The voice sounded familiar to Liu Yimin. When he walked over and took a look, he realized that it was Niu Liangzi, an old Red Army soldier who took the lead in complaining to the new recruits during the army reorganization in Xiyan. He said, "Niu Liangzi, why don't you let your comrades wipe your wounds?"
?”
When he saw it was the division commander, Niu Liangzi raised his body on the stretcher and sat up, and said: "Reporting to the division commander, Niu Liangzi, the platoon leader of the eighth company of the third battalion, is reporting to you that my wound is not in the way. This wine is so expensive. Give it to other people."
Just wipe the seriously injured, I'll just be patient and be fine."
Liu Yimin looked at the injured part, which was on his abdomen. Chen Tong said hurriedly: "Report to the division commander, Comrade Niu Liangzi is very brave. The bullet broke his intestines and he was unconscious when he was lifted off. After the operation, the effect is good, and now
The recovery is also very good.”
When Liu Yimin heard this, he asked Chen Tong: "Who performed the operation?"
Chen Tong said: "I did it to report to the teacher."
Cai Zhong interjected: "The teacher may not know that Comrade Chen Tong once went to Germany to study surgery. He also speaks fluent German."
Liu Yimin thought, this Red Army team is really a collection of talents, and he doesn't know how many surprises are waiting for him. He said to Chen Tong: "Thank you, Comrade Chen Tong. I'll give you a task, and you can list a need for me later."
Medical equipment and medicine list. During the next battle, priority will be given to the materials and equipment needed for field medical care."
Chen Tong said: "Teacher, this is what you said, I am not causing trouble for you. So I am going to join the list now?"
Liu Yimin said: "Go ahead, I'll wait."
Chen Tong immediately went to find paper and pen. Liu Yimin leaned down, helped Niu Liangzi lie down on the stretcher, and said patiently: "Brother Comrade, you are an old Red Army soldier and a hero. You must take the lead in everything.
Since wiping wounds with wine is useful, we will do it no matter how expensive it is. When you are healed, wouldn’t it be enough to go to the front line and kill more enemies and seize more? Why can’t you settle the bill? "
Niu Liangzi had tears rolling out of his eyes and nodded.
Liu Yimin joked: "Hey, our fighting hero is still crying! When you are healed, I will wear a big red flower for you, so don't cry anymore!"
Niu Liangzi was amused and laughed, and the medical soldier next to him quickly came up to help him wipe the wound.
When Liu Yimin and Cai Zhong returned to the temporary residence of the division headquarters, they met Boss Hua from Chengyi Shaofang.
When Boss Hua saw it, he found that the division headquarters of the Red Army was located in a house with the cover removed in the town. There was a broken table found from nowhere, and there were moved stones around the table. The Red Army officers were sitting there.
on the stones around the table.
Boss Hua has seen the world. The Moutai wine that won the award in Panama is the "Shuangde brand" Moutai produced by his Chengyi Shaofang. This is also the source of Moutai, the national liquor that has become famous in later generations. At first sight
Red Army officers would rather
Working and resting in such a harsh environment, and unwilling to disturb the people, Boss Hua knew that his guess was correct. This was a force with great ambitions and strict discipline. Compared with them, Chairman Wang's Guizhou Army was simply a bandit.
I heard that the owner of Chengyi Shaofang came to offer condolences. Cai Zhong and the others didn't know the twists and turns under the Moutai brand, but Liu Yimin knew very well that this was the authentic Moutai. The owner came and hurriedly got up to greet him.
Boss Hua clasped his fists: "Sir, sir, the army has come a long way and it's been hard work. I'm just preparing a small gift. It's not respectful, but I hope you'll accept it." After saying that, with a wave of his hand, the guys came in carrying wine and two big pigs that had been cleaned up.
.
Cai Zhong hurriedly said: "Boss Hua, our Red Army has discipline and cannot take advantage of the masses. You'd better take these things back!"
Boss Hua said: "Is it possible that the sir feels that there are too few things? We are in a hurry. We are not in a hurry. I will prepare another small gift tomorrow. I hope the sir is not surprised!"
Cai Zhong said: "Boss Hua has misunderstood. It's not that there is a shortage of things, but that our Red Army has discipline and cannot accept your gift."
Boss Hua said: "When the army is here, there will be no danger of autumn. The officers have to pay for the wine. Xiaohao has been professionally making wine for a long time. This is the Maotai liquor that Xiaoxiao participated in and won the gold medal at the Panama International Exposition in the United States.
, I specially brought it as a treat
The officers tasted it. It can be regarded as promoting the reputation of Xiaohao's wine. Please don't refuse, sir. If the officers don't accept these thin wines, outsiders will know about it and think that the quality of Xiaohao's wine is not good. If word spreads, it may
Affecting trumpet business."
When Liu Yimin heard this, he knew that Boss Hua was not a simple man. He spoke thoughtfully, was thoughtful, and was full of enthusiasm. He said: "Political Commissar, since Boss Hua is so enthusiastic, our army has a policy of protecting and supporting the development and growth of national industry. I
Look, you can accept the things. In this case, Boss Hua, I won’t drink your wine for nothing. I’ll go get the rice paper and I’ll write an inscription on it for you to help make your Maotai liquor famous. What do you think?”
Boss Hua's eyes almost squinted when he smiled. He said "ok" repeatedly and told the waiter to quickly get pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
Liu Yimin asked Li Chengyi to collect the things and distribute the pork to the troops. He took Boss Hua to sit on a stone and inquired in detail about Chengyi's output and sales.
Boss Hua briefly introduced the situation at Cheng Yihao, and then said: "Sir, how about we talk while drinking."
Liu Yimin asked Li Chengyi to find a few bowls and open a jar of wine. As soon as he opened the jar, the fragrance of Moutai hit his nostrils. Several people praised "good wine" and divided the wine into one bowl for each person. They drank and chatted.
.
After a while, the waiter ran all the way and brought pen and ink and rice paper. Liu Yimin was not polite, spread the paper on the table, and moved the pen with his wrist hanging. The four big cursive characters of "National Liquor Moutai" jumped out on the paper, and Cai Zhong, Feng Dafei, Huang
Su, Liu Jianli, Li Qing, Wu Zheng, Boss Hua and others applauded in unison. Then Liu Yimin wrote on the side note like a flying pen, inscribing a poem of seven unique poems: "The famous mountains and beautiful waters give birth to Maotai, and the rain cage
The mist covers the sauce and the fragrance blooms. Hundreds of distillations are distilled and steamed into fine nectar, and the reputation of the wine is passed down from generation to generation." Then he wrote: On the evening of December 30, 1934, I stayed overnight in Maotai during the Long March. I received the title of Chengyi as a gift from Mr. Hua.
Maotai wine is like nectar and jade liquid when drunk, so I wrote an inscription and a poem as a souvenir. If I can visit the ancient town again one day, I will drink three hundred glasses of wine. Liu Yimin, commander of the Central Guard Division of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, recorded it in Maotai Town, Kweichow.
Only then did Boss Hua learn that the designation of this Red Army unit was the Central Guard Division, and that the division commander was Liu Yimin, the heroic young general who had written inscriptions and poems for him.
Boss Hua picked up the inscription, pondered it carefully, and then read the poem again, shaking his head and reciting: "The famous mountains and beautiful waters are pregnant with Maotai. The rain and mist cover the sauce and the fragrance blooms. Hundreds of distillates are distilled and distilled into fine wine. The reputation of the wine is passed down from generation to generation."
After chanting, he thought about the meaning of "National Liquor Moutai" several times, and asked Liu Yimin excitedly: "General Liu, you mean that my Moutai is the national liquor and can represent China, right?"
Liu Yimin nodded.
Boss Hua asked again: "General Liu's poem said that the reputation of fine wine will be passed down from generation to generation. Does this mean that my Moutai liquor will one day prosper in the future?"
Liu Yimin said: "Of course, it is the national wine. It will be fragrant for generations!"
Boss Hua bowed his head and bowed, which made Liu Yimin panic and Cai Zhong help him together.
Boss Hua said: "Sirs, you don't know that General Liu's inscription confirms the status of our Moutai liquor in the liquor making industry, which is very noble. The famous mountains and beautiful waters in this poem are pregnant with Moutai, which not only refers to the geographical environment of the ancient town of Moutai,
Also, the reason why Moutai liquor is so good is its geographical advantage. The rain and mist cover it with the aroma of soy sauce, which explains the climate characteristics of Maotai Town and the aroma of soy sauce.
This is the name of the fragrance of Maotai liquor, also called Maoxiang. The water we use to make liquor here is Chishui River. This water is slightly sweet in the mouth and has no impurities. It is the best water in the world. At the same time, Maotai Town is among the mountains, and is surrounded by water all day long.
It is shrouded in clouds and fog, with high temperatures lasting up to five months all year round. It is hot and humid for most of the year. This Maotai liquor can only be made here. You can change it anywhere.
The taste is different when made. My ancestors were attracted by the magic here, so they moved here from the south of the Yangtze River to make wine. I am not playing the trumpet, but the trumpet wine is definitely the first-class wine in China. This is made by hundreds of distillations and thousands of distillations.
The word "qiongjiang" refers to the complicated and strict production process of my Moutai liquor. To be honest, everyone who looks at the wine in my wine warehouse must be neatly dressed and clean.
, not to mention other workers and winemakers. My annual output is only 15,000 to 18,000 jins. It’s not that I don’t want to produce more, but that I can’t make more. My wine must be stored for more than four years before I can make it again.
It is blended with wine that has been brewed for twenty, thirty, and forty years before it is put on the market for sale. Therefore, as the saying goes, a hundred distillations and a thousand distillations make fine wine, and the small wine is worthy of it."
Cai Zhong said: "It turns out to be so complicated!"
Huang Su asked: "Do the other two produce more?"
Boss Hua shook his head: "The trumpet among the three has the longest time and the highest output."
Liu Yimin smiled and said: "Boss Hua, with your explanation, I feel that it is a pity that I drank such a good wine!"
Boss Hua waved his hands repeatedly: "No! No! General Liu is our confidant in the wine industry. As the saying goes, a thousand cups are too little for a confidant. How can you say that? I decided to give General Liu 10% of my dry stock with my Chengyi number.
, from now on you will be one of the shareholders of Chengyi Shuangde brand Moutai. General Liu, please do not refuse."
As soon as he said this, Liu Yimin and Cai Zhong looked at each other, feeling incredible.
Liu Jianli thought, the teacher is so amazing. After writing a few words and composing a few poems, he became a shareholder of Moutai. Doesn’t that mean he has become a capitalist? This is not okay and must not be accepted. So,
Without waiting for Liu Yimin to reply, Liu Jianshe said directly: "Boss Hua, thank you for your kindness. Our teacher cannot accept the shares you donated, otherwise he will make a mistake."
Liu Yimin was so angry that he wanted to kick Liu Jianshe in the face. Think about it, if he wins in the future and flaps his butterfly wings, maybe there will be a stock market early. By then, Moutai will definitely be a big bull stock, 10%
How much wealth is there in stocks? This Liu Jianli didn’t say what he should say and said what he shouldn’t say.
When Boss Hua heard what Liu Jianli said, he knew that the Red Army might have strict discipline, and said regretfully: "If General Liu can't accept the shares of the trumpet, then so be it. From now on, the trumpet will guarantee to supply General Liu 200 kilograms every year."
Wine, no matter where General Liu is stationed, Xiao Xiao will ask someone to find a way to deliver it."
At this time, Liu Yimin stopped waiting for others to speak and said quickly: "Thank you, Boss Hua!" Boss Hua happily took the words and left, and the Red Army also started eating.
After dinner, Liu Yimin took Li Chengyi for a walk around Maotai Ancient Town.
The towers were vague in the depths, and I knew that this was after all a holy place for wine making, where merchants gathered, and it was relatively wealthy. I thought that after defeating the Japanese devils and the reactionary Kuomintang regime in the future, we must find ways to vigorously develop the economy and correct the historical detours taken during Chairman Mao's era.
, to make the people rich as soon as possible. High-quality national resources such as Moutai liquor must be vigorously explored and integrated to form a leading brand.
Go to the international market as soon as possible.
As I was thinking about it, I turned to the camping area of the first camp and saw that most of the soldiers were soaking their feet with wine. Some soldiers were soaking their feet in wine while saying, "It's so fun, so fucking fun!"
Wang Dahu held an earthenware basin, found a stone to sit on, took a can of wine, poured it in, and then put his scarred feet in.
Perhaps the frostbite wound had burst, and Wang Dahu was so painful that he burst into tears.
Liu Yimin looked funny and walked over and said, "Wang Dahu, how does it taste? Is it good?"
As soon as he saw the division commander coming, Wang Dahu wanted to stand up and salute, but the other soldiers also stopped talking.
Liu Yimin held Wang Dahu down and asked him to continue soaking.
Wang Dahu asked: "Teacher, what do you mean by feeling happy or not?"
When Liu Yimin heard this, he thought, damn, he let it slip. The day before yesterday, Hu Di asked him what Shuang meant, and today Wang Dahu asked again, so he should pay attention to his wording in the future. He said angrily: "Shuang means very beautiful, very good.
Meaning. Do you know how Chen Guangzhong, the commander of the 63rd Division, died?"
Wang Dahu said: "The one we shot to death?"
Liu Yimin said: "Wrong, he is so stupid!"
Wang Dahu knew that the teacher was trying to make him laugh by saying he was stupid, so he didn't mind. He turned to Liu Yimin and said: "Sir, I have something to report to you. My instructor has always been vacant. I want to send Wang Xinyun, the former instructor of the first company, to
Transfer him back to work for me. What do you think?"
Liu Yimin said: "Wang Xinyun went to Jiuying last time. Can he leave?"
Wang Dahu said: "I don't care, my first battalion cannot be without an instructor. Please ask the division commander to bring him back."
Liu Yimin thought about it and said, "Where is your group leader?"
Wang Dahu immediately shouted: "Correspondent, go report to the regiment leader and political commissar that the division commander is here."
By the time Gao Yuan and Zhao Jie came over, Wang Dahu had already soaked his feet and stood respectfully next to Liu Yimin.
Liu Yimin stopped the two men from saluting and asked directly: "The army is going to fight soon. Are all the cadres of each battalion in your camp ready?"
Gao Yuan said: "Everything else is in place. The first battalion is short of an instructor and the second battalion is short of a battalion commander."
Liu Yimin said: "This time the headquarters supports so many cadres, why not give priority to the first and second battalions?"
Gao Yuan said: "It's like this. There is a gap between the headquarters and the original cadres in tactics and ideology, and it will take time to make up. I discussed with the political commissar and were about to report to you. Wang Xinyun, who wanted to transfer out the regiment, and Zhao Dahe also transferred
return."
Liu Yimin immediately interrupted him: "What time has it been? The main battalion has not yet been equipped with cadres. If you are always asked to serve as the general manager, it will affect the overall situation of your command. In this case, you go tell Li Qing and say what I said. Immediately transfer Wang Xinyun to
The first battalion will serve as instructor, and Zhao Dahe will be transferred back to the second battalion as battalion commander. Let them report now without delay for any reason! Their vacant positions will be discussed later."
After Gao Yuan and Zhao Jie saluted, they went to find Li Qing.
After leaving the first camp, I saw soldiers soaking their feet in wine everywhere along the way, which attracted the common people to point at them.
Liu Yimin wanted to stop him, but after thinking about it, he decided to let it go. No matter how precious the wine was, it was not as precious as the lives and bodies of the Red Army soldiers. Medicines were scarce, and the troops could not get a good rest. Soaking their feet with wine was impossible. In the future, Chiang Kai-shek would
Let him say whatever the newspaper wants. Anyway, it is impossible to rely on Chiang Kai-shek to promote Moutai. As long as the revolution is victorious, the Red Army soldiers soaking their feet in Moutai will become a legend, and it will also add luster to Moutai.
Woolen cloth!
When they returned to the division headquarters, they saw Tang Xingying tinkering with a wine jar. Liu Yimin asked her what she was doing. The girl said that alcohol could be made from Maotai liquor, and she was thinking about how to make it.
Liu Yimin said: "No, we can still seize the alcohol. This wine is very good. Let's keep it to entertain guests in the future."
Tang Xingying was a little reluctant and said, "I really have a way to extract alcohol from Moutai. Can you let me try it?"
Liu Yimin thought to himself, let's give it a try. I am a top student at Peking University. It is easy to extract alcohol from wine. However, if you use Moutai, which will be difficult to obtain for many years to come, to extract alcohol, unless I have a brain problem, otherwise
, don’t even think about it!
Thinking about it in his mind, Liu Yimin still said: "The troops are leaving soon. When things are stable, you can conduct experiments again. Go ahead, pack your things and get ready to go."
Tang Xingying had no choice but to agree and walked out. As soon as she walked not far away, she heard Liu Yimin shouting: "Come back!" Tang Xingying immediately ran back, thinking about letting him conduct experiments again.
Liu Yimin stared at Tang Xingying for a long time, until Tang Xingying fainted and her cheeks fainted. Then Liu Yimin said: "In the future, whether marching or fighting, you will follow me. Li Chengyi will be responsible for your safety."
Tang Xingying thought she heard wrongly and asked in a trembling voice: "Is what you said true?"
Liu Yimin nodded affirmatively.
Tang Xingying was immediately happy, said "Thank you", covered her face and ran away.
Looking at Tang Xingying's back, Liu Yimin wondered if he was too selfish. Thinking again, during the war years, lesbians could only be safe if they always followed the main force. Since this girl was interested in him and was so good, no matter what, he
You have to protect her and not leave any regrets. Just be selfish. You are not a saint anyway. Being able to protect a woman who likes you is an achievement!
Looking at the watch, it was almost time, so he ordered Li Chengyi to send someone to notify Li Lingfeng, Wang Tongsheng, and Wang Dahu to accept the task.
When Li Lingfeng, Wang Tongsheng, and Wang Dahu arrived at the division headquarters, they saw Liu Yimin looking up at the sky with his hands behind his back. They were afraid of disturbing the division commander and did not dare to say anything.
After waiting for a while, Liu Yimin turned around, looked at the three of them and said, "Now there is a top-secret mission that requires the three of you to complete. Are you confident?"
The three people didn't even think about it and shouted directly: "Yes!"
Liu Yimin nodded happily: "You three are leading the most elite troops of our division. Looking at the country, there is no problem if one is equal to ten. Originally, I wanted to lead you personally to carry out this mission, but it is impossible for me to do so now.
You are both my comrades-in-arms, comrades, and to a certain extent, the students I brought up. Your actions are almost as good as mine. I believe you will be able to complete the mission."
The three people shouted in unison: "Please rest assured, Commander, and promise to complete the mission!"
Liu Yimin's expression changed: "Order: Organize a special operations detachment into a special agent battalion, a regiment and a battalion. Li Lingfeng will serve as the captain, Wang Tongsheng will serve as the deputy captain, and Wang Dahu will also serve as the political commissar. The combat mission of the special operations detachment is to open the door for the division's rapid column to enter Chengdu.
The first step is to set off tonight, capture and quickly control Gulin County in the early morning of tomorrow
There is currently no regular army in Gulin County, only a militia group of more than 1,000 people belonging to Hou Zhidan. The method is for the special operations brigade to climb over the city wall under cover of night. After succeeding, the city gate will be opened, the sniper brigade will cover it, and the first battalion will be ready for fire support and assault.
.The second step is to put on Sichuan Army uniforms in Gulin, disguise as Sichuan Army, and make a surprise attack on Yibin.
I led the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd regiments and the cavalry battalion to follow up as your backup. After occupying Yibin, our army divided into two groups, with the special operations detachment as the leader. I led the cavalry battalion, an artillery battalion, an engineer battalion, and a baggage battalion.
The battalion and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd regiments formed a rapid column, disguised as Sichuan troops, and launched a surprise attack on Chengdu. The political commissar and Deputy Division Commander Feng led others
The troops followed up later. This task is very arduous, and the requirements must not be flawless. I have asked Zhong Zanda, the political commissar of the new corps, to select 24 old Red Army soldiers from Sichuan, 6 of whom will go with you, and the other 18 will go with the large army.
If you need to deal with Sichuan people on the road, they will take charge of it. Do you understand the mission?"
When the three of them heard that the army was going to attack Chengdu, they said, "Hey, that's the provincial capital of Sichuan and Liu Xiang's hometown!" They were so excited that they immediately shouted: "I understand, I promise to complete the mission!"
Liu Yimin further explained: "We are certain to win this time in Chengdu because Liu Xiang's main forces are all concentrated in northern and southern Sichuan to deal with the Fourth Front Army and the Central Red Army respectively. The troops near Chengdu are empty and there is no opponent for our guard division. The key is
There are three points, meaning
Speed, the second is concealment and camouflage, and the third is confidentiality. When you go back, don't tell anyone about the mission, just lead the troops. Don't tell the soldiers the final goal of this battle until Leshan. Here is a map of Sichuan, and what I drew
Get the road map."
The three people took the map and looked at it with torches. The marks on it were clearly marked. They raised their hands and saluted and said goodbye to the division commander.
When they parted, Liu Yimin also told him to bring more radio stations and choose a guide. The three agreed and went to implement it.
Liu Yimin asked Li Chengyi to inform the political commissar that they were back and ordered the troops to prepare for departure.
An hour later, units of the Central Guard Division crossed the Chishui River on the pontoon bridge built by the engineering corps, entered the border of southern Sichuan, and rushed towards Gulin County.
Standing by the Chishui River, Liu Yimin had an unreal feeling: The troops just passed Maotai Town and crossed the Chishui River, as if they were on a business trip somewhere in later generations, coming and going in a hurry, without taking away a single cloud.
.
However, I still gained something. At least I tasted the original Moutai liquor from the Republic of China, got to know Mr. Hua, the owner of Moutai liquor, and even left a calligraphy treasure. This can be regarded as evidence that Liu Yimin came here.
Looking back, I took another look at the ancient town of Maotai in the night. The lights were bright and dim, which made people daydream. Then I listened to the sound of the gurgling Chishui River, which was like an ancient folk song sung by a poet. It remains unchanged. After leaving, we still
Will be back.
Liu Yimin gathered his thoughts and rode towards the team in the night.
