"Thousands of hibiscus wrap around the Milky Way, showing off the evergreen green of the eastern sky. It's good that spring has come and the new rain has passed, and the flowers are fragrant and the white clouds are abundant."
These four lines of poetry are poems used by the ancients to describe the spring beauty of Meng Mountain. However, it is late autumn at this time, and the leaves are turning from green to yellow.
Words cannot describe the magnificent mountains and rivers.
Chen Yaoguang's cemetery is on the west side of Longevity Palace, backed by Meng Mountain and facing Meng Yang River, surrounded by lush forests, bamboos, pines and cypresses.
When Liu Yimin arrived at the cemetery, it was afternoon, and the sun was shining on the Mengyang River, making the water as bright as brocade.
It seems that the Japanese invaders had never been here when they were sweeping the cemetery. The cemetery was not damaged and the tombstones were as neat and clean as ever.
Liu Yimin walked to the tombstone, gently stroked the white lotus on the top of the tombstone, and softly shouted "Yaoguang, Yaoguang" twice. In an instant, the grievances in his belly suddenly surged up, and his throat felt heavy.
, a mouthful of hot blood spurted out, hitting the tombstone, rendering the tombstone red and white, especially charming.
Zhao Xiaoman and several guards rushed forward to help Liu Yimin, but he waved to stop him.
Liu Yimin rested against the tombstone for a while, then staggered to the pine tree next to him, folded some soft branches, made them into a wreath shape, walked back and placed them under the tombstone, then sat down on the ground and reached out to wipe the blood from the corners of his mouth.
, took out the cigarette, struck a match, lit the cigarette, and smoked it quietly.
Only when Liu Yimin vomited blood did Zhao Xiaoman realize that Liu Yimin was in such pain. Seeing Liu Yimin staggeringly breaking off pine branches to make a wreath, Zhao Xiaoman's heart felt like a knife, and he sat on the ground and cried.
Liu Yimin's face was pale and he sat smoking heavily, as if he wanted to swallow all the depression in his heart.
When the soldiers of the first company of guards saw their leader vomiting blood on the tombstone, they were so frightened that they kept silent. They could only keep a tight vigil around the cemetery and did not dare to let out a breath.
Liu Yimin smoked several cigarettes, then stood up, walked to the Mengyang River, gargled his mouth with river water in his hands, then washed his face, squatted by the river and was stunned for a while, then stood up and walked back
Cemetery, reaching out to pull Zhao Xiaoman.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, he heard Zhao Xiaoman sobbing in a low voice: "Sister Yaoguang, Tang Xingying is blessed, Ni Hua is also blessed, even you and Sister Jingjing are blessed, and he sacrificed himself and let him do this
I'm thinking about you. I'm the only poor person in the world. He turns a blind eye to me and pretends he hasn't seen me. Sister Yaoguang, why do you think I have such a miserable life?"
Liu Yimin's heart twitched, and he reached out to pull Zhao Xiaoman up, gently wiping away the tears on her face with his hands, and then walked around the cemetery again, clearing away the weeds on the grave. Then he stood in front of the grave and whispered softly
Said: "Yaoguang, I'm going to fight the Japanese. As long as I don't die, I will come to see you next year. The scenery here is nice, so you can have a good rest here. Let me tell you, it is a good thing to sacrifice.
I don’t have to suffer anymore, I don’t have to be bullied anymore, I don’t have to be full of thoughts and have nothing to say. You are happier than me. After you die, there are still people who dream about you and miss you, for fear that you will be bullied in heaven. Although I am alive
, but the life is very tiring. You have to fight not only the Japanese, but also the diehards. You have to keep your eyes open when sleeping. In the blink of an eye, you will be plotted by your own people. If you are alive, you will follow me and be afraid, and you will not enjoy the blessings.
.I tell you, Tang Xingying took her children to the Soviet Union. I don’t know when she will come back. No one informed me. I think it’s probably because Tang Xingying doesn’t want to come back. She doesn’t want to follow me and look at other people’s eyes.
I listened to other people's gossip and was wronged by others. Ni Hua dragged her pregnancy to the United States and won a lot of American aid for the Nationalist Government. Chiang Kai-shek neither looked at our contribution nor Ni Hua's face, and treated us as a teacher
All my numbers have been cancelled. This old boy is so cruel! Forget it, it’s useless to tell you so much, you can’t hear it. Even if you heard it while you were alive, you would only cry and you can’t help me. I want to leave
We still have to live our lives, and we still have to kill the little devils. Who taught me to be an anti-Japanese soldier? Goodbye, my silly girl!"
After saying that, Liu Yimin left the cemetery, led Zhao Xiaoman and the soldiers to mount their horses, and prepared to return the same way.
When he was about to leave, the abbot of Wanshou Palace, Guo Laodao, led the Taoist priests in a line, beating the ritual instruments and singing ancient tunes, and walked over. When they arrived in front of Liu Yimin, Guo Laodao made a bow and sang.
He shouted "Supreme Taiyi Tianzun", and then said that the martyrs of the Eighth Route Army were buried here, which added a lot of glory to the Wanshou Palace. Today, the Eighth Route Army comrades came to pay tribute, and the Wanshou Palace was willing to perform a ritual ceremony and pray for the deceased souls.
Liu Yimin remembered that after Chen Yaoguang died, he came here with his body. Guo Laodao kept the door closed. It was Luo Ronghuan who tried to dry his mouth before he agreed to free up a few rooms for Tang Xingying and the others to rest. He felt a little contempt for Guo Laodao.
He was stubborn. In addition, he was in a hurry to go back, so he politely declined the Taoist priest's kindness, saying that the Eighth Route Army did not do this, and thanked the Taoist priest for his kindness.
Guo Laodao is not stupid. He originally refused the Eighth Route Army to enter the Longevity Palace because he did not understand the Eighth Route Army. Now the Eighth Route Army is powerful in Shandong, and local cadres are here to promote anti-Japanese resistance. If Guo Laodao does not understand the Eighth Route Army, then he is not qualified to be the host.
.
If Guo Laodao knew that the person in front of him was Liu Yimin, the supreme commander of the Shandong Eighth Route Army, his attitude would probably be even better. Because of the inscription, Guo Laodao already knew that the Eighth Route Army martyr buried on the west side of Wanshou Palace was the wife of the Eighth Route Army instructor Liu Yimin, but at that time he
He stayed behind closed doors and never saw Liu Yimin, and troops from the Eighth Route Army passing by Chen Yaoguang's cemetery often came to pay their respects. Guo Laodao thought that Liu Yimin and his entourage were also passing by to pay their respects.
When Guo Laodao saw that the comrades of the Eighth Route Army were not allowed to do the work, he begged the comrades of the Eighth Route Army to rest for a while in the Longevity Palace before leaving.
Seeing that Zhao Xiaoman's face was still full of tears, Liu Yimin thought about whether Chen Yaoguang's grave could be well protected here and had to rely on the Taoist priests from Wanshou Palace, so he said politely to Guo Laodao, turned over and dismounted,
Follow Guo Laodao towards Wanshou Palace.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Wanshou Palace, he met a work team. Zhao Xiaoman saw that this was a work team formed by the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and ran forward to greet the comrades cordially.
After a while, Zhao Xiaoman came over and reported to Liu Yimin that this work team was led by Comrade *** recently sent from Xi'an Luyi. They wanted to come to Wanshou Palace to do the work of Taoist priests and encourage young Taoist priests to participate in the Anti-Japanese War.
.
As soon as he heard that *** was leading the team, Liu Yimin secretly cursed himself for being confused about Shandong for some time, and he hadn't seen her yet. He had to see what she was like at this time!
Liu Yimin ordered the guard company to rest on the spot and deploy vigilance. He asked Zhao Xiaoman to bring comrades from the work team to follow him into the Taoist temple.
*** was inexplicably sent to Shandong from Lu Yi, and he felt depressed for a while. Later, when he thought about it carefully, it was probably his inappropriate words that angered ***, and then he was sent to Shandong. I figured this out.
After one o'clock, *** kept writing letters to ***, reporting on his work and life. As a result, these letters fell into the sea.
*** didn’t expect to meet Zhao Xiaoman here. The order she received was to go to Shandong to assist Zhao Xiaoman in his work. However, Zhao Xiaoman was too sad because of Jingjing’s sacrifice, so Liu Yimin ordered her to accompany the division to Beijing.
Since she never returned to the Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Art Troupe, *** naturally could not see her. During this meeting, *** reported to Zhao Xiaoman the mission and purpose of leading the work team to Wanshou Palace.
When Zhao Xiaoman saw that Liu Yimin approved the work team to enter the Longevity Palace with him, without thinking much, he led the work team and followed Liu Yimin into the gate of the Longevity Palace.
At this time, the Wanshou Palace had not yet been poisoned by the Japanese invaders. The palaces and pavilions were dense and the treasures were solemn. When the team members entered the courtyard, they were all busy watching, but no one paid attention to Liu Yimin.
Liu Yimin followed Guo Laodao into the presiding room of Qingzhuyuan. After sitting down, the Taoist boy served tea, and Guo Laodao began to introduce the basic situation of Wanshou Palace.
What Guo Laodao said were all difficulties. Liu Yimin listened for a while, and because he did not want to reveal his identity, he told Guo Laodao that the national crisis was now at hand and difficulties were inevitable. He encouraged Guo Laodao to communicate more with Eighth Route Army cadres and lead Taoists to participate in the anti-Japanese war. Only
Only by driving away the Japanese devils can Taoism flourish again.
After talking with Guo Laodao, Liu Yimin told Guo Laodao to be busy with whatever he had to do, and asked Zhao Xiaoman to call Comrade *** in, and he wanted to meet him.
When *** heard that Zhao Xiaoman said that Liu Yimin, the number one leader of the Shandong Party, Government and Army, was here and wanted to see her, he felt happy and followed Zhao Xiaoman over.
Liu Yimin took a look and saw that she was of medium height, with an oval face, fair and delicate skin, short hair, wearing an Eighth Route Army uniform, and a small pistol on her waist. She looked quite dashing and heroic.
Liu Yimin first asked if he was used to Shandong's living habits and if he had any difficulties.
*** reported that she has no difficulties in life. Her hometown is Zhucheng, Shandong. Returning to Shandong is like returning home. Her eating habits are consistent and easy to deal with. The only difficulty is that she cannot see Comrade Liu Yimin and Comrade Luo Ronghuan often. There are many things that need to be consulted.
I can't ask questions in time for fear of not doing my job well.
Liu Yimin replied that work matters can be reported to Zhao Xiaoman. Zhao Xiaoman is responsible for reporting major issues to Comrade Zhong Xiaopei, Director of the Propaganda Department of the Shandong Bureau, or Comrade Cai Zhong, Director of the Political Department. If there is no discussion, we can discuss and learn together.
*** was very disappointed and asked if she could be allowed to follow Chiefs Liu and Luo so that she could learn from Chiefs Liu and Luo nearby and report on her work.
Liu Yimin took another look at the policeman and saw that he was very generous and neither humble nor overbearing. He felt funny and said that there were frequent wars in Shandong. He and Commissar Luo mainly focused on the inconvenience for military comrades to move with the division headquarters. The most basic thing was that
They said that safety was not guaranteed. The Japanese artillery shells and bullets did not recognize people. If there was an accident, it would be more appropriate for comrades to stay in the base area and help with propaganda work if they could not explain to the central government.
*** also reported that she had just arrived in Shandong and was not familiar with many jobs. Comrade Zhao Xiaoman laid the foundation for the work of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Art Troupe. Comrade Liu Yimin asked Comrade Liu Yimin to consider whether Zhao Xiaoman and herself should be swapped and Zhao Xiaoman should be replaced by Zhao Xiaoman.
When Comrade Xiaoman returns to preside over the Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Art Troupe, she can come to the division headquarters to do some publicity work or confidential work. This not only ensures the smooth development of the work, but also brings into play the different strengths of each comrade, killing two birds with one stone.
Getting *** to Shandong was the result of Liu Yimin's careful operation. He didn't know the inside story. He brought up such an out-of-touch thing when he met Liu Yimin for the first time, which made Liu Yimin look down on her. No, Liu Yimin patiently persuaded ***
You must obey the organization's assignments and don't look around.
*** Seeing that the conversation with Liu Yimin was not congenial, she thought it might be because Zhao Xiaoman was present. Because she knew a lot about Liu Yimin in Xi'an, especially Liu Yimin's relationship with Tang Xingying, Ni Hua, Zhao Xiaoman, and Jingjing.
*** understands the emotional entanglement very clearly. She also knows that the reason why Zhao Xiaoman followed Liu and Luo was because she was overly stimulated by Jingjing's sacrifice. In order to protect her, Liu Yimin allowed her to adjust her work and follow him
around.
*** judged that because Zhao Xiaoman was Liu Yimin's lover, Liu Yimin did not allow him to act with the division in front of Zhao Xiaoman.
***This person is very talented in acting. As an actor, practicing eye contact is one of the basic skills. With a glance of her eyes, she determined that Liu Yimin and Zhao Xiaoman were lovers.
*** reported that she had important work to report to Comrade Liu Yimin alone and asked Comrade Zhao Xiaoman to avoid it.
Zhao Xiaoman couldn't think of raising such a question, and was so angry that tears filled his eyes. Before Liu Yimin could speak, he turned around and walked out.
Liu Yimin wanted to ask Zhao Xiaoman to avoid him, and his eyes swept towards him like a knife.
*** looked directly at Liu Yimin and reported that when he left Xi'an, the chairman specifically told him that when he came to Shandong, he should obey orders and do a good job. If he had any difficulties, he could report them directly to Comrade Liu Yimin and Comrade Luo Ronghuan.
Liu Yimin asked a little doubtfully: "Is it this matter that you ask Comrade Zhao Xiaoman to avoid?"
*** replied that everything the chairman confessed was confidential, and of course Zhao Xiaoman had to be recused. This is discipline!
Liu Yimin shook his head and told Chairman Mao that Zhao Xiaoman's party membership and military orders were much longer than Mao Zedong's. He was a proven cadre of the old Red Army. There was no need to say what the Chairman confessed behind her back. Besides, the Central Committee's
The order is very clear. The purpose of transferring Comrade *** to Shandong is to assist Zhao Xiaoman in her work and reduce her work pressure. There is a superior-subordinate relationship between you two. You cannot exceed your authority in the future. Everything must be reported to Comrade Zhao Xiaoman.
Know.
Later, she asked if Comrade Liu Yimin could be asked to report to the Chairman about ***'s work and life. She was very much looking forward to returning to the Chairman's side after completing the task. She knitted a knitted knit for the Chairman and wanted to ask Comrade Liu Yimin for his convenience.
It will be forwarded on your behalf when the time comes.
Liu Yimin agreed and took out 20 yuan from his pocket and handed it over, saying that the conditions of the war behind enemy lines were difficult and Comrade *** could improve his life appropriately.
