"Sir Xu?" Shu Mohan was stunned for a moment, then his face showed infinite surprise. He took two steps forward and took Xu Shijiu's hand, and said in a trembling voice, "It's really Chief Xu, it's really Chief Xu , It¡¯s great, it¡¯s great, I finally found it, I finally found it.¡± Shu Mohan was so excited that he couldn¡¯t speak incoherently, but Mother Shu over there had already burst into tears. Outsiders may not be able to imagine how much hardship and suffering Shu Mohan and his wife have endured in searching for their son for more than three years. But all this has passed, and now they have finally found their son's commander, Xu. The chief is here, and Awen must be here too. Xu Jiujiu also accepted Qi Qiran, but just by looking at Shu's father and Shu's mother's tired appearance, he knew that they must have been recruited from the rear area. Although they could pass through the Kuomintang-controlled area along the way, the old couple were in chaos now. I don¡¯t know how much hardship I endured along the way. "Mr. Xu, Awen, is our Awen okay?" Shu Mohan suppressed his excitement and asked Xu Shijiu in a trembling voice. Shu's mother over there also immediately stopped crying, her heart hanging with worry. At the end of the day, although they had found Chief Xu, they had not yet seen their son. In this war era, tragedies of soldiers dying on the battlefield are happening every day. They have to worry that waiting for them may be bad news. "Awen? He's OK, he's OK." Xu Jiujiu said with a smile, "Now we are all thinking "Master." "Okay, as long as he's okay." Shu Mohan nodded, his voice becoming choked. Mother Shu burst into tears again, but this time, she was really crying with joy, because they already knew the exact news about their son. Although they had not met his son yet, they already knew from his son's superior that his son was still alive and well. alive. As long as the son is still alive, that is enough. As for the teacher or not, they don't care at all. (Dividing line) Liu Chang looked at Liu Debiao, who was tied up in front of him, with an uncertain expression on his face. Wherever there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will be disputes. As an organization, the Communist Party, of course, also has factions within it. Regarding party disputes, Mao Zedong once made a classic comment: There is no party outside the party, and the imperial ideology; There is no sect within, and there are all kinds of strange things. In fact, Mao Zedong himself grew up in the midst of party disputes. He first competed with Zhu De for the leadership of Jinggangshan; then he competed with Bogu and Li De for the leadership of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army; then he competed with Zhang Guotao for control of the Central Committee; not long ago He also defeated Wang Ming, who had returned from the Soviet Union with the imperial edict of the Communist International, and completely consolidated his leadership position within the party. The reason why Mao Zedong decided to launch a rectification movement was, firstly, to eliminate hedonism, bureaucracy and sectarianism within the party. Another reason was to completely negate Wang Ming¡¯s left-leaning opportunist line and lay the legal foundation within the party for Mao Zedong Thought. It¡¯s a pity that Kang Sheng, a crooked monk, misread a good book. Relying on the power granted by the Party Central Committee, Kang Sheng arbitrarily changed the nature of the rectification movement, turning a corrective action aimed at cleaning up the party's style into a large-scale purity campaign to eliminate enemy agents, and then used the purity campaign to exclude dissidents and wantonly Suppress and kill party members in the unit, causing great damage to the base areas behind enemy lines. As a close friend of Kang Sheng, Liu Chang certainly knew the purpose of this large-scale purity campaign. From the beginning, Liu Chang never thought about eliminating the enemy agents in the party. The only thing he wanted to do was to eliminate Shu Tongwen's cronies as much as possible, and then place his cronies in various units of the Wannan detachment, so as to firmly control the The military armed force of the Wannan detachment. To put it bluntly, Liu Chang's fundamental purpose in launching this pure movement was to overthrow Shu Tongwen and fully control the Wanzhi South Team. Therefore, Liu Chang could not stop before taking down Shu Tongwen, and would only continue to expand this The size of a purity movement. However, what made Liu Chang extremely frustrated was that his plan to seize power did not go smoothly. In order to avoid a premature decisive battle with Shu Tongwen, Liu Chang initially chose the grassroots party members in the department, trying to purge and win over the grassroots party members in the department to achieve the purpose of ousting Shu Tongwen. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the grassroots party members in the department They are all infinitely loyal to the party, and they simply disdain to collude with Liu Chang. Liu Chang's foundation in southern Anhui was not deep enough, so he did not have that many cronies assigned to all grassroots units. Therefore, Liu Chang could only change his strategy midway and change the target of purging, suppressing, and wooing from grassroots party members in the department to high-level party members in the department. . And Liu Debiao was the first target chosen by Liu Chang. "Liu Debiao, I solemnly warn you that there is absolutely no way out for stubborn resistance." Liu Chang looked at the tied-up Liu Debiao and said in a sinister tone, "Either you explain your problems clearly, or you make a profound contribution to the organization. Reflect on it and you will never think of going out like this." Liu Debiao glanced at Liu Chang with an indifferent expression and said nothing. When Hubei, Henan, and Anhui suppressed the rebellion, although Liu Debiao was just a small soldier, so he did not have enough understanding of the cruelty of political struggle, but this did not prevent him from making the right choice. Liu Debiao knew that if he really followed Liu Chang's profound words Reflect, then he is dead. At this moment, it was best for him to remain silent. "Liu Debiao, don't take any chances." Seeing that Liu Debiao was unwilling to speak, Liu Chang gradually lost his patience. As the chief minister in charge of the purity movement in the southern Anhui base area, Liu Chang actually had a lot of experience in the Party members who were under review. Kill the powerful ones. He was able to execute party leaders without even going through strict screening. "Liu Debiao, I'll give you one last chance." Liu Chang said a little thirsty, picked up the big enamel teacup on the table and drank heavily, then continued, "As long as you truthfully explain your problems, I promise to talk to Shu Draw a clear line with this big sectarian. The organization will not give you a chance to change your ways. "If it was coercion before, now it is naked temptation. Liu Chang's implication is that as long as Liu Debiao agrees to pour dirty water on Shu Tongwen and accuse Shu Tongwen of being a major sectarian hidden within the New Fourth Army, he can be let go. In the final analysis, Liu Chang's main target is Shu Tongwen, and Liu Debiao is only used to It's just a bargaining chip to achieve your intention. However, Liu Debiao was not moved at all and just glanced at Liu Chang coldly. Deep down in his heart, Liu Debiao felt disdainful of what Liu Chang had done. The so-called purity movement has now completely become a means for Liu Chang to retaliate and realize his ulterior motives. "Liu Debiao" Liu Chang was completely irritated by Liu Debiao's contemptuous eyes. He slapped the conference table hard and said angrily, "It seems that if I don't give you something powerful to try, you probably won't be able to see the situation clearly. That's okay, this But you brought them all by yourself." "There are" two guards striding in carrying box cannons and standing at attention. "Give him up," Liu Chang pointed at Liu Debiao and said in a ferocious voice, "and then educate him until he understands the situation." "Yes." The two guards turned to look at Liu Debiao with ferocious expressions. These two guards were brought over by Liu Chang from the Longkou County Party Committee, and they can be described as close confidants. Soon, Liu Debiao was mobilized. (Dividing line) Xu Jiujiu knew that Shu Mohan and his wife were very much thinking about their son, so he did not let them stay at his headquarters overnight. Instead, he asked Liu Daguou to transfer a platoon from the cavalry battalion to escort Shu Mohan and his wife to Yannese. Xu Shijiu thanked him profusely and left happily. That afternoon, Shu Mohan and his wife arrived at Yan'an. "Unfortunately, Shu Tongwen happened to get off the army, and it was Liu Chang who received Shu Mohan and his wife. Liu Chang took Shu Mohan and his wife to the Wannan detachment headquarters, said a few words to the guards, and then wanted to leave. However, just as he was about to walk out of the headquarters gate, an idea suddenly came to his mind, and he immediately turned back in a hurry. "Sir, what are you doing?" When they saw Liu Chang coming back, Shu Mohan and his wife, who were sitting boredly waiting for their son to come back, stood up quickly. "Uncle, aunt, please sit down." Liu Chang came over and said with a smile, "Awen and I are classmates at Kangda University, and he is my leader. You just treat me as your nephew. You don't have to be so polite. You really don¡¯t need to be so polite.¡± Shu Mohan and his wife sat down again, saying that my Awen would like to ask you to take care of me.
