Late one night in August 1948, at the intersection of Xibaipo, Vice Chairman Zhou was carrying a lantern and respectfully waiting for someone. At this time, an American jeep came from a distance, and on the car sat comrades from the North China Bureau, who had specially escorted an old man here.
When Vice Chairman Zhou saw it, he immediately greeted him and shook the hand of an old man who got out of the car: "Mr. Fu Dingyi, welcome to you, the chairman has been waiting for you."
Vice Chairman Zhou carried a lantern to lead the old man to the chairman's residence, and the chairman personally went out to greet him: "Teacher, the students have been waiting for you for a long time!" ”
Who is Fu Dingyi? Let the chairman and vice chairman Of Zhou, who were preparing the decision on the Pingjin Campaign, deliberately take time to meet and talk about the early morning of the next day?
Fu Dingyi, a native of Baiguo, Hengshan County, Hunan Province, entered the Manchu Qing Dynasty Beijing Normal University in his youth, graduated in 1908, played the prize, awarded the Zhongshu of the Zhongshu Department, and served as the secretary of the Senior Political Academy. After the Xinhai Revolution, he engaged in education in his hometown, successively serving as the chief of Yuelu Academy, the president of Hunan Provincial Education Federation, the principal of Hunan Provincial No. 1 Middle School, and the principal of Hunan Normal School.
In 1912, Fu Dingyi was the principal of Hunan Public High School. This is a modern school that was extremely scarce in the old days, disseminating knowledge and advanced ideas, so it attracts many progressive young people to apply for the examination, and the entrance examination is quite severe.
On this day, Fu Dingyi was reviewing the examination papers, and when he saw the examination papers of the young Runzhi, Fu Dingyi could not help but be shocked, feeling that the article was majestic, lofty and profound, and not like a teenage doll could write, Fu Dingyi immediately called the chairman and tested him in person.
Fu Dingyi followed by several historical questions, the chairman replied like a stream, showing a profound literary and historical background, Fu Dingyi asked the chairman to write an article on the spot, only to see the chairman Wen Siquan gushing, and it did not take long to hand over the answer sheet, the intention, exposition, and literary style all surprised fu Dingyi and such a well-educated person, and immediately decided to admit it, and gave a set of "Zizhi Tongjian" to show encouragement.
The chairman was suddenly fascinated by this book, read it all night, and from time to time posted his own sentimental articles on some major historical topics on the school board newspaper, and the teachers praised it: The future of this son is immeasurable.
However, not all teachers appreciate this kind of thoughtful and insightful student, and his Chinese language teacher feels that the dignity of the teacher is challenged because the chairman often argues with him, and he resigns in consideration of face, and Fu Dingyi personally teaches him Chinese, and the relationship between teachers and students is closer.
The chairman later came to Peking University and took a job as an administrator in the library, and at this time, Fu Dingyi happened to be in Beijing to hold a public office in the Beiyang government, and the chairman often visited Fu Dingyi's home.
Although Fu Dingyi is a Hunan native, he usually does not eat spicy, knows that the chairman is not spicy and unhappy, and every time he specially prepares bacon fried peppers and other hometown-style dishes for him, so that the chairman who is wandering away from home feels the warmth of home.
At this time, the chairman's income was very meager, and Fu Dingyi also took out five oceans from his salary every month to fund him, which solved the urgent need for the chairman who was looking for the revolution at this moment, and the chairman did not forget this kindness.
In 1925, the Great Revolution was booming, the chairman actively led the workers' movement in his hometown, planned the anyuan road miners' strike, and led the workers' representatives to negotiate with The Governor of Hunan Province and warlord Zhao Hengti.
At the critical juncture, Fu Dingyi accidentally learned of this news first, it turned out that Fu Dingyi just returned from Beijing to visit his relatives, one of his cousins happened to be the secretary general of the Hunan provincial government, he chatted about the chairman, but the cousin took out a wanted warrant that Zhao Hengti had just signed, and the object of the arrest was the chairman!
In a hurry, Fu Ding hugged his cousin at once, repeatedly saying that the chairman was an immortal talent, and sooner or later he would make an earth-shattering cause of saving the country and saving the people, and he could not ruin his future like this, and was willing to use his own life as a guarantee to plead with his cousin to save the chairman.
The cousin felt the friendship of his cousin, so he secretly did some tricks and deliberately delayed the release of the arrest warrant, and Fu Dingyi found out about the chairman's residence again, and sent someone to send an urgent letter and 20 pieces of ocean, asking him to leave Hunan immediately, until the cronies sent the chairman to the train south to Guangzhou, and Fu Dingyi put his mind at ease.
After this, although Fu Dingyi had not seen the president for a long time, he had been actively inquiring about his student's situation from various sources and was extremely proud of the chairman's series of achievements. Especially during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Fu Dingyi, who had always been worried about China's prospects, saw a copy of "On Protracted War" written by the chairman, and suddenly felt that Mao Zedong was suddenly open and bright, and he felt that the chairman was no small thing at this time, so he had the desire to go to Yan'an in person and make some efforts for the revolution.
But at this moment, Jiang's agents came to the door and arrested him. Fu Dingyi asked himself what crime he had committed? The agent replied, "Just because you are the teacher of the red bandit head, you can be arrested!" ”
Fu Dingyi retorted: "Many generals of the Eighth Route Army are students of the Whampoa Military Academy, so should we arrest Principal Jiang as well, because he is the teacher of the Whampoa students?" The agent was dumbfounded. But the agent asked Fu Dingyi to write about his past relationship with the chairman, and Fu Dingyi only wrote four big words: "Teachers and students without a distance." ”
When the chairman of Yan'an learned that his mentor had been arrested by Chiang Kai-shek, he immediately arranged for the Hunan underground organization to try to rescue him; because Fu Dingyi was highly respected in the political and cultural circles of old China, and because of our rescue, the enemy could not help him and had no choice but to release him.
In 1948, the Liaoshen Campaign ended in victory, and the already growing Northeast Field Army entered the customs to prepare for the strategic preparation of liberating Pingjin.
Today we all know that the Pingjin Campaign ended with the conquest of Tianjin and the peaceful liberation of Beiping, but what is little known is that our army's original concept was not like this, because it was Chiang Kai-shek's troops stationed in Tianjin, whose combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, while Fu Zuoyi of Beiping was much easier to deal with, and Coupled with Chiang's distrust, from a military point of view, first solve Fu Zuoyi's troops by force, and then deter the Tianjin defenders, the effect may be better, and the reason why there is a later ending, Fu Dingyi played a key role.
It turned out that Fu Dingyi was living in Beiping at this time, and he was very concerned about the future of Pingjin. As a scholar who deeply loves the traditional culture of the motherland, Fu Dingyi is well aware of the pivotal position of Beiping in carrying China's history and culture, especially as an ancient capital, full of historical monuments and cultural relics and many colleges and universities, which are the essence of Chinese culture, if not protected, as soon as the war ends, it will be a huge disaster and loss, so he urgently hopes that Beiping can be peacefully liberated.
Out of concern for the future and destiny of the country, Fu Dingyi managed to get in touch with our side and offered to meet the chairman, who was also busy and took time to meet with his mentor who had been away for many years, so there was the opening scene of the article.
That night, Fu Dingyi talked with Mao and Zhou all night, and did not leave until 2 a.m., and when he was parting, Fu Dingyi wrote down the 12-character strategy of "first attack Tianjin Wei, and then take Beiping City", which gave the chairman great inspiration.
Later, as Fu Dingyi wished, the People's Liberation Army first conquered Tianjin, which was guarded by Chiang Kai-shek's superior forces, by military means, and then negotiated with Fu Zuoyi, and finally promoted the peaceful return of the ancient capital to the hands of the people.
Later, after the representative of our army secretly signed the "Peace Agreement" with Fu Zuoyi, the chairman, who had not slept for two days and two nights, said happily: "Go, go to Lijiazhuang, and tell Mr. Fu Dingyi the good news!" ”
The People's Liberation Army entered Beiping
