Because the New Fourth Army has been active in the Jianghuai area for a long time, how to obtain the support of the local enlightened gentry is undoubtedly the most important task, and it requires the leaders to have a fairly strong united front ability.
The commander of the New Fourth Army, Chen Yi, is a veteran of both literature and martial arts, whose exports are full of chapters, and who has a bold personality and a very high emotional intelligence, and it is most appropriate for him to do the united front work.
One year, the New Fourth Army advanced to the east of the column, and Li Mingyang, the commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang Lu Suwan guerrilla, was instigated by Han Deloitte to prepare for war with the New Fourth Army. General Manager Chen was not afraid to fight with Li Mingyang, but the New Fourth Army attached great importance to the anti-Japanese resistance, and if the civil war could not be fought, it would not be fought, so he asked Li Mingyang if he had any trustworthy people to do the work from the side.
After investigation, Mr. Chen learned that Li Mingyang had a very respectful master and was now the abbot of the Gushan Monastery in The North of Zhenjiang, and Mr. Chen decided to visit the abbot in person.
When he arrived at the temple, Mr. Chen said that he was a merchant from Nanyang, and when the abbot accompanied Mr. Chen into the temple, he pointed to the great rivers and mountains with his hand and made an upper link: "Beauty Wonderland Heavenly Wonderland." ”
Mr. Chen knew that this was the abbot testing himself, smiled slightly, and said to the next link: "Busan Jiaoshan Beigushan." ”
Due to the neatness of the lower link, the abbot's attitude towards Mr. Chen has also improved.
During the small talk, Mr. Chen inquired about Li Mingyang to the abbot, and the abbot was alert, did not speak, but made another uplink: "The four Buddhas are empty." It means telling Mr. Chen: I am a monk, and I don't care about worldly affairs.
Elder Chen said, "Half of Shenzhou is shattered." "This next link came out, and suddenly made the abbot's face look ashamed." Mr. Chen then said, "The monks are also Chinese, and seeing that the country has been so invaded by the Japanese, the abbot should not be empty of all four!" ”
The abbot suspected that Elder Chen was always a member of the New Fourth Army, and said that this was the Ganlu Temple, and when Liu Bei came to Eastern Wu to marry Sun Shangxiang, Lao Gong made another league: "Inside the Ganlu Temple, his grandson Liu Jie personally lost Jingzhou. ”
Mr. Chen pondered a little and said to the next link: "On the banks of the Yangtze River, I Chen Li cooperate to save China!" ”
When the abbot heard this, he exclaimed, "The general's surname is Chen, and he is not from the New Fourth Army..." Elder Chen hurriedly stood up and said to the abbot, "It is Chen Yi, the resident." ”
The abbot sighed, "I have long heard that Commander Chen has literary talent, and today, Lao Gong has completely obeyed, and Li Mingyang's affairs are wrapped up in Lao Gong's body." After saying this, he wrote a letter to Li Mingyang, asking him not to oppose the New Fourth Army, to deal with the Japanese Kou together, and to defend the country.
After Li Mingyang received the letter, he was also very interested and gave way to the Taizhou Road to let the New Fourth Army pass smoothly.
More than a year later, When Mr. Chen heard that there was a highly respected gentry named Pang Youlan in Fudong County,Jiangsu Province (now merged into Binhai County), he decided to go to the meeting for a while.
Pang Youlan was too much in the Qing Dynasty, his knowledge was very deep, and his character was also very good, but under the influence of some deceptive propaganda, he felt that the New Fourth Army was illiterate, and he looked down on the New Fourth Army, so when General Manager Chen came to visit, Pang Youlan shirked it.
But on what grounds did you refuse? Pang Youlan casually turned out a pair of ties and said to his family, "Just say that I just died." "I also let my family simply get a spiritual hall."
Mr. Chen heard that Pang Youlan had passed away, and he was very sorry, but as soon as he saw Bang Lian, he suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Pang, please come out, I am also a guest." ”
Pang Youlan saw that he could not hide, so he had to come out and asked, "How did Commander Chen understand my plan?" Mr. Chen smiled and said, "That pair of links was written for Lord LingTang, how could I not see it?" ”
At this moment, Pang Youlan's face became even redder, and he said with shame: "I thought that the New Fourth Army was illiterate, but I didn't expect that Commander Chen's learning was so high." ”
Pang Youlan hurriedly asked people to prepare a banquet and invited Mr. Chen. During the banquet, Mr. Chen talked about ancient and modern times, astronomical geography, poetry, and song, which made Pang Youlan greatly impressed, saying: "Your army has such a figure as Commander Chen, no wonder you can win the battle, you friend, I have made a deal!" ”
Mr. Chen asked Pang Youlan to come out of the mountains and do some work for the anti-Japanese resistance, and Pang Youlan gladly agreed.
Someone asked Pang Youlan: "In the past, the Kuomintang asked you to go out of the mountains, but you didn't agree, how did you make an exception this time?" Pang Youlan said with emotion: "I really underestimated the Communist Party before, they have such a figure as Commander Chen, and I dare to assert that the world must be theirs!" ”
