There are many details in "The Sky of History" that are worth pondering.
Jiang Daya secretly went to the kiln shop on Xiehe Street to kill the traitor Yao Hulu, grabbed a batch of war horses and shell guns and did not give the political commissar Li Wenbin a configuration, Li Wenbin accused Jiang Daya of ideological style problems by visiting the kiln three ways, the two put a bowl of noodle fish in front of them, Jiang Daya ate well, but Li Wenbin did not move chopsticks;
Jiang Bida found the Japanese little girl hidden in the jar and communicated with her with "Japanese sixth level", the silent little girl was arranged by Jiang Bida to be sent to the Japanese army in Yulin Village, the little girl's father Nishimura Daisa, in order to express his gratitude, invited Jiang Daya and sent a samurai sword and 200 pieces of ocean, on the way back, Jiang Daya privately gave the 200 oceans as a birthday gift to Zhu Erye;
Jiang Bida and Chen Mohan were on the same farm to renovate, and in Chen Mohan's gloomy and sad erhu, Jiang Bida said the current situation of the people's lives when he went out to buy condiments: the house was very broken, food stamps were asked everywhere, children dug wild vegetables to cook mixed batter soup, Jiang Bida said that he did not dare to return to Lanqiao Port: "I am afraid that the villagers in Lanqiao Port asked me, good you Jiang Daya, what did you say at the beginning, saying that the revolution was successful, you can live in a new house, eat rice and white noodles, but now the house is getting more and more broken, even millet coarse noodles can not eat enough";
…..
The noodle fish is a "hometown delicacy" that runs through the entire "Sky of History", Jiang Daya was born and raised, and Li Wenbin was sent from abroad, and the different reactions of the two opposite fish reflect the disharmony between the two forces; Jiang Daya let the Japanese little girl embody the glory and kindness of human nature, but Jiang Daya privately brought troops and gave 200 oceans to Zhu Erye's behavior is a serious violation of organizational discipline, "first beautiful and then ugly", with beauty to cover the ugly; Jiang Bida's description of the real life of the common people after the success of the revolution, It is a reflection on the revolution and a naked criticism of the reality of social struggle at that time, and Chen Mohan's erhu sound is more like an indictment.
I have always felt that in the self-reflection before Jiang Bida became the commander of the Qilin Mountain Military Subdistrict, he said that "revolution is struggle, fighting with devils, fighting with traitors, fighting with bad guys inside", which is actually the best interpretation of this drama.
And the source of the struggle lies in human nature.
In addition to the above extremely combative and human details, in fact, there are many details in the play that are worth savoring, especially these four details that are easy to be ignored, which expose the truth of human nature and are very realistic.
01 Jiang Bida threatened Yang Tinghui's incident
Before Jiang Bida became the commander of the Chenbu County Brigade, because his subordinates Zhu Xiandao, Tao Sanhe, and Qu Crooked Mouth could not be used by the organization, Jiang Bida did not hesitate to threaten Yang Tinghui with the idea that "there is no place for the grandfather to be left here." For this reason, Yang Tinghui, Wang Lantian, Dou Yuquan, Zhang Pujing, and Wangubei held a special meeting to discuss.
At the meeting, three factions were formed: Yang Tinghui and Wang Lantian bao Jiang Bida; Wang Gubei and Zhang Pujing suggested that Jiang Bida be executed secretly; Dou Yuquan's attitude was vague, and Yang Tinghui finally made three proposals and raised his hand to vote:
First, it was normal to announce Comrade Jiang Daya's order to take office; second, to report to the military region and transfer three comrades, Song Dashang and Ma Xiping, and Dongfang Wenying of the Propaganda Department, to work in Chenbu County; third, according to the needs of the battle, it was suggested that the three comrades of the Second Squadron, Zhu Yidao, Tao Sanhe, and Qu Weizui, be promoted to squadron commanders of the three basic cadre squadrons of the county brigade, and another batch of backbone cadres should be selected as their deputies.
Only Zhang Pujing was stubborn and did not raise his hand to agree.
And these three proposals, it is easy to see that Yang Tinghui almost met any of the conditions proposed by Jiang Bida, which shows that Yang Tinghui attaches great importance to it; but what is easy to be overlooked is the detail that Yang Tinghui "mobilized Song Dashan and Ma Xiping of the Security Section", which was special at that time, and it can be said that Yang Tinghui had "the power of life and death" in his hands.
One is "Ming Bao" to protect Jiang Bida's safety; the other is "secret defense", monitoring Jiang Bida's behavior.
Jiang Bida's appointment as captain of chenbu county is a single-sided blocker, lacking the direct supervision of Yang Tinghui and Wang Lantian, coupled with Jiang Bida's banditry and the courage to do it without fear, he must be somewhat unconstrained, Yang Tinghui cannot put 100 hearts, it can be imagined: If Jiang Bida can get on the right track, then protect; if Jiang Bida still goes his own way, and even does anything else that seriously undermines organizational discipline, then "kill."
"Protection" is Yang Tinghui's reuse of Jiang Bida's employment, "prevention" is Yang Tinghui's self-protection, and this kind of dual-pronged approach of both use and prevention is Yang Tinghui's real use of people.
At this time, Jiang Bida, for Yang Tinghui, has great uses and great harms, And Jiang Bida is like standing at a critical high point, one side can be plastic, the other side can be destroyed, once the direction is wrong, hurting the revolution will also damage Yang Tinghui.
And a "defense" word, has revealed that it is difficult to achieve complete and absolute trust between people, on the surface of your extreme trust and reuse, but secretly but secretly set up a defense line for this appearance, and often you only look at the appearance and be grateful to Dade, but do not know that there is actually an abyss behind it.
02 Zhu Xiandao and Yue Xiuying rolling melon shed incident
Zhu Xiandao and Yue Xiuying drilled into the melon shed on the side of the road when they first met, and the dry firewood of the two seemed to have also increased the speed of the news that the two were messing around with the relationship between men and women.
Dongfang Wenying looked for Jiang Bida, and Jiang Bida sent Dongfang Wenying away with no physical evidence, the affection between comrades, and the age of the two men, and So on; Li Wenbin came to find Jiang Bida, and Jiang Bida only asked li Wenbin on the grounds that he did not know or hear that li Wenbin had something to say, and Li Wenbin would not give up.
Soon, Jiang Bida received Li Wenbin's report materials, which recorded in detail the private actions of Zhu Xiandao and Yue Xiuying:
On a certain day in a certain month, Zhu XX and Yue XX went to a so-and-so melon field to do so-and-so's business, and on a certain day of a certain month, Yue xx said to so-and-so that after the victory of the anti-Japanese war, he would go to Luzhou City with Zhu Xiandao, and on a certain day of a certain month, Zhu xxx said a dream, ah, the woman's flesh is really fragrant.
Zhu Xiandao first vigorously denied it, but under the strict questioning of these materials and Jiang Bida, he had to admit his private affair with Yue Xiuying, but in response to these things and these words recorded in the materials, Zhu Xiandao only admitted that part of it was true.
As far as this material is concerned, although Jiang Bida has been replaced by a number of "so-and-so", the level of detail of the record is "outrageous", and even dream words can be put on the material, and the tightness of this kind of surveillance cannot be considered; and Zhu Xiandao only admits that part of it is true, and makes the authenticity of this material full of subjectivity and arbitrariness, perhaps exaggerated, perhaps out of nothing, but must have ulterior motives.
Later, Jiang Bida took the initiative to go to Li Wenbin and did four things: First, he apologized for "humiliating" Li Wenbin with guns and horses before; second, he gave Li Wenbin a good gun; third, he explained that the gun was captured by Zhu Predao and deployed by the county brigade on demand, otherwise he would hand it over to the military sub-district; fourth, he proposed that there should be solid evidence, and pointed out that Yue Xiuying was Li Wenbin's direct subordinate, and yue Xiuying's fierce nature was unpredictable.
Jiang Bida's four steps showed his "humble" attitude, took care of Li Wenbin's face and son, and in a way that he had achieved his goal, and let Li Wenbin preconceived in the way of accepting Zhu's preconceived feelings, and then revealed the key and stakes of the incident.
Only then did the mess between Zhu Yuandao and Yue Xiuying come to an end.
It is undeniable that:
Li Wenbin as a political commissar, his role is the most critical, although the evidence in his hands is not enough weight, but with the fact that Zhu Yuandao and Yue Xiuying do have a secret communication, once he pursues it to the end, Zhu Xiandao and Yue Xiuying will be punished.
But it is also undeniable:
Regardless of whether Li Wenbin wanted to rectify the ideological style of the contingent out of public conscience, or because he was humiliated by Jiang Bida with guns and horses and relied on Zhu Xiandao to take revenge, Li Wenbin's secret stalking and surveillance were really terrible.
And how much public will a person has in the event itself; how much selfishness there is outside the event, that is, determines the final direction of the event, think about it, unfathomable.
03 The incident of Li Wenbin being captured
How Li Wenbin was captured by the Japanese is an unsolved mystery, and the play does not give a clear "culprit", only two details hint at the possibility.
One is Li Wenbin's analysis.
After the news of Li Wenbin's defection was confirmed, Gao Qiujiang and Han Chunyun cooperated in assassinating Li Wenbin, and in the hostel room, Li Wenbin said to Gao Qiujiang, "How did I fall into the hands of the Japanese?" There's a conspiracy here... Who else can I trust in this world? And handed over a specific material to Gao Qiujiang;
One is Zhang Pujing's analysis.
Zhang Pujing deliberately approached Jiang Bida to analyze the matter, and he pointed the spearhead directly at Dou Yuquan on the grounds that Dou Yuquan's unusual calmness, Li Wenbin held in his hands the handle that Dou Yuquan had wanted to assassinate Jiang Bida, and Dou Yuquan put a black gun to kill his superiors during the period of rebellion.
One indirect, one direct, the analysis of both people is actually locked in the inside, is their own people.
And why did Li Wenbin become an "outcast"?
One may be as Zhang Pujing said.
Li Wenbin held the handle of Dou Yuquan in his hand, so Dou Yuquan wanted to get rid of it quickly, and on the way to Li Wenbin's arrest, only Dou Yuquan insisted on firing.
The second may be hidden in a meeting.
Before the Kuomintang-Communist cooperation against the Japanese army, after receiving a secret report from Gao Hanying of Li Wenbin's rebellion, Jiang Bida, Zhang Pujing, Dou Yuquan, Wangubei, and Jiang Jiahu held a meeting to discuss, and Jiang called Yang Tinghui and Wang Lantian to deal with how to deal with it.
The Monument says:
Strong dragons do not suppress the head snake, we are all foreign, and when we arrive, we still let the natives have the upper hand.
Dou Yuquan said:
This is good, there is a Li Wenbin, we can't lift our heads.
The words of two men reveal two objective facts:
One is that there are two forces secretly formed internally, "foreign" and "native"; the other is that Li Wenbin's rebellion has blinded these people from outside, thus indirectly maintaining a certain high degree of concentration of power.
And no matter which one it is, no matter how disgraceful Li Wenbin's rebellion is, the incident of Li Wenbin's arrest is even more unfathomable because of a layer of fog, maybe someone is artificially defending himself, maybe someone is artificially right, maybe someone is retaliating... Perhaps otherwise, behind this, being betrayed by one's own people is the most terrible fact.
What is unfathomable is the truth behind the events, and what is deeper and unfathomable is the human heart and human nature, reality.
04 Yang Tinghui advised Dou Yuquan of the incident
In response to the threat of confiscating the property of the traitorous merchants to expand the armed forces and the traitor Yao Hulu, Yang Tinghui organized a meeting, at which there were three kinds of ways to do it:
Yang Tinghui and Wang Lantian, in contrast to the strength of the enemy and us, suggested returning some of the property of the traitorous merchants in order to retreat first and make a big leap forward later; Zhang Pujing, Li Wenbin, and Wang Gubei insisted on cracking down on the arrogance of the traitors and traitors; while Dou Yuquan, when expressing his own opinions, prevaricated with the idea that "this matter is indeed worthy of attention, we must seriously study it, and we must carefully consider all factors." After the meeting was set by Yang Tinghui and Wang Lantian, they suggested sending a detachment into Luo'an Prefecture to crack down on Yao Hulu's arrogance.
After the meeting was dissolved, Yang Tinghui and Dou Yuquan were left alone, and then Yang Tinghui, while advising Dou Yuquan to fully express his opinions in the future; on the other hand, he also mentioned Dou Yuquan's previous experience of almost being killed in the anti-rebellion campaign; on the other hand, he also said that Dou Yuquan's training and combat experience was extremely rich, and he asked him to boldly carry out his work.
Obviously, Yang Tinghui, Wang Lantian, Jiang Bida, and others in the Qilin Mountain revolutionary base area were basically in tune; Dou Yuquan, Zhang Pujing, Wangubei, and Li Wenbin were in their own faction, and Dou Yuquan was the least obvious of these five people.
Yang Tinghui knew that Dou Yuquan had become the biggest disaster in his life because he had expressed his opinion too fully in the past, making him forget the past and bravely express his opinion again? As a different "faction", who did Dou Yuquan express his opinion, Yang Tinghui's?
I have always felt that Dou Yuquan is in the Qilin Mountain Rights Center, and his "inaction" is actually the biggest "action" for Yang Tinghui.
At this meeting, Dou Yuquan's enthusiasm was not high; Zhang Pujing, Wangubei, and Li Wenbin, as political and ideological workers, lacked experience in armed combat so that although they had their own opinions, they could not become the mainstream; Dou Yuquan knew this well, and his non-speech actually contained Zhang Pujing and others, so that Yang Tinghui's decision-making could be implemented without danger; there was also a meeting held before Jiang Bida became the captain of Chenbu County, and at the meeting, there were also three factions, Wangubei and Zhang Pujing proposed the execution of Jiang Bida, and Dou Yuquan may have privately communicated with Zhang and Wan to reach an agreement. However, at the meeting, Dou Yuquan did not express his position, but ambiguously said that Jiang Bida had problems and said that he wanted to find a way to reform, and his inaction or defection decided that the meeting adopted Yang Tinghui's proposal.
But every time he expressed his opinion in a clear-cut manner, the final direction of the meeting may be different, Dou Yuquan is in charge of military command and operations, is Yang Tinghui's second-in-command, in the early days of the War of Resistance, Dou Yuquan's words are still very weighty, not to mention, is already the greatest "support" for Yang Tinghui.
In fact, Yang Tinghui asked Dou Yuquan to say these words, I even think this is a kind of warning or reminder: you used to express your opinions too fully before you would be rectified, you continue to "do nothing", as long as you do a good job of military training on your hands, otherwise, think less and say less.
I have to admit:
Yang Tinghui is a leader with great military combat ability and great understanding of internal struggle tactics; he knows how to grasp people's fatal flaws and weaknesses and be targeted, and he also knows how to warm people's hearts with compassion and care.
Write at the end:
The reason why "The Sky of History" is classic is that it has created many unique characters, that it gathers the emotions and emotions that people should have, and that it presents many intriguing and thought-provoking details.
Just like when you suddenly push open a small window and find that the window is a vast world, "The Sky of History", with details as the "window", is enough to glimpse the real "world" at that time.
And once it's real, there's value.
I always remember Zhang Pujing's words in the anti-Japanese sweep:
Chinese people are invincible, invincible!
Struggle, both external and internal, victory is always based on justice.
Under the sky of history, the ancestors who always have great righteousness and selflessness!
salute!
