The friendship between the great man and Xu Shiyou can be described as a lifelong friendship, but in a chess game in 1973, because of the move played by the great man, it almost destroyed the revolutionary friendship between the two people, which directly made Xu Shiyou's face change greatly, and he hurriedly stood up and saluted the great man with a neat salute, so what happened at that time, and what was the purpose of the move that the great man took? Let Xu Shiyou be frightened into this look, after the officials give a thumbs up, and listen to brother Tan to explain it to you.
In 1906, Xu Shiyou was born in a poor rural family, at the age of 8, he went to the Shaolin Temple to learn art, after 8 years of hard work, Xu Shiyou was proficient in all kinds of martial arts, and the cornice walking on the wall was not a problem. When he went home to visit his relatives, because of his jealous and hateful personality, he directly beat to death the landlord who was bullying people. But it was precisely because of this that he could no longer return to the Shaolin Temple, and could only wander around in society, and later because of chance, he became a soldier in Wu Peifu's army, and from then on began his extraordinary military career.
In 1927, Xu Shiyou joined our party, began to fight with the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and became the main force of the Red Fourth Front army in the Long March, until he later went to Kang Da to study, and only began to have contact with great people, but the situation at that time was not very good, Zhang Guotao wanted to engage in splittist ideas, so that Xu Shiyou was affected by the Red Fourth Front, coupled with the defeat in the war, Xu Shiyou was admitted to the hospital in a huff, and wanted to take the troops back to Sichuan. This was grabbed by some extremists and suggested to the great man that he be shot, but the great man did not agree, and the two of them had a long talk on their knees, and the great man deeply admired Xu Shiyou's personality and specially issued an order to allow Xu Shiyou to bring a gun to him. After this incident, in Xu Shiyou's heart, the great man has long become a mountain of admiration, and his trust makes Xu Shiyou swear allegiance for a lifetime.
Great and Xu Shiyou have saved each other's lives, privately will be like old friends like a small gathering, when fighting, Xu Shiyou has always maintained the spirit of daring to fight and dare to rush, his rich combat experience and military ability, but also became the leader of the troops, but a meeting in 1973, but Xu Shiyou turned his face in public, so that the leaders could not get off the stage.
For more than 20 years, the commanders of the mainland have been stuck in a territory, although it can enhance the people's hearts and implement local policies, but after a long time, the drawbacks will slowly be revealed. Since ancient times, political corruption has led the country to retrogression, and great men naturally did not allow the bureaucracy to destroy the new China that had been hard to establish, so they decided to carry out army reform, which took the lead in adjusting from the commander of the military region and carrying out local adjustments in the eight military regions.
In order to better carry out military reform, the great men held an enlarged meeting in the capital, and the main contents of the meeting were twofold: one was to resolutely implement and drop all plans and resolutely obey the orders issued by the central authorities; the other was not to relax our vigilance and be ready for war at all times. And this first item is closely related to military reform, the great man believes that people are inert, staying in a place for a long time will appear perfunctory situation, when the decision of the commander of the eight major military regions to adjust the decision was issued, the meeting was momentarily silent, everyone fell into surprise and doubt. In this regard, the great man also explained: "A person who stays in a place for a long time will become oily, and for more than 20 years, people will be passive and sluggish." ”
Subsequently, the commanders of the military region all expressed their understanding of the words of the great man, and after the meeting, the agreement on the exchange was basically determined, but in the eight major military regions, there were also many voices of opposition, Xu Shiyou was the one with the strongest opinion, when the list of transfers read his name, Xu Shiyou did not actively respond, but very dissatisfied and fiercely put down the teacup, making a great noise in the venue, putting the person in charge in an extremely embarrassing situation, and later the premier took over the list and re-announced the plan for the transfer, which eased the deadlock. Afterwards, Xu Shiyou told the others: "Chairman Mao asked me to stay in Nanjing, and I will not go anywhere!" ”
Seeing that the military reform had been hindered at the beginning, Ye Jianying and the commander of the Beijing Military Region found the great man and reflected this matter to him, and the great man thought about it, nodded his head lightly, and said: "I do seem to have said such a thing", but then the great man did not get angry because of Xu Shiyou's approach, but lit a cigarette, smiled and said to them: "You go and call Commander Xu, I want to play chess with him." Although Xu Shiyou was not good at chess, as soon as he heard that it was invited by a great man, he sorted out his appearance and came over.
On the way here, Xu Shiyou was full of anxiety, thinking that the great man would definitely want to talk to him about the right thing, but he did not expect that the great man was just playing chess with him, and decided not to talk about the matter of the right exchange, and it did not take long for Xu Shiyou to sit still, and he said with a little dissatisfaction: "The chairman promised me before that he would let me stay in the Nanjing Military Region, and now he wants to transfer me away, and there must be an explanation for how to do it."
On the coffee table on the side, the great man has already laid out the chessboard, Xu Shiyou has been in the official field for many years, naturally knows that there are also mysteries in the chess game, he hesitated to pick up a red chess piece in the "soldier", just moved forward a small step, representing that he will always be a soldier under the great man, the red man landed, it was the turn of the great man, did not expect the next step of the great man, let Xu Shiyou be surprised. Among so many chess pieces that can be walked, the great man picked a "will" and moved forward a step, this move made Xu Shiyou confused, although he was not good at chess, but he also knew that "will" and "phase" determined the win or loss of the whole game of chess, usually at the beginning will not use these two, such a simple truth, how can the great man not understand?
So Xu Shiyou asked very curiously: "Chairman, you have a car and a picture, a horse and a cannon, why did you go first?" After listening to the chairman's words, Xu Shiyou instantly understood that this "commander does not move" is not talking about himself, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, stood up in a sincere trepidation and saluted the great man, and immediately replied: "Chairman I listen to you, and you will fight where you will fight in the future." With Xu Shiyou's firm and strong commitment, the great man immediately laughed: "This is right."
After that, Xu Shiyou packed up his bags and went from Nanjing to Guangzhou without hesitation, without a trace of complaint or even very positive in the whole process, which also set an example for other generals with opinions and greatly promoted the implementation of the military reform of the eight major military regions. After taking office in Guangzhou, Xu Shiyou changed his violent temper in the past, his admiration for the great man went further, he ran and worked hard every day to fulfill the orders of the great man, and this military reform also made unprecedented progress in the military strength of our party.
Although the great man was not angry with Xu Shiyou, through the method of playing chess, he saved his face, and second, he was more afraid and knew what he had done wrong, so that Xu Shiyou could willingly defend the country's decision, and in the future, he would be strict with himself and be more cautious in his words and deeds. It is said that people are not sages and can be blameless, and great people, as leaders, are not only good at leading soldiers to fight, but also very good at knowing people and doing good job, handling subordinate relations with an attitude of respect and understanding, after all, compared to punishment, "subduing people with virtue" is the longest way to maintain. So I wonder what different views do you officials have? Welcome to discuss and share with Tango in the comment area!
