Premier Zhou suddenly sternly reprimanded Qiao Guanhua: "Don't you know how many pounds and taels you have!" Go back and write checks! ”
preface
On July 27, 1953, when the dust of the Korean War finally settled, China and North Korea stood on the side of justice, smashed the military blackmail of the US aggressors, and the volunteers returned home in triumph, to the delight of the people of the whole country.
In order to commend the heroes who bravely killed the enemy on the battlefield and to inspire the delegates at the negotiating table who constantly exposed the US conspiracy, Premier Zhou specially held a state banquet to celebrate everyone's victory.
First, Premier Zhou angrily rebuked Qiao Guanhua!
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone began to recall the thrilling deeds on the battlefield. While chatting in the middle of the day, Premier Zhou, who has always treated people like a spring breeze, suddenly sternly reprimanded Qiao Guanhua: "Don't you know how many pounds and taels you have!" Go back and write checks! ”
Premier Zhou treats people with spring breeze and rain, and few people see him angry, but now the angry Premier Zhou has instantly cooled down the originally lively state banquet.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering what Qiao Guanhua had done to make Premier Zhou so angry?
It turned out that at the wine table, Qiao Guanhua drank a few more glasses of wine because of the victory of the Korean armistice negotiations, and when he was drunk, he shook his glass and said loudly in front of everyone: "The victory of this negotiation depends on me Qiao Guanhua, you don't know how draining it was at that time, if it were not for my resourcefulness, the Americans would not have easily agreed to the armistice!" ”
Someone asked puzzled: "Isn't there someone else, Li Kenong and Li Lao are also there." ”
Unexpectedly, Qiao Guanhua "snorted" with great disdain: "His old man only sits in the rear to command, and he is very relaxed." It's just me who is busy and hands-on. Saying that, he also patted his chest excitedly and assured: "What I said is the truth, if you don't believe it, ask others." ”
Because Li Kenong is relatively old, some people will affectionately call him an old man.
But apparently Qiao Guanhua's tone did not have much respect for Li Kenong. No one dared to take Qiao Guanhua's words, just when Premier Zhou heard their conversation, he immediately strode over, looking at everyone who looked at each other and Qiao Guanhua, who had lost his demeanor, and he scolded sharply: "Qiao Guanhua! Do you know how many pounds you have, go back and write the check! ”
Premier Zhou's reprimand made Qiao Guanhua sober up from his drunkenness, and the thought of what he had just said made him annoyed.
I could only put down the wine glass and go home, thinking about it and not knowing how to explain my drunken gaffe, and waited until the next day that Qiao Guanhua dared to see Premier Zhou, and when he trembled and pushed open the door of Premier Zhou's office, he found Premier Zhou sitting in front of him waiting for Qiao Guanhua to come to the door to explain.
Second, be humble
"Last night was my bad, I shouldn't have drunk and gaffed." Qiao Guanhua's explanation is incomprehensible.
But Premier Zhou sighed and shook his head and said, "You still haven't realized your mistake and generalized about it." ”
This made Qiao Guanhua feel puzzled, and only then did Premier Zhou tell Qiao Guanhua the real situation. It turned out that the reason why Li Kenong sat in command and coordination was not laziness in his work and putting up bureaucratic shelves, but that Li Kenong himself was doing intelligence work, and he could not be exposed to anyone, otherwise his life would easily be in danger. At the same time, Li Kenong is old.
During the Anti-Japanese War, his body left various hidden dangers, and this time he went to the Korean battlefield to negotiate, which was personally instructed by Chairman Mao, and Li Kenong was also ordered to go to the bad front line at the risk of illness. He also wanted to work by himself like Qiao Guanhua, but his body did not allow it, and he shouldered the expectations of the motherland, so he could only sit and command in the rear.
Qiao Guanhua, who learned the truth, was stunned for a while, thinking of last night's drunken remarks.
Feeling guilty, he couldn't help but red his eyes, he lowered his head and said sincerely: "It's my mistake, I'm sorry, Premier Zhou, I shouldn't be partial and ignorant of the facts." ”
But Premier Zhou shook his head: "You shouldn't apologize to me, you should apologize to Li Lao." ”
This made Qiao Guanhua difficult, last night's banquet Li Kenong could not participate because of poor health, but he will definitely know about it afterwards, which makes Qiao Guanhua dare not face Li Kenong, for fear that the other party will embarrass him.
But he thought about it and felt that since he wanted to review, he must obtain the forgiveness of the parties.
So Qiao Guanhua made up his mind bitterly, wrote a letter of apology, like a guilty plea, with a letter of apology, personally found Li Kenong and read the letter of apology aloud to him, but Li Kenong was not impressed, waved his hand and said: "You did it yourself, I coordinated and commanded to win the negotiation, this is indeed the case, which shows that we cooperate well!" ”
Li Kenong wittily resolved Qiao Guanhua's embarrassment, which also made Qiao Guanhua grateful, and at the same time deeply admired Li Kenong's mind.
3. Covert front-line workers
So what kind of person is Li Kenong? Why did Premier Zhou defend him so much? What kind of dilemma has occurred with the United States at the North Korean negotiating table?
Li Kenong was born in Chao County, Anhui Province in 1899, and his father worked in the government department, so Li Kenong received a good education from an early age.
The revolutionary consciousness also awakened early because of his father. Since ancient times, Li Kenong and Premier Zhou had the same wish, that is, to study and fight for the rise of China.
After participating in the revolution, because the central government decided to train dark line workers, Li Kenong was one of them. He was admitted to the Shanghai Wireless Administration with his extraordinary intelligence, and his top boss was Xu Enzeng, director of the Central Investigation Bureau, and Li Kenong had the heart to contact Xu Enzeng.
And he was fond of it, and soon won Xu Enzeng's trust.
In order to establish a character, Li Kenong fully grasped the inferior nature of the bourgeoisie and vividly expressed his oppressive, critical, scoundrel, and vexatious faces. Xu En had personally selected a deputy for him, and the person selected was actually Song Jiren, who was sent by the central government to connect with Li Kenong, and on the surface, Li Kenong was embarrassed by Song Jiren everywhere, but in fact, Song Jiren took the intelligence away from the Kuomintang in full view.
Under Li Kenong's superb performance, almost all the information within the Kuomintang was mastered by our party.
After the dangerous lurking work has temporarily come to an end, the miracle created by Li Kenong continues.
During the Long March, the Red Army had to cross the Jinsha River, because there were no boats, and they had to snatch boats from local landowners, otherwise they had to wait to be surrounded by the Kuomintang. However, the seizure of ships had to be done quickly, and delaying it for too long was extremely detrimental to the Red Army.
But the snatching of ships is inevitably a battle of arms, how can casualties be reduced and time compressed?
Li Kenong said with a quick move: "It's better for us to pretend to be the Kuomintang, and those landlords won't say much when they see it, so that we can save time and firepower." ”
Liu Bocheng, who commanded the battle, strongly agreed with Li Kenong's opinion, so under the command of the two, the Red Army crossed the Jinsha River without a single soldier.
IV. The "Needle of the Sea" in North Korea's Negotiations
This shows Li Kenong's flexibility and wit, and at the same time, he also has a steady side, which can always play a role in stabilizing people's hearts at critical moments. During the Korean War, the mainland and the United States negotiated and selected Li Kenong.
But most people's impression of Li Kenong is that he is outstanding in intelligence work and does not seem to have performed well in negotiations. In fact, on the contrary, in 1936, Zhang Xueliang launched the Xi'an Incident, which led to the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
But Mr. Zhang initially disdained working with the Communist Party, and it was Mr. Li who turned his mind around.
Therefore, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the negotiations proposed by the United States on the Korean battlefield, and the North Korean side was forced by the United States to retreat at the negotiating table, the mainland immediately sent Li Kenong to North Korea to provide advice for North Korea.
But at that time, because of his poor health, Li Kenong was easily exhausted at the negotiating table, in order to relieve Li Kenong's pressure.
Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou discussed and decided to make Qiao Guanhua Li Kenong's deputy to assist Li Kenong in the negotiations.
When North Korea faced the strong attitude of the United States, it was really overwhelmed at first, until Li Kenong and Qiao Guanhua rushed to the North Korean rear, and they were grateful.
Li Kenong said directly: "No matter what conditions the United States puts forward, do not answer positively, do not follow their rhythm, because we must also clarify our own conditions." ”
"But if we don't give them the answers they want, they will be silent." North Korean representatives felt helpless.
And Li Kenong waved his hand and said: "What are you afraid of!" They are silent, and you are silent, this is a stalemate, whoever relaxes first counts who loses. ”
Therefore, under the command of Li Kenong and Qiao Guanhua, when the North Korean delegates again faced the unreasonable demands of the United States, they did not answer, which made the United States angry.
The two sides fight for psychology and perseverance. In the end, the United States could not sit still and slapped the table and shouted: "Since you do not agree, we will see you on the battlefield!" ”
However, both North Korean soldiers and volunteers are fighting heroically on the battlefield, so the United States has to continue to negotiate with North Korea, and not bowing down is the bottom line and principle in Li Kenong's view, and it cannot back down one step.
epilogue
In the end, the United States and North Korea jointly signed an armistice agreement at the negotiating table.
North Korea's peace cannot be achieved without the help of the mainland and Li Kenong's personal contribution at the negotiating table.
We must learn from Li Kenong's humble heart, steady as Mount Tai's spirit, and contribute our own strength in social construction!
