Speaking of the role of Kong Jie in "Bright Sword", I believe that many people's first impression is "mediocre", thinking that he is the most useless person in the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi.
Because Kong Jie is inferior to Li Yunlong in tactics and Ding Wei in strategic vision, his comprehensive ability is very poor.
But in fact, many people have been "deceived" by film and television dramas, because in the original work of "Bright Sword", Kong Jie is a very thoughtful person, especially a letter to Li Yunlong, which contains deep meaning.
The description that seems to be like "classical Chinese" actually contains three meanings, which not only fully demonstrates his own strength, but also ensures his own situation, as well as the urgency to save Li Yunlong.
"Three Meanings of a Secret Letter"
In the original work of "Bright Sword", Kong Jie has risen to a higher level of mind after the baptism of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and he is no longer the "Kong Er" in Li Yunlong's mouth.
With the passage of time, when it came to that special period, only Kong Jie was alone, and among those old comrades-in-arms, the first person to pass away was Zhao Gang.
For Zhao Gang's death, in fact, it was doomed from the beginning, he was a very idealistic person, and what he hated the most was that someone was "engaging in privileges".
When Zhao Gang was working in Beijing, he found that the phenomenon of "engaging in privileges" was very common, and his ideals were distorted and questioned.
Later, when Zhao Gang met Li Yunlong, he bluntly expressed his opinion, he said that there is a very bad phenomenon in the kindergarten, at a young age, he is older than his father, and whose car is higher.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Gang sighed again: "Back then, we fought with blood and sacrificed so many comrades-in-arms, is this what it is for?" Many people's food and clothing have not been solved, and some people have begun to engage in privileges, and their children are more expensive than the people's money? ”
Through this scene, we can see that Zhao Gang's words can be described as hitting the nail on the head, and his expression became heavy after he finished speaking.
It's just that Li Yunlong didn't realize the other party's abnormality, but thought that Zhao Gang was making too much of a fuss, and this scene also explained that Li Yunlong must live longer than Zhao Gang.
And this is exactly the case, in that special period, Zhao Gang and his wife Feng Nan's faith collapsed and they chose to commit suicide.
The second old comrade-in-arms who suffered was Ding Wei, who was framed by some special people for expressing his opinions, and was finally imprisoned.
Seeing that his former comrades-in-arms suffered one after another, Kong Jie understood that the next one would be Li Yunlong, after all, his personality was very jealous and hateful.
In order to protect Li Yunlong's safety, Kong Jie wrote a letter to the other party overnight, wanting Li Yunlong to understand his true thoughts.
In this letter, Kong Jie wrote: "However, the rivers and lakes are sinister, the fate is ill-fated, the guns are open and the arrows are hidden, the brother is unable to prevent it, and the grandson said, those who make good use of the soldiers hide their shapes, and they show nothing, at this juncture, why don't my brothers "hide their shapes"..."
Although the content of this letter is very small and quite in the style of classical Chinese, it contains three layers of meaning that Kong Jie wants to express, each of which explains how to keep Li Yunlong.
The first meaning Kong Jie expressed his own situation, he knew how to avoid getting angry in this special environment, and at the same time advised Li Yunlong to adopt the same method, that is, "if you can endure it, you will endure".
The second meaning Kong Jie expressed his own strength, he modestly said that he had a lot of troops, and the place where he was stationed was absolutely safe, which meant that Li Yunlong would be safe and sound when he came to him.
The third meaning Kong Jie expressed his concern for Li Yunlong's life, and he connotatively said that he now holds a lot of power and is in an important position, hoping that the other party can stay here and spend his safety.
Of course, in this letter, Kong Jie also expressed Li Yunlong's life-saving grace to himself in the past, and also explained that Kong Jie would not be ungrateful and would not save him when he died.
It's a pity that for Kong Jie's kindness, although Li Yunlong understands this truth, his innate military backbone does not allow him to survive.
Of course, this was also influenced by Ding Wei, when Li Yunlong learned that Ding Wei was arrested and imprisoned, he was saddened by the other party's suffering, and at the same time, he was also angry about his current behavior.
Li Yunlong thought that he was too cowardly, and he "groveled" in order to save his life, and did not dare to say or do as much as Ding Wei.
In the end, Li Yunlong chose to shoot himself under the humiliation, and before making this choice, he entrusted it to Kong Jie in order for his and Zhao Gang's children to grow up safely.
And when Kong Jie received the children, his mood was very heavy, and he seemed to have expected Li Yunlong's ending.
In addition, looking at Kong Jie's actions in "Bright Sword", he is actually the most underestimated general, not a useless "Kong Erdu".
"The most underrated person in 'Bright Sword'"
After the liberation of the country, many generals of the People's Liberation Army came to study at the Military Academy, and Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie were naturally among them.
Although the three of them were all born with mud legs, Kong Jie was not averse to learning, and when Li Yunlong and Ding Wei were ridiculing that learning was useless, he retorted seriously: "The superiors sent us to study, naturally there is a reason from the superiors, but we don't dare to complain." ”
Through this scene, we can see that in fact, Kong Jie still loves to learn in his heart, and his lack of learning before is nothing more than a forced reason.
In terms of performance in class, Kong Jie opened up a gap with Li Yunlong and Ding Wei, and when the two showed off their achievements one by one, Kong Jie looked ahead intently.
Not only that, while Li Yunlong and Ding Wei were messing around, Kong Jie was studying the ancient military books very carefully in private, and I saw him reading while walking: "Those who do not seek the world are not enough to seek a moment, and those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain..."
The most important thing is that Kong Jie really read these ancient military books in the academy, indicating that the methods of fighting in the past were the same as the soldiers and horses inside.
Later, when Li Yunlong asked Kong Jie why he worked so hard to study, his remarks hit the nail on the head, revealing the shortcomings of our army's tactics at present.
Kong Jie believes that our army's tactics to fight the national army are okay, but fighting with the United States will cause great losses, and he proposed that the current tactical strategy is outdated, and if we want to keep up with the pace of the times, we must learn more.
Through this, it is not difficult to see that Kong Jie has already surpassed Ding Wei and Kong Jie in terms of strategic vision and mentality, and at the same time, he is also destined to a happy ending.
