preface
"Deng Gong is kind to me, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life."
Deng Xiaoping was pro-people
Deng Xiaoping was a man of tenacious will, who gathered strength in silence and did not stop thinking about the fate of the country for a single day.
However, he also paid great attention to his words and deeds, acted calmly and steadily, did not leave a single handle, paid attention to contacting the masses, and mingled with the masses.
On the way from Nanchang to Xinxian in 1947, Deng Xiaoping said to Zhao Zichang: "Most of my clothes are made of materials, so it is not good to participate in labor, and it is different from the workers' comrades." ”
Zhao Zichang listened, felt that the speech was very reasonable, and considered it very carefully, so he ordered Huang Wenhua to go to Xinjian County to find Li Zhaoji, director of the Revolutionary Committee, and specially made a set of blue sari card overalls for Deng Xiaoping and his wife.
In the spring of 1938, Deng Xiaoping mobilized his troops for battle in Licheng County, Shanxi
When Mr. and Mrs. Deng Xiaoping went to the workshop for the first time in overalls, the workers thought they were two teachers.
Looking at the truth from the subtleties, Deng Xiaoping gave the workers comrades a sense of intimacy on the first day of their meeting, and their distance shrank very short from the first day.
Later, with his excellent work style, he soon became a model respected by the workers. Deng Xiaoping was silent, deep in thought, and had a detached demeanor, which was also a special endowment of people who had suffered from the wind and frost of struggle.
Later, when Huang Wenhua revisited this land, he couldn't help but sigh: "Xiaoping has walked back and forth a thousand times on this trail, and the footprints he left behind will make people here forever miss the years spent with him." ”
Deng Xiaoping has always been like this, and he has always been connected with the hearts of the people. In 1980, Deng Xiaoping took the Dongfanghong 32 passenger ship to the Yangtze River.
Before coming to the Yangtze River, the relevant departments of the central authorities informed the Ministry of Communications that only one boat could be sent, and part of the tickets could be sold to passengers, and repeatedly stressed that it was necessary to ensure safety and at the same time to enable the central leading comrades to have the opportunity to approach the masses.
At that time, in addition to Comrade Deng Xiaoping's entourage, there were more than 80 passengers and staff from Sichuan Province, Hubei Province, the Ministry of Communications, and Changhang.
In order not to interfere with Comrade Xiaoping's work and rest, it was originally stipulated that ordinary comrades should try not to go to the place where Comrade Xiaoping lived.
When Deng Xiaoping learned of this, he immediately instructed the responsible comrades of the Central Guard Bureau to inform the staff of the Ministry of Communications so that the crew could go directly to his residence to meet him.
He also told the comrades of the public security department not to make the guards on the ship, and everyone should be casual.

Therefore, all those who did not see Comrade Xiaoping because of their work when Comrade Xiaoping boarded the ship were led to meet Comrade Xiaoping alone, and Comrade Xiaoping shook hands with them one by one and greeted them.
After the boat sailed to the Three Gorges, Deng Xiaoping and other leading comrades went to the three-story stern corridor to see the scenery of the Three Gorges.
A row of chairs was placed in the corridor outside the three-story stern restaurant, and all the staff on board could enjoy the scenery with Deng Xiaoping and take pictures together.
Because of the large number of people and the crowding, some passengers poked their heads out of the restaurant window behind Comrade Deng Xiaoping to take photos, and some passengers sat in chairs next to Deng Xiaoping for a group photo.
Deng Xiaoping laughed with everyone while admiring, amiable, and everyone seemed unrestrained.
As soon as many staff members saw that the chair next to Comrade Xiaoping was empty, they would rush to sit up and take a photo with him. So, many people took photos with Deng Xiaoping.
Deng Xiaoping's style of approaching people, approaching the masses, and trusting the masses made everyone very moved.
When he talked to the crew about this problem, Deng Xiaoping said in a serious tone: "The poor food on the passenger ship is a big problem. ”
He went on to say: "Chefs need to be trained, they have to compete, they have to improve their skills, and only by getting the food right can they serve the passengers well." ”
Comrade Deng Xiaoping is so busy with his work, but he never forgets the people's sufferings, and wherever he goes, he brings warmth and infinite affection for the people to everywhere!
This warmth and affection have infected hundreds of people and everyone around him.
Yang Dezhi once said: "Deng Gong is kind to me, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life." "We have to mention the 1979 counterattack against Vietnam.
Deng Xiaoping spoke at the Guangshan County Cadre Conference
On February 17, 1979, the self-defense counterattack war of China's border defense forces against Vietnam was officially launched. At that time, Yang Dezhi and Xu Shiyou led their armies from the direction of Guangxi and Yunnan to launch an attack on Vietnam.
The 316A Division of the Vietnamese Army and the Chinese army are destined to have a fierce battle in the Dai Nai area, which has a 500-meter-high mountain, and whoever can occupy this mountain can seize the opportunity.
At the beginning, the vanguard of the Vietnamese army occupied this mountain, and when Yang Dezhi learned of it, he immediately ordered that the mountain must be occupied, and after a contest with the Vietnamese army, the commanding heights were occupied by China's border troops.
At this time, the 316A Division was a little flustered, and they had originally formulated a very detailed battle plan, which was now completely disrupted. Every 20 minutes, they began to attack the positions of our border troops in an attempt to retake the lost positions.
However, the ace troops of the Vietnamese army were still weaker in front of our border troops. In the end, the 316A Division was scattered by our army and almost completely destroyed.
The border defense troops led by Yang Dezhi fought very beautifully in these battles on the Western Front. The situation on the Eastern Front, which Xu Shiyou was in charge of, was also almost a complete victory.
In the victory of the Vietnamese self-defense counterattack, Yang Dezhi and Xu Shiyou were indispensable.
The war also made the CMC aware that the tactics previously used by the Chinese military had lagged behind and that it was now necessary to reform the military establishment.
In March, Deng Xiaoping voluntarily resigned as chief of the general staff of the People's Liberation Army. Therefore, there is also an urgent need for a general with seniority and military achievements to fill the position.

Yang Dezhi and Xu Shiyou are both candidates, and it is really difficult to choose one of these two.
In this regard, in order to determine the candidate for the chief of the general staff, Deng Xiaoping personally rushed to Xu Xiangqian and Nie Rongzhen's home in the severe winter in Beijing, and they exchanged the chief of the general staff and related matters.
He also personally visited the relevant leaders. In the end, after repeated consultations between Deng Xiaoping and several veteran marshals, it was finally decided that Yang Dezhi would take over the position of chief of the general staff.
With regard to this decision, Deng Xiaoping said: Yang Dezhi is a well-known general in our army, who has grown from an ordinary soldier to a commander of a large military region, has rich combat experience, is upright, can unite comrades very well, is good at linking up with the masses, has a democratic leadership style, and is a relatively suitable candidate for chief of the general staff.
One day in mid-February 1980, Deng Xiaoping met with Yang Dezhi and conveyed to him the decision of the Central Committee to let him take over as chief of the general staff.
When he learned that the Central Military Commission wanted to serve as his own chief of the general staff, Yang Dezhi gladly accepted it and felt very honored and relieved. And for Deng Gong's trust and kindness, he has always kept in mind.
Deng Xiaoping pointed out Yang Dezhi
In addition, there is another thing that makes Yang Dezhi feel very moved, and this kindness has always been remembered in his heart.
In 1983, Yang Dezhi's daughter Yang Qiuhua and her newly married husband were honeymooning in Nanyang, Henan Province.
Tu 丨 counterattacked victorious against Vietnamese self-defense
On this day, the couple was selecting clothes at a clothing store on the street, when suddenly, several strangely dressed rushed to the couple and pointed fingers at Yang Qiuhua's appearance, and their words were full of provocation.
Yang Qiuhua's husband was from the military, and when he saw his newlywed wife being humiliated in the street, he rose from his heart and rushed forward three times, five by two, and pressed these little bastards to the ground.
Yang Qiuhua thought that this matter had come to an end, and this group of small should not dare to provoke them again. He turned around and continued shopping.
But what the couple did not expect was that one of the little they had just taught a lesson had his father-in-law serving as a deputy director of the Nanyang City Public Security Bureau, and this little had been doing whatever he wanted with his father-in-law's status as a deputy director.
Now that he was suddenly bullied like this, he swallowed this breath in his heart, and this matter would never end like this.
He immediately went back and gathered a large group of little brothers, carrying a kitchen knife in his hand, and returned to the street to find the couple who were shopping.
Although Yang Qiuhua's lover was from the military, there were too many people in front of him, and almost every one of them carried a kitchen knife in his hand.
Yang Dezhi, the founding general of the Country, was the commander of the 1st Division and 1st Regiment of the Red First Army during the Long March
Therefore, in the end, Yang Qiuhua's lover was outnumbered and lay in a pool of blood.
Yang Qiuhua saw his lover being cut down with a kitchen knife by a small, and he was so frightened that he couldn't say a word.
While supporting her husband, Yang Qiuhua hurried to reveal her identity. After this group of little saw Yang Qiuhua's identity, they realized how much trouble they had broken into, and they turned around and ran away in fright.
By this time her lover was already lying in her arms and had stopped breathing.
At this time, Yang Dezhi was participating in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam in Vietnam, and when he learned that his son-in-law had been killed, he flew back to Nanyang, Henan Province, by plane from Vietnam overnight.
Yang Dezhi did not speak all the way, he looked out the window for a while, while muttering a few words in his mouth, when he was about to get off the plane, he said a sentence: "Henan's public security is now a problem, we must take measures to avoid more people being victimized." ”
After Yang Dezhi got off the plane, he went straight to the place where his daughter Yang Qiuhua lived, and at this time, Yang Qiuhua was lying alone on the bed and crying uncontrollably. While comforting his daughter, Yang Dezhi secretly resolved to punish these criminal and evil forces that threatened the people's lives.
In the past few days, Yang Dezhi has spent most of his time with his daughter, and after her mood has stabilized slightly, he immediately bid farewell to her daughter and flew to Beijing to meet Deng Xiaoping to report the incident.
When Deng Xiaoping learned of this, he was very surprised, and more angry. He sighed: "How can the security of Nanyang be chaotic to such an extent, and it is really incredible that the family members of the founding generals were hacked to death with kitchen knives in the street." ”
Therefore, Deng Xiaoping immediately ordered that the criminal syndicates and evil forces be strictly investigated throughout the country and that public order be maintained.
In December 1983, yang Dezhi, under the orders of Deng Gong, rushed back to Nanyang from Beijing again and joined the local police in cracking down on illegal crimes.
The local police responded positively, and specially dispatched more than 10 plainclothes policemen to patrol the Nanyang area and arrest those who undermined social order. Subsequently, Yang Dezhi personally interrogated these arrested and uprooted these criminal and evil forces through their testimony.
After thoroughly understanding the details of these, Yang Dezhi arrested this group of small for obstructing social order, including the small who killed Yang Dezhi's son-in-law.
When Deng Xiaoping learned of this, he was furious and directly ordered: Immediately shoot on the spot!
The little bastard was reluctant to give up, and after being sent to prison, he also asked someone to find his father-in-law, hoping to get help from his father-in-law.
However, the little bastard's father-in-law knew in his heart that this time was different from usual, this time it was much more complicated, and there were many people and things involved, which could not be solved in a few words.
Therefore, after careful consideration, the father-in-law of the little bastard chose to shoot his son-in-law twice in prison, ending the life of the little.
Later, he himself committed suicide by drinking bullets in his office and died in remorse.
Figure丨 Counterattack against Vietnam
It was also from this incident that the prelude to the national anti-black campaign was officially opened, and after the Nanyang incident was resolved, the whole country quickly set off a frenzy to crack down on criminal syndicates and evil forces.
Later, the state officially issued the "Decision on Severely Cracking Down on Criminal Activities", and governments at all levels responded to the call of the state and carried out centralized rectification of criminal and evil forces in society.
In just four years, 190,000 gangs of evil forces have been uprooted and more than 1.9 million members of suspects involved in criminal syndicates and evil forces have been arrested, effectively curbing the phenomenon of social crimes and exchanging a harmonious and stable happy life for the people.
It was also after this incident that Yang Dezhi was more grateful to Deng Gong, and he had expressed his gratitude to Deng Gong countless times and would always remember all this.
Deng Xiaoping encouraged Yang Dezhi
Whenever Deng Gong was mentioned, Yang Dezhi would always unconsciously say a few more words, saying: In 1981, when he and Wang Zhen, deputy chief of the general staff, reported to Deng Xiaoping on the beijing military region's plan for organizing campaign exercises and the opinions of the Central Military Commission's office meeting, Deng Gong said a sentence that benefited him deeply and was unforgettable for the rest of his life.

It was only 4 days before Yang Dezhi submitted a letter of instruction and when they reported to the chief. Deng Gong summoned him so quickly, it seemed that the time had come to make a decision.
After they were seated, Deng openly saw the mountain, and the topic went directly to the exercise.
When Yang Dezhi finished reporting on the exercise plan, Wang Zhen made some additions. Because a total of three plans have been drawn up, how to determine in the end, they need Chairman Deng to make analysis instructions.
Deng Xiaoping put it in place one step at a time: "As for the exercises, don't think about whether they will cause any reaction from the Soviet Union politically, after all, we are only conducting exercises on land, and we have also conducted them in the past!" ”
The 77-year-old Deng Xiaoping spoke slowly but forcefully. The left hand holds a cigarette, and the right hand sometimes has an emphasis action. The mind is astonishingly sharp, and the meaning of every sentence is interlocked.
"Another very important thing is that the exercise is also to cheer up the army, and we have not fought a war for a long time; such exercises also have an encouraging effect on the army; after training and then conducting real-force exercises, we can improve the actual combat level of the troops.
While recalling Deng Gong's words, Yang Dezhi pondered: Deng Xiaoping was talking about the issue of exercises, but the focus was obviously on political and strategic considerations, cheering up the troops, and having an encouraging effect.
Chairman Mao's speeches like to be quoted from the sidelines and plucked from the side. Deng Xiaoping went straight to the point. But the common denominator is that it is simple and simple, a big-talk novel, seemingly inadvertently improvised, but the deep meaning is potential.
As mentioned above, on the surface, it has not left the plan, but in fact it has gone beyond the scope of the plan and the military, and it is politically prescribing the guiding ideology for the exercise.
In 1980, the CPPCC held a New Year's Day tea party, at which Deng Xiaoping, Song Qingling, and Deng Yingchao had a cordial conversation
Deng Xiaoping told a battle example with a lot of cannonballs, and he laughed first as he talked about it, and Deng Xiaoping was rarely so happy. Yang Dezhi and Zhang Zhen will also smile.
For every word Deng Gong said, Yang Dezhi remembered -- military parade, observation, and military-civilian relations.
Zhang Zhen asked: "If you do this, you must use a sum of money and use reserve materials." ”
Deng Xiaoping nodded, "Good! That's it! ”
Zhang Zhen's March 6 letter of instruction was flattened on the desk, and Deng Xiaoping wrote a note: "Agree to the first plan and strive to save." ”

This conversation, Yang Dezhi benefited a lot, Deng Gong's encouragement and trust in himself, let him look back on many years later, feel particularly kind, and suddenly added infinite strength to his body.
He couldn't help but sigh, "Deng Gong is kind to me, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life." ”
