Northwest Years 西北岁月 Episode 14

After many years, Xi Zhongxun felt very uncomfortable when he saw that his third uncle had gray hair and an old back. He understood that he had managed the family's life all these years. For this reason, Xi Zhongxun gave some money to his third uncle, who hoped that Xi Zhongxun could bring his younger brother Xi Zhongkai back. All the men in the family went to make revolution and were worried that there would be no one to spread the word, but Xi Zhongxun believed that now was a critical period. If Every household considers its own little things, and may become a slave to the subjugation of the country in the future. After listening to Xi Zhongxun's words, the third uncle no longer insisted and understood Xi Zhongxun's family and country justice.

On the other side, the Kuomintang held the Fifth Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee and formulated the anti-communist policy of "dissolving, preventing, and limiting communism." Chiang Kai-shek found Hu Zongnan and prepared to hand over the northwest to the other party, while he took charge of the southwest and stated that he would inherit the Huangpu spirit. , everything that goes against the Three People's Principles must be resolutely resisted, and implementation with one heart and one virtue is their motto for moving forward.

After a quick meeting with his uncle and sister, Xi Zhongxun returned to Xunyi and started working. In early 1939, the Kuomintang began to adopt an anti-communist policy and continued to create friction with the Communist Party. The central government decided to withdraw the Fifth Honor School of the Eighth Route Army to the Guanzhong area, but was stopped by the Kuomintang on the way. The leader was You Fengshan of the Ninth Security Regiment.

Zhang Fengqi and Guo Bingkun told Xi Zhongxun that Xunyi County Magistrate Liu Minqi, newly assigned by the Kuomintang Supervisory Office, had ordered not to sell food and vegetables to honorary school personnel. Xi Zhongxun proposed that they should immediately prepare to confront the Kuomintang die-hard anti-communist forces. Since they sabotaged it first, they would There is no need to be merciful, and we must firmly grasp the independent initiative of our party in a timely manner.

In May of the same year, the county magistrate Liu Minqi colluded with Wei Haihang and ordered people to pretend to be bandits to obstruct the transportation of supplies by the Eighth Route Army Honors School. They were killed on the spot, which aroused dissatisfaction among the people in the Honors School and came to demand an explanation. Unexpectedly, Wei Hai ordered the shooting to death. Injuring many personnel of the Honors School and creating the "Xunyi Incident".

Xi Zhongxun and others personally came to negotiate with Wei Hai and Liu Minqi. First of all, they asked them to immediately release the detained Honors School personnel and hand over the murderers; secondly, they must ensure the normal passage of CCP personnel and publish a newspaper to clarify the facts to the people across the country and solemnly Apologize. However, the other party refused to admit it, and even dismissed the evidence. Xi Zhongxun spoke righteously and argued hard, exposing the die-hards' conspiracy, and angrily criticized the die-hards of the Kuomintang for their passive resistance to the war and active anti-communism.

In order to prevent the matter from getting too big, Liu Minqi lied and claimed to report to the summit for instructions, and then announced that he would set up a joint investigation team to allow Xi Zhongxun and others to take the injured back before the matter was investigated clearly. As a result, Xi Zhongxun temporarily agreed to this arrangement, and before leaving, he warned them not to cause more trouble and friction.

After returning to the base area, Xi Zhongxun arranged for all members of the Honor School to evacuate, guessing that the Kuomintang was preparing to break up, and the only battalion should enter combat status as soon as possible to be prepared for Liu Minqi's counterattack at any time. Mao Zedong also met with reporters from various newspapers and made a clear statement on recent events. He believed that this was a conspiracy by the enemy forces with ulterior motives to undermine the anti-Japanese united front. The Communist Party was not the enemy of the Kuomintang. The two sides should not oppose or restrict each other, but should unite with each other. Assist, unite to defeat the traitors and traitors, and actively resist foreign enemies.

Subsequently, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party exchanged fire again. Reinforcements from the remaining regiments arrived at the frontline positions. After holding on for seven days and seven nights, not a single inch of ground was lost. All members of the Honor School safely evacuated from the rear. However, there were still three students who were unwilling to leave. Xi Zhongxun personally came to persuade them, telling them that they should transfer for a long-term plan, so that no matter where they were, they could cultivate more talents for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. Before leaving, Xi Zhongkai and Xi Zhongxun had a long talk. Both brothers worked hard for the revolutionary cause.

Faced with the Kuomintang's economic blockade, the Northwest Bureau asked the Guanzhong Division to actively organize salt transportation. The masses encountered difficulties while transporting salt, and they made no money and even lost their capital. Liu Renshan was so angry that he fell ill in bed. The matchmaker set his sights on Liu Renshan's daughter Liu Qiaocui and persuaded her to marry a wealthy family in the same village. However, Liu Renshan threw water at her. Get out. Dr. Zhang came to see Liu Renshan. After hearing Liu Renshan's difficulties, he lamented the difficulties brought to everyone by the ban on legal currency.
