"Do you think this would conflict with materialism?" Mr. Liang suddenly asked with a smile.
Liang Jiangtao shook his head first, and then nodded, looking a bit in a dilemma, and smiled awkwardly.
Indeed, these words were somewhat beyond his understanding.
According to the education he has received since childhood, the world is material!
Anything with an idealistic bent he instinctively regarded as wrong.
"Old Liang, stop teasing the children!" Tang Jian smiled and shook his head.
Mr. Liang looked at Liang Jiangtao's expression and smiled lightly:
"Grandpa, let me tell you a story. Back then, I was ordered to command an army to march into Tibet, and I was the vanguard! Entering Tibet from Sichuan via Kangzang, that place was really unapproachable to strangers! The towering trees that blocked the sky and the sun, The pouring rain is like God pouring down a basin of water. You can't see the sky or the road at all! During the day, the sun is blazing, and tens of thousands of troops are shuttling through the airless old forests and muddy swamps. If you’re not careful, you’ll fall in and never get out! At night, the mud can freeze into hard rocks! When it’s cold, even the rocks can freeze and crack! God, what kind of place is this?!”
"Don't look at the fact that there were already airplanes, railways, and artillery at that time. These were useless in Tibet! There were no roads, no railways, no airports, and you had to rely on camels, horses, and porters to transport food!"
"There are cliffs everywhere, deep mountains and old forests everywhere, and ravines everywhere. As you walk, you will lose your way! As you walk, you will encounter rivers reaching the sky! There are fierce whirlpools floating in the river. As soon as you get close, you will be connected. Someone took the raft and rolled it up!"
"There are also poisonous insects and ferocious beasts that seal their throats when they see blood! Hell, maybe this is what it looks like!"
"I have been fighting for so many years, and I have never seen such a harsh environment! It has only been a month since I entered the camp, and I haven't fought yet. A large number of soldiers are lost every day. I feel heartbroken!!" Mr. Liang was caught up in the memories of that year.
Liang Jiangtao was moved.
Tibet is now a popular tourist attraction with beautiful environment, high mountains and deep valleys, clear water and blue sky, and fresh air.
But if you are in the wild, thousands of miles away without a trace of people, and the miraculous creation of nature, then there are fatal dangers everywhere!
It can be called the gate to hell!
He pictured the cruel scenes of war in his mind...
In history textbooks, it seems that the liberation of Tibet was like a vast expanse of land. The army was invincible wherever it went, plowing through areas and clearing holes.
But after listening to my grandfather's words, I realized that the real situation was much more complicated and difficult.
No wonder Emperor Qianlong sent three prime ministers, a hundred thousand troops, and tens of millions of taels of silver. It took thirty years to put down the Jinchuan Chieftain Rebellion!
To liberate Tibet, the opponent is not the chieftain, but the natural environment!
The army is fighting against the harsh natural conditions.
"The war back then was different from what it is now. Unlike now, where we have reconnaissance planes, radars, and electronic communications. At most, we had a compass, a combat watch, and a makeshift radio station. Many times, the choice of fighter aircraft depended on the eyes and feelings of the commander!"
"How to command the army to advance, where to march, when to march, what to attack, and how to defend, this tests the wisdom and judgment of the army commander! Fighter opportunities, fleeting, are the core of a battle! Whether it can win or not , it should be tied to this!”
The equipment at that time was far inferior to today's, and modern transportation was basically non-existent.
The tragic situation can be imagined.
"Have you ever seen a lion hunting? Slowly hunt, wait for the opportunity, miss a hit, and escape thousands of miles away!"
"At that time, your Grandpa Tang was also at the front to counsel the military aircraft for me. I knew what he was capable of, and I specifically invited him to help before the march! Facing the great cause of liberation, he did not refuse at all! Thanks to you, Grandpa Tang, there were many times when the naked eye When I couldn’t determine the direction or timing with technological equipment, he could always give me extremely valuable advice!” Liang Laodao recalled every detail of that year.
"Although I am a person who has been released from the mortal world, I also know that the righteousness of my family and my country is my duty." Tang Lao said, and the past seems to have faded away.
Liang Jiangtao was even more moved, not only by Grandpa Tang's feelings for his family and country, but also by his magical means.
Technical equipment can't judge, so why should he judge?
"Especially the most critical battle! The sky was filled with fog and it was difficult to see the opponent clearly! We couldn't find the direction! But the military orders were like fire. We couldn't wait any longer! If we wait any longer, it would affect the whole army and have a bearing on the overall situation of liberation! But the situation ahead was unclear. It’s really hard to make a decision! I originally wanted to force myself and force my way out! But your Grandpa Tang dissuaded me!"
"He said, wait for another hour, and after one hour, there will be a solution!"
"Although I was extremely anxious, looking at his firm eyes, I decided to believe him!"
"An hour later, the east became brighter, the sun shone in, and a road gradually became clear! I laughed heartily, and immediately issued the military order to advance at full speed! The soldiers in the army were also deeply inspired, and they defeated the enemy in one go!"
"Reviewing the review afterwards, if we had marched in a hurry and happened to enter the enemy's ambush circle, the consequences would be disastrous. Even if we can win in the end, it will be a tragic victory. I don't know how many heroic souls will be sacrificed!"
Mr. Liang continued to recall the scene at that time.
Liang Jiangtao was stunned. If his grandfather hadn't said this, he must have thought it was a story.
How are these methods possible?
Those who didn't know thought it was Zhuge Wuhou's Qimen gossip, King Wu conquered Zhou, Fengming called Qishan, Emperor Xuanyuan guided the chariot...
It’s like a fairy tale!
"It was also in that battle that I got the Zhanlu Sword, which was lost there by the Qing army general! Someone wrote a poem for me, 'Ping Zang Banner Zhou Zhaobo, from Tiangu Jiao Han General'! I laughed without saying a word." In front of the Pingzang Monument, I will have a drink and talk with you Grandpa Tang, he is the hero of the people!"
"But he is just like the chivalrous man in Li Taibai's works. When he is done, he brushes off his clothes and hides his merits and fame! He is truly a great chivalrous man!"
Mr. Liang admired and praised Mr. Tang.
"Haha, after this incident, I went overseas. I'm afraid I would have to endure a great disaster if I stayed! It wasn't until after the reform and opening up that I returned to the mainland and reconnected with your grandfather." Old Tang said.
Liang Jiangtao was really shocked.
Mr. Tang, his ability is so amazing!
Also, from what he said, in the 1950s, he already knew what was going to happen in the future!
How can it be?
Is he also a reborn person? !
Liang Jiangtao could no longer conceal his shocked expression.
All of this was far beyond his cognition!
Seeing Liang Jiangtao's extremely confused look, Mr. Tang smiled and said: "Xiao Liang, you don't have to look at me like this, everything is a rule! What is the I Ching? One thing is simplicity. No matter how complex and profound things are, their essence is To put it simply, it’s like the root of the virtual world is 0 and 1. According to traditional Chinese culture, it is yin and yang. According to dialectical materialism, it is the movement of matter and consciousness. The second is change. Everything is changing every moment. Without change, , all things cannot exist. As the saying goes, "If you are poor, you will change, if you change, you will be general, and if you are general, you will be long." This is also consistent with the truth contained in the materialist dialectics of "movement is absolute, and stillness is relative." The third is that it is not easy, and everything changes. , but there is always change, everything is moving, but there is always stillness! Without change, there is no change, and without stillness, there is no movement! - The fundamental laws of heaven and earth and all things are unchanging. The Great Dao originates from the sky, and the sky does not change. , the Tao remains unchanged!"
Tang Lao's outline was very clear and authentic, and at the same time he combined it with dialectical materialism and materialist dialectics, trying to make it easier for Liang Jiangtao to accept it.
