The next day, Liu Xiangyun drove to the residence where Enlai was staying. As soon as he met Xiangyun, he told him: "Vice Chairman Zhou, my brother arranged for me to accompany you for a visit and inspection. Due to the confidentiality, she asked me to tell you that she could not accompany you in person, and I apologize!" Enlai smiled and said: "Commander Mu is so polite. I understand very much. I don't know where to arrange for me to visit?"

Xiangyun said: "Brother arranged for you to visit Shanxi University first. He said that Shanxi University is currently very famous in the northwest and even in the country. As far as I know, Shanxi University has become a comprehensive university with a complete range of disciplines and a military research institute on the campus. Is Vice Chairman Zhou interested you?" Enlai said happily when he heard this, "It's great! We'll go now if we can't ask for it."

The president of Shanxi University, Mr. Zhou, is a friend of Mu Yaping, who is very enthusiastic and accompanied him in person to visit. During the visit, the president told me how Commander Mu supported education, how to meet the funds for running schools, how to open the door to convenience, etc. The president knew it well. In short, Shanxi University can now form its scale and is closely related to Mu Yaping.

Education is a great plan for a long time. Gu Yeping has already learned that Mu Yaping attaches so much importance to education. What he saw at Shanxi University today still shocked him. Especially when visiting the Military Research Institute, he was shocked. The Jin army was actually building its own military research team, and it could be developed independently in conventional weapons. Zhou Enlai thought to himself: Mu Yaping probably involved all aspects in preparing for war. He decided that this trip to Shanxi must carefully and thoroughly investigate, and he must understand Mu Yaping's measures from the other hand.

For five consecutive days, Xiangyun accompanied Enlai to visit Shanxi University, Taiyuan Arsenal, Taiyuan Military Academy, etc., and personally felt the booming development of Taiyuan. During this period, he and Mu Yaping met again, and Mu Yaping handed over the drafted provisions on the secret agreement between the two sides to Zhou Enlai. Enlai did not expect Mu Yaping to consider it so thoughtful that this secret agreement was recognized by Enlai without any changes.

Enlai proposed to go to Wuyuan area for inspection. Mu Yaping happily agreed and told Xiangyun to take good care of Mr. Zhou. At that time, Mr. Zhou could go directly to Shenmu area from Wuyuan area to visit directly, and then return to the base area through Yulin in Shenmu area. Since Mu Yaping could not send him publicly, when he was about to part, Mu Yaping held Enlai's hand and nodded solemnly. At this time, silence was better than sound, and neither side said a word.

The train ran between the mountains and ridges, and the mountains, trees and gullies on both sides kept flying backwards. Although the train carriage was very simple, Enlai was still incredible. How did Mu Yaping build this major artery of the railway? It was also the first time that Xiangyun took the direct train from Taiyuan to Wuyuan, and the novelty prompted her to keep looking out the window.

Because they were traveling secretly, they were arranged in ordinary bus compartments. The only spacious point was that the two pairs of benches were their relatives. Enlai and Xiangyun sat opposite each other near the window, and the two guards sat on both sides. Enlai looked at Xiangyun's excited face and asked, "Ms. Liu, can you see that you have never taken this train?"

Xiangyun withdrew his eyes and asked in surprise: "Mr. Zhou, how did you see it?" "The answers were written on your face," Enlai said with a smile. Xiangyun said: "Last year, after the railway from Taiyuan to Wuyuan was completed, I had no time to experience it. If it weren't for Mr. Zhou, I wouldn't have had this opportunity. I would have wanted to go to Wuyuan to see it, and this time I got what I wanted."

Enlai seemed to remember something and was about to ask questions. Suddenly he realized that it was on the train and was surrounded by strangers. He turned his head and began to look out the scenery outside the window, but his thoughts were not on the scenery. He wanted to tell Xiangyun that he would tell Gu Yeping that he would build a cadre school in Yan'an, which would require these two to gather talents and provide funds. Enlai guessed that Xiangyun and his wife, as members of the Muslim Group, would definitely have no problem with their wealth.

After visiting Shanxi University, Zhou Enlai and Mu Yaping signed a secret agreement, he thought about it after some thought. After he decided to go back, he discussed with the chairman and the boss that the situation had changed and it was a matter of time before the formation of a united front. The future work may be transferred to the base itself and preparation for combat against Japan. Mu Yaping proposed the issue of marching into Xinjiang, establishing a major channel from Yan'an to Xinjiang and gaining support from the Soviet Union. He believed that it was very feasible and he should discuss it carefully after returning.

The train arrived in Wuyuan successfully, and Jiang Sen and Anxiang went to the station to greet him. Jiang Sen received a telegram from Mu Yaping, saying that a friend was going to Wuyuan for investigation. Before leaving, Gu Yeping told Xiangyun not to reveal the identity of Vice Chairman Zhou, but during the trip, Xiangyun could not help but tell Enlai about Jiang Sen and Anxiang's identity, and said that the development of the party organization was the best in Wuyuan area.

Enlai was overjoyed when he heard this news. It seemed that the Shaanxi-Gansu base area would be able to gain strong support in the future by taking advantage of the superior conditions of Wuyuan area. Especially Jiang Sen, as the military and political chief of Wuyuan area, this advantage was unexpected. The train successfully arrived at Wuyuan. An Xiang and Xiangyun hugged each other as soon as they met. A pair of good friends were sister-in-law and sister-in-law. The intimacy of the two at the station left the big men present aside. Jiang Sen took the initiative to hold Enlai's hand and said, "Mr. Zhou, welcome you to Wuyuan. Commander Mu ordered in the telegram that Mr. Zhou could visit anywhere in Wuyuan. Commander Mu said: Wuyuan area has no secrets to Mr. Zhou."

En said: "Mr. Jiang, thank Commander Mu for your kindness again." He looked at Jiang Sen's smart and capable face and felt very comfortable. Looking at the prosperous scenery of Wuyuan, Enlai seemed to feel like he was back home. In addition, during his conversation with Mu Yaping, he received an unexpected news that the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces in the Northeast had grown to 300,000 people at the most glorious time.

According to Mu Yaping, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces have been reduced to more than 30,000 under the clearance of the Japanese and puppet troops, and their command seems to be the Soviets in command. This situation attracted the attention of Enlai. Therefore, he wanted to use Mu Yaping's intelligence power in the Northeast to contact the North Manchuria Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.

I got too much news from Mu Yaping, so Zhou Enlai was naturally not in the mood to stay in Wuyuan for a long time. Accompanied by Jiang Sen and Xiangyun, Enlai hurriedly visited several factories, farms, agricultural research institutes in Wuyuan area, and visited Wuyuan Military Academy. Enlai recorded all the situation he saw in a notebook, and he was going to go back and digest it slowly.

In early March, Xiangyun accompanied Enlai to Ordos through Baotou, and then crossed the Yellow River to enter northern Shaanxi. After visiting Shenmu Industrial Zone for two days, Enlai was as eager as he returned. Xiangyun personally sent Enlai to Yulin, bought a large number of daily necessities in Yulin, packed several carriages, and witnessed Enlai and his party enter the base. Then Xiangyun returned to Shenmu and went to Taohua Manor to visit relatives.

The flowers were divided into two flowers, each with one branch. After a few days of itinerary, Zhou Enlai quickly returned to Wayaobao, where the temporary central government was located. The chairman held the secret agreement in his hand and listened to Enlai's report: "Now we have a deep understanding of Mu Yaping, and everything Enlai saw and felt personally made us basically understand the pulse of this person. This person is a firm nationalist, and he supports our party's propositions and refuses to leave the Kuomintang camp. Therefore, it is not difficult for us to see now that the conclusion we have drawn before is correct, and everything this person has done is indeed preparing for the war against Japan."

En said: "The situation in the northeast and the situation in Qinghai-Gansu provinces that I mentioned, as well as the suggestion of sending troops to Xinjiang, should attract our attention." Zhu De said: "There is such a good situation around us. It seems that our military struggle will change. I think the measures to recommend sending troops to Xinjiang can be considered. If we base ourselves on Xinjiang and obtain the assistance from the Soviet Union, it will undoubtedly be a driving force for our own growth."

The chairman analyzed: "The time is not ripe to enter Xinjiang. The reason is that our own problems have not been resolved yet, and the differences within the party are still shaking our hands and feet. There are two points in the next central work. First, it is to persuade the Second Front Army and the Fourth Front Army to go north as soon as possible. Second, it is necessary to do the work of Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng as soon as possible, form an anti-Japanese national united front as soon as possible, end the civil war, and unanimous foreign countries are the consensus of the whole nation. The situation is more beneficial to us, and we must keep a clear mind."

Enlai added: "We signed a secret agreement with Shanxi. The most urgent task is to use Shanxi's economic assistance to us and build the economic construction of the base as soon as possible. When I visited Wuyuan area, I did not expect that the local Supreme Chief Executive was actually our comrade. I suggested taking advantage of the huge advantages of Wuyuan area to form an economic scale as soon as possible. The next step is to establish a special institution to focus on economic construction."

The Chairman said: "The situation has happened so much, and we cannot stick to the rules. We must learn good things, use the past for the present and use the foreign for the Chinese, and we must have a pragmatic attitude. Especially the rent reduction and interest reduction in Shanxi, I think it is very good. It is undoubtedly the best measure for uniting people of all walks of life. It should be vigorously promoted in the base area, which will have a profound impact on resolving conflicts between all parties. In addition, in terms of economic construction, we must also learn from Shanxi with humility."

Enlai continued: "Commander Mu suggested that food be captured first, and food is the most important thing for the people. We should make full use of Shanxi to provide us with the opportunity to provide us with excellent rice seeds and vigorously plant rice in areas with sufficient water resources. I think this area will be effective quickly and is particularly important for solving our food problems. I suggest that we also take advantage of the unpredictable model to build military farms."

The actions of the three people laid the foundation for the future development model of the base area. History will change again at this moment. This change may not be visible or touched now. As time goes by, this subtle effect will affect the progress of these explorers who determine the fate of China. A great era may come early.

Mu Yaping's butterfly effect finally began to transform from quantitative change to qualitative change, and the ending might be difficult for him to guess.
