Ye Ting and Xiang Ying have problems? What contradiction? Why is there?

Ye Ting and Xiang Ying have contradictions in living habits, army command and army building.

In life, due to their different backgrounds and experiences, there are bound to be some different styles and habits. For example, Ye Ting often asked his chef to cook some hometown dishes, and invited Xiang Ying and other military leaders to have dinner with his old comrades who followed him to the New Fourth Army. Ye Ting also loves photography. In his spare time, he often takes a camera to photograph the scenery around his residence. When people at home and abroad visit, he always likes to take some photos as a souvenir. For Ye Ting's hobbies and habits, Xiang Ying thought it was contrary to the style of "hard struggle" he advocated, so he never went there again after two dinners in Ye Ting, and reminded others in the army to go as little as possible. People in the army gradually alienated Ye Ting.

Ye Ting was appointed as the commander of the New Fourth Army as a non-party member. At that time, the Party was responsible for the Party Committee in the New Fourth Army, and all the work was carried out by the Party's organizational system. So at work, although Ye Ting is the commander, but because he is not party member, he can't attend some important meetings and read the instructions of the CPC Central Committee. Even the commander post, Xiang Ying won't let Ye Ting to do it.

In terms of army building, Ye Ting has always advocated strengthening the regularization of our army to improve its combat effectiveness. But Xiang Ying doesn't think so. He is worried that Ye Ting will throw out the "fine tradition" that our army should maintain. On the strategic policy, Ye Ting is very much in favor of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China's strategic policy of "developing northward and consolidating southward" for the New Fourth Army. At that time, the south was the base camp of 300 thousand troops in the third theater of the Kuomintang. The southward movement of the New Fourth Army will increase the friction with the Kuomintang troops. Eastward development can directly threaten the focus of Japanese and puppet rule. After moving eastward and developing northward, our army gathered from northern Jiangsu, southern Jiangsu and eastern Anhui to strengthen the anti-Japanese forces in Central China. Xiang Ying was hesitant about this policy of the Central Committee. He was worried that Ye Ting would organize troops to advance to the east of Anhui. At the same time, the Kuomintang's policy of preventing * * *, dissolving * * *, restricting * * * and opposing * * * made Ye Ting's mediation role between the two parties in the country smaller and smaller, and he felt deeply guilty about his original intention and could do nothing.
