The local government prepared a warm reception ceremony and specially arranged two peasant women to chase Mao Zedong. As soon as the three met, the two peasant women said with tears: "Madam President, we finally look forward to you! We have missed you for more than 30 years! "
Seeing this, Wang Dongxing was puzzled. What is the status of these two peasant women, and they even said such things to Chairman Mao?
Later, Chairman Mao took two peasant women and enthusiastically introduced to the staff: "They are all my sisters-in-law. Our previous friendship was very good! "
Wang Dongxing was taken aback. What are these two peasant women called "eldest sister-in-law" by Chairman Mao? What happened more than 30 years ago? ...
1927, after the failure of the Great Revolution, the China Revolution began to seek a new path of change. At the "August 7th Conference", Mao Zedong put forward for the first time that "political power comes out of the barrel of a gun", which started the armed revolution in China.
After the autumn harvest uprising failed, our army was frustrated in a series of attacks on central cities. Under the banner of sickle and axe, Mao Zedong waved his hand, resolutely changed his route, and put forward the revolutionary road of "encircling cities from rural areas and seizing political power by armed forces"!
But the urgent task now is to establish a solid rear. Mao Zedong thought twice and went to Jinggangshan with his team.
Jinggangshan has good geographical conditions, convenient transportation, easy to attack and difficult to retreat, and countless dense forests are the barriers of the revolutionary ranks of workers and peasants. It's just the right place at the right time!
However, not everyone wants to go to this Jinggangshan. There are two armies on the mountain: one is Yuan and the other is Yuan. The two armies occupied Mao Ping and Wujing in Jinggangshan, which were horns of each other and echoed from afar.
Speaking of Yuan and He, they are two poor farmers in Ninggang County and suichuan county near Jinggangshan. Yuan's family was very poor, and he dropped out of school and went home before he graduated from middle school.
Unwilling to accept the exploitation and oppression of local local tyrants and evil gentry, he organized a group of young people to fight against the local evil gentry, and was retaliated by the government.
Not only the granary at home was burned down, but also the mother was brutally killed, and even the newly married wife was occupied by the evil gentry. Angry Yuan resolutely joined the sabre team established by Hu Yachun, the local greenwood leader, and soon became the captain of the sabre team.
1924, Yuan led a sabre team to attack Ninggang County, and the county government was burned to ashes. The Jiangxi provincial government immediately sent officers and men to hunt down Yuan. With Yuan's understanding of the terrain of Jinggangshan and these officers and men beating around the bush on the mountain, the exhausted enemy quickly took the initiative to retreat. At that time, Yuan and the sabre team became famous in the Hunan-Jiangxi border!
Wang Zuo lost his father when he was young, and his orphans and widows lived alone. The only mountain in his family was also occupied by local tyrants and evil gentry. At that time, land was the life of farmers. Without land, Wang Zuo could only choose to work in the landlord's house to make a living.
/kloc-at the age of 0/5, Wang Zuo began to learn to make a living as a tailor, and spent all day with the silk thread of the loom. A seven-foot man wasted a whole day in this small world. Irritated, he took off his apron, took refuge in the famous local boxer Wang and began to learn martial arts.
1923, joined the team of Zhu deaf, the leader of Jinggangshan greenwood. He doesn't like to talk, but he has a vicious spirit and is very brave in the battle, which has won the appreciation of Zhu, a deaf-mute
Before long, Wang Zuo started his own business, set up his own team, and recruited people everywhere under the banner of "robbing the rich to help the poor and eliminating violence to help the people", which soon attracted a large number of enthusiastic young people. At that time, the mountain villages of Yongxin and Suichuan were under the control of Wang Zuo, and Wang Zuo became a veritable mountain king in Jinggangshan.
Wang Zuo's power was growing, and the local tyrants and evil gentry were anxious. They gathered a large number of officers and men into the mountains, but they found nothing. At this juncture, Wang Zuo's team fought among themselves.
Wang Zuo found Yuan without saying anything, and with the help of Yuan, he eradicated the dissidents. Because both of them were born in 1898, and they are both Hakkas, after this incident, they became sworn brothers and became famous local leaders on the Hunan-Jiangxi border.
If he wants to go to Jinggangshan, he must get the support of Yuan and Yuan.
In fact, I have long heard of the names of Yuan and Wang. He said at the front Committee meeting: "They are the heroes of the greenwood, and we are the kings of grass. We can be a family. I will go to worship the mountain when I have the opportunity! "
Unexpectedly, the opportunity to "worship the mountain" will come soon.
1September, 927, Mao Zedong led a team to Sanwan. After the adaptation of San Wan was completed, he immediately wrote a letter to Yuan, expressing his hope to reach a cooperative relationship with Yuan.
A few days later, Yuan sent a small note, which read: "My people are poor, but there is no room for giant whales, and there is no Dapeng habitat in the forest. Your army is galloping in the revolution, and you should choose another smooth road. "
After Yuan's rejection, the Front Committee immediately held an enlarged meeting in the ancient city to study how to deal with Yuan's local armed forces. At the meeting, many activists said they would destroy their armed forces.
Mao Zedong pushed his way through the crowd and said firmly, "You are too small-minded. There are still many friends in three mountains and five mountains. We should unite them, transform them and unite the three mountains and five mountains into a big team. The ruling class can't help us! "
Indeed, Yuan and He have been living in Jinggangshan for a long time, and they know the terrain here. If they can help them, they will surely become a very powerful revolutionary team in the middle of the Luo Xiao Mountains.
However, these two men who were born in the greenwood also kept the heavy habit of wandering around, which is both a disadvantage and an advantage. Decided to gain the trust of peace through this matter.
As we all know, greenwood people value friendship the most. When they met in Dacang Village, Ciping, Mao Zedong only took six or seven people, and he didn't have any weapons on him. Instead, he embarrassed the heavily guarded Yuan.
During the conversation, I sincerely said to Yuan, "Don't trust any land bodhisattva. This land was developed by farmers. Only by letting the people get the land will the people support us, otherwise we will be untenable here. "
Later, Xiang explained that he had more guns than people and promised to send him the guns and ammunition he needed. Seeing such sincerity, Yuan was finally moved, completely put down his guard, and warmly invited the revolutionary team of workers and peasants to Jinggangshan for development.
After the Revolutionary Army of Workers and Peasants settled in Mao Ping, Yuan sent 1000 ocean, which solved the funding problem, raised tens of thousands of kilograms of grain and a lot of cloth, and solved the problem of food and clothing for the army. Later, he used his own money to help Mao Zedong set up a hospital and a logistics office.
Wang Zuo also dropped his guard against Mao Zedong, killing pigs and sheep to welcome the arrival of the revolutionary army of workers and peasants. To show his gratitude, Mao Zedong presented Wang Zuo with more than 70 guns, saddles, holsters and other materials.
Without saying anything, Wang Zuo led a team to fight against local tyrants and evil gentry and raise funds and property for the revolutionary army of workers and peasants.
Three people of similar age soon became good friends who talked about everything. In order to develop better in the future, Chen Bojun, Youxuecheng and other cadres were sent to Yuan and Wang's troops for transformation.
In fact, for Yuan and Yuan, as long as you devote yourself to the working people and persist in being enemies of local tyrants and evil gentry, you can get their trust and help.
1one day in February, 928, on the broad lawn in front of Zhujiajian Island Temple in Ningkang, it was announced personally that Yuan He's troops were co-edited as the second regiment of the First Division of the Revolutionary Army of Workers and Peasants, with Yuan as the head and deputy head, and He Changgong as the party representative. Since then, this green forest armed force active in Jinggangshan has become a disciplined, task-oriented and disciplined revolutionary team of workers and peasants.
As soon as the troops were reorganized, Yuan, Yuan and Yuan took part in the battle to annihilate the Kuomintang regular army-the Battle of Xincheng, and won a great victory!
Mao Zedong was very happy to hear the good news. He came to Wang Zuogu for dinner to celebrate. Wang Zuo's wife Lan Xilian deliberately killed a chicken and gave Mao Zedong chicken soup. After the delicious chicken soup was served, Mao Zedong was reluctant to drink it, and all of it was given to the people.
From then on,, and became good friends who talked about everything. Not only do they have a tacit understanding at work, but the three families are also very close in life.
At that time, I went to Yuan and Wang Zuogu whenever I had time. Yuan's wife Xie is good at being a female worker and often sews clothes for her. Wang Zuo's wife Lan Xilian is good at cooking. Every time Mao Zedong comes home as a guest, she always arranges a big table to satisfy everyone's appetite.
Mao Zedong remembered the kindness of Xie Xiangmei and Lan Xilian for a lifetime. ...
"Mao is the most learned person. Talking to him for the last time is really better than studying for ten years! " At that time, Wang Zuo often issued such a sigh.
In Yuan He's heart, he is not only their eldest brother, but also their life mentor.
With the concerted efforts of Qi Xin, the Jinggangshan revolutionary base area quickly took root and sprouted, and all nearby counties established perfect party organizations and woven effective contact networks.
But this quiet life didn't last long. A decision made by the Sixth National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) completely changed the fate of Yuan and He.
The meeting pointed out that it is necessary to disarm bandits, treat bandit leaders as counter-revolutionary leaders, and resolutely expel these "dangerous elements" from the revolutionary ranks.
After receiving the document, Mao Zedong held a meeting to have a closer look. As a result, when he looked at it, he saw the six characters "disarming bandits" written on the document.
Mao Zedong nodded slightly and skipped this article directly to read the follow-up content.
After the meeting, Mao Zedong held a small emergency meeting on the topic of "armed bandits". Firmly said: "Yuan He was born in Communist party member, and they made great contributions to the revolutionary struggle!"
On the side, Chen Yi also said earnestly, "I just reported to the Central Committee that Wang Yuan's troops have made great contributions to the revolution. How did this happen? "
However, there are also many people in the party who are in favor of the provision of "surrendering guns", including Yuan and his "sworn enemy" Long Chaoqing. The contradiction between the indigenous people and the Hakkas has existed in Jinggangshan for hundreds of years, which cannot be solved in a year or two.
In the end, Long Chaoqing and others used this provision to persecute Yuan and others to death while leaving Jinggangshan.
His wife Xie was working in the old house at that time. She cried when she heard the news of Yuan's death. When she woke up, Xie shouted, "I'm going to find Commissioner Mao. Commissioner Mao has been to my house many times, and he knows best to choose three (Yuan pseudonym)! "
The comrades on the side said helplessly: "What dares to kill is that Commissioner Mao went down the mountain!"
Hearing this, Xie was silent. Later, the Kuomintang reactionaries came after Xie and others. This strong woman risked her life to save the leather leggings and photos of Yuan. She believes that the * * * production party will rehabilitate Yuan, and Commissioner Mao will uphold justice for her.
After Yuan's death, Xie gave her two daughters to others as child brides, and she took her young son anonymously, waiting day after day for the day when the Party organization became Yuan Zhengming.
After Wang Zuo's death, his second wife, Hsia-ying Lo, remarried quickly, and only his first wife, Lan Xilian, stayed in the Wangs for decades.
Wang Zuoben has five brothers, but none of the other brothers can help Lan Xilian. After Wang Zuo was killed, his brother Wang Yunlong took refuge in Xiao Yubi without authorization, not only taking away all the property of Wang Zuo, but also taking away Lan Xilian and Wang Zuo's children.
Wang Yunlong treated Lan Xilian badly. He was worried that Wang Zuo's son would compete with himself for property, and he was not allowed to study. He is allowed to herd cattle and horses at home every day. In such a living environment, it is difficult for Lan Xilian to raise her children.
Xie and Lan Xilian stayed until the founding of New China, and their lives gradually improved.
1965, Mao Zedong, who left Jinggangshan for 36 years, often dreamed of Jinggangshan in his dreams. He said with great emotion to Wang Dongxing, deputy director of the General Office of the Central Committee of the CPC: "I am old and often dream of Jinggangshan. I really want to go back and see it ..."
On May 2 1 this year, Wang Dongxing accompanied Mao Zedong to return to Jiangxi by train after his inspection in Changsha.
Soon, Mao Zedong and his party arrived in Liling. Under the protection of the guards, Mao Zedong strode off the train, stood on the platform, and looked at the mountains in the direction of Jinggangshan, lost in thought.
Soon, a silver-gray Jim car stopped in front of the chairman. After Chairman Mao got on the bus, the motorcade sped to Chaling County.
That night, a group of people stopped at Chaling County Guest House. After dinner, accompanied by Wang Dongxing, Mao Zedong walked on a path full of flowers, breathing the familiar air and watching the scenery after a long separation. Mao Zedong was in high spirits and said many things.
Early the next morning, Mao Zedong's motorcade left for Yongxin County, Jiangxi Province. A group of people had lunch in Yongxin. Mao Zedong, who had not eaten Jiangxi flavor for a long time, was deeply moved and praised: "This meal is delicious, more fragrant than the previous year, and very leisurely."
After lunch, the motorcade continued to move forward and finally stopped at Xie's temple in XiaMao Ping Village, Jinggangshan.
In the green hills, an adobe building comes into view. The local people affectionately call it "Bajiaolou", where Mao Zedong presided over the first congress of the Soviet Union on the Hunan-Jiangxi border.
The staff asked Mao Zedong to get off. Mao Zedong waved and said to the driver, "Chen, don't stop. You turn around slowly and we will go up the mountain! "
The driver nodded and drove slowly around the octagonal building. Mao Zedong opened the curtain and looked at the building in front of him affectionately. Countless memories flooded his mind, and his eyes were red.
At this time, the driver stepped on the accelerator and went straight on the Panshan Highway leading to Huang Yangjie.
72-year-old Mao Zedong stood on the towering Huang Yangjie and said excitedly to Wang Dongxing: "This is Huang Yangjie!"
"The first" Xijiang Mingyue Jinggangshan "was written here. At that time, I had just repelled the attack of Hunan and Jiangxi enemies in Huang Yangjie. I'm not on the mountain. Do you know this battle? "
Later, Mao Zedong lovingly watched a cannon erected on the sentry post, and took the initiative to introduce: "This cannon has made great contributions. A * * * fired three shells, only the third. In fact, I also want to thank the first two shells for heating the gun bore, which provided conditions for the start of the third shell. The contribution of the first two shells can't be erased! "
A group of people stayed on the Huang Yangjie for more than 40 minutes before coming down reluctantly. The sun has set, and the night has come quietly. Mao Zedong looked at nearby brightly lit Ciping and was deeply moved.
At that time, Ciping was surrounded by mountains and forests, and only a dozen families lived here. At night, it was dark, and occasionally the light of several kerosene lamps jumped in the night. After so many years, Ciping has prospered a lot.
After the motorcade arrived in Ciping, Mao Zedong looked out of the window excitedly, only to see brightly lit, and the folk song "Ten Send to the Red Army" of the Central Soviet Area was playing on the loudspeaker. Pedestrians come and go, talking and laughing. Mao Zedong said happily, "There are also lights on Jinggangshan!"
That night, Mao Zedong rested in room 1 15 on the first floor of Jinggangshan Hotel. The local staff specially made a hard bed, drew black curtains and prepared a sumptuous dinner.
Unexpectedly, when Mao Zedong saw the dazzling array of delicious food, he pulled down his face. Wang Dongxing immediately corrected: "Madam President, the food standard is two yuan and fifty cents a day for four dishes and one soup. Just do some home cooking. "
During those days in Jinggangshan, Mao Zedong was always in a good mood. He often talks to people about the hard struggle he experienced in Jinggangshan. Whenever he talks about this, he always thinks of two revolutionary martyrs, Yuan He.
Failure to protect Yuan and Wang became a lifelong pain.
On the afternoon of May 28th, 1965, Mao Zedong's trip to Jinggangshan gradually came to an end. He specially invited Wang Dongxing to Jinggangshan to meet the old Red Army, old party member and the people in the old liberated areas.
At the meeting, the comrades of Jinggangshan Administration specially arranged for two peasant women to meet with Mao Zedong. As soon as they met, the old woman said to Chairman Mao in tears, "Chairman, we are finally looking forward to you! We have missed you for more than 30 years! "
Another old woman echoed: "I didn't expect the chairman to remember us!" " "
Wang Dongxing don't understand. Who are these two peasant women, talking to Chairman Mao like this?
Later, Chairman Mao took two peasant women and offered to introduce them: "They are all my siblings. We used to have a good friendship."
At this moment, Wang Dongxing just know, these two peasant women are the widows of martyrs-Xie and Lan Xilian. One of the reasons why Chairman Mao went back to Jinggangshan this time was to meet two sisters-in-law.
Mao Zedong said to the two eldest sisters-in-law with great emotion: "Yuan He is two good comrades who have made great contributions to the revolution!"
Hearing this, Xie couldn't help crying for a while. Then, under the arrangement of the staff, Xie and Lan Xilian took a group photo with Chairman Mao in front of Jinggangshan Hotel. This photo has also become the most precious treasure of the two sisters-in-law.
In fact, he did not forget his hometown of Jinggangshan, nor did he forget Yuan and two martyrs.
After the founding of New China, Yuan Yaolie, the son of Yuan, and Wang Shousheng, the son of Yuan, were specially invited to attend founding ceremony on behalf of their father, witnessing the victory of the revolution!
After founding ceremony, Yuan Yaolie returned to his hometown in Jiangxi, and with the help of the local government, he joined the Ninggang Personnel Bureau, and Wang Shousheng became a ranger. Like their father, Yuan Yaolie and Wang Shousheng became good brothers who talked about everything.
From May 22nd to May 29th, Mao Zedong lived in Jinggangshan for seven days. When he left, the Chairman said to Wang Dongxing with great emotion, "Jinggangshan is a good place with good scenery and fresh air, which is very different from that of 36 years ago. I believe that Jinggangshan will become more beautiful and magnificent in the future by taking a bus, living in a building, eating four dishes and one soup, and wearing clean and tidy clothes! "
Later, the chairman turned to the crowd and said, "But I advise everyone to live a good life. Don't lose the spirit of hard struggle, let alone the revolutionary spirit of Jinggangshan! "
With these words, Mao Zedong walked into the crowd, shook hands with the old people and bid farewell to the old Red Army and veterans. In the warm farewell, Chairman Mao left Jinggangshan.
Sister-in-law Xie and Lan Xilian also stood in the crowd to bid farewell to Chairman Mao's departure. For them, Mao Zedong is not only a national leader, but also their relatives, their big brother and their unforgettable guide. ...
. End.
