In 1953, **asked*** what should I do after I retired from the second line?
** once said: "With Luo's eldest son by my side, even if the sky falls, I am not afraid, because with him on his back, I feel very relieved when he stands beside me."
"Eldest son Luo" is the nickname of *** to ***, he is tall, but everyone can also see from here ***'s trust and respect for ***. In 1953, ** had a conversation with ***, and during the conversation, ** suddenly asked: "What if I take a back seat?".
Although he was taken aback by ***'s question, he still answered calmly. So, why is this question asked?How did you respond?
What is the relationship between the two of them?
In 1929, under the arrangement of the Military Commission, he participated in the guerrilla warfare in western Fujian and played an important role in the battle to conquer Longyan. After that, his partisans were incorporated into the Red 59th Army, and he took the post of chief of staff and officially became a commander in our army.
Soon after, the Red 59th Army was merged into the Fourth Column of the Red Fourth Army, and he continued to hold the post of Chief of Staff and played an important role at the 7th Party Congress of the Red Fourth Army held in Longyan.
At this meeting, he met *** for the first time. Although *** is a southerner, he is very tall, which attracts the attention of ***. After the meeting, ** walked up to *** and asked if he was a northerner.
** replied that he was from Sichuan, which surprised ***. **said: "In my impression, most of the children of Sichuan Xiang are not tall, but you and I are very tall, but you look slightly taller than me, and you can also be called the 'eldest son'."
**First Sight*** Quite a good impression of it. Over the next month, the two had frequent contact and gradually became acquainted. At the end of the year, the Red Fourth Army held a Gutian Conference, and ** was appointed political commissar of the second column, and ** was appointed director of the political department.
In addition to serving as the director of the Political Department of the Second Column of the Red Fourth Army, ** also served as a political commissar and other positions. During his tenure as political commissar of the Red Fourth Army, he suffered an accidental head injury and was forced to be hospitalized.
After recovery, he served as the director of the Security Bureau of the Red First Army, and accumulated rich experience in security, which laid the groundwork for his later protection. After the Zunyi Conference in 1935, his position in the Red Army was gradually consolidated, and soon after, he and other leaders followed the Red First Army to act.
At this time, the Security Bureau should be responsible for their safety, but it is still their responsibility to protect their safety.
**With its strict requirements and conscientiousness, it ensured the safety of the leaders during the Long March. For his excellent performance in the defense work, he was awarded a Red Star Medal of the Second Class.
After the Xi'an Incident, ** and others advocated a peaceful settlement, and although ** had served as the director of the Education Bureau of the Red Army University, ** still assigned him to be responsible for the security of *** and others.
The law and order situation in Xi'an is not good, and it was decided to let *** be responsible for protecting ***'s safety. A new dentist's office has opened near his residence, which is concerned because the place is desolate, so why would he want to open a clinic here?
So he immediately sent someone to investigate, and the investigators reported: "The clinic was opened by an old dentist, and there were plans to open it for a long time, but due to the renovation of the store, it did not open until after the incident."
The people who come and go to the clinic are all patients, and there is nothing suspicious. Still, ** was skeptical, and he sent a man with a toothache to see a doctor, and his condition improved.
Despite this, ** was still not at ease and decided to go to the clinic to investigate in person.
**At the dentist's office, I met a Northeast dentist who looked to be about 50 years old. **Tell him about tooth pain, and the dentist expertly checks and administers the medicine accurately, looking like a veteran who has been practicing medicine for many years.
After the dentist finished speaking, the two chatted a few more words, and the dentist was very angry about the fall of his hometown in the northeast. Despite this, ** was still uneasy about this, and he provoked the topic from the calligraphy and paintings on the wall: "Old man, do you know which dynasty Sun Simiao is a famous doctor?"
This question made the old dentist hesitate a little, and he replied: "The great physician of the Qin Dynasty was very interested in Chinese herbal medicine. * He asked again: "It's from Zhejiang, right?""No, it's from Hancheng, Shaanxi Province, and Hancheng has his tomb.
This time the old dentist seemed very sure. That night, ** issued an arrest warrant and arrested the old dentist. Everyone should be able to guess the reason for ***'s arrest, right?
What are you afraid of when the sky falls?There is Luo's eldest son on top. ”
So, who said this when and where?At 12:30 p.m. on January 31, 1949, the Chinese People's Liberation Army officially entered Beiping City, and Beiping was declared peacefully liberated.
As we all know, Beiping was the northern command center of the Kuomintang regime before, and although it had been peacefully liberated, there were still some secret services lurking in various corners. These hidden spy leaders colluded with local landlords, bullies, and dark forces to assassinate cadres and the masses, and even create rumors and incitement, posing a threat to the safety of the CCP and the general public.
In order to ensure the stability of the regime, **found *** at this time *** was on the Taiyuan front and served as the political commissar of the 19th Corps of the North China Field Army. On May 14, 1949, ** received a telegram from ***: "When the army starts to act, you come to ** to reminisce about the past, and the work of the army is temporarily handed over to someone else."
Although he didn't know what he was looking for, he immediately handed over the work at hand to others after receiving the order, and then immediately went to Beiping.
When he first arrived in Beiping, he was directly informed that he would be appointed Minister of Public Security. In this regard, ** was surprised, and he said that he preferred to follow Siye south, believing that Li Kenong was more suitable to serve as the Minister of Public Security.
** politely declined this, arguing that everyone has their own responsibilities and advised him not to mention it in front of ***. That night, ** met *** at Shuangqing Villa and found that he had something on his mind, so he asked him if he didn't want to be the Minister of Public Security and wanted to go to war.
**Indicates that he has obeyed** the arrangement, and promises to be a good chief guard for the chairman and **the chief.
** once said: "You have a great responsibility, not only to protect me and other ** leaders, but also to serve as a good guard for New China." After taking office as minister of public security, he immediately put forward a plan for the establishment of the Chinese People's Public Security ** column, which was quickly approved by the ** Military Commission and formally established on September 2.
In the security work of the founding ceremony, ** checked every detail meticulously with a rigorous attitude to ensure the safety of the leaders. At 3 p.m. on October 1, 1949, the founding ceremony was successfully held in Tiananmen Square, ** as the first minister of the Ministry of Public Security, I knew that this was only the first step to complete the security work of the CPPCC meeting and the founding ceremony, and the future work would be full of challenges.
On October 15, according to the deployment of the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Public Security convened the first national public security conference to analyze and assess the hostile situation across the country and determine the work policy.
The meeting lasted for half a month, during which he met with the participants and gave important instructions.
1.* The Prime Minister's speech on October 30 is still the golden rule of public security: "The army and the security sector are the two pillars of state power, and you shoulder the heavy responsibility of safeguarding the security of the country, and bear half of the responsibility.
Although the army is prepared for war, you are working every day for the security of the country. ” 2.The premier's remarks fully reflect the heavy responsibility shouldered by all public security personnel, and also show that the prime minister attaches great importance to public security work.
On November 11, 1949, ** accepted a new mission, and in addition to serving as Minister of Public Security, he also served as Director of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau. **Asked*** how to carry out the public security work in the capital, ** replied without hesitation: "Stable, accurate, ruthless!."
He further explained: "Stability is to stabilize people's hearts, accurate strikes, and ruthlessness is to eliminate hostile forces." ” 3.*After listening to ***'s answer, he was very satisfied, and nodded his head in praise: "It seems that the sky can't fall, even if it falls, don't worry, there is your eldest son Luo on top!."
As long as you are here, the safety of ** is guaranteed, and I can eat and sleep with peace of mind!”
**is ***'s personal guard, he always protects ***'s safety wholeheartedly. Every time I go out, I will personally arrange the security work to ensure the safety of the guard.
The duty of ** is not only to protect***, but also to ensure that *** can easily reach the masses. It's a challenging task that can feel a bit overwhelming at times.
However, ** is always able to overcome difficulties and complete tasks.
On February 14, 1953, ** went to visit Zheng Weisan at the East Lake Sanatorium in Wuhan, and passed the Yellow Crane Tower on his way back to his residence. When he saw the Yellow Crane Tower, he immediately stopped the car and walked towards Snake Mountain.
Since there was no advance arrangement, ** could only temporarily arrange guards to protect *** and others up the mountain nearby. **Stayed on the Yellow Crane Tower for a long time before leaving, and when he walked to a fried tofu stall to inquire about ** and the business, the two little girls who bought tofu next to him recognized him and shouted: "*
It was the people around *** who heard the shouts and instantly gathered around ***, and the people who were close even stretched out their hands to shake hands with ***. Seeing this, he also stretched out his hand to interact with the masses, and more and more people gathered over and kept shouting "Long live".
**Seeing this scene, on the one hand, let the guards protect ***, on the other hand, it is recommended to retreat to the Yellow Crane Tower first, and then leave after the crowd disperses. However, ** rejected the suggestion, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, these people are just masses and won't hurt me."
**Worried, hurriedly greeted Wu Jingtian, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Railways, and the two stretched out their arms side by side, blocking the crowd surging from all directions, escorting *** away, and several leaders followed.
**He Wu Jingtian shouted while opening the way: "Please let go, let *** pass!."At this moment, *** was moved by the enthusiasm of the crowd, waving to the cheering crowd as he walked.
Since the road leading to the parking lot was already crowded and impassable, **decided to let the guards resist**, and he and Wu Jingtian escorted *** to board the ferry at the nearby ferry terminal.
It wasn't until *** boarded the ferry safely that ** breathed a sigh of relief, he said: "It's so dangerous, if something happens, how can I, the Minister of Public Security, explain it to the people!."
**Looking at ***'s nervous appearance, he jokingly said: "You have been bitten by a snake for ten years and are afraid of the well rope, but I said that these are enthusiastic people and will not pose a threat to me."
Mr. Chen on the side also quipped: "Oh my God, I almost can't stay on the Yellow Crane Tower today!."”
In this year, in order to meet the needs of the country's large-scale economic construction, the party and state leadership groups began to be considered, and it was planned to transfer the party and others to Beijing to arrange new work.
Soon after, ** called *** to Zhongnanhai, and the two had an in-depth conversation. In the middle of the conversation, **suddenly asked*** eldest son, what do you say if I take a back seat?
**Somewhat surprised to hear ***'s words, he didn't understand why *** would ask this question, but he replied firmly: "If the chairman takes a back seat, I will follow you by your side and keep you safe and ...... at all times."After hearing ***'s answer, a bright smile appeared on his face, from which it can be seen that he trusts ***.
When the news of ***'s death came, ** was overwhelmed with grief, and even suffered a coronary heart attack because of excessive sadness. It is known that ** is very fond of swimming.
When visiting Snake Mountain in 1953, he asked if the Yangtze River was suitable for swimming, but unfortunately the answer was no. Therefore, ** did not follow up any further.
In the summer of 1956, when he was in Guangzhou, he suddenly expressed his desire to swim in the Yangtze River to Li Yinqiao. Li Yinqiao knew that this matter was not trivial, and immediately reported it to ***.
Considering the physical condition of *** and the complexity of the flow of the Yangtze River, objections were expressed to this. He said worriedly: "Chairman, the Yangtze River is not suitable for swimming, and if something happens, I can't afford to take this responsibility!"
Despite the strong opposition, the determination of *** has been decided. So, ** flew from Guangzhou to Changsha on May 30, and the next afternoon he swam the Xiangjiang River accompanied by *** to prepare for swimming in the Yangtze River.
Soon after, ** and others arrived in Wuhan by plane, and according to the usual practice, ** carried out a detailed inspection of all links, and selected many good swimmers to swim with ***.
**As soon as I got on the boat, I jokingly asked *** how was it?Is it still dangerous to swim in the Yangtze River?* smiled and replied: "There is still danger, but you are not afraid, and neither are we, Chairman."
**Swam for more than 2 hours during this swim and did not get on the boat until approaching the Wuhan Bridge. After getting on the boat, ** smiled and said: "Who said that the Yangtze River can't swim?".
I'm traveling more than a dozen miles in one trip!Minister Luo didn't let me swim, not only did I swim, but I will come next year, and I will also pull him into the water!”
**Once made up his mind to learn to swim in order to better protect himself in the water***In 1959, he accompanied *** to swim in the Yangtze River, and later swam together in Shaoshan Reservoir, Ming Tombs Reservoir and other places.
***, who is over half a hundred years old, has spent a lot of energy and physical strength to learn to swim. One day in June, **accompanied *** back to his hometown after a long absence, and he felt that *** missed his hometown and relatives deeply.
However, what he didn't expect was that the next morning, the guard told him, "*Gone!."* calmly told Zhou Xiaozhou and the others to walk towards a hill, it turned out that *** was going to worship his parents.
He motioned for everyone to be quiet, don't disturb *** Because they didn't know in advance that the chairman was going to come to sweep the tomb, so they didn't even prepare a paper flower.
At that moment, ** handed the pine branch at hand to *** to take the pine branch and gently placed it in front of the tombstone of his parents. ** sighed: "The predecessors worked hard, and the descendants were happy."
Then he bowed respectfully, and ** and others also saluted. In September 1959, he served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission of the Communist Party of China and gradually left the public security front.
On September 9, 1976, ** passed away, ** rushed back to Beijing desperately. At the beginning of the memorial service, ***, who had limited mobility, stood up like everyone else, and he stood on one leg for more than an hour with crutches.
When saying goodbye to ***'s body, ** resolutely refused to let his son support him, he walked to *** with his legs that had just been able to stand, stared at ***'s face for a long time, and tears rained down in the next second.
He kept crying, crying like a child who had lost his parents, and eventually led to coronary heart disease** and was admitted to the PLA General Hospital.
On August 12, 1977, the 11th Party Congress was successfully held, and Comrade ** was honorably elected as a member. At a subsequent meeting, Comrade ** was entrusted with important responsibilities and held important positions such as the Standing Committee of the **Military Commission.
In 1978, under the kind care of Comrade ***, Comrade ** went to Germany for leg surgery, and the operation was a complete success. Unexpectedly, when he thought he could spend his life safely, he died on August 3 at the age of 72 due to a sudden myocardial infarction.
