In 1976, due to his physical discomfort, he briefly presided over the work of the Military Commission for a period of time. And *** is ready to go south to Guangdong, go to his old unit to see, and recuperate for a period of time by the way.
But just before *** left, **made a call**.
"Ye Shuai, can you stay in Beijing temporarily?I just took over the work of the ** Military Commission, and I am not familiar with many things, so I would like to ask you to help me for a while...”Said in a humble tone.
I'll be there later, so feel free to ask me any questions you have. You are the founding general, your ability is stronger than me, do it boldly, it won't be bad!*After listening to ***'s words, he replied with a smile.
"Ye Shuai, this is not what I mean alone, our comrades of the Military Commission all hope that you will stay. ”
"What do you mean?Afraid I'll go south to make trouble?If I'm a troublemaker, I'll have a problem in **!”Hearing this, he immediately became angry, and then hung up **.
So, what's the real reason for not wanting to go south?What happened next?
In fact, this time I went south not only to return to the old unit to have a look, but also to have an important reason, that is, the climate in Guangdong is more suitable for him to retire.
During the years he came to Beijing, he had not been Xi to the northern climate, but now he was finally at ease, so he immediately moved his mind to return to Guangdong. Because, **'s hometown is in Guangdong, he is a native of Guangdong, and now that he is old, there is nothing to worry about at work, and it is time to "return to his hometown", so these reasons add up, ** The desire to return to his hometown in the south is getting heavier and heavier, and finally the application was submitted to the **Military Commission.
In 1897, ** was born in a small village in Meixian County, Guangdong, his father had taken the martial arts examination and was a Wu Xiucai of the Qing Dynasty, but the times had changed at that time, and there was no use for Wu Xiucai after being admitted, so the family had to make a living by setting up a stall and doing a small business.
** Under the nurturing and teaching of his father, ** was strong in physique and martial arts since he was a child, and he worked very hard during his study in private school, and his articles were often used as model essays by teachers"Tietang".。Under such hard Xi, when he grew up, he became a person with both culture and martial arts, which also laid a deep foundation for his future success.
When he was 14 years old, the Xinhai Revolution broke out, and when he heard the news of the establishment of Sun Yat-sen's doctrine, he immediately participated in the local revolutionary activities of "fighting tide bravery" and took the lead in cutting off the braids on his head. The following year, ** was admitted to Meixian Wuben Middle School, and then left school because of his opposition to the provincial middle school and participation in ** activities. But after leaving school, *** did not drop out of school, but co-founded a new school with some teachers and students who also participated in **, so he was also elected as the president of the school's student self-government.
In 1916, 18-year-old *** went to the South Seas with his father to practice, and returned to China the following year. This year's trip to Nanyang made *** see the suffering of the ** family colonized by the great powers, and also more deeply realized the significance of the revolution, so after returning to China, ** resolutely put pen to paper and entered the Yunnan Army Martial Arts School to learn military Xi. Because he studied hard during Xi the Yunnan Army Martial Arts School, he studied hard, and he liked to talk about current affairs and express some opinions, so he was loved by the school instructors.
*Originated from the InternetBecause he had practiced martial arts with his father for several years, after entering the school, Instructor Lin Zhenxiong, the chief of the cavalry section, liked him very much and often asked him to practice stabbing techniques. However, after practicing martial arts for several years, he is naturally not as good as Instructor Lin, who has experienced the battlefield, so at the beginning, he always lost when he fought with Instructor Lin. But Instructor Lin has the heart to train him, and he is smart and clever, so in the back and forth, he gradually learned Instructor Lin's splitting technique, and slowly he can even fight with Instructor Lin.
After that, **'s splitting technique became stronger and stronger, and even Instructor Lin was sometimes no opponent, so he became famous in the school.
However, this can be intrigued"Trouble".。The military school is naturally a place of martial arts, there were several Japanese instructors in the school at that time, and they heard that there was a student named *** who was very powerful in stabbing skills, and even the instructor was not an opponent, so they immediately found *** and gave him a war letter, and asked for a real sword and gun competition, life and death.
*From the Internet This Japanese instructor is also a master of splitting stabs, and he was almost invincible in the school before, and even Instructor Lin is not an opponent, so the difficulty of this challenge can be imagined.
Unexpectedly, ** responded on the spot.
On the day of the competition, the two of them each held a saber and went straight to the point, no less than a real life-and-death struggle. At the beginning, the Japanese instructor wanted to fight quickly, and quickly suppressed and defeated *** with sharp knife skills, but the *** who had been in battle for a long time was not vegetarian, and after being suppressed by the Japanese instructor for a short time, he began to stab back and forth.
After a while, due to the excessive physical exertion in the early stage, the Japanese instructor quickly slowed down, and the flaws were gradually revealed. Then after the Japanese instructor finished a chopping knife, ** took a big step, and the saber in his hand stopped on the chest of the Japanese instructor. When the other party hurriedly put away the knife to block, ** had already put the knife close to his throat.
*Originated from the Internet"I beg for mercy!”The Japanese instructor immediately froze, and the knife in his hand fell:"You win!”
There was a burst of warm applause all around, and the teachers and students present stepped forward to hug *** and cheered"**Good job!It's really our sword elite!”
While still in school, ** followed Sun Yat-sen as a student army to participate in the battle to expel the Gui warlords, and because of his outstanding performance on the battlefield, in October 1921, ** also accompanied Sun Yat-sen to inspect Guangxi.
In December of the same year, ** graduated from the Yunnan Army Martial Arts School with excellent grades, and then continued to participate in revolutionary activities with Sun Yat-sen. Later, *** once said:"I followed the direction of Mr. Sun's guidance and embarked on the road of democratic revolution step by step!”
Sun Yat-sen It can be seen that Sun Yat-sen played an important role in his revolutionary career.
In 1922, ** was appointed as a battalion commander of the Marine Corps to protect Sun Yat-sen's safety. In June of the same year, the warlord Chen Jiongming betrayed the revolution and bombarded the Guangdong government. For this reason, ** also fought a fierce naval battle with Chen Jiongming's rebels at sea.
After the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party decided to jointly establish a military academy to train more military personnel for China. When the school was founded, ***, who graduated from the Yunnan Army Martial Arts School with excellent grades, was naturally invited, so after the establishment of the Huangpu Military Academy, ** was appointed as the deputy director of the professor department of the Huangpu Military Academy.
And he, the deputy director of the professor's department, can be said to be the most genuine in the Whampoa Military Academy at that time, because he studied hard since he was Xi a child, both military skills and cultural knowledge are extremely profound, and he can often explain various knowledge to students in simple terms during class, so during his tenure as an instructor at the Whampoa Military Academy, he was rated as the first"One of the most prestigious instructors of the military school".
However, the good times did not last long, in the campaign against Chen Jiongming, ** often had to go back and forth between the army and the school, and he was weak, so in desperation, ** had to temporarily give up the teaching work in the school and put all his thoughts on the army.
In 1925, after the Eastern Expeditionary Army captured his hometown of Mei County, he was appointed as the county magistrate of Mei County. During his tenure as county magistrate, he often went deep into the masses to understand the social situation, and also promulgated a series of reform measures, which made the government affairs of Meixian County look new, so in one year in Meixian County, he was given a title by the people"Revolutionary county magistrate".
However, in the year he served as the county magistrate, Sun Yat-sen died of illness in Beijing, and since then he has lost a mentor and friend.
On April 12, 1927, Chiang Kai-shek betrayed the revolution and launched"Four-one-two".The counter-revolutionary coup d'état, followed by the mass arrest of the ** Communists, and the first Kuomintang-Communist cooperation broke down. At the same time as Chiang Kai-shek betrayed the revolution, he immediately issued a telegram calling on the whole country"Anti-Chiang".At the same time, he did his best to protect the Communists and apply for membership in the Communist Party.
Chiang Kai-shek was at a time when the Chinese Communist Party was at stake, and he was a senior general in the National Revolutionary Army, so his application to join the party was not approved for the time being. In July of the same year, he applied for membership in the Communist Party of China again, and after careful consideration in the organization, his application was finally approved. Since then, ** has become a member of the Communist Party.
On December 11, 1927, ** and Ye Ting and others led the Guangzhou Uprising, responding to the Nanchang Uprising launched by ** and others in Nanchang and the Autumn Harvest Uprising launched in Hunan, which became the beginning of the revolutionary war independently led by the Communist Party of China. After the Guangzhou Uprising, the troops were reorganized into the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and were elected deputy commander-in-chief.
At this point, ** completed the most important turning point in his life. Since then, ** has always held important positions in the people's army under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and has saved the Red Army several times in a row.
During the Liberation War, he received an order to establish a military academy. Soon after, North China Military and Political University was established, ** as the first president and political commissar of the school, after a lapse of several decades, ** returned to the school again, became"Instructor".
Therefore, during his time at the school, he reformulated the teaching plan and determined a more advanced educational policy based on his previous teaching experience and the tactics summed up in decades of actual battles. It didn't take long for North China Military and Political University to become an important part of a large number of military and political talents in the People's Liberation Army, and made great contributions to enhancing China's national defense strength.
In December 1963, the then director of the Military Training and Military Academic Research Committee of the Military Commission came to Zhenjiang to attend a meeting of the Military Training Department of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army. December is the coldest time of winter, the field is frozen three feet, and the cold wind makes people so cold that they can't stretch out their hands, but in this case, the 66-year-old *** insisted on coming to the field training ground, ** Guo Xingfu's individual offensive tactics.
** During the training, a soldier named Ye Tiehu was very brave, even if his shoes were punctured by a tree branch when he attacked alone, and the blood on the soles of his feet did not slow down, and he did not care to check his injuries until the end of training. **After seeing Ye Tiehu, he praised it:"What a little tiger!”
After a detailed investigation, ** thought that the training method taught by Guo Xingfu was very scientific, so he immediately reported to *** and suggested that Guo Xingfu's teaching method be extended to the whole army"Train the soldiers to be like little tigers."。**Happily after seeing the report:"Ye Shuai has found a good way!”
Since then, the nationwide military training movement has been rapidly carried out in the promotion of Guo Xingfu's teaching method, and *** has naturally contributed to this process.
On January 8, 1976, he died of illness and the bad news came out, and the whole country was immersed in grief, and then people from all walks of life spontaneously gathered in Tiananmen Square to mourn on the Qingming Festival. **and*** have known each other since the Whampoa Military Academy, and have been comrades-in-arms and comrades for decades. Now that the old friend is parting, he can't help but feel sad that the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, and he has rarely returned to his hometown since he participated in the revolution, and now he is nearly eighty years old.
It happened that this year, *** instructed *** to take over ***'s work, and ** was able to free up his hands to deal with his own problems. Therefore, not long after his work was relieved, he submitted an application to the Central Military Commission to return to Guangdong, nominally saying that he would return to work in his old unit, but in fact he wanted to return to his roots and not die in a foreign country in the future.
However, not long after his application was submitted, ***, who had just presided over the work of the Military Commission, called.
"Ye Shuai, I still hope that you can stay and work, you are inseparable from you here for the time being!”The tone was sincere.
**Laughing:"Doesn't the Military Commission have you?You are the founding general, this work will definitely not be difficult for you!”
"Ye Shuai, I have just taken over for a few days, and I don't know how to deal with a lot of things, and I have to ask you often!Once you leave, it will be difficult for me to contact you again, or you can wait a while until I am familiar with the work before leaving. ”Pleading.
"Is this what the Military Commission means or do you mean?”frowned.
"That's what the Military Commission meant, and of course what I mean. Now the situation is unstable, you can stay in ** to control the situation, if you go to Guangdong, it will be far away. ”
"What do you mean?”Back to the wrong meaning:"Am I a troublemaker?If I'm a troublemaker, I'll have a problem in **!I obeyed the orders of the Military Commission, and I would not go if I did not go to Guangdong, but I could not bear this grievance!”
After that, ** didn't want to listen to ***'s explanation anymore, and hung **.
**Listening to ***'s tone that was already very angry at the end, he couldn't help but regret what he had just said, he understood that it must have been his words just now that Ye Shuai misunderstood. However, at this time, Ye Shuai was angry, and he must not be able to listen to his own persuasion, so he planned to contact him later.
Half a day later, **called again**, and sure enough, it was already deflated. This time, *** seriously explained the opinion of the Military Commission to ***, and apologized to him for his previous words, and after a phone call, the matter was revealed, and *** also stayed in ** and continued to work for a few years. Later, it was precisely because of the retention of *** that New China avoided a chaos.
**(Right) On May 14, 1980, the 83-year-old *** finally returned to his hometown as he wished. This day is the early summer, the sun is warm, the green leaves are flourishing, ** walking on the hometown road that has not returned for many years, my heart is full of emotion.
The last time I came back, the mountains of my hometown were bare, full of old houses and bumpy roads, but after all these years of construction, when I came back now, my hometown was already green and green. Seeing such a good change, ** heart is happy.
After having a home-cooked meal with relatives in my hometown, the news of **'s return has spread all over the country, and in just one or two hours, the road in front of the door, on the mountain, and on the edge of the field are full of people. Seeing the eager eyes of these villagers, ** took off his straw hat and waved to the villagers from afar:"Thank you!It's hot at noon, the sun is hot, let's go back!”
The villagers waved in response to his call, but no one was willing to leave, seeing this scene, ** had no choice but to end his trip to his hometown in advance, and this was also the last time he returned to his hometown before his death.
**(Right).Since then, as I get older and my health is getting worse and worse, the idea of retirement is getting stronger and stronger. In 1983, he wrote a letter to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, expressing his desire to retire and requesting that he not be nominated for another position.
In 1985, he sent a letter to the Fourth Plenary Session of the 12th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, expressing his hope that the younger generation of comrades would take over as a member of the committee, and he would no longer hold the position. At this point, ** finally relieved himself of all important positions and achieved retirement.
However, he did not enjoy his retirement for long, and on October 22, 1986, ** passed away in Beijing.
From taking the lead in cutting braids to participate in revolutionary activities when he was young, to throwing pen to paper in his youth, following Sun Yat-sen to join the army and serving the country, and then to accepting Marxism and becoming a staunch proletarian fighter, the life of the first is a life of revolution, a life of pursuing faith, and a life of serving the motherland and the people. The sacrifices and contributions he made to the people in the course of the revolution will always be remembered by the people.
Therefore, we must always remember the revolutionary deeds of Marshal ***, tell the story of the revolution to future generations, let the red flag of the revolution be passed on from generation to generation, and cultivate more Chinese with ideals and beliefs!
