In 1949, when New China had just been founded, a young man named Yang Rongzhu came to Zhongnanhai, Beijing, with a newspaper, and he had to find **.
The guard at the door immediately stopped Yang Rongzhu, so the young man pointed to the newspaper and said:"Look here, ** is my godfather!"
As for what happened, it was in the old society period, Yang Rongzhu's father, Yang Yudi, and ** were kowtow brothers who were friends of eight worships, which means that their fathers used to make revolutions together.
When Yang Rongzhu was three years old, his father died, and since then he has been in the newspaper, carefully collecting news about his godfather. This matter seems simple, it is the godson who came to find his godfather, but in fact, it involves the magnificent modern history, great turmoil, great war and great tragedy and ......
This matter is a long story, according to the official statement, ** was born poor, but in fact, the He family is a famous family, and it is a well-known strong party in Hunan.
The He family is a military family, which probably means that the general marches to war, is stationed in a certain place, or lives in seclusion in a certain place, which is the origin of the military family, which has been widely used in history.
The He family's centuries-old clan inheritance is comparable to contemporary militarized management, and the children of the clan must learn martial arts, study military law, and learn the way of using soldiers from an early age.
According to folk rumors, the great-ancestor He Tingbi generation of the He family was arrested by the children of the Eight Banners and taken to the execution ground to be beheaded for public display because he formed a peasant rebel army and actively participated in the movement to destroy the late Qing Dynasty.
It just so happens that the He family has a family rule, and the younger generations of men will never bow their heads, let alone let the hero's head fall to the ground;Now he encountered beheading, so in desperation, He Tingbi's wife Liu held her husband's head with her hand and brought it back to the ancestral tomb for burial.
Because the He family is famous, the Hunan region advocates heroes, and the people are good at martial arts, so after this incident, the He clan is even more famous.
There is an opera troupe that puts He Yanbi's deeds on the stage to perform, so there is"He Tingbi gathered a crowd to rebel, and Liu's women fought for righteousness"The story of these folds is widely sung in the local area.
Although there are hundreds of people in the He family, they are not separated from each other, and they eat in the same pot, and every day when they arrive at the meal, they will ring the bell to announce, so the big guys have gathered together to eat, which is a military tradition in China since ancient times.
To the grandfather and father's generation, in order to facilitate the masses to cross the river, so Wanguan family wealth was used to repair the bridge, but unfortunately the technology was not up to par at that time, in the face of the rapid river in Hunan, repair a collapse and repair a collapse.
When I was a child, the bridge was completely completed and named the Wind and Rain Bridge. Although the bridge was built, the family's possessions were also depleted with the construction of the bridge, so they became destitute.
Although ** has lived a hard life, the tradition of the military family has not been lost, practicing martial arts, military books, heroism, and righteousness!
* When I was a child, I often went to the ancestral hall, where there was a big knife and sword, which was left by my great-grandfather He Tingbi, so he often said that my great-grandfather had a great influence on me.
* I often talk about the deeds of my great-grandfather He Tingbi, saying:"The story of my great-grandfather always shocked my soul, and my great-grandfather led people to invade the county and open a warehouse to release grain to help the victims;As the poem says, why don't men take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures. "
Before the Chinese revolution began, the He family began to confront the local tyrants and gentry to save the poor nearby, and his father always warned ** that he must help the poor and punish the ...... filthy officials
Since then, ** has hated the old society, determined to break out of the world, and people must stand up to the sky and the earth in the rivers and lakes.
In 1914, at the age of more than 20 years old, he responded to the call of the revolution and joined the Chinese Revolutionary Party of Mr. Sun Yat-sen.
* The knife slashed the salt bureau of the reactionary forces, which also had the beautiful legend of two kitchen knives making a revolution, relying on the fame accumulated by his father, he soon pulled up a team that could fight, and the local young and middle-aged people responded one after another.
The reason why he said that he was full of heroes and martyrs was because after he made a revolution, most of the hundreds of people in the clan were killed by the reactionary forces of the old society.
Later, during the period of the Red Army, there was a ballad that sang **:"Expand the red by a hundred, as long as you take a break;Expand the red by 1,000, as long as one day;Expand the red by 10,000, as long as you turn ......If you want to eat spicy food, you are not afraid of spicy, if you want to do revolution, you are not afraid of killing, make a revolution with Mr. He, and cut off the big scar of the bowl with your brain!"
Without Hunan and no army, ** soon gathered 3,000 men and horses, and declared an uprising at the stormy bridgehead built by the ancestors!Next, more Sanxiang children joined the team.
Everyone knows that ** has a strong appeal, and there are tens of thousands of Hunan troops when they raise their arms, but everyone doesn't know, why can ** have such a great appeal?
The above is the origin of **, from the revolution to joining the Red Army, the population of Sangzhi County is less than 100,000, but there are 10,000 people who joined the Red Army under the call of **, and there are actually 10,000 !!
Maybe you will ask, what about my godson Yang Xiuzhu?Don't worry, tell me ......
As mentioned above, China has experienced several major military events in modern times, namely: small station training, iron-blooded husband regiment, Northern Expedition, War of Resistance against Japan, and War of Liberation. In particular, the first three have had a far-reaching impact on China's military development in modern times.
At first, it was Yuan Shikai, an important minister in the late Qing Dynasty, who imitated the German ** team and trained troops at a small station in Tianjin.
Yuan Shikai's small station training was a great success, and then after the death of Cixi, Yuan Shikai also held the military power, with Duan Qirui, Cao Kun, Wu Peifu, Zhang Zongchang, etc., in short, the strong are like clouds, can fight and fight, look at the whole country, absolutely invincible.
Then there was Mr. Sun Yat-sen, who took Wang Jingwei and other young people to blow the clarion call of revolution to overthrow the decadent Qing **.
In order to save the country, the late Qing Dynasty ** trained international students at public expense and sent them to Japanese military academies to study.
However, many of these international students chose to join Mr. Sun Yat-sen's team, and began to secretly carry out activities to destroy the Qing Dynasty.
These military academy students secretly formed an iron-blooded husband group, as for who its members are, they have not disclosed too much so far, according to the latest declassified information, including Jiang Zhongzheng, Yan Xishan, Tang Jiyao, Xiong Kewu ......And so on and so forth.
There were 28 members of the husband's group who returned to China at the earliest, taking Yan Xishan as an example, at least at that time, Yan Daring was famous, hiding explosives to pass through the customs, wanting to secretly approach the late Qing Dynasty**, and die with the other party, everyone made a revolution with the determination to die.
Later, Mr. Sun Yat-sen chose to cooperate with Yuan Shikai to destroy the Qing Dynasty and announce the complete end of the imperial era.
It is equivalent to Sun Yat-sen opening a company, but Yuan Shikai occupies more than 90% of the shares, and Yuan Shikai represents the Beiyang warlords, that is, the first generation of warlords in China.
The generals who came out of the Iron Husband Regiment belonged to the second generation of warlords, and later supplemented some generals from Cai Yi's Army Academy.
Sun Yat-sen led the second generation of warlords to fight the first generation of warlords, which was called the Northern Expedition, which was tantamount to a real revolutionary party and a fake revolutionary party. As a result, the land of China has completely fallen into the era of warlord warfare.
Taking Sichuan Province as an example, in just 20 years, more than 400 wars have been fought, and various large, medium, and small warlords claim to be the 18th Regiment of the Ninth Brigade of the Three Mountains, and the company commanders and battalion commanders are innumerable......And that's not counting the bandits everywhere.
* In response to Mr. Sun Yat-sen's three major policies, after slashing the salt bureau, he blocked the road of the county magistrate, and a total of four guns were seized.
In short, from two kitchen knives and a team of 18 people, they gradually grew and began to rob the rich and help the poor near their hometowns, open warehouses to release grain, and provide relief to the victims.
In the old society, there was oppression, there was resistance, and everywhere they went, they punished the landlords and gentry and cracked down on bandits and bullies.
As the fame of ** grew, he joined Yuan Hu ** and became a battalion commander in Xiangxi.
At the same time, there is also a battalion commander named Yang Yudi, who is also well-known in the courting of Yuan Hu**, he is Yang Rongzhu's father.
Therefore, it was at this time that I met the first partner on the revolutionary road, and the two talked about revolutionary ideals.
* and Yang Yudi, both hate the old society and hate this era of warlord melee;If the whole country heeds the call of Dr. Sun Yat-sen and vigorously implements the Three People's Principles, why worry that the country will not be strong?Why worry about the nation not prospering?And Yang Yudi is still a filial son, because he was born in a feudal family, he was dissatisfied with his father's various evil deeds to his mother, and often contradicted the clan.
When Yang Yudi was 12 years old, he inadvertently broke the bad things between his father and the widow at night, and as a result, at the age of 12, he felt worthless for his mother at home, so he mustered up the courage to scold his biological father.
Yang Yudi's righteous insistence, but in exchange for his life, the clan members of the family took him out of Shentang.
The so-called sinking pond is a kind of punishment in the old society of Xiangxi, tying four hands and feet, tying stones, and sinking into the water to drown alive.
Halfway through, Yang Yudi escaped, and after receiving the education of revolutionary ideology, he took the initiative to join the revolutionary team, because he fought bravely on the battlefield and dared to charge at the risk of bullets, so his position was promoted quickly.
In addition, he is a good hand at fighting, although he is a peasant, he has a very high talent in military affairs, and he is promoted to battalion commander by winning battles one after another.
* and Yang Yudi, their two battalions became the main battalion of the local protector, so they formed a strong revolutionary friendship.
* Good at charging and attacking, Yang Yudi is good at strategy and strategy, the two complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, and the offense is like a hot knife through lard;The defense is like an impregnable wall, and it does not leak.
Two people with common ideals worshiped the handle in October 1918, kowtowed to incense and became brothers, and Yang Yudi was one year older so he became the eldest brother.
In those days, it was common in the ranks of the Kuomintang to worship the handle, which, according to the locals, was called"Lao Geng wine"。
The two of them fought in all directions, relying on their outstanding military exploits, and five years later, they were promoted to brigade commander, and Yang Yudi also became the commander of the regiment and became the pillar of the guard.
In the winter of 1923, Yang Yudi received a combat mission and fought fiercely with more than 10,000 Sichuan warlordsbecame a general of the **.
The Sichuan warlord surnamed Cai, named Cai Juyou, was repeatedly defeated by Yang Yudi, so he laughed at himself and said:"Yang Yudi's surname is Yang, and my surname is Cai ......This is a predestined thing, and sheep are born to eat my bundle of vegetables ......I really can't beat him......"
When Yang Yuqi was stationed in Zhijiang, he was busy improving people's livelihood while training for war preparednessDuring this period, I took a gap and went back to my hometown to celebrate my mother's birthday.
Yang Yudi is a dutiful son, after the Shentang incident, his mother also escaped, and the mother and son depended on each other.
Yang Yudi made a living by herding horses, and her mother made a longbow in the landlord's house, but fortunately, Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary ideology bloomed everywhere like a spring breeze and spring rain, so Yang Yudi had the opportunity to change his fate.
At this time, Yang Yudi was already the brigade commander of Xiangxi Protector, and he was a major general brigade commander who had won many battles and was promoted by his personal ability, and he had already become famous.
Yang Yuqi returned to his hometown to celebrate his mother's 50th birthday, so he set up a banquet of 45 tables and invited friends from all walks of life to participate.
* With gifts, I went to Zhijiang for a banquet from Fuling, Sichuan, 300 miles away. After saying goodbye to his good brother Yang Yudi for half a year, he remembered the last time they met, they attacked the Sichuan warlords from the east and west on the battlefield.
* According to the etiquette at the time, he knelt in front of Yang's mother, held the wine glass in both hands, and said:"Mother!I**, and Yang Yudi are brothers, so'Lao Geng'The mother is my ** mother, Geng son first please Geng Niang to atone for his sins, Geng son often in the outside march can not often be around Geng Niang filial piety, today Geng Niang has a fifty birthday, Geng son wishes you a long life than Nanshan, such as the East China Sea!"
As a result, at the birthday banquet, ** and Yang Yudi were one mother, and Yang's mother was moved by the shouting, and tears dripped out. It was not easy to raise a child at the beginning, but now there are two brigade commanders sitting in front of him, and the old man can be regarded as having come to a hard time.
That night, ** and Yang Yudi, the two brothers, after sending off the guests, had a long talk late at night again.
The current revolutionary situation is not optimistic, since the death of Yuan Shikai, it is like there is no tiger in the mountains, the monkey is the hegemon, and the big warlords and small warlords are intertwined.
When talking about saving the country, the only way to do this is to first reunify itWhen we talk about rejuvenation, we can only make a revolution first.
Reunification is the defeat of the warlords of the whole country, and revolution is the fate of getting rid of the old society and old ideas.
But how difficult was reunification and revolution?The Beiyang warlords have their own troops, not to mention the big warlords such as Feng Yuxiang, Zhang Zuolin, and Wu Peifu, just the small warlords in the provinces and counties, who dare to be independent with a few guns.
Even in the second generation of warlords, there are constant internal strife. To sum up, the Beiyang warlords are fighting the Beiyang warlords and fighting each other for turfThe guards in various places are also at odds with each other, and there have been many infighting. The Beiyang warlords and the protectors fought even more, and tens of millions of square kilometers became a pot of porridge.
The future of the country is in the **??The hope of the nation is in the **?The two righteous brothers, ** and Yang Yudi, are worried in their hearts, full of ambition to serve the country, and ask today's China, how to spend this darkest moment?
Yuan Shikai is the lowest, but he can shock Beiyang;As soon as Yuan Shikai died, all the warlords were out of control).
At present, the only thing that can make people see hope is Mr. Sun Yat-sen's Three People's Doctrine, that is, nationalism, civil rights, and people's livelihood.
And these two"Lao Geng"After Yang Yudi's youngest son was born, he was named Yang Rongzhu and defeated ** as a godfather.
When the time came to July 1924, the country and the nation were employing people, and a famous general like Yang Yudi could have made great achievements, but because of the battle in all directions and the many injuries, his health deteriorated.
When Yang Yudi was lying on the hospital bed, he had a high fever that did not go away, and he had suffered ...... gunshot wounds, blast wounds, burns, and fall injuries beforeAfter fighting again and again, he failed to realize the dream of the Three People's Principles, but died young at the age of 29.
Yang Yudi's son, who was just three years old, lost his father and became a single-parent family.
Looking at the big warlord Cai Juyou in Sichuan, after learning the news of Yang Yudi's death, he immediately declared to the outside world that he wanted to be ashamed and avenge the dead brothers. He was going to take Yang Yudi's body and throw it into the river to feed the fish.
The Sichuan warlords have made it clear that they can't beat you alive, can't they fight you dead?We have a bitter hatred, Yang Yudi, Yang Yudi, you don't want to go into the ground!
Because the Yang family was threatened by the enemy, Yang Yudi's wife was worried, and immediately sent someone to send a letter to find ** for help.
* After receiving the letter, I learned that my sworn brother died, and the bad news came and I was saddened, in order to realize the unification of the country, there are countless heroes who died in this land, and the name in the history book is to add a Yang Yudi.
At the same time, Yang Yudi's former military friends all came from all over the country with troops to protect Yang Yudi's body.
Especially after ** dared to come with the troops, he immediately shocked Yang Yudi's enemies, and those Sichuan warlords with bad intentions were immediately frightened and did not dare to make a mistake.
A division commander of the Hunan Army came to preside over the funeral of his subordinate Yang Yudi, and bid farewell to the national hero General Yang Yudi in a mournful atmosphere.
The governor of Hunan Province sent a telegram saying:"Brigade Commander Yang Yu died of illness on the job, and he was saddened to hear it. Since taking office, he has been outstanding and industrious, and has been posthumously awarded the rank of lieutenant general of the army, and handed over to the Department of Military Affairs for preferential treatment. "
When Yang Yudi's coffin was loaded into a hearse and transported to the ancestral grave, ** personally took the officers and soldiers to escort the good brothers on the road, this farewell is the separation of yin and yang, and there will be no chance to see each other again.
In fact, Yang Yudi left a large number of arms, and according to the content of his will, all the arms were handed over to ** to arm the revolutionary team.
But Yang Yudi has a nephew named Yang Yongqing, who is responsible for keeping the arms, but as a result, he stole from the prison guard, led a battalion of troops into the mountains to become a bandit, and gradually grew into a generation of bandit kings with the *** left by General Yang.
Bandit leader, **choose film and television works)
After the funeral, **, the righteous general, took out the money on his body, and let his subordinates take out the money, and gave it to the wife and children of his good brother Yang Yudi, which was really a tragedy among orphans and widows.
In addition, Yang Yudi, as a pure revolutionary party, has never **, so that the property left to future generations is very little.
* Not only left money, but also left a sentence, whoever dares to touch Yang Yudi's wife and children, I will be inseparable from whom!
Time came to 1926, the Northern Expedition officially kicked off, throughout the history of the Chinese nation countless Northern Expeditions, except for the Qin and Han dynasties, but in exchange for countless failures.
Although the future is uncertain, the revolutionary party has gone forward one after another, becoming the commander of the 1st Division of the 9th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and has made countless military achievements on the battlefield of the tragic Northern Expedition.
And Yang Rongzhu, who is still young, after learning to read and read, his favorite thing is to collect newspapers, and whenever he sees the name of ** on the newspaper, he shouts happily:"My godfather, my godfather!"
In 1927, Yang Rongzhu saw in the newspaper that Chiang Kai-shek launched the bloody April 12 Incident, and saw the Communist Nanchang Uprising, saw his godfather, and became the commander-in-chief of the Communist Party's Nanchang Uprising.
In 1928, Yang Rongzhu saw his godfather ** in the newspaper and launched the Xiangxi Uprising. After he saw the newspaper, he also sang the ballad of Xiangxi: expand the red hundred, as long as you take a break;Expand the red by 1,000, as long as one day;Expand the red by 10,000, as long as you turn ......If you want to eat spicy food, you are not afraid of spicy, if you want to do revolution, you are not afraid of killing, make a revolution with Mr. He, and cut off the big scar of the bowl with your brain!
In 1928, Yang Rongzhu was in the Guotong area and saw his godfather, who was called by the newspaper"**"Pursued all the way by Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei and others.
In the following seven years, Yang Rongzhu collected newspapers one by one, and his godfather ** was called every time he appeared"**"
Yang Rongzhu couldn't understand why the Kuomintang wanted to fight the Communist Party at a young ageDidn't they fight warlords together before?Why should you be good at it?It was also many years later that I learned that it was Chiang Kai-shek who violated Sun Yat-sen's three major policies and embarked on the road of counter-revolution.
It wasn't until after 1937 that Yang Rongzhu looked at the godfather in the newspaper again, and it was finally no longer so-called"**"He saw in the newspaper that his godfather had won battles in the Yellow River area and opened up a base for the Communist Party.
In 1938, Yang Rongzhu saw the news of his godfather countless times, and he really never got tired of seeing it, in his family that lacked father's love, he saw his godfather fighting devils in four battles and four victories!
After the fall of Yang Rongzhu's nationalized area, there were Japanese invaders everywhere, and the Japanese invaders burned down their orphans and widows' houses three times, wounded their neighbors, and robbed the village of cattle and sheep.
Yang Rongzhu read the news of his godfather's murder from a newspaper issued by the Japanese three times twice, so that tears flowed out of his eyes.
Because I have seen too much similar news, Yang Rongzhu thought to himselfWhy did the godfather sacrifice again and again?Sometimes they died last month, only to sacrifice ...... next monthLater, I realized that it was just false propaganda by the Japanese.
made Yang Rongzhu cry many times, before the Japanese were beaten away, Yang Rongzhu could no longer see the good news related to his godfather, and he carefully collected newspapers one by one. Although the godfather has never seen him, he has always been thinking about the majestic hero on the battlefield.
In the old society, communication was not developed, newspapers were the only medium through which Yang Rongzhu could feel his father's love, and his godfather was the big hero in his heart, and he was the kind that stood up to the sky.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yang Rongzhu couldn't wait to go to Zhongnanhai in Beijing, and it was October 1949 when he came to the ...... of the People's Liberation Army, the Northwest Military Region, and the Beijing Office on Chang'an Avenue
Stop!"The guard immediately stopped and asked"Little comrade, this is the office of the military region, you can't break in. "
Yang Rongzhu said"I'm looking for my godfather, and my godfather is **!"
Huh?"The guard looked confused, he knew that his head was strict with himself, and there was only one son in the family, named He Pengfei.
Really, I'm looking for my godfather, the one in the newspaper. "Yang Rongzhu took out the neatly folded newspaper from the baggage, a thick stack from top to bottom, the bottom one was quite white, and the top one had lost color because he had looked through it too much.
It's difficult for the guards to deal with, and it's the first time I've encountered this kind of thing, and there have been people who have come to recognize relatives, some to greet them, some fellow villagers, comrades-in-arms, and democrats, but why did a chief's godson suddenly come?
The point is, the guards have been with the chief for seven or eight years, and they have never heard of this kind of thing. In the end, it could only be reported, so it was passed on to the chief's secretary.
As a result, the secretary hurriedly came to the door, and after seeing Yang Rongzhu, the young man was dressed quite cleanly, the key is that he has been with the chief for so many years, and he has never heard of his godson.
Yes, continue to report.
The secretary smiled wryly, came to **'s office, and after explaining the situation, ** stood up suddenly.
Quick, quick, let my son in!"** had a smile on his face, he knew that the name Yang Rongzhu must be the flesh and blood of his good brother Yang Yudi.
When Yang Rongzhu came to the chief's office, he saw his godfather in reality, which was much more powerful than in the newspaper, with tears flickering like a dream.
Hahaha, little guy, the last time I saw you, you kid was still a**!"** smiled happily and patted Yang Rongzhu on the shoulder, he has become a strong guy and can take charge of himself.
Godfather ......"Yang Rongzhu threw himself into the broad arms of ** and came to reality from the newspaper.
As we all know, ** is extremely strict with his children, but he loves Yang Rongzhu very much, he knows that this is a poor child, who has no father at a very young age.
If father's love is like a mountain, if there is no father's love, life will only be left with wind and rain.
