Xiao Ye Dan, the Yihai Alliance, a great event that occurred during the Red Army's Long March. The Red Army was regarded as a thorn in the enemy's side, surrounded and intercepted by heavy troops, the Red regime had just been established, the number of personnel was small, there was a lack of military training, the equipment was poor, and even some troops were broadswords and red tassel guns.
However, the Red Army carried forward the dauntless revolutionary spirit, overcame difficulties, adopted various tactics, made the enemy unable to understand the intentions of the Red Army, created fighter planes, and won several battles, including the Battle of the Four Crossings of Chishui, which was a classic battle, concentrating superior forces and inflicting heavy losses on the enemy.
After this battle, the situation gradually improved, and the Red Army could finally rest and prepare to cross the Dadu River and continue north.
Xiaoye Dan Dadu River, a tributary of the Min River, the water flow is turbulent, the rocks are piercing, the mountains on both sides are steep, and the terrain is dangerous. Not to mention swimming over, it is stepping into the water, and it disappears in a blink of an eye, only a dozen iron cables connect the two banks, and there is not even a board in the bare, and the defense ability is extremely strong.
Shi Dakai of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom failed here and the whole army was annihilated, but the Red Army had no other choice. The enemy laid out heavy troops, believing that it would be difficult for the Red Army to escape. However, it was not Shi Dakai, who knew that in order to cross the river safely, he must have the support of the Yi people.
* The military appointed an advance team to take the lead and be responsible for the preparation of the river crossing. ** Served as the commander-in-chief of the advance team and was responsible for this difficult task. **Special emphasis: "The key to a successful crossing of the Dadu River is to establish good relations with the Yi people. ”
** Bloody alliance with Xiao Ye Dan to solve the problem of hatred of the Yi people against the Han people. ** Knowing the crisis facing the Red Army, they sent an advance party to set off quickly, but they were soon attacked by the Yi.
The Yi people not only demolished the single-plank bridge erected by the Red Army between the mountain streams, but also fired cold guns at the Red Army, causing great damage to the work of crossing the river. The Yi people are an ethnic minority in southwestern Sichuan, living in a place of poor mountains and bad waters, with strong folk customs and relatively little interaction with the Han people.
Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty once brutally punished them, and many Yi people fled to Liangshan in order to take refuge. In addition, the malicious propaganda has caused the Yi area to spread the "proverb" that "stones cannot be pillows, and Han people cannot be friends", which further deepened the hatred of the Yi people against the Han people, and they would harass and destroy the Han people when they saw them.
Watching the destruction of the facilities that the Red Army had worked so hard to prepare, it felt like the problem was more serious than imagined. Therefore, he decided to find Xiao Yedan, the head of the local Yi nationality, to discuss a solution to the problem.
Xiaoye Dan, formerly known as Guoji Yoda, is a tribe of the Yi people called "Jiazhi". According to convention, the head of the "family branch" does not rely on hereditary inheritance like other ethnic groups, nor does it need to be appointed like the Han nationality, but elects openly, justly and fairly.
Despite the linguistic and cultural differences between *** and Xiao Ye Dan, they both want to resolve their conflicts with each other through peaceful means. They decided to sign an agreement as a way to stabilize the situation in the Yi region and ensure the smooth crossing of the Red Army.
Xiao Yedan, an excellent inheritor of the Yi nationality, was able to master the culture of the clan when he was a child, and was known as the best person. He adhered to justice, calmed and intelligent, and became a man who was based on benevolence, righteousness and justice, and was as evil as hatred and generous to others.
At the same time, he also realized that interaction with the Han people was inevitable, so he diligently studied Chinese and strengthened communication with the Han people. With his leadership skills that understand righteousness, he gradually emerged in the family branch, and finally became the head of the Guoji family branch without suspense in the way of fair election, which is the supreme power in the Yi nationality, he controls the political ideas and armed forces of the family branch, and is responsible for the rise and fall of the "big family" of nearly 10,000 people.
The conflict between Xiao Ye Dan and the Red Army was inevitable, and in order to solve this problem, ** successfully met with Xiao Ye Dan according to the customs of the Yi people. He explained the Communist Party to Xiao Yedan, emphasized the party's ethnic policy, and reiterated that the Red Army was for the people, all nationalities were equal, and there was no question of who bullied whom.
Through this exchange, Xiao Yedan gained a deeper understanding of the Communist Party and laid a solid foundation for the peaceful coexistence of the Yi and the Red Army.
** Firmly believed: "The Red Army is very different from the Kuomintang army, and our mission is to create a beautiful homeland for the oppressed people." The Communist Party practices the concept of equality between Yi and Han, regards the Yi people as a family, and calls on everyone to unite and establish a red regime and share a happy life. ”
Xiao Yedan has been exposed to some advanced ideas, and the election system of the Yi nationality is a symbol of democracy, which has many resonances with the Communist Party represented by ***. ** He is a theoretician in the Communist Party, knowledgeable and eloquent.
Xiao Ye Dan had never seen such a far-sighted soldier, and he was very knowledgeable and deeply admired. ** He also appreciates Xiao Yedan's profound righteousness and contribution to the Yi people, which he believes is also what the Communist Party has been doing.
The two are like-minded and appreciate each other. Xiao Yedan proposed to drink chicken blood wine with *** and become brothers. **Gladly accepted. As a result, a solemn bloody ceremony was held on the shore of the Yi Sea, which became the "Yihai Alliance".
This alliance had a profound impact on China's recent history, especially for many ethnic minorities who gained a new understanding of the Communist Red Army.
The forced crossing of the Dadu River and the subsequent escape from the encirclement saved the Red Army from annihilation.
Xiao Yedan's heroic sacrifice was for the smooth progress of the Red Army's crossing of the river, and it was also for the protection of the flag of the Guji detachment, which was as important to Xiao Yedan as his life.
Xiao Yedan's bravery and fearlessness reflected his loyalty to the party and his love for the nation. His dedication has not only been forever remembered by the whole party, the whole army and the people of the whole country, but has also become a part of history.
Although Xiao Ye Dan knew that his strength could not withstand the brutal suppression of the warlords, he still joined the Red Army without hesitation and defended the banner of the Guji detachment with his life.
The spirit of Xiao Yedan is always worthy of our admiration and learning.
After the Red Army crossed the Dadu River, the Communist Party always remembered Xiao Yedan's contributions. In 1950, ** and *** led the army to liberate the southwest, and they fulfilled their promise to Xiaoye Dan and returned to the Yi area.
However, ** still has a strong feeling of missing Xiao Ye Dan, and he mobilized the masses to find Xiao Ye Dan's descendants, but unfortunately, Xiao Ye Dan has been sacrificed.
Despite this, the spirit of Xiao Ye Dan is still praised by the world. In 1993, a ** reported on the situation of Xiao Yedan's descendants, which attracted Li Tieying's attention.
So, he took Xiao Yedan's descendants to Beijing, and under his arrangement, Liu Taixing, the second son, and Shen Jianguo, the grandson of Xiao Yedan, met in Beijing. At this moment, 51 years have passed since Xiao Yedan's sacrifice, but his heroic deeds are still remembered.
Liu Taihang personally arranged the banquet in the Great Hall of the People to welcome the arrival of Xiao Yedan's descendants with a warm welcome. Although they had never met, the friendship of their predecessors made them feel familiar at first sight.
Xiao Ye Dan's grandson Shen Jianguo told the flag of the "Chinese Yi (Yi) People's Red Army Guji (Guoji) Detachment", his grandfather Xiao Ye Dan stubbornly defended it, and the whole family kept his grandfather's words in mind: "The Red Army will definitely be able to develop and grow, this flag is a token, and it is also a token for our Yi people to join the Red Army and support the Communist Party."
The Xiaoye Dan family remembers: people are there, and the flag is there. ”
This flag not only bears a symbol of national unity, but also a witness to the history of the revolution. Today, the state lists it as a first-class protected cultural relic and treasures it in the Military Museum of the Chinese People's Revolution.
Xiao Yedan's grandson Shen Jianguo, under Li Tieying's arrangement, was escorted to the Law Department of ** Minzu University and successfully became a college student. After graduating, he returned to his hometown and now serves as the section chief of the Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture Safety Supervision Bureau.
At the same time, Xiao Yedan's grandson Wu Long was also guaranteed by the state to study at the Law Department of Chinese University. After graduation, he was arranged by the relevant departments to work in the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress to continue to inherit this precious history and spirit.
The inheritor of Xiao Ye Dan's family has always kept in mind Xiao Ye Dan's legacy - love learning, be loyal to the heirloom, and "don't discredit Xiao Ye Dan". They adhered to the fine family style of the family, and became the most solemn commitment of their descendants to the spirit of Xiao Yedan.
Goji Abimo and Goji Darmo are Xiao Yedan's two sons, one once served as the head of Yihai Township, and the other became a county magistrate at the age of 19.
Their children also inherited the family tradition, and although Goki Abimo's daughter Goki Qubiyan had average family conditions, she was strict with her children, and eventually all four children were admitted to the University of Nationalities, and the state also provided full financial support for the children's schooling.
Gokidalmo's daughter, a policewoman, and her husband set up "Pingping**" to donate to many college students from poor families. As the descendants of Xiao Yedan, they have not only been taken care of because of the merits of their ancestors, but also because of the family tradition.
They know very well that the spirit of Xiao Ye Dan is their most important wealth.
The legendary story of the alliance between the Yi and the Sea has been passed down to this day and has become a symbol of the unity of the Han and Yi ethnic groups. In Mianning County, the Yihai Alliance, the Red Army Long March Memorial Hall, the Red Mianning Memorial Hall and the Yihai Alliance Memorial Hall witnessed this history.
The locals deeply feel that the spirit of the Long March and the spirit of the Yi-Hai alliance not only unite the Han and Yi people, but also bring them a happy life. Even after the liberation, Marshal ** and his wife Wang Ronghua often visited Xiao Yedan's descendants, including their sons Liu Taixing and Liu Meng.
They stick to their father's legacy and always care about helping Xiao Yedan's descendants. The relationship between the two families is as close as that of a relative, even closer than some relatives.
Wang Ronghua and the Liu family are closely linked in life and career, jointly promoting the "Yihai Alliance Good Deeds Inheritance" project, cooperating with the ** Association, raising a large amount of money and funding many college students.
In addition, Nie Li, Song Kehuang, Luo Jian, Zhang Xiaoai and other ** and the descendants of the leaders of the People's Liberation Army also care about the Xiaoye Dan family, and the spirit of national unity of the Yi and Han nationalities represented by them has become an eternal model and has been passed down from generation to generation.
