In 1975, the 82-year-old *** often missed his relatives, especially his wife Yang Kaihui and younger brothers Mao **, Mao Zetan, and his beloved Mao Anying.
He knew that without their heroic struggle and selfless dedication, China's prosperity and stability today might not exist. In that year, it was the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and a grand celebration would be held in Xinjiang.
* It was decided to send a delegation to Xinjiang to celebrate this important moment with the local people.
A ** delegation, headed by *** vice premier *** deputy head of the delegation is Mao Yuanxin. ** is a famous general, who was awarded the rank of general in 1955.
Mao Yuanxin is ***'s nephew and Mao's son. Before leaving, ** instructed the delegation to Xinjiang to let them go to the grave to lay flowers for themselves. **And Mao Yuanxin heard *** say this, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
Especially Mao Yuanxin, his father died shortly after he was born, and he only has ** memories of his father. So, how did Mao ** sacrifice? **Who is it? Why is his tomb in Xinjiang?
Next, let's solve these mysteries together. (1) The housekeeper Mao ** is the second child in the family, and the eldest brother is *** When he was a child, the family relied on him to take care of the housework and bear the tuition fees of the eldest brother and younger brother.
Mao ** learned the skills of business from his father and was comfortable with handling family affairs. In 1921, ** returned to Shaoshan, he invited Mao ** to participate in the revolution together, and under the guidance of ***, Mao ** left his hometown and went to the road of revolution.
If we have our own people's power, we should have our own currency. "In 1934, the Red Army began its Long March, serving as the captain of the 15th Brigade of the Soviet Ministry of Finance and the State Bank.
During the Long March, he led the team to carry a large number of supplies, including **, and money printing machines. They used the skulls to pick up these Soviet properties, also known as the "sandan banks".
Although the road is long and the materials are heavy, he has always led the team and successfully completed the tasks of transportation, fundraising and food.
Mao ** is still in charge of economic work in northern Shaanxi, upholding"Be thrifty and thrifty"ideas. He was sent to the Soviet Union for treatment, but was stranded in Xinjiang due to the plague. Sheng Shicai asked our party to send cadres to assist in the work, and decided to send him and Chen Tanqiu to stay in Xinjiang.
During his tenure in Xinjiang, he actively managed the economy, stabilized prices, and developed industry, agriculture, culture, and education. However, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the situation was turbulent, and in 1941, the Kuomintang launched the Southern Anhui Incident, which led to the breakdown of the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and Mao ** was unfortunately killed ......
In 1942, Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union and began the siege of Stalingrad. At this time, Sheng Shicai, the Xinjiang overseer, was originally full of suspicions, and when he saw that our party and the Soviet Union had been attacked, he thought that socialism would be suppressed, so he started the idea of breaking with our party.
However, at this moment, Chiang Kai-shek threw out the bait. In August 1942, Chiang Kai-shek came to Jiayuguan in order to buy Sheng Shicai. Song Meiling also deliberately flew to Dihua and negotiated with Sheng Shicai.
Soong Meiling revealed that Chiang Kai-shek wanted to purge our party's members in Xinjiang. After leaving, Sheng Shicai gathered the middle ** members and their families in Xinjiang and threw them into prison. For senior CCP cadres such as Mao ** and Chen Tanqiu, Sheng Shicai used various means to coerce and lure them to try to get them to leave the Communist Party.
However, Mao **, Chen Tanqiu, and Lin Jilu always adhered to their beliefs and remained unmoved. In September 1943, Chiang Kai-shek notified Sheng Shicai to go to Chongqing for a meeting, and in order to show loyalty to Chiang Kai-shek, on September 27, Sheng Shicai ordered the killing of Mao **, Chen Tanqiu and others.
Figure |On the day of Chiang Kai-shek, Li Yingqi, director of the Public Security Management Department, and Fu Baolian, director of the adjudication committee, came to Sheng Shicai's office and obtained warrants for the execution of Mao ** and others.
They immediately came to the prison outside the south gate and found Zhang Sixin, the person in charge of the killing. Zhang Sixin was not surprised by the execution of Mao ** and others, but only asked them if they still used the "silent killing method".
After receiving the confirmation, Zhang Sixin led them to an office, and it didn't take long for several jailers to bring out several people from the cell, each wearing a black cloth hood on his head.
Li Yingqi stood up, picked up the hood and looked at them one by one, and then said that Sheng Shicai was going to ask questions and brought them into the office. As soon as they entered the office, Chen Tanqiu and Mao ** were beaten with sticks on their heads, and then they were strangled by ropes, and several of them were killed in this way.
This is the brutal "silent killing law"! With regard to Chen Tanqiu, Mao ** and others, our party has repeatedly proposed to the Kuomintang and asked them to release them immediately. During the Chongqing negotiations in 1945, ** directly proposed that the Kuomintang release all patriotic "political prisoners".
In 1946, the Kuomintang appointed Zhang Zhizhong as chairman of Xinjiang Province. After learning the news, ** immediately found Zhang Zhizhong, not only to see him off, but also to ask him to help release our party personnel detained in Xinjiang.
Zhang Zhizhong agreed to this matter, and after arriving in Xinjiang, he began to work on this matter. Thanks to Zhang Zhizhong's efforts, the Kuomintang finally released our party personnel who were imprisoned in Xinjiang.
But Zhang Zhizhong didn't know the whereabouts of Chen Tanqiu, Mao ** and others.
In July 1946, our party members and their families regained their freedom in Xinjiang and returned to the embrace of Yan'an. Among them, Mao's wife Zhu Danhua and son Mao Yuanxin also returned to Yan'an.
Although *** saw them, he was still worried about Mao**'s whereabouts. With the outbreak of the civil war, our party focused on the war of liberation, and the search for Mao ** and others was shelved.
But in 1949, when the People's Liberation Army was victorious, Liu Huping, as a cellmate who was imprisoned with Mao **, was bent on finding the whereabouts of Mao ** and others.
He served as the director of the Wuwei Military Management Commission and has extensive experience in capturing spies. He seized several spies, destroyed the enemy's spy network, learned that they were coming from Xinjiang, and immediately began their interrogation.
Liu Huping learned from the confessions of these spies that Li Yingqi, the killer of warlord Sheng Shicai, was in charge of the killing activities in prison, and he must know the whereabouts of Mao ** and others.
After Sheng Shicai left Xinjiang, Li Yingqi, Zhang Sixin and others also left, and later they started their own business, Li Yingqi is said to have gone to Jinpu Road, and Zhang Sixin bought leather goods in the Hexi Corridor.
After getting these news, Liu Huping began to look for clues. ** It has also set its sights on Xinjiang, preparing to eliminate the spies there. Soon after, the higher-level leaders approached Liu Huping and told him that the organization had decided to send him to Xinjiang to take up a post.
Because Liu Huping had been imprisoned in Xinjiang, he was very familiar with the situation there. The chief announced two tasks to him: one is to find the remains of Mao ** and other comrades, and be sure to find them; The second is to catch the first person who killed the revolutionary martyrs and severely punish them.
After receiving his appointment, Liu Huping boarded a military plane bound for Xinjiang and traveled all the way to Dihua (present-day Urumqi), where they were located in the office building of the warlord Sheng Shicai.
Soon after arriving in Xinjiang, Liu Huping began to arrest spies, and under his leadership, the newly formed public security organs had already arrested many spies, and some spies had turned themselves in.
Despite his outstanding achievements, he did not succeed in the two tasks assigned to him by his superiors. One snowy night, Liu Huping sat in front of the fire in his office, thinking about how to do it.
His secretary sat at his desk on the other side, looking through previous files. Suddenly, the secretary shouted happily: "Minister Liu, I found the interrogation record of Mao **!"
Liu Huping's thoughts were suddenly disrupted, he stood up excitedly, and hurriedly rushed to the desk and picked up the interrogation record. Looking at it, Liu Huping's eyes slowly became moist.
The interrogation records are all the words that Mao ** said when he was interrogated, and the words revealed his firm belief in revolution and belief in communism.
Liu Huping took his secretary and guards to the Liudaowan cemetery, and he told the secretary that Sheng Shicai had killed many people when he was in Xinjiang, and that the area around Liudaowan was full of graves.
They braved the wind and snow to navigate the graveyard with difficulty, hoping to find some clues. But they asked nearby residents and received no useful information.
Because the wind and snow were so strong, they had to go back temporarily. After going back, Liu Huping plunged headlong into the file. Soon after, the good news came ......Zhang Sixin**!
This is a spring news, and it is also the spring that the people have been waiting for for a long time. The news of the criminal Zhang Sixin** made Liu Huping very happy, Zhang Sixin was another executioner under Sheng Shicai, and he knew a lot about many unsolved and mysterious cases back then.
As long as he is interrogated, many things will have clues. Liu Huping immediately sent a telegram to the Wuwei public security organs, asking them to send someone to escort Zhang Sixin to Dihua. A few days later, in the interrogation room in Dihua, Liu Huping and Zhang Sixin sat facing each other.
A few years ago, they used to sit like this, except that the former interrogator is now the interrogated.
Liu Huping's eyes were full of anger, he looked at Zhang Sixin in front of him, and his heart was full of anger and disappointment. He knows that this former prison warden has now become the one who killed Mao ** and other martyrs.
Zhang Sixin's face was full of fear and panic, he knew that his crime could not be covered up, and he knew that Liu Huping already knew all the truth. He began to shirk his crimes, but Liu Huping's eyes were full of determination and determination.
A few of us killed people! Zhang Sixin finally told the truth. Liu Huping's heart was full of sadness and anger, and he understood that the truth was about to be revealed in front of him.
But how much he wished, that was not true. Zhang Sixin slowly recounted Mao ** and others ** and the later killing. Liu Huping listened, his heart was full of grief and anger, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and clench his fists.
After hearing all this, Liu Huping held back the sadness and anger in his heart, calmed his mood, and asked Zhang Sixin: "Do you know where they are buried?"
Zhang Sixin nodded and said: "I know, later the Chongqing military commander said that he needed **, so I took someone to open the grave and photographed the **." With anger and sadness, and with deep nostalgia for the martyrs, Liu Huping escorted Zhang Sixin to the martyrs' cemetery.
He looked at the rows of grave bags, and his heart was filled with grief and anger. Zhang Sixin came to a hillside, pointed to the rows of grave bags below, and said that Mao ** and others were buried in the sixth-to-last row of grave bags under the hillside.
By the time the grave bag was opened, the body had been corroded for several years and was no longer recognizable. But Zhang Sixin remembers very clearly: the first one on the left side of the coffin is Chen Tanqiu, the second one is Mao **, and the first one on the right is Lin Jilu.
Liu Huping looked at the destroyed cemeteries and the corpses that had been corroded, and his heart was full of grief and anger. He knows that this ** must pay for his crimes.
He decided that he must let this ** get the punishment he deserves and avenge the martyrs.
Figure |Chen Tanqiu and Mao ** Liu Huping reburied the remains of the martyrs and erected a monument in front of the tomb to hold a memorial ceremony. Looking at the graves of his former comrades-in-arms, Liu Huping vowed to catch **.
Zhang Sixin has been arrested, and Li Yingqi is the number one executioner under Sheng Shicai, who has killed many people in Xinjiang. In August 1950, Liu Huping received a clue that Li Yingqi had set up a cigarette stall in Beijing's Xidan shopping mall.
After investigation, it was found that Li Yingqi was afraid that his life would be in danger when he went to Chongqing, so he stayed in Beiping and set up a cigarette stall. His misdeeds caused public outrage in various places, and his wife in Nanjing later told him that the Public Security Bureau had come to his door, and that he had been arrested after returning to Beijing.
Other criminals were also arrested one by one and sent to Xinjiang for trial. The Xinjiang Public Security Department issued a notice that victims can appeal to the public security department. Li Yingqi and other criminals pleaded guilty to the crime under the trial of Liu Huping and others.
In the winter of 1950, the criminals were tried and executed, and the people of Xinjiang celebrated their victory. The rest of the martyrs and victims of the revolution was guaranteed, and their mausoleums were rearranged.
Salute to the heroes and never forget! Commissar Mao's younger brother Mao ** made great sacrifices for the revolutionary cause. His tomb is located in the Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery in Urumqi, and people go to offer flowers every Qingming Festival.
Committee member Mao once affectionately said to the delegation to Xinjiang: "Pick a bouquet of wild flowers and put them in front of the grave of my younger brother Mao **." "Today's peace and prosperity are precisely the blood and lives of countless revolutionary martyrs.
Let us always remember these great heroes and remember their dedication and contributions!
