On October 19, 1935, the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army arrived at Wuqi Town, successfully ending the heroic feat of the world-famous 25,000-mile Long March.
On this day, the chairman had a whim and ordered left and right: "Is that Jiang's 'bounty order' still there?" ”
The comrades approached the "reward order", but they were puzzled by the chairman's intentions.
I want to see how much my head is worth from Jiang someone, and what is the price of the heads of heroes like Mr. Zhu and Lao Peng? ”
The chairman said it clearly, but the comrades were still confused. In normal times, the chairman does not care at all about such "bounty orders", what is going on today?

Chiang Kai-shek's "bounty order" reads:
Those who capture the bandit leaders Zhu, Mao and *** will be awarded 100,000 yuan each, and those who dedicate their heads will be awarded 80,000 yuan each. ”
In addition, the "reward order" also offered different prices to senior Red Army generals such as Luo Binghui.
Those who were on Lao Chiang's "reward order" were all heroic figures who played a pivotal role in the history of the Chinese nation, including the later leaders of New China, the founding marshals, and a large number of founding generals such as the founding generals, founding generals, and founding lieutenant generals.
After reading the "reward order", the chairman laughed: "It seems that the price of my head has increased again, but unfortunately he Jiang has failed again this time." ”
Zhang Wentian said wittily: "We also issued a 'reward order' to him Jiang someone, and anyone who captures Jiang Jieshi will be rewarded with 10 yuan." ”
The other ** leaders at the scene couldn't help laughing: "Okay, but you're too stingy." ”
Zhang Wentian said with a serious face: "I'm too much for 10 yuan, he's only worth this price!" ”
While the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was celebrating its victory, Chiang Kai-shek was extremely annoyed, and he could not figure out how the Kuomintang's strong military strength could not deal with the Red Army contingent that he regarded as "rogues".
Chiang Kai-shek looked up to the sky and sighed: "Six years of hard work and hard work, unfinished work." ”
Chiang Kai-shek never imagined that two years later, several heroes on the "bounty order" would become his guests, appearing in front of him openly and dignifiedly, and history is such a miracle.
On the right is Marshal ***.
In January 1938, Chiang Kai-shek telegraphed.
1. Generals above the division commander level of the Second Theater went to Luoyang to hold a meeting to discuss the Battle of Xuzhou and the War of Resistance in North China.
The commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, Lin, He, Liu He, and the military commanders of the three divisions of the Eighth Route Army, also attended the meeting as representatives.
The six representatives of the Eighth Route Army were all famous, and after the founding of New China, they all became the founding marshals of New China.
As soon as the train stopped, Wei Lihuang took the lead and got off the train with more than 30 ** generals.
Immediately afterwards, the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, the deputy commander-in-chief, also got out of the car, and they were followed by the three heroic division commanders of Lin, He, and Liu, as well as the deputy division commander and other attachés.
The platform was full of soldiers, and under the protection of a group of armed soldiers, Bai Chongxi, deputy chief of staff of the Military Commission, who came to greet them, led the way in front, and the Eighth Route Army and representatives of both sides walked out of the railway station together.
The generals of the Eighth Route Army were dressed in gray cloth uniforms with straps around their legs, low-key but in good spirits; **The general is dressed in yellow tweed**, riding boots, and his toes are proud.
Although the military hats of the generals of the Eighth Route Army are also decorated with the blue sky and white sun badges, in Bai Chongxi's eyes, they are still the "poor stick" Red Army wearing octagonal hats and red stars on their military hats.
Bai Chongxi is worthy of being called "Little Zhuge ", and his feeling is very accurate, because the Eighth Route Army was originally the armed forces of the poor in China and represented the interests of the poor in China.
In order to take into account the overall situation of the whole of China's joint resistance against Japan, the Red Army officers and soldiers changed into first-class military uniforms and wore the blue sky and white sun badge.
However, as the commander of the first division said at the mobilization meeting, although the Red officers and soldiers have changed into first-class military uniforms, they resolutely obey the leadership of the Communist Party of China and must hide the "red star" in their hearts.
**The division commander summed it up in four words, this is called "white skin and red heart"!
Chiang Kai-shek, who gave an impassioned anti-Japanese speech.
At the Luoyang Conference, Chiang Kai-shek delivered an impassioned speech, expressing the determination of the whole China and the whole nation to resolutely resist the war.
During the meal, Chiang Kai-shek specially invited ** and the two to share the table, which seemed to be out of courtesy, but in fact, Lao Chiang had other ideas.
No, after dinner, Chiang Kai-shek started his "activities", and he wanted to "meet" these heroic generals of the Eighth Route Army in turn.
For the two generals, in addition to being polite, Chiang Kai-shek's conversation did not have extravagant expectations for them, but he still happily passed the "anti-Japanese leader" addiction in front of the two generals and saved face.
Next, Lao Jiang first invited ***, a former Whampoa student, to his apartment.
Lao Jiang talked to the students of Huangpu, and he was born in the first phase of Huangpu, and the fourth phase of Huangpu is no stranger.
In the history of the Whampoa Military Academy, Lao Jiang discovered and excavated many "talents of the pillars of the party and the state" through talk "programs", and also misjudged some outstanding talents, such as the later founding marshal of New China
Because I don't understand the strong Wutai accent of *** country, and because *** is silent, Lao Jiang and *** didn't talk a few words, so he arbitrarily made a conclusion to ***: This person is useless!
More than a decade later, what will be the outcome of today's conversation? In this regard, Lao Jiang was inexplicably full of expectations.
You are a student of my Whampoa, and now you are back in the ** sequence, and you will definitely have a good development in ** in the future! As soon as Lao Jiang opened his mouth, he threw out the bait.
Laugh without saying a word.
Lao Jiang continued: "Many of your classmates in the first phase of ** have developed better than you, but you are only a deputy teacher, Qu Cai!" ”
**Still cherishing words like gold, he replied: "Thank you for your concern, **The Eighth Route Army is fighting the Japanese, I don't care about these things!" ”
Lao Jiang saw that *** was so crisp, resolute, and left no room for it, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and it would be meaningless for such a conversation to continue, so the conversation ended hastily.
The wooing failed, and he also hit a cold nail, which was the first time that Chiang Kai-shek fell into an embarrassing situation in one day.
Chiang Kai-shek's uniform.
Lao Jiang's conversation with another of his students, Commander Lin of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, was also unsatisfactory.
In contrast, although Master Lin's words are more than ***, he also belongs to the type of people who are "silent and silent".
However, when Lao Jiang threw out the "hydrangea", once the topic revealed the meaning of wooing, Master Lin's words became significantly less, and he no longer responded to Lao Jiang's question.
Lao Jiang really couldn't guess what he, a student back then, was thinking.
The Whampoa students did not accept the love of the "principal", and Lao Jiang was embarrassed and depressed, so the conversation "ended without a problem".
This was the second time in one day that Chiang Kai-shek was in embarrassment.
Next, Chiang Kai-shek met with *** alone
Lao Jiang said: "* Determined to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army in Xuzhou, can the Eighth Route Army send troops to support ** and attack the Jinpu line?" ”
** rejected: "There is no problem, cooperate with ** to fight against the Japanese, our Eighth Route Army is duty-bound." ”
** So crisply, Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied.
Once upon a time, Zhu, Mao, Peng, and Huang (Gongluo) were the people who bothered him the most, and they were also the most feared people.
Let's just talk about this***, his name has appeared more than once on the "wanted warrant" and "bounty order" of **, and the price is higher and higher every time, and this situation has been maintained until the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is temporarily over.
And today, ** sat in front of him without humility or arrogance, revealing an awe-inspiring heroic spirit all over his body, although the coarse cloth military uniform had faded, but he was neatly and capably, with a standard soldier's demeanor.
If this person is the ...... used by **Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but reverie.
He decided to use his killer weapon, this "sharp weapon" has helped him to ** warlords in several provinces of China, and he has tried it repeatedly.
Towards the end of the meeting, ** got up and said goodbye.
*Marshal. Chiang Kai-shek smiled and talked to ***: "I wonder if Commander-in-Chief Peng's mansion is okay, have you returned to your hometown recently?" ”
**Silence does not answer.
Chiang Kai-shek continued: "If there is any difficulty in Commander-in-Chief Peng's family, I can ask Chairman Zhang Wenbai to take care of it. ”
No need, my hometown has long been taken care of by Chairman He Jian, and the ancestral graves of three generations of the Peng family have also been dug up. * The face is expressionless, but the words are like arrows, shooting straight into the other party's heart.
Chiang Kai-shek was so embarrassed that he was speechless for a while.
He stood up, took out a check that had been prepared, got up and handed it to *** This is a small gift from me, talk about his heart, and ask Commander Peng to smile. ”
** didn't appreciate it at all, and refused: "Peng, as an anti-Japanese soldier in China, will definitely not accept other money except for the allowance issued by the Eighth Route Army." ”
** He added: "I also ask the chairman of the committee to give priority to the all-China joint war of resistance and give full payment to the Eighth Route Army, which is sufficient." ”
Chiang Kai-shek was embarrassed, and he forcibly held back the anger in his heart and said: "That's another matter, the ** side will consider it, and then discuss it later, and then discuss ...... later."”
Leave! "* After saying goodbye, turn around and leave.
This was the third time in one day that Chiang Kai-shek had found himself in an embarrassing situation.
Chiang Kai-shek's last "summoned" was the commander of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army**.
It stands to reason that Chiang Kai-shek just saw *** and said something inappropriate, and committed the taboo of "which pot is not opened and which pot is mentioned", and he should learn a lesson and speak cautiously, so as not to embarrass himself.
However, perhaps because he felt too good about himself, Chiang Kai-shek did not have a long memory, and in front of the hero's ** division commander, he "stepped on the thunder" again.
Chiang Kai-shek really regarded himself as a "leader" who could not be discarded, so when he saw the ** division commander, Chiang Kai-shek played an official tone and took enough of a fight, and even the courtesy greetings were full of "kingly spirit".
How is your 120th division? Do you dare to fight the Japanese? What is the morale of the officers and soldiers? ”
* replied: "My 120th Division is poorly equipped, there is not enough ammunition, and the soldiers do not even have warm clothes. ”
Chiang Kai-shek let out an "oh" and said, "There are many difficulties, and there are also difficulties." After that, the subject changed.
How is Master He's family? Just say something. Chiang Kai-shek began to "step on thunder".
* replied coldly: "Thanks to the care of the chairman, the house in my hometown in Xiangxi has been burned down by you, and my family has basically been beheaded all over the house!" ”
* "Two kitchen knives make a revolution", only during the period from the Northern Expedition Revolution to the victory of the Red Army's Long March, there were as many as 89 martyrs surnamed He alone.
All this is inseparable from Chiang Kai-shek.
As soon as these words came out, Chiang Kai-shek was speechless and didn't know how to answer.
This was the fourth time in a day that Chiang Kai-shek had found himself in an embarrassing situation.
He looked embarrassed: "Yes, yes, I know all this history, you are an old revolutionary......."”

Finally, Chiang Kai-shek asked ** such a question:
* Sixteen years, why did you put the army commander in a good manner, and chose to go to Nanchang to make some kind of riots? ”
* said lightly: "I have different political views with the chairman." ”
Sent away, Chiang Kai-shek was disheartened, Zhu, Peng, He, Liu, these former subordinates were not moved by **Houlu, and Lin and Xu, the two Whampoa students, were also indifferent to the "hydrangea" thrown by him, the "principal", why is this?
Chiang Kai-shek is indeed difficult to understand, in his opinion, the "poor sticks" rebelled and made revolution, which was caused by poverty, and it was understandable that the poor wanted to turn over.
However, the situation of these six generals of the Eighth Route Army was different.
Back then, Zhu, Peng, He, and Liu were all in high positions; Lin and Xu can choose the so-called "orthodox" and enjoy the comfortable life of Houlu, brocade clothes and food.
However, they chose "hardship and hardship."
Chiang Kai-shek did not understand all his life, and the fundamental reason for this result was two words - faith!
A person's desires are innate, and if there is no faith, there will be no bottom line for desires.
Will you join a team that has only desires and no faith?
Will you be willing to live your life with only desires and no knowledge of what faith is?
At least I won't, because I believe in such a slang saying:
If a person has no faith, what is the difference between him and a salted fish? ”
