"How spectacular! When I learned that the plane was flying over the Yangtze River, I pressed against the window and stared intently at the bridge piers on the Yangtze River. After Labor Day in 1956, ** flew to Guangzhou to listen to work reports from various places, including 11 issues such as transportation, commerce, and ** arrangement.
When it was the turn of the Guangxi Autonomous Region to report, Tao Zhu introduced the leading comrades of the Guangxi Provincial Party Committee to *** one by one.
Are you a relative of Lin Kewu? "When introduced to the Minister of Guangxi, he asked half-jokingly. After listening to Lin Kewu's report on Guangxi's work, Lin Hu was mentioned again"He was a neutral man, neutral in the April 12 coup, opposed Chiang Kai-shek during the War of Resistance and the War of Liberation, and his words and deeds were beneficial to the people. "
In February 1925, in order to defeat the warlord Chen Jiongming, the First Eastern Crusade began. At that time, Lin Hu was a general under Chen Jiongming, and he didn't pay attention to the Whampoa students who had just joined the army, and even boasted that Haikou was called the Whampoa Army"It's just a child's trick, you see me kill him and don't come back! "
After the battle began, Lin Hubu always suppressed the other side with ten times the number of people and rich combat experience of the Whampoa Army. However, with the increase in **, Chiang Kai-shek personally went to the front and ordered He Yingqin to find a way to turn the tide of the war.
So, Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Cheng went to the artillery position, and Chen Cheng personally adjusted the muzzle of the gun and fired at the Lin Hu Division, resulting in a large number of Lin Hu Divisions and the collapse of the army. The Whampoa Army took the opportunity to counterattack and successfully occupied the position of the Lin Hu Division.
In the predicament of being attacked by the enemy on his belly and back, Lin Hubu fled in embarrassment.
Lin Hu was disheartened by the battle and decided to leave the army and live in Shanghai. After the Northern Expeditionary Army occupied Shanghai, Lin Hu feared that Chiang Kai-shek would retaliate against him, so he fled to Tianjin alone.
When Li Zongren arrived in Shanghai, he learned that Lin Hu had taken refuge in Tianjin, so he sent Lin Hu's family to inform him to return to Shanghai, and assured Chiang Kai-shek that he had no intention of retaliating.
Lin Hu had a good personal relationship with Li Zongren, and immediately returned to Shanghai after receiving the letter. In many meetings with Li Zongren, Lin Hu expressed his distrust of Chiang Kai-shek, and Li Zongren assured him in person that Chiang Kai-shek would never settle old scores with him.
However, Lin Hu was also not suitable for showing up in military and political circles, so he was advised to go to Europe for two or three years before returning to China to run an industry. In addition, Li Zongren also promised to provide him with 8,000 yuan of living expenses every year.
Lin Hu was in adversity, followed Li Zongren's advice, first appeased his family, boarded a ship alone to France, and then lived temporarily in England. In 1929, Lin Hu's family wrote to inform him that the Gui faction and Chiang Kai-shek had completely broken up, and that after the defeat of the Gui faction, Li Zongren's promised assistance had come to naught, and hoped that Lin Hu would return to China as soon as possible to avoid being exiled in a foreign land.
In order to protect his relationship with Li Zongren from Chiang Kai-shek's retaliation, Lin Hu immediately took his family to live in Hong Kong after landing in Hong Kong.
In the winter of 1935, Lin Hu's old friends Yang Yongtai and Wu Tiecheng were appointed secretary general of Chiang Kai-shek and mayor of Shanghai, respectively. Considering that there were still some important items at home in Shanghai, Lin Hu decided to return to Shanghai to retrieve them.
Yang Yongtai learned that Lin Hu had returned and visited his home every week, but he still had concerns about Chiang Kai-shek. Under Lin Hu's questioning, Yang Yongtai assured him that Chiang Kai-shek would never turn over his old accounts.
Hearing this assurance, Lin Hu was relieved, stayed in Shanghai with peace of mind, and went to Suzhou from time to time to play and hunt with friends.
The following year,"The Liangguang Incident"broke out, Yang Yongtai sent a representative to visit Lin Hu, saying that Chiang Kai-shek had approved Lin Hu to carry a huge amount of money to persuade Chen Jitang's troops to break away from Chen Jitang and obey the command of Nanjing.
Lin Hu and many of the division commanders of Chen Jitang's department were old acquaintances, and they often kept in touch when Lin Hu was in Hong Kong. As long as Lin Hu went to lobby, there was a great chance of success, but he knew that on the battlefield of the Eastern Crusade, Chiang Kai-shek's relationship with him had deteriorated, and even if he didn't care about old grievances for the time being because of his interests, the relationship between them was still too shallow.
After careful consideration, Lin Hu considered that he might face the risk of being brought down if he served Chiang Kai-shek, let alone how to deal with his former subordinates and friends. Therefore, he politely rejected Yang Yongtai's proposal, but Yang Yongtai did not give up and frequently sent people to lobby him.
Lin Hu understood that if he resolutely refused, the current situation in Shanghai would be very unfavorable, so he adopted a half-push attitude and proposed to go back to Hong Kong to see the situation first.
Yang Yongtai once again sent people to Hong Kong to express his concern for Lin Hu and directly gave money. At this critical moment, several of Chen Jitang's division commanders came to the door and asked Lin Hu for his views on the current situation.
Lin Hu advised them not to defect to Chiang Kai-shek, because although they might get some small profits in the short term, they would eventually be swallowed up by Chiang Kai-shek. However, Lin Hu never expected that Chiang Kai-shek did not succeed in overthrowing Chen Jitang, but instead bribed Chen Jitang's army commander, causing all Chen Jitang's subordinates to defect.
Chen Jitang had no choice but to leave Guangdong, and Chiang Kai-shek took the opportunity to take over.
Lin Hu was worried that Chiang Kai-shek's spies would be detrimental to him, so he decided to leave Hong Kong and move to Wuzhou. Upon learning that Lin Hu had arrived in Wuzhou, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi immediately sent planes to take him to Nanning.
At first, Bai Chongxi had doubts about whether Lin Hu would cause trouble in Guangxi, but after learning that Lin Hu had resolutely resisted Chiang Kai-shek's temptation, his attitude gradually eased.
In order to dispel the doubts of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, Lin Hu began to arrange for his family to return to Lu Chuan's hometown to live. Even, Li Zongren also funded Lin Hu to establish a small farm.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Lin Hu served as a senator of the National Senate, he not only actively participated in the meeting, but also often went to the first middle school to inspect the discipline, educate the first to unite as one, and jointly resist Japan.
After the war, he was elected as a legislator of the Kuomintang, and when Li Zongren was running for the first time, he strongly supported Li Zongren's election as deputy **. After the liberation of Guangxi, Lin Kewu, a member of the same clan, sent someone to visit Lin Hu, hoping that he could come out to work, but Lin Hu politely declined.
After Zhang Yunyi took office as secretary of the Guangxi Provincial Party Committee, he sent people to invite Lin Hu to work three times, and finally Lin Hu agreed.
Lin Hu, now a member of the Guangxi Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, actively responded to the call of the Communist Party and participated in the land reform movement. ** To Lin Kewu: "Lin Hu's status is too low and needs to be rearranged." ”
Lin Hu was elected as the vice chairman of the provincial CPPCC in accordance with the instructions of the Ministry of Science and Technology, and was added as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) by the Ministry of Political Science and Technology. At the invitation of Li Weihan, the minister of the first department, he visited Beijing and other places, and was received and invited by the first minister, and also visited the Changchun Automobile Factory.
When he learned that the output of the automobile factory was more than twice that of the Kuomintang rule, he said happily: "It is really amazing that there is such a large-scale automobile factory just a few years after liberation!" ”
At the Nanning Conference in 1958, Lin Hu was fortunate to participate in the activities of leading leaders to meet with representatives of the masses of all ethnic groups and all walks of life. That night, when the ** and other ** leaders were performing, they sent people to look for Lin Hu, but unfortunately, Lin Hu did not attend the evening party and missed the opportunity to meet with the ** and other ** leaders.
Despite this, Lin Hu still actively participated in the administration and discussion of state affairs in his new post and made suggestions for Guangxi's economic construction, which was highly praised by leaders at all levels and the masses.
He once told Lin Kewu: "I am an old soldier and did not have a close relationship with the Communist Party in the past, but the Communist Party and ** care so much about me, I am deeply moved, and I am determined to follow the Communist Party to the end." ”
