On January 28, 1931, the **Soviet District held the first celebration meeting of the victory against encirclement and suppression in Donggu, Ji'an, at which the common people of Donggu gritted their teeth and tried a prisoner.
What many people didn't expect was that during the trial on this day, the captive actually shouted:"Runzhi, save me. ”
The leaders of the Red Army present were surprised, did this person know ***
Who is this captive? What does he have to do with ***?
His name is Zhang Huizan, a native of Changsha, Hunan, born in 1885, who studied at the Baoding Military Academy and the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School.
In December 1919, ** led a delegation of Hunan to "drive Zhang", braved the bitter cold, and went to Beijing**, demanding the removal of Zhang Jingyao, the overseer and governor of Hunan, an unarmed scholar, to challenge the number one person in a province with heavy troops, many people think that this is just an egg hitting a stone.
**Don't think so, Zhang Jingyao relied on Yuan Shikai to take the throne, and later became a "butcher" in Hunan, killing a lot of progressives, the people of Hunan dare not speak out against him, in addition, Zhang Jingyao is brutal, and the troops under him are even more absurd.
In Hunan, Zhang Jingyao did all the bad things, which can be described as a lot of crimes.
In November 1919, Zhang Jingyao led his troops to suppress the anti-imperialist patriotic movement led by the young fighters, which caused the dissatisfaction of the young fighters, so he led the "Zhang" delegation to Beijing to request that Zhang Jingyao be deposed and driven out of Hunan.
Zhang Huizan was still a hot-blooded young man at this time, and he participated in the "Expelling Zhang" movement led by ***, and it was at this time that the two met.
In 1924, Zhang Huizan was promoted to the chief of the police department in the provincial capital of Hunan Province, and during this time, he did a good deed.
Changsha has a special responsible for seducing women from good families to fornicate with others, this person was a famous prostitute in Changsha in the early years, called Liu Mazi, not that her face is full of pockmarks, but that the corners of her eyebrows are only a few "flaws", so she is called pockmark.
Liu Mazi in addition to some flaws in the corners of the eyebrows, the posture is outstanding, blowing, playing and singing is also proficient, there are many people who kneel under her pomegranate skirt, at the age of 20, she married a rich man as an aunt's wife, married to this family, because the posture is too glamorous, it caused the hatred of her husband's original partner.
Under the strong opposition of her husband's original partner, the rich man had no choice but to expel Liu Mazi, and in order to compensate her, the rich man gave her a large sum of money.
With this money, Liu Mazi rented a "mansion" and used the resources in the brothel before to start a "business" to lure women from good families to fornicate with others
Before taking office, Zhang Huizan heard of the name of "Liu Mazi", and he didn't like this kind of "dusty woman" very much, especially this kind of dusty woman with "hands and eyes to the sky".
After thinking about it, Zhang Huizan decided to eliminate harm for the people and find a way to get rid of her.
One evening, when the office hours of various organs in Hunan Province had passed, Zhang Huizan and his people arrested Liu Mazi, and arrested Liu Mazi, Zhang Huizan neither tried nor announced to everyone, and directly ordered that he be sentenced to death the next morning.
That night, Liu Mazi did not change her life and seduced the prison guards, she thought it was just a farce.
The next morning, Zhang Huizan ordered Liu Mazi to be escorted to the execution ground, at that time, Liu Mazi panicked, it seemed that she was going to move seriously, she cried and didn't want to get in the car, Zhang Huizan asked people to find a big basket and carry Liu Mazi away.
Not long after, a gunshot rang out, and Liu Mazi fell to the ground in response to the sound to eliminate harm for the people.
This incident was a good thing that Zhang Huizan did in Hunan, and some people still mentioned it decades later.
However, the good things Zhang Huizan did were limited to this one thing.
After the Northern Expedition, Zhang Huizan defected to the Kuomintang and began to be an enemy of our party, and in 1929, Zhang Huizan was transferred to Jiangxi and served as the commander of the 18th Division of the Kuomintang and the commander of the Nanchang garrison.
In Nanchang, Zhang Huizan committed a "heinous crime", because during the national terrorist period at that time, he often arrested patriots on a large scale on the suspicion of the Communist Party, and killed them, and the citizens of Nanchang were very disgusted by Zhang Huizan's actions, and some people called him "Zhang Butcher".
In December 1929, Chiang Kai-shek convened a conference on "suppressing the Communists" in Nanchang, and Zhang Huizan responded positively and won Chiang Kai-shek's favor.
A year later, Chiang Kai-shek mobilized 11 divisions and 2 brigades with a total of 100,000 people to launch the first encirclement and suppression battle against the **Soviet area.
Zhang Huizan was appointed commander-in-chief of the former enemy with the rank of lieutenant general.
In Zhang Huizan's eyes at that time, he didn't think how powerful the Red Army was, so he decided to "fight quickly", what he didn't expect was that it was such a group of Red Army who were not taken seriously by him that captured him alive in the first round.
In the face of the enemy's "encirclement and suppression", they decided to adopt the operational policy of "luring the enemy into depth", and they took the main force of the Red Army with more than 40,000 people and retreated to the area of Donggu in Ji'an County and Longgang in Yongfeng County, waiting for the opportunity.
Zhang Huizan was arrogant, thinking that the Red Army was indeed afraid of him, so he led his troops to advance at a rapid pace.
Soon after, the newly formed 5th Division of the Kuomintang Gongbing Domain "captured" Donggu in one fell swoop, which made Zhang Huizan extremely excited, and he led the 18th Division to advance towards Longgang.
In the early morning of December 30, 1930, ** and ** came to Longgang and commanded on the front line of Xiaobie Mountain.
At seven o'clock in the morning, there was a heavy fog in Longgang, Zhang Huizan ordered the troops to continue to advance in order to grab the "first merit", at 10 o'clock in the morning, they stepped into the encirclement of the Red Army, after a fierce battle, our army killed, wounded and captured more than 9,000 enemies, and the enemy's 18th division announced the annihilation of the whole army.
In this ambush, Zhang Huizan also became a prisoner.
The Red Army soldiers were very excited, and for the first time captured the enemy's "big official", they tied up Zhang Huizan and marched on Longgang Street. ”
Knowing that the person in front of him was the commander-in-chief of the Red Army, Zhang Huizan was very anxious, and he asked how much money he needed to let him go.
* Shaking his head: "Our Red Army is not a bandit who kidnaps tickets, you went to the Soviet area to burn and kill, and plunder, can we let you go?" ”
*'s words made Zhang Huizan lower his head, and then he was placed in a temporary cell.
At dusk, ** hurried over to see Zhang Huizan in the cell.
A few years ago, Zhang Huizan and *** were still "comrades-in-arms" when they drove Zhang Movement, and now the identities of the two are very different, Zhang Huizan was very ashamed, and he said: "Mr. Runzhi, I haven't seen you for a long time, me."
Before Zhang Huizan finished speaking, ** interrupted him: "Mr. Commander-in-Chief, don't say more." ”
**, please spare my life. ”
** After looking at Zhang Huizan, he said: "We don't kill you, but you must know that the Red Army does not kill you because you have no crime to kill." ”
Hearing ***'s words, a glimmer of hope emerged in Zhang Huizan's heart.
** proposed not to kill Zhang Huizan, the reason is very simple, because he wanted to use Zhang Huizan to exchange for the food needed by the people in the Soviet area and all kinds of ** ammunition needed by the Red Army.
Zhang Huizan**, his wife Zhu Xingfang was very anxious, and asked someone to find Chiang Kai-shek.
Chiang Kai-shek did not expect that Zhang Huizan would be captured by the Red Army, so he entrusted Lu Diping, chairman of Jiangxi Province of the Kuomintang, to solve the matter.
At the same time, ** also told the CCP about the capture of Zhang Huizan**.
At this time, after deliberation, the CCP ** in Shanghai sent instructions to ***, agreed to ***'s suggestion, and took Zhang Huizan as a hostage in exchange for items beneficial to our army with the Kuomintang**.
For this reason, Lu Diping proposed to our party the conditions for the release of Zhang Huizan, 200,000 yuan in cash, 20 loads of medicine, the release of more than 100 Communist political prisoners held in the prison under Nanchang, and the provision of firearms and ammunition for more than 5,000 people.
The Chinese Communists were still satisfied with this condition, and they decided to send Li Xiangwu, deputy secretary general of the Central Military Commission, and Tu Zuochao, a member of the Special Branch, to Nanchang for formal negotiations as representatives of the Chinese Communists.
Li Xiangwu and Tu Zuochao did not dare to delay, and immediately came to Nanchang secretly, and just as they were about to negotiate with the Kuomintang, an accident happened.
On January 28, 1931, the Soviet District held a celebration of the victory of the anti-encirclement and suppression battle in Donggu, Ji'an.
If Zhang Huizan is not allowed to be tried, it is unreasonable, the people's mood is very high, there is no way, ** found He Changgong, and asked him to bring more Red Army soldiers to the scene, and he must pay attention to protecting Zhang Huizan.
On the same day, according to the instructions of ***, He Changgong came to the venue, and the people who participated in the conference saw Zhang Huizan, and they all gritted their teeth, Zhang Huizan did too many bad things to the Soviet area, and the people resented him too much.
When Zhang Huizan was being tried, the situation suddenly got out of control, and the common people rushed up and punched and kicked Zhang Huizan, Zhang Huizan shouted: "Runzhi, save me."
After a while, Zhang Huizan was silent.
At this time, the common people in the Soviet area still did not understand their hatred, and someone cut off his head again and threw it into the river, and a few days later, the Kuomintang soldiers found Zhang Huizan's head in the river and quickly reported it.
As a result, the negotiations between our party and the Kuomintang broke down, and Li Xiangwu and Tu Zuochao also hurriedly and secretly left Nanchang.
The killing of Zhang Huizan caused a great influence in the Kuomintang, and Chiang Kai-shek did everything he could to enhance the hatred of the Kuomintang soldiers.
Zhang Huizan's death was actually not expected, because in terms of the circumstances at the time, it was the most appropriate thing to exchange him for supplies, but unfortunately it was also fate, and he ended up like this, and he was to blame.
