Nian went to Zhongnanhai for a meeting, ** let him sit in the last row
In 1950, the first to enter Huairentang and participate in an important meeting. Walking into the conference hall, he chose a place and waited quietly. Soon after, ** also walked into the conference room, and after looking around, he recognized the long-lost *** at a glance
He walked straight up to *** and said politely: "Comrade *, if you don't mind, can you change to the last row to take a seat?" Hearing ***'s words, ** was a little puzzled for a while, and I didn't know the prime minister's true intentions.
**At first, he politely declined the kindness of ***, but in the end, he was moved by ***'s repeated invitations and walked to the last row. Why is that? Why do you insist on sitting in the last row?
What's the story? It turned out that in 1924, in order to make a living, ** wandered the streets and alleys of Taiyuan every day. One day, he met a classmate of the National Normal School, and the other party told him: "The Guangzhou National ** Military Academy is recruiting students in Shanghai, are you willing to go to Shanghai?" ”
At this difficult moment, ** was very happy to hear the news and immediately agreed. It was precisely because of this decision that his life was changed. *'s brother works in Yan Xishan's army, and he knows an officer surnamed Guo who is willing to take the exam.
So, in February, ** made an appointment with his fellow villagers to take a bus to Shanghai.
The Whampoa Military Academy was founded by Mr. Sun Yat-sen and is located in the old Sailor School on Huangpu Island in Guangzhou, hence its name. ** Knowing this from the admission brochure of the Whampoa Military Academy, he was attracted by the greatness of Dr. Sun Yat-sen and decided to join the revolution.
After a rigorous written test, oral examination and physical examination, ** and several other Shanxi students successfully passed the preliminary examination, and they took the train from Shanghai to Guangzhou to take the re-examination.
In the end, the performance of ** and others was recognized by the Whampoa Military Academy, and they were admitted as the first batch of cadets of the Whampoa Military Academy. **I clearly remember that there were Chen Geng, Zuo Quan, Cai Shenxi and others in the first batch of students.
Since then, ** began his military career. The first director of the Political Department of the Whampoa Military Academy was Dai Jitao, who was also a counselor to Chiang Kai-shek. However, when Dai Jitao lectured to his students, he always emphasized traditional moral concepts such as courtesy, righteousness, honesty, loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, which made the students feel dissatisfied.
One day, when Dai Jitao was giving a speech on the podium, he couldn't help but stand up and ask him: "What is loyalty?" What is Filial Piety? What is Righteousness? Dai Jitao was speechless and embarrassed by the question.
Soon after, Dai Jitao left the post of director of the Political Department of the Whampoa Military Academy and was replaced by Shao Yuanchong, and later replaced by ***. * After taking over as director of the Political Department, the political work of the Whampoa Military Academy has been significantly improved, and all work has been carried out smoothly.
Under the leadership of ***, the political work of the military academy was extremely active, very revolutionary and combative, which not only stimulated the revolutionary enthusiasm of teachers and students, but also deeply impressed ***.
He is actively involved in various activities organized by the Political Department, including speaking at weekend lecture sessions and participating in the student singing team. And every time *** speaks, ** always listens carefully in the audience and sincerely admires the leader of the Communist Party.
With his support and leadership, the progressive students of the Whampoa Military Academy established the "Young Servicemen's Federation". *He has a close relationship with Jiang Xianyun, the head of the federation, and often communicates in the same team and dormitory.
Under the influence of Chiang Hsien-yun, ** also joined the "Young Servicemen's Federation" and actively fought against the Kuomintang rightists in the school. Under the guidance of the Communists, the ideological consciousness of the first class has gradually improved.
In 1925, after the end of the Second Zhifeng War, Zhang Zuolin, Duan Qirui and Feng Yuxiang jointly established a temporary **, and even invited Mr. Sun Yat-sen to go north to discuss the state of the country.
However, the Cantonese warlord Chen Jiongming was entrenched near Huizhou and attempted to attack Guangzhou. In this context, ** led the students of the Whampoa Military Academy to participate in the First Eastern Crusade.
** Having graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, he stayed in school as the deputy platoon commander of the first battalion of the third batch of enlisted students, responsible for rear service on the road to the east. The platoon he led was highly disciplined and fought bravely, and was well received by the masses.
In the summer of 1925, ** left the Whampoa Military Academy and was assigned to the Sixth Mixed Brigade of the Second National Army led by Feng Yuxiang in Anyang, Henan. However, as the enemy attacked and tracked, the troops scattered and fled, and with ***'s disgust with the warlord's forces, he chose to leave.
Soon after, ** came to Wuhan, which was occupied by the Northern Expeditionary Army, and met Huangpu's classmates. During this period, he read a lot of communist books, and also had in-depth exchanges with some Communist Party members and progressives on campus, and gained a deeper understanding of the Communist Party and communism.
After careful consideration, it was decided to take the path of the Communist Party.
In March 1927, the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was under threat. At this critical moment, ** submitted an application to the party to join the party. After the introduction of Fan Bingxing and Yang Dekui, ** officially joined the Communist Party.
He felt deeply honored to be a member of the communist ranks, and also remembered the oath that "communists will shed their last drop of blood for communism". After joining the Communist Party, I learned that the person in charge of the CCP in the Wuhan Military Region was.
One day, he received a notice to go to the seat of the ** organ of the Communist Party of China to attend a meeting, where he listened to the report on the political situation again. This strengthened his revolutionary resolve.
In order to express his revolutionary determination, he changed his name "Xu Xiangqian" to "On the way of the Long March, he saved his life."
In the spring of 1935, after receiving the news that the Red Army was preparing to enter Sichuan, the Red Fourth Front Army withdrew from the Sichuan-Shaanxi base area and responded to the Red Army's northward movement.
On June 15, ** and other leaders arrived in Maogong.
Next to the black water in the northwest of Sichuan, ** and *** meet. **Tell *** Zunyi Conference confirmed ***'s leadership in the Red Army. **Overjoyed by this, he has always longed to see***
Soon after, **'s wish came true. In order to welcome the leaders of the Red Army and the Red Fourth Front Army, he led the Red Army to capture Maogong and clear the way for the Red Army.
In addition, the Red Army commanders and fighters were also ordered to wear straw sandals and knit woolen socks. In mid-July 1935, ** finally met with *** and others.
**Hold the hand tightly and say: "Comrade Qian, you have worked hard!" * said movingly: "I've always wanted to find you, but it's just .......""In a conversation with *** and other ** leaders, ** expressed his request to be transferred.
**After hearing this, he smiled, ** and the others did not speak. In the end, ** said: "Comrade Qianqian, you have achieved a lot, created two Great Soviet districts, fought many battles. ”
** said modestly: "I know that my ability and level are not enough, so I would like to ask ** to assign me a new job." *Still smiling and not speaking, everyone finally discussed the issue of fighting north.
The meeting with the Red Army, the Red Army and others filled his heart with joy, but he did not anticipate the complicated situation that the Red Fourth Front Army would face after the meeting with the Red Army.
In the early days of Zhang Guotao's foul march north, he agreed to go north under persuasion, but the Red Army was also divided into the Left Route Army and the Right Route Army to act separately. ** and Chen Changhao, ** and others led the Right Route Army to follow *** and other ** leaders, while **, Zhang Guotao and *** and others led the Left Route Army.
On the march in the vast expanse of the steppe, it was extremely difficult for the Red Army fighters. Since most of the warriors were not accustomed to the wet grass and had little food, they had to eat wild herbs as a staple food, and sometimes even jute would cause their mouths to swell to the point of being unable to speak.
In this predicament, ** was particularly concerned about the life and health of ** the leader, especially *** and *** due to *** working day and night, excessive physical overdraft, coupled with the consumption of wild vegetables and barley with the soldiers, which led to malnutrition, and he fell ill soon after.
** Bravely persevered in battle, but he was attacked by disease. His condition was menacing, with a high fever that did not go away, an enlarged liver, and a yellowish color, and he was diagnosed with hepatitis and urgently needed to drain pus.
However, during the march, surgery could not be performed, and doctors had to use medicine and ice to cool him down. **Every day he is in a coma.,In addition to directing battles,,I will also find time to visit him.
Later, the organization overadjusted Deng Ying to take care of him, and the doctor finally discharged the pus through a long cold compress, and the high fever of ** slowly subsided. **I heard that *** was sick, so I deliberately brought him a piece of beef that I had saved, and this beef undoubtedly became the best tonic, so that ***'s body began to recover slowly.
Later, he also assisted in negotiations with Yan Xishan, contributing to the establishment of an anti-Japanese national united front.
Before Yan Xishan left, the chairman said to ***: "You are all from Shanxi, get closer, it will be easier to do Yan Xishan's work." * I went to Shanxi with other leaders and went all out to devote myself to my new job.
When he arrived at Taihe Lingkou, Yan Xishan happened to get the news that Tianzhen had repelled the Japanese attack, and he welcomed the arrival of *** very much: "Welcome, Mr. Zhou, you came too timely!" ”
Yan Xishan and *** shook hands tightly, and then *** introduced the three accompanying people to Yan Xishan. After hearing this, Yan Xishan straightened his clothes and stretched out his hand to shake hands with *** and others.
When he was introduced, he affectionately shook ***'s hand and said: "Forward is also a Wutai person, my fellow countryman!" A generation of generals, long admiration and long-term admiration! "Yan Xishan and *** are both from Wutai, **'s home is in Yong'an Village, Yan Xishan's home is in Hebian Village, and the two villages are only separated by a river.
On the way to Shanxi, **told *** that before the Xinhai Revolution, Yan Xishan was studying at the Zhenwu School in Japan, when Okamura Ninji was his captain and Ban Heng Seishiro was his instructor.
Despite the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he still maintained his association with these people.
** After pondering for a moment, he said: "Yan Xishan's methods of dealing with our party are not inferior to Chiang Kai-shek. *has always attached importance to ***'s point of view, so on the way to Lailingkou, he has already thought about how to deal with Yan Xishan.
Although Yan Xishan and *** met for the first time, the strength of the other party should not be underestimated. As a guest, Yan Xishan admired ***, the leader of the Communist Party of China. He knows that he served as the director of the political department of the Whampoa Military Academy in his 20s, and for several years, he has been a well-known leader in the CCP circles.
In December 1936, it was *** who went to Xi'an in person on behalf of the CCP to persuade Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng to resolve the "Xi'an Incident" peacefully. Such a well-known *** plus *** and other powerful negotiation opponents, Yan Xishan did not dare to despise it.
Knowing the difficulty of negotiation, Yan Xishan jokingly said: "Zhou Gong came to Shanxi with a real discernment, and let my fellow Wutai fellow and my students come forward to participate in the talks." But don't let *** dig into my corner! ”
**and**persuading*** to go back to my hometown to see,** a little hesitant. **Understand the worries of ***, he knows the importance of the situation in his hometown to ***, so he said: "Going home is also part of the work, the strategic position of the Wutai Mountain is very important, go back, not only to relieve the pain of lovesickness, but also to expand the party's influence, to prepare for the future work, why not?" ”
In addition to asking *** to go back, ** also asked the Ministry of Supply to take out 60 oceans and let *** buy something for his family. Eventually, **persuaded by *** and **, decided to go home and have a look.
**With***Although we rarely meet, the friendship remains the same **Poor health,**distressed*** and ***Although we rarely meet, the friendship remains the same **and***Initial recovery from a serious illness,**For the sake of *** **Poor health,**distress*** and find a comfortable position for it.
**Carefully arranged, let *** sit on the soft sofa, so that everyone present felt moved. And at a dinner party, ** apologized to Huang Jie, saying that he did something sorry for Huang Jie more than 20 years ago, and mentioned the "red rope".
This made Huang Jie very puzzled, but in the end she suddenly realized. So, why do you apologize to Huang Jie? What happened back then?
In Shanghai in 1930, Huang Jie came alone according to the organization's arrangement. At that time, Shanghai was shrouded in the shadow of the White Terror, and as a member of the Communist Party, Huang Jie's situation was very dangerous.
However, despite this, he still had to fight under the noses of the enemy. After arriving in Shanghai, Huang Jie was designated as a secret traffic officer for *** and others, which was a dangerous but important job.
One day, ** handed over an extremely important piece of military intelligence to Huang Jie and told him: "Comrade Huang Jie, this information is very important, you must hand it over to Comrade ***!" ”
Huang Jie nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely guarantee to complete the task!" Huang Jie disguised himself as a teacher and came to the vicinity of ***'s residence, and he circled around twice to make sure that no enemy was following before walking towards ***'s residence.
Arriving downstairs at ***'s house, Huang Jie pretended to take a casual look upstairs, but did not find the red rope on the window. This situation surprised Huang Jie, and he thought that *** might be in danger and could not pass on information.
It turned out that Huang Jie and *** agreed that if there is a red rope hanging on the window, it means safety, and vice versa. But now, there is no red rope on the window, which makes Huang Jie very worried.
Huang Jie quickly left ***'s residence and reported to ***: "Comrade * may be in danger, I didn't pass on the information. * Immediately asked, "Are you sure?"
Is he really in danger? Huang Jie said firmly: "I saw it with my own eyes, and I can't be wrong!" *Immediately call the organization**, but I didn't expect the other party to say: "Comrade *Comrade is fine, he is still waiting for your information!" ”
***, who has always been calm-tempered, couldn't help but get angry: "What's going on?" How could you make such a mistake? As soon as Huang Jie wanted to explain, he left, and Huang Jie could only stay as a "housekeeper".
When *** came to ***'s house with the information, ** explained: "You misunderstood that comrade!" My family came to Shanghai from the countryside and brought me an old hen.
I was afraid that it would run around, so I tied it up with a red rope from the window. Later, I couldn't wait for the traffic officer, only to find out that the red rope had fallen ......At this time, ** remembered that Huang Jie wanted to explain to him before, but he was angry at the time, so he didn't listen.
Later, *** always wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to Huang Jie, but because he was too busy and didn't have the opportunity, he didn't apologize to the other party until many years later. Although this incident happened, it did not affect the friendship between Huang Jie and ***.
After all, as the saying goes: "Misunderstanding is misunderstanding, comrade is comrade!" ”
The 1967 Army Day was a major day marking the 40th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army of China. On this day, the prime minister made a special call to ***, hoping that he would tell *** to prepare to attend the upcoming celebration reception.
After receiving the Prime Minister's request, the General immediately rushed to General ***'s residence and conveyed the Prime Minister's instructions to him. ** After hearing this, the general said that he would be ready to attend the reception in accordance with the instructions of the Prime Minister, and he was very much looking forward to having an in-depth exchange with the chairman.
Not long after, the Prime Minister called again and told General that the Chairman had decided to let him attend today's reception, and had specifically designated General General to attend as well.
In order to ensure the safety of General ***, the Prime Minister also personally arranged his driving route and strengthened security measures along the route. In the following days, General ** received ***'s help many times, and he also actively supported ***'s work.
The two of them help each other and work together to build a better country.
