We are very grateful for your support! In 1995, the eldest son Liu Taihang held a special banquet in the Great Hall of the People, inviting two recent college graduates and their families.
It stands to reason that the identity of the guest who can make Liu Taihang attach so much importance should be very prominent, but in fact, the identities of these two distinguished guests are only students who have just graduated from college.
So, why do these two college students make Liu Taixing pay so much attention? This is going to start with ***'s last wish.
In 1993, when Li Tieying was reading the newspaper, he accidentally found a news about "Xiao Yedan's descendants". His heart was deeply attracted by this news, because he knew that this "Xiao Ye Dan" was the person who formed an alliance with Marshal *** "Yi Hai".
The report mentioned that the boy, Shen Jianguo, was facing the dilemma of not being able to go to school due to his family's financial difficulties. Li Tieying immediately sent someone to Mianning to verify the news, and a few days later, he got the news that the situation was completely true.
He immediately decided to take Shen Jianguo to Beijing to study, in order to help this potential child, and also to inherit and carry forward the spirit of the Yihai alliance.
Li Tieying and Shen Jianguo don't know each other, why does he take good care of Shen Jianguo? The truth is that Li Tieying's move is completely out of the fulfillment of ***'s last wish. According to historical records, when the alliance with Xiao Yedan, the leader of the Yi nationality, was formed, if the alliance with Xiao Yedan was delayed for three days, or the alliance failed, the Kuomintang would send heavy troops to the Dadu River, and we might follow in the footsteps of Shi Dakai.
**When he was alive, he often mentioned Xiao Ye Dan, which shows the deep friendship between him and Xiao Ye Dan. On October 7, 1986, ** died, and he had a wish that could not be fulfilled before his death, that is, to find the whereabouts of Xiao Yedan.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, ** was unable to move because of his advanced age, so he asked his sons to go to the Daliang Mountain area many times to find traces of Xiao Yedan. Although his sons traveled all over Daliang Mountain, they didn't find any news about Xiao Yedan.
In the end, this incident became the most difficult regret in ***'s life.
So, what kind of deep friendship exists between ** and "Xiao Ye Dan"? To answer this question, we need to go back to the story of the "Yihai Alliance" that took place in May 1935.
At that time, the ** Red Army, because the main force of the Kuomintang army on the south bank of the Jinsha River was "chasing and suppressing", had to cross the Dadu River as soon as possible to break through the encirclement. However, the location of the Red Army is only separated by a mountain from the Dadu River, and this mountain is Liangshan.
* The Red Army was faced with two options: to take the road to the east, starting from Xichang, and reach Ya'an in a few days, but this road was heavily defended by Chiang Kai-shek and could not be passed; Or choose another path, which is full of unknowns and dangers, but the only option for the ** Red Army.
New Copywriting: In front of ***, he must be"East, West"to make a decision. If you choose to go west, you have to pass through the area of activity of the Yi people, but the Yi people at that time were very xenophobic.
Shi Dakai once tried this path, but the result was that the whole army was wiped out, and he became a prisoner of the Qing court. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek pressed all his 100,000 troops to the east, and for ***, to the east, he would face Chiang Kai-shek's 100,000 army, and to the west, there was a lesson from Shi Dakai's previous experience.
This decision is undoubtedly a huge challenge for ***.
** Skillfully use tactics to develop a strategy for the deployment of enemy forces and the current situation of our army. He suggested that the Red Army adopt the tactic of marching mainly on the western route, supplemented by luring the enemy on the eastern route, and marching eastward with a small number of troops to confuse the enemy's main force, while the main force marched westward, passing through Mianning to Anshunchang and crossing the Dadu River.
Soon after, his proposal was approved by the ** Military Commission. ** Then a mobilization meeting was held in the advance team, warning the Red Army soldiers that after entering the Yi inhabited area, no matter what the situation, they should not shoot.
He explained that because the Yi people had been oppressed by the reactionaries for a long time, they did not understand the language of the Han Chinese, so there was a gap between them. But they are not enemies of the Kuomintang, and we must not fight back, but should strive for a peaceful passage through the Yi area.
On May 22, when the advance party of the Red Army entered the area of activity of the Yi people, the expected "accident" occurred. They were surrounded by several Yi tribes who were fighting with weapons, and these Yi people, unable to understand the words of the warriors, looked at the Red Army with wariness.
Some Yi even forced the fighters to take off their uniforms, so much so that some had to return to their base camp naked. **After learning of the experience of the advance team, he immediately ordered his soldiers to intensify propaganda work in order to intensify the propaganda of our party's policies in the Yi nationality area.
At the same time, he also took the initiative to send a signal of peace to the outside world, hoping to establish friendly relations with the local Yi tribal leaders.
In this area, the Yi nationality is mainly divided into three branches: Luohong, Kewu, and Guoji. According to the information available to the Red Army, the Guoji was the most powerful, with a large number of people and a wider sphere of influence than the other two branches.
The leader of the Guoji tribe is named "Yoda", and his name in the Yi language is "Yedan". And coincidentally, there is also a place in this area called "Ye Dan".
In order to distinguish the name from the region, he added the word "small" to the front of his name, so the locals used to call him "Xiao Yedan". It is said that Xiao Yedan is the fourth in the family, he has a stubborn personality since he was a child, but he is bold and good at words, and he is a very prestigious figure in the local area.
In addition, he is also one of the few people in the area who can understand some Chinese. When the Red Army "broke into" his house, he did not take the means of stealing and killing, but distributed money and grain to the local Yi people, which made him feel very surprised, so he had the desire to meet the commander of the Red Army.
With joint efforts, Xiao Yedan finally got his wish to meet *** When he met, Xiao Yedan wanted to kowtow and kneel, but *** immediately helped him up and said: "We Communists advocate equality, and the Kuomintang requires you Yi people to kneel when you see your superiors, and we Communists are not like this." ”
** He also explained that the people who exploited and oppressed you in the first place are also enemies of the Communist Party, and that the Communist Party and the Yi people have the same goal, which is to oppose exploitation and let the people be the masters of their own affairs.
**'s words deeply touched Xiao Ye Dan, and he immediately said that he wanted to worship *** as brothers, ** readily agreed.
New copywriting: On the shore of the Yi Sea, a solemn worship ceremony is underway. **Under the attention of Xiao Yedan, drink a cup of chicken blood wine, swear with blood, and marry the righteousness of Jinlan.
Subsequently, Xiao Yedan sent his confidant Sha Ma Ma Hai to lead a Yi armed force to escort the Red Army north. He feared that other Yi tribes might attack the Red Army. However, the Red Army did not commit any crime all the way, and also rescued the Yi people who were imprisoned by the Kuomintang reactionaries, and won the friendly attitude of the Yi tribes along the way.
Under the escort of Shama Mahai, the Red Army successfully walked out of the Baili Yi area, gaining valuable time for subsequent military operations. In order to express his gratitude to Xiao Yedan, **on behalf of the **Red Army**, he was given ammunition**, and he was awarded the flag of "Guoji Detachment of the Chinese Yimin Red Army", and he was appointed as the detachment leader of the detachment.
** Once promised Xiao Yedan that after he completed his revolutionary cause, he would definitely return to Liangshan and Mianning to visit him. However, what he didn't expect was that after that separation, they would never see each other again.
When the People's Liberation Army attacked the southwest, ** asked Liang Wenying to go to the Yi ethnic settlement to find Xiao Yedan, but there was no result. In the end, Liang Wenying only learned the news that Xiao Yedan had passed away from the mouths of local residents.
In fact, what I didn't know was that Xiao Yedan was targeted by the Kuomintang reactionaries after helping the Red Army cross the Baili Yi area.
In 1941, the reactionary warlord Deng Xiuting took away a Red Army commissar from Xiao Yedan's home. In order to save the political commissar of the Red Army, Xiao Yedan paid more than 1,500 taels of silver.
Although this incident was successfully resolved, Deng Xiuting has since regarded Xiao Yedan as a target who can be defrauded of money. In the days that followed, Deng Xiuting continued to loot Xiao Yedan's property through various despicable means.
However, even if he tried to snatch the property from Xiao Ye Dan, Xiao Ye Dan always cherished the flag of the "Guoji Detachment of the Chinese Yi People's Red Army" that year.
Moreover, he has always remembered what *** once said: "One finger is weak, and ten fingers are pinched together to make it powerful." Although Xiao Yedan and *** have only known each other for a short time, he is full of trust in ***.
In 1942, in the face of the severe situation of struggle, Xiao Yedan handed over the flag symbolizing the Guoji detachment of the Yi People's Red Army to his wife, and asked her to keep it, looking forward to handing it back to the team in the future.
But in June of the same year, Xiao Yedan died in a weapon fight provoked by a reactionary warlord at the age of 48. Since then, his wife and children have begun to live incognito, and they have never been able to find news of Xiao Yedan's descendants.
Before dying, ** could not forget this wish, and entrusted it to future generations to complete.
In 1993, **'s son Liu Taixing was overjoyed when he learned the news of Xiao Yedan's descendants. In that year, because of ***'s funding, Xiao Yedan's grandson Shen Jianguo was able to enter ** Minzu University to study, and his great-great-grandson also received *** special care and became a student of Chinese People's University.
Two years later, **'s two sons, Liu Taihang and Liu Meng, set up three sumptuous banquets in the Great Hall of the People at their own expense, and held a grand "thank you banquet" for Xiao Yedan's descendants.
They were convinced that it was Xiao Yedan's strong support that the Red Army was able to successfully pass through the Yi area, successfully complete the task of forcibly crossing the Dadu River, and completely smash Chiang Kai-shek's conspiracy.
A cheerful banquet was slowly unfolding, three rounds of fine wine, five delicacies, Liu Taihang and Liu Meng began to care about the work of Shen Jianguo and his cousin. Liu told Shen Jianguo that he was willing to lend a helping hand if they wanted to stay and work in Beijing after graduation.
However, Shen Jianguo and his cousin plan to return to their hometown because they have a common goal: to build a better Mianning with their own hands after they succeed in their studies.
As Liu Taihang said, "every time I go to Daliangshan, it is like going home", and we also believe that the friendship and spirit of the "Yihai Alliance" will always be passed on.
