Recently, I studied the history of the party and read several articles about the Nanchang Uprising on the We Media. Coincidentally, the article mentioned the leaders of the Nanchang Uprising, saying that among the ten marshals, 6 people participated in the Nanchang Uprising. He also said that Chen Yi participated in leading the Nanchang Uprising, and at that time was the representative of the 73rd Regiment Party of the 25th Division of the 11th Army.
I searched on the Internet, and under the entry of "Chen Yi", there is also such a statement. However, this is inconsistent with historical facts.
Marshal Chen Yi
Chen Yi did receive an order to rush to Nanchang, but he did not know that the Nanchang Uprising was going to be held. He had just boarded the boat to Nanchang, and the uprising had already broken out. And he did not arrive in Nanchang until August 6.
Moreover, after entering Nanchang City, I did not dare to wait even an hour, so I hurriedly withdrew, because Nanchang was full of white terror, and there was a danger of being arrested by the enemy at any time.
Chen Yi did indeed serve as the representative of the 73rd Youth League Party, but that was not the time of the uprising, but when the uprising troops withdrew from Nanchang, and Chen Yi accepted the appointment after catching up with the team.
Chen Yi rushed to Nanchang. He was surrounded by dangers along the way. He was in danger several times. Fortunately, he caught up with the rest of the Nanchang Uprising troops led by Zhu De. After visiting Jinggangshan, he practiced the great reunion of Jinggangshan.
So, where was Chen Yi during the Nanchang Uprising? What happened in between? Please listen and speak slowly below.
Before the Nanchang Uprising, Chen Yi served as the secret secretary of the Communist Party Committee of the Central Military and Political School in Wuhan. Wuhan Central Military and Political School, formerly known as Huangpu Military Academy. The Northern Expedition was victorious, and the Huangpu Military Academy moved to Wuhan with the Nationalist government.After
"April 12", the situation has become very tense, so the secretary Chen Yi is a secret. At that time, Wuhan was not yet divided.
General Zhang Fakui
During the preparations for the Nanchang Uprising, a policy of "returning to Guangdong according to Zhang" was implemented. This "Zhang" is Zhang Fakui, commander-in-chief of the Second Front Army of the National Revolutionary Army.
Because most of the troops controlled by the party are in the Second Front Army, it is decided that other troops that can participate in the uprising are also concentrated in the Second Front Army. Among them, the cadet brigade of the Central Military and Political School.
According to the plan, the student soldiers followed Zhang Fakui to Guangdong to establish a revolutionary base. This is the party's struggle for Zhang Fakui.
Until August 1, when the uprising broke out, this struggle was not given up. When appointing the leader of the uprising army, He Long was only acting as the commander-in-chief of the Second Front Army. The intention was to keep the position of commander-in-chief. If Zhang Fakui could stand on the side of the revolutionary team, he would be the commander-in-chief.
The order Chen Yi received at that time was "Go east to attack Jiang", and the student brigade was led by Zhang Fakui and went south together.
There were seven or eight thousand students at that time, and they seemed to be quite powerful. In fact, most of them are unarmed, and very few people have guns. Even if they do, they don't have many bullets.
There are so many students and hundreds of boats, the mighty is indeed mighty, but the river is full of boats, and you don't know who is on which boat, let alone unified command and leadership.

On the fourth day of the Nanchang Uprising, that is, on August 4, the ship arrived in Jiujiang. At this time, Chen Yi and others already knew that the Nanchang Uprising was held.Of course, Zhang Fakui knew better.
Therefore, after the ship arrived in Jiujiang, Zhang Fakui ordered that all ships were not allowed to dock, and Zhang Fakui's soldiers came on every ship to publicize the separation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, disarm all the guns in the hands of the student soldiers, and then disembark and gather together , Zhang Fakui spoke to the student soldiers in person.
Zhang Fakui did not find it difficult to be a student soldier. He announced that those who are willing to go home or join relatives and friends are free, and those who are willing to stay will follow him.
There were only more than 2,000 student soldiers left at once. The situation has taken a turn for the worse, and many people have lost their confidence.
At that time, there were more than 700 CCP members among the student soldiers. Chen Yi held an internal meeting, studied and decided that those whose identities were exposed should go home and engage in peasant movements in their hometowns; those whose identities had not been exposed, continued to stay. It is estimated that Zhang Fakui went south to Guangzhou and followed the team to Guangzhou.
Later, in the Guangzhou Uprising team, there were two or three hundred student soldiers who went to Guangzhou, and they were the backbone of the Guangzhou Uprising.
Chen Yi decided to hide in the spy company. It is relatively safe here for the time being, because the company commander Xiao Jin is also a member of the Communist Party. Although the following platoon leaders are not members of the Communist Party, they sympathize with the CCP.
General Ye Ting
However, the situation became more and more tense, and the danger was approaching. Chen Yi decided to go to Nanchang to find Ye Tinghelong. In this way, he and Xiao Jin set out overnight with some student soldiers, and walked eastward from Jiujiang, walking thirty or forty miles in one night. On the way to
, they encountered frequent investigations by the militia groups. At first, Chen Yi and the others said that they were soldiers, and they quit when they returned home. These regiments practiced the militia regiments, and they were very careful about those who were soldiers. Chen Yi and the others were detained twice by the militia, and almost all the money was searched.After
came out, they quickly bought the clothes of ordinary people with the money they had, and pretended to be ordinary people, which was much safer. On August 6, Chen Yi and his party finally arrived in Nanchang.
entered Nanchang City, the streets were full of Zhang Fakui's soldiers, and the search was even tighter. Ye Ting, He Long and the others had been out of Nanchang for three days. Several of the originally scheduled joint locations were damaged, and they were in extreme danger.
Chen Yi made a decisive decision and went out of the city to catch up with the uprising troops. However, they didn't know where Ye Ting, He Long and the others went, so they chatted with people and spying on news along the way. However, this did not attract the attention of others at the time, because people were talking about Ye Ting He Long and Zhang Fakui everywhere.
Later, they met Cai Tingkai's 10th division on the road. Cai Tingkai also participated in the uprising at first, but this time it was the other way around. At that time, Cai Tingkai did not arrest the Communist Party members of the 10th Division, but drove them out.
General Cai Tingkai
These people also followed Chen Yi and finally caught up with the uprising team in Linchuan, met Zhou Enlai and Liu Bocheng, and reported to them the situation of the military academy students and soldiers.
Zhou Enlai was very happy to meet Chen Yi, and immediately gave him a task to lead a local green forest team. There are more than 500 people in this Green Forest team, and they are willing to accept the adaptation of the insurgent army, provided they are given 200 guns.
At that time, Zhu Peide's troops were chasing after the uprising team. Zhou Enlai and others also agreed to the request of Deng Kezhong, the leader of the Green Forest Armed Forces. If this team surrendered, it could also play a role in containing Zhu Peide and delay their pursuit.
After Chen Yi and Xiao Jin accepted the assignment, they followed the liaison of the Green Forest Armed Forces.As a result, the liaison officer went for a long time and did not come back, and Zhu Peide's team collapsed. People were being arrested everywhere, and Chen Yi and Xiao Jin didn't dare to wait any longer, so they had to leave Linchuan quickly and chase the uprising team again.
The liaison did not lie to Chen Yi and Xiao Jin. When he contacted Deng Kezhong, the Green Forest Armed Forces encountered Zhu Peide's troops. There was a fierce battle between the two sides, and he ran away in fear. This Green Forest Armed Forces was finally eliminated due to lack of correct leadership.
Zhu Peide
Chen Yi caught up with the team again in Yihuang. This time, Chen Yi was assigned to the 73rd regiment as a political instructor. The uprising team went south to Guangdong, was surrounded by the enemy in Chaoshan, and the team was scattered.
Remaining in the rest of Sanheba, led by Zhu De and Chen Yi, they moved to the border of Jiangxi, Guangdong and Hunan. They were constantly ambushed by militia groups.
After the troops came to Dayu, Zhu De decided to rectify, re-register the party members, and set up a party branch. Zhu De said that those who are unwilling to continue to struggle can go, but they decide to fight to the end. Chen Yi and Wang Erzhuo fully supported Zhu De.
After rectification, there are only more than 800 troops left, but they are more capable and more effective.
Later, this team once hid in the team of Zhu De's old classmate Fan Shisheng, commander of the 16th Army. Later, he left the 16th Army, led the uprising in southern Hunan, and finally went to Jinggang Mountain to achieve a great reunion.
From the above historical facts, it can be seen that Chen Yi did not catch up with the Nanchang Uprising, and it is even less possible to participate in leading the Nanchang Uprising. However, Chen Yi played an irreplaceable role in the persistent struggle led by Zhu De for the rest of the uprising.After Dayu's rectification, Chen Yi served as a political instructor and later became one of the early three giants in Jinggangshan.
What do you think of Chen Yi's revolutionary history?
