"Report"
"Come in"
In August 1949, within the Pingjiang County Government of Hunan Province, the county party secretary of Pingjiang County, Hunan, who was working hard to handle official duties was suspended by a "report".
"Secretary Qi, there is a female beggar at the door who wants to find you." The doorman reported this special situation.
beggar? Qi Shouliang Quickly search in my mind for the people I had contacted with. No one is a beggar, and he is still a woman.
Figure 1
"Go, go and take a look"? Qi Shouliang quickly got up and walked towards the gate, and the guard followed closely behind.
As soon as Qi Shouliang stepped out of the door, the female beggar stared at him and asked, "Are you the county party secretary?"
Qi Shouliang confirmed his conjecture. He didn't know the woman in front of him at all, but said in a very question: "I am, is there anything you need to ask me?"
After confirming the identity of the person in front of him, the female beggar quickly took out a package from her pocket...
The guy who was eating became a powerful weapon
The dirty hands of the female beggar formed a strong contrast with the white package in her hand. It can be seen that she usually treats this package carefully, which shows that she cherishes it very much. After the white cloth was lifted up, the gold inside gradually showed Qi Shouliang. Qi Shouliang was shocked, Why would a woman in ragged clothes take out gold, and it was a full pound of gold. If the woman is not short of money, why would she dress up like a beggar? If the woman is not rich, then so much money is enough for her to buy decent clothes to solve her food and clothing, how could she still show her appearance in front of her?
"This is what I want to hand over to the secretary." The female beggar took the gold in front of Qi Shouliang with both hands, waiting for him to take the money.
Figure 2
Qi Shouliang waved his hand quickly and said, "I can't ask for this."
female beggar continued: "This is the funding for the party's activities, the money of the country, and it can be requested."
Party activities funds? Qi Shouliang was a little confused and could only ask carefully about the source of the money.
"This is what I discovered when I was cleaning up the relics of my husband Tu Zhengkun. The conditions were limited at that time and the organization was not found, so I was sent here now." When my husband's name was mentioned, tears instantly burst into tears in my eyes.
"Are you the widow of Comrade Tu Zhengkun?" Qi Shouliang unconsciously raised his tone in surprise.
Zhu Yinmei nodded gently.
Figure 3
mentions Comrade Tu Zhengkun who has already died. Qi Shouliang is full of admiration and respect. His deeds are still encouraging even after many years.
897, Tu Zhengkun (formerly known as Tu Zhengsheng ) was born in an ordinary family in Pingjiang County, Hunan Province. His father was a sewing worker. Tu Zhengkun did not finish school like other children. After four years of study, he dropped out of school to learn sewing with his father, and became a famous tailor in the surrounding area.
is affected by the current situation and cannot stand the life of the people being oppressed everywhere. Tu Zhengkun is determined to embark on the road of revolution.
Figure 4
1925, with the cover of the identity of a tailor, Tu Zhengkun mobilized paper workers and farmers everywhere, and actively fought against the gentry who would only exploit the people in the local area. and officially joined the Communist Party through introduction.
At this time, as a patriotic young man, he was passionate and always connected with the people.
In September 1927, Tu Zhengkun led his army to participate in the Autumn Harvest Uprising led by Chairman Mao. Although the rebel army was frustrated, his outstanding performance in the uprising impressed the organization.
In February 1928, Tu Zhengkun was appointed as the secretary of the Fourth District Committee of the Communist Party of China and the representative of the guerrilla party of the guerrillas with his mature guerrilla tactics and outstanding performance in the organization.
Figure 5
928 On July 22, 1928, under the command of the Communist Party of China, Peng Dehuai, Teng Daiyuan and others led the 1st Regiment of the Independent 5th Division to hold an uprising in Pingjiang County. Tu Zhengkun received an order to lead the guerrillas to respond. Northern Expedition Army was able to successfully capture Pingjiang County thanks to Tu Zhengkun's accurate information obtained in the early stage of detectives. Tu Zhengkun, who was receiving the task, just rushed to the Zhangji sewing clothes shop in the county town, and then followed the orderly officer to the mansion of Lu Jiang, the deputy officer of the Beiyang Army, to tailor clothes for the officers.
Tu Zhengkun kept chatting with Lu Jiang in order to find out more information. But before he could talk a few times, Lu Jiang received the order to leave in a hurry.
Figure 6
Tu Zhengkun realized that it was related to the war. He had an idea and found an excuse to find Lu Jiang's place. Sure enough, under the leadership of the orderly force, he came to the gate of the headquarters.
Tu Zhengkun waited for an opportunity to quickly scan the terrain of the headquarters. He squatted at the door and successfully heard the military arrangements Lu Jiang said in the room. Just as he continued to listen, an unexpected accident happened suddenly.
County Governor Luo Youduo walked in through the front door at this time. Tu Zhengkun thought to himself: It's broken, I'm afraid it's going to be exposed, but he still looked at Luo Youduo walking towards him without changing his face.
"You, you are the Red Bandit" Luo Youduo pointed at Tu Zhengkun in exclamation, and his voice successfully caused a sensation in the headquarters.
The CCP armed forces were defiled by the Kuomintang at that time and were called "Red Bandits". Luo Youduo also recorded his face because of Tu Zhengkun's previous struggle with the gentry, thus recognizing his identity.
Figure 7
At the critical moment, Tu Zhengkun smiled and denied, "Mr. County, you have recognized the wrong person. I am just a tailor. If you don't believe it, ask the orderly soldier next to you, or the officer's wife sent him to me."
Lu Jiang, who walked out of the house, immediately denied Tu Zhengkun's identity as the Communist Party, and the matter was concealed.
Tu Zhengkun immediately left overnight after returning and shared the information he had inquired with the Northern Expedition Army Advance Corps.
In September 1931, Tu Zhengkun attended the first Workers' and Peasants' Congress after the establishment of the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi Base Area. At the conference, he was elected as the executive member, standing member and minister of finance of the Soviet Government of Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi Province, which is well deserved.
good example of the organization, but unfortunately died in the tragedy
Tu Zhengkun, no matter how his identity changed within the party, insisted on doing his part, treating his comrades as relatives, and not giving up the life of any comrades easily.
organization is often on a state of alert because danger may come from any time, and Red Army often faces the problem of breaking out of the siege under the siege of enemy troops.
once, after fighting fire with the enemy, only more than 20 Red Army soldiers in a team broke through the siege after all difficulties. Although he temporarily got rid of the enemy, he was already scarred and could only drag his wounded body with difficulty to temporarily hide in the moonlight cliff of Lianyun Mountain Stove Gate Cave.
Figure 8
After hearing that the soldiers of the Red Army had escaped from the siege, the Soviet government hurriedly arranged personnel to send first aid medicine to the injured. , no one who sent to Duobo to deliver medicine could break through the enemy's blockade line.
At this time, several excessively injured Red Army soldiers were hiding in the Moonlight Cliff of the Sauce Gate Cave in Lianyunshan. The Provincial Soviet Government was racing against time.
In the midst of suffering, Tu Zhengkun stepped forward, brought medicine and ran forward. After walking to the woods on the mountain, Tu Zhengkun suddenly realized that his movements had been targeted by the enemy. He heard the sound of gunfire in his ears, and he accelerated through the forests.
Facing the chasing enemy, Tu Zhengkun was quick to learn and took a dangerous road to avoid the enemy. There was a cliff ahead and an enemy army behind. He gritted his teeth and jumped down from the cliff. However, he did not sacrifice, but used vines to hang on the cliff.
When Tu Zhengkun heard the enemy heading towards the Moonlight Cliff, he climbed the vines to chase after him desperately and rushed to the Moonlight Cliff before the enemy.
Figure 9
When Tu Zhengkun appeared in front of the wounded, the wounded cried bitterly, but he didn't expect the organization to have never given up on them. They almost thought they would die like this.
Under Tu Zhengkun's command, the wounded quickly moved to the back mountain, getting rid of the enemy's pursuit, and the wounded were also treated.
It was not only Tu Zhengkun himself who moved the masses and organizations. Under Tu Zhengkun's infection, his family also made great contributions to the revolutionary cause, which made people cry.
After the Autumn Harvest Uprising, because the enemy could not catch Tu Zhengkun, he thought of a secret move and tricked Tu's mother to Lianyunshan . While Tu's mother was not paying attention, she tied her to a tree to force Tu Zhengkun to appear.
After hearing the news, the guerrillas led by Tu Zhengkun were very angry and immediately grabbed the weapon and wanted to rescue him, but Tu Zhengkun stopped him.
Figure 10
How could Tu Zhengkun not know what "wishful plan" the enemy was fighting, but he couldn't put the entire team in danger. With the call from , he ordered the entire team to stand on time.
When he heard that Tu's mother was about to be killed, Tu Zhengkun held back his tears and transferred the guerrillas as planned. The guerrillas were safe and sound, but his mother was no longer there. The cruel enemy even set fire to the mountain, with the purpose of making Tu Zhengkun unable to bury his mother's body, and his heart was punished.
Not only Tu Zhengkun's mother, but even his father was caught by the enemy after participating in the revolution, and he was nailed to the door and swallowed his last breath.
In order to support the revolutionary cause of her husband and son, Tu's mother repeatedly conveyed the organization's messages with the risk of exposure, just so that the organization can obtain important information as soon as possible.
The hero passed away, and the spirit continued
The Communist Party was determined to eliminate foreign enemies, but the Kuomintang always used its small abacus and in turn harmed the Communist Party that helped it.
In February 1937, Tu Zhengkun, then secretary of the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, decided to negotiate with the local Kuomintang authorities for the overall situation, hoping that they could stop the civil war, and make anti-Japanese a top priority, and also ask the central government for instructions on the matters of peace talks. , however, the Kuomintang local authorities were "unrighteous" from the very beginning.
started first, and the Kuomintang tried to persuade other comrades in the organization to turn to Chiang Kai-shek . Leaders such as Tu Zhengkun gave a harsh warning about their behavior.
The Kuomintang was unwilling to give up at all. It grasped the Communist Party's desire for peace talks and repeatedly touched the bottom line.
On July 18, 1937, the peace talks officially began. Tu Zhengkun, then chairman of the Communist Party of China, Fu Qiutao, and other leaders in charge of Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi attended the peace talks. Only the commander of the Fifth Division, Yue Sen, and other leaders in charge of Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi attended the peace talks.
Figure 11
Yue Sen not only took the lead, but also took key issues such as releasing the Red Army guerrillas. He thought about how to annihilate all the Red Army forces at that time. Fortunately, Tu Zhengkun and Fu Qiutao reacted quickly and did not fall into the trap.
After rigorous and intense negotiations, the two sides finally agreed on a solution. Afterwards, the negotiations on Wuhan Camp also began to show results, and the general situation tended to be favorable. After the united front was formed by
, Tu Zhengkun stood firm in the rear and provided good guarantees for the front line. He used all the funds he raised to support, but he ate himself, saving as much as possible, and adhering to the organization's fine style. Tu Zhengkun, who worked hard to fight against Japan on the 4th day and night, did not know that he had become the target of persecution of the Kuomintang.
On May 10, 1939, a secret order from the Kuomintang was sent to the commander-in-chief of the Seventh War Zone in Changsha Xue Yue . At this time, the Kuomintang began to shake its cooperation again, and comrades such as Tu Zhengkun and Huang Yaonan who had outstanding leadership in guerrilla warfare and became the primary goal.
Figure 12
Immediately afterwards, the Kuomintang conspired to the inhumane "Pingjiang Massacre".
On June 12, 1939, the New Fourth Army's Communications Office in Pingjiang was instantly surrounded by the Kuomintang, and then sent scouts to lead Tu Zhengkun alone into the encirclement that had been ambushed for a long time. The strafing sound of the machine gun instantly resounded throughout the alley.
Tu Zhengkun, who noticed the enemy's conspiracy, could no longer escape. He was shot several times and was desperately conveying the news of his evacuation to the communications office at the last moment. However, he used all his strength and failed to stop the Kuomintang from attacking the Communications Department, and many outstanding comrades from the Party died. After the "Pingjiang Massacre", people mourned comrades such as Tu Zhengkun and Wu Yuan who died unfortunately.
On August 1, 1939, the memorial service for the martyrs who died in the "Pingjiang Massacre" was held in Yan'an . Chairman Mao and other important party leaders appeared at the memorial service, and Chairman Mao also delivered a famous speech - "The Reactionaries Must Be Suffer."
Figure 13
After Tu Zhengkun was killed, his youngest son Tu Mingtao was controlled by the Kuomintang at home. His wife Zhu Yinmei was heartbroken when she saw this scene. Thanks to her neighbor's urgent wisdom, she said Tu Mingtao was his own child, and she escaped the murder of the Kuomintang.
Zhu Yinmei never dared to go home because of the incident and wandered around with her children, but she knew that the first thing was to hand over some of the fiat currency that her husband had given to her during her lifetime to Huang Yaonan, director of the Pingjiang Left Resident Department of the New Fourth Army.
These fiat currencies are the wages of many Red Army soldiers who have already died. Zhu Yinmei dared not delay. She dared not show up at will now, for fear of causing trouble to other Red Army families. She could only try her best to send these fiat currencies back to the organization and handed over to Huang Yaonan on behalf of him. After
, Zhu Yinmei accidentally discovered that there was a kilogram of gold while sorting out Tu Zhengkun's relics. Zhu Yinmei knew very well that these golds must be the organization's funding, and she could not contact the organization at all according to the situation at this time, so she had to keep it for the first time.
Figure 14
During the period, Zhu Yinmei and her son lived in seclusion in the mountains for ten years. Sleeping in the wind and eating in the open is their normal state, and starving and freezing is their normal state. They rely on the only food on the mountain to survive day after day.
After the founding of New China, Zhu Yinmei finally ended her life hiding from the east and west. Return to the streets that have been away from for many years and feel the traffic. Even so, she still inquired about the government's location from multiple sources and wanted to return the organizational funds for that year.
Pingjiang County Party Secretary Qi Shouliang was deeply touched by Zhu Yinmei's move. As families of the Red Army, they have always worked hard with the Red Army...
Conclusion
To this day, 83 years have passed. Even if time passes, the historical traces of time will only become deeper and deeper, so that the masses will always remember the hard years the Communist Party has gone through and every martyr who has sacrificed for it. The martyrs' survivors deserve better care.
