weeks Prime Minister fell off his horse
weeks Prime Minister was hit by a horse during Yan'an period, and there have been multiple versions.
A few years ago, when I was looking up the information, someone said that the reason why Premier Zhou was injured was because in order to avoid the crops of farmers in northern Shaanxi, Premier Zhou could only tighten the reins on the spot and let the horse stop, which caused a fracture of his right arm.
Later I found out that these are nonsense.
When reading the book materials yesterday, I accidentally saw an article about Premier Zhou’s personal protection adjutant Jiang Zemin written a complete memoir about Premier Zhou’s injury when he fell off a horse, and finally got to know the story of that year.
1940, May.
Central Organization Department held a cadre meeting in Yan'an Auditorium , and specially invited Premier Zhou to give a report. Jiang Zemin drew two guards and formed a three-person guard group , accompanying Premier Zhou from Yangjialing to the Central Party School.
What Jiang Zemin didn't expect was that Premier Zhou was just about to start the lecture when he suddenly saw a familiar figure. He saw Comrade Qing walk into the auditorium calmly and sit down in the front row.
At that time, he was thinking in his heart, why did she come?
At that time, classmate Qing had just come to Yan'an from Shanghai. During his study at the Central Party School, he often went to Yangjialing to find Chairman Mao. Her studious and progress also attracted Chairman Mao's chairman, and soon became Chairman Mao's life secretary.
The year when Premier Zhou went to the Central Party School to give a lecture, she was already Chairman Mao’s life secretary.
Cadre Conference lasted for nearly three hours. After the lecture was completed, Premier Zhou and Comrade Qing were preparing to return to Yangjialing together.
The Central Party School is very far from Yangjialing, and they are all mountain roads.
comes out of the Party School auditorium, and there is a hillside of fifty meters. In order to ensure the safety of Premier Zhou, Adjutant Jiang Zemin, a guard was in front, Premier Zhou was second, followed by a guard, followed by Comrade Qing, and the deputy Jiang Zemin, who was in charge of the palace behind the palace.
Moreover, the organization also has a regulation: when riding a horse and walking with the leader, you must follow the smooth flow. No one can cross the line without authorization, let alone run a horse.
Because running on a mountain road is a taboo.
However, in Comrade Qing's eyes, this sentence was just a wind in his ears, and an accident happened.
That day, everyone had just walked down the downhill of fifty meters and then advanced fifty meters. Student Qing felt that the horse was too slow, so he lifted the reins hard, waved the whip, galloped forward, and ran forward.
The mysterious operation of Comrade Qing scared Premier Zhou to pull the rope and dodge to the right. The horse instantly raised its front hooves and threw Premier Zhou down.
Fortunately, Premier Zhou has been riding a horse for many years and knows how to protect himself. At the moment of falling off the horse, he used his right hand to protect his head, but his elbow hit the ground hard, and his fractured and misaligned on the spot.
Jiang Zemin and the two guards hurried down and rushed to Premier Zhou. Premier Zhou seemed to faint. After pausing for a while, sweat beads on his forehead kept rolling down, and then he said faintly.
"Arm hurts".
Jiang Zemin immediately looked down at Premier Zhou’s right arm, and saw blood on the joints and still dripping blood. Comrade Qing, who had already rushed out more than 100 meters, also knew something was wrong. He slowly got off the horse and turned back. He also asked in surprise:
"What's wrong, Vice Chairman Zhou's arm is broken?"
Jiang Zemin and the two guards felt disgusted and bowed their heads without saying a word.
They helped Premier Zhou briefly bandage him and helped him on the horse. Jiang Zemin protected Enlai, one guard held the leash in front and the other guard held the horse in the back. Comrade Qing is very tactful. She also knows the big trouble and follows her with a horse, and she never dares to speak again.
After returning to Yangjialing, Jiang Zemin hurriedly found Fu Lianzhang.
Fu Lianzhang once followed our army to participate in Long March . After the Long March, the Central Hospital was established in Yan'an and was affectionately called "Red Huatuo" by the Red Army soldiers. Fu Lianzhang quickly helped Premier Zhou to carry out in-depth cleaning and rebandage to avoid wound infection.

Chairman Mao was angry
The news that the Prime Minister was injured in the week also reached Chairman Mao’s ears. He hurried from his cave and asked in front of everyone:
"Where did Vice Chairman Zhou break? How did he get hurt? Why did he fall?" Jiang Zemin, deputy officer of
replied: "Vice Chairman Zhou's right elbow joint was broken."
Chairman Mao looked puzzled, why did he fall?
No one spoke for a while, and Chairman Mao asked loudly: "How did you fall?"
Jiang Zemin knew that he could not hide it, so he told Chairman Mao all the reasons for the matter.
Chairman Mao was so angry that he cursed:
"Who asked her to go? She rode around on a horse all day, which was too unreasonable."
Jiang Zemin noticed that Chairman Mao's lips were trembling and panting at that time. He had never seen Chairman Mao so angry.
The next day, Chairman Mao talked to Premier Zhou.
"Enlai, you go to the Soviet Union to receive the best treatment."
Premier Zhou frowned: "Chairman, the task is heavy now, I can't go!"
In the end, Chairman Mao persuaded Premier Zhou, and the Soviet Union sent a special plane to pick up Premier Zhou and successfully completed the treatment.
