In the summer of 1950, in a village embracing mountains in Xiushan Autonomous County, Guizhou Province, local villagers were working hard in the fields.
Since Guizhou has just been liberated from the Kuomintang, facing Guizhou, which is in decay, the local people have great enthusiasm and enthusiasm to resume agricultural production.
At this time, several PLAs suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village. He found a fellow villager and asked, "Young man, is there a gentleman named Ou Baichuan in our village?"
Ou Baichuan's former residence
After hearing this, the young man nodded, pointed to the direction of the village and said, "Yes, yes! He lives in the village. What are you looking for him?"
"It's nothing, our leader asked us to invite him out of the mountain. Thank you!" Then several PLAs walked straight towards Ou Baichuan's house.
After the People's Liberation Army left, the young man couldn't help but feel doubtful: This Ou Baichuan is usually an old man who farms. Why did the PLA suddenly look for Ou Baichuan?
Guizhou
Although young people are confused, since Ou Baichuan usually lives in a quiet place and is mysterious and rarely interacts with outsiders, he is also unclear.
The young man did not expect that Ou Baichuan had disappeared from the village since this day, and no one knew where he had gone. It was not until three years later that he learned a shocking news: Ou Baichuan actually became the vice governor of Guizhou Province!
This news caused a sensation in the village! Everyone is curious about the fact that Ou Baichuan is the governor of and ! So what is the origin of this Ou Baichuan? Why does such a talented person live in seclusion in the village? Why can he become the governor of Guizhou Province?
Ou Baichuan
The young genius of the Miao family
Ou Baichuan was born in 1894. His hometown is in Liubu Village, Songtao Autonomous County, Guizhou Province. His original name was Ou Tingfang and his other name was Xuehai. Ou Baichuan’s word “sea of learning” can well summarize his life.
The Ou family is considered a famous family in the local area. His father is a landlord and his family is quite rich. Under the influence of his father, Ou Baichuan was sent to a private school to study.
In a private school, Ou Baichuan's learning talent was quickly revealed. He had a great memory, was knowledgeable and learned from others.
Old society private school
Once, the teacher came out with a couplet, the first couplet was " Laer Mountain hidden in ". This couplet exam caused many students to be killed, and no one could pile up the second couplet. As a result, Ou Baichuan, who had just entered the school and was not even ten years old, responded directly: "A dragon lying in the Suma River!"
Mr. was shocked after hearing this. Unexpectedly, there was such a smart little genius, so he accepted him as a closed disciple and focused on training.
At the teacher, Ou Baichuan reads a lot of books, from the Four Books and Five Classics to the classics, history, and collections of classics, history, and literature. Ou Baichuan can keep all kinds of miscellaneous stories and anecdotes in mind, and he has also become a famous local child prodigy with his super memory.
Private School
1912, Ou Baichuan successfully got admitted to Guiyang Normal Middle School, which caused a sensation in the local area. For a long time, there has never been a talent in the Miao Autonomous County to be admitted to the middle school, Ou Baichuan is the first! After four years of hard study, Ou Baichuan decided to return to his hometown to teach.
When he was a rural teacher, he was a happy time for Ou Baichuan. He liked the profession of teachers very much and cultivated many talents. Although he was from a prominent family, he used his hard work to the local poor families. From the classroom to the tables, chairs and benches, he personally built it.
Because Ou Baichuan is responsible for his work and teaches seriously, he immediately became a famous local teacher. It was not until two years later that the county recommended him to go to the local police training center to learn law and police knowledge that Ou Baichuan ended his teaching career.
Ou Baichuan
In the police training center, Ou Baichuan read a large number of legal materials, police knowledge and other books. After graduation, he became the county police captain. Although he was just a small captain, Ou Baichuan treated it as an army.
Every day, he asked local police to get up and train, and also maintained folk customs and cracked down on criminals. Under his rule, Xiantao County, Guizhou became a famous model county for public security. Ou Baichuan's strict law enforcement and equal attitude have won praise from local people.
Due to Ou Baichuan's outstanding performance, he was favored by the Guizhou Army. The Guizhou Army promoted him to be the commander of the military commander, and later promoted him to the regiment commander in one breath. During his time in the Guizhou Army, he led his troops to attack bandits everywhere and maintain public order in one area. He was a rare good official in the Guizhou Army.
The police of the Republic of China
It was only in that dark era that people with righteousness were difficult to survive. Ou Baichuan was often excluded, and he did not bother with these people.
From these glorious deeds, it is not difficult to see that Ou Baichuan is a person who has the people in his heart, is determined to repay society, and is strict and fair. Such a person is strong and responsible, takes the family and country as his responsibility, and takes peace in the world as his lifelong pursuit.
It is precisely because of these lofty ambitions that he met a like-minded person not long after, and this person is our Marshal He Long.
He Long
and He Long were in trouble
Ou Baichuan first heard of He Long's name in 1924. At that time, he heard about He Long who was in the revolution with two kitchen knives. He knew that He Long was a very passionate young man and was good at governing the military, so he sent someone to write a letter saying that he could provide help to He Long in the future.
He Long had also heard of Ou Baichuan, but he didn't care about seeking help at the time, but no one expected that two years later, the two actually had an intersection, and He Long received Ou Baichuan's help.
It was in 1926. He Long was in full swing in revolution . He led his troops to participate in Northern Expedition .
Northern Expedition
At that time, He Long was the commander of the 9th Mixed Brigade of the Eastern Sichuan Border Defense Army. His troops were stubbornly blocked by the enemy when they entered Hunan and suffered serious losses.
He Long was helpless and retreated to Tongren, Guizhou. When Ou Baichuan, who was the leader of the First Guizhou Army at the time, found out, he happened to be stationed in eastern Guizhou, so he immediately mobilized his regiment to surrender to He Long.
The two met and had a great time talking. Ou Baichuan felt that he had found a confidant, and at this time he changed his name to "Ou Baichuan". Then they united the troops and advanced into Hunan together to participate in the Northern Expedition. The two cooperated properly, and Ou Baichuan was like a god descending to earth!
Helong
When fighting in Yangmao Creek, Taoyuan County, Hunan Province, Ou Baichuan led his army to scatter thousands of enemies and seize hundreds of guns! With this battle, he became famous in one battle and was hailed as the number one strong general under He Long.
After that, the two went north, east and west, advancing together with both ends and winning consecutive battles! Ou Baichuan is two years older than He Long, but he did not become qualified and rely on his seniority because of his age. Instead, he humbly accepted He Long's leadership and opinions. It is precisely because of this that they became a pair of partners on the battlefield.
Then the two entered Hubei, where they were blocked by the most elite troops under Wu Peifu.
Wu Peifu
The enemy was condescending and launched an attack on our army. He Long's troops suffered heavy losses. At this moment, Ou Baichuan led reinforcements to come. He personally boarded the battlefield and commanded the army to charge. After many charges, the enemy was completely defeated! This is the famous Golden Mouth War!
After the war, He Long was quite grateful to him. He said to Ou Baichuan: "Baichuan, with you, I will not retreat!"
Due to Ou Baichuan's outstanding performance in the battle, he became the deputy commander of the First Division of the 20th Army. However, the society was not peaceful at this time. Chiang Kai-shek's ambitions quickly expanded, and at this time the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup was launched!
Chiang Kai-shek
In the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup, Chiang Kai-shek slaughtered countless Communists, causing a heavy blow to the cause of our party. The white terror he created had a bad impact on society, causing panic and the atmosphere was particularly tense.
At this time, the Wuhan National Government publicly opposed Chiang Kai-shek's arbitrary behavior and decided to appoint Ye Ting's 11th Army and He Long's 20th Army to march south to fight.
After Ou Baichuan learned about Chiang Kai-shek's behavior, he was also quite angry because he had believed that he had found the right path, that is, the Communist Party of China.
Chiang Kai-shek
Ou Baichuan is inseparable from the influence of one person. This person is Comrade Zhou Yiqun sent by Premier Zhou to He Long.
Zhou Yiqun is an excellent party member. After he came to He Long again, he promoted the thoughts of our party, which is also a key factor for He Long to become the Communist Party.
Later, after Ou Baichuan arrived, after several contacts, Zhou Yiqun discovered that Ou Baichuan was also a righteous man and could unite, so they went to a unit, and Zhou Yiqun took this opportunity to promote the thoughts of our party.
Zhou Yiqun
Ou Baichuan was greatly encouraged. However, because like He Long, he was the leader of the Northern Expedition Army in . In addition, during the first time of the Kuomintang-Communist cooperation with , they implemented intra-party cooperation, so they failed to join the Communist Party, but became our good friends.
After the army decided to go south, Ou Baichuan actively supported and followed the large army to Nanchang , and in Nanchang was also the highlight of Ou Baichuan's life.
The person who fired the first shot
At the end of July 1927, in view of the serious revolutionary situation, our party decided to carry out the Nanchang Uprising. Under the planning of Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, He Long, Ye Ting, Lin Biao and others, the Nanchang Uprising began like this!
Nanchang Uprising
If you want to ask who fired the first shot of the Nanchang Uprising, it must be Ou Baichuan! The original time for the Nanchang Uprising was four o'clock in the morning, but because someone reported it, the command center advanced the uprising time by two hours, setting it to two o'clock in the morning.
However, the Kuomintang is not a fool. When they heard that someone was uprising, they immediately started to mobilize the brigade.
At that time, the troops led by Ou Baichuan were responsible for the task of staring at the Jiangxi Provincial Government in Nanchang City. At twelve o'clock that night, Ou Baichuan discovered that people were coming and going in front of the provincial government, and it was very likely that the uprising had been exposed!
Nanchang Uprising
Just just when Ou Baichuan wanted to report this matter, the enemy suddenly found Ou Baichuan and others lying in front of the door, and an encounter began! Ou Baichuan made a quick decision and launched a counterattack. He was the first shot of the Nanchang Uprising!
Our army command was unclear at the beginning, so why did someone shoot before the uprising began? At this time, Ou Baichuan's soldiers also came to the command center to report on the situation, so our army took this opportunity to launch the famous Nanchang Uprising!
After a fierce night of battle, the Nanchang Uprising was successfully over! The troops decided to move south, pointing straight to Guangzhou. However, due to the enemy deployed a large number of troops in Guangzhou and our army's command errors, the rebel army suffered heavy losses!

Ou Baichuan led 2,000 troops to get separated from He Long's main force, and the Kuomintang immediately surrounded him layer by layer when he learned about Ou Baichuan's movements.
Ou Baichuan escaped during the melee, but most of the soldiers died tragically! After the defeat, Ou Baichuan bought a scalper ticket, went to Hong Kong, and then took a steamer to Shanghai.
After arriving in Shanghai, Ou Baichuan asked around about where He Long was going, but found nothing. At this time, the news of Shanghai was very tight, and Ou Baichuan was listed as a key statistical target.

Later Ou Baichuan took office under a general of the National Army. He quietly recruited his own troops. After two companies, he set off again to Hunan and met He Long in Xiangxi , but this time He Long did not accept him.
It turned out that He Long's troops also suffered heavy losses at that time. He also went to western Hunan for several times. At this time, he still had a firm foothold, so he did not accept Ou Baichuan.
Ou Baichuan had to take his troops to Wuhan, defect to the general of the National Army, Luo Qijiang, and quietly delivered supplies to He Long, and so on until the end of the Red Army's Long March.
Luo Qijiang
Seclusion in the deep mountains of Guizhou
1937, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Ou Baichuan followed Luo Qijiang and participated in a series of major battles such as the Battle of Shanghai and the Battle of Changsha and . At this time, he was promoted to the position of commander of the 82nd Division of the National Army with his military achievements, and he was already a general in the National Army.
Chen Cheng also heard about Ou Baichuan's name. However, he never trusted Ou Baichuan because he knew that Ou Baichuan was once in the same group as the Communist Party, not to mention that the Kuomintang did not trust people from the Guizhou Army.
So Chen Cheng repeatedly stated in front of Chiang Kai-shek that he demanded the military power of Ou Baichuan and then put him under house arrest.
Chen Cheng
Chiang Kai-shek was jealous of the virtuous and capable. After all, Ou Baichuan is not his direct descendant. So what if he has many military achievements? Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Ou Baichuan to hand over the military power.
Ou Baichuan knew that the situation was critical, so he launched a riot directly in Changde, Hunan and led his 82nd Division to revolt! He also wrote to He Long that he would go to Yan'an.
However, He Long considered that during the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, if the cooperative relationship between the two parties was destroyed due to this, and they could not fight against Japan together, the consequences would be extremely serious! Therefore, he refused Ou Baichuan's trip to Yan'an and disagreed with Ou Baichuan's Uprising.
Chen Cheng
But it’s too late, Ou Baichuan launched an uprising in the Prince Temple in Changde, shocking the whole country! Chiang Kai-shek did not expect that Ou Baichuan was so hard and he really dared to rebel! Just when he was in a state of turmoil, He Yingqin came out to mediate.
It turns out that He Yingqin, like Ou Baichuan, is from Guizhou, and he wants to win over Ou Baichuan; on the other hand, the Ou Baichuan Uprising is completely related to Chen Cheng's aggressiveness, and he wants to take the opportunity to suppress Chen Cheng. In this way, He Yingqin took the initiative to mediate the two of them.
At He Yingqin's strong request, Chiang Kai-shek also sent Chen Cheng to Changde to let the two meet face-to-face. Chen Cheng was afraid that Ou Baichuan would hold the Hongmen Banquet, and Ou Baichuan also hated Chen Cheng, so this matter did not succeed.
He Yingqin
In the end, He Yingqin solved this matter. He Yingqin was not polite and took over Ou Baichuan's 82nd Division and stationed in Guizhou. Only then did the matter be considered calmed down.
Because of this, Chen Cheng and Ou Baichuan formed a gangster. Chen Cheng sent spies to Sichuan and cruelly killed Ou Baichuan's family! Only Ou Baichuan's youngest son escaped by chance, and all other family members were killed!
Ou Baichuan withdrew from the army and went to the Kuomintang Mainland University for further studies. He then lived in seclusion in the mountain village of Guizhou and lived a life as an old farmer.
He Yingqin
In the years of the civil war between and , Ou Baichuan had been enjoying the joy of farmers, carrying hoes every day and working hard in the fields.
North the local people would not have thought that the person in his fifties in front of him was actually a Guizhou prodigy from that time. Whenever someone asked what Ou Baichuan was doing outside before, he would say, "Come on business and do some small business! The market is no longer possible now, I'm back!"
With the end of the Huaihai Battle, the Kuomintang is about to come to an end. The Kuomintang general Li Mi came to Guizhou to try to resist our army's attack.
Li Mi
He knew that Ou Baichuan was a talent and was currently living at home, so he came to the mountain village in person and wanted to invite Ou Baichuan to come forward!
But the Kuomintang killed his whole family after all, and he hated the Kuomintang to the core. Therefore, on the day of the meeting, Ou Baichuan talked to Li Mi and did not give Li Mi the chance to speak, which made Li Mi very angry and returned in vain.
In November 1949, the People's Liberation Army invaded Guizhou, and Guizhou was successfully liberated! After the liberation of Guizhou, Ou Baichuan briefly stepped forward to serve as the director of the Xiushan County Leading Committee, but after working for a short time, he returned home to work again.

Guizhou is located in a remote area with many ethnic minorities. Moreover, due to the undulating terrain, many medical equipment cannot be transported to the mountains, and the teaching resources are also limited, which has brought great inconvenience to the local people. Therefore, Ou Baichuan put a lot of effort into education and medical care.
He set up a hospital and overhauled the school. Today, Guizhou University was improved and renamed.
