Mao Zedong attached great importance to Zhejiang's agricultural reform. When the great man inspected Zhejiang, he even wrote an ancient poem "Qijue·Mogan Mountain": Turn over and return to the seven-person room, looking back at the mountains and into the vast wilderness.

In 1955, many major events occurred in New China. In addition to the well-known awards of the founding generals, there were also the agricultural reforms of New China.

Mao Zedong attached great importance to Zhejiang's agricultural reform. When the great man inspected Zhejiang, he even wrote an ancient poem " Qijue·Moganshan": Turn over and return to the seven-person room, looking back at the mountains and mountains into the vast wilderness. Forty-eight games have passed, and Fengchi has arrived at Qiantang .

From this poem, we can see that Mao Zedong was in a happy mood. However, during his trip to Zhejiang, a secret "assassination" occurred.

Mao Zedong's special train had just passed by Xiaoshan Railway Station Not long after, the staff on the car suddenly heard a crisp sound and realized that the glass of the Chairman's special train had been attacked, so they hurried over to check.

After passing one carriage after another, the staff saw a hole in the glass, which was obviously caused by an attack by a hard object.

In this era of serious enemy agents, the staff attached great importance to this matter and immediately launched an investigation. After

finally found out the culprit, he reported it to Mao Zedong. After hearing the report, Chairman Mao took the initiative to intercede for the man.

Regarding the causes and consequences of this matter, we have to start with Mao Zedong’s special train. As we all know, Chairman Mao has always advocated integrating with the people, so he often visits various parts of the country, and especially likes to go out by train.

The reason is very simple. The train can stop at any time, and Mao Zedong can get off at any time to understand the people's sentiments.

Mao Zedong did not like flying. There are many reasons for this. First, airplanes are not very safe. Second, airplanes cannot land at any time.

Furthermore, Mao Zedong liked silence. The planes at that time were too noisy, but the train carriages were relatively quiet. Chairman Mao set up a telescope on the train to inspect the public sentiment, disaster situation, and construction along the way... Therefore, the Chairman's special train became a mobile office.

For safety reasons, the Chairman's special train is not much different from ordinary trains. In order to prevent others from seeing the car, the curtains are thickened.

Whenever Mao Zedong's special train arrived, the local government did not know about the Chairman's arrival. They only knew that the head of the central government was coming and was ready to entertain him.

Due to the need for confidentiality, everyone did not know that the chairman was coming until they met Mao Zedong.

The places where Mao Zedong’s special train made the most stops were Wuhan in Hubei and Hangzhou in Zhejiang, which reflects the importance the Chairman attaches to these two cities.

In the early years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the development of Zhejiang has always affected Mao Zedong's heart. After more than ten years of war in the province, the lives of the people were miserable.

From the warlords' melee to the Anti-Japanese War, coupled with the subsequent Liberation War, the war seriously affected the development of Zhejiang.

In addition to the happiness of the people, Zhejiang is the hometown of Chiang Kai-shek , so making the province rich has both economic and political significance.

Mao Zedong went to Zhejiang many times to inspect agricultural development. In June 1955, Chairman Mao's special train went to Hangzhou again, mainly to guide the work of rural cooperatives. The

special train arrived in Hangzhou. According to the original plan, it would leave after dark on June 18. However, Mao Zedong was busy with official duties in advance, so he requested to leave early.

The sun had just set when the Chairman's special train pulled out of Hangzhou Railway Station . Also on this train was the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union Malenkov .

At this time, Malenkov was deeply involved in the political struggle in the Soviet Union, and his situation was not optimistic, so this trip to China was of great significance.

The two most powerful figures in the Soviet Union at that time, besides Khrushchev, were Malenkov, so this man's trip to China had multiple meanings.

Mao Zedong had always been concerned about the situation in the Soviet Union, so he had a cordial conversation with Malenkov on the special train. The topic was naturally inseparable from the world situation and the construction of socialism in the countryside. Chairman Mao wanted to learn from the development experience of the Soviet Union and build a new China. agricultural cooperative .

The person responsible for the security of the special train was Comrade Wang Fang, then deputy governor of Zhejiang Province and director of the Public Security Department.

In the decades-long revolutionary struggle, Wang Fang accumulated rich experience. He was responsible for protecting Mao Zedong's safety for a long time.

The carriage Wang Fang was in was next to Mao Zedong's carriage. He was always paying attention to any possible danger factors, because the Chairman's safety was paramount.

Mao Zedong's special train has always been a mobile "head of state office". We must beware of sudden attacks by enemy agents. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China was only six years ago, there are many spies lurking in Zhejiang.

Chairman's special train left Hangzhou and arrived at Xiaoshan Railway Station about thirty minutes later. Unexpectedly, just after leaving the station and not walking far, Wang Fang suddenly heard a crisp sound.

click!

It was obviously the sound of breaking glass. Wang Fang's always vigilant heart suddenly became nervous. Although the sound came from the carriage at the back, he immediately went to the carriage in front to check on Chairman Mao's safety.

After Wang Fang confirmed that Mao Zedong's carriage was intact, he felt relieved. He called the staff to strengthen the security of Mao Zedong, and then went to investigate the cause of the crisp sound.

Wang Fang

Wang Fang walked through the carriages. When he entered the sixth carriage, his eyes were fixed on the glass. There was a small hole there, and the glass had cracks.

Several pieces of glass shards were scattered in the carriage, glimmering under the electric light. Fortunately, it was the carriage at the back and not the carriage in front where Mao Zedong was riding, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Wang Fang's first reaction was an enemy attack, thinking that it was most likely a spy lurking in Zhejiang who wanted to assassinate Mao Zedong.

After grasping the preliminary situation, Wang Fang hurried to report to Chairman Mao that a carriage had been attacked and that for safety reasons, measures should be taken immediately.

After hearing this, Mao Zedong did not panic. While working, he asked his staff to investigate the matter clearly before reporting it.

Although Chairman Mao was calm, this incident caused Wang Fang to be highly nervous. When the Chairman's special train arrived at Zhuji , Wang Fang immediately got off the train and called Lu Jianguang.

Wang Fang is the director of the Zhejiang Public Security Department, and Lu Jianguang is the deputy director of the Public Security Department. Lu Jianguang has been engaged in party security work since 1939. By 1956, he had been fighting on the public security front for seventeen years.

Lu Jianguang learned from the phone that Chairman Mao's special train was actually attacked in Zhejiang. He was very nervous and thought this matter was not trivial.

Wang Fang issued a death order and asked Lu Jianguang to catch the prisoner within one day to protect the chairman's safety.

Lv Jianguang received the order and immediately dispatched troops to Xiaoshan to investigate the matter. He also contacted Pan Zhenduo, director of the Xiaoshan Public Security Bureau, by phone to convey Wang Fang's order.

Because Mao Zedong’s special train was highly confidential, the county-level public security agencies only knew that a train passed through Xiaoshan and was attacked when it was almost dark. They did not know who was sitting in the car.

However, Pan Zhenduo also guessed that this matter was not simple. Because it was the deputy director's personal order, there was a high probability that there were central leaders on that train.

Pan Zhenduo took this matter very seriously. Someone actually dared to attack a train in his jurisdiction. He immediately issued an order asking Xiaoshan's public security and militia to mobilize to investigate the matter.

On the other side, Mao Zedong continued to inspect work in Zhejiang. Because Wang Fang raised the security level, the masses were evacuated in advance.

Also in Zhejiang, Chiang Kai-shek always sat in a sedan when he inspected Zhejiang, but when Mao Zedong inspected Zhejiang, he always walked with his legs spread out.

Due to Wang Fang's advance control, Mao Zedong walked all the way without seeing the common people he was thinking about, so he looked unhappy.

Mao Zedong naturally knew that it must be because of Wang Fang's advance arrangements that he could not see the people in Zhejiang.

In order to express his inner dissatisfaction, Mao Zedong happened to meet a big rooster in the village, so he wrote a poem to tactfully criticize Wang Fang's security work.

At the same time, Xu Jianguo, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security, was inspecting the Hangzhou area. He soon received a report from Wang Fang and learned that the chairman's special train had been attacked.

Xu Jianguo took this matter very seriously. He instructed: "This matter must be taken seriously, and the safety of the chairman cannot be regarded as a trivial matter. If the local police in Xiaoshan are not enough, they will be transferred from other places and the facts must be found out." "

Xu Jianguo is an outstanding public security leader. During the war years, he served as Zhang Xueliang's guard regiment colonel. He has long been engaged in intelligence confidentiality work.

Chen Changjie of the Kuomintang commented on Xu Jianguo: "He is unpredictable!"

Xu Jianguo

Now that Mao Zedong's special train was attacked, it was a top-level case. Xu Jianguo himself boarded Chairman Mao's special train to personally investigate this major " Assassination".

Xu Jianguo has many years of experience in criminal investigation. He looked at the broken carriage glass and saw that the gap was different from what he imagined.

If it is a gunshot, with the power of the bullet, it can make a round hole in the car window glass, and it will also penetrate the glass on the other side.

But in fact, the glass of the car window was only broken with a small hole, and the entire glass was only cracked with a few gaps.

After investigation, Xu Jianguo believed that the attack on the Chairman's train was not caused by a bullet, but by some kind of hard object.

Xu Jianguo personally ordered an investigation into the location where the attack occurred. He speculated that the local people may have never seen a train, so they stoned them.

By this time, Xu Jianguo had realized that the case might not be that complicated. With his many years of criminal investigation experience, there was a high probability that it would not be the work of enemy agents.

There are three reasons:

First, the weapons are crude, and no one would be stupid enough to assassinate Mao Zedong with stones;

Second, the whereabouts of the Chairman's train are highly confidential. If the enemy learns about this, he will definitely send top killers. , instead of ordinary stones;

Third, this was not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the education of the people was not enough, so car smashing was not uncommon.

After listening to Xu Jianguo's analysis, the police from the Ministry of Public Security thought that the deputy minister was right, and everyone was relieved.

Since it didn't look like a spy attack, the time for investigating the case was relaxed, instead of being limited to solving the case within twenty-four hours.

Immediately afterwards, police forces from many surrounding cities began to rush to Xiaoshan County to investigate the people who "attacked" the Chairman's train.

According to the location where the special train was attacked, the police targeted "Caojiaqiao". The police sent people to conduct a blanket investigation and asked who was at the railway side when it was getting dark that day and saw a train. Did anyone move towards the train? Stoned.

Caojiaqiao is an ordinary village. Most of the people in the village are named Cao. When the people saw so many policemen coming to the village, they became very nervous and realized that something big might have happened in the village.

The originally quiet small village was shrouded in a tense atmosphere that night, as if a storm was about to come.

After a detailed investigation, the police found a poor farmer in the village named Cao Wensheng, who was the key suspect.

After the police obtained preliminary evidence, they immediately arrested Cao Wensheng and went to the Xiaoshan County Public Security Bureau for interrogation.

Cao Wensheng had never seen such a battle before, so he was very scared. When faced with the police's questions, he could not explain clearly.

Cao Wensheng only admitted that he saw the train during that time, but refused to disclose anything else.

As the interrogation continued, Cao Wensheng could only nod or shake his head. Occasionally, when answering questions, he could not speak clearly.

Immediately afterwards, Pan Zhenduo personally took charge of the interrogation. He quickly realized that the honest villager in front of him was a timid person.

Pan Zhenduo said: "I know that you are an ordinary poor peasant and not the enemy of our proletariat. Thinking about your wife and children at home, you can only go home as soon as possible if you explain honestly."

After Cao Wensheng hesitated for a long time , and then he told what happened. It turned out that after the sun set that day, he and his good friends in the village made an appointment to go to the railway to watch the train.

Because it was the first time to see a big train, his face was full of curiosity. He couldn't help but picked up a stone and threw it towards the train.

Cao Wensheng repeatedly said that he did not do it on purpose, he just looked at it strangely, after all, he had never seen it before.

By this time, the case had been solved clearly. Just as Xu Jianguo guessed, it was the common people near Xiaoshan Station who smashed the train's glass with stones, not the spies who wanted to assassinate Mao Zedong.

But these cannot prove Cao Wensheng’s true motives. Key witnesses are still needed, so Pan Zhenduo asked again, is there anyone who can testify for you?

Cao Wensheng quickly replied, saying that when he threw the stone, the person standing next to him was his good friend Cao Peixing. I wonder if Cao Peixing saw it.

Pan Zhenduo asked the police to go to Caojiadu and took Cao Peixing into the police station. Pan Zhenduo interrogated the case personally, and Cao Peixing's answer was exactly the same as Cao Wensheng.

What can be determined from this is that the stone thrown by Cao Wensheng on a whim did not cause serious trouble.

After the Xiaoshan County Public Security Bureau investigated thoroughly, they didn't know how to deal with Cao Wensheng, so they reported it to the province. Because it involved Chairman Mao's special train, the Zhejiang Provincial Public Security Department was not able to make a decision, so it reported it to the central government.

Xu Jianguo took the Xiaoshan County case and reported it to Mao Zedong. The chairman quietly listened to the attack on the special train and thought that Cao Wensheng was just a farmer who smashed the car because he had never seen a train. Since he was not a gangster, there was no such thing. Need to be investigated.

When Xu Jianguo heard the chairman's plea, he said that what Cao Wensheng committed was a crime of undermining traffic safety. If he was not dealt with strictly, he would not be able to warn everyone.

Mao Zedong smiled and pleaded for Cao Wensheng again: "He has not caused any consequences. Education is enough. He can be a model."

It was precisely because of Mao Zedong's intercession that Xu Jianguo dealt with this matter. When the incident occurred, he instructed the Zhejiang Provincial Public Security Department to sentence Cao Wensheng to three years in prison, and then suspended his sentence.

Cao Wensheng squatted in the Public Security Bureau for more than 20 days in fear. He thought his life was in danger, but the police opened the iron door again and let him out.

The public security agency in Xiaoshan County only knew that the leader was sitting in the train, but as the case came to light, they learned that Mao Zedong was sitting in the train.

This incident made Pan Zhenduo break into a cold sweat and realized that he should intensify his efforts to educate the masses; when Cao Wensheng learned that he had smashed the Chairman's train, he was even more frightened to death. He was grateful to the Chairman for interceding. Save yourself from jail.

Xiaoshan County has begun extensive publicity and education, asking everyone to correctly understand trains and not to throw rocks at trains just because they have never seen them. This is a crime of undermining traffic safety. Cao Wensheng is a typical case.

The article ends with Mao Zedong’s inspection of Zhejiang:

Hangzhou, Zhejiang, has always been Mao Zedong’s second hometown. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Mao Zedong has visited Zhejiang more than 50 times and lived in Hangzhou for nearly 800 days. Countless conferences and meetings.

For example, my country’s first draft constitution was drafted by Mao Zedong in Zhejiang.

Mao Zedong paid special attention to Zhejiang's agricultural development and the living standards of Zhejiang farmers, and personally inspected Zhejiang's first agricultural cooperative.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the two-wheeled and double-shared plow had just been introduced. However, due to flaws in the design, the promotion of this agricultural equipment in the south did not go smoothly.

Mao Zedong specially went to Zhejiang’s Farm Tool Management Bureau and Zhejiang Institute of Agricultural Sciences to inspect the improvement of the double-share plow and make this foreign equipment suitable for use in China.

After listening to the technicians' explanation, Mao Zedong went to the experimental field in person to watch the technicians operate the improved two-wheel and double-share plow.

Mao Zedong personally led the cattle and plowed the farmland for about fifty meters, and checked the use of the improved double-share plow.

Before leaving, Mao Zedong asked the leaders of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee to ask agricultural cadres to read more, especially "Principles of Farming" and "Soil Science" to promote agriculture through science and technology.

At that time, the alleys in Hangzhou were dilapidated and old, with rubbish strewn all over the place and the stench was high. Hundreds of people could live in a small courtyard. It was also under Mao Zedong's personal instructions that Hangzhou began the transformation of its old city.

On February 8, 1975, Mao Zedong took a special train to Hangzhou for the last time.

But this time, Mao Zedong's health was not as good as before. He underwent various physical examinations in Hangzhou to treat eye diseases.

Since it was New Year's Eve, the staff made a cake for the chairman. This was the last Spring Festival that Mao Zedong spent in Hangzhou.

On April 13, Mao Zedong’s special train left Hangzhou, and he never returned to his second hometown since then.
