Chapter 17 1. Mao Zedong was "ill" and was admitted to the Gospel Hospital

Mao Zedong, who was criticized at the Southern Jiangxi Conference, was very unhappy. Coupled with the busy work before and after the first National Congress of Soviets, he was extremely exhausted physically and mentally.Mao Zedong revealed to others that he wanted to rest for a period of time, and Ren Bishi, Wang Jiaxiang, and Gu Zuolin of the Central Committee delegation, who thought he was in the way, immediately followed suit and quickly approved his request. One day in February 1932, Mao Zedong, his wife He Zizhen, and thirteen guards and soldiers climbed Donghua Mountain. Donghua Mountain, located thirty miles south of Yeping Township, Ruijin County, is a red rock hill.There is an ancient temple on the top of the mountain, facing southwest from the northeast. The temple is surrounded by green pines and cypresses, with lush trees, and a mountain path winds down.Mao Zedong lived in the left wing of the ancient temple, and the guards lived in the right wing.

"It's really a good place to rest!" Mao Zedong couldn't help admiring. That night, Mao Zedong called a meeting of all the guards.He asked everyone, "What are you doing here?" The guards said in unison: "Protect the chairman's safety, let the chairman rest well!" Mao Zedong smiled and asked again: "What else should I do?" Guards and soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say. Mao Zedong said: "I want to use this time to give you cultural lessons and current affairs. You are still young, so hurry up and study." Seeing that everyone was still silent, he said, "Don't worry about me. If you study If I am well, I will be in a happy mood, and once I am in a happy mood, I will be cured of my illness!" At the meeting, Mao Zedong personally arranged a study plan for them, in the morning - cultural study, two hours; in the afternoon - current affairs study, two hours hours; evening self-study - one hour.

On the third day, the guards began their intense study life. "Teacher Mao" patiently and earnestly taught by precepts and deeds, lived in Donghua Mountain for fifty days, every day. Reading and reading newspapers were the hobbies that Mao Zedong developed since he was a child.In the past, I was busy commanding and fighting, and it was rare to have time to calm down and enjoy reading.Now is the time.He relished reading "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Water Margin" and other classics that he had read countless times, and eagerly read the newspapers sent by his old friend "Zheng Aiqun".

"Zheng Aiqun" is Fu Lianjun, the director of Tingzhou Gospel Hospital.Gospel Hospital is a church hospital, and Fu Lianjun is a famous doctor there. At the end of 1925, Fu Lianyun met Deng Zihui in Liancheng, and Deng Zihui recommended Qu Qiubai's "New Social Outlook" to Fu Lianyun. Since then, Fu Lianyun's thinking has become increasingly radical. In August 1927, he took in Chen Geng who was injured in the Nanchang Uprising. In March 1929, after Mao Zedong led the Fourth Red Army to capture Tingzhou, he made a special trip to the Gospel Hospital to visit Fu Lianjun.From then on, the two became "brothers". At that time, Mao Zedong asked him to order newspapers on his behalf.Mao Zedong suffered several serious illnesses between life and death, but it was Fu Lianjun's skillful rejuvenation that saved Mao Zedong several times.Later, Fu Lianjun served as the Vice Minister of Health of the People's Republic of China, and was persecuted to death during the "Cultural Revolution"!

Mao Zedong said he was here to recuperate, but he couldn't sit still at all. Besides reading books, reading newspapers, and teaching the guards and soldiers about culture, he often went to and from various villages near Donghua Mountain, visiting villages and households, and caring about the daily necessities of the elders.When the nearby elders heard that Chairman Mao was recuperating on the mountain, they often came up to see him in small groups, carrying pork and eggs. Mao Zedong always received him warmly and took the opportunity to ask them about their living conditions. The fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar calendar is the Lantern Festival. Mao Zedong made an exception and took a day off. He said to the guards and soldiers: "Let's celebrate the Lantern Festival with the old man!" They came to Huangsha Village with great interest.When the elders heard that Chairman Mao was coming to spend the Lantern Festival with them, they brought out fresh and dried fruits from their family collections for Mao Zedong to taste.Mao Zedong and the elders spent an unforgettable Lantern Festival watching operas and lanterns.

During his recuperation in Donghua Mountain, Mao Zedong dealt with an important matter.One day, Mao Zedong read an announcement in the "Shenbao" published on February 16, 1932, which aroused his vigilance.It turned out that the "Shenbao" published the "Notice of Wu Hao and others leaving the Communist Party". "Wu Hao" is Zhou Enlai.When he participated in the "Zhouwu Club" in Tianjin, all the members who joined the club used "XX" as their pen name, and Zhou Enlai ranked fifth, so they used the homonym "Wu Hao" as their pen name.At this time, Zhou Enlai had already served as the secretary of the Central Bureau of the Communist Party of China in the Central Soviet Area, and was commanding the Red Army to fight. How could he break away from the Communist Party?Obviously, this announcement is purely fabricated and misleading.

Mao Zedong felt that the matter was of great importance, so he immediately drafted a notice in the name of the chairman of the Central Soviet Government of China, defending Zhou Enlai: In fact, Comrade Wu Hao was serving in the Military Commission of the Central Soviet Government. The absurd and reactionary remarks in that announcement are obviously rumors and slanders of the Kuomintang members who slaughtered workers, peasants and soldiers and then betrayed China to imperialism... Later, during the "Cultural Revolution", Jiang Qing and others turned over the old accounts in order to overthrow Zhou Enlai, but was categorically refuted by Mao Zedong, saying: "This matter has long been investigated, and it is the Kuomintang's rumors and slanders!"

Mao Zedong lived in Donghuashan for about fifty days. One day in mid-March, Xiang Ying flew up suddenly and said to Mao Zedong, who was giving cultural lessons to the guard soldiers: "Comrade Enlai, please come down the mountain." It turned out that, as Mao Zedong expected, the Red Army failed to attack Ganzhou and suffered heavy casualties, so Zhou Enlai sent Xiang Ying to move Mao Zedong down the mountain. "As soon as I have a job, I will recover from my illness." Mao Zedong ignored He Zizhen's dissuasion, and went down the mountain that day, so there was a great victory in Zhangzhou.

In October 1932, Mao Zedong, who was severely injured at the Ningdu Conference, did not return to Ruijin, but rode eastward to the Gospel Hospital in Tingzhou. "Zheng Aiqun" - Chairman Fu Lianjun, Mao Zedong's old friend, expressed his joy when he saw Mao Zedong. It turned out that He Zizhen gave birth to a baby boy 14 days ago, and Mao Zedong was happy to have a son! He Zizhen's ancestral home is Yongxin, Jiangxi.The family situation is acceptable.After graduating from elementary school, she entered a church school in Yongxin City, the girls' department of the Gospel School, and became a primary school Chinese teacher after graduation.

In 1924, Ouyang Luo, a member of the Communist Party who had a close relationship with He Zizhen's brother He Min, came to Yongxin, giving Yongxin the seeds of the Communist Party.Through He Minxue, He Zizhen met Ouyang Luo.This summer, the three He brothers and sisters, He Minxue, He Zizhen, and He Yi joined the Chinese Socialist Youth League. He Zizhen also served as the first secretary of the Youth League in Yongxin County, and soon she became a member of the Communist Party of China. The shock wave of the April 12 massacre also spread to Yongxin, and He Minxue and others were arrested and imprisoned.After being approved by the Yongxin County Committee of the Communist Party of China, He Zizhen wrote to Yuan Wencai, the "King of the Mountain" in Jinggangshan and He Minxue's classmate, asking him to save the Communist Party members in Yongxin Prison.

Yuan Wencai really showed his loyalty. On July 27, 1927, he and Wang Zuo led his troops to attack Yongxin Prison and rescued He Minxue and others.Later, He Zizhen and He Minxue went to Jinggangshan together with Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo. In October of this year, Mao Zedong led the Autumn Harvest Uprising troops to the ancient city of Ninggang at the foot of Jinggang Mountain.Mao Zedong and Yuan Wencai met in Dacang Village.Yuan Wencai introduced his subordinates to Mao Zedong one by one, and finally He Zizhen, who was seventeen years old: "This is a member of the Yongxin County Committee of the Communist Party of China." Mao Zedong said repeatedly: "I can't see it! I can't see it!" Then he asked her name again, and said to himself: "Oh, the 'he' of congratulations, the 'Zizhen' who cherishes oneself!" Mao Zedong lived in the octagonal building in Maoping.Mao Zedong always walked to Yuan Wencai's residence several times a day, and had to chat with He Zizhen when he saw her. He Zizhen also often acted as Yuan Wencai's correspondent, passing a message to Mao Zedong or something.He Zizhen admired Mao Zedong's intelligence and knowledge, Mao Zedong liked He Zizhen's beauty and strength, and the two fell in love. Yuan Wencai had an insight into the details, so he acted as the elder of the moon and pushed the two of them into the bridal chamber. In the early summer of 1928, Mao Zedong married He Zizhen.After marriage, He Zizhen served as the secretary of the Jinggangshan Front Enemy Committee, worked beside Mao Zedong, and moved to southern Jiangxi and western Fujian. In 1929, He Zizhen gave birth to a girl.At that time, the Red Army was attacking Longyan twice, and there were frequent battles. He Zizhen had to foster the girl in a local common people's home, saying that she would come to pick up the child in the future, and gave her 15 silver dollars. Later, when Mao Zemin, Mao Zedong's younger brother, went to pick up the child, he replied: "The child is no longer alive!" He Zizhen cried bitterly.In fact, the girl did not die, but was resold several times, and survived all the trials and tribulations. After liberation, she was recognized as Mao Zedong by the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. In 1932, He Zizhen became pregnant again. Before giving birth, Mao Zedong sent He Zizhen to Gospel Hospital.Fourteen days ago, Fu Lianjun delivered the baby himself, and He Zizhen gave birth to a baby boy. Mao Zedong, who was depressed, was temporarily relieved when he saw his wife who shared weal and woe and his newborn son. After He Zizhen gave birth to the child, she was weak, so she hired a nurse, who named the child "Xiao Mao". When Mao Zedong heard about the origin of the name "Xiao Mao", he couldn't help laughing: "People call me 'Old Mao', so of course my son is Xiao Maoluo!" Mao Zedong immediately named his son Mao Anhong, which means that he was born in the Red Zone and grew up to be a member of the Red Army.Of course, the generations of Anying, Anqing, and Anlong are also used. Fu Lianjun arranged for Mao Zedong to live in a quiet small western-style building half a mile away from the Gospel Hospital. At the Gospel Hospital, Fu Lianjun carefully examined Mao Zedong's body.Mao Zedong had a low fever. Fu thought it was the result of overwork and advised him to take a good rest. Mao Zedong still couldn't stay idle, he had to read a lot of books and newspapers every day, coupled with worries about the future of the Red Army and the base areas, his body became increasingly thin and weak, and one day he even vomited blood. Seeing her husband suffering from illness and unfair treatment, He Zizhen could only cry secretly. All she could do was to hold Xiao Anhong to make Mao Zedong laugh. During the Long March of the Red Army, He Zizhen had to reluctantly entrust Xiao Anhong to her younger sister He Yi and her brother-in-law Mao Zetan who stayed in the Central Soviet Area to fight persistently. On the eve of a battle in 1935, Mao Zetan temporarily entrusted Xiao Anhong to an old man to take care of him, saying that he would pick him up after the battle and wrote down the address.Unexpectedly, Mao Zetan died in this battle, and Xiao Anhong's whereabouts have been unknown since then... In 1950, He Yi became the head of the Propaganda Department of the Ji'an Prefectural Committee.She was always thinking about Anhong in her heart. On the way to look for Anhong in a jeep, the car overturned and died... In the Gospel Hospital, Mao Zedong reunited with Luo Ming, the acting secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee who had acquaintances when he attacked Zhangzhou.Luo's waist injury is also being treated at the Gospel Hospital.They talked very speculatively.Luo Ming admired Mao Zedong's talent very much.After he was discharged from the hospital, he returned to the Fujian Provincial Party Committee, vigorously and resolutely implemented Mao Zedong's "set", but was severely hit and became Mao Zedong's "scapegoat". In April 1934, it was the critical moment of the defense of Guangchang, the northern gate of the Central Soviet Area, but Mao Zedong "leisurely" wandered to Huichang, the southern gate of the Soviet Area, to "recover his illness". Liu Xiao, secretary of the Guangdong-Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee, and He Changgong, an old subordinate of Mao Zedong in Jinggangshan period and commander of the Guangdong-Jiangxi Provincial Military Region, warmly welcomed Mao Zedong's arrival. Huichang is the seat of the Guangdong-Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the Central Soviet Area, the Provincial Soviet Government, and the Provincial Military Region, and the south gate of the Central Soviet Area.On the eve of the fifth counter-campaign against "encirclement and suppression", the KMT's Cantonese army continued to advance northward and successively occupied Xunwu, Anyuan, Xinfeng and other counties south of Huichang, threatening the southern line of the Central Soviet Area.When Mao Zedong came to Huichang, Junmenling, an important town in the south gate, had fallen. Although he was not in his position, Mao Zedong managed to find a government in Huichang. In Wenwuba, the resident of the Guangdong-Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee, Mao Zedong held a series of meetings to investigate the situation on the southern front. When he heard that the 22nd Division of the Red Army, the main force on the southern front, was forced to withdraw from Yunmenling under the strong pressure of the Fujian-Guangdong enemy forces, he called Fang Qiang, the political commissar of the 22nd Division, and told them that it was right to withdraw, and Inquired carefully about the situation on the southern line. Later, Mao Zedong personally came to Gongshantang, where the 22nd Division was stationed, to guide the 22nd Red Division to carry out training and arrange strategies and tactics. "General Political Commissar Mao." The officers and soldiers of the 22nd Division still called him that. "Marshal Mao." Sun Yi, chief of staff of the division, called Mao Zedong even more special. Just when the Guangchang defense battle was fierce in positional battles, fortress battles, and short assaults, Mao Zedong was deploying tactics to the 22nd Division that Li De and others looked down upon.Mao Zedong said that it is necessary to use small troops to cooperate with local armed forces to fight guerrillas and contain the enemy.He also said: It is necessary to adopt guerrilla warfare and guerrilla mobile warfare, concentrate superior forces, and attack the enemy's weak points.He also said: What is "fortress against fortress" and "concentration against concentration", this is called hitting a stone with a pebble! More than ten days later, news came from the southern front that the 22nd Division had won several consecutive victories within four or five days! The southern line is temporarily stable. In Huichang, Mao Zedong once again brought his long-lost guerrilla tactics to the extreme, and it was an addiction.Mao Zedong lived in Huichang for two months. On July 23, 1934, after Mao Zedong landed in Huichang, Huichang City had a panoramic view, and the Mianjiang River rushed down like a belt, showing the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River!However, the anti-siege situation was getting worse and worse at this time, and the Central Bureau sent an urgent telegram asking Mao Zedong to return to Ruijin. The same sky and different scenery.The scenery here is so beautiful! Back at Wenwuba, Mao Zedong wrote the famous "Qingpingle · Huichang":
