Chapter 18 Chapter 18 The Chinese Revolution Now Into the Mountains

A young man wearing a top hat and a white suit walked through the wet side street at dawn.The small street paved with bluestone slabs made a rattling sound under his hard leather shoes from time to time, which was the call of the crooked stone slabs. On the small street of Wenjia City in the twilight, the young man stopped a child who was carrying water, and stopped him politely. He whispered, "Brother!" The small pole stopped.It was the first time he heard a rich man call him brother. "Where does Mr. Mao Runzhi of the Revolutionary Army live?" the man asked with a smile.

The little pole said, "Who are you?" The man looked kindly: "Brother, my surname is Chen Mingsan, and I am planning to open a machine factory not far from here. I am a friend of Mao Runzhi." The little shoulder pole became more and more vigilant.The little pole looked at the sky, it was getting brighter. It is the early morning of September 20th.The rest of the first, third, and second regiments of the Autumn Harvest Uprising Army arrived in Wenjiashi only yesterday, and there were about 1,500 people.Xiao Biandan also saw Committee Member Mao last night. Committee Member Mao was walking alone in front of an ancestral hall, as if he was thinking about something very heartwarming.Little Biandan naturally didn't know that the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China still made the decision to attack Changsha on this day, and he didn't know how much trouble Mao Zedong had in his heart.But he knows one thing, that is, the battle is difficult to fight, people say a lot, the army is not easy to lead, and many people want to leave the army.At such a time, it is definitely not a good thing for a rich man to inquire about Mao Zedong.

The little pole said, well, let me tell you.He put down the bucket with a smile on his face, pulled out the pole, and suddenly swept across with the pole, knocking the guy in the top hat to the ground. Chen San shouted: "Ouch! Ouch!" The little shoulder pole jumped up like a little wolf, held down the opponent, and shouted loudly: "Catch the KMT spies!" The spy was immediately sent to the tile-roofed house where Shitou, the military instructor of the third regiment, lived. Stone looked a little anxious.Swinging his one arm, he walked slowly around Chen San who was forced to sit on the small bamboo chair. "Look at your face, you are a KMT spy!" He snorted and said.

Chen San said: "I really have something important to say to Mr. Mao. The officials don't know that Mr. Mao Runzhi saved my life in Shaoshan, and we also sent a letter to let Mr. Mao escape from arrest. Saved his life." "Nonsense!" Shitou slapped the table with one arm, "Search!" As a result of the body search, no stabbing equipment was found.So Shitou pursed his lips and motioned for the two soldiers holding Chen San to leave the door. The door is closed. "Okay," Shitou sat down in front of this suspicious young man, and suddenly became amiable, "Now tell me, what do you want to say to Mr. Mao Runzhi?"

"I request a face-to-face report." Shi Shi said, "Tell me! If you don't tell me, you will be the ninth chicken. Do you know that eight chickens were killed in this town yesterday, and the slaughter hasn't started yet today?" Chen San said, can I smoke a cigarette, sir?After lighting a Meili cigarette, he said: "I have always admired Mao Runzhi, and I believe that Mr. Runzhi is the pillar of our country. At this critical moment, I would like to say to Mr. Mao directly, When the flag should be lowered, the flag should be lowered, and the drums should be lowered when the drums must be silenced. Don’t fight hard to the death, try to avoid the annihilation of the entire army, and keep the fire as the top priority, so as to plan for a new rise in the future.”

"Fuck you! To say you are a KMT spy is to underestimate you. You are a KMT lobbyist!" "Sir, do you know that the army of the Communist Party rioting in Nanchang has no way out?" "You fart again!" "Sir, I have subscribed to no less than twenty newspapers and read them every day. As far as I know, the Nanchang Uprising Army has been encircled in Guangdong. The Kuomintang's Seventh Army, Sixteenth Army, New First Division, Fourth The Division and the 20th Division are trying their best to encircle them, and the strength of the two sides is really very different. In the battle of Huichang half a month ago, He Long's 20th Army alone lost 1,000 people. Sir, I am not alarmist. The Nanchang Rebel Army is at the end of its rope, and it is difficult to turn danger into prosperity."

Shi Shi's brows knit together.He knew that the Nanchang Uprising Army fought hard.But today, when the lobbyist directly said the four words "the end of the road", he was still a little terrified. In this wet and rainy autumn in Guangdong, the divided Nanchang Uprising army was like leaves in the river, drifting away.The last one to be broken up was near Lufeng. Two divisions of the enemy's East Route Army bit up like wolves. After three hours of fierce fighting, the rest of the 20th Army was completely disintegrated.After that, Zhou Enlai, who had a fever as high as 40 degrees, was busy for several days to properly arrange the secret retreat of uprising leaders and party and government cadres.

In the hut of a villager in the Hailufeng area, Zhou Enlai, who was suffering from falciparum malaria, got up from the stretcher and looked at Commander He Long with deep sunken eyes. "I won't change!" He Long threw aside a gray cloth gown handed by the soldier, "Why do you want to change the military uniform? Ever since I put on this military uniform, I, He Long, have never thought of taking it off! I can be sorry, God, I'm sorry Damn, I'm sorry to my parents, I can even be sorry for this gun, but I can't be sorry for this military uniform!" Zhou Enlai sat up, his face was blue and his eye sockets were like wells.Zhou Enlai insisted that Commander He quickly change into casual clothes and change his disguise.He said with difficulty: "Commander He, the purpose of taking off the military uniform today is to put on the military uniform again in the future. Listen to Zhou Enlai."

He Long unbuttoned a few clothes, then stopped again.He said: "Comrade Enlai, I haven't read many books, but there is one sentence that I remember, that is: a husband's determination has roots like a mountain, and it cannot be moved! This uniform is my husband's ambition!" People rely on clothes, Buddhas rely on gold, and a good Buddha also depends on a yellow skin?" "Enlai has always admired Commander He's husband's ambition, but I don't know if the husband Commander He mentioned is a big husband or a young husband?" "Of course he is a man!" He Long stared.

"That's good," Zhou Enlai said, "There is a saying that I also remember, that is: A man can bend and stretch!" He Long was silent.Later, he quickly took off his military uniform. "Just shed its skin like a snake," he said. "Comrade He Long, you are not a snake shedding its skin, you are a dragon shedding its skin! As long as you are a good dragon, you are not afraid of shedding your skin and changing your armor!" He Long took a step forward, squatted down, and hugged Zhou Enlai tightly on the stretcher. "I'm a new party member," He Long said, "I've been with the Communist Party for the rest of my life! Comrade Enlai, don't worry, I'll go back to the west of Hunan and Hubei. I won't be called He Long if I don't pull out a new team!"

Zhou Enlai patted the man's burly shoulder with his weak hand.These shoulders were trembling slightly, as if they were also swinging like Zhou Enlai. The desperate situation of the main force of the Nanchang Uprising Army was unimaginable at that time in Shitou, a city far away in Wenjia City, Liuyang, Hunan.But he already fully felt the criticality of the situation.At this moment, every facial expression of the "KMT spy" in a white suit sitting in front of him made him feel nervous and extremely disgusted.He thinks this spy is a wolf who will behave after biting you hard. It is analyzing the aroma and chewiness of your meat. He continued to listen to the spy.He said, "Say it!" "Sir, the riot army in Nanchang has no way out. And your Mid-Autumn Festival riot army, I am really sweating." "Go on," Shitou said, the veins on his forehead throbbing. "Although your party and your army have the ambition to benefit the people and make the world fair, but according to the current situation, they are still alone, with few soldiers and few guns. An army with few soldiers and few guns cannot fight recklessly. It must be reckless. It must end with an egg hitting a rock. Sir, forgive me for saying it bluntly, you are fans of the authorities, and I am a bystander. If I don’t tell Mr. Mao Runzhi what I said today, and send a post of bitter medicine in time, I will really feel sorry for him back then. grace of salvation." Shi Shi didn't want to meet the spy's hideous gaze, so he walked around again with his eyes downcast. Chen San looked at the back of the one-armed officer, and suddenly burst into tears: "Sir, I shouldn't have come here to risk my life to remonstrate, but I really want to thank Mr. Mao Runzhi for his many years of fighting for the people of Hunan. Seeing Mr. Mao Runzhi die generously today!" Stone looked at the window and asked, "Who the hell are you?" "I'm really a friend of Mr. Mao," said Chen San. "As long as the officer tells Mr. Mao that my wife is British and her name is Maria, Mr. Mao will make me a cup of tea. Two years ago, someone If you want to bind my wife's little feet, it is Mr. Mao who firmly pulls on the foot wrap to prevent it from being bound." He won't let me pester you, I'll pester you! "Shitou muttered. Chen San didn't understand what the officer said, but he always felt that something was wrong." "Come on!" Stone really shouted angrily.The two warriors rushed forward. "Take off this kid's clothes!" Shocked, Chen San jumped up from his chair: "Sir!" "I'm sorry, but I will lend you a piece of skin!" Shitou said harshly. No matter how hard the spy struggled, the white suit was stripped off, his outer pants were stripped off, and his top hat was confiscated. Chen San suddenly stopped resisting.Wearing a white shirt and bare legs, he looked at the moody one-armed officer with a half-smile. why are you laughing?LOL!The stone's eyes were as fierce as a beast's. "Sir," Chen San suddenly seemed very obedient, and his voice was full of understanding, "I already understand why the officer wants this suit. There is also a small wooden comb here, which I often use to comb my hair, and the officer will bring it with me." Shi Shi grabbed the small wooden comb, stuffed it into his suit pocket, and ordered coldly to the soldiers: "Blindfold this gentleman and drive him out of Wenjia City for three miles!" Mao Zedong's dormitory was located in Liren School in Wenjia City. Mao Zedong got up very early. He drank a bowl of gruel, and while drinking, he thought about how to hold today's general meeting of all officers and soldiers. It was not yet bright, and the crowing of chickens outside the window was still going on one after another.At this time, he heard someone whispering a report outside the door.That sound was like a stone. "Come in!" Mao Zedong put down the bowl. "Committee Mao!" It was indeed a one-armed stone, holding a large cloth bag in his hand. "What's up?" "Commissioner Mao, your eye circles are dark. Did you stay up all night?" "It's not rare for me to stay up all night, but it's rare for you to knock on my door early in the morning. Tell me, what's the matter?" Stone was speechless for a moment.Mao Zedong wiped his mouth with a towel, wondering: "Is there anything you can't say?" Stone shook open the cloth bag, took out a white suit, trousers, and a top hat.He pushed these things in front of Mao Zedong, but Mao Zedong still couldn't understand. "Commissioner Mao, you have to leave quickly." Shitou was in a hurry. Mao Zedong was stunned for a moment: "I go?" "The New Eighth Army of the Kuomintang came up from all directions. The three regiments of ours together only have 1,500 soldiers. I thought about it, and there is no way to fight. Comrade Mao, you can't make unnecessary sacrifices. We stay Here to cover you. This suit fits you well. There is also a small comb here, you often comb your hair. Commissar Mao, if you show this style, the enemy will not recognize you!" Mao Zedong took two or three steps, thinking to himself, this stone, this stone. "Committee Mao!" Mao Zedong sat down and said: "A few days ago, you wanted to shoot deserters. Today, you mobilized me, Mao Runzhi, as a deserter." "Commissioner Mao, it was you who led me to join the Northern Expedition and embark on the road of revolution. You are my benefactor and the benefactor of my whole family. I have already seen that the Chinese revolution cannot do without you! This time The riots brought down the flag does not mean that there will be no riots in China in the future. Comrade Mao, I, Shitou, tell the truth, as long as you are there, the Chinese revolution will succeed sooner or later!" Mao Zedong took the small comb and combed his hair.The hair is too stiff to comb through.Mao Zedong laughed a few times. Stone begged and said, "Committee Mao!" "I'm leaving, how about you?" "We are fighting with the Kuomintang reactionaries! Kill one, enough money! Kill two, earn one! What about us, Commissioner Mao, don't worry about the soldiers, and the generals don't care about the soldiers. Those who control the soldiers are not the commanders. Committee member Mao, you only care about yourself and hurry up!" Go, you can go south to Hong Kong, or go north to Russia, you must avoid it, avoid this catastrophe, and pull the team again, you may succeed! If my stone does not die this time, in a few years, Qianshan Wan Shui will come to join you, Committee Member Mao again!" Mao Zedong thought, these words are the true words of Shishi. "Commissioner Mao, don't worry about us, you can listen to what the officers and soldiers of our three regiments have to say!" Shitou suddenly opened the door. All of a sudden, five or six soldiers, including Tielong, rushed in, and they said one after another: "Commissioner Mao, don't worry about us, we can persevere! Even if we open a bloody road, we will let you go!" An hour later, the general meeting of officers and men began.The venue of the meeting was the large playground of Liren School with holes and pits, and more than 1,500 officers and soldiers all stood down. Mao Zedong appeared on the command platform, but his attire looked very strange: wearing a light-colored top hat and a white suit, but still a pair of old blue cloth trousers underneath, and a pair of straw sandals on his feet. The team is now buzzing and discussing like a swarm of bees. The officer on duty shouted: "Comrades, please keep quiet. Now, Chairman Mao from the Central Committee is invited to speak to you." Mao Zedong looked at everyone with a smile all over his face.He said: "Comrades and brothers of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army! Many of our comrades feel that this time the Autumn Harvest Uprising has no hope of victory. They mobilized me to retreat in disguise. Look, they sent this They said, "Even if we open a bloody road, we will let you go! Comrades, open the bloody road, these four words carry a lot of weight, and this is a good word! With this vow to open the bloody road, I will It can be concluded that the morale of our revolutionary army is still high enough! The strength of our revolutionary army is still strong enough, and our revolution still has a way out! But, you don’t want to open a bloody path for me, Mao Zedong, but for China The revolution opens a bloody path!" The rebel soldiers wore military uniforms blackened by gunpowder, and their eyes were wide open. "If you want to win the victory of the revolution, if you don't have the determination to fight to the end, can you do it? I don't think it will work! The setbacks in this armed uprising are nothing! Now that there is a riot, we must, as the ancients said, dare to break the cauldron, smash the pot, dare to sink the boat, and cut off the back road! I, Mao Zedong, have no cauldron to break and no boat to sink , but there are hats that can be discarded, and clothes that can be destroyed! Abandoning hats and clothes is ruining the boat! We will never retreat, and we must use all our strength to fight the Kuomintang reactionaries to the end!" Having said that, the smiling Mao Zedong pulled down his top hat with a firm gesture, and took off his suit, revealing an old blue cloth clothes. The audience cheered thunderously, arms raised like a forest: "Break the boat!" "The revolution is over!" The black basket from the second regiment raised its arms and shouted again and again.He had heard many words from this Mr. Mao, and he had seen Mr. Mao shed tears when he held the little fish's body at Changsha Station, but this time, his blood boiled more passionately than ever. Shi Shi stood by the podium without raising his hand, he just lowered his head slightly, his eyes were clouded with tears, and he was also somewhat regretful. Only the little shoulder pole in the queue didn't say a word, his eyes were wide open, and there was a little confusion in his eyes.He still doesn't understand some revolutionary principles.He only knew that Committee Member Mao was saying that he would take the lead not to be a deserter, and that he would still fight. Mao Zedong waited for the cheers to calm down, and continued: "Of course, some people have left. They couldn't stand the test and escaped from the revolutionary ranks. Consolidation. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. For revolution, don’t be afraid of difficulties!” The soldiers shouted again: "Don't be afraid of difficulties!" "Attack Changsha!" "No, comrades!" Mao Zedong raised his hands to silence everyone, "I heard many comrades shouting: Attack Changsha! Attack Changsha! According to the original plan of the Autumn Harvest Uprising, Changsha was to be attacked. Everyone also wants to enter Changsha I, Mao Zedong, live in Changsha, and I want to fight back. How is Changsha? , Surrounded us. Places like Changsha are not places for us to go to at this stage. Since we can’t go, then well, let’s not go. If we don’t go to Changsha, where are we going? We can’t go to the enemy’s control or it’s rare. Go to the place you manage! Go to the countryside! Stand firm in the countryside, recharge your batteries, and develop our armed forces! After today's meeting, we will set off to the middle of the Luoxiao Mountains on the border between Hunan and Jiangxi, and search hard there. A place to stay!" The swarm of bees flew up again, and the playground of Liren School was buzzing. A brand-new way of thinking opened up the hearts of everyone. Mao Zedong knew that he had succeeded, or in other words, basically succeeded.It is an art to introduce real light in the darkest environment and gather people's hearts closely in the most difficult times. Mao Zedong said loudly: "We are now like a small stone, and Chiang Kai-shek's reactionaries are like a big water tank. But, comrades, one day, our little stone will be able to smash Chiang Kai-shek's big water tank!" Mao Zedong heard the applause.There was a wave of applause.But Mao Zedong also heard a lot of hesitation and anxiety from these unevenly distributed applause. For the next few days, the troops were on the march.The troops were polarized.The exciting is very exciting, and the decadent is even more decadent.There are still many deserters in the battalions and companies.Many people have doubts or even fear about going south along the Luoxiao Mountains, going to Pingxiang and Lianhua in Jiangxi, and preparing to go up the mountain.If you go up the mountain, don't you become a bandit?If you always hide in the mountains, you can't go down the mountain, you can't enter the city, what is the way out for the revolution?Stone with red eyes started to catch the deserters. One night he and Tielong hung eight people from a tree, and one of the belts broke. Mao Zedong became more and more worried about the current situation of "more officers and fewer soldiers, more guns and fewer guns" in several battalions and companies.He thought that there were only a thousand men left in the army, and it was time to put on leggings.There should be a very fundamental difference between the people's army led by the Communist Party and the "green forest heroes" in the traditional sense.This difference should be carefully looked for. Mao Zedong had pain in his feet for several days.Shi Shi pulled a stretcher to carry him, but Mao Zedong waved his hand and refused. "Walk well," Mao Zedong said to Shitou. "When I walk, I can think better about how to walk." For the 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army who were walking, the battle in Luxi Town on September 25 was another serious blow to their vitality.The special agent battalion and security regiment of Zhu Peide's Ministry of the Kuomintang carried out a successful ambush outside Luxi Town, and the roar of bullets and the sound of cursing surrounded them like a dense net. Facing the rain of bullets, Mao Zedong remained calm.He half-kneeled behind a bush, and kept giving orders to break out of the encirclement.Shi Shi suddenly rushed over and yelled at Mao Zedong: "Get down! Get down!" Mao Zedong ignored it and continued to shout: "Quickly seize the high ground here!" The stone pushed Mao Zedong down and fell on him at once. Almost at the same time, a shell exploded beside him, and the scorching air blast deafened Mao Zedong's ears for a long time. When he got up, he suddenly found that the stone had not moved.Mao Zedong shouted: "Stone! Stone!" Shitou looked up at the sky, stared at the empty eyes, and said, "Sister... I... saw you coming..." Mao Zedong said: "What did you say, stone?" After noon, everything quieted down.There was the sound of shovels burying bodies everywhere.More than 200 officers and soldiers of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army were killed or injured. Lu Deming, a 22-year-old graduate of the Whampoa Phase II and commander-in-chief of the rebel army, was also shot and killed. When Lu Deming was buried, Mao Zedong shed tears.Five minutes later, Mao Zedong burst into tears again.At that time, he saw the simple stretcher made of branches and straw rope. The stretcher was carried over and placed on the side of the simple grave.On the stretcher he recognized the bloodstained remains of military instructor Stone. One of the stone's empty sleeves dangles. Tie Long broke down in tears and kept calling "Old Company Commander". Mao Zedong squatted down beside the stretcher, stretched out his hand, and stroked Shi Shi's bloody face.Mao Zedong said: "Stone, stone, I, Mao Zedong, once entrusted someone, saying that in case of accidents, we must find a way to reunite you with your parents and sister in Changsha. Looking at it now, I, Mao Zedong, can only break my promise. Stone , here is not far from the land of Sanxiang, and the mountains look green, so you can sleep here peacefully." Someone is preparing to move the remains.Mao Zedong suddenly said: "Slow!" Everyone stopped.Mao Zedong asked: "Is this Instructor Shi's gun?" "Yes," Uncle Fushun handed Mao Zedong a half-length rifle, "his butt has been broken long ago." Mao Zedong said: "The Chinese pay attention to the whole body. Instructor Shi taught everyone how to shoot with one arm. Now that he is gone, we can no longer teach him to leave empty-handed. His broken gun, in my opinion, is his left arm. arm." Everyone was taken aback. Mao Zedong took a closer look at the word "stone" engraved on the half-step support, and sighed: "Good hand!" Uncle Fushun burst into tears: "Good hand!" Heitang also said: "Good hand!" Mao Zedong said: "Stone, although I, Mao Zedong, have never studied medicine, let me help you today." He squatted down again.Gently lifted one of the empty sleeves of the stone body, straightened it, and slowly inserted the rifle barrel. Stone suddenly had full hands. Mao Zedong stood up and saluted.When he raised his hand, crystal clear tears fell down. After half an hour, Mao Zedong turned to the other side of the hillside. At this time, he was surprised to see the small pole again.The little shoulder pole is alive, but the fifteen-year-old child is lying on a stretcher at the moment, with blood on his neck and chest. Little Pole struggled to open his eyes and looked at Mao Zedong.He moved his lips, and said: "Officer, you know everything, I, can I ask you a word?" "Ask, little pole." Mao Zedong said.Seeing the little shoulder pole's face as white as paper, Mao Zedong felt uncomfortable. "Sir, I'm only fifteen years old, why should I die?" Mao Zedong frowned.What is the problem?This question is the most ridiculous when you think about it, and the most ridiculous when you think about it.Mao Zedong really couldn't think of how to answer for a while.He looked at the big dim eyes of the little pole, and those eyes were full of longing. After thinking about it, Mao Zedong bowed his face and said: "I tell you, little shoulder pole, you were injured today because you fought a war today..." "Why should I go to war?" "Because you are a soldier. You joined the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army." "I'm a soldier, I just want to eat soldier food. I don't want to go hungry." The soldiers surrounded them quietly.Many of them were wounded and covered in bandages.They listened to Chairman Mao from the Central Committee answering the doubts of a fifteen-year-old soldier. Mao Zedong continued: "Put up the recruiting flag, and there will be people who eat food. Have you heard of this sentence, little pole?" "I've heard of it." Little Pole's weak eyes narrowed into needles. "This sentence is actually wrong. To be a soldier of the revolutionary army is not just to eat food for oneself, but for the poor people in the world to have food to eat! In China, we lack everything, but there is no shortage of recruiting flags! Throughout the dynasties, There are recruiting flags up there, but in which dynasty and generation the world is not hungry? We need to change the sentence "raise the recruiting flag, and there will be people who eat food" and change it to "raise the recruiting flag, the world will have food to eat" !’ This is the purpose of our participation in the Workers’ and Peasants’ Revolutionary Army! Our recruitment flag is the Party’s flag! The flag of faith! The flag of ideals in life! The flag of ambition!” All eyes were on Mao Zedong.Mao Zedong himself felt that these sentences were powerful.So Mao Zedong lowered his face again and asked, "Little shoulder pole, do you now know why you became a soldier?" Uncle Fushun answered on his behalf: "Commissioner Mao, he doesn't know anymore." Mao Zedong was startled: "What?" Uncle Fushun said, "He is gone." The little pole quietly closed his sunken eyes. The flames of the lantern made half of Mao Zedong's face red. Mao Zedong stood up, holding a shiny green bamboo pole with both hands, and placed it on the Eight Immortals table used as a conference table.Four days after the defeat of Luxi Town, the CCP Front Enemy Committee held an enlarged meeting in Sanwan Village, Yongxin County, Jiangxi Province. Mao Zedong said: "Last night, I didn't fall asleep until the rooster crowed. I kept thinking about this pole. The owner of this pole was only fifteen years old. When our revolutionary army captured Dongmen City, he was from the Kuomintang. Released from the prison. I remember he drank six bowls of porridge in one breath, and demanded to be a soldier for food. Four days ago, he sacrificed. Before he closed his eyes, he asked me: I am only fifteen years old, why should I die? Why should I die? To fight?" Uncle Fushun's eyes are round, and so is Heikang's. "Yes," Mao Zedong looked at the lantern hanging above his head.The lantern hissed. "Why die? Why fight? Although this question comes from a fifteen-year-old child, it contains the principles of life and the principles of the world. These words are as big as the universe!" There is wind outside the door, and the leaves are rustling. Mao Zedong said: "Now, the problem facing our uprising troops is very serious. The army is exhausted, morale is not high, and there are deserters every day. Three days ago we had more than 1,500 people, and now we have more than 1,000 people. They couldn’t fight anymore. Many soldiers asked each other every day: Are you going or not? Our soldiers shouted slogans very loudly at the meeting: Down with the warlords! , just like the owner of this shoulder pole asked when he sacrificed: Why should I die? Why did I fight? If this problem is not resolved, the morale of our revolutionary army will not be strengthened, and we will not be able to undertake the task of long-term resistance. Then, Who will tell our soldiers, why are you fighting? Why are you dying? Why are you dying? I, of course, can tell everyone, but I, Mao Zedong, only have one mouth. More than ten. Moreover, we have to talk about this issue as big as the universe, every year, every month, every day, and it’s impossible not to talk about it every day. So, where do so many mouths come from?" Heigan proposed: "Each regiment should set up a preaching team!" Mao Zedong said: "Not every regiment, but every company! It's not a preaching team, but a branch of the Chinese Communist Party!" Many people were taken aback: Party branch? Mao Zedong said: "I have been thinking about this issue for a whole night. I suggest that we reorganize the troops in Sanwan this time. We want to build a new type of people's army! First of all, we need to reorganize the organization and downsize the entire division. As a regiment, that is: the First Regiment of the First Division of the Workers’ and Peasants’ Revolutionary Army, it has two battalions and seven companies under its jurisdiction. In addition, an officer team and a health team are set up. For those who waver in the army, the principle of voluntariness is adopted, and we are willing to stay Those who want to stay, those who don’t want to stay will be sent off, and travel expenses will be given.” Heitang said, "Farewell? Committee Member Mao, can I see you off?" "The stalwarts in our team are still in the majority. They hate Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei's rebellious revolution, and they are willing to follow the Chinese Communist Party's revolution to the end. As for some small intellectuals in our team, some people who were former military officers, they really see If they are pessimistic and shaken by the prospect of the revolution, what good are these people staying? If they want to leave, we will pay each person three to five yuan for travel expenses depending on the distance. They returned to the local area to continue the revolution, and they are willing to come back in the future, and they can come back! This matter, Comrade Fushun, you can do it.” Uncle Fushun should be straightforward: "I will do it. I have been able to scrape and squeeze pustules since I was a child." "At the same time, we must implement a democratic system of equality between officers and soldiers within the army, abolish beating and scolding, open the economy, and establish soldier committees at the company, battalion, and regiment levels. Comrades, there is one more important thing about building a new type of people's army. The most important What is the most important one? That is to establish party organizations at all levels in the army. We need to establish party branches on the company, and set up party groups in squads and platoons. By building the branch on the company, we can understand the situation of the soldiers every day , better educate and unite the soldiers, and play the role of the branch as a battle fortress. If one day some comrades have doubts: Why am I a soldier? Who am I fighting for every day? Why should I die? The comrades of our company’s party branch, our squad Comrades in the party group will clearly tell them: you are fighting for the fundamental interests of the oppressed people of China, you are fighting for your parents, brothers, and sisters to no longer be enslaved by imperialism and feudalism, you are fighting Even if you die in battle, you will die for realizing the ideal of communism in China, and for the bright future of China!" Yes, yes, the participants nodded frequently. Mao Zedong also said: "If we raise the banner of sickle and ax high in every company, if we have a new type of people's army led by the Communist Party of China, we will have the strength of a rock, even if we are small in number , and we will never be defeated or dragged down, we will be indomitable and invincible!" These suggestions were put forward by Mao Zedong after concentrating on them.The Front Enemy Committee fully agrees with these opinions of Mao Zedong.In Sanwan, a large village with more than 50 families, for five days, a thousand-man army was hammered once on an anvil, until it screamed loudly and became bright. The famous Sanwan adaptation is an important beginning for the Communist Party of China to build a new type of people's army.Since then, the battalions and regiments of the revolutionary army have established party committees. For the first time, Mao Zedong established a collective leadership system for the workers' and peasants' revolutionary army, thus establishing the party's absolute leadership over the army. Mao Zedong announced a new list of cadres: Chen Hao, head of the regiment.One battalion leader, one citizen, party representative Wan Xixian.Zhang Ziqing, the battalion commander of the third battalion, and He Tingying, the party representative.Zhu Jiansheng, the commander of the spy company, and Luo Ronghuan, the party representative.Lu Chi, the captain of the officer team.The captain of the health team, Cao Wei, and the party representative, He Changgong. On October 3, he led the reorganized workers' and peasants' revolutionary army to leave Sanwan and march towards Jinggangshan.He walked to the side of the road and said loudly to the marching troops: "Comrades, He Long started with two kitchen knives, and later brought a soldier! We have two battalions, are you afraid we can't do it? We went up the mountain victoriously today. Tomorrow, we will go down the mountain victoriously, and tomorrow, we will definitely be able to fight to Changsha and to Beijing!" The soldiers yelled: "Go to Changsha!"Call to Beijing! In October of the same golden autumn, a part of the Nanchang Uprising Army led by Zhu De and Chen Yi also entered Jiangxi.After the fierce battle in the Sanhe Realm, this team had no supplies and no reinforcements. They fought and ran, and were in a difficult situation. "Commander Zhu," someone shouted from the team marching in the woods, "what shall we do?" Zhu De, who was wearing a tattered military uniform, stopped.The thick dead leaves in the forest creaked on the worn soles of his shoes.He saw many eyes.These gazes carry the hunger of thought.Zhu De said a lot and did a lot of work along the way, but he knew he had to say more. Chen Yi also said: "Commander Zhu, please say a few words." Zhu De said, "Okay, let me talk about how to do this." The crowd gathered around.The trees that covered the sky and the sun were rustling. "What should we do next? This is of course a big problem. What should we do? It's easy to do, fight a guerrilla! Jiangxi has a peasant base during the Great Revolution. As long as we combine with the peasant movement and find a place to gain a foothold, then we can develop!" "No one pays." Someone shouted. Zhu De said: "We are doing revolution, as long as we have food, what kind of salary do we want?" "If you don't pay, how can you buy rice, Commander Zhu?" Zhu De said: "It's easy to do if we don't have money to buy rice. Let's go directly to the local tyrant's house to pick grain!" Everyone laughed.Before the laughter stopped, a panting soldier came to report that Company Commander Lin, who had escaped, had returned. After a sound of leaves, a thin twenty-year-old boy was pushed in front of Zhu De.The young man said: "Report to Commander Zhu, I am not running away, I am going down the mountain to check the situation." "Are you from the 73rd regiment?" Zhu De looked at his ragged military uniform. "Report to Commander Zhu, I am Lin Biao, commander of the seventh company of the second battalion of the 73rd regiment." "When you left the army, did you greet anyone?" Lin Biao was speechless for a while.Zhu De immediately said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, Company Commander Lin can leave or check on the enemy's situation. Everyone is happy when he comes back and keeps up with the team. You see, your legs are injured, and you are bleeding , while still finding the troops. It’s not easy for you!” Chen Yi said: "Come on, Company Commander Lin, sit down first and rest for a while." He took a white bandage, squatted down, and wrapped Lin Biao's calf himself. Lin Biao suddenly choked up his voice and said, "Commander Zhu, I am willing to revolution to the end!" "Okay, this sentence expresses the ambition of a revolutionary soldier!" Zhu De was very satisfied with this thin young man's last statement. He had heard that this young company commander was very brave in battle. Words should also be from the bottom of his heart.朱德站上一块土坡，对聚集在树林里的疲惫的部队大声说，“同志们，大家都知道，中国的大革命，是失败了；我们起义军，也失败了。但是，大家要把革命的前途看清楚。1927年的中国革命，好比1905年的俄国革命。俄国的1905年革命失败之后，革命者没有退却，所以他们在1917年就把革命干成功了！我们中国，也会有胜利的'1917年'的！我们一定不要气馁，我们要坚持到最后胜利！” 朱德说得很实在。树林里的许多心都被他打动了。 “同志们！”朱德又说， “虽然我们每天都在走，前面有堵的，后面有追的，我们还不知道哪个地方是我们的家，但是，我们会找到一个家的。我们一进来江西，江西的袁玉冰、曾山，不是先后都来联络了吗？他们告诉我们，这里的群众还是非常欢迎共产党的队伍的！当然，眼下我们很艰苦，天凉了，大家还穿着八月份发给大家的单衣，每夜都冻得发抖，我朱德看了，也难受。革命，确实是艰苦的。有人不适应，也是难免的。现在我宣布，要革命的，跟我走。不想再革命的，可以回家，我们真的不勉强。” 有几个士兵犹豫了一下，当场就放下了枪，转身就走。 朱德回头，低声对林彪说：“林连长，你若是家里有困难，也可以走。” 林彪轻声说：“我不走，我跟定朱军长了！” 朱德抬脸，问大家：“那么，还有走的吗？” 林子里响起了一片悲壮的回音：“我们不走！我们要革命！” 声音轰轰响，惊得一大群鸟飞了起来。鸟飞走之后，忽然又一阵树叶响，那是王尔琢惊喜万分地跑来了。王尔琢是原国民革命军第三军26团的参谋长，奔跑起来像只山鹿。 “朱军长！”他喘着大气报告，“毛泽东的秋收起义部队，已经进入罗霄山脉了！” “哦！”朱德一惊，“什么地方？” “地方叫井冈山。老百姓反映，井冈山周遭的几个县都红了，分田分地，忙啊！毛泽东的部队，人也越来越多，经常打胜仗！” 朱德在当晚夜营时，就把队伍中的毛泽覃找来了。他叫毛泽覃化上装，赶紧去找兄长毛泽东。朱德说：“你无论如何要找到毛泽东同志，你告诉他，我们这支队伍盼着与他相见，听听他怎么说。” “明白了！”毛泽覃说。 “等等，”朱德又示意对方坐下来，“你名字也得改一改。” 毛泽覃一时如坠云雾。陈毅笑着解释：“朱军长为了你的一路安全，建议你别再姓毛了。你要是说你叫毛泽覃，敌人还不把你跟毛泽东联系起来？” “那我就不姓毛了。名字也不叫泽覃，颠倒过来，姓覃名泽，叫覃泽。这样，朱军长放心了吧？” “放心了，放心了！覃泽同志，一路上千万小心哪，要是蒋介石知道你的使命，知道朱德的枪想同毛泽东的枪加在一块儿，他就是当了新郎倌，夜里也睡不安稳哟！” 陈毅奇怪了：“蒋介石要当新郎倌了？” 朱德说：“他要跟宋美龄结婚，风声都很大喽。孔夫人宋霭龄专门在上海开了个记者招待会，说：将军要同我的小妹结婚罗！然后把蒋介石和宋美龄拉在一块儿，让镁光灯啪啪啪地闪。我前天在小镇上捡到半张破报纸，才知道这事。” 陈毅笑着说：“朱军长倒没有把这张报纸给我们看。我也想看看镁光灯怎么个啪啪啪哩！” 朱德不好意思地说：“当手纸了。” 好几个人捂嘴笑。朱德说：“我说句大实话，蒋介石这个人，现在两只手都是共产党人和工农群众的血。他想做孙中山连襟，中国历史可以承认，他想跟孙中山连名，中国历史不会认账！” 蒋介石如愿做了孙中山的连襟。宋家小女儿宋美龄为蒋总司令的英武所打动，断然与男友刘纪文分了手；当然，蒋介石与陈洁如也是好一场谈判，会说俄语的陈洁如被迫同意拎一包金钱去美国“读书”。 婚礼是12月1日在上海大华饭店跳舞厅举行的，白俄乐队自始至终奏着优雅的欧洲名曲。蒋介石在当天下午把脑袋刮得精光，穿上了定制的欧式燕尾服和条纹裤子。他在孔祥熙的陪同下挥手出场，步伐越过红地毯，潇洒而自信。他的踌躇满志之态与婚礼主持人、南京政府教育部长蔡元培的拉腔拉调的夸张语气相得益彰。 当蔡元培高声宣布“向国父孙中山三鞠躬”时，蒋介石与身披白色长裙礼服的新娘及时鞠下躬去。 孙中山在国民党党旗与国旗的簇拥下，微笑在镶有金边的画框里。蒋介石在向他鞠第二个躬时，忽然想到了广州。他想到的不是五年半之前的广州，那时候他在永丰舰的甲板上为孙中山遮挡了五十天的海风与弹片。他想到的是眼下的冬广州。据汪精卫和开进广州的张发奎的密报，四天以前，中共的广东省委已经作出了在广州发动武装起义的决定。 张发奎还派人捎来了一份中共广东省委的起义宣言，那宣言中的口号句句火药味：“工友们，农友们，兵士们，下级军官们，学生们，及一切贫民们，联合起来反对共同的敌人！” “为拥护省港罢工工人原有权利而斗争！为提高一切工人的工钱而斗争！为恢复广州各工会而斗争！为复用旧有被驱逐的铁路工人而斗争！用强力夺回自己的工会！实行示威和群众大众的自由！” “打倒反革命的国民党！夺取政权在我们自己手里！准备为广州苏维埃政权而战争！用群众革命及苏维埃政权反对帝国主义军阀及资本家！” 蒋介石在鞠第三个躬的时候，一下子想起了所有这些口号。孙中山冲着他微笑。孙中山在辞世的最后一刻，还说过他的心向着苏俄。蒋介石对孙中山默念道：广州是你先生的发迹之地，也是我蒋中正的发迹之地。广州决不能成为中国共产党的发迹之地。今天虽是我蒋中正大喜之日，但我也决不会允许共产党在广州用机关枪为我放鞭炮！ 十天之后，广州城烈焰冲天。枪声炒豆般爆响。 几个臂上缠红布条的年轻士兵奔过街道。他们在一辆刚刚被炸翻的小汽车旁，扶起一个鲜血模糊的指挥官，他们凄惶地大喊：“张总指挥！张总指挥！” 鲜血流在张太雷脸上。黑色眼镜滑落在一边。这是一张二十九岁的年轻人的脸。 中国共产党人组织了著名的广州起义。由叶剑英领导的第四军军官教导团担任主力。起义开始是成功的，被占领的广州公安局楼顶上，铁锤镰刀旗高高飘扬起来，“广州苏维埃政府”的红色横额也悬在了公安局大门口。全广州响彻工农兵歌：“工农兵联合起来向前进，我们起来！工农兵联合起来向前进，杀绝敌人！我们前进，我们奋斗，我们胜利！推翻那帝国主义走狗国民党统治，一切权利归于我们工人农民兵士的！” 但是，敌我力量悬殊，由于粤桂军阀勾结帝国主义势力联合反扑，两天后，起义失败，总指挥张太雷英勇牺牲。 这个寒冷的十二月，烈火在广州只燃了三天，但在罗霄山脉中的井冈山地区，工农革命军的火把一直熊熊地燃烧着。 这是一个注定要出现一次小小的戏剧性场面的夜晚。清冷的月亮在宁冈升起来的时候，毛泽东和他的伙伴龙超清、袁文才、贺子珍、朱亦岳、福顺大叔一行打着火把出现在茅坪的一条山路上。他们刚开完一个小会，研究了宁岗、永新、莲花三县尽快重建党组织的问题。 毛泽东忽然听见前面传来嘈杂声。黑筐与铁龙在黑暗中同时出现了，两个人都喘着大气。 “毛委员，抓到一个国民党特务，”他们气咻咻说，“他竟敢冒充你弟弟！” 毛泽东闻言一怔。 “哥哥！”黑暗中有人喊，声音一半是窒息的。 毛泽东凝神看。 “哥哥！”声音还在喊。 毛泽东大惊：“泽覃？！” “是我，哥哥！”毛泽覃一下子挣脱了铁钳似的手臂，飞快地扑向毛泽东，“我是泽覃呀！” “泽覃！”毛泽东张开双臂。亲兄弟一下子紧紧地拥在一起了。贺子珍则笑得弯了腰，她想起了大革命时期在永新县经常说的街头小戏。 惊愕的黑筐与铁龙均在黑暗中张大嘴巴，半天合不拢。 毛泽覃说：“哥，是朱德军长亲自派我来跟你联络的！” 毛泽东说：“先吃饭，先吃饭，我看你饿坏了。” 毛泽覃一进哥哥在茅坪洋桥湖的房舍，就开始狼吞虎咽地吃饭。 大米饭。红薯。南瓜。fish soup. “慢点吃，慢点吃。”毛泽东怜爱地看着弟弟。弟弟瘦多了，乱蓬蓬的头发如乌鸦之窝，载着广东、湖南、江西三地的黑尘与硝烟。 毛泽覃终于被一根小鱼刺刺着了喉咙，不停地干呕起来。 “你看，你看！快把嘴张开！”毛泽东细心地将马灯放到饭桌上，凑着光线，用手将弟弟喉边的一根银光闪闪的小鱼刺拔了出来。 “行了！”毛泽东很满意自己的手艺。“你再咽一下！” 毛泽覃吞咽了一下，果然没有了剌痛感。 毛泽东说：“知道吗，剌小，是因为鱼小。” 弟弟说：“这还用你说。” “你既懂得剌小是由于鱼小之故，那么，你懂不懂得鱼为什么小呢？” 弟弟停止了吃饭，看着哥哥。 毛泽东说：“我的炊事兵，每天都到对面山溪里网一些鱼回来。可是最大的鱼，也只有小拇指这么长。溪中之鱼，一条条游得都很快，那是因为水急。但正因为水急溪浅，便又生出了另外一条道理，那就是：溪中无大鱼。” 毛泽东站起来，打了个幅度很大的手势：“只有这么宽的江，才有这么长的鱼！只有这么深的湖，才有这么大的鳖！泽覃，你明白我说什么了吗？” 弟弟点头，似乎明白，又似乎不明白。 毛泽东说：“井冈山方圆五百里，是个大湖，惟大湖才能养出大鱼，所以，应当赶快请你们的朱德军长上井冈山来！” 弟弟激动了：“朱军长就等着哥哥这句话！我这就赶回去报告。” 毛泽东说：“不，泽覃，你不用走了。前些日子，我已经专门派何长工同志去找你们了！” 何长工终于看见了一间村舍。 他山路上走累了，直喘大气。他敲敲门，接着就推了进去。快12月底了，辗转打听南昌起义军下落的何长工来到广东韶关犁铺头。他走得腿都发肿了。 穿着破衣烂衫的老老少少十几口人，一齐抬脸，惊疑地盯着这个皮肤黝黑的不速之客。 何长工问：“老伯，请问，这里是不是刚路过一支部队？” 没人回答他。 “听说是参加过南昌暴动的部队？他们的司令姓朱，叫朱德？” 依旧没人回答他，但却有个精瘦的小伙子在他身后悄悄地把门关上了。 何长工突然意识到什么，叫喊起来：“你们想干什么？！”但是，来不及了，一只麻袋从天而降，罩住了他。 片刻之后，在犁铺头的另一处瓦房里，陈毅就接到了一个气喘吁吁的报告，一个飞奔而来的战士说：“报告纵队指导员，抓到一个可疑分子，是当地老乡帮助抓的，说是井冈山毛委员派他来的，要找朱军长。” 陈毅放下手中的地图，问：“他叫什么名字？” “说是叫何长工。” 陈毅拔脚就走。他在那家农舍门外的溪边，发现了蠕动的麻袋。 麻袋解开之后，何长工的头就伸出来了。他揉揉眼，看看四周。 “你是何长工同志？我就是陈毅啊！” “陈毅同志！”何长工想出麻袋，结果又摔倒了，“我可找到你们了！毛泽东同志让我带来口信。” 陈毅急忙扶其出袋，说：“进屋坐！进屋坐！” “不，我想先转告朱德军长和你，毛泽东同志这样说，我们工农革命军上了井冈山之后，什么都不缺了，就缺一个军长！” 陈毅愣了，半晌，一拍大腿：“果然是毛润之，一说话就是这么大气磅礴！” “毛泽东同志说，井冈山是我们的家，也是你们的家！” “快见朱军长去！”陈毅知道，朱德要是听见这样的话，眼眶子顿时就会湿的。 江西宁冈砻市的龙山书院，在1928年的4月24日，也成了一本大书中的一页。这一天，朱德率南昌起义军余部终于到达井冈山砻市，与毛泽东会师。 朱德在陈毅、王尔琢的陪同下，大步走向迎面而来的毛泽东。两人脸上都是阳光与笑容。 两双手紧紧相握。 “八七”会议前后，中国共产党人在全国发动的武装起义多达百次。其中有黄麻起义、平江起义、桑植起义、渭华起义、百色起义，规模最大的起义是南昌起义、秋收起义和广州起义，虽然都未成功，但是这些起义所点燃的烈火，一直没有熄灭。 井冈山就是一盏硕大的灯笼。里面一直亮着火种。这火种后来就燎原了。二十年后，全国燃成了一片红色。毛泽东和朱德在并肩检阅着这片望不到边的沸腾的红色的时候，他们的双手握着的是北京天安门城楼的光滑的扶栏。 而此刻，这两双手却相握在井冈山。两双手都有些粗糙，掌心有枪械的机油味。 毛泽东与朱德就这样手拉着手，走到山坡上。 阳光满山。朱德说：“好山啊！” 毛泽东指着山峦说：“朱军长，你看，这里方圆足足五百五十里，虽说人口不足两千，产谷不满万担，然而地势险要，风起云生，进宜攻，退宜守，实在是龙藏虎卧之地。从今之后，蒋介石心中最大的石头，就将是这座山了。” “想我朱德，这四十年，也就是这样爬山爬过来的啊。当年，我向陈独秀先生请求参加共产党，参加革命，陈独秀不同意，想不到，今天，我已经站在革命的大山顶上了。” “朱军长啊，你提起陈独秀，倒叫我也想到他了。他可以说是我的老师，我走上布尔什维主义道路，受他影响很大。但是这条道路是一条山路，山路弯弯曲曲非常难走啊，他一时就迷失方向了，现在也不晓得他在山下哪个地方呢。” 朱德一时也沉默了。山风很大，朱德的半个月没有洗的头发飘了起来。朱德后来这样说：“润之啊，山路再崎岖，我们打紧绑腿，一步一步走，终也能走通它的！” “听朱军长这番话，我就知道你我同心了！” 两双大手如山峦相连一样，又紧紧地握在了一起。 中国革命现在走进了山里。若干年后，待它呼啸出山之时，整个东半球都感觉到了隆隆作响的岩浆。
