Chapter 18 Love of Ten Marshals-5

The last time I wrote Liu Shuai's blog post, I received everyone's support and understanding, and I am deeply grateful.As for the debate about which general deserves the most credit, this has been a topic that has persisted since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there are even more quarrels on relevant websites today.There are personal hobbies, but also the influence of regionalism, mountainism, and sectarianism.But in my opinion, this kind of debate is generally beneficial. They are all founding fathers, and they are not ordinary people. They also have shortcomings and deficiencies of one kind or another. Respect, but also through the debate to further deepen the understanding of modern history and military history, but also exercise the ability of comprehensive analysis and judgment.

Note the following points. One is not to belittle and slander others just to elevate someone.It's just like not to scold Gu Li for nothing just to prove that Chang Hao's Go level is high.The standard among the masters is only a mere half an eye away.The champion is precious, the runner-up is also highly accomplished, the founding of the country has gone through hundreds of battles, and everyone is a hero. The second is not to be overconfident in the materials you have mastered, and let people "read history again" at every turn.Anyone who speaks like this has never read a few serious history books.Look at real historians, how can they talk like this?Those who read some so-called "materials" online can only win the "Bold Speak" award, but they must be modest and cautious.For example, when talking about the founding marshal, I started reading the "Red Flag Fluttering" series collected by my father in the 1970s, and I thought I was a master.Later, I met a more advanced person, who read it from the tabloids in the Soviet area in the 1930s.Holding a hundred-yuan bill in hand, scolding others for not having seen the bill is just showing pettiness.

The third is to look at history with suspicion, and not to follow one possibility and forget about other possibilities.For example, the old Mao sent Deng Xiaoping to be Liu Bocheng's political commissar. It may be that Liu Bocheng is not capable enough and cannot lead Deng's troops without Deng's troops;It may also have nothing to do with the size of the ability, but a matter of balance between the "students who stayed in the Soviet Union" and the "scholars who stayed in France".It may also be a matter of party spirit. Mao let Liu Deng’s army enter the Dabie Mountains. It was obvious that he was attracting heavy troops from the national army, sacrificing the middle field, and covering Huaye and Dongye. , we both sacrificed, and as long as Lin Biao is still alive, the whole of China will still be liberated!" This realm is something that none of the top ten marshals have.So after Lin Biao was determined to be the successor, Lao Mao soon regretted it, saying that Deng Xiaoping had a strong party spirit and was a leader.Of course, there are other possibilities, such as the old contradictions of the First and Fourth Front Army, Liu Bocheng's body, Liu Shuai's pure militarism, and the native places and mountain tops of the main cadres, etc.In the absence of hard evidence, "doubt" is the most scientific attitude.

The name He Long (1896-1969), according to "Dongbo's divine appearance", was born to be a general.The more turbulent the torrent, the more ambitious it can be.And if the world is peaceful and the swords and guns are put into storage, it will inevitably lead to "blockage of the middle focus and difficulty in breathing".I don't know if my friends have noticed that among the standard portraits of the top ten marshals, only Mr. He always has a beard.Although majestic, but if you look closely, the layout of the beard and eyebrows reveals a "malignity". Mao Zedong praised He Long: Two kitchen knives made a revolution, and one person brought out an army.Mr. He is always from Sangzhi in Xiangxi, and he belongs to the Bai nationality in terms of blood.He was born in a reckless family and joined the caravan when he was young. When he was 10 years old, he married Xu Yuegu, a 17-year-old child bride, and later consummated the house and gave birth to a daughter, He Jinlian.A few years later, Xu Yuegu died of illness, and He Long has been living a life of drinking blood in the rivers and lakes.There are many versions of the story about "two kitchen knives". It is generally said that he wields two kitchen knives and leads 10 or so strong buddies to attack the officers and soldiers, and pulls up a team that shocked western Hunan.The authoritative version should be He Long's resume filled in the "Seventh National Congress". "At the end of 1917, he used two kitchen knives to develop a team of more than a hundred people and served as the guerrilla commander of the first commander-in-chief of the Hubei Army." In 1920, He Long's father He was intercepted and killed by bandits, and his younger brother was steamed to death. According to the custom of Sangzhi, the clan had to remarry He Long during the funeral in order to have children, which is called "funeral marriage".In this way, He Long married Xiang Yuangu, a Tujia girl.During the warlord years, He Long went from the battalion commander to the guardian envoy of Fengzhou, and took Hu Qinxian, who was born as an artist, as his concubine.This is commonplace in the old army.After He Long participated in the Nanchang Uprising, he brought his family to Shanghai.Later Xiang Yuangu returned home from Shanghai and died of illness in 1929.Hu Qinxian and He Jinlian were imprisoned because the Communist Party office where they lived was uncovered, and Jinlian was tortured to death.After cooperating with the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the organization rescued Hu Qinxian from prison, returned to his hometown under a pseudonym, and settled in Chengdu in his later years.

Later, He Long founded the revolutionary base in western Hunan and Hubei and became the commander-in-chief of the Second Red Front Army (He Long was the "commander-in-chief" during the Nanchang Uprising, but he had no real power at that time, and he was not even a party member. The title "Boss He" should originate from this) .Before the Long March, He Long and General Xiao Ke (the first general of New China) respectively married a pair of student sisters from merchant families. He Long married his sister Jian Xianren, and Xiao Ke married his younger sister Jian Xianfo.Jian Xianren's first child gave birth to a daughter, Honghong, who unfortunately died in a difficult and dangerous environment. In November 1935, He Long won a big victory. General Wang Zhen sent a congratulatory message, which read: "Congratulations to the Vice Chairman for giving birth to a mortar." It turns out that Comrade Jian Xianren, the first female Red Army in Western Hunan, gave birth to One daughter, this is the later female general He Jiesheng (named by Xiao Ke).He Jiesheng followed his father on the Long March just 18 days after he was born. He is known as the youngest member of the Little Red Army. It seems that he is indeed ordered by a general.It's a pity that He Huzi and Mrs. Jian didn't get along with each other later, and Jian Xianren, like He Zizhen, went north to the Soviet Union.Nowadays, if women want to dump their husbands, they usually go to the United States and Japan. At that time, they went to the Soviet Union. Anyway, they all think that foreign countries are heaven.Jian Xianren was 13 years younger than He Long, and later returned to Northeast China to work. He served as a district chief in Harbin, and was transferred to Wuhan and the Central Committee. He lived to be 95 years old until his death in 2004.

(Picture): Jian Xianren, an old man After He Long divorced Jian Xianren, in 1942, he married Comrade Xue Ming, a girl from Tianjin who was 20 years younger than him and head of the organization of the Yan'an County Party Committee.Originally, He Long was there to intercede for Lin Biao, and asked Xue Ming to do his job as a good friend of Ye Qun, and asked Ye Qun not to show Lin Biao's love letter around, making a dignified member of the Central Committee feel ashamed.He Long asked Xue Ming to tell Ye Qun: "If you like Lin Biao, marry Lin Biao. If you don't like Lin Biao, don't make it public. Tell her that's what I said. The old revolutionaries fought north and south, went through life and death, and it's hard work. Wanting to ask for a wife, but being teased and teased, is it immoral?" I didn't expect that Ye Qun and Lin Biao didn't need their help, but they did help me.Lin Biao and Ye Qun got married on "July 1st" back then, and He Long and Xue Ming rushed to the end of their honeymoon. The marriage on "August 1st" can also be regarded as the 15th anniversary of the Nanchang Uprising for He Long, the commander-in-chief of the "August 1st Riot". commemorate it.

He Huzi has traveled all over the world for decades, and he has never seen any woman (there are rumors in the Jianghu that Boss He had nine wives and concubines before he joined the revolution, which is an exaggerated novelist's statement), but Xue Ming really conquered his heart.Once when giving a report at a conference, He Long actually said casually: "I, He Long, have dedicated everything to the party, including life and property. Only the beauty in Tsing Yi, Xue Ming, belongs to me!"This is also comparable to Ye Qun's love letters showing Lin Biao everywhere. In September 1944, when the rain was pouring down, Mao Zedong called He Huzi to congratulate him on his half-baked son.It turned out that Xue Ming gave birth to his son He Pengfei (named by Guan Xiangying), and later He Xiaoming.Mr. He is always a life in the world. Although he is in love with Xue Ming, he rarely takes care of his family.He is not as stubborn as Peng Dehuai when he speaks, but he is more reckless than Peng Dehuai, and he often doesn't know what to say.For example, he said to Lin Biao during the rectification movement in Yan'an: "Your wife has problems, and Xue Ming exposed them. The exposure was good. You have to be vigilant. My wife has problems, and your wife can also expose them." Mao Zedong also applied to the Central Committee , wanting to marry Jiang Qing, the central leaders objected, only He Long roared and said: "It's a dignified chairman, what's so great about asking for a woman, whoever talks about me will shoot him!" like a woman.No wonder Chairman Mao mainly asked him to take care of sports after the founding of the People's Republic of China. He Huzi was too naive in politics.

When He Long married Xue Ming, his status in the party was higher than that of Lin Biao.However, Lin Biao's official position became bigger and bigger, and finally reached the sky, while He Long's official position became smaller and smaller, and he tried to eat a pig's ear before he died, but he didn't succeed.However, he finally got a lifelong partner who is close and intimate. Some people said that Xue Ming brought the water from Jinmen to moisten Boss He, the dragon of Xiangxi, which is very true. At the end of 1973, Mao Zedong said at the Military Commission that He Long's affairs were "wrong", saying, "I listened to Lin Biao's one-sided remarks, so I made a mistake." A bow, it is said that each bow has a meaning, what is the meaning, with the current scientific research level of Dongbo Academy, it is still impossible to explain it accurately.
