Chapter 19 Love of Ten Marshals-6

Four of the top ten marshals are called "bosses". Zhu De and Peng Dehuai don't need to explain. He Long was the commander-in-chief of the Nanchang Uprising and the Second Red Army. He has never been the "commander-in-chief" or "commander-in-chief" (he was the commander of the Jiangnan headquarters of the New Fourth Army), but he is called the "boss". Apart from his being the top leader of the New Fourth Army and the three fields, I am afraid that he is mainly easy-going. , The reason is close, just as Teacher Kong has been honored as "Old Kong" since elementary school.The other marshals, Lin Biao's great ability and prestige, can only be called "Mr. Lin". Maybe he is too prestige, Mao Zedong specially sent another Marshal Luo Ronghuan to suppress him.Liu Bocheng was also capable, so Mao Zedong sent Deng Xiaoping, who was even more capable, to suppress him, calling him "Liu and Deng's Army", but Liu Bocheng was so suppressed that he didn't even get the title of "President Liu".However, Xu Xiangqian and Nie Rongzhen had no one to guard them, so they got the titles of "Mr. Xu" and "Mr. Nie".Ye Jianying never led the army alone, so he can't be called "general".Therefore, the ten handsome men can be divided into "four old, three general and three not".

Speaking of Boss Chen's easy-going, you can see that his face is a bit similar to Boss Zhu from Sichuan, and his emotional line is also a bit similar to Boss Zhu.The difference is that there is no murderous look on Chen Yi's face, and he has the demeanor of a Confucian general.Zhu De was a high-achieving student in the military academy, but Chen Yi failed the ranking when he applied for the military academy.Chen Yi is a talented man among the top ten marshals, and almost became a great writer, so his marriage and love experience is also full of romance. Chen Yi, formerly known as Chen Shijun, nicknamed Qiujiang, was born in Lezhi, Sichuan in 1901, and later moved to Chengdu.Influenced by the May 4th Movement while studying, he began to pursue progress and especially loved literature.After he went to France for a work-study program and was escorted back to China for organizing a student movement, he often contributed articles to Chongqing Xinshu Daily, and became the chief writer of the newspaper in 1923.Chen Yi's poems attracted the admiration of more than one woman. One of the unknown beauties expressed "infinite lingering" in a letter after reading his poems.It's a pity that Chen Yi only met this girl once before he was "sent out of the country" by the Sichuan warlord Yang Sen and went to Beijing.

But another beautiful and talented woman was "suffered" by Boss Chen. This person was Hu Lanqi (1901-1994), China's first female general (major general of the Kuomintang), who was known as the "peerless beauty".Hu Lanqi was born after Hu Dahai, the founding official of the Ming Dynasty, and his ancestors specialized in "anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty". He had a simple revolutionary spirit since he was a child.The warlord Yang Sen admired her beauty and wanted to take her as a concubine, but she refused.The writer Mao Dun wrote his first novel after listening to his girlfriend Qin Dejun tell the story. The beautiful and resolute heroine Mei Xingsu in the book is based on Hu Lanqi.Hu Lanqi also met Chen Yi because of his admiration for his poems and essays, leaving behind various legends. Today it is difficult to verify how far the relationship between the two "close friends" developed at that time. In 1924, Hu Lanqi married an officer named Chen Mengyun. The couple covered Chen Yi and did a lot of revolutionary work in the army. In 1927, when the situation was dangerous, Chen Yi left Sichuan for Wuhan again, and Hu Lanqi and his wife also went there successively.On the eve of the Nanchang Uprising, Chen Yi bid farewell to the two, and it lasted 10 years.

Hu Lanqi was expelled by Chiang Kai-shek in 1929, went to Germany to study in 1930, joined the German Communist Party, spent three months in a fascist prison, and fell in love with Lehmann, the leader of the German Communist Party.After he was released from prison, he went to France and wrote the book "In the German Women's Prison", which became famous all over the world.A few years later, she went to the Soviet Union and was deeply loved by the Soviet writer Gorky.Gorky died, Stalin and others carried the coffin, and Hu Lanqi held the coffin.However, due to conflicts with Wang Ming, he was monitored by the KGB, so he returned to China in 1936 and served as He Xiangning's secretary.

(Picture): Major General Hu Lanqi In 1937, when the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated to resist Japan, Chen Yi spent the most difficult years of "his head must be hung on the gate of the country" and served as the leader of the New Fourth Army.In Nanchang, I met Hu Lanqi, the head of the Shanghai Field Service Group who came all the way to promote the propaganda. The two talked about their thoughts all night, so they made a white-headed alliance.Chen Yi reported to his parents and got their consent.However, the organization disagreed. Xiang Ying, the head of the New Fourth Army, personally talked to Hu Lanqi, saying that if the two got married, Hu's party membership would be exposed. Contribute more.The two had no choice but to cry and parted. Chen Yi wrote to Hu Lanqi and said: "The shroud in horse leather is a heroic sacrifice; the calm sacrifice is a silent sacrifice. For the sake of the revolution, we will drink this bitter bar. If we cannot unite within three years, each will be free." , non-interference with each other." Three years later, Chen Yi was "free", but Hu Lanqi drank a cup of bitter wine for the rest of his life.She sacrificed her personal happiness, fought alone on the hidden front, protected her comrades, instigated the enemy, and did the work of a division by herself.Unexpectedly, due to complicated social relations, he sometimes communicated with Kuomintang secret agents, which aroused the suspicion of Pan Hannian, the head of the CCP's intelligence hall. In 1949, Shanghai was liberated and Chen Yi became mayor.Hu Lanqi wrote to see him, but it was Pan Hannian, the deputy mayor, who came and said to Hu Lanqi: "Chen Yi has children, why do you want to find him?" Misunderstood, just kept crying.Because in 1947, the Kuomintang newspapers publicized "Chen Yi's death in battle" and reported in detail the process of "Chen Yi's memorial service".Hu Lanqi was very sad after seeing it, and took out his real estate in Chengdu to support Chen Yi's second elder, and he really regarded himself as a "daughter-in-law".Hu Lanqi never remarried and had children, and adopted her younger sister's daughter.Later, he went to Beijing Institute of Technology to manage the logistics. He was wrongly classified as a rightist, and after rehabilitating, he became a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.With the support of Deng Xiaoping in his later years, he contributed a lot to the cause of the elderly.The international women's circles all admire Hu Lanqi when they talk about it.

(with picture): Middle-aged Hu Lanqi and Chen Yi's relationship trajectory is also bumpy.In 1925, he joined the Beijing Municipal Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang to carry out the labor movement, student movement and united front, especially supporting the women's normal university movement (coinciding with Lu Xun), and won the favor of many female students.A Miss Zhang expressed her love to him, but Chen Yi declined for some reason.Later that Ms. Zhang became a "nationalist". After the Nanchang Uprising and the southern Shonan uprising, Chen Yi went to Jinggangshan and became a capable revolutionary leader.When he served as the commander of the 22nd Red Army in 1930, he married a 19-year-old local female student Xiao Juying (Zhu De’s first wife was Xiao Jufang) in Xinfeng, Jiangxi Province. On the way home, he was attacked by white bandits. The horse died, but the man was alive, so he went back on foot. Unexpectedly, Xiao Juying thought that Chen Yi was dead, and jumped into a well to die in love.Although touching, but this is too fierce.Therefore, I would like to advise fierce men and women all over the world, if they cannot wait 16 years like Yang Guo, if they hear the bad news of their lover, at least 16 days will be fine. (Another theory is that Xiao Juying was attacked by the enemy and jumped into the well after being injured.) Chen Yi wrote the poem "Memory of Death" and said: "The spring mountain is insignificant and what are you? Check out a few poems in the posthumous chapters. The shadows are everywhere, vaguely at the corner of the door. See Bingzi." Chen Yi personally disguised himself and went to report to his father-in-law's house, and invited Xiao Juying's mother and brother to meet him in Shanghai after liberation.It can be seen that Chen Yi treats Xiao Juying deeply.

In 1932, Li Fuchun and Cai Chang and his wife introduced Lai Yueming, an 18-year-old Xingguo female Red Army soldier, to Chen Yi.Chen Yi was the commander and political commissar of the Jiangxi Military Region at the time. He commanded 6 independent divisions and all local armed forces, but he had no money to get married. Lai Yueming borrowed 20 yuan and set up eight banquet tables.It can be seen how clean the Communist Party was at that time!After the two got married, they had a deep and affectionate relationship, but they got together less and parted more. In 1934, after the Long March of the Red Army, Lai Yueming, who served as the Women's Minister of Shicheng County, took care of Chen Yi's leg injury.Chen Yi mobilized her to take the lead in evacuating and returning home to fight guerrillas.Thinking of how bad things will happen this time, life and death, Lai Yueming grabbed the pistol and asked Chen Yi to kill her, Chen Yi took the gun and asked her to obey the overall situation.The two parted with tears on October 20.From then on, Chen Yi commanded guerrilla warfare in the eight southern provinces, and the hardships and hardships can be seen in "Three Chapters of Meiling". In 1937, when the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated to resist Japan, Chen Yi sent people to look for Lai Yueming several times. After learning that Lai Yueming was arrested, he committed suicide by jumping off a cliff in order to resist forced marriage.Chen Yi was overwhelmed, and once wrote a poem "Xingguo Hotel": "The night of traveling in Xingcheng is more desolate, and the moon is bright in front of the broken paper window. The battle is difficult and I am left, and Amon is ashamed of his old friend." This poem was written on the ninth day of the lunar calendar. On the first day of the first month, where did the "moonlight shine through the window" come from?No need for Mr. Kong to say, anyone can see that this poem is a nostalgic memory of "Yueming", which is sincere and touching.

In 1940, the three-year agreement between Chen Yi and Hu Lanqi almost came to an end.Chen Yi, the commander of the first unit of the New Fourth Army, married an 18-year-old girl from Wuhan, Zhang Qian. They lived together and gave birth to the eldest son Chen Haosu, the second son Chen Danhuai, and the third son Chen Xiaolu.Zhang Qian's real name is Zhang Chunlan. When Chen Yi was chasing her, she painstakingly composed a song "Zan Chunlan": "The little arrow contains the birth of the fetus, and it seems to be about to burst into yellow. It is delicate and elegant, and the world is uncomfortable, and it is jealous of the fragrance." After Zhang Qian married Become Chen Yi's right-hand man and emotional bosom friend.During the turbulent years of fighting, the two sometimes chanted poems to express their feelings.Interestingly, Mr. Kong discovered that Mr. Chen wrote a poem expressing his miss for Zhang Qian: "The sound of footsteps often rings in my ears, and the turmoil along the way can never be dreamed of. It's not dawn until four o'clock, and Yueming knows my love at this time. "Yueming" appeared again in the poem, probably thinking of Lai Yueming's "Spirit in Heaven", I hope my ex-wife can understand my mood at this time.However, Zhu Kejing, a cadre of the New Fourth Army, ridiculed Boss Chen’s poem, but wrote: "Why is the general so haggard? Half for orchids and half for Qian." Perhaps the heroes of the world, although affectionate, are inevitably sentimental, especially the unforgettable old love.

(with picture): Chen Yi and Zhang Qian's wedding photo Chen Yi was a member of the "Literary Research Association" in the 1920s, and he was in the same group as Mao Dun, Zhou Zuoren, Zhu Ziqing and others, so his life was full of unexpected "literary nature".In fact, Lai Yueming did not die. After she lost her organizational contact in the battle, she wandered and begged, and was caught by her father and sold to a shoemaker. The shoemaker died the next year. She found a wounded and lagging Red Army to marry and gave birth to a daughter and two sons. In 1959, she saw a photo of Chen Yi meeting foreign guests and wanted to find Chen Yi, but her husband and children stopped her. When Chen Yi passed away in 1972, Lai Yueming heard Chen Yi's obituary from the loudspeaker of the production team, burned incense and sent a message of condolence.When reading Chen Yi's "Xingguo Hotel", Lai Yueming burst into tears.It was not until 1988 that she went to Beijing to meet Cai Chang, chairman of the All-China Women's Federation. In the spring of 1989, 74-year-old Lai Yueming was interviewed by reporters, and the world knew that Mr. Chen's "Yueming" was still alive.As for these, Chen Yi didn't know, and it was impossible to know.

Boss Chen is capable of literary and military skills, and is not lacking in intelligence and wisdom, but because of his straightforward temperament, his speech is sometimes exciting and sometimes troublesome.For example, regarding the question of who commanded the Huaihai Campaign and who contributed the most, there are currently five factions: the most powerful faction says that Su Yu contributed the most, and the key decision-making and commanding were carried out independently by Su Yu; there are others who support Liu Bocheng and Chen Yi The two factions, one said that Liu Bocheng had the worst equipment but wiped out the most enemies. Shuai Cai, without Chen Yi, Su Yu can do nothing; the fourth faction supports Deng. After the death of the second general and the first general, Deng Xiaoping said: "I commanded the Huaihai Campaign." To be the secretary of the General Front Committee has the final decision-making power, and the second general and the first general actually obey him, and there is the irrefutable proof that "Deng Xiaoping is the only one who has commanded two field armies at the same time" by Lao Mao himself. The current official conclusion; there is also a fifth faction that believes that the Communist Army in East China and the Central Plains has always been superior in numbers but tied in victory and defeat for three years, until Lin Biao wiped out the strongest main force of the national army and disrupted its overall deployment. The battle of Huaihai was narrowly won after a series of shots, otherwise Du Yu knew that Chongxi would join forces to capture Liu Deng and Chen Suye alive, so Lin Biao contributed the most.This point of view is too extreme. In Teacher Kong's view, it has the taste of "five senses competing for merit".Mr. Chen summed it up exquisitely: "The victory of the Huaihai Campaign was launched by the people of Shandong with small carts." 5 million migrant workers who don't know what "laid-off" is!

But sometimes Chen Yi spoke in a daze, regardless of his identity.When the rebels in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs fought against him in the early days of the Cultural Revolution, both Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai secretly protected him. Mao Zedong said internally that he would protect two people in his life, one was Zhu De and the other was Chen Yi.But as soon as Chen Yi passed the review, he announced to the crowd at the airport: "My previous review was a fake review, and it was Jiang Qing who forced me to review it."He also challenged the Red Guards face to face: "Opposing Chairman Mao is not necessarily counter-revolutionary, and supporting him is not necessarily revolutionary. I think Chairman Mao's big-character posters can also be posted. Chairman Mao is also a screw. He used to be the number one in Hunan. Teacher Fan is a student, what does he have? He is not an ordinary student. Lin Biao is nothing special. He was my subordinate in the past... I am an old athlete. I am not afraid of 59 universities in Beijing and one or two hundred universities across the country coming to arrest me!" Lao Mao just smiled when he heard Chen Yi's "reactionary remarks", because he knew that he had this character and had no conspiracy or ambition.But then Chen Yi joined forces with Ershuai Ye Xu and Boss Tan in "February Against the Current" to face the Prime Minister and Mr. Kang, scolding the Cultural Revolution Team, slapping tables and benches. Those who didn't know the inside story thought they were going to launch a remonstrance.Mao Zedong was furious when he heard the news, and said with his unique "Mao's rhetoric": "Jiang Qing and Chen Boda were shot, Kang Sheng was exiled into the army, and Chen Yilai was asked to be the team leader, Xu Xiangqian and Tan Zhenlin were the deputy team leaders. Just invite the United States and the Soviet Union to come." Only Chen Yi has the ability to make Lao Mao so angry.But after Mao Zedong's anger passed, he still saved Chen Yi.In 1970, at the Second Lushan Conference, Chen Yi, who was the vice chairman of the Military Commission, followed Chen Boda to say that Chairman Mao was a genius, and he agreed with Mao as the chairman of the country. .But the result is still not dangerous, because Chen Yi has always discussed the facts, and he can treat Mao Lin, Liu Deng fairly, neither form a party for personal gain, nor add insult to injury.He was not opposed to the Cultural Revolution, but only opposed to chaos and criticism.It seems that as long as people are selfless, it doesn't matter if they say the wrong thing a few times. Later, when Chen Yi passed away, Mao Zedong was too ill to get into the car, but he attended his memorial service for the first time and bowed deeply three times.Mao Zedong had the most common famous saying: "Chen Yi is a good comrade." Maybe it's because Chen Yi is a pure and infatuated person, and he is the most humorous and literary commander among the ten marshals.
