Chapter 9 4. The disciple of Mr. Mao Runzhi is here

In the distant sighs, I always see groups of scattered soldiers, like ants whose nests have been overturned, crawling in panic on the eastern Henan plain.When the night covered the boundless wilderness, the dark night was dotted with dots of bonfires, the air was filled with the burnt smell of burning straw and cotton firewood, and the sound of icy gunshots rushed into the sky from time to time. The uncle also came to the guest room.He has already accepted the letter of appointment from General Cheng Qian, the commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang's first war zone. He bought a yellow military uniform for ten yuan now and put it on. Student guerrillas lived in the guest house.Qidi's "Local Chronicles" told me that it was the first anti-Japanese guerrilla group in Qidi, and the party secretary and county party committee members in Qidi Central Committee of the Communist Party of China were hidden in this guerrilla group. "Local Chronicles" also gifted my uncle with a few marks of fairness and enthusiasm: descendants of aristocratic families, progressive intellectuals, and members of the Kuomintang with a sense of justice.As a result, the Qidi Central County Party Committee of the Communist Party hidden in the guerrillas was protected by a Kuomintang member who was also a "democracy movement instructor" and his family.The third grandfather took a pistol from the "housekeeping team" and gave it to my uncle.As soon as he turned around, he pinned it on the belt of the secretary of the county party committee of the underground center of the Communist Party, leaving only an empty holster for himself, and stuffed it with a wooden gun.He pressed his right hand on the empty holster and moved like the wind, like a general facing a decisive battle.

In the Datong Garden next to the guest room courtyard, the guerrillas were also practicing with wooden guns.The sound of shouting and killing jumped to the poplar leaves, and the frightened young cicada uttered a piercing cry, pulled out a loud arc, and fluttered down on a poplar tree beside me. It was a tall and straight poplar tree.The wind blows over the treetops, and the leaves clap their hands rustlingly.I always stand under the poplar tree and look for my uncle.Sixty years later, I found him again in the "Memoirs" of a general.He was running on the wild plain, looking for another red armed force whose whereabouts were unknown.The general was the military minister of the Central County Committee of the Communist Party of Qidi at that time. He raised a guerrilla team with only twelve farmers and four guns, but lost contact with the Central County Committee and could not find a place to stay.When my uncle found the guerrilla group, the guerrilla group was attacked by the Kuomintang security group and had just been disarmed.The uncle in KMT military uniform put his right hand on the empty gun holster and personally led the guerrillas to break into the KMT county office in exile. He pointed to the county magistrate's nose and said, "Are you a traitor to the Japanese, or a county magistrate to the Chinese?" Mayor?" The county magistrate said: "Sir Meng, please speak carefully if you have something to say, and don't label it as a traitor!" The uncle patted his empty gun holster and said, "I am not a son but a warrior. If you are not a traitor, why did you disarm the Anti-Japanese Armed Forces?" The county magistrate said: "I have reliable information that they are red elements." The uncle said: "Now that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are cooperating to resist Japan, they are red elements. What can you do to them?" The county magistrate turned his face and said: "Now, The bandits recruited troops under the banner of the Anti-Japanese War, and dozens of commanders appeared at once. Can you tell who is the real anti-Japanese armed force?" The uncle pointed to the badge on his chest and said, "I am under the command of the Commander of the First Theater Command. This guerrilla force is the anti-Japanese armed force I just formed." The uncle patted the empty gun holster again, "Would you please come with me to the commander's headquarters?" The county magistrate hastily changed his words: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding !” Immediately returned all the weapons of the guerrillas.The general recalled that the guerrillas also took the opportunity to ask for more than 200 rounds of ammunition.Uncle's holster opened his mouth because of his continuous slaps, revealing a fake wooden gun.As soon as he came out of the county office in exile, the general hurriedly closed the holster for him.The uncle complained: "Why didn't you remind me earlier? I said that the security team robbed my Browning, asked him to double the compensation, and then took away his heavy machine gun!"

Uncle had just brought the peasant guerrillas to the guest house to join the student guerrillas. Qi Chu was wearing a tube-shaped straw hat and a teacher's blue cloth gown, covering his identity as secretary of the East Henan Special Committee of the Communist Party of China. Alone, he came to the guest room where he had been away for eleven years.The uncle slapped his hands and called him by his nickname: "Brother Dianzhang, I finally expected you to come! Look, your comrades are waiting for you in the guest room!" The third grandfather also said happily: "Little Dianzhang! , you came back with bare hands, aren’t you afraid of devils?” Qi Chu said: “Third Teacher is not afraid, I am not afraid.” He also called my uncle’s nickname and said, “Brother Cheng is not afraid, I am not afraid. I am here to ask Third Teacher , build an anti-Japanese armed force in eastern Henan." The third grandpa said, "Okay, there will be a new story in my guest room!"

Whether Qi Chu was the leader of the peasant riots in eastern Henan and the secretary of the Eastern Henan Special Committee, or as the governor of H province after the founding of New China, the first secretary of the CCP H provincial committee, and a member of the CCP Central Committee, Qi Chu has always been a person who is amazing and also a member of the CPC Central Committee. Creepy, suspenseful, and fiercely controversial characters.This rebel, who was born in a rural doctor's family in Qidi and joined the Communist Party of China in 1925, enveloped his grandfather and his elder brothers with his pedantic, loyal and humble smile and his erratic figure like a knight-errant. the whole family.

In 1956, before Qi Chu was elected as a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, in his "Autobiography" written to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, he specifically mentioned the "new private school" of my grandfather and second grandfather, saying that he accepted the The enlightenment of communism.My grandfather said to me in great panic: "Where is where? Your second grandfather and I just provided Xiaodianzhang with the possibility to choose between various 'isms'. I know you are a good student of Mr. Mao." Grandpa always called Chairman Mao "Mr. Runzhi" in private conversations. After returning from the sixth semester.He told my grandfather that Mr. Runzhi asked him: "You are a scumbag, do you worry about the sky?" Qi Chu said in a Qidi accent: "How can you not worry? You can't sleep at night." Mr. Runzhi said: "God If it is going to collapse, it cannot be lifted up. Don’t worry about people who are unreasonable, just go back and change the world.” When parting, Mr. Runzhi sang Jiang Yan’s "Farewell Fu" to say goodbye to his disciples.Grandpa looked from a distance through the window and chanted with his beard: "The one who is sad and ecstasy is the only one who is different!..." With tears in his eyes, he commented to me: "That is to say, the expression is so sad that the soul dissipates. Yes, there is only parting sorrow! From this we can see how deep the relationship between Mr. Runzhi and his disciples is!"

Grandpa said that in 1927, Qi Chu went to Wuhan for another meeting, and after listening to Mr. Runzhi's "Investigation Report on the Peasant Movement in Hunan", he resolutely returned to Qidi and launched a peasant uprising, taking Qidi County in one fell swoop, and then Went to Chenliu County to negotiate with Zhu Jianzhong, the magistrate of the Feng Dynasty, and entered the Chenliu County Government Office with only his entourage Wang Fuxing and four or five uprising soldiers.Zhu Jianzhong received a secret order to take advantage of the negotiation to arrest and kill Qi Chu in the lobby of the county government.Qi Chu entered the county government office, and there was no one in the huge courtyard, but he saw the lights of knives flickering in the side building, and the spirit of murder rushed towards his face.Wang Fuxing signaled to flee quickly, but the gate of the county government closed behind him, and several cold-faced gunmen suddenly blocked the way back.Qi Chu remained calm, and while whispering to Wang Fuxing with a smile, he walked straight into the hall waving a plantain fan.Zhu Jianzhong stretched out his hand to say hello, Qi Chu took his hand and held it tightly, Wang Fuxing also firmly grasped Zhu Jianzhong's arm, and pressed the blade against his throat.Zhu Jianzhong was shocked.Qi Chu said: "I'm sorry, you want me to be slaughtered in the name of negotiation. I'm not enough friends, so I have to let you "lead my neck" to send me off. Please call off your gunmen." The rebel soldiers tightly wrapped Zhu Jianzhong out of the lobby.The gunmen in ambush jumped out one after another.Zhu Jianzhong hurriedly shouted: "Don't shoot, don't shoot!" Wang Fuxing forced Zhu Jianzhong with the tip of a knife, and the rebel soldiers guarded Qi Chu and went straight to the back door.Zhu Jianzhong struggled to break free and climbed over the wall to escape, but was stabbed to death by Wang Fuxing on the top of the wall.The county government was in chaos.Qi Chu followed the soldiers across the city and hid in the green gauze tent.Grandpa called me "Little!" and sighed, "From now on, you can't treat the small palace chapters as a scholar!"

Grandpa also asked me: "Small, do you know where Jiang Yan who wrote "Farewell Fu" is from?" I shook my head.Grandpa said: "He is from Kaocheng County, a neighbor of Qidi. Kaocheng and Lanfeng have now merged into Lankao County. Coincidentally, after Qi Chu led the peasant riots, he was wanted and hid here for several months. I ran to Jiang Yan’s hometown Kaocheng County to hide and became the principal of the high school. Not long after, he went to the provincial capital to look for me. I saw him frowning, and asked him, why, is Jiang Yan exhausted? He said, it’s not good, The four comrades who were hidden in the school with him were arrested by the county magistrate. He heard that a murder notice was about to be posted, so I asked the teacher to try to rescue him. I said, it’s not too late! But I still have to test your knowledge of Chinese culture , How about you write a defense statement in my lawyer’s name? He stayed up all night and wrote a wonderful article, which began with: 'Whoo! Dou E's injustice will reappear in Kaocheng!' The case is that the local factions in Kaocheng are fighting for power and profit, and the sects of polygamy love and the dispute between men and women. Four teachers who speak up for righteousness become sacrifices. I said, okay, I will give you ninety points, and the remaining ten points will be decided by the provincial court. Don't give me face. The president of the provincial court is my classmate at the Beijing Higher School of Political Science and Law. He accepted the defense statement and hurriedly transferred the case to the provincial court for trial. Within half a month, "Kaocheng Dou'e" was brought to justice. Qi Chu and four men 'Dou'e' hastily fled to the west of Henan to rebel." Grandpa laughed with his beard, "That year there was a severe drought, I said, Xiaodian Zhangxiu escaped, you owed me a 'June Snow', when Return me? He bowed and said, winter, winter!"

"What's going on here?" Grandpa stroked his beard and asked himself, "How did I have an indissoluble bond with communism? Wang Fuxing, who stabbed the county magistrate to death, was also a good student in the 'New Private School' , shy by nature, but he did not expect that he also joined the Communist Party. Taking the head of the county magistrate in the chaos is like picking a bag. I really dare not treat him as a disciple! I just let them read Marx's communist theory, see Just look at Tai Shigong's "Biographies of Rangers" and "Biographies of Assassins." Grandpa shook his head and sighed, saying that after the failure of the uprising, Wang Fuxing was murdered by evil gentry, and his wife and daughter lived on the streets of Kaifeng.The daughter's nickname is Bai Ni, and she is a beauty of Qidi with both good looks and good looks.Grandpa saw that her mother and son had no food and clothing, and saw that Nan Hanchen, then director of the Henan Provincial Department of Finance, was upright and personable.Grandpa arranged for Bai Ni to meet Nan Hanchen.They fell in love at first sight, fell in love at second sight, and settled for life at third sight.When Qi Chu saw my grandfather, he bowed and bowed, and said, "Thank you, Teacher Four!" Grandpa said, "Why thank me?" I know that Nan Hanchen is also an underground member of the CCP, that is, Nan Hanchen who served as the governor of the People's Bank of China after the founding of the People's Republic of China.Grandpa sighed and said: "It's time and fate! Since your second grandfather and I have invited the 'Communist Specter' to Qi State, I am destined to complete the work for its disciples."
