Chapter 42 Chapter Three: The Life-Saving Angel in the Red Army——Fu Lianjun

For Fu Lianjun, the director of the Central Red Hospital, the arduous Long March was indeed the most practical and vivid exercise and test.Before that, whether he was the dean of the Tingzhou Gospel Hospital or the dean of the Central Red Hospital in the Central Soviet Area, he lived in a relatively peaceful environment and worked in a quiet hospital.From the beginning of the Long March, the tense struggle, the arduous test, and the baptism of artillery fire are no longer hearsay, but I have gone deep into it as a member. At the beginning of the Long March, he was placed in the column of Red Stars formed by some comrades from the Party Central Committee and the Soviet government.Considering that he is weak and not good at riding a horse, the leader arranged for him to sit in a sedan chair, and he became anxious when he heard it.

"Sit in a sedan chair? Don't be joking, I want to walk like my comrades!" "Sit in a sedan chair" can be said to have touched a sensitive nerve in Fu Lianjun. When Fu Lianjun accepted Mao Zedong's suggestion and moved the Gospel Hospital from Tingzhou, Fujian to Ruijin, the "red capital" and renamed it the Central Red Hospital, he also went there by sedan chair.Even though it was arranged by the party, people who didn't know the truth clearly expressed their dissatisfaction: "Scared, what sir? He even sat in a sedan chair!" Yes, in such a difficult environment, a Red Army soldier sitting in a sedan chair came unexpectedly. The Red Army soldiers are obviously not used to it.

Coupled with his British gentleman-like demeanor and his unrealistic and strict requirements for medical work, when left-leaning putschism dominated, the Central Soviet Area began to clean up the AB group (that is, the "communist eradication group" or "anti-communist group") Regiment", AB is the abbreviation of "anti-Bolshevik" in English), he began to suffer. There is such a kind of people in the Chinese Communist Party. They think that they have a good background, a clean history, and are loyal to the party, so they automatically take on the so-called work of protecting the purity of the party.Almost everyone who passed by him would put a question mark: Are they comrades or enemies?He has no concept of "friends" in mind.

When they learned that the Gospel Hospital was sponsored by the British Church and that Fu Lianjun was also a Christian, they doubted Fu Lianjun’s great contribution to the red medical work: “Why did he become a Red Army soldier? Ruijin? Why does a Christian believe in communism?" Finally, Fu Lianjun lost his position as dean and was forced to wear the hat of the AB regiment.The next step is to be shot.At this time, Mao Zedong had lost power and could not help him.When several people broke into his room and wanted to take him to the Ministry of Justice for a formal trial, thanks to a phone call from Zhang Wentian, he was rescued from gunpoint.

Therefore, when he heard that he was going to be allowed to sit in a sedan chair again, he felt a hundred reluctances in his heart.However, the comrades in the Central Committee told him that this strategic shift is far away and the future is dangerous. He is weak and does not know how to ride a horse or sit in a sedan chair.He had to sit in the sedan chair. This is a small team of 20 people.Walking in the front is an ordinary "civilian sedan chair", in which Fu Lianjun, a medical authority of the Red Hospital, sits. The bearer is a Red Army soldier, followed by 8 large boxes. The passing Red Army soldiers were all amazed when they saw this special team.

"Good guy, who are these people?" "So many things, are they marching or doing business?" In fact, these 8 big boxes are not filled with gold and silver treasures, but more precious than gold and silver treasures. Drugs that save lives. Hearing these comments from the Red Army soldiers, Fu Lianyun made up his mind to train himself to be like a Red Army soldier.Therefore, as soon as he arrived at the station, in addition to seeing a doctor, he practiced horseback riding.Who knows, horses can also deceive students! He rode well when the owner was present, but not when the owner walked away, and the horse seemed to be making fun of him on purpose.

Once, when he was walking slowly on his horse, the horse suddenly started to gallop, and no matter how hard he reined in, it didn't work. The horse ran faster and faster, so he had to hold on to the slow rope tightly, and leaned on the horse, not daring to move.It was not until some comrades found out that they reined in the horse. He hurriedly got off the horse, and his heart was still beating wildly after a long time. Another time, the horse was very honest and obedient.Fu Lianjun rode on it, and it could do whatever it wanted, which can be said to be very handy.Unexpectedly, the beast suddenly ran towards the stable. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and hurriedly leaned on the horse's back, otherwise, the door frame would have been hit with a black nose and a swollen face.

It is often said that Ma Tong is human.In order to build a good relationship with Ma, Fu Lianyun spent a lot of thought.He often left a little bread, rice balls, or a small piece of salt for the horse to eat, and he also learned to walk the horse and groom the horse. Finally, he got rid of the annoying sedan chair and started to march on horseback. Because he has not been tested by the flames of war, Fu Lianjun was often at a loss when he first faced danger. One day, they were walking in a winding ravine. The dark green mountains on both sides and the gurgling stream in the ravine reminded them of the mountains and rivers of their hometown.Suddenly, an enemy plane rushed out from between the two mountains, and "da da da" was a burst of fire.

"Hidden!" shouted the commander. But Fu Lianyun didn't know how to hide it, and stood there blankly. "Follow me!" At this moment, a person hurried over and dragged him into the grove.Fu Lianyun took a closer look, and it turned out to be Zhou Enlai. "Doctor Fu, are you not used to such a tense environment?" Zhou Enlai asked with a concerned smile. He didn't know how to answer, so he smiled embarrassedly. "You will get used to it!" Zhou Enlai waved his hand, "No one is born to fight!" After hearing what Zhou Enlai said, Fu Lianyun was very moved. He nodded firmly, turned around and ran to the team.

The medicine, it used up so fast. When the troops broke through the enemy's third blockade line and arrived at Yizhang, He Cheng told him that it seemed that the Red Army troops would not be able to stand in Hunan, and they still had to go, and the road might still be quite long.He also said that a group of seriously wounded people had to be placed locally and covered and cared for by the guerrillas. "I don't have much medicine anymore." Hearing that the journey was hopeless, Fu Lianjun immediately felt the seriousness of the problem. "The medicine must be replenished as best it can be," he thought.However, they stayed in Yizhang for a short time, and the town was poor, so they didn't get any good medicine.This must have disappointed him.So he had no choice but to take measures to control the amount of medicines used, especially expensive good medicines, which must be reserved for the heads of the central government and patients in urgent need, and they cannot be prescribed casually.

In an unexpected place, Fu Lianyun got some urgently needed medicines. One day, the troops passed by a multi-ethnic town in western Hunan.Although there are big trees and deep ditches here, and the traffic is inconvenient, there is a pretty good church.Because Fu Lianyun was worried about finding medicine, he asked his fellow villagers where he could buy medicine as soon as he arrived in the town.The fellow told him that there is a nun in the church at the west end of the town who sees a doctor, and she must have a lot of medicine there. Fu Lianjun made up his mind to visit.That night, he ate brown rice and drank a bowl of noodle soup, and walked straight to church. This is a typical Gothic building with a cross at the top of a small steeple.In the afterglow of the setting sun, the entire church looks like a silhouette, and with the orange candlelight from the two windows, it reveals a bit of tranquility and sanctity. Fu Lianjun stretched out his hand, "Crack!" "Crack!" There was no response. After two more shots, there was a sound of kicking and walking inside, which sounded like an old man.Sure enough, the person who opened the door was a Chinese old man in his fifties. He was holding a candle in his right hand. When he saw a Red Army standing in front of him, he was startled: "Do you want—?" The nun came to see the doctor, is she there?" The old man looked Fu Lianjun up and down, and found that he looked good and didn't bring any knives or guns, so he felt relieved and said quickly: "Please come in, please come in, Miss Jin Li is drinking tea." After the old man finished speaking, he closed the door again and led Fu Lianyun through the empty hall of the church and into a room behind.By candlelight, a blonde girl is facing a large statue of Jesus and slowly sipping tea with her back to the door. "Miss Jin, there is a Red Army asking you to see a doctor." After the old man finished speaking, he retreated respectfully. "I have never treated pagans." The nun whose nationality could not be guessed from her name had a chill in her voice. "I am a Christian!" At this time, Fu Lianjun no longer believed in God, but because he had not yet joined the Communist Party of China, he was considered a "Christian" by name.But he felt that it was inappropriate to say this, so he added: "At least I used to be, and I didn't come to see a doctor." Fu Lianjun's strange answer aroused the nun's curiosity. "Ever?" She turned around abruptly.Under the candlelight, her high nose took up almost half of her face, and her blue eyes shone with indifference and doubt. "I am a doctor, and I used to be the director of Tingzhou Gospel Hospital. I passed by on the march today, and I came here to visit." Fu Lianjun introduced himself. "Oh, so you're in the same company." A smile flashed on the corner of her mouth, but a layer of mist immediately covered her face, "But you must have betrayed the Lord's teachings by joining the Red Army." "Humanitarianism, Ma'am, humanitarianism should make us friends." "Humanitarianism?" She spread her hands, "MyGod! You are such a strange gentleman!" Humanitarianism and saving human beings have become their common topic, which can be regarded as the same. .In the days when the Red Army was defeated and the Kuomintang shouted "Suppress the Communists", Miss Jin could not have shown great enthusiasm for our team.But she is very interested in Fu Lianjun's experience, and under the banner of "charity", she also expressed her willingness to do something within her capacity. The topic comes to medicine. Ms. Jin was so confused: "This country is in a mess right now. The postal service and transportation are basically paralyzed. It is very difficult for me to get some medicine here!" "Of course," Fu Lianjun said, "I understand, but my colleagues You can't stand by and watch my patients suffer, can you?" "Okay," Miss Jin sighed, "For God's sake!" "For the sake of the patients." Fu Lianjun added. "I don't agree with some of your Red Army's actions." She showed a cold expression again, "Why do you oppose religion? I heard that you destroyed many churches and temples along the way." "That's misinformation," Fu Lianjun explained, "The Communist Party is an atheist, but it advocates freedom of religious belief. Of course, there may be individual people who violate policies and disciplines, but they will be punished, because this is not the purpose of the Communist Party." With Ms. Jin, Fu Lianjun finally I got some medicines, some of which are urgently needed, such as quinine pills, berberine and so on. It's another ordinary marching day, and it's almost the border of Guizhou. At this time, the troops were marching on a narrow mountain road that was only 2 feet wide. There was a fast-flowing river at the bottom of the ditch beside the road, and the roar of the river could be heard from a long distance away.There were too many troops walking in a hurry, and stretchers, animals, and luggage carriers were added, and the road was extremely crowded. While walking, someone suddenly yelled "Oops", and then yelled again: "It's no good, Dean Fu fell into the river!" It turned out that seeing that the mountain road was very crowded, Fu Lianjun deliberately moved out of the way to let the troops Let's go first, but his riding skills are not very good at this time. Looking at the rapids below, he felt a little dizzy. It happened that the horse's hoof stepped on the soft soil, and as a result, people, horses and luggage fell off with a "crash". In the river, he immediately lost consciousness. Seeing this scene, several Red Army soldiers had no time to think, so they slid down the steep river bank in a hurry, "plop", "plop" and jumped into the river for rescue. Fortunately, Fu Lianjun fell on the shoal by the river and only choked on a few sips of water, so he was fine.But the horse fell into the deep water. It struggled up and down in the rapids a few times, and was swallowed by the ruthless river water together with the luggage and the small medicine box on the horse's back. Several Red Army soldiers surrounded Fu Lianjun, strangled him, gave him artificial respiration, flustered for a while, and he finally woke up.He staggered to his feet, shook his wet clothes, looked at the nervous look of the guard, and comforted him, "Don't worry, let's go on foot if we don't have a horse. Could it be that if Butcher Zhang is dead, we'll just eat the muddy pig?" At this time, a soldier asked him to wait a moment, saying that a stretcher was coming up for him from behind. When he heard this, he waved his hands again and again, "No, no, I can go!" After that, he walked on the road with difficulty under the support of the guards.When he arrived at the campsite to wash his face, he found that a piece of skin had been scratched on his head. Fortunately, the area was not large. After eating, the guard brought some firewood, and the two talked while drying the wet clothes.The guard joked and said: "President Fu, the horse has been washed away and the quilt is gone. You really want to be the head of the group when you sleep at night!" While joking, Zhang Wentian came.He was travel and dusty, with a tired look on his face, one could tell at a glance that he came to see Fu Lianjun just after he arrived at the camp and couldn't take a rest.He asked with concern: "How is it? Dr. Fu, I heard that you fell into the river. It's terrible. Nothing wrong, right?" He saw that Fu Lianyun's head was covered with a bandage, "Well, I got a scratch on my head, are you okay? "No problem, it's just a scratch on the head, it doesn't matter." He quickly replied. At this time, the door slammed, and Mao Zedong's guard came in, holding a quilt in his hand, and said: "Doctor Fu, the chairman knew that you fell into the river, and specially sent me to see you." Mao Zedong also knew ?He looked at Zhang Wentian, who was covered in dust, and then at the guards sent by Mao Zedong. A warm current rushed into his heart. He moved him and said, "Please tell the chairman that I am fine. Please rest assured." The guards put the quilt on the stool. Then he said: "The chairman knew that your luggage was washed away by the water, so he specially asked me to bring you a quilt." Mao Zedong had a quilt and a blanket.When I brought a quilt, there was only one blanket left.Fu Lianjun was very clear about this.So he quickly refused: "How can this be done? The chairman doesn't have any extra quilts. Give it to me, what should he do? Take it back!" "The chairman said, please accept it." The guard insisted road. At this time, Zhang Wentian also persuaded him: "The chairman gave it, you can accept it. When is this? Don't be polite. In two hours, the troops will start again." Fu Lianjun also knew Mao Zedong's temper very well. Although I felt deeply uneasy, I had no choice but to accept it. As early as when he was studying medicine at the Ashton Medical School run by the Tingzhou Christian Church, Fu Lianyun suffered from tuberculosis, and he also suffered from stomach problems and hemorrhoids. When he was the director of the Gospel Hospital, he began to eat a certain amount of food every day. So his body has been relatively weak.When he walked in the team for the first time, many people offered to help him and asked him what difficulties he had. This encouraged him a lot, and he walked more and more vigorously. A few days later, just as Fu Lianjun was slowly getting used to walking, a guard with a cape gun came to him. He thought someone was sick and hurried out. "Doctor Fu," the guard said with a salute, "Comrade Cai Chang wants me to give you this mule." After speaking, he led a strong rhubarb mule to him.It was a drought that happened to coincide with timely rain. Fu Lianjun stroked the mule's cheek and kept saying, "Thank you, thank you!" The horse that Fu Lianjun fell into the river was given to him by Liu Ying, which solved many difficulties.Now, on this arduous Long March, he sleeps covered with a quilt given by Mao Zedong, and rides a mule given by Sister Cai when he marches. People often compare doctors to life-saving angels, and Fu Lianjun is the life-saving angel in this red team. He has made special contributions to maintaining and restoring the combat effectiveness of the Red Army soldiers. During the Long March, the Red Army often suffered from the four major diseases of dysentery, scabies, malaria and leg ulcers.Fu Lianjun adopted the policy of prevention first, and emphasized that the troops pay attention to food hygiene, and they are not allowed to drink unboiled water or eat unclean food.When crossing the snow-capped mountains, it was freezing cold. Fu Lianjun suggested that every cadre and soldier should eat a little chili to keep out the cold. If he was already ill, he treated him enthusiastically.There are countless cadres and soldiers who have received his treatment.Like Zhou Enlai, Wang Jiaxiang, Zhu De, Kang Keqing, Liu Bocheng, Wang Shusheng, and so on. He almost lost his life once because of treating people. That was when Fu Lianjun was in Tibetan areas with the Fourth Red Army.Seeing Fu Lianjun's excellent medical skills, Zhang Guotao wanted to win him over. Once he said to Fu Lianjun intentionally or unintentionally: "Doctor Fu, you are so good at medicine, do you want to be my Minister of Health?" Is it?" Fu Lianjun knew a thing or two about Zhang Guotao, so he politely rejected him. A person like Zhang Guotao, who has viciously inflated personal ambitions, is very narrow-minded. Seeing that Fu Lianjun disobeyed him, he didn't say anything, but secretly made a note for him in his heart. Soon, Chen Changhao, the political commissar of the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army, caught a cold and his tonsils were inflamed, so he sent Fu Lianjun to see a doctor.Because there was no medicinal glycerin, Fu Lianyun switched to homemade almond water, and the dose was increased a little. Unexpectedly, someone went to Zhang Guotao and reported a bad case, saying that this kind of medicine would be fatal if the dose was too large.Seeing that Zhang Guotao had a clue, he asked Fu Lianjun to ask viciously, "Fu Lianjun, you are so bold, you dare to kill our political commissar, and say, who ordered you?" Fu Lianyun was stunned when he heard this: "Where do you start with this? It is a doctor's duty to treat people. Why should I kill him?" When Zhang Guotao heard it, he became even more angry: "Too much almond water will kill people, do you know that?" "I know this, but Commissar Chen is so sick and there is no good medicine, so he had to use almond water. As for the overdose, I thought that heavy medicine should be prescribed for severe cases. Besides, if the pharmacist thinks the overdose is too high, the prescription can be amended!" Then, Fu Lianyun recited to Zhang Guotao the relevant content in "He's Therapeutics", which explained that when the doctor might prescribe too much medicine, the pharmacist can modify the prescription after showing it to the doctor.To say the least. In this way, Fu Lianyun once again avoided the disaster of killing himself. On the Long March, Fu Lianyun's other special job was to deliver the deliveries of female Red Army cadres who were in labor. In Aba, he delivered the baby for Chen Qiongying, Ren Bishi’s lover; in Sansanlipu, Minzhou, Gansu Province, he delivered the wife of Wu Defeng, the security director of the Second Red Front Army; The most memorable delivery was in the summer of 1935. At that time, Fu Lianjun had fallen behind because of his weak health.He was struggling forward with a stick, chasing the troops.When he had just climbed to the top of a mountain and was about to descend, suddenly there was a painful moan from a woman not far away.He hurried over to check, and it turned out that a female Red Army was about to give birth. He hurriedly helped her up and said, "It's cool and windy on this mountain. It's very dangerous to have a baby. You must insist on going down the mountain and find a shelter from the wind." With a man by his side, the lesbian immediately felt uncomfortable. The backbone.But after walking for more than ten miles, apart from mountains and mountains, I couldn't even see a grass shed.She couldn't move anymore, so she leaned on Fu Lianyun.Fu Lianjun was still behind in his own march, let alone dragged along with this pregnant woman who was about to give birth.His face was flushed from exhaustion, he was panting heavily, and there were beads of sweat dripping down his forehead, but he knew in his heart that no matter how difficult it was, he couldn't leave her alone. Finally, a broken bullpen appeared in the field of vision.Right here, a little life was born safely.Then, he took out the highland barley powder that he was reluctant to eat, and cooked it for her in a washbasin. In this place where there is no village and no store behind, he has been serving the mother for 3 days.It was not until the fourth day that the grateful mother and baby were carried away by the follow-up troops, and he was able to escape to chase the troops. When Mao Zedong saw Fu Lianjun in Baoan, the first words he said were: "Oh, Doctor Fu, you are still alive, alive!" "Yes, Chairman, I am alive, alive!" He almost shed tears. Yes, on the Long March of 25,000 miles, how many soldiers of the Red Army fell down and sacrificed their precious lives. And he, a crooked doctor, a Christian pursuing communism, survived, what a miracle!
