Chapter 37 5. In Sanjiang, the property of the three boats was robbed, and the people of the three boats arrived safely in Ganzhou

In October 1934, during the Long March of the Red Army, the case of the "small anti-Party clique" was settled. Mao Zetan, who was reformed at the grassroots level, was appointed as a member of the Central Soviet Bureau and the commander of the independent division of the Red Army. He stayed and insisted on fighting guerrillas. Mao Zetan is about to lead the Red Army guerrillas to the border of Fujian and Jiangxi. The party organization considers that He Yi is pregnant, and her parents and children need to be taken care of. It decides that He Yi will not act with the army, and take her parents to Ganzhou to insist on working underground.

In the uncertain morning, thick lead clouds oppressed the mountains, and pale light fell on the dark tribute water. Three large wooden boats with canopies set sail slowly, making sparkling ripples. One morning in December 1934, a secret farewell was being held at the Fourth Wharf of Bai'e Island, Huichang County. Mao Zetan helped the two old people onto the boat, feeling a sense of sadness in his heart, settled the old people, and sent He Yi and the child to the boat. Mao Zetan and He Yi held hands tightly, and there was no way to say a thousand words for a while. Mao Zetan and He Yiyi bid farewell.

He Yi stared at Mao Zetan: due to working day and night, his face was obviously thinner, but his piercing eyes still showed a resolute and dignified expression. "Ze Tan, take care of everything in the future." He Yi's strong eyes, full of attachment and affectionate eyes, couldn't help but feel sour, and said with a choked voice, "Don't worry about the children and parents." Mao Zetan nodded and said, "He Yi , your days will be more difficult in the future, but you must persevere no matter what you encounter! I will send someone to see you.” At that time, He Yi, who was pregnant, was appointed as the deputy secretary of the Ganxian County Committee of the Communist Party of China. Five people, old and young, sneaked to Gan County, Bai District to work underground.

The covert actions of He Yi and his party were personally arranged by Liu Shaoqi, who had rich experience in working in the White Area and served as the chairman of the Central Executive Bureau of the Soviet Area of ​​the All-China Federation of Trade Unions.Xiang Ying, secretary of the Central Soviet District Bureau, personally organized the implementation and made careful and meticulous arrangements. The itinerary was arranged by Wang Xianxuan, the executive member of the Central Committee and chairman of the Central Coolie Transport Union, and Boss Liu.Wang Xianxuan originally participated in the Long March, because he had worked in the White Area for a long time and was familiar with the local conditions. Therefore, Mao Zetan suggested that Zhou Enlai and Liu Shaoqi agreed for him to stay.

The ship was loaded with tungsten sand and millet, ready to be shipped to Ganzhou for sale and used as activity funds. On the first boat was He Huanwen, aliased as Chen Huanwen, led by Boss Liu; on the second boat was He Yi, aliased as Hu Zhaodi, with her daughter Xiaoyingzi, who was not yet one year old, and Wang Xianxuan pretended to be husband and wife; the third boat was Wen Tuxiu and Liu Bao (son of Liu Bojian, 4 years old) pretended to be grandparents under the pseudonym Xiaosanzi. After setting sail, Mao Zetan slowly raised his dignified hand towards the sailboat going down the river. This wave of hand was forever frozen in the mind of He Yi, a woman from the Soviet area... The three rivers are deep and fast, and the journey is dangerous and unpredictable.

Yudugong River is the first crossing of the Red Army's Long March.Here, it became a waterway pass for the White Army to block the "fleeing" of the rest of the Red Army.Several steamships of the White Army cruised on the river day and night, and all passing ships were detained. He Yi and his party of three boats were mixed among several other boats and sailed into the "pocket" of the Bai army. "Where did the ship come from, what is it for, and where is it going?" The white army swarmed onto the ship, their guns rattling, and they yelled, "Is there any red army on board? Hand over the red army, and everyone will be there." Reward!" The dock guards are all direct descendants of the garrison chief, and their mission is to search for people's fat, force them to levy and punish them, and they collect more oil and water from the checkpoints than taxes every day.

"Boss, we are from Huichang." Wang Xianxuan stepped forward and said with a smile. "Huichang, do you have a pass?" Bai Jun glanced at He Yi, a pregnant lady. "Of course there is, why not." He took out the certificate and answered graciously. Bai Jun didn't look at the certificates, and they got into the cabin one by one like mice, their eyes rolling around. "Hey, what is in the cabin, so heavy?" "Paddy, the rice you eat." "Paddy, so heavy?" "Hey, there are some ideas for tungsten sand." "Tungsten sand, haha, is there any tungsten sand?" The white soldier smiled and shouted to the shore: "Commander, here is a ship of tungsten sand." In an instant, the three boats of rice and tungsten sand were looted.

As future activity expenses, there is no more.After Wang Xianxuan dealt with and negotiated, there were quite a few people on the three boats, old and young, and they survived the catastrophe.Driven by the white army, everyone left the shore in a hurry, and the three ships headed towards Ganzhou like an arrow off the string. The next day, it was misty and rainy, and Ganzhou was already in sight. To avoid suspicion, the boat docked at Mojiao, a remote place in the east of the city.Wang Xian sent boatman Liu Jiafa ashore and got in touch with He Sangou, Secretary of the Shuixi Party Branch.He Sangou (1932) was personally introduced by Wang Xianxuan to join the party. He was shrewd and reliable.

Wang Xianxuan suddenly returned to Ganzhou to explain the task, and He Sangou knew that this matter was no small matter.Looking at He Yi again, although she has a protruding belly and is dressed as a peasant woman, her eyes are as bright as stars, so it can be seen that she has a lot of background. After thinking about it, He Sangou decided to hide He Yi and his party at the house of his widowed aunt in Shirenqian Village. In Shirenqian Village, there is a flying stone on the mountain, which looks like a human being, so it is named Shirenqian Village. Although He Sangou's aunt, Li Jinxiu, lives alone, she loves cleaning very much. The three earth-wood tile houses are neatly cleaned, and the tables, chairs and stove are spotless.

When He Yi saw this place, she liked it a little. She has been engaged in women's work for many years and has rich experience. She called Li Jinxiu "Qi Niang" whenever she opened her mouth.It made Li Jinxiu agree again and again, so he was very happy. From then on, he recognized this daughter-in-law (goddaughter) and treated each other as mother and daughter. Li Jinxiu used to be a Qi Niang (nurse) in Jiujiang area, traveling all over the world and seeing the world.Said to the outside world: "Hu Zhaodi is my daughter-in-law in Jiujiang. Hukou, her hometown, was in turmoil, and her family fled here for refuge."
