Chapter 86 1. Revolution is a test. Communist Party members organize everything, so they don’t care about themselves

Beside the stone road, a few plum blossoms are secretly fragrant. It was the early spring of 1929. 14-year-old Peng Guotao got up early in the morning and followed his father, a teacher, to meet a long-distance raiding team with a load of tea.His father, Peng Peng, was a teacher in the open and secretly served as the military minister of the Ningdu County Committee of the Communist Party of China.He told her: This team is called the Red Army, and it fights very hard, and its leader is called "Zhu Mao (Zhu Mao)". Are the Red Army really red eyebrows and green eyes?Peng Guotao was a little scared. She had heard for a long time that the Red Army had green faces and fangs, eating human flesh raw.Hearing that the Red Army was coming, Lai Shicong, the magistrate of Ningdu County of the Kuomintang, had already fled.

In the pomegranate row more than ten miles south of the county seat, Peng Guotao saw the Red Army, but they were ordinary people, and he was a little disappointed.The dry-mouthed Red Army team, like a big dragon sucking water, drank up two full loads of tea.This team was introduced to the county seat.On the same day, the leaders of the Red Army "Zhu Mao", Chen Yi and others met them at Wenwu in the west of the city. The Fourth Red Army left Jinggang Mountains and marched towards southern Jiangxi and western Fujian. They encountered enemies everywhere and were exhausted and exhausted.

"Zhu Mao" told Peng Peng: The Red Army is in great need of silver dollars, food, and various daily necessities. How much do you need? The Red Army said a number: it is best to raise 5,000 yuan. How much money do you want? She, who had never touched money, thought it was an astronomical figure.Thus, she learned to do mass work for the first time. Under the leadership of her father, she propagated the purpose of the Communist Party and the Red Army to make revolution to the old cousins ​​in the surrounding villages.Unexpectedly, 5,500 silver dollars, 300 pieces of homespun cloth, 7,000 pairs of straw sandals and socks were quickly raised...

The name "Zhu Mao" resounds throughout Hunan and Jiangxi. In fact, there are two people, one is the army commander Zhu De, and the other is the political commissar Mao Zedong.The Red Army received the support they wished, and the army was reorganized. Mao Zedong said that Peng Peng was very capable of working.Next, the masses were mobilized, study classes were established, a meeting was held in Wenjiawu, Shangximen, the county seat, and the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Revolutionary Committee was established. Mao Zedong personally appointed Peng Peng as the director of the County Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Revolutionary Committee. This was the first county magistrate of the red regime in Ningdu .

Peng Peng's "county magistrate" has only been in power for more than ten days. He was elected and appointed in early May. In mid-May, when the Red Army left Ningdu, Peng Peng also served as the captain of the guerrillas in Ningdu County. He led the guerrillas in the county to move to the northern mountainous area to carry out guerrilla warfare.In July of the following year, Peng Peng was arrested. Peng Guotao intervened in the revolution prematurely, and also intervened in the pain prematurely.When she first read the world, there were two things that linked two lives, which made her unforgettable and will never be forgotten.

In the early winter of 1929, the sudden cold temperature made it difficult for people to adapt. Peng Guotao's younger brother, Peng Shouping, suddenly refused to eat or drink, and suffered from "dumb mouth syndrome" (diphtheria).This was a serious illness at a time when there was a lack of medical treatment.She sticks with her mother, Chen Shi, longing for her father's return. That day was December 8th.A famous day in the history of revolution in Ningdu County.Peng Peng, the deputy captain of the guerrillas Xiao Dapeng (later the acting commander of the 20th Red Army) and others led the guerrillas into the county.At that time, there were more than 300 guerrillas and more than 160 guns. After careful arrangements, the guerrillas destroyed the county government office in one fell swoop and rescued Wang Jun's wife and other comrades in prison.

In the dark night, the three pairs of eyes flickered faintly like three pairs of phosphorescent fires. My father didn't return for a day and a night, and my brother's eyes were closed forever in the face of his mother and sister. When Peng Peng returned home, his mother hugged his younger brother's body, crying and complaining.Caressing the corpse of his only son, Peng Peng was filled with guilt, but he did not regret his mistake. He said in a choked voice: "This is a test. I am a member of the Communist Party. Everything is organized. I can't care about myself!" Test, test!In the face of life and death, Peng Guotao remembered these two words for a lifetime.

What followed was a test, which she would never forget, seeing her father kidnapped to the execution ground and made a heroic sacrifice. Guerrilla warfare, food and shelter, Peng Peng became sick from overwork, and his left leg suffered from severe rheumatoid arthritis.Fights often broke out. One day in July of the following year, the team moved to Lijiafang, Zhantian Township, and exchanged fire with a large number of enemies.Peng Peng was unable to walk and was captured by the enemy. During the escort, he was rescued by the people in Huitong District. The Bai army knew that his legs and feet were inconvenient and he could not walk very far, so they sent troops to search for a week in turn, but there was still no result.Then the villagers of Tongkou, Yaotian, Taozhi and other villages in the same district were gathered in front of the Zhenjun Temple in Tongkou Village, and they declared that they would never hand over Peng Peng, burn down all the houses, and shoot all the villagers... At this time, Peng Peng suddenly turned from Zhenjun The temple god stood up and shouted:

"Peng Peng is here!" Re-imprisoned, Peng Peng, who was severely injured after more than a dozen tortures, fought the enemy to the death. He took off the only sweater on his body and asked the prisoner who delivered the food to exchange a pack of arsenic.Sweaters are valuables. The prisoner was greedy for sweaters and was afraid of the dead, so he was given a pack of adulterated arsenic. 4 months of poisoning.Peng Peng refused to be tempted and remained steadfast and unyielding. In order to warn the public, when executing political prisoners, the politicians like to hold public trial meetings.On November 16 of that year, a bamboo sedan chair with sliding poles carried Peng Peng, who was already dying, into the county stadium where crowds gathered.

On the commander's platform in the north of the stadium, Peng Guotao covered his head with his rags and hid in the crowded crowd, biting his lip to witness his father's tragic death. Qiu Luncai, director of the Qingxiang Committee of the county, stood on the stage, spitting, counting Peng Peng's "evil deeds" of the revolution, and then shouted provocatively: "Everyone said, do you want to kill such a bad person? Some people who had been organized in advance responded loudly: "I want to kill!" In the chaos, some people shouted: "Don't kill!" The old man said: "Why kill him, he has been beaten as a ruined person now, so don't kill him!" Ask everyone, it's just a formality, killing must be done.Qiu Lun ordered the executioner to use torture.

The executioner was named Liu Bingnan, and he was paid 36 silver dollars for killing.In order to ward off evil spirits, he wore a white spun silk gown and came onto the stage holding a three-foot-long ghost-headed broadsword.Liu Bingnan is a well-known executioner with great strength, but this time his job was not easy. He slashed with a knife and slashed seven times in a row, but he didn't kill anyone. 32-year-old Peng Peng, blood spattered from several places on his neck, shot on other people's faces, and kept yelling, "This is the test—" Peng Guotao passed out on the ground. The executioner's hands were weak and panicked. Someone from the audience helped and shouted: "It's the mark on his back that blocked it. Pull out the mark on his back, pull out the mark!" The executioner pulled out the mark in a panic, and cut again , the head was chopped off at the 8th cut. The Bai army dragged Peng Peng's body to feed the dogs, cut off his head, and hung it on the city gate for exhibition. Seven days later, the head suddenly disappeared, and since then, no bones have been found.
