Chapter 22 Zhang Yunyi acted as the "Supervisor of Youjiang" to lure and kill the enemy bandit leader Xiong Hao

Baise, a mountain city on the southern border, is surrounded by Fenghuang Mountain and Shizi Mountain in the north, and surrounded by the confluence of Youjiang River, E River and Chengbi River in the east, south and west. Baise is located at the junction of Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou provinces. It is the only way for the import and export of Yunnan and Guizhou native products and foreign goods. There are boats by water, caravans by land, merchants gather, and the six industries are thriving. ——Because of this, Baise often changes its owner, and sometimes even the smuggler leader takes power.But no matter who dominates the position, every time they will intensify their efforts to exploit and plunder the common people with clever tricks.Most of the residents in the suburbs are Zhuang people who are hard to submit.According to historical records, they staged hundreds of riots, large and small, in the last century alone.In order to deal with warlords' melee and heavy taxes, they often hide in inaccessible mountainous areas to fight against the government; sometimes they go out into the city in stormy and dark nights to rob the floating wealth of corrupt officials or bully tyrants; And repel the suppression of warlord forces.The most capable leader of these organizations is Wei Baqun, who is respectfully called the "Dragon" by the Zhuang people-he is a very legendary "Chinese Robin Hood".

On the day when the troops led by Deng Bin and Zhang Yunyi arrived in Baise City, the welcoming ceremony arranged by Wei Baqun was very grand: when the team just entered the city gate, there was a burst of gongs and drums, firecrackers, iron mills and sheng, xiao, suona music. The sound filled the ears; young men and women in national costumes happily danced the shoulder pole dance and the shrimp fishing dance; I have never seen so many troops and horses. At noon, Wei Baqun held a banquet in Wangjiang Tower to welcome Deng Bin, Zhang Yunyi and others.Going up the stairs, Deng Bin couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion when looking at the scenery of the mountain city: Baise is really a place where dragons and tigers are hidden!Then he blurted out a poem: the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, birds flying and fish jumping to realize the secret of heaven.

After listening, everyone applauded. Wei Baqun repeatedly praised: "It's beautiful! It's wonderful! It really tells the 'secret'!" Then he invited Zhang Yunyi and said: "Brother Sheng, it's time for you to sing about wine." The Hainanese Cantonese accent chanted: the river flows through the ages, and the mountains and mountains come to the city. Everyone applauded again.Wei Baqun praised again: "Joyful! Magnificent! What a 'thousands of mountains come to the city'! Today, our team is mighty and mighty 'Come to the city'" Next, everyone raised their glasses frequently to cheer for this successful military transfer!

During the dinner, Deng Bin asked Wei Baqun enthusiastically: "Brother Ba, how many people are here from the peasant army?" Wei Baqun said: "I heard that guns were going to be fired. The peasants and soldiers from all counties rushed here overnight after receiving the notice. There were about 3,000 people." Deng Bin said: "If you have people and guns, you can do a career like what Brother Ba said is 'terrible, great'!" Zhang Yunyi said: "Here the hero is a horse, and the strong man sharpens his sword. It is very useful!" According to the memories of Yuan Renyuan, Wei Guoqing and other generals:

After the team arrived in Baise, Deng Xiaoping, Zhang Yunyi, Wei Baqun and others discussed the big plan together, actively deployed, and planned the armed uprising according to the local reality at that time. First of all, propagate the party's ideas among the troops and the masses, and actively mobilize the masses. Second, take over the political power, replace some reactionary county heads, district heads, and township heads wherever the revolutionary forces reach, and replace them with our own people, and punish a group of corrupt officials and local tyrants and profiteers. Third, reorganize the army and expand its armed forces.Because the troops were drawn from the old troops taken over by Yu and Li Zeng, the composition was complex. First of all, some reactionary officers who were deeply hated by the soldiers for deducting military pay and beating and scolding soldiers were eliminated. "Training" or issuing travel expenses "gift out of the country" has been dealt with.Then carry out the democratic revolution in the army, establish a political work system, organize soldiers' committees, and implement the equality of officers and soldiers in politics and life.

Fourth, establish and develop party organizations. Fifth, eliminate the armed landlords and bandits and consolidate the base areas. Sixth, train cadres.Some outstanding trainees were selected from the teaching corps to serve as the leading backbones of battalions, companies, and platoons, and some players with firm stances and resolute struggles were selected from the peasant team to enrich the various companies and add new blood to the troops. The team drove to Baise and settled down, and all preparations for the armed uprising were carried out in an orderly and effective manner. In the golden autumn season of harvest, the phoenix trees in Baise City are more and more green with life, and the phoenix flowers on the slopes and ridges of Phoenix Mountain in the north of the city are blooming clusters of fiery red! ——This can't help but remind people of what is said in "The Book of Songs Daya": the phoenix sings in the high hills; the phoenix tree grows in the rising sun.

Why is the phoenix not a phoenix but not a habitat?Why is a mountain ridge named after "Phoenix"?An ancient legend has been sung by the people of Baise for centuries: a divine bird stands gracefully on the mountain ridge, and its singing attracts the colorful spectacle of Baise. In the brilliance of the rising sun, showing a heroic posture, the divine bird flies to the tree and nests, and the descendants of the Zhuang nationality who protect this side of the water and soil multiply and thrive Old legends, young today!Feng Shui reincarnation, the phoenix is ​​coming! When the troops were stationed in Baise, the landlords and gentry in the Youjiang area were in panic all day long.On the one hand, they gather reactionary militia groups to occupy the key points, trying to resist stubbornly and regain their lost "paradise";

One evening, Lei Jingtian sent a traffic officer to send a message from Pingma: After Zheng Jiemin fled to Liuzhou, he was ordered by Chiang Kai-shek to return to Nanning with Lu Huanyan and Yang Tenghui's troops.Zheng Jiemin used a lot of money and the position of brigade commander to buy Xiong Hao, the captain of the third garrison brigade, and then sent Xiong Hao to lead the third brigade to Youjiang on the 26th of this month. ". Upon learning of this information, Deng Bin, Zhang Yunyi, Wei Baqun and others immediately studied the deployment and decided to eat Xiong Gao's troops first to clear the way for the uprising.Xiong Hao's third garrison brigade was originally a regular unit of a regiment of Bai Chongxi's department. When the first Chiang-Gui war broke out, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi led the brigade to fight against Jiang's army on the south road and marched into Hunan and Hubei. Xiong Hao stayed behind as the garrison commander. Nanning.Therefore, his team did not lose troops, nor was he expelled from the military circles of Guangxi because of the defeat of Li, Bai, and Huang.

Xiong Hao marched into Youjiang, colluded with the Xie Chongjian militia entrenched in the Changsong Mountain area, and set up a battle to capture Baise: sent the first battalion to the south of Fengyi County to block the south gate of Baise City; The battalion was stationed in the north of Fengyi County to prevent the Donglan peasant army from going south; most of the troops were distributed in the area of ​​Luolong Town, which is only five or six kilometers away from Baise, and formed a confrontation with the fourth garrison brigade of Baise. If you fail, you can cross the Youjiang River south, use the river as the boundary, and block the opponent, and then retreat to the Changsong Mountain to defend if you go south.

After some analysis of the enemy's situation, Deng Bin, Zhang Yunyi and others all believed that facing the two enemies of Xiong Hao and Xie Chongjian, if we want to attack hard, our strength will not only be lost, but they may not be able to eliminate them. Take it as the best policy. So it was decided that Zhang Yunyi would come forward, and Xiong Hao was invited to the city on the grounds that he had been appointed by Yu Zuobai as the supervisor of Youjiang, and that the third and fourth garrison brigades were "brothers" and should be jointly built to be responsible for the defense of Youjiang. , took the opportunity to capture him, and at the same time divided his forces into three groups to attack Luolong Town, the main force of the third brigade and the head office.

Soon, as the notice of Zhang Yunyi's appointment as Youjiang Supervisor was sent to all counties, the sign of Youjiang Supervisor was hung in front of the foreign building of an overseas Chinese merchant in Dongshun Street, Baise City. Gong Hecun took a letter of invitation written by Supervisor Zhang and led four guards to Luolong Town on horseback. Xiong Hao read the invitation letter, threw it on the table, and sneered at Gong Hecun contemptuously: "Director Gong, now it's 'the emperor takes turns, come to my house tomorrow', Chairman Yu has been living in Longzhou with Chief Li, His appointment is like waste paper, worthless, who will buy him the position of supervisor!" Gong Hecun complimented: "Captain Xiong is a veteran of our Guangxi military. He has a clear understanding of the current situation. Brother Wen Hao, Captain Zhang, led his troops to Youjiang. He thought that the third and fourth brigades were brothers. The subordinates are living together, and they are hostile to Youjiang's jurisdiction and dare not take it for themselves; I also heard that brother Hao was promoted to the major general of the party and state, congratulations! I ordered my younger brother to come here, and invited brother Hao to the city to discuss Youjiang with brother Yi Joint defense plan." Xiong Gao suddenly showed anger and said: "Damn it! My brother was treated as a stepmother's son, but when he raised his troops against Jiang, he dragged me to the front line to pay for his life. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world!" Gong Hecun immediately greeted him again: "So Brother Hao withdrew his troops to the outskirts and refused to come out. Now it seems that Brother Hao has the foresight and is smarter!" Xiong Hao was quite proud: "Hey, if I don't make this move, my third brigade will be finished. How dare I go to Youjiang today? Speaking of it, Captain Zhang is too mean. During the Nanning mutiny, he took the ordnance Ku's weapons and equipment were taken by myself, and I was not given a single shot." Gong Hecun said: "At that time, the situation was urgent, and each of us knew it well. Captain Zhang had no choice but to do that. Now, all the weapons and equipment are here. Captain Zhang said that you can get all the guns and ammunition you need from Brother Hao, and you are willing to cooperate with us." Brother Hao join forces to govern Youjiang." Xiong Hao asked suspiciously: "How can you see it?" Gong Hecun immediately asked his followers to present gifts to Xiong Hao: a piece of jasper, ten ingots of gold and a box of priceless Jinliu Xirou. "This is a small gift from Captain Zhang who specially asked me to come here and give it to Brother Hao. Please accept it." Gong Hecun further seduced, "This Baise is a blessed place, an important commercial town. According to preliminary inspections, only merchants are collected every year. The tax alone is worth millions of dollars, not to mention the 'hard currency' (implying opium smuggling). As long as Brother Hao is willing to cooperate with Brother Yi, there will be endless wealth." Xiong Hao was a little moved, accepted the gift, and asked: "If Captain Zhang is sincere, why didn't you come here in person?" Gong Hecun said: "Regardless of whether Yu Zuobai's appointment is still valid, but the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, once the signboard of the Youjiang supervisor is hung, the county yamen and the local gentry can only follow their lead and listen to orders. Zhang supervises all day long. I am busy with official duties, so I asked my younger brother to invite Brother Hao, I hope you will not refuse, and go to discuss military affairs and governance plans together." Xiong Hao laughed twice, and then shouted sharply: "Come here!" Immediately, more than a dozen burly men jumped out from the two sides of the living room, and tied up Gong Hecun and the four guards without any explanation. "Captain Xiong, why are you doing this? Since ancient times, when two soldiers are at war, the envoy will not be killed!" Gong Hecun asked angrily. "Your brother should be recruited according to the truth, so as not to be my ghost!" Xiong Hao smiled slyly, "Do you think I will fall for your "invite the king into the urn"? Do you think you can buy my head with this little gift? After three changes in the government of Guangxi, what I want today is the benefit of a city and a pool. What I want is Youjiang, Zuojiang, and even the whole of Guangxi! Guangxi!! Ha ha ha ha!Gong Hecun also laughed out loud, "Brother Hao, it is not a pity for you to kill me and the four brothers! I swear to God, if there is even the slightest suspicion of lying here, I will be thundered from the sky! We always respect Brother Hao's chivalry and righteousness and his great talent in commanding the army, I didn't expect to see him today, and it's nothing more than that. If you want to kill, cut it quickly, and kill it with one blow!" Xiong Hao shouted to his subordinates: "Bring the wine!" When the voice fell, a thug came over with five bowls of wine on a tray.Gong Hecun picked up a bowl with his mouth and drank it down.The four guards followed suit. Xiong Hao walked up to Gong Hecun and said in a joking and mocking tone: "Before beheading, if you have anything to say, just say it. I will send your last words and your body to Baise City." Gong Hecun smiled and said to him: "I have nothing to say, only a little regret." Xiong Hao asked, "What's your regret?" Gong Hecun said: "Brother Hao has Han Xin's courage, but he has no Han Xin's strategy. If you don't do the good 'business' in front of you, I will regret it even if I die." Xiong Hao took out the pistol, twirled it in his hand, and slammed it on the table with a "slap--" and said to the thugs: "Untie and untie! Director Gong has scared you!" In the morning of that day, Xiong Hao rode his white dragon horse, led a platoon of guards, and went to Baise County accompanied by Gong He Village. The slogan "Welcome Captain Xiong Hao to Baise" and the warm and grand atmosphere of lining up to greet him have made the proud Xiong Hao intoxicated. The next details are even more dramatic: Zhang Yunyi hosted a banquet in honor of Xiong Hao, and invited wealthy businessmen and local sages to congratulate him, and toasted Xiong Hao in turn.The banquet was coming to an end, and Xiong Hao had been poured into a pool of mud. When he woke up, he found that his hands and feet had been clasped with blunt guys, and he knew that the fourth security brigade had attacked the third brigade with lightning speed. The main force and head office. After two days of fierce fighting, more than 1,600 officers and soldiers of Xiong Hao's third brigade became prisoners (after training, they were enriched to the fourth brigade). Afterwards, Gong Hecun, the director of the Public Security Bureau, presided over the public trial meeting, announced the death penalty for Xiong Hao and several reactionary officers, took them to the execution ground, and executed them by shooting.
