He was awarded the title of founding major general in 1955, and he was once the secretary of the provincial party committee, such a meritorious and lifelong general, why did he borrow money from the nanny after the founding of the country? "Mill History" tells you.
Zhang Was born in Yongxin County, Jiangxi Province, and his father died when he was 10 years old. Growing up hard from a young age, he arrived at Jinggangshan with the team of his hometown at the age of 13, joined the Red Army in 1933, and then the Red Army began the Long March.
The bag does not leave the body
Zhang Haoxiu also rose from an ordinary soldier all the way to company commander, and his superiors at that time asked him to keep the military expenses, gave him a big package, and said that it was 200 pieces of ocean inside, and he wanted him to keep it well.
Zhang Chengxiu saluted and said, "I just lost my life, and I won't lose this money." Zhang Haoxiu had never seen so much money, very nervous, some people ridiculed him that he could escape with the roll money. Zhang Zhenxiu was very angry after hearing this: "These 200 pieces of ocean are the lifeblood of the Red Army, and no one should fight the idea of this money." ”
Zhang Haoxiu was a company commander, and he could completely ask ordinary soldiers to carry this heavy package. But Zhang Haoxiu has a strong sense of responsibility, worried about the loss of this money, he personally carries it, eats and sleeps without leaving his body, this package is very heavy, plus he still has to hold a gun, the harsh environment on the Long March Road, the life of not having enough to eat, you can imagine how difficult Zhang Haoxiu is, but the most difficult thing is that in the battle, he is not only a company commander who needs command, but also heroically resists the enemy, but also protects the military expenses from being lost, and the hardship of the battle can be imagined. But Zhang Haoxiu gritted his teeth and persevered, every time after the battle, others counted the booty, he counted the wrapped silver dollars, and in such an environment, the silver dollars on his body did not lose a piece. Zhang Haoxiu still arrived at the destination with this large package on his back.
After the end of the Long March, he joined the Kang Da study, and after graduation, he successively went to the New Fourth Army, successively serving as regimental commander, chief of staff of the 19th Brigade, and in the Liberation War, he served as the commander of the 80th Division of the 27th Army of the 9th Corps of the Third Field Army, and participated in the battles of Menglianggu and Crossing the River shanghai.
During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he served as the commander of the 80th Division of the 27th Army of the Volunteer Army, which can be said to be the southern conquest and the northern war. After returning to China, he was awarded the rank of major general in April 1955.
It is reasonable to say that Zhang Haoxiu was already a major general, although at that time the country was in ruins to be rebuilt, but Zhang Chengxiu, a major general, should not have borrowed money from the nanny to maintain his life, but Zhang Haoxiu did have a very difficult life.
Borrow money from the babysitter
First of all, because Zhang Chengxiu's family has a large population, Zhang Chengxiu and his wife Ding Yahua have 8 children, which should be regarded as normal fertility at that time, after all, people in that era were equivalent to labor, there were many children, and every mouth had to eat, so Zhang Chengxiu needed to spend a lot of money.
But General Zhang Chengxiu was still very generous, in that era, everyone's life was very difficult, many people needed help, especially the widows of some old comrades-in-arms and the descendants of martyrs caused by the war, General Zhang Chengxiu would give them his own money or grain to help them get through the difficulties.
A friend once dissuaded him: "You have a big son waiting for you to feed, and you give money and food to others, and your family members can't eat." General Zhang Chengxiu said: "Compared with those martyrs who sacrificed for the revolutionary country, I can live to this day, and with the salary given to me by the state, I should be full of gratitude in my heart." Even if it is difficult, we must ensure the lives of the widows and families of the martyrs, and they must not be chilled by this. ”
Once, the family's grain was about to be eaten, but there were still a few days before the salary was paid, and in order not to starve the relatives of the family, Zhang Haoxiu had to go out and borrow money to survive the difficulties. However, after thinking about it for a while, I found that most of the comrades around me were like him, taking care of not only his own family but also the lives of his widow's family, and there was no extra money or food.
Thinking about it, Zhang Haoxiu thought of her own nanny, because only her expenses were not large, and she could save a sum of money.
Zhang Haoxiu therefore found his own nanny, borrowed a sum of money from him, the nanny is angry and funny, the nanny is very aware of the chief's style, but still counted down he said: "You are such a high-status chief, but borrowed money from my little nanny, you originally earned a lot, but as soon as others have difficulties, you will help, and now you are in difficulty, who will help you?" Stop being poor and generous to help others. ”
Zhang Haoxiu was a little embarrassed after listening, but the nanny still lent him money to help Zhang Chengxiu's family
Get through it
。
Zhang Haoxiu was fully capable of asking his superiors to avoid hunger, but he did not choose to do so, he did not want to set a bad precedent for himself, in order not to add trouble to the organization, he still chose to borrow money.
General Zhang Chengxiu's life, hard work, bright and upright, do not choose to use power for personal gain, would rather borrow money from the nanny at home, rather than trouble the organization, set a bad precedent. The character of General Zhang Chengxiu is worth learning with a lifetime and remembering with a lifetime.
