Why aren't Mr. Peng's ashes in Beijing in Sichuan? Just because of his next instruction in '74, who is he?
"Who dares to slash at the knife?" I am General Peng. ”
On October 19, 1935, Mr. Peng led his troops to pursue the enemy and captured more than 700 enemy people.
But everyone knows that he was shocked during a special period, and died on November 29, 1974, and in 1978 he was rehabilitated and reconsidered.
The organizers found his ashes in Chengdu after several turns, intact, and it turned out that someone had instructed that Mr. Peng's ashes be kept secretly here.
One morning in the winter of 1974, Liu Xingyuan, then first secretary of Sichuan Province, and Li Dazhang, deputy director of the Provincial Revolutionary Committee, received two guests from Beijing in their offices. They were two soldiers, with a sad look, and as soon as they met, they conveyed the instructions of the central authorities:
"We sent an urn, which contains the ashes of President Peng, and put it in Sichuan for safekeeping, where the general public stored it, and it is not allowed to change the box or move it; everything must be approved by the Central Military Commission, and the above contents are absolutely confidential."
After listening, the two provincial party leaders could not hide their sadness and immediately said that they would complete the task well.
After deliberation, they decided to send the ashes to the crematorium in the eastern suburbs, and Zhang Zhenya, then deputy head of the office group of the Provincial Revolutionary Committee who was responsible for reception and protection work, was sent to store them, and he handed them to the staff master Xin.
Master Xin was surprised to see it, he had never seen such a simple urn in so many years, and there was a small note on it, with three words written on it:
man
, Wang Chuan
。 However, they did not know whose ashes it was, but they knew that they must keep it well.
The date of the memorial service is getting closer and closer, and the organizers are very anxious, sending people everywhere to inquire about the location where Mr. Peng's ashes are stored, but not only is it not in Babaoshan, but there is no search in Beijing. In the end, It was Peng Gang, the niece of Mr. Peng, who provided clues, and they immediately set off for Chengdu.
However, Liu Xingyuan and Li Dazhang were also transferred from Sichuan to work in Beijing, but fortunately, Zhang Zhenya, who was already deputy secretary general of Sichuan Province, remembered the incident that year and wanted to understand the origin of the matter.
So he immediately went to the eastern suburbs funeral management office, Master Xin had retired, but he repeatedly instructed his descendants to keep the code name well
Codename "273"
The box of ashes, so it was intact, was carefully confirmed and zhang Zhenya handed it over and took it away.
On December 22, 1978, just two days before the memorial service was held, the ashes were finally picked up by special plane from Chengdu, Sichuan province to Beijing. According to the instructions of the Central Military Commission, the special plane flew around Beijing for a week.
It is worth mentioning that the ashes were deposited on December 23, 1974, and were taken away on December 22, 1978, exactly four years.
So who gave the instructions in the first place? The two soldiers told us the answer,
They were instructed by the Prime Minister
"It should be carefully kept, checked frequently, and no boxes should be changed, nor should it be transferred to the storage place, so that there will be no mistakes in future searches." "The premier's good intentions to protect The ashes of Mr. Peng are really touching.
It has been 46 years since the cold winter of November 29, 1974, and Mr. Peng has struggled for the cause of communism all his life and has become a monument to the republic! We will always remember the martyrs and forge ahead!
