History is the memory of things that have been said and done. —Carl Baker
Both the Nanchang Uprising and the Autumn Harvest Uprising were revolutionary uprisings with the greatest influence in the history of our Party; the Nanchang Uprising was the first shot fired by our Party against the reactionaries, and the Autumn Harvest Uprising was an armed uprising led by our Party that combined the workers and peasants. Moreover, during the Autumn Harvest Uprising, Grandpa Mao realized a new revolutionary path, that is, to create rural base areas and put forward the strategic idea of encircling the cities from the countryside. Although the autumn harvest uprising ended in failure, it is of great significance to the future development of our Party. Of course, from the Autumn Harvest Uprising, many founding fathers were also found, such as Luo Ronghuan (marshal rank), Tan Zheng (rank of general), He Changgong, Tan Zhenlin (the founder of the rank of general), Song Renqian (general), Yang Lisan, Zhong Qiguang (general) and other founding fathers, all of whom participated in the autumn harvest uprising.
The commander-in-chief at that time, Lu Deming, was heroic and righteous in this uprising, otherwise, he would definitely be a marshal after the founding of the country. At that time, in addition to the commander-in-chief, there was also a deputy commander-in-chief, as well as the commander of the First Division. The generals in both positions were the main commanders of our Party during the Autumn Harvest Uprising. But these two are also tragic figures, why do you say that? They could have had a great future, but for the sake of a small interest in the future, they abandoned the revolution and defected to Chiang Kai-shek.
The commander-in-chief of the Autumn Harvest Uprising is Lu Deming, and the deputy commander-in-chief is Han Jun, which may be a little strange to everyone who hears this name. But in that era, it was also a prominent figure.
Han Jun, a native of Xinzhou, Huanggang, Hubei Province, graduated from Huangpu Phase I. During his school years, he was influenced by Zhou Gong to join our party and has since become a member of our party. Because of his high political consciousness and rapid ideological progress, he was also arranged by his superiors to study at the University of the Red Army in the Soviet Union. You must know that being able to arrange for study in the Soviet Union is the focus of our Party's training. For example, in the early days, Liu Shuai was arranged to study at the Frunze Military Academy in the Soviet Union because of his outstanding military talent, and after returning to China, he served as the chief of the general staff of the Red Army, and later became one of the ten founding marshals.
After the outbreak of the Nanchang Uprising, he led his troops into Xiushui and then participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising led by Grandpa Mao, who at that time served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Autumn Harvest Uprising, and Grandpa Mao was the party representative and the commander-in-chief Lu Deming, these three should be regarded as the leading figures of the Autumn Harvest Uprising. However, after the autumn harvest uprising broke out, it was besieged by local security regiments. In the course of fighting the enemy, Han Jun was unfortunately captured, because of his background in the Whampoa Military Academy, he was not shot, and later, under the persuasion of Chiang Kai-shek and his classmates, Han Jun abandoned the revolution and defected to Chiang Kai-shek.
However, he was unlucky that his highest rank in the Nationalist army was lieutenant general, and he was later captured at the Battle of Laiwu and began his career as a prisoner of war until his amnesty release in December 1961. As the deputy commander-in-chief of the Autumn Harvest Uprising, if he did not defect to the enemy, in 1955 after liberation, if there was no accident, he would at least be a general-level figure.
The second tragic figure is Yu Shandu, who is even more tragic than Han Jun, in fact, this is also a student of the second phase of Huangpu, who served as the commander of the First Division of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army during the Autumn Harvest Uprising. Although his position at that time did not have Lu Deming and Han Jungao, these two were later a sacrifice and a defection. In this way, the supreme military commander of the Autumn Harvest Uprising fell on Yu Shandu's head. After the failure of the autumn harvest uprising, Grandpa Mao led everyone up to Jinggangshan to establish a rural revolutionary base area. However, Yu Shandu could not bear the hardships and often complained, and in such an environment, what was the difference between him and the mountain thief. At this time, he lost confidence in the revolution and believed that our Party could not defeat Chiang Kai-shek. So he had the idea of defecting, and finally lost to the living environment, left Jinggangshan, joined the nationalist army, and found a position in the world of flowers and flowers in Shanghai.
However, his ending is not very good, in the Shanghai flower world, he is a person with poor self-discipline, can not withstand money, women's temptation, and the cost is getting bigger and bigger. In the end, the opium business was started, and after a long time, the matter was exposed, and finally he was shot by Chiang Kai-shek. If Yu Shandu did not surrender to the enemy, he would follow Grandpa Mao well, and perhaps, after the founding of the country, he could also be awarded a marshal rank, and the worst was also a general-level official rank.
