We read all the lead to present a different history.
The legend of a hero, the experience of a strange woman.
In the spring of 1927, the city of Nanjing was raining heavily, non-stop for days. A young woman haunts a mass grave outside Nanjing, searching for something all day long. For more than two months, the woman had almost gone through the large and small mass graves on the outskirts of Nanjing, and asked almost all the households around her, but found nothing.
"Have you ever seen my husband?" Finally, a well-meaning person who knew the Dongyang dialect asked about the origin of the woman, who turned out to be from Dongyang County, Zhejiang Province, and she had come here to look for her husband. A year ago, her husband died here, the whereabouts are unknown, and she must bring his bones back to her hometown.
The woman's search for a husband touched countless people, so Huang Fuxing, a local official who was also from Dongyang, came to investigate. When Huang Fuxing saw the woman, he was so excited that he shouted loudly: "Sister-in-law! It turns out you're here! ”
It turned out that this woman's name was Yan Ruizhen, and her husband was a generation of famous generals, Golden Buddha Zhuang, and Huang Fuxing was a good friend of Golden Buddha Zhuang, often calling Golden Buddha Zhuang the eldest brother.
So, how did a generation of famous generals, the Golden Buddha Zhuang, sacrifice himself? What legendary experience did he have? It has to start at the beginning:
In 1897, Jin Fozhuang was born in a family of village doctors in Liangdu Village, Hengdian, Dongyang County, Zhejiang Province. Golden Buddha Zhuang has been clever and ambitious since childhood. In 1918, the 8th Infantry Section of the Baoding Army Officer School was examined by the Golden Buddha Zhuang. In the days of waiting for school, his parents made a kiss for him, and at first he firmly opposed it, but when he saw that Yan Ruizhen was a woman who was sensible and intelligent and progressive in thought, he gladly married her.
In 1920, when the Warlords of Zhiwan went to war and the Baoding Military Academy was suspended, he sent his wife Yan Ruizhen back to his hometown, and he went south to enter Xiamen University. In 1921, the military academy resumed classes. Guo Jun, a friend of the same window, wrote to the Golden Buddha Village many times to "persuade the new soldiers to persuade each other." On October 3, Jinfozhuang left Xiamen and returned to Baoding Military Academy to study. In 1922, Jin Fozhuang and Guo Jun joined the Youth League in Baoding.
In the spring of 1924, the organization sent four people, namely Jin Fozhuang, Guo Jun, Mao Yanjiao, and Hu Gongmian, to participate in the establishment of the Whampoa Military Academy. On June 17, 1924, Jin Fozhuang was appointed captain of the third student team of the first phase of the military academy.
From December 1924 to March 1926, Jin Fozhuang successively served as the commander of the third battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the Whampoa Military Academy Teaching Regiment and the commander of the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Division of the 1st Army. In order to consolidate the revolutionary base area in Guangdong at that time, he led a revolutionary army with the cadets of the Whampoa Military Academy as the backbone, and successively participated in the suppression of the rebellion of the Guangzhou Merchant Group and the rebellion of the Yunnan and Gui warlords "Liu and Yang", as well as the two eastern expeditions against the Guangdong warlord Chen Jiongming.
On March 20, 1926, after the "Zhongshan Incident", Chiang usurped the leadership of the First Army, and was leading the Second Regiment to be stationed at Jinfozhuang on the Shantou front and was disarmed. The First Army was an ace army, and Guo Jun, the commander of the first regiment of the First Division, and Jin Fozhuang, the commander of the second regiment, were both backbones of the army, so Jiang more than once hinted that this fellow had pulled Guo Jun to his command, but Jin Fozhuang remained unmoved.
After the Northern Expedition began, Jin Fozhuang led his men to conquer Nanchang twice. After the conquest of Nanchang, in order to win an early victory in the Northern Expedition, Jin Fozhuang took the initiative at the military conference and proposed that he be willing to return to Zhejiang, Shanghai, and other places to secretly plan a rapid uprising of the Zhejiang army and other units through the old relations between superiors and subordinates in the military before.
Jin Fozhuang's proposal was appreciated and supported by Bai Chongxi, chief of staff of the General Headquarters attending the meeting. Therefore, Jiang wrote a secret letter to Chen Guofu, who lived in Shanghai, and decided to send Golden Buddha Zhuang to lead the graduates of the Whampoa Military Academy, Gu Mingshi, as an assistant, to secretly go to Shanghai to carry out counter-offensive activities.
In December 1926, the Golden Buddha Village took the British Pacific Steamship from jiujiang and went down the river to the east. Unexpectedly, after boarding the ship, the whereabouts were leaked, and the ship arrived at the Xiaguan Wharf in Nanjing, where Sun Chuanfang's garrison commander Meng Zhaoyue and gendarmerie commander Wang Qichang had ordered martial law in Xiaguan and sent inspectors to get on board to search the ship, and immediately arrested Jin Fozhuang and Gu Mingshi.
After the arrest of Golden Buddha Zhuang, the comrades in Shanghai tried in many ways to rescue him, but all efforts were in vain, and Golden Buddha Zhuang was eventually killed at the age of 30. Just a month after the death of Jin Fozhuang, his friend Guo Jun was shot black on the battlefield, and Mao Yanzhen, who was also the core backbone of the organization, was also killed by the Assassins. As a result, the three backbones who first joined Whampoa were all sacrificed. The sacrifice of Jin Fozhuang and others has long been considered a conspiracy and trickery of Chiang.
In 1927, the revolutionary army conquered Nanjing, and Yan Ruizhen had the opportunity to go to Nanjing to find the bones of her husband. But after searching for more than a month, there was still no result, which led to the scene at the beginning of the article.
With the help of Huang Fuxing, Yan Ruizhen found Bai Chongxi and asked him to help find the remains of the Golden Buddha Village. Bai Chongxi has always favored the Golden Buddha Zhuang, not only giving Yan Ruizhen a pension of 2,000 pieces of ocean, but also using all his strength to help find it, but after searching for several months, there was still no result.
On the eve of the Spring Festival in 1928, Yan Ruizhen saw that there was no hope of searching, so he boarded the train back to Dongyang. On the train, she met an officer who had served under Sun Chuanfang. When asked about the whereabouts of the Golden Buddha Village, the officer told Yan Ruizhen that the Golden Buddha Village was shot and killed in Yuhuatai and could go to Yuhuatai to find it.
When Yan Ruizhen heard this news, he got the treasure, so he got off at Zhenjiang Station and returned to Nanjing by car to look for it. In Nanjing Yuhuatai, Yan Ruizhen looked around, and the mountains at the Yuhuatai were undulating and there were thousands of deserted graves. Yan Ruizhen knew that her husband was lying in these desolate graves, but where did he go to find it?
At this time, just as Yan Ruizhen was hesitating and crying in the cold wind, an old man who cut thatched grass told Yan Ruizhen that there was a guarantee living outside the south gate that all gun murderers, no one collected the body, would be buried by him, and marked with wooden stakes, where to inquire about the possible results.
Under the guidance of the old man, Yan Ruizhen found a guarantee, consulted the collection book, and sure enough, it contained her husband's name. Before a deserted grave, a wooden stake was dug up, on which were written the words "Golden Buddha Village", and the arduous search for a year finally came to fruition, yan Ruizhen held the stake and cried bitterly.
In April 1928, Nanjing held a solemn memorial service for the Golden Buddha Village, with Chen Cheng as the host of the memorial service, Huang Fuxing reading the memorial text, and the authorities sent a link from Jiang to xia. At that time, it was planned to bury the Golden Buddha Village on the edge of the West Lake, but because the West Lake had already issued a regulation prohibiting burials in the foothills of the West Lake, the remains of the Golden Buddha Village could only be temporarily left in a temple in Hangzhou.
In October 1934, Yan Ruizhen brought the remains of the Golden Buddha Village back to Dongyang and buried them on the West Niuwei Mountain in Liangdu Village. As a result, the loyal bones that had been wandering for 8 years finally returned to their hometown, and the leaves fell back to their roots. Golden Buddha Zhuang is a legendary hero, and his name deserves to be remembered by future generations. Yan Ruizhen is an infatuated person, and she is also an admirable and strange woman.
