Recently, watching the TV series "Lovely China", there is a scene that is unforgettable, that is, after Fang Zhimin was arrested, when the leader of the enemy came to the prison to fake "visit" and told him that Zeng Hongyi had so-called "abandoned the dark and cast light".
At this time, the indignant Fang Zhimin took the case and scolded Zeng Hongyi, a traitor, as a shameless person.
Faced with the choice of life and death, the righteous and awe-inspiring Fang Zhimin wrote categorically: Surrender? What can't be done, never can't. Abandon your original faith... Join them, join them in robbery, captivity, scraping, squeezing, betraying lovely China, killing innocent workers and peasants; keep your own head, let your friend's head roll off the ground; keep your own blood, let your friend's blood, mark it out. Can this be done?
yes! yes! If only it could be done. Is that still human? It's a dog! It's a pig! It's a beast! No, it's still something that pigs and dogs don't eat!
Heaven and earth are heroic, and the soul of the country is magnificent. Here, Fang Zhimin denounces the traitor, first of all, expressing his determination to regard death as a homecoming; secondly, he is extremely indignant at Zeng Hongyi, a traitor, because the losses he has caused to the revolutionary cause are immeasurable.
So, who is Zeng Hongyi, who deserves Fang Zhimin's deep hatred and anger?
Zeng Hongyi, also known as Zeng Hongyi, Zeng Hongyi, Zeng Ding, a native of Wan'an, Jiangxi, joined the revolution when he was a student of the First Normal School of Nanchang Province, and was one of the early party and league members of Nanchang, Jiangxi, and was later expelled from the First Normal School for leading the Nanchang League members and students to actively support the "May Thirtieth" Movement. The organization sent him to study at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow, SOVIET Union. After returning to China, he was appointed as the "central representative" by the "Left" dogmatic leaders to enter the Jiangsu District of Northeast Jiangxi (later developed into the Fujian-Zhejiang Gansu District).
At that time, under the leadership of Fang Zhimin and Shao Shiping, the Soviet Region and the Red Tenth Army in northeast Jiangxi were dealing with the "encirclement and suppression" of the Kuomintang army and achieving major military victories.
However, as soon as Zeng Hongyi got off the bus, he presided over an enlarged meeting of the Special Committee for Northeast Jiangxi as a "representative of the Central Committee," vigorously promoted the "Left" adventurism program, completely negated the work of the base areas in northeast Jiangxi, accused The northeast of Jiangxi, headed by Fang Zhimin, of "the line of the rich peasants and the influence of the rich peasants in the work of the Soviet government is particularly severe," and claimed that he wanted to "set up the political defense bureau of the anti-corruption organs" "in the shortest possible time," and so on. Zeng Hongyi became the central plenipotentiary representative who "has the right to decide everything."
At that time, Zeng Hongyi was intimidated by Fang Zhimin's prestige in the Soviet region of northeastern Jiangxi, and did not dare to be arrogant, so he set his sights on Shao Shiping (chairman of the Central Military Commission), Huang Dao (director of organization), and others. He told the Red Tenth Army that "the leadership of the Central Military Commission is still very weak," that "the organization department of the party's special committee cannot actually play the central organizational role," and that it is "a serious problem," and so on, and then expressed to the central authorities that "we have now decided to have a planned and organized transformation of these leading elements." Fang Zhimin, Shao Shiping, Huang Dao, Wu Xianmin, the founders of the Party and the Red Army in northeast Jiangxi were excluded from the core leadership of the Party and the Red Army. Although Fang Zhimin retained the title of chairman of the Soviet government, his leadership over the Soviet Party and the Red Army was greatly weakened.
After Zeng Hongyi became the leader, the time coincided with the Kuomintang launching the third "encirclement and suppression" and implementing the "fortress policy," and Zeng Hongyi made a "tit-for-tat confrontation" and proposed to "besiege the fortress for a long time." Fang Zhimin and others opposed this erroneous military guideline, pointing out sharply: "The protracted siege of the fortress is an adventurous attack and a strategy of hitting a nail."
Zeng Hongyi insisted on going his own way and practicing absolutely centralized command in operational guidance, so that it was easy to deviate from reality, so that the red tenth army's combat operations were passive. As a result, only one enemy fort in Guixi, Xiajialing, could not be attacked six times, and the soldiers of the Red Army fought bloodily and suffered heavy losses.
Zeng Hongyi's military incompetence caused the military struggle in northeastern Jiangxi to fall silent for a time, and this situation reached Zeng Hongyi's diversion of energy to engage in "repression," in which he declared in a letter to his superiors that "recently reactionary [faction] activities have been cracked in the Soviet zone, such as Hengfeng and Guixi, which have cracked the organization of the AB regiment." The so-called "crimes" of the "AB Regiment" "are mainly to take advantage of individual mistakes and weaknesses in village and township work to agitate the masses against the village and township Soviets and to carry out counter-revolutionary sabotage work by trying to break into the Red Army."
As a result, Zeng Hongyi imprisoned and indiscriminately killed a number of good comrades, causing serious losses to the Soviet area and the Red Army, causing the Red Tenth Army to be passive everywhere and wasting its strength in vain, and the base areas lost nearly half of them. It caused great harm to the revolutionary cause in the Fujian-Zhejiang-Gansu region, and was called a "disaster star" by many old comrades in the Soviet region who worked with him at that time.
In November 1934, the Central Committee announced the establishment of the Red Tenth Army as the advance detachment of the anti-Japanese resistance in the north, led by Fang Zhimin and Liu Yuxi, to continue to fight the Japanese in the north, while Zeng Hongyi stayed in the local work as the secretary of the Fujian-Zhejiang-Gansu Provincial Party Committee and the political commissar of the military region.
However, at this time, Zeng Hongyi, as an important leader, was pessimistic and disappointed in the revolution at the critical juncture of the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" and the defeat of the anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaign, spreading the argument that "the dispatch of the field army (that is, the main force of the Red Army in the Central Soviet Region--- the lead- and ---) was not a victorious attack, but forced to no way", "five encirclements and suppression of the enemy is victory", "the Chinese Soviet movement has come to an end", "Bolsevik must learn to retreat", and other arguments, and privately called the Central Bureau of the CPC Central Committee. It was proposed to move the provincial-level party, government, and military mass organs in Fujian, Zhejiang, and Gansu to northern Fujian, and to prepare to abandon this Soviet area to escape for their lives.
Zeng Hongyi's reactionary remarks were severely criticized by his superiors, and he was suspended from his posts as secretary of the provincial party committee and political commissar of the military region; soon after, due to the loss of the Gansu district of Fujian, Zhejiang, and Gansu, Zeng Hongyi went to Shanghai, and then went to Nanjing by his fellow villagers to handle the formalities of surrendering himself, and joined the Kuomintang, becoming a shameful traitor, receiving a monthly salary of 260 yuan, and later working as a Russian translator at the airport, as an editor on the textbook editorial committee, and other small staff.
At this very time, the Northern Anti-Japanese Advance Detachment led by Fang Zhimin and others, the commanders and fighters of the Red Army, turned to battle with painstaking efforts, fought in severe cold, endured hunger, waded through mountains and rivers, dared to charge into the battlefield against an enemy ten times their own, galloped across the battlefield, dealt a heavy blow to the kuomintang's reactionary rule, publicized the Communist Party's anti-Japanese stand politically, militarily cooperated with the strategic shift of the main force of the Central Red Army, and wrote down a heroic struggle history of "bloody battles in the southeast and half of the wall red.", and their deeds can be sung and wept.
However, this heroic force was surrounded and blocked by the enemy's absolute superiority in troops, the enemy was outnumbered, the enemy was strong and we were weak, and finally failed; later, when the remnants returned to the old base area around Huaiyu Mountain, Zeng Hongyi, who had become a traitor, had already lost his base area and slipped away, so that the retreating Red Tenth Army had no foothold and suffered even more heavy losses. Fang Zhimin, a famous revolutionary, politician, military figure, outstanding leader of the peasant movement in our Party, and founder of the revolutionary base areas of Fujian, Zhejiang, and Gansu and the Red Tenth Army during the agrarian revolutionary war, died heroically.
On the eve of liberation, Zeng Hongyi, a disgraceful traitor, sneaked back to his hometown of Wan'an due to difficulties in life, because he had been away from home since the end of 1925, and the people around him did not know his past history. Zeng Hongyi told people that he had been studying outside, and later worked as an editor, and when he was a military doctor during the War of Resistance, he returned from the victory of the War of Resistance, so he became an English and history teacher in the high school of Wan'an County High School.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zeng Hongyi was arrested and brought to justice, and the public trial found him responsible for the Red Army's anti-Japanese advance team in the north, and that he had become a shameful traitor and engaged in counter-revolutionary activities, seriously undermining the people's liberation cause, and sentenced him to death and deprived of his political rights for life. However, before the day he "verified his body and tied him up to the execution ground", Zeng Hongyi, a shameful traitor who was denounced by Fang Zhimin, finally sat in prison and died of severe tuberculosis.
