He was a small soldier, but he taught the deputy commander, who later became a marshal, and he also became a founding major general
In our army, many generals are very senior, and they were only teenagers when they joined the Red Army, such as Tu Xidao, who was 14 years old in the Red Army. However, at that time, he was too young to go to the front line to fight, so he was arranged to the Red First Division of the Red First Army and served as a service soldier.
Tu Xidao's daily job was to do all kinds of chores, and once his unit went to the river to set up a village, he ran to the river to fight the water used by the troops. When he came to the river, he saw a man standing in the river, stunned by the fish swimming around.
When he wanted to fetch water, he didn't care about this person, and directly scooped water in the river with a bucket. However, his movements were too big, and the people in the water were startled, and as soon as they turned around, they said Tu Xidao, saying that his little devil's head did not squeak at all.
Being complained about by others for no reason, Tu Xidao was also very angry, and began to teach the people in the river, saying that it is rare to have time to rest now, you are still here to watch the fish, and when you want to rest after the war, you don't have to rest.
The man in the river laughed and said that he was not here to see the fish, he was washing his feet in the river. Tu Xidao was still very angry, and learned the way the company commander taught him, and continued to teach the people in the river.
Tu Xidao said that the river is so cold, you are so thin, it is easy to get sick, you don't know how to cherish your body, how to fight when you are sick, hurry up and go back to the army.
The tall skinny man in the river said that he would go back to the army now, quickly walked ashore, put on his shoes, and walked back to the camp with Tu Xidao. Tu Xidao felt that he was very angry and taught an adult a lesson.
However, as he walked along Tu Xi Dao, he found a problem, and when he saw a tall thin man, he had to salute him, and even his company commander and battalion commander saluted him, but he couldn't understand it.
After he returned to the team, he asked his comrades-in-arms what the tall thin man was doing just now, and why everyone had to salute him. The comrade-in-arms widened his eyes and said, you don't even know him, he is deputy commander Xu Xiangqian.
Tu Xidao was still proud just now, and now his heart clucked a little, it was over! What a mistake it was that a small serviceman of his had taught the deputy commander a lesson, and he had just walked shoulder to shoulder with the deputy commander.
He was embarrassed, wanted to apologize to Xu Xiangqian, and wanted to avoid it. Tu Xidao had not yet thought about what to do, at this time Xu Xiangqian was about to leave, he found Tu Xidao's company commander and battalion commander, not to punish him, but to praise him.
Xu Xiangqian said that this little devil head was very concerned about others, was a good seedling, and should focus on cultivation, and left after the instructions. He also deliberately patted Tu Xidao's shoulder, and Tu Xidao was still in a daze.
However, this beat woke Tu Xidao up, and he knew that Xu Xiangqian did not want to punish himself, and he was finally relieved. Tu Xidao then performed very well, and was awarded the title of founding major general in 1955.
