Founding General Hong Xuezhi was a legendary general in his life, twice awarded the rank of general, twice as the general logistics minister, and also served as the deputy commander of the Chinese Volunteer Army.
Moreover, General Hong Xuezhi has an open-minded personality, is funny and humorous, and many interesting things have happened to him.
Although General Hong Xuezhi is a famous general in hundreds of battles, unlike xu Shiyou, Song Shilun and other people, General Hong is not good at drinking, and can push and push on some occasions when drinking is needed.
However, some occasions can not be pushed off, what to do? Hong Xuezhi thought of a good way.
Once at a banquet, Hong Xuezhi shouted, "Bring the wine!" ”
The old comrades-in-arms all looked at him strangely and said, "Old Hong, haven't you learned to drink in a few days?" ”
Hong Xuezhi smiled: "Do you still need to learn when you drink?" If you want to drink it, you will! "After saying that, the toast is a big mouthful.
Seeing this, some people will ask: "Doesn't Hong Xuezhi not drink?" How can I drink it again? ”
In fact, Hong Xuezhi drank it, but instead of swallowing it into his stomach, he prepared a handkerchief, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and spit the wine on the handkerchief.
Everyone originally wanted to see his jokes, but they didn't expect Hong Xuezhi to have this trick, and they all thought that he really learned to drink, and never forced him to drink again.
Of course, Hong Xuezhi only played a little slippery on drinking, and in his work, General Hong Xuezhi absolutely could not tolerate being sloppy.
When Hong Xuezhi was the chief logistics minister, he had to inquire about every penny of the department's account, and once, Hong Xuezhi went down to check and found that there was one missing horse, so he asked about the whereabouts of the horse.
The manager said: "Unfortunately, the horse died. Hong Xuezhi asked: "The goose has left a sound, the horse has died and the skin has been left, but what about the horse skin?" ”
The manager could not hide from it, so he had to say: "Sold the horse skin, sold for 50 yuan." ”
Hong Xuezhi immediately held out his hand and said, "Let's hand it over." This horse is the horse of the country, living to contribute to the country, and dead can also make some money for the country. ”
The manager had to obediently hand over the 50 yuan to the public.
Afterwards, Hong Xuezhi warned everyone: "You hide 50 pieces today, he hides 100 pieces tomorrow, and someone will dare to hide 1,000 pieces the day after tomorrow!" These money are all the people's hard-earned money, so if they are hidden, the people's hearts will be hidden, and we will become the Kuomintang! ”
In the 1960s, Hong Xuezhi was sent to Baotun Shengli Farm in Tongliao City, Jilin Province, and became a pig.
At that time, even people could not eat enough, let alone pigs, so those pigs often ran out and nibbled on the crops in the field.
Every time Hong Xuezhi had to go and drive the pigs back, he also pointed at the pigs and scolded: "You pigs have eight precepts, it is really difficult to manage!" Even I don't pay attention to it, see clearly, I am Hong Xuezhi! ”
But where do these pigs know you Hong Xuezhi? Finally Hong Xuezhi thought of a way to get a few barrels of lees, give the pigs to eat, and after eating, they slept and never ran around again.
Afterwards, everyone praised Hong Xuezhi for having a way, and Hong Xuezhi also laughed and said, "I have managed hundreds of thousands of troops, and I still can't manage these pigs?" ”
In 1988, Hong Xuezhi was awarded the rank of general again after a gap of 33 years, which was unique in our army.
Someone once asked Hong Xuezhi: "You are already a general, why do you have to accept the second title?" ”
Hong Xuezhi smiled and said, "I don't want it either, but the organization says that if you don't award titles, others won't be able to award titles." I can't always delay everyone's business because of myself, and when I bite my teeth, I become a general again. ”
After this award, an old comrade-in-arms of north Korea also jokingly asked Hong Xuezhi: "After more than 30 years, you are still a general, and it seems that there has been no progress!" ”
In fact, when the rank was awarded in 1988, the general was the highest rank, but Hong Xuezhi was not easy to say, so he said humorously: "You don't know this, right? The characteristic of our country is That Hedong thirty years ago, and it is still Hedong thirty years later. ”
This sentence is so wonderful that it explains both the problem of being a general and The consistent foreign relations of China, which has made the North Koreans feel at ease.
In fact, the reason why Hong Xuezhi was awarded the rank of general for the second time was not so complicated, because he was a member of the Central Military Commission at that time, and according to the regulations on the award of titles, the members of the Central Military Commission were all awarded generals, so Hong Xuezhi also had to accept this rank.
General Hong Xuezhi was so humorous and open-minded that he naturally enjoyed a long life, and he died of illness in 2006 at the age of 93.
