preface
The experience of General Xu Shiyou's life can be described by the two words of legend, and even the legends left behind are tireless, because people think from the bottom of their hearts that these legends are the real Xu Shiyou.

Xu Shiyou, as the founding general, is a helpful and good general, for example, General Xu likes to help people come up with ideas: how to correctly track down the girl they like.
Even if he sees his subordinates writing love letters, he will not help but come forward to point out one or two, and even help write love letters...
Xu Shiyou asked questions, and finally asked a daughter-in-law
Xu Shiyou officially joined the revolution in 1926, and it was also at the low tide of the revolution that Xu Shiyou, who had firm ideals and convictions, successfully became a member of the Communist Party of China.
It was in this year that he returned to his hometown, joined the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and in November 1927 took part in the famous Jute Uprising, beginning a revolutionary career in the people's army.

Since joining the Red Army, Xu Shiyou has experienced many anti-"encirclement and suppression", and after the failure of the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaign, the Red Army began a 25,000-mile long march.
During this period, Xu Shiyou participated in the death squad seven times in a row, twice as the captain of the death squad, four of which were injured, that is, during the Long March, Xu Shiyou happened to meet a hot-blooded young woman who had just defected to the Red Army, Lei Mingzhen.
It was at this glance that Xu Shiyou had a good feeling for Lei Mingzhen, and in his heart he decided that this girl must marry her as his wife.
The fate between Xu Shiyou and Lei Mingzhen should start from a newspaper.
At that time, as soon as the Red Fourth Front and the Red Front had converged, some people published articles in the malicious newspapers to stir up relations between the two armies.
These newspapers also slowly flowed into the hands of the Four Fronts, and became more and more intense, and emotions appeared in the hearts of many people.

Against this background, Xu Shiyou held a meeting at which he said: "Now that we have met with the Central Red Army in victory, the revolutionary situation has undergone earth-shaking changes, and at the same time some things have happened that we cannot imagine, and these problems will affect the revolutionary friendship!" ”
Speaking of this, Xu Shiyou's voice increased by an octave: "There are also some problems within our four fronts, so we all have strictly managed our mouths, don't go out and talk nonsense to affect unity." ”
As soon as Xu Shiyou finished speaking, someone stood up and said, "Commander, it's not that we went out and talked nonsense, there was evidence, and they openly criticized us in the newspaper." ”
Xu Shiyou took the newspaper and looked at the contents of it, and immediately became angry and shouted, "Where did this newspaper come from?" ”
After some investigation, it was finally found that the newspaper was brought by the military grain station, and Xu Shiyou immediately decided to let the director of the security bureau find out the reason.
The head of the security bureau directly gathered all the girls at the grain station and asked bluntly, "I want you to speak truthfully..."..."
Where a group of eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls had seen such a battle, they were directly frightened and began to cry, and no matter who asked, they all said that they were crying and crying, and did not say anything.
After Xu Shiyou learned of this, he pointed to the director of the security bureau and began to train: "How did you become the director of the security bureau, I was when you figured out who spread false information in our team, not to let you interrogate a group of little girls, are you interrogating prisoners?" ”
"Come with me and see what I ask." After saying that, Xu Shiyou took the director of the security bureau and came to the girls who had been crying.
Looking at the crying little girls in front of him, Xu Shiyou felt that his head began to grow, narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't cry, whoever is crying I will hang a bucket of dung for her!" ”
Everyone knows that their military commander's temper is not good, and when they hear the commander's words, everyone immediately becomes quiet.
Xu Shiyou saw that everyone was quiet, so he said softly in a harmonious voice: "Let's sit down and talk." ”
General Xu Shiyou applauded
Seeing that everyone was seated, Xu Shiyou continued: "You are not wrong, the wrong is the director of the security bureau, I asked him to understand the situation from you, he actually let you punish the station, I think it is he who should be punished, so I apologize to you on his behalf." ”
At this point, the sitting girls began to speak with grievance: "Commander, we don't know how that newspaper came from. ”
As soon as he finished saying these words, the station commander of the military grain station ran to them, and after comforting everyone, he went straight to Xu Shiyou and saluted a standard military salute, saying: "Commander, the newspaper was brought to the military grain station by me, and it has nothing to do with them." ”
"After you have picked up the grain to the grain station, you can punish me as much as you want!" The station manager of the military grain station is also a straight person, and she is Lei Mingzhen.
Xu Shiyou heard her say that he could pick up a load of grain, tilted his head to look at the grain placed in the corner, and looked at her thin body in surprise, not believing that she could pick up this load of grain.

Seeing Xu Shiyou's expression of disbelief, the grain station chief walked directly over, easily picked up this load of grain, and walked around in a showy manner.
When Xu Shiyou saw this scene, he finally had a smile on his face and asked, "Have you worked at home and been a soldier for a few years?" ”
Lei Mingzhen replied directly: "I have done it, since my father died, I have been working, I was seven years old, and now I have been a soldier for three years." ”
As soon as she said her words, everyone present was shocked, especially after Xu Shiyou knew Lei Mingzhen's origins, her eyes changed.
Xu Shiyou looked at Lei Mingzhen and said, "I have been a soldier for three years, and I am also a veteran!" ”
After learning that these girls in the military food station were all from poor families and each capable person, Xu Shiyou immediately admitted his mistake to them, saying that he regarded them as big ladies who could not be carried on their shoulders and could not be lifted.
Finally, he and Lei Mingzhen said: "You are all good, but in the future, you must remember not to take any newspaper in front of yourself, our newspaper is revolutionary, but the people who speak in the newspaper are not necessarily revolutionary!" ”
Xu Shiyou and Chairman Mao talk
After saying this, Xu Shiyou looked at Lei Mingzhen and said a profound sentence: "Go, go home!" ”
Everyone present felt incredible, this is still the grumpy Xu Junchang, how to speak softly, and this does not want to interrogate, the question asked seems to be on a blind date.
After the two got married, someone laughed and said: "Commander Xu is different, and he can ask a daughter-in-law when he asks questions!" ”
Xu Shiyou confessed to Lei Mingzhen: Are you willing to be my wife?
At this time, Xu Shiyou sat quietly in the room, and he seemed to be calm, his heart had already become worried, and he directly said to the crowd: "Tell me, why didn't I ask her name at that time!" ”
Hearing Xu Shiyou say this, the comrades around him would all smile, and his guards first asked, "Commander, you are talking about the short one!" ”
Xu Shiyou hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, it's not her!" The political commissar also teased: "Is it the one who combs the two little braids?" ”
Tu 丨 Xu Shiyou smiled
"No, alas..." Just as he was about to say something, Xu Shiyou saw a group of people around him, all looking at themselves with "bad intentions", and suddenly found himself deceived.
As soon as he slapped the table, he stood up and left, the look of "falling into the wilderness and fleeing" made the people present laugh, and it turned out that Commander Xu also had such a cute name.
Xu Shiyou asked countless people, and finally found out the girl who made him remember yesterday, it turned out that her name was Lei Mingzhen.
Xu Shiyou, who was an acute son, directly sent someone to invite Lei Mingzhen to his office location, giving the reason that there was a job to talk about.
As soon as the two met, Xu Shiyou first asked, "Lei Mingzhen, have you eaten breakfast?" Seeing that Lei Mingzhen shook his head, Xu Shiyou directly pushed his breakfast in front of her, signaling her to eat while it was hot.
Seeing that Lei Mingzhen did not speak, Xu Shiyou scratched his head and said to Lei Mingzhen: "Let's talk about our own problems, this matter was originally discussed by the political commissar to you, but I think this is my own affair, why let others intervene, you are right." ”
General Xu Shiyou walked through the farmland
At this time, Lei Mingzhen was dazed, she didn't know what the military commander had come to find her for.
Seeing that Lei Mingzhen nodded, Xu Shiyou said directly to the point: "Would you like to come to the military headquarters?" ”
Hearing Xu Shiyou's words, Lei Mingzhen raised her head and said, "I'm afraid that my ability is not enough to do things well." ”
"What ability is not enough, two people to live a life mainly depends on whether they are willing or not!" Xu Shiyou, who was grinning greatly, "confessed" to Lei Mingzhen without fear, but this method and process seemed to be somewhat inaccurate.
Lei Mingzhen stared at Xu Shiyou with big eyes and said with a shocked face: "Live a life? ”
"Yes, live a life!" Xu Shiyou was afraid that Lei Mingzhen would not understand what he meant, and explained: "This revolutionary couple and a fighting couple, he also wants to live a life!" ”
Speaking of this, Lei Mingzhen seemed to understand something, hurriedly stood up, and Xu Shiyou looked at her: "What do you mean, you have to take a stand, this matter is consciously voluntary, I think you are suitable!" ”
General Xu Shiyou shook hands with others cordially
At this time, Lei Mingzhen, who was full of grievances and shyness, did not know what he should say, and finally covered his face and pushed the door out.
When Xu Shiyou saw this scene, he felt that he was a little blind: "Is there anything wrong with what you said, why did you run away?" ”
On the other hand, Lei Mingzhen was also in a conversation with the political commissar, of course, the content of the conversation was the marriage event, and the political commissar said to Lei Mingzhen: "Comrade Lei Mingzhen, do you take care of the life of Commander Xu?" ”
Lei Mingzhen deliberately pretended not to understand: "Political Commissar, isn't there a guard to take care of Commander Xu's life?" ”
At this moment, it was the political commissar's turn to be anxious: "Oh, Comrade Lei Mingzhen, can this guard and his wife be the same thing, why don't you understand?" ”
Lei Mingzhen said at this time: "Political Commissar, you can't say anything earlier, why do you have to go around in circles?" ”
When the political commissar heard Lei Mingzhen's words, he immediately understood that Lei Mingzhen had also taken a fancy to Xu Shiyou, but he was embarrassed to say it, and immediately said: "Okay, I understand what you two mean, then this matter is so fixed!" ”

"What's up?" Lei Mingzhen said anxiously, "Get married! "Who are you marrying?"
Lei Mingzhen explained: "The military commander did not propose to me, how can he say that he is married, and this is also a manifestation of respect for female comrades!" ”
In the end, under the mediation of the political commissar, Xu Shiyou and Lei Mingzhen sat together again.
The two sat together for a while, but they didn't say a word, or relied on General Xu Shiyou to open the conversation box, and Xu Shiyou asked, "Come?" Lei Mingzhen responded, "Well, here it comes! ”
Xu Shiyou's response made Lei Mingzhen a little unbearable, only to see him also reply: "Well, it is good to come." ”
Lei Mingzhen looked directly at the door and said, "Commander, aren't you looking for me to have something to say? ”
The upright Xu Shiyou explained: "It's okay to talk, but it's not okay to bow your head!" This made Lei Mingzhen not understand, and whispered, "You have a violent temper, who dares to make you bow your head!" ”
"Isn't proposing a marriage proposal a bowed head?" Xu Shiyou narrowed his eyes and said, Lei Mingzhen was anxious: "Then you can propose with your head held high!" ”
But she forgot Xu Shiyou's personality, and Xu Shiyou said directly: "Just say it, whether you want to be my wife or not!" ”

Lei Mingzhen looked at Xu Shiyou: "If I don't want to, can I sit in front of you?" "Good! That's it! After speaking, Xu Shiyou stood up and disappeared in front of Lei Mingzhen.
At this time, Lei Mingzhen was a little overwhelmed: "What is decided?" Looking at Xu Shiyou, who was "fleeing in a hurry", Lei Mingzhen shouted at him: "You haven't proposed to me yet, how can you decide!" ”
In this way, Xu Shiyou and Lei Mingzhen, who had a big grin, also got married in October 1934 during the Long March.
Xu Shiyou helped write love letters
General Xu Shiyou is not only straightforward, but also particularly fond of helping others, especially in areas where he is "better at", such as writing love letters.
In 1955, General Xu Shiyou was appointed commander of the Nanjing Military Region, and one day when he was idle, Xu Shiyou arrived at the military cadets to see how the cadets were studying.
Suddenly, Xu Shiyou found that in a classroom, there was only one person sitting there, and what was written there, he slowly walked to the student.

And when this student had just finished writing the letter and was preparing to seal it, he was suddenly frightened by a loud voice behind him, and Xu Shiyou, who suddenly appeared, said: "Boy, is this a love letter?" ”
The young man in Xu Shiyou's mouth, named Lai Shuize, joined the army in January 1950 and followed the troops into Korea in October of that year to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
On the Korean battlefield, Lai Shui-taek experienced more than a hundred battles, and finally gloriously became a combat hero and returned to his hometown.
And the girl he wrote to was led by the county magistrate and secretary of his hometown, the woman's name was Wang Lanying, before he was about to return to the army, the county magistrate and secretary were thousands of instructions: "After returning to the army, we must write more letters to consolidate this feeling!" ”
Lai Shuize heard the voice and quickly turned back, found that it was General Xu Shiyou, and immediately stood up and saluted a standard military salute: "Good commander!" ”
Xu Shiyou looked at Lai Shuize and said, "Young man, I see that you have too many scribbled characters in your letter, and the girl will think that you are a strange temper!" ”

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Shiyou asked Lai Shuize, "What is the identity of your lover, and why did you use the word 'dear' in the first place?" ”
Lai Shuize immediately replied proudly: "The chief of the report, she is a model worker in the county, a representative of the township people and the leader of the women's brigade!" ”
Xu Shiyou nodded: "Rural girls are simple and pure, and revolutionary, but when you come here, you will call people 'dear', and people's girls will not be used to it." ”
"Besides, your love now is obviously not hot enough, and when you get to that heat, it's not too late for you to call people 'dear'!" Xu Shiyou looked at Lai Shuize and asked, "Can I read the letter?" ”
After taking Lai Shuize's love letter, Xu Shiyou looked at it carefully, and his straight-forward personality made Xu Shiyou say directly: "Although I Xu Shiyou is not literate, I am still more than enough than you!" ”
Finally, Xu Shiyou waved a big hand: "Come, I'll help you write a letter!" After saying that, Xu Shiyou wrote a love letter in one go.

The general content of the letter is:
Hello, my Comrade Lan Ying!
The letter has been received, do not worry. I am really happy to learn in the letter that you have become a model worker in the county and have also been elected as a representative of the township people.
One of us is a model, the other is a hero, can be regarded as a natural pair, to create a pair, we want to glory to the end, never change color.
In addition, you often come to my parents' house to help them do farm work, and I want to thank you very much. Unmarried girls go to work in their in-laws' homes, which is a new thing after the founding of New China, but we must pay attention not to tire out our bones...
After writing the letter, let Lai Shuize see it, by the way, "study", under the gratitude and consent of Lai Shuize, Xu Shiyou personally helped him send this different "love letter" out.
In September of that year, the arrival of autumn made the air cooler, and Lai Shuize's comrades-in-arms were out, and he wrote letters to his fiancée in the dormitory.

Coincidentally, General Xu Shiyou came to check on internal hygiene at this time, and when he saw Xu Shiyou coming, Lai Shuize hurriedly got up to greet the chief.
General Xu Shiyou saw Lai Shuize's dormitory, which was clean and tidy, with good internal affairs, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.
Seeing that this little brother was writing love letters before, he strode over to Lai Shuize, with a rich expression on his face, and asked with concern in his mouth: "Do you want me to ghostwrite it?" ”
Lai Shuize listened and hurriedly said, "Yes, of course I want to!" ", I have to, General Xu Shiyou's love letter is really useful, only more than two months, the relationship between the two is growing by leaps and bounds.
Wang Zhen led a condolence group to greet General Xu Shiyou
Xu Shiyou read Wang Lanying's letter, and then he took up his pen and wrote it, which contained such a classic passage:
Lan Ying, you mentioned in your letter that I will graduate from the Military Academy in the future, and I will not change my mind when I am promoted. I'll tell you this honestly, no.
As long as the two of us are in agreement, we will grow old and the thunder will not disperse, and I must do it, as the song in our hometown mountain song: "Don't learn to sieve a thousand eyes, you have to learn a candle core!" ”
Love you to the end, please rest assured that you have a hundred...
Not to mention, the two love letters written by General Xu Shiyou for Lai Shuize really had an immediate effect, and it wasn't long before Lai Shuize and Wang Lanying were happy and happy.

And the two love letters he wrote for Lai Shuize also became a good and good thing that General Xu Shiyou himself often hung on his lips, because under his "efforts", he achieved a perfect marriage!
