In the scorching summer of 1975, the Sichuan police received a report from the masses that a female skeleton had been found in Jingangpo, Gele Mountain, Chongqing.
When the police arrived at the scene, they saw a large amount of long black hair in a dilapidated bunker, because the landscape had been washed away for many years, so that there were not many bones left.
(Yang Hanxiu)
After the police confirmed that it was the revolutionary martyr Yang Hanxiu who had been sleeping in the bunker for decades, and the blood had moisturized the thousands of miles of green mountains.
Regarding Yang Hanxiu's life, we must start from the province of Sichuan, Sichuan is surrounded by mountains, planes cannot fly, and cannons cannot penetrate.
During the Republic of China period, Sichuan had a unique geographical environment, which should have been rich and prosperous, but because of the warlords' melee, the people at the bottom did not have a good life.
Sichuan is the province with the largest number of warlords, among which the more powerful ones are Liu Wenhui, Deng Xihou, Liu Xiang, Wang Lingji, and Yang Hanxiu's uncle Yang Sen.
Among the five warlords, Janssen's private life was the most chaotic, and his relationship with his children was not good.
According to the book "Autobiography of Zhang Xuesi", written by Zhang Zuolin's son Zhang Xuesi, when Zhang Xuesi went to school, he shared a dormitory with Yang Sen's son, and Yang's roommate often said: "
To bring down my warlord father once and for all!
”
And the Yang Hanxiu we are going to talk about in this article was born on August 15, 1912 in Yang's Zelu, Guang'an County, Sichuan Province, and her father's name was Yang Maoxiu, who was Yang Sen's younger brother.
Yang Hanxiu was the earliest born among the children of the Yang family, so this girl was called Miss Yang from childhood to adulthood.
Yang Hanxiu strongly demanded to study from an early age, so she entered a new classroom to receive education, and in her teenage years, the thing that had the greatest influence on her was the "Ninth Five" massacre caused by British warships in Wanxian County.
In 1926, British warships always caused trouble in the Yangtze River Basin, and three of them opened fire on the Chinese army on the bank of the River in Wanxian On September 5.
Three British warships fired more than three hundred shells and incendiary shells at the urban area of Wanxian County, causing more than 5,000 deaths and injuries to Chinese civilians.
And 14-year-old Yang Hanxiu, who was studying in Wanxian County at that time, watched foreign powers kill my Chinese sons and daughters.
Since then, Yang Hanxiu's heart has become hotter and hotter, and he does not want to be a delicate miss qianjin in the ivory tower, but wants to be a revolutionary fighter who saves the country and the people.
In order to learn more about revolutionary thought, Yang Hanxiu often went to the military headquarters of the 20th Army and asked the director of the political department for advice.
And the director of the political department is the future famous Zhu Dezhu boss.
(Jude when he was young)
At that time, Zhu De was ordered to enter the 20th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and his main task was to do united front work among Yang Sen's troops.
Yang Hanxiu often listened to Zhu De's speeches, and soon established his ideals and life direction, began to pursue the revolutionary road, and admired the soviet spirit of sacrifice.
When the anti-imperialist march was held in Wanxian County, Yang Hanxiu actively participated in the student procession and took to the streets to demonstrate.
Yang Hanxiu's father, Yang Maoxiu, served as a division commander under Yang Sen and led his troops to the south and the north for a long time.
However, Yang Maoxiu was seriously injured in the warlord melee, and realized that his life was imminent, so he entrusted his teenage daughter Yang Hanxiu to his brother Yang Sen.
(Janssen)
Since then, Yang Hanxiu has been living with Yang Sen and living deep in the warlord mansion compound, which is equivalent to becoming a caged bird for the young girl who is eager for revolution.
Yang Sen's personality is more cruel and fierce, he once killed many wives, and he was even more exploitative and squeezed by the people, and the people of Sichuan lived in deep water.
Over time, Yang Hanxiu became more and more disgusted with Yang Sen and wanted to get out of this warlord family.
With the change of the situation, Zhu De left Wanxian County, and the next time he met Yang Hanxiu was fourteen years later.
Although Yang Hanxiu was temporarily separated from the revolutionary mentor, the seeds of light had already taken root in this young girl's heart.
In the process of coming into contact with progressive ideas, Yang Hanxiu met Zhao Zhihe, a primary school teacher, in a school in Quxian County, and the two soon fell in love.
Yang Sen opposed this marriage because Zhao Zhihe's family was very poor, and he had already arranged a family affair for Yang Hanxiu. But Yang Hanxiu insisted on marrying Zhao Zhihe and forming a new family with a primary school teacher.
After the two married, Yang Hanxiu gave birth to two children, the eldest son Zhao Zaimin in 1934, and the daughter Zhao Zaiguo in 1937.
Yang Hanxiu and Zhao Zhihe originally lived in Shanghai, learned foreign languages together, and wanted to study abroad, but the weather was unpredictable, people had bad luck, and her husband died of illness.
According to Zhao Zaimin's recollection: Before, because of the split period between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, it was difficult for his mother Yang Hanxiu to find a revolutionary team, and with the second Kuomintang-Communist cooperation, coupled with the death of his father, his mother wanted to go to Yan'an.
If Yang Hanxiu went to Yan'an to join the anti-Japanese team, he would not be able to take care of his children, so in desperation, he could only send the children to his mother's house.
From Sichuan to northern Shaanxi, Yang Hanxiu went through all kinds of hardships to reach Yan'an, the red holy place in his heart, and entered the Anti-Japanese University and Lu Xun Art College.
At that time, there were no specific statistics on how many progressive young people went to Yan'an, but according to the book "From Yan'an", about 100,000 young people entered Yan'an, of which 40,000 went to the front-line battlefield.
Yang Hanxiu was one of these 100,000 young people, she went to the front line to fight devils, worked as a teacher in the rear school, and during the difficult period of the anti-Japanese resistance, she also went into the mountains to fight guerrillas.
Whether it is the production movement in the rear or the smoke of war on the front line, Yang Hanxiu sacrificed himself before suffering first.
In the spring of 1940, Yang Hanxiu took a letter of recommendation written by his superior leader and set off from Yan'an to Xi'an, where he met Zhu De at Qixian Zhuang.
(Zhu De during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression)
Fourteen years have passed, and Yang Hanxiu knows that communists never engage in specialness, plus she is from a feudal warlord family, so she said to Zhu De:
I am determined to be a rebel in the families of warlords and landlords, to resolutely and thoroughly reform, to change even my name and surname, and to follow the Communist Revolution to the end, even if I have no name and no surname, and I will never be surnamed Yang.
Yang Hanxiu changed her name to Wu Ming because of her excellent performance in the team, so she was honorably admitted to the party in 1942.
After years of tempering, Yang Hanxiu's thinking and ability have been recognized by the party, and this famous Miss Qianjin has grown and transformed in the flames and become a determined revolutionary fighter of the CCP.
Yang Hanxiu gave up his small family for the sake of the country, and although the children in Sichuan lived in the rich Yang family compound, their lives were full of hardships.
According to the recollection of the eldest son Zhao Zaimin: The grandmother's family is very rich and takes good care of the children, but the eldest uncle Yang Hankui is full of anger.
Yang Hankui discriminated against Zhao Zaimin and Zhao Zaiguo, and when he beat the child, he kicked and broke Zhao Zaiguo's ribs, and the child lay on the ground and vomited blood, almost being beaten to death.
Sister Zhao Zaimin, seeing her brother Zhao Zaiguo being beaten, can only cry helplessly. In desperation, The Two Children were sent to live in the grandmother's house in Qu County.
Because these two brothers and sisters, lack of adult care in childhood, malnutrition, health has not been good.
In 1945, Japan surrendered unconditionally, and after fourteen years of arduous resistance, Chinese finally won the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Although Chinese won the victory of the War of Resistance, Chiang Kai-shek has always wanted to fight a civil war, so the clouds of war still hang over the heads of the Chinese nation.
On March 22, 1946, the party organization issued a special task to Yang Hanxiu to go to the upper echelons of the Sichuan Army to do united front work. If Chiang Kai-shek provoked a civil war, he would instigate an uprising of the Sichuan army against Chiang Kai-shek's dictatorship.
After Yang Hanxiu took over the task, he immediately set off for Sichuan, and together with Zhou Enlai, took a plane from the military observation group and went all the way to Chongqing.
However, the Kuomintang agents had been keeping a close eye on Yan'an, and had been keeping a close eye on Zhou Enlai's itinerary, and naturally learned about Yang Hanxiu's itinerary.
So that Yang Hanxiu had not yet arrived in Chongqing, the Kuomintang agents were waiting at the airport, and when Yang Hanxiu's plane landed in Chongqing, he was immediately targeted by the agents.
Yang Hanxiu found that someone was following her, so she entered the crowded station and went all the way to Qu County. He began to use his identity to contact patriotic generals in Sichuan and instigate anti-Chiang Kai-shek struggles.
Yang Hanxiu also took out a large number of materials to support the rebel forces, and The grain alone donated one hundred and thirty-five stones.
According to the recollection of his son Zhao Zaimin, his mother Yang Hanxiu was not afraid of the supervisor of the secret agents, and often went in and out of Yang Sen's mansion to do Yang Sen's ideological work.
At that time, Yang Sen, because of the years of southern conquest and northern warfare, had less than 7,000 troops left in his hands, so he resigned from his military post and became the mayor of Chongqing.
Yang Hanxiu, as Miss Yang, has united many patriotic generals, and she finally has time to go home to see and reunite with the children.
Zhao Zaimin, 12, who had been separated from his mother for nine years, saw a strange woman walk in outside the door.
Grandma said to Zhao Zaimin, "Hurry up, this is your mother!" ”
Zhao Zaimin was stunned at that time, because the love for his mother from childhood to adulthood was very vague, so he looked at his mother in front of him and did not know how to be good.
When Yang Hanxiu saw his son, his heart was very excited, and he took Zhao Zaimin into his arms and held the child and wept bitterly.
The mother was crying, and the son also cried, and Zhao Zaimin finally looked forward to his mother's embrace, and the tears soaked Yang Hanxiu's arm.
Although Yang Hanxiu is very busy, he also tries his best to take time to tutor the children's study, take care of the children's lives, and occasionally when he has leisure time, he will do farm work barefoot and publicize progressive ideas to the people around him.
Every time Yang Hanxiu goes home, he will personally make bean sprouts and tofu for the children, and while doing it, he said that these were all learned in Yan'an, hoping that the children would also be hard and simple.
The son and daughter were originally very weak, but since their mother returned, the brothers and sisters were under the care of Yang Hanxiu, and their bones gradually hardened.
(Yang Hanxiu and his son)
In Sichuan, Yang Hanxiu took care of many martyrs' families, also adopted many martyrs' orphans, and often took his children to nearby welfare institutions to send learning materials and condolences.
Yang Hanxiu even took off her ring and let the children of the almshouse serve as tuition, so she was deeply appreciated by the orphans.
As a revolutionary, Yang Hanxiu did not spend a long time with his children, but more engaged in united front work and united the Sichuan Army.
Because of Yang Hanxiu's outstanding performance, this caused panic among the spies, and in July 1947, a traitor betrayed Yang Hanxiu, so that the military commander immediately set out to arrest Miss Yang.
On a sweltering summer night, Yang Hanxiu was at home in Quxian County, and the children were asleep, when there was a sudden rapid knock outside the door.
After Zhao Zaimin was woken up, his heart was very afraid, and then the gentle voice of his mother Yang Hanxiu sounded in his ears: "Don't be afraid, there is me." ”
The agent rushed into the door, and Zhao Zaimin watched as his mother was taken away, and with his young stature, he naturally could not stop those fierce and vicious agents.
The old man in the family, who had never seen such a battle, held the two children and cried bitterly, and the family spent a sad night in a panic.
Yang Hanxiu was arrested and sent to the police station prison in Quxian County, allowing the enemy to enter and exit by means, and she strictly guarded the secrets of the party and never betrayed the revolution.
The next morning, Zhao Zaimin went to visit Yang Hanxiu in prison, and the mother and son stayed in the iron window for one night.
Zhao Zaimin looked at the heavily guarded prison and looked at his mother next to him, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable.
Yang Hanxiu said to his son:
Mom is not afraid of death, and you are not afraid. Your mother may be sacrificed at any time, even if I am killed, you must be stronger, to become a brave youth, a progressive youth, and avenge your mother when you grow up!
Not long after, Yang Hanxiu was transferred to the provincial special committee prison of the general Yamen, and she always kept the secrets of the underground party and did not reveal anything to the enemy.
Kuomintang officials in Quxian County disagreed internally on how to deal with Yang Hanxiu, and debated endlessly; the underground party was also actively rescuing Yang Hanxiu.
The agent could not grasp the conclusive evidence, and could only warn and threaten Yang Hanxiu with sadness, and then opened the iron door of the prison and released Miss Yang.
Yang Hanxiu regained his freedom and once again used his identity to extensively unite patriotic generals within the Sichuan Army and establish a united front.
For example, during the Longtan Uprising in eastern Sichuan, Yang Hanxiu sold his family's land and bought a large amount of materials to aid the anti-Chiang kai-shek forces.
Yang Hanxiu said: "As long as the revolution needs, I can give everything I have!" ”
In September 1948, the secret agents of the military command gathered their men again and arrested Yang Hanxiu for the second time.
According to Zhao Zaimin's recollection: On that day, a group of spies surrounded my house, and two fierce and evil spies rushed into my yard.
The leading agent yelled at Yang Hanxiu: "Governor Liu asked you to speak!" ”
Yang Hanxiu was still very calm, and she said to the agent, "I'll pack up and go with you." ”
The secret agent stood in the courtyard and waited, while Yang Hanxiu gave Zhao Zaimin a look, meaning to come with me.
Yang Hanxiu said that she was going to the toilet, and she took her son to a place where the agent could not see, raised her hand from the rocky mound, took out a small cloth bag, and handed it to her son Zhao Zaimin.
The agent waited impatiently and forcibly took Yang Hanxiu away, while Zhao Zaimin, who was at home, opened the small cloth bag.
Among the cloth bags, there is a letter of introduction and a photo taken by Yang Hanxiu in Yan'an.
Zhao Zaimin was young at that time and could not understand the contents of the letter, but later learned that it was Comrade Wang Weizhou who wrote a letter of introduction when he introduced Yang Hanxiu to see Zhou Enlai.
(Wang Weizhou's letter of introduction to Zhou Enlai for Wu Ming (Yang Hanxiu))
After Yang Hanxiu was arrested, he was first held in a prison in Quxian County, and then taken by agents to the infamous slag cave in Chongqing.
In this criminal prison, where holy Communists were imprisoned, Yang Hanxiu was at the mercy of the enemy's interrogation, and she responded calmly and freely, without making any moves to betray the organization.
In The Zhazaidong, Yang Hanxiu organized her fellow prisoners to sing the revolutionary songs of Yan'an together; she personally took care of her weak comrades and helped her sick friends.
It was not until April 1949, when Yang Sen's wife intervened, that Yang Hanxiu was taken out of prison, and then sent to the hospital for "convalescence" and sent to be supervised.
Yang Sen has been paying attention to this matter, he went to the hospital on a special trip, in the name of "visiting patients", met Yang Hanxiu.
After Yang Hanxiu met the warlord's uncle, she still wanted to do the other party's ideological work, so she said: "Uncle, Commander-in-Chief Zhu is your old friend, he entrusted me to greet you... Commander-in-Chief Zhu said that you had fought against Yuan's protectors together and had fought together on British ships in Wanxian County. Whatever is done well, the people remember. He hopes that you must not fight the Wuhan government like in 2027, the troops were crushed, and eventually they were infamous. He still hopes to meet you like he did in Wanxian and work together to handle China's affairs well. Friends should not fight each other, turn the muzzle of the gun, and jointly fight the imperialists who bully and insult China! ”
Yang Sen was furious, still wanted to be loyal to Chiang Kai-shek, and also took the matter of changing his name and surname to make it difficult for Yang Hanxiu.
Regarding yang Hanxiu's murder, we must start from the "92" fire.
In 1949, the river in Chongqing rose by eleven meters, so that the poor people on both sides of the strait moved to a higher place.
By September 2, the people had built a large number of simple rooms with a large number of wooden strips and bamboo pieces, burying the fire hazard.
The point of the fire, located at No. 17 Ganjiang Street, was a two-story building, and several children accidentally caused a fire while playing games.
A catastrophe descended on Chongqing, and in more than ten hours, thirty-nine streets and alleys were burned, and thirty-three banks and money houses alone were burned.
More than 40,000 people were killed, more than 2,500 people were killed, and 250,000 US dollars were lost in pig bristles alone, not to mention dozens of warehouses that were burned down, and the loss of materials was countless.
The truth about this fire was not found out until 1959, neither the Communist Party nor the Kuomintang.
However, in 1949, no one knew the truth, and it coincided with the end of the Liberation War, so the Kuomintang blamed the Communist Party and killed many innocent people one after another, saying that they were "arsonists" of the Communist Party to plant bribes.
At that time, Yang Hanxiu believed that this was the Kuomintang planting stolen goods and framing, which was a conspiracy of warlords.
Coupled with the rumors that the fire alarm was not spraying water but gasoline, they aimed the spearhead at Yang Sen, believing that Yang Sen wanted to destroy Chongqing before the rout.
At that time, Yang Hanxiu lived in The Feilai Temple in Chongqing, and lived in Yang Chuansan's home (Yang Sen's third brother) was still working hard.
Yang Sen was very angry, and in the late night of September 17, he sent someone to secretly arrest Yang Hanxiu and conduct a surprise interrogation that night.
Yang Sen hoped that Yang Hanxiu would bear the charge of the fire, and Yang Hanxiu refuted Yang Sen in person.
In this case, the contradiction between the uncle and the niece cannot be reconciled.
Yang Hanxiu was forced into the co-pilot of the car by two agents, and the two agents in the back row took out a rope and strangled Yang Hanxiu's neck.
After the agents brutally killed Yang Hanxiu, they buried the body of the revolutionary martyr in the bunker of Jingangpo in Gele Mountain.
His son, Zhao Zaimin, was boarded at Qiujing Middle School in Chongqing at the time, and it was not until the weekend that he learned that his mother had been captured by secret agents.
That day, Zhao Zaimin always had an ominous premonition, and it seemed that he had no soul, and he left home to go to school, living alone in the dormitory.
It was not until the People's Liberation Army entered Chongqing that Zhao Zaimin learned that his mother had been buried and left him forever.
It was not until 1975 that the remains of the revolutionary martyr Yang Hanxiu were found, because the mountains and rivers washed away year after year, so that Yang Hanxiu's bones were not much left.
On November 25, 1980, the staff of the Chongqing government held a solemn burial ceremony for the revolutionary martyr Yang Hanxiu.
At the end of the article, it ends with Janssen's last time on the mainland:
When the Second Field Army of our People's Liberation Army entered western Hunan Province, Yang Sen served as the commander of the Kuomintang 20th Army, as well as the deputy commander of the Southwest Governor's Office and the commander-in-chief of the Chongqing Garrison Headquarters...
Yang Sen sent Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping a clear telegram, wanting to revolt against Chiang Kai-shek on the battlefield.
After Liu Bo received the telegram, he said to the staff: "Don't want these people, ignore him!" You do the work of the uprising, don't look for these people! ”
Our Party has always welcomed the uprising of the generals of the Nationalist army, so why would it reject Janssen? This person belongs to the typical rebellion, such as serving the Qing army and opposing the Qing army, joining the revolutionary army and then joining the Dian army, and he himself is a warlord of the Sichuan Army.
Janssen rarely stood firm, the territory was grabbed and lost, and the various camps ran around, so he got a nickname called "Rolling Dragon".
When Liu Bocheng was young, he led the Shunlu Uprising, and at that time he fought a fierce battle with the warlord Liu Xiang.
(When Liu Bocheng was young)
Liu Bocheng hoped to get the support of Yang Sen and let Yang Sen restrain Liu Xiang, who knew that Yang Sen superficially agreed, but in fact sat idly by. That battle led to huge losses for Liu Bocheng.
When Zhu De was young, he also went to Yang Sen's army to do united front work, which we mentioned earlier, and Yang Sen, a warlord, belongs to a reactionary who is dead-hearted.
Now that the general trend of the Kuomintang has gone, Yang Sen knows incomparably well that if there is no battlefield uprising, it will inevitably be doomed.
As the Platon Army troops gathered around, Yang Sen sent people to see Liu Bocheng, hoping to get the treatment of the uprising.
Liu Bocheng said: "Tell Yang Sen that how many guns and how many guns are surrendered is to disarm, and nothing else to talk about!" ”
For Yang Sen, he wanted to get the treatment of the uprising, and Liu Bocheng was only allowed to surrender, so Yang Sen left the mainland and fled to Taiwan.
