This surprised the two Kuomintang soldiers, who, in their opinion, fang Zhimin's status was very "noble", he was not only the founder of the revolutionary base areas in northeastern Jiangxi and Fujian,Zhejiang, and gansu, but also the chairman of the Soviet government in northeastern Gansu and Fujian-Zhejiang-Gansu provinces.
They took a wooden-handled grenade and threatened Fang Zhimin to hand over the money or they would blow him up. In fact, Fang Zhimin's status is "noble", for them, he is a "big official" of the Communist Party, and they naturally do not have the courage to blow him up. And On Fang Zhimin's body, there is indeed not a single copper plate.
The fact that the chairman of a Soviet government could not find a single copper plate on his body seemed inconceivable to many. But if it is placed on Fang Zhimin, it is a matter of course.
The poor Chairman of the Soviets colded the rich man's teeth for three days
Fang Zhimin is also a model from being poor to growing up, born in 1899 in a small village in Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province, and his family has been farming for generations. At that time, the agrarian revolution had not yet begun, the era of awakening had not recovered, the landlords were rampant, and none of the peasants had a good life.
The village in which he grew up, with no more than 80 families, has been a farmer for generations, renting land with landlords to cultivate, and all 60% of the income he earns must be given to landlords. Relying on only the remaining 40%, it is impossible to provide a family with a time to survive. As soon as the day comes to pay the rent, many people will face the tragic situation of committing suicide by throwing themselves into a well and selling their wives and children. Of the 80 households, 70 could not eat, and the only one or two who were really rich were the landlords.
The living conditions of Fang Zhimin's family are very limited, hovering between the life and death lines of survival every day. He was a boy in the family, and he was intelligent from an early age, and his parents borrowed money and loans to provide him with private schools. Whenever it came time to pay the tuition, the parents were always embarrassed and sad. By the time he reached adulthood, his parents' loans for Zhimin's tuition fees alone were already nearly 700 yuan.
It was in such a dark and miserable environment that Fang Zhimin, who was determined to dedicate his life to the revolutionary struggle, was created.
He joined the Communist Party of China at the age of twenty-five, single-handedly founded a Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and four years later led the Yiheng Uprising and created the revolutionary base area in northeastern Jiangxi. This base area includes fifty counties and a population of more than one million.
In Fang Zhimin's "base areas, the workers and peasants are able to be self-sufficient and no longer worry about their livelihood." It is said that you can eat a meal of meat every two days, which is an incredible existence in the old China that was plagued by famine and poverty at that time.
Moreover, in the base area, education is free of charge, and there are leisure places in spare time, and even swimming and sports can be carried out. Fang Zhimin even created his own border trade policy, had the concept of opening up to the outside world early, and began to create a shareholding system in the Soviet Union and issue shares, far ahead of the times.
Mao Weiren also called it a "Fang Zhimin-style" base area. He began to explore the future of the workers' and peasants' class, the future of the Red Army, and the future of New China on this base area, and formed his own set of theories for building base areas, and began to build base areas for the future.
If you wish to live for the revolution, you are willing to die for the revolution
The base area is developing better and better, but Fang Zhimin himself is just like his article "Qing Poverty", a clean body, two sleeves of fresh wind. No matter what kind of cold winter moon, he only had a torn cotton jacket that was patched up and repaired, and he couldn't block the wind and snow, nor could he stop the food.
The character of saving seems to be carved into his blood, and he is obviously the chairman, but he lives like the ordinary people in the base area, without causing any burden to the people. He still had years of tuberculosis, but he still insisted on working in the cold night. The people in the gang room could not see it anymore, and secretly cooked him a bowl of white rice porridge, but he ordered someone to take the white porridge away and eat rice bran and eat wild vegetables with the people.
However, such a beloved revolutionary warrior was targeted by the Kuomintang and became the ghost of the Nationalist army under the gun.
At that time, in 1934, Fang Zhimin led the Red Tenth Army he founded and began to go north to resist the Japanese. Chiang Kai-shek's policy of "taking the outside world before settling in the country" was still harming the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and the Kuomintang army surrounded Fang Zhimin with heavy troops. Fang Zhimin had escaped from danger at that time, but in order to save the troops who escaped later, Fang Zhimin rushed back into danger and was eventually arrested.
There are three "peasant kings" recognized by everyone, Mao Wei and Peng Pan are two of them, and the third is Fang Zhimin. The Kuomintang naturally knew Fang Zhimin's value as the chairman of the Soviet Union, and did not dare to kill him at will, and even lured him with heavy profits, intending to persuade Fang Zhimin to surrender.
After the escape from prison did not work, Fang Zhimin was ready to dedicate himself to the revolution. Before that, he wanted to leave as much as he could for future generations. So he began to use his pen as a knife in prison to write what he thought. It was during this time that he wrote articles such as "Lovely China", all of which added up to 130,000 words.
He was shackled in prison at the time, and diseases such as tuberculosis and hemorrhoids tormented his body, making him bleed and suppurate, sit still, and from time to time there were prison guards to search, but it was in such a difficult environment that he insisted on writing more than a thousand words a day, and a total of 130,000 words were delivered to the Communist Party outside the prison.
When Ye Jianying saw these manuscripts of his, the eight-foot boy instantly shed tears, and then wrote a poem: "Wenshan went to the south to the moon, and then took care of Qin Huai's leaf maple." In the poem, Fang Zhimin is directly compared to the composition OfteAnxiang Wengong, which shows the shock brought to Ye Jianying by Fang Zhimin's "leaving Danqing to take care of Khanqing".
Fang Zhimin was arrested on January 29, 1934, and by August 6, he was still sternly rejecting the Kuomintang's persuasion to surrender. The Kuomintang already knew that this was a hard bone that they could never gnaw down, and they had a murderous heart. The Kuomintang first dragged him to Shangrao and Nanchang to show the public, but Fang Zhimin did not have any fear, but instead raised his head and chest, revealing a proud look of dedication to the Soviets and the revolution.
Shocked and frightened, the Nationalist army dragged Fang Zhimin to the lower sand nest and secretly killed him. At that time, Fang Zhimin was only thirty-six years old, in his prime.
3. The children live in peace, and the bones are seen again
Fang Zhimin's legacy after his death is only his nearly 400,000-word manuscript, as well as several sets of old sweat pants and stockings. Among them, those manuscripts that Fang Zhimin painstakingly considered, such as the 15,000-word "History of the Founding of the Soviets in Northeast Jiangxi", have left practical and considerable materials for the later development of the base areas and the construction of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.
In addition, Fang Zhimin also left four sons and a daughter, namely Fang Song, Fang Bai, Fang Zhu, Fang Lan, and daughter Fang Mei.
Fang Song was once captured by the Kuomintang and became a strong man. But his father died at the hands of the Kuomintang, and how could he serve the Kuomintang? So the villagers raised the strength of the village and rescued Fang Song. It's just that Fang Song suffered from illness and survived until he was 27 years old, and he died.
Both Fang Bai and Fang Zhu were taken to Yan'an by their mother Miao Min and sent to the Yan'an Nursery, where they spent their childhood peacefully and changed their names to Fang Ying and Fang Ming. After growing up, he entered the Hongdu Machinery Factory and the Jiangxi Tractor Factory respectively, and worked diligently for decades.
Fang Lan was separated from his parents when the Kuomintang surrounded and suppressed the base area in northeast Jiangxi, and was later found and sent back to Miao Min, but his father had passed away forever. Later, Fang Lan also entered politics, and even prepared to build a government office in Nanchang in Beijing, which can also be regarded as a compliance with his father.
It is worth mentioning Fang Mei, who has rarely seen her father since she was born, and her understanding of her father is from the mouth of the villagers or from books. She has had a wish since she was a child, hoping to completely piece together the character image of her father Fang Zhimin, so that more people can see what kind of person her father is.
So she used her spare time to visit the people around her father, and finally wrote books such as "Fang Zhimin's Life" and "The Complete Biography of Fang Zhimin", in black and white, which not only let more people know her father, but also became a precious material for future generations to look up to Fang Zhimin.
Fang Zhimin died in 1935, when no remains were found. After 20 years, the country settled down and decided to find the loyal bones of the martyrs and bury them well. Because Fang Zhimin died in shackles, the bones are easy to identify. At that time, they dug up bones in the area of Xiashawo, but most of them were not Fang Zhimin. After searching for two years, the shackles were finally found in a corpse.
Only at that time, more than seventy bones were found, most of them in pieces and pieces. After many forensic identifications, nine pieces of Fang Zhimin's skeleton were found and buried.
Although this funeral was 22 years late, fortunately, no one has ever forgotten the soldiers who have dedicated and sacrificed for the country, and Fang Zhimin can really rest in peace at this time. He came to the human world for a walk, threw his head and spilled his blood, and the great rivers and mountains finally did as he wished, and that was enough!
