Tan Zheng, a great general. The Southern Expedition and the Northern War, for decades, were boldly loyal to the liberation cause of the Chinese people and established immortal merits.
Even in the rare years of ancient times, Tan Zheng still returned to Jinggangshan with illness and fulfilled the promise of his youth to his father and elder in Jiangxi: "We will definitely come back!" He climbed the Jinggang Mountain to look at it, his thoughts were endless, looking forward to the future of the motherland, and his heart was full of excitement.
But how did he get into a career as a horseman in the first place? If it weren't for the encouragement of this person, he might not have dared to take this step, and this person was his knotted wife Okra.
Tan Zheng was born in Nanzhu Village, Xiangxiang, and General Chen Geng was born in Liushupu, erdu, Xiangxiang. The two villages are seven or eight miles apart, and the two families of Tan Chen have intersected for generations and have a very close past. After Tan Chen's two families voluntarily married, Tan Zheng married Chen Geng's fourth sister Okra as his wife, tan Zheng and Okra Green Plum Bamboo Horse.
Tan Zheng finished his career after 3 years of studying at Dongshan Elementary School, waiting to find a way out to make a living. He was standing at the crossroads, choosing the path he should take, and he consulted with Okra to take the path of Chen Geng's brother and apply for the Whampoa Military Academy.
The two young men wrote a letter to Chen Geng and asked about the time and place of several enrollments in Huangpu. Chen Geng wrote back that he had joined the Northern Expedition.
Okra said happily to her husband: "Brother Ming (Tan Zheng's name at that time was Tan Shiming, although they were already married, but Okra always regarded Shiming as a brother, or called affectionately like this), quickly write back to Brother Geng and tell you about the fact that you want to be a Northern Expeditionary Army." ”
"Then if I leave, how will you survive in the future?" Tan Zheng knew that after he ran away, he would bring bad consequences to okra, and said worriedly.
Okra has long seen through the world's famous heart disease, in fact, he is also uneasy about his escape.
However, Okra repeatedly thought: "If you pull the hind legs of the world name at this time, how can the world name break through the family nest of the feudal system?" How can his desire to storm the new world be realized? ”
She made up her mind and said to her husband: "Brother Ming, I will understand your heart, you are determined to go!" Leaving this feudal home, taking a risk, and breaking into the winds and waves of society is an exercise for you, the 'nerd'. Forge into steel, you will become a man with a good job! ”
Okra caressed Shi Ming's face and said, "Speaking from the heart, I don't want you to be separated from me, thinking about the future, you still have to run away and go to the world, it is better than hiding in this 'home'." Don't watch you stay silent all day, I know what you're thinking. It is enough to sacrifice me, don't let us both die in this 'home'. ”
Tan Zheng's words could not help but surprise Tan Zheng: She is really a great woman! Her personality is so cheerful and open-minded, her belly is bigger than the sea.
Soon, Chen Geng sent two members of the National Revolutionary Army to pick up his brother-in-law Tan Zheng to join the army.
Tan Zheng left his hometown. His father-in-law and mother-in-law also came to see him off, persuading his son-in-law to take care of himself, and also brought a letter to Chen Geng and instructed Chen Geng to take care of Tan Zhengduo.
On the day that Tan Zheng left, Okra's brother, sister-in-law, brother, sister, and Tan Zheng's young friends also gathered together to send off. Okra goes with the world's name...
Okra handed Tan Zheng a small bag wrapped in a change of clothes and carried it on his shoulder. She turned her head to wipe away the tears of pity, stood in the middle of the crowd of farewells, and watched Tan Zheng go into the flames of the struggle until she disappeared from sight.
However, where Tan Zheng wanted to get, the parting with Okra's wife turned out to be Yong Ti.
Tan Zheng joined the army for less than 3 months, and there was a "Ma Ri Incident" in Changsha, Hunan Province, Tan Zheng's parents were so frightened that they began to complain about Okra: "If Shiming had not married this daughter-in-law, he would not have gone to the army." ”
When Okra was in Wuhan when Wang Jingwei's counter-revolutionary activities were rampant, she did not see her husband Tan Zheng's letters, returned to her mother's house to ask her parents, and Chen Geng also had no news and was worried about their safety.
If my husband has a long time, how can my daughter-in-law, who supports her husband's exodus from the army, withstand such indignant reproach and complaints?
However, she thought left and right, thinking that her husband Tan Zheng was probably fighting with the enemy with Chen Geng's eldest brother, and he was no longer a scholar, but a brave warrior, beating the enemy to the ground and defeating him... She smiled, with tears in her eyes.
These days passed day after day. One month has passed, two months have passed, three months, five months have passed!
However, Okra finally fell ill, and this illness did not stand up again.
When she was about to take her last breath, she still covered her husband Tan Zheng's letters on her chest with both hands, probably she was still thinking that her husband Tan Zheng had seen it accurately, was the best person in the world, and was a hero who made unremitting efforts for the liberation of the Chinese nation.
She closed her eyes, but there were still tears in the corners of her eyes, and she passed away peacefully with a smile!
Later, when his family confided in him about his wife Okra's deathbed, Tan Zheng cried: She is really a great person! If it wasn't for her, I might have been a "nerd" for the rest of my life.
