introduction
"Eilean Says" wrote that "to love the lotus out of the mud without staining", the beauty and purity of the lotus flower were written out, and even for many years afterwards, people fell in love with the lotus out of the mud without staining, in fact, there are still many people in this world who have the quality of the lotus, but as long as it is a person, there will be shortcomings, for example, there is a general in the history of the mainland.
People often say that "a drunk to solve a thousand sorrows", in fact, wine this thing has been very popular since ancient times. At first, many literati and inkers liked to write wine in their own articles, and the main role was to relieve worries. For example, Li Taibai of the Tang Dynasty was very fond of drinking water, and even wrote down the ancient sentences that have been sung to this day.
However, with the continuous development of the times, wine is not only a romantic thing written by the literati and inkers, he gradually went to the folk and became the food on the dinner table.
However, in the real world, some people are so drunk that they can even eat a day without eating, but they must drink, and at that time, there was such a person in the Red Army, his name was Xu Shiyou.
Founding General Xu Shiyou
Xu Shiyou was born in Hubei Province in 1905. Although his family was very poor, he worked very hard and was very sensible, often helping his parents when he was very young, and often failing to eat during the busy seasons of farming. When he was 8 years old, a boxer discovered his talent, so he kept advising him to learn martial arts, perhaps this was the opportunity, and from then on, he went to the Songshan Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts.
During his martial arts studies, even in the cold winter months, he would get up early every day to practice martial arts, so both Master and Uncle Shi often praised him. By chance, because the Red Army team passed by their home, he joined the Red Army and became a Red Army soldier.
As a result, he also participated in many battles, because of his outstanding performance, his official position became larger and larger, and finally he became the regimental commander. In 1932, Xu Shiyou's troops moved to Sichuan and Shaanxi, and the revolution began again.
A lifelong battle of horses and bloody battles
In 1933, because of his many meritorious deeds, he was recognized by the central government, and he became the deputy commander of the Red Ninth Army and the commander of the Twenty-fifth Division. This year, under the leadership of Xu Xiangqian, he participated in the founding of the Eyu-Anhui Soviet District and the Long March. He also participated in the death squad seven times, and his spirit of desperation was simply great.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he also played a great role, and also went to the Taihang Mountains with Mr. Zhu. In 1938, because the situation in the War of Resistance Against Japan became more intense, he went to the Anti-Japanese Base Area in Southern Hebei and participated in the creation of the Anti-Japanese Base Area in Southern Hebei.
After retirement, he had no money to drink alcohol
In 1954, he served as the second deputy commander of the East China Military Region, and because the latter two were too old to continue fighting, they asked to go back to their hometown to recuperate, and the organization quickly agreed to him in view of his situation.
After retirement, his favorite drink was drinking, often at home with friends. However, he soon found that his pension could not support it, but it was strange that the admiral's pension was so small?
In fact, it is because he likes to drink Moutai wine and only use Moutai wine to entertain guests. The price of Moutai was very cheap, but because the economy continued to develop, the price of Moutai wine also continued to rise. And at this time, because he was retired, the subsidy was reduced to half of what he used to be, and the expenses of the whole family also depended on his salary, so the money for drinking was not enough.
Real and fake wine banquet for guests
Whenever he entertained guests, he took out another "Moutai wine", which was one-third the price of authentic wine, but it was still good Moutai wine when entertaining important guests.
In fact, Xu Shiyou himself often drank special "Moutai wine", which was produced in the Xicun Farm of the Nanjing Military Region. In contrast, although the taste was a little worse, the quality was not bad at all, and at that time this wine was still very popular in the revolutionary military region, so he usually bought this wine.
Moreover, Xu Shiyou was famous for his love of drinking in the military region. After his retirement, many military district leaders invited him to drink, and at the beginning he was more concerned about his body and took the initiative to persuade him to drink. But later, because he couldn't resist the temptation, he slowly began to fight with the leaders.
It's just that he regrets it after every fight. Because drinking too much alcohol does have a lot of bad places for the liver, so he did contract liver disease in his old age, once it was serious, and he fainted from drinking, and as a result, he checked in the hospital to know that it was already cirrhosis.
At that time, during the operation, the doctor could not wake him up after anesthesia, and later woke up because the doctor gave him some wine, and even his liver disease pain disappeared under the influence of a few drops of wine. For Xu Shiyou, wine is the best analgesic in the world.
epilogue
Xu Shiyou really lacks nothing in this life, but he only loves wine, but in other aspects, he is very frugal, and he has not even made a cake once.
