On January 28, 1931, a senior Kuomintang general was executed, but on the eve of the execution, he actually shouted: Runzhi, save me.
On the day of the execution, the crowd of onlookers were three floors inside and three layers outside, and everyone clenched their fists and looked at this heinous "Zhang Butcher", each of them waving their fists and demanding that he be executed.
But at the moment of death, his words make people wonder what his identity is? Why did you meet Chairman Mao? And also shouted chairman Mao to save him? Did Chairman Mao save him in the end?
This senior general of the Nationalist army was named Zhang Huizhen, born in Changsha, Hunan in 1885, and Chairman Mao was also a fellow countryman, and Zhang Huizhan was also full of patriotic ambitions when he was young, so he chose to go to the military academy to study, and in 1908, he chose to go to the Japanese military academy to study.
In 1912, when the Republic of China was established, he was appointed as a staff officer of the Hunan Governor's Office, and he also went to Germany to study, Zhang Huizhan admired Sun Yat-sen very much when he was young, vowed to follow in the footsteps of Sun Yat-sen, and he has always worked in this direction.
Zhang Huizhan had done something that everyone praised before, that is, he had arrested "Liu Mazi", a person in the local area, who could be said to be a person who committed heinous crimes and did all kinds of bad things.
He has the support of someone, arbitrarily occupies other people's real estate in the local area, and also robs the women of the good family, and even forces him to sell himself, such a person, everyone in the local area hates him with itchy teeth, but there is no way to deal with him, only because he has power behind him.
After Zhang Huizhan learned of Liu Mazi as a person, he was very angry, he did not allow such a person to exist, and also threatened the safety of the lives of this ordinary person, so after taking office, he began to think of ways to trip up this Liu Mazi.
Liu Mazi could not be blatantly arrested, so Zhang Huizhan chose to arrest Liu Mazi at night, when the night was dark and the wind was high, and after the arrest, he was executed unconsciously, and after the reaction of the forces behind him, he had already been executed, and it was too late to find him.
Because of this incident, Zhang Huizhan has received the support of many people.
His acquaintance with Chairman Mao also begins with the campaign to secretly expel Zhang Jingyao in 1918, when Zhang Jingyao was the governor and governor of Hunan, when Chairman Mao launched the secret expulsion of Zhang Jingyao, and many patriots participated, including Zhang Huizhen.
In this activity, Zhang Huizhan also showed a very positive performance, and it is precisely because of this that he and Chairman Mao met each other and formed a certain friendship.
But what happened next made him go astray and embarked on a road of no return, and it was precisely because of this that he became a "Zhang Butcher" shouted and beaten by everyone.
After the outbreak of the Northern Expedition, Chiang Kai-shek began to come to power, in order to win over the regime, Chiang Kai-shek began to attract all kinds of talents, of which Zhang Huizhan entered Chiang Kai-shek's sight, under the persuasion of Chiang Kai-shek, Zhang Huizhan began to waver, and later joined them.
After a long time, Zhang Huizhan completely forgot his original revolutionary ideals, but instead became a selfish, greedy person, in order to satisfy his greedy desires, he did a lot of things to kill revolutionaries and patriots.
In the Kuomintang, his status became higher and higher, and later he became brutal, whether there was evidence or not, as long as he felt that this person was a communist, he would use brutal methods to slaughter these patriots, which can be said to be very cruel.
In addition, Zhang Huizhan also wantonly plundered money, and he asked his subordinates, in the name of collecting protection fees, to ask for money from major chambers of commerce in Jiangxi, verbally talking about borrowing money, but everyone knows that this money is borrowed and cannot be returned.
In addition to collecting protection fees, Zhang Huizhan's atrocities in the local area also caused the anger of the people, but Zhang Huizhan was rich and powerful, and ordinary people simply could not do anything with him.
In addition, Zhang Huizhan also launched the first encirclement and suppression of the Red Army, and although Zhang Huizhan's actions made the Red Army very angry, he became Chiang Kai-shek's right-hand man in the Kuomintang.
In 1930, when Zhang Huizhan learned that the Red Army contingent was about to arrive at the base area of the Central Soviet Region, he found that the Central Red Army had already gone to the building, there was no one here, and they had already withdrawn early.
However, Zhang Huizhan did not give up the pursuit of the Red Army at all, he led people to chase the Red Army team in the back, and Zhang Huizhan at that time, in order to make meritorious achievements, directly released harsh words to the soldiers: But anyone who catches Zhu Mao alive can get a bounty of ten thousand oceans.
Later, when Zhang Huizhan and his team chased to Longgang, Ji'an, Jiangxi, Zhang Huizhan entered the trap set by the Red Army, when there was a heavy fog on the mountain, and the Kuomintang troops had come to such a place, so they could not distinguish the direction for a while.
They couldn't see the direction of the front at all, at this time they could only determine the position of the Red Army through the sound of gunfire, but in fact, this was the ambush circle of the Red Army, although they entered the ambush circle, but fortunately, Zhang Huizhan was also a person who had experienced war, so he reacted quickly.
But even so, in the end they were still taken by the Red Army, and when Zhang Huizhan was found, he hid in a dirt pit and covered his body with thatch, he wanted to use this way to avoid the pursuit, but was finally caught.
When he learned that Zhang Huizhan had been arrested, Chiang Kai-shek's side was also very anxious, and finally Chiang Kai-shek promised to exchange 200,000 oceans, 20 medical supplies, and a large number of weapons to find the Red Army in exchange for Zhang Huizhan.
Although Chairman Mao agreed, Zhang Huizhan still needed to be tried by the people, and the final result could only be decided by the masses; Zhang Huizhan had committed many evil deeds in Jiangxi, and everyone was unwilling to let him go, and in the end Zhang Huizhan was executed.
At the last moment of the execution, he shouted: Runzhi, save me, he remembered his friendship with Chairman Mao, but it was useless at this time.
In the end, the masses of the people were still angry and executed Zhang Huizhan.
