In 1949, after receiving a notice, Liu Huping, director of the Xinjiang Public Security Department, immediately led his men and horses to organize an arrest operation, and under the tianluo net carefully arranged by Liu Huping and other public security personnel, the suspect Zhang Sixin and the main criminal Li Yingqi were quickly arrested. After the two were arrested, the process of the victim's tragic murder was revealed little by little...
This victim is none other than the younger brother of our great leader, Mao Zemin. After many years of victimization, Liu Hupingcai, a comrade-in-arms who was also imprisoned by Sheng Shicai, finally found the truth of his sacrifice for him. Subsequently, under the designation of zhang sixin, the former prison director, and Li Yingqi, the main criminal, the remains of Mao Zemin and three other martyrs were found, and the bare coffins were placed in the coffins and moved to the revolutionary martyrs' cemetery on the northern outskirts of Urumqi for reburial.
If Mao Zedong is called the leader of the front line, then Mao Zemin is the reserve force that sticks to the rear and provides a steady stream of material support for the front. Therefore, Mao Zemin was jokingly called the "money bag".
No matter how difficult the situation, he could come up with ways to "transform" the troops and replenish the Red Army with an endless supply. He dedicated all his belongings, even his life, to the revolution. With his firm faith and outstanding financial wisdom, he has permanently left his name in the history of modern red finance and the history of Chinese currency. Mao Zemin – His name should be engraved in our hearts, and his revolutionary heroic deeds should not be forgotten.
Mao Zemin, a native of Shaoshan, Xiangtan, Hunan, in 1896, was the second oldest in the Mao family and was Mao Zedong's first younger brother. Mao Zedong also had a younger brother named Mao Zeqin, who was very similar to Mao Zedong and had far-reaching ambitions, and was unwilling to stay at home and honestly cultivate the land, face the loess soil and turn his back to the sky, and be a farmer for a lifetime. But their father, Mao Shunsheng, was an out-and-out conservative farmer who had always strongly opposed his children's study abroad.
Unlike his two brothers, Mao Zemin has a kind, docile and industrious personality. In order to maintain the family's livelihood and provide for his brother and brother to study, and to comfort his father's heart, Mao Zemin dropped out of school early to follow his father. He not only helped his father to farm the land, but also helped his father to take care of the business, and from time to time he had to endure his father's scolding and lessons. He also often carried one or two hundred catties of rice over the mountains, cutting rice, harvesting rice grain, morning glory and feeding cattle, raising fish, cutting firewood, and so on. When his elder brother Mao Zedong was addicted to reading and traveling in the sea of books, and when his younger brother Mao Zeqin was playing and playing with children of the same age, Mao Zemin slowly took on the heavy responsibility of the family and became the only strong laborer in the family. This also provided sufficient money for Mao Zedong and Mao Zeqin's later study in Changsha.
Because of his long-term farm work in the fields, Mao Zemin has always been dressed as a simple peasant. Even once when I went to visit two brothers in Changsha, because he was sallow, didn't talk much, and was covered in dust, he was always frolicked by classmates who didn't know the situation, and shouted to Mao Zedong, "Runzhi, your parents are here." He didn't mind, just as a joke, a laugh. Every time he came, he always carried a heavy grain of rice, with enough tuition and miscellaneous expenses, and passed through the Xiangjiang River waterway for a long time. When he arrived at the Changsha Academy, Mao Zedong put down his things and left, never mentioning the difficulties of the family to them.
Once, the harvest at home was not good, and in order to make up for the tuition and miscellaneous expenses, Mao Zemin ran to several places and arrived a few days late. Mao Zedong did not know the situation and complained to him, "Runlian, how did you get it, it was so late to arrive." In the face of the eldest brother's complaints, Mao Zemin did not say a word, bowed his head and silently helped Mao Zedong clean up the house. It wasn't until I was about to go back to my hometown and walk to the door of the academy's dormitory that I explained to Mao Zedong, "Brother, the harvest has not been good recently, I have walked hundreds of miles and run a lot of places to make up enough money, so I came late." After saying that, he left. Later, whenever Mao Zedong recalled this, he always bowed his head and sighed, regretting that he should not have been.
Mao Zemin was a great contributor to making the Mao family rich. In 1913, Mao Zemin married Wang Shulan, the daughter of the Wang family in the same village. After marriage, Mao Shunsheng confidently handed over the family's land affairs to Mao Zemin and his wife, and he himself went out of the house to do business in other places.
Because Mao Zemin and his wife worked diligently at home, Mao Zemin maintained a friendly, non-deceitful, and non-deductive attitude toward the workers, and when the peasants were busy, the workers actively went to the fields to help. This allowed Mao Shunsheng to have no worries, develop small assets in other places, issue "Mao Yi Shuntang" stocks, and mobilize the masses to invest in appreciation.
TheRefore, the Mao family rushed from Shaoshan to the outside world, and if there is no accident, it will become a local "upstart". However, at the time when the Mao family was in turmoil, a series of natural disasters and man-made disasters caught the Mao family off guard. The fire in 1916, the deserter robbery in 1917, the death of Mao's mother in 1919 to the death of Mao Shun's illness in 1920...
The loss of money shattered the Mao family's dream of getting rich, and the death of his parents also made Mao Zedong, who had been abroad, and Mao Zeqin, who was studying, grief-stricken. However, Mao Zemin, who personally experienced everything at home, did not have time to suffer, he silently swallowed his grief, handled the aftermath, and then prepared financial support for his younger brother's studies. Compared with Mao Zedong and Mao Zeqin, Mao Zemin did his best for the Mao family, he took everything for the eldest brother and younger brother, silently paid, but never said.
Although Mao Zemin has been working as a land worker for more than ten years, his outstanding financial talent has not been lost. As a "worthy brother of Mao Zedong", he was destined to be extraordinary. A year after the death of his parents, in 1921, Mao Zedong, who was working for the revolution outside, suddenly returned to his hometown and persuaded Mao Zemin to join the revolutionary ranks and fight for the liberation of the people.
Mao Zemin did not immediately agree, he sat on the bench for a long time in silence, that is the state of his thinking. He knew what Mao Zedong called "giving up a small family for everyone", but the Mao family property was painstakingly accumulated by people for several lifetimes, and the couple had also worked hard for half a lifetime, so they had to give up the fruits of this effort and never set foot on this familiar land again?
Brotherly, Mao Zedong was also aware of Mao Zemin's concerns, and he went to the chair on the other side of the table and said face to face with Mao Zemin: "Only by abandoning the land and houses can we truly fight without concern." The houses and fields could be handed over to others, and the cost of renting the land could also be used as a fund for the revolution to establish a large rear for the brothers. This undoubtedly reassured Mao Zemin and proposed a solution to prevent the fields from becoming barren.
Subsequently, Mao Zedong took his younger brother Mao Zeqin and sister Mao Zejian to Changsha first, and Mao Zemin and his wife stayed behind to deal with the ancestral business. Subsequently, separated from the heavy agricultural work and backward rural life, Mao Zemin embarked on the revolutionary road with a firm and confused mood and began the extraordinary revolutionary life that belonged to him.
After Mao Zemin arrived in Changsha, as a newcomer, he did not directly hold an important position by virtue of his brother's status. He only did logistical and financial work in a teacher's attached primary school, and during this period, his financial talent was highlighted, his management ability was constantly improved, and his revolutionary ideas gradually matured.
After a year of experience, in 1922, he was appointed as the general manager of the Anyuan Workers' Consumption Cooperative. During his time, he implemented wide-ranging reforms that doubled the profits of cooperatives, increased incomes and accelerated development. Moreover, he usually went down to the grass-roots level, mingled with the workers, understood the life of the grass-roots level, and actively propagated revolutionary ideas. Later, Mao Zemin established the first joint-stock economic entity of our party and became a "great steward of the Central Red Army" who lived up to the expectations of the people.
In 1925, Mao Zemin, alias Yang Jie, went to Shanghai to serve as the manager of the distribution department of the Central Publishing House, performing tasks. Mao Zemin has never been in contact with restoring the supply of revolutionary publications, this task, this industry, but he has not given up easily. He worked hard to explore the rules, meet like-minded friends in the industry, and find a way out for the publishing house.
On his mission, he wore a suit and exuded the old-fashioned examples of merchants, shuttling through Shanghai's Shili Yangchang, walking between various merchants and bookstores. Who would have thought that this seemingly sophisticated "Boss Yang" was once a migrant worker wielding a hoe in the field, and a field boy who was once recognized as a "porter".
Even until the end, after the task is completed, people will greet him warmly when they see him, saying: "Hello Boss Yang!" ”。 Later, through his unremitting efforts, by the end of 1926, the Shanghai Publishing House had escaped the situation of loss, and even made a profit of more than 15,000 yuan. This created an economic reserve for the spread of revolutionary ideas in the later period.
In the past few years, Mao Zemin has shuttled through the foreign fields of intrigue and quarrels, dealing with businessmen, without the simplicity of the past and a little more sleek, but he has not forgotten the revolution and the original intention. In 1927, Wang Jingwei launched the "July 15" counter-revolutionary coup in Wuhan, which led to crisis throughout Shanghai and full of agents hunting down communists. At this dangerous moment, in order to resume the party's publishing and distribution work, Mao Zemin once again traveled on a mission. He used his accumulated contacts to deal with a variety of characters, do dredging, and complete tasks well in the intertwined Shanghai. Later, in the summer of 1929, dozens of workers and comrades of the printing house were arrested as communists. In order to rescue comrades, Mao Zemin only spent eight hundred yuan, using the jianghu routine of "everyone in the world is a brother" to buy a patrol house and resolve the crisis.
After years of trial and error in the trading grounds, Mao Zemin has become a well-known "revolutionary fund library". In 1931, the Chinese Soviet Republic was born. The leaders unanimously agreed that Mao Zemin would be the president of the National Bank. I thought that Mao Zemin would take office immediately, but there was a small episode in the middle.
It turned out that after learning the news, on the same night, he met with Mao Zedong and said to Mao Zedong, "Big brother, I came to the Soviet area this time because I wanted to go to the battlefield to fight and kill the enemy like you and Runju (Mao Zeqin), and I did not want to engage in economic work in the rear. ”
After Mao Zedong patiently persuaded, Mao Zemin said, "No experience, no capital, no talent", and there was no prevarication. Mao Zedong suddenly laughed and said, "Don't be in a hurry." In the war years, how could there be no war? You can also be a bank president with a gun! Besides, you have not been the manager of the distribution department of the Party Central Committee Publishing House, and when you were a child, you also worked as a food administrator. Most importantly, you have a beautiful abacus and economic work, and everyone unanimously wants you to be the president of the bank. Seeing that Mao Zemin was thoughtful, he added another sentence: "Don't let everyone down." Later, Mao Zemin went back to think about it, and immediately stood up and went to report to the British vice chairman. On February 1, 1932, Mao Zemin wore a military uniform, belt, and leggings and became president of the State Bank of the Chinese Soviet.
In order to solve the problem of Mao Zemin's "three noes," the party organization worked hard to mobilize the masses and concentrate on solving the problems of money and personnel. As for the issue of experience, Mao Zemin went to the grass-roots level to learn from the experienced masses and even from the enemy. In order to issue a unified banknote, Mao Zemin drilled into the deep mountains and old forests, studied papermaking with paper workers, squatted in the printing plant for several days and nights, and spelled copper plates with the workers of the old printing plant. In order to prevent the enemy from printing counterfeit money, Mao Zemin pioneered the addition of a small amount of fine wool to the pulp, so that the paper money had a burnt smell of wool as soon as it was burned.
Finally, in 1932 the National Bank printed the first banknotes. Later, the currency was issued and circulated in Zunyi. It was also stipulated that the people could sell their goods in exchange for paper money, and then use paper money to buy the affordable salt in the hands of the Red Army. In this way, a cycle of money circulation is formed. This has left a strong mark in China's financial history and even in the world's financial history, dazzling and dazzling. Later, the U.S. commodity futures anchored the dollar with reference to his object anchored Soviet dollar. Even Wall Street's pegging of dollars and oil is a full 40 years later than Mao's. This also established a complete financial system, laying the foundation for the development of New China's financial undertakings, and Mao Zemin is undoubtedly the first person in China's financial undertakings. "The economic, financial, and financial unification of the Soviet union is Mao Zemin's first contribution," Xiang Ying, who was vice chairman of the Chinese government at the time, could not help but marvel.
Mao Zemin, the well-deserved "big butler" of the Central Soviet Region and a red financier, also played an important role in the Long March. Later, the State Bank was incorporated into the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. Mao Zemin really took up his own steel gun, and in the face of the danger of being pursued and killed by the Kuomintang, he accompanied the Red Army to climb over the snowy mountains and through the meadows and fight on the front line. Everywhere he went, he actively mobilized the masses, raised funds along the road, and shouldered all the belongings of the Red Army on his shoulders.
People praised that it was Mao Zemin's shoulder that provoked the party's "flat bank." He always said, "Cadres must take the lead, they must know how to endure hardships, we are managing money for the people, we are managing money for the Red Army, we must use every penny on the tip of the knife, we can't spend a penny indiscriminately!" In his view, economic work is related to every revolutionary fighter, whether he can eat, whether he can have bullets to save his life, and we must not be sloppy and sloppy. At the same time, in the hearts of the people and fighters, the National Bank and Mao Zemin are symbols of credibility.
Due to the toil during the Long March and years of desperate work, Mao Zemin's body was worse every day. By 1937, Mao Zemin's stomach disease was getting worse and worse, and his body was extremely weak. Later, after deliberation and decision of the central authorities, Mao Zemin was allowed to go to the Soviet Union for recuperation and treatment. However, things didn't go so well. On Mao Zemin's way from Xinjiang to the Soviet Union, due to the sudden outbreak of severe plague on the Sino-Soviet border, the road was temporarily cut off, and Mao Zemin was unable to travel to the Soviet Union and was forced to stay in Urumqi. At this time, the central government happened to be negotiating with sheng shicai, a warlord who controlled Xinjiang, to do construction work. Knowing that Mao Zemin was temporarily staying in Xinjiang, he temporarily approved Mao Zemin to serve as the director of the Xinjiang Department of Finance to seek happiness and earn income for the people of Xinjiang.
However, things did not go on as expected. On August 29, 1942, Chiang Kai-shek sent Soong Mei Ling to Dubai to meet and bribe Sheng Shicai. Subsequently, Sheng Shicai returned to Xinjiang and immediately carried out the task of "purging the Communist Party." Sheng Shicai locked up the middle and low-level CCP cadres, their families and children in batches in small dark houses. As for Mao Zemin and other senior CCP cadres, he did not hesitate to use cruel punishment to force them to quit the party and admit what the Kuomintang called "conspiracy and riot."
However, Mao Zemin and other revolutionary fighters did not succumb to this. Later, Sheng Shicai was helpless to their "hard bones" and instructed his subordinate Li Yingqi to execute the punishment. Li Yingqi first carried out hand punishment on him - after each board, he then used the board to press the hands of the tortured. The punishment of "ten fingers and one heart" made Mao Zemin so painful that when he was tortured, he bit his lower lip and bit his clothes. The hands that originally provoked the people's economic burden were rotten again before they were good, and the blood gushed out again before it dried up. Over and over again, Mao Zemin's hands were already numb, and he didn't feel a little pain, only that the thugs in front of him were in pain.
Later, Li Yingqi changed the method of torture, he sent Mao Zemin to another interrogation room, to take turns to interrogate, with a whip to whip. Because Mao Zemin was tortured day and night, whipped, and occasionally closed his eyes to take a rest, he was immediately awakened by the interrogators with a potion of high chemicals and placed it under his nose, stimulating the originally weakened nerves.
After such a vicious circle of stimulation day by day, Mao Zemin could not sleep at all. But even after being tortured to the point of unconsciousness, he did not relax a bit in testimony. He said: "I will not give up the communist position, I believe in communism, just like Chiang Kai-shek believes in God." ”
After a long period of cruel torture, Mao Zemin passed away in pain and unconscious feelings. At the time, he was only 47 years old. Before his sacrifice, he had already anticipated that his deadline was approaching, so he left a message to his comrade-in-arms, "If you have the opportunity to return to Yan'an and meet my eldest brother, Comrade Mao Zedong, please tell him that I Mao Zemin, as a member of the Communist Party of China, Mao Zedong's younger brother, and Mao Zeqin's brother, I am not ashamed." Then he died generously.
It is said that "father and daughter are one heart", shortly after Mao Zemin's sacrifice, Mao Yuanzhi, the daughter of Yan'an, was uneasy in her heart, and her eyelids jumped very badly, as if she expected something, but she did not dare to think about the bad. After Mao Zedong returned to Yan'an after the negotiations in Chongqing, she hurriedly asked Mao Zedong: "Uncle, where is my grandfather?" ”
Mao Zedong looked at the photograph that Mao Yuanzhi was clutching in his hand, kept his head down, and did not speak. After a long time, he suppressed the tears in the corners of his eyes and said, "Your grandfather was killed by the Kuomintang reactionaries." Subsequently, he did not dare to look at the eyes of Mao Zemin's wife and daughter, and went straight into the office, secretly sad. However, what has always haunted him is where is the body of his good brother, the good "steward" of the People's Red Army, Mao Zemin? What kind of torture was he subjected to before his death? In private, Mao Zedong had been asking Liu Huping, minister of the Social Department of the Xinjiang Sub-Bureau, to secretly investigate the truth about Mao Zemin's murder.
After a long investigation, on a winter night in 1949, in a brightly lit room in Xinjiang, Secretary Huang of the Ministry of Social Affairs carefully examined a large stack of enemy and pseudo-archives after the victory of liberation, while Liu Huping, minister of social affairs, held his forehead in a stack of case files and sighed a few times. Suddenly, Secretary Huang's eyes widened in surprise and he shouted: "Minister Liu, interrogation records, Comrade Mao Zemin's, come and see!" As soon as the words fell, Liu Huping immediately bounced off the stool, hurried to the table, picked up the file, and looked intently at the text above with wide eyes. The brush wrote a lot of words, but the words were cone-hearted. Mao Zemin's sonorous words made Liu Huping's eyes red, and he also provided some clues, and he quickly led the guards to investigate. Later, after a coordinated investigation and arrest by many parties, Zhang Sixin, the prison director at the time, and Li Yingqi, the executioner, were arrested and arrested. Subsequently, the whole process of Mao Zemin's death was exposed, and the people of the whole country were deeply saddened. But what makes people even more resentful of Li Yingqi and his party is that when the remains of the martyr Mao Zemin were found, the remains were a mess and could not be recognized.
Mao Zemin's murder has always been Mao Zedong's heart disease, and he regrets that he, as the eldest brother, did not protect his younger brother. In 1975, the 82-year-old Mao Zedong was already full of gray hair and had difficulty walking. But he still found the comrade, and sincerely said to the responsible comrade of the central delegation that went to Urumqi to attend the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, "Please pick a bouquet of flowers for me and put it in front of my brother's tombstone." ”
"Jun buried the mud under the spring, and I sent the world full of snow." Brothers who have dedicated their lives to the cause of the Chinese revolution, if they see China now, they may walk hand in hand, look at each other and smile, walk back to their hometown happily, eat a bowl of hot Shaoshan dishes, and share the table with their families again, chat about home cooking, drink small wine, and celebrate the reunion together.
Mao Zemin, the first person to open up a new path for China's financial undertakings in the war-torn years, the first minister of the Managerial Department of the Chinese Red Army with selfless dedication, and the first president of the National Bank of China who bravely took up the heavy burden of the country. He was halfway out of the house, but with his firm faith and unique wisdom, he became the best financial leader in the history of the Communist Party of China, and explored a bright path for the financial development of the national conditions at that time. He used his life to shoulder the burden of upholding faith and secrets. His name should be engraved in the hearts of each of us, and he is the brightest star.
I am the Phantom of Shi Hai, and I am following me to praise history.
