Introduction to Zhang Chong's former residence
Zhang Chong's former residence is located in Songke Village, Shemu Village Committee, Dongshan Town, Mile City, which is 4.5 kilometers away from the seat of dongshan town government and 48 kilometers away from the urban area of Mile City.
Zhang Chong's former residence was built in the late Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, burned in the Republic of China, and rebuilt on the original site in 1933.
The former residence is a courtyard civil structure, double-slope roof building, 3 main rooms, a pair of halls between the left and right ears, 3 east main houses and 3 west halls, the whole building covers an area of about 630 square meters, is a typical "one seal" traditional residential building in Mile and Luxi areas.
The gate is a scholar-doctor flower gate system, with a vertical plaque on the top, engraved with "Dafu Old Di", the left book "The Twenty-second Year of the Republic of China", and the right book "Wang Yongyu Written, Miao Haoran Book".
In December 2003, it was announced as the sixth batch of provincial-level cultural relics protection units in Yunnan Province, in March 2011 it was announced as a revolutionary site in Honghe Prefecture, and in 2021 it was included in the first list of immovable revolutionary cultural relics in Yunnan Province.
The former residence is set up, and 7 major sections tell the life and deeds of Zhang Chong
Zhang Chong's former residence is divided into 4 parts: "Preface", "Chronology of Zhang Chong's Memorabilia", "Life Deeds" and "Afterword", of which life deeds are the mainstay, using the forms of physical exhibitions, graphic explanations, and model displays, and 7 sections to tell in detail about the glorious and heroic deeds of Zhang Chong's life.
First, the banner of righteousness is raised with enthusiasm
Chivalrous teenager
Zhang Chong has been intelligent since childhood, good at learning martial arts, making friends widely, sympathizing with the working people, and full of resistance spirit. Zhang Chong helped his friend Zhao Guangting in his early years, and later Zhao Guangting became the king of Zhanshan and strictly ordered his subordinates not to attack the Zhang family. In 1918, Luxi Haoshen jointly framed Zhang Chong for "colluding with the bandit leader Zhao Guangting" and was hunted down, and Zhang Chong was forced to defect to zhang Shouting, the king of Pingyi (present-day Fuyuan County).
Soon after joining the company, Zhang Chong found that this team had loose discipline and blindly snatched and killed, resolutely led his support for his brothers to set up a banner of righteousness, and put forward the slogan of "the rich people send me money, the middle-aged people are not idle, and the poor come to celebrate the New Year with me." Zhang Chong led the team to rob the rich and help the poor, eliminate violence and be healthy, and was supported by the toiling people, and the team quickly grew to more than 600 people.
Night raid on the station
At the beginning of the twentieth century, the French imperialists took advantage of the privileges of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway to arbitrarily extort, extort and insult the Chinese people, and Zhang Chong led his people to raid the Xiaohekou station of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway and seize 100,000 yuan of silver from the French. Subsequently, he led the team to ambush Yiliang Station and seized 20 boxes and 100 French-made three-shot pistols. Striking at the arrogance of the French invaders shook the whole of Yunnan for a while.
Incorporated into the Dian Army
Zhang Chong led the peasant rebel army to be active in the areas of Pingyi, Luliang, Luoping, Lunan, Luxi, Mile, and Qiubei. It quickly developed to four or five thousand people and became an armed force in Yunnan that could not be taken lightly. Tang Jiyao, the governor of Yunnan, sent Wei Jiu and Hu Ruoyu to encircle and suppress him many times without success, so he sent people to recruit An.
In order to preserve his strength, Zhang Chong was appointed as the leader of the seventeenth detachment of the Yunnan Army, and later promoted to the position of deputy commander of the Ninth Regiment of the Second Army and commander of the road protection of the Long-to-Panxi section of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway. After the "February 6" coup d'état in 1927, he assisted Long Yun in competing for the "King of Yunnan" and made many military achievements. He was appointed commander of the 1st L01st Division of the Dian Army.
Second, the coal will benefit the people by moving the brine
Reform the salt administration
In 1931, Zhang Chong served as an envoy for salt transportation in Yunnan. At this time, the price of salt in Yunnan soared, and ordinary people suffered from light food. Zhang Chong made up his mind to reform the salt government, and carried out drastic reforms from the three aspects of field officials, stove households, and salt merchants.
He personally visited the four salt wells of Heijing, Yuanyongjing, Abujing and Langjing in Yanxing County, and proposed a plan to reform the salt administration in March 1932.
Move the brine to the coal
In 1932, Zhang Chong went down the river from Yuanyongjing to investigate all the way down the river to Yipinglang. According to the inspection situation, it was decided to change the "coal transfer to brine" to "transfer brine to coal", and submit a feasibility study report on the coal for brine transfer to the provincial government. The following year, the Yunnan Provincial Government approved a plan to transfer brine to coal.
In February 1933, Zhang Chong concurrently served as the supervisor of the Yipinglang Salt Works Engineering Office, organized migrant workers to build a 21-kilometer glaze ditch, and transported the salt brine from the Yuanyongjing area to Yipinglang, and used coal instead of firewood to fry salt.
In September 1937, the coal transfer project was completed, and the cost of salt production was reduced by 30 times, enabling Yunnan to survive the salt industry crisis and setting a precedent for environmental protection in Yunnan.

Oath to the army
【The Dian Army swore an oath to fight against Japan in Kunming】
In 1937, when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out in full swing, Zhang Chong immediately returned to Kunming from the salt control site to ask for service to the motherland, and Zhang Chong's determination to "be willing to repay the country with the shroud of Ma Ge" touched Long Yun, who appointed him as the commander of the 184th Division of the Dian Army.
In October 1937, more than 40,000 people from 3 divisions of the 60th Army held an oath ceremony in Kunming and rushed to the anti-Japanese front.
Blood Battle Yu Wang Mountain
In April 1938, the 60th Army of the Dian Army went to Xuzhou to participate in the second phase of the battle. Zhang Chong led the main force of the 184th Division to hold the position of Yuwangshan on the outskirts of Xuzhou, fought bloodily for more than 20 days and nights, withstood the repeated attacks and sneak attacks of two mechanized divisions of the Japanese Kou Banyuan and Isoya, repelled dozens of crazy attacks by the Japanese army, killed and wounded more than a thousand Japanese troops, and thwarted the Japanese army's attempt to take Xuzhou directly.
【Zhang Chong Former Residence Exhibition Hall Blood Battle Yuwang Mountain Corner】
The Battle of Yuwangshan set one of the best records for the Kuomintang army to win a battle on the frontal battlefield, and was compiled into the Kuomintang's military textbook as an excellent battle example.
Xuzhou breakout
【Xuzhou Breakthrough of the 60th Army】
In May 1938, the 60th Army was ordered to retreat from the area around Yuwangshan and reorganize in the Bianshan area. The 184th Division was reorganized into 3 regiments. Just after the reorganization of the 60th Army was over, Li Zongren ordered the Dian Army to guard Xuzhou and cover the retreat of the Lunan Corps, and the 60th Army became the last Chinese army to withdraw from the Xuzhou battlefield.
Zhang Chong led his troops to take charge of the rear, counterattacked the pursuit of the Japanese Banyuan Division, so that a large number of elite divisions retreated safely, and the Xuzhou Breakthrough became a glorious stroke in the history of the War of Resistance.
Platoon city to block the enemy
【The 60th Army blocks the enemy in the Pai City】
In September 1938, the Japanese army began to attack the Paishi area. The 182nd and 183rd Divisions of the Dian Army, which had been baptized by the bloody battle in Xuzhou, were all composed of new recruits, and the 184th Division commanded by Zhang Chong fought head-on with the enemy at the shiti, Baimenlou, and Yanzishan frontal lines at the eastern end of the city, and undertook the main combat tasks.

In the battle of Yangxin and Paishi, the 184th Division adopted the "anti-slope tactic" and used an extremely favorable natural barrier to stubbornly resist the Japanese Ninth Division for 40 days, paying a tragic price, and the 184th Division lost more than 2,300 people.
Fourth, the heart of the hometown to develop water conservancy
The Milu Water Conservancy Supervision Bureau was established
In 1939, Zhang Chong was dismissed by Chiang Kai-shek due to his defeat in the Battle of Chongyang and returned to Yunnan to devote himself to the construction of water conservancy undertakings in Mile and Luxi.
In 1940, the Yunnan Provincial Government agreed to set up the Milu Water Conservancy Supervision Bureau, appointIng Zhang Chong as the supervisor of the Supervision Bureau, which consisted of the General Affairs Office, the Reclamation Department, the Secretariat, the Accounting Office and the Treasury, in addition to the Establishment of the Material Inspection Committee, which recruited more than 100 technicians and staff.
Zhang Chong personally asked the couplet: "Water to the canal into no drought; the force period cultivator has his field." It was posted on the pillar of the establishment of the Supervision Bureau, and in his report at the conference, he said: "I have confidence and determination to succeed in the water conservancy office of Nanxiang Dam in my lifetime."
Construction of water conservancy projects in the hometown
Zhang Chong successively presided over the construction of the Dianhui Canal and the Longgong Canal to benefit the people of his hometown. In 1941, Zhang Chong presided over the construction of the Longgong Canal, with a total length of 5.67 kilometers (now jumping into the Dagou Cipeng sentinel to the Ganchong section), so that more than 2,000 mu of dry land in the villages of Wanzizhai, Fabeigou, Dazhuang and Ganchong in Mile Dongxiang were effectively irrigated.
The Dianhui Canal, with a total length of 8 kilometers, was completed in April 1943, which greatly improved the water conservancy conditions in the Bamboo Garden and Punpu areas.
In 1941, Zhang Chong led engineers to Taipingzhuang to investigate, proposed to build a Taiping Reservoir, due to insufficient funds, only to build a barrage stone dam in Cipeng.
In 1944, Zhang Chong invited water conservancy experts to once again survey and plan the Milu Taiping Reservoir, and decided on a plan to build a dam at the Yakou of Zhanmatian (now the site of the Taiping Reservoir Dam).
In 1951, Zhang Chong, then vice governor of Yunnan Province, coordinated with engineers from the Provincial Water Conservancy Department to go to Taipingzhuang to re-survey and affirm the plan to build a dam at Yakou in Zhanmatian and restore the Jiufeng'an Hydrological Station.
In October of the same year, the Mile County Party Committee officially decided to build the Taiping Reservoir and started the Zhang Chongyuan Plan, which was completed in 1989.

Fifth, abandon the dark and turn to the party
Volunteer Party members
In 1930, the Kuomintang established the Qing Communist Committee in Yunnan in a vain attempt to eliminate the underground party organizations in Yunnan and kill the communists, but due to the betrayal of the traitors, the organs of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China suffered major damage, and Wang Desan, Li Guozhu, Wu Cheng and other underground party leaders were arrested and killed.
Zhang Zhizhong, a member of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee who Was familiar to Zhang Chong, was also arrested and his life was in danger. At the risk of being suspected of being a communist, he quickly found Long Yun, cleverly and euphemistically asked Long Yun to mediate and release Zhang Zhizhong.
Look for the Red Army
In 1930, during the Second Yunnan-Guizhou War, Zhang Chong took advantage of the opportunity of sending troops to Guangxi to try to find the Red Seventh Army, and even wanted to rely on the Red Army to establish a revolutionary regime in Guangxi. He sent people to contact the Red Seventh Army three times, the first time he sent a platoon commander, but he did not contact, the second time he sent a company commander, and he did not contact, the third time he sent a battalion commander, but still did not contact, although the search for the Red Seventh Army was unsuccessful, but he never gave up the idea of contacting the Chinese Communist Party.
Secret Party Branch
In March 1938, the 184th Division passed through Jiangxi, and Zhang Chong sent Zhang Zhizhong to Wuhan to find the Communist Party and its troops in order to make contact and contact. After wandering around, Zhang Zhizhong found Luo Binghui, director of the Eighth Route Army Office of the Yunnan Communist Party, and with the consent of Zhou Enlai and Ye Jianying, he sent a group of cadres to work in the 184th Division. Since then, Zhang Chongbu has had a secret organization of the CCP, and the establishment of party branches in the 184th Division played an important role in the uprising of the generals of the Dian Army in the late stages of the Liberation War.
Three mountains hide guns
Zhang Chong purchased a batch of weapons from He Shaozhou, the police commander of Guizhou, and secretly transported them to the "Three Mountains" (Mile West Mountain, Luxi Dongshan, Lunan Guishan), and specially selected ethnic minorities from the "Three Mountains" area to run training classes for young people to train machine gun shooters.
After the Kuomintang launched a full-scale civil war, the Yunnan underground party first formed a people's armed force in the "Three Mountains" totaling more than 500 people, and the fighters were all ethnic minorities young and middle-aged, and these weapons provided favorable conditions for the armed struggle launched by the Yunnan underground party in 1948.
Defected to Yan'an
【Revolutionary Holy Land Yan'an】
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Zhang Chong was blacklisted and monitored by Kuomintang agents for supporting the democracy movement. In 1946, the Yunnan Provincial Working Committee of the Communist Party of China asked him to use his status as a representative of the "National Congress" as a cover for a secret meeting of Dong Biwu to transfer to Nanjing via Shanghai. After the conclusion of the "National Congress", Zhang Chong went to Beiping on the pretext of divorcing his wife Hui Guofang.
In January 1947, under the careful arrangements of the CPC, Zhang Chong and his family rushed to Yan'an and were cordially received by Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Peng Dehuai and other leaders of the CPC Central Committee. Zhang Chong made a request to join the Chinese Communist Party. With the approval of the Cpc Central Committee, in April of the same year, Zhang Chong joined the Communist Party of China through the introduction of Jin Cheng and Shen Bochun.
Plotted against the Dian Army
[In 1948, when Zhang Chong instigated the Northeast Dian Army, he shot this photo and the poem he wrote into Changchun City.
In 1948, Zhang Chong was assigned by the Party Central Committee to the northeast front, and successively served as a senior senator of the headquarters of the Northeast People's Liberation Army and vice chairman of the Songjiang Provincial People's Government, responsible for plotting against the 60th Army and the 93rd Army of the Yunnan Army in the northeast.
After Zhang Chong arrived in the northeast, he wrote to Zeng Zesheng (commander of the 60th Army) and Long Yao (commander of the provisional 21st Division) many times, pointing out the critical situation and the only way out for the Dian army, and advising them to take just action at an appropriate time.
In November 1948, Zeng Zesheng led the 60th Army to revolt in Changchun. When Mao Zedong praised Zhang Chong and others for doing a good job in the work of the Dian Army, Zhang Chong replied: "It is all the party's leadership and party work, and it is the red flag that has been planted on the head." Mao Zedong said: "When the red flag is planted on the head, it must be willing to do it; some people want him to carry it, but he is not willing to carry it!" ”
Sixth, true emotion promotes unity
Advocate ethnic equality
[Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou received the deputies of the First National Conference on Ethnic Minorities in 1950 (Zhang Chong, the seventh from right in the first row)]
In August 1949, as a representative of ethnic minorities, Zhang Chong participated in the preparatory meeting of the New CppcC and proposed "opposing Han chauvinism and opposing narrow nationalism." Chairman Mao Zedong instructed that opposition to "Han chauvinism" should be changed to opposition to "great nationalism." Zhang Chong's proposal led to the adoption of the Common Program of the Chinese Political Consultative Conference on September 29, 1949, on "several provisions on opposing grand nationalism and narrow nationalism."
Promote national unity
In order to do a good job in ethnic work, Zhang Chong first took Guishan (Shilin County) as a pilot project for ethnic work, and then spread it to other regions, achieving very good results. Zhang Chong accompanied the Second Delegation of the Central Delegation for Nationalities to extend condolences to the upper echelons of the ethnic minorities and the masses, and successively visited Xishuangbanna, Dehong, Wenshan, Honghe, Dali, and Lijiang. The delegation also went to the Xishan area of Mile County to offer condolences to the Yi compatriots, which was warmly welcomed by the local people.
Resolve ethnic disputes
In 1949, after the victory in the Battle of Xichang in the Great Liberation of Xichang in the southwest, the remnants of the Kuomintang bandits who fled to the Wagang and Migu areas of Daliangshan created rumors and sabotage among the Yi people who did not know the truth, colluded with the reactionary leaders of the Yi nationality, and burned, killed, robbed, and abducted Huangping Street in Yongshan County, Zhaotong, Yunnan, causing serious difficulties and uneasiness in the lives of the local people.
In 1953, in accordance with the spirit of the instructions of the Central Military Commission of the Party Central Committee of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, Zhang Chong served as chairman of the Provisional Military and Political Committee of liangshan area, put forward a proposal for a policy of crossing the river, and played a particularly important role in winning over the vast number of Yi compatriots, uniting the upper echelons of the national people, and isolating the Kuomintang bandits, paving the way for the peaceful liberation of Liangshan.
Seven, nine into the tiger jumping heroic soul return
Water conservancy
After the liberation of the whole country, Zhang Chong actively threw himself into the cause of socialist construction; he successively inspected various large-scale water conservancy hub projects throughout the country, repeatedly reported the inspection situation to the party Central Committee and Deng Xiaoping, Ye Jianying, and other state leaders, and presided over the construction of a large number of large and medium-sized reservoirs and water diversion projects, which greatly improved the water conservancy conditions in Yunnan and promoted the development of agricultural production.
Nine into the tiger jump

On the basis of studying the damming in the "Hulukou" section of the Tiger Leaping Gorge, it is proposed to artificially blast the rock pile to form a high dam reservoir, dig a channel from near the stone drum to the south, introduce the water of the Jinsha River into the Erhai Sea, and then divert the water into the Dianchi Lake through the Erhai Artificial Canal, that is, "introduce the Jinsha River into Yunnan and the five lakes are navigable."
Bow down
In the spring of 1979, Zhang Chong went to the Jinsha River Tiger Leaping Gorge for the ninth time, but unfortunately fell ill on the way.
When Zhang Chong's life was in danger, he still remembered to speed up the development of hydropower resources in the Jinsha River, and firmly believed that the ideas of "south-to-north water diversion" and "development of the Jinsha River" for the benefit of the people would eventually be realized.
