Author: Forget about the jianghu
In September 1955, ten generals of our army were awarded the rank of general.
Of the ten founding generals, 2 are very different: the youngest Xu Guangda took the initiative to ask for the treatment of a general and enjoyed the fifth level of administration; while the oldest Zhang Yunyi was specially approved by the chairman to enjoy the treatment of marshal, the third level of administration, because of his hard work and high achievements.
What is even more amazing is that before the liberation of General Zhang Yunyi, he had a wife and a concubine in his family.
Zhang Yunyi, whose original name was Zhang Yunyi, was born in August 1892 in Wenchang, Hainan.
General Zhang Yunyi
Hainan produced 7 founding generals: in addition to the general Zhang Yunyi, there were also generals Zhou Shidi, lieutenant generals Lu Sheng and Zhuang Tian, and three founding major generals Ma Baishan, Wu Kezhi and Fu Qijian. Zhang Yunyi was admitted to the Guangdong Army Primary School at the age of 16 and secretly joined the League at the age of 17. In the same period, only Mr. Zhu could be compared, and Liu Bocheng had not yet joined the army at this time.
In April 1911, the Huanghuagang Uprising in Guangzhou broke out, and the 19-year-old Zhang Yunyi was the captain of the bomb team. Under the leadership of Huang Xing, he attacked the Governor's Palace and retreated after a bloody battle with the Qing army. The next morning, Zhang Yunyi pretended to buy vegetables to inquire about the news, and returned with his comrades-in-arms surrounded by Qing troops.
The Huanghuagang uprising, sacrificing more than 100 heroes, 72 martyrs were buried by the citizens. Many years later, recalling this thrilling scene, General Zhang Yunyi said: "If I hadn't gone out to buy vegetables, I would have become the Seventy-three Martyrs of Huanghuagang." ”

In 1912, Zhang Yunyi was sent to study at the Guangdong Army Accelerated School.
In 1914, Zhang Yunyi graduated and was sent by the League to serve as a company commander in the Hainanbei Ocean Army to do anti-Yuan military movement work.
This year, the 22-year-old Zhang Yunyi became close to his fellow villager Wang Shi and soon added a daughter. In 1921, Zhang Yunyi was appointed as the commander of the Xiangshan Sand Protection Battalion of the Yue Army. In 1923, Zhang Yunyi was promoted to the governor of Jieyang County in Guangdong Province, and returned to Guangzhou for medical treatment because of ill health.
Taking this opportunity, Zhang Yunyi took the time to go home to visit his wife and daughter. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the house, I found that there was a strange young woman in the house. Seeing Zhang Yunyi with a blindfolded face, his wife Wang Shi rushed to pull him aside and told him that this was the second room. It turned out that his wife Wang Had not had a son for many years and had become a heart disease, and the Wang clan decided to give her husband a "concubine".
Once with his daughter haircut, Wang Clan met Han Bi, a small fellow countryman. One after another became familiar, and the Wang clan persuaded the little fellow to marry Zhang Yunyi to "be small". Under the soft and hard bubble, Han Bi agreed, and Wang Shi took it upon himself to marry the 19-year-old Han Bi through the door.
Zhang Yunyi cried and laughed, and did not recognize this protégé. During the recuperation period, Wang arranged for Han Bi to deliver food to Zhang Yunyi. After a long time of feelings, Han Bi gave birth to a son for Zhang Yunyi. Soon, Zhang Yunyi was appointed brigade commander, but his young son died prematurely.
