Around 1926, on both sides of the four great rivers of Naxiang, Zi, Play, and Li, a major event occurred. What's the big deal? It was the peasant movement. Regarding this movement, Chairman Mao wrote a special article called "Report on the Investigation of the Peasant Movement in Hunan." In that report, he gave a very vivid and enthusiastic description of the situation of the movement.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > First, Hunan bully Wu Bin does no evil, bullying men and women, just a little wife married 7</h1>
On the eve of the Northern Expedition, the Chinese Communist Party had established two local committees in Changde, Xiangxi, Hengyang, Hunan. More than 400,000 organized farmers in the province have been affected, and millions have been affected. This mighty force drove away Zhao Hengti, the governor of Hunan Province appointed by Wu Peifu.
At this point, those big and small local tycoons and inferior gentry, all hairy feet. The first class fled to Shanghai, the second class went to Changsha, the third class entered the small city, and the fourth class entered the county seat. The peasants, who had been oppressed for thousands of years, really raised their eyebrows and breathed.
There is Dafeng Village on the outskirts of Shashi, and there is a big bully in Dafeng Village, surnamed Wu Mingbin, who is called Wu Sanye because of the third rank. This Third Master Wu has a wide range of fertile land, and there are 13 trades outside. His house is a house of Qingtang Washe of Yishui, which occupies half of the street. There are many plaques hanging at the door: some sent by Wu Peifu, some sent by Zhao Hengti, and many more, all of them are leading figures in the military and political circles. This Wu Bin also exchanged posts with Yuan Zuming, and called Yuan Zuming the eldest brother.
Wu Bin not only had a wide range of family property, but also guns and cannons, and gathered a team of more than 300 people to protect the family and nursing home. Wu Bin is no evil, bullying men and women, and the little wife alone has married 7. The peasants who had set up private courts and water prisons and rented his land were forced by him to ruin countless people. No matter which county grand master, the first thing he did when he took office was to visit him, and even the important people from Changde and Changsha had to come to him to visit him.
The people in the vicinity of the circle gritted their teeth in hatred, but no one dared to provoke, no one dared to touch. After the peasant movement began, Wu Bin was a little bit on fire in the temple of the old master -- panicked. On this day, he was lying down smoking a cigarette, and a housekeeper named Zhang Hantian came over and said, "Third Master, think of a way, the Communist Party has helped the mud legs up, these mud legs are about to turn the sky, even Governor Zhao has been scared away, and Peng Bo's grave in Ningxiang has also been killed." ”
Wu Bin turned over and sat up and said, "Cold weather, my right eyelid is always jumping these days." As the saying goes: the left eye jumps wealth, the right eye jumps disaster, this year there will be some disaster ah! ”
Zhang Hantian said, "What disaster? It's those mud legs that make trouble! What peasant association did they set up, and who did this peasant association rush to? Rush to you Third Master Wu! ”
Wu Bin narrowed his eyes and said, "You pass on my words and find all the rudder handles around you." ”
Zhang Hantian agreed and withdrew.
What did Wu Bin do when he found the rudder handle? He wanted to use the organization of the Brotherhood against the Peasants' Association. Wu Bin is the dragon head master in the Brotherhood of Elders. That afternoon, the rudders all came, and Wu Bin summoned them to the Three Holy Palaces for a meeting. At the meeting, chicken heads were beheaded, blood and wine were drunk, and vowed to fight the peasant association to the death.
There was a young farmer named Ma Laogen in the farmers' association, who was the director of the farmers' association. At the age of 17, his father died in Wu Bin's water prison, and Ma Laogen's mother was raped and defiled by Wu Bin and thrown into the river. Ma Laogen and Wu Bin have a feud with each other.
On this day, the peasant association held a meeting, and thousands of people attended the meeting, and the croppers in the vicinity of the circle came. At the meeting, the suffering peasants accused Wu Bin of his crimes. Everyone talked about Wu Bin's crimes, and the more they talked about it, the more indignant they became, and the more they talked about it, the more angry they became. At the end, the field will shout like a volcanic eruption: "Down with the warlords!" "Down with the local tycoons and inferior gentry!" "Down with Wu Bin!"
The crowd clamored to arrest Wu Bin and put him to death. Ma Laogen stopped and didn't let him go, why? Although the peasant self-defense army was organized, it had no weapons in its hands and suffered a great loss. Unexpectedly, that night, Wu Bin actually gathered more than 500 bandits and sneaked into Dafeng Village. Because the Peasants' Self-Defense Force had just been organized, it was in a hurry to fight and was outnumbered, and dozens of members were shot and killed by reactionary forces, and more than 30 houses were burned.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > Second, He Long heard about Wu Bin's evil deeds and immediately opened his eyes</h1>
At this time, He Long was training troops in Shashi and preparing to continue the Northern Expedition. Some Dafeng villagers came to him for help and told him about the crime of the local tycoons shooting and killing the common people. After He Long listened, his eyes immediately widened.
He Long was born as a farmer, and he was very clear about the suffering of the croppers, and he had a very good impression of the peasant association, like the battle of natsu lake embankment, if it were not for the support of the peasant association, his troops would definitely suffer a big loss. At the moment, he ordered a regiment of He Jinzhai to help the peasant association fight the local tycoons.
At this moment, Chen Tunan entered the door, and after he understood the situation, he immediately stopped and said, "No." He Long asked, "Why?" ”
Chen Tunan said: "Wen Chang, there are three reasons why you can't send troops. He pulled his finger and slowed down his tone and said, "First, Wu Bin was originally a rudder, and you He Wenchang are also the ones who opened the incense hall." ”
He Long interrupted Chen Tunan and said, "I have long since stopped counting the brotherhood members, you said the second." ”
Chen Tunan said, "Second, this Wu Bin is Yuan Zuming's brother who worships the master, and we are Yuan Zuming's subordinates. ”
He Long said, "Mo said that he was Yuan Zuming's brother, that is, the Heavenly King Laozi, and he could not harm the people." I don't know, but now that I know, I have to take care of it! You say that second! ”
Chen Tunan said: "Third, Wen Chang is afraid that he does not understand the current situation in Hunan, and at present, the peasant movement in Hunan is already too bad to look like a look." Do you know the 'three-three-three system' and 'four-four-two system'? ”
He Long said, "I haven't heard of it yet." ”
Chen Tunan said: "This is a constitution of the Communist Party. The 'three-three-three system' means laying down 30 percent of the grain landlords, 30 percent of the sharecroppers, and 30 percent of the party departments, and the remaining 10 percent to the peasant association. The 'four-four-two system' means the grain laid down, 40% of the landlords, 40% of the tenant farmers, and 20% of the party department. And that communist wife, the nude movement. Nowadays, the dignitaries in the Kuomintang and celebrities from all walks of life have scolded this peasant movement as a very bad one, a leper movement! If we send troops, and we still fight Yuan Zuming's siblings..." Speaking of this, Chen Tunan knotted and said, "Wen Chang, the future is important!" ”
He Long listened to Chen Tunan's words and took the pipe from his mouth, and the hand holding the pipe waved and said, "Tunan, don't say it, I must take care of the killing of the peasants!" He turned to He Jinzhai and said, "You quickly take a regiment, grab the boy Wu Bin, and cut the corpse into ten thousand pieces." ”
Chen Tunan saw that He Long did not listen to his advice, so he had to shake his head and stop talking.
After He Jinzhai came to Dafeng Village with a regiment, he surrounded the bandit vigilante group. How could the bandit militia withstand the charge of the Northern Expeditionary Army? A burst of gunfire, and it collapsed. The Northern Expeditionary Army captured Wu Bin from the cellar. When He Jinzhai led his troops to attack the vigilante groups, the nearby peasants also took part in the battle with weapons, and directly beat Wu Bin's home inside and out.
He Jinzhai was very happy to see the common people raise their eyebrows and breathe like this. He listened to the people's accusations about Wu Bin's sins and shot Wu Bin to death. After that, the common people used a dung fork to prick Wu Bin's corpse to pieces. After cleaning up Wu Bin, He Jinzhai told He Longyi about the situation, and He Long said: "Find someone to write Wu Bin's crimes into a bulletin, and post them in the four townships, telling those bullies that if they dare to live with the peasant association, Wu Bin is the end." ”
He Jinzhai immediately found someone to write a notice and sent it to the peasant association to post it in the four townships. At this time, the old wealth of the nearby landlords can be calmed down, and the common people all clap their hands and applaud.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > Third, Yuan Zuming set up a banquet to entertain He Long, but also with He Long to worship the handle, what medicine is sold in the gourd? </h1>
This incident soon reached the ears of Yuan Zuming, who was stationed in Yichang, and Yuan Zuming, who was the left wing commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army at the time, heard that his general Wu Bin had been killed by He Long's troops, and his little eyes suddenly turned round. Yuan Zuming is not an idle person, and his heart and eyes are also like a honeycomb, and his eyes turn at will.
During the Battle of defending the country, he was a regimental commander, and because of his military achievements, he was appreciated by Sun Yat-sen. Yuan Zuming was very ambitious, and later secretly sent people to assassinate Wang Wenhua, the leader of the Qian army, in Shanghai, and took over the power of the Qian army. He openly supported Sun Yat-sen and secretly secretly communicated with Wu Peifu. This Northern Expedition was not originally intended to pull the troops out to expand their power and territory.
Because He Long was not his concubine, and seeing that He Long was not a subordinate, he had long wanted to get rid of him, and some of He Long's soldiers and horses were also in his hands. At the moment, seeing that He Long had killed his brother who had changed his post, he was naturally very annoyed when he thought that He Long was so blind. At that moment, he shouted, "Come on! Please Commander Peng. ”
Commander Peng is that Peng Hanzhang. There was not much work, Peng Hanzhang walked in, after performing the ceremony. Yuan Zuming said, "Han Zhang, that He Long beat the dog and his mother didn't look at the master, but hit Lao Tzu on the head." That Wu Bin was my brother who changed the post, and he dared to send someone to kill him. ”
Peng Hanzhang said, "Commander, this He Long is not a person who has lived under the people for a long time, and I think we must take advantage of his fledgling wings and get rid of him as soon as possible." ”
Yuan Zuming turned around on the ground and said, "Find a way to get him under the military power." ”
Peng Hanzhang's small eyes turned and said, "The director of the political department in He Long's unit is a "red-brained" Tongren man, and He Long obeys his words and is much colder to the chief of staff, Chen Tunan. Peng Hanzhang saw that Yuan Zuming listened carefully and continued: "This Chen Tunan is also a treacherous person, and I think we will do this." ”
Then, That Peng Hanzhang said a plan, and Yuan Zuming nodded his head.
Chen Tunan had just eaten dinner on this day, and a guard reported that a villager had asked to see him. Chen Tunan said, "Please come in." ”
There was not much work, and the guards brought the comers into the house. Chen Tunan glanced at the people, green clothes and small hats, around 30 years old, did not know. The man gestured to Chen Tunan with his eyes, and Chen Tunan would understand and hurriedly retreated to the left and right. The man took out two letters from his arms, and Chen Tunan took a look at them, one written by Yuan Zuming to himself and one to He Long.
Chen Tunan opened his letter and glanced at it, and saw that he Yuan Zuming greatly respected Chen Tunan's personality and knowledge, and was willing to marry him as a good friend of Jinlan, and the letter also mentioned that Yuan Zuming wanted to invite He Long to a banquet, and the invitation card was placed in another letter, asking him to forward the letter to He Long.
Chen Tunan took Yuan Zuming's two letters, and his heart was full of calculations. Chen Tunan thought, "When I came out with He Long, what did I run?" Ben is a dragon, and he will be able to sit in the country and mountains in the future, and he will also enjoy glory and wealth. As a result, he fought with him, not only had no future, but also got close to the 'red brain shell' and killed Yuan Zuming's brother in worship. Can Yuan Zuming agree? Yuan Zuming wrote to me today, he wants to worship with me, and there is no way to do it here! I'm, first find the thick root of the tree, the cunning rabbit and the three caves! ”
Thinking of this, Chen Tunan went to He Long and showed the letter to He Long. He Long said, "Yuan Zuming invited me to a banquet, and he also wanted to worship with me, what do you think he wants to do?" ”
Chen Tunan said: "The commander personally sent someone to send an invitation, such a big face, I think it is better to go." ”
He Long smiled, "I'm just afraid that his yellow wolf son will give the chicken a New Year's greeting, and he won't have any good intentions." ”
Chen Tunan said with a flick of his lips, "Where do you want to go?" Anyway, you and I are his subordinates. ”
He Long said, "Go, we'll go tomorrow, I'm also looking for Yuan Zuming, I have something to say to him." ”
As he was speaking, He Jinzhai entered the room, and he heard that Yuan Zuming had invited He Long to a banquet under his invitation, and he hurriedly stopped and said, "Wen Chang, this banquet cannot go, you just killed his brother-in-law, what should he do if he poisons you?" ”
He Long said, "I want to see what happened to him Yuan Zuming?" ”
He Jinzhai said, "Then I will send a company of soldiers." ”
He Long smiled, "If he wants to kill me, a company of soldiers will urinate." ”
The next day, He Long was on his way.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" >4, just as He Long was halfway to the road, a message suddenly came that Yuan Zuming and Peng Hanzhang had been stabbed to death</h1>
Who stabbed it? He Yingqin. He Yingqin was originally Wang Wenhua's brother-in-law, and in that year, Wang Wenhua was stabbed to death by Yuan Zuming in front of the "YiPinxiang" Hotel in Shanghai, and Yuan Zuming thus seized the military power of the Qian army. He Yingqin stabbed Yuan Zuming and Peng Hanzhang to death to avenge his brother-in-law. At this time, He Long was on the way, and someone reported to him.
He Long heard that Yuan and Peng had been stabbed and could no longer go to Yichang, so he folded his horse and returned to Shashi. At this time, word came out of the Qian army that He Long had sent people to assassinate Yuan and Peng Er, who had been in Qian for many years, and that most of them were their subordinates in the Qian army, and that Yuan and Peng had been killed, and that these people naturally did not agree. Therefore, those generals ordered the whole army to wear filial piety and pull up the team to go to Shashi to find He Long to settle the account.
This is really dangerous. Although the Qianjun army had no leader, after all, there were many people, and if it opened fire, the consequences would be unimaginable. At the moment when the arrow was wound and the knife was sheathed, a man came forward. who? Communist Wu Yuzhang. Wu Yuzhang was working in the Party Department of the Kuomintang Central Committee at that time, and he received a report from Zhou Yiqun, and knowing that the situation was serious, he reported to Tang Shengzhi.
The Wuhan Nationalist Government immediately sent Wu Yuzhang to Yichang to investigate. Wu Yuzhang then led a delegation to western Hubei in his dual capacity as both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. After he learned from many sources, the truth came out, and he admired He Long very much. He Long met with him at the Xia Zhou Hotel, and the two talked very closely, with a great sense of seeing each other and hating the night.
Therefore, Wu Yuzhang vigorously excluded the public opinion and swept away the rumors. At the same time, he proposed to transfer the He Longbu to Wuhan to defend the Wuhan National Government, so as not to be swallowed up by many rightist forces in western Hubei. He Long was very grateful for this.
In the spring of 1927, as the ice melted and the snow melted, the plan was approved. He Long led all the officers and men of the division down the river by steamship, moved to Echeng, and undertook the heavy responsibility of defending the three towns of Wuhan.
After He Long's whole division marched to Echeng, the division headquarters was set up in the Hankou French Concession, and the brigades and regiments were stationed at Liujiamiao, Zhanjiaji, Yangluo, and Echeng, and the officers and men of the whole division had reached 20,000 people, a total of 12 regiments. On February 13 of the same year, He Longdian presented the headquarters of the Northern Expeditionary Army, stating his attitude: "Absolute obedience to the National Government in Wuhan, subject to dispatch." ”
On February 18, the General Headquarters of the National Revolutionary Army was promoted to the independent 15th Division because of the helong division's outstanding achievements in the battle in western Hubei, and He Long was the commander of the division, which was directly under the command of the general headquarters.
At this time, He Long accepted Zhou Yiqun's suggestion, and on the basis of the officer school with the battalion, he opened the political training center of the Independent Fifteenth Division of the National Revolutionary Army.
