At the beginning of 1938, a farmer found Ye Ting and said his idea of joining the New Fourth Army, but Ye Ting said with embarrassment: "Your historical status is too high, and it is not easy to arrange." ”
Who is this farmer? Why would Ye Ting say that his historical status is too high? What is the story behind him?
This peasant was Zhu Kejing, and in July 1937, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out in full swing, and the Red Army in the south was reorganized into the New Fourth Army, with Ye Ting as its commander. When Zhu Kejing learned of this news, he said to his wife next to him: "I want to return to the battlefield and drive out all the enemies." ”

A few months later, Zhu Kejing came to Nanchang, and the first thing he did when he arrived in Nanchang was to find Ye Ting, when Ye Ting was still reading documents in his office, the correspondent said that a farmer named Zhu Kejing came to him and said that he wanted to join the New Fourth Army.
Looking at Zhu Kejing in front of him, Ye Ting was very emotional, and heard that he came this time to join the New Fourth Army, which made Ye Ting feel embarrassed and thought, "What kind of work should be arranged for him?" Therefore, Ye Ting said to Zhu Kejing: "Your historical status is too high, and I don't know how to arrange work for you." ”
However, Zhu Kejing said: "I am willing to suffer together with the soldiers of the New Fourth Army, as long as it is beneficial to the war, I can assign any work." In this way, Zhu Kejing became the head of the Political Department of the New Fourth Army and a field service regiment directly under him.
Maybe at this point, everyone will be very questioned, who is this Zhu Kejing, and what kind of identity does he have?

Zhu Kejing, born on October 29, 1895 in a poor small mountain village in Li (lǐ) Ling County, Hunan Province, when Zhu Kejing was eight years old, his family cut down on food and clothing, and sent Zhu Kejing to a private school to study.
However, the efforts were not in vain in the end, when Zhu Kejing was fourteen years old, he was admitted to the middle school in the county through his own efforts, and in the middle school, Zhu Kejing was exposed to new learning, and at the same time learned a lot of different knowledge and knew a lot of different things.
In 1919, Zhu Kejing was admitted to Peking University, with the expectations of his family, embarked on the road of study, at Peking University, he came into contact with revolutionary ideas, communism, and soon he found that this was the path he had been looking for.
In 1922, Zhu Kejing finally joined the Communist Party of China as he wished, becoming a glorious member of the Communist Party of China, and at that time he silently vowed in his heart that he would fight for the cause of communism all his life.

In order to acquire more knowledge, Zhu Kejing wanted to study in other places, and just at the end of 1923, he was sent to study at the Communist School of Oriental Workers in Moscow, which was Zhu Kejing's first time abroad, he knew the mission he shouldered, and when he returned from his studies, he would better fight for communism.
After studying abroad for more than two years, Zhu Kejing returned to Guangzhou in July 1925 with a Soviet advisory group and officially threw himself into the revolution, and when he rested for a month, he came to the Third Army according to the organization's arrangements.
At that time, Zhu Kejing served as a party representative and director of the political department in the Third Army, which was somewhat special, with a very complicated composition of soldiers, a strong atmosphere of warlords, and a weak combat effectiveness. Zhu Kejing, who had just arrived in the Third Army, regarded this as the first arduous task, and he wanted to build a strong political work force.
In order to give the entire Third Army a new look, Zhu Kejing specially set up political offices between various levels, and at the same time opened schools to instill revolutionary ideas in the broad masses of soldiers and officers and men.
Finally, through everyone's efforts, the overall atmosphere of the Third Army has undergone earth-shaking changes, not only the military spirit has become more united, but the combat effectiveness of the soldiers has also been significantly improved.
In October 1925, the warlord Deng Benyin in the Hainan area, with imperialist support for him, offended Xijiang and seriously threatened the security of Guangzhou, so the Nationalist government in Guangzhou quickly transferred the Third Army against Deng Benyin's army, and the battle was commanded by Zhu Kejing and some other responsible persons.
After that, under the leadership of Zhu Kejing, the Third Army became more and more courageous in the Vietnam War, driving Deng Benyin's army all the way back to Hainan, and in the process of the battle, Zhu Kejing did not forget to do ideological work on the soldiers of the Third Army.
However, it was also at this time that Chiang Kai-shek exposed his wolf ambitions, and in March 1926, Chiang Kai-shek created the "Zhongshan Ship Incident" and began to exclude the Chinese Communist Party. Xiong Shihui, the education chief of the Guangzhou Third Army Officer School, aided and abetted abuse and provoked anti-communist incidents in the Third Army School.

At that time, zhu Kejing, who was on the front line, was furious when he heard this news, and quickly proposed to the military commander Zhu Peide to punish Xiong Shihui, but Zhu Peide and Xiong Shihui were closely related, so in this matter, he also opened one eye and closed one eye, which also completely angered Zhu Kejing, and he and Zhu Peide argued for a long time, and finally forced Zhu Peide to order xiong Shihui's removal.
Although this solved the problem of the Third Army Officer School, Xiong Shihui was still just a beam-jumping clown after all, and the most crucial problem was Chiang Kai-shek. At that time, Zhu Kejing noticed that Zhu Peide and some other local power parties were very dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's desire to monopolize power, so Zhu Kejing found the key point to solve the problem.
That is, to take advantage of the contradiction between Zhu Peide and Chiang Kai-shek to make the major warlords contain each other and force Chiang Kai-shek to restrain his behavior, but as soon as this idea appeared, Zhu Kejing immediately reported to Zhou Enlai, and after a series of discussions, the whole plan had a plan to implement.
In the end, Chiang Kai-shek saw that the crowd was angry and did not dare to continue to expand the whole thing, and Zhu Kejing was also affirmed by the organization because of this matter, and gradually reflected his talent.

However, things will always turn around, and what will Happen to Zhu Kejing after that?
After the victory of the Northern Expedition, imperialism saw the defeat of the Beiyang warlords, so they supported Chiang Kai-shek to steal the fruits of the victory in the Northern Expedition, and with the support of imperialism, Chiang Kai-shek's wolf ambitions were completely exposed.
Zhu Kejing saw that Zhu Peide was still hesitating, so he found Guo Moruo and persuaded Zhu Peide to oppose Chiang Kai-shek, and Zhu Peide, under the persuasion of Zhu Kejing and Guo Moruo, also agreed to stop Chiang Kai-shek's ambitions.
However, soon after, Chiang Kai-shek launched the April 12 counter-revolutionary coup d'état and prepared to mobilize troops to attack Jiangxi, at that time, Chiang Kai-shek found Zhu Peide, and used the high-ranking official Feng Lu as a temptation, while also exerting pressure, and finally, Zhu Peide saw the benefits and forgot his righteousness, and sided with Chiang Kai-shek.

When Zhu Peide sided with Chiang Kai-shek, he began to squeeze out the Communists in Jiangxi, including Zhu Kejing; at that time, there were many pro-Chiang Kai-shek elements who wantonly slaughtered the Communists, and staying in Jiangxi would be in danger, so Zhu Kejing disguised himself as a cargo man and left Jiangxi.
On July 15, Wang Jingwei was also in Wuhan to oppose the communist counter-revolution, at this time, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to hold the Nanchang Uprising, because Zhu Kejing was familiar with the situation in Nanchang, so the organization secretly sent Zhu Kejing back to Nanchang, and Zhu Kejing, who returned to Nanchang, was not idle, he found the old department of the Third Army, instigated them to participate in the uprising, and also planted the seeds of revolution in Nanchang.
On August 1, the Nanchang Uprising was officially held, when the ranks of the uprising were about 30,000 people, and after the efforts of these people, the Nanchang Uprising was finally victorious, and Zhu Kejing also became the party representative of the Ninth Army, but after the rebel army withdrew from Nanchang, because of the interception of the Kuomintang, Zhu Kejing lost contact with the party organization.
When Zhu Kejing lost contact with the party organization, he did not give up, he came to Guangzhou to find the party organization, but at that time the whole of Guangzhou was shrouded in white terror, and the party organization also secretly turned to the dark work, and it was easy to find it.

Therefore, Zhu Kejing went to Wuhan again, because the Kuomintang in Wuhan was arresting the Communists on a large scale, and staying in Wuhan would only become more dangerous, so Zhu Kejing quickly took his wife to Beiping to join his mother-in-law. He and his wife carved up a wasteland near Zhongguancun in Haidian and made a living selling vegetables.
In 1931, Zhu Kejing met his elementary school classmate Luo Zhengwen by chance, because they had not seen each other for a long time, they talked a lot that day, and Luo Zhengwen also learned about Zhu Kejing's encounter during this time, so he suggested that Zhu Kejing go to Guangxi Provincial Normal College to teach.
At that time, the principal of Guangxi Normal College was Yang Dongjing, he and Zhu Kejing were fellow villagers, and the relationship between the two people was also particularly good, when he heard that Zhu Kejing wanted to come to the school to teach, Yang Donghuan was very happy, and personally wrote to invite him to come.
At that time, in order to hide his identity, Zhu Kejing assumed the name Zhu Duyi, and in this way, Zhu Kejing came to Guangxi Normal College, which had a special place, that is, it did not charge tuition and meal money, because most of the students were born poor, and when Zhu Kejing knew the situation of these students, he would save a sum of money every month to fund those students who studied.

In the days when Guangxi teachers were teaching, Zhu Kejing found that most of the students here focused on intellectual and technical learning, thus ignoring the cultivation of scientific spirit, so Zhu Kejing taught all the relevant knowledge he learned to those students, and also published some articles for students to study.
Under the careful teaching of Zhu Kejing, the students not only have more exploration spirit for science, but also have a greater sense of national responsibility, and they want to contribute to China with their own efforts.
From 1932 to 1933, Zhu Kejing gave a speech entitled "Review and Prospect of the International Situation", through which he wanted to let the students understand the current international situation and thus stimulate their patriotic mentality.
When the speech was over, the students also learned about today's international situation, read more diligently, during that time, rarely saw students going out to hang out, most of them studied hard in the library and classroom, when Zhu Kejing saw the state of the students, he was also very pleased.

However, in Zhu Kejing's heart, he was always concerned about the Chinese Communist Party, and together with Yang Dongjing, he hired a large number of progressive young people, some of whom, like Zhu Kejing, were communists who had been separated from the party organization, and these people all had a characteristic, that is, they were never depressed and firmly fulfilled the mission shouldered by the Communist Party of China.
However, due to the large number of expanded personnel, the situation in Guangxi Normal College has also become complicated, and Bai Chongxi has sent eyeliner.
Bai Chongxi admired "educating soldiers in the regiment" and "educating in the regiment", so in the local colleges and universities, there were instructors sent by Bai Chongxi to conduct military training for these students, at that time, the military training instructor captain of the Guangxi Normal College was Wu Liangbi, who was a person with a brutal and rude personality, and often bullied those honest students.
Once, when the students returned from the field military training, they were already tired and exhausted, and even some students fainted, at that time, the students needed to rest the most, however, Wu Liangbi did not care about this, he asked the students to eat a good meal within ten minutes, otherwise they would be beaten, and at that time, this incident also caused a big storm.
Figure | Bai Chongxi
The students were not accustomed to Wu Liangbi's style and hoped that someone could stand up for them. On one occasion, Zhu Kejing led the students to carry out a cleaning that was attended by all personnel, including students and teachers, and of course, these instructors.
However, during the cleaning, Wu Liangbi did not follow the regulations, blatantly violated the rules, and led the instructors to watch the students work, at this time, Zhu Kejing went to the front of the instructors and asked them to carry out the cleaning, but Wu Liangbi and other instructors ignored it, as if they did not hear it.
Therefore, at the morning meeting on Monday, Zhu Kejing seriously criticized the instructors in front of all the teachers and students, and on the same day, Wu Liangbi ran to Bai Chongxi to complain bitterly, and Bai Chongxi also agreed to Wu Liangbi's resignation and leave the school, because of this matter, Zhu Kejing was deeply loved by the students, and the students liked such a teacher even more.
In October 1933, Bai Chongxi came to Nanning to play, at that time, Guangxi Normal College was holding the first anniversary of the establishment of the school, when the activity was presided over by Zhu Kejing, when Zhu Kejing finished speaking on the stage, he said to the following students: "The school has prepared candy for everyone, let's go and get it." ”
Figure | Guangxi Normal College
At this time, one of the students shouted: "There is candy, let's hurry up and grab it." So, the students all went to grab candy, the scene was once very lively, looking at these young people full of vitality, Zhu Kejing sighed: "The future of a country still depends on young people." ”
The event was successfully concluded, but someone told Bai Chongxi that the students of Guangxi Normal College were conducting riot drills, and then told Bai Chongxi about the scene of the activity, which also specifically mentioned Zhu Duyi.
At that time, when Bai Chongxi heard the name Zhu Duyi, he asked about his appearance characteristics in passing, and it was also at that time that Bai Chongxi began to suspect that Zhu Duyi was Zhu Kejing.
In April 1934, Li Renren, then the director of the Department of Education, was recuperating at home because of illness, and when Yang Donghuan learned about it, he thought of visiting him, and at that time, Yang Dongren was still carrying Zhu Kejing.
Figure | Li Renren
When he came to Li Renren's home, he found that there was another person in the room, that is, Bai Chongxi, who was also shocked to see Zhu Kejing coming, so he asked Li Renren why Zhu Kejing came to Guangxi Normal College to study and did not report to him, at this time, Yang Donghuan on the side was afraid that li Renren would be involved, so he explained that he did not talk to Li Renren, so Li Renren did not know.
However, Bai Chongxi did not pursue the matter at that time and went straight back home, at that time, Bai Chongxi did not know where to hear the rumors that Zhu Kejing had broken away from the Chinese Communist Party, so Bai Chongxi began to play his wishful thinking.
One day, there was a jeep parked in front of Zhu Kejing's house, which turned out to be a car sent by Bai Chongxi to pick up Zhu Kejing to dinner, and at that time Zhu Jing felt that there must be a conspiracy, as the saying goes: "The weasel gives the chicken a New Year's greeting, and it must not be kind." But at the time, it was not easy to refuse, so I was invited to the car.
When he finished eating, Bai Chongxi finally said his purpose, and it was because he had heard about Zhu Kejing's talents and wanted Zhu Kejing to turn to him and do things for him, so he made a appearance of a corporal Li Xian.
Figure | jeep
Of course, Zhu Kejing refused, he used the matter to shirk Bai Chongxi's invitation, Bai Chongxi also knew in his heart that there was no room for negotiation on this matter, but at that time, it was not good to turn his face directly, so he asked Zhu Kejing to go back and think about it first.
After returning home, Zhu Kejing knew that Bai Chongxi would definitely not give up, so he explained the matter to Yang Donghuan, and then quickly left Guangxi with his whole family. Their destination this time was Changsha, but on the way to Changsha, the money had been exhausted.
Forced to do so, Zhu Kejing had no choice but to give his third son Zhu Xiulin to Yang Shiming as his heir, and then he went to Jiangxi to join his wife and uncle Wenqun. Speaking of this Wenqun, he had previously served as the director of the Department of Finance of Jiangxi Province, and now he was also concurrently engaged in the cause of rural cooperation in the four provinces of Henan, E, Gansu, and Fujian, and when he heard that Zhu Kejing had come to join him, he asked him to go to Henan Rural Cooperative as a commissioner.
In this way, Zhu Kejing came to Henan and started to work in agriculture. In 1938, as stated at the beginning, Zhu Kejing came to Nanchang, found Ye Ting, and told him that he wanted to join the New Fourth Army.
In 1940, Chiang Kai-shek instructed Han Deloitte to block the new Fourth Army's march north, and after that, Han Deloitte tried to win over the powerful factions near Taizhou in an attempt to contain the Communists, so Han Deloitte found Li Mingyang and Li Changjiang. At that time, when our army learned of this news, it found Zhu Kejing and asked him to fight for Erli.
On that day, Zhu Kejing came to Taizhou, found Li Mingyang and Li Changjiang, told them about the great national righteousness and pointed out the conspiracy of the Kuomintang, and let them know that this kind of behavior of the Kuomintang was depleting the strength of the anti-Japanese resistance.
In the Yellow Bridge War, Han Deloitte wanted to invite Li Mingyang and Li Changjiang to deal with the Chinese Communist Party, and under the oppression of Han Deloitte, Erli began to become uncertain, on the one hand, they were afraid that Han Deloitte had a large number of people, on the other hand, they were worried that the New Fourth Army was unstable, so the organization sent Zhu Kejing to Taizhou to negotiate with Erli.
Figure | Han Deloitte
At that time, in Li Mingyang's office, Zhu Kejing had been waiting for the good news from the front, and finally, at noon the next day, a phone call came from the front, and the Yellow Bridge War had been won.
In 1946, Zhu Kejing was sent to hao Pengju's work, and everything was going well, and Hao Pengju also agreed to accept Zhu Kejing's advice, withdraw from the civil war, and reorganize his troops into the Central China Democratic Coalition Army, but in June of that year, Chiang Kai-shek launched a major attack on the People's Liberation Army, and Hao Pengju also saw the wind and began to secretly defect.
Fortunately, this conspiracy was discovered in time by Zhu Kejing and informed the Party Central Committee, and the Party Central Committee, after learning of this, also invited Hao Pengju to the Shandong Military Region, where Hao Pengju pretended to be pitiful, and at the same time promised that he would definitely stand on the side of the great national righteousness, and in this way, Hao Pengju returned to his troops.
But what he did not expect was that after Hao Pengju returned, he set a trap and invited Zhu Kejing to attend the military conference, in fact, at that time Hao Pengju had already defected, and Zhu Kejing also felt that things would not be so simple, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still went to the meeting.
Figure | Hao Pengju
In this way, Zhu Kejing was arrested as soon as he saw Hao Pengju, and when Zhu Kejing was arrested, he was immediately brought to Chiang Kai-shek, who wanted Zhu Kejing to work for the Kuomintang, and in order to win over Zhu Kejing, Chiang Kai-shek also set up banquets three times to entertain Zhu Kejing, but Zhu Kejing was never moved.
At that time, Chiang Kai-shek even wanted to fake the illusion of Zhu Kejing's defection to the outside world, and he planned to let the secret agent impersonate a reporter, and then take a photo of Zhu Kejing wearing plain clothes outside the prison, so as to falsely claim that Zhu Kejing had defected and worked for the Kuomintang from now on, but these were all recognized by Zhu Kejing.
Figure | Chiang Kai-shek
In prison, Zhu Kejing still stubbornly fought against the Kuomintang, and let the Kuomintang conspiracy end in failure. Later, Chiang Kai-shek's patience was also exhausted, so he said to Zhu Kejing: "If you don't listen to my advice, sooner or later you will regret it." After that, Zhu Kejing suffered all kinds of torture, but he did not give in and was loyal to the Chinese Communist Party.
In October 1947, the Kuomintang had exhausted all means and still did not bring Zhu Kejing to his knees, and in the end, they actually used very despicable means to kill Zhu Kejing, who was only 52 years old at that time.
Zhu Kejing's contribution to the party is beyond doubt; he has always unswervingly followed the party, and this integrity has touched us, and we will never forget him or this soldier who is loyal to the Communist Party of China.
