The Jinggangshan base area was the first revolutionary base area created by the people's army under the leadership of the Communist Party, and it was precisely at Jinggangshan that Chairman Mao met Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo, and then met with Zhu De and Peng Dehuai, which made this central Red Army unit. In the end, it also succeeded in tearing down the three mountains, so that the people would no longer be oppressed.
From some film and television dramas or historical records, we can know that the war at Jinggangshan made the Red Army jealous of not He Jian of the Xiang Army, nor Zhu Peide of the Gan Army, who repeatedly launched encirclement and suppression, and what made the Red Army really jealous was the big bandits who lived in Jinggangshan for a long time. Because this bandit inflicted heavy losses on our army, it is no exaggeration to say that our Red Army and he have a bloody vendetta, that is, this big bandit occupied Jinggangshan for 20 years after the Red Army was forced to withdraw, and also made Chairman Mao Zedong "remember" for 20 years.
After the founding of New China, Chairman Mao summoned Chen Zhengren, then secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial CPC Committee and political commissar of the Military Region, and at the beginning they were discussing things about Jiangxi's work, and the atmosphere was also very relaxed. This atmosphere lasted until Chen Zhengren left, when Chairman Mao suddenly stopped him as he was about to leave.
Chairman Mao personally gave the "special" task of the old account of 20 years ago
At this time, the chairman's expression was very serious, the anger between his eyebrows could not be hidden, Chen Zhengren did not know what was happening for a while, and the atmosphere was suddenly much heavier. Finally, Chairman Mao spoke: "Zhengren, this time you returned to Jiangxi and I arranged a task for you. Chen Zhengren couldn't wait to know what made the chairman suddenly ponder, so he hurriedly asked, "Chairman, what is the task?" ”
"If you find a person in Jiangxi, you must find it out by digging three feet into the ground, and you must remember to catch it alive!" Chen Zhengren: "What person?" Mao Zedong said: "This man, not only I want to find him, but you must also look for him, because although he is your compatriot, he is also the sworn enemy of our Red Army, my mortal enemy, and yours..."
Chairman Mao only pointed out the point and did not continue to talk about it, because that was the most untouchable place in Chen Zhengren's heart. Sure enough, after listening to the chairman's words, he immediately knew who that person was, and at this time Chen Zhengren's mood was very heavy and uncomfortable, but he still quickly turned back and said: "Please rest assured chairman, I will definitely let him pay the blood debt, not only to avenge himself, but also to avenge the people!" ”
Why was Chen Zhengren's emotions suddenly so excited? He seemed to know something about the man Mao Zedong said, and even had hatred with him, what kind of dumb puzzle was they playing between them?
It turned out that Chen Zhengren's mother was killed by this person, and the most excessive thing was that he also cut open Chen Zhengren's stomach and filled it with lime water, causing Chen Zhengren's body to be corroded, and there was not even a whole corpse, this person was Xiao Jiabi, who was called "Living Yama King", and was Chen Zhengren's unforgettable enemy!
The question, then, is what is the origin of Xiao Jiabi, who is known as the "Living Yama King," that can cause such a strong emotional reaction from Chairman Mao and Chen Zhengren? Then, let's take you into history, let's understand this "living Yama King" of Jinggang Mountain - Xiao Jiabi!
Xiao Jiabi was born in 1887, a native of Suichuan County, Jiangxi Province, and his family is a very well-to-do family. He grew up in a carefree environment, and in the era of war between the revolutionary party, the Qing government, bandits and foreign forces, many landlord families would distribute guns to nursing homes, and Xiao Jiabi's family was one of them.
It is conceivable that Xiao Jiabi is unrealistic not to grow crooked in this environment, so he is full of vices, fighting, bullying men and women, and bringing a lot of harm to the local people. Because of Xiao Jiabi's family factors, many people here are dumb and eat yellow and can't even say that they have bitterness, and they can only endure it if they have no choice.
After all, he was the eldest young master of a rich family, and his academic qualifications naturally did not fall behind, and he successively studied at the Nanchang Political science and law college and the Jiangxi Provincial Higher Agricultural School, and was also an "intellectual" in that era. However, born in a family of landlords in a ravine, his way to study is to find connections, and some of them are really talented and practical.
The local people are still very naïve to think that Xiao Jiabi will change after returning from his studies, at least he will do some things that cultural people should do. However, what he never expected was that he still did not change in the slightest, and even more excessively. He spent all his thoughts on the "crooked ways."
He found that human trafficking and opium were a quick way to make money, so he immediately had an idea of destroying humanity, and he had to start from these two aspects, and he was sure that he would not be able to do it on his own, so he began to instigate his family to support his idea. As soon as the family's mind was hot, they agreed to Xiao Jiabi's request.
In this way, under the guidance of Xiao Jiabi, the Xiao family engaged in the business of selling opium, women, and young adults, and the means were very cruel, and if anyone dared to resist, they would directly kill them, and over time, the Xiao family's business became better and better, and Xiao Jiabi began to use his brain again. He used the rich family property behind him, began to recruit hooligans everywhere, and dot the people in the government, after doing this, he felt that it was not enough, he also extensively purchased guns and ammunition to establish his own armed forces, and completely became the local "earth emperor".
After 1920, Xiao Jiabi became the general of the Dakeng Township Defense Regiment, and later became the general of the Suichuan County Jingwei Regiment. He even served as the commander of the first anti-communist column in Suichuan, Jinggang Appeasement District, and other positions.
During the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists, our Party led the "peasant movement" in Suichuan County, Jiangxi Province, and the two parties formulated the "Rural Revolutionary Political Program" in order to enable the peasants, helped the peasants to overthrow the bureaucratic power in the countryside, and implemented rent reduction and tax reduction. Therefore, the slogan of "fighting the local tycoons and dividing up the land" made Xiao Jiabi, who claimed to be the king and hegemon, sit in peace, and as a down-to-earth landlord, wouldn't he be the "fat meat" that he wanted to divide up his own family's land, and would he have a reason to give up his own things to others?
However, he could not be hardened by the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, so he thought of staying in Nanchang on the pretext of doing business. As for the little nine-nine clear-eyed people in his heart, they can see it, but he still underestimates the strength of our Red Army, and our Party has already grasped his whereabouts when he first appeared. His trick was as little as a paper tiger tickling the red army, and soon Zhu De, then head of the Jiangxi Provincial Police Bureau, put Xiao Jiabi in jail.
It was during Xiao Jiabi's time in prison that Chen Zhengren, the head of Suichuan County, confiscated Xiao Jiabi's family property. At this time, Chen Zhengren did not know that he had been targeted by the "devil", and Xiao Jiabi also knew that he did not have real power to confront the Communist Party, so he did not dare to openly oppose the Red Army.
On April 12, 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12 Coup", the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party broke down, our army was immediately on the passive side, and the reactionary regime that had been suppressed behind Xiao Jiabi was about to return, and he knew that his opportunity had come. Xiao Jiabi is the kind of personality that must be rewarded, and it is conceivable that he will do something later.
In June of the same year, Xiao Jiabi was released this time because of his "good" performance in prison and his promise that he would be rehabilitated after he was released from prison. However, knowing people's faces and not knowing their hearts, all this is Xiao Jiabi's painstaking pretense, and after he came out, he not only did not feel grateful to our party, but he always thought about how to retaliate against our party, because his character did not allow him to settle down on this matter, let alone reform himself.
It so happened that at this time, Xiao Jiabi received news that the Kuomintang reactionary level was interested in clearing out the armed forces of the Red Army, and he naturally could not let go of this opportunity, so he immediately began to look for the position of the Kuomintang reactionary level. After several twists and turns, he bluntly said that he and the Communist Party had a feud with each other, hoping to give him a chance to sweep the Communist Party away.
look at! Is this an uplifting speech? The emotions are still getting more and more excited, just like the real thing, will such a rake really be reused? Of course, the Kuomintang government was worried that no one Would send Xiao Jiabi to the door, and at that time, it was already unable to care about the character of the person. Otherwise, a hooligan like Xiao Jiabi would not have been able to get into the eyes of the Kuomintang at all.
In this way, Xiao Jiabi successfully sat in the position of chairman of the Qing Party Committee in Suichuan County with his three-inch tongue, and with the power and status, then the next step was time for his revenge. At that time, chairman Mao Zedong came up with the strategy of "encircling the cities by the countryside and seizing power by force" after the failure of the central city strategy.
In order to realize this strategy, Chairman Mao led more than 700 people of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army into Jinggangshan to establish a revolutionary base area, but this news soon reached Xiao Jiabi's ears, and he immediately dispatched his eagle dogs to catch our party troops by surprise. The large force was scattered at once, because it was difficult to resist the enemy's onslaught, and the guards immediately decided to cover the chairman's transfer.
In this way, after this vicious battle, there were only more than 50 people left around Chairman Mao, and Chairman Mao and the commanders and fighters did not expect that after going to Jinggangshan, they would actually lose the battle, and for a while everyone's mood was very heavy. But now is not the time to think about these things, after all, there is no escape from the enemy' pursuit.
In the rainy night, Chairman Mao led the remaining 50 or so people to regroup and set off, and the team circled around the gannan mountains for several hours, and finally escaped the enemy's pursuit at dark the next day. Although he had escaped, he left a thorn in Mao Zedong's heart.
The fact that the troops of more than 700 people were actually unable to form an army and make a mess under the blows of the enemy, and even only 50 people were left later, which was simply a great shame, so this matter made Chairman Mao always grumble, and later when Mao Zedong learned that it was the troops led by Xiao Jiabi, he said indignantly: "Good you Xiao Jiabi, our workers' and peasants' revolutionary army was almost destroyed in his hands, so we must settle down in Jinggangshan and bring the 'evil dogs' of this place to justice!" ”
In this way, Chairman Mao began to prepare a retaliatory campaign against Xiao Jiabi. In January 1928, Mao Zedong's Jinggangshan base area was almost formed, and the troops had almost rested, and at this time, it was very certain that our army would win against Xiao Jiabi.
During the period of recuperation of the troops, Chairman Mao also figured out Xiao Jiabi's den in Suichuan County, which was the big pit. Simply formulating an attack plan, the Red Army came to Dakeng and Xiao Jiabi's gang of war was about to break out. However, Xiao Jiabi's men were all a bunch of hooligans, and there was no comparison with the Red Army soldiers. It was soon wiped out by the Red Army.
However, their leader Xiao Jiabi was slipped away by him, which was equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain. Sure enough, Xiao Jiabi was very unwilling to accept that he would fail, and in order to prove his confrontation with the Red Army, he went to find help from the Kuomintang. For the reactionaries, someone like Xiao Jiabi is worth wooing, and it would be best if he could use his hand to wipe out the Red Army.
Therefore, Xiao Jiabi recruited troops with the help of the Kuomintang, and soon organized a team, and his Jingwei regiment grew larger and larger. And the purpose in his heart has always been very clear: to annihilate the Red Army!
In February of the same year, the 81st Regiment of the Jiangxi warlord Zhu Peide captured Suichuan County, and Xiao Jiabi, with the help of the Jiangxi warlords, "blockaded" the Red Base Area, taking military offensives and political divisions several times and three times, which made the Red Army a little overwhelmed. The newly reborn "Jinggangshan Base Area" suffered a devastating blow.
Just this way, Xiao Jiabi felt that it was still not enough, so he put forward the slogan of "stones must pass through the knife, the latrine must be overheated, and people must change the seeds", which was later adopted by Lao Jiang. Frenziedly carrying out his own plan of revenge, dealing with the revolutionary masses would rather kill three thousand than spare one, and most of them used torture, and the cruelty of the means even made the executioner break into a cold sweat when he saw it.
First of all, we must first understand that Xiao Jiabi's brutality is still different from the regular Kuomintang army. Xiao Jiabi, unlike the Nationalist Army, they were reckless men who belonged to bandits, and in war, even if the old and weak women and children were like grass in their eyes, they would not let go.
For example, Guo Yongxiu, the mother of Wang Ciyi, the leader of the Red Guards brigade in Suichuan County, had 6 sons in her life, 4 of whom participated in the revolution, and at that time she was a very closely watched existence, but unfortunately she was still caught by Xiao Jiabi's people.
After catching her, Xiao Jiabi paid no attention to one of Guo Yongxiu's old men, not only strictly interrogated her, but even personally tortured her, Guo Yongxiu was beaten to the skin, the sharp knife cut a series of openings in her body, the blood left along the mouth, and finally the clothes became blood-colored, because the blood dried up, the clothes were firmly stuck.
With just a slight movement, the clothes will pull the wound, and then a pain in the heart will strike, which is how cruel it is for an old man. Xiao Jiabi was simply inferior to a beast, just like this, he had not stopped, he also ordered his subordinates to throw Guo Yongxiu into the lime bucket, he also smiled very much and said to his subordinates: "Guo Yongxiu's belly is a co-bandit, to break her stomach to see how many other co-bandits have not been born." ”
Xiao Jiabi really made the four words of madness to the extreme at this time, and he wanted to ask you whose stomach this "demon" came out of, and whether you should still have half-brothers waiting to meet you? In the end, Guo Yongxiu, who was covered in scales, died in Xiao Jiabi's water prison.
Also having the same encounter with Guo Yongxiu was Zhang Longxiu, the mother of Chen Zhengren, deputy secretary of the Xianggan Special Committee, and Xiao Jiabi personally cut Zhang Longxiu alive with a pig-killing knife after being caught. There was also Hu Silin, chairman of the Suichuan County Soviet Government, whose ten fingers were all nailed into steel needles, and the process during the period was not introduced much, and finally after Hu Silin's death, his head was hung on the Suichuan bridge. The cruelty of Xiao Jiabi's methods is simply frightening, just like it was said before that even the executioner will break into a cold sweat when he comes.
Xiao Jiabi's methods not only did not frighten the Red Army, but on the contrary aroused the anger of the Red Army and the resistance of the broad revolutionary masses. In May of the same year, Chairman Mao and Zhu De sent the 2nd Battalion of the 28th Regiment of the Red Fourth Army to Suichuan, intending to eliminate Xiao Jiabi with the cooperation of the Red Guards.
When Xiao Jiabi received the news, he was very scared, and at this time he knew that he was afraid to escape, but what did you do before? Nervous, Xiao Jiabi hid in the mountains, hoping to escape the Red Army's troops. When the Red Army troops left, he went out of the mountains as quickly as possible to continue to maim the local people.
In September 1928, when the red fourth army returned to Jinggangshan from Guidong, Xiao Jiabi, in order to get the news from the reactionaries, immediately informed Liu Shiyi's 7th Division, and Liu Shiyi set up a tianluo net on Tianzidi Mountain to attack the Red Fourth Army. How could the Red Fourth Army not know about this trick of theirs, so they decided to come up with a general.
Soon, Liu Shiyi's 7th Division was defeated, Xiao Jiabi was furious after receiving the news of defeat, and his hatred for the Red Army was even higher, and he had no way to resist the Red Army, so he could only burn his anger to the people who had no power to bind the chickens, and even more fiercely mutilated the masses.
Later, after the main force of the Red Army moved east to create the Gannan base area, the revolutionary situation in Suichuan County began to deteriorate. The main reason was that because of the main attack of the Red Army at Jinggangshan, only a small part of the troops in Gannan remained in the base area. This news happened to be known to Xiao Jiabi, and he immediately had a plan, he thought that this was the best time to "eradicate" the Red Army at Jinggangshan Mountain, and if he missed it, he might not have it.
Therefore, he immediately led the Jingwei Regiment to jointly carry out encirclement and suppression of Jinggangshan by the reactionaries. He listed the places where Mao Zedong fought with the Red Army, such as Wujing, Maoping, and Ciping, as "key bloodbath areas" and implemented the strategic plan of killing once every 3 days and burning once every 5 days. More than 120 Red Army soldiers who did not have time to escape were shot en masse in Xiaojing, more than 130 villagers were slaughtered at Ciping, and more than 2,000 houses of the masses were burned down, of which Xiaojing burned down to the "Zhonghechang" small restaurant where the bandits had to eat.
Xiao Jiabi's various evil deeds in Jinggangshan made people shudder. His methods were even more cruel: more than a dozen kinds of brutal means, such as burning, cutting veins, cramping, etc., were all inflicted on the Communists, and even their relatives could not escape. After the founding of New China, statistical data showed that he killed 2,500 Red Army, party members and cadres, and innocent people, and the nickname of "Living Yama King" was derived from this.
There was no way for the Red Army troops to abandon the Jinggangshan base area, and then because of the "fifth encirclement and suppression" launched by Chiang Kai-shek, the Red Army was forced to start a long march full of crises. Without the suppression of the Red Army, Xiao Jiabi became the real "earth emperor" in the local area, and even with the support of the Kuomintang reactionaries, he built more than 150 pillboxes in various places in Suichuan County, and at the same time set up ammunition depots, prisons, and water prisons.
Because of Xiao Jiabi's rule, the local people lived a miserable and dark life, and he also opened 3 money houses in the county town and Dakeng, issued usurious loans to the majority of small and medium-sized merchants at a monthly interest rate of 20%, and also issued token coupons without authorization---- "Dakeng circulation coupons", relying on wanton looting of the people's fat people's cream to live a luxurious life, occupying more than 20,000 acres of mountain farms and fields in Suichuan, Yongxin and other places.
How could the people's lives be better in this way? What Xiao Jiabi didn't know was that his good days were coming to an end, the crimes he had committed were too numerous to count, at that time, because of various factors, there was no opportunity to kill him completely, and now the time to eliminate evil has arrived, and what the account of 20 years ago said should also be well calculated, otherwise he would not be able to swallow that breath.
Heavenly Dao good reincarnation heaven spared no one, you can't run away
In May 1949, Chen Zhengren presided over a joint meeting between the Jiangxi Provincial Military Region and the 48th Army of the People's Liberation Army, and decided that the 142nd Division would enter Ganxi to complete Chairman Mao's order to "capture Xiao Jiabi alive." Soon the 142nd Division reached Suichuan County, because we had a strong mass force, so Suichuan County soon ushered in liberation.
After receiving the news, Xiao Jiabi did not choose to flee at first, but had a feeling of wanting to confront the Platon Army head-on. However, the fact that you have this idea does not mean that his subordinates will agree, and his subordinates must know that they have done many unconscionable things with Xiao Jiabi over the years, and if they are arrested by the People's Liberation Army, the consequences are self-evident.
As a result, they began to flee one after another, and there was no time to take care of Xiao Jiabi. Xiao Jiabi's side also had no way, before he could still rely on the people under his hands to fight, now no one has a fate if he does not run, he is only arrested. So he took dozens of henchmen and ran into the mountains.
Xiao Jiabi was very confident that the People's Liberation Army would not find him, but he forgot that the real owner of Dashan was the villagers of Jinggangshan, and with the help of the villagers, Xiao Jiabi had no way to escape. In this way, according to the clues of the masses, Xiao Jiabi was captured alive. After the news of Xiao Jiabi's arrest spread, his minions and henchmen surrendered one after another, and Suichuan County achieved real liberation from then on.
On November 11, 1949, Xiao Jiabi was tied up by the local government to the playground of Suichuan Middle School for public trial, and as soon as the news came out, the people came to the scene, according to statistics, more than 40,000 people were present at that time. Under the gaze of the broad masses of the people, Xiao Jiabi was immediately executed, and his execution made all the people breathe a sigh of relief, and this "living Yama King" was finally brought to justice.
Chairman Mao was very happy to learn this news, and after 20 years of worrying about the matter, there was finally an end, and he finally avenged those innocent people!
The heavenly path is good for reincarnation, the heavens have spared no one, since ancient times, accumulating virtue and doing good is the greatest duty of human beings, do not try to cross the boundary. Because good and evil will eventually be rewarded, no one can save you, you can accept it with peace of mind and wait to be punished!
