Unexpectedly, not long after, there came a shocking news: the old farmer became the vice governor!
What the hell is going on here? What is the special status of this old farmer and who is the person who meets him?
The old farmer's name is Ou Baichuan. 1894 was born in a family named ou in the Miao area in the northeast of Guizhou province. Oujia is a wealthy local family. My parents sent Ou Baichuan to a private school since childhood. He not only studies well, but also has great courage.
When Ou Baichuan/Kloc-0 was 0/0 years old, his parents sent him to another private school with better study conditions. Teacher Xue won't accept apprentices easily, so he made a joint exam of "Tiger Hidden in La 'er Mountain", and Ou Baichuan blurted out the joint exam of "Wolong is in Suma River".
Ou Baichuan's talent surprised Mr. Xue, because he used it to take the joint exam with other students, but no one answered. In contrast, Mr. Wang felt that Ou Baichuan was extraordinary and accepted the student on the spot.
19 12 ou baichuan was admitted to Guiyang model middle school, and a native Miao child was admitted to a famous school in the provincial capital, which also became a local sensation. After entering Guiyang Model Middle School, Ou Baichuan graduated with excellent results, but unfortunately he has no background. So, four years later, after graduation, Ou Baichuan returned to his hometown to start a school and became a rural teacher.
After Ou Baichuan started the school, he hardly charged students. Most of the children who came to study came from poor families, so he gave up charging tuition fees to help them. It is conceivable that a school that does not charge tuition is difficult to operate.
After a long time, people in the village can't bear to go on like this. He has a bright future. How could he be trapped in the mountains? So Ou Baichuan quickly went to Guiyang Police Training College to study and returned to his hometown to become a police captain after graduation.
After Ou Baichuan became the captain of the public security police, it took only half a year to change the lazy public security police force, which doubled the public security index of Songtao County in a short time, and the people applauded.
Soon after, the Guizhou Army was established in Songtao County, where the warlords in Guizhou were then located. At the invitation of a friend, Ou Baichuan resigned as the captain of the public security police force and signed up to join the army to save the country and the people.
192 1 year, Ou Baichuan came to work in Yan, the guerrilla commander of Northeast Road in Guizhou, and was promoted to the battalion commander of the Second Brigade of the First Division of Guizhou Army the following year. 1924, Ou Baichuan was promoted to head of the regiment and led his troops to zhenyuan county, an important town in eastern Guizhou, where he heard the name that changed his life-He Long.
When Ou Baichuan heard about He Long's reputation, he immediately contacted Qin Guangyuan, deputy commander of He Long and also a Zhenyuan person. Soon after, Ou Baichuan led his troops to Tongren to He Long, where he served as the head of the Second Independent Regiment of the First Division of Sichuan Army, the founding coalition of He Long. From then on, Oberon and He Long became best friends.
In the battle between Maoyangxi and Zhao Hengti in Taoyuan County, Hunan Province, Ou Baichuan commanded the whole regiment to fight bravely and seized many guns and ammunition. He also became a famous warrior in Helong.
On July 1926 and 1 day, the Guangdong revolutionary government issued a declaration on the northern expedition and officially began the northern expedition. He Long led his troops to participate in the Northern Expedition in Changde, Hunan Province, and was later incorporated into the Ninth Army of the National Revolutionary Army 1 Division, with He Long as the teacher and Ou Baichuan as the teacher. He Long led his troops from Changde to the north to conquer Cili, Shishou and Hubei Gongan County.
At the same time, the Northern Expeditionary Army has captured Hankou and surrounded Wuchang. Beiyang warlords immediately mobilized heavy troops to cross the river in three ways and launched a fierce counterattack against the Northern Expeditionary Army.
On the levee in Gongan County, Hubei Province, Helong Department was blocked by elite troops of Wu and Lu Jinshan Division, and Helong Department sacrificed many brigades, regiments, battalions and general soldiers.
At that time, a division of Beiyang Army launched a fierce attack on a brigade in He Long, and a brigade in He Long suffered heavy losses. At this time, He Long led the Ou Baichuan Group to arrive, and then Ou Baichuan did not hesitate to get rid of his coat, braved the bullets and led his men to charge ahead, and attacked back and forth, defeating Lu Jinshan Division.
He Long is very grateful for Ou Baichuan's action. He immediately took off his coat and put it on Ou Baichuan, saying, "Baichuan, put on your clothes quickly, and don't catch cold. With you, I won't back down! "
In the subsequent fighting at the bottom of the lake, Ou Baichuan defeated Beiyang Army in a bloody battle, and He Long led the troops to capture Yichang, an important town in Hubei, and attacked Henan, and occupied Kaifeng, the capital of Henan, on June 1927+0. After a series of bloody battles, the troops led by Ou Baichuan, with Guizhou Miao as the main force, are famous on both sides.
Soon after, He Long was expanded into the 20th Army of the National Revolutionary Army by order of the National Government, with two divisions, namely He Long's younger brother He Jinzhai as the first division commander, Ou Baichuan as the deputy division commander, and Qin Guangyuan as the second division commander.
As early as Tongren, Zhou Yiqun, who was sent by Zhou Enlai to He Long as the director of the political department, became friends with Ou Baichuan. Therefore, under the influence of Zhou Yiqun, Ou Baichuan gradually inclined to the * * * production party, and soon he asked Zhou Yiqun to join the * * * production party.
Unfortunately, at that time, many leaders of our Party found it difficult to accept the request of senior Kuomintang officials to join the Party, so Ou Baichuan, like He Long, did not join the * * * production party.
At such a critical moment, Zhou Enlai, He Long and Ye Ting are going to rely on more than 20,000 soldiers led by He Long, Ye Ting and Zhu De to launch the Nanchang Uprising. The uprising troops followed the designation of the Second Army of the National Revolutionary Army, with He Long as the commander-in-chief of the Second Army and Ye Ting as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy. The uprising is scheduled for the early morning of August 4th, 1.
On July 3/KLOC-0, at around 9: 00 pm, one of He Long's deputy battalion commanders was going to tell on the enemy. After He Long found out, he decided to advance the uprising time by two hours, that is, at 2 am in August of/kloc-0.
Oubaichuan Department set up sentries around the enemy provincial government and immediately reported the situation. At this point, the enemy provincial guards who learned the news of the uprising were terrified. 12 later, they decided to sneak out quietly, but it was a pity that Ou Baichuan found it and both sides shot at it.
This shot doesn't matter, but due to mistakes, the rebel ministries thought that the uprising was launched ahead of time, so they attacked their own targets one after another. The Nanchang uprising started ahead of time in the battle with the enemy in Oubaichuan. Therefore, it was not Mr. He who fired the first shot of Nanchang Uprising, but Ou Baichuan.
After a night of fierce fighting, the rebels successfully destroyed the enemy, which also marked the success of Nanchang uprising!
On August 3, the insurgents left Nanchang for Guangdong. The rebels suffered heavy losses under the siege of enemy troops from all walks of life. He Long immediately ordered Ou Baichuan to be the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, and He Jinzhai led the troops to defeat the enemy's Qian Dajun department and then occupied Ruijin.
After two wars of Sanheba and Tangkeng in Guangdong, the rebel army ended in failure. Soon, Zhou Enlai, Ye Ting, He Long and others went to Hongkong separately, and Zhu Deze led some insurgents to southern Hunan. He Jinzhai and Ou Baichuan led more than 2,000 soldiers who were unfortunately surrounded by the enemy. Ou Baichuan covered He Jinzhai's breakthrough at a critical moment, but was captured by him and the rest of the soldiers.
After being captured, Ou Baichuan managed to escape, bought a "yellow croaker ticket" in Shantou, then took a British merchant ship to Shanghai, and then took advantage of the chaos to inquire about the whereabouts of He Long in Wuhan and Changsha, but there was no news.
Because the Kuomintang Nanjing Military Committee issued an order to arrest cadres at or above the regimental level in Ye Ting and He Long, Ou Baichuan had to temporarily live in Luo Qijiang, an independent division of the National Revolutionary Army, with Ou Baichuan as the chief of staff of the Lieutenant Colonel, with great power.
When Luo Qijiang's troops were stationed in Enshi, they received instructions from the National Government and tried to attack the revolutionary base areas established by He Long in the surrounding areas. After learning the news, Ou Baichuan immediately tried to stop it and said:
Luo Qijiang was not loyal to the national government, and trusted Ou Baichuan very much, so he agreed to this proposal and wrote a letter to He Long according to Ou Baichuan's idea. He Long was also very happy to receive Luo Qijiang's letter. He immediately wrote back and said, "Now we must be careful. When the time is ripe, I will write to inform you. "
In this way, Luo Qijiang was stationed in Enshi for eight or nine months, but he never had any conflict with He Long troops.
It is worth mentioning that Ou Baichuan is still the county magistrate in Enshi for half a year. During his tenure, Ou Baichuan did his duty. As long as ordinary people encounter problems, he will try his best to solve them. What's more commendable is that Ou Baichuan himself is very clean, so he tries his best to reduce the unreasonable taxes of the people, which also makes the people frequently praise him as a great man.
On one occasion, in order to please Ou Baichuan, the county finance bureau even took out 5,000 yuan from the tax revenue to "honor" him as his personal expenses. Ou Baichuan was very angry when he learned about it. He resolutely rejected the other party's "kindness" and ordered the staff to allocate the money to the primary and secondary schools in the county to give local children a better reading environment.
This behavior of Ou Baichuan was very commendable in the corrupt Kuomintang officialdom at that time, and he was also respected by the local people and the squire.
1929, He Long and Zhou Yiqun returned to Xiangxi to carry out armed struggle. Ou Baichuan has just received two companies' troops. He Long resented being captured by the enemy, so he led his troops to meet He Long and Zhou Yiqun, and delivered Erlian to them.
After consulting with Zhou Yiqun, He Long didn't accept the couple, because they had just returned to Xiangxi, and their foothold was not very stable. At the same time, they decided to build their own armed forces from the failure of Nanchang Uprising.
While Luo Qijiang was stationed in Hubei and Hunan, He Long established a revolutionary base in Xiangxi. When Ou Baichuan knew about it, he also sent people to He Long to send a lot of guns, ammunition and winter clothes. In addition, he sent troops to escort He Long. Under the influence of Ou Baichuan, Luo Qijiang repeatedly avoided the He Long Red Army.
In this way, two people who were originally in the same camp accidentally became hostile camps. Although He Long is in the producer camp and Ou Baichuan is in the Kuomintang camp, their feelings have never changed.
1937 After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Luo Qijiang was ordered to go to Shanghai to participate in the Anti-Japanese War. Ou Baichuan no longer concealed his military strength and made great contributions in major battles. In order to show his determination to resist Japan, Ou Baichuan resigned as the head of the 702nd Regiment of the 82nd Division and led the troops to the front to resist Japan.
Ou Baichuan has repeatedly said: "The result of this battle is directly related to the survival of the country and the nation. Compared with the survival of the country and the nation, my personal safety is nothing! "
On the anti-Japanese front, the Japanese attack was more violent than everyone thought. They sent a large number of planes and tanks to crush our military equipment. Although the Japanese equipment is very advanced, our soldiers are not afraid.
Ou Baichuan often visited the front line, advanced and retreated with the soldiers, and mobilized many times before the war. With the encouragement of Ou Baichuan, the soldiers can always exert their unimaginable fighting power.
From 65438 to 0939, Luo Qijiang was the commander of the 82nd Division of the Kuomintang Army, and Ou Baichuan was the deputy commander.
1940, after the 82nd Division participated in the first Changsha Battle, Ou Baichuan became the commander of the 82nd Division because of the sacrifice of the former commander Luo Ren.
194 1 autumn, the second battle of Changsha, Ou Baichuan was ordered to go to Changsha from Changde to support. He acted very quickly and was praised by his superiors. However, it is a great pity that Chen Cheng and others, Chiang Kai-shek's cronies, have been crowding out the 82nd Division of troops directly under Chiang Kai-shek, whose officers and men are mostly from Guizhou, in an attempt to annex the 82nd Division.
After learning of each other's conspiracy, Ou Baichuan is going to lead a riot in Changde and oppose their plan to annex the 82nd Division. Ou Baichuan made two preparations. If he succeeds, it will be the best thing. If he fails, he can also lead his troops back to his hometown of Hunan, Guizhou and Hubei.
In order to make this plan go smoothly, Ou Baichuan specially invited his former colleague, Qin Guangyuan, the 2 nd division commander of the 20 th Army of He Long Department, to contact Yan' an and He Long for instructions.
He Long wrote back to Ou Baichuan immediately after he learned of his plan. In his letter, He Long first expressed sympathy for the current situation of Ou Baichuan and the 82nd Division, and then asked Ou Baichuan to focus on ethnic cooperation and the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War.
It's a pity that Ou Baichuan hasn't received He Long's call back, but he has already led a mutiny at Prince Edward Temple in Changde, and sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek in the name of all the officers and men of the 82nd Division, exposing the conspiracy of Chen Cheng and others to annex the 82nd Division and crowd out the officers and men of Guizhou nationality. In addition, Ou Baichuan also firmly expressed the determination of the officers and men of the 82nd Division to fight to the death.
The mutiny at Taizi Temple was an important event in the military history of the Kuomintang. At that time, local troops with miscellaneous brands openly resisted the annexation of the Central Army. Ou Baichuan's move shocked the whole country and was also known by He, the chief of staff of Guizhou. In the end, under the intervention of He, indefensible Chen Cheng personally went to Changde to meet Ou Baichuan, but was rejected by Ou Baichuan.
In the end, the National Government put the 82nd Division under the command of He's nephew He Shaozhou, and the storm ended.
What Ou Baichuan never expected was that his family in Xiushan, Sichuan was persecuted by the Kuomintang just after the incident of Taizi Temple. His wife and children were imprisoned, and his 8-year-old son was protected by the local people, but later he fell to his death. This incident made Ou Baichuan sad.
After the Prince Temple incident, in order to ease the contradiction with Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Cheng, Ou Baichuan left the army and went to study at the Kuomintang Army University. /kloc-in the summer of 0/946, Ou Baichuan graduated from the Army University, and then Chen Cheng took him home as a guest, implying that he would entrust him with an important task, which was rejected by Ou Baichuan.
Soon after, Ou Baichuan lived in seclusion in Xiushan County, East Sichuan, just across a mountain from his hometown. During his seclusion, he declined the Military Commission of the National Government and appointed him as the General Staff of the Ministry of National Defense. Ou Baichuan did farm work on the land he bought in his early years and lived with his wife and children. Without the disturbance of officialdom, he enjoys it.
1in the summer of 949, the defeat of the Kuomintang was a foregone conclusion. Li Mi, the confidant of Chiang Kai-shek who was defeated in Huaihai battlefield and also the commander of the Eighth Kuomintang Army, came to East Sichuan and wanted to invite Ou Baichuan as the deputy commander of the sixth training. They tried to use the influence of Ou Baichuan to organize people's forces against the PLA.
Ou Baichuan took his eldest son Eurasia with him. As long as Li Mi mentioned something about getting himself out of the mountain, he dragged his son around, which also made Li Mi furious. Then Ou Baichuan rejected Song Xilian's promise of 5,000 guns and asked him to intercept the request of the People's Liberation Army in East Sichuan.
At the end of 1949, the People's Liberation Army liberated Xiushan, and Ou Baichuan presided over the work of Xiushan County Branch Committee, which made positive and outstanding contributions to the liberation of Sichuan and Southwest China.
1950, when He Long, who was already the commander of the Southwest Military Region, heard the news of Ou Baichuan, he immediately sent a telegram to him and sent a special car to Xiushan's residence. Then the scene at the beginning of the article happened. Ou Baichuan is doing farm work in his own field. Unexpectedly, several military jeeps suddenly stopped in front of him, and he realized that something was going to happen.
Only a few people got off the military jeep and said to Ou Baichuan, "Hello, are you Mr. Ou Baichuan?" Ou Baichuan nodded and said, "You are ..." The other party replied, "Boss He asked us to pick you up."
When Ou Baichuan heard this familiar name, his thoughts could not help but return to that exciting moment decades ago. Then Ou Baichuan followed them into the jeep and went to Chongqing to see He Long. They haven't seen each other for more than twenty years after the Nanchang Uprising, so as soon as they met, they held each other's hands tightly and talked late into the night.
At the meeting of PLA cadres above the army level, He Long introduced: "This is Comrade Ou Baichuan, deputy commander of the First Division during the Nanchang Uprising. From Nanchang to Hailufeng, he was responsible for the command of the former enemy and opened up the way forward. "
Soon after, Ou Baichuan became the deputy director of Guizhou Ethnic Affairs Committee under the recommendation of He Long, and he also started a new life in his hometown of Guizhou.
After serving as the deputy director of Guizhou Ethnic Affairs Committee, Ou Baichuan devoted a lot of energy to the development of education and health in Guizhou ethnic areas, and was also praised by the party and people. Ou Baichuan actively called for the establishment of a college for nationalities in Guizhou to train talents for the development of ethnic minorities, which also contributed to the establishment of Guizhou College for Nationalities in May 195 1.
195 1 year later, Ou Baichuan successively served as the president of the Sino-Soviet Friendship Association in Guizhou Province, and even attended the World Peace Conference held in Warsaw. 1at the end of 952, ou baichuan was appointed as the director of the provincial ethnic affairs Committee. 1In February, 955, Ou Baichuan was appointed as the vice governor of Guizhou Province.
When the news that Ou Baichuan became the vice governor came back to the village, the local people were very shocked and proud. After all, in their eyes, Ou Baichuan is just an ordinary person. However, when the people learned the inside story, everyone gave a thumbs up and praised Ou Baichuan.
Under the leadership of Ou Baichuan, the official name of the Buyi nationality was clarified, and the scripts of the Miao and Buyi nationalities were also created, completely ending the history that the Miao and Buyi nationalities only had languages but no scripts.
From 65438 to 0957, Ou Baichuan, as a famous democrat and vice governor, responded to the call of the Party and helped it to carry out the rectification movement. However, what Ou Baichuan didn't expect was that something happened during this period, which also led to the dismissal of his deputy governor and other positions.
Ou Baichuan had to "retire" politically. I still come to work in the CPPCC every day, learn knowledge after work, or teach my younger son to write Chinese calligraphy.
In his later years, Ou Baichuan was in poor health, not only with high blood pressure, but also with arthritis, asthma and bronchitis. From 65438 to 0968, 78-year-old Ou Baichuan went to work in Meitan County, Zunyi, and his health became worse and worse.
After the Ninth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Ou Baichuan lived in a hut of the independent division of the military region, and was later taken to the hospital because of serious illness. 1 September, 9701day, Ou Baichuan died at the age of 76.
On May 24th, 1979, the United Front Work Department of Guizhou Provincial Party Committee held a memorial service for Ou Baichuan. In 20 12, Ou Baichuan's hometown Songtao Miao Autonomous County invested more than 2 million yuan to repair his former residence, and at the same time established an exhibition hall specially built for him. In July, Ou Baichuan's former residence and Ou Baichuan Exhibition Hall were officially opened to the public, and his legendary life finally came to an end!
