Zhu De loves orchids and has raised thousands of pots of orchids in his life. It turns out that he misses someone very much.

Marshal Zhu De loved orchids all his life. After liberation, he not only raised thousands of orchids, but also wrote many poems praising orchids. In fact, Zhu De has a soft spot for orchids, which has a lot to do with his ex-wife Wu.

When it comes to the acquaintance between Zhu De and Wu, we have to talk about the Leiyang Campaign in 1928.

That year, Zhu De and Peng led the revolutionary army of workers and peasants to launch an uprising in southern Hunan, although they were repeatedly besieged by the Kuomintang along the way. However, under the wise command of Zhu De, he still won many battles.

/kloc-in the early morning of February, 0/6, the sky was not clear, and people in the ancient city of Leiyang were still sleeping.

Suddenly, there was a gunshot in the distance, and then I heard a deafening gunshot outside the city gate.

The intensive gunfire woke up all the people in the city.

Soon after, I heard the sound of hooves and running.

Some people quietly put their heads out of the window and saw the revolutionary army of workers and peasants in gray uniforms everywhere in the street. One of them, a short and burly middle-aged man who looks amiable, caught everyone's attention. He is Zhu De, with a good reputation.

In fact, the Leiyang campaign can win, and the credit of Leiyang peasant army has to be mentioned.

At that time, Deng Zonghai and Wu led the peasant army in Leiyang. During the Leiyang campaign, they led the peasant army and the revolutionary army of workers and peasants to cooperate with each other, which not only quickly solved the officers and men guarding the city, but also burned down the county government in a short time and rescued revolutionary comrades imprisoned by the Kuomintang.

After Zhu De and Deng Zonghai joined forces, they met Wu under the introduction of Deng Zonghai.

For Wu, the legend of Zhu De has been heard a lot, so Zhu De is a big hero in her mind.

Wu is very happy to see his idol this time.

Under the guidance of Deng Zonghai, Wu accompanied Zhu De to Deng Family Temple, which is the temporary office of the county party committee.

Just as he was about to take the door, Zhu De stopped. He saw a couplet posted on the gate: "expel the county regiment and welcome the revolutionary army." The horizontal batch is "Red Flower Leiyang".

Zhu De asked Deng Zonghai happily, "Who wrote this couplet?"

Deng Zonghai smiled and said, pointing to Wu, "Who else? It was written by a female scholar in our county. "

Zhu De once again turned to look at Wu seriously and praised him again and again: "What a pair!"

With Zhu De's praise, Wu, who was originally generous, was ashamed, but she didn't know when the two flew to her face.

Speaking of which, Wu is really a great girl.

She was born in Jiuyantang Village, Leiyang on 1906. Her family is a local farmer, and her family is fairly rich. Coupled with enlightened parents, she was sent to a private school when she was a child. 12 years old, she went to Leiyang County Women's Vocational School. After graduation, she was admitted to the Third Women's Normal School in Hunan Province with excellent results. There, she and Mao Zedong's sister Mao Zejian became classmates and forged a deep friendship.

During her study in Hunan Provincial Normal School for Women, Wu was influenced by the New Culture Movement and became an activist who opposed feudal superstition and advocated women's liberation. She not only took the lead in cutting off her feet, but also preached new ideas everywhere. With her encouragement, all the girls imitated her, not only cutting their hair short, but also liberating their feet that had been entangled for many years.

After the May 30th tragedy, the angry Wu immediately threw himself into the struggle against Japanese imperialist atrocities. She not only actively prepared for the anti-Japanese conference and participated in demonstrations, but also actively publicized and boycotted Japanese goods in view of the massive anti-Japanese struggle across the country.

1926, Wu returned to Leiyang after graduation.

At this time, at the beginning of the Northern Expedition, the peasant movement was surging.

Wu has always been very sympathetic to farmers, because she has lived in the countryside since she was a child and has seen the tragic experiences of many poor farmers. The ongoing peasant movement has strengthened her determination to follow the * * * production party.

When launching the peasant movement, Wu publicized the revolutionary truth everywhere, and Liu Tai, the head of the peasant association, also launched the peasants to fight local tyrants and divide the fields. At the same time, she also preached feminism to women. With her encouragement, many women cut their hair and became active members of the peasant association.

After the establishment of leiyang city Women's Federation, Wu Dang was elected as the chairman and became an influential revolutionary woman in leiyang city. At the same time, her performance was highly affirmed by the party organization, so her application for joining the party was approved that year.

However, He Jian, commander of the 35th Kuomintang Army, who hated the workers' and peasants' movement, at the instigation of Jiang Zhongzheng, openly betrayed the revolution and raised a butcher's knife to operate on the * * * production party and local peasant associations.

At this time, the white terror spread throughout Hunan, and many cadres of the * * * production party and peasant associations were also killed. However, Wu is not afraid. On the contrary, in extremely difficult circumstances, she insisted on fighting the enemy.

Deng Zonghai was sent to Leiyang by the provincial party committee to take charge of the work on September 1927.

After Deng Zonghai came, Wu not only helped him to establish Leiyang County Committee, but also made a detailed report on the underground party in Leiyang to Deng Zonghai, so that Deng Zonghai could join the revolutionary struggle as soon as possible.

Of course, what makes Wu even more happy is that the revolutionary army of workers and peasants, which is waiting for every day, strides forward and reaches the ancient city of Leiyang, completely driving the enemy away. In this way, she met Zhu De, a war hero who missed her.

At this time, Wu was only 22 years old. Her face is not only full of youthful brilliance, but also shows firm belief in her gentle eyes under her long eyelashes.

After learning about Wu's situation, Zhu De took a liking to her.

At this time, Zhu De had been divorced from his fourth wife, He Zhihua, for a long time.

The marriage between Zhu De and He Zhihua is a sad thing for Zhu De.

He Zhihua is the most beautiful of Zhu De's wives. Plus, she is cheerful, generous and a middle school teacher, so Zhu De is very affectionate to her.

However, He Zhihua has no feelings for Zhu De. She is willing to marry Zhu De because she is attracted by Zhu De's position and wealth. So when Zhu De sent her to Moscow for her safety, she turned and threw herself into the arms of others.

That bad marriage depressed Zhu De for a long time. Fortunately, Zhu De was a man who put the overall situation first, so he devoted all his energy to the revolutionary struggle, and slowly calmed down the damage that He Zhihua had caused him in the charge.

Now, seeing Wu's firm belief, Zhu De suddenly has the idea of getting married.

Deng Zonghai saw Zhu De's mind, so under his intentional matchmaking, Wu and Zhu De became revolutionary partners.

Interestingly, when Wu and Zhu De entered the bridal chamber, she stammered with Zhu De, "Teacher, I'm pockmarked all over my face. I'm afraid I'm not good enough for you." On the contrary, Zhu De smiled brilliantly: "You are a Hunan native who is not afraid of spicy food, and I am a Sichuanese who is not afraid of spicy food. We are hot together, and it will be a revolution in the future. "

After the establishment of the Soviet government of workers, peasants and soldiers in Leiyang, Wu followed Zhu De's team to Jinggangshan.

In the Red Army, Wu not only cooperated with Zhu De in political propaganda. And since having her, Zhu De's daily life has been well taken care of.

Soon after, he was transferred by Wu to the political department of Gongsijun as the propaganda captain. Every time she goes to a village, she will put up slogans and notices with the comrades of the propaganda team everywhere. At the same time, she will always closely unite with the poor peasants, carry out the campaign against local tyrants in an orderly manner, and publicize revolutionary ideas to the peasants. Thanks to her efforts, the Red Army not only won everyone's support, but also became stronger and stronger.

Besides, Wu also practiced marksmanship. Under the guidance of Zhu De, she can not only shoot accurately, but also shoot with both hands at the same time. Therefore, she was praised as a "two-gun woman" by the military and civilians, which laid a good foundation for her later participation in the Northern Expedition.

1In June, 928, Wu participated in the Battle of Qixiling.

At that time, due to the fierce firepower of the enemy, it quickly occupied the windmill mouth not far from the Red Army command post. This has seriously threatened the safety of the Red Army command post.

When Wu saw this, regardless of life and death, he resolutely rushed out of the trench and fired at the enemy again and again.

Wu's action inspired morale, and the Red Army followed her to pounce on the enemy.

Although the fighting was fierce, they finally drove away the enemy and regained the windmill.

After the battle, Wu's deeds spread like wildfire, and someone even made up an allegro for her to praise her bravery.

1929 65438+ 10, in order to expand the revolutionary base area, after joining forces with Mao Zedong, Zhu Mao took the Red Army to Gannan regardless of the freezing weather.

When gongsijun went to Jiangxi to find Wuji beach, the red army had to break through many times along the way because of the pursuers before and the interception afterwards.

On this day, GongSiJun arrived in Shenzhen, Zhu De saw that everyone was very tired, so he ordered to camp here and have a rest.

Who knows that at dawn the next day, Liu Zhiyi, a Kuomintang officer, took a regiment and suddenly launched a sneak attack on Gongsijun.

At that time, the situation was very critical, and Wu knew that Zhu De and other leaders could never be captured. In desperation, she broke through the enemy's side with a small team and successfully led the fire to herself.

Because Wu diverted fire, Zhu De and he were able to escape. However, Wu was captured because of a leg injury in the battle.

When Liu Zhiyi learned that Wu was Zhu De's wife, he immediately tortured her and pressed Zhu De and others for their whereabouts.

Although Wu was tortured to death, she refused to give in.

Seeing that there was nothing valuable to ask, Liu Zhiyi had to ask for instructions again, and according to his instructions, he took Wu to the execution ground and killed her in front of many ordinary people.

What is outrageous is that after killing Wu, Liu Zhiji cut off her head and hung it on the city wall to make an example.

Knowing the news of Wu's sacrifice, Zhu De was deeply saddened, and from then on, he had a different feeling for orchids.
