Where is the location of the former site group of the Fourth Red Army Pule Activity?

The former sites of the Fourth Red Army Pule Activity are cultural relics protected units in Hunan Province.

The "Fourth Red Army Revolutionary Site Group" includes the Fourth Red Army Military Headquarters, Red Army Arsenal, Zhu De's Former Residence, Red Army Hospital, Soviet Government, Liu Xiong's Former Residence, Liu Bin's Former Residence, etc. There is also a Red Army Road, a Red Army Bridge, and a Red Army Pavilion. This is truly the first red tourism village.

The former site of the Fourth Red Army Headquarters and Zhu De’s former residence

Follow me. Look, this is the headquarters of the Fourth Red Army. In 1928, Zhu De and Chen Yi led the Fourth Red Army to Dongshui, Pule, and located the former headquarters of the Fourth Red Army here - Dongshui Old House. This house was a relatively spacious house in Dongshui at that time.

The headquarters of the Sixth Red Army is located here and can be retreated or defended. It can be seen here that there is a hill behind the house, and there is a road leading from Dongluo to Dongbian Mountain, and there is also a road from Hongdong to Qiyun Mountain. Zuofang Road leads from Nankou Mountain to Sha Tin for only about five kilometers. On the right, go up the river from Youluokou to Longxi for about ten kilometers.

This house was originally the home of the Liu family in the Qing Dynasty. A dry house with two living rooms. The upper part is covered with small green water tiles made locally. There are wing rooms on both sides of the hall, with patio lighting and a reasonable layout. It covers an area of ??about 1,200 square meters and a construction area of ??800 square meters. There are remains of gun towers on the side of the house. Next to the blockhouse is the dining hall. There is a small cabin next to the dining hall, where Commander Zhu De lived. Red Army slogans can be seen everywhere on the screen walls inside the house.

Zhu De and Chen Yi conducted a series of revolutionary activities in Dongshui, including visiting the poor and asking questions about their sufferings, mobilizing the masses, fighting local tyrants, fighting landlords, and re-inserting bids to allocate land. Lead the people of Dongshui to launch a vigorous agrarian revolutionary struggle.

Subsequently, the Dongshui Soviet Government Peasants' Association was established and a revolutionary regime was established. The Liu family ancestral hall is located at the meeting site. At the mass meeting in Dongshui, Zhu De announced that there are four conditions for being an executive member of the Soviet government. Then Zhu De personally handed over the gun to the Dongshui Soviet Government Peasants' Association.

Finally, Zhu De said at the conference: "In the past, the local tyrants and evil gentry exploited us. The farmers had no food to eat, and the weavers had no clothes. They squeezed us poor people until we couldn't breathe. We must unite. , overthrow the rule of local tyrants and evil gentry, and realize land to the tiller." The members of the peasant association are in high spirits for revolutionary struggle. It promoted the vigorous development of the agrarian revolutionary struggle in surrounding townships and villages. Now the former site of the Fourth Red Army's military headquarters has become a provincial cultural relic protection unit in Hunan Province.

The First Arsenal of the Red Army

Okay, the next revolutionary site is the arsenal of the Fourth Red Army. It's not far from here, less than twenty meters.

This is the Red Army Arsenal. People from Dongshui in this place call it Lao Hefen. The Red Sixth Army Arsenal was created by Zhu De and Chen Yi personally. It is the first arsenal in the history of the Red Army.

Red Army soldiers and Dongshui workers and peasants armed forces built two stoves here. The Communist Party also manufactured weapons such as broadswords, spears, daggers, blunderbuss, muskets, and rifles, and repaired 0 accessories damaged by the Fourth Red Army troops in the battle. And the soil and mud from the old walls of the old houses in Dongshui Village were taken out. The soil and saltpeter are concentrated here to prepare gunpowder to effectively replenish the weapons and equipment of the Fourth Red Army. Soldiers loaded gunpowder into muskets and pine cannons, and fought to kill the enemy on the battlefield, intimidating the enemy. Improve the combat effectiveness of the Red Army.

Look at the walls of this house. The whole house is built for making bases. Dongshui people call them wall shakers. Now you can see that there are several holes dug in these walls, and these wall holes have all been filled with mud bricks. It looks like a monk's cassock. In fact, these wall holes were filled with saltpeter at that time, and it was the Red Army soldiers who dug out the wall mud to boil gunpowder. The mud bricks were added to prevent the house from falling down.

Later, Master Fang, a blacksmith from Dongshui, and several sturdy young men followed Zhu De's troops to Jinggang Mountains.

Red Army Bridge

Follow me and visit the Red Army Hospital together. The Red Army Hospital was located under Dongshuitang (today's Egongkou Group). It's a fifteen minute walk from here. As we walked, we looked at the scenery on the road, and I introduced to you the commemorative Red Army Road, Red Army Bridge, and Red Army Pavilion in Dongshui. After visiting the Red Army Hospital, I will take you to visit it again if there is still time. All right.

Let me start with the Red Army Bridge.

The Red Army Bridge is an ancient Liangqiao on Dongshui. It is located in the center of Dongshui Cave, on the way from Shatian to Qiyun Mountain through Dongshui. The Red Army Bridge is a wooden covered bridge structure. It is a bridge. From a distance, it looks like a large sedan chair. The bridge has eight large pillars. The top of the bridge is covered with small water tiles fired from earthen kilns. The two sides of the bridge are blocked with wooden boards to form a closed structure. No matter whether the wind or rain comes, passers-by can rest here. The bridge deck is lined with large planks sawn from the Kuzhu tree. The wooden planks sawn from the Kuzhu tree are called Shima Tiao (Alchemy Stone) by the locals. They are immortal for a hundred years and will last for thousands of years. So far, no matter how big the flood has been for hundreds of years, the bridge has never been washed away. Dongshui Ancient Wooden Bridge is the center of activity for Dongshui villagers. Villagers often chat and play chess and cards on the bridge for fun. There are many benches on both sides of the ancient Liangqiao for travelers to sit.

In 1928, Zhu De often came to this bridge to play chess with the masses and keep in close contact with the masses. Use the opportunity of playing chess to publicize revolutionary principles to the masses and call on the peasant masses to rise up and make revolution.

Later, the people of Dongshui named this ancient Liang Bridge the Red Army Bridge in memory of Comrade Zhu De and the soldiers of the Fourth Red Army.

Red Army Road

There is an ancient road from Dongshui Village to Shatin that is only five kilometers long. It takes less than an hour to reach Shatin from Dongshui. It is a veritable Red Army Road. At that time, the Red Army troops led by Zhu De and Chen Yi entered Dongshui through this road.

Now we are taking this Red Army road. The climbing road ahead is a valley-style mountain path paved with rocks. There is a tall, century-old maple tree in front of the temple on Red Army Road. In autumn, the trees are covered with red leaves, which makes people feel that "frost leaves are as red as February flowers." There is also an old pine tree. This ancient pine is like a welcoming pine, with spreading branches and whirling green leaves. Halfway along Red Army Road, there is a mountain spring water flowing out from the cliff. The spring water is cool and sweet. One person can drink, but no matter how many people drink it, they can’t finish it.

This Red Army Road leads slowly uphill from Dongshui to Nanshan Col. After passing Nanshan Col, you can see the panoramic view of Sha Tin, and then it is the way down the mountain. This section is a very dangerous stone staircase. It seems to be carved out of the cliff wall. There is a danger that "one man can guard the gate, but ten thousand men cannot open it".

The peak on the left side of Nanshan Col is called Niu Shixian. It is a fairyland Taoist temple. Everyone follow my hand and look there to see Niu Shixian. There was a Red Army outpost there at that time. The Red Army sentries had a full view of the enemy troops marching from Sha Tin to the East Water. If there is any enemy situation. Immediately set off fireworks on the top of Niu's Fairy Mountain. When the Red Army in Dongshui Village saw Niu Shixian's fireworks, they knew there was an enemy situation in the direction of Shatin, and the Red Army soldiers had sufficient time to prepare for the battle in advance.

Red Army Pavilion

The Red Army Pavilion I want to tell you is on Red Army Road, located exactly in Nanshan Col. The Red Army Pavilion has a dry mud wall and small water tiles on the pavilion. There is a bench on each side of the Red Army Pavilion for pedestrians to sit, talk and rest. There are ancient green trees beside the pavilion.

Every year, people from Dongshui Village volunteer to add tiles, pick up leaks, and clean the Red Army Pavilion. It is still well preserved and is the memory of the people of Dongshui Village for Zhu De and the Red Army.

There are ancient pines on the Red Army Road, so someone wrote a couplet on the inner wall of the pavilion, "A person who lives longer than the ever-old pines in Nanshan will be as blessed as the flowing water of the East China Sea." The first couplet is embedded with the words "Nanshan" and "Song". The characters "东" and "水" are embedded in the second couplet. Although this couplet is far-fetched, it can also be said to be a coincidence.

Commander Zhu De also felt that this couplet was very interesting here. While drinking tea at the home of Liu Jikun, chairman of the Dongshui Farmers Association, we talked about the couplets in this pavilion. Commander Zhu De thought it would be good for someone to make a couplet for the door of this pavilion. Liu Jikun said, I have always wanted to draw up a couplet for Nankou Mountain Col. I just drafted a couplet. Read it out loud casually:

"It's empty on all sides, whether it's a house or a shop, who makes the decision?"

After hearing this, Commander Zhu De felt that the chairman of the farmers' association was quite talented. . Commander Zhu De thought for a moment and composed the second line. The second line he wrote is,

"There is a road at both ends. Whether I am standing or sitting, I am in charge."

This pavilion couplet was later carved on wooden boards and hung at the door of the pavilion. This couplet has become a favorite in the Shatin area of ??Dongshui.

Red Army Hospital

Okay, we have arrived at the Red Army Hospital. The place name here is Dongshuitangxia (now Egongkou Villagers Group).

The Fourth Red Army Headquarters Hospital was located in a house at the foot of the mountain), also to facilitate retreat in case of enemy situation. This house has a second living room with small water tiles. The land in front of the house is still very wide.

In early August 1928, the 28th and 29th Regiments of the Fourth Red Army failed to attack Chenzhou and suffered heavy casualties. All the Red Army soldiers who were injured in the battle were arranged to be treated here. In the absence of medicines, they invited the herbal medicine herbalists from Dongshui to go up the mountain to collect herbal medicines. They collected baskets of herbal medicines. Guidong is the Chinese herbal medicine gene bank. Various Chinese herbal medicines. Such as Panax notoginseng, stone monkey, Polygonatum japonica, Huanglian, Lobelia, Scutellaria barbata, early grass vine, honeysuckle, golden retriever, goldenrod and so on. The military doctor worked with the local doctor to prepare the medicinal wine for bruises. Medicinal powders to stop bleeding and promote muscle growth, as well as special medicine for swords and guns, etc. The sick and wounded have achieved good results. The farmers' association organized more than a dozen revolutionary activists to care for the wounded, wash and cook, and boil water and grow vegetables. At that time, many people also sent eggs and three-yellow chickens to provide nutritional supplements to the wounded and sick members of the Red Army. Let the sick and wounded Red Army soldiers return to the front as soon as possible. Maintain the combat effectiveness of the Red Army.

The Red Army’s presence in Dongshui reflected the feelings of the military and civilians everywhere. On August 22, 1828, after Mao Zedong and Wan Xi led their troops into Guidong County, they sent people to the headquarters of the Fourth Red Army in Dongshui to get in touch with Zhu De and Chen Yi. The next morning, Zhu De and Chen Yi rushed from Shatian to Guidong County to meet Mao Zedong. Mao Zedong held an enlarged meeting of the front committee attended by cadres above the battalion at the Tang Family House in Guidong. On August 25, the Red Army brigade returned to Jinggangshan, the cradle of the revolution, in two groups.

Pule Town: a township under the jurisdiction of Guidong County. It was established as a township in 1950, converted into a commune in 1958, and reformed into a township in 1984. It is located in the south of the county, 32 kilometers away from the county seat. It covers an area of ??126.6 square kilometers and has a population of 13,000. The township government is stationed in Fangyuan. Access road. It has jurisdiction over 13 village committees: Shangjin, Wenxi, Baoxia, Dongshui, Shangjing, Hongdong, Xinzhuang, Jiangbei, Aipai, Xiaojiang, Xudong, Yangling and Pule. Township enterprises have ceramic factories. Places of interest include Xianqiao Tianle, one of the eight scenic spots in eastern Guangxi. .
