Feng Shui in Xuzufen
The old general's life is free and unrestrained, so Xu's temper and personality are deeply loved by everyone. In modern terms, Xu is the most popular general under his command.
And many stories of this old general are also such interesting legends. ...
195810 June 17, the sixth company troops stationed in the coastal defense front line of Ningbo, Zhejiang Province "earthquake"!
Of course, the earthquake here is not a real earthquake, but it means that you are going to be a soldier in the Sixth Company and will be a soldier in the future? This makes officers and men at all levels feel very strange.
The reason why Xu Youshi came to be a soldier was mainly Chairman Mao's intention.
On September 26th, Chairman Mao specially met with Xu in Nanjing. As soon as we met, Chairman Mao held Xu's hand tightly and said:
Xu has always respected Chairman Mao and immediately said that he could do it.
The next morning, the Nanjing Military Region held a meeting and Xu was selected as a soldier. However, Xu's rank is not a general, but a "first class soldier."
Soon, this day came, and Xu came to the Sixth Company with a backpack like a new recruit, and respectfully ran to the company commander and saluted him.
The company commander was startled and quickly raised his hand in return. Xu is very serious, saying that he is a soldier and should obey the arrangement of the company commander. The company commander ordered him to return the favor and assign Xu to the second row of Class 6.
Then, Xu came to Class Six. As soon as he entered the door, he saluted the monitor of Class Six, saying that he had come to report for duty.
The monitor of Class Six was frightened, too, and quickly poured water for Xu himself, but Xu insisted that he was a first-class soldier and didn't want to be special. Anyone can teach him in the future.
Looking at Xu's sincere eyes, everyone slowly dispelled doubts and nervousness, and Xu also started his own life as a soldier, eating and living with everyone and doing exercises together. At night, when it was time to stand guard, Xu was unambiguous and stood guard all night, so the soldiers had to take his place. Xu Youshi disagreed, but he still insisted on standing guard.
This spirit inspired all the soldiers of the Sixth Company.
In addition to things in the army, Xu is also very concerned about ordinary people, and Gu is the female representative he cares about.
One day, Gu came to Nanjing for a meeting. After learning about this, Xu invited her to his home. When she came in, Xu's wife held Gu's hand tightly to welcome her.
Xu looked at the two women get along so well, and he also jokingly said to Gu:
Gu Xinran agreed.
Shortly after dinner, Xu pointed to the dishes on the table and introduced them to Gu. These are some birds and some prey that he shot down.
Gu was surprised and quickly praised Xu for being too powerful. Xu also pretended to proudly say, if you can't even beat these games, what can he be as a commander?
Xu humorous words made everyone laugh.
Later, Gu went to Nanjing for a meeting and set off from Suzhou. He wanted to find a companion, but he didn't have anyone to accompany him. After Xu was informed, he went to the train station to meet Gu personally, which made Gu feel safe.
Such a trivial matter can still be taken to heart, which shows his concern for the people.
In addition to his concern for the troops and the people, Xu also has deep feelings for his hometown.
1952, Xu decided to go back to his hometown Dabie Mountain for investigation. At that time, there was no car service in his hometown, so Xu had to go back to his hometown by bus after arriving in Xinxian County.
After returning home, Xu first came to the graves of five good brothers, gave them a solemn military salute, and then added loess to the graves. When he left, Xu couldn't hold back any longer, and his eyes flashed.
Then, Xu pulled the horse down the mountain, and the appearance of Xu Jiawa also appeared in front of Xu. The so-called fear of being close to home made Xu nervous as soon as he saw his hometown.
Suddenly, an old man in his seventies appeared in front of Xu. The old man was wrinkled and ragged. He walked in Xu's direction with a bundle of firewood on his back.
After two people thoroughly see each other, the old man first took the initiative to stop in front of Xu, and then trembling asked:
Xu burst into tears instantly and knelt in front of the old man. Unexpectedly, it was his mother who recognized him first, not him.
Xu Youshi shouted "Niang" and kowtowed to his mother three times. The old man couldn't help it, and the two embraced and cried. They haven't seen each other for decades.
Soon, the news that Xu returned to his hometown alarmed the village cadres and villagers, and everyone came to visit the mother and son. Looking at the people in my hometown, I was speechless.
Unfortunately, due to something urgent, Xu only stayed in his hometown for three days this time.
1957, Xu went home for the second time.
This time, Xu came home very happy. She also ordered the staff around her not to do anything that surprised her old mother.
On entering the door, Xu was found by her mother. The surprise didn't come true. She was almost scared. Her mother is feeding the pigs. Although she looks thin, she is in good spirits and may be very happy.
This time, when Xu came back, he saw that his home had changed, his mother was fine and the house had been repaired. Xu was very grateful to the villagers for their care, so he personally took out 50 yuan money, bought a big fat pig, and then asked the chef to make a banquet for the villagers.
It's a pity that Xu left without staying for a long time like last time, but Xu didn't expect that this time's departure was a farewell to his mother.
1959, Xu returned to his hometown for the third time. Unfortunately, at this time, his mother has passed away, and Xu is very sorry. Back home this time, Xu came to his mother's grave, unable to kneel down and choked up:
After that, Xu got up and personally added stones and dirt to his mother's grave. He was busy for several hours. After the tomb was built, Xu reluctantly left.
The fourth time Xu came home, it was already 1983.
At this time, Xu was in poor health and missed his hometown very much, so he asked for leave from the Central Military Commission and applied to the Nanjing Military Region for 43 jeeps to return home together.
Why do you want to apply for 43 Jeep?
Originally, there were 43 generals in Xinxian County. Although some of them have passed away, Xu hopes that these 43 jeeps can represent the 43 generals in Xinxian County and return to Dabie Mountain to visit the villagers.
Unfortunately, the weather is bad. When Xu was ready to leave, it suddenly rained heavily, and Xu had planned to wait before leaving. But I didn't expect the rainstorm to last for 10 days, so Xu had to give up his plan to return to China.
Therefore, Xu has only been back to his hometown three times, and he didn't make it for the fourth time.
Speaking of drinking, Xu can be described as a massive sentence.
To this, Xu Youshi once said:
It sounds like bragging, but it's true. According to statistics, if the wine drunk by Xu Yisheng is to be loaded in a Jiefang truck, it must be loaded in at least four cars. However, Xu's capacity for liquor is moderate, and he once set himself three iron rules:
Xu also has many stories about drinking wine.
1948, the battle of Jinan started, and Xu was ordered by Chairman Mao to come to Jinan as the commander-in-chief and deputy commander of the siege corps.
Xu He used to be a pair of good comrades-in-arms, but because of some things, they quarreled. The cooperation in the battle of Jinan is considered to meet again after many years.
In order to fight this battle well, Xu took the initiative to find a way out and came with two bottles of sorghum. Still at a loss, Xu lifted the bottle and said:
Say and Xu drank a bottle of wine.
Moved by Xu's sincerity, he drank all the wine in the bottle at one breath. The two men also managed to make up. Later, the battle of Jinan started, and the two men, Qi Xin, joined forces to direct the operation. After only eight days, they won the king and won a great victory.
Since Jiaodong, I have been following Xu, so I can be regarded as Xu's wine companion. Every time two people meet and chat, they will definitely have a good meal. When he is unconscious, Xu will send a car to take him home. After several times, Zhao Pan couldn't stand it.
Therefore, Zhao Pan's friends advised him that if he can't drink, he shouldn't stick to it. He didn't drink much, so why did he drink so much?
Zhao Pan is not stupid. Of course, he didn't want to drink so much, but he just couldn't refuse Commander Xu's invitation. His friend didn't understand, so he asked the commander Xu how to induce vomiting. Actually so powerful?
Zhao Pan replied with a smile:
No one can stand such a set.
Hearing this, Zhao Pan and his friends laughed. This commander Xu is really good at drinking.
1September 9, 976, the great people's leader Chairman Mao passed away.
On this day, Xu is working in Guangzhou. When he learned the news of Chairman Mao's death, he burst into tears on the spot. The Central Military Commission also immediately called Xu back to Beijing. Xu Youshi quickly arranged his work, then took a pistol and flew to Baiyun Airport.
On the way, Xu met Wei Guoqing, so they went to Baiyun Airport together and prepared to go to Beijing to mourn Chairman Mao. The two old generals sat down after entering the engine room and waited for the plane to take off.
But after a long time, the plane still didn't take off, so Xu asked the secretary to hurry it for the first time. The answer was that the weather was bad and he had to wait.
After a long time, the plane still didn't take off, so Xu sent a secretary to urge it for the second time. The answer this time is that the weather is bad and we have to wait.
After a long time, Xu couldn't bear it any longer and personally ran to urge the captain to take off. At that time, the captain told the truth:
Xu flew into a rage and immediately let the captain take off. The captain dared not disobey Xu's orders and had to leave for Beijing.
Soon, the plane landed at Nanyuan Airport and was arranged to wait at Jingxi Hotel after getting off the plane.
Chairman Mao's mourning hall has been set up, and Xu is ready to pay a visit. When he walked to the door, he was stopped by the guard. Xu was not allowed to bring a gun in, but no one dared to really stop Xu. Finally, Xu became the only person with a gun in the mourning hall.
And the reason for carrying a gun is also very simple. He will guard Chairman Mao's mourning hall as usual and be the last person to stand guard.
Since Chairman Mao's death, Xu's health has started to get sick from time to time.
On the eve of 1985 Spring Festival, Xu suddenly felt abdominal distension and pain. After examination, the doctor found that he had cirrhosis and even showed signs of liver cancer. After another examination by the doctor, he found that Xu did have liver cancer.
The pain caused by liver cancer is unbearable for this battle-hardened expert. The pain made Xu toss and turn, and even made Xu hit his head against the wall.
Faced with this situation, doctors have taken extremely strict treatment measures. However, Xu's condition is hopeless. Although the doctors worked hard, they still failed to save the old general's life.
198510/afternoon of October 22nd 16: 57 Xu closed his eyes in the eighth ward of Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Region and left everyone forever.
Many people will find it strange that the medical conditions in Beijing are definitely better than those in Nanjing. Why didn't Xu go to Beijing for medical treatment?
As it turns out, there is only one reason:
That's why Xu is afraid of being cremated in Beijing.
As early as 1959, when Xu returned to his hometown for the third time, his mother's death left a great regret for Xu, so Xu swore on the spot that since he could not serve his mother well before his death, he would keep a grave for his mother and serve her well after his death.
Because of this, Xu had the idea of burial. Later, on his deathbed, Xu asked his secretary to write a letter to the Central Committee, hoping that the Central Committee would approve him to be buried next to his mother as a sign of filial piety.
Although it did not meet the requirements, the central government was very grateful to Xu for his filial piety, and finally approved Xu's application and realized Xu's long-cherished wish.
Finally, Xu's tomb was placed next to his mother's tomb, fulfilling Xu's last wish.
More and more people are moved by Xu's filial piety, so many people come to visit Xu's tomb. A year later, the central government ordered Xu to rebuild the mausoleum and erected a tall granite tombstone for Xu.
On the stone tablet, the famous painter Fan Ceng personally wrote seven characters:
Comrade Xu's tomb.
I think if General Xu knows this spring from the bottom of his heart, he will be relieved!
