I believe that many people know Yang Jingyu, because he is a person who has made important contributions to the country. He was an important leader and rebuilder of the northeast, and in this part of the northeast, he beat the Japanese to the point of crying, so he became the most important banner in the northeast.
Many people think that he should be a Shandong person, but this is not the case, because he is a Henan native. And his real name is not Yang Jingyu, but Ma Shangde.
So why did he change his name, why would he lead a war in Shandong as a Henan man?
1. Birth
Born in 1905 in a small mountain village in Henan, he joined the Qingyi Regiment in 1926 and accepted the organization's arrangement to return to his hometown to organize the peasant movement.
In 1927, he successfully led an uprising of 60,000 people in Zhenshan, beating the Beiyang warlords to death. And he was also seen by everyone because of this war.
It was also in this year that he cooperated with Chairman Mao's autumn harvest uprising, and also achieved perfect success, and also organized the political power organized by the Communist Party.
Later, according to the organization's arrangement, he changed the name of the rebel army to the name of the Chinese Red Army and became a commander-in-chief.
During this time, he was thinking about how to keep the Red regime alive, and he came up with a policy that was consistent with Chairman Mao's ideas. Therefore, this also laid the foundation for his future resistance to Japan.
Later, in the Kuomintang's counter-revolutionary plan, our Communist Party felt that it was necessary to let its troops have some capable and capable cadres, so every place recommended some people to shanghai for training.
He was the first cadre to go to Shanghai for training, and during that time, he also met Zhou Enlai. Because if you want him to go unnoticed by the Kuomintang, you need to change your name. You can change your name to Zhang Guanyi. Because his mother's surname was Zhang, and he also wanted to show his heartfelt feelings for the Communist Party, his name was Zhang Guanyi during that time.
2. Two options
After the training in Shanghai, Zhou Enlai felt that he was a rare talent. So I wanted him to have two choices, the first was to lead the workers' movement, and the second was to go to the Soviet Union to study and join the Red Army after returning home.
Zhang Guanyi feels that his current self must first improve his ability and study, in order to be able to better serve the country. So he chose the second one, to study in the Soviet Union, and Zhou Enlai supported his choice and let him go to Shandong to go through the formalities of going abroad.
However, he was also a person who could not stay idle, and after arriving in Shandong, he did not say that he was waiting for his own procedures to go abroad, but instead did things for others in Shandong.
So why is he considered a Shandong person, in fact, because when he was in the coal mine, he saw that most of the people were Shandong people. Moreover, the accent of Shandong is similar to that of Hebei, and in order to be able to get closer to everyone, he said that he is a Shandong native. And it is also affectionately known as Shandong Zhang.
But because of the war, his opportunity to study in the Soviet Union was also interrupted, and he did not feel sorry, but quickly obeyed the organizational arrangement.
