The old city of Taihu County, Anhui Province, also known as Jinxi Ancient City, is bordered by the Yangtze River in the east, Longshan Mountain in the north, moat in the south, and malu estuary in the west, with a total area of 8.01 square kilometers. This ancient land has been full of traffic and has also experienced vicissitudes. During the agrarian revolutionary war, the Red 15th Army and the Red 25th Army liberated Taihu County twice on November 16, 1930 and September 4, 1934, respectively, sowing the seeds of revolution here.
Part I: The Red Army liberated taihu county twice
Look for the red mark and show the great changes in your hometown. Today, we come to the fourth stop - Taihu Old Town.
Stepping on this red hot land, the thoughts return to the Beacon Era, the firm faith shouted by the older generation of revolutionaries seems to echo in the ears, and the heroic spirit of the intestines is still stirring people's hearts through a hundred years of time and space.
On November 15, 1930, Cai Shenxi, commander of the Red 15th Army, and Chen Qi, political commissar, led more than 2,000 Red Army troops from Susong to Taihu County, and conquered Taihu County at dawn on the 16th. After capturing the county seat of Taihu, the Red 15th Army was given a short rest and left Taihu In the early morning of November 18.
On September 3, 1934, the Red Twenty-fifth Army, which was scheduled to conquer yingshan county, decided to attack the county town of Taihu County, where the defense was relatively weak.
At 5 p.m. on the same day, military commander Xu Haidong, political commissar Wu Huanxian, and political department director Guo Shushen led their troops to march from Yingshan overnight. At dawn on the 4th, it arrived in the northwest mountainous area of Taihu County. During the day, the troops hid in the nearby woods, and after the sunset, they continued to march rapidly in the direction of the county seat, and captured the county seat of Taihu Lake that night. The Red Army fought bravely, with only 4 casualties, more than 800 Kuomintang garrisons captured, more than 1,000 guns and tens of thousands of bullets.
Jiao Min, director of the office of the county party history and local history research office: "In this battle, the Red Army received abundant supplies, confiscated more than 10 large businesses of cloth, grain, clothing, salt, medicine, etc., and each of the whole army was given an umbrella. The warriors said happily, 'An umbrella is a room!' ’”
Xu Haidong's daughter Xu Wenhui, in the article "Searching for the Footprints of Her Father Xu Haidong", recounted the rich material supplies obtained by the Red Twenty-fifth Army after it attacked the county town of Taihu, and mentioned the story of Mao Zedong borrowing money from Xu Haidong. She wrote in the article: "The money of her father's army began with the fight against the county town of Taihu in Anhui.
After the troops took the county seat of Taihu County, they made clothes for the soldiers with the captured black cloth of the vigilante group. From that time on, everyone in my father's army had three bags: bullet bags, silver dollar bags, and rice bags...
In the winter of 1935, when the Central Red Army first arrived in northern Shaanxi, the soldiers' clothes were thin and worn, and they could not afford to buy new clothes. Mao Zedong said they couldn't afford to pay five cents for food. At this time, my father was planning to buy winter clothes for the troops and store grain. One evening, a visitor came to visit, and my father recognized this person as Yang Zhicheng, director of the Logistics Department of the Central Red Army. He took out a note and handed it to his father.
This is an IOU written to him by Mao Zedong...
After Xu Haidong learned that his troops still had 7,000 yuan, he immediately handed over 5,000 yuan of it to the central authorities, solving the urgent needs of the central Red Army.
After the liberation of Taihu County, one soldier also compiled a song "Red Army Marching Forward" to express the pride of victory. It can be said that the victory of the Red Twenty-fifth Army in its long-range attack on Taihu County shocked the enemy, inspired the masses, and inspired the morale of the army. Jiao Min, director of the office of the county party history and local history research office, said.
On the morning of September 6, 1934, the masses of Nanyuan, Wuyou, Basho, Fork Road, Huilong and other people who were 10 kilometers around the area beat gongs and drums and gathered at the county stadium to hold a military and civilian party of 4,000 to 5,000 people. On September 7, the Red Army withdrew from The North of Taihu Lake after being sent off by the urban and rural masses. In just a few days, the Red Twenty-fifth Army not only restored the Taojiahe base area, but also obtained a large number of material supplies, laying a rich material foundation for the future Long March north.
Next: Continue the Red Spirit and write a new chapter of development
The years are vivid and full of emotions. The revolutionary spirit, which is inherited and inherited, urges people to forge ahead. The wheels of history are rolling forward, and the tide of the times is mighty. The old city of Taihu Lake, this ancient land, once interpreted the hustle and bustle of traffic. After a stormy ups and downs, it is now waiting to be revitalized.
The old town is composed of Dongguan Community, Xiguan Community and Nanyuan Village in Jinxi Town, with 6 resident groups under the jurisdiction of the Dongguan Community, 10 resident groups under the Jurisdiction of the Xiguan Community, and 13 villager groups under the jurisdiction of Nanyuan Village, with a total population of more than 20,000 people.
Strolling through the old streets of Jinxi, which was built in the Southern and Northern Dynasties period, the smooth stone road is polished by time, highlighting the texture of vicissitudes. The high horse head wall, the mottled wooden door panels, and the simple green brick tiles all embody the memory of history. At the end of the old street, there are more than 100 meters of streets showing a new atmosphere, the same architectural style, the same antique, but it looks bright, spacious and more stylish.
This is the result of the protective restoration project of Jinxi Old Street. The project takes the concept of "repairing the old as the old" and preserving the historical style, adheres to the concept of "retaining the memory of the city", repairs the dilapidated houses, improves the infrastructure of the old street such as drainage and sewage, lines, street lights, fire protection, etc., pays attention to the protection of history and culture, and strives to create a characteristic old street that is livable and suitable for travel and business.
Zhuo Xuchun, deputy secretary of the Jinxi Town Community Working Committee, said: "The county party committee and government attach great importance to the development of the old city, such as the transformation of Xizheng Street, the county has invested nearly 10 million yuan to transform Xizheng Street, Xizheng Street is a historical relics protection unit, through this transformation, the living environment of residents has been greatly improved, bringing a lot of convenience to the production and life of the people." The project is currently implemented by 57 households, and the main project is basically completed. In the next step, some projects for the transformation of the old city are being planned, and I believe that the development of the old city will be even better. ”
It is reported that in recent years, the county party committee and county government have further strengthened the protection, construction and development of the old city, so that the living environment of the old city has been improved to a certain extent. Our county has compiled the "Taihu County Jinxi Ancient Town Protection Plan" and the "Taihu County Jinxi Ancient Town (th-01) Unit Control Detailed Plan", which makes overall arrangements and spatial layout for the residential, commercial, public management and service facilities, municipal facilities and other land in the old city.
On this basis, the old city has actively promoted the transformation of shantytowns, the collection and storage of land for enterprise restructuring, the development of land for enterprise restructuring, the construction of some new residential quarters and commercial streets, the opening of the road from Jinxi Street to the old 105 National Highway, the strict planning of the backline through the construction of commercial houses on the street to make the streets spacious, and the construction of municipal supporting facilities such as drainage ditches and sidewalks. At the same time, the management of urban areas has been further strengthened, the illegal construction of sheds on 7 main and secondary roads in the old city has been demolished, temporary evacuation points for vegetable farmers and vendors have been set up, the business behavior of out-of-store operations has been standardized, the cleaning of urban appearance has been increased, and the order of urban appearance in the old city has been improved.
The old city is rich in cultural relics resources, with 29 immovable cultural relics points. Our county has completed the repair of the main building of the Wang Clan Ancestral Hall and the ancestral hall gate tower, and the protection and repair of the old site of the Red 15th Army Headquarters, the old site of the Red 25th Army Headquarters, and the old site of the Red 15th Army Wartime Hospital.
Wang Congwen, president of Jinxi Town Health Center, said: "On the one hand, the restoration of the two buildings has well protected the cultural relics, on the other hand, our hospital has made full use of these two buildings to broaden the scope of services and better provide medical services for the people." ”
"Inheriting the red gene, I think we must firmly believe in the advanced nature of the party and strengthen the belief in communism without wavering." Second, we must inherit the people's nature of the party, the party is the people's party, that is, to serve the people wholeheartedly. Third, we must practice the revolutionary nature of the party and implement the love for the party and the country in concrete actions. As party members and cadres, they should regard the development and prosperity of the localities and the prosperity and happiness of the people as the heavy responsibilities they should shoulder. Luo Jinjun, secretary and director of the Jinxi Town Community Working Committee, said.
We look forward to the vitality of an old city that reflects the historical context and the new wind of the times, the collision of traditional culture and modern civilization, and the perfect integration of antique and artistic atmosphere, and blooms with unique charm.
