" Ye Zhengda is still vaguely aware. I remember that one time my father was furious and criticized his nephew Ye Qin for working in the Kuomintang. He thought that even going home to farm would be cleaner than going to the Kuomintang.

2. Comparing revolution to mountain climbing

On September 28, 1937, Chiang Kai-shek appointed Ye Ting as commander of the New Fourth Army because he could not allow communists to be commanders. , and Ye Ting has been away from the Communist Party for ten years, he thinks he might listen to him.

On November 3, Ye Ting arrived in Yan'an. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to agree to Ye Ting as commander of the New Fourth Army. On the 8th, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a meeting to welcome Ye Ting.

Ye Ting said: "Revolution is like climbing a mountain. Many comrades are not afraid of high mountains or dangerous roads and keep walking up. At one point, I climbed halfway up the mountain and turned back, and now I am following up. In the future, I will definitely Follow the path instructed by the party, and under the leadership of the party and Chairman Mao Zedong, fight to the end."

On the 13th, Ye Ting returned to Wuhan and spoke to the reporter of "Ta Kung Pao" as the commander of the New Fourth Army. Said: "We are oppressed by Japanese imperialism and have become intolerable. This time we are resisting out of necessity. We have only one word, that is, fight."

If you are told to go back, you will go back. If you are told, you will be beaten. After they have used you, they will kill you." Chiang Kai-shek used several "people's words" in succession. ”, referring to the “Communist Party”.

Ye Ting's answer was to avoid his provocation and find another way. In turn, he used specific facts to expose Chiang Kai-shek's conspiracy to deliberately create the "Southern Anhui Incident": You, Chiang Kai-shek, designated the route and asked the New Fourth Army to go to the designated area.

The New Fourth Army had to fight the Japanese army on the way without replenishing weapons, ammunition and food. At the same time, it deployed a pocket and concentrated seven divisions to surround our headquarters. "At this time, I telegraphed my resignation, but it was not approved, so I had to flee with my troops."

Immediately afterwards, Ye Ting quoted the old saying "A small stick leads to suffering, a big stick leads to escape" and said: "We were not good at escaping and suffered destruction. It was because I was sorry for my subordinates. Now Shangrao still imprisons hundreds of cadres. I should be responsible for them. I mishandled the situation and I am willing to accept military justice."

Chiang Kai-shek Then he said: "I will show you a right path. If you obey me and follow me absolutely, you will definitely succeed, otherwise you will be finished." Ye Ting said calmly: "I have long decided that I am finished!"

Chiang Kai-shek immediately changed his tone and said, "That's not what I meant. I asked you to go to the Third War Zone to recuperate. Your future is bright."

Ye Ting refused to give in: "If this is the case, If you do it, everyone will say that I am selfish and afraid of legal punishment. I cannot do this."

Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to ask Guo Chan, the deputy commander of the Third Theater Zone, to continue to persuade him to surrender. They talked for an hour, and Ye Ting's reply was: "I can't do this, please shoot me!"
