146 years ago today, on March 28th, 1879 (March 6th, 1879 in the lunar calendar), Deng Yunting, who went from the "cottage king" to the commander of the Red Army, was born. Deng Yunting (1879.3.28-1931.4.22) was born in Chenxian County, Hunan Province. Born in a poor peasant family. In 1889, when he was 10 years old, he received the love of a local private school teacher and accepted his door to study for six years for free. He joined the Chinese League in 1897. Joined the Communist Party of China (CPC) in December 1927. During the early democratic revolution, he left his hometown in 1897 to find a teacher to practice martial arts. Later, he entered the Yunnan Army Lecture Hall and became friends with progressive students such as Zhu De. After graduation, he served as the chief of staff of the Guangdong Army. After the achievements of the Revolution of 1911 were stolen by Yuan Shikai, he angrily left the Guangdong army. On the way back to my hometown, I was suddenly stopped by a group of people in Jiufeng Mountain area on the border between Hunan and Guangdong. Because of his high martial arts skills, he was invited to join the mountain and elected as the leader of Jiufeng Second Village. Soon after going up the mountain, he gradually transformed this green forest team with his old democratic revolutionary thoughts, and crowned the team as the Independent Division of the Republic of China. Five years later, the village leader died of illness and was elected as the commander of the independent division of the Republic of China. He raised the banner of killing the rich and helping the poor to call on the masses, and quickly expanded the team to more than 5,000 people. In 1921, the Beijing government sent personnel to recruit them. When they accompanied them northward through Changsha, they were detained by warlords, and the team scattered to all parts of southern Hunan. During the Great Revolution, I returned to my hometown in the autumn of 1925 and stopped going out. In the spring of 1926, under the influence of local communists, he actively participated in the peasant movement. During the Agrarian Revolutionary War, at the end of 1927, when it was learned that Zhu De led the rest of the Nanchang Uprising to be stationed in northern Guangdong, he immediately went to contact him. After talking sincerely with Zhu De and Chen Yi in Lechang, he accepted the important task of immediately returning to Chenzhou to step up the formation of the Red Guard Armed Forces and preparing to launch riots among workers and peasants. In February 1928, he led the Chenxian Peasant Army to cooperate with Zhu De and Chen Yi to lead the southern Hunan uprising troops to conquer Chenzhou City, and was appointed as the commander of the 7th Division of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army. During the southern Hunan Uprising, he led his troops to participate in many outstanding battles and made contributions to the establishment of the red regime in southern Hunan. At the end of April, after leading his troops to Jinggangshan with Zhu De and Chen Yi, he was appointed as the deputy commander of the 11th Division of the 4th Army of the Workers and Peasants Revolutionary Army and the head of the 32nd Regiment. Soon after the troops were downsized, they were ordered to stay in Jinggangshan to engage in local work. In May, they were elected as a member of the Hunan-Jiangxi Border Special Committee of the Communist Party of China. Since then, under the leadership of Mao Zedong, secretary of the special committee, he has often gone deep into Ninggang, Suichuan, Lianhua and other counties to carry out party building and army building. He once served as the party representative of the workers' and peasants' government in Dajing Township, and built this township into a model township of revolutionary regime, which was praised many times by Mao Zedong and Zhu De. During several anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaigns in the Central Soviet Area, the masses in the Soviet Area were actively organized to raise grain, oil, clothing, medicines and other materials for the Red Army, and a lot of work was done. On April 22, 1931, he was mistakenly killed at the age of 52 during the purge and expansion movement in the Soviet area. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was posthumously recognized as a revolutionary martyr.
