Zhao Erfeng
Fu Huafeng
Cover news reporter Huang Yong
In the early morning of December 22, 1911, Yin Changheng, a 27-year-old officer who had only been the governor of the "Sichuan Military Government of the Great Han Dynasty" for a few days, mobilized more than 2,000 people to surround the governor's office, captured Zhao Erfeng, the governor of Sichuan, who had been dismissed, and held a public trial meeting at The Imperial City Dam in Chengdu to try Zhao Erfeng, and then ordered his subordinates to behead him under the Mingyuan Building in the imperial city.
At this time, a border guard army still loyal to the Qing Dynasty was rushing from the arrow furnace (present-day Kangding, Sichuan) to Chengdu, intending to rescue Zhao Erfeng.
The leader of this unit was Fu Huafeng, who was then the minister of border affairs in Sichuan and Yunnan. Fu Huafeng, who is also? Why did he rescue Zhao Erfeng? What kind of friendship does he have with Zhao Erfeng?
Organize a group to practice fighting bandits and ensure a safe situation
Fu Huafeng (1869-1929), a native of the pot factory village of Huojia Town, Gulin County, Sichuan Province, whose real name was Chuanshan, a Song Feng, the character Huafeng, was born in characters.
In the 21st year of Guangxu (1895), the 26-year-old Fu Huafeng passed the examination and became a Xiucai.
At that time, it was the end of the Qing Dynasty, and bandits rose up at the same time, harming the township and causing the people to suffer. Fu Huafeng resolutely dropped his books, abandoned literature and martial arts, organized regimental training, recruited Ding Yong, and defended the border and the people.
Soon, Fu Huafeng formed a regimental training team and became the regimental commander. He led the team to take the initiative to attack the bandits, so that the social security in Gulin was greatly improved, and the people could live and work in peace and contentment.
The bandit leader Xu San, who had an in-law relationship with Fu Huafeng, was captured by Fu Huafeng. Fu Huafeng did not turn a blind eye to him, but was sentenced to death according to the law.
On the one hand, Fu Huafeng cracked down on bandits and on the other hand, he appeased the people. When the people had any contradictions, he actively mediated disputes and settled disputes. He also advocated for the gentry to repair bridges and roads, renovate streets, and reduce traffic.
Although the leader may be a little upset, the common people are very supportive of him, so that he has a very solid mass foundation.
And it was this solid mass base that later saved his life.
In the 23rd year of Guangxu (1897), cen Chunxuan, the governor of Sichuan, sent the garrison Huang Guozhen to Inspect Gulin. Garrison was a military attaché of the Qing Dynasty, who managed the general affairs of the army, military salaries, and military food affairs, and the official rank was Zheng Wupin, and was under the jurisdiction of the governor, inspector, or chief soldier.
Because Fu Huafeng fought against the bandits with great intensity, he attracted the hatred of the bandits. The bandit leaders Tang Shun'an and Lei Shaotang found Huang Guozhen, paid him bribes, and falsely accused Fu Huafeng of "being a bandit in the open and secret, corrupt and perverting the law."
Huang Guozhen listened to the bandits' family and lured Fu Huafeng to the pavilion and detained him.
When the people heard about it, they immediately gathered their men, angrily fought with the officers and soldiers, rescued Fu Huafeng, and tied Huang Guozhen with a rope, escorted him to the Inspection Department, and then deported him to the Xuyong Military Grain House to accuse Huang Guozhen of framing.
In the face of the facts, Cen Chunxuan had no choice but to order that Huang Guozhen be escorted to Zizhou (zizhou, in present-day Zizhong County, Sichuan) for custody and awaiting trial.
Cen Chunxuan was also very knowledgeable about current affairs and did not hold Gu Lin responsible for "rebellion" of the people. Fu Huafeng's prestige is thus more well-known.
Appreciated by Zhao Erfeng, as a large in the Kham region
In the 30th year of Guangxu (1903), Zhao Erfeng, a Taoist of Yongning Province, led an army to Gulin County to "attack" Miaogou. Local regiments trained to assist the officers and soldiers, fighting and killing hundreds of people.
During this period, Fu Huafeng gave advice to Zhao Erfeng, which was deeply appreciated by Zhao Erfeng, and the two established a deep friendship.
The following year, Zhao Erfeng was reappointed as a Daoist in Jianchang, went to Batang to handle affairs, and asked Fu Huafeng to be a staff member and appointed as a deputy.
In the first year of Xuan reunification (1909), the Sichuan-Tibet border troubles subsided, and Fu Huafeng was reappointed to the title of prefect Sanpin because of his meritorious service in the conquest.
The following year, the Sanyan clan plundered and obstructed the communication on the Sichuan-Tibet border, and Fu Huafeng was ordered to lead his troops to suppress and capture Sanyan, capturing more than 1,000 prisoners.
Fu Huafeng strictly enforced military discipline, ordered the officers and soldiers not to rob property and tortured and killed the women and children who remained in the village, sent a messenger (translator) into the mountains, and informed the policy of appeasement, and the chiefs and consorts surrendered one after another, and the border troubles were once again quelled.
Fu Huafeng was promoted to the rank of Daoist for his meritorious service and was rewarded with a second rank.
In the 3rd year of Xuan reunification (1911), after Zhao Erfeng was transferred to the governor of Sichuan, Fu Huafeng was appointed as the acting minister of border affairs of Sichuan and Yunnan.
He accelerated the pace of land reform and return to the stream in the Kham region, confiscated the toast seals from various places, changed him to a rogue official, set up a committee member, abolished the hereditary system of toast, and promoted the local economic development.
At the same time, Fu Huafeng went to the imperial court to establish The Province of Western Kang.
He led his troops to Zhao Erfeng's aid and was defeated at Ya'an
Zhao Erfeng was in Chengdu, because of the suppression of the Road Protection Movement, there was a bloody case in Chengdu that shocked China and foreign countries, and he was ordered by the Qing court to be dismissed from his post and remained as the minister of border affairs.
As the crisis approached step by step, Zhao Erfeng's fate was also facing a test. Zhao Erfeng's situation affected Fu Huafeng, who was far away in the furnace of arrows.
As for why Fu Huafeng led an army to rescue Zhao Erfeng, the current common saying is that Zhao Erfeng secretly sent a telegram to Fu Huafeng, asking Fu Huafeng to quickly lead troops to aid Chengdu.
However, another possibility was not ruled out: with the relationship between Fu Huafeng and Zhao Erfeng, after hearing about Zhao Erfeng's situation, he sensed that Zhao Erfeng might be hurt, and took the initiative to lead troops to Chengdu to rescue Zhao Erfeng.
After all, the arrow furnace was a little far from Chengdu, and after Fu Huafeng led his troops to Yazhou (present-day Ya'an City, Sichuan), Zhao Erfeng had already been killed, and the control of the "Great Han Sichuan Military Government" was increasing and spreading to Yazhou.
On January 9, 1912, the Sichuan Nationalist Army besieged Fu Huafeng's border guards, which were defeated and Fu Huafeng was captured.
Fu Huafeng was escorted to Chengdu, and the military government advised him to surrender, but Fu Huafeng resolutely refused to comply, and the military government had to imprison him.
During his imprisonment, Fu Huafeng wrote a book entitled "Records of the Construction of Xikang Province", which recorded the process of land reform and return to the stream in various parts of the Kang District at the end of the Qing Dynasty, involving politics, economy, military, culture, religion, folk customs, etc., and the historical facts were more detailed.
The junta finally considered that Fu Huafeng was a rare talent, and no longer embarrassed him, released him.
After that, Fu Huafeng presented himself as a qing dynasty widow. He once went to Beijing to visit Zhao Erfeng's relatives, which is enough to prove his friendship with Zhao Erfeng. Perhaps, he had always blamed himself for not being able to rescue Zhao Erfeng.
Fu Huafeng is a person who is not willing to be lonely, even if he no longer has ideas in his career, he still wants to benefit the villagers, and he has run a bowl factory, oil house and other industries.
In 1929, Fu Huafeng died of illness at the age of 61.
