In the war years, for any soldier, the most worrying thing is the family living in the rear, especially those who have been married and have wives and children.
In 1935, there was a case of "the head of the regiment killing his wife" in China, which caused great condemnation in society at that time, and even attracted the attention of Soong Mei-ling and Chiang Kai-shek.
Before that, the regimental commander's relationship with his wife was very sweet and harmonious, why did such a thing happen suddenly? This also begins with the story of the regimental commander.
In 1903, a peasant family in Dongda Village, Dongda Township, Chang'an County, Shaanxi Province, gave birth to a baby boy, this family is an authentic farmer, the man is called Zhang Hong'en, gave birth to a son, after he thought about it and wanted to name his son Zhang Lingfu, at that time this simple farmer must not have thought that this child would become a leader of an army in the future.
Zhang Lingfu was eager to learn since childhood, especially fond of ancient Chinese and calligraphy, and wrote well from an early age, and he was talented and diligent, and from an early age he was admitted to the First Normal School of Shaanxi Province, where he also met the famous calligrapher Yu Youren, the elder of the Kuomintang.
Yu Youren admired the young man's calligraphy, and the two later became friends, which shows the brilliance of Zhang Lingfu.
After graduating from Shaanxi Normal School, Zhang Lingfu was supposed to become a middle school teacher, but how could zhang Lingfu, a teenager, be willing to be just an ordinary teacher?
Soon after, Zhang Lingfu was successfully admitted to the history department of Peking University, and after being admitted to Peking University, Zhang Lingfu felt that Peking University was not good enough, he wanted a vigorous life, so a year later, Zhang Lingfu dropped out of Peking University and entered the Kuomintang army, following Hu Jingyi.
Yu Youren and Hu Jingyi were old friends, and once, Yu Youren went to Hu Jingyi's army to see Zhang Lingfu, and was very surprised, wondering why he would come to be a soldier, but since everyone was in the military camp, Yu Youren thought of simply promoting and promoting this Zhang Lingfu.
Therefore, Yu Youren personally wrote a letter and sent Zhang Lingfu to the Whampoa Military Academy, which was in full swing at that time.
After graduating from the Whampoa Military Academy, Zhang Lingfu was ordered to serve in Hu Zongnan's First Division, starting with a platoon leader.
Zhang Lingfu seems to be a natural soldier, in the army, he fought very hard, did not want to die, and made great achievements.
On the other hand, Zhang Lingfu can use his brain, read and practice words, collect antique calligraphy and paintings, and usually do not spend days and wine, which is quite a bit of a Confucian style.
Soon, the 30-year-old Zhang Lingfu was promoted to colonel of the First Division, becoming Hu Zongnan's confidant, Zhang Lingfu with a smooth career, and his feelings were also very happy.
At this time, Zhang Lingfu already had a wife, named Xing Fengying, which was an arranged marriage arranged by his parents, and Zhang Lingfu had no feelings for Xing Fengying, but Xing Fengying was very filial to Zhang Lingfu's parents.
Zhang Lingfu was wandering outside, Xing Fengying was at home to give Zhang Lingfu filial piety, although the marriage said that there was no feeling, but Zhang Lingfu never messed around outside.
Because he had been away for many years, someone introduced him to a girlfriend named Hu Hailan, who was later shot by him.
Zhang Lingfu was young and promising, the future was immeasurable, Wu Hailan was young and beautiful, the two were also fascinated at first sight, and soon a wedding was held, and after the marriage, the life of the two was sweet and sweet, and there was a lovely daughter, which made many officers envious.
But the good times did not last long, and it was not long before Zhang Lingfu was transferred from Sichuan to Shaanxi, and the husband and wife were separated from each other and suffered from longing.
In the winter of 1935, a colleague of Zhang Lingfu returned to his hometown, and after returning to the army, he told Zhang Lingfu that he saw his wife shopping with other men, and Zhang Lingfu thought about Wu Hailan day and night, and when he heard this, he felt that he had been greatly humiliated, so he told Hu Zongnan for leave and returned to his hometown.
After returning home, Wu Hailan saw that her husband was very happy, and Zhang Lingfu suppressed her inner emotions and told Wu Hailan that she wanted to eat dumplings.
Wu Hailan went to the vegetable field to cut leeks, and Zhang Lingfu looked at his wife's back and thought more and more angrily, so he directly shot her.
Another theory is that Wu Hailan was used by others because of his feelings and stole Zhang Lingfu's confidential documents, and Zhang Lingfu was extremely disappointed and would kill the killer.
Zhang Lingfu's wife murder case quickly spread throughout the country, and Yu Fengzhi also heard about it at that time, so he found Zhang Xueliang, who said that he was not easy to manage the affairs of the Central Army.
Therefore, Yu Fengzhi found Song Meiling again, and after Song Meiling knew, the two were determined to export evil gas to women, so they found Chiang Kai-shek.
Chiang Kai-shek then ordered the arrest of Zhang Lingfu, but Hu Zongnan was very sorry for Caicai and asked Zhang Lingfu to surrender himself, and later Zhang Lingfu was imprisoned, and was not released until after the start of the All-People War of Resistance.
Zhang Lingfu was also very brave and fierce in the anti-Japanese battlefield, and fought many victories, and even Ye Ting admired him.
In terms of emotional life, Zhang Lingfu later married two wives, and the last one to accompany him was Wang Yuling, who was 25 years younger than him.
Wang Yuling once asked him about his wife murder that year, and Zhang Lingfu seemed to mention something sad and didn't say anything.
Such a story, even in the Republic of China, can be regarded as a strange talk, what was the truth of that year? But it has become a mystery forever.
