Great and famous generals, multi-temperamental and brave, extraordinary temperament, words and deeds are different from ordinary people. They have left countless popular anecdotes and stories that are admirable and admirable.
In the modern and modern history of our country, there is such a brave warrior. Although he rose up as a warlord, he loved the country and the people, hated the civil war, first carried the banner of resistance, was hated by the dark authorities, and finally bravely became righteous. This person is the famous anti-Japanese general Ji Hongchang.
Ji Hongchang, born in 1895, a native of Fugou County, Henan Province, has been known as a hero since ancient times, Ji Hongchang has great ambitions since childhood, and his father has taught him many life principles in the simple language of farmers.
The young Ji Hongchang defected to Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army, and was quickly promoted for his bravery and good fighting, but he never tainted the warlord habits. Ji Hongchang specially distributed an enamel teapot to all officers and soldiers, on which were printed seven big characters of Ji Hongchang's handwriting:
"If you are an official, you are not allowed to get rich."
That's exactly what his old father told him when he left home. He used this to warn himself and his subordinates all the time. Therefore, Ji Hongchang's troops had strict military discipline and strong combat effectiveness, and were known as the "Iron Army."
But after all, due to the limitations of their own historical attributes, Ji Hongchang's troops, like Feng Yuxiang's troops, could not get rid of the old warlords in the end, so they and Jiang Finally broke out a hugely influential Central Plains War. Jiang Had external support, he eventually defeated Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army and achieved nominal "unification" in the northern region, and Jiang also nominally became the leader of the whole country.
Ji Hongchang had to accept Jiang's adaptation and become a member of the Nationalist order. However, Ji Hongchang always hated this incompetent and greedy only husband, and Jiang Ren also plotted to depose dissident generals such as Ji Hongchang all the time, so the conflict between the two sides has been continuous.
Ji Hongchang once wrote a poem expressing his contempt and hatred for Jiang:
“
Thirsty for the blood of the age, hungry for food and stones. Return to the day of retribution, restore my divine state.
”
I don't know if Jiang Hongchang knew about Ji Hongchang's poem that scolded him, but he was not polite to Ji Hongchang and ordered Ji Hongchang to "go abroad to investigate", which is actually a kind of "exile" with the characteristics of the Republic of China.
When Ji Hongchang arrived in the United States, he felt how sad China's position in the world was. Even if the rich and powerful Chinese, even if they go to the United States to eat at restaurants, shop in stores, and send letters to the post office, they will be treated with blank eyes and slow treatment, while the Japanese, who are also yellow, are treated with courtesy everywhere.
However, because Ji Hongchang's appearance and temperament are very powerful and fierce, Americans often mistakenly think that he is a Japanese soldier who believes in "Bushido" and greets him with Japanese etiquette or Japanese greetings.
Ji Hongchang's entourage privately advised Ji Hongchang to make a mistake: since the Americans mistakenly thought he was Japanese, they would pretend to be Japanese. Ji Hongchang was very angry when he heard this, and refuted the person who said this: "So you think it is shameful to be a Chinese?" Chinese everyone is upright, who dares to look down on it? If you want people to look up to it, you must first fight for yourself! ”
Since then, Ji Hongchang has made a large badge, which reads "I am a Chinese" in eye-catching English, and carries it with his head held high everywhere every day, this silent declaration has won countless admiring eyes, and some sincere and frank American gentlemen will take the initiative to shake hands with him.
After the 1931 "918" incident, Ji Hongchang could no longer travel peacefully in foreign countries. He immediately returned to China and threw himself into the War of Resistance, but the Chiang authorities did not allow it. He returned to the Northwest Army, gathered the old troops and like-minded Chinese, and organized the "Chahar Anti-Japanese Allied Army" to compete with the Japanese army with real guns and bullets. Several times defeated the invincible Japanese army and the Manchu and Mongolian traitorous puppet army gathered by the Japanese and Kou, and recaptured Toulon, which greatly inspired the will of the Chinese people to resist Japan.
Ji Hongchang had long had a good feeling for the Red Army, and later, under the struggle of the underground party, Ji Hongchang secretly joined the party, but he was also smelled by the Jiang authorities, who had many eyes and ears, which further aggravated the jealousy of the Jiang authorities for Ji Hongchang. At that time, when Zhengyi was fighting against the "encirclement and suppression" for the fifth time, the Chiang kai-shek authorities, in addition to intensifying the "encirclement and suppression" of the Jiangxi Soviet region, were also indifferent to other dissidents in the country.
Chiang's agents later plotted to injure Ji Hongchang in Tianjin, arrest him by the lend-lease police, and then extradited to Beiping.
The Chiang authorities, who had long wanted to get rid of Ji Hongchang, quickly sentenced Ji Hongchang to death on charges of conspiring with bandits and conspiring against him.
On November 24, 1934, the dark authorities executed Ji Hongchang, and Ji Hongchang once again showed great righteousness and heroism at the last moment of his life. Like the ancients who wrote the poems of his death on his deathbed, he wrote:
Hate not to resist japan and die, leave it as a shame today. The country is still broken, why should I pity this head!
In the old days, executions had to be carried out on their knees, so how could Ji Hongchang be humiliated by this? He said proudly:
"I died for the anti-Japanese resistance, for the truth, not a criminal, I want to sit upright and watch Jiang's bullets, how to kill me!"
The enemy had to move a Taishi chair, and Ji Hongchang sat down in a majestic manner, just like the commander-in-chief ascending to the altar for a military parade! The solemn momentum of Wei An actually made the soldiers of the firing squad feel frightened, how could they have ever seen such a domineering and heroic "prisoner"!
Like Yue Fei, a national hero who has no way to serve the country, Ji Hongchang's life is fixed at the age of 39!
Just as the so-called "Humen no dog", Ji Hongchang's nephew Ji Xingwen is also a patriotic anti-Japanese famous general. It was this General Ji Xingwen who led his troops to fire the first shot of the all-out War of Resistance at Lugou Bridge three years later! Someone inherited the will, and General Ji Hongchang died without regret.
