In the rolling river of history, one history after another is written, and learning history can make you wise and make you smarter.
In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, China's national strength declined, Western powers continued to invade, the Qing Dynasty cut off land and paid reparations, and ancient China was constantly bullied. At the same time, the rise of local warlord forces, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, was even more caught in warlord melee, and the people were not happy. And most of the warlords have been punished as they deserve because of their many evil deeds, and they have been reviled by future generations, and even left a stink for thousands of years. However, the following warlord did two great things for China, became a national hero, and after his death, he was buried in Babaoshan and became the only warlord buried in Babaoshan.
This is the famous Yunnan Wang Longyun who is famous in later generations. Long Yun was born in Yunnan in 1884 and is a member of the Yi ethnic minority. The family conditions were particularly harsh, and my father died so early that he could not afford to study. However, Long Yun liked to practice martial arts since he was a child, and by relying on his strong will, he trained a martial art at a young age and made a reputation in the jianghu after becoming an adult. At that time, together with Lu Han and Zou Ruoheng, he was known as the "Three Musketeers of Shaotong", and his reputation was very good.
Later, forced to make a living, Long Yun joined the army, and because of his bravery and extraordinary skills, he was soon sent to the Army Lecture Hall, the highest military school in Yunnan at that time, as an excellent soldier, and thus began the beginning of his life. Speaking of the origin of Long Yun, there is also a legend. At that time, tang jiyao, the chairman of Yunnan Province, was the principal of the Yunnan Army's Daowutang, and in order to make the officers of the Daowutang better study, he spent a lot of money to hire an instructor with high martial arts from France.
But the French instructor, who was very arrogant, looked down on Chinese. On the first day of coming to Yunnan, I set up a ring at the school to show my prestige with these officers and students. Tang Jiyao had to agree, and after a few fights, several officers who came to the battle were crippled, and the Frenchman was even more arrogant, a bit to play the brand of the sick man of East Asia. At this time, someone recommended Long Yun to Tang Jiyao, saying that he was strong in martial arts, so Long Yun went up to the ring, and in a few rounds, he knocked the French instructor off the stage, and for a while Long Yun became the hero of the school.
More importantly, Tang Jiyao, the chairman of the province, felt that Long Yun deserved a great responsibility and was strong in martial arts, so he adopted him as a confidant, and Long Yun has since soared. In 1927, long Yun, who held power, staged a coup d'état, ousted Tang Jiyao from power, and made himself chairman of Yunnan Province, which he ruled for 18 years until 1945. After Long Yun came to power, he worked hard to develop Yunnan, and he was keen on the construction of Yunnan, which was loved by the people of Yunnan.
Moreover, two things he did during the War of Resistance Against Japan made him a national hero: First, 200,000 people resisted Japan. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Long Yun constantly made anti-Japanese remarks, saying that he would not be afraid of sacrifice and fight to the end. Moreover, more than 200,000 elite divisions from Yunnan were mobilized to the north to resist japan, contributing a lot of money and grain to the anti-Japanese resistance. The Dian Army fought bravely and made great contributions to the entire War of Resistance.
Second, the Burma Highway. The Yunnan Burma Highway stretches for more than 1,000 kilometers, crossing the lofty mountains and mountains, and building on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau of the Nine-Curved Ileum. At that time, this road became an important channel for China to open up the Burma battlefield, as well as to transport strategic materials and receive Allied assistance. In order to build this lifeline, Long Yun organized more than 200,000 people, rushed to work day and night, personally supervised the work, and completed it in less than 8 months, which is a world miracle, and even the Allies said that this was incredible. He made an indelible contribution to China's protracted War of Resistance, and Long Yun also became a national hero by virtue of this, and was buried in the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery after his death in 1962, becoming the only warlord to enjoy this honor.
