"When you go out, you don't see anything, and the plains are covered with white bones."
Whenever China is mentioned in modern history, people can't help but express their sorrow, because a hundred years ago, we did suffer too much pain and oppression, and suffering became the background of the history of that period.
At that time, China was poor and weak, external troubles were wrapped in internal troubles, and the oppression of the great powers and the exploitation of the feudal forces made the people at the bottom cry bitterly, and after the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, this tragic fate did not end with it.
The appearance of democracy and republicanism did not last long, and soon the situation of warlords and warlords was divided and chaotic, and the lives of the people were once again plunged into darkness, and they did not know where the road ahead was.
Han Fuyu was born in such a chaotic world, and was included in the warlord's command by chance, and later gradually became the chairman of the Shandong provincial government and became a force.
But in the end, he became a ghost under the gun after Chiang Kai-shek's order, and after he was executed, what was the fate of the women and his children who had accompanied him?
Grass mustard origin
Han Fuyu's ancestral home is in Hubei, but his ancestors moved to Bazhou, Hebei Province, very early, so he also lived in the Bazhou area since childhood.
In modern times, many benevolent people with warm hearts have emerged in the Jingchu region, and the Yanzhao region has been generous and sad since ancient times, so Han Fuyu, who grew up under the fusion of these two cultures, also showed a bold personality from an early age.
Han Fuyu's family conditions were not very good, even poor, and he often did not have enough to eat when he was a child, so he left his hometown very early to seek a bright path for himself.
After Han Fuyu left his hometown, he went all the way north to Liaoyang outside Guanwai, just when the Beiyang government was recruiting troops here, Han Fuyu signed up for the army and officially became a soldier.
Although his family was poor from childhood, Han Fuyu still received some education and had some cultural heritage, and under the background of many comrades-in-arms around him who could not read a single character, his talent was particularly prominent, and he was soon noticed by the great warlord Feng Yuxiang, who appointed him as a Si Shusheng, and later promoted all the way, known as his right-hand man, and became the "Thirteenth Taibao" with Liu Ruming, Sun Lianzhong and others.
Han Fuyu was very lucky, he had a good relationship with Feng Yuxiang, was quite loved by this great warlord, and has always accompanied him, and has been born and died several times.
Han Fuyu can also be regarded as a talent of both literature and martial arts, and after winning Feng Yuxiang's appreciation by virtue of his culture, he stepped onto the peak of power step by step by virtue of his heroic performance on the battlefield.
He served as a brigade commander in the Nationalist Army, leading the death squad into Tianjin, and later as the commander of the 13th Division of the Jin Army when Feng Yuxiang retreated to Ningxia.
During the Great Revolution, Han Fuyu led his subordinates to resist Zhang Zongchang's invasion, inflicting heavy damage on the other side, and then marched all the way to defeat the Zhilu coalition army and rendezvous with the First Army at Xuzhou.
Stubborn character
After Han Fuyu made many military achievements and was appointed chairman of Henan Province, the contradiction between him and his old leader Feng Yuxiang began to appear, especially after Feng Yuxiang was dismissed from the position of division commander, Han Fuyu deeply felt that this patron was no longer as reliable as before, so he gradually developed the heart to turn to others.
In 1929, Han Fuyu and Shi Yousan, who was also the "Thirteenth Taibao", jointly sent a telegram, declaring that he was "maintaining peace and supporting the Central Committee", completely announcing the severance of the seat with Feng Yuxiang, and was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army.
Han Fuyu was soon dispatched from Henan to Shandong as the chairman of Shandong Province, thus beginning his eight-year reign in Ludi, which led to his time as the "King of Shandong".
During his reign in Shandong, Han Fuyu, like many Kuomintang reactionaries, carried out wanton arrests and massacres of Communists and innocent people, ruthlessly suppressed the armed activities of the peasants, and shrouded the Shandong region with a cloud of white terror, and the people privately cried bitterly.
The huge power made him gradually have other thoughts, and the relationship with Chiang Kai-shek gradually cracked, and the ostensible chairman of Shandong Province has actually become a new warlord who divides one side, and the whole of Shandong is in a semi-independent state.
Brutally executed
The real rupture in relations between Han Fuyu and Chiang Kai-shek came after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
After defecting to Chiang Kai-shek, he found that the promises made by the two men seemed to have become a blank piece of paper, and Chiang Kai-shek had no intention of fulfilling them, so Han Fuyu's trust in him was greatly reduced, and during his control of Shandong, he repeatedly attacked and ostracized Chiang Kai-shek's close associates in Shandong.
After the outbreak of the Xi'an Incident, Han Fuyu sent a telegram to support Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, and this behavior made the relationship between him and Chiang Kai-shek tense again, and he became a nail in Chiang Kai-shek's eyes.
After the outbreak of the National War of Resistance, Han Fuyu was still in charge of the military command of the Shandong region, undertook the defense of the Yellow River, and in the face of the Japanese army's large-scale attack, Han Fuyu has been stubbornly resisting, but Chiang Kai-shek ordered the transfer of his artillery at this time, making the already unfavorable situation even more embarrassing.
Han Fuyu was so outraged by this that he decided to abandon Jinan directly, and directly burned the Shandong provincial government before leading the troops to evacuate, and later directly abandoned the defense lines of the Yellow River and Mount Tai because of Chiang Kai-shek's distrust.
In the face of Li Zongren's rebuke, Han Fuyu sent a telegram accusing the Nanjing government of incompetence, and in addition to his private conspiracy with the chairman of Sichuan Province to oppose Chiang Kai-shek, he was directly angered and shot on the grounds of "not obeying orders and retreating without authorization" for the reason.
After Han Fuyu was executed, his wife and two concubines lost their dependence, the slaves in the family were all scattered, and the people of the chairman's mansion, which had unlimited scenery, went to the empty building.
His wife and four children traveled around, and the eldest son, unable to stand the stimulation of his father's death, had a nervous breakdown and eventually died in a mental hospital.
The three sons were fortunate not to be implicated by their father, grew up under the care of their mother, and inherited their father's clever mind, and they were all admitted to good colleges and universities.
The second son became a teacher at the school after retiring from the army, the third son studied at the military academy in Sichuan and worked in the transportation department after liberation, and the youngest son went to Austria to study when he grew up, and stayed overseas for the rest of his life.
brief summary:
Han Fuyu was essentially a warlord, but not the kind of uneducated man in the hearts of many people, he had a mixed life, and when he divided Shandong, he also promulgated many effective policies, and many people regarded him as a Confucian general when they mentioned him.
