During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang troops made great contributions on the frontal battlefield.
However, Chiang Kai-shek initially implemented a policy of non-resistance, and it was not until the Xi'an Incident that Chiang Kai-shek had to reluctantly agree to the establishment of an anti-Japanese national united front to resist the Japanese army together. After that, many Kuomintang soldiers put the great righteousness of the homeland first, and they had to defend their families and defend the country first to solve internal problems.
Many of Chiang Kai-shek's troops were defectors from the past, like Zhang Xueliang and Han Fuyu, who once dominated one side, so Chiang Kai-shek did not trust them. Especially after the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang was imprisoned by Chiang Kai-shek.
Even Han Fuyu, who spoke for Zhang Xueliang during the Xi'an Incident, did not escape punishment and was shot seven times when he died.
1. Shandong warlord Han Fuyu
Han Fuyu was once the warlord leader of Shandong, and he was able to cover the sky with one hand on the shandong territory, but he was not from a prominent family like Zhang Xueliang, and he was born as the son of a warlord.
His family was very ordinary, although not poor, but because of the backwardness of the family road had to enlist in the army, but fortunately when he was young, he read a few days of books and had some culture.
However, those who entered the army were all because the conditions at home were too difficult and wanted to enter the army to eat a mouthful of food, and Han Fuyu became the kind of person who was literate in the army. Because of the coincidence of chance, he entered Feng Yuxiang's army,
Because he wrote well, he stood out among some big-headed soldiers and was appreciated by Feng Yuxiang, so he became a staff officer of the army
。
Because Han Fuyu looked very much like a scholar, Feng Yuxiang did not let him lead the troops, but only gave advice, but over time, he naturally knew something about the military in the army, and he also rose step by step to become the commander of the army.
Later, when the various warlords were fighting, Feng Yuxiang was chased and killed and fled abroad, and his troops were scattered.
Until Feng Yuxiang returned to China and wanted to regain his rights, he decided to demote all the people below, including Han Fuyu.
However, Han Fuyu and others were dissatisfied with Feng Yuxiang's arrangement and decided to overturn Feng Yuxiang and surrender to Chiang Kai-shek's troops
At that time, the strength behind Chiang Kai-shek was not very strong, so he was very happy about the troops who came to defect.
During the domestic revolution, Han Fuyu's troops were also arranged by Chiang Kai-shek to resist the attacks of other warlords and communists in Shandong, and Han Fuyu took root in Shandong, recruited troops, and became a veritable king of Shandong and the largest warlord in Shandong. only
In the territory of Shandong, Han Fuyu could still cover the sky with one hand.
2. The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression
Han Fuyu was also forever nailed to the column of shame of history because of his non-resistance in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
At that time, Shandong was indeed lost by Han Fuyu, and the process was also very humiliating, Han Fuyu ceded Shandong to Japan without resistance, which was also where he was criticized, but in fact, at the beginning, Han Fuyu resolutely resisted the japanese invasion.
When the Japanese army first entered Shandong, Han Fuyu ordered stubborn resistance to the Japanese army and never let the Japanese step into the border of Shandong, but when Han Fuyu stubbornly fought against the Japanese army, Chiang Kai-shek did not send reinforcements
It was to watch Han Fuyu fight with the Japanese army and then consume Han Fuyu's strength. Later, Han Fuyu understood Chiang Kai-shek's thoughts and was very disappointed in him.
Han Fuyu knew that Chiang Kai-shek did not want to really resist Japan, but wanted the Japanese to consume their own army, and then help him remove the thorn in his eye. After knowing Chiang Kai-shek's purpose, Han Fuyu did not want to waste his own strength, nor did he want to become a victim of Chiang Kai-shek's politics.
Therefore, he ordered not to resist the Japanese army, abandoned the city in a stalemate, and abandoned the whole of Shandong.
Although Han Fuyu did not resist the Japanese army to retain his strength, Chiang Kai-shek still would not let him go.
On the grounds that he gave up such an important strategic position in Shandong without resistance, allowed the Japanese to enter Shandong directly into the south of our country, and caused a great impact on our army
Chiang Kai-shek questioned him about this.
Han Fuyu did not admit guilt, but asked Chiang Kai-shek rhetorically, at that time, Nanjing had also been lost, and I was responsible for the loss of Shandong, so who should be responsible for the loss of Nanjing
。 This directly hit Chiang Kai-shek's lifeblood, and made Chiang Kai-shek very angry, originally wanting to kill him, which further strengthened Chiang Kai-shek's determination to send him to a military court.
III. Xi'an Incident
After the fall of Shandong, Chiang Kai-shek was questioned all over the country, and at such a critical juncture, he was still implementing a policy of non-resistance, hoping that the Japanese army would consume other forces that threatened him
。 Many Kuomintang officers could not understand Chiang Kai-shek's actions because of their feelings of family and country, so Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, as representatives of the military advice carried out in Nanjing, seized Chiang Kai-shek.
Zhang Xueliang and his men forced Chiang Kai-shek to sign a united front pledge, and the next day they sent a telegram to the whole country, thus forming an anti-Japanese national united front. But because of this military advice, Chiang Kai-shek also held a grudge in his heart.
Therefore, it did not take long for him to arrest Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, zhang Xueliang was a warlord with a deep foundation so he did not dispose of him, and Yang Hucheng was secretly executed by Chiang Kai-shek.
After the Xi'an incident, Han Fuyu also made an evaluation of this, Han Fuyu was originally a very patriotic person, if it were not for Chiang Kai-shek Han Fuyu would have stayed in Shandong to the end, but because of Chiang Kai-shek's political ideas, he gave up Shandong in order not to let Chiang Kai-shek succeed, so after the Xi'an incident,
Han Fuyu praised Zhang Xueliang and called their actions righteous.
This made Chiang Kai-shek even more resentful of Han Fuyu, and after abandoning Shandong, he lured Han Fuyu to Nanjing to try him and sent him to a military court. Han Fuyu died and disobeyed Chiang Kai-shek, and within a few days Han Fuyu was executed by a military court for dereliction of duty.
When Han Fuyu died, he was shot seven times, and a generation of warlords was destroyed.
4. Summary
The sins committed by Han Fuyu led to the loss of Shandong, because what he gave up was not Shandong but the entire shandong people, as well as an important military stronghold.
He gave up the country and the nation because of his own selfish interests, and he could not live long for such a crime, but in the end being sent to a military court by Chiang Kai-shek was also something that Han Fuyu himself did not want to see.
Originally, he did not want to be a victim of his politics before he decided to withdraw from Shandong, but in the end he died at the hands of Chiang Kai-shek.
Chiang Kai-shek would not let other warlords dominate, and all he was able to grow up later were his concubines who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy.
Therefore, no matter how you look at Han Fuyu, you must be punished as you deserve, and losing Shandong really needs a person to take responsibility.
