During the turbulent period of the Republic of China, There was a special force in China called warlords, which was simply a group of soldiers who divided one side. Because the military has real power, it can control the local administrative, educational, judicial and other institutions, and become a country within a country, the warlords are not completely corrupt and stubborn, and some warlords are more enlightened and can conform to the trend of history.
Warlords are also very particular when choosing territory, and those places where the land is fertile and easy to defend and difficult to attack are the first choice.
Bashu has been a place of contention for soldiers since ancient times, and during the Republic of China period, it also became the main place for warlords to fight, and finally Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui's uncles and nephews stood out in the warlord melee with their excellent ability and occupied Sichuan.
After Liu Wenhui and Liu Xiang stabilized, the contradictions between Liu Wenhui and Liu Xiang gradually intensified, and later Liu Xiang once wanted to kill Liu Wenhui, and only under Chiang Kai-shek's influence did he give Liu Wenhui a glimmer of life.
After Liu Xiang's death, Liu Wenhui successfully took over the Sichuan army, and Chiang Kai-shek thought that the people he left behind would be loyal to him, but he did not expect that Liu Wenhui would later run counter to him
。 After Liu Wenhui's uprising, Hu Zongnan ransacked Liu's house and secretly planted explosives, but it was not Liu Wenhui who died.
Growing suspicious
In 1895, Liu Wenhui was born in Sichuan, although the family was not rich, but because the family had an ancestral hall, he also had the opportunity to study, Liu Wenhui did not live up to the ardent hopes of his parents, and was admitted to the Baoding Military Academy.
At that time, the country was already fragmented, and various forces were vying to expand their territory, Liu Xiang was Liu Wenhui's nephew, he already occupied a place in Sichuan, because of the relationship between uncles and nephews, Liu Wenhui became a soldier under Liu Xiang after graduation.
There were people in the court who were good officials, and under the care of Liu Xiang, Liu Wenhui's position was promoted quickly. First of all, Liu Wenhui is also a very talented person, Liu Xiang is the icing on the cake, but Liu Wenhui is still very grateful to Liu Xiang for his support.
When fighting with other warlords, the uncle and nephew naturally united to unite with the outside world, and when they had firmly controlled Sichuan, a gap gradually arose between the two.
As the saying goes, a mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui both have certain talents, and the status of the two in the Sichuan army was also indistinguishable later, but the two had differences in the direction of the Sichuan army in the future, and even went in opposite directions.
Liu Xiang is a conservative, and he wants to lean on the big tree of Chiang Kai-shek, take the mountain as the king in Sichuan, and guard the treasure land of Feng Shui in Sichuan to live a stable life.
But liu xiang was after all a man with formal military training, and his thinking and vision were more long-term than Liu Wenhui's, and he believed that the Sichuan army should take advantage of the turbulent situation to conquer the Central Plains on the basis of unifying Sichuan and continuously expand its territory and strength.
Let's not say whether this point is feasible, first of all, this idea will be resisted by Chiang Kai-shek, and if it really does, it will undoubtedly become an opponent with Chiang Kai-shek.
The dispute between the two Liu
Neither of them could convince the other, so they worked in their respective directions, and at the same time, both of them waited for the opportunity to get rid of each other, after all, it was too dangerous to disagree with each other.
First, Liu Wenhui found a killer and planned to assassinate Liu Xiang, but then the matter was revealed, and in October 1932, Liu Xiang ordered his subordinates to lead his troops to go directly to Liu Wenhui's Nanchong Lin Yungen, and the dispute between the two Lius officially began.
At first, Liu Wenhui had the upper hand, Liu Xiang was also an experienced person after all, he began to draw together many forces to jointly deal with Liu Wenhui, and at the same time disintegrated Liu Wenhui's army from within, and Liu Wenhui eventually lost to Liu Xiang under the combination of inside and outside.
From the moment the war broke out, the friendship between the uncle and nephew had been gone, and in order to never have any trouble, Liu Xiang also planned to kill them all.
Just as the dispute between the two Liu and Liu was coming to an end, Chiang Kai-shek, whom Liu Xiang had always wanted to defect to, spoke and demanded that Liu Wenhui be retained.
At this time, Liu Xiang could only obey Chiang Kai-shek's orders, because the dispute between the two Lius had seriously injured his vitality, and there were tigers and wolves around him, and if there was no support from Chiang Kai-shek, he was afraid that he would lead to disaster.
Chiang Kai-shek's purpose in protecting Liu Wenhui was also very direct, that is, to contain Liu Xiang, and if Liu Xiang was dominant alone, it would be difficult to control him in the later stage.
In this way, the remnants of Liu Wenhui were retained, and he also served as the chairman of Xikang Province, leaving Qingshan without fear of running out of firewood, and Liu Wenhui began to slowly cultivate his own forces.
In January 1938, Liu Xiang died of illness.
Liu Wenhui naturally took his place and became the leader of the Sichuan army.
Chiang Kai-shek originally wanted to take advantage of the life-saving grace of that year to lead the troops to take over Sichuan smoothly, but Liu Wenhui did not expect liu Wenhui to unite with everyone to resist, so that Chiang Kai-shek's wishful thinking fell through.
Launch an uprising
At this time, Japan had launched an all-out war of aggression against China, and Liu Wenhui, as a patriotic soldier, deeply disagreed with Chiang Kai-shek's practice of taking care of the outside world before inside, so his thinking began to change.
Later, Liu Wenhui came into contact with many Communist Party members, which made him understand the truth that the Communist Party can save China later, especially after getting to know Premier Zhou.
Liu Wenhui directly chose to defect to the Communist Party.
At the end of the Liberation War, the decline of the Kuomintang was already very obvious, when Chiang Kai-shek was preparing to fight the Communist army to the death in the southwest region, but Chiang Kai-shek, who had always been suspicious, still did not trust Liu Wenhui.
In order to win Chiang Kai-shek's trust and continue to stay in Sichuan to provide intelligence to the Communists, Liu Wenhui also staged a play in which he invited Chiang Kai-shek's close associate Hu Zongnan and others to his home, and his performance during this period was all contrary to the Communists.
At that time, Liu Wenhui was bent on uprising, but Premier Zhou asked him to be patient and naturally inform him of the uprising when the time was ripe.
During this period, Chiang Kai-shek repeatedly tested Liu Wenhui and tried to send his family to Taiwan to control Liu Wenhui, and in December 1949, Chiang Kai-shek set up a Hongmen banquet and invited Liu Wenhui to discuss important matters.
Liu Wenhui, who had already heard the news, directly launched an uprising
This greatly angered Chiang Kai-shek, which was also the force he had been cultivating, and actually defected to the Communist Party at a critical moment.
In order to get rid of this evil spirit in his heart, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Hu Zongnan to attack Liu Wenhui, who had always been Chiang Kai-shek's confidant, and quickly led troops to attack Liu Wenhui after receiving the task.
Liu Wenhui has long been a person to go to the building, Hu Zongnan moved his anger to the liu surname,
Killed a large number of innocent people
。 Not only that, Hu Zongnan also
Lead someone to loot the Liu mansion
, snatched away a large amount of gold and silver jewelry, of which
Later, a large amount of explosives was buried in Liu's house, and if Liu Wenhui dared to come back, he would definitely be blown to pieces.
But before Liu Wenhui returned, the explosives in Liu Mansion exploded, and it turned out that there were still people coveting the property in Liu Mansion, taking advantage of the night to break into Liu Mansion, accidentally detonating a bomb, and the entire Liu Mansion was blown into ruins.
The greedy man became Liu Wenhui's substitute ghost
。
Later, Liu Wenhui served as the minister of forestry, contributed to China's forestry construction, and during the ten years of turmoil, Liu Wenhui was not implicated under the protection of Premier Zhou and spent his old age peacefully.
brief summary:
Liu Wenhui's life does not seem to have fought any beautiful battles, but his choice avoided many casualties. Although he followed the Kuomintang in his early years, he later lost his way and revolted without hesitation.
After Liu Wenhui's uprising, Hu Zongnan led people to loot Liu's house and secretly planted explosives, but the result was to kill people who were greedy for money, Liu Wenhui escaped a disaster, and later spent his old age in peace.
