Before the bandits were executed, they looked at the general's family, and the general said busily: Release people! 25 years later he threatened one side
In the nineteenth century, Vietnam was invaded by the French army, and the Qing Dynasty sent a minister to defeat the French army. Two years later, the French invaded again, and along the way, they attacked the then Zhennan Pass, and put a wooden sign in front of the pass that read, "The Gateway to Guangxi No Longer Exists."
This move infuriated people everywhere, and some even erected wooden plaques that read, "We will rebuild our portal with the heads of the French." At the time when everyone was indignant, a young man appeared, and he was Lu Rongting.
Lu Rongting, also known as "Lu Wuming", had a marksmanship and once raised a large banner to lead his brothers to plunder the rich merchants and Frenchmen on the border. Later, his contingent numbered more than a thousand people, and for this reason he set up special rules not to rob Chinese, not to rob the poor, and not to rob people near the station. But even Lu Rongting, who robbed the rich and helped the poor and suppressed the French, could not escape the arrest of the Qing court. Because Lu Rongting's team was already very large, it had an impact on the Qing court.
After the Sino-French War, Lu Rongting pointed the finger at Su Yuanchun, the governor of Longzhou who was guarding the frontier, and he took a fancy to Su Yuanchun's horse, and as a result, he was arrested on the spot when he infiltrated the governor's mansion. When Su Yuanchun interrogated Lu Rongting, he asked him why he wanted to steal his horse, and Lu Rongting's answer made Su Yuanchun look at him differently, and he directly released Lu Rongting. Lu Rongting replied, "Others only have one horse, and if they steal it, they have nothing, while the Old Master Of the Governor has a herd of horses and steals a harmless one."
Later, Lu Rongting was arrested by the French army during a robbery of the French, and according to the treaty, the French army handed over Lu Rongting and others to Su Yuanchun, who was forced to sentence him to capital punishment. On the execution ground, Lu Rongting's brothers were beheaded one by one, and when it was Lu Rongting's turn, he suddenly looked up, startled the executioner, and the butcher knife in his hand also fell to the ground. Su Yuanchun looked at him and felt that he was a talent that could be created, so he ordered Lu Rongting to be released.
Of course, it is not directly released, but there are conditions, the condition is that in the future, some of the resources of the French will be handed over to Su Yuanchun. Until 1894, Lu Rongting was recruited by Su Yuanchun, and after that, he made a lot of merits, and was soon promoted to the governor of Guangxi, Wei Zhen's side. But it is a pity that during the Republic of China, he was ousted from power because of his conservative thinking. He died in Shanghai in 1928.
