We know that the Zunyi conference is an extremely important meeting, the meeting was held at No. 80 Hongqi Road (Atomic Yin Road) in the old town of Honghuagang District, Zunyi, Guizhou, a private official residence named Pipa Bridge, this house is quite elaborate, the whole building is divided into two parts: the main building and the cross-courtyard, the main building is a combination of Chinese and Western, there are eight paved houses on the street, and there is a green brick archway between the main building and the cross-courtyard. The top of the archway is inlaid with the word "Consolation Lu" with broken blue porcelain, and the other side of the archway has the word "Prudent Du".
The main building of the mansion sits north and south, the first floor and the bottom, which is curved ruler-shaped, brick and wood structure, a mountain-style roof, and a small green tile. The building has a circle of holdings, a tiger window on the roof, a spacious cloister, a corner staircase, a green brick colonnade, carved doors and windows, and even the lights on the ceiling are protruding from the sculpture of a bird or a flower. Standing on the corridor, you can overlook the green and tall mountains around you, point out the red flower gangs of the former Red Army when the Second Occupation of Zunyi and the enemy army fought, and the peaks of The Flag Mountain, Yuping Mountain, and Phoenix Mountain.
The owner of this house was named Bai Huizhang, and his position at that time was the commander of the Second Division of the 25th Army of the Qian Army. In the early 1930s, after Bai Huizhang became the commander of the division, he thought of the Guangyao lintel, to build a beautiful mansion in his hometown, and asked someone to design this "Bai Mansion" that combines Chinese and Western styles, and spent more than 30,000 silver dollars to build it.
Bai Huizhang, a native of Zunyi, Guizhou, his father, Bai Jiesheng, has 7 sons and 2 daughters, and Bai Huizhang is the second son. In 1921, in order to avoid the need to smoke Zhuang Ding, his father sent the 20-year-old Bai Huizhang to Guiyang and entered the Guizhou Daowutang Cavalry Section. After that, Bai Huizhang was promoted from squad leader to division commander and became a concubine under Wang Jialie, Bai Huizhang was medium in height, strong, and eloquent, wearing two star lieutenant general epaulettes.
At that time, Wang Jialie served as a standing committee member of the Kuomintang Guizhou Provincial Party Department, deputy director of the Guizhou Appeasement Office, commander of the 2nd Division, commander of the 25th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and chairman of Guizhou Province.
At this time, the Red Army entered Qian, and Chiang Kai-shek, worried that the Guizhou warlord Wang Jialie, in order to preserve his strength and not be able to encircle and suppress him, decided to remove the local forces and unify the central government decrees; on the one hand, he sent the central army to pursue him closely, and on the other hand, he sent his men to win over and divide Wang Jialie's subordinates, and bribed Wang Jialie's two division commanders with heavy money to defect, one of whom was Bai Huizhang. These made Wang Jialie, in the midst of embattled mourning, forced to surrender his political and military power, and from then on he stepped down from the throne of the king of Guizhou and withdrew from the stage of Guizhou history.
Bai Huizhang forced Wang Jialie to surrender his military power and let Guizhou, which was in a state of division, return to rule, and in Chiang Kai-shek's view, from this point Bai Huizhang was indispensable, he was also absorbed by the Central Army, and later served as the commander of the 102nd Division.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Bai Huizhang led his troops to participate in the Battle of Songhu, the soldiers heroically resisted the Japanese Kou, the troops suffered heavy casualties, and then, they participated in the Battle of Xuzhou, the battle situation was equally tragic, the brother of the division commander Bai Huizhang, the commander of the division station Bai Charter was killed in Kaifeng while transporting ammunition to the front, and the regimental commander Chen Yunyu was killed. Later, the Nationalist government gave commendations, and Bai Charter was posthumously awarded to the colonel; Chen Yunyu was posthumously awarded the major general. After the death of Regiment Commander Chen, Chiang Kai-shek sent an elegy of "loyal and fierce, but the wind", "wrapped in leather and painless, buried in green blood in a reed building overnight; the original canon of meritorious service, the history of thousands of autumns and the history of DanXin". After that, Bai Huizhang led the 102nd Division to participate in the Battle of Nanchang and the Battle of Changsha, all of which had achievements; during the Battle of Changsha, he personally went to the front line to command the battle, and one ear was deafened by the roaring cannon.
Subsequently, Bai Huizhangbu was assigned to the Guangdong Army, and was appointed commander of the Gannan Division, and later served as a senator of the Jiangxi Military District and the deputy commander of the 88th Army.
Later, when the Kuomintang building was about to fall, Bai Huizhang could not bear to leave his hometown, and after much thought, decided to stay in Guizhou and return to Zunyi to serve as the deputy commander of the Appeasement District in northern Qianbei. Soon after, in the 2nd Appeasement District, our army has always given preferential treatment to the rebel generals, and in order to take advantage of its relations in the old army, Bai Huizhang was transferred to the Zunyi District Bandit Suppression Committee as a united front target in the early days of the establishment of the government, and served as vice chairman.
However, just when Bai Huizhang was about to contribute to the construction of new China, one of his fifth brothers, Bai Minzhang, who was a complete scoundrel who ate, drank, and gambled, was instigated to join the bandit rebellion after liberation and was captured by our army. With this accusation, he completely put his brother to death and was executed, while he himself recovered a life and was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment.
Later, after Bai Minzhang was released from prison, once the descendants of the Bai clan gathered in Zunyi's hometown, and in front of all the relatives, the second sister of Bai Huizhang asked him why he had framed the second brother shortly after his release, and Bai Minzhang said: "In order to survive, we must leave a few people behind." The second sister scolded angrily, "What is the use of leaving you with this evil seed?
