He was then the commander of the 17th Division of the 6th Army of the Nationalist Army.
On the night of May 21, 1927, the Ma-Ri Incident occurred in Changsha. It so happened that he was recruiting troops in Changsha at this time, and he received a message that Xu Kexiang, commander of the 33rd Regiment of he Jian's 35th Army stationed in Changsha, had suddenly arrested the Communists and revolutionary comrades in Changsha.
After receiving this news, he immediately ordered his subordinates to rush to the provincial trade unions, peasant associations, and other places, saying, "Go and arrest the Communists, and the more the better." Sure enough, before dawn, his men arrested more than 80 Communist and revolutionary comrades and imprisoned them in the camp.
Soon after, however, someone knocked outside the door, saying that they were coming to search for the Communists. Only to see the division commander say solemnly to those who tried to enter the door and search, Don't you know that our unit was ordered to recruit troops here? You can search, but you have to be disciplined!
The gang came in to take a look, and sure enough, there was a team of recruits inside for morning exercises. When the gang saw this, they hurriedly said, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! He withdrew.
The commander of the Nationalist army was named Li Minghao.
Born in 1897 in Liling, Hunan, Li Minghao graduated from the Non-Commissioned Officer School in Tokyo, Japan, and did intelligence work under Zhou Gong in his early years. Later, he entered the Changsha Army Lecture Hall as the deputy of the major team, and the military and political department of the Guangzhou base camp as the chief of the Quanxu section. From 1923 onwards, he successively served as the chief of education of the Guangzhou Army's Lecture And martial arts school, the chief of staff of the headquarters of the Offensive Army, the commander of the 54th Regiment of the 17th Division of the 6th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and the commander of the 17th Division.
It turned out that on this night, Li Minghao had received a secret letter sent by the chairman to protect a group of comrades, so he sent someone from the provincial trade union and peasant association to "arrest" these more than 80 party members and revolutionary comrades to the camp, and let them put on military uniforms and protect them as new soldiers.
At this time, Changsha was in a state of white terror, in order to send this batch of revolutions out of Changsha in time. Li Minghao thought of a way to pull them into the wilderness for military training, and quietly sent these more than 80 comrades out of Changsha safely, and later these comrades became the backbone of the autumn harvest uprising led by the chairman.
Later, Li Minghao still served in the Kuomintang army, mainly engaged in military teaching. He successively served as the commander of the 6th Army, the supervisor of the Nanjing Training Director Department, the major general counselor of the Wuhan "Suppression of Bandits" General Headquarters, and the director of the Education Department of the Nanjing Central Military Academy. In the Kuomintang camp, he was in Cao Ying's heart in Han, providing our underground organization with a large amount of important intelligence, documents and maps about the Kuomintang's attack on the Red Army.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Li Minghao briefly served as a lieutenant general in the 97th Army and commander of the Chongqing Garrison, but was dismissed by secret agents due to his close relationship with the "Eighth Route Army Office" and the Zhou Gong, and continued to engage in military teaching.
In 1948, After announcing to Bai Chongxi that he would break away from the Kuomintang, Li Minghao secretly entered the Liberated Areas of North China from Tianjin, returned to the revolutionary ranks, and later participated in the peaceful liberation of Peiping and the peaceful liberation of Hunan.
Since then, Li Minghao has successively served as a member and secretary general of the Hunan Military and Political Committee, a member of the National Defense Commission, a member of the Central and Southern Military and Political Committee, a deputy director of the Central and Southern Administrative Committee, a vice governor of Hubei Province, a vice chairman of the Hubei Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
On August 25, 1980, Li Minghao died of illness in Wuchang at the age of 83.
