In the early 1930s, opposite the chongqing auditorium, there was a large and luxurious garden-style mansion - Fanzhuang, with a gym, billiard hall, swimming pool, wind and rain tennis court, dance hall and so on.
Who is the owner of Fan Zhuang? It is the famous Fan Shaozeng. Because of his great wisdom and foolishness, people called him Fan Harel.
Fan Shaozeng is a native of Dazhu County, Sichuan, born in 1894. Dazhu is known as the first city in eastern Sichuan, and is named after the "bamboo and bamboo".
This former brother in robes is now a figure in the Sichuan Army who calls the wind and rain.
Fan Shaozeng was first the commander of the 7th Division under Yang Sen, commander of the 20th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and then because of Yang Sen's squeeze, he turned to Liu Xiang and served as the commander of the 4th Division of Liu Xiang's department.
Like his old chief, Yang Sen, Fan Shaozeng was greedy, and even more so. He has as many as 40 aunts and wives, and Fan Zhuang was built for his pleasure with his aunts and wives.
All the aunts and wives in Fan Zhuang have their own residences, and they are still at peace with each other. In addition to Fan Shaozeng's daily official duties, he enjoyed the quiet of the years in the new mansion.
The most favored is the seventeenth aunt, and Fan Shaozeng is very attentive to it. On the court and in the pool, two people can often be seen chasing and playing. At that time, some good people once wrote it as "The Biography of seventeen aunts", which attracted much attention after being printed into a book, and many people rushed to buy it and passed it on throughout the city.
There are cattle people who talk and laugh, and there is no white ding. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chiang Kai-shek, Song Meiling, Kong Xiangxi, and Yang Hu, commander of the Nanjing Garrison, lived in Fanzhuang. He Yingqin, chief of the general staff, and Gu Zhutong, commander of the Third Theater, were even more stationed with their families.
Fan Shaozeng, who was very good at doing things, sent his two aunts, Zhao Yunhua and He Shuxi, who had high taste, to accompany He Yingqin's wife Wang Wenxiang and Gu Zhutong's wife Xu Wenrong, and often sent fresh food, new clothing, and even gold and silver jewelry.
Money is a good thing, and wherever it is spent, it will blossom and bear fruit. Fan Shaozeng was later promoted to military commander.
In the second half of 1937, Fan Shaozeng's aunt camp had another 19-year-old star, yang Xiuqiong, who had won many swimming championships in large and even national competitions.
Yang Xiuqiong's bright eyes and teeth, natural beauty, has the reputation of "mermaid" in the southern country. At that time, Yang Xiuqiong was a famous star and the dry daughter of Song Meiling.
Yang Xiuqiong's ex-husband is Tao Boling. The front page of the Chongqing Daily once published such news: "The southern mermaid Yang Xiuqiong married General Fan Shaozeng, the commander of the Sichuan Army", with the subtitle: "Yang Xiuqiong and Tao Boling divorced", next to which was printed the "Divorce Letter Contract" signed by them personally.
Yang Xiuqiong committed herself to Fan Shaozeng, and was also matched by Chairman Jiang and Song Meiling. These two people, things are so not on the table.
Yang Xiuqiong
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the number of Sichuan troops participating in the war and the tragic sacrifices ranked first in the country.
In order to resist japan, the Sichuan army carried out Chiang Kai-shek's instructions and accepted the reorganization of the Nationalist government. Chiang Kai-shek, who was bent on meddling in Sichuan, used several military orders to divide the Sichuan army that had just left Sichuan into many pieces. Since then, the footprints of the Sichuan Army have spread all over the anti-Japanese battlefields throughout the country, and almost all the generals of the Sichuan Army have been present in the battle against Japan.
The Sichuan army, which was well aware of the great righteousness, endured humiliation and heavy burdens, generously died, and fought countless deadly battles with inferior weapons against the well-equipped Japanese army. According to the statistics of the National Government, the casualties of the Sichuan Army during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression were about 1/5 of the total casualties of the anti-Japanese army in the country, ranking first in the country.
In early 1939, Fan Shaozeng, then commander of the 88th Army, led his troops out of Sichuan to fight the Japanese army in the Dongxiang area of Jiangxi. The 88th Army had a number in the air, and Chiang Kai-shek's government did not give it anything, so that it had self-recruited soldiers, which belonged to the kind that brought its own dry food to resist the war.
In the summer of 1940, Fan Shaozeng's 88th Army moved to western Zhejiang. After the reconquest of the Yuhang area, the 88th Army received commendations from the Ministry of Military Affairs and dozens of medals and medals at all levels issued by the Central Military Commission, and was upgraded to a class A army with jurisdiction over 3 divisions.
On May 15, 1942, the Battle of Zhejiang was officially launched.
The Japanese army launched an attack from Fenghua and Yuhang with the strength of four and a half divisions, and Lianke Wuyi, Jinhua, and Xiaoshun arrived at the Lanxi area and prepared to launch an attack on Lanxi.
The new 21st Division of the Chuan Army Fan Shaozeng, the unit guarding Lanxi City. Luo Juntong, commander of the new 21st Division, and Huang Shiwei, deputy commander of the engineer battalion of the friendly army of the Sichuan Army, coordinated operations and planted many mines in the northern part of the city. On 28 May, Lieutenant General Naoji Sakai, commander of the Japanese 15th Division, stepped on the thunder and was killed.
The "Chinese Dispatch Army (Volume I)" compiled by the War History Office of the Defense Research Institute of the Japanese Defense Agency once recorded this: "Lieutenant General Sakai, commander of the 15th Division, commanded the capture of Lanxi near 1.5 kilometers north of Lanxi, and at 10:45 a.m. he was seriously wounded by a horse and was killed at 14:13... The commander of the incumbent division was killed, the first since the creation of the Army. ”
On May 29, 1942, Fan Shaozeng's 88th Army wounded Kono, commander of the Brigade of Major General Kono of the Japanese 40th Division.
Although Fan Shaozeng fought a victorious battle on the front line, he was transferred by Chiang Kai-shek to the deputy commander-in-chief of the Tenth Army, which had no real power. In a fit of rage, Fan Shaozeng returned to Chongqing and began to contact some progressive people, and his anti-Chiang tendencies became increasingly obvious.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Fan Shaozeng met with Gu Zhutong and asked that his original troops be transferred to engage in reclamation. Gu Zhutong signaled that he would also prepare for war with the Communists. Fan Shaozeng, who had undergone the baptism of progressive ideas, was no longer interested in fighting the civil war at this time, and immediately went to Shanghai to participate in the democratic activities led by the Democratic League, the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee, and other organizations.
In Shanghai, Fan Shaozeng established the "Yishe Society" by virtue of the gang and the old department of the Sichuan Army, and served as the chairman of the board. The company once transported medicines, paper, etc. to the liberated areas of northern Jiangsu, which strongly supported the people's liberation war. At this time, he fought fiercely with Du Yuesheng and others and became an iron brother.
In March 1948, the Kuomintang convened the National Congress. Before the election of vice president, Chiang Kai-shek summoned Fan Shaozeng, then a deputy to the "National Congress," and asked them to contact some of the deputies to support Sun Ke.
Fan Shaozeng was very cute and bluntly said that he had promised to support Li Zongren. Chiang Kai-shek was very annoyed by Fan Shaozeng's face-to-face disobedience, and soon ordered the Shanghai garrison commander Xuan Tiewu to arrest Fan Shaozeng on charges of communism.
At that time, it was a popular saying: Who in the world does not understand the common people?
Fan Shaozeng saw Chiang Kai-shek playing yin, and the good man did not eat the immediate loss, and quickly fled the danger.
In the autumn of 1949, when the Kuomintang was weakened and no one was available, Chiang Kai-shek remembered Fan Shaozeng and appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the Chuandong Advancing Army of the Ministry of National Defense. A few months later, Fan Shaozeng led more than 20,000 officers and men to revolt in Sanhui Town, Quxian County, Dazhou, Sichuan Province, and served as the deputy commander of the Shashi Military Subdistrict in Hubei Province in our army.
Fan Shaozeng after the uprising
Fan Shaozeng later successively served as counselor of the Central And southern military and political committee, senior counselor of the People's Liberation Army's Forty Wild Fifty Army, deputy director of the Henan Provincial Sports Committee, member of the provincial people's government, provincial people's representative, and member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
After handing over the military power, Fan Shaozeng felt extremely happy. Someone asked him why, and he said, "It's very expensive for me to raise those soldiers, and raising military expenses always makes me feel very nervous, or the Communist Party has a way and will lead the troops." How nice it is to end up relaxed.
His aunts and wives had also been dismissed long ago. Fan Shaozeng, who became a cadre of new China, naturally could not afford to raise this red pink team. Of course, even if it can be raised, the people's government will not allow it.
Raising soldiers and raising women are both very troublesome and expensive things.
Fan Shaozeng's third son was influenced by social ideological trends when he was in college, pointing at the nose of his father Fan Shaozeng and calling him an "old warlord" and expressing his desire to draw a class line with him. Fan Shaozeng said angrily, "Which one says lao tzu is a warlord?" Lao Tzu joined the glorious People's Liberation Army in 1949 and was a well-known revolutionary cadre. Did your turtle son see it? This is Lao Tzu's honorary certificate, issued by Commander-in-Chief Zhu De. The son thought for half a day and then asked, "What happened to your cowhide belt with the Kuomintang party emblem?" You are reluctant to throw it away, don't you still want to change the heavens and restore? ”
This belt is a testimony to Fan Shaozeng's golden age, the only souvenir he has left, Fan Shaozeng found a smoothbore shotgun from the room, and shouted: "Mess with Lao Tzu again, Lao Tzu will shoot you!" When the son saw this posture, he slipped away and ran faster than a rabbit.
In his later years, when asked what the greatest joy of his life was, Fan Shaozeng replied that he killed ghosts and hurt his wife.
The words are concise and concise, and how much love and hatred are clear! This is a very interesting person.
Fan Shaozeng in his later years
On March 5, 1977, Fan Shaozeng died in Zhengzhou at the age of 83. Many Zhengzhou people did not know until later that in the city where they lived, there was such a legendary grandfather for many years.
