In the south gate of Wuhan, known as the "Chu Tianshou County" in the south of Jiangxia District, there is a Second Largest Freshwater Lake in Hubei Liangzi Lake, there is a small township on the edge of the lake, because here is the intersection of hills and lakes, mountains and rivers reflect each other, the natural environment is superior and unique, the scenery is beautiful, the climate is pleasant, sucking the essence of the landscape, the breath of the clouds, so the name of hillside street, this is the hometown of the first-class general of the National Army Peng Mengji.
Peng Mengji, zi zhenru, trumpet nianxian, born in September 1908 in Jiangxia city, he studied in The Hanyang Wende Academy in Hubei Province in his early years, and then transferred to the Literature Department of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou to study, before graduating, he entered the fifth phase of the Huangpu Army Officer School, received military education in the Enlisted Student Corps, after graduation successively served as the platoon of the artillery battalion, the company commander, the chief of the political training department and other positions, and then was sent to the Japanese Field Artillery School for further study, and after returning to China, he served as the chief instructor of the Army Artillery School.
During the fifth "encirclement and suppression" of the Central Red Army launched by Chiang Kai-shek, Peng Mengji, who served as the commander of the first battalion of the first regiment of the first brigade of artillery and an instructor of the training class for political cadres of the Army Officer Academy, participated in the "suppression of the communists" campaign in Yanping and Gutian, and led the troops to advance in Yanping, Shuikou, and Gutian. He was subsequently promoted to regimental commander of the Heavy Artillery Regiment of the Army Artillery School (the first mechanized heavy artillery regiment in the history of the Republic of China, with three battalions under the regiment, two companies per battalion, and four heavy artillery units per company).
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Peng Mengji led the artillery regiment to participate in the Songhu War of Resistance, and when the troops retreated, some of the artillery of the artillery regiment were blocked by the road bridge that had already planted mines, and had to endure the pain of pushing the artillery into the river, and then Peng Mengji was promoted to major general of the army, and served as the regimental commander, deputy brigade commander, brigade commander, and lieutenant general of the artillery headquarters of the Fourth Theater of Artillery. He successively participated in the battles of Guiyang and Liuzhou.
During the Liberation War, Peng Mengji came to Taiwan as the commander of the Kaohsiung Fortress, on February 28, 1947, uprisings were held in various parts of Taiwan to resist atrocities, especially the Kaohsiung people searched for corrupt officials, and more than 200 local police officers also participated, this Kaohsiung rebel army controlled all the military and political organs in the city in one day, only the Kaohsiung Fortress Headquarters with heavy troops had not yet been disarmed, and the fortress commander Peng Mengji forcefully handled it, which was called the "Two Two Eight" incident.
Peng Mengji was appreciated by Shangfeng for this incident, and was first promoted to commander of the Taiwan Garrison Headquarters, and then served as the deputy commander of Taiwan's security and the commander of the garrison, but he was insulted in Taiwan at that time. Even when his colleague Wu Guozhen commented on him as "extremely inferior in character," General Sun Liren despised Peng Mengji the most, a roe deer with a rat's eye and no achievements, and was actually promoted to commander-in-chief of the army. In addition, the famous writer Li Ao also criticized Peng Mengji for "being the first to come to Taiwan and presiding over the intelligence organs for the longest time, so he single-handedly created the most unjust, false, and wrong cases."
Later, after the Nationalist government fled Taiwan, Peng Mengji was loyal to Chiang Kai-shek's father and son, and ruled Taiwan with an iron fist, laying a solid foundation for Chiang Kai-shek to run Taiwan. He was soon promoted to deputy chief of staff, and after the death of Chief of Staff Gui Yongqing, he took over as Chief of Staff. It is said that because he was not old enough, his colleagues were dissatisfied, and then chiang kai-shek transferred him to the commander-in-chief of the army and also the commander-in-chief of Taiwan's defense. He was then promoted to the rank of general of the Army and again served as chief of staff.
Peng Mengji's wife is Zheng Biyun, who has been living with him in the military since marriage, and it can be seen from Peng Mengji's reminiscences: "My wife, Ms. Zheng Biyun, ------ spent her military career with me in the chaos of war, not only a partner in life, but also a good friend in her career, whenever in the emergency of major events, she will often comfort and encourage ------."
Mr. and Mrs. Peng Mengji had two sons, the eldest son Peng Yingang and the second son Peng Yinxuan. Peng Yinggang, born in 1935, went to Taiwan with his parents in 1946, studied in the United States, and graduated from the Mechanical Engineering Department of Willy Rolla University in the United States in 1962. He first went to bell telecommunications company in the United States as a system engineer for 5 years, and then abandoned work and business. In the early 1970s, he began to establish the Taiwan AVIC Weilian Group, operating container, warehousing and transportation industries through self-investment and joint ventures.
By the 1980s, Peng Yingang had more than 20 subsidiaries, including China Shipping Co., Ltd., Weilian Transportation Co., Ltd., Weilian Industrial Co., Ltd., Hangwei Technology Co., Ltd., Trade Union Warehousing Co., Ltd., and Weilian Investment Co., Ltd., which were engaged in transportation, manufacturing, warehousing, high-tech, international trade, overseas investment and real estate development.

One is called "Zhonghua Mir" and the other is called "Zhonghua Fujin". Later, the company ordered a cargo bulk carrier of the same tonnage, named "China Glory", and Peng Yingang also donated to the construction of Mingxi Primary School and Hillside Biyun Primary School in Jiangxia District, Wuhan.
