The Republic of China has been proclaimed since early 1912, but it has not won a truly democratic state. For a time, warlords rose together, and by the mid-to-late 20s, the big warlords included zhang father and son in the northeast, Feng Yuxiang in the northwest, "Li Huangbai" in Guangxi, Yan in Shanxi, and the name of the national army, which was actually the central department of the new warlords. The forces vary widely. The above mentions are all big warlords, and if you subdivide them again, there are more characters to count. However, from the Zhiwan period, China's warlords have a characteristic, that is, the national righteousness cannot be discarded, which seems to have become the consensus of everyone, even if the turf struggle is fierce, it cannot be exchanged for China's territory and dignity. However, there is an exception to this, not only for their own interests to change the court 6 times, but also do not hesitate to defect to the Japanese army, which is completely unambiguous. This person is the former northwest warlord Shi Yousan, who can be called the most undisciplined warlord in the Republic of China.
Shi Yousan, a poor child in the northeast, was not born well, but his mind was very active and he was able to do things. Due to the various warlords fighting each other, the troops moved frequently, and Shi Also arrived in Beijing by mistake. Here he became acquainted with Feng Yuxiang, the great leader of the Northwest Army, and soon rose from an inconspicuous groom to a high position as a brigade commander and division commander. Why does Feng like Shi Yousan so much? Because Feng was known for his flexibility among China's great warlords, he also changed his position and allied with many times in his life. Such a fickle person is naturally more inclined to subordinates who are very similar to his own style, and Shi this person is very good at catering to the temper of the master, often giving gifts and knotting, and often selling huge sums of money, and serving Feng very well.
In 1926, Shi Yousan led his troops to go out with the Northwest Army. But he didn't intend to come to the real thing, he just wanted to use the chaos of the war to expand his strength. So he deliberately delayed when fighting against the Jin army, and watched the timing to see if he could get a profit from it. Sure enough, Shi, who had always wanted to go further in his position of power, waited for a good opportunity. He took in the remnants of the other Northwest Army that had been defeated on the front line, and at one time his strength reached more than 30,000 people. Subsequently, he took more than 30,000 soldiers and horses with him, and used this as a capital to jump to the Side of the Jin Army. Soon after, the situation changed dramatically, and the old master Feng Yuxiang offered him a higher price tag, persuading him to leave Shanxi and return to his side. As a result, the faceless and skinless Shi immediately said that he was just confused for a while, and now decided to return to Feng's side.
In his later military career, Shi Yousan repeatedly repeated between the Northwest Army, the Nationalist Army, and the Northeast Army, and staged 6 farces of defection and defection to the enemy. If a warlord is so fickle, but too flexible, unprincipled, and barely understood by everyone, then there is an act that can never be forgiven by the people. In 1932 and 1940, at the climax of the two Japanese invasions of China, Shi Yousan became a traitor for the sake of immediate benefits and became the leader of the puppet army. That 40-year pitch was the one that was really punished. One of the military commanders under his jurisdiction refused to attack the Chinese army because he was genuinely dissatisfied with Shi's shameless behavior. The commander then took the opportunity to invite Shi to his troops and ordered his subordinates to tie him up and bury him alive, ending Shi Yousan's 49-year-old life.
