There are always many differences between the characters in history and the characters portrayed in the TV series. I remember that a director made a TV series called "Silly Master" a long time ago, which is said to be Commander Fan Shaozeng, and the TV series portrayed Fan Shaozeng as a silly literary image.
Today we reveal the real Fan Shaozeng in history and see what other hidden secrets he has.
Children of rich families, trouble is wrong
If Fan Shaozeng is a girl, he may still be able to become a lady of zhishu Dali, but he is a boy.
Fan Shaozeng's family has a hundred acres of good land, the family is rich, and it is a demoted version of the Rongguo Mansion.
He was the shrunken version of Jia Baoyu
It's just that he loves to mess with things that are wrong. Not only is it not good to study, but it is not thinking about planning for inheriting the ancestral family business, but it is blindly outside all day long. At a young age, he often wandered into teahouses and casinos to inquire about what was happening in society.
When he grew up a little, he ignored the rules of the world even more, often disregarding his status as a rich second generation and mixing with the children of those poor peasant families, he also set up a small beggar gang, self-appointed as the leader of the gang, in order to lead everyone in the village to steal chickens and dogs, engage in picnic activities.
There is no such thing as a rich man.d..
Old Master Fan saw that the light of hope of the Fan family was dimming day by day, so he hurried to correct the chaos.
Hired a tutor to engage in "nine-year compulsory education",
As a result, Fan Gongzi frequently committed crimes, and after driving the teacher away, he went outside to walk the rivers and lakes.
Fan Shaozeng, who likes to be unrestrained, is particularly keen on social activities, and when he makes friends, he does not divide into three religions and nine streams, and often calls some people who are not three or four brothers, in short, the quality of friends is not bad, but the circle of friends is not small.
Although he did not like to read, he especially loved to go to a teahouse to hear about books.
At that time, it was often popular to say some historical stories such as "Water Margin" and "Sui and Tang Heroes", and Fan Shaozeng often regarded himself as a hero in the book, dreaming that he would be able to learn a kung fu in the future and fight the sword to go to the end of the world, so as to sweep away the unfair affairs in the world and become a great hero to save the country and the people.
In addition to the teahouse, Fan Shaozeng's favorite place to go is the casino.
But where there are people, there are grudges, and casinos are places where fierce gods are everywhere. Fan Shaozeng is young and vigorous, and often clashes with people. Once, he was beaten and bloodied by the thugs brought by the mayor's son, but instead of immediately calling for revenge, he said: "It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge." Then he staggered home.
After Old Master Fan knew about this, he not only did not take the anger for his son, but also approved the young man.
Fan Shaozeng saw that the old man did not support himself, and his heart was crossed, and he ran away from home.
At that time, there was a gang in Sichuan, called Brother Robe, which was the Sichuan version."
Green Gang
”。 This gang's style of behavior is a little harsher than that of Shui Po Liang, but it is not as excessive as the Green Gang, but it can solve the problem of no one covering.
Fan Shaozeng, who was anxious to find an "organization", looked quite in line with his own appetite.
He plunged into the arms of the Robe Brother Gang and hoped to realize his dream of being a hero here
。 After Fan Shaozeng, who entered the organization, stayed for a while, he found that this civilian armed force always made small troubles in society, and he could not find the opportunity to realize the value of life here, so he went to the roadside to calculate the gua gua and asked for help to ask the immortals.
Mr. Fan was dumbfounded, feeling that he could be blinded by one, so he learned from Zhou Wen Wang Ji Changlai, sprinkled copper coins, and operated in a serious manner, and finally concluded:
It's not that there are no opportunities in life, it's just a lack of a pair of eyes that find opportunities.
Things in life are contingent and inevitable. Fan Shaozeng then looked for the shadow of opportunity on the street every day. Finally, one day in 1919, God opened his eyes.
Fan Shaozeng encountered a group of hooligans on the street who were bullying a weak woman.
Fan Shaozeng, who was uneven, immediately came to the rescue, and this righteous act became a turning point in Fan Shaozeng's fate.
It turned out that the woman was the daughter of Yan Deji, the commander-in-chief of the anti-Yuan team to aid shaanxi's second road, and the daughter was the father's little cotton jacket, so shouldn't the person who protected the small cotton jacket deserve a heavy reward?
Fan Shaozeng soon became the battalion commander in the team
。 Therefore, when people are alive, they still do more good deeds and accumulate yin and virtue.
Since then, Fan Shaozeng has embarked on the road of joining the army, and his next goal is to become a real warlord.
Warlords melee, add officers to knighthood
In that era of wars and chaos, in Sichuan, a place surrounded by mountains, someone with a gun could become a prince of one side, occupy important resources, and collect protection fees for the local people. In order to expand their respective powers, the various warlords often fought against each other. Not only did the provinces attack each other, but they also competed with warlords from neighboring provinces.
After joining Yan Deji's team, in 1920, the great war between Tang Jiyao's Dian army and Xiong Kewu's Sichuan army soon began, and Yan was supportive of Tang.
Fan Shaozeng went to fight with the Sichuan Army
。 Due to the deep penetration of the lone army and the inability to keep up with the logistical supplies, the Dian army quickly failed and returned to Yunnan.
Later, Yan Deji joined Xiong Kewu's troops for reorganization, and Fan Shaozeng was appointed as the regimental commander. In the days when he followed Xiong Kewu to fight the world,
Fan Shaozeng met the nobleman again, the later Marshal of the Republic, Liu Bocheng,
At that time, Liu Bocheng also served under Xiong Kewu.
At that time, Fan Shaozeng was ordered to garrison Dongkui Province, but this area was mixed with fish and dragons, and various warlords were stationed here.
The forces on all sides are ready to guard against attacks by other forces at any time, and they are always ready to see the opportunity to kill each other.
As the saying goes, two monks carry water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink. At that time, the Dian army saw that the people were too mixed and the cost of taking this piece of land was too high, so it withdrew. The remaining E's army and the Yu army saw that the opportunity had come, and took advantage of Fan Shaozeng's kung fu of still smoking a big cigarette in bed to storm his garrison, and Fan Shaozeng's army was distraught and fled to Yunyang in a hurry.
To Yunyang,
Fan Shaozeng immediately turned on the revenge mode, he integrated the bandits and gangs in this area of the land, and pulled up a team of more than 3,000 people.
Fan Shaozeng knew very well that these people were unorganized and undisciplined, and their combat effectiveness could not be compared with that of the regular army, and they could only rely on "fighting hormones" to boost morale, so he shouted: "On the reward of merit and deeds, 50 oceans in one ear, 100 oceans in a gun, everyone first passed the addiction of smoking, and then dried up." When this battle is won, I will pack this month's smoke and soil. "It was the hottest pre-war mobilization in history.
The miscellaneous army that had sucked up the smoke and soil was suddenly full of energy, and directly rushed to the Dongfu Province, and the E and Yu troops were stunned, and they did not expect Fan Shaozeng to kill him so quickly.
Fan Shaozeng relied on the speed of the soldiers and nobles, and with the support of the local people, he quickly threw away the armor of these foreigners and abandoned the city and fled.
The Eastern Fu Was Lost and Recovered, Fan Shaozeng went and returned, and Fan Shaozeng, who occupied the territory, was ready to occupy the mountain as king. No, Liu Bocheng, who was the commander of the Second Mixed Brigade under Xiong Kewu, came to take over the defense the next day. This was an act of obedience, and Fan Shaozeng was not good enough to refuse, but he must exchange this city for some benefits.
Liu Bocheng said: "
Commander Fan is remarkable, three thousand to ten thousand, with less than more, really a model for my generation
！”
Fan Shaozeng clasped his fists in both hands and said, "They are all brothers who desperately fought with blood and sweat, but I don't know the purpose of Colonel Liu's coming?" ”
Liu Bocheng said, "Commander Fan knowingly asked, brother is under the order of Shangfeng to receive your defense zone." ”
Fan Shaozeng smirked: "There is a sentence in the jianghu, I don't know if Colonel Liu has heard it." Although you are ordered to receive it, but this is also the hard work of the brothers, Commander Liu always has the meaning, and I also have an account for my lost brothers! ”
Liu Bocheng said: "Well, then, I will open the defense zone of the county to you, and give you another 50,000 rounds of ammunition!" ”
The two sides successfully completed the transaction
。
Then, Liu Bocheng told Fan Shaozeng: "Now that the situation is so chaotic and the various warlords are attacking each other, your victory this time is just a fluke, if you do not rectify military discipline in time, manage the army according to law, and enhance combat effectiveness, sooner or later you will give up the place to others." You still have to seek the long-term path! ”
Fan Shaozeng listened and said, "Commander Liu Gaomi, give him a clear path." ”
And then
Liu Bocheng asked Fan Shaozeng to find a man named Luo Juntong
Finding Luo Juntong, Fan Shaozeng, with the assistance of Luo Juntong, began to carry out military reforms, first quit smoking, and then reorganized military affairs, turning an unorganized and undisciplined army into a Spartan legion with strict military discipline and explosive combat effectiveness.
meantime
Fan Shaozeng began to reform his thinking, and he began to take measures to win the trust of the people
Returning to his hometown, setting up a banquet to entertain the common people he had harmed, pouring wine one by one to apologize, and doubling the compensation for the economic losses caused, Fan Shaozeng began to use the masses as the basis for the growth of his combat effectiveness.
Paradigm reforms and acts of repentance have greatly increased the combat effectiveness of the troops he led, while winning the support of the local people.
This laid a good foundation for him to abandon Xiong Kewu and build an independent army.
After Fan Shaozeng changed defenses, he served as a regimental commander in Yunyang Yuji Tang's department, but Yu Jitang's troops did not regard Fan Shaozeng as their own.
As a result, Fan Shaozeng was harassed here and there.
Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance, and Fan Shaozeng decided to go out independently and go it alone. So one day it was raining heavily, and Fan Shaozeng and his troops suddenly attacked the Tang-style Zunbu in Dongkufu Province, snatched all the weapons, and then went straight to Youyang.
Just when Fan Shaozeng was concentrating on building his own "team" in the Youyang area, the Sichuan warlord Yang Sen returned to his hometown.
Fan Shaozeng thought that after all, his power was weak, he still had to find a patron, so he defected to Yang Sen
。 When Yang Sen saw that this was a game, he also brought a bunch of spiritual boys with him, and decided to appoint him as the commander of the Eighth Brigade of the Fourth Division, and later as the commander of the Ninth Mixed Brigade.
In October 1925, Yang Senxue Liu Bei launched a warlord war to unify Sichuan, and as a result, his dream of becoming the king of Sichuan was shattered. The warlord war cost too much, Yang Sen was seriously injured, determined to find a place to fish, recuperate, and gave part of the army to Fan Shaozeng before leaving. After a year, the old leader returned,
The loyal Brigadier Van returned to Janssen's command and charged for it.
At this time, Chiang Kai-shek outside Sichuan gradually rose, and the Northern Expeditionary Army led by him was like a bamboo all the way, eliminating the main warlord forces that were entrenched in China at that time and becoming the new bearer of the warlord community. At this time, Yang Sen saw that his patron Wu Peifu was in a slump, so he quickly turned the rudder and became the commander of Chiang Kai-shek's Twentieth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and Fan Shaozeng, who was "betting on treasure", was promoted to the commander of the Seventh Division of the army.
Fan Shaozeng was not only able to fight, but he also rapidly developed his gown power outside the army
Expanding his own mass base, which made Yang Sen, who was looking at him, worried, so Yang Sen plotted to kill Fan Shaozeng. Thanks to Fan Shaozeng's awareness, he slipped away one step ahead of time and turned to Liu Xiang.
In October 1928, Liu Wenhui was appointed by Chiang Kai-shek as the chairman of Sichuan Province, although he became the nominal king of Sichuan, but after all, not all the land in Sichuan was under his control, in order to further realize the dream of unifying the whole sichuan.
Liu Wenhui tried his best to win Fan Shaozeng over and bribed him with 500,000 yuan
However, Fan Shaozeng both received money and was loyal to the Lord, and informed Liu Xiang of the matter.
In order to honor Fan Shaozeng, Liu Xiang asked him to take this huge amount of money to Shanghai to relax. In order to carry out the tasks assigned by the leaders, Fan Shaozeng went to Shanghai to eat, drink and have fun as much as he could, and made friends with celebrities.
After he arrived in Shanghai,
Not only was he warmly entertained by Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin, the leaders of the Qing Gang, but he also became a closed disciple of Zhang Jinhu, the leader of the "Ren Society" of the underworld
In short, it is good to eat and drink, and to send guns and cannons, which can be described as enjoying the glory and wealth of the world.
Relying on his righteous spirit and improvisational mind, Fan Shaozeng not only realized the dream of becoming a promoted official and making a fortune, but also married a large number of wives and concubines, it is said that there are more than 40. In order to support these girls, he spent a huge amount of money to build a one across the road from the Chongqing Great Hall."
Fan edition of the Old Summer Palace
"The locals call it Fan Zhuang. Sure enough, it's not just for eating.
Fanzhuang is huge in scale, covering an area of as much as half a street
The whole manor looks like a huge garden villa, which has all the facilities for eating, drinking and entertainment, and the most bizarre thing is that Fan Shaozeng also opened a zoo inside, raising a lot of lions, tigers, brown bears and other large beasts, like a Rich Man in the Middle East.
When there was no military affairs in peacetime, Fan Shaozeng invited the Kuomintang military and political leaders in the circle of friends to come here for a vacation. In order to be able to continue to add officials to the knighthood and win the hearts of the people,
He also sent his favorite wife to accompany these high-ranking officials to chat and play, so as to open the door to promotion and wealth.
Although Fan Shaozeng was a man of great temperament, he was still more tolerant of his wives and concubines.
What the couple hates most is betrayal of each other, but Fan Shaozeng has won the favor of outsiders because of this.
One of his wives and concubines is a student sister, which is also normal, warlords, the sister is different from others. I studied at the Enlightened School in Chongqing, but the principal of the school was a young offspring, and over time, the good people came together. After Fan Shaozeng knew about this, he immediately arrested the two young men and prepared to severely punish them.
At this critical juncture, Fan Shaozeng's little wife read that this little concubine had been her own maid, and when she was a maid, she served well, so she invited two relatives to intercede for the young couple. Fan Shaozeng looked at the pleading expressions of the crowd, thinking about his first division leader, who was actually wearing a green hat by an unknown junior, and then thinking about the love of the husband and wife, he was also a hero of the jianghu, how could he be burdened by such family affairs, we could not plant on women for a lifetime.
After thinking about it again, a surprising decision was made:
He took this concubine as his own daughter, and held a wedding for her with beautiful scenery, fulfilled the pair of mandarin ducks with bitter fate, and also sent 5,000 oceans as dowry.
I have to say that Master Fan's move to reverse the situation has brought positive energy to himself directly covering the adverse effects caused by the concubine's cheating before, and the bad things have directly become great things.
His close neighbors and distant neighbors all saw the great benevolence and righteousness of Master Fan, and with his status as a soldier, Fan Shaozeng's move added another thick stroke to his colorful life.
After the defeat of the Great Revolution, the devils invaded China step by step, and Chiang Kai-shek did not think of jointly resisting Japan with the people of all nationalities throughout the country, but instead concentrated on realizing his ideal of "outside the country must first be at home", and vigorously encircled and suppressed the Red Army.
During this period, Fan Shaozeng, who had not yet turned back to the shore, did not fight less with the Red Army, but Fan Shaozeng, who paid the most attention to the righteousness of the jianghu in his life, was therefore increasingly at odds with the Chiang Kai-shek clique
Big is right and wrong, and turning back is the shore
Since Fan Shaozeng's troops were not Chiang Kai-shek's concubines, it was inevitable that they would eat the worst, use the worst, and work the hardest.
In Chiang Kai-shek's view, the lives of local troops are always the most despicable
Fan Shaozeng, who was in the midst of the anti-Japanese resistance, led the Sichuan army out of the mountains on the orders of the Nationalist government and achieved brilliant results in the battle with the Japanese army, which was the most brilliant moment in Fan Shaozeng's military career.
In 1937, on the eve of the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan,
Liu Xiang became increasingly dissatisfied with Fan Shaozeng's growth in strength, so he took advantage of He Yingqin's visit to Sichuan to adjust the troop establishment and demote Fan Shaozeng to the outside world
He was appointed deputy commander, but without the real power of the commanders, General Fan could only bear the burden of humiliation.
Later, when the July 7 Incident broke out, Fan Shaozeng saw that the country was broken and the Chinese people who had left their hometowns were starving and starving, but the Kuomintang was vying for power and profit, and then thinking about the cunning and plundering of the local people by the Sichuan Army for so many years, he was very guilty and ashamed, so he took the initiative to ask Miao to go to the front line to resist Japan.
Chiang Kai-shek, while encircling and suppressing the Red Army, also had to deal with the Japanese, and was worried that no one would worry about it, so he appointed him as the commander of the 88th Army of the Nationalist Army, but only a number, no personnel and equipment.
Fan Shaozeng had to return to Sichuan to recruit soldiers on his own, but thanks to the popularity and prestige accumulated in the weekdays, Fan Shaozeng recruited 4 regiments of soldiers in a short period of time
In order to do a good job in fighting against Japan, Fan Shaozeng went to Chongqing to consult Zhou Enlai. Zhou Enlai told him: "Your team is about to go to the anti-Japanese front, which shows that you are patriotic, and if you want to win victory, you must educate your soldiers and let them know who they are fighting for." ”
During the pre-war mobilization, he righteously said to the soldiers who were about to go out on the expedition:
"In the past, the expedition was to deal with its own compatriots, to fight civil wars with the warlords. The purpose of this expedition is to eliminate Japanese imperialism, for the sake of the country, for the sake of the people, and I will fight to the end for this forever. ”
In 1938, Fan Shaozeng led the 88th Army out of Sichuan to resist the war.
In the War of Resistance Against Japan, Fan Shaozeng fought in many provinces and defeated the Japanese army many times.
In August 1940, Fan Shaozeng and his troops fought fiercely against the arrogant Japanese army near Taihu Lake.
The Sichuan army fought bravely, defeated a squadron of Japanese troops, and annihilated hundreds of enemy troops.
The victory in the first battle greatly encouraged the anti-Japanese spirit of the Sichuan Army.
At the beginning of 1941, Fan Shaozeng's troops engaged the Japanese army in the Taihu Lake area, when the Anhui Incident occurred, and under the influence of this unfavorable condition, the Kuomintang became more and more passive in resisting the war.
When Fan Shaozeng learned of this incident, he still insisted on fighting the Japanese army.
He even sent a telegram to Gu Zhutong, who had a very good personal relationship, saying:
"At present, the great enemy is the first to unite, and there is no doubt that it is beneficial to Japan to make great internal moves."
While other Kuomintang troops were withdrawing from the battlefield in batches, the 88th Army of the Sichuan Army was not afraid to face the surging attack of the Japanese army
Fan Shaozeng constantly increased the morale of everyone, led the troops to the front, and launched a fierce battle with the Japanese army day and night, when the bullets ran out, the Sichuan army loaded a bayonet and the enemy to carry out a white-knife battle, after 3 days and nights of fighting, the Sichuan army did not fail in its mission, the Japanese army was completely defeated, and the morale of the Kuomintang frontal war was encouraged.
In 1942, in the Battle of Zhejiang Andang, the Japanese army concentrated more than 80,000 people, with the cooperation of naval and air forces, launched a comprehensive attack on the nationalist positions in the east, south and north, knowing that the weapons were inferior to the Japanese army, in order to cause greater casualties to the Japanese army, the Japanese army planted many mines in front of the position, so that the Japanese army paid a huge price in every step of the advance.
Faced with the strong strength of the Japanese army, Gu Zhutong, with the idea of preserving strength, moved most of the defensive 10th Army back, leaving the 88th Army to break the rear.
Faced with a 1:8 superiority in troops and a firepower advantage in the Japanese army, Fan Shaozeng chose to hold his position and buy time for the transfer of large troops
。 As soon as the war began, the positions of the nationalist army were under fire, like hell on earth. In the absence of rear support, the 88th Army engaged in a life-and-death battle with the Japanese army.
When the Sichuan army ran out of ammunition, it tied the grenades to their bodies one by one and died with the enemy. With the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice, the Japanese army was still unable to break through the defense line of the 88th Army despite taking full advantage.
On May 28, 1942, Fan Shaozeng set up a mine array and waited for the Japanese army to attack, and on the same day, Lieutenant General Sakai, the commander of the Japanese 15th Division, came to inspect the troops, and as a result, all the people accompanying him were blown up by mines. This is something that has never happened since the establishment of the Japanese Army.
The news soon spread to both home and abroad, and the prestige of the 88th Army was even more in the sky
Soon after this incident, the artillery of the 88th Army blew up a Japanese brigade commander into serious wounds, once again achieving impressive results, and the successive achievements of the 88th Army made the army adjusted by the Kuomintang to a first-class regiment, and the strength and equipment treatment were greatly improved.
Unfortunately, however, Fan Shaozeng's outstanding achievements made Gu Zhutong extremely jealous.
The Kuomintang troops did not want to see Fan Shaozeng's strength grow stronger and stronger, so they transferred him away in the form of bright ascension and dark descent
, gave a deputy commander of the 32nd Group Army, which had no real power.
The 88th Army was a unit personally organized and cultivated by Fan Shaozeng, and Fan Shaozeng had a deep affection for it, and seeing that the Kuomintang had repeatedly squeezed out difficulties, the indignant Fan Shaozeng went straight back to Sichuan and never came out again.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Fan Shaozeng was unwavering in the face of the Kuomintang's re-entrapment.
He gradually saw clearly the nature of the Kuomintang's self-interest, corruption and incompetence, and decided to do business, in fact, to provide cover for underground party members, and repeatedly sent a large number of materials to the People's Liberation Army.
On the eve of the victory in the Liberation War in 1949, the Kuomintang was defeated and stubbornly resisted in the southwest, and came to win Fan Shaozeng's life, but was rejected, and at the end of December, it declared an uprising to help the People's Liberation Army pacify the great southwest.
Liberation
Based on Fan Shaozeng's patriotic merits, the people's government recognized him as making outstanding contributions to the revolution
He was successively appointed to military positions such as counselor of the Central and Southern Military and Political Committee, and everyone called him Comrade Lao Fan
。 Later, he plunged into the sports industry and was appointed by the government as deputy director of the Henan Provincial Sports Committee and deputy to the Provincial People's Congress.
On March 5, 1977, fan Shaozeng, a distinguished "silly commander", died of illness at the age of 83.
epilogue
Fan Shaozeng's life seems to have a mixed reputation, but he is a man of morality and righteousness
Although the style of life was once relatively corrupt, in the end, it can consider the fate of the country and the nation, abandon the dark and cast the light, and can also be regarded as a hero of the revolution.
"The bitter sea is endless, and the turn back is the shore!" "Silly Commander" Fan Shaozeng is actually not stupid at all.
