What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
The Jin Sui Army is a faction created by the great warlords of Yan Xishan in the Republic of China, and it is also a local force that has survived for a long time, and Lao Yan has always been the leader of this faction, sitting in Shanxi for 38 years, which is unparalleled among the warlords of the Republic of China.
Then, as the Emperor of Shanxi Tu, Yan Xishan, "who" is his successor, not his son, nor his beloved General Yang Aiyuan, but "Liang Huazhi", a young man in Shanxi, who is regarded as Yan Xishan's successor.
Liang Huazhi, a native of Shijiawan Village, Dingxiang County, Shanxi Province, he is Yan Xishan's cousin, graduated from Shanxi University, with this relationship with Yan Xishan, after graduation in Yan Xishan Group as a confidential secretary, although his status at that time can not be compared with Yang Aiyuan, Xu Yongchang, Shang Zhen and others, but in the young generation of the Jin Army, Liang Huazhi is definitely a leader, a dazzling star.
Liang Huazhi's ambition fully demonstrates a young man's love of profession and desire for power, he is loyal to Yan Xishan, and Yan Xishan is also very important, and let him participate in confidential events, and also step by step into the power center of Yan Xishan's group, and gradually become an emerging active figure of Yan Xishan Group, and was also rated as a young leader in Shanxi by Mr. Zhao Daiwen at that time, and Yan Xishan also cultivated him as a successor.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Liang Huazhi organized many times in Shanxi to mobilize young people to participate in the cause of the War of Resistance, and he also served as an officer, becoming the leader of the young generation of the Jin Army, and also adding chips to his future career, because these young people later held important positions in various departments of the Jin Army.
This is also why after the victory of the War of Resistance, Liang Huazhi simultaneously mastered the three major systems of the Political Department of the Jin Army, the Comrades' Association, and the Secret Service Organization, and became a prominent figure in the Jin Army. But this scenery did not last long.
After the outbreak of the Liberation War, Xu Shuai, a famous general of our army who was in charge of liberating Shanxi at that time, under his wise command, successively attacked Yuncheng, removed the Jinnan barrier of Yan Xishan, and linfen and other important cities in Shanxi, and defeated the Jin army. In addition, at this time, the situation in the national liberation war was very clear, the defeat of the Nationalist army was decided, and Yan Xishan also began to consider his own retreat, so Xu Yongchang in Nanjing thought of a way to let Li Zongren transfer him to Nanjing, pretending to have important matters to discuss, and within a few days, Yan Xishan received an invitation from Li Zongren. Yan Xishan left his hometown, and when he left, he also designated Liang Huazhi, Sun Chu, and others to form a small group of five people to preside over all affairs and let them carry out the final resistance.
On the morning of April 24, 1949, our army invaded Taiyuan, bent on filial piety to Yan Xishan, liang Huazhi committed suicide by taking poison, including Yan Xishan's cousin Yan Huiqing, and let the guards prepared in advance set themselves on fire.
At this time, Yan Xishan, who was in Nanjing, was also very sad to learn the cause of their deaths. In particular, the death of Yan Wujie (Yan Huiqing) hit Yan Xishan very hard, and according to rumors, the two had an improper relationship, and it is not known whether it is true or not.
