After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, various parts of our country were occupied by warlords, and these people fought outside the country for many years in order to compete for the so-called territory, which brought suffering to the masses at that time.
And these great warlords, their territorial consciousness is particularly serious, each of them in their turf to claim the king and hegemony.
Today we will talk to you about one of the great warlords, he is the last Yunnan king Lu Han.
Lu Han was a Yi child born in 1895, and he was a cousin of the previous Yunnan wang Longyun.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1937, Long Yun decided to send the Dian Army to fight against the Japanese army, and before the army went out, the Dian Army was reorganized into the 60th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and Luo Han became the supreme commander of this army.
After Lu Han led a large army out of Yunnan, it can be said that the troops in Yunnan Province were very empty, so the Japanese army landed from Vietnam and took the opportunity to pose a threat to Yunnan.
Faced with such a situation, Lu Han fully demonstrated his achievements in military warfare, and he immediately led his troops back to Yunnan and commanded the strength of his two divisions to fight against the local student army in Yunnan.
Eventually, under the command of Lu Han, although Japanese imperialism entered Yunnan, Yunnan did not become a occupied area.
For Luhan, one thing he will never forget: In 1945, after the Japanese army announced its surrender, Luhan, as the supreme commander of the Vietnam Theater, led the Dian Army to the Vietnamese region to accept the surrender of Japanese imperialism.
For Luhan, this event was unforgettable for a lifetime, he established his prestige in the army, and at the same time he had his own concubine troops.
In this way, on September 8, 1945, Lu Han led nearly 200,000 Dian troops into the Vietnamese region, accepted the surrender of more than 30,000 Japanese troops in the Vietnamese region, and successfully captured more than 100 war criminals.
After entering Vietnam this time, it can be said that it was a major turning point in Lu Han's life, after he brought 200,000 palace troops into Vietnam, the rear of Yunnan was empty.
Chiang Kai-shek put Long Yun under house arrest in Nanjing and relieved Him of all his duties, thus formally stepping down.
Subsequently, Lu Han was appointed chairman of the Yunnan provincial government by Chiang Kai-shek, and in this way, Lu Han began to grasp the military power in Yunnan for four years, so in history, Lu Han was known as the last king of Yunnan.
Then the Kuomintang Civil War broke out, and in 1949, with the defeat of the Kuomintang troops, Chiang Kai-shek led his wife, children, and his cronies to flee to Taiwan, and since then, the form of Yunnan has become very delicate.
After Long Yun stepped down, he went to Hong Kong with the help of a friend, that is, in 1949, Long Yun sent a telegram in Hong Kong announcing that Yunnan had revolted, but at this time Long Yun was no longer the ruler of Yunnan.
Therefore, when Long Yun sent a telegram to revolt, it can also be said to be a prelude, which is a hint to his cousin Lu Han.
In December 1949, Lu Han officially announced in Yunnan Province that after the Luhan Uprising, Yunnan Province was completely liberated.
After the Luhan Uprising, he put all the assets of the family on a list and gave it all to the party organization, thus showing his determination to make a comprehensive break with the past.
As the last king of Yunnan, After his uprising, Lu Han was appointed as the director of the Yunnan Military and Political Committee, and in this way Lu Han continued to hold the military and political power in Yunnan.
In 1954, Lu Han was transferred from yunnan to Beijing, and Lu Han became the assistant of Marshal He Long.
In his later years, Luhan devoted himself to promoting cross-strait reunification of the motherland until 1974, when he died of liver cancer, at the age of 79.
Up to now, although Luhan has been dead for nearly 50 years, his great contributions to our Party and our people are indelible, and the Party and the country will not forget his motherland and people, let alone him.
Although Lu Han was a warlord in Yunnan at that time, he had always been wholeheartedly doing things for his hometown and had never maimed any people in his hometown.
In the face of the Liberation War, Lu defended the unity of the country and could lay down his power and hand over the Yunnan region to the motherland. It can be said that Luján is a well-deserved national hero.
Throughout Lu Han's life, every action is worthy of the words Chinese soldiers, and at the same time, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Lu Han also made outstanding contributions and immortal merits to the political, economic, cultural, educational and other aspects of the development of Yunnan.
After his uprising, he was always concerned about the issue of Taiwan's sovereignty, and his life can be said to be an example for the social warlords at that time
