We read all the lead to present a different history.
The Republic of China period is a period of war and chaos, warlords everywhere rose up to rule over one side to exploit the people, today, when it comes to the warlords of the Republic of China period, it is difficult for anyone to admire them, in the hands of those people, they are more or less stained with the blood of many people, the times create heroes, some warlords although very cruel, but at some critical moments, they still have a lot of inner persistence, such as Wu Peifu who would rather die than vote for the Japanese.
In 1924, Wu Peifu's power reached its peak, and he also appeared in the American "Time" magazine as "The Strongest in China", and with the passage of time, the warlord gradually became the yellow flower of yesterday, and Wu Peifu also had to step down and end his military career.
After the September 18 incident, Zhang Xueliang retreated to Beijing, and when Wu Peifu learned of it, he blocked him at home and scolded him, "You don't repay the national vendetta, you don't report the family vendetta, your father's coffin board is all erected" Zhang Xueliang was powerful at that time, but in the face of such an old warlord, he was still a generation shorter" Yu Shuai was right, I humiliated my father, not not to fight, but to fight" "Now that I am here, the strength is enough, the strength of the soldiers is nothing more than a dead word"!
After the establishment of puppet Manchuria, the Japanese Kwantung Army urgently needed a puppet, they set their sights on Wu Peifu's body, the Japanese secret agent Toihara Kenji sent people to tell Wu Peifu "ask for money to give money, guns to guns, help you make a comeback" Wu Peifu did not say anything, picked up the bench and smashed it on the Japanese.
When the all-out War of Resistance broke out and Peiping fell, Wu Peifu insisted on not leaving; when the Japanese saw this, they drew him in again; Wu Peifu held a press conference, and in front of reporters from all sides, he said a word, which still makes people awe-inspiring, "If you want to talk, you Japanese people can get out of China" In this regard, the Japanese once again mourned and left.
In the eyes of the Japanese, Wang Jingwei is the strongest person in the political arena, and Wu Peifu is the strongest person in the military, the best, can unite the two of them, so that they have a great advantage in building a co-prosperity circle, after Wang Jingwei surrendered, at the request of the Japanese, he came to Beijing as a lobbyist to ask Wu Peifu to be a traitor, Wu Peifu did not see him at all, and said to outsiders, "Whoever cooperates with Wang Jingwei, he will be degraded."
National integrity, it can be seen that in the end, Wu Peifu paid the price of life, in 1939, Wu Peifu ate mutton dumplings, injured his gums, the Japanese learned of it, forced to treat him, the Japanese doctor just left, Wu Peifu died, the world knows that the Japanese killed him.
After Wu Peifu's death, the Nationalist government held a state funeral for him, and Chiang Kai-shek personally sent a banglian to "see the lonely city at sunset, never return to the grand ambition, the wind thinks of the fierce, and it is difficult to pity the People of Si in all directions." "Wu Peifu, the most admirable warlord of the Republic of China.
