At the end of the Qing Dynasty, a team of bandits with the character "faith" appeared in the north of the Rehe River, they did nothing evil, killing people and setting fires were not less, which made the local people complain and hate them even more. At that time, the leader of this notorious team was Li Shouxin.
If it were not for the chaotic times, the central government was caught in factional strife and had no time to take care of the Rehe bandits, and Li Shouxin and other evil bandits would have been ordered by the central authorities to be suppressed long ago. But who called Li Shouxin lucky! At this time, the struggle for power between Yuan Shikai's Beiyang and Sun Yat-sen's Kuomintang was a secret struggle and endless struggle, and no one would care about this small bandit plague that occurred in the distant Rehe River far away from the capital, after all, compared with the temptation of the central power, this bandit plague was simply not enough to interest those upper-level bigwigs. This led to the situation in which Li Shouxin had been rampant in Rehe for several years but was safe and sound.
However, a bandit is always a bandit, even if he is strong, he can never compete with the regular army, once he is targeted by the regular army, there is no possibility of fighting back, even if it is a powerful bandit like Zhang Zuolin, in the end, will not he honestly accept the solicitation of the local government of the three eastern provinces? Of course, no one wants to be a bandit all their life, and everyone wants to turn around and sing and become an official.
Therefore, Li Shouxin, who had been committing misdeeds in Rehe for several years, finally went to the road of being appeased, accepted the incorporation of Zhang He, the commander of the Rehe guerrilla horse brigade, and transformed from bandit into a regular army of the local government of Rehe, becoming a battalion commander who was not big or small.
However, sins can be eliminated, nature is difficult to change, Li Shouxin is not a good lord after all, even if he wears official clothes, it is difficult for him to change his bandit nature, and it is even more intense. Wearing this official uniform, Li Shouxin was not thinking about protecting the border and the people, but about the fox and the tiger, and using this official uniform, Li Shouxin was blatantly oppressing the people near the garrison, and because of his identity, the people dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.
Sighing helplessly, Li Shouxin and other evildoers, in the prosperous world, have long been slashed by a thousand knives, but this is a chaotic world, a chaotic world is respected by strength, as long as you have strength, even if you kill a thousand people, kill ten thousand people, no one will pursue you for half a point.
This is a chaotic world, treating human life as grass!
In 1933, the evildoer Li Shouxin once again did something that made posterity shameful, even hateful, and when the Japanese invaded Rehe, he fell without a fight and became a very shameful traitorous lackey. I think it is also true who Li Shouxin is, to put it bluntly, he is a mercenary lord, in his heart there is no national righteousness, some are just glory and wealth, he does not care who the object of allegiance is, whether it is a foreign enemy or a traitor, as long as anyone can give him wealth, he will follow, so he will not care how the world evaluates him.
In this way, when the Japanese Kou arrived, Li Shouxin surrendered without a fight, became a pawn of the Japanese Kou to control China with China, and became a pseudo-Rehe guerrilla commander.
Until the unconditional surrender of the Japanese in 1945, Li Shouxin was the vice chairman of the autonomous government of the Puppet Mongol League, the commander-in-chief of the puppet Mongol Army, and the second big traitor in the Mongolian region. Of course, as we said just now, Li Shouxin is a lord who has milk and is a mother, and he will not put his life in one basket, let alone be sincerely loyal to Japan after becoming a traitor. To put it bluntly, he is using Japan to strengthen his own strength, and then to grab the greatest benefit for himself.
At that time, when the Japanese Kou let him attack Duolun, he and Feng Yuxiang went back and forth and co-starred in a story of "borrowing Jingzhou", hoping to establish a relatively good relationship with the National Government and make plans for his future.
In fact, the follow-up development proves that Li Shouxin is right! On August 15, 1945, after japan's surrender, Li Shouxin was able to go to Chongqing to meet Chiang Kai-shek, and once again completed a magnificent transformation, from a traitor to a central government army, from the commander-in-chief of the pseudo-Mongol army to the "commander-in-chief of the 10th Route Army".
I have to say that the heavenly way is unfair, the chaotic bandits become officials, the enemy becomes friendly, it is so simple, as long as you have the strength and know how to meet the source left and right, no matter how evil you are, you also have to become "kind" one day.
Of course, heaven is fair, and in 1950 Li Shouxin was imprisoned by our party in Beijing prison, which was 15 years, and it was not until 1964 that he was pardoned and released from prison.
