Confucius advocated:
Cultivate oneself and rule the country and the world
。 For thousands of years, people with excellent qualities and personalities have been praised by everyone. Therefore, correcting oneself and cultivating good character have also become the goals pursued by many Chinese sons and daughters. Although the officials of the Kuomintang government, on the whole, showed a very corrupt temperament.
However, it is undeniable that there are also national generals with good personality and qualities in the revolution. Feng Qinzha was originally a general in the Kuomintang army, and on the eve of the liberation of Peiping, he launched an uprising and threw himself into the People's Liberation Army. After the founding of the country, he stubbornly took the name of "
Descending to the second lord is no personality
"For reasons, refused to be an official.
First, Feng Qinzha joined the army
Feng Qinzha would refuse to be an official, and say the reason that "the second lord of the general is no personality", which can be understood as having a very loyal quality, and can also be understood as,
He has a very stubborn and upright personality
。 It was all formed by him growing up.
In 1889, Feng Qinzha was born into a peasant family in Wanquan County, Shanxi Province.
The ancestors of the Feng family have been farmers for generations. Growing up in a simple and simple environment, Feng Qinya's personality has both a straightforward and frank side and a fiery and careless side.
In 1909, at the age of twenty, Feng Qinya joined the League and began to participate in the work of the democratic revolution. After the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, Feng Qinya returned to his hometown of Wanquan County to form a revolutionary armed force to support the revolutionary army.
After Yuan Shikai restored the imperial system, he joined the rebel army against Yuan Shikai.
In 1917, Feng Qinzha was invited by Yang Hucheng to join the Shaanxi Jingguo Army as a battalion commander. Because of his heroic performance in battle, he quickly gained the attention of Yang Hucheng.
He also became an important general in the Jingguo Army in Shaanxi.
Feng Qinzha was appreciated by Chiang Kai-shek during the Battle of Zhumadian in 1929.
The contradictions between Chiang Kai-shek and Feng Yuxiang intensified, and the two armies fought at Zhumadian.
Chiang Kai-shek ordered Yang Hucheng to assist in the battle. After receiving the order, Yang Hucheng asked Feng Qinya to lead the main force to participate in the battle.
After two days of fighting, Feng Qinzha led the army and successfully defeated his opponent.
Chiang Kai-shek, who was in command in the rear, was very happy when he learned of the battle situation. On the spot, a promotion order was issued to Feng Qinya, and he was rewarded with 20,000 yuan in cash. From this time on, Feng Qinya began to be valued by Chiang Kai-shek.
In 1936, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng launched a "military advisory" against Chiang Kai-shek in Xi'an.
Yang Hucheng originally wanted Feng Qinzhao to lead troops into the Tongguan area to prevent the Kuomintang Central Army from going to Xi'an
。 However, Feng Qinya rejected the offer.
And for this reason,
After the peaceful settlement of the "Xi'an Incident", Feng Qinzha was not implicated
。 Instead, they broke away from Yang Hucheng's forces and successfully belonged to Chiang Kai-shek's subordinates, directly obeying Chiang Kai-shek's orders. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Feng Qinzha led his troops to resist the Japanese army together with the Eighth Route Army in the mountainous area.
2. Promote the peaceful liberation of Peiping
When the civil war broke out, Feng Qinya, who had already been named a "second-class army general of the Republic of China",
He was appointed by Chiang Kai-shek as the deputy commander of the "Suppression General" in North China, and was stationed in Beiping together with Fu Zuoyi
。 After the Liaoshen Campaign and the Huaihai Campaign, the defeat of the Kuomintang army was irreparable. Shortly after the Battle of Huaihai broke out, the Battle of Pingjin also broke out.
After the courageous battle of the People's Liberation Army, on January 15, 1949, the Kuomintang troops in the Tianjin area were completely annihilated. The People's Liberation Army surrounded the Kuomintang troops stationed in Peiping. then
The Kuomintang generals who remained in Beiping were Fu Zuoyi, Feng Qinya, and Deng Baoshan.
In order to reduce the casualties and damage of the war, the people and building facilities in Beiping were protected
。 The party organization sent underground workers into Beiping to persuade Fu Zuoyi and others to stop the fighting and liberate Beiping through peaceful negotiations.
Seeing that Peiping was about to fall, Chiang Kai-shek sent a plane to pick up Feng Qinya and return to Nanjing. However, at this time, Feng Qinzha had already foreseen the fate of the Kuomintang government, and he refused to return to Nanjing. Instead, together with Fu Zuoyi, he participated in negotiations with the People's Liberation Army. ultimately
After three difficult negotiations, the two sides signed an agreement on the peaceful liberation of Peiping.
According to the agreement, on January 22, 1949, Feng Qinzha, Fu Zuoyi, and others ordered the withdrawal of all the Kuomintang troops in Beiping City and their integration into the ranks of the People's Liberation Army, accepting the reorganization and leadership of the People's Liberation Army.
On the 31st, Feng Qinya welcomed the People's Liberation Army into Beiping City.
The Battle of Pingjin, which lasted more than sixty days, ended in triumph with the peaceful liberation of Peiping.
After the peaceful liberation of Peiping, the Suiyuan region in the north was still garrisoned by Kuomintang troops.
After receiving Instructions from Chairman Mao, Feng Qinzha returned to Suiyuan with Fu Zuoyi to organize the army's uprising. It contributed to the peaceful liberation of the Suiyuan region.
Feng Qinya threw himself into the People's Liberation Army based on knowing the fate of the Kuomintang army. Although he no longer had hope for Chiang Kai-shek and the Kuomintang, he could not quickly accept the ideological ideas and leadership of the Party organizations.
His stubborn personality made him unable to adapt to the transformation from a general in the National Army to a general in the People's Liberation Army
。
Third, the stubborn Feng Qinya
All along, our army has pursued a policy of "preferential treatment of prisoners of war."
。 After the founding of New China, those prisoners of war who were captured on the battlefield needed to go to prison and undergo labor reform and ideological reform. Only after the reform is qualified can they be pardoned.
As for generals like Fu Zuoyi and Feng Qinya, who took the initiative to surrender, the central authorities also gave them great preferential treatment. Because it contributed to the peaceful liberation of Peiping and Suiyuan,
Fu Zuoyi was appointed by the Central Committee as a member of the People's Government and minister of water resources.
Deng Baoshan was also appointed as a member of the National Defense Commission.
Since Fu Zuoyi and Deng Baoshan both held official positions in the government, they would certainly not forget Feng Qinya, who was with them.
When the central government told Feng Qinya that he wanted to be given an official position, he voluntarily refused.
At first, he was reluctant to say why he refused. Under many questions, Feng Qinya gave a reason that made everyone feel a bit headache. Feng Qinzha said:
I don't want to be this official. Descending to the second lord, this is a manifestation of no personality.
The stubbornness that Feng Qinya showed at this time made the central government feel that he had a very negative attitude.
After that, the Central Committee did many ideological work on Feng Qinya, and Feng Qinya's friends also came to persuade him. ultimately
He agreed to join the Committee of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee and became a member of the Social Branch of the Beijing Civil Revolutionary Committee.
4. Summary
Maintaining the pursuit of a good personality and character is a good thing
。 Sometimes, however, you have to learn to be flexible. Stubbornly insisting on "loyalty" to backward ideas and things will not only not bring benefits, but will cause great trouble to the current life.
Feng Qinzha refused to be an official in the government on the grounds that "the second master of the general is demoted, that is, there is no personality".
It is a kind of foolish loyalty, a stubborn prejudice. Fortunately, with the help of the organization, he changed this thinking.
