At the end of the Liberation War, Lu Han, who had the title of the last "King of Yunnan", set off a huge uprising at that time, and the number of soldiers he led had reached 60,000. It was under such circumstances that this place in Yunnan did not shed any blood, nor did it produce any smoke of gunfire, and liberation was already ushered in. It was this process that shortened the timeline of the war of liberation a lot. However, in the process of liberating Yunnan this time, although this big man made great contributions to the establishment, he also made a very important mistake. This mistake caused dissatisfaction in the central organization, but after a series of considerations, the chairman stood in the perspective of the overall situation and directly said: Don't pursue it, right? This makes people wonder what kind of mistake this big man of the Dian Army has made, and why did the chairman say such words?
Before Lu Han came to this place, the military and political system that controlled Yunnan, that is, the first-class general of the Kuomintang army, was named Long Yun. Just after the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Chiang Kai-shek directly emptied the power held by Long Yun at that time, which meant that he only had an empty title and had no strength at all. And he himself, who had no personal freedom at all, was put under house arrest. At this time, some people wondered, so where did the main force of the warlord who originally guarded this place go? In fact, he was sent directly to the northeast region in order to set off a huge civil war. However, at that time, the strength of our army was still increasing, and it had firmly grasped the overall military and political situation in Yunnan. At that time, Lu Han was a relatively important leader of the Dian army. It is indeed very effective for him to win people's hearts and minds in the local area and consolidate his rule.
This is already a very obvious thing, that is, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to consolidate the Dominance of the Kuomintang in Yunnan through Lu Han, although Lu Han had the position of provincial chairman at that time, but in the final analysis, it was only nominal, and the military power he held in his hands was completely non-existent, not to mention that the main forces at that time had already been sent to the northeast region. This means that from this point of view at the military level, it is completely impossible to pose any threat to Chiang Kai-shek's rule. However, Chiang Kai-shek did not think at all at that time that although Lu Han was a warrior, he was a particularly scheming person. In order to consolidate his rule and make the development of this part of Yunnan more clear, he began to re-recruit troops in this part of Yunnan. At that time, the banner of the security army was also used, the purpose of which was to allow Chiang Kai-shek to put aside the doubts in his heart.
After several years of gaining momentum, by the end he had recruited more than 60,000 soldiers. It can be seen from here that the number of people is still relatively large, but in the process of marching and fighting and uprising, in addition to the number of soldiers, weapons and equipment are also very important. However, the weapons and equipment owned by this group of people organized by Luhan are indeed relatively poor, because there is indeed a great dilemma in terms of funding, and he does not have real power in his hands. At that time, Luján had only one idea, that is, to wait for a particularly good time, and then launch a mutiny. In the process of waiting, he was also constantly expanding his strength, and at that time, Lu Han set his sights on our side.
As early as 1945, Lu Han had successfully replaced Long Yun and sat in this position of Long Yun. But in fact, the relationship between the two of them is relatively good in private, and they also have relatives. With the help of his good friends, Long Yun also succeeded in getting rid of Chiang Kai-shek's rule and jurisdiction, and he has also gained freedom. At this time, Long Yun came to this place in Hong Kong. Just like when the Liberation War was coming to an end, the Kuomintang army was indeed relatively decadent, and the trend of development was constantly declining. The communication and contact between Long Yun and Lu Han at that time was also gradually frequent, and many uprisings in Yunnan were directed by the two of them. In the second half of 1949, there were many places that were completely out of Chiang Kai-shek's control, so if Chiang Kai-shek wanted to make a comeback at this time, the dilemma he faced was still relatively large, not to mention that Sichuan and Yunnan were very important places that guaranteed the rear area. In this place, in the process of arranging his troops, he arranged many senior generals and many important members of the national army.
For example, Zhang Qun was called a veteran in the Kuomintang army, but in order to make Chiang Kai-shek value himself when he was defeated. He even wanted to set up a government office in Chongqing, so judging from the situation at that time, the activities in the southwest region were relatively frequent. And Zhang Qun became the main person captured by our army, just before the Luhan Uprising, at that time, for our army, if we wanted to capture Zhang Qun, we still had corresponding advantages. However, the relationship between Zhang Qun and Lu Han is relatively good, just like in the early years of recruitment, Zhang Qun also provided a lot of help to Lu Han. Even thanks to his help, Lu Han was able to save a life, not calculated by Li Zongren. It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Qun simply had a life-saving grace for Lu Han.
In the case of the situation, Luján was still in an awkward position, and he had already made up his mind to revolt at that time. Then, in order not to embarrass Zhang Qun in Yunnan, he made a bold decision at that time, that is, to leave a way for Zhang Qun to live. Although many people on our side have also reminded Lu Han, including Lu Han's subordinates, again and again, telling them that Zhang Jin is indeed an important war criminal, if he encounters it, he must not let go. However, Lu Han was naturally grateful for his savior, so at that time he resolutely let him go in private. It should be known that this person is an important member of the monarch, and Luhan did not obtain our consent at all when he made this move, which is an unauthorized decision.
The uprising launched in Yunnan has indeed won a huge victory, and at the same time, some people say that the details of this uprising and the final results achieved are more than enough. But for Luján, since he had already started an uprising at that time, it meant that his identity and his front were already on our side. This is also a combat general on our side, but he violated military discipline and secretly released the number one person arrested first, which means that it is not a very small matter. Just like Zhang Qun, before he was released by Lu Han, he had promised that it would be impossible to continue to contribute to Chiang Kai-shek, nor could he continue to engage in politics. It was precisely because Zhang Qun kept a cool head at that time and kept writing letters to Lu Han that Lu Han remembered his past feelings. At that time, Lu Han saw Zhang Qun, and after this time he vomited his true feelings, he was indeed moved. And he also remembered that he had been helped by Zhang Qun before, and now he was detaining Zhang Qun, which was indeed against morality. However, if he is released in private, he will violate the corresponding regulations, and at that time he may also be punished. Although these two thoughts were constantly lingering in Luhan's mind, in the end, after weighing the pros and cons, Luohan still made a serious decision, that is, to let him go directly.
But in the end, the promises Zhang Qun made at that time were indeed empty talk. Because he finally fled to Taiwan and continued to become Chiang Kai-shek's subordinate. From this point of view, LuHan's momentary softness at that time was indeed a particularly big mistake, and it was also a big regret. For Zhang Qun personally, he also knew that before he left Yunnan, Lu Han was risking his life, even greater than his life, to help him escape. It is precisely for this reason that Zhang Qun once sighed that in his lifetime, he only had such a friend as Lu Han.
Of course, in the process of these things happening, there is still a detail that cannot be ignored. Just as in the list of first-class war criminals announced at the time, there was a man named Dai Jitao who chose to commit suicide in February 1949. Du Yuming, who was captured in the Battle of Huaihai, was also a number one war criminal. But the rest seem to have been completely unsuccessfully arrested. Therefore, people like Zhang Qun, if they are discovered, are naturally impossible to be released.
However, Lu Han did such a thing in private at that time, and according to military discipline, he was indeed punished accordingly, so it made the central government and the corresponding leaders feel particularly resentful. After such a thing happens, it is naturally unpleasant for the chairman and the prime minister, but in order to make the work of the united front more smoothly carried out, but also to make everyone work together. Even more so that these officers and soldiers of the Yunnan uprising could be appeased in their hearts, the chairman said at that time that he would not pursue it. And the chairman at that time with a keen eye and insight, let Lu Han continue to preside over the overall situation of Yunnan. I have to say that with the efforts made by Luján, we have also been reused. At the same time, through this incident, we can also see the inclusiveness of our party, and at the same time, we can also see the broad mind of the leaders of our army. And when dealing with problems, we can also see the meticulousness and comprehensiveness of the leaders' considerations.
