In the mid-1920s, the most vicious words of swearing in the countryside of Pingyi and Fei county, shandong, China, were not curses on each other's parents' ancestral homes, let alone analogies with livestock, but two sentences without a little dirty words
"You are Liu Heiqi" "You are Liu Jun".
Liu Heiqi and Liu Junjun are the same person, this person's original name is Liu Guitang, born of a poor and ordinary couple in Fei County, Linyi City, Shandong Province. Liu Guitang himself did not have any background, and when he was young, he had a very difficult life, and his father was so poor that he did not have enough to support the family and died.
Liu Guitang followed his mother Wang Dazu through eight years of begging life, not enough to eat, clothing and warmth, living is a problem, where is the mind to do bad things? Even become synonymous with swearing?
Liu Guitang has not had a good day since he was born, and he was forced to grow up by life before he had time to give birth to edges and corners at the bottom of society. The years of suffering gave him the opportunity to sharpen his will, and also made him more sensible and sleek than children of his age.
Unfortunately, Liu Guitang did not use his cleverness in the right place, and in his early teens, he fought fiercely with the local hooligans who were not far from his age. Later, at the instigation of Liu Guitang, this gang even developed into a nest of domineering small bandits.
At that time, when the edifice of the Qing Dynasty was about to fall, the country was in turmoil, and the law was even more useless in that ravine.
Liu Guitang was afraid of his hard life, and he urgently needed a lot of materials to fill the emptiness in his heart. He did everything the bandits did, and he did what the bandits did not dare to do. After the complete demise of the Qing Dynasty, Liu Guitang was even more of a way to burn and loot money. At that time, there was still a saying among the bandits:
"Spend money, follow Liu Tuan; follow Liu Tuan everywhere, and don't change for a county magistrate."
This gang of bandits first attacked the villagers, strengthened their own pockets, and began to shamelessly erect the banner of "robbing the rich and helping the poor", claiming that they only ate large households. However, Liu Guitang, who became the leader of the bandits, snatched from the east to the west, from the north to the south, no matter how big or small, he ate everything. Even the people in the famine areas he did not spare, without money and goods, he used his daughter to arrive, and Liu Guitang, who used despicable means to destroy humanity, forced several villages to extinction.
According to the "Fei County Chronicle", since the mid-1920s, Liu Heiqi has been running amok in half of China for more than 20 years, and more than 200,000 people have been innocently victimized. From 1925 to 1928, there were more than 1,000 villages in the Yimeng Mountains alone that were plundered by Liu Hei's Seven Bandits, burning more than 200,000 houses and killing more than 12,000 people.
Liu Guitang amassed a large amount of wealth and wandered around to deal with various cattle, ghosts, and snake gods. His power grew day by day, and later he even had more than 10,000 troops. No longer satisfied with his status as a bandit, Liu Guitang began his long road of defection. Following He Yingqin, Liu Guitang became a division commander, followed Yan Xishan and became a military commander, and under Song Zheyuan, he also became the commander of the Chadong bandits.
His life creed is that if you have milk, you will be a mother, and if you have money, you will recognize your father. At that time, the eyes that were often squinting had long been blocked by the word interest.
In 1943, the 142nd Division of the Nationalist 92nd Army arrived in southern Shandong. At that time, Liu Guitang also set off for his hometown, and while harassing the people with the Japanese Kou in the area of his hometown of Guoquan, he informed the Ninety-second Army that he would personally lead the troops to meet him.
However, the situation on the battlefield was ever-changing, and the Ninety-second Army was defeated by the Japanese at the Battle of Songlin and had to leave Lunan. As soon as the results of the battle arrived, Liu Guitang did not hesitate to immediately and publicly surrender to the Japanese Kou, and was organized into the Third Division of the Tenth Army of the Pseudo Peace Salvation Army, becoming the "Commander of the Double Material Division."
Liu Guitang did nothing evil and seemed to be not afraid of retribution. Liu Guitang's 12th youngest wife, Su Qian, revealed that Liu Guitang himself was actually very superstitious about gods and ghosts, and even had to count the days of fighting. According to Liu Guitang's origin and living environment, it is not difficult to understand, but the strange thing is that he does not have a sense of awe. Without culture, Liu Guitang, who is illiterate in large characters, seems to just want to rely on metaphysics to seek psychological comfort.
Su Qian, who was also born in the countryside, was different, su Qian, who was good-looking when she was young, was forcibly abducted by Liu Guitang. From the initial vigorous resistance to the later insistence on not bowing to Liu Guitang for a long time, it can be seen that Su Qian's education level is not high, but she is very self-aware. But at that time, the status of women was really humble, and even the best wives could not persuade the self-interested and obsessed men.
Liu Guitang robbed all the way and married all the way, when the people said that he had married 81 wives.
There are 81 wives, and the number of wives and concubines of ancient emperors is no more than that. At that time, the men who were still influenced by the idea of feudal imperialism were all a little powerful, afraid that they were secretly poking and poking at the emperor's dreams, and the Sichuan warlord Yang Sen, who was briefly talked about by the author before, was the same as this Shandong bandit with military power.
They dream of being emperors, but they don't have the ability to realize it, because they are not the people's hearts and minds, and as we all know, those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world. As for Yang Sen and Liu Guitang, they are violent and vicious and enemies of the people, not to mention the people's hearts, even his wife's heart cannot be kept.
Look at people with their eyes, and look at their wives with their hearts. However, his Heart of Liu Guitang had long been filled with money and softness, and the only thing in his heart was Wang Dazu, the mother-in-law who had been dependent on him since childhood. Just such a pair of eyes and where can he see dozens of people every day, not to mention that he Liu Bandit is busy exploiting the people, where he is willing to stare at a bunch of wives at home. So Liu Guitang thought of an idea: let his subordinates look after his daughter-in-law for him.
Friends who have learned the story of Han Fuqu, the king of the Green Hat in Shandong, must have guessed the ending when they saw this, the so-called day and night defense against "family thieves" is difficult to prevent, these guards are so "guarding and stealing". Although Liu Guitang said that he only coveted beauty and did not have a real feeling for these wives, this kind of thing really made his face hang.
Once, Liu Guitang's mother Wang Dazu celebrated his birthday, Liu Guitang put on a feast, the guests attending the banquet were endless, and the birthday gifts on the shou hall were also quite rich. Wang Dazu had suffered for most of his life, and now he was naturally happy to face his son's filial piety.
However, Liu Guitang did not restrain his bad taste at his mother's birthday feast, and he ordered someone to bring a few large wooden boxes, so that his wives and concubines and children would kowtow to Wang Dazu, and the prostrations would be given silver dollars, and more and more would be given.
When the prostrations in front of The Shou Tang came and went, Liu Guitang's eyes suddenly froze as he pointed to a kneeling son and said:
"You're not my son, you don't look like me at all."
When everyone heard this, they were shocked and suspicious, and they were afraid that Liu Guitang would lose his temper and take them to suffer, and they wondered how Liu Guitang was so sure that his son was not his own child, this was not an occasion for casual jokes, his own mother was still sitting next to him.
It turned out that Liu Guitang was like a mirror of his own situation, these dozens of wives had married and killed, and he didn't know how many were left. He has no feelings for them, does not trust them, and is even more funny about these "sons and daughters" who shout about their fathers but can't even distinguish their appearance.
Facts have proved that Liu Guitang's self-disclosure behavior on that day was indeed not crazy, and after his death, none of his wives came out and said that the child they gave birth to was Liu Guitang's. We don't know what the truth is, but after Liu Guitang was killed on November 15, 1943, the weeds in front of his grave were really no longer cared for by future generations.
