Guo Songling's rebellion against Feng was a major event in the Republic of China, and its impact was fourfold: First, it interrupted Fengzhi's plan to dominate the world; second, the warlord model of relying on righteousness became obsolete; third, Zhang Zuolin, who suppressed rebellion, completely offended the Japanese because he rebelled; fourth, the young marshal lost his greatest reliance, so that after taking power, he was politically weak, militarily weak, and organizationally unprepared. Why does Guo have to risk the world? Although there are some revolutionary feelings, the main thing is that the villain's ambition is rampant.
Guo Songling, also known as Mao Chen, was born in 1883 in Zhao Jiapu Village, Dongling District, Shenyang, and is a descendant of Guo Ziyi of the Tang Dynasty. His father, Guo Fuxing, was a private school teacher who took him to school since childhood. When the Russo-Japanese War broke out and people fell everywhere, he felt bitterly that only by joining the army could he save the country. In 1905, under the sponsorship of his distant aunt, he was admitted to the Fengtian Army Accelerated School.
After graduation, he served as a sentry commander in the army commander Zhu Qinglan's guard, entered Sichuan with the troops, befriended Cheng Qian, Fang Shengtao, etc., and also became an early member of the League. During the road protection movement, the battalion commander Guo Songling refused to have a bloody conflict and was dismissed by Zhao Erfeng. Soon after, Sichuan became independent, and Zhu Qinglan became the deputy governor of the military government, but was quickly expelled from the bureau by the locals.
Guo Songling had to return to Fengtian and participate in the uprising led by Zhang Rong, and after being arrested, he was sent to the execution ground to be executed. Han Shuxiu, a confidant of the red face, risked his life to stop the execution car, saved his life, and married him. In 1912, Guo Songling was admitted to the Institute of Beijing General School, studied for 3 years, and achieved impressive results, and was hired as an instructor. During the Dharma Protection Movement, Zhu Qinglan, then the governor of Guangdong Province, pulled him south to help and had many contacts with Sun Yat-sen.
After the defeat, Guo Songling returned to his hometown and worked as an instructor in the Army Lecture Hall of the Three Eastern Provinces, during which time, he met a spark with Zhang Xueliang and became a friend of Mo Rebellion, who was also a teacher and a friend. After Guo rebelled, the grand marshal once scolded: "Guo Devilzi, this king eight lambs!" Before, he came to Shenyang, carrying a duffel bag, two tea bowls, one of which had not yet been put. The little sixth son said that he was a talent, so I gave two thousand oceans at a time to give him a home, but I didn't expect to raise a white-eyed wolf. ”
The First Zhifeng War broke out, and the Feng army was completely defeated, and only the Third Brigade and the Eighth Brigade under the command of Guo Songling defeated Wu Peifu at Shanhaiguan to save the Feng dynasty from collapsing. Since then, Zhang Xueliang has said before and after: "I am Mason, and Mason is me." But Guo was not pleased. Once, he took Zhang Zongchang to open the knife, and the voice of the mother was incessant. Who knew that Zhang Zongchang knelt down and said, You lady, you are my father! ”
In the autumn of 1924, when Zhifeng started the second attack, Guo Songling led the Third Army to the greatest merit, but when it came to the merits and rewards, he did not get the overseers to do it, which led to a different heart. The following year, he went to Japan to visit Qiu Cao, and through Han Fuyu, secretly communicated with the Northwest Army, determined to take Zhang Zuolin and replace him. On the evening of November 21, Guo Songling sent a telegram to put forward three major proposals against civil war, going down to the wilderness, and reform.
The next day, Guo Songling swore an oath in Luanzhou to oppose the worship, Zhang Xueliang did not believe the rumor at all, ran to a farmhouse to meet him, and could not be persuaded at all. During this period, Guo also killed Jiang Dengxuan, who was passing through Luanzhou, which was greatly disappointed. At first, the situation was overwhelming, but soon the rebels were embattled. One was that Feng Yuxiang broke the treaty and rushed to attack Tanggu; another ally, Li Jinglin, was anxious and withheld Guo's winter clothes and equipment;
Second, they encountered a rare heavy snow, and most of the soldiers were frostbitten; third, Zhang Xueliang issued leaflets calling on the Northeast Army not to fight the Northeast Army; fourth, the Japanese blocked the route to Fengtian; finally, the Eight Old Ladies of the Fengzhi Department were too old and spicy, burning granaries and bomb medicine depots, guobu collapsed, Guo Songling and his wife were caught in a vegetable cellar, Tang Huzi was afraid of daily dreams, and directly hinted that his men were shot on the spot, at the age of 42.
On the morning of December 25, before the execution, the lady said, "Death with the ear, come, kill me first." Guo Songling was also very bullish, and said in his last words:
"I advocate great righteousness, thieves are not good, and death is fixed; later comrades, please see this bloody way!"
