During the Republic of China period, Yunnan has always been a relatively independent existence, except for the anti-Japanese period when troops were sent out for the national righteousness, most of the other times they did not listen to the announcement.
During chiang kai-shek's reign, Long Yun was known as the "King of Yunnan" before, and Lu Han was also known as the "King of Yunnan", and those who could be called kings represented great independence in addition to their strength.
Not long after the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chiang Kai-shek, in order to weaken the strength of the Dian army, immediately and eagerly used means to imprison Long Yun, and his behavior inevitably made Long Yun's old subordinates resentful.
Therefore, in the Liberation War, most of the Yunnan Army did not resist to the end like the Central Army, but chose to embrace the people, the most representative of which was General Zeng Zesheng.
Of course, there were exceptions to everything, there was a corps commander in the Dian Army who was unwilling to surrender, and the old superior Long Yun signaled him several times, but he ignored it, and finally after the destruction of Jinzhou City, he also became a prisoner of the People's Liberation Army.
This person's name was Lu Junquan.
Lu Junquan was born into a family of large slave owners in Zhaotong, Yunnan Province, where there were thousands of slaves, and he also had two relatives who were also great slave owners, Long Yun and Lu Han.
With such a family situation, Lu Junquan can completely do nothing and live a very good life, but he does not eat and wait for death with peace of mind, but is very motivated. In 1922, he was admitted to the Yunnan Daowu Hall, and in 1924, he was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy.
After all, he had some military foundation earlier, so he performed more brilliantly in the Whampoa period, was appreciated by Chiang Kai-shek, and was also approved to stay in the school as the leader of the third student team.
Therefore, Lu Junquan's identity is still quite complicated, he is not only prominent in the Yunnan Army, but also a "protégé" of Chiang Kai-shek's concubine. Perhaps it was also this relationship with Chiang Kai-shek that made him not revolt in the end.
In 1927, Lu Junquan returned to Yunnan. In this year, Yunnan was not very peaceful, first Long Yun, Hu Ruoyu, Zhang Ruji, and Li Xuanting forced Tang Jiyao to step down, and later Long Yun and Hu Ruoyu fought with each other, so they were very short of people.
As a relative of Long Yun, Lu Junquan was reused as soon as he returned, serving as a staff officer in the 98th Division.
After Long Yun defeated Hu Ruoyu and completely controlled Yunnan, Lu Junquan's position rose in a straight line, and the battalion commander, regiment commander, brigade commander, division commander, and army commander could be promoted to a higher rank in an average of more than four years.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Lu Junquan, then the commander of the 93rd Army, led his troops to follow Lu Han to Vietnam to accept the surrender of the Japanese, and Lu Junquan also served as the commander of the Hanoi garrison for a short time. This position is quite interesting.
However, during this period when the main force of the Dian army entered Vietnam, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Du Yuming to launch a mutiny in the empty Kunming, imprisoning Long Yun, who was forced to fly to Chongqing. Chiang Kai-shek's hand caused a momentary confusion in the Dian army, and he took the opportunity to transfer a part of the Dian army to the northeast battlefield.
After all, Lu Han did not have the prestige of Long Yun, and due to the limitations of the times, he could not openly oppose Chiang Kai-shek, so Lu Junquan also went to the northeast with the 93rd Army.
In March 1948, Lu Junquan concurrently served as the commander of the Jinzhou garrison, which was also the last part of his military career.
In June 1948, Lu Junquan was promoted to the commander of the Sixth Corps of the Nationalist Army, which at first had only one corps under the jurisdiction of the 93rd Army, and it was not until October that the New 8th Army and the 184th Division around Jinzhou were transferred.
Lu Junquan instantly became a senior general with 100,000 troops, but this mighty wind did not enjoy long before Jinzhou was liberated, and he himself became a prisoner. When Long Yun, who was still in Nanjing at the time, heard the news, he was so angry that he scolded Lu Junquan for being useless.
Long Yun had already seen that the General Trend of the Kuomintang had gone, so he secretly ordered the old department in the northeast to revolt when he had the opportunity, and Zeng Zesheng, the commander of the 60th Army who was born in the Dian Army, obeyed, but Lu Junquan's attitude was very playful. Lu Junquan neither opposed nor approved, so he kept pushing back.
Seeing that Lu Junquan wanted to take the sons of the Dian army into the fire pit, Long Yun was anxious in his heart, and he had a very good relationship with Wei Lihuang, the commander-in-chief of the Northeast "Suppression General", and the two had a secret agreement, hoping that when the situation was urgent, Wei Lihuang could help the Dian army leave.
Under the unremitting "efforts" of Lu Junquan, several great opportunities for uprisings were wasted.
Therefore, it is no wonder that Long Yun will be angry and scold, and whoever is angry in his heart. However, Lu Junquan was still a bit moral, and did not report Long Yun, otherwise there would really be some mistakes.
On October 15, Lu Junquan was captured by the People's Liberation Army during the breakout and began his life as a war criminal. In the Gongdelin, he partnered for a while with Shen Drunk, a secret agent of the military command, who said that he was quite a bricklayer, and many years later recalled that the brick walls and stone barriers he built had never collapsed.
In 1959, Lu Junquan had the honor of becoming one of the first amnesty war criminals, and in addition to his own change of thinking, he also had some relations with Long Yun and Lu Han. Long Yun and Lu Han also served as high-ranking officials in New China.
Later, Lu Junquan served as a commissioner of the Yunnan Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and wrote "Memories of The Annihilation of Jiang Jun in Jinzhou" and "The Fourth Series of Selected Materials on the Literature and History of Zhaotong", which can also be regarded as making certain contributions to the restoration of that period of history.
In 1979, Lu Junquan died of illness in Kunming at the age of 80.
As for why Lu Junquan did not surrender, in fact, there were two reasons, one was the relationship with Chiang Kai-shek, when the war in Jinzhou was tight, Chiang Kai-shek personally sent him a telegram, which said that the brothers and brothers were extremely affectionate, and one of them was "Please my brother stick to waiting for help", which gave him the courage to resist.
Interestingly, when Lu Junquan took this letter to Sheng Jiaxing, commander of the 93rd Army, and Shen Xiangkui, commander of the New 8th Army, the attitudes of the two sides were completely different. Lu Junquan was so moved that he was sobbing, while the other two were very dismissive, directly saying: When the old man has no way, he will rush to call him brother and brother, this top fart!
According to Lu Han's daughter Lu Guomei, Lu Junquan refused to revolt because he took into account Lu Han's status, and he was afraid that after his uprising, Chiang Kai-shek would anger Lu Han and turn Yunnan into a scorched earth.
There is also a bit of sentiment.
