There is such an "anti-Japanese hero", he seems to be humble but wise and foolish, can shoot Sakai, is upright but behaves in a good manner, and marries 40 wives in his life; and his deeds have been adapted into various legendary books and TV series, and his life is called legendary. What kind of person is it? What kind of story does he have? Why is his story still a household name and is loved today?
Fan Shaozeng, formerly known as Shundian, was born in 1894 in Qinghe County, Dazhou City, Sichuan Province. When he was a child, Fan Shaozeng was also a "household name" in ten miles and eight townships, but it was not "famous", but "good things do not go out, bad things spread thousands of miles". Why is that? It turned out that Fan Shaozeng's father was named Fan Xianjie, a very famous local squire. When he was young, Fan Shaozeng was much loved, which also created his nature of not being afraid of heaven. So he was pampered and arrogant, doing some naughty things all day long. For the matter of reading, Fan Shaozeng was even more headache, he constantly found various excuses to take leave or skip school, and within two years he finally made up his mind not to study, for which he suffered a lot of beatings from his grandfather. In the matter of reading, he is not careful, but he loves to listen to stories, in addition to skipping school, he often goes to the tea house to hear that the book people tell various legendary books, fantasizing that he is a "hero" who can punish adultery and eliminate evil, and at the same time doing a lot of childish and ridiculous things, so his fellow villagers call him "Fan Ha'er". In the dialect of Sichuan-Chongqing, "Ha'er" means to describe people as thick and stupid, not very smart, which can also be seen in Fan Shaozeng's stupidity.
In the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, there was a folk gang organization called "Brother Robe" in Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places, one said to be taken from the meaning of "no clothes, with the son in the same robe" in the poem; the other said that "robe" and "cell" are harmonious, which means that although everyone is half-sibling, they still love each other and respect each other. Influenced by various "jianghu stories" he heard as a child, Fan Shaozeng soon joined Brother Robe after dropping out of school, and his legendary life began. No one expected that this "little brother in robes" who was brave enough to be stupid would become an anti-Japanese hero who stood tall in the sky and realized the dream he set when he was young.
In 1911, under the chaos of the world, Zhang Zuolin, the leader of the brothers in Quxian County, rose up, and Fan Shaozeng saddled up and went to the tang to fight the fire. Soon he was appreciated by Zhang Zuolin and incorporated into the banner, he was righteous and proud and extremely righteous, and he was very good at mixing in the army, so he further joined the Alliance. During the Alliance, Fan Shaozeng was adaptable, conscientious, calm and shrewd, neat and never dragged mud and water, and soon emerged in the League. Although Fan Shaozeng usually looks stupid and stupid, he is actually very wise and foolish. He was never ambiguous in his fighting, and even repeatedly charged into the front and rushed to the front of the line. He used his actual results to convince the brothers in the team and won himself a good reputation.
Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like shuttles. The pace of time has not stopped, and Fan Shaozeng's growth has not stopped. Five years later, he had become a powerful general in the League, and in 1916 Fan Shaozeng participated in the uprising against Yuan Shikai, and was incorporated into Yan Bu zeng to lead five regiments as a battalion commander and stationed in Fufu. However, after two years of good times, everyone was in danger under the chaotic world, and no stable situation could last long, "You sang and I appeared" Four years later, Yan Deji participated in the war launched by Tang Jiyao (Xiong Kewu) and failed, and Fan Shaozeng was reorganized into the commander of the Yuji Tang Department of the Sixth Division of the First Army of the Xiong Dynasty, and camped in Yunyang. However, Fan Shaozeng was very excluded in the rest, and the poor thoughts changed, not to mention that Fan Shaozeng was definitely not the kind of person who was content with the status quo and swallowed his anger. So one stormy night, Fan Shaozeng stepped forward and led his brothers to attack the Tang-style Zunbu of the Second Army stationed in The Chu Province at night, and the battle was very fruitful, he captured thousands of guns, gathered more than 2,000 people, and from then on he was active in Youyang and Qianjiang.
In this way, it has developed in Youyang and Qianjiang for several years. Fan Shaozeng knows very well that it is better to organize and fight with the troops than to fight alone. So in 1923, Fan Shaozeng met a warlord named Yang Sen and soon joined Yang Sen's ranks, when he was ordered to serve as the commander of the Eighth Brigade of the Fourth Division. In the following year, after Yang Sen became the military superintendent of Sichuan, the brave and heroic Fan Shaozeng was also appreciated and entrusted with a heavy responsibility, successfully becoming the brigade commander of the Ninth Mixed Brigade.
In October 1925, Janssen was not satisfied with the current situation and tried to do something to consolidate his position. So he wanted to rely on force to unify Sichuan and achieve his goals. However, Yang Sen failed, so he decided to go down to Chong Chuan, and before leaving, he took the initiative to hand over some of his forces to Fan Shaozeng. In March of the following year, Yang Sen returned to Wanxian County from Hubei Province, and Fan Shaozeng immediately led the ministry to return. In September, Yang Sen broke away from Wu Peifu and was appointed by Chiang Kai-shek as the commander of the 20th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and Fan Shaozeng served as the commander of the 7th Division of the Army. In 1927, Yang Sen sent Fan Shaozeng to attack Wuhan with the Beiyang Army. Hit hard by the Wuhan Revolutionary Army, the troops were seriously injured, so they had to fight back to their hometown and return to Sichuan.
In 1937, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out in full swing. The heroic feelings in Fan Shaozeng's bones made him not want to personally go into battle to kill the enemy for a moment, He Yingqin went to Sichuan to organize the troops, Liu Xiang dismissed Fan Shaozeng from the post of division commander, let him serve as the deputy commander of the First Army, in fact, he overshadowed Fan Shaozeng's military power, for which Fan Shaozeng was also very resentful of Liu Xiang. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance, Fan Shaozeng took the initiative to ask Miao to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and after the injury fell, he withdrew to Hankou with his army.
In 1938, Fan Shaozeng was appointed by Chiang Kai-shek as the commander of the Eighty-eighth Army, recruiting soldiers to resist Japan on his own, Fan Shaozeng asked his old subordinates to help repair the worn-out weapons on his hands, and he paid more than half of the repair costs, and he said to everyone, "Even if I am ruined this time, I will desperately be with you, drive the Japanese away, and return here a peace!" At the beginning of the following year, Fan Shaozeng did what he said, personally led the Eighty-eighth Army to go out on a campaign, and fought a guerrilla war with the Japanese army in the Jiangxi area. In the summer of 1940, it was transferred to the operation in western Zhejiang. Fan Shaozeng had not read the art of war, nor did he have so many combat skills. All he had was a patriotic heart and familiarity with the local topography. Even so, the Eighty-eighth Army under his leadership defeated the Japanese army in exchange for temporary tranquility.
On May 28, 1942, the highlight of Fan Shaozeng's life arrived, when he led the Eighty-eighth Army to kill Lieutenant General Naoji Sakai, the commander of the 15th Division of the Japanese Army. The killing of the commander of the Sakai Division greatly weakened the morale of the Japanese army and greatly boosted the military prestige of our army. Because "the commander of the serving division was killed in one fell swoop, this is the first time that the Japanese Army was founded until now." "The Japanese army no longer dared to despise our army, and likewise, the confidence of our generals was greatly encouraged, and it was a huge turning point for both sides. After this incident, Fan Shaozeng was angry, and then the Japanese First Army, on May 29, 1942, led the Eighty-eighth Army to wound kono, the commander of the Brigade of the Major General Brigade of the Japanese Forty Division.
Although Fan Shaozeng fought a victorious battle at the front, Chiang Kai-shek in the rear was deeply suspicious and worried that Fan Shaozeng would gain great power, so he was transferred by Chiang Kai-shek to the deputy commander-in-chief of the Tenth Group, which had no real power, which was tantamount to emptying Fan Shaozeng's military power, which made Fan Shaozeng very angry in his heart. In a fit of rage, Fan Shaozeng returned to Chongqing. This incident also made Fan Shaozeng see clearly Chiang Kai-shek's personality, and he deeply understood that Chiang Kai-shek only wanted power, and the interests of the people were always put in the back seat by him, and when the two clashed, he always chose power without hesitation, which made Fan Shaozeng disdainful.
In December 1949, Fan Shaozeng could not bear it any longer and rose up again, this time against Chiang Kai-shek. Former leaders are now on his side. In February 1950, Fan Shaozeng accepted the adaptation. After the reorganization, Fan Shaozeng was appointed as the "Senior Counselor" of the 50th Army and the deputy commander of the 148th Division. According to the principle of the rebel generals not being blamed for the past, Fan Shaozeng was not treated differently. When someone hoped to get General He Long's "black material" from Fan Shaozeng, Fan Shaozeng, who was extremely righteous, also had a verbal altercation with the man and was implicated. In 1953, Fan Shaozeng, who was in the era of peace, still wanted to continue to contribute to the construction of the country, so the Government Council appointed him as the deputy director of the Henan Provincial Sports Committee according to Fan Shaozeng's hobbies. Today, the Zhengzhou Stadium, which stands on the land of the Central Plains, is magnificent and can accommodate tens of thousands of people, which was built during his tenure. "Civilize its spirit, barbarize its physique", it can be said responsibly that Fan Shaozeng has made important contributions to the development of Henan's sports industry.
The above are all the achievements of Fan Shaozeng, in addition, Fan Shaozeng's affair has always been talked about by everyone. In Fan Shaozeng's time, it was not uncommon for men to have three wives and four concubines, but it was rare for people like him to "see one love one, love one and marry one". After Fan Shaozeng married more than forty wives, because he felt that the wives' behavior was "rude" and not enough to match his identity, he deliberately found someone to teach his wives etiquette. In order to make his wives live in peace and comfort, he also spent a lot of money to buy a bungalow, named "Fan Zhuang", Fan Zhuang has exquisite internal settings, with a special loft, swimming pool and dance hall, and even including a zoo, it is no exaggeration to say that every piece of decoration in it is extraordinary, which can show Fan Shaozeng's good financial resources.
Fan Shaozeng's wives are not only gorgeous in appearance, but also unique in talent. He has two wives, both diplomats, who have made outstanding contributions to the cause of our country's diplomacy. Among them, he also has a wife named Yang Xiuqiong, in the 1930 Hong Kong Swimming Competition, only 12-year-old Yang Xiuqiong ox knife test, won the 50 meters and 100 meters freestyle two championships in one fell swoop, in October 1933, in the Fifth National Games won all the gold medals in women's swimming, known as the "mermaid", Chiang Kai-shek's wife Soong Mei Ling directly recognized her as a dry daughter. It is worth mentioning that although Fan Shaozeng married a wife of forty houses in his lifetime, when he died in his eighties, there was a dispute among his children and grandchildren over the location of the burial, and Fan Shaozeng has not yet been buried.
Fan Shaozeng's story has been widely circulated in the Sichuan-Chongqing area, from centenarians to children who learn to speak in their teeth and teeth, to the "Captain Hare" who is unaware of the impact of the War of Resistance, and there are many script creations modeled on Fan Shaozeng, which have given birth to many excellent film and television works such as "Silly Master", "Legend of Hare", "Commander Fool", and the image of Fan Shaozeng's anti-war hero has also been passed down from generation to generation.
Facts have proved that the people have a scale in their hearts, and if you really treat the people as relatives, the people will naturally not treat you badly. Fan Shaozeng is a living example. His life can be said to be no wasted work, and he has defended the country and won the beauty.
