In Dayi County, Sichuan, there is a tiger that can "eat people", his name is Liu Wencai.
Liu Wencai is a large landlord in the old era, he has no evil in his life, if he is an old man in Sichuan who is a little old, I believe that no one will know Liu Wencai's notoriety.
However, the good thing is that evil has evil retribution, and Liu Wencai, who has done countless evil deeds, eventually fell ill and died.
Liu Tiger, who can "eat people"
In 1887, Liu Wencai was born in a small village below the town of Anren in Dayi County, Sichuan.
Liu Wencai's family has dozens of acres of fertile land and a small shochu workshop, which is not a big rich but can also be called a small landlord.
At the beginning of the fight, Liu Wencai was a little hooligan, and the teachers and gentlemen invited by the family were bluntly said that they were not saved, not only did not learn no skills, but also often did evil everywhere, and with the influence of the family, they caused trouble everywhere in the local area.
After doing more evil things, someone gave Liu Wencai a nickname, called "Liu Tiger".
And the tiger can "eat people", if only by relying on the power of the small landlord's family, Liu Wencai can only do evil at most, but he does not have the ability to eat people.
What made Liu Wencai have the ability to "eat people" had to rely on Liu Wencai's younger brother, Liu Wenhui, who was stationed near Yibin.
Liu Wenhui was a very capable man, who attended the Baoding Army Officer School, fought several battles after graduation and was quickly promoted because of his outstanding ability, and became a brigade commander at a young age, while the troops led by Liu Wenhui were stationed in the Yichang area.
Although Liu Wencai is a straw bag, he is not stupid, and seeing that his brother has become a leader, he must rely on him to get rich.
With the support of Liu Wenhui, Liu Wencai soon grasped the tax power of many counties near Yibin, and Liu Wencai also relied on the tax power to squeeze the local people madly, if you want to go to the toilet, you have to pay the toilet tax, if you want to use the hoe, you have to pay the hoe tax, before Liu Wencai left the southern Sichuan region, he has already put the local tax to 25 years later.
It was also Liu Wencai's oppression of the local people that made Liu Wenran sit firmly in the title of "Liu Tiger".
And after having money, Liu Wencai naturally will not be satisfied with being a rich man like this, he has collected a large number of idle bastards and rotten people as his subordinates, with these thugs, Liu Wencai's waist pole is even harder, with the power in his hands he began to force the local people to plant poppies for him, and if anyone dares not to plant it, then collect a harsh "lazy tax".
Then, relying on the poppies grown by these farmers, Liu Wencai made them into drugs such as morphine and opium, and sold them in southern Sichuan, causing countless families to die.
And Liu Wencai not only sells drugs, but also lends usury. In 1921, when Liu Wencai first arrived in Yibin, he used fifty thousand yuan of silver to set up a so-called "silver trumpet", this silver number is not for people to save money, but specially to eat people's usury, Liu Wencai's fifty thousand principal has increased more than twenty times in just four years, and by 25 years, the silver number has now exceeded one million two silver dollars, and behind this huge profit, there must be hidden the history of blood and tears of countless family wives and children.
Dominating Sichuan was unsuccessful, and Ash slipped back to his hometown
Liu Wencai is not only greedy for money, he also has ambitions to dominate Sichuan.
As the warlord wars in Sichuan became fierce, by the 1930s, there were only two warlords left in Sichuan, namely Liu Wencai's younger brother Liu Wenhui and Liu Wencai's nephew Liu Xiang.
Although Liu Xiang was also a relative of Liu Wencai, it was better for relatives to kiss than to be close to his brother, and when Liu Wenhui inevitably confronted Liu Xiang, Liu Wencai also had ambitions to dominate Sichuan.
In order to satisfy his ambitions, he sent his men to Chongqing to assassinate Liu Xiang, but unfortunately the assassination did not succeed, but Liu Xiang was furious when he learned that the real culprit behind the assassination of him was sent, and in order to avenge him, he directly let his men fly to Yibin to bomb Liu Wencai's lair.
Liu Wencai was not killed by the plane in the end, but as his younger brother Liu Wenhui continued to lose in the struggle with Liu Xiang, Liu Wencai also knew that This Yichang must not be able to stay any longer.
In 1931, Liu Wencai took the gold and silver treasures he had exploited and slipped back to his hometown of Dayi County.
Liu Wencai had done so many in Yichang, and it was impossible for him to return to his hometown and end it.
The first thing I did after returning to my hometown of Dayi was to repair the house. He ordered his men to capture a large number of coolies, and built a Liu Family Manor with a construction area of more than 20,000 square meters in Dayi, this huge Liu Family Manor was repaired for a full decade, and it was not officially completed until 42 years, and those who were caught must not have money to take, just to eat food without starvation.
Of course, Liu Wencai's evil deeds were not only to grasp the coolies to repair the house, but he also took away the land of many peasants in Dayi with a large number of people, and after these peasants lost the land they relied on for food, they could only be forced to become displaced people, and most of them could only rely on begging everywhere to survive.
Not only the peasants' land, Liu Wencai did not spare the assets in Dayi County, with threats and extortion and other means, Liu Wencai bought the clothing shops, pawnshops and grocery stores in Dayi County at an extremely low price, Dayi had a total of 7 streets, of which Liu Wencai accounted for 4 and a half by forced purchase.
Some people return to their hometown after making a fortune to take the villagers to get rich, but Liu Wencai brought only disaster to the villagers in dayi, and if a beautiful girl is favored by Liu Wencai, whether it is using coercion and inducement or the threat of force, it is absolutely impossible to escape his clutches.
Liu Wencai alone married five concubines, except for his wife Lü Shi, most of the other concubines were forcibly married by Liu Wencai by means.
Relying on a large number of hooligans under his command, Liu Wencai completely became the "Emperor of The Earth" in Dayi, and did nothing evil to make the local people suffer greatly from it and could not be at peace.
The ending of Liu Tiger
With the collapse of the Japanese army in China and the start of the Liberation War, Liu Wencai's good days have passed for a long time.
Since 1947, Liu Wencai's fate has also begun to undergo a drastic change.
In order to liberate Dayi as soon as possible and help the people of Dayi get rid of the brutal rule of "Liu Laohu", Liu Yinghan, a Red Army soldier who had participated in many large and small battles, and other comrades jointly formed an armed task force and organized the local people to rebel against Liu Wencai and his minions.
The armed task force first sent the arsenal of the Kuomintang troops that had been fought down earlier, and then distributed the guns and ammunition inside to the local people, and then prepared to fight Liu Wencai for a decisive battle.
However, the armed task force still underestimated Liu Wencai's control in the local area, because Liu Wencai planted a lot of eyeliner in Dayi, and when the report was handed over to Liu Wencai, the armed task force was attacked by Liu Wencai's minions, because the armed task force was not ready, and finally ended with the failure of the armed workers team.
Although the armed forces failed, this did not affect the determination to liberate Dayi, and many cadres came to Dayi without fear, and successfully formed an underground armed force in the local area.
Seeing the underground armed forces taking root in Dayi, Liu Wencai also began to become anxious, and trying to rely on his own forces to block the underground armed forces had become delusional, and Liu Wencai could only bet all his hopes on the Kuomintang reactionaries.
However, the general trend of the Kuomintang has gone, and after the People's Liberation Army successfully liberated Nanjing on April 23, 1949, with the rout of Chiang Kai-shek, Liu Wencai's fate was already doomed.
In June 1949, tens of thousands of peasants oppressed by Liu Wencai stood up and demanded that Liu Wencai reduce rent.
Liu Wencai originally wanted to stubbornly resist and sent his forces to continue to forcibly collect rents, but he did not want several teams that forcibly collected rents to be arrested by the peasants, and when Liu Wencai's large army was also surrounded by angry peasants, Liu Wencai compromised not to impose high rents on the peasants.
After the failure of the forced collection of rent, Liu Wencai's health also began to deteriorate, especially whenever he closed his eyes, he would unconsciously think of those faces who had been persecuted by him, and in Liu Wencai's last days, fear and pain had always accompanied his surroundings.
Liu Wencai is a superstitious person, even if he is seriously ill, he is not willing to go to the doctor to see a doctor, but instead he found a jianghu langzhong and bought some messy medicines, but these drugs did not slow down his illness, but made him more and more painful in his last time.
One day Liu Wencai's courtyard roof flew a few crows, the servants in Liu's manor knew that Liu Wencai hated these very much, so he was planning to drive the crows away, but unexpectedly Liu Wencai walked out of the door and saw this Mu, and finally he looked at the crows to stop the servants, and after a long time he sighed and said.
On October 17, 1949, Liu Wencai, who had been a life of evil, finally died of a lung ulcer, and after Liu Wencai's death, his evil forces were quickly suppressed, and the people of Dayi, who had been persecuted by Liu Wencai, finally ushered in the dawn.
The wicked will eventually reap the rewards
What is extremely absurd is that after Liu Wencai's death, there were still people who wanted to help this big landlord who had done endless evil to "whitewash", and some people brought out several "face things" that Liu Wencai had done, and wanted to build Liu Wencai into the image of a "good landlord".
In fact, the true image of Liu Wencai has long been described in the poem "In the Clay Sculpture "Rent Collection Courtyard"":
My mother took my hand and walked into the clay sculpture "rent collection yard". There was a girl in the "rent collection yard" who also held her mother's hand tightly. She was about the same age as me, but she was so thin, barefoot in tattered clothes, with dry tears and a hoarse throat.
Under the oppression of Liu Wencai, children in Dayi County can only wear tattered clothes, not even shoes, which is the real face of Liu Wencai, who "eats people".
The evil deeds that Liu Wencai did were difficult to read, but fortunately, in the end, he fell ill and died a good death, which is also considered to be the evil retribution of the evil people.
