For most people, Zhang Lingfu is just a few lines in the history books, an elite unit with an elite unit in his hand, but the unit himself was completely annihilated just a year after the beginning of the Liberation War.
Among the Kuomintang generals, Zhang Lingfu was neither one of the group with outstanding military merits, nor did he have any writings passed down, and eventually actively participated in the civil war and risked merit and defeat, but his story is the most jaw-dropping.
During the Republican period, the atmosphere was open and the pursuit of freedom, and there were many celebrities who had arranged marriages and married new women, but it was rare for him to kill his wife, but it was rare for the young woman to die inexplicably.
Wu Hailan
A match made in heaven for the golden boy and jade girl
In 1933, Zhang Lingfu, who had just been promoted to regiment commander, was fighting in Sichuan when he was fighting in Sichuan, and met the young and beautiful Wu Hailan through a friend.
Although Wu Hailan's family is not very rich and noble, it is also rich, happy, harmonious and loving, and has two brothers who are very favored. With the support of her family, Wu Hailan received a formal new education.
Zhang Lingfu was admitted to Peking University when he was young, and although his family was poor and could not afford the expenses three years later and had to drop out of school and apply for Whampoa instead, whether it was then or now, being admitted to a top famous school is enough to prove that he has a solid knowledge base and strong learning ability.
With a culture, excellent calligraphy, handsome appearance, and young and promising, Wu Hailan was fascinated when they first met. Langcai female appearance, a match made in heaven, in the winter of that year, the two became close in Guangyuan. After marriage, the two had a deep relationship, and the husband sang with his wife.
At that time, Zhang Lingfu's hometown still had a wife, but he was very dissatisfied with the original match, so he stopped his wife and married again without any pressure.
The Wu family knew about this situation, but Zhang Lingfu did not like the original match, plus the other party had no children under his knees and took care of the second elder in his hometown in the countryside all year round, so there was no threat to Wu Hailan, so he did not think about it.
Wu Hailan is quite gentle and cultured, and can talk with her husband and poetry; Zhishu Dali, socialized with Zhang Lingfu's superiors and subordinates, and stabilized his rear; He can also wash his hands and make soup to warm and iron his husband's stomach. It can be said that she takes good care of her husband.
At that time, they were a pair of golden children and jade girls that everyone envied, and colleagues praised Zhang Lingfu for marrying a virtuous inner helper. Having a good wife at home can save you a lot of troubles!
Soon after marriage, Wu Hailan became pregnant. The girl is a wife and a mother, and the small family is full of happiness and expectations. A year later, her daughter landed on the ground, bringing new laughter to the family.
A joke hand blade wife
According to the army's regulations, Wu Hailan, who remained in Xi'an, lived in Zhang Lingfu's cousin's house, raising her little daughter alone while thinking about her husband, who was worried about fighting far away.
One day in 1936, her husband suddenly returned home without revealing any news beforehand. Wu Hailan only thought that her husband was going to surprise himself and his daughter. Full of joy, she carried the tenderness and sweetness of a wife, revolving around her husband, extremely considerate.
This woman immersed in happiness did not notice the impatience and disgust faintly displayed on Zhang Lingfu's handsome face, and she was unaware of what was about to happen.
Zhang Lingfu proposed to his wife to go back to his hometown to see, he had been married for a while, and he had not seen the second elder. Wu Hailan was naturally happy, packed up and went back to the countryside together.
In his hometown, Zhang Lingfu suddenly wanted to eat leek dumplings. I haven't seen my husband for a while, and Wu Hailan is responsive to his requests. It happened that there were homegrown leeks in the garden at home, so she brought tools to cut them.
Just as she bent down to cut a handful of leeks, her once-loving husband raised his pistol behind him, his fingers moved slightly, and after a gunshot, the woman who was just 18 years old and in her prime fell in a pool of blood.
It is funny to say that the reason why Zhang Lingfu specially took leave to go home and bring a gun to plan to kill his wife was only a joke when he asked about the situation of his wife and daughter in the family of a colleague who returned to Xi'an to visit relatives.
The other party claimed to see that Zhang's wife was accompanied by a handsome young man, and asked Zhang Lingfu to go home to see his wife quickly, so he sentenced his wife to death without investigating. After his wife's death, he did not collect the body and returned to the army.
The brother shouted everywhere to no avail
Wu Hailan's father and brother naturally refused to give up, and the person they had loved for so many years was so unknowingly a ghost under her husband's gun.
The eldest brother rushed to Xi'an to complain to the court and the troops, but unfortunately there was no follow-up. Hu Zongnan also lured the Wu family and promised the high-ranking official Houlu in exchange for them giving up investigating the matter, but was flatly refused. Zhang Lingfu also did not dare to face the Wu family.
After this incident was reported, it caused great indignation in the local area, but the culprit remained in the army without any punishment.
It happened that Yu Fengzhi was in Xi'an at this time, and Wu Hailan's eldest brother asked someone to send the matter to her, but unfortunately Zhang Lingfu was subordinate to the Central Army, and Zhang Xueliang had no right to deal with it. Yu Fengzhi transferred to Song Meiling, and the Nanjing side came to order, and Zhang Lingfu was taken into custody for review.
According to the law at the time, Zhang Lingfu was to be sentenced to more than ten years, but he was only sentenced to ten years, not to mention that he did not spend long in prison, and he came out in 1937. Wu Hailan actually gave his life in vain.
Decades later, Zhang Lingfu, who killed his wife with moral decay, was exaggerated on the Internet, and some people made up some deeds that can be known as inconsistent with historical facts just by consulting historical materials.
He did participate in the War of Resistance, but to say that he was a famous general would be excessive. Opening his resume, there were no famous achievements in the Northern Expedition and some time after it.
The 74th Army, which gave him the title of a famous general, did make an iron army in the War of Resistance, but its soul at that time was Wang Yaowu. This former brilliant unit was completely annihilated by Hua Ye at Menglianggu only a year after Zhang Lingfu took over.
In fact, Zhang Lingfu was not a so-called famous anti-Japanese general, which even the Kuomintang believed. After his death, the inscription written by Chiang Kai-shek himself did not praise the merits of the War of Resistance.
Relevant departments also fully affirmed the Kuomintang's anti-Japanese generals, and as early as the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, they posthumously recognized Zhang Zizhong, Dai Anlan, and others as revolutionary martyrs. Zhang Lingfu, there was a war of resistance, but he did not see his fame.
Brief summary:
A person's evaluation should be carried out in all its aspects by his virtues, words and merits. How can such a person be sought after by killing the pillow person without even doing the investigation because of a joke, and completely ignoring the young daughter who is still a toddler between the two?
History should return to its original appearance, Zhang Lingfu participated in the War of Resistance and made a certain contribution to the Chinese nation, which is undeniable, and the state also issued anti-Japanese medals to his descendants, but there is no need to fabricate facts to elevate him to a status that does not belong to him
