As we all know, our army's policy is to treat prisoners well, and we will continue to use those who have sincerely reformed and have excellent skills, and our party has given generous treatment to the generals who chose to rebel in the war of liberation, but in 1949, the year when the Nationalist army was defeated, after the uprising, Lieutenant General Bi Shuwen of the Nationalist Army not only did not receive preferential treatment, but was also shot by the order of President Chen Yi. So, what kind of experience will this national army have? Why did Mr. Chen give such an order?
The generals revolted and surrendered
This Lieutenant General named Bi Shuwen rebelled in Chongqing in November 1949, when the Nationalist army was over, and the old Chiang was about to fly to Taiwan in discouragement. Therefore, our party attached great importance to his surrender, and even gave Bi Shuwen the opportunity to further his studies at our military school, intending to entrust him with reuse. But when asked about Bi Shuwen's previous experiences, he seemed divided. Our party immediately sensed that something was wrong, and in the process of investigation, it was found that he was not simple, it turned out that this Bi Shuwen had the blood of our soldiers on his hands, and even his position as a lieutenant general was not obtained by strength.
Bi Shuwen
He surrendered to our army once as early as 1946, but the strength of the national army at that time was far greater than that of our army, so Bi Shuwen's attitude at that time was very wavering.
Bi Shuwen and Hao Pengju met
Bi Shuwen was born in 1908 in Daicheng County, Hebei. He officially joined the army in 1925 and served as a captain's staff officer under Liang Guanyinghui, at which time Hao Pengju served as the director. Bi Shuwen and Hao Pengju were also born in the Northwest Army, and have formed an indissoluble bond since then. So when it comes to Bi Shuwen, we have to mention Hao Pengju. Hao Pengju graduated from the Fourth Normal School of Henan Province in Luoyang, and then abandoned his pen to join the army and officially joined Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army. In 1925, he served as the captain of the Northwest Army Cadre School. Feng Yuxiang attached great importance to Hao Pengju and relied on him very much. That year, Hao Pengju was sent by Feng Yuxiang to the Soviet Union to learn artillery command, at which time Feng Yuxiang swore the news of the Northern Expedition was learned by him, and Hao Pengju, who was eager for meritorious service, immediately gave up his studies and returned to China to accompany the Northern Expedition of the Northwest Army. All this made Feng Yuxiang extremely dissatisfied. After that, Feng Yuxiang was angry with Hao Pengju and never used him.

Feng Yuxiang
Even though the Northwest Army was in chaos later, among the many generals who joined the anti-Feng ranks, Hao Pengju was still not used by Feng Yuxiang, which was his discouraged departure from the Northwest Army. Therefore, Hao Pengju defected for the first time and transferred to Chiang Kai-shek's command as the chief of staff of the 25th Army. The clever Hao Pengju quickly gained popularity in the army and mingled with the soldiers, but because of this he violated the authority of the army commander Liang Guanying, he ordered Hao Pengju to be removed from the post of chief of staff, but considering that he was active in the army and could not be suppressed too obviously, he was given a position of deputy division commander. Later, because of his meritorious combat performance, he was promoted to lieutenant general and chief of staff.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Hao Pengju was sent to serve under Hu Zongnan, and Bi Shuwen happened to be under Hu Zongnan, and it was at this time that the connection between the two became closer, and Hao Pengju also had an important impact on Bi Shuwen's life.
Hao Pengju won Hu Zongnan's trust
In the Battle of Luoshan in 1938, Hu Zongnan's 17th Army was severely damaged by the Japanese, and everyone accused Hu Zongnan of improper command, and this was the case. However, Hao Pengju stood up and began to excuse Hu Zongnan, and Hu Zongnan was very grateful for this at this time, and immediately won Hu Zongnan's trust.
Hu Zongnan
Therefore, when others were fighting hard to resist the Japanese on the front line, Hu Zongnan transferred Hao Pengju to the rear as the principal of the military academy, allowing him to enjoy himself comfortably in the rear.
However, soon he stabbed Louzi again, and Hao Pengju hooked up with the wife of a regiment commander in his own army behind his back, who was fighting the front line, but his wife was fighting Hao Pengju hotly. When he learned about it. He immediately reported Hu Zongnan, and based on Hu Zongnan's relationship with Hao Pengju, he ignored the group leader.
In the end, the regiment commander reported the matter to Chiang Kai-shek, who ordered him to be escorted to Yancheng, Chongqing, in order to give everyone an explanation. But under the operation of Hu Zongnan, Hao Pengju. was sent to Xi'an.
Defected to Wang Jingwei
At this time, Bi Shuwen saw that Hao Pengju was unbearable, and through many points, he would eventually be imprisoned. The payoff let him out. At this time, Hao Pengju could not stay here with Chiang Kai-shek, and immediately defected to Wang Jingwei, and also persuaded Bi Shuwen to go together, and the two once again did things for Wang Jingwei. became a lackey of the Japanese.
Wang Jingwei
During this period, the two of them were deeply loved by Wang Jingwei and did many bad things that hurt nature and reason. In order to gain a foothold in the Japanese puppet army, Bi Shuwen also served as the commander-in-chief of the bandits. The two of them not only openly opposed the Communists, but also arrested and killed many Communists. But these good days didn't last long.
Again defected to Chiang Kai-shek
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese Resistance, the Wang puppet government also quickly collapsed. Because the whole country hated Japan extremely much, Hao Pengju and Bi Shuwen were also disliked. At that time, in order to get out of the predicament, they hoped to make a comeback by finding a backer. After careful analysis, they believed that after driving out the Japanese, the Kuomintang would naturally be in the limelight for a while, and if they could turn to Lao Chiang, it would be the most suitable choice at the moment.
He began to write letters to Chiang Kai-shek to express his loyalty. But in fact, Wang Jingwei and Chiang Kai-shek had been bitter rivals for many years, and Chiang Kai-shek did not want to recruit them at first. But just after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to start a civil war, and now it was the time to hire people, so he incorporated their troops, and still as before, Hao Peng was appointed commander-in-chief, and Bi Shuwen was his deputy.
Defect to Chiang Kai-shek
The two thought that they had found a backer and could return to their former glory, but they did not expect that the reality was completely different from what they thought, not only were they not treated favorably in the national army, but they were unanimously looked at by everyone.
In particular, the Kuomintang's troops often sneered at them and blatantly regarded them as traitors. However, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and the two could only endure all kinds of insults from the Kuomintang officers, and even often encountered extortion and blackmail by the Nationalist army, withholding the military salaries and materials issued, and the two could only swallow their anger. The situation is very miserable.
In 1945, Hao Pengju's troops were transferred by Chiang Kai-shek along Jinpu Road to confront the Communists. Hao Pengju knew that Chiang Kai-shek's move was to make his troops use as cannon fodder.
The Kuomintang's affiliated troops
Completely treat him as a battlefield bet and a target for attracting blows. I want to use the hands of the Communist Party to eradicate dissidents.
In this case, Hao Pengju was naturally very dissatisfied, not to mention being used as a gun by the Kuomintang. At the same time, he also deeply realized that although Lao Jiang seemed to accept him, he would not use him at all.
Hao Pengju and Bi Shuwen found another way out
In order to save his little life and at the same time seek a good official position for himself, Hao Pengju directly wrote a letter to Chen Yi, expressing his desire to surrender to him. After receiving the letter, Chen Yi immediately organized a meeting between the two sides and successfully met Hao Pengju on April 1, 1946. Three days later, Hao Pengju led more than 20,000 soldiers of the Kuomintang in an uprising, and the name became the Chinese Democratic Alliance Army. And Bi Shuwen. Also under the persuasion of Hao Pengju, he joined the People's Liberation Army with his troops and was reorganized into the East China Democratic United Army, with Bi Shuwen as the deputy commander-in-chief.
Join the PLA
However, after joining the People's Liberation Army, the two did not completely cut off contact with the Kuomintang, and although the two people spoke out to fight for the liberation of the people, they eventually turned against the water again.
In January 1947, amid Chiang Kai-shek's constant overtures, Hao Pengju was still confused by Chiang Kai-shek's promise of a better life, and his attitude towards our army was no longer as warm as before. From the behavior of the two, Chen Yi keenly discovered the possibility of rebellion again, but out of humanitarianism, Chen Yi not only did not ban them, but guided them. However, Hao Pengju's greed was too heavy, and he finally decided to defect to Chiang Kai-shek again.
On January 15, 1947, they invited the organs of the New Fourth Army at all levels to participate in the commemoration of the first anniversary of the uprising of the Central China Democratic Alliance, in an attempt to wipe out all the personnel of the Communist Party organs, and ran to Chiang Kai-shek to ask for credit. It is a pity that none of the important organ personnel came that day, and their Hongmen banquet did not succeed.
On January 16, 1947, the two chameleons publicly announced their rebellion again. In order to show loyalty to the Kuomintang, Hao Pengju did not hesitate to tie up his old classmate Zhu Ke, and asked the Kuomintang for credit. And boasted everywhere that Zhu Ke, secretary general of the New Fourth Army, was captured alive on the battlefield, and Zhu Kejin was arrested and imprisoned, even in the face of torture by the Kuomintang, he did not waver in the slightest. In the fall of 1947, Zhu Kejin was killed by the Kuomintang in the suburbs.
Later, Hao Pengju was defeated and captured during the attack on the Longhai Liberated Area. When Hao Pengju was captured, Chen Yi summoned him, talked with him, and later wrote a poem, "Jiao'er is not a man, and he is not a dog. And now he is captured in Seoul, and he still divides himself. Hao Pengju lowered his head in shame after hearing this. Judging from Chen Yi's last sentence of Hao Pengju, there was no intention of shooting Hao Pengju at that time, but his nature is difficult to change. At that time, Chiang Kai-shek was launching a key attack on the Shandong Liberated Area, the Lunan organs were transferred to the Bohai Naval District, and Hao Pengju was also escorted with him.
The sinful life of Hao Pengju and Bi Shuwen
Hao Pengju felt that he must be guilty of death, so he took advantage of a Kuomintang army bombing and began to escape, and was killed on the spot by PLA soldiers. Thus ended his sinful life. And when Bi Shuwen was captured alive by Hao Pengju, he happened to be in a meeting in the field, which allowed him to avoid a disaster. But after hearing that the People's Liberation Army captured him, he was also terrified in his heart, and the sins of the two were too much.
In order to curry favor with Chiang Kai-shek, Bi Shuwen took advantage of the PLA's lack of attention, arrested more than a dozen PLA cadres, took them to Nanjing, and ran back to the Kuomintang camp again, including the younger brother of Chen Yi's wife, who the Kuomintang first put these people in Nanjing prison, and then began to torture intelligence, but none of them betrayed, and finally died tragically in prison.
In Chiang Kai-shek's view, Bi Shuwen and Hao Pengju were the same as each other, both disloyal people without a position, and it was very dangerous for them to be a general who could turn against the water at any time, so in order to better control Bi Shuwen, he was serving in Nanjing and was promoted and raised.
nanking
But in 1949, Chiang Kai-shek removed him from all his official posts. Since then, Bi Shuwen has started a life of house arrest in order to study nominally for further study. Bi Shuwen was not willing to fall to this point, so he rebelled at school. However, when Chen Yi heard about this, not only did he not spare his life, but he personally ordered Bi Shuwen's arrest and was sent to Nanjing and sentenced to death. Although he rebelled and surrendered, he could not escape his crime of being a traitor. When the death penalty was sentenced, no one objected.
And this reactionary was only 43 years old when he ended his life. Whether it is Hao Pengju or Bi Shuwen, if they have firm beliefs and are not swayed by money, they may be able to do something. In fact, Bi Shuwen was also a knowledgeable person before, or a high-achieving student who graduated from a military academy, if he hadn't been in cahoots with Hao Pengju, he might not have ended up like this. But on the other hand, people gather together, and the two of them are originally one person, so they can come together and be shot and killed by our army.
Our great political party has taken preferential measures to those who know right from wrong, can correct mistakes when they know them, turn back to the shore in a timely manner, and abandon the secret and turn to the light, but they will never tolerate and be merciful to those who are good at opportunism, treacherous in their promises, and do facts that harm the interests of the country and the people, and will never allow them to harm one side.
