On March 16, 1950, the mainland began a large-scale anti-bandit operation, and a three-year struggle against bandits began.
The reason why we want to suppress bandits is, first of all, to protect the people.
After the mainland won the war of liberation, there were still many bandits in the country, who constantly blackmailed and threatened the people and enterprises in their own ways.
Among them, there are also many bandit organizations that have received funding from the Kuomintang and are rampant enough to attack the mainland's army, which has had a great impact on the mainland's economic and military development, especially people's livelihood work and security work.
It can be said that in that special era, the behavior of many bandits was extremely cruel, compared with the northern part of Myanmar today, it cannot be said that it is more than that.
Killing people is really commonplace for them, and killing is as simple as killing chickens.
The process of suppressing bandits was full of hardships, and many patriotic fighters gave their youth, blood, and even their lives.
Fortunately, just a few months after the bandit campaign, the mainland made a major breakthrough, and in the winter of that year, a "well-known" bandit was caught.
Who is this bandit, what has he done, and why can it be called a major breakthrough in the history of the mainland's banditry?
What did he do after he was caught?
Bandit leader Chen Mazi was only sentenced to 7 years in prison?
A big bandit like Chen Mazi, because his fame is too great, there will always be many bizarre legends about him among the people.
Take Chen Mazi, for example, the rumored that he, full of pockmarks, has three heads and six arms like a monster, and in the face of repeated encirclement, chasing and blocking, he can use his light skills, step on his left foot and right foot to the sky and flee directly.
From a scientific point of view, it is obvious that Chen Mazi could not do such an outrageous thing, at that time, many people wanted to see the real body of this Chen Mazi, but they were a little disappointed after seeing it, "This is not the same as myself with two eyes and one mouth, no different." ”
To say that it is different, Chen Mazi really has a difference, that is, the final ending.
Most of the right bandits were contaminated with many lives because of their heinous crimes, and the people's evaluation of them was also extremely bad, and after being caught, they were almost immediately sentenced to death and dragged out and shot.
But Chen Mazi is different.
Not only did he not die, his sentence was only 7 years, and in the end, his identity changed amazingly, from a generation of bandits to a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in Guangxi Province.
What did this legendary bandit go through in his life?
Chen Mazi medical martial arts
Chen Mazi, formerly known as Chen Shanwen, was originally a rich son of a rich family in Xinqiao Township, Yulin, Guangxi, or an only son, as the only successor in the family, his status can be imagined.
However, at that time, the situation in China was extremely chaotic, and in order to avoid accidents, Chen Shanwen's father, Old Master Chen, invited a lot of family guards.
Once there are bandits who have different ideas about their own family, there is a small team in the family that can fight each other.
In order to prevent Chen Shanwen from having an accident himself, Old Master Chen hired a famous teacher to teach Chen Shanwen martial arts since he was a child.
Chen Shanwen is a martial arts practitioner, and when he grows up, he will play tricks with the family members, and several family members added up, and they may not be able to get close to Chen Shanwen's body.
At this time, Chen Shanwen, as a rich son, lived a good life, but an incident completely changed Chen Shanwen's life.
On the same day, Chen Shanwen received news that one of his elders from other counties was kidnapped by bandits while cruising, and Chen Shanwen was afraid that the bandits would tear up the tickets, and without reporting the officials, he rushed over with a few family members.
After Chen Shanwen rushed halfway up the mountain, he saw the robbers who kidnapped his parents, and Chen Shanwen rushed over with a club.
A few bandits didn't take Chen Shanwen seriously at first, but after really fighting, they found that this Chen Shanwen's martial arts were not simple!
After a roundabout, the bandits knew that they were not Chen Shanwen's opponents, so they could only leave Chen Shanwen's elders behind and fled in embarrassment.
After the elder was rescued, he saw that Chen Shanwen was injured, and it happened that his family had a secret prescription, so he smeared Chen Shanwen's wound, who knew that the effect was amazing, and he recovered in a few days.
This elder is also very generous, knowing that Chen Shanwen saved his life, and the grace of dripping water should be rewarded with a spring, and directly handed over this magical medicine to Chen Shanwen.
Chen Shanwen, who liked to practice martial arts at that time, thought that Xi Wu was indeed able to practice chivalry and righteousness because he got this prescription, but practicing medicine to save people is also a great thing!
In order to realize his idea of studying medicine, he began to ask for medical knowledge, and with his father's money paving the way, only a year later, he entered Guangdong Wangtang Traditional Chinese Medicine School.
Chen Shanwen in school did study very seriously, but the medical industry, from that era to today, has a big problem, that is, it is too difficult to get employed!
Chen Shanwen went to many medicine shops, but none of the shops were willing to hire him.
Just when he thought he was lonely studying medicine, the great warlord Wu Peifu appeared.
At that time, Wu Peifu's military medical director department lacked people, Chen Shanwen's family was rich and professional, and he successfully obtained this job.
The problem of work is solved, but the situation of "workplace PUA" remains.
At that time, Chen Shanwen was assigned to be an assistant under a German doctor, who was very conceited and usually bullied Chen Shanwen and let him do dirty work.
It takes a certain amount of time for a German doctor to treat a wounded, but Chen Shanwen has that miraculous prescription that can shorten the healing time through this pharmacy, and for a time in the army, Chen Shanwen's reputation actually overwhelmed the German doctor.
Out of inner jealousy and anger and depraved emotions, German doctors began to frantically export words to Chen Shanwen, which made Chen Shanwen's heart more and more fired.
"Lao Tzu fought a few bandits alone, you are a foreign devil."
One night, Chen Shanwen couldn't bear it anymore and directly chose to fight the German doctor.
This German doctor will never forget the day he was angrily beaten by Chen Shanwen in his life, and he really felt what Chinese kung fu is.
He was severely injured by Chen Shanwen with his fists, and after recovering well, Chen Shanwen still wanted to find him to settle the account, and the doctor fled directly back to China in fear.
It can be said that Chen Shanwen at this time is not only a practitioner, but also a doctor with superb medical skills and a professional background, so how did he become a bandit after that?
Chen Shanwen's road to becoming a bandit
After beating away German doctors, Chen Shanwen became one of the most famous doctors in the army.
Just when the commander of the troops, Zhang Fakui, had a car accident, Chen Shanwen Mao volunteered to come forward to treat the general, who knew that Chen Shanwen's ability was indeed able, and after a few days, Zhang Fakui's injuries recovered most of his life.
At that time, the leaders were impressed by Chen Shanwen, and for the sake of long-term development, the commanders decided to send him to the Wangtang Luyu Military Medical School for further study.
Chen Shanwen himself has the talent to study medicine, and after a few years, he successfully graduated and became more proficient in medical skills.
After returning to the army, under the promotion of the leader, he directly became a major military medical officer, and was responsible for the medicinal procurement business of the army.
For Chen Shanwen, his own family is in business, and it would be a pity if this errand was not used for personal work.
While purchasing medicinal materials, he was also able to sell his own goods, and Chen Shanwen's favorite sale at that time was tobacco.
This behavior is obviously not allowed in the troops, but the leaders value him, and the inspectors have little to do against him.
However, with the outbreak of the Guangdong-Guangxi War, Chen Shanwen's troops were eventually defeated, and under the hurried evacuation, Chen Shanwen decided to return to his hometown and live a peaceful life first.
He has good medical skills, plus in this turbulent era, there are many injured people, and Chen Shanwen has never lacked business to do.
After a long time, Chen Shanwen changed from the original Prince Chen to Chen Shen Doctor in the local area.
After a while, Li Zongren began to recruit medical officers, and in order to better train talents, he also built a military hospital.
Chen Shanwen decisively joined in, thinking that he could continue to improve in the field of medicine, but who knew that his unit was defeated again, and he returned to his hometown again.
Since I can't join the army, then I continue to do business, not only treating people, but also selling medicinal herbs and finished medicines such as bone water.
When the Liberation War broke out, Chen Shanwen did not have any troubles, after all, he was a landlord and had a little reputation in the lineup of the national army, and he believed that a strong national army could not be lost.
But who knew that in 1949, the whole country was liberated, the PLA troops rushed towards Guangxi, and Chen Shanwen heard that many landlords and rich people were killed, as well as those associated with the capitalist class.
In order to avoid losing his life, he followed Wang Jiating, the former commander of the 206th Division of the Nationalist Army and his friend, into the mountains.
Chen Shanwen was also afraid of losing his life at that time, and in order to expand his team and facilitate the future confrontation with the Communist Party's large army, he used his local influence to get many people to follow him into the ranks.
In fact, at this time, Wang Jiayan no longer had rights, and the team was basically led by Chen Shanwen.
He also became the Kuomintang funded by the Kuomintang who had taken refuge in Hong Kong and Taiwan, as mentioned at the beginning of the article.
Nominally called the "Seventh Detachment of the Anti-Communist National Salvation Army", it is actually a bandit team with some military armed forces and a small number of members are soldiers.
They burned, killed and looted, and did everything evil, and although Chen Shanwen did not like this, in the turbulent years, he thought that there was no way to do it.
When the PLA contingent arrived, his team was unstoppable without any surprises, and he himself hid in cow dung and evaded the search.
But the usual burning and looting discredited him in the local area, and the people's reports still allowed the People's Liberation Army to catch him.
Before he was arrested, Chen Shanwen was very afraid, and the team of hundreds of people, just to arrest him alone, the formation was unbelievably large.
After being arrested, Chen Shanwen changed his ways
Chen Shanwen originally thought that he was not only a bandit, but also a landlord, and he would definitely die after being caught.
Who knew that he was notified that he was exempted from the death penalty and changed to life imprisonment.
The government investigated Chen Shanwen and knew that he was a good doctor, and gave him a task, that is, to refine medicine for a pharmaceutical factory.
Chen Shanwen thinks that he will be killed after handing over the prescription in his hand, this is his capital to survive, and death cannot be said.
But over time, Chen Shanwen discovered that Communist comrades and the People's Liberation Army were friendly to him.
The prison director and prison guards took great care of him, and the state even reduced his sentence, plus this was all a public notice, Chen Shanwen knew that the so-called "enemy" in front of him did not want to kill himself.
Before the country was in the period of resistance against US aggression and aid Korea, Chen Shanwen decided to hand over part of his prescription and personally take charge of refining medicine.
It is also because of Chen Shanwen's prescription that the lives of many front-line fighters have been saved, and he has turned from a bandit into a hero!
The military leaders did not forget Chen Shanwen's contribution and personally wrote a letter to express their gratitude, Chen Shanwen was greatly moved in his heart, and he also joined the medicine refining work more actively.
With trust in the country, he handed over all his prescriptions.
After awakening, Chen Shanwen's sentence was reduced to 7 years.
After being released from prison, he practiced medicine and did good deeds, devoted himself to the medical industry, saved countless lives through his medical skills, and later became the first member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in Guangxi Province through the election of the masses.
brief summary
Maybe many friends don't understand, why can burning and looting be so trusted later?
But just as the so-called current events create a person's behavior, Chen Shanwen at that time may have been forced to go astray.
Later, he saved the lives of many soldiers and saved the lives of many soldiers, which can be regarded as a great achievement, and the reduction of sentence is also a matter of course.
