During the War of Liberation, many Kuomintang generals led their troops to revolt and defect to the People's Liberation Army.
Below, let's take a closer look at the outcome and treatment of the generals of the eight major armies.
Fu Zuoyi
Fu Zuoyi was born in Yan Xishan's Jin army, he started all the way from a junior officer, with excellent military ability, his position increased step by step, and finally became a fierce general under Yan Xishan.
But because of some things, Fu Zuoyi gradually parted ways with Yan Xishan.
During the Northern Expedition, Fu Zuoyi led his troops to fight against Zhang Zuolin's troops in Zhuozhou, Hebei.
At that time, Fu Zuoyi had only 7,000 men under his command, and Zhang Zuolin sent more than 50,000 troops, equipped with aircraft, artillery and other sophisticated weapons.
But in such a huge gap, Fu Zuoyi led his troops to block the Northeast Army for 83 days.
If it weren't for Yan Xishan's order to let him give up resistance, maybe he would have been able to hold out longer.
Zhang Zuolin's father and son admired Fu Zuoyi's military talent very much, and tempted him many times with high-ranking officials and wanted him to join the Northeast Army, but he refused.
After Fu Zuoyi returned to Shanxi, he thought that he could be reused with his military exploits, but because Yan Xishan listened to the slander of his subordinates and thought that Fu Zuoyi had two hearts, he began to snub him.
This incident made Fu Zuoyi have a grudge against Yan Xishan.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Yan Xishan ordered Fu Zuoyi to lead his troops to hold Taiyuan.
Because the strength of the Japanese army was too strong, the number of their own troops was scarce, and the soldiers listened to rumors during the defense of the city, which caused turmoil in the army, Fu Zuoyi only held for 5 days, and then led the army to break through the encirclement of the Japanese army and abandon Taiyuan.
Yan Xishan was particularly angry when he learned of this, sneered at Fu Zuoyi's military ability, and bluntly said that he would send him to a military court.
In order to divide the internal forces of the Jin army, he promoted Fu Zuoyi to the rank of deputy commander of the Eighth Theater of Operations, and appointed him as the chairman of Suiyuan Province.
And Yan Xishan, who was the commander of the Second War Zone at that time, was only one level higher than Fu Zuoyi.
Since then, Fu Zuoyi has been flying in the sky, and his power has gradually increased, and finally he has become the famous king of North China in the Liberation War.
Because Fu Zuoyu was friendly with the Eighth Route Army in the Anti-Japanese War and cooperated closely with the Eighth Route Army, in the War of Liberation, the People's Liberation Army asked Fu Dongju, the daughter of Fu Zuoyi, who had joined the Communist Party, to mobilize him.
Under Fu Dongju's persuasion and efforts, Fu Zuoyi's ideas were shaken little by little, and finally when the PLA soldiers approached Beiping City, he led his troops to revolt and take refuge in the PLA.
Thanks to his uprising, the historic ancient city of Beiping was preserved, and the people in the city were spared the harm of war.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Fu Zuoyi successively served as minister of the Ministry of Water Resources and the Ministry of Water Resources and Electric Power, and also served as vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and vice chairman of the National Defense Committee.
Luján
Lu Han was born as a warlord in Yunnan and was the confidant of Wang Longyun of Yunnan.
However, after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, his identity changed.
At that time, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Lu Han to lead his troops to Vietnam to surrender the Japanese army, and after he left with his troops, the defense of Yunnan was empty, and Chiang Kai-shek took the opportunity to detain Long Yun and oust Long Yun from power.
In order to stabilize the situation in Yunnan, Chiang Kai-shek appointed Lu Han as the chairman of Yunnan, making him the new king of Yunnan.
In 1949, when the Liberation War was in full swing, in order to find a way out, Lu Han sent people to contact the People's Liberation Army as early as the beginning of the year.
After several months of contact, Luján reached an uprising cooperation with the PLA in October 1949.
However, because the People's Liberation Army had not yet reached Yunnan at that time, the People's Liberation Army asked Lu Han to wait for a while, and asked him to wait for the People's Liberation Army to prepare to fight in Yunnan before revolting.
On December 9, 1949, Lu Han led his troops, the Yunnan government, and the Kunming government to revolt.
With his uprising, the various departments in Yunnan also moved, and all regions also revolted and joined the People's Liberation Army.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lu Han successively served as vice chairman of the Southwest Military and Political Commission, deputy director of the State Sports Commission, member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, and member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
Zeng Zesheng
Zeng Zesheng was also born in the Yunnan warlord army, before the Anti-Japanese War, he was the head of the Yunnan warlords, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, with the accumulation of military achievements, he became the commander step by step.
In 1945, when Lu Han led his troops to Vietnam to surrender, Zeng Zesheng, as the commander of the 60th Army, also accompanied him to Vietnam.
In 1946, Zeng Zesheng was transferred to the northeast by Chiang Kai-shek, and while continuing to serve as the commander of the 60th Army, he was also awarded the positions of deputy commander of the 1st Corps and commander of the Jilin garrison by Chiang Kai-shek.
In the northeast, the troops led by Zeng Zesheng met our army and suffered heavy losses under the offensive of the PLA.
Because he was defeated by our army, Zeng Zesheng led his troops to flee to Changchun in March 1948.
Just when our army was about to attack Changchun, Zeng Zesheng made the decision to lead his troops to revolt.
After his uprising, his unit was reorganized into the 50th Army of the People's Liberation Army, and he still enjoyed the command of the army, leading the troops to follow the pace of the People's Liberation Army into the mighty Liberation War.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he continued to serve as the commander of the 50th Army and led his troops to Korea to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
In 1955, Zeng Zesheng was awarded the rank of lieutenant general and also received the Order of Liberation of the First Class.
Liao Yunzhou
Liao Yunzhou was born in the 5th phase of Whampoa and joined the Communist Party early.
Later, because of Chiang Kai-shek's counter-revolution, Liao Yunzhou hid his identity and lurked in the Kuomintang troops.
After years of development, he was promoted to division commander during the Liberation War.
In the Huaihai Campaign, at a critical time in the situation, Liao Yunzhou led the army to revolt and returned, and then was arranged as the commander of the 42nd Division of Erye, and participated in many battles with the PLA troops.

Gao Shuxun
Gao Shuxun was born in Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army, started as a small soldier all the way, and became the commander of the Eighth Army in the Anti-Japanese War with his own ability.
After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Gao Shuxun did not want to continue to follow Chiang Kai-shek, so he led his troops to an uprising in October 1945.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Gao Shuxun was awarded the Order of Liberation of the First Class and became the vice governor of Hebei Province.
Kong Congzhou
Kong Congzhou was an old subordinate of General Yang Hucheng, and he once followed Yang Hucheng and Zhang Xueliang to carry out the Xi'an Incident.
