At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a bandit in the Xinjiang region of the mainland who did all kinds of evil and did not do anything evil, named Usman.
Not only did he oppress the local herdsmen, but he also killed a deputy division commander of the People's Liberation Army, who refused to confess his crimes after being arrested, and took advantage of the opportunity to pray every day with heavy shackles, hoping to make a comeback.....
Kazakh teenagers worship Genghis Khan and aspire to become heroes
Usman was born in 1899 into a Kazakh family in the Altay region of Xinjiang, where his ancestors lived a nomadic life.
After Zuo Zongtang carried the coffin out of Xinjiang and regained Xinjiang, the Qing government, which was facing internal and external troubles, did not have much energy to govern the region, resulting in a big problem for local security.
Usman's father made money by selling livestock on weekdays, and traveled all year round, dealing with people from different walks of life, and also saw a lot of the world.
After the birth of his son, his father thought that only by reading and reading and participating in the imperial examination could he change his fate, otherwise his son could only sell livestock or herd sheep like himself when he grew up.
When he reached the age of enlightenment, his father spent a lot of money to hire a teacher for his son, and the second elder who wanted his son Jackie Chan to discipline Usman was very strict. While the children of other herders' families were playing or herding sheep, Usman was locked up at home to read and write.
The boy was lively and active at this age, and when he saw others going out to play, Usman naturally couldn't sit still. In order to allow their son to study well, his parents promised to allow him to touch guns as long as he did his homework.
Usman still has a certain talent in marksmanship, he practiced a good marksmanship when he was a teenager, and he is also very familiar with all kinds of firearms, plus he is literate and hyphenation, and soon became the "Batur" praised by everyone.
Usman saw Genghis Khan as his idol when he came into contact with history, and he set his sight to become a great hero and overthrow the Kazakh aristocracy who oppressed the common people.
It stands to reason that a teenager with such great ambitions cannot be bad, but Usman is an exception. As he grew older, he became more and more rebellious and showed a violent and bloodthirsty side.
Looking at the son who was becoming more and more disobedient, the parents were also very troubled, and in 1912, Usman, who was determined to do a great career, finally waited for the opportunity, and Emperor Xuantong announced the abdication of the Qing Dynasty and the official demise of the Qing Dynasty.
The situation of the internal warlords is turbulent, and Xinjiang, which is located in the border area, gradually loses its jurisdiction, and various ethnic groups in the local area gather from time to time to clash with each other, and at the same time, some warlords take advantage of the opportunity to rise, including a man named Sheng Shicai.
Originally, he was also a progressive young man who was worried about the country and the people, but after arriving in Xinjiang, he had no experience in dealing with ethnic issues, which led to conflicts with the Kazakh ethnic group.
Sheng Shicai decided to use force to suppress these herders, announcing the confiscation of their weapons. The situation in the border area is chaotic and mixed, there are all kinds of wild animals when grazing, and the herdsmen rely on guns to defend themselves, so they are naturally reluctant to hand over their weapons.
Sheng Shicai was furious and imprisoned the leaders of the Kazakh tribes and some of the most prestigious tribesmen, which angered the local herdsmen even more, and Usman joined the revolt.
The rebel warlords gained popular support and colluded with outside forces for their own selfish interests
In 1937, when the first struggle against Sheng Shicai took place in Xinjiang, Usman took the opportunity to pull up a team of more than 40 people and run to Hazhebrigan.
He was skillful and accurate in marksmanship, read books and able to fool people, and relied on his mouth full of benevolence and morality to coax the herdsmen who did not know the truth, so that more and more people joined the team he formed.
Two years later, Usman took part in the struggle against Sheng Shicai's rule and led his small detachment to charge on the battlefield. Seeing the performance of this strong man, many herders regarded him as a big hero.
In the end, Usman's team defeated the team sent by Sheng Shicai and occupied a large part of the opponent's territory. After the victory in the war, Usman was elected chief of the Kazakh tribe, and the careerist gradually revealed his true colors.
As his territory expanded and his power was consolidated, Usman's army grew in size, numbering several thousand men at its peak, and he was named "King of Altay" in his heroic form, but his rule was even more brutal than that of the prosperous world.
After Usman took power, the Kazakh aristocracy gave him countless gold and silver treasures and stunning beauties for self-protection, and the ambition of this bandit became more and more inflated to taste the sweetness of power.
In the winter of 1940, he led his team to rob the herdsmen, and the victims were distributed in more than a dozen surrounding counties, and the dragon slaying warriors eventually became evil dragons.
Usman was indifferent to the suffering and pleading of the people, and even some of his men could not look at it, but they dared not speak out. Over time, Usman became notorious for oppressing herdsmen, and also attracted the attention of some foreign powers.
Xinjiang has a vast land and rich resources, and the Soviet Union also took a fancy to this land, originally they supported Sheng Shicai, but they didn't expect the agent to be defeated, so they pulled Mongolia to turn around and began to support Usman.
Beginning in 1943, the weapons and material resources that the Soviet Union aided to Usman continued to be shipped to Xinjiang, and Sheng Shicai turned around and found a backer, that is, Chiang Kai-shek.
With the support of the president of the Republic of China, Sheng Shicai launched a major counteroffensive to force the enemy, Usman to the border area, and finally the Soviet Union intervened to stop the latter's decline.
After more than a year of "obscene development", Usman felt that his wings had hardened again, and he wanted to get rid of the control of the Soviet Union. As the saying goes, it is easier to invite God than to send God, Usman colluded with the Soviet Union for his own selfish interests, only to find that he was simply seeking the skin of the tiger.
In 1943, the Soviets sent representatives to Usman, saying that they wanted to help him with his work, but in effect they were evading his rights, and this move led to a growing suspicion between the two sides.
Two years later, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression ended, and Usman defected to Chiang Kai-shek and was willing to be Chiang Kai-shek's vanguard.
A bandit leader who everyone shouted and beat up actually became an official, and he also carried out inhumane sabotage of party members and the masses of the people in Xinjiang, and secretly colluded with the United States to betray the interests of the country and the people.
The big bandit was captured by the PLA and made special demands in prison
At the beginning of 1949, Chiang Kai-shek fled to Taiwan and Xinjiang ushered in the peaceful liberation, and the local people of all ethnic groups celebrated this historic moment.
One of the female agents of the military commander lurked beside Usman and became his lover. Since then, various instructions have been sent from across the strait, and CIA agent Maknan has also hooked up with Usman to support him in the border area.
Wu Siman had nearly 10,000 people in his hands, and the People's Liberation Army considered that these people were not all extremely vicious people, and gave them the opportunity to reform themselves, but they were refused.
In February 1950, Usman instigated some people who did not know the truth in northern Xinjiang to riot again, and the northwest bandit led a group of outlaws to burn and loot everywhere, and the herdsmen only encountered war after more than half a year of safety.
Usman's behavior had a very bad effect, and a Kuomintang army that had already surrendered to the PLA actually colluded with him and injured many innocent people.
On April 1, Usman's son, Sherman, stood guard on the side of the road with more than 40 men, ready to attack passers-by.
It just so happened that Luo Shaowei, deputy commander of the 16th Division of the Sixth Army of the People's Liberation Army, went down to the grassroots level to inspect the work of the troops, and there were only six people on our side, and no matter how powerful they were, they could not defeat more than 40 bandits armed with guns and inhumane.
Wang Zhen, then acting commander and political commissar of the Xinjiang Military Region, was shocked when he heard the news and quickly compiled the incident into materials and reported it to the top leadership.
Mr. Zhu gave instructions to Wang Zhen, telling him that these bandits were difficult to control, and that tanks, armored vehicles, etc. should be used.
After deploying two divisions, hundreds of military trucks, and 41 tanks from the First Field Army to carry out firepower strikes against the bandits headed by Usman, Usman realized a cruel problem in the face of absolute strength, and he and the PLA were not at all in the same order of magnitude.
In January 1915, the Northwest Military Region launched a large-scale anti-bandit campaign, and Usman, who was still alive, was surrounded and suppressed by the three-way army, and on February 19, several soldiers found the bandit's traces and arrested him.
In the process, three fighters died, and two fighters, Kong Qingyun and Liu Hualin, finally captured Usman alive.
After being imprisoned, the interrogators repeatedly reiterated the policy of leniency and strictness in their confessions, but Usman did not say a word and denied all his crimes.
However, the testimony of other herders was enough to convict him, and Usman's life was countdown. At that time, he made a request to the prison staff to allow him to pray five times a day and have a chance to let off steam.
The prison administration granted the request in accordance with the principle of respect for the religious beliefs of all ethnic groups, taking into account that the person was a Muslim.
For nearly two months after that, the prison playground often saw the figure of Usman with his hands folded in prayer, even if it was windy and snowy, and did not delay his daily prayers.
When he prayed, Usman was like a devout believer, and he was like two men with the vicious Northwest bandit.
To outsiders, Usman's prayer may have been a confession of his actions, but in fact the great bandit did not repent of his actions, but actually fantasized about the day when he would make a comeback.
When the prison guards were educating him ideologically, Usman refused to cooperate and often spoke wildly, which can be seen from this. In April 1951, law enforcement authorities held a public trial of Usman, and many people came to the scene.
In the face of these people's condemnation, the shackled Usman no longer had the arrogant expression he had before, and he was finally sentenced to death and executed immediately, and the bandit who regarded Genghis Khan as an idol ended his life of crime.
