"Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now he steps forward from the beginning."
The annihilation of the enemy chief naturally makes people have a heroic plot, and in the eyes of the general, the suppression of bandits is a matter that benefits the country and the people. However, when the 43rd Division of the People's Liberation Army entered Yunnan to suppress the bandits and killed the bandits, the division commander claimed that he had run into a catastrophe.
The commander of the 43rd Division was Zhang Xianyang, who joined the Red Army at an early age, and then made many military achievements as the team marched south and fought in the north.
In late February 1950, Zhang Xianyang entered Yunnan as the commander of the 43rd Division to take charge of public security and banditry, and soon after he became the commander of the Shaotong Garrison District of the Yunnan Military Region.
At that time, although the whole country had been peacefully liberated, there were still many reactionary forces in the Yunnan region, as a border area inhabited by ethnic minorities, and there were still many reactionary forces that were in turmoil everywhere and took advantage of the opportunity to split, and there were often small-scale turmoil and firefights.
On June 18, 1950, a reactionary force openly attacked Zhaotong City and attempted to besiege the division headquarters in Zhaotong City.
After more than 2 hours of fierce fighting, our army killed more than 200 rebels and captured more than 1,600 people, and captured more than 1,400 weapons of various types.
This battle can be said to have fought the style of the People's Liberation Army, and the division commander Zhang Xianyang should be happy, but when he heard that the bandit leader Long San had been killed, he felt worried, and urgently telegraphed commander Chen Geng and said: "Commander, we have run into trouble." ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="81" >1</h1>
It is reasonable to say that the bandit leader who killed a rebel should be happy, but the identity of this bandit leader is not simple, involving a piece of yunnan history.
At the beginning of the last century, Yunnan was still in the hands of Tang Jiyao, who in the early days of his administration still attached great importance to the development of Yunnan, devoted himself to the establishment of education and the development of industry, and did a lot of practical things for the people of Yunnan.
However, in the later period of his reign, Tang Jiyao began to covet personal enjoyment and became infected with extravagance.
This is not the most deadly, what is even more fatal is that Tang Jiyao's imperial government is not strict, which makes corruption in the Yunnan officialdom a common practice, further worsening the environment in Yunnan, and the upper and lower levels are separated from Morality.
When the time was ripe, Long Yun saw the opportunity to overthrow Tang Jiyao's rule in 1927 and become the new "King of Yunnan".
Long Yun learned the lessons of Tang Jiyao, worked hard in Yunnan, worked diligently for several years, and gradually won the hearts and minds of the people, and his prestige in the Yunnan region was unparalleled for a while.
Chiang Kai-shek also valued Long Yun's influence in yunnan and offered to join the Kuomintang and become the chairman of the yunnan government.
Long Yun clearly knew that Chiang Kai-shek was in a big position at that time, and could only superficially agree to Chiang Kai-shek's appointment, but still maintained his independence and dominance in the land of Yunnan.
The reason why Long Yun made Chiang Kai-shek so jealous was not only because of his influence and military strength in yunnan, but also because of his partiality and patriotism towards the Communist Party.
During the Long March of the Red Army, chiang kai-shek ordered Long Yun to participate in the encirclement and suppression through Yunnan, and Long Yun began to violate the yin and yang and did not take the initiative to fight the Red Army.
After the July 7 Incident, China began the war of resistance of the whole nation, in order to build the Yunnan Burma Highway, Long Yun took the initiative to take responsibility, and actively called on the people to build, experts say that it takes three years to build a good road, under the efforts of the people and his own active guidance, it took only 8 months to build.
The completion of the Yunnan-Burma Highway also brought Long Yun into the field of vision of the Communist Party, which began to contact the "King of Yunnan".
After being exposed to communist ideas, Long Yun began to consciously protect the communist ranks and began to openly ignore Chiang Kai-shek's orders for the communist encirclement and suppression, which made Chiang Kai-shek dissatisfied with Long Yun.
After the end of the War of Resistance, Chiang Kai-shek deliberately set a trap and put Long Yun under house arrest to nanjing, and later Long Yun, with the help of the Flying Tiger general Chennault, secretly escaped from Nanjing and issued a statement to break away from the Kuomintang and join the communist ranks.
After the founding of New China, Long Yun came to Beijing and became the vice chairman of the National Defense Commission of new China, enjoying the treatment of vice chairman.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="84" >2, the godson is not strict</h1>
The life experience of this "Yunnan King" can be described as legendary, he intersected with many early cadres of the Communist Party, and he understood the great righteousness, and was the backbone talent of our party.
But no one is perfect, he also has imperfections, as a father his godson is not strict, which led to the chaos in Yunnan after liberation, and also caused the bandit plague in Yunnan in 1950.
Long Yun had many heirs in his lifetime, the most famous of which was his third son, Long Shengzeng, also known as Long San.
Longsan's mother is the daughter of Zhaotong Yi Tusi, a very famous local power, coupled with the identity of his father the King of Yunnan, Longsan can be said to be a child born with a golden key.
Because Long San looked more cute when he was young and was loved by his parents, Long San developed a bad disease of being flamboyant and uninhabited from an early age.
The most stupid one was to openly flirt with the daughter of Kong Xiangxi, the finance minister of the National Government, during her schooling. The two did not agree, so they pulled out their pistols from each other and began a shootout in the street, fortunately they did not hurt each other in time, but they hurt many passers-by, and for a while shook the entire national government.
In the end, it was Long Yun who came forward to help Long San calm the anger of the big man and pay a heavy compensation to those who were injured.
In order to restrain this lawless son, Long Yun had to send Long San to the Yunnan Wu Tang, hoping to let Long San learn what responsibility was in the atmosphere surrounded by those soldiers.
However, he did not think that Long San was free and scattered, and he could not stand the discipline norms in the military academy at all, and soon escaped. Long Yun was reluctant to scold this son and was afraid that he would cause more trouble, and in the end he had no way to end it, so he had to take him personally with him and take care of him at any time.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Longyun sent the 60th Army out of Yunnan to resist the Japanese, and Yuwangshan became famous in the First World War.
After the war, Lu Han, the commander of the 60th Army, asked Long Yun for replenishment, and in order to give his son a chance to experience, and in order to let him take over his own class after establishing meritorious service, Long Yun decided to let Long San lead the army to the front line to support.
I didn't think that because of fear or some reason, Long San actually ignored the urgency of the military situation and went all the way upstream to play in the mountains, and the time to the front line was exactly half a month later than the scheduled time.
Delaying a military plane was a felony to kill the head in the war years, but because Lu Han was also Long San's cousin, he did not bother with Long San and opened a net.
And Lu Han made an agreement with Long San that as long as he could hold out on the battlefield for a while, he would be promoted to the commander of the regiment. Unexpectedly, Long San felt that the battlefield was too dangerous and life was very hard, so he casually found a reason to sneak home.
Long Yun saw that his deserter son was even more angry, and beat him up fiercely, but after beating him, he began to understand his son's fear of the battlefield and let him stay at home and enjoy it with peace of mind.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, due to Long San's dispatch in the rear and his father's care, he was also able to mix an official and a half post after the war.
Of course, with the War of Liberation after the War of Resistance, Chiang Kai-shek had already asked Long Yun to express his position and could no longer remain neutral, and Long Yun was unwilling to oppose the Communist Party, so he was put under house arrest by Chiang Kai-shek.
In desperation, Long Yun fled to Hong Kong with his wife and son, and announced his break with the Kuomintang and surrendered to the Communist Party.
But Long San wanted to take a different path from his father, and at this time, Long Yun knew that Yunnan would also be taken over by the Communist Party team in the future, and he wanted to go to the central government to participate in politics, so he did not deliberately return to Yunnan to take over his former forces.
However, Long San cleverly thought that he could replace his father, at that time the country had not yet fully settled down, and although the Kuomintang had become a rout, many "loyal ministers of the party and the state" were still looking around for opportunities to cause trouble.
Intelligence officers sent by Chiang Kai-shek also took the opportunity to trick Long San back to Yunnan, develop local armed forces, and wait until the time was ripe to counterattack the Communists.
Therefore, Long San found an opportunity to return to Yunnan and develop his father's former forces.
After all, he was the son of the King of Yunnan, and the forces in Yunnan in the past were convinced of him, so for a time there were many people who threw themselves into his command, and there was an endless stream of people who came to defect, and Long San finally pulled up a team of nearly 80,000 people, which was huge for a time.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="86" >3</h1>
Before Pulling up this team, Long San was at most within a certain range, and under the protection of his father Long Yun, he still had some restraint, but after pulling up this team, Long San's nature was exposed.
With a gun in his hand, Long San began to condone his men's wanton looting and openly attacked the PLA ranks.
Chen Geng, the chairman of Yunnan Province at the time, once approached Long San and persuaded his father to be an important member in the center, manage the team well, accept the transformation, and not let the team go down a crooked road.
However, Long San did not listen to Chen Geng's advice and expanded without restraint, and even organized a team to ambush the PLA's material convoy in the Black Stone area and loot the materials.
This incident shook the whole country at that time, and also challenged the prestige of the People's Liberation Army, and secretly Long San also betrayed the intelligence of the People's Liberation Army and killed many of our party's staff.
Under all kinds of atrocities, the People's Liberation Army is not his "good father" Long Yun. In the battle of Shaotong, Zhang Xianyang's troops took the initiative to attack, and after a fierce battle, Long San himself and his family were killed, and the "rebel army" led by Long San had no main heart, and naturally scattered.
However, after Zhang Xianyang learned that Long San had been killed, he still felt very panicked, after all, Long Yun was already the vice chairman of the Central Committee, and the matter of killing the son of the vice chairman was also very serious.
He even questioned his subordinates: "Whoever kills him is responsible!" And the superior leader Chen Geng was notified at the first time.
After hearing the ins and outs of the incident, Chen Geng said to Zhang Xianyang very calmly and peacefully: "You have fought well, and you have removed a scourge for the people of Yunnan. Don't worry about what the responsibility is, I will objectively explain it to you. ”
The matter soon reached the central authorities, and the central authorities were also worried that this matter would give Long Yun an opinion, and sent Zhou Enlai to comfort Long Yun.
When Long Yun learned that his son had been killed, he was very emotional. Because Long Yun himself had already joined the Communist Party early, he should not be liquidated again.
He even personally went to the chairman to express his dissatisfaction: "The dragon rope has been guilty of others, and when the punishment is related to himself, why it involves others is really incomprehensible." ”
But when Zhou Enlai put long san's incriminating evidence one by one in front of Long Yun's eyes, Long Yun froze, and Chiang Kai-shek's letter of appointment, the photograph of the murdered comrades, and the facts of the entangled bandits were overwhelming.
After reading this, Long Yun had to sigh, "My son is very bad, and he is to blame for himself." ”
Helplessly, Long San could not live under the protection of his father for the rest of his life, and Chiang Kai-shek's seduction made him go down a crooked road, and Long Yun could only accept the fact that his son was dead.
