In mid-October 1940, a solemn memorial service was held in Xinghua City, Jiangsu Province, which was the home of Han Deloitte, chairman of the Jiangsu Provincial Government, and this time Han Deloitte mourned his 89th Army commander Li Shouwei. So who is Li Shouwei?
Lieutenant General Li Shouwei of the National Army in the film and television drama
Li Shouwei was born in 1901 to a landlord family in Lilou Village, Cangji Town, Yanghe New District, Suqian, where he had five brothers and was the eldest son of the family.
Li Shouwei was educated from an early age, and after graduating from the third high school in Yanghe County, he went to Nanjing Industrial College to study and work in the art apprenticeship class for half a year, and then was admitted to the second phase of the Whampoa Military Academy and graduated. After graduation, he first served as a second lieutenant platoon leader in the Whampoa Teaching Regiment, which was a unit started by Chiang Kai-shek, and the regimental commander at that time was He Yingqin.
Here, Li Shouwei met his Fellow Jiangsu compatriot Leng Xin, who was born in 1900 to a small merchant family at No. 35, South Outer South Street, Xinghua City, Jiangsu Province, and graduated from the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy.
Li Shouwei and Leng Xin are both fellow countrymen and brothers, so the two have a close relationship and soon become friends.
Chiang Kai-shek has two important employment concepts: the Jiangsu and Zhejiang gangs and the Whampoa Military Academy graduates, Li Shouwei and Leng Xin are both in Chiang Kai-shek's employment circle, but the performance of both is not outstanding, it belongs to the ordinary kind, and even belongs to the kind that is not reused.
However, He Yingqin liked Leng Xin very much, because Leng Xin was more obedient and did not have many flowers and intestines, and He Yingqin felt that he was honest and reliable. During this period, they met a nobleman, Gu Zhutong, a native of Lianshui County, Jiangsu Province, and the three were fellow villagers.
In 1931, Li Shouwei was promoted to deputy colonel of the supplementary regiment of the 52nd Division of the Army, and the commander of the 52nd Division was Han Deloitte, Han Deloitte was not a high-level person, but he was in an important position, he was always afraid that his subordinates were too capable to seize his position, so he did not use any capable people, but he liked Li Shouwei, who had no ability and would only be corrupt, because Li Shouwei was not as capable as himself and would never rob himself of his position.
In the winter of 1938, Li Shouwei was appointed deputy commander of the 89th Army and commander of the 33rd Division, and the commander of the 89th Army was Han Deloitte, and after Han Deqin was promoted to chairman of the Kuomintang Jiangsu Provincial Government, Li Shouwei was promoted to the commander of the 89th Army, becoming a cadre that Han De trusted but was not very effective.
In July 1940, Chen Yi and Su Yu commanded the New Fourth Army to march eastward, liberate Huangqiao, form the New Fourth Army's Northern Jiangsu Headquarters, and open up the anti-Japanese democratic base area in northern Jiangsu. The geographical location of the Yellow Bridge was very important, and Han Deloitte decided to capture the Yellow Bridge.
The reason why Han Deloitte dared to attack the Yellow Bridge was li shouwei's 89th Army.
Han Deloitte believes that the New Fourth Army in Huangqiao is only 5,000 people, while his 89th Army has more than 20,000 people, and with the cooperation of other troops, defeating the New Fourth Army is not a problem, when Han Deloitte and Li Shouwei discussed, Li Shouwei also did not think it was a problem.
In late September 1940, Han Launched a siege of the New Fourth Army and ordered Li Shouwei to lead the 89th Army as the main frontal attack. Li Shouwei is a lieutenant general in the national army, although the rank is not low, but the level is very general, he encountered Su Yu at the level of the God of War, of course, there is only one way to die.
On the night of October 5, 1940, Li Shouwei was defeated by the attack of Chen Yi and Su Yubu of the New Fourth Army, and led the remnants to escape, when he rode across the "Eight Foot Ditch" north of the Yellow Bridge, some of the sons of the clan pulled the horse and asked to take them to escape together.
After Li Shouwei's death, Han Deqin held a "memorial service" for Li Shouwei in Xinghua City, and the CCP's Xinghua City Underground Workers sent a pair of elegies:
Han Deloitte in film and television dramas
"Friction and division are leading to a dead end, and only by uniting to resist Japan can there be a future," "The first paragraph is "Li Shouwei is dead," and the second paragraph is "Xinghua People's Public Salvation."
Ccp member Li Jian took the opportunity to participate in the arrangement of the spiritual hall and hung the link on the spiritual hall. This caused Han to be so frightened that he declared martial law throughout the city and searched for the Communists, but he could not find anyone.
After Li Shouwei's death, some people said that Li Shouwei may have known that he was more fierce, because he entrusted his friend Leng Xin to take care of his wife Ma Bangzhen before going to the battlefield. Compared with the wives of other Kuomintang military generals, Ma Bangzhen can be said to stand out from the crowd.
Ma Bangzhen was born in a very wealthy landlord family in northern Jiangsu, received a good education from an early age, and was born beautiful, she was the school flower of the school when she was in middle school, and after graduating from middle school, she was admitted to jinling university, which was quite famous at that time.
Jinling University, born in 1888, is a church university founded by the American Church in Nanjing, and cornell university is a sister university. At that time, the society was evaluated as "the best church university in China".
Among the university categories run by foreign students in China at the University of California, Jinling University is the only A-class university in China, and graduates who hold a gold university degree are eligible to directly enter the graduate school of an American university.
Therefore, many children of high-ranking Kuomintang officials attended Jinling University, where beautiful women were like clouds, but Despite this, Ma Bangzhen became a school flower with her beauty when she studied at Jinling University.
Ma Bangzhen is a social fancy figure in Jinling University, there are many people who pursue, at that time people may not know who the talent of Jinling University is, but it is well known who the school flower of Jinling University is. Among the many pursuers, one Nationalist officer attracted the attention of Ma Bangzhen, and he was Li Shouwei.
At that time, Li Shouwei was the colonel of the First Security Regiment of Jiangsu Province, and the head of the security department of the provincial government was Han Deloitte, whose duty was to maintain local law and order and cooperate with the regular army in carrying out military tasks such as suppressing bandits.
Li Shouwei's position was very important, and at that time, many colleges and universities in Nanjing needed to coordinate with Li Shouwei, and they needed to often invite Li Shouwei to dinner and give benefits. Jinling University once asked Ma Bangzhen to accompany li shouwei at a banquet, and Ma Bangzhen met Li Shouwei in this way.
Ma Bangzhen is not only beautiful, but also able to speak the Tao, but also gentle like water, Li Shouwei was suddenly fascinated by him. Li Shouwei began to pursue Ma Bangzhen.
Li Shouwei looks fat and has big ears, a red face, and although his appearance is not ugly, he is definitely not dashing, and he speaks roughly and rudely, and Ma Bangzhen can't look at him at all.
Stills of female college students in the Republic of China
Ma Bangzhen has a cousin who opened a restaurant in The Xiaguan District of Nanjing, and often has scoundrels who go to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and often eat the overlord meal, just eat without giving money, her cousin has to find someone to cover, but need a lot of money to do, his cousin basically can not make any money, but can only maintain his livelihood.
After Ma Bangzhen's cousin knew that Li Shouwei was pursuing Ma Bangzhen, he asked Ma Bangzhen to talk to Li Shouwei and let him send the gang of hooligans, and Ma Bangzhen immediately settled the matter after finding Li Shouwei, and no one dared to harass him from then on, and there was no need to pay protection fees.
When Ma Bangzhen saw that this colonel's regiment was full of wind and rain and power, he immediately felt that those cream students were not enough to see, or that this colonel's regiment leader could protect himself and provide enough money. And her cousin also advised her that although Li Shouwei was not dashing, he was powerful and powerful, and what a woman wanted was not to marry a powerful and rich person.
Beautiful women have always been prisoners of power and wealth, And Ma Bangzhen is no exception, under the offensive of Li Shouwei, the two fell in love and married, and Li Shouwei bought a beautiful villa on the outskirts of Nanjing.
Unlike other officials' wives, Ma Bangzhen likes to participate in various social activities with Li Shouwei, while the beautiful Ma Bangzhen gives Li Shouwei a long face in the process of communication, and on many occasions, people first notice Ma Bangzhen and then notice Li Shouwei.
Ma Bangzhen's strong social skills made Li Shouwei's official fortune prosperous, and later he became the commander of the 89th Army, and he was satisfied for a while, if in peacetime, Li Shouwei would definitely rise step by step.
Ma Bangzhen, a woman who is very greedy and a good helper for Li Shouwei's corruption, han Deqin said privately to his cronies:
Li Shouwei was bent on extending his paws to Dongtai, Xinghua, and Hai'an. Li Shouwei's young and beautiful wife Ma Bangzhen was simply a money addict, pervasive, and her hand was very long. How many people can the 89th Army be in the line of fire?
But Han Deloitte was very reactionary, and Chiang Kai-shek was in a hurry, and he could only rely on the 89th Army.
At that time, Li Shouwei and Leng Xin had been in close contact, and when Li Shouwei led his troops to northern Jiangsu, he knew that the fierceness was more than ji, so he entrusted his wife Ma Bangzhen to Leng Xin's care, and Leng Xin also readily agreed.
At that time, Leng Xin was the deputy commander-in-chief of the 2nd Guerrilla Zone of the Kuomintang Third Theater, and the commander-in-chief was Gu Zhutong, commander of the 3rd Theater, and the actual commander of the 2nd Guerrilla Zone was Leng Xin.
What the Kuomintang army did not expect was that Han Deqin sent several times the strength of the army to attack the Yellow Bridge, but the result was a big defeat, Li Shouwei drowned, and Ma Bangzhen suddenly became a widow.
But unexpectedly, not long after Li Shouwei died in the first battle, it can even be said that the bones were not cold, and Ma Bangzhen married her husband's friend Leng Xin.
At this time, Leng Xin had already become a family, and his original wife's name was Wang Chengru, and she looked very beautiful, but she was still dismissed by Leng Xin. Leng Xin knew that marrying Ma Bangzhen would bring damage to his reputation and would also have a bad impact on his career, but on the question of "choosing Jiangshan or beauty", Leng Xin chose a beauty despite the advice of his cronies.

Leng Xin's behavior caused the dissatisfaction of many Huangpu classmates, believing that Leng Xin was taking advantage of people's danger, and they complained to Chiang Kai-shek in various forms, Chiang Kai-shek saw that Leng Xin had committed public anger, and more importantly, Leng Xin's record was average, so Chiang Kai-shek approved six words:
"Shameless! Never hire. ”
In January 1943, Leng Xin was dismissed from his position as a member of the Jiangsu Provincial Government and director of the Jiangnan Bureau.
This punishment not only made Leng Xin unexpected, but his mood became very bad, at this time Ma Bangzhen said to Leng Xin that he was a Huangpu student and a Jiangsu native, and Chiang Kai-shek's instructions were only for show, not necessarily to beat him to death with a stick, and he could find his old leader to dredge up and see.
Leng Xin thought it was reasonable, he went straight to the rear to find He Yingqin, He Yingqin has always been good to Leng Xin, under the mediation of He Yingqin and Gu Zhutong, in the summer of 1944, Leng Xin was appointed as the director of the Military Affairs Department of the Chinese Army Headquarters, which was a very important post.
This ordered The Huangpu students did not expect that Leng Xin was reused only 1 year later. This also shows that Chiang Kai-shek has no principle in employing people, and many seemingly impossible things can be accommodated.
In the winter of that year, the General Headquarters of the Chinese Army in the Chinese Theater was established in Kunming, with He Yingqin as commander-in-chief, and Leng Xin was transferred to serve as deputy chief of staff of Lieutenant General because he was one of He's closest huangpu students and also had seniority.
At the same time, the US military command on the Chinese battlefield was also established in Kunming, and the Two Sides worked jointly, because Leng Xin did not understand English and was not liked by the US side, so he could not participate in the regular briefing meeting every morning.
Although Leng Xin does not understand English, but Ma Bangzhen english is good, and later in some occasions to communicate with the Americans, Ma Bangzhen to Leng Xin as a translator, and the beautiful and moving, good English Ma Bangzhen is quite liked by the Americans.
On August 15, 1945, the Japanese surrendered. On August 21, The commander-in-chief of the Japanese invasion of China, General Ninji Okamura, sent The Deputy Chief of the General Staff, Major General Takeo Imai, and his party to fly to Zhijiang to hold talks with key members of the Nationalist government before unconditional surrender. This is the "Zhijiang descent" that will forever be recorded in the annals of history.
At 3:20 p.m., representatives of the Japanese army entered the venue. Seated at the center table of the meeting were Lieutenant General Xiao Yisu, chief of staff of the Chinese Army Headquarters; on the right was Lieutenant General Leng Xin, deputy chief of the general staff; on the left were Brigadier General Butler, chief of staff of the US military in the Chinese theater, and Colonel Wang Wu, an interpreter; and dozens of Chinese theater chiefs and Chinese and foreign journalists sat around.
The "Surrender of Zhijiang" determined the relevant matters of the National Government's acceptance of Nanjing, after which Leng Xin formed a forward command post and led the command post personnel to Nanjing by plane to begin to receive it.
After arriving in Nanjing, under the protection of the Japanese army, Leng Xin went to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum to visit the mausoleum of the former prime minister. At that time, the market price of most items in Nanjing was 15 to 20 times lower than that of the mainland, and the personnel of the forward command post carried a large number of customs vouchers with them, did not carry any luggage, and went to Nanjing to solve the problem.
Zhijiang was descended to oil painting
They extracted a large amount of counterfeit money that was sealed, first bought gold, cars, and later developed into snapping up photographic equipment and hoarding it. The seizure of the luxurious mansion is more than one person, and as a result, they all make a windfall.
And Leng Xin took Ma Bangzhen to make a windfall in the process of receiving Nanjing, they occupied a number of villas, as well as a large number of gold, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
When everyone saw that Leng Xin's official position was not too high, but the wealth he had made was quite a lot, some people reported to Chiang Kai-shek that he had been personally enriched when he received it, and some people accused him of not doing a good job in secret talks with the Japanese army on behalf of Chiang Kai-shek, and there were rumors in society, and Chiang Kai-shek was very dissatisfied and reprimanded him.
Although Leng Xin was not dismissed, he basically had no real power, and in the winter of 1948, he was appointed deputy commander-in-chief of the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Headquarters (Commander-in-Chief Tang Enbo), and in May 1949, he took Ma Bangzhen and his children to Taiwan.
In September 1959, Leng Xin retired from the army with the rank of lieutenant general. After retiring from the army, Leng Xin was active in the field of historical research. In 1964, he was appointed as a professor at the Central Police Academy, Soochow University, and The Chinese Culture University, teaching modern history.
Taiwan's contemporary historians have a deep friendship with him. He studies modern history, because many historical facts have personal experience, quite a lot of first-hand historical materials and creative ideas, very authoritative.
Leng Xin and Ma Bangzhen have a son and a daughter, the son is called Chunling, living in the United States, has two grandchildren, a granddaughter. The daughter's name is Chun Zhi.
On February 6, 1987, the first day of the first lunar month, Leng Xin died of illness at 3:45 p.m. due to myocardial infarction and lung exhaustion, and his body was buried in the Wuzhishan Demonstration Cemetery in Taipei County at the age of 87.
