Chapter 31 The true and false humor of Sanyi and Han Fuju

In modern history, there are many warlords who made jokes because of their ignorance, but one of them was wronged, and that was Han Fuju.Mr. Hou Baolin has a famous comic joke called "Guan Gong Fights Qin Qiong". The source of this joke is said to come from a speech given by Han Fuju.It is said that Han Fuju once went to Qilu University for inspection, and he didn’t know what happened that day. He suddenly delivered a speech full of witty words but full of mistakes: "Gentlemen, gentlemen, in their place: "What's the weather like today? Well, it's a good day for speeches... Are all the people here for the meeting?... Well, it looks like there are about eight out of five people... Raise your hands if you didn't come!... Very Well, we are all here. You have come very prosperously, and I really have a cold...Today, my brother called everyone together for a training session. If there is something wrong, please forgive each other, because brothers are incomparable to you. They are cultural people, all of them are college students, middle school students and overseas students. You rabble are scientific and chemical, and you all know English in seven or eight countries. Brother, I am a big bastard, and I don’t even understand Chinese English... You are I crawled out of the pen holder, brother, I got out of the cannon barrel. Today I am here to speak, it really makes me radiant, thank you Dade. In fact, I am not qualified to speak to you. When I talk about it, it is like... like... By the way, it's like playing the piano to a cow."

When the people below were dumbfounded, Han Fuju went on to say: "I'm not going to talk too much today, but let me talk about the three outlines first. I agree with Generalissimo Jiang's New Life Movement, and only one thing is, 'Pedestrians keep to the right' is really inappropriate. Keep to the right, who is left for the left side... Another thing, brother, I can't figure it out. Foreigners have built embassies in Beijing's Dongjiaomin Lane, but we lack China. Why don't we build an embassy there ? After all, the Chinese are really too weak!" The third outline is about his experience in the school, that is, the students' basketball game. Han Fuju scolded the Director of General Affairs and said:

"If it wasn't for your corruption, then why is the school so poor? What does it look like for a dozen people wearing shorts to grab a ball? How ugly! Come to my mansion tomorrow to get a sum of money, buy a few more balls, and give each person one to save money You earn and steal." Finally, Han Fuju pretended to be mysterious and said: "There are no outsiders here today, and there are no bad people, so I want to tell you three secrets: the first secret cannot be told to everyone for the time being, and the content of the second secret is the same as the first secret." , The first two points of the third secret have already been mentioned, and today’s speech is here, thank you all.”

After this joke was changed into a cross talk, it spread widely, but Han Fuju in history was not a reckless person, let alone a vulgar old hat.In fact, Han Fuju's father was a scholar and made a living by teaching. Under his father's guidance, Han Fuju himself had a good foundation in reading when he was young, and he was good at writing. Later, he did "tie writing" (probably equivalent to Today's clerks, scribes, etc.), this should only be competent with a considerable level of education. In addition, it is not true to say that Han Fuju does not understand sports or basketball.When Feng Yuxiang led the army in his early years, the army organized basketball and football teams. When he was young, Han Fuju and another general in the army, Sun Liangcheng, were both activists. Feng Yuxiang mentioned them in his memoirs.After taking power in Shandong, Han Fuju once set up a sports organization called "Jindehui" in Jinan, which had an indoor swimming pool and various fitness facilities, which was very fashionable at the time.

Zhao Rongchen, a well-known Peking opera artist who had a relationship with Han Fuju, said in "Sixty Years of Ink Career", "He (Han Fuju) likes various sports, especially horseback riding, swimming, football and basketball. When he was the head of the group, The team of his regiment is very famous, and he plays in every game in person. Although he is in his early 40s after arriving in Shandong, he still can’t forget the stadium. He often goes to the football field to play ball in his free time, and teaches his youngest son how to head the ball. Skills such as pressing the ball. From this point of view, the ridicule about Han Fuju making jokes while watching basketball games is unreliable. If you falsely refer to some ignorant and illiterate high-ranking officials as typical literary and artistic models, of course it is okay, if Specifically referring to Han Fuju is inappropriate."

Liang Shuming once taught Confucian philosophy to Feng Yuxiang's subordinates in Nanyuan, Beijing. Han Fuju got acquainted with this master of Chinese studies through this, and the two hit it off right away.Later, after Han Fuju came to power in Shandong, he designated Zouping County to Liang Shuming as an experimental area for the "Rural Construction Movement", and treated Liang Shuming with respect as a teacher.After liberation, Liang Shuming recalled: "In my impression, he (that is, Han Fuju) admires Confucian philosophy, and has read many works of Confucianism and Mencius, so he is not completely a warrior." Jokes...many untrue."

Speaking of this, Han Fuju also has a widely circulated poem joke, saying that there is a Daming Lake in Jinan, surrounded by lotuses and willows on three sides, a city with mountains and half a city with a lake. Han Fuju once came to play and saw the scenery of Daming Lake. It was so beautiful that poetry became popular all of a sudden, so I wrote a poem on the spot: "Daming Lake, Minghu is big, there are lotus in Daming Lake; there are toads on the lotus, poking and jumping." Another time, when Han Fuju went to visit Baotu Spring, a famous scenic spot in Jinan, he wrote a poem after seeing the rolling spring water:

"Baotu Spring, Spring Baotu, as thick as three eyes, gurgling, gurgling, gurgling." This, too, is not true.It might be more appropriate to put this kind of doggerel on Zhang Zongchang's head, but not Han Fuju.Because Han Fuju was a cultured person, he had two specialties at that time, one was calligraphy and the other was poetry.When he joined Feng Yuxiang's team back then, because of these two talents, he was promoted from a soldier to the "secretary" of the battalion within half a year, and he was recognized as an "intellectual" in the army. Feng Yuxiang still attaches great importance to Han Fuju, and takes him with him in everything.At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Feng Yuxiang set up a secret anti-Qing organization "Martial Arts Research Association", and Han Fuju was also a member.After the incident came to light, Feng Yuxiang, Han Fuju and others were all expelled from the army. Fortunately, Feng Yuxiang later got the help of the old chief Lu Jianzhang and regrouped and pulled up a team.After Han Fuju learned about it, he defected to Feng Yuxiang again, and went from company commander to battalion commander, from regiment commander to brigade commander, and finally became division commander and army commander.

In Feng Yuxiang's eyes, Han Fuju was capable of fighting. He was called the "Four Little Tiger Generals" together with Sun Liangcheng, Shi Yousan, and Sun Lianzhong at that time, and he was highly regarded by Feng Yuxiang.During the Northern Expedition, Han Fuju's headquarters successively defeated Zhang Zongchang's Zhilu coalition army and Zhang Zuolin's Feng army, and became famous for a while, becoming a pivotal leader. In 1929, when Li Zongren led the Guangxi faction to fight against Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek sent someone to contact Feng Yuxiang to fight against Li Zongren. The contribution is just to wait and see temporarily, and help whoever wins.Unexpectedly, the Guangxi troops suddenly mutinied, and Chiang Kai-shek easily defeated Li Zongren and occupied Wuhan. As a result, Feng Yuxiang's plan failed.

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek also saw that Feng Yuxiang had bad intentions, so he tried to bribe Han Fuju and divide the Northwest Army to weaken Feng Yuxiang's power.Chiang Kai-shek and his wife invited Han Fuju to Wuhan Haosheng to entertain them, and they said "Brother Xiang Fang" (Han Fuju's word Xiangfang), and gave 100,000 oceans as a gift, which moved Han Fuju very much. He bought Han Fuju.After this word reached Feng Yuxiang's ears, a rift began to appear between Feng and Han. It turned out that the Northwest Army was run by Feng Yuxiang alone. Generals such as Han Fuju, Shi Yousan, and Sun Liangcheng were originally soldiers brought out by Feng Yuxiang. Under paternalistic rule, some senior generals have become division commanders, army commanders, and even provincial governors, and they are often reprimanded by Feng Yuxiang or sent to stand guard or even punished to kneel.It is said that once, Ji Hongchang was sued for some unknown reason. Feng Yuxiang then called Ji Hongchang, and the first sentence was "kneel down", and Ji Hongchang knelt down while holding the microphone. .After kneeling, Feng Yuxiang asked, "Did you kneel?" Ji Hongchang said, "Report to the commander-in-chief, you have kneeled." Feng Yuxiang then began to train people.Han Fuju was also punished to kneel in the yard. At that time, he was already the governor of Henan Province. Compared with Chiang Kai-shek's style of spring wind and rain, Feng Yuxiang's behavior was too hurtful to people's self-esteem.

In addition, during Feng Yuxiang's visit to the Soviet Union in 1926, Zhang Zuolin's Feng army defeated the Northwest Army in the Battle of Nankou. Generals from all walks of life were defeated and retreated westward one after another.In order to protect themselves, Han Fuju and Shi Yousan led their troops to temporarily vote for Yan Xishan. This not only made Feng Yuxiang feel bad, but also laid the groundwork for Chiang Kai-shek's later acquisition of Han and Shi. In the Central Plains War in 1930, Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang joined forces to deal with Chiang Kai-shek. Han Fuju and Shi Yousan disagreed with Feng Yuxiang's opinion, and turned their backs on Feng Yuxiang to Chiang Kai-shek. As a result, Han Fuju was appointed chairman of Shandong Province and gave way to Chiang Kai-shek's troops on the Henan front. Han Fuju dealt with Yan Xishan's Jin army on the Jinpu line. As a result of the Great War in the Central Plains, Feng and Yan were defeated, and Han Fuju retained his position as the chairman of Shandong Province, and Du Luda lasted for seven years.However, although Han Fuju left Feng Yuxiang, he did not turn against Feng Yuxiang.After Feng Yuxiang lost power, he went to Mount Tai twice to hide from the world. At that time, Han Fuju not only arranged all the board and lodging for Feng Yuxiang, but also included a battalion guard led by Feng Yuxiang. This shows that Feng and Han still have feelings. In fact, Feng Yuxiang’s ideological style had a great influence on Han Fuju, such as frugality and civilian thinking. After Han Fuju became a high-ranking official, he believed that pulling people and carrying people was the most unequal, so he never took a rickshaw or a sedan chair.Like Feng Yuxiang, Han Fuju always likes to play the image of Bao Gong who "makes decisions for the people". Stopped, he put up a posture on the open space of the platform to "accept grievances".Those who came to file complaints were judged on the spot after he questioned them, who should be arrested and who should be killed. The case was judged entirely based on personal feelings and likes and dislikes, and no objection was allowed. What's even more frightening is that Han Fuju's verdict must be executed immediately, and he doesn't care whether human life is at stake or whether he will create unjust, false or wrongly decided cases.However, some ordinary people agreed with his way of adjudicating cases. At that time, someone kowtowed to him after the verdict and shouted "Han Qingtian".At this time, Han Fuju was very proud, thinking that he was avenging justice for the people and eliminating harm for the people, as if he regarded himself as "the blue sky".At the next stop, Han Fuju followed suit. Fortunately, Han Fuju only tried the case for more than a year, and then stopped because of lack of time and energy.However, there are three kinds of cases that he wants to try in person: one is the bandit case. Shandong has always been famous for its thieves.The second is to ban smoking. Anyone who sells opium will be shot, regardless of the quantity.Those who smoked opium were beaten up the first time and the second time, and shot the third time, which actually frightened many people.The third is corrupt officials. Han Fuju set up a secret detective team, which is responsible for investigating the officials below. Those officials who take bribes will be shot if they fail. Han Fuju's trial of the case was actually followed by the style of the Northwest Army.There is such a joke that Feng Yuxiang has a regiment leader named Li Tuansha, who was sent by Feng Yuxiang to be the county magistrate, and he came back eight months later to report that the county he governed was originally famous for its pro-litigation, but he went to After that, there was no lawsuit.Feng Yuxiang asked him how he did it, and county magistrate Li said: "On the first day I took office, two brothers came to a lawsuit to divide the family property. Said, no matter which of you is right, you are blood brothers, and you have come to the point of a lawsuit. The elder brother is not like the elder brother, the younger brother is not like the younger brother, and he is not filial or friendly. It is too disgraceful! So I beat them with the army stick first, He also told those watching the excitement that the county magistrate hates the habit of being litigious the most, and whoever comes to sue in the future, I will beat him with 20 army sticks first! So within eight months, there was not a single lawsuit." During the New Life Movement, Han Fuju was also very insightful. He said: "Since it is a new life, the clothes and hairstyles of civil servants must be the same." Therefore, under his regulations, civil servants in Shandong must wear cloth uniforms (Feng Yuxiang In summer, they all wear white, white clothes, white hats, white socks, and white gloves; in spring, autumn and winter, they all wear black, black clothes, black hats, and black socks.The cadres under him sometimes joked: "Summer is a herd of white sheep, and winter is a herd of black pigs!" What's even more interesting is that Han Fuju still doesn't allow civil servants to keep their hair, and they have to shave their heads (similar to militarized management).Anyone who violates the rules and is discovered by him will be insulted and teased at least, or dismissed at worst.Once at a meeting of the provincial government, Han Fuju found a young civil servant with long hair. He stepped forward and took off his hat, grabbed his hair and cursed: "You are special, you are beautiful, you have foreign hair; you have dog hair!" Although Han Fuju surrendered to Chiang Kai-shek, Shandong under his jurisdiction was still a semi-independent area, so conflicts with Chiang Kai-shek were inevitable.In order to preserve his strength, Han Fuju expanded a lot of teams in Shandong. At that time, Chiang Kai-shek had promised the central government to allocate funds, but seeing that Han Fuju had expanded too much, he found various excuses to reject him, and Han Fuju did not wait. He arbitrarily withheld local taxes.In addition, the Kuomintang party officials sent by Chiang Kai-shek to Shandong were often made things difficult by Han Fuju, and some officials were even killed. This inevitably intensified the conflict between him and Chiang Kai-shek. However, although Han Fuju sometimes acted recklessly, because the situation in North China was already very delicate at that time, after Japan invaded and occupied the three eastern provinces, it extended its claws to Rehe, Chahar, Hebei and other places. important.Therefore, as long as Han Fuju obeyed the central government and resolutely stood up to the Japanese, Chiang Kai-shek did not care too much about him. However, after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War in 1937, the situation was different. Shandong soon became the front line of the Anti-Japanese War, and the situation was extremely urgent.Under heavy pressure, Feng Yuxiang once sent someone to Jinan to meet Han Fuju with a letter in his own hand. In the letter, he encouraged Han Fuju to be the national hero Yue Fei and live forever. (It is said that Feng Yuxiang also wrote in his diary: "Fuju, Fuju, you are a good boy, you will be a national hero, and you will die for the War of Resistance Against Japan!") But it is a pity that Han Fuju's performance shocked the whole country. Very disappointed. Under the massive Japanese attack, Han Fuju knew that he was invincible, but he still wanted to save some strength. Unexpectedly, as soon as he fought, his army was scattered. Han Fuju had to blow up the Yellow River Iron Bridge to prevent the Japanese army from crossing. Yellow River.Before the Han army could breathe, the Japanese army quickly crossed the Yellow River from the south of Qinghe Town to outflank Han Fuju. Han Fuju had no choice but to move the provincial capital to Cao County and continue to retreat southward. After withdrawing to Tai'an, Li Zongren, the chief of the fifth war zone, asked Han Fuju to defend against the natural danger, but Han Fuju called back saying: "If Nanjing does not defend, why should we guard Tai'an?" In January 1938, the Japanese army divided into two groups and advanced towards Jining. Han Fuju continued to retreat and planned to withdraw from Shandong and enter Henan in order to make a comeback. Han Fuju’s method of preserving strength was used as early as 1930 during the Central Plains War. At that time, after Yan Xishan’s Jin army captured Jinan, Han Fuju also led the army to fight and retreat. He always refused to fight the enemy with all his strength. Finally, he relied on Chiang Kai-shek’s army Only then did the Jin army be defeated.This time, Han Fuju repeated his old tricks, but he misread the situation this time, because this is not a civil war, but a critical moment of the nation's life and death. Any soldier with integrity should fight to the death. How can he save his strength?If everyone preserves their strength, how can China survive!Although Han Fuju had conflicts with Chiang Kai-shek, as a senior general, it is unreasonable to retreat without a fight in front of the enemy. On January 11, Chiang Kai-shek and Bai Chongxi went to Kaifeng to convene the front-line generals to hold a military meeting.Han Fuju was quite disturbed. At this time, he received a confidential telegram from Liu Xiang, saying that this meeting might be unfavorable to him, so he refused to reply the telegram on the pretext that the front line was in danger.After Chiang Kai-shek received the call, he immediately sent Jiang Bocheng to meet Han Fuju and ordered him to attend the meeting.Jiang Bocheng first approached Jin Wenxi of Han Fuju, and said: "Slinger Han and Chairman Jiang did have some misunderstandings, but these things don't matter. As soon as we meet and clarify the problem, it will be over. If Commander Han doesn't come, this opinion will get worse. The deeper the disturbance, the harder it will be for everyone to step down." Jin Wenxi thought it was reasonable, so he sent a telegram to Han Fuju urging him to attend the meeting. Han Fuju was still not at ease, so he sent a telegram to Li Zongren, the commander of the war zone, and Li Zongren also advised him to go to Kaifeng once.After Han Fuju arrived in Kaifeng, Liu Zhi, Bai Chongxi, and Li Zongren all came to pick him up, and Han Fuju's guards were properly arranged, so Han Fuju was a little relieved. At the military meeting, Chiang Kai-shek sharply criticized some generals for preserving their strength, fighting ineffectively or even retreating without a fight, but he did not name them, but all the generals at the meeting knew who Chiang Kai-shek was talking about.When talking about the Jinan issue, Han Fuju couldn't help but contradict him: "If Jinan doesn't keep it, I should be responsible. If Nanjing and Shanghai don't keep it, who will be responsible?" "Then someone will be responsible, don't worry about it!" In fact, regardless of whether Han Fuju contradicted him or not, Chiang Kai-shek had already arranged to arrest people as soon as the meeting was over. Later, Han Fuju was detained by the special agents and sent to Wuchang by train overnight for custody.Before long, the newspapers announced Han Fuju’s ten crimes: 1. Disobeying orders and retreating without authorization; 6. Distribution of opium; 7. Undermining the independence of the judiciary;As a result, the military court sentenced Han Fuju to death. On January 24, Han Fuju was shot and killed in the back by guarded secret agents without a court-martial (known as shooting to the outside world). He was 48 years old. Lu Lizhi, who once worked under Han Fuju, once wrote an article, saying that Han Fuju was an extraordinary person in terms of his attitude towards people, his speech, and his mentality. It's hard to find a second person", but it's a pity to end up like this in the end.
