Chapter 16 Appendix 2: General Fu Zuoyi, the Historical Hero of the Peaceful Liberation of Peking

Beiping has a history of human activities as early as 500,000 years ago in the prehistoric era. Longgu Mountain in Zhoukoudian, Fangshan County, is the place where the earliest "residents" of Peiping lived.She developed from an initial settlement on the North China Plain to an important city in northern my country, and finally became the political center of the entire country. It has gone through an extremely long and complicated process.Its time is not measured in hundreds or hundreds of years.But it has a long history like the history of our motherland. From more than 1000 BC, Beiping began its recorded history. At that time, it was called Ji. It was near Guang'anmen today.Qin Shihuang unified China and divided the world into 36 counties, and Jicheng was the seat of Guangyang County.From Qin, Han, through Wei, Jin, to the Northern and Southern Dynasties.For 800 years, Jicheng became more and more important.In the Sui Dynasty, Jicheng was the seat of Zhuo County, and in the Tang Dynasty it was collectively called Youzhou.In 938 A.D., the Khitan people who rose up in the north established the Liao Kingdom, with Jicheng as the accompanying capital, and renamed it Nanjing, also known as Yanjing.The Jurchens destroyed the Liao Dynasty and established the Kingdom of Jin. In 1153, the capital was moved to Ji, and it was called Zhongdu.The Mongols destroyed the gold and established the Yuan Dynasty, calling it Dadu.When the Ming army entered Dadu, it was renamed Beiping; after Ming Chengzu Zhu Di came to the throne, it was called Beijing.Prior to this, not only the name of Beijing was constantly changing, but also the site of the city was relocated frequently, and the scope of the urban area was constantly changing.The Qing Dynasty entered the customs and continued to establish its capital in Beijing, which was rebuilt by the Ming Dynasty, until the final collapse of the feudal dynasty.The Beiyang warlords headed by Yuan Shikai usurped the achievements of the 1911 Revolution, and all previous Beiyang governments used Beijing as their capital. In June 1928, the Northern Expeditionary Army entered Beijing, and the Feng army returned to the northeast; in July, Chiang Kai-shek held a military meeting in front of the Zhongshan Hall of Biyun Temple in Xishan. achievements.

Since 1901, there has been a strange phenomenon in Beiping (including Tianjin): the northern war has continued for years, and most of them are targeting Beiping, but no army dares to fight in the suburbs, let alone the urban area, so Beiping has always been It is a paradise.Among the wars, the most important were Zhang Xun's restoration in 1917, the first Zhifeng War in 1922, and the second Zhifeng War in 1924.And the Beijing coup launched by Feng Yuxiang and others in the same year, the battle of Yangcun between Feng Yuxiang's National Army of the Republic of China and the Zhilu Allied Forces in 1925, the Nankou War between the National Army and the Fengzhi and Zhilu Allied Forces in 1926, and the 1928 KMT Northern Expedition Army. The siege of Zhuozhou and the final battle with the Beiyang warlords, the melee between Jiang, Zhang and Feng, and Yan in 1930, the war against Shi Yousan by the Northeast warlords in 1931, and the outbreak of the sacred Anti-Japanese War at Lugou Bridge in 1937. During the time, there have been dozens of wars, big and small, all of which happened around Pingjin, but the two cities of Pingjin were spared from the war.What is the reason?The reason is very simple. This is because in semi-colonial China, Pingjin is an important industrial city, and foreigners occupy an important position here. Warlords of various factions and sizes are just lackeys of foreigners, so they dare not enter the city to fight.Although this is a sign of national humiliation, objectively, it has protected the cultural relics and historic sites and developed industry and commerce of Pingjin, as well as the life and property of the people of Pingjin, and saved the people of Pingjin from war disasters for more than 30 years.

However, as history progressed to the end of the 1940s, millions of troops from both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party gathered in the Beiping area, and their swords were on the verge of breaking out. What will happen to the fate of this thousand-year-old city?Let's take a look at the situation of the Democratic Party first: During the Battle of Pingjin in 1949, the situation and deployment of the Beiping defenders were as follows: Li Wen, commander of the 4th Corps and commander of the defense of Beiping, graduated from the first phase of Whampoa, and belonged to Hu Zongnan. Shi Jue, commander of the 9th Corps, graduated from Whampoa Phase 3, godson of Tang Enbo, and the backbone of the powerful Tang faction.

Yuan Pu, the commander of the 16th Army, graduated from the 6th Whampoa, and belonged to Hu Zongnan.During the Anti-Japanese War, the Ministry encircled the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, it was formed in Li Wen's 34th Army, together with Luo Lirong's 3rd Army, and came from the northwest to North China.The 22nd, 94th, and 109th subordinate divisions, among which the 22nd, 109th divisions and the military headquarters were annihilated by our army in the eastern section of Pingsui Road, reorganized and rebuilt.The department is located between Deshengmen and Andingmen.

Huang Xiang, commander of the 92nd Army, graduated from the 7th class of Huangpu.In the 7th period of the Army University, he was a subordinate of Zheng Dongguo at the beginning, and later served as the division commander of Qiu Qingquan's 5th Army. He participated in the expeditionary force during the Anti-Japanese War.This department originally belonged to Tang Enbo's family, but was later taken away by Chen Cheng and belonged to Chen Cheng's family.Jurisdiction over the 21st, 56th, 142nd and other 3 divisions.The department is located between You'anmen, Yongdingmen and Zuo'anmen, including Nanyuan Airport.

The commander of the 13th Army is Shi Juejian, a unit started by Tang Enbo, the trump card of the Tang family. At the beginning of 1936, the Red Army crossed the Yellow River and entered Shanxi. At the invitation of Yan Xishan, Chiang Kai-shek sent Tang Enbo to lead the army from Hunan to Shanxi for reinforcements, and went to Shaanxi to "suppress" the Red Army; The Japanese army fought.The 4th, 89th, 155th, and 297th divisions belonged to the army, among which the 155th division was reorganized and rebuilt after being wiped out by our army in Miyun.The department is located between Dongzhimen, Chaoyangmen and Guangqumen.

Liao Kang, the commander of the 31st Army, graduated from Whampoa Phase 3. He has been a subordinate of Zheng Dongguo for a long time and has also entered the Army University.The 205th Division to which it belonged was transferred from the new army trained by Chiang Kai-shek in Taiwan. Together with the 16th Army, it was deployed between Deshengmen and Andingmen. Zhu Dachun, the commander of the 35th Army, was born in the Northern Military Academy. He was originally the commander of the 17th Division of the 35th Army. After the army was wiped out in Xinbaoan, Fu Zuoyi rebuilt the 35th Army and was promoted to commander.It has three subordinate divisions, the 17th, 101st, and 32nd divisions. Except for the 17th division, the military headquarters and the 101st and 32nd divisions are all adapted and rebuilt.The 17th Division of the Ministry was deployed in Zhongnanhai as the general reserve force and Fu Zuoyi's guard force.

An Chunshan, the commander of the 104th Army, was born in the Northern Military Academy. He is Dong Qiwu's fellow countryman and a kowtow brother. He served as a battalion commander during the Anti-Japanese War.The military headquarters of the army and the 250th and 269th divisions were wiped out by our army on the East Ping-Sui Road section. An himself was captured and then escaped. The 258th division did not return to Zhangjiakou and was wiped out in Zhangjiakou.The army headquarters and its 31st, 26th, and 258th divisions were all adapted and rebuilt. Li Shilin, commander of the 101st Army (formerly the newly reorganized 2nd Army), graduated from Baoding Military Academy in the 8th term. He was a classmate with Chen Cheng. He followed Chen for many years and was Chen's right-hand man when he "encircled and suppressed" the Central Red Army.The army was expanded from 1 division and 1 brigade left by Sun Lianzhong of the former Baoding Sui Department. It belonged to 4 divisions, including the 271st, 272nd, 273rd, and 311th divisions. Among them, the 271st division fled to Zhangjiakou in Xuanhua It was adapted and rebuilt after being wiped out by our army on the way.A part of this army was deployed together with the 13th Army between Dongzhimen, Chaoyangmen and Guangqumen.

Liu Chunfang, commander of the new 4th Cavalry Division, served as Fu Zuoyi's staff officer for many years.This master is Fu's old army, deployed in Taoranting and Xiannongtan, as the general reserve team and Fu Zuoyi's guard force. In addition, there are also the North China "bandit suppression" headquarters and several units directly under it.A total of more than 250,000 people. In 1985, Fu Zuoyi was born in a peasant family in Linyi County, Shanxi Province. In 1918, after graduating from the Baoding Military Academy, he served in Yan Xishan's Jin army system and participated in the Northern Expedition, Yan and Feng's anti-Chiang war, and the Anti-Japanese War.

In 1939, he left Yan Xishan's army and served in the 8th theater. In 1947, he was appointed by Chiang Kai-shek as the commander-in-chief of the "Bandit Suppression" Command in North China. On December 6, Fu Zuoyi took office in Zhangyuan, and soon moved to Peiping to take over the military command of the five provinces in North China. At the end of January 1948, Fu Zuoyi's "Ace" 35th Army was dealt a devastating blow by the North China People's Liberation Army, which frustrated his spirit. On the night of October 25th and 12th, 1948, Fu and his confidant Wang Kejun had a private discussion on peaceful negotiations with the Communist Party.The next day Wang Kejun approached Fu Zuoyi's close friend for many years to discuss the peace issue.

On November 4, 1948, flew from Peking to Nanjing to attend the high-level military meeting hosted by Chiang Kai-shek.The next day, he had a secret talk with Chiang Kai-shek and flew back to Peiping. In early November, Fu Zuoyi sent the intention of the peace talks to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China through his daughter Fu Dongju (an underground member of the Communist Party of China). On November 18, 1948, Peng Zexiang and Fu Dingyi were sent to Shijiazhuang to contact the CCP. On December 14, 1948, the People's Liberation Army captured Fengtai in the Northeast 5th vertical and Xiangshan in the 11th vertical. Fu Zuoyi led the headquarters of the North China "Suppression General" under the cover of night and hurriedly moved from the western suburbs to Zhongnanhai.The next day, Liu Yalou, chief of staff of the Pingjin Front Command, negotiated with Fu Fang's representative. On December 23, 1948, Fu Zuoyi sent a telegram to Chairman Mao stating that the CCP should shoulder the responsibility for the founding of the country. On December 25, 1948, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China announced in the name of authorities that 43 people including Chiang Kai-shek were the most heinous first-class war criminals, and Fu Zuoyi's name was also listed. In the middle of the night of January 5, 1949, Fu Zuoyi and Major General Zhou Beifeng, chief of the civil affairs department, had a secret discussion on renegotiation with the CCP. On the morning of January 9, 1949, Lin Biao, Luo Rongyuan, Nie Rongzhen and Fu Zuoyi held formal peace negotiations on behalf of Zhou Beifeng and Zhang Dongsun. The liberation of Tianjin on January 14, 1949 directly promoted Fu Zuoyi's determination to resolve the Peking issue peacefully. On the morning of January 21, 1949, the Jurentang Conference Hall in Zhongnanhai was heavily guarded and the atmosphere was tense. After careful deployment, General Fu Zuoyi was going to convene a meeting of military and political personnel here to announce an agreement on the peaceful liberation of Peking.The meeting was presided over by Fu Zuoyi and delivered a speech. Wang Kejun read out the main points of the "Agreement on the Peaceful Settlement of the Peking Issue".After the meeting, Fu Zuoyi officially issued the "Agreement on the Peaceful Settlement of the Peking Issue" to the various ministries for implementation. In late January 1949, the peace talks between our party and Fu Zuoyi were successful, and Peking announced the peaceful liberation. On January 22, 1949, General Fu Zuoyi issued a proclamation, officially announcing the provisions of the implementation measures for the peaceful liberation of Peking.Various newspapers and periodicals published it one after another, and the Kuomintang Central News Agency also published General Fu Zuoyi's statement. Starting from January 26, 1949, the 200,000 Kuomintang troops in Beiping City were sent to designated locations outside the city in units of divisions, and all of them left the city on the 31st to receive reorganization. On February 3, 1949, the People's Liberation Army held a grand entrance ceremony to enter Beiping.Who will lose the ancient capital of Beiping?Finally returned to the hands of the Chinese people themselves.Beiping was liberated in a peaceful way, and the ancient capital for thousands of years was preserved. Who can replace General Fu Zuoyi as a historic hero? On February 21, 1949, Ye Jianying told Zhou Beifeng to tell Mr. Fu Zuoyi that tomorrow he would fly to Shijiazhuang on the same plane with members of the Shanghai People's Peace Delegation to meet Mao Zedong and the Party Central Committee. On February 22, 1949, after Fu Zuoyi, Deng Baoshan and Yan Youwen flew to Shijiazhuang, they changed trains and arrived at Xibaipo. Chairman Mao Zedong came to visit them in person that night.Fu Zuoyi said guiltily: "Chairman, I have been a soldier for half my life. Apart from resisting the Japanese, I have committed many crimes." On March 25, 1949, the Party Central Committee and Mao Zedong moved from Xibaipo, Pingshan to Beiping.Chairman Mao Zedong and Commander-in-Chief Zhu De reviewed the People's Liberation Army at Beiping Xiyuan Airport, and Fu Zuoyi and Deng Baoshan were invited to attend the review ceremony. After the uprising of General Fu Zuoyi, he loved the party and socialism. He served as a member of the Standing Committee of the first, second and third CPPCC National Committee, vice chairman of the fourth CPPCC, deputy to the first, second and third National People's Congress, vice chairman of the National Defense Commission, Ministry of Water Resources and Hydropower Minister. In 1955, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress awarded him the First Class Liberation Medal.Chairman Mao Zedong personally awarded honors to Fu Zuoyi. On April 18, 1974, General Fu Zuoyi was critically ill. Premier Zhou Enlai visited him on behalf of Chairman Mao Zedong and said: "Chairman Mao said that you have made great contributions to the people!" At 13:40 on April 19, 1974, the patriotic general Fu Zuoyi passed away. Premier Zhou Enlai presided over the memorial service, and Ye Jianying delivered a eulogy. The party and the government spoke highly of General Fu Zuoyi's history of promoting the peaceful liberation of Beiping! (1) Initial changes in Fu Zuoyi's thought In 1947, on the North China battlefield, after the two battles of Qingfengdian and Shijiazhuang, the strength of the Kuomintang army was severely hit by the People's Liberation Army. In order to reverse the situation, Chiang Kai-shek decided to abolish the two appeasement offices in Baoding and Zhangyuan, and established the "Bandit Suppression Bureau" in North China. "The headquarters appointed Fu Zuoyi as the commander-in-chief, and pinned the hope of saving North China on Fu Zuoyi. On December 6, Fu Zuoyi took up a new post in Zhangyuan, and soon moved to Peiping to take over the military command of the five provinces in North China.Fu Zuoyi really took a lot of thought and took some measures, organized some local teams to serve as defenses, pulled out the main force to concentrate on operations; transferred his main force in Suiyuan to the east to gather near Peiping; The troops in the Baoding area were organized into three corps: the Pingsui Corps, the Pinghan Corps, and the Jinpu Corps. wipe out.But less than two months after he came to power, in the battles of Laishui and Zhuangtong north of Baoding, the North China People's Liberation Army's 3rd and 1st verticals dealt a heavy blow to his "ace" 35th Army. The 32nd Division was wiped out, the 101st Division was defeated, Lieutenant General Lu Yinglin was forced to commit suicide, Major General Li Mingding and many other senior officers were killed by the People's Liberation Army.This is undoubtedly a great blow to Fu Zuoyi's spirit. In October 1948, the Kuomintang army was stretched everywhere, and the "suppressing the general" in North China was the only strategically maneuverable force of the Kuomintang Chiang Kai-shek.Chiang Kai-shek not only wanted Fu Zuoyi to stick to North China and delay the People's Liberation Army going south, so as to cover their reorganization of troops in the south of the Yangtze River, but also wanted to send all the North China troops to the south or reinforce the East China battlefield, or hold the Yangtze River for a desperate struggle.At this time, Chiang Kai-shek asked Fu Zuoyi to move the family members of the army south to Fuzhou, and use it as a rear base. If necessary, the troops could be withdrawn to Qingdao first, and the cameras would be transported to the southeast coast by sea. After Fu Zuoyi transferred the family group to Pingjin and Tianjin, he hesitated and did not move south again.He has his own plans. At 12 o'clock on the night of October 25, Fu Zuoyi ordered his personal guards and orderlies to stay away. He said to the orderlies: "Pour a cup of tea and call Wang Kejun, and you will be fine. You don't have to wait in the house." Wang Kejun He was the political director of the Ministry of Fu, and Fu Shen came to Fu Zuoyi's residence in a hurry when he found him in the middle of the night to find out something important.Fu asked Wang Kejun to sit down and said, "Let's talk." Wang Kejun asked what to talk about, but Fu Zuoyi asked back, "What do you want to talk about?" Wang Kejun thought, it must be the time for Fu to make a decision , and asked: "Do you want to talk about a matter that we have talked about many times since Zhangjiakou but haven't talked thoroughly, and now we need to make a decision?" Fu Zuoyi nodded affirmatively, and said, "Yes. There is no one around right now, so you can speak out what you think." Then, Fu Zuoyi talked a lot, talking about his good friends who are now advocating peaceful negotiations, many talented progressives who have gone to the Communist Party, and the recent resignation of Army Commander Zheng.When talking about the "important matter" that Chiang Kai-shek flew back to Shanghai in a hurry recently, Fu Zuoyi sighed and said: "Chiang Kai-shek doesn't love Jiangshan and beautiful women. We can no longer trust him blindly." Fu Zuoyi also talked about his views on the future of the war, the support of the people, and the difference between the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation, etc.During the conversation, the two also talked about how Jiang wanted to downsize Fu Zuoyi's troops in 1945, but recently they generously expanded them; Liang and Wei Lihuang's viciousness, when it comes to having to go their own way and so on.The conversation naturally focused on an old question: "Where is our future? Who is the one who can really make China independent, unified and rejuvenated?" The conclusion of this conversation is: the Kuomintang will surely lose, the Communist Party will surely win, support Chairman Mao and the Communist Party It is the trend of the times and the aspiration of the people. Mao Zedong is the hope of the prosperity of the country and the nation. At present, we must make a decisive decision to break away from Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang clique and follow the path of the people. The next day, Wang Kejun went to discuss the matter with Liu Houtong.Liu is Fu's close friend for many years and came to Peiping from Tianjin.Fu had a close relationship with Liu when he was the garrison commander in Tianjin.After the Japanese invaded North China, Fu left a radio station and some personnel for Liu.During the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War and the Suiyuan Anti-Japanese War, Liu often used this radio station to provide information on the Japanese and puppet military or give advice on staff. This station was not destroyed by the enemy until shortly before the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.Liu's daughter is a member of Minqing, a peripheral organization of our party, and the underground party mobilized Liu Houtong to meet Fu.Liu and Wang Kejun did not disagree in principle, but did not agree on specific practices.Liu advocated that regardless of the three seven twenty-one, just send an uprising and power on.Wang Kejun said that this was the method in the era of the Revolution of 1911, and the current situation is much more complicated than before.He believes that it is impossible to achieve the purpose of keeping the thousand-year-old cultural relics and historic sites in Beiping from being destroyed, and the people's lives and property from being ruined. It is even difficult to guarantee the safety of Fu Zuoyi's life.The result of the final negotiation was to try to send a telegram to Chairman Mao Zedong through the underground party. (2) Fu Zuoyi's behavior during the peaceful liberation of Beiping 1. Fu Zuoyi participated in the Nanjing Senior Military Conference to deal with Chiang Kai-shek On November 4, 1948, at Beiping Nanyuan Military Airport, an American-made "Sky Fortress" aircraft roared into the sky, rose into the blue sky, and flew towards Nanjing.It turned out that Fu Zuoyi was ordered by Chiang Kai-shek to fly to Nanjing to attend the high-level military meeting. The next day, Chiang Kai-shek invited Fu Zuoyi to his official residence for a small high-level secret meeting.At the meeting, Chiang Kai-shek scolded Chen Cheng and Xiong Shihui, and completely pushed the responsibility for the loss of the Northeast on them.Then he completely changed his face and expressed his comfort to Fu Zuoyi, and then told him about Fu Zuoyi's withdrawal to the south, and believed that Fu Zuoyi would never disappoint his trust.Fu Zuoyi thought to himself that at this time and here, he could not take the attitude of categorically rejecting the southward withdrawal, otherwise, he would be in danger of being detained by Chiang Kai-shek.Therefore, when discussing the battle plan, Fu Zuoyi made a speech completely in the attitude of the main battle: "I think there is still a way to reverse the crisis in North China. There are still 600,000 troops in North China, which can fight and defend. Our army should stick to peace, Jin and Tang, relying on the sea to fight. The south withdrawal plan should not be carried out unless it is absolutely necessary, because sticking to North China is the overall situation, and retreating to the southeast is partial security.” Fu Zuoyi’s speech moved Chiang Kai-shek, who had illusions. He expressed his appreciation and immediately expressed his respect for Fu Zuoyi's opinion.As soon as the meeting ended, Fu Zuoyi flew back to Peiping immediately. 2. Underground party struggle for work ①The establishment of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China In September 1945, under the leadership of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Central Bureau of the Communist Party of China, the Beiping Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China was established, with Liu Ren as secretary, Wu Guang as deputy secretary and head of organization, and Zhou Xiaozhou as head of propaganda.Actively carry out various activities and organize the anti-Chiang struggle. ②Fu Zuoyi’s classmate and sworn brother Zeng Yanyi offer advice ③ Persuasion from Fu Zuoyi’s teacher Liu Houtong ④ Persuasion from Fu Zuoyi's daughter Fu Dongju 3. Motivation of Fu Zuoyi's officers ①Persuasion by Li Tengjiu, Li Tengjiu, Li Tengjiu, Major General under Fu Zuoyi ② Speech at the military meeting of An Chunshan, commander of the Fu army 4. Peking Scholars and Celebrities Support General Fu While trying to communicate with the Communist Party, Fu Zuoyi invited some scholars and celebrities in Peking to seek their opinions in order to gain public support for a peaceful solution to the Peking issue.The famous Chinese painting master Xu Beihong was the first to stand up and speak.Firmly and powerfully said: "Peking is a world-renowned cultural ancient city, and it is also rare in the world's architectural art treasure house. In order to protect my country's excellent ancient culture from destruction, and to protect the lives and properties of the people of Peiping, from Suffering losses, I hope that General Fu Zuoyi will take into account the overall situation and obey the public opinion, so as to save Beiping from being destroyed by artillery fire..." Professor Yang Renmei, a famous historian, also said: "If General Fu can obey the public opinion and take peaceful actions, the Peking was saved from artillery fire, and as a historian, I must make a special note about this deed.” 5. The heavy pressure of the People's Liberation Army on Fu Jun Under the heavy military blow of the People's Liberation Army, under the strong instigation of the Peking underground party and the request of social progress, General Fu Zuoyi finally made a decision to hold peace talks with the Communist Party. The victory or defeat on the battlefield determines General Fu Zuoyi's attitude towards the peace talks. In order to break Fu Zuoyi's illusion of relying on his own strength to establish a so-called coalition government in North China, the People's Liberation Army North China The 2nd Corps launched an attack on Fu Zuoyi's elite 35th Army surrounded in Xinbaoan, and wiped them all out. 6. Fu Zuoyi presided over the military meeting to peacefully resolve the Peking issue Finally, General Fu Zuoyi followed the trend of history and carried out the action of peacefully liberating Peiping. The morning of January 21, 1949.The Jurentang Conference Hall in Zhongnanhai was heavily guarded and the atmosphere was tense. After careful deployment, General Fu Zuoyi would convene a meeting of senior military and political personnel here to announce an agreement to peacefully resolve the Peking issue.Generals above the military division of the Kuomintang troops stationed in Peiping, as well as relevant personnel from the Beiping City Government, the Hebei Provincial Government and the Kuomintang troops stationed in Pingping attended the meeting. The meeting was chaired by Fu Zuoyi, and Wang Kejun first read out the main points of the "Agreement on the Peaceful Settlement of the Peking Issue".Then, General Fu Zuoyi spoke. He asked everyone to work hard to protect public property and archives, work with peace of mind, and prepare to take over. In the future, there will be opportunities to properly arrange work. After the meeting, Fu Zuoyi officially issued the "Agreement on the Peaceful Settlement of the Peking Issue" to the various ministries for implementation. On January 22, 1949, General Fu Zuoyi issued a proclamation, officially announcing the provisions of the implementation measures for the peaceful liberation of Peking.Various newspapers and periodicals published it one after another, and the Kuomintang Central News Agency also published General Fu Zuoyi's statement. 7. Fu Zuoyi's troops accept adaptation From January 26, 1949, the 200,000 Kuomintang troops in the city of Beiping drove to designated locations outside the city in units of divisions, and all of them left the city on January 31 to receive reorganization. On February 3, 1949, the People's Liberation Army held a grand entrance ceremony to enter Beiping. 8. Fu Zuoyi's visit to Xibaipo to meet Mao Zedong After the peaceful liberation of Beiping, General Fu Zuoyi believed that he was responsible for the war in North China during the War of Liberation and should be punished by the people. Instead of blaming the past, the Party Central Committee and Mao Zedong did work for Fu Zuoyi among the Communist Party members and the masses. Obtain the understanding of the people, and have always given trust and care. 9. The placement and evaluation of General Fu Zuoyi by the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao Zedong The Communist Party of China and Chairman Mao Zedong also made proper arrangements for the work of General Fu Zuoyi.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, at the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference held on the eve of the founding ceremony, Mao Zedong asked Wang Zhao, the representative of the 19th Corps (the political commissar of the 64th Army at the time): The central government gave Mr. Fu Zuoyi a minister of water resources. Are the comrades in your Corps convinced?Wang Zhao replied, we have never been convinced by him when it comes to war!Mao Zedong smiled, and said kindly to Wang Zhao: You have to work after you go back! ''Mr. Fu handed over Beiping to the people intact, this is a great credit!More credit than any of our generals for leading troops to defeat Beiping!With such great credit, why shouldn't he be the Minister of Water Resources? !When Wang Zhao spread this matter to the army, everyone said that Chairman Mao stood tall and saw far. After the uprising, General Fu Zuoyi has always loved the Chinese Communist Party and socialism. He served as a member of the Standing Committee of the first, second and third CPPCC National Committee, vice chairman of the fourth CPPCC, deputy to the first, second and third National People's Congress, and vice chairman of the National Defense Commission.
