Chapter 25 Commander Guan beat up Li Zonghuang in the first quarter

From November 9th to 16th, 1945, Chiang Kai-shek held a demobilization and reorganization meeting. Lu Han was summoned and flew from Vietnam to Chongqing to attend the meeting.The purpose of Jiang Zhaolu's participation in this meeting was to transfer the Yunnan Army to the Northeast battlefield to participate in the upcoming decisive battle with the Communist Army.After Lu Han arrived in Chongqing, he tested Chiang Kai-shek's attitude by actively asking to "resign from his post and hold various positions".Jiang originally planned to remove Lu Han from the position of provincial chairman in order to realize his promise to Li Zonghuang, but in view of the complicated situation in Kunming, he felt that the time was not yet ripe, so he had to retain Lu Han and said: "Li Zonghuang is not doing well in Yunnan. Renyi needs you to take up the chairmanship. Stabilize the place.”

At this time, Lu Han was already under control. Although he was dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's actions and intentions, he was unable to immediately countermeasures. Wish, under Jiang's coercion and temptation, finally agreed to serve as the chairman of Yunnan Province with complicated emotions.In exchange, Lu promised Chiang that he would hand over all the Yunnan Army under his command so that it could be sent to the northeast to participate in the anti-communist civil war. When Lu Han took the opportunity to visit Long Yun, who had been under surveillance in Chongqing, Long angrily blamed Lu Han for breaching the contract during the Kunming incident and not "returning to the army as soon as he heard the news", so that Yunnan was taken by Chiang Kai-shek.After blaming him, Long told Lu again: The National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference will be held in January next year. During the "Political Consultative Conference, our troops will still stay in Vietnam. Don't go back to Yunnan for the time being. Let's see how the meeting develops. If peace is achieved in the country , you can go back to Yunnan to carry out decommissioning and demobilization work, and restore local order. In case of a rupture, you can electrify against the civil war in Vietnam and act in unison with the democratic parties. You can immediately electrify against Chiang, fight back to Yunnan, and eliminate everything Chiang Kai-shek has in Yunnan power".

At this time, Long Yun's situation is easily reminiscent of that during the Second World War in Zhifeng in 1924, Cao Won, who was the short-headed president of the Republic of China, gave him his favorite general, the second person in the direct line, who was stationed in Luoyang and held military power. The telegram sent by General Wu Peifu requesting him to lead his troops to beg: "You are me, and I am you. I will do whatever you want me to do. Although relatives are close, it is better to be close to yourself." At this time, with the cage Long Yun, who is almost the same as the prisoner, seems to have really reached the twilight years of a martyr who is "still able to eat", and he is so confused.The so-called situational interaction refers to this moment and that moment.Although Long Yun thinks that he is as close to Lu Han as brothers, no matter how close a brother is, he is not as close as he is to himself. Due to the situation and considering his own future, Lu has already secretly reached an agreement with Chiang Kai-shek. Back to Yunnan, pull the pole and lead the army to rebel?Therefore, Lu hesitated and hesitated about the strategy proposed by Long Yun.This move disappointed Long, but he still imagined that other generals of the Yunnan army who had entered Vietnam could rise up against Chiang, make a comeback, and regain the throne of "King of Yunnan".

Not long after, Zeng Zesheng, commander of the 60th Army of the Yunnan Army, Lu Junquan, commander of the 93rd Army, and five division commanders Pan Shuoduan, Long Yao, Bai Zhaoxue, Xu Yijun, Li Yuntao, and Chief of Staff Er Xiaoqing, who went to Vietnam to accept the surrender, were all sent to Vietnam by telegram. Called to Chongqing for a meeting.Long Yun invited the generals to dinner. In the conversation, apart from accusing the Yunnan Army that entered Vietnam during the Kunming Incident on October 3 for not returning to rescue, he also said to them: "The CPPCC will hold a meeting, and the current situation will change soon. The Yunnan Army cannot blindly follow. You must not drive to the Northeast, you should return to Yunnan, and you must not allow Li Zonghuang, Guan Linzheng and others to destroy places." After the meal, they specially invited Zeng Zesheng and Lu Junquan to have a secret talk, and instructed three points (one) to call all generals for a meeting after returning to Echigo, and announced Chiang Kai-shek is guilty of dictatorship and openly opposes Chiang; (2) Hand over the surrender of Vietnam to Ho Chi Minh, and you lead the Yunnan Army back to Kunming to save your hometown; (3) Chiang Kai-shek is arranging an anti-communist civil war, and October 3 is the first shot of the civil war .After he got rid of Yunnan, he was going to fight the Communist Party, and the Yunnan soldiers could not be cannon fodder for the anti-Communist civil war.The so-called phoenix on the ground is not as good as a chicken, and the tiger falling on the plain is bullied by dogs.Just like Lu Han's performance, the generals of the Dian army hummed on the surface to the shriveled "Earth Dragon King" who had already peeled off his scales and broken his tail, was dying, and only had a few black and yellow beards trembling slightly in anger, but in his heart he Thinking about their own concerns, thinking about their own calculations, how could they care about the wishful and ignorant chatter of this down-and-out former boss?Not long after, the world saw the fact that all the Yunnan troops who entered Vietnam and were surrendered were transferred to the Northeast to participate in the civil war. Long Yun was heartbroken when he learned about it. In May 1946, Pan Shuodan, commander of the 184th Division of the 60th Army, led his troops to revolt in Haicheng; in October 1948, Zeng Zesheng, commander of the 60th Army, led his troops to revolt in Changchun and surrendered to the Communist Army. A little family fortune, but all this has nothing to do with Long Yun. On December 9, 1949, under the pressure of the CCP army, Lu Han led his troops to hold the Kunming Uprising in the way of a man who knows current affairs as a hero, and Yunnan declared a peaceful liberation.Of course, this is something.

Let's say that Lu Han accepted Chiang Kai-shek's order without bringing a single soldier, just like a phoenix whose hair has been plucked or a tiger whose skin was skinned, and he returned to Yunnan to serve alone. At 8 o'clock in the morning on December 1, Li Zonghuang handed over to Lu Han hastily in the provincial government hall, and then hurried back to the provincial party headquarters, ordering his party members to rush out.Lu Han, who didn't know the inside story, specially ordered someone to book a sumptuous lunch in the most famous hotel teahouse in Kunming, and planned to celebrate himself sitting on the tiger-skin chair of "King of Yunnan".Just when all the guests arrived and Lu Han raised his glass and wanted to say something, his second officer rushed to report in a panic, saying that the big thing was not good. , poke sticks, grenades, fire sticks, and iron rods for roast beef kebabs were all used, and people were killed... Lu Han listened carefully to the whole story in shock, only to learn that it was not flowers and wine, but four people who greeted him. A corpse and a bloody thigh.Facing the tragedy, Lu Han was furious, and yelled "What a weasel, fuck you" through gritted teeth, dropped the wine glass in his hand on the spot, kicked over two chairs, three flower pots and two wine bottles.Lu believes that this move is obviously Li Zonghuang's trick to kill with a knife in order to embarrass himself.But in view of the situation that has formed, I have no firm foothold, so I have to suppress my anger, concentrate on carefully moving up and down, left and right, and wait for changes.

After the massacre, Guan Linzheng, the commander-in-chief of the Yunnan Provincial Police, went to the campus to inspect the campus in the capacity of a military officer to hide his eyes and ears.According to a report compiled and printed by the Student Self-Government Federation at that time: "Guan Linzheng came to the new campus of the United Nations University on December 1 to inquire about the truth about the '12.1' tragedy. After I explained the truth to him, Guan Linzheng said:' I am in charge of all this. I am in charge of public security. I will definitely find out this matter for you. After the murderer is caught, I will kill him in front of you. Once I come here, I will be unlucky. First, the police, and now It’s the students who happened. The students’ affairs are the most difficult to deal with. It’s more difficult for me to deal with you than a hundred thousand enemies. It’s really nerve-wracking. It’s reasonable for students to have troubles.’( The classmate coaxed: "We are absolutely reasonable.") Then the classmate asked him to be responsible for the cost of the medical coffin. The injured students were transported to the hospital.' Guan said: 'No problem, go to the police headquarters, we will send a car to take them away.' Later, Guan left." From this record, it can be seen that at this time The Guan family is still immersed in a group of high-spirited excitement and confusion, and has not yet realized the serious consequences of this tragedy.

On December 2, Ye Qisun sent a telegram to Minister of Education Zhu Jiahua in the name of the Acting Standing Committee Member of the Southwest Associated University, reporting the tragedy and the number of casualties, and said, "I have notified Director Zhou of the Jun Department and the Yunnan Garrison Command of the incident to the nearest place. In addition to requesting inspection and taking measures, it is reasonable to report to the Jun Department according to the facts, and pray for the review. In addition to sub-submitting to Chairman Jiang and Dean Song, I also invite Jun Zuo to come to Kunming to deal with it personally. I am urgently waiting for orders!"

Not long after, the Central Propaganda Group of the Kuomintang learned about the Kunming massacre and discussed it.Tang Zong, who was in charge of intelligence work in Chiang Kai-shek's attendant room, immediately called Guan Linzheng after the meeting, and rushed to write a report that night and submitted it to Chiang Kai-shek.At this time, the military and political officials in Kunming had already smelled that the campus bloody case was more ominous to their future and fate, so between Guan Linzheng and Li Zonghuang, between the "Central Command" and "Military Command" of the Kuomintang spy faction, Sanqing Chaos began between the regiment and the plainclothes team.In order to protect themselves and shirk their responsibilities, the party members and secret agents of Li Zonghuang's system who attacked the United Teachers College quarreled with the students of the fifth army plainclothes team and officer corps of Guan Linzheng and Qiu Qingquan's system. , until there were mutual fights and vicious fights.As a result, nearly a hundred people fought together with spears, benches, shovels, fire sticks and other instruments, and became a ball.In contrast to this fight scene, fierce quarrels broke out between Li and Guan, who were originally united and active in the outside world.Li Zonghuang is still headstrong, arrogant and arrogant, and a bit cunning and cunning.Guan Linzheng has the special temperament of a warrior, fierce and fierce, with a cannonball temper and a relatively simple mind.On November 25th, when the joint meeting was arranged to destroy the students’ night assembly and parade, Guan Linzheng put on a brave posture and gave orders to the participants: “If you can’t complete your mission tonight, you should commit suicide.” , Judging from the tone of this sentence, Guan is worthy of being a first-year student of Whampoa and a loyal successor of Chiang Kai-shek's nature.Jiang regarded himself as a revolutionary soldier, and often scolded his subordinates harshly, accompanied by reprimands such as "you die quickly". Guan's "suicide" theory is actually a continuation of Jiang's "death". The state is all in this statement.

On the evening of the 26th, at a meeting of school principals above secondary school convened by the Yunnan Provincial Government, Guan Linzheng even admitted that he had ordered the soldiers to shoot on the evening of the 25th, and said domineeringly, stupidly, and naively: “They have a meeting Freedom, I have the freedom to shoot a gun." Because most of the attendees knew Guan's cannon-barrel personality and his unrestrained temper, they heard it and didn't think too much about it at the time.However, when the matter developed to the point where the army threw grenades at the school and caused a bloody murder, Guan’s words were recalled again by everyone, and quickly spread among the public, and finally interpreted as “the army has the freedom to kill”.As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of talk, but Guan Linzheng couldn't explain it, there was nothing he could do.At this time, under the advice of the counselors around him, Mrs. Guan calmed down and thought about it, only to realize that what she had done in the past was completely fooled by Li Zonghuang, an old politician, and regretted that as a senior general in the army, she should not Recklessly getting involved in such local incidents, especially student riots.In fact, the person who was pushed out as the army to preside over the joint action committee (anti-strike committee) established after the 25th was Qiu Qingquan, the commander of the Fifth Army of the Central Army. It was also not him who implicated someone who participated in the "January 1st" violence among the students of the Corps.When the bloody incident happened and things became serious, the one Guan Linzheng hated the most was not Qiu Qingquan but Li Zonghuang.Qiu Qingquan, nicknamed "Crazy Qiu", has a more violent and rebellious personality than Guan Linzheng, and his behavior is always crazy, which makes people feel uneasy.Guan believes that Qiu, as a warrior who is more straightforward than himself, was also fooled by Li Zonghuang, an old party stick, and got into Li's crotch ignorantly, and unknowingly became his "second child". ".Therefore, when someone was about to come forward to bear the responsibility for ordering the murder, Guan Linzheng naturally stood by Qiu Qingquan, and tried his best to explain and relieve Qiu and all the soldiers involved in this incident, because only the soldiers can be freed, and he can be freed Possibly, it can be said that one loses and all loses, and one prospers.Afterwards, in his secret telegrams sent to Chongqing and in his public talks, he repeatedly emphasized that Li Zonghuang and his subordinates, the Three Youth League and secret agents, were the real culprits of the massacre, and stated that all information came from Li's subordinates. Secret Service, and these people are not under his jurisdiction, so he "can't control the situation" for this kind of thing, he can only sit back and watch it intensify without being able to stop it.Li Zonghuang, who was sitting in a panic in the chair of the Provincial Party Headquarters, suddenly saw that his former ally Guan Linzheng wanted to get out of his shell, and hit back, putting all the sins on his head, trying to put himself to death, and immediately became furious. Driving to the police headquarters, you need to understand the theory with Guan.

In the reception room of the Garrison Headquarters, Li Zonghuang relied on the old to sell the old, and with the veteran qualifications of Baoding Military Academy, he wanted to teach this late-stage Whampoa first-year student (Note: Many heads and instructors of Whampoa came from Baoding Military Academy. In a broad sense, Baoding and The two schools of Whampoa have a teacher-in-training relationship).Unexpectedly, at this time, Guan Linzheng could no longer care about the gap in seniority, and his parents were short-lived.And now there are two officials, civil and military, who are in charge of each other. Everyone is a master, and no one should treat the other as a grandson.Seeing Li Zonghuang coming to the door and making noise, Guan Linzheng was so angry that he suddenly pulled out a pistol from his waist, slapped it on the table with a "bang", jumped up and yelled at Li Zonghuang, "I don't want to be a butcher, this I leave it to you to be the butcher!"

Li Zonghuang saw that Xiaoguan was playing prestige in front of his old revolutionary predecessor, so he rushed forward with "the revolutionary spirit of never bowing to evil forces" and shouted: "Damn it, Xiaoguan!" , Do you want to rebel?!" Aiming at the opponent's round and fat head like a watermelon (according to the south: Guan is tall and strong, the people in the world gave him the nickname Guan Fatty, or Guan Master) is a loud slap in the face .Guan Linzheng, who is dressed in military uniform, is as imposing as a rainbow, and looks like a wolf like a tiger in terms of age. Seeing that this old bastard dared to run wild and playful on his one-acre three-point land, it was like breaking ground on his head, and wiped dung on the Buddha's head , Peeing in the Stove King Temple, the flames on his head "chucked" up.Commander-in-Chief Guan, who was extremely angry, didn't think much about it, and took a step back suddenly, in a tiger-step posture, and aimed at Li Zonghuang's lower abdomen with all his strength, which was a lower uppercut.With a muffled sound of "噗", Li Shi, who was already emaciated and nearly sixty years old, fell to the ground with all four claws facing the sky, kicking crookedly.Seeing this, Fatty Guan still hated him, so he took advantage of the situation and stepped forward to kick Li's buttocks twice until Li Zonghuang yelled "Help".All the officers and guards surrounded the general, pulling and tugging, and finally pulled Guan Linzheng, who was furious, aside to stop the attack.After Li and Guan fought each other, in order to defend himself, Guan Linzheng sent someone to find two British professors from the United Nations University to explain the incident to him. He hoped that the two professors could stand on the sidelines and analyze rationally and impartially. , View the merits and demerits of this incident, and convey the real situation to the international community.Guan has repeatedly stated that he did not instigate the shooting on the night of the 25th, nor was he the mastermind of the December 1 massacre.In the end, Li Zonghuang scolded Li Zonghuang for designing a trap with ill intentions to harm himself, and said angrily: "No matter what happens, they will accuse me of the crime." When the military and political authorities in Yunnan fell into chaos, on the morning of December 3, Chiang Kai-shek asked Tang Zong in the attendant room about the situation of the Kunming student movement.Tang immediately conveyed Jiang's intentions to Guan Linzheng and the provincial chairman Lu Han by phone.At 4:00 p.m., Jiang asked again about the situation in Kunming, expressing his anxiety and concern, saying: "This student unrest is different from the past. There was a bloody case. The murderer must be tracked down to quell public anger and public opinion at home and abroad, otherwise the student strike will not stop. " Under the pressure of the highest authorities in Chongqing, the local authorities of Yunnan Province formally opened a "public trial" for bombing criminals in the military court of the Garrison Command on the morning of the 4th.The presiding judge was Lu Han, the newly appointed provincial chairman, the chief judge of the Military Law Department of Qiu Qingquan's Fifth Army, and Li Zonghuang and Guan Linzheng were jurors.None of the schools in Kunming sent representatives to participate, and some professors of the United Nations University only attended in their private capacity.After the trial, Chen Qida and Liu Youzhi, two retired military officers, were announced on the spot as murderers, sentenced to death and shot immediately;In order to connect the incident with the Communist Party’s incitement to sabotage, Li Zonghuang instructed the party members to make up a bizarre story. Occasionally, he was instigated by a Communist Party member who claimed to be Jiang Kai, and the grenade was also provided by that person. Jiang Kai also paid each person 30,000 French currency.After this clumsy fictional story was transmitted to Chongqing by secret telegram, even Chiang Kai-shek, who lived deep in the palace, did not believe it. On the morning of the 5th, Jiang summoned Tang Zong and others from the attendant to listen to the report on the Kunming tragedy, and clearly pointed out: "The news of the public interrogation of the Kunming student tragedy publicly pointed out what the Communist Party did. The details should be announced." The intention is to imply that Li Zonghuang and others should not continue to embarrass themselves, the fabricated story is too childish, and the story will be made up before it is announced to the public, otherwise it will be despised by the world, and if it is not done, it will be burned. , Involved in a big mess that is unclear, unknown, and getting darker and darker. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek didn't know that the whole process of the so-called public trial, sentence of death and execution of criminals was a scam played by Guan Linzheng, Qiu Qingquan and others.The so-called murderer, Chen Qida, was the battalion commander of the Artillery Battalion of the Fifth Army who robbed gold; the other was the captain of the Fifth Army who sold military uniforms.At that time, both were detained in the Military Law Department of the Fifth Army.Instigated by senior generals such as Guan and Qiu, the Military Law Department coerced and lured them, and the two criminals agreed to make a public appearance and publicly admit to being the "murderer" of the tragedy.During the trial, the two criminals were confusedly put into a prison van and shot in the suburbs.
