During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, this incident undoubtedly caused a sensation throughout the Kuomintang. Although Han Fuyu was once a famous general during the warlord war, he eventually lost his life to Chiang Kai-shek's men. Han Fuyu, who was once known as one of the "Thirteen Taibao of Feng Yuxiang", was so severely punished by Chiang Kai-shek?
If you want to talk about Han Fuyu's past, it is really a wonderful and legendary life. This poor boy who was born in a scholarly family in Baxian County, Hebei Province, was just around the corner to inherit his father's "Mr. Teaching" road. But fate seems to have arranged another bumpy future for him.
When he was a teenager, the Boxer Rebellion broke out, the Han family's house was completely burned down, and Han Fuyu had to drop out of school. When he was 14 years old, he was accepted by his relatives and married the niece of a famous local family. Newly married Yan'er, the burden of life is on his shoulders. But the man from the poor family was penniless, and Han Fuyu could only find a meager job in the county government to make ends meet. Life was too tight, and in order to solve the urgent needs of his family, he had to embark on the wrong path of gambling.
Unlucky, this gamble is exhausted, and a large amount of gambling debts are owed. In order to escape debts, Han Fuyu had to leave his hometown and wanted to go to his brother who made a living in the Northeast. Unexpectedly, he and his brother were separated like this. Penniless, he could only join the army in the end and was incorporated into the Qing army under Feng Yuxiang.
From this moment on, Han Fuyu's fate changed. With his outstanding martial arts and wisdom, he was soon favored by Feng Yuxiang, and was retained by Feng Jiajun as a staff officer of the Feng family. Later, he followed Feng Yuxiang to fight for many years, and he finally became a member of the team, known as one of the "Feng Yuxiang's Thirteen Taibao".
However, Han Fuyu's temperament never seems to have changed. In the era of warlord warfare, he went back on his word and did whatever it took for power and interests. After the Second Northern Expedition, although other warlords were promoted to provincial chairman, he was only a division commander. This made Han Fuyu hold back a lot of resentment, feeling that he had been treated badly by the Feng family, so he empathized and took the opportunity to take refuge in Chiang Kai-shek.
In 1929, after being personally taken over by Mrs. Soong Meiling, Han Fuyu couldn't help but be pampered and ashamed, and happily agreed to Chiang Kai-shek's heroic post. Since then, he has become a senior member of the Jiang family's army, and has been entrusted with important responsibilities, and has been the chairman of Shandong Province for 8 years.
As a giant of Jiang Jiajun, Han Fuyu can be said to be the king and dominate one side alone. He has always disobeyed Chiang Kai-shek's orders, and if he doesn't like it, he will pick and choose. Until the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek ordered him to stick to the Shandong defense line to block the Japanese army, and he simply bent down and fled. This annoyed Chiang Kai-shek so much that he was equivalent to giving up his hand and sending the master Tanma to the Japanese army.
What's more, in order to preserve his own strength, Han Fuyu actually transported the ammunition and materials of his army to the southwest, which was undoubtedly an obstacle to Chiang Kai-shek's westward move. Chiang Kai-shek could not stand such presumptuousness, and finally set the tone to get rid of this old bane.
Alas, I think he was a capable officer under Chiang Kai-shek back then. Who would have thought that in the end, fate would be so reversed and become a cannibalistic enemy. This is a helpless portrayal of the warlord melee era. Dai Li arranged an elaborate deception to lure Han Fuyu to Kaifeng for a meeting, and finally imprisoned him in Wuhan. The night of January 24, 1938 became the time of Han Fuyu's death.
Just as he was about to "change his shoes", a volley of bullets came in, and he was shot seven times, killing him on the staircase. This once powerful warlord finally died, and his life was so miserable.
Han Fuyu's tragic experience vividly illustrates the cruelty and ruthlessness of the warlord melee era from another aspect. In these turbulent times, whoever you are, you may end up falling victim to a power game. It seems to be rolling red dust, but it is full of sympathy, who cares if you have ever fought side by side? Now that it has become a big problem, it has to be eliminated as soon as possible.
This is exactly the case in the era of "seeing the road when the road is uneven and opening the road with one shot", and no one can escape the fate of being played with as a "chess piece". Han Fuyu probably never imagined that he would end up being murdered. No matter what kind of influential person he once was, in this cruel long river of history, he can only be slaughtered by others.
It is hoped that by restoring this little-known historical event, future generations can experience the difficult situation of that era and the cruel law of "the law of the jungle". Without the pain of never returning to completely transform the old society, we can only survive in such hardships and wait for a more civilized and orderly new world to come.
