Feng Yuxiang, Zhang Huan. Originally from Chao County, Anhui Province, 1882 was born in a poor peasant family near Baoding, Hebei Province. Because of his poor family, at the age of eleven, he signed up for the Qing army. Soon after, he dropped out of school and joined the military camp.
19 1 1 year, Wuchang uprising broke out, and Feng Yuxiang was appointed as the battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 40th meeting in the 20th town of Luanzhou. Send troops to respond and serve as the chief of staff of the insurgents. Later, due to defeat, he was deported to China.
After the Revolution of 1911, Yuan Shikai, a traitor, usurped the leadership of the revolution and then plotted to restore the monarchy. Feng Yuxiang actively participated in the anti-Yuan revolutionary movement. 19 15 years, Cai E organized the national defense army according to Yunnan and sent troops to beg Yuan. Although Feng Yuxiang served in Yuan's new army, he not only refused to fight with the National Defence Force, but also secretly contacted Cai E. Later, he participated in the organization of Sichuan independence and joined forces with the National Defence Force, thus defeating Yuan Shikai's plot to proclaim himself emperor.
After Yuan Shikai's death, Li Yuanhong succeeded as president. Feng Yuxiang was removed from the post of brigade commander and reduced to the battalion commander of the sixth patrol battalion of Baoding Prefecture to cut his military power. 19 17 In June and July, Zhang Xun led the troops into the Forbidden City and staged a restoration farce. Feng Yuxiang heard the news, that is, he led his staff and, together with other troops, rose to crusade, broke Beijing and drove away Zhang Xun. Subsequently, Feng continued to serve as the brigade commander. In the second year, in Wuxue, Feng Yuxiang electrified the whole country and opposed the civil war. When Duan heard the news, he ordered Feng to be dismissed. Feng disobeyed and fought Duan.
1922, Feng Yuxiang was promoted as the army inspection ambassador. At that time, Cao Kun bribed the President, which brought disaster to the country and people. Feng immediately consulted with the Ministry, rose up against Cao Kun and Wu, and became the commander-in-chief of the national army. Soon after, Feng Yuxiang pushed aside the crowd and sent troops to expel the Qing emperor Puyi from the palace, which was gratifying. Then, Feng put forward the idea of welcoming Dr. Sun Yat-sen to the north. Before that, Dr. Sun Yat-sen had written several books to Feng, and presented books such as The Three People's Principles and The Outline of the Founding of the People's Republic of China, which made Feng Yuxiang deeply educated and gradually became a faithful follower of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Unfortunately, when Mr. Sun Yat-sen went north, Feng Yuxiang was appointed as the political supervisor of the Northwest Frontier, but he could not meet Mr. Sun.
When Feng was stationed in the northwest, he felt that the domestic wars were frequent and poisoned the people, so he electrified the whole country again and urged the soldiers to stop fighting. At the same time, Feng went to the Soviet Union via Mongolia, and joined the Kuomintang of China on his way to the Soviet Union. After the victory of the October Revolution in the Soviet Union, Feng Yuxiang got a profound lesson and got a further understanding of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's three major policies of uniting Russia, uniting the Communist Party and helping the peasants and workers. During this period, the Northern Expedition broke out in China, and Feng Yuxiang rushed home. He assembled his old headquarters in Wuyuan and spread all over the country. In response to the Northern Expedition, he was promoted to commander-in-chief of the national and allied forces. This is the famous "Wuyuan oath" in history.
Since then, Feng Yuxiang has exchanged posts with Chiang Kai-shek, but Chiang Kai-shek has always refused. 1930, Feng Zeng and Yan Xishan rose up against Chiang Kai-shek, but failed. After the September 18th Incident, the whole country launched a vigorous anti-Japanese national salvation movement. Feng Yuxiang organized an anti-Japanese coalition in Zhangjiakou, and used the famous anti-Japanese Ji Hongchang to deal a powerful blow to the Japanese invaders. However, due to the destruction of the Chiang Kai-shek government's non-resistance policy, the anti-Japanese Coalition forces fought alone and eventually failed. Because Feng was the leading faction in the Kuomintang and did not agree with Chiang Kai-shek's political views, he moved to Taishan to study and practice calligraphy to vent his anger.
1937, after the Lugouqiao Incident, Feng Yuxiang went from Taishan to Nanjing to advocate anti-Japanese, and became the commander of the third theater, and later changed to the commander of the sixth theater. During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Feng traveled around the world, patrolling the army, calling for the war of resistance against Japan, and hosting the fund-raising for the war of resistance against Japan, which made positive contributions to defeating the Japanese invaders.
After the defeat and surrender of Japanese imperialism, Chiang Kai-shek's sinister intentions were exposed. He engaged in dictatorship and civil war. The contradiction between Feng and Jiang is getting deeper and deeper, which is difficult to bridge, so he went to the United States in the name of inspecting water conservancy. In order to cut off the civil war of American aid to Chiang Kai-shek, Feng Yuxiang gave a speech in the United States, exposing the darkness of Chiang Kai-shek's rule and denouncing the bad behavior of American aid to Chiang Kai-shek. In Minnesota, he gave 27 speeches in two weeks. Its anti-Jiang patriotic heart can be imagined!
At that time, some people in the U.S. government wanted to buy Feng Yuxiang off to fight against Chiang Kai-shek and the Communist Party and participate in his plot to split China. Feng Yuxiang righteously denounced this shameless act and firmly expressed his willingness to support the "democratic Coalition government."
Feng Yuxiang's activities in the United States caused Chiang Kai-shek's extreme panic. Jiang announced that Feng would be expelled from the Kuomintang and cut off his financial resources. However, General Feng was indomitable and resolutely decided to go back to the motherland via the Soviet Union, attend the new political consultative conference, and continue to fight for democracy and peace in the motherland. Unfortunately, the ship "Poveda" on which General Feng was riding caught fire on the way to the Black Sea, and General Feng Yuxiang and the microscope were killed at the age of 66.
As Premier Zhou Enlai said, General Feng Yuxiang was a staunch democratic fighter who was transformed from an old soldier. Like all historical figures, due to the limitation of political vision, he inevitably has some defects, but the defects have not been covered up, and General Feng Yuxiang's contribution to China's democratic cause will be immortal. 1953, the party and the government held an ashes burial ceremony for General Feng in Taishan. Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou and Commander-in-Chief Zhu wrote inscriptions to express their condolences and respect to General Feng.
