There is a special warlord in the modern history of China. He was born in a minority, participated in a gang, has a high martial arts, and defeated provocative French boxers with bare hands. Since then, he has become the president of a province.
said he was a warlord, but he did not cherish feathers and spent a lot of military and financial resources to support the War of Resistance and become a true hero of the War of Resistance. He is Long Yun.
Long Yun is a ethnic minority in Zhaotong, Yunnan. When his mother gave birth to him, she once dreamed of a giant python entrenched on the beam of the house, which is a bit of the smell of Zeng Guofan's birth.
Although there is a heavenly vision, life is not easy. Long Yun's father died when he was four years old. After studying in a private school for a few years, he had to abandon his literature and join the martial arts, and joined the elders' club and became a member of the club.
After the Revolution of 1911, Long Yun and his fellow villagers Zou Ruoheng and Lu Han joined the Yunnan army. Because of their outstanding performance, the three of them were sent to the Yunnan Lecture Hall for training in 1912. On the eve of graduation, because of an accidental incident, Long Yun embarked on a career path.
Classmates who like watching movies know that in modern times, there are always some foreign boxers who have come to China to make trouble. They think that the world is invincible and clamor for one person to single out the sick man in East Asia. Long Yun met such a French boxer in Yunnan. And the real history is the same as all the martial arts movies.
The Frenchman asked Tang Jiyao, the governor of Yunnan, to set up a ring in the Wushu Hall for three days. On the first day, anyone who competed, whether it was an instructor who had practiced martial arts in the martial arts hall, or a hero in the arena, was easily knocked down by the French.
On the next day, no one dared to take the stage to compete. On the third day, the French thought they had the chance to win. Who knew that a little man with a dark face and a pair of straw sandals came here, who was only a little over 1.6 meters long. It was Long Yun.
The two fought for a few rounds. Long Yun hit the Frenchman's arm with a boxing box. The French boxer felt a sharp pain, as if he had been beaten by a club. The French thought that Long Yun had hidden weapons, and immediately demanded a search.
To show his innocence, Long Yun simply took off his clothes and went into battle shirtless. In the second battle, Long Yun flew up and hit the boxer. The Frenchman fell to the ground for several minutes before he got up with difficulty and walked away dejected.
This glorious history of fighting foreigners, Long Yun is very proud of himself. Until 1954, he "showed everyone the gestures while talking. Although he was not very tall, he was stronger than ordinary people, and he was still jumping like an ape at the age of seventy." After the fight was over, Tang Jiyao, the governor of Yunnan, knew this. A striking young man, when Long Yun graduated from Jiangwutang in 1914, Tang Jiyao promoted him to the Zhaotong Independent Group as a platoon leader. Since then, Long Yun has become Tang Jiyao's cronies and took a key step in his career.
Later, Long Yun launched the 26th coup and overthrew Tang Jiyao's rule. He also won the struggle against Hu Ruoyu, and officially became the chairman of Yunnan Province and became a new generation of Yunnan king.
After Long Yun came to power in Yunnan, he set up enterprises, promoted taxation and financial reforms, and also paid attention to the development of education, building a veritable "New Yunnan". Long Yun's reform measures increased Yunnan's fiscal revenue and laid the economic foundation for its separatist regime in Yunnan.
Although Long Yun is an old warlord and is hiding in his own territory to build his own small kingdom, he did not stay out of the fight against him. After the start of the War of Resistance, Long Yun pulled out six brigades and twelve regiments to form the Sixtieth Army and went out of Yunnan to fight against Japan.
In April 1938, the Sixtieth Army was ordered to take part in the Battle of Xuzhou. The bloody battle at Taierzhuang caused heavy casualties. After the war, the three divisions could only be reorganized into one division. Soon, Long Yun organized three more armies and mobilized more than 200,000 people to participate in the War of Resistance.
Another major contribution that Long Yun made to the War of Resistance against Japan was the construction of the Burma Highway. In the absence of funds, technology, and equipment, Long Yun issued road construction orders, and successively mobilized hundreds of thousands of civilians, all relying on shoulders to carry them, and it took only eight months to build more than 900 kilometers of roads. , So that China will not be isolated by the Japanese army.
The British "Times" was amazed at this miracle, commenting that "only the Chinese can do it in such a time."
Spring and Autumn Unjust War. The warlords' melee in the Republic of China was also not a volunteer war. butLong Yun can be regarded as a well-deserved anti-Japanese hero because of two things, and because of this, Long Yun became the only warlord who was buried in Babaoshan after his death.
