In 1949, two guard battalions under Fu Zuoyi raided Beiping and pointed directly at Xiangshan.
In April 1949, it was only three months after the People's Liberation Army took over Beiping. Although the overall law and order is still stable, there are still undercurrents, and many enemy agents are still lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to undermine social stability.
One day, the commander of the North China Military Region received an urgent message and was just about to greet him, but he received a hurried voice from the other side: "Quickly transfer a unit to Xiangshan to carry out an urgent mission!"
Even the always steady *** was a little anxious, ** was surprised, and asked what happened, and the subsequent answer made him break out in a cold sweat - two battalions mutinied, intending to storm Xiangshan.
Xiangshan is located at the eastern foot of Xishan in the northwest suburbs of Beiping, which is where the chairman lives and works, so this mutiny is not trivial. So where did the rebels of these two battalions come from?
Why did they storm Xiangshan?All this originated from the liberation of Beiping.
Before the Liaoshen Campaign ended, our Party was ready to launch the Pingjin Campaign, but the Kuomintang top brass believed that the Northeast Liberation Army would take several months to recover.
Therefore, when Fu Zuoyi, the commander-in-chief of the North China "Suppression Chief," was careless, our party's Northeast Field Army secretly entered the customs, cooperated with the North China Field Army, successfully conquered Zhangjiakou and Xin'an, cut off Fu Zuoyi's road to the west, and launched the Tianjin Campaign, blocking the possibility of him fleeing south by water.
As a result, Beiping has become an isolated city, which has been controlled by our party. In order to protect this thousand-year-old capital, our army did not rush to attack, but worked hard to win Fu Zuoyi's uprising.
After careful consideration, Fu Zuoyi finally announced that he would accept the adaptation on January 21, 1949, and publicly announced the announcement of the "Agreement on the Peaceful Liberation of Beiping" the next day, so that more than 200,000 ** in Beiping City left the city one after another and went to the designated place.
After Fu Zuoyi's Beiping Uprising, he praised him as "the great hero of the liberation of Beiping" and said that he would award him a medal as big as the Temple of Heaven in recognition of his achievements.
Although Fu Zuoyi was excited, he was also afraid of Chiang Kai-shek's retaliation. After all, democrats such as Wen Yiduo and Li Gongpu were assassinated after just making a statement.
Therefore, Fu Zuoyi asked our party to keep a heavily armed guard regiment to protect its own security. ** Considering Fu Zuoyi's contribution to the cause of liberation, and believing that the guard force of a regiment was not enough to cause too much trouble, he finally agreed to his request.
However, no one thought that it was this guard regiment that almost led to a big mess.
Fu Zuoyi was the commander-in-chief of the "Suppression Chief" in North China, but he was not a diehard loyalist of Chiang Kai-shek. Although he made a name for himself with his Suiyuan lineage, Chiang Kai-shek was suspicious of him and tried to spy on him by bribing the people around him.
Two battalion commanders in Fu Zuoyi's guard regiment were heavily paid ** and became Chiang Kai-shek's eyeliner. These battalion commanders were accustomed to a life of luxury, and after the uprising they found that the life of the PLA was simple and everyone was equal, which created a psychological gap between them.
They took advantage of this and secretly plotted a mutiny in order to solicit credit from Chiang Kai-shek.
The two guard battalion commanders succeeded in co-opting their subordinates and began to gather intelligence. They wanted to make a big move, but because the information of the CCP leaders was extremely confidential, they couldn't find a target for a while.
However, a joke of the common people unexpectedly reveals the truth. **After moving from Xibaipo to Beiping, he was reluctant to work in the deep palace because he thought it would make him completely detached from the masses.
On the contrary, he likes Xiangshan in the western suburbs of Beiping, because the environment there is somewhat similar to Jinggangshan and Yan'an in those days. Therefore, he chose the Shuangqing Villa on the southern slope of Xiangshan as the office location.
Out of secrecy, this temporary residence was declared to be the "Reception Office of the Labor University", or "Labor University" for short. Suddenly, a heavily guarded university appeared, and the residents of the neighborhood were curious.
They joked that "Laoda" is a homonym for "boss", and that there may be leaders of the People's Liberation Army living in Xiangshan. Unintentional words, but they attracted the attention of the spies. After they heard about it, they investigated it according to this clue, and they really found the truth.
So, after discussion, the two guard battalion commanders decided to raid Xiangshan, and after success, they took advantage of Xiangshan's complex environment to disperse and abscond.
Third, the king of **, Li Kenong had already started rigorous preparations before moving into Beiping. As the "king of **", he is responsible for the defense of Xiangshan.
In order to achieve a peaceful transition, he first put up notices in prominent places in the city, encouraging the city's spies to turn themselves in and promising to make amends. In just two months, more than 2,000 spies took the initiative to confess, and most of them brought reports and confessed to their superiors and subordinates.
Li Kenong followed these clues to arrest many diehards, and the law and order in Beiping City was markedly improved. For Xiangshan, Li Kenong personally led a team to conduct a search to ensure the safety of the chairman's office.
He was thoughtful, and of course he wouldn't fully trust Fu Zuoyi's guard corps.
Li Kenong cleverly set up an inside line in Fu Zuo's volunteer guard regiment, and he sent instructors to give public lectures, and the real identity of this inside line was a cook.
Due to the nature of the cook's job, he can easily go in and out to buy daily necessities and use this opportunity to pass on information. This ingenious means enabled our party to get the news at the first time and to respond accordingly.
Fourth, the People's Liberation Army responded quickly to quell the incident, and the PLA instructor was under house arrest in Fu Zuoyi's guard regiment, and Li Kenong's insider took advantage of the opportunity to buy vegetables early to pass on this information.
Li Kenong realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately notified *** to dial *** immediately, with the scene at the beginning of this article. ** Mobilized troops to Xiangshan to protect the chairman, and then found Tang Yongjian, director of the Military Region's Training Division, and ordered the latter to lead a regiment to quickly surround the Fu Zuoyi Guard Regiment station in Balizhuang, Cuiwei Road, and there was still a guard battalion in the station that did not participate in the operation.
** Emphasize avoiding bloodshed as much as possible so that things don't expand. Tang Yongjian is a top student who graduated from Tsinghua University, both civil and military, stable and steady, and has great trust in him.
After Tang Yongjian led his subordinates to Balizhuang, he quickly occupied the commanding heights and built a powerful firepower defense line. However, instead of attacking, he made the soldiers shout.
He told the guard regiment that they had been surrounded, and General Fu Zuoyi had decided to give up resistance in favor of *** He also stressed that all those involved in the mutiny had decided to be lenient to them because they had been instigated.
As long as they let go of **, past mistakes will be forgiven. This battalion did not participate in the mutiny, so they surrendered one after another under the persuasion of the PLA.
The other two battalions involved in the mutiny were also quickly surrounded by the PLA, and only a handful of them took advantage of the chaos to escape. By the time everyone was under control, it was already the early hours of the next morning.
Tang Yongjian returned to the North China Military Region Headquarters and found that the lights were still on in the room, so he knocked on the window and asked, "Commander, are you sleeping?"”
** Eagerly inquired about Tang Yongjian's situation, he was relieved to learn that the guard officer had been controlled. But he was confused about what to do with these rebellious officers, so he immediately asked *** for instructions.
Support the arrest of these officers, arguing that this will allow us to take the initiative. Subsequently, ** reported the situation to the chairman, believing that it was right to settle the guard regiment by force, because if force was not used, there could be greater losses.
Now, it is necessary to observe Fu Zuoyi's reaction.
Fifth, the trivial matter, our party fully respects Fu Zuoyi's face Fu Zuoyi did not know about the mutiny of his guards, and when he woke up, he was very surprised and angry to find that his guard regiment had been disarmed.
He immediately called the mayor of Peiping and asked why our party was doing this. ** did not participate in this matter, and could not provide details, but only comforted Fu Zuoyi to give him a satisfactory answer.
Fu Zuoyi was anxious and immediately sent his secretary Wang Kejun to the North China Military Region to seek an explanation. Wang Kejun angrily found *** and asked: "We have agreed to protect Mr. Fu's safety before, but now we have secretly solved Mr. Fu's guard group, is this what you call the way to protect Mr. Fu?"
**Deal with it calmly, he had already expected that Fu Zuoyi would send someone to come, so he asked Wang Kejun to calm down, and then asked Tang Yongjian, who was involved in the whole process, to explain.
Tang Yongjian explained: "The reason why we disarmed the guard regiment was because two of the battalions had mutinied, and they planned to storm the garrison of Xiangshan***. In order to protect Mr. Fu, ** decided to control the guard regiment, and we are not the ones who cross the river and tear down the bridge.
Tang Yongjian added: "If the people of the guard regiment were bribed by Chiang Kai-shek, then how could Mr. Fu's safety be guaranteed?"The meaning of these words is very clear, we want to attack Xiangshan, it is already a huge mistake, and even Xiangshan dares to attack, they may also do something to Fu Zuoyi.
Controlling them is actually the best protection for Fu Zuoyi. After hearing this, Wang Kejun felt very frightened, he understood that the Communist Party was already very tolerant, so he restrained his emotions and went back to report to Fu Zuoyi.
Fu Zuoyi also felt very afraid, because he insisted on keeping this guard regiment, and if the Communist Party really investigated it, he, as a superior, would at least be responsible for negligence.
Moreover, if something happens, he can't get out of it. Therefore, he was very cooperative with the work of the Communist Party. After discussion between the two sides, Fu Zuoyi selected 35 cronies and guards to protect his safety, and the soldiers of the two battalions involved in the mutiny were arranged to study in the North China Supplementary Training Corps, and were reorganized after strengthening ideological construction, and the battalion that did not act was sent to the Shijiazhuang Infantry School to study, and most of their positions were promoted after that.
Xiangshan mutation, our party responded quickly, dealt with it in a timely manner, effectively controlled the impact, and also paid attention to Fu Zuoyi's feelings. Since then, Fu Zuoyi has understood the sincerity of our party, so during his tenure as Minister of Water Resources, he has been diligent and conscientious.
His uprising has preserved a famous historical and cultural city for our country, and the benevolence of our party has also made this good story!
