At the beginning of 1950, Chen Geng led his troops to Kunming and served as the chairman of Yunnan Province. At the beginning of the liberation of Yunnan, there were still many remnants of the Kuomintang, spies, and bandits and bullies, tens of thousands. Chen Geng soon began to lead the suppression of bandits, in order to completely eliminate the spy bandits.
In the process of Chen Geng's suppression of bandits, his subordinates were ordered to kill the bandit leader who organized the rebellion, but this bandit leader has a special identity, and the impact of this matter is far-reaching, which should not be underestimated
FigChen Geng. Chen Geng ordered the killing of the son of Long Yun, vice chairman of the Southwest Military and Political Commission.
Long Yun, the famous "King of Yunnan", ruled Yunnan for 18 years from 1927 to 1945. From boxing French boxers, helping the Red Army to actively participating in the War of Resistance Against Japan, Long Yun's life experience is legendary.
In 1884, he was born in En'an, Yunnan Province (now Zhaotong City), Long Yun was born with a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers stubborn character, young Long Yun usually in addition to working in the field and herding cattle, sheep, the favorite is martial arts.
When he was 6 years old, Long Yun's father died, and Long Yun followed his mother back to his parents' house and lived in his uncle Long Deyuan's house. After that, he and his cousin Lu Han were sent to Zhaotong City to study, and followed the Sichuan martial arts master Ma Desheng Xi and others in Zhaotong to practice martial arts, which made Long Yun practice his skills when he was young.
FigLong Yun. In 1914, 30-year-old Long Yun graduated from the Yunnan Army Martial Arts Hall, and happened to hear that a boxer from France was provoking in Kunming, Yunnan, and directly found Tang Jiyao, the governor of Yunnan, and asked to set up a ring in the Yunnan Army Martial Arts Hall to find someone to fight.
This foreign boxer made a big statement: if no one defeats him within three days, he will open a museum in Kunming to teach martial arts;If someone defeats him, he will never set foot in Kunming again.
He set up the ring, formed a circle around the ring, and wrote slogans such as "fighting" invincible opponents all over the world" and "ten fights and ten rolls" on the big red cloth, waiting for others to come and challenge. When many people heard the news, they rushed to the ring to see the excitement.
Tang Jiyao, who was the governor of Yunnan at the time, posted a reward notice, looking for *** to deal with the French boxer, and said that there was a heavy reward for winning the battle. As a result, for several days, the officers and soldiers, martial artists, and even martial arts enthusiasts who went to the ring to fight with the French boxer were all defeated, so that on the last day, no one waited for the stage, and the momentum of the French boxer was even more arrogant.
Just when he thought he had won a big victory, Long Yun jumped into the ring with a flying body, Long Yun was dark, lean, the French boxer had a big waist and a round waist, the figures of the two were very different, the French boxer said to Long Yun with a contemptuous tone: "Look at your appearance, you dare to come to me to compete, you just want to die." After speaking, he stretched out his fist and hit Long Yun.

The French boxer is strong, but Long Yun moves flexibly, he can always dodge the boxer's attack, and seize the opportunity to punch the opponent, the other party feels the pain and numbness in his body, and shouts to stop, he has to blame Long Yun for hiding a hidden weapon.
It wasn't until Long Yun took off his clothes and proved his innocence that the game continued. Long Yun was fighting with the opponent while looking for a flaw, several consecutive kicks made him unable to stand directly, Long Yun seized the opportunity and hit the opponent's head hard, the French boxer was immediately knocked to the ground and couldn't move.
Obviously, Long Yun won, and there was thunderous applause in the ring, and more than a dozen Yunnan men rushed directly to the stage, threw Long Yun up, and cheered to celebrate the victory of the Yunnan people.
FigTang Jiyao.
Long Yun became famous in the first battle, and was soon promoted to the captain of the guard army and became the commander of Tang Jiyao's "Royal Forest Army". Since then, he has successively served as the captain of the Second Brigade of Tang Jiyao's Guards Army and the captain of the Feijun Army. In 1922, Long Yun began to grasp the real power of the Yunnan army and became a pivotal figure in the army.
When Tang Jiyao, the governor of Yunnan, was in charge of Yunnan at first, he set up education, prepared for municipal administration, and did some things that were beneficial to the people, but in the later period, Tang Jiyao began to indulge in a comfortable life, neglected military and political affairs, lax military affairs, misemployed people, and failed to handle affairs, and many subordinates were dissatisfied with him.
In February 1927, due to dissatisfaction with Tang Jiyao's rule, Long Yun, Hu Ruoyu, Zhang Ruji, Li Xuanting and others used the Northern Expedition to defeat the warlords, and jointly raised troops to force Tang Jiyao**, overthrowing Tang Jiyao's 14-year rule in Yunnan. After that, Long Yun held the military and political power in Yunnan, and in 1928, he was appointed as the chairman of Yunnan Province by the Nanjing people, ruling Yunnan.
The kid who won the ring many years ago grew into a veritable "King of Yunnan" in a blink of an eye. And many years later, ** made it clear that Long Yun had three major achievements: anti-Japanese, anti-Chiang, and the United Communist Party.
FigLong Yun and **.
Although Long Yun ruled Yunnan with the support of Chiang Kai-shek and cooperated closely with Chiang Kai-shek, the two held different opinions on many things, and in fact they were full of contradictions.
In the thirties of the twentieth century, Chiang Kai-shek sent a large number of troops to pursue the Red Army under the leadership of the Communists, and Long Yun did not fully follow Chiang Kai-shek's instructions. When the Red Army's Long March passed through Yunnan, Long Yun expressed his gratitude to Chiang Kai-shek for the funds and preferential treatment given by Chiang Kai-shek, and pretended to be ordered to send troops to pursue the Red ArmyOn the other hand, they secretly liaised with the Red Army, leaving gaps and helping the Red Army troops to pass smoothly.
Not only that, but he also managed to reveal to the Red Army the transportation routes of a batch of Yunnan military maps, Yunnan Baiyao and other military materials sent to Xue Yue, and these medicines and maps were what the Red Army needed most.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1937, Long Yun very much recognized the anti-Japanese national united front policy proposed by the Communist Party, and through his previous contact with the Red Army, he admired the Communists a little more.
Even under Chiang Kai-shek's command at that time, Long Yun still did not shy away from saying: "The Red Army crossed Yunnan and Qiu twice without committing any crimes. Strangled belly rampage into more than a dozen provinces, don't say that in China, in the world, how can there be such a strong army!”
At the critical moment when the nation was in danger, Long Yun personally called Chiang Kai-shek, saying: "At this point, we cannot save the perilous unless we gather the strength of our whole people and make a long-term anti-war plan." A few days later, Chiang Kai-shek summoned a number of people to Nanjing for a meeting, and the Communist Party leaders were also invited to attend.
Jiang Dingwen, then chairman of Shaanxi Province, asked Long Yun at the airport: "How many responsible persons of the CPC are going to Nanjing to attend a meeting, and they are waiting for their planes hereLong Yun didn't say a word, he agreed to come down, and he took the same plane with ***, and talked happily all the way, he talked about his past experience, and at the same time, several people had the same opinion on the anti-Japanese national united front.
FigThe Dian army went north to resist the Japanese.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Long Yun led the Yunnan army to resist the war and led the people of Yunnan to build roads. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression for many years, he sent hundreds of thousands of Yunnan troops to the front line, and tens of thousands of heroic souls shed blood to defend the country, and even many Yunnan people stood up and joined the War of Resistance.
Long Yun proposed to Chiang Kai-shek to build the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and hundreds of thousands of people threw themselves into it. The workers did not have the machinery and equipment to build the road, so they relied on their hands to dig the mountains and open the road, and even the women joined in the road construction work, and the built Yunnan-Burma road played a huge role in transporting manpower and materials.
According to statistics, during the construction of the Yunnan-Burma Highway, about 100,000 workers in Yunnan worked every day to repair the road, and up to 200,000 workers worked in shifts every day to repair the road, and it took just eight months to rush through 927 kilometers of the Yunnan-Burma Highway. Long Yun, as well as the vast number of Yunnan soldiers and civilians under his leadership, made important contributions to the anti-Japanese resistance.
FigLong Yun and Chiang Kai-shek.
In so many years, Long Yun's attitude towards Chiang Kai-shek has also changed, from full support to dissatisfaction, Chiang Kai-shek ** arbitrary, especially during the Anti-Japanese War The occurrence of the Southern Anhui Incident, Long Yun was very dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's bad behavior: "I set a trap to eliminate my own army (that is, the New Fourth Army), which one is this?"
The rift between him and Chiang Kai-shek grew bigger and bigger, and when the defeat of the Japanese army was assured in 1945, Chiang Kai-shek began to plan how to solve Long Yun.
In October 1945, Du Yuming, on the orders of Chiang Kai-shek, sent troops to surround the provincial capital of Wuhuashan in Kunming, in an attempt to capture Long Yun by force. He scolded Chiang Kai-shek: "* I expected that as soon as the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was won, this turtle would use despicable and shameless and thief-like hooligan methods against me!”
Long Yun went to Chongqing, met Chiang Kai-shek in person, and bluntly expressed his anger: "I have served under your leadership for a long time, and I have nothing to be sorry for you, the country, and the locality. Chiang Kai-shek knew that he was wrong, so he had to prevaricate: "My instructions are not like this, this is Du Yuming's mistake, and he should be punished." This rhetoric has long been Chiang Kai-shek's usual trick.
Long Yun came to Chiang Kai-shek, in fact, he was placed under house arrest in Chongqing, and in 1946 he was transferred to Nanjing house arrest, where he lived was full of spies, and his every move had to be monitored at any time.
FigLong Yun and Chiang Kai-shek.
In 1948, he managed to find Chennault, an American general who organized the "Flying Tigers" to aid our country during the anti-Japanese war, and Long Yun had a good relationship with him. Long Yun avoided the suspicion of the spies, and after some disguise, he got on the plane prepared by Chennault, escaped Nanjing, and went to Hong Kong.
Before leaving Nanjing, Long Yun also left a letter to Chiang Kai-shek, reprimanding him for starting a civil war. In August 1949, he even made a public statement, resolutely saying that he would break with Chiang Kai-shek and return to the people. At the CPPCC meeting held in September, Long Yun was also invited, but did not attend.
In December 1949, Lu Han, who succeeded Long Yun as chairman of Yunnan Province, led his troops to revolt, and Yunnan finally returned to the people, and Long Yun was also happy. At the beginning of 1950, Long Yun went all the way north to Beijing, and ** came to visit him in person. Long Yun was appointed vice chairman of the Southwest Military and Political Commission and accepted a new mission.
Just when Long Yun was rejoicing in peace, something happened that he didn't expect!
FigLong Yun with his family.
After the Luhan Peaceful Uprising, Chen Geng served as the chairman of Yunnan Province. At that time, there were still many remnants of the Kuomintang armed forces, spies, and bandits and bullies in Yunnan, and the number of these people even reached more than tens of thousands. So in May 1950, Chen Geng and Song Renqiang, secretary of the provincial party committee, presided over the first work conference on the suppression of bandits, and established the Yunnan Provincial Committee for the suppression of bandits, with Chen Geng as the chairman to lead the work of suppressing bandits.
Among these bandits, there is a bandit leader named Long Xianzeng, who is the third son of Long Yun.
Long Rope used to act completely different from his father Long Yun, he was deeply loved by his family since he was a child, and he was a typical kind of spoiled child, arrogant and domineering, and full of gangsterism. During the war, Long Cheng once formed a "Yin Wu Column of the Southwest People's Revolutionary Army" of several thousand people in Zhaotong, Yunnan, and had a deep influence in Qiaojia County, Zhaotong.
After the People's Liberation Army entered Zhaotong in 1950, it carried out a series of unity and struggle work for the dragon rope. Chen Geng, Song Renqiang and other leaders invited him to Kunming, held a banquet and entertained him, and welcomed him back to the ranks of the people with a friendly attitude.
Long Rope did lead his subordinates to accept the reorganization of the People's Liberation Army in Kunming, and his "Yin Wu Column" was reorganized into the "Chinese People's Liberation Army Zhaotong Garrison District Garrison Corps", and Long Rope still led this team he was familiar with as the captain. Moreover, with the approval of the Southwest Military Region, Long Cheng was also appointed deputy commander of the Zhaotong Garrison District.
On the surface, the dragon rope had returned to the right path, but behind the scenes, he was at both ends of the rat and watched the situation. In May 1950, Long Cheng only reorganized his armed contingent of more than 1,000 people stationed in Zhaotong, while the rest of the troops scattered elsewhere refused to concentrate and even planned to combine with the habitual bandit forces in an attempt to continue to expand his power.
Long Yun had already seen Chiang Kai-shek's true face, but Long Cheng Zeng was diametrically opposed to the bright path taken by his father, and he also secretly got in touch with Chiang Kai-shek, accepted Chiang Kai-shek's appointment, and secretly served as the so-called "military and political chief of northeastern Yunnan", holding two positions at the same time.
Long Rope once united with the remnants of the Kuomintang spies secretly hidden in Zhaotong, as well as landlord bullies and hooligans and ruffians to form a bandit army, which launched several armed ** and deliberately disrupted the normal life of the people.

At that time, the city and the people who had just experienced the war were still recovering, and the daily necessities of the local troops and people were insufficient, so the People's Liberation Army sent 18 vehicles full of supplies to Zhaotong to solve the living difficulties of the vast number of soldiers and civilians.
As a result, when the People's Liberation Army (PLA) transport vehicles passed through the Heishi area of Weining, Guizhou, Long Xianzeng's subordinates suddenly rushed out and began to attack on a large scale, but because of the suddenness of the incident, they were outnumbered, and the PLA sacrificed all but four soldiers, and all the materials expected by the people were robbed, and the cars with sports materials were not spared.
This is the famous "Weining Black Stone Incident".
Long Rope has caused more than one incident they created, as well as the "Zhenxiong Cattle Farm Incident", "Yongshan Dajingba Incident" and so on, their bad behavior, caused the People's Liberation Army, and the people's major **, greatly endangered this society, many soldiers because of their evil deeds to pay the price of their lives.
FigChen Geng. On June 18, 1950, after careful consideration, Chen Geng sent an urgent telegram to the Southwest Military Region
"The rebellion of Long San (Long Cheng Zeng) was expected long ago, and in order to be benevolent and righteous, we only ordered the 43rd Division to mobilize troops to closely monitor before it officially launched the mutiny, and quickly gathered and annihilated it as soon as it was discovered. ”After more than two hours of fierce fighting, Long Rope was killed, and thousands of his subordinates were capturedOn the front page of "Yunnan **" on the 23rd, it was written:
"The dragon bandit rope was once fought for to no avail, and it has been completely annihilated. In the battle to extinguish the dragon rope once mutiny, a variety of letters exchanged by the dragon bandits were seized, proving that the dragon bandits' deliberate rebellion was not a day. ”His killing was a real applause for the local people.
Fig**Soon, the Yunnan side also reported the matter**, asking who should deal with the aftermath, **After learning about the matter, he immediately instructed: "Let Vice Chairman Long Yun deal with it!."”
This is Long Yun's son, ** means let Long Yun do it himself.
Long Yun returned to Yunnan from Beijing to learn more about the incident of Long Shenzeng, as well as various detailed information, and after understanding it clearly, he bowed his head and remained silent for a long time, until a long time later, he muttered: "My son is very bad......”
Long Yun has always understood the overall situation, and he clearly knows that this is the ending that Long Rope should have, so he has no complaints about it, only sadness. The aftermath of the dragon rope was quickly resolved.
By the end of 1950, Chen Geng had personally deployed and carried out 1,783 battles against bandits, killing and wounding and capturing banditsMore than 920,000 people, and another 3More than 30,000 bandits surrendered to Chengcheng, the bandit problem basically subsided, and the local people were able to quickly return to a stable life.In the same year, at the request of Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minh, he was ordered by the Chinese Communist Party to go to Vietnam to assist in the war.

After that, Long Yun successively served as vice chairman of the Southwest Administrative Committee and vice chairman of the National Defense Committee, and continued to work for China's construction cause. In 1962, Long Yun passed away, and the ** marshal presided over the public memorial ceremony for him, and the eulogy praised his life:"Long Yun's life is for the country and the people, and he is bright and fair!”
