Hello everyone, I'm the indomitable clear spring 6lf. Today, let's take a look at the tragic ending of the four major warlords who fled to Taiwan with Chiang Kai-shek after the founding of New China. These include "Little Zhuge " Bai Chongxi, the northwest warlord Ma Bufang, the Shanxi warlord Yan Xishan, and the Cantonese warlord Chen Jitang.
First of all, we focus on "Little Zhuge " Bai Chongxi. Born in Guangxi, he was full of talent, and after the Xinhai Revolution, he rose to prominence and became a warlord in Guangxi. However, after the end of the Kuomintang-Communist civil war, he was forced into exile in Taiwan. There, he did not have a good time, eventually dying in his bedroom with a mystery of his death, and some rumors even mention that he may have been poisoned.
Next was the Northwest Warlord Ma Bufang, who was born in Gansu and joined the military as a young man, and later became the commander of the Northwest Army. After the Battle of Lanzhou in 1949, he fled to Taiwan, where he failed to settle down, eventually going into exile in Saudi Arabia and eventually settling in Egypt, never returning to China for the rest of his life.
Then look at the Shanxi warlord Yan Xishan, who was born into a family of Shanxi landlords and served in the imperial court at the end of the Qing Dynasty. After the Xinhai Revolution, he assisted Yuan Shikai, and later defected to Chiang Kai-shek. After the liberation of Taiyuan in 1949, he was forced into exile in Taiwan, where he eventually died.
Finally, the Cantonese warlord Chen Jitang, who was born in Guangdong and presided over the political situation in Guangdong for a long time, confronting Chiang Kai-shek. He was forced to Europe, fled to Taiwan after the Anti-Japanese War, and died of sudden cerebral thrombosis soon after.
These four warlords, although they once occupied a place in the current situation, had a bad fate and did not escape a tragic end in the end. The stories of these legendary figures may become a touch of history and leave a thought-provoking imprint.
In general, after the Communists triumphantly seized power in 1949, the four major warlords, Bai Chongxi, Ma Bufang, Yan Xishan, and Chen Jitang, quickly fled to Taiwan. However, they have always cherished the dream of returning to the mainland, but one by one they have failed to achieve their wish. What kind of historical puzzle is this?Let's uncover the legend of this part of Chinese history.
