The peaceful liberation of Peking was because of Fu Zuoyi's uprising, which seems very simple to us, but there is an unknown amount of thrilling behind it. You must know that Fu Zuoyi did not want to revolt to revolt, at that time, it was written on the news that Fu Zuoyi took more than 200,000 troops with him when he revolted, but most of them were actually Chiang Kai-shek's descendants.
At that time, in order to reduce the resistance and successfully revolt, Fu Zuoyi let go of some high-ranking generals loyal to Chiang Kai-shek, including Yuan Pu, the commander of the 16th Army.
Yuan Pu, the commander of the 16th Army, was the same as Li Wen, the commander of the Fourth Corps, and Shi Jue, the commander of the Ninth Corps, who were released at that time, all of them were resolutely opposed to the uprising, and Yuan Pu was the only commander with real power. The reason why Yuan Pu is so persistent is also directly related to his experience.
Yuan Pu is a native of Hunan, born in 1904, because of his good family background, he was literate since he was a child, because he was affected by the revolutionary wave, he wanted to serve the country in the army, so he was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy and was a student in the first phase.
Compared with Hu Zongnan, a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and Du Yuming, Huang Wei, the commanders of the Corps, Yuan Pu is indeed not well-known, but he is also a veteran who has followed Chiang Kai-shek since the Eastern Expedition and is very loyal to Chiang Kai-shek.
Yuan Pu encircled and suppressed the Red Army and fought the Japanese devils, but because he did not participate in famous battles, he was promoted very slowly, and he became the commander of the 16th Army in 1947.
In May, the People's Liberation Army won the victory in the Battle of Menglianggu and destroyed the first ace of the 74th Division, at this time the situation of the Kuomintang was not optimistic, and later the Liaoshen Campaign and the Pingjin Campaign Our army won one after another, and the situation in Beiping was even more tense.
When Fu Zuoyi rebelled, most of his descendants lost most of their troops in the previous battle, and more than 200,000 people were stationed in Beiping at that time, and more than half of them did not listen to him, and this half was Chiang Kai-shek's ** army.
When Fu Zuoyi convened senior generals to discuss the uprising, in addition to the commanders of the two corps, Yuan Pu was Yuan Pu, and Yuan Pu's more than 20,000 soldiers were still in Beiping City at that time.
Fu Zuoyi's uprising was very sudden, before the uprising, he cut off the contact between these opposition generals and the soldiers, but it was not possible to let them go, which might destroy the uprising, but he wanted to leave them completely, and he was worried about what the soldiers below had ideas, so he could only send them on the plane in the end.
Although Yuan Pu was unwilling and had no choice, he later remained active in the Kuomintang army, and also served as the deputy commander of the army, and died of illness in Taipei in 1991.
