We may not be very familiar with this name.
But the name of Shi Yousan (石友三) is forever in Chinese military history as a general who constantly changed sides.
Mr. Shi Yousan was born into a poor family in Changchun in 1891.
It was during the Qing Dynasty, which, if compared to Thailand, would be the reign of King Rama V.
But in any case, fate did not abandon him.
Because he had become close to a wealthy local family.
This allowed him to attend local schools.
Until in 1908, he dropped out of school and joined the army in the 3rd Division of the Xinjiàn lùjūn Army (Xīnjiàn lùjūn).
It is considered the modern army of the Qing Dynasty under the command of Wu Peifu (Wu Peifu/吳佩孚).
Later, in 1912, the first year of the founding of the Republic of China, he switched sides and came under General Feng's wing.
Feng Yuxiang
The Guo Minjun faction and their coup d'état
Go to the military government.
General Cao Cao of the Chili Party in Beijing in October 1924.
This was because General Cao Cao neglected to govern the country and focused on fighting, defeating other rival warlords.
The success of the coup d'état made this man, Shi Youshan, one of General Feng's thirteen most important military leaders.
But the war between the Guo Minjun and Zhili factions lasted from November 1925 to April 1926.
The Guo Minjun faction became the weak and defeated faction.
Causing Shi Youshan's troops, who were stationed near Beijing, to be attacked by General Yan Xishan's forces.
A warlord from the nearby Shanxi province.
While the main force of the Guo Minjun faction had withdrawn from Beijing,
Causing Lord Shi Youshan and his unit to surrender to General Yan Xishan's forces.
In July of the same year, Chiang Kai-shek from the Kuomintang faction initiated a plan to unify the country from the Beiyang government.
Of course, the forces of General Feng Yuxiang of Guo Minjun
and General Yan Xishan of Shanxi
Unable to resist Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang forces
This caused both generals to choose to join Chiang Kai-shek, while the Zhili faction was completely destroyed.
Of course, when General Feng and General Yan joined Jiang, that also made Shi Youshan
Able to return to General Feng's command once again.
After returning to General Feng's wing, Shi was promoted to commander of the 5th Division of the Guominjun Army.
Based in Shaanxi Province
Soon after Chiang Kai-shek's unification plan was successful, General Feng, General Yan, and other generals
It broke away from Chiang Kai-shek.
and established the Chiang Kai-shek Alliance
At that time, Shi Youshan was under General Feng until the end of May 1930.
Shi's secretary delivered a message to Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang faction:
He was willing to switch sides to the Guomintang side, along with other officers and soldiers under his command.
Which is certainly true.
Shi's switch to Jiang's side
Causing General Feng to lose a large number of his fighting strength.
It made General Feng almost surrender.
Later in 1937, Japan invaded China.
Shi Youshan was assigned to the Guomintang side.
He pledged to help resist the Japanese invasion, but on the contrary he planned a plot to overthrow Chiang Kai-shek.
Together with other former generals
Later, in 1938, he became the commander of the 69th Division.
At that time, he was colluding with the Chinese Communists in Hebei.
By transmitting important military information
He handed over the Kuomintang to the Communists, and then backstabbed the Communists he colluded with in an attempt to incite them to rebel.
But that didn't work.
And that caused the communist forces to track him down and destroy him, along with his 69th Division unit.
But in the end, he was able to escape.
The pursuit of Chinese communist forces has come.
It was not until 1940 that his alternation ended.
Because in that year, while he was the commander of the 39th Army Corps,
He planned to switch sides to the Japanese side.
But this time, the switch was unsuccessful because the soldier under his command, whose name was
Gāoshù xūn (Gāoshù xūn) reported Shi's plan to Chiang Kai-shek.
After Shi tried to persuade him to join his plan,
Of course, Chiang Kai-shek was very dissatisfied.
Therefore, a secret order was issued to eliminate Chi Youshan.
Mr. Gao, who despises Shi Youshan's treacherous thinking,
Instead of ordering them to be shot, he came up with a more terrifying plan to eliminate them.
On the day Gao began his plan to eliminate this traitor,
He ordered his men to capture Shi and take him to the hole that had been dug earlier.
Then throw him in and bury him alive.
The embedding took more than 30 minutes.
Summary of Shi Youshan's Betrayal
He switched sides from Hu Pei Fu of the Qing Dynasty to General Feng Yuxiang of the Guo Minjun faction.
Then go to stay with General Yan Xishan.
Then switch back to General Feng again.
Then he switched to Chiang Kai-shek's side, the Guo Mintang side, and then switched to the Japanese side, but was captured and buried alive.
This is the story of the traitorous general Guo Mintang.
