Back 200 years ago, it was once the territory of China. Today, there are still a large number of people of China origin living in this land.
In this region with a population of 250,000, Yunnan Mandarin is the language and RMB is the currency, but China has never recognized them as a part of this country.
However, Myanmar next door has always coveted this brave region and has planned to annex it many times.
But people in this area don't want to be vassals of Myanmar. Since 1965, people in this land have started a vigorous national independence movement.
Peng Jiasheng, the brave king, made a fortune.
Speaking of a man named Peng Like, it is legendary to look back on his life experience.
Born in troubled times, he once went into battle in armor and switched to business after the war. In the second half of his life, he devoted himself to the national independence movement of the courageous people and was also a famous big D owl.
Because of this, brave people always have different opinions about Peng Jiasheng.
And all his life, he has been swinging between "national hero" and "national scum".
1, the "dare to be king" selling D.
193 1 year, Peng Jiasheng was born in Kokang. Born in Sichuan, China, he was promoted for three generations. His ancestors worked for the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and it is said that he also served as a general of Nanming.
However, after the demise of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui forced Nanming Emperor to go south and die. This wave of forces obsessed with "anti-Qing and regaining sight" felt hopeless, so they fled to live overseas and became bold aborigines.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing government signed the Sino-British Treaty of Continuing Myanmar, which ceded Kokang to British India. Since then, Kokang has been drawn out of the territory of China.
1948, three years after the end of World War II, Myanmar declared independence, and at the same time declared Kokang as an autonomous region of Myanmar's ethnic minorities with independent autonomy.
This is probably the historical process of courageous modern times.
Myanmar has been plotting against Kokang, both at home and abroad in China, but Kokang people have the blood of the Chinese nation for generations, so they naturally don't want to succumb to the forces of Myanmar.
If you want to be independent, you must establish your own regime and power.
Peng Jiasheng has become a very important link in the brave national independence process.
After the war of liberation, some residual forces failed to retreat as scheduled, so they went all the way south into the Kokang area and joined hands with local Kokang people in an attempt to make a comeback.
However, with the passage of time, this wave of forces found that hope was getting more and more dim, so they decided to take root in courage and build their own army.
During this period, a brave leader named Yang started a crash course in military affairs, trying to consolidate his brave military strength.
Peng Jiasheng is a member of this training class.
In the same period, Luo Xinghan, the "Big D Owl" who resounded in Southeast Asia, and Khun Sa, the famous "Golden Triangle", participated in the training.
This has also become a point that the courageous people have been criticized.
But before that, Peng Jiasheng's other name seems to be louder, and that is "the king who dares to do it".
In the 1960s, the Burmese government publicly arrested Luo Xinghan in Kokang area, which caused great dissatisfaction among the Kokang people. Taking this opportunity, Peng Jiasheng formed an armed force of 1000 people to fight against the Burmese government forces.
As a result, Peng Jiasheng and Myanmar launched an armed confrontation for half a century.
2. The Bold King and His Army
The armed conflict triggered by Luo Xinghan's arrest did not last long, and finally Luo Xinghan was "embraced" by the Burmese military.
However, this did not ease the relationship between Myanmar and Kokang, but the conflict became more intense.
After the 1960s, Myanmar officials began to preach "Greater Myanmar Nationalism", discriminating against courageous Chinese, and completely ignited the emotions of courageous people.
1965, under the banner of "the heroic people's revolutionary army", Peng Jiasheng led his troops into the mountains to wage guerrilla warfare against the Burmese government forces.
With the protracted guerrilla war, Peng Jiasheng's voice among the people became louder and louder, and he was named "the king who dares to do it".
But this period was not smooth sailing.
In addition to local hot war, Peng Jiasheng also tried to maintain order in the rear. His side also experienced betrayal, and Heping District also experienced the proliferation of D products, which had a great influence on his prestige.
In particular, the identity of the D owl behind him has deepened people's discussion and doubt about him: the seed itself is evil, will the fruit be good?
But no matter how the vane of public opinion swings, Peng Jiasheng always insists on his own voice, saying that he must be the first person who can boldly achieve peace.
Facts have proved that he didn't break his word.
From 65438 to 0989, the "Myanmar National Union Army" was boldly established. Through continuous negotiations with Myanmar, an agreement was finally reached with Myanmar and a short-lived peace was achieved.
After courageous domestic peace was realized, he boldly reformed and established the first highly autonomous Shan State Special Zone in Myanmar, and Peng Jiasheng became the first chairman of the Special Zone.
During his presidency, Peng Jiasheng explicitly proposed to ban D in China and negotiate with China 15 armed forces, which solved the internal potential threat and won unanimous praise from the people.
At the same time, Peng Jiasheng also followed the example of China's reform and opening up, and carried out the policy of "economic reform and opening up" to reform the local people's livelihood and economy.
In just a few years, with the rapid development of the gambling industry, Kokang's economy, Laojie, its capital, has also become the richest area in northern Myanmar, known as "Little Macau".
It's just not long these days.
In Myanmar's eyes, bold economic development is so fast that it will inevitably become a potential threat in the future.
In 2009, after nearly 20 years of peace of mind, courage ushered in its broken moment. Also broken is the myth of "Dare to be king".
3. Lian Po is getting old
On August 8, 2009, a conflict broke out between Myanmar and Kokang. Bullets and gunfire flooded the once wealthy old streets, and the war intensified.
Since 2009, the Burmese army has been in contact with the government of Kokang Special Zone, trying to reorganize the Kokang army and make it a border guard in Myanmar.
Faced with such unreasonable demands, Peng Jiasheng naturally refused decisively. I didn't expect Myanmar to attack boldly on a large scale on the grounds that it was looking for D factory.
After the talks broke down, war broke out and tens of thousands of brave China people fled to the border of China. As one of the main war zones, Laojie has become a dead city.
In the face of a powerful military invasion, Peng Jiasheng and his brave allies suffered heavy losses, and Peng Jiasheng himself disappeared in this war, and his whereabouts have never been known since.
In 20 14, without any warning, Peng Jiasheng once again appeared in Kokang, once again led the remaining troops, confronted the Burmese government forces and occupied the old street again.
But in the end, I still failed to "recover" success.
In desperation, Peng Jiasheng had to choose to disappear from public view again, and was silent.
2065438+On March 26th, 2005, the Burmese government forces ended the last courageous war and unilaterally declared that Myanmar had controlled the whole courageous area, and the troops were the 33rd Division of Myanmar National Defence Force.
It is said that in the same year, Peng Jiasheng was secretly interviewed by a reporter. In that interview, Peng Jiasheng said, "I am 85 years old. I can't eat much or drink much, but there are thousands of eyes staring at me. What do you think I should do? "
After being "recovered" by Myanmar, the local armed forces in Kokang are still active frequently and haunt the Kokang mountain area like ghosts, thus proclaiming the last tenacity of the Kokang people.
In people's mouth, the evaluation of Peng Jiasheng has always been mixed. He chose to disappear twice at the critical juncture of the nation, which made him described as "the end of the world" in the eyes of some people with ulterior motives.
At that time, "Dare to be king" is now nearly 90 years old. I believe it's not that he doesn't have the heart to go to the front again. It's just a pity that "Lian Po is old", but he can't do anything with his mind.
