The bandits also recruited troops and horses in various places, expanded their territory, and proclaimed themselves kings.

What is the "Guisui Army", "Underground Army", "** National Salvation Army", "Free Democratic Alliance Army", "Independent Division"...... There are no less than dozens of kinds, and some of them are only a few dozen guns, so they are called commanders. In Guangxi, a large number of bandits and bandits have popped up all of a sudden, which is really the most of the six provinces in central and southern China.
Why are there so many bandits in Guangxi? In addition to the defeat of the Kuomintang troops in Guangxi, leaving many stragglers with no way out to become bandits, there is another important reason, that is, the deep-rooted sense of banditry since ancient times. A long time ago, some people called themselves "Nanban", and of course they were proud of "barbarians". In other places, people also feel it, and it is no wonder that the Katsura family can get out. There is a joke, which is well described, saying that there are southerners going to the north, the weather in the north is extremely cold, and the southerners have to buckle their heads, shrink their necks, grit their teeth, grin, shout, clench their fists, and keep out the cold with their own "internal strength". But the northerners saw it and mistakenly thought that the southerners were very "barbaric" and aggressive. Even during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang's Southern Expedition created the famous "Seven Captures of Meng Huo", which shows how "powerful" the "brute" disobedience of these "soil emperors" is! In the Republic of China, the old Gui warlord Lu Rongting and his subordinates, many of whom were born as bandits in the past. Therefore, there is a proverb among the people in the market: the commander walks all over the street, the commander is more than a dog, kills people and oversells goods, and fights every day. and "want to be an official, kill people and set fire to be punished". It can really be said that "everyone has a gun, and there is no panic in their hearts; Everyone has a gun, the king of grass, and ten thousand taels of gold. This is the true portrayal of the bandits in Guangxi.
This bandit, the People's Liberation Army and the local bandit suppression armed forces, are suppressed and suppressed, exterminated and destroyed, just like cutting leeks, cutting and growing, and the end is endless. So much so that Chairman Mao, who was far away in Beijing, was not satisfied with the work of suppressing bandits in Guangxi, and personally inquired about the suppression of bandits in Guangxi and gave important instructions.
The reason for the ineffectiveness of the suppression of bandits may be because of the influence of Zhuge Liang's "seven captures of Meng Shu" during the Three Kingdoms period, and he believed that in this minority area, he should be reformed with "leniency" and "convincing people with virtue", resulting in some bandits being arrested and released, released and arrested, and never able to solve the problem. The life of the bandits is much better, but the People's Liberation Army, government functionaries, and the people are miserable, those who are killed are killed, and those who are robbed are robbed. For a while, the situation became very dangerous.
