1924, when the warlords were fighting, Guo Songling was appointed as the head of the army. At that time, Guo Songling was in charge of the Third and Fourth Legions, and Qiu Zongjun obeyed, obeyed and deceived the post of head of the Guard Corps. His task is to protect the regimental headquarters of the third and fourth armies. Later, I was introduced to Wang Hongzao. Seeing that Wang was smart and capable, he thought he was a promising young man, so he betrothed his eldest daughter Qiu to Wang. Once in a drama at Shenyang Women's Normal School, Qiu's second daughter, Qiu Nv, dressed as a man, put on a military uniform and held a command knife, giving great love on the stage. It happened that Sheng (a company commander in Guo Songling) also went to the theatre that day and fell in love with Qiu. Through Guo Songling's matchmaking, Qiu Zongjun married his second daughter to Sheng. Sheng has a wife in Shengjiatun, Kaiyuan County, who divorced because she is an illiterate rural woman.
1925 At the beginning of February, 1925, Guo Songling rebelled and publicly requested to send troops to win Zhang. Guo Songling failed on the battlefield, hurriedly took his wife and cronies to the suburbs of Xinmin County, and hid in the vegetable cellar of the farmhouse, but was caught by Zhang, who immediately ordered him to be shot on the spot with Guo's wife. After the battle between Guo Department and Zhang, Zhang reorganized Guo's troops, and all officers were dismissed and incorporated into the officers' corps, only the salary was not reused. At this time, Qiu Zongjun was also incorporated into the officer corps.
After the second direct service war, the Northeast Army led by Zhang won, and he called himself "Marshal of the Army, Navy and Air Force" in Peiping. Qiu Zongjun let go of his head and was laid off in Shenyang. During this period, Qiu wandered around all day, frequented brothels in Nanshi, and met prostitutes (Shenyang people). They were inseparable and became close friends. Qiu changed Yao from a good friend to a good friend, and Yao became Qiu's little wife. After the September 18th Incident, Qiu Hesheng's younger brother Sheng Shiying came to Xinjiang via the Soviet Siberian Railway. Qiu Zongjun came to Xinjiang in the second year, that is, 1936. At the beginning of his tenure, he first occupied the first courtyard of the big foreign house of the Bank of Belarus in Yili, which was a first-class luxury mansion. In order to enjoy the splendor and show the military power of the frontier guard, Qiu ordered the local officials to redecorate, and specially built an oval garden named "Rising Sun Garden" and a hexagonal pavilion for him. Gardens and fish ponds are dotted with each other and brightly lit every night. The scene was so spectacular that the Qiu family enjoyed it happily.
1938, Qiu Zongjun served as the secretary-general of the frontier inspection agency, holding real military and political power. In addition, the Qiu Mansion was built in Xiaodongliang and Liudao Lane of Jianguo Road in Urumqi, covering an area of 1 000 square meters and divided into two buildings. The inner courtyard is where Qiu's family lives, and the outer courtyard is a guard, kitchen, garage, etc. No one is allowed in except Qiu's family. It is heavily guarded inside and outside, and it is a bureaucratic warlord's yamen. There are eight families around Qiu compound, and they dare not go near Qiu yamen on weekdays. Because Taiwei House has a son-in-law to supervise this big pillar, Taiwei House has special authority relative to other officers, so it is protected by a special guard. This guard team is directly under the office, with 25 staff members. At that time, the monthly salary was 5,000 yuan, all of which was allocated by the Military Affairs Department of the Ministry of Supervision.
There is a vault in the inner courtyard of Qiufu, which is in the innermost part of the bedroom and covers an area of about 15 square meters. There is a three-layer wall frame, each layer is a square frame of 100×70, each frame holds 1 suitcase, and 36 pieces count as * * *. High-grade fine satin, leather goods, sea cucumbers, medicinal materials and other treasures are displayed according to each layer. The warehouse is locked with a big lock that says "the general won't dismount". Only Mrs. Qiu is responsible for the key, and no one else can enter. There are 12 suitcases in the vault, which contain gold bricks, gold bars, gold jewelry, gold necklaces, pearl agate and a pearl undershirt. At that time, there were five treasures circulating in Qiu Fu: a gold plaque, a bunch of pearls, a gold vase, a sword and a pearl undershirt. All these properties were plundered from the masses. Qiu colluded with his youngest wife. For evil, they fabricated charges of "conspiracy to riot" for celebrities and national elites, as well as Bayi and wealthy businessmen, arrested them, confiscated their property and killed people. Take the victim's gold and silver jewelry, high-grade goods, woolen cloth, tapestries and carpets as his own. Qiu embezzled and robbed other people's property, and the amount was huge, but he was sheltered by Sheng. What's more, Qiu used a large amount of public funds to illegally confiscate private property and set up a "Mingji Company" in Yili. The masses dared to be angry but dared not speak.
Qiu is also a murderous executioner. On one occasion, Imam Tudi, deputy chief executive of ethnic minorities in Yili, went to the Ambassador's Office for Reclamation for a meeting and was stopped by the gatekeeper. Afterwards, Qiu heard that there was a discussion in the society, and he personally shot and killed the innocent soldier. The officers and men of the reclamation department go out to exercise, and whoever doesn't like it will be beaten and scolded, punished for running and grounded.
When he was about to leave Xinjiang in the early 1940s, he occupied the Taoyuan site of Minghuiguo in Dihua and built a Mingyuan villa for himself. This area has also been designated as a restricted area, and people are not allowed to get close. A primary school teacher named Zhu Yao led the students on an outing and strayed into the "Mingyuan" restricted area. He was punished by kneeling for one day, and the students were punished by 1 day hard labor. After he left Xinjiang for Lanzhou, Gansu, he built a new official residence on the wasteland of Zuogong East Road in Lanzhou, covering a large area and divided into two buildings. The inner courtyard is a beautiful new quadrangle. The front yard has a concierge, a parking lot and a small garden. The north room of the inner courtyard has a living room, a bedroom, an east wing and a west wing, and there is also a kitchen, a warehouse, a servant room and a bathroom on one side of the inner door. The yard is spacious and the layout is reasonable, but Qiu never imagined that five years later, this luxurious villa would become his own slaughterhouse.
