Qiao Mingli’s personal life

On February 1, 1894, Qiao Mingli was born into a landlord family. He entered a private school in his village at the age of eight, and entered the junior class of the private two-level primary school in Beixi Village, Gaocheng at the age of 12. The teacher at that time, Mr. Hao Wenzhao, returned from a trip to Japan and gave a tearful lecture to the students: The defeat of the Sino-Japanese War of 1898 and the ceding of territory and the indemnity and the growing power of Japan after the Meiji Restoration meant that if China did not rush to strengthen itself, it would be a disaster of national subjugation and annihilation. So much. This speech made the deepest impression on Qiao Mingli, and Qiao Mingli began to have the mentality of saving the country and becoming strong.

In 1907, Qiao Mingli entered the higher primary school in Huolu County at the age of fourteen and left Zhengding County Middle School at the age of twenty-two. During the eight years, he learned some general scientific knowledge, and the history textbooks, from the Opium War to A period of modern history in which the Eight-Power Allied Forces ravaged Hebei further promoted Qiao Mingli's patriotism, and his desire to learn military skills became more urgent.

In 1915, Jiangxi Hukou Electric School was established. Its purpose was to use lightning to block the Yangtze River once Japan attacked China. Wang Shizhen, the then Chief of the Army Department of the Beiyang Government, introduced Qiao Mingli and more than ten students to study at the school. Soon, Yuan Shikai, driven by his dream of becoming an emperor, surrendered to Japan, signed a twenty-one traitorous treaty, and proclaimed himself Emperor Hongxian for restoration. This caused Qiao Mingli to believe that to save the country, he must first fight against Yuan.

On June 6, 1916, Yuan Shikai died of depression amid nationwide condemnation. In January 1917, students from the Hukou Electric School were admitted to the fifth phase of Baoding Military Academy by the Ministry of War. Qiao Mingli was quite pleased to learn that he could learn military instruction and combat command from now on, and that he would be an army cadre in the future and have the possibility of participating in the Great Patriotic War. Qiao Mingli was enrolled in the infantry department, and was a classmate of Chu Xichun, Fu Zuoyi, Zhang Yinwu and other famous generals at the same time.

In September 1918, after graduating from Baoding Military Academy, Qiao Mingli was sent to the Huangsi War Officer Training Corps in Beijing for training. In 1919, he was sent to the Eighth Regiment of the Second Division of the Jinan War Army (later changed to the Border Guard Army) and served as the platoon commander of the third company and the company commander of the eighth company. After the Anhui War in July 1920, it was changed to the Shandong Seventh Brigade (downsized in 1920) and served as company commander, battalion affiliate, and regiment affiliate of the second regiment. When Zhang Zongchang entered Shandong, it was changed to the second echelon of advance troops. Qiao Mingli was appointed as the deputy commander of the first regiment, and Fang Zhenwu (a graduate of Anqing Military Academy in Anhui and the grandfather of the first Chief Secretary for Administration of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Anson Chan) was appointed as the commander. In 1925, it was renamed the Fifth National Army in Puyang, and its commander was Fang Zhenwu. At this time, Fang detained the regiment leader Shi Fengchi and promoted Qiao Mingli from the deputy commander of the first regiment to the regiment commander. It is suspected that Qiao Mingli framed him for promotion to regiment leader. Qiao Mingli left a letter to Fang Zhenwu explaining the reasons and asking Fang to release Shi, but abandoned his post and fled back to his hometown to show that he was not a traitor to his friends for glory.

In May 1926, at the invitation of Shi Fengchi and the officers and soldiers who fled back to Jinan from Fangbu, Qiao Mingli returned to the 195th Brigade in Jinan from his place of origin and served as the commander of the 415th Regiment. During this period, he married Feng Ruilin from Gaocheng County. In January 1928, he was appointed as the commander of the 267th Regiment of the 45th Division of the Fourth Army Zhenwu of the First Group of the National Revolutionary Army in Anhui, and participated in the Northern Expedition. In the winter of that year, while stationed in Huangsi, Beijing, Fang Zhenwu introduced Qiao Mingli to join the Chinese Kuomintang. In September 1929, Fang Zhenwu was arrested while attending a meeting in Nanjing and imprisoned in Tangshan Army Prison for plotting against Chiang Kai-shek with Han Fuju, Shi Yousan and others. Qiao Mingli's regiment stationed in Datong, Jiangnan, and the brigade commander stationed in Anqing, Yu Yanong (a graduate of the first phase of infantry at the Baoding Military Academy and an army major general), agreed that the Communist Party of China would join forces to oppose Chiang Kai-shek. Qiao Mingli's regiment attacked the headquarters of Han Deqin (a graduate of the sixth infantry department of Baoding Military Academy, Army Lieutenant General) of the Third Brigade of the Chiang Kai-shek Army in Wuhu City and occupied it for one day. After being forced by Chiang Kai-shek's navy, army, and air force to retreat to the Nanshan Mountains, they fought with the pursuing Chiang Army's Fifth Division Hu Zuyu (a graduate of the sixth infantry course of Baoding Military Academy, Army Lieutenant General) and Han Deqin's 3rd Brigade in Nanling, South Anhui. Jing, Jixi and other places. After the failure, Qiao Mingli returned to Beijing and continued to participate in anti-Chiang activities with Yu Yanong, Ruan Xuanwu (a graduate of the sixth infantry course of Baoding Military Academy, Army Lieutenant General), Bao Gang and others, and was therefore wanted and expelled from the party.

In July 1930, Feng Yuxiang appointed Bao Gang as the commander of the Second Division of the Second Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army. Qiao Mingli served as the regiment commander. After the defeat in the Central Plains War, he was stationed in Jincheng, Yicheng, Jiexiu and other places in Shanxi Province, and later served as deputy division commander. After the September 18th Incident, Feng Yuxiang organized the Anti-Japanese Allied Army in Chahar. In 1933, it marched north along the eastern foot of the Taihang Mountains, exited Feihukou, and was stationed in Yu County. It was changed to the Second Army of the Anti-Japanese Allied Army. Qiao Mingli was still the deputy division commander, stationed in Nuan. In Quancun, Bao Gang attempted to betray Fang Zhenwu and Feng Yuxiang. Someone planned to go to Xuanhua to find Fang Zhenwu, but Bao Gang discovered it. One afternoon Bao ordered Qiao Mingli to give a speech to the Xin Shaoqin Department of the First Regiment. Bao said: The team has been assembled, you can go. Qiao Mingli hadn't said a word when he arrived at the first regiment. Bao's guards came and said: "The division commander has kidnapped three staff officers. Please go rescue them quickly!" Qiao Mingli took a few steps back and heard several shots fired. Qiao thought that Bao Gang was afraid of stopping him from killing, so he sent him away. Qiao Mingli was very unhappy and slowly returned to his room. Adjutant Li told Qiao: Three staff officers, Li, Wang, and Pan, have been shot, and there are more than 20 people who have been arrested or to be arrested! Qiao immediately told Adjutant Li to escape with you. Qiao Mingli believed that they were all enthusiastic anti-Japanese youths and should not wait for this unnecessary sacrifice, so he asked them to leave. Gu Ping, the director of the 10th Regiment of the Democratic National Founding Army after the Handan Uprising in October 1945, was one of them.

In mid-October 1933, under the attack of the Kuomintang and the Japanese army, the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces failed and disintegrated.

Feng Yuxiang left the field, Fang Zhenwu and Ji Hongchang sneaked to Tianjin, Bao Gang defected to Chiang Kai-shek, and the Second Division was reduced to the 46th Independent Brigade. Bao became the brigade commander, and still asked Qiao Mingli to be his deputy brigade commander, who would go to Jiangxi to fight against the Red Army. Because Qiao Mingli was dissatisfied with Bao's actions during his time in the Allied Army, he asked for leave to stay in Beijing for medical treatment. Qiao Mingli originally planned to stay in North China to look for opportunities to fight against Japan. He stayed with his classmate and friend Ruan Xuanwu in Chabei Kangbao for more than two months and planned to join the 29th Army. During the chat, he learned that the 29th Army was making compromises with Japan. He did not agree with Qiao's original intention, so he returned to Beijing.

In the autumn of 1934, when Qiao Mingli could not find a legitimate way out, Bao Gang came to Beijing to find Qiao before returning to his original army. Qiao Mingli went back to Taihe Sha Village, Jiangxi Province with Bao Gang without any consideration. trip. At that time, Wu Shiming, secretary-general of the Kuomintang Special Party Department, and Bao Gang introduced Qiao Mingli to join the Kuomintang again. In 1936, Qiao Mingli was recommended to join the fourth batch of Nanjing Military Officer Higher Education Class for training. In late June 1937, Qiao Mingli left Nanjing and returned to his hometown. Not long after the "July 7th Incident", he went to Taiyuan to find Chu Xichun and Zhang Yinwu to discuss organizing anti-Japanese forces. At this time, the Nationalist Government had appointed Zhang Yinwu as the director of the Hebei Civilian Training Department of the Baoding Camp. Qiao and Zhang went to Baoding to gather more than 1,000 educated youths from Hebei to establish a cadre training center, organized into four teams. Qiao was appointed as the director of education, and Zhang was also the director. . After the fall of Baoding on September 24, 1937, the Cadre Training Institute retreated to Lingchuan County, Shanxi Province for anti-Japanese war education. At this time, Zhang was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Hebei People's Army, and Wang Changjiang (a native of Boye County, Hebei, the same hometown as Zhang Yinwu, and a graduate of the ninth infantry department of Baoding Military Academy) served as deputy commander. In 1938, Zhang Yinwu ordered Qiao Mingli to lead the third team of 100 students back to Hebei to organize the Hebei People's Army in the name of the commander of the Second People's Military Region. First, they went to Zuoquan Shangzhuang to get in touch with the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army. Yang Xiufeng (who served as Chairman of the People's Government of Hebei Province after 1949) who was stationed in Guaier Town convened a meeting to discuss the cooperation plan for development in Hebei. The 129th Division attended the meeting. Division political commissar Deng Xiaoping, deputy division commander Xu Xiangqian, representatives of Sun Dianying and Qiao Mingli. Qiao Mingli believed that this meeting was a concrete manifestation of the brothers' jealousy outside the wall to resist their insults. At this time, Qiao Mingli was collected by Xingtai Luochuan and the defeated troops of the 53rd Army were taken away by Wu Jinduo. Only Gao Huamin, who was determined not to leave, and more than 400 people followed Qiao Mingli into the Heishui River of Yuanshi, Hebei, to meet the Japanese invaders from Shijiazhuang. The bandits were driven back near Changhe in Huolu County. Platoon leader Meng Xianbo was killed and several others were injured. The enemy's casualties were twice as many as mine.

At that time, there was a friction between the 192nd Division of the Eighth Route Army and the Hou Ruyong Department of the North China Guerrilla Detachment 24 (later changed to the 13th Detachment) of the Kuomintang Ranger Corps due to the recruitment of troops. Qiao Mingli once convened the Heishui River Conference to mediate the dispute. The meeting was attended by Deng Xiaoping and Yang Xiufeng from the Eighth Route Army, and Hou Ruyong from the Kuomintang.

In May 1938, Qiao Mingli led 40 students and two squadrons from the Gaohua Civilian Department across the Beijing-Hankou Railway and entered the Great Plains stationed in Liyang Town, Gaocheng County. They cooperated with the Ma Yutang Department of the Eighth Route Army to destroy the railway between Gaocheng and Shijiazhuang. The enemy's telephone lines are more than fifty miles away. Ma's troops withdrew eastward, but Qiao Mingli's troops did not move. Dawn on the third day. More than thirty enemy vehicles surrounded Liyang Town, and five vehicles filled with enemy infantry stopped at the gate of the house where Qiao Mingli lived. Qiao led his troops to fire grenades from the house. The enemy was dead and wounded in piles before they could fire back. The enemy's artillery only bombarded the neighboring villages, causing little damage to Qiao Mingli's troops. Another dense enemy force that entered Xitou was also attacked by grenades and machine gun fire from Qiao Mingli's troops. After inflicting casualties on the enemy, retreat with the masses from the north. It was already noon when the enemy entered Liyang, killing people and setting fire to them. In the afternoon, Qiao Mingli led his troops from Xitou into Liyang to gather the masses to put out the fire. In this battle, 72 enemies were killed and more than 100 were wounded. Its commander was also killed. From then on, the people knew that the Japanese invaders were not to be feared. Anyone who dared to attack them would die. Qiao Mingli was slightly injured in his left leg, and more than ten officers and soldiers were also injured or killed.

After that, Wang Ziyao, a native of Yaoshan, Hebei, returned to the Hebei People's Army with more than 3,000 armed men and appointed him as the commander of the first detachment of the Hebei People's Army; The commander of the fourth detachment; Yan Shaotang (a native of the Northeast) of the Japanese gendarmerie led more than a hundred people anyway, and more than a thousand people from the Gaohua Civilian Department and another unit of the 53rd Army, He Fengxiang's unit, were defeated and organized into the fifth detachment. Shang Zhengxia, commander of the 19th Army Battalion, was the commander. Zhu Yuzhang, a native of Jin County, gathered more than a thousand people from the local team and organized them into the sixth detachment. During the six months since the war in Liyang, the enemy invaders had not interfered, giving Qiao Mingli an opportunity to expand and rectify. Destroying the Beijing-Hankow Railway and electric wires became the daily task of Qiao Mingli's department.

Soon, six to seven hundred enemies with three cannons as their backbone came out of Gaocheng and went to Tuntou Village to spread the word to the masses that they would attack the bandits in the northeast area of ??the village. After Qiao Mingli received the report, he immediately ordered Shang Zhengxia's troops to set up ambushes in Zhougua Village north of Xibailu, and Xia Weixin's troops in other villages west of Xibailu to block the enemy; he also ordered Yan Jilu's troops to wait for the enemy to leave the camp and occupy the village to block their retreat; Qiao Mingli and Zhu Yuzhang blocked his east and west in Gua Village of Nanzhou. All forty or fifty enemy cavalrymen were annihilated in the south area of ??Xibailu Village. At noon, all the Japanese invaders were surrounded in the flat and open cultivated land. They fought for two days and a whole night. All the horses pulling the cannons were killed or captured. There were only a few Japanese invaders who survived without injury. In the afternoon of the next day, a large number of enemy reinforcements arrived, causing Qiao Mingli's troops to lose the gains they had made. After that, Qiao Mingli's troops inflicted heavy casualties on the Japanese invaders in Dongxichenzhuang, Pingxiang, Jinxian County, Qiutou, Gaocun, Gaocheng and other places, and there were even more small battles.

In addition, Jiang Yuying's second regiment of Qiao Mingli's tribe was formed from the local team of Shulu (today's Xinji City). They once resisted the enemy brigade commander Furong Zhenping (Japanese army during the Battle of Taierzhuang) in Luozhuang, Shulu. The captain of the 63rd Infantry Regiment of the 10th Division personally commanded the attack of more than 90 car-based Japanese soldiers.

Fighting from dawn to dusk, Qiao Mingli led his troops to pick them out from the north and surround them. The enemy chief Furong Zhenping was also killed by a stray bullet.

On December 16, 1938, due to the competition for territory, the Shenxian incident occurred between the Eighth Route Army Lu Zhengcao and the Hebei People's Army. The three main regiments of the Hebei People's Army rebelled on the battlefield under the leadership of deputy commander Wang Changjiang and chief of staff Zhang Cunshi. On June 21, 1939, He Long personally attacked the black horse Zhangzhuang, surrounded Zhang Yinwu and the People's Army headquarters in Mazhuang, and surrounded Qiao Mingli and others in Zhangqian Temple. Zhang Yinwu's unit of the Hebei People's Army was completely defeated, and only more than 200 people were able to break through. Qiao Mingli was seriously injured. Captured. Qiao Mingli was therefore very dissatisfied with Lu Zhengcao's move. After being captured, he said to Zhao Jincheng, leader of the Central Hebei Military Region: "The Japanese invaders in Shijiazhuang offered me 100,000 yuan to buy me, but I died for 50,000 yuan. You beat me like this, and the Japanese invaders won't give you 10,000 yuan." Wan Ye has to give you 50,000, you can go and receive the reward ("Qiao Mingli in the Anti-Japanese War", "Characters of the Spring and Autumn Period") "Later, because of the United Front, Qiao Mingli was released. Since Yang Xiufeng had a good relationship with him, Zhong**. * Let Yang Xiufeng do his work and persuade him to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army. Yang Xiufeng is in charge of politics and Qiao Mingli is in charge of military affairs. In Qiao Mingli's view, this kind of cooperation would undoubtedly be eaten up, so of course he did not agree.

Qiao Mingli proposed that he should be allowed to continue fighting in Hebei, and Yang Xiufeng agreed. However, several conditions were put forward. First, Qiao Mingli's Gaocheng County Government should be abolished. Second, Qiao Mingli should be divided into defense zones. Qiao Mingli agreed to the first item. At this time, he had little room for bargaining. As for the second item, he said he could not accept it. Because the Japanese troops raided enemy lines frequently, it was impossible not to cross the defense zone. At the end of the year, Zhang Yinwu was dismissed due to failure in friction, and Qiao Mingli succeeded him as the commander-in-chief of the Hebei People's Army. At this time, the Hebei People's Army dropped from 100,000 at its peak to less than a few thousand, and it completely lost its right to speak in Hebei. In the spring of 1940, Qiao Mingli led his troops to cross the Yellow River from Zhongmu County to Zhengzhou. On the way from Zhaojiayangbei to Zhengzhou, Qiao Mingli led his troops to fight the Japanese invaders all day long in Erzu Village in Ci County, Hebei Province, Daluo Village in Fengqiu, Henan Province, and He'an in Yangwu County, giving the Japanese invaders a huge blow. There were more than ten killings and small battles.

In the winter of 1940, Qiao Mingli's troops were mobilized to fight in Zhongtiao Mountain and stationed in Baishu Ao as the reserve force of the 80th Army. In Zhongtiao Mountain, Qiao Mingli's civilian army was a ragtag group of ragtag soldiers, receiving only 50,000 yuan in military pay per month. It could be said that they were severely discriminated against.

In May of the following year, the Japanese invaders launched a massive attack on the Zhongtiao Mountain position, and the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain broke out. The Kuomintang troops guarding Zhongtiao Mountain, about 200,000 people, were all broken up within two days of the battle and retreated in droves. The Japanese army, which was intercepted in advance when heading to the Yellow River, suffered heavy losses. The Hebei People's Army, which had a strong guerrilla atmosphere, was not accustomed to retreating to the Yellow River, but instead circled in the mountains. As a result, the Hebei People's Army stayed on the north bank of the Yellow River for the longest time, suffered minimal losses when they withdrew, and the unit organization was not in chaos. They crossed south from the Yellow River ferry in the Pinglu area. In Zhixia County, Qiao Mingli lost contact with the army. More than 20 people with Qiao Mingli were besieged by the Japanese invaders in three cave dwellings in Sigou Village, Shangji Town. Qiao Mingli immediately asked the Japanese army to send representatives. The Japanese invaders immediately threw grenades. Qiao Mingli waited in the kiln. The enemy bombs were ineffective. The traitor shouted again: "The imperial army asked you to hand over your guns!" Qiao Mingli said: "What are you going to use to fight the Japanese after you surrender your guns!" The Japanese invaders walked from the right to the kiln. They rushed towards the door and were killed by Qiao Mingli and his troops, killing more than thirty people. There is a river ditch in front of the kiln entrance, and there is a hillside beyond that. There are no land features to use. It was not until eight o'clock in the evening that Qiao Mingli led his troops down the river ditch from the left wing and followed the ditch to Shibanqiao (Bali). The Japanese invaders didn't know that Qiao Mingli had led his troops to leave, but they were still firing machine guns and throwing grenades in Sigou.

The Hebei People's Army retreated completely in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, and the First War Zone was immediately impressed. His military salary soared from the previous 50,000 to 370,000 ("Qiao Mingli in the Anti-Japanese War", "Characters of the Spring and Autumn Period"), and Qiao Mingli also got rid of the long-term lack of food and clothing. After crossing south, the Hebei People's Army was arranged to the Yellow River River Defense north of Mianchi, under the command of Gao Shuxun, the commander-in-chief of the Hebei-Chacha War Zone. In the spring of 1944, Qiao Mingli was transferred to the Chongqing Central Training Corps for training. The Hebei People's Army was represented by Qin Yimin.

One week after the Battle of Central Henan broke out, Luoyang fell and the Hebei People's Army was trapped in the Mianchi River Defense. The commander of the First War Zone transferred Qiao Mingli back to Henan. When Qiao Mingli rushed to Commander Ma Fawu of the 40th Army in Western Henan (a graduate of the artillery department of the eighth phase of Baoding Military Academy and a lieutenant general in the army), he learned that the Japanese invaders were marching westward from Shaanxi County and that Mianchi had long been occupied by the Japanese invaders. There is no news from Qiao Mingli's department. He only knew that Gao Shuxun had retreated to the official road of Lushi County, so he went to find Gao Shuxun. Gao said to Qiao: Your agent Qin Yimin has surrendered to the enemy. I will bring you more than 300 people. Soon, Gao's radio station received a telegram from Yan Shaotang, the head of Qiao Mingli's department, saying that he had led the entire regiment to move in the direction of the 40th Army. Qiao Mingli then drafted a telegram and sent it to the high-level radio station, calling Yan Laiguan Daokou.

Gao Lingqiao led Yan Tuan to Mianchi to contain the broken troops; he ordered the New Eighth Army (Commander Gao Shuxun) to move into Shangge to support Qiao Mingli. By that time, the invaders had withdrawn from Mianchi. Qiao Mingli took in more than 3,000 soldiers from all the defeated armies and organized them into two regiments, with Liu Xinmin (the deputy commander of the New Eighth Army recuperating in Mianchi) and Zheng Boyong (the commander of the sixth detachment) as the commanders. The newly collected troops had neither discipline nor orders. Qiao Mingli cannot absolve himself of the blame for his conflict with the local team Shangguan Ziping, which caused harm to the local area. Liu Mao'en, chairman of the Henan Provincial Government (a graduate of the Sixth Period of Baoding Military Academy's Troops Department and a lieutenant general in the army) accused Chiang Kai-shek of Qiao Mingli's disturbance in Mianchi. In the winter of that year, he was transferred to Xiping in western Henan for training. In January and February 1945, the battle in Zhenping was still under the command of Gao Shuxun.

In April and May, the Japanese invaders attacked Nanyang and aimed directly at Laohekou, the headquarters of the Fifth Theater Command. After Qiao Mingli covered the retreat of Gao Shuxun's headquarters at Sanyi Pass in Zhenping, he retreated to the mountains of Mashankou in Neixiang County to rest, and did not participate in the large and chaotic escape to Xiping.

In June 1945, the Hebei-Cha War Zone was changed to the Eleventh War Zone. Gao Shuxun was appointed Lieutenant General, Deputy Commander-in-Chief and Commander of the New Eighth Army, and Lieutenant General Ma Fa5 was appointed Deputy Commander-in-Chief and Commander of the Forty Army. , Song Kentang (graduated from the Artillery Department of the 8th phase of Baoding Military Academy) was appointed as Lieutenant General, Deputy Commander-in-Chief and Chief of Staff. In August 1945, the Japanese surrendered. The Kuomintang ordered Gao Shuxun to command the armies to advance towards the Hebei Eighth Route Army's defense line, cross the Yellow River from Zhengzhou, and reach Handan in October. At that time, Ma Fawu's Forty Army was blocked from advancing and suffered heavy losses. Gao Shuxun ordered Qiao Mingli and Fan Longzhang to guard the Dongcheng Camp in Ci County and cover the Forty Army's retreat south. Ma Fawu was captured by the Eighth Route Army during the battle. It was not until early March 1946 that he was released in exchange with Ye Ting, commander of the New Fourth Army who was illegally imprisoned by the Kuomintang.

One morning in October 1945, Gao Shuxun called Qiao Mingli and Fan Longzhang to Matou Town, Handan. Gao decided to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army. After the uprising, Gao Shuxun and Qiao Mingli were warmly welcomed by the party, government, military and civilians of the Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu Military Region. Qiao Mingli still had the feeling in his heart that it was one thing to welcome him, and it was another thing to settle old scores, but because he was determined to let things go, he dealt with everything calmly.

After the uprising of Qiao Mingli's Hebei People's Army and Gao Shuxun's New Eighth Army, they were changed to the Democratic National Founding Army. Gao Shuxun was appointed commander-in-chief, Qiao Mingli was appointed commander of the Second Army, and Fan Longzhang was appointed commander of the First Army. On May 27, 1946, in recognition of Qiao Mingli's uprising, Chairman Mao Zedong and Commander-in-Chief Zhu De signed their own photos and presented them to Qiao Mingli. Mao Zedong's signature is "Commander Qiao Huicun, Mao Zedong." Zhu De's signature is "Commander Qiao Huicun, Mao Zedong." Zhu De's signature is "Commander Qiao Huicun, Zhu De, twenty-seventh day of the twenty-fifth year of the Republic of China." In these two precious photos, Qiao Mingli's children have always been intact Preserved to this day.

In April 1948, due to the Hao Pengju incident, there were rumors that the Democratic Nationalist Alliance would rebel. Xu Xiangqian disarmed him and transferred Qiao Mingli to the North China Military Region Headquarters. In October of the same year, he was transferred to North China Military and Political University as a senior military instructor and taught senior cadres a period of large-scale regiment tactics. In 1950, he was transferred to the Advanced Research Office of the Military Training Department of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China as a researcher. In the same year, he was transferred to the Sixth Advanced Infantry School of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in Shijiazhuang as an instructor.

In April 1953, he changed his job and served as deputy minister of agriculture of the North China Military and Political Commission.

In January 1955, he was introduced to the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang by Gao Shuxun, Vice Governor of the People's Government of Hebei Province and others, and was approved by the 56th Committee of the Preparatory Committee of the Hebei Branch of the Kuomintang. In April of the same year, he was appointed as deputy director of the Agriculture and Forestry Department of the Hebei Provincial Government and counselor of the Council Office.

In April 1956, the Hebei Provincial People's Government instructed to abolish the Department of Agriculture and Forestry and establish the Department of Agriculture. He was still appointed as deputy director. On April 12, 1957, Zhou Enlai, Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, personally signed and issued the appointment letter. Qiao Mingli was also invited as a special member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and was elected as a standing member by the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee.

Suffered from cerebral hemorrhage in 1960. After recovery, he was appointed as deputy director of the Hebei Provincial Government Consultative Office and stayed in Baoding.

He died in Beijing on February 16, 1965 due to the recurrence of esophageal cancer.

In August 2003, the Baoding Military Academy Memorial Hall cast a bronze statue for General Qiao Mingli.
