My wife's beauty is me, and I am selfish; The beauty of the concubine is me, and the one who fears me; The beauty of the guest is my, and the desire is also to me.
At the beginning of the article, let's first take a paragraph from "Zou Jie Satirizes the Qi Wang Na Zhi".
Putting aside the background story of this text, just from the literal meaning, but anyone who gets the praise of his own people, do not be complacent, because it contains too many unspeakable secrets, perhaps simple emotional tendencies, perhaps due to status and inferiority, or perhaps there is a need for it.
So I have a truth from it:
The praise of the enemy is the most objective evaluation of oneself.
Before the outbreak of Japan's all-out war of aggression against China, the Japanese were very disdainful of China's military capabilities and military experts, believing that the only "three and a half" Chinese people at that time were really qualified to be called military experts, namely Jiang Baili, Bai Chongxi, Yang Jie, and Liu Fei.
Hero
PS: Among them, Liu Fei is called "half a military man" by the Japanese because he is blind in one eye.
This article introduces Yang Jie, who was born in the Yunnan Army to study in Japan in pursuit of progress, served as chief of staff at Chiang Kai-shek's side after graduating from the University of the Japanese Army, became Chiang Kai-shek's indispensable military arm, and eventually died under the assassination order of this old leader.
How high is Yang Jie's military talent and status? In addition to the respect of the Japanese, he was also known as "Southern Yang and Northern Jiang" along with Jiang Baili, principal of the Baoding Army Officer School. Later, he was able to be like a glue with Chiang Kai-shek, and there was a great chance factor.
Earlier, we said that Yang Jie originally went to Japan to study in order to pursue progress, gave up his original rank of lieutenant general, although he was far away from the smoke of the battlefield, he still always paid attention to the domestic situation, maintained close contact with many generals of the revolutionary army, and just returned to China to become the chief of staff of the Third Army of the Nationalist Army, and then participated in the Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army.
In 1929, Chiang Kai-shek appointed Yang Jie as chief of the general staff of the Army, Navy and Air Force Headquarters, and participated in the command of Chiang Kai-shek's war with gui, Feng Yuxiang, and Tang Shengzhi, and won a great victory, thus becoming Chiang Kai-shek's true confidant.
It was precisely because of his outstanding military talent and fierce loyalty that in 1931 Yang Jie was appointed president of the Army University and began to cultivate outstanding military talents for the country. In fact, this is also a move of Chiang Kai-shek, and it is not reassuring for others to serve as the president of the Army University, because others are not absolutely loyal to themselves, so the students they teach will also have great uncertainty. For Yang Jie, Chiang Kai-shek is at ease, so let him cultivate talents and be loyal to himself The probability is much higher.
Is this really the case? Chiang Kai-shek underestimated Yang Jie's character as a new generation of soldiers.
Although Yang Jie had done his best to help Chiang Kai-shek win the Victory in the Central Plains War, it was not that Yang Jie was loyal to Chiang Kai-shek, but that Yang Jie finally revolutionized, and he thought that Chiang Kai-shek was a real revolutionary, but later Yang Jie realized that he was wrong. From the Lushan Training Regiment bumping into Chiang Kai-shek to the dismissal of the post of chief of the general staff after the Lugou Bridge incident, the "honeymoon period" of Yang and Chiang seems to have passed, and the two began to drift apart.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Yang Jie really saw through Chiang Kai-shek, he was an out-and-out dictator, in order to establish his own "Yi yan tang" at the expense of his comrades-in-arms, how could such a warlord-filled ruler follow, so Yang Jie refused Chiang Kai-shek's appointment to him as chairman of the Yunnan provincial government.
"Chiang Kai-shek is a single husband, and if he does not collapse, I will become a monk; the revolutions of the past have passed, and now we must start again."
It was precisely because Yang Jie's deeds and words revealed the intention of "opposing Chiang Kai-shek" everywhere, so he was deeply disgusted by Chiang Kai-shek, and there was also the assassination of Mao Renfeng later.
Mao Ren Feng
On September 9, 1948, Yang Jie went to Hong Kong under the pseudonym Yang Shushi, but the news leaked, and Mao Renfeng, director of the Military Command Bureau, immediately reported to Chiang Kai-shek, and after receiving instructions on "sanctioning Yang", immediately ordered Ye Xiangzhi in Hong Kong to preside over this operation. On the afternoon of September 18, Yang Jie, who lives at 260 Hennessy Avenue in Wan Chai, was blocked downstairs by Ye Xiangzhi and Han Shichang, and after two gunshots, Yang Jie collapsed in a pool of blood.
