In China's modern history, Chiang Kai-shek can be said to be an extremely important figure, a famous politician, and the leader of the Republic of China.
Chiang Kai-shek
Such a figure is also feared in the world, and everyone must know that he is the strongest opponent in his life, Mao Zedong. The other man, who died young, died at the hands of Chiang Kai-shek. He is Deng Yanda.
Chiang Kai-shek described them this way: There are two people in the world who can replace me, and one of them has been killed by me. The deceased was none other than Deng Yanda.
So who is Deng Yanda who can make Chiang Kai-shek fear him?
Deng Yanda
Deng Yanda is the leader of the left wing of the Kuomintang and a well-known patriotic democrat. Founder of the Chinese Peasants' and Workers' Party. In 1909, at the age of 16, Deng Yanda was admitted to the Guangdong Army Primary School and secretly joined the League. Later, in 1911, the Xinhai Revolution broke out, deng Yanda went to Chaoshan to participate in the uprising, and then participated in the Northern Expedition of Guangdong. After 1920, he successively served as the staff officer of the First Division of the Guangdong Army, the commander of the Independent Battalion, and the commander of the Third Regiment. Since then, he has become a loyal follower of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. He twice led troops to fight against Chen Jiongming's rebels, and won the trust and praise of Sun Yat-sen. In fact, Deng Yanda's pursuit of Sun Yat-sen is because he has common ideals and beliefs, so he can let them fight side by side, they are not only superiors and subordinates, but also comrades-in-arms who struggle together. No matter how difficult the situation was, Deng Yanda sincerely supported the three major policies put forward by Dr. Sun Yat-sen: "uniting with Russia, uniting with the Communist Party, and supporting peasants and workers." Such an unswerving revolutionary partner made many people in the Kuomintang have a little more respect for Deng Yanda.
When Deng Yanda was the commander-in-chief and education chief of the Whampoa Military Academy, he not only handed over military knowledge to the students, but also taught the students to love the country, love the family, unite and love. Deng Yanda has always maintained an upright and serious military style in the military academy, which makes the students respect him. In this way, Deng Yanda, with his outstanding ability, firm revolutionary will, and upright personality charm, established the image of an advanced revolutionary and won the support of many people up and down the party. Deng Yanda also relied on his outstanding work performance to let Chiang Kai-shek maintain a cooperative relationship with him.
But in 1927, Chiang Kai-shek and Deng Yanda parted ways, and their relationship broke down and even reached sharp opposition. When Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup and wantonly slaughtered our Party figures and the revolutionary masses, Deng Yanda openly sided with him, strongly rebuked Chiang Kai-shek for betraying the revolution, and organized a propaganda team to give speeches to the citizens, shouting firm anti-Chiang Slogans. In the face of Deng Yanda's condemnation, Chiang Kai-shek was extremely distressed by this, and he sent people to persuade him to surrender many times, but all of them were rejected, and later he used the high-ranking official Houlu to lure Deng Yanda to serve as deputy commander-in-chief and go to Jiangxi to suppress the communists, or let him mediate in the division of Ningyue and Go abroad to investigate, but deng Yanda still refused in words.
In November 1931, Deng Yanda was imprisoned by Chiang Kai-shek at the Fuguishan Fort, and the old Chiang Kai-shek said to him bitterly: "Choosing a life, others oppose me, and it can be said that you are my friend for many years, what can not be clearly explained, why can't you cooperate with me?" Deng Yanda only replied lightly: "As long as you do not act against Mr. Zhongshan's wishes, of course I can cooperate with you, and cooperate very well." Chiang Kai-shek knew that he could not do what Deng Yanda said, so he had to take a step back: "It doesn't matter if you don't cooperate with me, as long as you don't write articles that attack me, you can go out." Who knew that Deng Yanda just looked at Chiang Kai-shek and said, "It's not me Deng who wants to write, it's Chinese people who want to write." At this moment, Chiang Kai-shek could no longer control his anger, picked up his gloves and went outside, leaving only one sentence: "If you want to figure it out, come to me." When the guards tried to rescue him from escaping, Deng Yanda said: "If I escape, I will become a fugitive, and I believe that Chiang is just selling his reputation and does not dare to do anything to me." But it turned out that Deng Yanda was only half right, and on the night of November 29, 1931, Chiang Kai-shek's guard leader, Wang Shihe, secretly escorted him to Shazigang outside the Qilin Gate in Nanjing on the pretext of moving to Tangshan. Halfway through, the people in the car lied that the car broke down and asked Deng Yanda to get out of the car. However, when Deng Yanda got out of the car, the cold gunshots sounded from behind, and Deng Yanda fell to the ground and lay on the cold ground. Deng Yanda, who was regarded by Chiang Kai-shek as a serious problem in his heart, quietly passed away, and a comet representing the "democratic revolution" fell. Deng Yanda was only 36 years old that year, and he was in his prime.
