Lao Chiang's failure was, in the final analysis, his own reasons. Lao Jiang's suspiciousness and stubbornness finally made him retreat to a corner.
During the years that Lao Jiang was in power, he had a total of three experiences of going into the wilderness. And every time he went into the wilderness, Lao Jiang would execute a person who could change the situation.
Lao Jiang went to the field three times and executed which three people? Why did Lao Jiang go into the wilderness?
Wang Tianpei, who became a punching bag
When Lao Jiang went to the field for the first time, he once executed a general named Wang Tianpei. Speaking of Wang Tianpei now, I may not know him very well.
But in that turbulent period, Wang Tianpei was a very famous person. Although Wang Tianpei's family is poor, he has been appreciated by the local rich and cultivated by the local rich families.
When Wang Tianpei was a child, the anti-Qing struggle became more and more intense. Under the influence of various revolutionary ideas, Wang Tianpei finally decided to apply for the military academy and overthrow the Qing government by force.
Later, he joined the League and also participated in the Xinhai Revolution. After the Xinhai Revolution, Wang Tianpei was sent to the Baoding Military Academy.
Before the establishment of the Huangpu Military Academy, the Baoding Military Academy trained most of the officers. The students who came out of the Baoding Military Academy were basically future generals.
Wang Tianpei was only a battalion commander in the Protectorate War, but he led a battalion and defeated a brigade of the enemy. After becoming the commander of the regiment, he annihilated a brigade of rebels with the strength of a regiment.
After Hongjiang took the oath, Wang Tianpei became the commander of the Tenth Army. In the Northern Expedition, Wang Tianpeilianke, Han Caifeng and Shen Hongying, led the army under their command to sweep across Hunan and Hubei.
When he waved his troops in Jiangxi, Anhui and Suzhou, Wang Tianpei already had nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command. In less than a month, Wang Tianpei took Ganwansu and prepared to point his sword at Xuzhou.
However, with the increasing number of people and horses, Wang Tianpei also encountered difficulties, that is, it was difficult to raise grain and grass. At this time, Lao Jiang took Wang Tianpei under his command on the condition of providing grain and grass.
After Wang Tianpei came under Lao Jiang, Lao Jiang sent him to attack Xuzhou. Wang Tianpei did not have heavy weapons in his hands, but he still conquered Xuzhou in two days.
Many of Wang Tianpei's classmates are guarding the city in various places. As soon as everyone saw Wang Tianpei's sweeping world, they all opened the door to welcome Wang Tianpei into the door.
Seeing this, Lao Jiang felt a sense of crisis in his heart. He felt that Wang Tianpei had too many people and would threaten his position at any time, so he stopped giving Wang Tianpei grain and grass.
Not only that, Lao Jiang saw that the Northern Expedition was about to be won, and he moved his dictatorial mind again. While purging the Kuomintang members of our party, he demanded that Wang Tianpei hunt down our party and kill our party members in his army.
Wang Tianpei was extremely angry at Lao Jiang's request. He denounced Lao Jiang and Wang Jingwei, scolded them for vain attempts to split the country, and said that they were sinners of the country.
How could a person with such small eyes as old Jiang Xin's eyes let Wang Tianpei go so easily? However, Wang Tianpei has a tenth army, and Lao Jiang can't help him at all.
Because of Lao Jiang's various behaviors, the Beiyang government had the courage to make a comeback. Xuzhou, which Wang Tianpei had just captured, fell into the hands of the Beiyang government again.
In order to improve his prestige, Lao Jiang personally led his troops to attack Xuzhou. Who knew that not only did not defeat Xuzhou, but the veteran suffered a big defeat.
It was this defeat that caused Chiang Kai-shek's prestige in the party to plummet. In order to maintain his prestige, Lao Jiang put all the results of the defeat in Xuzhou on Wang Tianpei.
After the outbreak of the Nanchang Uprising, Lao Chiang was completely in a desperate situation. On the one hand, it was the uprising of our party, and on the other hand, the counteroffensive of the Beiyang government, Lao Jiang detained Wang Tianpei, but he couldn't wash himself away at all.
In August 1927, Lao Jiang, who was persecuted by Li Bai and his henchman He Yingqin, was forced to declare his resignation. In order to vent his anger, Lao Jiang sent people to assassinate Wang Tianpei, who was imprisoned in Hangzhou.
Oppose Lao Chiang and cause him to be killed
If Wang Tianpei was assassinated by Lao Jiang because he became Lao Jiang's punching bag, then these two people were killed by Lao Jiang because they opposed Lao Jiang.
The two people who opposed Lao Jiang's murder were Deng Yanda and Chen Yi. To say that Deng Yanda was arrested by Lao Jiang and then secretly executed, Chen Yi's death was because of Tang Enbo.
As Lao Jiang's confidant and favorite general, Tang Enbo also has an identity, that is, Chen Yi's son-in-law. If you want to say that Tang Enbo can become Lao Jiang's confidant, Chen Yi has helped a lot in it.
When Tang Enbo went to study in Japan, he met Chen Yi's righteous queen Jingbai. After getting along, Tang Enbo fell in love with Wang Jingbai and proposed to Wang Jingbai.
Wang Jingbai returned to China to ask his family for advice, and Chen Yi asked to see Tang Enbo. It just so happened that Tang Enbo dropped out of school because he had no money to pay the tuition fees and had to return to China to raise money.
When Chen Yi saw Tang Enbo, she felt that this young man was very heroic with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he would definitely be very promising in the future. Even when he learned that Tang Enbo had married a wife before, Chen Yi didn't say much, just let him divorce.
After Tang Enbo's divorce, he successfully married Wang Jingbai and became Chen Yi's son-in-law. Chen Yi sent Tang Enbo to study at the Japan Army Noncommissioned Officer School, and after Tang Enbo graduated, he served as a major staff officer in his own unit.
Chen Yi and Lao Jiang were fellow villagers and classmates, and under Chen Yi's recommendation, Lao Jiang began to reuse Tang Enbo, and Tang Enbo began to green the road.
In the War of Liberation, Tang Enbo was held accountable by Lao Chiang for his repeated defeats and was removed from all positions. It was Chen Yi who moved around for him that allowed him to be reinstated within two months.
However, after that, Tang Enbo always belittled and scolded Lao Jiang in front of Chen Yi. He also said that if my party could forgive him for his past, he could lead an army to revolt.
After listening to Tang Enbo's words, Chen Yi, who had already been in contact with our party, decided to pull his son-in-law. He told him about his decision to revolt and invited him to discuss the plan.
Unexpectedly, Tang Enbo turned his head and sold Chen Yi and chose to be loyal to Lao Jiang. Chen Yi didn't wait for Tang Enbo, only waited for the person who arrested him.
Later, Chen Yi was imprisoned, and he resolutely did not believe that it was Tang Enbo who betrayed him. After He Yingqin learned about this, he said that Chen Yi was confused, and he still believed Tang Enbo.
Because Chen Yi refused to bow to Lao Jiang, he was secretly executed by Lao Jiang. After Chen Yi's death, Tang Enbo not only didn't feel that he had done wrong, but also thought that he had done a good thing.
Unlike Chen Yi, who was stabbed in the back by Tang Enbo, Deng Yanda opposed Lao Jiang from the beginning. Chen Yi decided to revolt and join our party after seeing that Lao Jiang was weak.
But Deng Yanda was clearly against Lao Jiang from the beginning. Deng Yanda joined the Kuomintang because he admired Sun Yat-sen.
When the Whampoa Military Academy was established, Lao Jiang was the principal, Premier Zhou was the director of the Political Department, and Deng Yanda was the director of education. It can be said that Deng Yanda's status in Huangpu is second only to Lao Jiang's existence.
And Deng Yanda and Lao Jiang's personalities are completely different, Deng Yanda is gentle and polite, and rarely has bad relations with others. However, Lao Jiang was afraid that Deng Yanda would threaten him, so he expelled Deng Yanda out of the country.
After Deng Yanda went abroad, Lao Jiang began his own rapid seizure of power. By the time Deng Yanda came back, the Kuomintang had basically replaced Lao Chiang's people.
After all, Deng Yanda worked with Lao Jiang before, and he couldn't bear to see Lao Jiang go against Sun Yat-sen's Three People's Principles. So Deng Yanda decided to be a minister and let Lao Jiang not take the wrong path.
At that time, Lao Jiang had not yet gathered all his power, and he still had superficial respect for Deng Yanda and other leftist veterans. It's just that no matter what Deng Yanda says, Lao Jiang just listens.
When the old Chiang was in power, he no longer cared about these leftist elders and began his own dictatorship. In particular, he wanted to move the capital to Nanjing, and he was even more suspected of malicious separatism.
But at this time, Lao Chiang was in control of the army, and few people in the party dared to tell the truth. Deng Yanda was not afraid, and at a meeting, he directly exposed Lao Jiang's wolf ambitions.
He denounced Lao Chiang for violating the Three People's Principles and splitting the policies of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and for wanting to establish a dictatorship. Deng Yanda's word by word, the scolded old Jiang's face was extremely ugly.
Lao Jiang's face was ugly, and the faces of the others at the meeting were not very good-looking. After all, most of the participants were Lao Jiang's henchmen, and Deng Yanda slapped Lao Jiang in the face, but he slapped all of them in the face.
After the meeting, Deng Yanda also criticized Lao Jiang in the newspaper and united with the students of Whampoa to carry out anti-Chiang activities. Deng Yanda's behavior angered Lao Jiang, and after being caught by Lao Jiang, Lao Jiang executed Deng Yanda.
Why did Lao Jiang go into the wild three times
How could a person like Lao Jiang, who was eager to concentrate all the power in his own hands, have the experience of going into the wild three times?
Lao Jiang's abdication was naturally not voluntary. At the beginning, Lao Chiang thought that by expelling our party, he would be able to completely control the Kuomintang in his own hands.
But he couldn't fight the war himself, and lost most of the land recovered by the Northern Expedition, and was once beaten to the bank of the Yangtze River by the Beiyang government. At this time, Lao Jiang's position had been shaken, and it was Li Zongren and He Yingqin who dealt him the fatal blow.
Li Bai, who had long been at odds with Lao Jiang, and He Yingqin, who had no confidence in Lao Jiang, worked together to pull Lao Jiang down from that high position.
Not long after Lao Chiang went into the field for the first time, Li Zongren was unable to control the Kuomintang at all, so he invited Lao Chiang back again.
Lao Chiang's second visit to the field was because he was obsessed with encircling and suppressing our party and did nothing in the face of the "September · 18" incident. The Kuomintang generals, represented by Sun Ke, were enraged by Lao Chiang's detention of Hu Hanmin and demanded that Lao Chiang go into the wilderness.
Of course, Lao Chiang's second descent into the field did not last long. Because the Kuomintang at this time was basically in the hands of Lao Chiang.
Even if the old Jiang Xia Ye Sun Ke came to power, Sun Ke would not be able to command any organization. In desperation, he could only let Lao Jiang return to office.
Lao Chiang's third descent was at the end of the Liberation War. Because of the poor performance of Lao Chiang and his generals, he had to take responsibility and was forced to go into the wilderness.
In addition, in the United States presidential election, the candidate supported by Lao Chiang was defeated by Truman, and Lao Chiang lost United States support. Under various pressures, Lao Jiang went into the field for the third time.
And after going into the wild this time, Lao Jiang no longer had a chance to make a comeback. It was he who was suspicious and distrustful of everyone, and it was he who was stubborn and self-serving, and he harmed many innocent talents.
Although Lao Jiang always likes to shirk responsibility, the culprit who finally led to his defeat and retreat was actually himself.
