Han Feizi once wrote in Han Feizi Yu Lao: The of a thousand zhangs collapses with the nest of ants, and the room of a hundred feet burns with the smoke of the gap.
Modern China is in a transitional period of transformation from a feudal society to a socialist society. During this period, there was not only foreign aggression, but also internal strife. External troubles are the annexation of the country, and internal troubles are partisan and social disputes. Since the Republic of China, the frequency of Guangdong's emergence has increased significantly, as the center of the revolution, Guangdong is also the place where the National Government was first established, this place has witnessed the development of history, the emergence and disillusionment of influential figures, and the change of power.
Today we are going to talk about a very controversial figure - Chen Jiongming. Whether in the National Government or when our Party was in power, Chen Jiongming existed under the influence of villains, but if you think about it carefully, this is not all the case. In this regard, let's take a closer look at this figure, why did he occupy Guangdong for many years, but he fell into poverty? What happened to his son after his death?

Born in Haifeng, Guangdong in 1878, Chen Jiongming was one of the important representatives of the Cantonese warlords during the Republic of China period, and from the beginning of the Xinhai Revolution in 1911 from Guangzhou until he was forced to step down in 1923, he ruled Guangdong for 12 years, hence the name "King of Guangdong".
Chen Jiongming, who received an old-fashioned education in his youth, was a talent in the examination. However, the times were not good, and the rule of the Qing government gradually tended to decline. After accepting the new ideas and revolutionary ideas, he resolutely participated in the League, and even in the subsequent Xinhai Revolution and the famous Huanghuagang Uprising, he was seen. Some time after the founding of the Republic of China, Chen Jiongming was appointed under Dr. Sun Yat-sen. That is the case, but Chen Jiongming's thinking is very different from that of Dr. Sun Yat-sen.
According to the ideas of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, a unified state was established. However, Chen Jiongming is very opposed to the presidential election, and advocates doing a good job of democratic constitutionalism modeled on the federal system of the United States and European and American democracies, and under this rule, the country tends to peaceful reunification.
The two men's documents were inappropriate, and they parted ways after an important reason. However, the last straw that crushed the camel was Chen Jiongming's close confidant, Deng Hao. His death wiped out the already fragile relationship between the two. Soon after, Chen Jiongming was deposed.
Dr. Sun Yat-sen once wanted the north and south to form a pinch attack and start the northern expedition, but the Zhifeng War broke out, the Feng army was defeated and retreated, and although the north was defeated, the northern expedition in the south had to be carried out. In the matter of demolishing the bridge, the Guangdong army was divided internally, and Chen Jiongming did not accept the invitation of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, but had the intention of building his own army and becoming his own.
In 1924, under the guidance of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the Whampoa Military Academy was established, and the following year, the students of the military academy were organized to participate in the Crusade to fight against Chen Jiongming's army and rule. Due to Chen Jiongming's, the army was weak, and after two crusades, his army was destroyed. He then announced his resignation and took refuge in Hong Kong.

It has to be said that Chen Jiongming is a very controversial figure. For the National Government, he was a rebel force in the National Government, and for our Party he was an army force that blocked the reunification of the motherland.
However, a careful examination of the comments made by people at that time shows that Chen Jiongming is a man of firmness and courage, and can also be called a moral model. Sun Yat-sen even spoke highly of his private life, not a good woman, a simple life, hard-working, And Ruye. After the restoration of Guangdong in the Xinhai Revolution, he served as the deputy governor of Guangdong and was called the governor of Guangdong Province.
As we all know, as a high-ranking official, it is still relatively easy to seek money privately. But what is surprising is that during his 12 years at the helm of Guangdong, he did not collect money and turn it into his own private property. In ancient times, Tao Yuanming did not bend his waist for five buckets of rice, and now there is Chen Jiongming who does not abandon his national integrity for money.
Chen Jiongming has very little private property, both the army needs rewards and his family needs to be supported, and he has also become a person who needs to worry about money. In the face of the threats and inducements of the invaders, he never abandoned his national integrity, strengthened the unity of his family and country, and was not oppressed by foreigners.
In addition to managing his own money, he also explicitly banned gambling. In his few historical records, he is known for his policy of strictly prohibiting tobacco gambling. During the Qing government, gambling taxes were regarded as an important source of fiscal revenue, and it is conceivable that gambling taxes can bring great income. However, Chen Jiongming explicitly banned it and cut off an important source of income for the government. In his view, gambling is a vice that makes people addicted to it, and makes people, affairs and even countries wasted.
Since the ban on gambling was issued, Guangdong gambling has been cleared, and Chen Jiuming's seat has been praised by the academic community. It is precisely because of these deeds of Chen Jiongming that he has very little private property, and even after fleeing to Hong Kong, he died of poverty and illness. After his death, there was no "coffin book" but was buried by his mother.

Although Chen Jiongming is politically controversial, he is very strict in his private life and often prides himself on not being seduced. Although part of the old system in China was abolished and reformed during the Republic of China period, polygamy was still there. Until the founding of new China, a law was promulgated to declare the implementation of monogamy.
Chen Jiongming did not have three wives and four concubines like other warlord leaders, surrounded by pet concubines. He married only one lady in his lifetime, and accompanied one person for life. Chen Jiongming met the teacher's daughter Huang Yun when he was studying, and in the process of learning, the two gradually got to know each other deeply and became fond of each other.
In 1899, Chen Jiongming married his wife Huang Yun, and after marriage, he regarded his wife as a treasure, and the two loved each other and got along harmoniously throughout their lives. After the two married, in the next few years, Ms. Huang Yun gave birth to five daughters for Chen Jiongming, and even Chen Jiongming still had no sons at a long age.
In this case, many people persuaded Chen Jiongming to marry a concubine for his succession. But Chen Jiongming did not accept it, vowing that he would have only one wife in this life. After that, the two had three sons, namely Chen Dingxia, Chen Dingyan and the younger son Chen Dingbing.
The bad news of Chen Jiongming's death in Hong Kong came, and the 3 sons rushed to go, unfortunately, his eldest son contracted an illness on the way back to Hong Kong and died soon after. The second son, Chen Dingyan, is a major in aviation machinery, who studied at Harvard and taught at many universities in the United States, and after reading history, found that his father had no good name, and devoted himself to his father's "overturning" in his later years. The younger son, Chen Dingbing, is relatively low-key and has not recorded too much, but his name is taken by the name of the patriotic scholar Zhang Taiyan.
