During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, many generals of the Nationalist Army would raise troops to resist Japan while making money from national hardships. But there are also people who are clean, such as General Guan Linzheng, who later became the commander-in-chief of the army. General Guan led the troops well, the military ability was quite strong, and he fought many hard battles with the Japanese army, and the combat style of the troops was very fierce. Even the Japanese army that had exchanged hands admired The Reward Linzheng, saying that he could stand up to ten others in one army, which showed how strong General Guan's ability to govern the army was.
However, although General Guan would lead the troops and make great contributions, his popularity was very poor in the Kuomintang. How bad is it, there are hundreds of people in Huangpu, and only one Zhang Yaoming is willing to make friends with him. Everyone else has more or less had a holiday. This was rare in the relations-oriented Kuomintang army. You know, the more meritorious a person is, the more widely related, the more friends there are. But General Guan came the other way around, and the more meritorious he became, the more he offended people and the more he had no friends.
The reason for this situation has something to do with General Guan's personality. General Guan is a straight man, and if he says anything, he will not go around the bend. This can be seen in his early experiences.
In 1929, because of his strong ability to lead troops, Guan Linzheng, who was only 24 years old, was promoted to deputy commander of the new 5th Division of the National Revolutionary Army. At that time, the commander of the New 5th Division was Liu Ying. Liu Ying's background has a history, and Li Jicai, a shaanxi revolutionary, was once his superior. The quality of the new 5th Division's soldiers is low, and most of the troops are green forest knifemen on the ground in Shaanxi, and these good men who are accustomed to being accustomed to it do not pay attention to military discipline at all, and once they do not agree, they will mutiny.
Sooner or later, if the recruit disobeys discipline, something will happen. Not long after Guan Linzheng was appointed deputy division commander, the two regiments of the New 5th Division actually took advantage of the opportunity of the division commander Liu Ying to go to Nanjing for official business. At this time, General Guan temporarily acted as the commander of the division, and seeing so many people going up the mountain to become bandits, he felt that there was something inside.
He sent someone to inquire, and it turned out that Master Liu Ying was dissatisfied, saying that he was acting unfairly. Gong Bingfan, the leader of the defecting regiment, said to Guan Linzheng, "We don't want to mix with Liu Ying, if you can make me the brigade commander, I promise to take the whole regiment down the mountain, and I also support you as the commander of the division."
Such a good thing, if someone else had agreed to it, but Guan Linzheng was not that kind of person, he did not agree to the request of the defecting regiment leader. Gong Bingfan saw that Guan Linzheng did not take a stance, and knowing that there was no drama here, he bypassed him and directly contacted his superiors. The superiors knew the seriousness of the matter, and if they made a big fuss, there was a danger of dereliction of duty, so they agreed to the request of Gong Bingfan and promoted him to brigade commander. The mutiny was quelled.
The regimental commander of his regiment fulfilled his wishes, but Liu Ying, who was the commander of the division, was unlucky, because he had no way to govern the army, he was dismissed from his post, and Guan Linzheng was appointed as the commander of the main division. At this point, General Guan could be placed in the anger of the whole division. Many people in the army were Liu Ying's cronies, and everyone thought that they were ghosts of Guan Linzheng in order to seize power in order to drive Out Liu Ying.
As a brigade commander, Gong Bingfan was also not optimistic about Guan Linzheng, believing that his city government was deep, and he had too many flowers and intestines, and he was not sure how to clean up after himself. For a time, Guan Lin became the public enemy of the whole division. Everyone was in order, openly and covertly, embarrassing him everywhere.
In the face of such a situation, Guan Linzheng did not compromise at all, directly stated his attitude, did not do it, and left.
Guan Linzheng not only can't handle the relationship between the same level, but also does not save face in the treatment of subordinates. Du Yuming was a famous anti-Japanese general and also served as a brigade commander under him. Later, because of his meritorious service in battle, Du Yuming was promoted to deputy commander of the 25th Division. At this time, Guan Linzheng, who was the commander of the division, felt a crisis and believed that Du had the intention of seizing power, so he suppressed him everywhere.
In fact, Guan Linzheng was worried a lot, And Du Yuming only wanted to lead the troops well, he was a well-known old and good man of the Kuomintang, and he rarely fought with people for power and profit. He did not strive for merit and did not embezzle, which can be said to be a rare upright person in the Kuomintang army. Du Yu's Meiji army was strict, but Guan Linzheng often intervened. Du wanted the soldiers to train for 4 hours a day, and Guan Linzheng had to speak for 2 hours. Du asked the soldiers to run 20 miles, and Guan Linzheng ran half less. In order to elevate Du Yuming, Guan Linzheng also greeted the brigade commander below, and he had to decide the big and small affairs of the whole division.
Seeing that Commander Guan treated himself in this way, Du Yuming was deeply disappointed, and he asked Xu Tingyao to spit bitter water and let the old commander think of a way. Xu had more or less heard of it, and he was not accustomed to Guan Linzheng's approach, so he came up with the idea of letting Du Zi demote himself to the newly established chariot regiment as the leader of the regiment. Du immediately agreed, and then went to take up the position of colonel of the Chariot Regiment. Guan Linzheng's goal was achieved, but it also offended this famous anti-Japanese general.
In addition to the famous anti-Japanese generals, Guan Linzheng also had a festival with long yun, a local power faction. In the later period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, in order to control Yunnan, Chiang Kai-shek appointed Guan as the commander of the Yunnan Garrison Department in Yunnan, and secretly instructed him to find an opportunity to eliminate Longyun's forces. Unfortunately, Chiang Kai-shek used the wrong person, and Guan Linzheng had a set of rules for fighting, but he was not good at playing tricks. He actually commanded his troops to rush to the city of Kunming in front of the king of Yunnan.
Long Yun saw that this was still going to happen, and his hometown was about to be occupied, so he hurriedly dispatched the main force of the Dian Army into the city, and set up machine guns and cannons to aim at the Central Army. When Chiang Kai-shek saw that the situation was not good, don't provoke Long Yun, if he didn't want to go to the Japanese, he quickly sent someone to talk about peace.
Long Yun said strongly that it was okay to talk about peace, but Guan Linzheng must withdraw his troops 20 miles away from Kunming City, and was not allowed to enter the city without his permission. Guan Linzheng failed to complete the task entrusted to him by Chiang Kai-shek, and offended the king of Yunnan, which can be said to have suffered losses inside and outside.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Guan Linzheng was promoted to commander-in-chief of the army. Although his reputation was outstanding, Chiang Kai-shek did not give him real power, for fear that he would support the army and respect himself. Besides, his relationship with Chen Cheng was not good, and Chiang Kai-shek was even more uneasy about him. The Kuomintang lost the civil war and retreated to Taiwan. When Guan Linzheng heard that most of Chen Cheng's troops had withdrawn from Taiwan, he immediately changed his original decision not to follow Chiang Kai-shek in Taiwan, but chose to go to Hong Kong.
The main reason why he did not follow Chiang Kai-shek was that he considered that he would suffer chen cheng's difficulties everywhere in Taiwan. Guan Linzheng and Chen Cheng had two festivals. In 1928, Chen Cheng, who was then the deputy commander of the 11th Division, wanted to be the commander of the division, which was also what Chiang Kai-shek wanted. However, Guan Linzheng, who was the commander of the regiment, did not understand politics, and made it clear that the division commander Cao Wanshun was capable and the deputy division commander Chen Cheng was not qualified at all. This annoyed Chen Cheng, and since then, Chen has not waited to see Guan.
Another holiday was in 1943 when Chen Cheng's concubine 54th Army wanted to change its commander, and Chen Cheng personally spoke to Guan Linzheng to fight less than the 54th Army. Who knew that Guan Linzheng taunted Chen Cheng's stinginess in person, saying that he was reluctant to let others be a commander, and that he could not do a big thing if his heart was too small. These words made Chen Cheng angry and made a stomach problem on the spot. Since then, Chen Cheng has hated Guan Linzheng even more.
