As the saying goes, a thousand armies are easy to get, one will be difficult to seek, since ancient times, those who have become great things must have talents to help, Liu Xiu Zaixing Yanhan has yuntai twenty-eight generals, Li Shimin to build the Sheng Tang also has LingYange twenty-four heroes to help.
However, where there are people, there are fights, not to mention the many fierce generals with outstanding abilities and different personalities, so how to reconcile yin and yang and stabilize the overall situation has become an imperial heart technique that all rulers have to cultivate.
If the rulers have the ability, the unity of oneness, and the concerted efforts to maximize the power of all people, then it is enough to achieve a prosperous era. However, if the ruler is weak, the hero is highly powerful, or even jealous of the virtuous and dedicated party, it is very likely that the people will rebel and leave.
The king chooses the subject, and the subject also chooses the king. In the Nationalist government under Chiang Kai-shek's rule, when his first confidant Chen Cheng died of liver cancer, he had secretly ridiculed Chiang Kai-shek's special Zhejiang people, but Chiang Kai-shek was also very depressed: I have bitter feelings.
Money fellows are indispensable
In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek and Yu Qiaqing, a representative of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortiums, met from Nanchang to discuss counter-revolutionary matters such as how to eliminate dissidents and betray the revolution. You must know that the National Government without economic support is, after all, a local struggle for power, recruiting soldiers and horses, and appeasing talents. Chiang Kai-shek, who worked hard to get rich, finally won the favor of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortiums.
At that time, the scope of operation of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortiums and the huge accumulation of wealth were staggering, and Chiang Kai-shek was precisely aware of the financial resources of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortiums that he came to the door. It just so happened that the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortiums also needed Chiang Kai-shek's political protection, and the two began to cooperate.
In the follow-up chiang kai-shek's actions, most of the chaebols in Jiangsu and Zhejiang helped, and Rong Zongjing, the king of cotton yarn at that time, even said: "I have as much money as I want, and I will give as much as I want", and it is no wonder that in the end Chiang Kai-shek was able to establish the National Government in Nanjing.
Chiang Kai-shek, who was supported, naturally returned the favor, and soon the big figures in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium all had their own official status, and gradually, there were more and more Zhejiang people in the Kuomintang, and more and more fellow villagers came to visit.
You must know that Chiang Kai-shek himself is a native of Zhejiang, and he will naturally have a good feeling for his fellow countrymen. Later, after the Kuomintang gradually matured, many high-ranking officials came from Zhejiang, such as: Dai Kasa, Chen Bray, Mao Renfeng, Chen Guofu Chen Lifu, two brothers, Hu Zongnan, Chen Cheng, Tang Enbo, Jiang Dingwen and so on.
There were generals from the front, there were also principals of secret services, and there were officials in charge of finances. In this series of large departments, there are Zhejiang compatriots.
The ability is acceptable, and the introduction of each other is
In addition to the relationship between money and fellow villagers, Zhejiang's talent is also the key. Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, a large amount of silver has poured into Zhejiang, and Zhejiang's economy has grown by leaps and bounds. What's more, as a place where businessmen have emerged, Zhejiang's ability to accept and learn from foreign things will be stronger, and there are many talents.
From 1935 to 1936, the number of Kuomintang in Zhejiang Province even exceeded that of Jiangsu Province, the political center at that time, so Chiang Kai-shek used more Zhejiang people and had a part of the social foundation.
What's more, the number of Zhejiang people enrolled in the Whampoa Military Academy is very large, and Chiang Kai-shek, as the "principal," will naturally have more preferences for students. According to incomplete statistics, there are 706 students in the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy and 44 students from Zhejiang. There are 453 students in the second phase, and 68 students from Zhejiang. There are 1297 people in the third phase, and 180 people from Zhejiang.
In addition to ability, the introduction of fellow villagers is also a top priority. Chiang Kai-shek reused Zhejiang people as leaders, and these leaders also preferred to recommend people with hometown friendship.
At that time, there were many Zhejiang people in Chiang Kai-shek's attendant room, and some people thought that it was because the leader of the attendant room was a Zhejiang person, but the more important reason was because Chiang Kai-shek had a very heavy accent, and the close attendants who were also Zhejiang people could better understand Chiang Kai-shek's instructions.
What is particularly special is that Chiang Kai-shek's guard system is almost entirely jiangsu and Zhejiang, which is a team that is completely loyal to Chiang Kai-shek, and under the subtlety of a long time, Chiang Kai-shek will naturally be more inclined to the familiar Zhejiang people.
The general trend has been achieved, and it is difficult to return to heaven
After the formation of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang gangs, it is even more difficult to make changes on this basis. Chiang Kai-shek already had a special friendship with his fellow countrymen, and when the momentum of great difficulties took shape, it was difficult for him to make drastic changes to reform, which was determined by Chiang Kai-shek's character.
What's more, Chiang Kai-shek believed that loyalty was greater than ability, and he also firmly believed that his fellow Zhejiang would never betray him. In the later period, his trust in the people of Zhejiang exceeded that of the students of the Whampoa Military Academy.
Wu Guozhen once said: "He is mostly loyal to him personally, rather than according to their ability to select commanders, as long as a person is loyal to him, a little corrupt he does not care." ”
For example, Chiang Kai-shek's first confidant, Chen Cheng, was a Native of Qingtian and was appointed as a captain instructor in the Artillery Section of the Whampoa Military Academy in 1925. Later, he fought in the Southern Expedition and the Northern War, and became a major general at the age of 30.
Chiang Kai-shek admired this fellow countryman very much, and even made a matchmaker with Soong Mei-ling to let him marry the daughter of the Great Confucian of the Republic of China, who was the daughter of Chiang Kai-shek, so Chen Cheng became Chiang Kai-shek's dry son. As both a fellow countryman and a cadre, Chen Cheng naturally became Chiang Kai-shek's most important horn.
But even he was worried about Chiang Kai-shek's special Zhejiang people: in the long run, capable people would be dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek, and it was likely to cause a very bad impact!
On March 5, 1965, Chen Cheng, who was dying of liver cancer, left three last words, the second of which was to satirize Chiang Kai-shek's special Zhejiang people: "Don't be passive, there is no distinction between north and south, people do not distinguish between men, women, old and young, the military and the people of the whole country, the whole country, this suffering." ”
Chiang Kai-shek is very depressed, and he also has his grievances, but the Zhejiang gang has become a big trend, unable to return to heaven, in vain. What's more, after years of political habits, which one said to change it? With regret, Chen Cheng died of this illness.
brief summary:
The government established through various means, the talents and money that are co-opted, are still not as reliable as those based on the people's hearts. The human heart is the most terrible force in the world. Chiang Kai-shek went around looking for wealth and attracting talents, but in the end he was in a big difficulty, which seriously affected himself.
Our party, on the other hand, takes the people's hearts as the cornerstone, arouses the revolutionary flame and revolutionary consciousness in people's hearts, and actively mobilizes people's subjective initiative in order to seize the world and establish a new China with the people as the dominant position.
The reason for all this is because our party is people-oriented, while the Kuomintang is based on chaebols and groups. The creators of wealth are the people, and the users of wealth are also the people, and the vain pursuit of those who plunder the wealth of the people and fatten them is nothing more than giving up their roots. Only a revolutionary cause based on the people and based on the people can we win real victories!
