In Fujian Wai Village, The Northeast Corner of Liling City, Hunan Province, there is an old house called Taro Garden, which is a traditional brick and wood structure bungalow with white walls and green tiles, a total of 32 large and small houses, and the central position is a patio, which is basically symmetrical before and after the left and right. After the front hall through the patio is the main hall house, the two sides of the south hengtang house have a symmetrical four rooms, the north horizontal house and the north side room are now the exhibition room, divided into five exhibition rooms, displaying more than 200 objects, photos, text materials, etc., there is a bedroom in the former residence, which is written on the former residence of Jiang Xianyun and Li Qixin.
You may ask why this former residence, called "Li Lisan's Former Residence", has the residence of Jiang Xianyun, who is known as the "Huangpu Wizard".
It turned out that Jiang Xianyun's wife, Li Qixin, was Li Li's three siblings, graduated from the Hengyang Female Third Division, engaged in women's sports and teaching, very beautiful, husband and wife love, unfortunately, due to overwork, Xianyun died in Wuchang in 1927, childless.
Jiang Xianyun, also known as Xiangyun, nicknamed Wushan, was born on July 14, 1902 in Dapingtang Village, Xintian County, Hunan Province. His father, Jiang Jikun, was a talented man at the end of the Qing Dynasty, loyal and upright; his mother, Xiao Yuxiu, known as "Bigfoot Woman", was simple and industrious, not bound by feudal etiquette, and had a cheerful temperament and good popularity. Jiang Xianyun has eight brothers and sisters, Xianyun is the youngest, five brothers, and two sisters. The eldest brother Martyr was Dr. Sun Yat-sen's right-hand man, anti-Yuan Yishi, and heroic sacrifice.
Later, due to the poverty of his father's family, he began to follow his mother to herd cattle, collect firewood, and hunt pig grass at a very young age... Experienced the hardships of life. When he was 11 years old, his mother borrowed money from relatives and friends and sent him to the village's Baohe Elementary School to study. He knows that tuition is not easy to come by, so he studied hard, coupled with his quick thinking, and achieved excellent results in all subjects. The teachers thought that he was "endowed with intelligence" and was deeply valued, and when the 4-year academic period expired, he crossed the high school and directly applied for the Hunan Provincial Third Normal School in Hengyang, and as a result, he got his wish and was admitted by the Third Division.
In the third division, once the teacher used the word "month" as the title and asked the students to make sentences and pairs. Jiang Xianyun thought of the decline of social corruption at that time and people's yearning for a new life, and wrote down 16 words with a stroke of his pen: "The moon is slanting westward, spreading in the world; the sun rises in the east, and the earth is red everywhere." When the Chinese teacher looked at it, he was full of admiration and immediately commented: "Allegory in the scene, allegory in the scene, profound meaning, detachment from abnormality." Circulated. During this period, he joined the party, was sent to Anyuan by the party organization, and engaged in the workers' movement with Li Lisan and others, and won a huge victory in the strike struggle.
In the side-by-side battle, Li Lisan, in view of Jiang Xianyun's superior talent, outstanding talent, and heroic appearance, specially introduced him to his sister Li Qixin, hoping that they would fly with both wings, and Jiang Xianyun and Li Qi would be happy to have a good relationship.
In the spring of 1924, the first phase of the Huangpu Military Academy began to enroll, attracting a large number of aspiring young people across the country to enthusiastically register, through the organization of jiang Xianyun to apply for the Whampoa Military Academy, the examination requirements were very strict, the applicants had to go through the initial examination, re-examination, and general examination, first in 19 provinces and autonomous regions of the country to conduct the initial examination for enrollment, and then to Shanghai, Chongqing and other cities for a large-scale re-examination, after passing the general examination in Guangzhou. The general examination includes Chinese language, mathematics, history, geography and other subjects, among more than 1200 candidates, Jiang Xianyun ranked first.
What is amazing is that from the beginning of admission to the graduation examination, Jiang Xianyun won the first place in all subjects, which not only created a miracle of "no one coming later" in the history of the Whampoa Military Academy, but also very rare in the history of Chinese and foreign military schools. In today's words, he is an authentic Whampoa scholar. Liao Zhongkai marveled that he was "the most capable talent in the military academy" Chiang Kai-shek once said: "In the future, after the success of the revolution, chiang kai-shek will be disarmed and returned to the field, and these dragon and tiger men of the Huangpu Military Academy can only be commanded by Jiang Xianyun." ”
After graduating from the Whampoa Military Academy, Jiang Xianyun was selected by Chiang Kai-shek as his personal secretary, and "Xiao Jiang" accompanied "Old Chiang" to participate in the First Crusade and was wounded twice, especially in Guangzhou to quell the "Yang Liu" rebellion, he single-handedly led a company to rush into the city center, occupied the general headquarters of the Dian Army, and made a miracle. During the Second Crusade, Jiang Xianyun served as a party representative of the 7th Regiment of the 3rd Division of the 1st Army, and in the case of three wounds, he personally led the death squad to capture the city of Huizhou, which had never been conquered in history.
After the Northern Expedition began, Jiang Xianyun served as the confidential secretary of the General Headquarters of the Northern Expeditionary Army, "the Northern Expedition issued a message, more than his hand", and was appointed as the commander of the Supplementary Fifth Regiment, awarded the rank of major general of the army, and transferred to Guangdong, Hunan Province, Gansu, and Hubei. At the time of the victory of the Northern Expedition, the divisions within the revolutionary camp had reached publicity, and after Chiang Kai-shek created the "Zhongshan Ship Incident" and the April 12 coup, Chiang Xianyun saw the true face of Chiang Kai-shek and strongly condemned Chiang Kai-shek's despicable behavior. A denunciation rally was held at the Wuchang Parade Square, where Jiang Xianyun and others took the stage to give speeches recounting Chiang Kai-shek's various anti-communist and counter-revolutionary crimes. The meeting also adopted such proclamations as "Anti-Chiang Kai-shek Propaganda Outline" and "Letter to All Students in Each Issue of the Whampoa Military Academy", published the "Special Issue of Discussing Chiang Kai-shek", and shouted: "Former principal, today's school thief!" "If Jiang Thief is not removed, there will be no day in the world!"
After that, Jiang Xianyun served as a member of the Supervisory Committee of the Huangpu Students' Committee for Seeking Chiang Kai-shek in various periods, and waged an indomitable struggle against Chiang Kai-shek. In the face of thousands of accusations and scorn from the masses, how could Chiang Kai-shek give up? After some thought and thought, he came up with a unique divisive plan: from the many photos of him and Jiang Xianyun, he carefully selected a few that appeared to be the most intimate and let people publish them in the newspaper, in an attempt to cut off his back road and force him to attach himself.
This loss trick really worked: many people saw that the second Jiang in the photo was intimate and began to talk about it. Some say: Jiang Xianyun used to defect to Chiang Kai-shek in order to get rich, and he disguised the revolution; some said: Jiang Xianyun's loyalty to the revolution is false, and ungratefulness is true... Zhang Guotao, in particular, shouted that he could not believe Jiang Xianyun, and even said to people, "If he does not want to go to Chiang Kai-shek, I am not surnamed Zhang." Zhang Guotao also specially sent someone to examine Jiang Xianyun, which made Jiang Xianyun, who was born with a straight nature, feel aggrieved and cold. Although he repeatedly explained and defended himself to the organization and some strange people, to no avail, he fell into pain from then on.
During this period, Jiang Xianyun's wife Li Qixin died of illness at the Wuchang Red Cross Hospital, at the age of 21. For Jiang Xianyun, this is nothing less than worse! In the face of the people's incomprehension, the road ahead is slim, Jiang Xianyun deeply lamented himself, coupled with the death of his wife Li Qixin, the pain in his heart was not told, and there was nothing more desolate in life than this, so he prayed to die to mingzhi. He took the initiative to ask for the Northern Expedition, hoping to dispel this mentality on the battlefield.
In late May 1927, as a major general, Jiang Xianyun, as the commander, was supposed to command in the rear, but he rode a white horse to take the lead, and fought fiercely with several times the Feng army in Linying, Henan, when the enemy was outnumbered and the battlefield situation was extremely unfavorable to the Northern Expeditionary Army. Jiang Xianyun saw the situation and took the initiative to demand that he attack from the right wing. Subsequently, he led the whole regiment of soldiers to march in a hurry, rushed to the town of Runaway overnight, and made combat arrangements to the battalion commanders.
Jiang Xianyun then took the lead and flew to the enemy position on horseback. Unfortunately, he was wounded three times in succession in successive days of artillery fire: the first time, he was shot in the left foot, he crossed his horse with a wound, raised his saber in his hand, and led the charge; the second time, the cannon wounded his horse, and the man fell to the ground, he got up and fought again, and shouted "Charge!" charge! Kill Forward! "The third time, the shrapnel exploded the belt, penetrated the abdominal cavity, and bled unceasingly, but still shouted to pursue the enemy! ...... By the time his subordinates came to the rescue, he was out of breath! Heroically sacrificed at the age of 25. After Jiang Xianyun's death, the Nationalist government posthumously awarded him the rank of lieutenant general.
Later generations praised: Jiang Xianyun, who was jealous of talent, and whose character and talent were all the best choices, actually had to drink blood and sand early and could not express his ambitions, which was really a pity, otherwise, if he stayed in the green mountains, he would meet in the clouds and clouds, why would he no longer build a great cause, become Huangpu and even the Great Wall of China? pity!
