In 1936, in order to complete the "great cause of pursuit and suppression" and also strengthen the control of the Central Committee of Nanjing over the southwest region, Chiang Kai-shek took Song Meiling and Chen Cheng and other hearts down to Mount Emei, and also opened an officer training regiment at the bottom of the mountain.
At that time, it was early autumn, and the autumn wind and scenery on Mount Emei were endless, and even Chiang Kai-shek had the idea of climbing Mount Emei and taking a look at the golden peak of Buddha's light.
However, just after he went up the mountain, he encountered a series of strange things, such as what monkey king made concessions, the old monk calculated the future, etc., and the last explanation he listened to was the battle of the heart and the depressed.
What kind of story is there?
Chiang Kai-shek ascended Mount Emei
Eight palanquins, dozens of sedans, plus a dozen soldiers interspersed in the caravans, this is the configuration that accompanied Chiang Kai-shek on the mountain.
On Mount Emei, Zhong Lingjunxiu and strange mountains and stones are strange, and the autumn wind blows people in a comfortable mood, so although the journey is somewhat long, the mood of Chiang Kai-shek and others is still quite happy.
However, just when Chiang Kai-shek was immersed in the beautiful scenery of the mountain patrol, he only felt that the palanquin had stopped suddenly, and there was a sparse sound in his ears, and a thick black dot appeared in front of his eyes, and after a while he saw clearly that it was a monkey with teeth and claws.
"Is this almost the elephant washer?" The monkeys of Mount Emei are clever. ”
The elephant washing pond is a beautiful place on Mount Emei, and the most famous thing there is not the scenery, but a group of burly and fierce-looking "bandit monkeys".
Why are they called "bandit monkeys"?
As you should all know to a greater or lesser extent, monkeys are very clever, and some can even inadvertently take your stuff.
This group of monkeys on Mount Emei is different, they are more "arrogant", they will directly follow you, if you don't want it, you will directly grab it, just like the ancient roadblock bandits.
"Chen Cheng, give them some food."
As a veteran of the battlefield, Chiang Kai-shek is always accustomed to having three points of preparation for doing things, and before going up the mountain this time, he naturally prepared food in advance before he knew that he would have to deal with this group of "bandit monkeys".
In addition to the 7 palanquins where he was sitting, except for 4 sitting Song Meiling, Chen Brei, Zhang Qun and the monk Guoling, the other mountaintop shelves were filled with various melon and fruit foods, which can be said to be specially carried up to "bribe" these monkeys.
"Yes!"
Chen Cheng immediately began to distribute food to the monkeys with his entourage, and for a time he also relieved Chiang Kai-shek.
But just when Chiang Kai-shek thought that the matter would come to an end and the palanquin could continue to move forward, he did not expect that the number of monkeys on the mountain was far beyond their imagination, so in the end, when the food was finished, the monkeys actually surrounded them in the middle.
"Squeak!"
Only to see the monkeys spread out slightly, the little monkey retreated, and a particularly large monkey rushed forward, and within a few steps, he crossed over to Chiang Kai-shek's life, with his hands stretched forward slightly, as if he was begging chiang kai-shek.
Chiang Kai-shek somewhat unable to pull down his face, seeing that the big monkey is fierce, he is not easy to drive away, he can only force his scalp to let Chen Cheng throw out the cans, originally he wanted to get out of trouble, but he did not expect that those monkeys could not open after picking up the cans, and the impatient they rushed directly towards the crowd, and the monkeys scratched and scratched at them.
"Get them out!" fast! ”
Chiang Kai-shek, who was still able to force himself to be calm, can't sit still at this moment, this monkey doesn't care about your official position, your status is noble, and if you are in a hurry, it is a scratch, how can Chiang Kai-shek bear this crime?
But just when Chiang Kai-shek was still waiting for Chen Cheng and others to rescue him, he suddenly felt a chill on the top of his head, and it was the monkey who scratched off the hat on his head!
Chiang Kai-shek was about to rebuke everyone, but he did not expect that the Monkey King actually led the monkeys backwards, and when he was parting, he still stood upright and slightly waved at him, looking like a person, and Chiang Kai-shek who watched was stunned by everyone.
"The chairman of the committee is mighty! Monkeys also know to be afraid! ”
Seeing that the situation was fierce and auspicious, among the people on the spot, there was naturally no shortage of flattering villains, and directly rushing at Chiang Kai-shek was a tout.
Although Chiang Kai-shek knew in his heart that these were all lies, he did not debunk them, so he continued to rush to the mountain with doubts in his heart.
Walking to the temple on the mountain, the crowd happened to be an old monk, and Chiang Kai-shek spat out his doubts at him, and the old monk looked at such a huge group of people coming up, and then heard about Chiang Kai-shek's question, his face was quite calm, and he directly diverged from the topic.
"Lord, do you want to make a wish?"
Chiang Kai-shek looked puzzled, but he still nodded his head in agreement, but he did not expect that after the old monk's actions, he only said four words to him.
"Precarious!"
Chiang Kai-shek, who originally thought he could hear auspicious words, suddenly heard such "bad news" and trembled, and his voice asked with some pauses.
"Master, do you think my body is going to fail?"
The old monk shook his head and did not speak, turned around and walked back to the temple, while Chiang Kai-shek was no longer in the mood to play in the mountains and rivers, and in a depressed mood, he led everyone back to the palace.
At that time, he only thought that he had met a "high person", and after going back, he still carefully checked his body for a few points, and the final result was not a big problem, he only relaxed his mind, but what he did not expect was that this old monk was really "in a word".
The precarious Chiang Kai-shek
What kind of day was 1936 for chiang kai-shek?
Objectively speaking, it was a not very good turning point, because from this year onwards, his so-called policy of "foreign must first be at home" could no longer be carried out, and his original dream of using the Red Army to drive the major warlords to his command was also shattered, and even he himself once thought that he would die in Xi'an, and he could write a suicide note to his family and his subordinates.
Yes, on December 12, 1936, the Xi'an Incident broke out, and within a day Chiang Kai-shek had been reduced from chairman of the committee to a "prisoner of the order."
"Xueliang, if you still think that you are my student and subordinate, send me back to Nanjing."
After being detained by Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, Chiang Kai-shek was keenly aware of the difference in their attitude toward him, and Yang Hucheng was iron-hearted and wanted him to sign an agreement and issue a statement to indicate a joint war of resistance.
Zhang Xueliang is different, although he also has the heart to make Chiang Kai-shek unite with the Communist Party to resist Japan, but after all, Zhang Xueliang and Chiang Kai-shek, Song Meiling and other people are all world friends, and Zhang Xueliang's attitude is relatively "weak".
Fortunately, in the end, the anti-Japanese national united front was still built, and Chiang Kai-shek, who was full of anger, also successfully returned to Nanjing, first tricking Zhang Xueliang into writing a confession, directly convicting him in legal form, and then trying to empty Yang Hucheng and force him away from the army, which was relieved.
Although Chiang Kai-shek was reluctant to deplete his troops, as a member of the anti-Japanese national united front and a participant in the frontal battlefield of the anti-Japanese battlefield, he had to be forced to launch a series of battles with the Japanese army, such as the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Taiyuan.
On the frontal battlefield, Chiang Kai-shek has always fought while fleeing, adopted the strategy of "exchanging space for time," abandoned a large area of land, and won a certain amount of time for building troops and receiving international support, but in the frontal battle with the Japanese troops, the Kuomintang has never been able to occupy too much advantage, and after the Battle of Wuhan, the Kuomintang has lost the ability to fight with Japan on the frontal battlefield.
It is reasonable to say that the Kuomintang lost on the frontal battlefield, and the domestic situation at that time should have become more and more collapsed; fortunately, at that time the Communist Party of China had gradually stood up, and our Party's troops played a huge role in the battlefield behind enemy lines, not only greatly delaying the advance of the Japanese army, but also winning many local wars, giving confidence to the Chinese people.
As early as the first period of Kuomintang-Communist cooperation, he suddenly rebelled and launched the so-called white terror in order to completely eliminate the Communist Party in the bud and realize his dictatorial ambitions, and it was precisely because he had always adhered to this belief that he launched several encirclement and suppression wars and forced the Red Army to carry out a twenty-five-thousand-mile long march.
At that time, he did so resolutely that he could not extinguish the spark of communism, and this time the Communist Party continued to grow and develop, how could he not be worried?
In August 1945, when the War of Liberation was finally won, Chiang Kai-shek immediately sent three telegrams to the Yan'an area, asking Chairman Mao to go to Chongqing to negotiate with him and discuss the joint establishment of a new China.
At that time, he thought that Chairman Mao did not dare to come to this "Feast at the Great Gate" and tried in vain to use this as an excuse to start a civil war, but he did not expect that Chairman Mao would come not long after and bring a complete team to talk to him about the issue of peaceful nation-building.
At the time of the Chongqing negotiations, Chiang Kai-shek was also not honest, and once instigated Yan Xishan to attack the revolutionary base areas of our army, and although he was finally forced to sign a so-called "Double Tenth Agreement," Chiang Kai-shek, who wanted to eliminate the Communist Party from beginning to end, soon unilaterally tore up the agreement and launched a civil war.
With more than 4 million troops fighting 1 million troops, Chiang Kai-shek at that time may have thought that he could win no matter how he fought, but when he fought, he found that something was wrong, his army was fighting less and less, the Communist army was fighting more and more, and finally even nearly half of the Kuomintang troops defected to the Communist Party.
When the army had absolute numerical superiority, it could not be defeated, and when it gained the upper hand, the Kuomintang represented by Chiang Kai-shek was even less an opponent of the Communist Party; in just 4 years, the War of Liberation was over, and Chiang Kai-shek could only retreat to Taiwan with some remnants and survive.
So you see, Chiang Kai-shek's half-life experience can be summed up as a "precarious situation"?
As for the "monkey king giving way" mentioned above, in fact, it is not so at all, and later in order to verify the legend, some relevant personnel went to Mount Emei to inquire about the old monk, and finally knew that the monkey king gave way, where is Chiang Kai-shek's "courage?" "It's clear that the monkey mistook him for a monk on the mountain!"
When there is no food to eat on Mount Emei, the monks in the temple will often give the monkeys some food, and also teach the clever monkeys some actions, which makes the so-called "monkey king give way to the Tao", as to whether the old monk has really given Chiang Kai-shek a gua, because the old monk refuses to talk about it, it is difficult to pursue the truth.
However, in any case, from the point of view that Chiang Kai-shek's first Kuomintang-Communist cooperation was a blatant rebellion against the revolution and did not care about the will of the people, it is not surprising that even if someone said to him, "The future is not precarious."
