The person I want to talk about today, maybe very few people know his name now, but this is definitely a big bull man, just look at the list of his subordinates.
Li Jishen, Deng Yanda, Ye Ting, Ye Jianying, Chen Cheng, Xue Yue, Zhang Fakui, Jiang Guangnai, Cai Tingkai, Chen Jitang, Luo Zhuoying, Wu Qiwei, Fan Hanjie, Yu Hanmou...
These well-known big men all have a common old leader, which is Deng Hao, who is going to talk about this article.
Deng Hao, a native of Meixian County, Guangdong Province, was born in 1886, a year older than Chiang Kai-shek. Mixed seniority within the Kuomintang, participation in the 1910 Guangzhou Huanghuagang Uprising was an important measure, and Deng Hao was an important figure in planning the Huanghuagang Uprising.
Another point is that when fighting in Guangzhou, Deng Hao's family just opened a Guangfeng rice shop in Xiaodongmen, Guangzhou, which is a meeting place for revolutionaries and can be called a temporary command. At that time, it was definitely rich people who could open rice, but Deng Hao said: "For the sake of the revolution, destroy the family wealth at all costs!" ”
Hu Hanmin, the governor of Guangdong, admired the young and promising Deng Hao and asked Deng Hao to be his brother-in-law. But he was rejected by Deng Haowan, and in his eyes, Hu Hanmin was not his true son.
So, who is Deng Hao's true destiny? It was Sun Yat-sen.
Sun Yat-sen had three absolutely reliable confidants, in addition to Liao Zhongkai and Zhu Zhixin, who was Deng Hao. Zhu Zhixin and Liao Zhongkai were both political, and only Deng Hao was in charge of the gun, and the importance of Sun Yat-sen was self-evident. Why couldn't Sun Yat-sen fight Yuan Shikai? There are thousands of reasons, the most important one is that Sun Yat-sen did not have a gun in his hand.
Although Hu Hanmin did not turn Deng Hao into his brother-in-law, he still admired Deng Hao, calling him "among the warriors, they are far-sighted, but the public is able to do it." Hu Hanmin was not a gunman, nor was the Kuomintang's military in charge of Deng Hao. In other words, Sun Yat-sen's political ideals were mainly supported by the barrel of Deng Hao's gun.
In 1920, after Deng Hao led the Guangdong army to fight away the Gui army, he began to reorganize the Guangdong army. At this time, the Cantonese army had a total of 90,000 people, mixed fish and dragons, and the quality was uneven, so Deng Hao selected elites and established the first division of the Guangdong Army, which is famous in the history of the National Revolutionary Army, and appointed himself as the commander of the division.
During the Republic of China period, the combat effectiveness of the Cantonese army was very strong, and the Northern Expedition of the Nationalist Government relied on the Cantonese Army. In the Cantonese Army, the First Division can be called the ace first division, known as the "mother of the Cantonese Army", and most of the famous generals of the Cantonese Army are from the First Division.
In the military circles of the Republic of China at that time, Deng Hao could be called the first person, and Li Jishen was a big name, right? At that time, he was just an aide-de-camp, and Deng Yanda and Ye Ting, who were later big men, were only ordinary staff officers of Deng Hao at that time.
If Deng Hao had not had an accident, with his position and ability, Chiang Kai-shek would have no day to emerge. It was precisely because of Deng Hao's accident that a vacuum appeared in the military circles of the Republic of China that Chiang Kai-shek was born.
What happened to Deng Hao? He was shot and killed.
It was March 21, 1922, and Deng Hao, who had just returned to Guangzhou from Hong Kong, got off the train and was about to get into the car that had come to meet him, when suddenly, a man rushed out of the crowd and fired two shots at Deng Hao. The unsuspecting Deng Hao fell to the ground on the spot, and one of the bullets hit him in the stomach.
Everyone rushed Deng Hao to the Sino-French Taomei Hospital for rescue, but because the injuries were too serious and unable to return to heaven, they died two days later, at the age of 36.
It is said that before Deng Hao died, he lamented: "It is difficult for a good person to do!" ”
The reason why Deng Hao was assassinated was related to his previous advocacy of smoking bans, which offended people.
Deng Hao was extremely disgusted with opium and the ban on smoking was very strong, but his good friend Chen Jiongming secretly sold opium to make money. Deng Hao did not give Chen Jiongming face, and after seizing a batch of more than 200 cartons of chen jiongming's soil smoke, he burned this batch of large smoke in the eastern suburbs of Guangzhou.
Someone kindly advised him not to offend people indiscriminately, and to be careful of people shooting black guns. Deng Hao said emphatically, "I want to be afraid of death, I followed Yuan Shikai back then." I do things with dignity and am not afraid of someone firing a black gun. ”
I didn't expect a word to be a slur.
As for whether the black gun was opened by Chen Jiongming, there is no empirical evidence. But it is clear that Chen Jiongming is the most suspicious. Sun Yat-sen had no reason to assassinate Deng Hao at all, who would be stupid enough to cut his wings?
It's just a pity that Deng Hao, a generation of military tycoons, died in this way with a black gun. Just think, if Deng Hao had not died young, Chiang Kai-shek might not have been able to come out, and China's history would probably have been rewritten.
After Deng Hao's death, he was posthumously awarded the title of general of the army, and on March 23 every year, it was also designated by the Nationalist government as the "Martyrdom Memorial Day", which was extremely honored.
