Li Jishen, Ye Ting, Chen Cheng, Xue Yue... Speaking of these people, everyone knows that they are all well-known big men in the Republic of China, but what is less known is that they once had a common leader, and this person was named Deng Hao.
Deng Hao was a year older than Chiang Kai-shek, and in the early years, the criterion for evaluating seniority within the Kuomintang was whether he had participated in the Huanghuagang Uprising in Guangzhou, and Deng Hao not only participated in it, but also participated in the planning of important figures. Moreover, when fighting in Guangzhou, Deng Hao's rice shop was a meeting place for the revolutionaries, and its role was no different from that of the command headquarters.
Deng Hao was young and promising, and Hu Hanmin wanted to win him over, even at the expense of marrying his own sister. But Deng Hao was not moved, and there was only one person he wanted to follow in his heart, that is, Sun Yat-sen. At that time, Sun Yat-sen had 3 important ministers, namely Zhu Zhixin and Liao Zhongkai and Deng Hao, but Zhu Zhixin and Liao Zhongkai were good at politics, and only Deng Hao had a gun in his hand. At that time, the reason why Sun Yat-sen lost to Yuan Shikai was because he did not have enough guns in his hand. Therefore, with Deng Hao, Sun Yat-sen's political ideals were guaranteed.
Later, Deng Hao led the Guangdong army to fight the Gui army, and although the battle was won, he also saw that the quality of the personnel in the unit was uneven, so he selected elites and formed the famous First Division of the Guangdong Army. This unit was the ace unit of the Northern Expedition, and most of the famous generals of the Cantonese Army after that also came from this army.
With such a person, Chiang Kai-shek would not have had a day at all, and it was precisely because of Deng Hao's accident that a vacuum period appeared in the military circles of the Republic of China, and Chiang Kai-shek came to the fore.
On March 21, 1922, Deng Hao just got off the train and saw a big man with a gun in the crowd, but because the distance was too close, Deng Hao had no time to dodge, and after being shot twice, he fell to the ground, and then the hospital went all out to rescue but could not return to the sky, Deng Heng insisted for two days and died.
The assassination may be related to Deng Hao's previous advocacy of smoking bans. At that time, Deng Hao's smoking ban was very strong, but his friend Chen Jiongming was not interested and took the lead in selling opium, and Deng Hao burned more than 200 cartons of Chen Jiongming's local smoke in one breath. However, it is not known whether this black gun was sent by Chen Jiongming. Unfortunately, the end has been decided, the history of the Republic of China is so missing a military big man, if he is alive, Chiang Kai-shek may not be able to get ahead, and China's history will be rewritten.
Deng Hao was posthumously honored after his death, not only posthumously awarded the rank of general of the army, but on the day of his death, that is, March 23, it was defined as the "martyrdom day" of the Republic of China government, and every year on this day, Deng Hao's name was remembered.
