Introduction: People's life, three points rely on choice, three points rely on luck, and four points rely on effort, there are many people who choose the wrong path that is not suitable for themselves, even if there is luck and effort, there is no way to succeed, so the choice is greater than luck, luck is greater than effort. But as the old saying goes, a gentleman does something, he doesn't do something, if he does whatever it takes to succeed, such a success should not be left alone.
We all know that the historical Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling were a couple, but what everyone may not know is that Sun Yat-sen originally wanted to introduce his wife's sister Soong Mei-ling to Tan Yanmin as his wife.
Tan Yanmin did not agree to the beautiful marriage given by Heaven, but instead proposed to Sun Yat-sen that Soong Mei Ling be married to Chiang Kai-shek. It is because Tan Yanmin will be a man, which has achieved the great marriage between Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling.
Tan Yanmin was awarded the rank of general, and he also served as a marshal of the National Army and the national chairman of Nanjing, and was a well-known figure in the Republic of China period, when more people knew Tan Yanmin than people knew Chiang Kai-shek, which showed that his reputation was extraordinary.
Tan Yanmin not only wrote well, but also left and right in terms of serving as an official, and because he would become an official, he had an excellent reputation among officials, and he was deeply valued by Sun Yat-sen in the early period and Chiang Kai-shek in the later period.
Tan Yanmin was too good at being an official, which made him have a smooth ride in the official arena and became a figure who enjoyed all kinds of glory and wealth.
Thinking that at that time, Tan Yanmin was a powerful general under Sun Yat-sen, and because the two were very close, Sun Yat-sen wanted to kiss him, so he wanted to introduce his wife's sister Song Meiling to Tan Yanmin, who had just lost his wife.
If he had changed ordinary people, in the face of such a sudden good thing, he would naturally agree with joy, but Tan Yanmin rejected Sun Yat-sen's kindness on the spot, but instead wanted Soong Meiling to marry Chiang Kai-shek.
It was because of Tan Yanmin's polite refusal and took the initiative to broker the marriage between Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling, and finally Song Meiling married Chiang Kai-shek, and he also became the introducer between Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling.
On the day of Chiang Kai-shek's big wedding, Tan Yanmin also became the main marriage between them, and Chiang Kai-shek was very grateful to Tan Yanmin, and the relationship between the two became closer and closer.
After the victory of the Northern Expedition, Chiang Kai-shek took power, and Tan Yanmin's position at that time was the chairman of the National People's Republic. Although Chiang Kai-shek had a good relationship with Tan Yanmin, Chiang Kai-shek was a tyrant, and he felt that Tan Yanmin's position would affect his status, so he replaced his position with that of president of the Executive Yuan.
If he had changed others, he would have been dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek, but Tan Yanmin was happy, and he never opposed anything Chiang Kai-shek did in office, and he actively approved it every time.
Tan Yanmin, who had never opposed the policy formulated at the Chiang Kai-shek Conference, gradually gained chiang kai-shek's great trust.
In addition to responding to all the decisions made at Chiang Kai-shek's meeting, Tan Yanmin wrote calligraphy and studied food every day, and because he liked to eat a variety of foods, he developed many exquisite dishes that were passed down to later generations.
Among the modern Hunan cuisine, there is a famous "Group An Xiang Dish", which is Tan Yanmin's private recipe.
After Chiang Kai-shek discovered that Tan Yanmin had no desire for power, he knew that Tan Yanmin was an absolute person of his own, so his relationship with him became better and better, and he also recognized Tan Yanmin's daughter as his "dry daughter" with Soong Meiling.
In 1930, Tan Yanmin died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage due to illness, and after Chiang Kai-shek learned of this news, he held a solemn funeral ceremony for him and buried him thickly.
For the sudden death of Tan Yanmin, Chiang Kai-shek was sad and sad about this for a while, and after Tan Yanmin's death, Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling treated Tan Yanmin's daughter Tan Xiang very well, simply as if they were their own.
Half a year later, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling saw that Tan Xiang's daughter was still unmarried, so they wanted to find an excellent young officer in the army for Gan's daughter to be Tan Xiang's husband.
In order to find a suitable object for Tan Xiang, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling can be said to have chosen a thousand choices, and after some careful deliberation, they finally selected two outstanding young officers.
Chiang Kai-shek valued Hu Zongnan more, while Soong Mei-ling valued an officer named Chen Cheng. Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling argued endlessly over this matter.
Hu Zongnan was a former cadet of the Whampoa Military Academy and was extremely loyal to Chiang Kai-shek, so Chiang Kai-shek wanted to marry Tan Xiang to Hu Zongnan.
But Song Meiling held an opposing opinion, she believed that Hu Zongnan was loyal to her husband and there was no need to continue to woo her, and Chen Cheng was different, Chen Cheng, a young Junjie, although young and promising, was not yet completely loyal to her husband.
Song Meiling wanted to take this opportunity to win Chen Cheng over, so after some consultation between Song Meiling and Chiang Kai-shek, she finally decided to ration Tan Xiangxu to Chen Cheng.
Song Meiling first found Chen Cheng, and when Chen Cheng heard about this, his heart was very happy, and he immediately agreed to the marriage, and in order to become Chiang Kai-shek's son-in-law, he immediately divorced his wife Wu.
After Chen Cheng recovered from being single, Song Meiling went to find Tan Xiang and wanted to match the two, tan Xiang heard that his mother Song Meiling wanted to marry him, and asked the other party what position he was in now?
Song Meiling falsely claimed that Chen Cheng was a military commander, but Chen Cheng's current position was only that of commander of the 11th Division. Tan Xiang asked some other things, and was very satisfied with the young officer named Chen Cheng, and finally agreed to the marriage.
After seeing Tan Xiang's consent, in order to round off the lie, Chiang Kai-shek immediately changed Chen Cheng from the position of division commander to the commander of the 10th Army.
Later, in the presence of Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling, the two sides held a grand wedding in Nanjing, and Chen Cheng and Tan Xiang became a couple.
After Chen Cheng became Chiang Kai-shek's dragon-riding son-in-law, his official position could be said to have risen step by step, and eventually he became Chiang Kai-shek's deputy, and within the Kuomintang, he even had the title of "Chiang Kai-shek's stand-in".
Conclusion: After Tan Xiang married Chen Cheng, he gave birth to six children for Chen Cheng, but Chen Cheng's behavior of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix like Chen Shimei really made people feel shameful, and it can only be said that this is a political marriage, which completed Chen Cheng, and the original Wu clan became a victim in this political marriage.
The beautiful act of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix really makes people feel shameful, and it can only be said that this is a political marriage, which has fulfilled Chen Cheng, but the original Wu family has become a victim of this political marriage.
