Chairman Mao once commented on a man: "The style of "swallowing alone alone" and "no one will give poison" is just an old trick of the feudal lords, and it did not work in the end in the late 1940s. "We are talking about Chiang Kai-shek, the leader of the Kuomintang.
In China's modern history, Chiang Kai-shek is undoubtedly an important figure, and the world's evaluation of him is also different. From the objective facts, Chiang Kai-shek also made indelible contributions to the development of China's history. However, in the later period, Chiang Kai-shek gradually deviated from the right track and eventually went against the people.
During chiang kai-shek's reign, he was also forced to go to the wilderness three times, but before and after each downfall, a big Figure of the Kuomintang was secretly executed.
For the first time, Shimono took power
In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei successively launched counter-revolutionary coups, and the Nationalist government was divided into two, and the Nanjing Nationalist Government headed by Chiang Kai-shek and the Wuhan Nationalist Government headed by Wang Jingwei appeared. However, within the Nanjing government, where Chiang Kai-shek was located at that time, it was not optimistic about Chiang Kai-shek, and slowly there were anti-Chiang kai-shek voices.
This call became more and more intense, and the Nationalist government in Wuhan immediately sent a telegram to chiang kai-shek to "go to the wilderness", otherwise it would carry out a military crusade. On August 13, 1927, Chiang Kai-shek issued a "declaration of resignation" and officially stepped down.
After Chiang Kai-shek stepped down, relations between the Wuhan side and the Nanjing side were relaxed, and the firepower was concentrated to deal with Sun Chuanfang, who was moving south, and the Northern Expedition was completed. Although Chiang Kai-shek was forced into exile, some of his policies were still implemented, and he secretly executed a famous northern general, Wang Tianpei.
Wang Tianpei was a famous general in the Nationalist army, who led many battles, made great achievements, and served as the commander of the Tenth Army in the Northern Expedition, and then occupied Xuzhou, together with Ye Ting's independent regiment and called the Iron Army. However, when Chiang Kai-shek launched a counter-revolutionary coup, he was opposed by Wang Tianpei.
Wang Tianpei always followed and supported Dr. Sun Yat-sen's three major policies of the United Communist Party, the United Russia, and the Support for Peasants and Workers, so he refused to accept Chiang Kai-shek's order to "hunt down and kill the Communists of the Army" and moved all the Communists in the army to a safe place, which was greatly disliked by Chiang Kai-shek.
After the fall of Xuzhou, Chiang Kai-shek used various reasons to slander Wang Tianpei and put him under house arrest, and after Chiang Kai-shek left the wilderness, he secretly executed Wang Tianpei at the age of 39.
For Chiang Kai-shek, this undoubtedly relieved a major problem, but at the same time, China lost a good general. Only half a year later, Chiang Kai-shek was reinstated as an official and seized great power, in the meantime he also crushed Chen Gongbo and others.
The second time to get rid of the left
After the Northern Expedition, military power has always been in chiang kai-shek's hands, but the political power is not in his hands, which is naturally not what Chiang Kai-shek wants. Chiang Kai-shek then began a confrontation with the Kuomintang "big men" and launched the Central Plains War to finally win.
But there are still two figures that are difficult to shake, that is, Hu Hanmin and Tan Tingmin, who have been in power during Chiang Kai-shek's war and have a very high prestige and status in the party, and Hu Hanmin is more capable and prestigious among these two.
However, after one victory after another, Chiang Kai-shek gradually ignored Hu Hanmin and believed that the "party power" flaunted by Hu Hanmin was no longer needed, and tried to use the "civil rights" he proposed to oppose Hu Hanmin's "party power", which was bound to be resolutely opposed by Hu Hanmin.
It was also true that Hu Hanmin broke with him, but at first Chiang Kai-shek tried to persuade Hu Hanmin through others, but Hu Hanmin was stubborn and did not give in, so Chiang Kai-shek took compulsory measures and put Hu Hanmin under house arrest after a meeting.
Chiang Kai-shek thought that he would seize power because of this, but he did not expect to cause an uproar, and Chiang Kai-shek was forced to go to the opposition for the second time, and before going down, he executed Deng Yanda, the leftist leader of the Kuomintang.
Chiang Kai-shek is a leader of the right wing, and naturally there are many political differences with the left leader Deng Yanda; after Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12" coup d'état, Deng Yanda resolutely opposed Chiang Kai-shek's practices, and since then he has joined forces with Soong Ching-ling and others to oppose Chiang Kai-shek.
However, Deng Yanda was also afraid that his own safety would be threatened, so he traveled abroad to study and learned many advanced ideas. After returning to China in 1930, he still insisted on opposing Chiang Kai-shek and issued many publications opposing Chiang Kai-shek. In 1931, he was betrayed and arrested in Shanghai.
Chiang Kai-shek wanted him to abandon his claim, but he refused, and Chiang Kai-shek knew that this person was like a time bomb that must be removed, so on November 29, 1931, Deng Yanda was secretly executed.
Three times to get rid of the left
In 1949, Chiang Kai-shek went down to the wilderness for the third time, and this time, unlike the previous two times, this time he took the initiative to go to the wilderness in order to seek a way back, and in the last year of the Liberation War, the Kuomintang led by Chiang Kai-shek frequently failed.
Chiang Kai-shek tried to seek the support of other countries, but the United States hoped that Chiang Kai-shek would step down at an early date and politely refused, and several other countries also followed the example of the United States, leaving Chiang Kai-shek with nowhere to go. Chiang Kai-shek then decided to go to the wilderness, so he held a meeting to announce the dismissal.
During this period, Chiang Kai-shek had found a way back for himself, transporting a large amount of gold to Taiwan and taking a large amount of armed forces into his own hands. What remains unchanged is that Chiang Kai-shek executed a major Kuomintang figure, Chen Yi, after this dismissal.
Chen Yi was the chairman of the Zhejiang provincial government at the time, a second-class general in the army, and chen Yi was also a leader of the Left Wing of the Kuomintang and did not approve of Chiang Kai-shek's political ideas. He was killed mainly because at that time, when Shanghai was liberated, Chen Yi wanted to overthrow Chiang Kai-shek, and whether he had real power in his hands, he wanted to win his righteous son Tang Enbo together.
Who knew that Tang Enbo told Chiang Kai-shek about this matter, which caused Chiang Kai-shek's anger, so even though Chiang Kai-shek had already left the wilderness, he still arrested Chen Yi, and in 1950 Chen Yi was secretly executed.
brief summary:
Chiang Kai-shek went to the field three times in his lifetime, and executed a major Kuomintang figure. For Chiang Kai-shek, it was to remove obstacles to his assumption of power, but for the Chinese revolution, it was the loss of several generals, and it was not beneficial to the cause of the Chinese revolution.
Wang Tianpei, Deng Yanda, and Chen Yi, who were executed by Chiang Kai-shek successively, were all very friendly to the Chinese Communist Party during their lifetimes and maintained good relations with the Chinese Communist Party, but in the end they were brutally killed, which was sad.
And this is precisely an important reason for Chiang Kai-shek's eventual failure, he has always been unpopular with the people and will inevitably be overthrown by the people.
