Tell the truest history in the simplest words.
The TV series "The Young Marshal" was once all the rage. This TV series largely restores the real history of the Republic of China period. However, there are still some gaps with the real history.

I don't know the screenwriter of "The Young Marshal", so I don't know what his relationship with Guo Songling is, why he "beautified" Guo Songling so much, and set Jiang Deng's character so incompetent.
Although I don't know what the screenwriters have in mind, it may be because Jiang Dengxuan did not survive until the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, nor was he able to do anything earth-shattering, thinking that no one would "seek justice" for them, and it would worsen such "small people".
Since we are talking about history, we must talk about conscience. You can't bully us stupidity don't you? History clearly said of them:
Under Zhang Zuolin's account, Jiang Dengxuan, together with Li Jinglin, Han Linchun, Zhang Zongchang, and Guo Songling, was called the Five Tiger Generals! The five tigers have different characters and different temperaments: Han Linchun has wisdom and strategy, not informality; Li Jinglin is versatile and good at talking; Zhang Zongchang is rude and indulgent; Guo Songling is astute and cunning and the city government is quite deep. Du Jiang Dengxuan is bold and light on wealth, amiable, able to share happiness and hardship with soldiers, and emphasizes righteousness and light profit.
Since this has been said, friends who are interested in Ming history might as well learn about the real Jiang Dengxuan and Guo Songling.
Jiang Dengxuan
Jiang Dengxuan was born in 1880 to a wealthy family of agriculture and business. When he was young, he had the ambition to learn, and after realizing the necessity of the line of enriching the country and strengthening the army, he resolutely and resolutely went to the road of the soldiers.
In 1903, Jiang Dengxuan went to Japan to study military affairs. During this period, under the influence of Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren, he participated in the "Comrades' Association" in 1904 and the "Chinese League Association" organized by Sun Yat-sen in Japan the following year.
Jiang Deng was elected as a member of the Early Chinese League 5 years before Guo Songling!
It should be known that Guo Songling joined the New Army Alliance in 1910 through the introduction of Fang Shengtao and Ye Quan, and became one of the early members of the Alliance.
First, start together, but the world is different
In the early days, Guo Songling and Jiang Dengxuan both followed Zhu Qinglan.
In 1911, the Sichuan Baolu Movement broke out, and Zhao Erfeng, the governor of Sichuan, was forced to step down. Zhu Qinglan was proclaimed deputy governor of the Sichuan military government in Chengdu, and Jiang Dengxuan was recommended to be the chief of staff of the Sichuan military government, but he stubbornly resigned. However, Guo Songling was dismissed from his position as a battalion commander on suspicion of being a bandit, and only after Zhu Qinglan's pleading did he reinstate himself.
After the Wuchang uprising, the Sichuan generals instigated the local army to launch a mutiny, and Zhu Qinglan and the guest generals were forced to leave Sichuan. Jiang Dengxuan and Guo Songling also followed Zhu Qinglan out of Sichuan and returned to Fengtian.
Guo Songling
In 1911, Guo Songling, who had been reinstated as battalion commander, participated in the conspiracy uprising of the United Promotion Association led by Zhang Rong after returning to Fengtian, but was arrested by the Qing government authorities and wanted to be beheaded, and then Han Shuxiu risked his life to intercept the execution car, stating that Guo Songling was his fiancé, returned to Fengtian for a wedding, and never joined the revolutionary party, and was released. Guo Songling and Han Shuxiu married.
In 1912, Jiang Deng was elected as an instructor at the Baoding Army Officer School.
In 1913, he was appointed chief of staff of the First Division of the Guizhou Army. In November of the same year, Zhu Qinglan went to Heilongjiang to take up a post, and Jiang Deng was elected as the chief of staff of the Heilongjiang Governor's Office. In December, he was awarded the rank of major general.
In the autumn of that year, Guo Songling was admitted to the Chinese Army University.

In June 1914, Jiang Deng was elected chief of staff of the Zhen'an Right General's Bureau, assisting Zhu Qinglan. In May of the same year, Zhu Qinglan was forced to go down by Xu Lanzhou, and Jiang Dengxuan also went down.
In 1916, Zhu Qinglan was appointed governor of Guangdong Province, and Jiang Dengxuan was appointed as a supplementary.
It was not until 1917 that Guo Songling served as a tactical instructor in the Army of the Three Provinces of Fengtian.
Second, the way of joining the system is very different
It was also around this time that the two began to work for the Feng clan. Guo Songling became acquainted with Zhang Xueliang during his tenure as an instructor, and has since made steady progress.
On zhang Xueliang's recommendation, Guo Songling was appointed by Zhang Zuolin as chief of staff and head of the second regiment. In 1921, Zhang Zuolin appointed Guo Songling as the commander of the Eighth Brigade, and formed the headquarters with the Third Brigade led by Zhang Xueliang.
And Jiang Dengxuan is a step-by-step solid achievement.
In 1917, Zhu Qinglan resigned as governor of Guangdong Province, and Jiang Dengxuan resigned. After resigning, Jiang Dengxuan entered the Feng clan and belonged to Zhang Zuolin.
In April 1917, after the defeat of the Feng clan in the first Zhifeng War, Jiang Dengxuan personally went into battle, led the engineers to build a defensive line, supported the retreat of the Feng army, and was praised by Zhang Zuolin, and was appointed as the director of training of the Feng army and the deputy commander of the army consolidation office of the three eastern provinces. Jiang Dengxuan actively participated in the reconstruction and elite work of the Feng army.
In 1924, the Second Zhifeng War broke out, jiang Dengxuan and Han Linchun served as the commanders of the First Army of the Zhenwei Army, and Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling served as the chief and deputy commanders of the Third Army.

In the Second Zhifeng War, Zhang Xueliang and Han Linchun's frontal battlefield had not been broken through, and after learning that the hostile forces in the Jiumen Theater faced by Jiang Dengxuan and Han Linchun were weak, Zhang and Guo led their troops to the Jiumen.
It is reasonable to say that at the Ninth Gate, Jiang Dengxuan chose the troops as the main force, but Guo Songling had no choice but to monopolize power, and even suspected that Jiang Dengxuan's Chen Chen Brigade did not listen to the dispatches and wanted to bring them to justice. Jiang Dengxuan defended him, but Guo Songling ignored him. It was not until Later, Zhang Xueliang knelt before Guo Songling and cried bitterly, that Guo Songling spared Chen chen of the death penalty.
After that, Jiang Guo and Guo were even more incompatible. However, they also believe that disarmament should be done to recuperate the population. Therefore, they made suggestions to Zhang Zuolin and Duan Qirui, but they were not accepted.
On November 22, 1925, Guo Songling raised an army in Luanzhou and killed Jiang Dengxuan at the same time, issuing a declaration of anti-Feng.
On the 26th, Zhang Xueliang contacted Guo Songling, a Japanese doctor who was near Guo Songling in Luanzhou, by telephone in Qinhuangdao through the Japanese consultant Yi'e, and asked to interview Guo, but Guo Songling declined. On the 27th, Zhang Xueliang wrote a handwritten letter to Guo, and the Japanese doctor Morita to Changli forwarded the letter to Guo Songling, in which he wrote:
Mao Chen brother Junjian: Inherit the brother's kindness, embrace liang on the stage, and long friendship sense of foot. Wei Liang cannot yet betray the righteousness of his friends, and Anken sees that Li forgets righteousness and betrays his father. The so-called unification of the three provinces of the late brother, who runs the northeast, my brother is a Juke. Although Liang died, he did not dare to accept his fate, resulting in the name of thousands of autumn rebellions. A gentleman loves virtue, and my brother knows me, and he will not be forced by this. The heart of the brother raising the soldier, the brother's hole is bright. If the military can be stopped at this point, consultations can be proposed, and it is not difficult to solve. To the brother after all the aftermath, the brother should swear to die responsible, there is no danger... Learn to be the first.
After the letter was sent, there was still no response.
On November 27, 1925, Zhang Xueliang sent Yi'e to contact Shoutian for the second time, hoping that Guo Songling would stop military operations first, and any request could be consulted.
Guo Songling replied this time, proposing the following conditions for an armistice:
(1) Shandong returned to Yue Weijun; (2) directly subordinate to Feng Yuxiang; (3) Rehe to Li Jinglin; (4) Guo Huifeng was in power and ruled the northeast.
At this point, Guo Songling's purpose of opposing the three provinces was already clear, and he wanted to control the three eastern provinces alone to achieve his goal of transforming the three eastern provinces. Zhang Xueliang felt that the work of persuading Guo had failed completely, and he no longer had illusions about him. Therefore, he sent planes to drop leaflets over Guo Jun, exposing Guo Songling for stealing his own name and rebelling against him, and condemning him for being ungrateful.
On December 24, Guo Jun was defeated, and Guo Songling and his wife were arrested by Feng Jun in a vegetable kiln of a farmhouse in Xinmin County.
On the 25th, after being escorted to Laodafang in Liaozhong County, Guo Songling and his wife Han Shuxiu were shot and killed, and Zhang Zuolin ordered the body to be exposed for three days before it could be buried.
Guo Songling was defeated, and Han Linchun personally moved the tomb for Jiang Deng to his original hometown. When the coffin was opened, it was only seen that Jiang Dengxuan's remains had loosened their hands and ropes, and the wooden planks inside the coffin were covered with claw marks. It turned out that Jiang Dengxuan was shot, but in fact, he did not hit the point, but was suffocated in the coffin. Everyone who saw it wept!
Later comments:
Jiang Dengxuan was resolute and resolute in temperament, honest in his treatment of others, honest in his officials, not only honor and profit, strict in governing the army, approachable, and remembered by the military and civilians stationed in the garrison and the people in his hometown.
