History has its own life, it is like a person, both easy-going and self-respecting. ——Yu Qiuyu
During the Republic of China period, Huang Hao was an inseparable figure, he followed Sun Yat-sen in his early years, and when he studied in Japan, he met Chiang Kai-shek, plus Chen Qimei, and the three became brothers.
Since then, Huang Has successively served as the chief of foreign affairs, the chief of education, the acting prime minister, and the regent of the presidency, which can also be regarded as a pivotal figure in the Republic of China.
However, for Chiang Kai-shek, Huang Hao also has an important role, that is, to be a "pot bearer" for himself.
In 1928, Chiang Kai-shek led the Northern Expedition, but in order to stop the Northern Expedition and protect Japan's interests in North China, the Japanese planned the famous "Jinan Massacre".
In early May 1928, the Japanese brazenly sent troops to attack Jinan on the pretext of protecting overseas Chinese, killing not only dozens of officials in Jinan, but also bombarding the city with artillery, killing and injuring countless ordinary people.
At this time, Chiang Kai-shek was leading troops in the Northern Expedition, and had no intention of going to war with the Japanese, nor did he have the ability to go to war with Japan, so he could only negotiate with the Japanese. However, the people of the whole country were very angry, and it was impossible not to give an explanation, and Chiang Kai-shek did not want to bear the name of a traitor who was "pro-Japanese and peaceful," so he entrusted all affairs to Huang Hao, who was then the foreign minister.
Huang Was ordered to negotiate with the Japanese. However, the Japanese are too strong, and we have no hole cards to play, so we can only seek perfection and try our best to meet the requirements of the Japanese. But the people, especially in Jinan, took to the streets to demand severe punishment for the Negotiators with Japan.
In this way, Chiang Kai-shek successfully threw the pot to Huang Hao, who was not only saddled with the insult of being a traitor, but also forced to resign from his post as chief of foreign affairs.
This was the first time that Huang Hao had carried a black cauldron for Chiang Kai-shek, and 5 years later, he had carried it again.
In 1933, Chiang Kai-shek was busy encircling and suppressing the Red Army, but the Japanese began to stir again, and had already crossed the Great Wall and approached Tianjin and Beijing, and the situation in North China was very critical.
Chiang Kai-shek did not want to stop the pace of encircling and suppressing the Red Army, and besides, with the strength of China at that time, it was impossible to compete with the Japanese, so Chiang Kai-shek began to take the road of peace talks with the Japanese again.
However, Chiang Kai-shek himself would not come forward, so he remembered Huang Hao, who was idle at home, and put him in charge of negotiating with the Japanese.
In order to appease the people,Chiang Kai-shek made a speech in the newspaper, saying that he would severely punish the Japanese and safeguard China's interests, but in private he said in a telegram with Huang Gao that it was necessary to strive for a peaceful settlement, and as long as Japan did not mention the cession of the three eastern provinces and did not allow them to recognize the puppet state of Manchukuo, all other conditions could be agreed, and Huang Hao was given all the right to decide.
In the face of the crisis, Huang Hao could only support himself bitterly, but the Japanese side pressed forward step by step, constantly urging Huang Hao to give in and transport the cannons to the outside of Beijing, and if Huang Hao did not agree to their conditions, he would bombard the city with cannons.
Huang Hao could only run in many ways, even if it was to fight for a little rights and interests, and finally, the Tanggu Agreement was signed with the Japanese, and the Japanese withdrew from North China and temporarily lifted the crisis.
However, suidong, chabei, and jidong were designated as areas where the Japanese army could freely enter and leave, which actually opened the door to northern China to Japan, and coupled with the conditions for concessions such as navigation and postal services, the whole country was in an uproar for a while, and one after another demanded severe punishment for traitors.
Because Huang Gao was the specific host of the "Tanggu Agreement," the focus of the whole country naturally gathered on him, and once again gave Chiang Kai-shek, the "good brother", the pot.
Afterwards, Huang Hao told Wang Yunsheng, a reporter for the Ta Kung Pao: "In the past year, most people think that I huang mou was born with a bone, willing to be a traitor to the country, and a dwarf; I am not unaware of stretching my waist, but the country needs me to sing this play, and I have to sacrifice my personal thoughts. Between the lines, they are full of helplessness.
On December 6, 1936, Huang Gao died depressed, at the age of 56.
Chiang Kai-shek once commented on him, saying: "He bears the burden of humiliation and burden, and there are indeed people who can bear the burden of extraordinary people." Since the people of the people are benevolent, it is easy to be in the soup and fire and not to avoid it, and it is difficult for those who are suspected of slander and do not resign, when they are troubled and worried, they do not care about their reputations, and they are bent and rushed, and their merits are the same as the battlefield. ”
It can be seen that Chiang Kai-shek still recognizes this "good brother."
