At the age of 36, he was awarded the rank of major general, but the chairman commented: This person cannot be reused, and how will it end in his later years
In the Great Qin Empire, King Huiwen of Qin once said to his soldiers: "When you are a young man! This sentence was really atmospheric, which made countless Qin soldiers crazy.
Looking back at The history of China, we have seen many young generals with great prosperity, the most famous example of which is huofu disease that seals the wolf. These young generals were our idols, and they did miracles.
However, young people are sometimes easy to be young and vigorous, and it is easy to be tempted by people in high positions. Taking China's modern history as an example, at the time of the founding of the country, there was a 36-year-old major general, who was a young man among many founding generals.
Unfortunately, this excellent young major general was not only evaluated by the chairman as incapable, but also because of his ambitions, he was also caught in a state of doom. Who is this major general?
Young Jiang Tengjiao
It is said that there are many revolutionary talents in the Two Lakes region, and in the early years, the Wuchang Uprising overthrew the Qing court, and many of the great people who founded the country since then have also come from Hunan.
According to statistics, in the Hong'an area of Hubei Province alone, 140,000 people died for the revolution. What a terrible number, which also allows us to see the revolutionary enthusiasm in Hubei.
However, if you have paid so many lives for the revolution, then naturally you will step out of many elites in the sacrifice, and even become the founding generals.
Among these successful people, there is a man named Jiang Tengjiao, who is a teenager who came out of these bloody people and has also become the founding major general of our country.
According to records, Jiang Tengjiao was born in 1919 and is a native of Hong'an, Hubei Province. His family, like most people, was very bad, and coupled with the turmoil in the country at that time, it was in a dark moment, so it was difficult for all people to survive.
Faced with the exploitation of the landlords, the difficulties of the people, and the helplessness of his own situation, Jiang Tengjiao had revolutionary ideas very early on, and by chance, he saw the troops of the Red Army, and was also influenced by the red ideas of the Red Army, and finally decided to join the troops. At that time, he was only 11 years old, and he had become a small devil in the Red Army.
Jiang Tengjiao's early experience can really be described as a magnificent teenager, although he was only 11 years old, he also had to do revolution and work hard for the rise of China.
In the days that followed, Jiang Tengjiao was quickly baptized by revolution, first entangled with the Kuomintang, witnessing the rain of bullets and bullets, and then dodging and moving under various difficult conditions. On more than one occasion they struggled to survive, and more than once they led their troops against the Kuomintang troops.
The victories of the troops strengthened his enthusiasm for the Red Revolution, and coupled with his own very clever mind, he was quickly promoted, first as the head of the children's team, and later as the secretary of the children's bureau.
In 1934, the main force in the Eyu-Anhui Soviet Region began the Long March, while Jiang Tengjiao was left behind to face the encirclement and suppression of the Kuomintang forces.
It was a very difficult time, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Kuomintang were like black clouds pressing down on the city, making everyone feel desperate. However, Jiang Tengjiao finally survived, he not only learned combat skills, but also cultivated a steely will, and finally survived with the troops.
Revolutionary veteran
By the time the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out, Jiang Tengjiao had gone from being a child revolutionary to a revolutionary veteran with a firm will. However, at this time, the situation changed again, because the Japanese invaded.
In the face of the terrible Japanese invaders, Jiang Tengjiao quickly adjusted his mentality and cooperated with the Kuomintang troops who were originally enemies of life and death.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he also served as an instructor and then as director of the Political Department.
During the entire War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Jiang Tengjiao did a very good job in political work, and he helped the soldiers unite the hearts and minds of the people, fight firmly, and make great contributions.
When the Liberation War broke out, Jiang Tengjiao once again served as the political department, and it is worth mentioning that he even became the director of the political department of the 115th Division. This was a unit that had done a miracle and fired the first victory.
But it was precisely because of this appointment that the result buried the introduction to Jiang Tengjiao's later tragedy. Because the leader of this unit was Lin Biao, the two eventually came together.
Jiang Tengjiao was a true revolutionary veteran, who had experienced almost all major events, and had always been determined to encourage soldiers to fight against the enemy, and made a lot of merit.
Because of this, at the time of the award ceremony in 1995, Jiang Tengjiao was awarded the rank of major general, when he was only 36 years old. It is really rare to be able to accept the glory of the motherland at the age of 36 among the founding generals, so there is absolutely no exaggeration to say that he is a magnificent teenager.
And, judging by his age and achievements, his future will definitely be indomitable, as if the future belongs to him.
However, the direction of history is not like this, on the contrary, it has gone to the other extreme.
The tragedy of error
I remember that the ancients once said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Although this is about life, it can also be applied to the official field. The process of going from a civilian to a major general can be difficult, but it can be done. But if you want to return to the common people from a major general, you have to give up fame and fortune, it is very rare.
Obviously, Jiang Tengjiao is like this. When he was engaged in revolution, he was full of enthusiasm and wanted to give everything for New China.
But after the founding of New China, he began to change his mentality, he no longer struggled for great ideals, but every day he thought about how to further promote himself. In order to realize these ambitions, he began to form gangs and even began to maliciously slander the revolutionary predecessors.
According to records, when Jiang Tengjiao was still working in the Nanjing Military Region, he actually wanted to frame General Xu Shiyou. This matter was very big, so I was so angry that even the chairman learned of this matter.
The chairman was very angry and commented in public: "Jiang Tengjiao is a person who cannot be reused. ”
The chairman's comments can be described as to the point, just like Liu Bei's comments on Wei Yan in the past, however, all this did not stop Jiang Tengjiao's impulse in the end.
After that, Jiang Tengjiao began to collude with Lin Biao and Jiang Qing, and he even became a major member of this counter-revolutionary group. It is really heart-wrenching to go to such a point just for the sake of ambition.
When the counterrevolutionary clique was overthrown, Jiang Waswolf was not only dismissed from his post and expelled from the party, but was sentenced to 18 years in prison in 1981.
The former major general suddenly became a sinner, and finally became helpless from the glory of the founding of the country to the helplessness of imprisonment, which is really lamentable.
However, our party has always been attached to the elderly, after all, Jiang Tengjiao made a lot of contributions to the founding of New China, plus he himself is indeed old. Therefore, the party eventually arranged for him to live in the Shanxi region.
It is worth mentioning that the party still took good care of him, not only gave him a house, but also paid him living expenses, which made the major general's life in his later years still good.
Although there is still a guarantee in his old age, this major general may not be happy, after all, once he has lost his footing, he has been hated for thousands of years, and his old age is in reflection and mourning.
On May 8, 2009, Major General Jiang Tengjiao died of illness in Beijing at the age of 90, ending his bumpy life.
brief summary
In the face of national difficulties, every young person should stand up, win glory for the country, and fight for the country. However, when we win glory for the country and win honors, we must be careful and cautious, and we must not fall short and become hated for eternity.
Honor is the recognition of the country for us, but what really makes us famous for eternity is our contribution to the country. So don't put the cart before the horse and end up going astray.
With thousands of years of Chinese history, how many people have held great power? And how many people can be remembered by history? In the end, it is a person like Bao Public Relations who cares about the people and serves the people, which has been passed down through the ages. Therefore, the pursuit of power and profit is not the essence, but serving the people is fundamental.
