He Yingqin, commander-in-chief of the Nationalist Army: After the founding of New China, why didn't the superiors accept this person's surrender?
On New Year's Day 1949, within the Kuomintang, a turbulent upheaval occurred. Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, and He Yingqin joined forces to force the palace. Suddenly, Old Jiang was distraught. After losing a number of elite generals, his strength was greatly reduced. Gui Shi had always been at odds with himself, but how could he not have thought of it? He Yingqin actually mixed it up. As the second in command of the Nationalist army and the former commander-in-chief of the Chinese Theater Army, He Yingqin was treated favorably by the elder Chiang Kai-shek. What kind of discord occurred between the two? After the founding of New China, He Yingqin sat in the southwest, and our side let out words such as "only not to accept his surrender." Such a person is really curious.
Join the revolution
On April 2, 1890, He Yingqin was born in Xingyi, Guizhou. In his poor hometown, he had a solid family. With the support of his parents, he went all the way to school and went very smoothly. In 1907, the Guiyang Army School enrolled students in the province. At the age of 17, he has a passion for blood, and his compulsive physical fitness is also optimistic about the instructor. In this way, he came to the military academy. He Yingqin chose the road of military service, and he also went all the way.
In a year, he studied hard and practiced very well, and every subject was exceptionally good. After all, Guizhou is a corner of the southwest, and he has a greater ideal in his heart. The following year, he went to Wuchang Army Middle School. He Yingqin is introverted and does not like to interact with people. He often buries his head in books and likes to go to the training ground. Compared to his peers, he showed great talent and mind. To a certain extent, he was a military genius.
On the other hand, the stormy Qing court is depleting its troops. In 1909, He Yingqin was selected by the Qing court and sent to Japan to study. He was admitted to the Zhenwu School in Japan with the first place. In the eyes of Japanese teachers at that time, this was very rare. Zhenwu School is an old school, and there are also many Chinese students here. Chiang Kai-shek also studied here, only one grade higher than He Yingqin. Therefore, the friendship between the two began from here.
At the age of 20, He Yingqin and Chiang Kai-shek both had patriotic enthusiasm. One was born in southwest Guizhou and the other came from wealthy Zhejiang. Soon, they were all affected by the Alliance. At the end of 1909, He Yingqin joined the League. In Japan, he continued to seize the opportunity to study and make up for theoretical deficiencies. In 1911, the Xinhai Revolution was successful. He Yingqin and Chiang Kai-shek returned to China together, and the two were assigned to the command of Chen Qimei in Shanghai.
The Northern Expedition was a hero
He Yingqin wanted to show his skills, but the Beiyang faction stole the fruits of the revolution. After the defeat in the War against Yuan, the revolutionary situation changed suddenly. As a young man, he had to travel east to Japan and relearn military affairs. This time, he transferred to the prestigious Army Non-Commissioned Officer School. He Yingqin began to be a scientist in infantry, and he became more diligent and solid. In the autumn of 1916, he returned to Guizhou and supervised the new army for the Guizhou warlord Liu Xianshi.
The following year, he married Liu Xianshi's niece and further acquired resources. At that time, there was an entanglement within the Qian army. He Yingqin immediately contacted Sun Yat-sen, who participated in the Northern Expedition as the leader of the new faction. In November 1920, he directed the "Minjiu" Incident. In 1922, he taught at the Yunnan Daowu Hall. Under his influence, a group of young talents enthusiastically revolutionized. In January 1924, He Yingqin was invited to go south to Guangzhou.
He was an old man of the League, and he was a classmate of Chiang Kai-shek, and the relationship between the two became increasingly close. During the founding of the Whampoa Military Academy, He Yingqin actively participated. Using his personal prestige, he recruited a group of teachers from The provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou. Like Liao Zhongkai, he was favored by Mr. Sun. In the summer of 1924, he was awarded the rank of major general and served as deputy chief instructor of the Whampoa Military Academy. He Yingqin was harsh and harsh in his teachings. Under his training, Whampoa students have a solid foundation and are full of heroes. This is also his contribution to the Chinese revolution.
In 1925, He Yingqin served as the commander of the First Division of the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army. In the midst of the rebellion of the Guangzhou merchant group, he reacted in time and suppressed it at the first time. In September, the Guangzhou warlord Chen Jiongming rebelled. Chiang Kai-shek and He Yingqin immediately sent troops to fight. During the Eastern Crusade, old Chiang's command was improper, and he was besieged by the enemy. Despite his luck, he was overwhelmed. He Yingqin performed brilliantly. The first regiment led by him fought successive battles and annihilated Chen Jiongming's elite in one fell swoop.
Commander-in-Chief of the Nationalist Army
During the Second Crusade, Chiang Kai-shek served as the commander-in-chief, and He Yingqin, Li Jishen, and Cheng Qian were the commanders of the Three Roads. It can be seen from this that He Yingqin has a lofty status, and he is also regarded as a confidant by Lao Jiang. In July 1926, He Yingqin led the First Army to participate in the Northern Expedition. He was full of troops and fierce generals. On the way to the Northern Expedition, he conquered five provinces in succession. He Bu set out from Guangdong, directly into Fujian, Zhejiang, Shanghai, and finally captured Nanjing.
After the Northern Expedition, He Yingqin and Chiang Kai-shek came to a boat. They seized the supreme power of the Kuomintang and massacred our Communist predecessors. On April 12, 1927, Chiang and He staged a coup d'état. Suddenly, Both Shanghai and Nanjing were plunged into white terror, and a large number of underground comrades were slaughtered. On the eve of the coup, He Yingqin's 26th Army entered Shanghai. He secretly controlled the traffic and searched for a list. After that, they launched attacks on the workers' pickets in Shanghai and Nanjing, and all the members of our Party were arrested and killed. As a result, he became our eternal enemy.
Politically, He Yingqin also has his own ambitions. In 1928, Wang Jingwei joined forces with the Gui clan to challenge the old Jiang. Seeing that the situation was not right, he also turned against him. This made Old Jiang jealous of him. In 1930, the Central Plains War broke out, and the old Jiang had no choice but to reuse him. After perceiving Old Jiang's thoughts, He Yingqin tried his best to make up for it. He actively expanded his military strength and strengthened the strength of the Whampoa clan. In the following years, he personally led people to encircle and suppress the Red Army. It can be said that this is all his speculation.
In 1935, He Yingqin negotiated on behalf of the Nationalist government and the Japanese army. On important issues such as Northeast China and North China, he willingly carried the black pot and signed the infamous "He Mei Agreement." The following year, the Xi'an Incident broke out. He Yingqin ignored dissuasion, and he repeatedly threatened to wash Chang'an in blood and solve the problem by force. It can be said that he did not think a little about the issue of national righteousness and so on. During this period, he also deliberately framed Zhang and Yang, and also intended to replace Lao Jiang.
After the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out in full swing, He Yingqin repeatedly persuaded Chiang Kai-shek to passively resist. As a pro-Japanese faction, he was well aware of the gap between the two armies and was unwilling to take responsibility. In 1942, he became Commander-in-Chief of the Nationalist Army. Above the big seat, he also does not work, which is really chilling. When civil war broke out in 1946, He Yingqin had long been excluded. In May 1949, he was sent by Lao Jiang to Guangzhou to hold firm. Soon after, he retired to Chengdu.
epilogue
After the founding of New China, the great man issued an order that he would never accept this person's surrender. He Yingqin also became one of the most important war criminals. Unfortunately, he still escaped from the mainland and has been living in Taiwan in his later years.
He Yingqin was a diehard in the civil war and a weak faction in the War of Resistance. As a teenager, he still had patriotic enthusiasm. But as he grew older, he became more focused on personal interests and power. Therefore, there is not much gap between him and Wang Jingwei and others. In terms of national righteousness, he is far inferior to old Chiang Kai-shek. Despite his extremely high qualifications, his narrow-mindedness is doomed to the end.
