Among Chiang Kai-shek's five tiger generals, this tiger is the most controversial, and some people say that he relied on women to ascend to the throne
Speaking of Chiang Kai-shek's tiger generals, I believe that everyone is no stranger, they are the Fu general Liu Zhi, the cadre general Chen Cheng, the loyal general Gu Zhutong, the flying general Jiang Dingwen, and the tiger general Wei Lihuang. These five generals were all the most effective cadres in Chiang Kai-shek's early days, and they all made many military achievements in the Northern Expedition, the Central Plains War, and the warlord melee, especially Liu Zhi was called the Changsheng General, and was known as Chiang Kai-shek's early firefighting captain.
Not to mention, Chen Cheng was valued by Chiang Kai-shek during his time at the Whampoa Military Academy, and he was also a zhejiang person, so he was particularly valued by Chiang Kai-shek. Gu Zhutong and Jiang Dingwen also won the favor of Chiang Kai-shek because they achieved a series of victories on the battlefield. Wei Lihuang, who is known as the Tiger General, is the most controversial of Chiang Kai-shek's Five Tiger Generals. Worthy of the title of tiger general, why has he become the most controversial one! Why do some people say that he came to power by women!
Jiang Dingwen
Let's first take a look at what controversies Wei Lihuang has? He was neither a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy, nor a Baoding student, nor a zhejiang native, but he was highly valued by Chiang Kai-shek. It should be known that several other tiger generals are Baoding students, and they have served as instructors at the Whampoa Military Academy, and they are also backbone personnel belonging to the Whampoa department, which meets Chiang Kai-shek's employment standards. Wei Lihuang, however, did not meet Chiang Kai-shek's employment standards, but instead became one of the Five Tiger Generals, and later became a high-ranking official. This is also one of Wei Lihuang's controversies, so why he was reused by Chiang Kai-shek, and I will talk about it later.
Wei Lihuang controversy two; During the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wei Lihuang was the most capable general among Chiang Kai-shek's Five Tiger Generals. It may be that Liu Zhi was the best at fighting during the Northern Expedition, but this tiger general was instigated to face the Japanese Kou, including the flying tiger Jiang Dingwen, who was also nailed to the column of shame. Only Wei Lihuang performed well during the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and was known as a tiger general, and it was the Japanese who called him a tiger general. It is also enough to prove that during the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, among Chiang Kai-shek's five tiger generals, Wei Lihuang was a real anti-Japanese famous general.
Wei Lihuang
Wei Lihuang controversy three, during the eight-year War of Resistance, as a senior officer of the Nationalist Army, he was the closest to the Eighth Route Army, and also gave some military help, and had a very good relationship with Zhu Laozong, Peng Laozong, Mao Grandpa, Zhou Gong and others. Some people even say that he is an underground party comrade of our army, a hidden general on the hidden front. This theory is that in the northeast battlefield during the Liberation War, when Wei Lihuang was the commander-in-chief of the northeast bandits. However, after he took office, he only defended and did not attack, missing the best record, so there was a saying circulating at that time, Wei Lihuang was an underground comrade of our party.
Wei Lihuang disputed four, after Chiang Kai-shek's defeat, the former five tiger generals all fled with Chiang Kai-shek. However, only Wei Lihuang remained on the mainland and received preferential treatment from our party. Logically, the people who can be called the Five Tiger Generals of Chiang Kai-shek should all be concubines or confidant generals, but Wei Lihuang is not.
How did Wei Lihuang, who was not Chiang Kai-shek's confidant, get used by Chiang Kai-shek! This has a lot to do with the woman behind Wei Lihuang, it can be said that Wei Lihuang is reused by Chiang Kai-shek by taking the wife route, of course, he also has some skills, but his wife Zhu Yunheng provided him with a platform.
Zhu Yunheng
Zhu Yunheng was a talented woman during the Republic of China period who once studied in the United States. Therefore, becoming friends with Chiang Kai-shek's wife, Soong Mei Ling, may be that both of them have a background in the United States, and both believe in Jesus, so they become good sisters. Wei Lihuang relied on the relationship between his wife Zhu Yunheng and Song Meiling that made him gain the weight of Chiang Kai-shek. Including Wei Lihuang, who was later promoted to commander of the theater and concurrently served as the chairman of Henan Province, he had a credit to his wife.
Therefore, among Chiang Kai-shek's five tiger generals, Wei Lihuang is the most controversial tiger general, and he can be reused by Chiang Kai-shek, and his wife Zhu Yunheng has played a great role behind it, so some people say that Wei Lihuang relied on women to ascend to the throne. His wife did provide great help, but it was also up to Wei Lihuang to fight for qi, and if there was no contending, it would be futile to have no real talent and practical learning.
