The Nanchang Uprising, which took place on August 1, 1927, is also known as the August 1 nanchang Uprising. Although it was said to have failed, it greatly encouraged the revolutionary fighting spirit of the people of the whole country, and it also criticized Chen Duxiu's right-leaning capitulationism with practical actions.
In the Nanchang uprising, indeed a lot of things happened, for example, some generals chose to turn against us in the middle of the way, and later surrounded and suppressed our Chinese Red Army.
Cai Tingkai, I believe that many people should have heard this name, Cai Tingkai was born in 1892 in Luoding, Guangdong, at the age of 9, Cai Tingkai began to study, but 3 years later because of the death of his mother, he had no choice but to drop out of school.
After that, Cai Tingkai had to start working, after all, as a man, he had to take responsibility, usually he was working in the field, and he also had to follow his father to learn tailoring, perhaps it was because he had read books and experienced the heartache of life, so soon Cai Tingkai grew up, and his thinking underwent major changes, especially a "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" let him directly choose his own path in the future, that is, to join the army.
At that time, Cai Tingkai's family actually did not want him to become a soldier, after all, being a soldier was a dangerous job, and the family needed a man to control, but Cai Tingkai secretly went to join the new army with his father and wife.
But who would have thought that later Chiang Kai-shek chose to establish a separate central government, and even launched a massacre against our Chinese Communist Party, which also had a great impact on Cai Tingkai, because his faith began to collapse a bit, and finally Cai Tingkai decided to follow Ye Ting back to Guangdong and participate in the Nanchang Uprising.
In fact, before participating in the uprising, some comrades questioned it, believing that Cai Tingkai and our party actually did not have much contact with each other, so they were not worthy of trust, but General Ye Ting did their best to protect him, so Cai Tingkai participated in the uprising.
It is true that Cai Tingkai's troops still have many people, and each of them is a veteran who has participated in the Northern Expedition, so the combat effectiveness is naturally unquestionable, and it also played a very big role in the uprising, but who could have imagined that on the way south, Cai Tingkai suddenly wavered.
This is because when we were going south, our rebel army was frantically surrounded and suppressed by the Nationalist army, and the situation at that time was extremely severe, and then the Nationalist army sent Cai Tingkai's nephew out to persuade Cai Tingkai to surrender, and after some consideration, Cai Tingkai finally decided to break away from the rebel team and threw himself into the old superior Chen Mingshu.
At that time, there were still many members of our party in Cai Tingkai's troops, and later he ordered them to be driven out, which was still a good way to deal with them, after all, there was no choice to cause harm.
During the period of the agrarian revolution, Cai Tingkai also participated in the work of encircling and suppressing our Red Army; and in the Songhu War of Resistance, Cai Tingkai also played the appearance of a Chinese soldier, and was considered to be a "national hero of the anti-Japanese resistance", and was later awarded the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun by the National Government in Nanjing.
During the War of Liberation, Cai Tingkai and many democrats resolutely opposed Chiang Kai-shek's civil war policy, and during the new China period, Cai Tingkai also held many positions, such as vice chairman of the People's Promotion, vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and deputy director of the State Sports Commission.
Cai Shaozhi, the daughter of General Cai Tingkai, is also excellent, Cai Shaozhi graduated from Hubei University, served as a full-time deputy director of the Hubei Provincial Committee of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee, and is also a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
