As the saying goes, "a tiger father has no dog", to the effect that a good father does not give birth to a child of average ability, generally speaking, used to praise the children of others.
But in real life, there are always some children who are not angry and ruin the reputation of their fathers, such as Huang Baitao's son Huang Xiaoxian.
Huang Baitao was a tough general who served Lao Jiang, and he was considered to be the best among the senior generals of the Nationalist Army, and what his son Huang Xiaoxian did could make Lao Jiang sigh of "tiger father and dog son". What is the ultimate fate of Huang Xiaoxian, let's take a look at this character.
Jiang Jun's general Huang Baitao
Old Jiang had a set of people, he trusted and reused the generals of the concubine lineage, and he was very distrustful of those miscellaneous troops, and could not treat them equally, which was also one of the reasons for his failure.
Among the many senior generals of the Nationalist Army, who can be regarded as the concubines of old Chiang Kai-shek? Such as the Huangpu department, Jiangsu and Zhejiang department, people from these places will look up at the old Jiang, more likely to be reused than ordinary people.
It is worth mentioning that Huang Baitao is neither a Huangpu graduate nor a Jiangsu and Zhejiang department, so why can he gain the trust of Old Jiang and become the commander of the main army?
Soldiers want to get reused, the most direct, the most convincing is the number of battle achievements. Huang Baitao was born in a miscellaneous card, and in his early years he served as an officer under the warlord Zhang Zongchang, and was later recruited by the old Jiang.
At first, Huang Baitao became a miscellaneous card in the eyes of old Jiang, relieved him of his military powers, and sent him to Lu University for further study.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Huang Baitao was highly regarded by He Yingqin and Gu Zhutong for a military treatise, and served as the chief of staff of Gu Zhutong, commander of the Third Theater.
At the time of the Anhui Southern Incident, Huang Baitao was the vanguard, showed great strength, and later served as the commander of the 25th Army, and finally regained the power of the army. Huang Baitao knew in his heart that he was not an old Jiang Concubine, and if he wanted to climb up and keep his official position, he must work harder than those Huangpu students.
To be fair, Huang Baitao governs the army rigorously, can share weal and woe with soldiers, and has also trained the army, which is deeply loved by grass-roots soldiers.
During the Liberation War, Huang Baitao worked very hard and was a fierce enemy of our army, fighting with Su Yu many times, and there were casualties on both sides.
During the Battle of Menglianggu, Zhang Lingfu was under the leadership of Huang Baitao, and when he learned that Zhang Lone's army was deep and besieged by Meng Lianggu, Huang Baitao tried his best, but failed to break through the resistance of our army and could not join Zhang Lingfu.
Zhang Lingfu was killed in battle, the 74th Division was annihilated, and Old Jiang wanted to punish Huang Baitao, thanks to the protection of Gu Zhu and others, plus Huang Baitao himself did fight to the death, and finally Old Jiang only gave Huang a punishment of "removing from his post and staying in office".
It is still quite rare for Old Jiang to be so soft on miscellaneous generals, perhaps because Huang Baitao can fight and serve him, and Old Jiang cannot bear to blame. The Battle of Eastern Henan was the pinnacle of Huang Baitao, who was ordered to march west and was surrounded by our army with five columns.
If it was the general reorganized division of Chiang Kai-shek's army, it would be difficult to survive after being surrounded by five columns of our army, but Huang Baitao, with the spirit of his desperate resistance, fought with his subordinates for eight days and nights, and Huang Bu suffered heavy casualties and was wounded himself.
Just when Huang Baitao was desperate, Qiu Qingquan and Hu Lian came to the rescue, Su Yu was short of troops and chose to withdraw from the battlefield, and Huang Baitao escaped from the encirclement of our army.
Huang Baitao fought fiercely with our army for eight days and nights, cooperating with his friendly forces and forcing our army to temporarily retreat. Old Jiang was very happy when he learned of this, and at the Nanjing Military Conference, he awarded Huang Baitao the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun.
Many people may not know the gold content of the "Blue Sky and White Sun Medal", which has a very high gold content in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and unless there is a great merit in the war against Japan, this medal cannot be obtained.
During the Liberation War, Lao Jiang rewarded the Qingtian White Sun Medal to those senior generals who served him, such as Zhang Lingfu who took Lianshui, Chen Mingren who fought fiercely in Siping, and Huang Baitao, who fought fiercely with our army for eight days and nights, all of whom were recipients of the Qingtian White Sun Medal.
To be able to obtain the Qingtian White Sun Medal, to some extent, has been recognized by Lao Jiang, Huang Baitao is naturally very moved, can get the reuse of Old Jiang, indicating that he will serve his death in the future.
Interestingly, because Huang Baitao took the medal and Qiu Qingquan, who rescued him, did not get it, there was a contradiction between the two, which also became a small reason for Huang Baitao's defeat and death in the future.
After the Battle of Eastern Henan, old Chiang Kai-shek formally wanted to form the Seventh Corps, Huang Baitao became the commander of the corps, from the general of the miscellaneous army to the commander of the corps, Huang Baitao was indeed a fighter, although he did not play any decent results, but looking at the various integrated divisions of the Jiang Army, in terms of strength, it is difficult to surpass Huang Baitao.
After our army liberated Jinan, the Huaihai Campaign was launched, and Huang Baitao's Seventh Corps became Su Yu's first target of annihilation. The Seventh Corps did not retreat in time and was besieged by our army in The Mill Village.
After more than ten days of fierce fighting, although Huang Baitao desperately resisted and waited for reinforcements, Su Yu had already made arrangements, and the blocking troops effectively blocked the Qiu and Li corps, and the main force attacked with all its might. On November 22, 1948, our army eliminated the Seventh Corps, and Huang Baitao committed suicide with a gun in the face of no hope of breaking through.
A corps commander who did not graduate from the Whampoa Military Academy was the first to "kill and become a benevolent" for the old Chiang Kai-shek in the Liberation War.
Old Jiang was also quite touched to see Huang Baitao die in battle, and lamented at the funeral: "The spirit of Huangpu is not dead." Interestingly, Huang Baitao did not graduate from the Whampoa Military Academy, and the old Chiang kai-shek's use of Huang's death to talk about the so-called "Whampoa Spirit" also aroused the sneering ridicule of some people who disagreed with his political views.
"Tiger Father Dog Son"
Huang Baitao's wife is called Liu Biyun, with a son and a daughter, a son named Huang Xiaoxian, and a daughter named Huang Lizhen. Liu Biyun and Huang Baitao have a deep relationship, and when they learn that their husband has died in battle, they ask the Nationalist government to retrieve his body.
Liu Biyun found a cemetery for her deceased husband Huang Baitao and buried it in Xujiahui, Shanghai, Nanjing.
As our army broke through and liberated a large number of cities in the south, Liu Biyun fled with her children to Taiwan, where she sought survival. In Taiwan, the elder Jiang is still good to Huang Baitao's family, so that they have received the care they deserve.
Old Jiang had high expectations for Huang Baitao's son, Huang Xiaoxian, and gave him the opportunity to receive a good education and enter the military academy. Huang Xiaoxian lacked his father's discipline from an early age, did things recklessly, and after his courtship in the military was rejected, he drew a gun and killed the other party on the spot.
Because it was a special case, coupled with the son of Huang Xiaoxian's late general Huang Baitao, the court first sentenced Huang Xiaoxian to death. After Old Jiang learned of this, he lamented that Huang Xiao was first a "tiger father and dog", and there was no use in keeping him, and agreed to the death sentence.
How could Liu Biyun see that his son had been sentenced to death by shooting, and was determined to take out the Qingtian White Sun Medal and intercede with the old Jiang couple, asking them to spare Huang Xiaoxian's life for the sake of the late deceased husband who died for them. Old Jiang may have been grateful for Huang Baitao's military exploits, and he gave his order and sentenced his son Huang Xiaoxian to life imprisonment.
After Huang Xiaoxian changed his death sentence to indefinite imprisonment, it was rumored in Taiwan that the "Blue Sky and White Sun Medal" can save people's lives and is the "gold medal for avoiding death". Old Jiang was able to order Huang Xiaoxian's life to be spared, whether it was because of the medal, we do not know.
The fact that old Chiang kai-shek was able to change Huang Xiaoxian from the death penalty to an indefinite period of time shows that at that time, The old Chiang Kai-shek in Taiwan was speaking louder than the law and was still implementing his dictatorial policy.
Huang Xiaoxian was sentenced to life imprisonment, which is not the same as being imprisoned until death, and within a few years, under the operation of various parties, he was successfully released from prison.
Just as the so-called eating a crab grows a wisdom, Huang Xiao first changed his former wrongs and chose to engage in business. A few years later, Huang Xiaoxian, who had a good business, succeeded and moved to the United States with his family to live a happy little life.
epilogue
After Liu Biyun died, she was buried in Taiwan, accompanied by her husband's crown tomb, and failed to come to the mainland. On the Qingming Festival in 2006, Huang Xiao, who was already white-haired, came to Nanjing first to visit the tomb of his father, Huang Baitao.
For his father, Huang Xiaoxian was naturally grateful, if it were not for his father who died for the life of old Jiang, he would have been sentenced to death, and he would not have seen his success now.
Whether Huang Xiaoxian is a "tiger father and dog" remains to be considered, and his success in business has also proved that he is a capable person.
As he grew older, Huang Xiaoxian would presumably sweat for his impulsive shooting of others and regret it. Fortunately, Huang Xiaoxian is not an ordinary person, and old Jiang is also a lucky person to be able to spare his life by exception.
