Jiang Dengxuan is one of Zhang Zuolin's "Five Tiger Generals" (Five Tiger Generals: Jiang Dengxuan, Guo Songling, Han Linchun, Li Jinglin and Zhang Zongchang). Among the five people, Jiang Dengxuan followed Zhang Zuolin the latest, and only joined Zhang Zuolin at the age of 42. At the age of 46, he was shot and killed by Guo Songling for the benefit of Zhang Zuolin. It is said that in the end, he died a tragic death, and anyone who saw it would shed tears for it, in addition to lamenting, it was more touched by his "loyalty".
Jiang Dengxuan was hired as the General Counselor of Fengjun in 1922, which became a fierce general under Feng Zhang. It is said that Jiang and Guo once belonged to Zhu Qinglan's department and were old friends, and after they surrendered, they should take care of each other, but why did they make such a stiff fight, and finally Guo Songling shot Jiang Dengxuan? Starting from the factions to which they belonged, the Feng clan could be divided into three factions, one was the so-called "Elder Faction" that had been raised and started with Zhang Zuolin, the other was the so-called "Non-Commissioned Officer Faction" that had been fostered up by the Elder Faction, and the last faction was the "Lu Da Faction."
Although Jiang Dengxuan was a member of the non-commissioned officer department, he was reluctant to get involved in internal struggles. Within the Fengjun Army, he was also a person who could speak with all factions, and he was also willing to mediate contradictions between various factions. Therefore, Guo Songling also very much wanted to win him over, and Guo Songling, who originally did not like to play cards, set up a special card game to invite Jiang Dengxuan, but Jiang Dongquan expressed his unwillingness to get involved in the mud pit of factional struggle, and Guo Songling had to give up.
Jiang Dengxuan's luck at that time was really bad, if he set off early, then he might have returned to Fengtian earlier, if he left late, then he might have been detained by Li Jinglin in Tianjin and would not have met Guo Songling, so he would not have died, so this can only be said to be fate. After Guo Songling was defeated, Jiang Dengxuan's good friend Han Linchun went to Luanzhou to help him clean up, it is said that after opening the coffin, he found scratches in the coffin, so it is likely that Jiang Deng did not die immediately after the bullet was selected, but was suffocated alive in the coffin, and the death can be said to be very miserable.
