On the eve of liberation, the Kuomintang army collapsed, and the high-level leaders headed by Chiang Kai-shek fled to Taiwan. According to common sense, Chiang Kai-shek should be at this time
Self-care
, only know that it is right to escape,
But he made a seemingly bizarre decision at such an urgent juncture.
This decision was Chiang Kai-shek's last order under the mainland, and the content of the order was also confusing.
This command is nothing else, exactly
Shelling the Admiral's Mansion.
After this order was given, Chiang Kai-shek fell into a difficult situation, and he almost became a prisoner of the order again. So why did Chiang Kai-shek take such a big risk to make this decision? It all starts at the beginning.
1. Liu Wenhui, King of Xikang
"Liu Wenhui"
Who is it? People may not be very familiar with it now, but on the eve of liberation, this name can be said to be known to everyone in Sichuan. In that era of imperialist invasion and the people's livelihood, in addition to the existence of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party,
Warlords are also very common.
Liu Wenhui was a warlord who occupied a side of the land at that time.
Unlike other suffering people, he received a relatively good education at an early age.
This also laid a good theoretical foundation for his future combat marches.
At first, Liu Wenhui was self-reliant on the top of the mountain, but later as the team expanded, Liu Wenhui joined the Sichuan Army.
He defected to Chiang Kai-shek
。 At first, Liu Wenhui did not feel that there was anything wrong with this, but gradually, Chiang Kai-shek's decadent thinking and style made him more and more disgusted.
Thus, he had the idea of breaking away from Chiang Kai-shek.
As Liu Wenhui's strength increased, his confidence became more and more sufficient, and finally, in the "Chiang-Tang Controversy," he chose to stand against Chiang Kai-shek. This move can also be regarded as a complete statement of his position.
Although Chiang Kai-shek is not a good person, the patron chosen by Liu Wenhui is also particularly unreliable.
Soon, Tang Shengzhi was there
Defeat
finish. Therefore, Liu Wenhui had to choose to live in a corner after being defeated and retreating, not only to endure the humiliation of his defeat, but also to watch his former nemesis Liu Xiang gradually develop with the help of Chiang Kai-shek.
Liu Xiang, with chiang Kai-shek's help, launched an encirclement and suppression of Liu Wenhui, and at this time Liu Wenhui could not defeat Liu Xiang and could only
Defeated
, to the remote Xikang. Here, with the remaining equipment and troops, he occupied a lot of territory and became
"King Xikang".
Second, ideological change
Liu Wenhui, who had experienced all this, was thoroughly aware of what kind of person Chiang Kai-shek was.
So he decided to completely break with Chiang Kai-shek.
However, at this time, Liu Wenhui's strength was weak, and the original troops also lost a lot.
So he could only recharge his batteries and wait for the day when the opportunity came.
Soon, the opportunity came. The Communist Party took note of Liu Wenhui and offered him the intention of cooperation.
Liu Wenhui had long heard that the Communist Party's thinking and policies were different from Chiang Kai-shek's, and after some thought, he happily agreed.
He became a major general of the Communist Party in the southwestern frontier.
The War of Resistance Against Japan was over, and with it came the War of Liberation.
In the War of Liberation, Chiang Kai-shek, in addition to pinning his hopes on his own regular army, pinned his hopes on scattered local warlords. whereas
Sichuan
As an important strategic base, it received the attention of Chiang Kai-shek.
The War of Liberation was raging, and Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang troops, although well-equipped, were soon overwhelmed by corrupt military discipline and decadent ideas
Defeated.
At this time, Chiang Kai-shek had already gone, but he was still not willing to concede defeat in this way.
Therefore, in the case of successive defeats, Chiang Kai-shek came to Sichuan, a military stronghold.
At this time, Chiang Kai-shek played the Ruyi abacus very loudly, and he planned to rest and reorganize the troops in Sichuan.
Then there was a duel with the Communists here.
Although the facts have long been placed in front of Chiang Kai-shek's eyes, he cannot win another victory, but at this time Chiang Kai-shek can be said to have lost his mind.
He also fantasized about being able to defeat the Communist Party.
Sichuan's terrain is dangerous, and Chiang Kai-shek's military strength at this time is not as good as before, so Chiang Kai-shek wants to fight in Sichuan.
It is necessary to co-opt the local warlords. Liu Wenhui, the king of Xikang, was naturally also included in Chiang Kai-shek's list of targets for solicitation.
Chiang Kai-shek wanted to bribe Liu Wenhui, and after saying everything nicely, he wanted him to contribute to himself.
As everyone knows, at this time, Liu Wenhui had long been a member of the Communist Party. At this time, Liu Wenhui could no longer fight for him and fight for him.
3. Form a vendetta against Jiang
At this time, although Chiang Kai-shek had illusions, he also understood that his general trend had gone, and it was still not easy to win over the warlords.
Especially Liu Wenhui, the king of Xikang, who has had a festival with himself,
It is also necessary to explore the innermost thoughts of the other party, so as to draw together.
At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek's confused approach also aroused the dissent of the generals in the army.
They believed that Chiang Kai-shek at this time should continue to retreat and cultivate and rectify in the Yunnan region. But where can Chiang Kai-shek listen,
At this time, he had long lost his judgment and reason, and insisted on going his own way.
But in the face of the objections of the generals, Chiang Kai-shek could not sit idly by, so he thought of a method.
It is to invite Liu Wenhui to the palace to discuss strategic priorities with everyone.
His purpose was twofold,
The first is to take the opportunity to probe Liu Wenhui's tone to see if the other party will help him, and the other is to hope that Liu Wenhui can speak for himself and persuade these generals.
After Liu Wenhui received an invitation from Chiang Kai-shek,
The heart is clear about his purpose,
However, it was not easy to show it, so he came to Chiang Kai-shek's mansion with a heavy heart. There, Chiang Kai-shek inquired into Liu Wenhui's thoughts, but Liu Wenhui was not deceived at all.
All of them played Tai Chi and fooled around.
When Chiang Kai-shek saw the situation, his heart gradually became anxious,
But there is no other way,
So he could only put Liu Wenhui back. However, the news relayed by the secret agents made Chiang Kai-shek fearful and angry.
It turned out that after Liu Wenhui returned, he planned to revolt and launch an attack on Chiang Kai-shek.
Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek intended to put pressure on Liu Wenhui.
But it is okay not to act, and one action will aggravate the tension in Liu Wenhui's heart.
Liu Wenhui waved a big hand, intending to revolt as quickly as possible.
In this way, Liu Wenhui united some forces,
Rise up.
At this time, chiang kai-shek could withstand such an offensive, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he fled for his life. However, Chiang Kai-shek's heart was still full of anger towards Liu Wenhui.
Therefore, he ordered that on the eve of his flight to Taiwan, Liu Wenhui's admiral's mansion be shelled to ease the anger in his heart.
summary
In this way, the Liu Mansion was blown up under Chiang Kai-shek's hands, but Liu Wenhui never cared about these external things.
It wasn't too sad.
More importantly, he felt that now that the War of Liberation had been won and the people had been reborn, that was enough.
Liu Wenhui's spirit vividly embodies the Communist Party's psychology of sacrificing itself and loving the people, how can this not make people move?
