The ancients had a saying, often used to describe the emotions between people, called "it is easy to share hardships and hardships, and it is difficult to share happiness." This means that the feelings between two people are very good, no matter how big the storm, they can resist together, which can be described as brothers with one heart and one heart. However, when they succeed, they cannot enjoy the riches together.
During the Republic of China period, Li Zongren used this sentence to evaluate Chiang Kai-shek and the so-called "brotherly relationship" that Chiang Kai-shek established with him.
In 1926, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, the leaders of the Gui clan, decided to unite with Chiang Kai-shek in the Northern Expedition. To this end, Chiang Kai-shek appointed Li Zongren as the commander of the Seventh Army of the National Revolutionary Army.
During the Northern Expedition, in order to get closer to Li Zongren, a partner, Chiang Kai-shek, as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition, approached Li Zongren and asked in a kind language: "Delin, how old are you this year?" ”
German is the word for Li Zongren, and the word Chiang Kai-shek called Li Zongren is a very kind way of expression. When Li Zongren heard Chiang Kai-shek come, he was stunned at first, and then replied: "I was born in the seventeenth year of Guangxu, and I am now Chinese New Year's Eve seven years old." ”
Chiang Kai-shek smiled slightly, showed a rare expression, and said: "I am a thirteen-year-old Guangxu person, and I am four years older than you." ”
After saying that, Chiang Kai-shek turned around and took out a piece of red paper in the drawer, which was a written orchid score. Lan Pu was a kind of relic of that era, and the two sides exchanged Lan Pu and became the brother of Yi Jie Jinlan.
When Li Zongren saw that Chiang Kai-shek had come with him like this, he was somewhat flattered and refused: "Commander-in-Chief, this cannot be done." Our status is very different, I am your subordinate, but I dare not climb high. Moreover, we are a revolutionary army, and we have never paid attention to these things in the dry revolution? ”
Chiang Kai-shek said with a determined expression: "Revolution is revolution, worship is worship, and the two things are not in conflict." I see that brother Deling is talented and ambitious, so I must hand over you as a brother. You go back, hurry up and write a blue score, and then give it to me. ”
After saying that, Chiang Kai-shek once again showed his former majestic expression, as if he had to agree with the momentum, otherwise he would not give me face.
After Li Zongren returned, he told Bai Chongxi about this matter, including the sentence mentioned above, saying that Chiang Kai-shek "shared hardships and hardships, and shared happiness and happiness." For this evaluation, Bai Chongxi expressed great recognition.
During the Northern Expedition, the National Revolutionary Army, formed by Chiang Kai-shek and Li Zongren, was in a strong position, uniting with Feng Yuxiang's and Yan Xishan's troops in the north and fighting all the way to Shanhaiguan.
Zhang Zuolin, the leader of the Feng clan, had to retreat to the northeast because of the Northern Expedition of the Revolutionary Army, and was killed by the Japanese in Huanggutun while taking the train back to Fengtian.
In the course of the Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi led their Gui generals to make an indispensable contribution. After winning one victory after another, the Gui clique led by Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi has gradually become bigger and stronger.
After the victory of the Northern Expedition, Chiang Kai-shek did fulfill Li Zongren's original sentence that "it is easy to share hardships and hardships, and it is difficult to share peace and happiness." In order to enjoy the fruits of the victory in the Northern Expedition, Chiang Kai-shek reorganized the armies of Li Zongren, Yan Xishan, and Feng Yuxiang on the pretext of reducing military expenditures.
In the process of reorganizing his troops, Chiang Kai-shek only reduced the number of troops of Li Zongren, Yan Xishan, and Feng Yuxiang, but did not decrease but increase the number of troops of his own National Revolutionary Army.
Such an approach naturally touches the interests of others. The victory in the Northern Expedition War is not the credit of your old Jiang alone, and none of us Li Zongren, Yan Xishan, and Feng Yuxiang have contributed less, so why should you let your old Jiang enjoy his success alone?
It was precisely because of the interests of the other three military factions that two years later, Chiang Kai-shek and the coalition of three other people had a major war, that is, the Central Plains War that broke out in 1930.
The Battle of the Central Plains lasted for half a year, and just when the two sides were fighting on the battlefield, Zhang Xueliang, a young marshal in the northeast, sent a clever telegram expressing support for Chiang Kai-shek in the open and in the dark. At this point, the Central Plains War ended, and Chiang Kai-shek became the final victor of laughter.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1938, due to the numerous factions within chiang kai-shek's clique, including Chiang Kai-shek's troops, the various units could be described as alienated from Germany. Based on this background, Chiang Kai-shek, under compulsion, appointed Li Zongren as the supreme commander of the Fifth Theater.
During this period, Li Zongren led all the soldiers of the Fifth Theater of Operations to carry out a tenacious and indomitable struggle against the Japanese. The famous "Great Victory of Taierzhuang" during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was created by all the soldiers of the Fifth Theater under The Command of Li Zongren.
As Chiang Kai-shek's brother-in-law, Li Zongren and Chiang Kai-shek experienced several divisions and mergers. Yesterday I was still wearing a pair of pants, but today I suddenly drew my knife to meet each other.
During the Liberation War, Chiang Kai-shek once again revealed the style of "whoever moves my cheese, I want his dog's life." In 1948, the National Government in Nanjing conducted a presidential election, and Chiang Kai-shek's election as president was a foregone conclusion, but for the election of vice president, it became a confusing matter.
Lee stepped forward and ran for vice president. As the head of the Gui military clique, Li Zongren's campaign put tremendous pressure on Chiang Kai-shek.
Chiang Kai-shek's wish was that a man who had no influence in the army would become vice president, so that he would be arbitrarily manipulated by Chiang Kai-shek and would not have an impact on his dictatorship.
As the head of the Gui clique, Li Zongren had great influence in the army, second only to Chiang Kai-shek. In other words, once Li Zongren is elected vice president, he will put pressure on Chiang Kai-shek politically and in the control of the army. For Chiang Kai-shek, who only wanted to engage in dictatorial rule, he was unwilling to accept it under any circumstances.
Chiang Kai-shek personally warned this good brother who was married to Jinlan and explicitly told him not to run for vice president, but Li Zongren did not listen. In the subsequent vice presidential campaign, Li Zongren overpowered Sun Yat-sen's son Sun Ke and successfully ran for vice president of the National Government in Nanjing.
As a result, Chiang Kai-shek was killed by this good brother of the righteous knot Jinlan, and sent agents to prepare to eliminate the other party in secret. However, this was not the first time Chiang Kai-shek had assassinated Li Zongren, nor was it the last. It is understood that Chiang Kai-shek sent spies three times to plan to kill Li Zongren.
The first time was in 1929, after the victory of the Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army, Chiang Kai-shek tried to weaken the power of the Gui military clique, and the best way was to take the Gui leader Li Zongren to open the knife. Although Li Zongren has long since become Chiang Kai-shek's brother-in-law, this does not prevent Chiang Kai-shek from killing people for the sake of profit.
Agents sent by Chiang Kai-shek tracked Down Li Zongren and waited for an opportunity to attack Li Zongren. Unfortunately, the actions of the secret agents were discovered by Li Zongren, who was extremely alert, and the guards around him. After Li Zongren escaped from the pursuit of the agents, he fled Nanjing by boat and returned to Guangxi by sea.
The second time was in 1948, when Chiang Kai-shek was deposed, and Li Zongren was temporarily replaced by vice president as acting president. Although Chiang Kai-shek was nominally out of the opposition, he still controlled the real power of the Nationalist government in Nanjing, and once again sent agents to assassinate Li Zongren.
This time, the assassination mission fell on Shen Drunk, one of the leaders of the Kuomintang secret service. Shen Drunk was once the most trusted figure around Dai Kasa, and after Dai Kasa's death, Shen Drunk became the most influential figure among the Kuomintang agents besides Mao Renfeng.
Shen's drunken appearance proved Chiang Kai-shek's firm determination to get rid of Li Zongren. At that time, Li Zongren's identity was the acting president of the National Government in Nanjing, so Chiang Kai-shek demanded that this assassination operation must be foolproof and unconscious.
In order not to let this assassination have a wider impact, Chiang Kai-shek asked Shen Intoxicated not to complete the assassination operation in the city of Nanjing, but to carry out li Zongren while he was out.
Shen Zui dispatched a large number of secret agents to make comprehensive and meticulous arrangements for the sea, highway, and aviation around Nanjing, and as long as Li Zongren went out, he would secretly harm the heavenly nets arranged by Shen Zui.
Unexpectedly, Acting President Li Zongren during that time never left Nanjing, and even his own official residence rarely left.
At that time, the three decisive battles during the War of Liberation had come to an end, and the Kuomintang clique was in danger. Under such circumstances, Chiang Kai-shek informed Shen Intoxi to abandon his plan to assassinate Li Zongren in order to hand over the mess within the Kuomintang to Li Zongren.
The third assassination was in 1965, after the Kuomintang clique defeated Taiwan, Li Zongren did not follow Chiang Kai-shek to Taiwan, but chose to go into exile overseas and went to the United States.
After staying in the United States for more than ten years, Li Zongren saw that the development of the motherland was getting better and better, and his desire to return to the motherland began to become stronger and stronger in his heart. When Chairman Mao threw out his willingness to return to the motherland and expressed "welcome to return to China, warm welcome", Li Zongren embarked on a journey to return to the motherland in 1965.
When Li Zongren's plane arrived in Pakistan to prepare for a transit, many agents sent by Chiang Kai-shek were hidden in the waiting hall of Pakistan. These agents had only one goal, that is, to prepare to get rid of Li Zongren and prevent him from returning to the mainland of the motherland.
All this was discovered in advance by the agents of our Party. Premier Zhou specially instructed that Li Zongren's personal safety must be protected and ensured that he can return safely and smoothly to the embrace of the mainland of the motherland.
Premier Zhou also dispatched a special plane, and under the careful protection of China's secret service personnel, Li Zongren took the special plane dispatched by Premier Zhou and smoothly returned to the motherland. At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek sent agents for the third time to assassinate Li Zongren, which once again declared bankruptcy.
In this way, the leader of the Gui clique and former senior Kuomintang general who had befriended Chiang Kai-shek as a brother with a different surname survived nine deaths under Chiang Kai-shek's three assassination attempts.
