During the War of Resistance Against Japan, The highest command system in China was the Military Commission, and the leader of it was naturally Chiang Kai-shek, so he was also known as Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. If you have a full-time position, you will definitely have a deputy post, and the person who serves as vice chairman is Feng Yuxiang.
However, although the title of vice chairman looks very high, and Feng Yuxiang is Chiang Kai-shek's eldest brother, in fact, he does not have any real power, just a vain name. But in fact, Feng Yuxiang, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army in the early years, was a big man with 400,000 soldiers and horses, and there was a reason why he fell to this point today.
Feng Yuxiang became a soldier when he was 15 years old, because his uncle Lu Jianzhang was a high official in the Beiyang warlord clique, so Feng Yuxiang's promotion path was very smooth. Until Lu Jianzhang was killed by the Anhui warlord Xu Shuzheng, Feng Yuxiang, who had no support, joined the direct warlord.
After the outbreak of the Zhiwan War, Feng Yuxiang was ordered to enter Shaanxi to fight, and he took advantage of the situation to develop his own forces in the great northwest, and finally organized the northwest army. What's more, in the Second Battle of Zhifeng, Feng Yuxiang directly drove straight into Beijing, not only directly put Cao Kun under house arrest, but also directly drove Emperor Puyi out of the Forbidden City, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
At the same time, Feng Yuxiang was also very close to Sun Yat-sen. At that time, Sun Yat-sen put forward the three major policies of "uniting with Russia, uniting with the Communist Party, and supporting peasants and workers", which Feng Yuxiang was very supportive of, so he began to devote himself to the National Revolution, and his troops were also reorganized into the Second Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and participated in the Northern Expedition. In order to win over his relationship with Feng Yuxiang and others, Chiang Kai-shek began to worship Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, and others as brothers with different surnames.
After the victory of the Northern Expedition, the Central Plains War broke out soon after, and this time Feng Yuxiang and Chiang Kai-shek became enemies. But although Feng Yuxiang united with Yan Xishan, Li Zongren, Zhang Fakui and other warlords, the final victory still belonged to Chiang Kai-shek. Moreover, the troops of Feng Yuxiang and others were all absorbed by Chiang Kai-shek to varying degrees. Among them, the most tragic is Feng Yuxiang, the number of the Northwest Army has been directly canceled, and Feng Yuxiang himself has directly become a light rod commander.
Without military power, there is no right to speak, so Feng Yuxiang actually only has a false name left in the political circles. However, considering that politics needs social influence, Chiang Kai-shek did not directly expel Feng Yuxiang from the political arena, but let him serve as vice chairman. Although on the surface Feng Yuxiang's status is second only to Chiang Kai-shek, in fact, clear-eyed people know that this is just a fictitious position. In addition, this is also a good way for Chiang Kai-shek to spy on Feng Yuxiang, in case he makes a comeback after he flees to other places.
