Seriously, Zi Lisan was born in 1892 in a family of eunuchs in Nanzheng Street, Macheng, Hubei Province, but lost his father at a young age, and the family was very difficult. He studied hard, had ideals and ambitions, was admitted to the Anhui Army Primary School at the age of 16, graduated from the fifth phase of the Baoding Military Academy in 1918, participated in the establishment of the Whampoa Military Academy, and Deng Yanda was a classmate of Baoding, and Chiang Kai-shek was a student of Jin Yunpeng, and could also be said to be a brother in the division.
He was a prodigy of the Republic of China period, known as the "Huangpu Master" and "Famous General of the Northern Expedition", but he lived in seclusion in Lushan for a long time, and Chiang Kai-shek invited him out of the mountains many times, but was rejected. His tortuous life is full of legends.
severe
1. Chiang Kai-shek said that Yan Lisan's prestige among the students was even higher than that of me as the principal
In 1924, with the help of the Communist Party of China, Sun Yat-sen set out to establish the Whampoa Military Academy, where he was appointed as the head of the student corps and later as the director of the training department. He administered the army and his studies extremely strictly, giving three exercises and two lectures a day, and personally supervising him if there were no special circumstances.
Serious theory level is high, and has an amazing memory, every time the student is taught infantry drill code, without having to turn the book, you know the content of a certain page and a certain line in the book.
In daily life, serious concern for students, winter patrols, often cover those who pedal the quilt. When marching in the field, he, like his students, walked with a gun on his back, was fully armed, and never engaged in specialization. The student army loved and feared him and called him "Yan Mother-in-Law" behind his back.
He lived frugally, but if any student had difficulties in life, he was always generous.
At that time, a student in Yingshan, Hubei Province, was born in the countryside, that year of drought, his parents were old and sick, and his family wrote to him to send money home to live. After seriously knowing this matter, he asked the student to study with peace of mind, and privately mailed 20 yuan to his friend Fu Huicong, entrusting him to mail it to the student's parents. After the students knew, they wrote to Fu to thank him, and only then did they know that it was Captain Yan who helped.
Seriously with the school's Zhou Enlai, Nie Rongzhen, Ye Jianying and other communists, get along very well. He favored cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, treated the members of the two parties equally, and recommended appointments equally as long as the students were good enough.
Because of his profound knowledge, pioneering demonstration, and high moral integrity, his prestige among the teachers and students of the Whampoa Military Academy was quite high. In an election held by secret ballot for teachers and students held by Dr. Sun Yat-sen, he received the first place in the number of votes. This made President Jiang very emotional, he said: "It seems that Yan Lisan's prestige among the students is even higher than that of me as the principal. ”
2. Led the Northern Expedition, which bai Chongxi admired and broke with Chiang Kai-shek
In July 1926, the National Revolutionary Army swore an oath to the Northern Expedition. At this time, he was appointed as the director of the Recruit Training Department of the General Headquarters and the commander of the Twenty-first Division. Chen Cheng, Huang Wei, Song Xilian and other later senior Kuomintang generals were all in the Twenty-first Division at that time, serving as middle and lower commanders.
Bai Chongxi, commander-in-chief of the Eastern Road of the Northern Expeditionary Army, launched a fierce battle with Sun Chuanfang's troops at Baiyun Mountain, and the forward Xue Yuebu was repeatedly defeated and suffered heavy casualties, and the two sides entered a tug-of-war. Bai Chongxi was helpless and helpless about the current war situation.
Seriously took the initiative to fight, and led the Twenty-first Division into battle. Under the leadership of The Twenty-first Division, the soldiers of the Twenty-first Division bravely marched forward, and in only two days, they defeated Sun Chuanfang's troops.
The battle greatly infamous, and Zhuge Bai Chongxi, who admired him, said in public: "Yan Lisan is not only a rare military educator, but also a rare outstanding commander. Because of its excellent performance, the Twenty-first Division was rated as a model division in the Northern Expeditionary Army, and Chiang Kai-shek ordered the whole army to learn from the serious Twenty-first Division.
As the pace of Chiang Kai-shek's counter-revolution accelerated, serious contradictions with Chiang Kai-shek gradually emerged. At this time, Deng Yanda, the leader of the Kuomintang left faction and director of the Wuhan camp, was secretly plotting to overthrow Chiang Kai-shek and calling seriously to inquire about his attitude toward the National Revolution.
It is seriously clear that the revolution has not yet succeeded, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party should unite and complete the great cause of the revolution. This caused chiang kai-shek to be extremely uneasy, and Chiang vigorously promoted Yan's junior officer, his hometown of Zhejiang, Chen Cheng, in an attempt to replace him.
At this time, the outbreak of the Nanchang Uprising further deteriorated the relationship between Chiang Kai-shek and The Serious One. Chiang Kai-shek ordered a serious attack on Nanchang, and Yan always advocated cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists, and had very good personal relations with Zhou Enlai, Ye Ting, Dong Biwu, and others, and refused to march for a long time. This greatly annoyed Chiang Kai-shek, who was determined to take away Yan's military power.
Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek found a serious conversation and came up with a secret message that he had concocted with the words "Yan Deng confluence and overthrow Chiang Kai-shek." Serious is a man of integrity, and when he reads the telegram, he is very angry. He knew that this was Chiang Kai-shek's usual trick to exclude dissidents, and too much explanation was useless, so he took the opportunity to offer his resignation.
Seriously speaking, some time ago, the reason why we could not enter Nanchang was because of a "stomach attack" and could not continue to work. Chiang Kai-shek pretended to retain some time, and then asked who could take over and whether Chen Cheng could take over.
At this time, it was seriously understood that Chen Cheng, a young general who had been cultivated by himself, had long colluded with Jiang. Subsequently, he seriously handled the handover of work and moved to Baoding Leek Garden to live in his classmates' homes.
3. Living in the village of Taiyi in Lushan, Chiang Kai-shek asked him to come out of the mountain three times
In August 1927, during Chiang Kai-shek's first resignation from the field, he was seriously pushed by all sides, and once again served as the director of the Military and Political Department of the Central Military Commission, and the following year he became the director of the Civil Affairs Department of the Hubei Provincial Government. He actively promoted local autonomy, but there was a lot of resistance, and he resigned in anger, saying that he would no longer pay attention to politics and live in seclusion in Taiyi Village, Lushan.
Lushan Taiyi Village
In Taiyi Village, Lushan Mountain, a house was built in the north of the mountain, named Jiyuan, called himself Li Ding, grew his own vegetables, chopped firewood, cooked, and supported himself. His old subordinates had come to Taiyi Village many times to give money and materials, but they were all rejected one by one, which also led to his life being quite miserable.
While closing the door to guests, he concentrated on his academics and wrote a book called "University Discernment", which can be called a classic. Chiang Kai-shek and Dong Biwu had both requested books, and Liang Shuming, Qian Mu, Xiong Shili and other academic celebrities greatly respected their academic achievements. Liang Shuming, in particular, took "The Discernment of the University" as a fine reading list and carried it with him until it was taken away by the Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution.
In 1930, his serious friend Deng Yanda was killed by Chiang Kai-shek the following year for establishing the Provisional Action Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang. After seriously knowing this, he was very distressed and had a deep grudge with Jiang.
Deng Yanda Memorial Garden
A famous general of the Northern Expedition, he lived in Lushan for a long time. The outside world has a lot of criticism of this, and the pressure of public opinion is very large. Coupled with Deng Yanda's affairs, Chiang Kai-shek could not rest assured of seriousness. Jiang took advantage of the opportunity of a meeting in Lushan and twice went to Taiyi Village to visit Hime. Jiang came in through the front door, and Yan immediately slipped away from the back door, making Jiang very embarrassed.
Chen Bray and Chen Cheng believed that serious tasks were influential tasks and that it was not appropriate to live in seclusion for a long time, so they suggested to Chiang Kai-shek that in the name of "jointly building China," they should ask Serious to go out of the mountains to serve as military commanders, but they were strictly refused. Jiang also sent Chen Cheng to persuade him to serve as the director of the national anti-smoking campaign, but Yan resolutely disagreed.
After the signing of the "He Mei Agreement", he seriously and strongly opposed the Nanjing government's policy of foreign compromise, went north to Shaanxi, and paid homage to the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum. The north wind was gusting, and he stared at the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum, looked at this great river and mountain, and cried sadly. After the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, In the name of Mr. Bai, he went to Yan'an, met with Mao Zedong, and exchanged views with the leaders of the CPC Central Committee.
Seriously, he was an influential figure in the country at that time, and his series of practices in the north caused strong repercussions in the country. Chiang Kai-shek, under pressure and worried that He was too close to Yan'an, sent Chen Cheng to Lushan again to invite Him to go out of the mountain.
In the face of the national crisis, how could he sit idly by, he agreed to go out of the mountains, and offered to lead his troops to the battlefield. Chiang Kai-shek would not let him seriously grasp the military power, and after several twists and turns, Chiang appointed Chen Cheng to concurrently serve as chairman of Hubei Province and seriously act as chairman.
After seriously taking office, he boldly reformed, dismissed mediocre officials, hired new people, curbed corruption, carried out military training, and advocated a nationwide war of resistance. Hubei's political situation was shaken and became a strong fortress during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. After the retreat of Wuhan, the provincial government was seriously moved to Yichang.
Temporary
After the fall of Yichang, Chen Cheng was the commander of the Sixth Theater of Operations and stationed in Enshi. When the time was ripe, he resigned from his or her various posts. In 1942, he was seriously elected as a national suffragette and studied and farmed in the Changtan River in Xuan'en.
He was seriously diligent and honest in administration, never accepted gifts from his subordinates, and during his reign in Hubei, he did not even move the chairman's special office expenses. Therefore, the serious life was very hard, and when he died of illness, many people who knew him said that he was "bitter death".
During his illness, he sold his property because he had no money to pay for medical expenses. Chen Cheng helped to fund many times, but he refused. Lying on his hospital bed, he felt terminally ill, so he took up his pen and wrote down the five words "guilty to be cremated." On April 30, 1944, he died of great illness.
This is a serious life, not flattering the powerful, not loving the official position, not loving money, single-mindedly serving the country and the people, committed to academic articles, with achievements, integrity, and realms.
