In this world, many things and many characters are not black and white, and we should look at it dialectically, and work is work, and passing is wrong. For example, Lin Zong, one of the founding marshals, had few military achievements before the founding of the country, but after the founding of the country, he made serious mistakes in politics.
There is also a general who joined the Red Army at the age of 11, sacrificed his life and forgot his death in the war many times, the most powerful one was that he was shot in the abdomen and did not go to medical treatment, he used his hands to cut out the bullets and then led the troops to fight, the revolutionary will can not be described as resolute.
However, after rising from his post, he lost himself and began to embark on a wrong path of greeting, and was repeatedly evaluated by Chairman Mao as "not reusable", and he was the founding major general Jiang Tengjiao.
Jiang Tengjiao was born in 1919 in Hong'an, Hubei Province, Hong'an is the source of the jute uprising, but also the "first county of the generals" in later New China, the revolutionary atmosphere is very strong, growing up in such an environment, Jiang Tengjiao's thinking is also very progressive.
In 1930, Jiang Tengjiao joined the Red Army, because he was too young to join the party, so he first joined the Communist Youth League, but don't look at him only 11 years old, before joining the army, he was the captain of the children's regiment in the county, and he had certain experience in struggle, so his later development was also much faster than that of his peers, and in just a few years he became the secretary of the Children's Bureau of Pi'annan County in the Eyu-Anhui Soviet District.
At the beginning of 1934, jiang Tengjiao's Red 25th Army left the old Soviet area to move toward western Anhui due to the needs of the situation, and The 15-year-old Jiang Tengjiao could not follow the high-intensity march of the large army due to leg injuries, and could only stay.
He was first arranged to join the Plainclothes Team of Hekou County, and later, when his legs were better, he went with the crowd to Gao Jingting.
Gao Jingting was an excellent guerrilla expert, rebuilding the Red 28th Army after the main Long March, initially with only about 1,000 people. However, he was a cattle man, and in the past 3 years of arduous guerrilla warfare, not only was not destroyed by the enemy, but the troops were also developed to more than 3,000 people, and the results of annihilating more than 5,000 enemy personnel were achieved, and the border area of Eyu and Anhui was expanded.
Under the leadership of Gao Jingting, Jiang Tengjiao's ability was also rapidly improved.
In February 1938, the Red 28th Army and the Southern Henan Red Army guerrillas were merged into the 4th Detachment of the New Fourth Army, with Gao Jingting as the detachment leader, and Jiang Tengjiao had grown into a platoon-level cadre of the 8th Regiment of the 4th Detachment.
In July 1939, the Jiangbei Headquarters of the New Fourth Army was expanded into the 5th Detachment on the basis of the 8th Regiment of the 4th Detachment, and Jiang Tengjiao was immediately promoted to a company-level cadre. After only two months, Jiang Tengjiao became a battalion-level cadre with his merits in the battle of An County, and this speed can be called a rocket!
Later, the headquarters of the five detachments encountered danger, and Jiang Tengjiao rushed to the rescue and successfully repelled more than 200 enemies and captured a pistol of the Japanese captain.
This matter was known to the reporter, so he went to interview him, the exchange went very smoothly, the reporter asked to take a close-up of the booty, Jiang Tengjiao happily took out the gun and handed it over.
As a result, the pistol insurance was not closed, the reporter was not familiar with the gun, which led to the misfire, the bullet hit Jiang Tengjiao's ammunition belt, and after detonation, three warheads fell into Jiang Tengjiao's abdomen.
Jiang Tengjiao did not blame the reporter and endured the pain to cut out one of them, but the other two needed surgery to remove because of their depth. Unfortunately, at this time, I received a combat mission.
Han Deqin, deputy commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang Sulu Theater, took advantage of the fact that the main force of the fifth detachment of the New Fourth Army was outside, mobilized eight regiments to prepare to attack the Jiangbei Headquarters of the New Fourth Army, and his superiors ordered Jiang Tengjiao to lead his troops to block the attack.
In the face of the great enemy, Jiang Tengjiao could not care about the pain, and took a battalion to the top. Although the enemy is outnumbered, the will to fight between the two sides is not the same. The Nationalist army looks like there are eight regiments, but they are basically local security regiments, and they bully the common people at most on weekdays, and it is really impossible to fight a hard battle. Therefore, after seven days of fierce fighting, the Nationalist army retreated, and Jiang Tengjiao was sent to the hospital for surgery at this time.
Because of his merits in defending the command headquarters, Jiang Tengjiao was promoted to deputy director of the political department of the fifth detachment, and his post was concentrated on the development of the direction of political work.
Later, Jiang Tengjiao successively served as the director of the political office of the 13th Regiment of the 5th Brigade of the 2nd Division of the New Fourth Army, the director of the Political Department of the 24th Brigade of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army, the director of the Political Department of the 151st Division of the Northeast Field Army, the director of the Political Department of the 151st Division of the 38th Army of the Fourth Field Army, and also participated in important battles such as Liaoshen and Pingjin.
In the revolutionary years, Jiang Tengjiao had great merits and made great contributions, but after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was like a changed person. Perhaps he has risen not only to his position, but also to desire.
In 1955, Jiang Tengjiao was awarded the rank of major general, and many people evaluated Jiang Tengjiao with only one sentence: Being a person is not bad, and being an official is not good. Because what he studied all day was not how to train the troops and make them stronger, but how to get close to the leadership set. He had been Lin Zong's subordinate since the Liberation War, so he chose this tree as a place to cool off.
When Jiang Tengjiao was the political commissar of the Air Fourth Army of the Nanjing Military Region, he only knew how to take a relationship all day and rarely handled official affairs, so much so that Nie Fengzhi, commander of the Air Force of the Nanjing Military Region, angrily criticized him in person: See that you are not the political commissar of the Air Fourth Army, but the director of the guest house!
However, Jiang Tengjiao still did not make changes after being criticized, but instead intensified, and after being promoted, he gave Nie Fengzhi a hat of "ambitionist", and was so angry that Xu Shiyou returned to Dabie Mountain.
After all, Xu Shiyou was still the commander of the Nanjing Military Region, and such a big thing naturally alarmed Chairman Mao, and after figuring out the situation, the chairman was very disgusted by Jiang Tengjiao's behavior, and after removing him from his post, he bluntly said: This person cannot be reused.
Although he was removed from his post, Jiang Tengjiao did something until 1973, when he was expelled from the party, completely removed from all positions inside and outside the party, and sentenced to 18 years in prison in 1981.
Later, taking into account Jiang Tengjiao's physical condition and his contributions to the revolution, he was placed in Taiyuan for medical treatment. After Jiang Tengjiao's sentence expired, he was reunited with his family, and some subsidies were given to the organization, and he was also very satisfied with such a life.
On May 8, 2009, Jiang Tengjiao died of illness in Beijing at the age of 90.
Sometimes people take a wrong step, the impact is a lifetime, but it is a pity that Jiang Tengjiao fought for the revolution in his early years and made many meritorious contributions, but later he lost himself and embarked on the wrong road.
Perhaps the sentence that people evaluate him at the time is the most accurate: It is not bad to be a person, and it is not good to be an official.
