Ancient wonders say
As the president of the Republic of China, most people know the first half of his life.
so
After he once called the wind and rain, what kind of situation did he have when he arrived at the island? What about his later years in particular?
Perhaps the memories of Chiang Kai-shek's son Chiang Ching-kuo will make everyone
See a different Chiang Kai-shek
。
The first half of Chiang Kai-shek's life can be described
Let the wind be windy, and the rain be rainy
Born into a wealthy merchant, he lost his father as a teenager, and most of his property was taken by his brother, but he quickly got it at that time by going to Japan to study
The Alliance's connections
。 Through this layer of personal connections, he achieved an identity transition,
From a local rich man who was a powerful man in a small place, he became a small and famous politician
Later, he managed to get in touch with Sun Yat-sen, so he got it
The position of principal of the Whampoa Military Academy
- This can be described as another leap in his identity:
From a small and famous politician, he became a prince with military power
However, at this time, he was still far from the powerful factions in those places. It is even more difficult for him to imagine that at this time he will develop into the president of the Republic of China in the future.
But he made another 'financing' for himself to make a leap – that is, to find a way
Married to Song Meiling
He married the Song family, a super-large family at that time.
At this time, there were still many warlords who opposed him, so he once again carried out 'financing' -
He pulled Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army into his camp
。 Since then, he has basically embarked on the peak of his career and become a time
The president of the Republic of China, the most powerful in China
And in the whole of China and even in the world, there is the ability to call the wind and rain.
But
A unique vision of 'financing'
Chiang Kai-shek, in
The military side is clearly worse
So I was beaten up to the island.
Well, above the island,
How did Chiang Kai-shek live in his later years?
In the eyes of outsiders, although Chiang Kai-shek lost control of the mainland in his later years, he was also a well-known emperor on the island. Especially at that time, for political purposes, the United States tried to support him in every way, so he still lived like a local emperor on the island.
This is not the case
When he arrived at the island, although he was still in the middle of the island, but because of such a small place,
There are too many people involved
Old Jiang lived more and more like a pawn in the back.
When he was physically strong, he was still able to balance with other forces. But in his later years, he became more and more unable to control the situation.
It has even gradually become a tool for others to influence the situation
We can see some traces of this from Chiang Ching-kuo's diary.
Old Jiang's body was in big trouble
In 1967
when.
In July of that year, he and Song Meiling moved out of the Shilin official residence
Yangmingshan official residence for summer vacation
。 Old Chiang's itinerary should have been kept secret at that time, because Old Jiang experienced assassination after going to the island, and behind the assassination was the outbreak of contradictions, and many people had contradictions with Old Jiang at that time.
The first is
The island is a native faction
There must be some dissatisfaction with Old Jiang, after all, suddenly a group of people came to make a blessing on their heads, and there would be dissatisfaction with whoever they put on. And then there's also above
The power of the Japanese
If they stand alone or intersect with the local forces above, they will naturally have some interests in Old Jiang.
But these demands cannot be completely agreed to by Lao Jiang, so
There is also a contradiction between them and old Chiang Kai-shek
In theory, the United States should support the old Chiang Kai-shek, but this should also be said in detail, because the old Chiang himself actually has nothing to do with the United States, at best, it is only related to interests.
The person who really made the United States have to bind the old Chiang was actually Mrs. Jiang
But Mrs. Jiang also has her own demands on the island.
Moreover, Madame Jiang's influence in the national army is not small, so
There is also a contradiction between her and Lao Jiang
It is not as deeply affectionate as we ordinary people look.
It is precisely because Old Jiang has various contradictions on it that various assassins will appear from time to time.
Of course, history does not show that this time Old Chiang met the Assassins -
Only this time he and his wife had an accident
As Chiang's motorcade passed near Lingshan On Yangde Avenue, there was a sudden turn in the road, and a shuttle bus was parked in front of the turn. Because the shuttle was parked and did not move, the drivers of the convoy did not pay much attention.
But when Chiang Kai-shek's car passed near the shuttle, suddenly a jeep rushed from the back of the shuttle and then crashed head-on into Chiang Kai-shek's convoy. Both Old Jiang and Song Meiling were injured, but the injuries were not very serious.
After a little examination of Song Meiling's injury, no major problems were found. Old Jiang didn't have any serious problems at first, but he didn't know why the illness behind him was always repeated.
But it also made sense — because Chiang Kai-shek was 80 years old that year.
Generally, the 80-year-old man can't walk a lot of roads, not to mention that old Jiang was hit by this car.
After three years of intermittent illness, Old Jiang's health became even worse.
Of course, as a politician, perhaps the worst thing is not a health problem – but a power problem because he has to lie ill because of his physical condition.
Because he spent a lot of time in a hospital bed, this naturally caused his team to appear at that time
A power vacuum
。 Naturally, the other forces are also fighting against this.
Since Old Jiang was still alive at this time——
Therefore, his 'big banner' still has to be held firmly
。 This also makes him have a big problem in addition to health problems and power problems.
He became an important tool for others to play
On May 29, 1970, he wanted to attend the regular meeting, but his physical condition was so bad that he had to cancel the event. And the next day he was more serious
I fainted directly
Old Jiang was equivalent to 'Optimus Prime' on the island at that time, so people rushed him to The Veterans General Hospital. But after entering the hospital, Chiang Kai-shek, whether it is physical condition or other aspects, gradually became a little more'
In spite of oneself
That's it. Because all the problems must be considered from his condition.
So he had to be there
It has not been possible to appear in the public eye for a long time
Because of this, he has a lot less opportunity to give orders. As a result, his control over the situation was weakened.
At the same time many people began to speculate about his health,
Some even whispered that Chiang Kai-shek might be dead
It's no wonder that the people below are thinking wildly, because it is not without such things in Chinese history.
After all, Qin Shi Huang was secretly mourned after his death.
Not to mention the large-scale development of modern technology, there is no need for stinky fish to cover up the smell of decaying corpses.
In order to make Chiang Kai-shek's big banner still work, also for the sake of it
Break the rumors of the time
Soong Mei-ling and Chiang Ching-kuo decided to let Chiang Kai-shek show up.
So at the wedding of Chiang Kai-shek's grandson Jiang Xiaoyong, when his granddaughter-in-law was serving tea to the elders, Song Meiling asked the photographer to send a close-up photo ——
In the photo, Old Jiang put on a smile like a spring breeze
The appearance of this photo stabilized the trend of public opinion for a short time.
And then Chiang Kai-shek, who was already terminally ill, had to
He has cooperated with Song Meiling and Chiang Ching-kuo to engage in this kind of performance many times
Taking a photo is relatively simple, and sometimes it is very difficult to have a real person present.
For example, in November 1973, the Kuomintang held a key meeting, and as the number one person in the Kuomintang, chiang kai-shek could not not be present. And he didn't show how Chiang Ching-kuo and Song Meiling treated themselves, so this time
Old Jiang had to perform with illness
At this time, Old Jiang had lost all his strength, and even his neck and hands could not be lifted up forcefully. So in order to make Chiang Kai-shek look a little healthier in his 'performance', he actually did
Tied the handle to the armrest like a prop
From a distance, it looks like Chiang Kai-shek is sitting there calmly.
After that, Lao Jiang's health was even worse,
Even the hand could not be lifted up at all
But Soong Mei Ling, Chiang Ching-kuo and even some others,
All are needed for Chiang Kai-shek to remain 'healthy' alive
。 So they took pains to get photographers to capture them many times, and finally in one snapshot, they took a picture that looked healthy, but in fact it was just a photo of Old Jiang with his hands on his great-granddaughter.
From the photo, Chiang Kai-shek looks at his great-granddaughter with a smile on his face, and more
His hands seemed to hold his great-granddaughter
。 But really that's just one
Capture 'Instant'
nothing more.
Old Jiang, who was once surprised by the storm, has now become
A 'prop' for taking pictures
But he had to live this life for some time, until 1975, when Chiang Kai-shek had been bedridden for many years.
But around April of that year,
Old Jiang's condition suddenly 'improved'
At that time, Chiang Ching-kuo's diary recorded this:
‘
When Yi Chen asked his father for peace, his father had already gotten up and sat in a wheelchair. Seeing the child, the father smiled. The child's heart is very peaceful
’
Not only that, old Jiang this time
He also chatted with Chiang Ching-kuo for a long time
Chiang Ching-kuo wrote in his diary:
“
Father also asked about the Qingming Festival and the 100th birthday of Mr. Zhang Boling. When the son was dismissed, the Father commanded, 'You should rest a lot.'
’”
The long illness suddenly sat up and nagged, which made Chiang Ching-kuo very happy at that time, but he did not want this to be the return of the old Chiang.
At the same time, we can also see from the return of old Chiang Kai-shek that I am afraid that old Chiang kai-shek has already seen that he is now aware of the situation of the Kuomintang at that time
Influence has waned
。 So in the last sober time of his life, he just chatted with Chiang Ching-kuo
Homely
After all, lying in bed for so long, he had actually become one
The 'props' of many magnates
For Chiang Kai-shek, who has been running amok all his life, I am afraid that it is also a grief that no one can tell!
