In that year, Wanli was looking for a marquis and a horse was in Liangzhou. Where the guanhe dream is broken, the dust is dark old mink. Hu Wei was not extinguished, his sideburns were first autumn, and his tears were empty. In this life, who expected, the heart is in the Tianshan Mountains, and the body is old and cangzhou. —— Lu You," "Appeal to Heartfelt Feelings"
As everyone knows, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression lasted for a long time and was stalemate, which also shows that it was not easy to resist Japan. In the whole process, many people sacrificed, and among these comrades who sacrificed their lives, there were not only those who sacrificed themselves on the battlefield to kill the enemy, but also those who sacrificed their lives for the reunification of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, because only reunification can better resist Japan and achieve victory at an early date. Among the soldiers who paid a lot for reunification, we are most familiar with Yang Hucheng and Zhang Xueliang, a turning point in the Xi'an Incident, which successfully brought the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to the line, and later the chinese revolution officially marked the beginning of the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. So what happened to these two warriors who made great contributions to reunification?
After the Xi'an incident, the Communist Party advised Yang Hucheng and Zhang Xueliang not to go back, fearing that there was a risk. However, they did not accept this suggestion, Zhang Xueliang insisted on escorting Chiang Kai-shek back to Nanjing, and after arriving in Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek was also free, and immediately ordered Zhang Xueliang to be placed under house arrest, which was 52 years. Yang Hucheng was imprisoned for 12 years, but in fact his fate was much more tragic than that of General Zhang Xueliang, the Kuomintang not only single-handedly plotted to assassinate him, but also spared his entire family, and finally the plot succeeded, leaving only Yang Hucheng's grandson to successfully escape the clutches of the devil, and other people close to Yang Hucheng were all brutally killed, making people sigh and sigh, and the Kuomintang's methods were brutal. And the protagonist we are going to talk about today is also a character of that period, and he also has his choices.
What exactly did this great man achieve, why did he choose to "retire from the jianghu" when his fame was rising, and how did he live afterwards?
Chen Shaokuan
Born in 1889 in Fujian, one of the coastal cities. The family was not rich, but in that era, the influence of rich and poor on a talent did not seem to be so great.
His father was also very good, serving in the Navy and serving as a sergeant in the ship, and playing his skills to the fullest in his own areas of expertise
。 This also greatly affected his child, Chen Shaokuan.
Life is not easy, Chen Shaokuan has been very sensible since he was a child, taking the initiative to work and do things,
Under his own efforts, he entered Gezhi College at the age of 15, and then transferred to Jiangnan Water Master Hall
Fortunately, he learned a skill related to his father's profession at school, and the combination of talent and hard work finally lived up to expectations.
Graduated with honors and successfully joined the Navy, entering the Navy all the way up
After all, the maritime business relies on real skills, so we can also imagine how much hard work he has worked hard to stand out from that group of people although he is young. 1
In 915 he became acting captain of the practice ship.
Later, in order to better serve the country, combine East and West, and learn more skills, he was sent to the United States to study and practice related techniques
In his short study time in the United States, he felt a lot, and understood that in order to better develop Chinese warships, it is necessary to practice good skills, and better skills require him to integrate and understand more about how other countries do it.
So in 1917, he traveled around to study and went to Britain, France and other countries to visit their maritime military sites and learn from their advanced experience.
After completing his studies, he returned to China and participated in actual combat, and in 1927 he led the navy to successfully defeat the Beiyang warlord Sun Chuanfang
, which greatly proved his strength and gained
First Class Medal
。 A few years later, he personally escorted Chiang Kai-shek on his second expedition to the west, and that year he was already holding several positions and had great responsibilities. In the following years, he has been teaching his knowledge to cultivate the Chinese Navy, making them more courageous and good at war.
In 1932, the Songhu War broke out
According to Chen Shaokuan's temperament, this situation should have been a Jedi counterattack, but the Kuomintang issued an order not to allow him to make any moves, and he was depressed but had to obey the instructions, so he submitted his resignation three times, but none of them were approved. After all, Chen Shaokuan was a down-to-earth talent, and the Kuomintang was reluctant to let him leave, and it was only under the personal persuasion of Chiang Kai-shek and others that he was able to continue to stay.
In 1937, faced with the domestic situation of internal and external troubles, he was not afraid of Japan's wild words, and wanted to destroy the Chinese navy and destroy China
。 He just diligently did his job well, carefully commanded the naval team to repel the enemy, constantly fought with the Japanese, did not flinch, it can be said that in the naval battle with Japan, you can see his figure at any time, and pay a lot.
In 1945, the efforts of all the Chinese soldiers were successful, repelling the Japanese and winning a great victory. But
What followed was the issue of domestic hostility, and the Communists and the Kuomintang were deadlocked
He was well aware of the importance of China's reunification, but his situation at that time was very embarrassing, and he was in a dilemma.
In the end, he chose to "retire to the mountains and forests" and did not participate in this melee
。 This is also very good, busy for most of his life, everyone calls him "the first person in the mother of the ship", only he himself knows the bitter effort behind this title.
epilogue
Comrade Chen Shaokuan's determination to serve the country and the people is beyond doubt; he is in a chaotic world, has trained a good skill, and has repeatedly stepped forward at critical times, which is even more touching, and his choice to retire naturally has his own considerations. In today's era, we should also have a patriotic heart, and love our jobs, after all, we can also dedicate ourselves to the country and society in our own industry.
