"Gan Niang, after all, the Jiang family is a big family with strong strength, and Mr. Jiang is also a person with great ambitions, so you can fulfill them."
"He has a large number of wives and concubines, if we marry your little sister, in case his nature is difficult to move, won't your little sister be wronged?" I don't agree with this family affair! ”
"His previous bad problems have been changed, and now he really loves his little sister alone, so you can complete this marriage."
"Talk about you, why are you so willing to help him speak?" But since you have said so, and I believe you, so if you tell him to join Christianity and divorce his wife and concubine, I will consider letting him marry your little sister. ”
Above is a conversation between Tan Yanmin and his wife, Ni Guizhen, and the "he" in the two people refers to Chiang Kai-shek.
Speaking of Chiang Kai-shek, I believe that everyone is no stranger. He ruled China for more than 20 years and certainly had his own means, but there were also external factors. Chiang Kai-shek was the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy, and most of the military talents under his command were derived from this, and he married Soong Meiling, one of the three sisters of the Soong clan, which added a lot of strength to his politics, both of which were necessary elements for the achievement of Chiang Kai-shek, but whether he became the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy or married Soong Mei-ling, he was inseparable from a nobleman, that is, Tan Yanmin.
Tan Yanmin, a man known as a "prodigy" by Weng Tonggong, held important positions such as governor of Hunan Province and chairman of the National Government in Nanjing. He gave a lot of help to Sun Yat-sen in his revolutionary work, and Sun Yat-sen was very grateful, so when Sun Yat-sen learned that his wife Soong Ching-ling's sister Soong Mei-ling had returned from studying in the United States, he began to introduce Soong Mei-ling to Tan Yanmin as his second wife.
At that time, only Song Meiling was unmarried among the three sisters of the Song family, and Sun Yat-sen felt that Tan Yanmin was upright and clean, and if he could make up a beautiful thing, he could also slightly repay Tan Yanmin's support for himself, and the arrogant Song family at that time was also very full of Tan Yanmin. However, Tan Yanmin refused Sun Yat-sen's mediator, because he had never planned to remarry or take a concubine, he promised that his deceased wife would not continue the string, and Tan Yanmin had always resisted the concubine because his mother was a concubine. He politely refused Sun Yat-sen's kindness, but it was not good to offend the powerful Song family at that time, so he prepared to recognize Song Meiling's mother, Ni Guizhen, as a dry bride, so that he could neither marry Song Meiling nor brush the face of the Song family.
After Tan Tingmin became Song Meiling's brother, the relationship between the two people was really like brother and sister, when Chiang Kai-shek asked to marry Song Meiling, because Mother Song was dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's life style, she refused to marry Soong Meiling to Chiang Kai-shek, so Tan Yanmin went to persuade Mother Song bitterly, and there was the opening scene of the article. Therefore, if it were not for Tan Yanmin's refusal to persuade Sun Yat-sen to persuade Mother Song, Chiang Kai-shek really would not have been able to marry Soong Meiling, nor would he have been able to win the political power behind the Soong family.
Then why is it that Chiang Kai-shek's ability to become the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy is also related to Tan Yanmin? It turned out that when Sun Yat-sen was preparing for the Whampoa Military Academy, he had the intention of making Tan Tingmin the principal, because Tan Yanmin had the ability and experience, but Tan Tingmin once again rejected Sun Yat-sen's good intentions, because he felt that he was not an expert in military education and could not be qualified for this position, and this position should be filled by more capable people. It was precisely because Tan Yanmin did not become the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy that Chiang Kai-shek sat in this position and laid a talent foundation for himself to expand his strength.
For these two reasons alone, Tan Yanmin can become a noble person that Chiang Kai-shek will repay throughout his life.
So how did Chiang Kai-shek repay Tan Yanmin? Before his death, Tan Yanmin entrusted his youngest daughter Tan Xiang to Chiang Kai-shek and his wife, asking the couple to help their daughter choose a good son-in-law. After Tan Yanmin's death, Chiang Kai-shek ordered a state funeral to send him off, and the couple recognized Tan Xiang as their daughter, matched him with Chen Cheng (a general of the Kuomintang army level), and fulfilled the last wish of the nobleman Tan Yanmin.
