At first glance, I think everyone will be a little strange, Sun Yat-sen is the president of the Republic of China, Chiang Kai-shek is the supreme commander of the Kuomintang government, and he can let two "big figures" marry and guard the soul for him. So, who is this person, and why does it have such a "special honor"?
Zhu Peide, a first-class general of the Kuomintang Army, a member of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission, and one of the first graduates of the Yunnan DaowuTang, was a classmate of Marshal Zhu De. In 1910, Zhu Peide joined the Chinese League Association, and in 1914, he graduated with the first place in the school, starting from the grassroots level, and successively served as a company commander, battalion commander and other grassroots officials.
In December 1915, Cai Yi launched a campaign in Yunnan to protect Yuan, declaring the independence of Yunnan, and organizing the defending army to march north to attack Yuan Shikai. Zhu Peide went out with the army and served as the vanguard of the troops, winning successive battles and winning many miracles.
Subsequently, Zhu Peide gradually began to contact Sun Yat-sen and became a staunch follower of him, vowing his allegiance to the National Revolution, which was deeply used by Sun Yat-sen.
In 1918, as the vanguard of the army, Zhu Peide, who had just been promoted to regimental commander, led the army all the way north to meet the troops of the Beiyang warlords, fought several major victories in succession, eliminated more than 10,000 Beiyang troops, and thwarted the Ambition of the Beiyang government to eliminate the national revolution. After Zhu Peide returned to Guangzhou after victory and triumph, Sun Yat-sen entrusted him with a heavy responsibility and appointed him commander of the Fourth Division of the National Revolutionary Army and commander of the Guangzhou garrison.
At that time, Zhu Peide had just turned 30 years old, and she was still unmarried, but she already had a crush, and she was Ms. Zhao Huijun, a native of Dali, Yunnan. With the power of victory, Zhu Peide and his sweetheart Ms. Zhao Huijun held a grand wedding in Guangzhou, and people from all walks of life came to congratulate them.
However, what Zhu Peide did not expect in his dreams was that
Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the provisional president of the Republic of China, also came to the wedding site to congratulate and personally officiate the marriage of a couple.
Zhu Peide can be said to have earned enough eyeballs.
In February 1923, Dr. Sun Yat-sen re-established the National Revolutionary Government in Guangzhou, and appointed Zhu Peide as acting minister of the War Department of the Guangzhou Military Government and commander of the Guangzhou Garrison, responsible for the safety of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. It can be seen from this that Dr. Sun Yat-sen has great trust in Zhu Peide.
In July 1925, the National Government in Guangzhou was established, zhu Peide became a member of the National Government, and his troops were reorganized into the Third Army of the National Revolutionary Army, with him as the commander of the army.
At this time, Zhu Peide was very friendly to the Communist Party, and not only set up a military political department headed by Zhu Kejing, a communist, but also acquiesced to Zhu Kejing's personal selection of staff.
In April 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup d'état, which wantonly arrested and shot Communists.
At this time, Zhu Peide, who was stationed in Nanchang, ostensibly obeyed Chiang Kai-shek's orders, but in fact secretly sent all the Communist Party members under his jurisdiction out of the country, expressing that those who stayed were welcome, those who left were happy, and they would never be embarrassed, and distributed three months' food and travel expenses to everyone, thus preserving the revolutionary flame for our party.
On January 4, 1930, the Central Plains War broke out, and Chiang Kai-shek appointed Zhu Peide as the commander-in-chief of the First Route Army and led his troops to the front. Zhu Peide commanded the troops to march all the way to victory and victory in successive battles, which made great contributions to Chiang Kai-shek's smooth victory in the Central Plains War. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek trusted Zhu Peide and regarded him as his right and left arm.
After the establishment of the Jinggangshan revolutionary base area, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Zhu Peide to command troops to encircle and suppress Jinggangshan. However, Zhu Peide chose to retreat bravely, and at the same time resigned from the posts of chairman of the Jiangxi provincial government and commander-in-chief of the Fifth Front.
In 1929, Zhu Peide was appointed chief of staff of the Kuomintang army, and in 1931, he was changed to director of the general office of the Kuomintang Military Commission and a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Military Commission.
On February 17, 1937, Zhu Peide was treated in the hospital due to illness, but he died of poisoning due to injections, at the age of 48.
Hearing the news of Zhu Peide's death, Chiang Kai-shek was very sad, and despite the persuasion of the crowd, he personally came to the spiritual hall and insisted on guarding the spirit for Zhu Peide, but was forcibly driven away by his subordinates, and his wife Song Meiling guarded the spirit for one night.
As a first-class general in the Kuomintang army and a member of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission, Zhu Peide's official position was not low, but he was able to let The President of the Republic of China Sun Yat-sen and the Kuomintang supreme commander Chiang Kai-shek guard his soul, which was the first time in the history of the Kuomintang.
