In the later stages of the Liberation War, the Kuomintang was dying and struggling, and in order to rectify the economy, Chiang Ching-kuo was ordered to go to Shanghai to crack down on corrupt and hoarding outlaws, but in the end he was stopped by Chiang Kai-shek, and the action of rectifying the economy came to a scrawled end, and Chiang Kai-shek did not seem to care about corrupt officials.
Chiang Kai-shek cares more about who is his own concubine and who is not his own concubine, just take his big corrupt official Qian Dajun, this person is definitely a big corrupt official, but Chiang Kai-shek still reuses him, and today I will talk to you about why Chiang Kai-shek reused the corrupt official Qian Dajun.
Qian Dajun is one of Chiang Kai-shek's "Eight King Kongs" and has great trust in him; in Chiang Kai-shek's mind, the employment of personnel is mainly from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and considering that hometown feelings are the basis, Qian Dajun is a native of Wu County, Jiangsu Province, which is an exception, and Chiang Kai-shek also pays special attention to him.
Qian Dajun was a veteran general of the Kuomintang, and in the early days of the establishment of the Whampoa Military Academy, Qian Dajun was an instructor in weapons at the military academy, he was relatively good at the use of ordnance, and he was also a person with real ability, and later served as the chief instructor, and established many military achievements during the Northern Expedition.
Later, Chiang Kai-shek became the commander of the First Army of the Revolutionary Army, and Qian Dajun became the deputy commander of the first division under the old Chiang Kai-shek, and the division commander was He Yingqin, which shows that Qian Dajun's status in the Kuomintang army is still relatively high, and Qian Dajun has the ability to be false, but he is also very greedy for money.
It was 1929, when Qian Dajun was serving as the commander of the Songhu garrison, because of his embezzlement of military salaries led to more than 100 wounded soldiers, although the loss was quickly quelled, but Qian Dajun's reputation began to stink, during which various complaints against Qian Dajun continued.
It was not until the period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression that Chiang Kai-shek took action to dispose of Qian Dajun, but instead of severely punishing him, he was demoted and punished, and Qian Dajun was transferred to serve as the chief of staff of the Aviation Committee.
Mainly because Qian Dajun was loyal to Chiang Kai-shek and had fought hard for Chiang Kai-shek, it was at the time of the Xi'an Incident, when Yang Hucheng's men rushed into Chiang Kai-shek's residence, and Qian Dajun commanded the guards to fight back despite the danger, and he almost died in a gun battle.
After this incident, Chiang Kai-shek attached great importance to him, and later during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Qian Dajun also made a miraculous achievement, and in May 1938, under qian Dajun's planning, The Kuomintang Air Force pilot Xu Huansheng and 8 other people formed a death squad and flew the plane to the Japanese mainland.
They dropped a special "bomb" on Japan, which was more than one million anti-Japanese propaganda leaflets; this was the first time in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression that a plane from another country flew over the Japanese mainland, which shocked the Japanese military, caused a sensation in the world, and made Qian Dajun famous for a while.
However, after the Liberation War, Qian Dajun followed Chiang Kai-shek to Taiwan, where he was not reused and held some idle posts, and Qian Dajun died of illness on July 21, 1982, at the age of 89.
