One of Chiang Ching-kuo's days in Gannan Province
First, Chiang Ching-kuo was appointed commissioner of Gannan Province
One
Chiang Ching-kuo, Chiang Kai-shek's sister-in-law after returning from Soviet Russia in March 1937, studied at his hometown of Fenghua Xikou in Zhejiang Province on the orders of his father, Chiang Kai-shek. On July 7, the Japanese Kou launched the Lugou Bridge Incident against China, which shocked China and foreign countries. Soon, the Japanese sent troops to occupy Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou and other places. After that, the clutches of the Japanese army extended to almost the entire jiangnan. In the midst of the war, China's Zhejiang Fenghua naturally could not be spared. Chiang Ching-kuo, who was ordered by his father to study in his hometown of Fenghua, was already unable to do anything at this time, and could only go to Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province, with his wife and children in the chaos of war, and steal peace.
When Chiang Kai-shek's grand duke came to Nanchang, Xiong Shihui, chairman of the Jiangxi Provincial Government, naturally did not dare to take it lightly, and in addition to doing his utmost to be a landlord, he also promptly reported to his immediate superior, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in the Nationalist Government. Old Jiang Quickly restored xiong Shihui, who was really incompetent, and asked him to strictly discipline him. Xiong Shihui, who is the chairman of the Jiangxi provincial government, is still too late to talk about the word discipline? The old fritter Xiong Shihui weighed it up again and again, and as a result, he gave Xiao Jiang an idle position: deputy director of the security department of the Jiangxi provincial government.
Why is it idle? At that time, the head of the provincial government's security department and the chief of staff were all Xiong Shihui's people, where could he get in and divide their powers?
When I came to the provincial security office, I had nothing to do, and I was very angry. As a young man, he often went to the streets of Nanchang City to fight unevenly and be nosy. Sometimes young people are invited to comment on current affairs and sing some anti-Japanese songs. What made Xiong Shihui sick most in his heart was that Grand Duke Jiang still said some bad things about the provincial government from time to time, which made the old bear head really helpless for a while. I just want to find an opportunity to let Grand Duke Jiang go far.
At the beginning of 1938, Xiong Shihui set up a local political training institute in Jiangxi. He took the opportunity to transfer Chiang Ching-kuo out of the provincial security department and concurrently served as the chief of the cadet corps. However, the Political Training Institute was soon dissolved, and Grand Duke Jiang had to return to the provincial security department to serve as his deputy director. The restless Jiang Chingguo had nothing to do, so he asked Xiong Shihui to go to Yongfeng County as a county magistrate. Yongfeng County is a big county, but also a fat shortage, fat water does not flow to outsiders, Xiong Shihui has long been arranged naturally will not give him. However, he asked him to go to Anyuan County in the remote areas of the poor countryside as a county magistrate. Naturally, Jiang Gongzi was naturally reluctant to take office, and he stayed idle in Nanchang city all day long.
Xiong Shihui saw that it was not a solution, so he set up a recruit training office and let him become the chief captain. The recruit supervision office was located in Linchuan County, far away from Nanchang City, and when Grand Duke Jiang took office, he was naturally not under Xiong Shihui's eyes.

As for Chiang Ching-kuo's appointment as commissioner of Gannan Province, we must start from the old Chiang Kai-shek's encirclement and suppression of the Red Soviet Zone.
In order to eliminate the Red Army, Lao Jiang once transferred an army of the Guangdong warlord Yu Hanmou to Gannan Province. After the Red Army marched north on the Long March, the Guangdong army could not leave. He also took the opportunity to control various harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes in Gannan and the income of tungsten ore. For a moment, Xiong Shihui, chairman of the Jiangxi Provincial Government, sighed and was extremely discouraged, but he had no choice.
At that time, the situation was that Gannan was not only the southern gate of Jiangxi, but also the center of Jiangxi's economy, and it was also the empress dowager of the anti-Japanese resistance. The former commissioner of Gannan was a man named Liu Jida, who was forced away by the Guangdong army after several twists and turns, and he was temporarily vacant. The provincial government repeatedly wanted to send someone to the post, but no one dared to take over. Xiong Shihui scratched his scalp and tried his best to finally squeeze Yu Han's plot away. It is the wolf who does not want to walk on the front foot, and the tiger that comes from the back foot is still zhang Fakui of the Guangdong army. After Zhang Fakui was stationed in Gannan, he only grasped all kinds of taxes in Gannan more than the Yu Han Conspiracy Department, and did not let the Jiangxi Provincial Government pass by for a single cent. For a while, Xiong Shihui was in a mess, and he wanted to break his head and wanted to send someone to Gannan to serve as a commissioner and deal with the manpower of Nabang in Guangdong. Some people suggested that chiang kai-shek's grand duke might as well be sent to try his skills. Xiong Shihui listened, patted his thigh and said: Yes, it is his line. Let Chairman Chiang's son deal with some other rabbits in Guangdong.
In this way, Chiang Ching-kuo accepted the appointment of the Jiangxi Provincial Government on June 11, 1939, and was appointed as the Administrative Inspector of the Fourth District of Jiangxi Province and the Commander of the Security Of Gannan Province: he also served as the chief of the Ganzhou Wounded Soldiers Management Branch.
