Originally, the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy could marry Song Meiling, but because Cixi disliked his name, he lost his original title, and later overthrew the Qing dynasty. Do you know who he is?
As we all know, the ancient imperial examination system on the mainland is a crucial link for scholars to enter the official level, and sometimes, this system provides a good platform for people at the bottom of society to one day soar, of course, it is also an important channel for the DPRK to recruit talents.
Because the imperial examination system grew under the soil of the feudal system, there were also many artificial shadows, such as the imperial examination system in the late Qing Dynasty, which was a bit out of the era and scientific track.
At that time, Empress Dowager Cixi, who obeyed the government, did not take the imperial examination system very seriously, and she alone had the final say on who was the official.
Here is an incident between the figure who went to Beijing to rush for the exam under the imperial examination system and Empress Dowager Cixi, and later because Cixi did not like his name, he disliked his name was not good and had an obscure taste, even if this person passed the examination at that time, he was not hired in the end.
We know that in history, the famous Huang Chao fell out of the imperial examination system, but Huang Chao was not discouraged, but gave full play to his influence, and later shook the Tang Dynasty at that time because of his influence.
In fact, after losing the election, the champion that Cixi disliked overthrew the Qing Dynasty with his outstanding strength. Although this person is not as famous as Sun Yat-sen, he was also a famous figure at that time, his name was Tan Yanmin.
It is estimated that many people are not familiar with him, but he is an extraordinary figure who became famous in the late Qing and Republican periods. Tan Yanmin's life is incredible.
It is reported that Tan Zhonglin was the governor of Liangguang in the late Qing Dynasty, and his son was Tan Yanmin, of course, he was only one of Tan Zhonglin's many sons.
Just because he was born to a concubine of Tan Zhonglin, which in the backward environment of the feudal system at that time, Tan Yanmin had no status at home, and he was not even allowed to eat at the table, and he was very unpopular with his family.
Looking at the historical materials, we found that he was actually not called Tan Yanmin at the beginning, and legend has it that Tan Zhonglin, who was the governor of Liangguang at that time, was born the next day because he dreamed that his father entrusted him with a very important thing, and Tan Zhonglin felt that this was God's favor for him, which was born at the time, so he took a legendary name Zuan.
With the passage of time, Tan Yanmin's extraordinary life after growing up has risen sharply. Tan Yanmin's calligraphy is definitely one of the best, because he is young and successful, and is known as one of the four great calligraphers in the Republic of China, which is enough to prove how powerful Tan Yanmin's calligraphy talent is.
Growing up in a powerful family of the dynasty, Tan Yanmin was influenced and nurtured by Tan Zhonglin, so much so that he received the true transmission of many of his country's governance and administrative management experiences. Tan Yanmin also has a unique blend of time-honored theories and traditional classical learning, which is very good, proving that he is not bound by the inherent state and is good at innovative ideas.
Later, the luck of the thunderous talent Tan Yanmin at that time burst from time to time, and the imperial examination has always been very smooth, because his results have always been the first place, but it is regrettable that the old lady Cixi of the government absolutely does not look at the strength of real talent and learning when it comes to naming the champion, but only depends on the mood.
Because the old and incompetent Cixi was very superstitious, she stubbornly thought that the words Yanmin were very unlucky, and stubbornly believed that this would bring a very bad fate to the luck of the Qing Dynasty at that time, and whenever Cixi saw the names of the two characters Yanmin, she inexplicably thought that it was mocking herself.
This made the ominous thing that Cixi decided that there would definitely not be good fruit to eat, so Tan Yanmin was not selected for the title of champion at that time.
In this way, Tan Yanmin's title disappeared, which undoubtedly made him extremely humiliated and painful. How unfair this is, alas, let so many feel sorry for him!
However, after Tan Yanmin witnessed and truly experienced the darkness of the imperial examination system of the Qing Dynasty, this really made Tan Yanmin's bloody loyalty to the Qing Dynasty disappear, and he gradually accepted new ideas and criticized the old system.
Due to Cixi's corruption and incompetence, the people of Li at that time opposed the Qing Dynasty, which in turn caused the Xinhai Revolution to break out vigorously. Tan Yanmin, who had established a new system in order to overthrow the old society, actively participated in the organization and integrated into the Great Revolution, so he was fortunate enough to meet Sun Yat-sen and resolutely joined his organization.
Later, Sun Yat-sen found Tan Yanmin more and more talented and very capable, and thought that Tan Yanmin and his talent and outstanding ability were absolutely rare and rare at that time.
After some weighing, Sun Yat-sen wanted Tan Yanmin to do the position of principal of the Whampoa Military Academy, which was quite authoritative at that time, after all, this important position was very suitable for Tan Yanmin. Moreover, Mr. Sun Yat-sen also considered Tan Yanmin's life events, and wanted his sister-in-law Song Meiling to marry Tan Yanmin, and deliberately arranged for Tan Yanmin to recognize Song Qingling's mother as his mother.
Of course, all this was Tan Yanmin's outstanding talent and wisdom that convinced Sun Yat-sen, so many honors and good deeds were considered for him. Later, it was said that the post of commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition Army that year, even Dr. Sun Yat-sen, planned to let Tan Yanmin take it.
Dr. Sun Yat-sen's series of "good deeds" for Tan Yanmin did not go as he wished. Because Tan Yanmin, who was extremely sincere in his loyal marriage, at that time he was completely unable to accept that his wife had just died, and his corpse was not cold before he turned around and married Song Meiling, which was not at all common sense and did not conform to his true nature as a person, so he introduced Song Meiling to Chiang Kai-shek, a colleague and friend, and finally personally managed the two of them to enter the marriage hall, which became a beautiful talk at that time.
At that time, in order to become the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy, the scheming Chiang Kai-shek used the usual trick of women - crying, making trouble and hanging himself three times, but Chiang Kai-shek used all means to achieve his goals. In this way, Tan Yanmin, the "good errand" that had come to hand, finally gave it to Chiang Kai-shek.
Tan Yanmin, who already had some influence at that time, was already dissatisfied with the feudal system of the Qing Dynasty for many days, so he and the members of the League raised troops to overthrow the dying Qing Dynasty.
It is said that Tan Yanmin gradually rose to the top of his official position, and even became the commander-in-chief of the Xiang Army and the governor of Hunan Province, and Tan Yanmin participated in the republican activities to defend the Republic of China many times in this capacity.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that a generation of heroes Tan Yanmin overthrew the Qing Dynasty. What do you think?
