Born in 1903, he lost his father when he was a child and was raised by his mother. In 1924, he was admitted to the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, and was friends with Hu Zongnan and He Jinhan. In 1925, Chiang Kai-shek led the students of the Whampoa Military Academy to fight Chen Jiongming in Mianhu, Guangdong. The battle was very tragic, and many Whampoa students died on the battlefield, but they survived by luck. In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek staged the "April 12 Counter-Revolutionary Coup" in Shanghai, and followed Chiang Kai-shek to hunt down and kill Communists. Chiang Kai-shek admired him so much that he promoted him to major general. This year, he was 33 years old.
He is conceited and has a strained relationship with his Whampoa classmates. In order to consolidate his position, he often offered courtesy to Chiang Kai-shek. At that time, Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Jingwei and Hu Hanmin waged a fierce struggle for the right to rule. He Yi, together with He Jinhan, Kang Ze and others, formed the "Fuxing Society" and advocated "one political party, one leader". At this time, he was Chiang Kai-shek's confidant and the most powerful Kuomintang major general. However, the next thing that happened completely ruined his career.
In December 1936, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng launched the "Xi'an Incident" and detained Chiang Kai-shek. Due to Chiang Kai-shek's long-term policy of "settling the outside world before securing the interior", Northeast China and North China were occupied by the Japanese army. The common people hated Chiang Kai-shek and hoped that Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng would execute Chiang Kai-shek. When he heard this, he was terrified, his popularity at the Whampoa Military Academy was extremely poor, and once Chiang Kai-shek "drove the crane to the west", there was no hope for his career. So, he took the initiative to take refuge in He Yingqin. However, the Xi'an Incident was finally resolved peacefully, and Chiang Kai-shek returned to Nanjing, demoting him to Changsha as commander of the garrison.
He knew that his career was over, and he was very depressed. He often went to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion to mingle and got acquainted with a large number of Qinglou women. I fell in love with a girl named Wang Xueying, who had a graceful posture and loved to wear a royal blue cheongsam. In order to get her hands on her, he hired a tailor. The tailor lives in the house, and his daily task is to make cheongsam for Wang Xueying. Wang Xueying was really moved, and took the initiative to throw herself into the arms of the drunk, and every evening, she drove the car and took Wang Xueying for a ride, and the people of Changsha cast envious eyes.
In 1938, the Japanese army captured Yueyang, and the front of the army was directed at Changsha. Chiang Kai-shek sent a telegram to Yu Yi, asking him to carry out the "scorched earth war of resistance". She has been mixed with Wang Xueying for a long time, and her mind is not on work. In the end, there were major mistakes in the implementation of the "Scorched Earth War of Resistance", and the city of Changsha was razed to the ground in the "Wenxi Fire". Afterwards, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the execution of the drunken. Wang Xueying lost her support and turned to the Japanese army. The Japanese army had never seen such a beautiful woman, and gave her to a general of the Japanese army. Throughout his life, it can be described as ups and downs. He was originally a graduate of the first phase of Whampoa and had a great future. However, he was obsessed with women and eventually lost Xingming. It can be seen from this that in the Whampoa Military Academy, whose wife is the most beautiful? It must be the drunken wife Wang Xueying.
