Wu Tiecheng: When studying the history of the Kuomintang, we tend to focus only on famous generals, such as Zhang Lingfu, Du Yuming, Sun Liren, and others. However, Chiang Kai-shek's rule of the world was both civil and military, and military generals were indispensable, but sometimes the status of civil servants was higher. People like Wu Tiecheng are very much used by Chiang Kai-shek. Wu Tiecheng is a very well-known name, which is a proverb handed down after the Japanese army occupied Guangzhou during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression: "Yu Han has no plan, Wu Tie lost the city, and once raised no spectrum". Although this is a curse, it also speaks to Wu's popularity. At that time, Wu Tiecheng served as the governor of Guangdong Province, but he sat back and watched most of Guangdong be occupied, and he was unable to do anything and had to retreat, so he was called "Wu Tiecheng Lost City". Guangdong's position in the Republic of China period was very important, it was the cradle of the revolution, and Wu Tiecheng's ability to govern Guangdong proved his status.
Now, what we all say about "Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou", Wu Tiecheng and "Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou" are also very fateful. In 1929, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to appoint Wu Tiecheng as mayor of Beiping, but at that time the Pingjin area was not yet fully controlled by Chiang Kai-shek, and finally the position of mayor of Beiping was taken away by Yan Xishan's men. Therefore, Wu Tiecheng also lost the opportunity of Beiping City. Two years later, however, he became mayor of Shanghai. Shanghai is the birthplace of Chiang Kai-shek and the place of his dragon prosperity. If Wu Tiecheng can be in charge of Shanghai, it can be seen that Chiang Kai-shek trusted him. Wu Tiecheng was Chiang Kai-shek's confidant. So, what kind of ability did Wu Tiecheng have that could make Chiang Kai-shek trust him so much? First of all, Wu Tiecheng should be called Wu Tiezui, because his eloquence is indeed very good. During the Central Plains War, Chiang Kai-shek and Li Zongren, Yan Xishan, and Feng Yuxiang fought inseparably, while Zhang Xueliang was stationed outside the Guan, sitting back and watching the situation.
Chiang Kai-shek, Li Zongren and others all believed that it was necessary to win over Zhang Xueliang's power, and for this reason, Chiang Kai-shek sent Wu Tiecheng to win over Zhang Xueliang. Through money and clever communication, Wu Tiecheng found Zhang Xueliang, and constantly lobbied, threw money, and finally pulled Zhang Xueliang to Chiang Kai-shek's side at any cost. It can be said that he said that a dead fish is a live fish. Wu Tiecheng is not only eloquent, but also does not lose anyone in dealing with political grinding. He once served as chief of staff of the Central Military Commission, and in this position, he put forward many very constructive views, which greatly improved the administrative efficiency of the Nationalist Government. For example, he proposed reforms to the system of evaluation, promotion and appointment of officials, as well as adjustments to the distribution of power between central and local institutions. These initiatives laid the foundation for the governance of the national government. In addition, Wu Tiecheng also made outstanding achievements in economic construction.
He served as chairman of the Financial and Economic Committee of the National Government and led many economic reforms, especially in the fiscal field, and he introduced a series of innovative measures, such as the introduction of a unified tax collection policy, the reorganization of state-owned enterprises, and the strengthening of supervision of private enterprises. These measures laid a solid foundation for the country's economic construction and also provided an important reference for later economic reforms. In general, Wu Tiecheng is a very good politician with unlimited talent and is able to perform well in various fields such as politics, economics, and military. His reasonable suggestions greatly improved the administrative efficiency of the national government and laid the foundation for the country's economic construction and political stability. Chiang Kai-shek's absolute trust in him was also fully confirmed in his talent. Conclusion: Wu Tiecheng is a figure worthy of our Xi. First, his eloquence and communication skills are unmatched by other leaders.
He knows how to convince others to follow his ideas and thus appear very good in politics. Secondly, he also had a lot of outstanding performances in economic construction, which actually laid the foundation for the country's economic development. In the process, his leadership and communication skills were also fully demonstrated. We should learn from Xi such a good person, and be good at learning Xi from his strengths, so as to become better leaders. Finally, we should also think about the question: in today's society, how can we better learn and Xi and accept the strengths of a figure like Wu Tiecheng? We need to think about this question and find the answer in practice. Wu Tiecheng: Tiezui who traveled overseas for anti-Japanese propaganda During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wu Tiecheng served as the Minister of Overseas Affairs, and he gave speeches everywhere in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia with his eloquence, and delivered more than 300 speeches, carefully propagating anti-Japanese resistance and striving for foreign aid.
He put forward an inspiring slogan: "An inch of mountains and rivers, an inch of blood, 100,000 young people and 100,000 troops." This concise and powerful slogan became a symbol of the anti-Japanese forces. Wu Tiecheng's abilities were amazing, and it was one of the reasons why he was highly used by Chiang Kai-shek. There is another important reason why Wu Tiecheng was appreciated by Chiang Kai-shek, that is, he was able to take care of the leadership. When Chiang Kai-shek founded the Whampoa Military Academy, Wu Tiecheng, as the director of the Guangzhou Public Security Bureau, sent all the guard cadets to the Whampoa Military Academy. This behavior showed his support and loyalty to Chiang Kai-shek. And when Chiang Kai-shek launched the Zhongshan ship incident, Wu Tiecheng also actively took the lead and gave advice to Chiang Kai-shek. However, unexpectedly, Wu Tiecheng was arrested by Chiang Kai-shek after the incident and imprisoned for more than four months. This is because the Zhongshan ship incident was condemned by public opinion, and Chiang Kai-shek sacrificed Wu Tiecheng in order to protect himself.
However, Wu Tiecheng did not complain during his captivity, which deeply moved Chiang Kai-shek. However, although Wu Tiecheng was highly regarded by Chiang Kai-shek, he eventually died at Chiang Kai-shek's hands. When the Kuomintang was about to collapse, Chiang Kai-shek was forced to get Li Zongren to intervene in order to stabilize the situation. However, Wu Tiecheng misjudged the situation, and he gave his full support to Li Zongren, hoping to save the Kuomintang's defeat. But Li Zongren was Chiang Kai-shek's mortal enemy, and supporting him was tantamount to opposing Chiang Kai-shek. There was a dispute between Wu Tiecheng and Chiang Kai-shek, and he openly contradicted Chiang Kai-shek, and even argued with reason. This infuriated Chiang Kai-shek, who was so angry that he smashed the cup. The comrade-in-arms relationship for many years finally broke down, Wu Tiecheng could not accept this fact, and after returning home, he took an overdose of sleeping pills, and as a result, he couldn't wake up and died. Wu Tiecheng was a confidant of Chiang Kai-shek, but he was finally to death by Chiang Kai-shek. This story makes people feel the cold sea and the state of the world.
In the maelstrom of power, loyalty and trust often become dispensable. Wu Tiecheng gave everything for the country and the leadership, but in the end he became a victim. This chills the fragility of human nature and the corrosiveness of power. Summary: As an important figure during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wu Tiecheng used his iron mouth and excellent speech ability to promote the anti-Japanese resistance and strive for foreign aid overseas. His slogan of "every inch of mountains and rivers, every inch of blood, 100,000 young people and 100,000 troops" became an inspirational symbol. Wu Tiecheng was reused by Chiang Kai-shek, also because he was able to take responsibility for Chiang Kai-shek and take care of the leadership. However, although he was appreciated by Chiang Kai-shek, he was ultimately sacrificed in the struggle for power. Wu Tiecheng misjudged the situation at a critical moment and supported Chiang Kai-shek's sworn enemy Li Zongren, leading to a dispute with Chiang Kai-shek, which ultimately ended up being a good end. This story shows the cruelty of political struggle and the corrosive effect of power on human nature.
In reviewing history, we should be wary of abuses of power and excessive pursuit of loyalty. Wu Tiecheng's story reminds us to think independently and examine power so as not to fall victim to power struggles. In today's society, how to balance power and loyalty, and ensure the dignity and worth of human nature, is a question that we need to think about and explore. What are your thoughts on this?
