Bai Chongxi is one of the core figures among the Gui warlords. In military affairs and interpersonal communication, he is very good, so he got the nickname "Little Zhuge ".
However, Bai Chongxi and other high-level officials of the Gui faction have a rather elusive relationship with Lao Jiang and his faction.
There were periods of mutual cooperation, but more often than not, they always had to fight each other on the battlefield and fight to the death.
In 1926, after seizing the military and political power in the whole of Guangxi, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi "surrendered" to the Kuomintang. The Gui Army had a new name, the 7th Army, and Bai Chongxi was appointed chief of staff of the unit.
During the Northern Expedition, Lao Jiang, who had long heard of "Xiao Zhuge ", issued an order to Bai Chongxi to be the chief of staff of the Northern Expeditionary Army. Bai Chongxi said that the responsibility was too heavy for him to afford, and politely refused the appointment.
Li Zongren also disagreed, Bai Chongxi is gone, who will command the troops in Guangxi?
Lao Jiang did not give up, and took the most sincere attitude to ask again and again, and finally even came up with the argument of "borrowing," saying that it would only be borrowed for a few months, and that Wuhan would definitely be returned! Only then did the two sides reach an agreement.
After that, Bai Chongxi did help Lao Jiang capture Wuhan, which was also the first cooperation between the two sides. However, after 1927, relations between the two sides became very bad.
That year, relations between Chiang and Wang deteriorated, and Wang sent a telegram asking Chiang to go to the wilderness, otherwise a military crusade would be carried out. On June 23, Tang Shengzhi claimed to attack Nanjing.
On the 27th, Lao Jiang transferred the main force from the Xuzhou front to the south to prevent Tang Shengzhi's troops from attacking. As a result, the Xuzhou defense line was empty and was broken by Sun Chuanfang.
At this time, Tang Shengzhi continuously called Lao Jiang to go into the wilderness, and Lao Jiang, who was anxious, had no choice but to call Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi to discuss countermeasures.
Unexpectedly, Li and Bai not only advocated Lao Jiang's dismissal, but also confronted Lao Jiang in person.
In the end, under the persecution of Bai Chongxi, Li Zongren and others, Lao Jiang had to issue a "declaration of resignation" on August 13, 1927, handing over the military and political power to He Yingqin, Li Zongren and others, and left Nanjing in despair.
After that, Lao Jiang and Bai Chongxi's Liangzi was settled.
Later, the "Chiang-Gui War" broke out between the two sides, and Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi launched several "overthrowing" operations, which can be said to be very unpleasant to each other.
Even with it, the factions under Lao Jiang also don't like the Gui faction, and always want to find opportunities to disgust each other on various occasions.
100 taels or 400 taels
"That Bai Chongxi, build his mother's grave on the land of our Hu family! This kind of behavior is really a bad act, please help me uphold justice!"
In May 1946, the media in Chongqing suddenly became busy. Because just in the past few days, a person named Hu Bin submitted articles to major newspapers, saying that Bai Chongxi, the newly appointed Minister of National Defense, had forcibly occupied his family's ancestral land!
In addition, Hu Bin also submitted a complaint to the local court, detailing the whole process of Bai Chongxi's crimes committed. Hu Bin claimed that Bai Chongxi built a tomb for his mother and a mansion and villa for himself on the land of their Hu family.
This big news quickly spread throughout Chongqing, and then reached the ears of Bai Chongxi himself. After understanding the situation, Bai Chongxi's evaluation of this matter was only four words: "Unreasonable." ”
To be honest, Bai Chongxi was really wronged this time. He did build a mansion and a tomb on the land Hu Bin said, but all the formalities were legal and compliant.
And, before the construction began, he did his research on the ground. That piece of land is ownerless at all, and there is no such thing as "forcibly occupying the land of the Hu family".
Combined with the "reconciliation conditions" mentioned by Hu Bin, Bai Chongxi is basically sure that he has encountered the extortion of a ruffian.
Actually, it's not quite. Hu Bin himself is indeed a gangster with little power, but it was Lao Jiang's person who pushed him to trouble Bai Chongxi behind the scenes.
The reason is very understandable, Bai Chongxi didn't just become Minister of Defense, they just wanted to disgust Bai Chongxi.
Even if they are separated from the battlefield in the military sense, the two factions are still incompatible, and they will face each other again on this battlefield without gunpowder.
Let's go back to Hu Bin.
Hu Bin said that this matter cannot be so easy. Bai Chongxi must demolish all the buildings and graves built on that land, and compensate him 400 taels of gold as compensation for forcibly occupying the land!
Hearing this, Bai Chongxi decided to ignore Hu Bin's request. It's okay to demolish buildings and the like, and a little bit of gold is not impossible to give, even if it is 400 taels of gold in full, Bai Chongxi can't afford to give it.
However, this does not mean that 400 taels of gold against Bai Chongxi is a small amount of money.
Later, when the Kuomintang was defeated and retreated to Taiwan, Lao Chiang swept away the gold from the mainland, totaling more than 400 taels.
Such a sky-high asking price, not to mention that he did not actually forcibly occupy the land. Even if it is really occupied, it is impossible for Bai Chongxi to lose so much money.
However, after discussing it with an old subordinate, Hebei Heng, Bai Chongxi changed his mind.
Hebei Heng said that 400 taels of gold could not be given, but he could give Hu Bin 100 taels of gold, and he should spend money to eliminate the disaster.
Hu Bin learned that Bai Chongxi was only willing to give 100 taels, but he didn't show much dissatisfaction, but looked surprised. This made Bai Chongxi even more sure in his heart that Hu Bin was just a scoundrel who wanted to find a chance to make a fortune.
However, now that he has figured out the details of Hu Bin, Bai Chongxi suddenly feels: Why waste 100 taels of gold on such a person?
When the gold was placed in front of Hu Bin, Hu Bin's eyes lit up. Just kidding, he didn't expect to get 400 taels at the beginning, but it was an unimaginable surprise to have 100 taels!
Hu Bin was about to pocket the gold bars, but the representative sent by Bai Chongxi to negotiate suddenly spoke: "Mr. Hu, according to the articles of association we have agreed, you have to take out the sales contract before you can take the gold." ”
The deed of sale is exactly that of the land. Now Hu Bin was dumbfounded, that land was not his family at all, how could he take it out?
Under the gaze of the negotiator, Hu Bin's face turned red, and finally fled without saying a word.
