The Huangpu Military Academy is a famous military school in modern Chinese history, and it is known as the three major military schools in modern history together with the Baoding Military Academy and the Yunnan Jiangwutang.
Although the Whampoa Military Academy was established the latest, its reputation is the loudest. Because, Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the founder of the Whampoa Military Academy, is the builder of the Republic of China and a very influential figure in modern history.
In addition, Chiang Kai-shek, the first principal of the Whampoa Military Academy, has been in charge of the Republic of China for many years, and he can definitely be regarded as a man of the hour. At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek also relied on the Whampoa Military Academy to start, for this reason, after he took charge of the Republic of China, he relied very heavily on the military, and the instructors who served in the Whampoa Military Academy and the students who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy. And this kind of generals are also called the Whampoa system.
You must know that the instructors who served at the Whampoa Military Academy will all become high-ranking generals and backbone members of both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the future.
He Yingqin, the chief instructor of tactics at the Whampoa Military Academy, was Chiang Kai-shek's right-hand man in the early days, and played a key role in the Northern Expedition and the Central Plains War. Therefore, after Chiang Kai-shek came to power, he became the second person in the national power, the commander-in-chief of the army, and the officer reached the rank of general.
Chen Cheng, an artillery instructor at the Whampoa Military Academy, was a cadre general beside Chiang Kai-shek, and with his outstanding ability to do things, he rose all the way and won the respect of Chiang Kai-shek.
Liu Zhi, who is not favored by the world, also served as a tactical instructor at the Whampoa Military Academy. Liu Zhi is a bit similar to Tang Ming Emperor Li Longji, who worked hard in the first half of his life to break into the next career, and began to enjoy life in the second half of his life.
Due to Li Longji's self-indulgence, the Anshi Rebellion broke out in the Tang Dynasty. Liu Zhi's complete mess made him happy to be the title of runaway general. But one thing is certain, they used to be very good characters.
Gu Zhutong, a tactical instructor at the Whampoa Military Academy, was Chiang Kai-shek's most trusted general. It is said that when Gu Zhutong was teaching at the Whampoa Military Academy, he missed the morning training the next day because he drank too much, and was punished by Chiang Kai-shek. It seemed to be a very ordinary thing, but it became a turning point in Gu Zhutong's military career, and it made him appreciated by Chiang Kai-shek. Since then, he has become Chiang Kai-shek's descendant general, and he is still the most trusted one.
Dai Jitao was Chiang Kai-shek's sworn brother and served as director of the Political Department of the Whampoa Military Academy. He was a politician, a think tank close to Chiang Kai-shek, and a veteran of the Nationalist Army, who had joined Mr. Nakayama's League with Chiang Kai-shek in Japan. Therefore, the relationship between Chiang Kai-shek and Dai Jitao is extraordinary.
As we all know, Mr. Zhongshan advocated the United Russia, the Communist Party, and the support of peasants and workers. Therefore, after the establishment of the Whampoa Military Academy, there were also quite a few comrades of our party who taught at the Whampoa Military Academy.
Like the well-known Premier Zhou, he served as the director of the political department of the first session of the Whampoa Military Academy. Duke Zhou's military and political abilities were very prominent, and during his tenure, his excellent work ability was appreciated by Chiang Kai-shek. He threw an olive branch to Premier Zhou many times, trying to win him over, but he was refused.
Later, we all know that after Chiang Kai-shek launched the 412 revolutionary coup, the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party broke down completely, Premier Zhou left the Whampoa Military Academy and began to prepare for an armed uprising with our party comrades, and when the time was ripe, on August 1, 1927, the first shot of the armed revolution was fired in Nanchang, Jiangxi, known as the Nanchang Uprising.
Ye Shuai, one of the top ten marshals of the founding of the People's Republic of China, once served as the deputy director of the professor department of the Whampoa Military Academy. Prior to this, Ye Shuai had studied in Yunnan Jiangwutang, and later joined the Guangdong Army, and with his excellent work ability, he was appreciated by Mr. Zhongshan. And in 1924, he was invited by Liao Zhongkai to teach at the Whampoa Military Academy.
Nie Rongzhen, one of the ten founding marshals, once served as the secretary of the Political Department of the Whampoa Military Academy and a political instructor.
Mr. Chen, one of the top ten marshals of the founding of the People's Republic of China, is the secretary of the Political Department of the Wuhan Branch.
Although, both marshals used to hold civilian positions at the Whampoa Military Academy. But after the baptism of war, they all grew up to be the only military strategists in the people's army. Especially during the War of Liberation, Nie Shuai was the commander of the North China Field Army, and Chen Lao was always the commander of the East China Field Army, and they each led the liberation cause of North China and East China, and were the main commanders in force in eliminating the reactionary military groups.
It seems that the instructors who were able to serve at the Whampoa Military Academy were all social elites at that time. That's why they were selected to teach at the Whampoa Military Academy, and it was inevitable that they could become senior generals of both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the future.
