After the first rupture of the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the Kuomintang army, under the command of Lao Chiang, became the strongest opponent of our army.
Whether it is "reassuring the outside world before securing the interior" or the five "encirclement and suppression" attempts, they have caused irreparable losses to our party.
Perhaps in the eyes of uninformed people, these losses of our party were caused by Lao Jiang alone.
But in fact, there is a "master" behind everything he does. And this person is also the mastermind behind forcing our army onto the road of the Long March.
Fortunately, this "Poison Zhuge Ge" got his due fate after half a lifetime of calculation.
Who is giving advice to Lao Jiang? What was his final end?
Lao Chiang's strategy
In 1927, when Lao Jiang and Wang Jingwei were fighting, Li Zongren seized the opportunity and suddenly attacked Lao Jiang. Lao Jiang couldn't defend himself, so he had no choice but to go into the wilderness.
However, Li Zongren did not live a worry-free life as he expected. He did not expect that as soon as Lao Jiang left, not only the entire Nanjing government would be paralyzed, but even the financial problems would arise.
Under the persecution of Lao Jiang's old department, Li Zongren had to invite Lao Jiang back again.
In this way, less than half a year after going to the field, Lao Jiang made a comeback.
And the old Jiang, who had learned a lesson, finally understood that his biggest enemy was not Wang Jingwei's Wuhan government, but his own internal personnel.
So he began to vigorously cultivate talents, only for his own use. Now that the entire Whampoa Military Academy is in hand, there are descendant troops, but there is still a lack of military divisions.
But Lao Jiang didn't choose the one he liked, he couldn't look down on those who were not smart with him, and he couldn't believe those who were smarter than him.
Just when he was worried, his brother Huang Yin came to deliver charcoal in the snow.
It is said that Lao Jiang is suspicious by nature, and there are very few people who can be trusted by him. But if you really want to talk carefully about Lao Jiang's most reassuring person, then Huang Yin can definitely rank first.
Lao Chiang called Huang Yin the most talented adjutant and appointed him Minister of Foreign Affairs. Huang Yin didn't pay for it, and he didn't say anything to Lao Jiang.
During the period when Lao Jiang was frustrated, he was always supporting Lao Jiang behind his back.
And now Lao Jiang has not been able to find a suitable strategist, so he wants Huang Ying to retire from diplomatic work and assist him in building the national government.
However, Huang Yan refused. The reason for his refusal was not that he did not want to assist Lao Jiang, but that he thought that there was someone more suitable than him.
He called this man a genius who was full of wealth and exports. What he can do, this man can do, but what this man can do, sometimes he can't.
When Lao Jiang heard this, he was instantly interested, he didn't expect that there were people smarter than Huang Yan in this world. He hurriedly asked for the man's name.
Huang Yan told him that this person's name was Yang Yongtai.
"Bole" and "Zhuge
Yang Yongtai is indeed a giant in political science, he graduated from the Beijing School of Political Science and Law, and later went to Japan to study.
He often compares himself to "Zhuge Liang", hoping to meet the "Ming Lord" and show his skills in the political world.
Yang Yongtai does have the capital to dream, he is resourceful, and he also has lofty ambitions, if he goes on according to this trend and assists a "master", it may not be impossible to succeed.
But it is a pity that he has political strategy, but he lacks political vision and does not stand firmly.
In his early years, Yang Yongtai followed Mr. Sun Yat-sen in the revolutionary movement, and was very respected by Mr. Sun Yat-sen.
But later, when he heard others say that "there is no future with Sun Yat-sen, and the power of the Kuomintang is not as big as the Southwest Army and the Yunnan-Guizhou Army", his heart was immediately shaken, and he immediately resigned from the position assigned to him by Mr. Sun Yat-sen and looked for another branch.
But whether it is in the southwest or in Yunnan and Guizhou, Yang Yongtai has never been reused, and he can only return to his hometown gloomily and wait for the opportunity.
After hearing that Lao Jiang Dongshan was making a comeback, he immediately sensed that the time had come, so he hurriedly passed the news to Huang Yin and asked him to help introduce him.
Although Huang Yan praised Yang Yongtai as having nothing in the sky and not in the ground, Lao Jiang still had some doubts in his heart.
After all, he had not heard of Yang Yongtai's name, nor had he seen any merits in him, so he did not immediately reuse him.
Yang Yongtai also knew that if he wanted Lao Jiang to accept him, he had to show a little housekeeping skills.
At that time, Lao Jiang was having a headache for "cutting the feudal domain".
At that time, the Northern Expedition had just ended, and the local separatist forces began to move, and they all set their eyes on Lao Chiang's position.
Li Zongren needless to say, after all, he has successfully forced Lao Jiang Xiaye.
There are also Yan Xishan in the Central Plains and Feng Yuxiang in the Northwest are also eyeing them.
If they are dealt with one by one, then it is better to say, I am afraid that if the three of them are united, then Nanjing will have no place at all.
So Yang Yongtai proposed to Lao Jiang that these three forces should be disintegrated one by one in different ways.
The first thing to be solved is Li Zongren, who has the greatest risk factor and is also the closest distance.
Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were born in the Gui Army. The biggest "weakness" of the Gui army is that it dares to fight evil battles and is not afraid of sacrifice. Moreover, the Gui army is a multi-ethnic army, and the cohesion of the army cannot be underestimated, and there is even a little will to die unyieldingly.
Therefore, if you want to deal with them, it will not work to adopt a simple policy of softness, and you can only suppress them by force.
After that, Lao Jiang mobilized heavy troops to attack the Gui army in accordance with Yang Yongtai's command.
He used the method of "striking the head and abdomen first, and then the tail" to disintegrate the Gui army's "one-word long snake" formation, and successfully made Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi flee in a hurry.
After dealing with Gui Jun, Yang Yongtai began to prepare to deal with Feng Yuxiang again.
Feng Yuxiang is very easy to break, he is from the Northwest Army. The northwest is geographically remote and has scarce resources, and what the Northwest Army lacks is money.
Therefore, Yang Yongtai suggested that the Northwest Army should be attacked by economic means.
Later, according to the proposal, Lao Jiang secretly bought Feng Yuxiang's henchmen Han Fuyu and Shi Yousan.
With the departure of the two, Feng Yuxiang's power was divided and he had to go into the wilderness.
With the fall of Li Zongren and Feng Yuxiang one after another, Yan Xishan no longer has the arrogance he had before.
Yang Yongtai believes that Yan Xishan has been swaying from side to side, and now he must be even more flustered, so they might as well seize the opportunity to use political means against Yan Xishan and subdue him.
Subsequently, Lao Jiang sent people to coerce and lure Yan Xishan. Yan Xishan went down the slope when he saw it, and he didn't dare to have any more objections.
Since then, Lao Jiang's three major troubles have all been solved.
In fact, there is also Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army in the end.
Zhang Xueliang is more special, he is not like other three-way armies, he has the ambition to dominate the country. He was born in Jiangmen, is a loyal and righteous man, and only wants to guard the construction and development of the Northeast.
His attitude towards Lao Jiang is also "people don't offend me, I don't offend people", so he didn't pose much threat to Lao Jiang.
However, in order to prevent future troubles, Yang Yongtai still suggested that Lao Jiang should take diplomatic means against Zhang Xueliang to stabilize the army.
Lao Jiang did so, and Zhang Xueliang gradually approached Lao Jiang.
After everything was completely calmed down, Yang Yongtai officially became Lao Jiang's military adviser in the tent, and was deeply favored by Lao Jiang.
Forced the Red Army on the Long March
After the "918" incident, the whole country responded to the united anti-Japanese front. However, Lao Chiang hesitated, he didn't want to resist Japan, he just wanted to deal with our party.
Yang Yongtai naturally saw Lao Jiang's thoughts, so he put forward the absurd words of "fighting outside and first securing inside" to whitewash Lao Jiang's ambitions.
His proposal simply reached Lao Jiang's heart, and after Lao Jiang issued this declaration, it was really supported by some people.
After that, Lao Jiang began to prepare his "encirclement and suppression" plan with peace of mind.
Yang Yongtai conscientiously analyzed the reasons for the failure of the first four "encirclement and suppression" operations.
He believed that the Red Army was qualitatively different from the previous tripartite forces.
The Red Army is an army that is not afraid of sacrifice, power, or glory.
Its biggest feature is that it has firm beliefs and ideas, unity, military and civilian integration, very strong influence, and it is not easy to disintegrate internally.
Therefore, they had to resort to different means to be able to breach it.
Yang Yongtai told Lao Chiang that an army like this would not be effective if it was attacked by force alone, but would increase their cohesion and make them more united.
A combination of military and political methods is needed, and politics is the majority, to have a chance of defeating them.
After that, Yang Yongtai proposed the method of "three points of military and seven points of politics".
He suggested that Lao Chiang strengthen the management of the common people in the Red Army base areas, give them benefits, and win them over.
However, at that time, the common people were deeply oppressed by the Kuomintang and had very close ties with our army, so they were unmoved.
So Yang Yongtai proposed to suppress the common people again and implement a joint sitting system. As soon as it was discovered that someone in the family was in contact with the Red Army, the whole family was arrested.
After that, under the pressure of the Kuomintang, the common people had to gradually distance themselves from our army.
At that time, our army did not have a superiority in troops, and mainly relied on mass forces and local armed forces. Now that the most powerful backing of our army has been broken down by the Kuomintang, its combat effectiveness has naturally been greatly reduced.
Lao Chiang seized the opportunity and once again mobilized a large army to besiege our army.
At that time, our army was already in a difficult situation, and due to other factors, our army was finally defeated and had to start a long journey.
Lao Jiang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that his goal had been achieved. Since then, he has attached more importance to Yang Yongtai, entrusted him with all important military secrets, and trusted him very much.
Sometimes the documents handed in below have to be read by Yang Yongtai before they can be handed over to Lao Jiang.
Yang Yongtai's power and scenery are incomparable, which has also aroused the envy of others.
The ending is miserable
The strength of Yang Yongtai's power gradually threatened the interests of others, and Chen Lifu and Chen Guofu became more and more dissatisfied with Yang Yongtai.
Finally, after a violent conflict between the two parties, Er Chen decided to get rid of Yang Yongtai.
After that, Er Chen secretly plotted to secretly win over other forces in the Kuomintang who were dissatisfied with Yang Yongtai, and then went to the people to incite the emotions of students and ordinary people, accusing Yang Yongtai of being a "pro-Japanese faction".
The common people were furious and took to the streets to protest and demand that Yang Yongtai be disposed of.
Under heavy pressure, Lao Jiang had to endure the pain and temporarily transferred Yang Yongtai out of Nanjing.
Yang Yongtai left gloomily, only to be assassinated just as he was about to sail north in Hankow.
An Assassin shot him several times in the back, and he fell to the ground. Before losing his breath, Yang Yongtai said the last sentence: "I already knew that there would be a ...... today", and he died of anger.
In this way, this "poisonous Zhuge ", who had stirred up the situation in the whole country and planned for the Kuomintang for half his life, was finally destroyed in the hands of the Kuomintang, and people could not help but sigh.
