One or two job hopping
When it comes to the history of the Republic of China, Yan Xishan, the king of Shanxi, cannot get around it. He can even be called the big brother of the warlords of the Republic of China.
After yan Xishan graduated from the Shanxi Wubei Academy, he went to Japan to study abroad, and in 1905, he joined the League of Sun Yat-sen's first presence! This experience became one of the "hard currency" that Yan Xishan later developed. After returning to China, Yan Xishan joined the New Army, and he served as a standard commander during the Wuchang Uprising.
As a result, Yan Xishan earned the first pot of gold, and after successfully squeezing out other Shanxi competitors, Yan Xishan was promoted to the governor of Shanxi, and duly sealed the territory of the government.
At the time of Yan Xishan's demise, other famous warlords of the Republic of China were still struggling. For example, the later King of the Northeast, Zhang Zuolin, was the commander of the patrol battalion, although he commanded the strength of 5 battalions, he was working for Zhao Erxun.
Wu Peifu is better than Zhang Zuolin and is a regimental commander. Feng Yuxiang and Sun Chuanfang were even more miserable, both of them were battalion commanders.
As for Chiang Kai-shek, who almost unified the rivers and lakes later--sorry, who is called Chiang Kai-shek? Oh, is it the "daredevil" who made a big fuss about Zhejiang Yamen and threw bombs? Yes, that's him! When Yan Xishan held Shanxi, Chiang Kai-shek was doing these things.
What is Big Brother? Yan Xishan is the eldest brother among the warlords. Among the famous warlords of the Republic of China, he started early, but the problem was that the development was slow, but it became a hard wound in his life. So much so that Yan Xishan's most famous deed was the Central Plains War of "Yan, Feng, and Jiang".
Yan Xishan joined forces with General Feng Yuxiang to fight Chiang Kai-shek, but he was defeated. However, it must be noted that Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang lost not so much to Chiang Kai-shek as to Zhang Xueliang, who unified the Northeast Army and entered the customs to help Chiang Kai-shek. Of course, these are all afterwords.
In 1916, due to Yuan Shikai's claim to the throne, Cai Yi, the governor of Yunnan, resolutely raised an army, and the Patriotic War broke out. Yan Xishan hid in Shanxi and watched. Although Yuan Shikai rebelled against his relatives, yuan shikai could not easily offend Yan Xishan when he could not see the situation clearly.
Because when Yuan Shikai was proclaimed emperor, Yan Xishan was one of the important car lifters. Not only did he dedicate 20,000 oceans, but he also constantly sent telegrams to Yuan Shikai saying: With great talents, taking advantage of the momentum of great achievements, resolutely saving the country and saving the people, and doing nothing to humble himself.
Yuan Shikai was very satisfied, and as soon as he ascended the throne, he made Yan Xishan a first-class marquis. Other good boys, while struggling, while dreaming of "three thousand miles away from the marquis", but Yan Xishan's marquis is very simple. It really is, people are more popular than dead people. After the marquis of Yan Xishan, once the spring breeze was proud! It seems that in 1913, in order to be able to hold Yuan Shikai's thigh, he quit Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Kuomintang, how correct.
What did you expect that now, the wind direction has become too fast, why did Yuan Shikai's thigh suddenly become so weak? Yan Xishan was silent. I even regretted why I was loyal to Yuan Shikai after General Cai Yi and Tang Jiyao raised an army, angrily denouncing Tang Jiyao as "disloyal and unjust, unkind and unwise." Isn't that just making trouble for yourself?
At this moment, Yuan Shikai's "holy will" arrived, and he ordered him to lead his troops to quickly enter Baoding Province, where after receiving military supplies, he went to the front line to fight Cai Yi! This is "begging for thieves". Yan Xishan left without saying a word, and came to Baoding Province with his soldiers, and after Ma Yu finished receiving the military supplies, he changed his banner: I Yan Xishan support the defending army, and it is bound to overthrow Yuan Shikai.
Yuan Shikai was mad, and Yan Xishan made a lot of money!
Yan Xishan's two early job hoppings, the first time he quit Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Kuomintang, let him hug Yuan Shikai's thigh as he wished, and sat firmly in Shanxi. The second time was equivalent to playing a piece of Yuan Shikai, taking Yuan Shikai's money and military supplies, but turning against Yuan Shikai and jumping back!
These are the warlords of the Republic of China, and no one should say anything about anyone. It's just that Yan Xishan is more explicit. This is actually the reason why he has never been able to rush out of Shanxi and develop so slowly. Therefore, don't think that Yan Xishan is only satisfied to be a "king of Shanxi". The root cause is that he is too ruthless and ruthless, and he dares to take it out as a chip, and with this style, can he laugh to the end?
Second and fifth girls: Yan Huiqing
In "Bright Sword", when Li Yunlong besieged Ping'an City, Ding Wei, one of the iron triangles in the northwest of Jin, once said: "He Li Yunlong must have a division, he dares to fight Taiyuan!" ”
Although this sentence is a statement of Li Yunlong's courage, it accidentally brought out a topic: Is Yan Xishan really so vulnerable? Can a division really lay down his old nest, Taiyuan City?
The answer has been given by history: In 1948 AD, our People's Liberation Army mobilized nearly 320,000 troops and more than 1,300 artillery pieces, which lasted for six months, and finally took Taiyuan City at the cost of nearly 45,000 casualties. The Battle of Taiyuan was thus called "the most tragic battle in the Liberation War."
And Yan Xishan also took out 500 bottles of potassium cyanide during the Battle of Taiyuan and said: To coexist and die with Taiyuan! As a result, he once again showed the face of "turning his face ruthlessly, anything can be used as a chip", after seeing that the situation was not good, he got on the plane and ran, so who represented him and stayed in Taiyuan?
It was Yan Xishan's "Five Sisters", named Yan Huiqing!
Speaking of Yan Huiqing, she is also known as a popular figure for a while, and was once named "Shanxi Meiling". That is, the Shanxi version of Song Meiling. The meaning is already very simple, just as Soong Mei ling can influence Chiang Kai-shek, and Yan Huiqing's influence on Yan Xishan is also extraordinary.
Yan Huiqing was 27 years younger than Yan Xishan, the fifth daughter of his uncle Yan Shudian, so she was called "Five Sisters" or "Five Girls", while Yan Xishan called her "Five Fresh Sons".
In 1917, Yan Xishan opened a school in his hometown as an overseer and governor. Yan Huiqing also began basic education such as reading and literacy, what is the effect? Anyway, it is definitely not as strong as Song Meiling, so that English is more slippery than Chinese. According to the "Yan Mu Trivia" written by Yan Xishan's attendant secretary, it is rare to see Yan Huiqing reading and writing.
As for the name of "Shanxi Meiling", don't think too much, Yan Huiqing "is just a typical housewife". She was just The exclusive life secretary of Yan Xishan's side. And many of Yan Xishan's important decisions have never evaded her, which makes Yan Huiqing's "appearance rate" very high.
Fairly speaking, Yan Huiqing is a woman with an unfortunate fate, and her first husband is called Qu Peihuan, which is an arranged marriage. But in the beginning, Qu Peihuan also gave people unlimited expectations, not only handsome, but also studied in Japan. As a result, after marriage, he was infected with vices such as sucking noodles and playing morphine, and soon disappeared.
Yan Huiqing saw this and wanted a divorce. Yan Xishan originally supported it, but what was the old lady, that is, Yan Xishan's father, angry: Three from four virtues, from one to the end? Yan Huiqing could only dispel her thoughts, but fortunately, in about a year, Qu Peihuan died, and Yan Huiqing was finally liberated.
At this moment, Yan Huiqing became a "goddess" in the eyes of many people, a coal merchant who made a fortune from Yan Xishan, called Liang Shangchun, and immediately took action. He had a nephew named Liang Yanwu, who studied at Waseda University in Japan. Therefore, Liang Shangchun took great pains to finally assemble this marriage and forced his nephew Liang Yanwu to come back - what books to read, hurry back and hug his thighs!
All of Liang Yanwu's expenses were borne by Liang Shangchun, and he could only obediently drop out of school and return to school and be ordered to get married! It is conceivable that this second marriage was a "bundle of interests". How can Liang Yanwu look up to Yan Huiqing? Zeng said very bluntly: "We are a political couple, a person to do something in the career, no backing can not do."
Yan Huiqing also understood that since her marriage was a "bundle of interests" and was doomed to be unable to get rid of it, it was only you who played with you, and I did mine. As a result, Yan Huiqing became an open lover with Yan Xishan's cousin and nephew Liang Huazhi. And Liang Yanwu did not suffer losses, and married a woman from Fenyang.
So how does Yan Xishan view this? In a word: open your eyes and close your eyes. Not to mention, he had more important things to do. Therefore, as long as Yan Huiqing can take care of her own life and living, nothing else is a problem at all! And Yan Huiqing also understood Yan Xishan's thoughts, so she took good care of Yan Xishan. Therefore, the relationship between the two is not as rumored by the outside world: Yan Huiqing is Yan Xishan's confidant!
In this way, it was 1949 AD, Yan Xishan, the "king of Shanxi", when he came to an end, saw that the building would fall, and he had a word first, he wanted to coexist and die with Taiyuan, if the real black did not mention the white and ran away, it was bound to float in the hearts of the people, and how to stick to Taiyuan?
Moreover, although Chiang Kai-shek went into the wilderness, he still seemed to be the chief scoop, so what if he wanted to pursue the matter? Now this situation is no better than before, and I have lost my bargaining with Chiang Kai-shek! Therefore, if Yan Xishan wanted to escape taiyuan safely, he must leave a "vest"!
Third, a chip to ask Chiang Kai-shek for credit
On March 28, 1949, Acting President Li Zongren suddenly sent a telegram to Yan Xishan, inviting him to go to Nanjing immediately to discuss state affairs!
Yan Xishan was embarrassed. I have prepared "500 bottles of potassium cyanide poison, vowing to coexist and die with Taiyuan", but the president's telegram, coming so urgently, must have something bigger to find me, if I don't go, it will be too much "buddy meaning". Finally he declared, "I will come back in as little as three or five days, and as much as ten days and eight days." ”
In this way, Yan Xishan hurriedly boarded the plane and left, while Yan Huiqing stayed in Taiyuan on his behalf, without any doubt at all.
So why did Li Zongren suddenly send a telegram? It's all 1949, and there could be something "bigger." It was none other than Yan Xishan, who once again sacrificed the routine he had used to fool Yuan Shikai, and while using "500 bottles of potassium cyanide" to express his determination, he secretly pleaded with Jia Jingde, vice president of the Examination Yuan, to go to Li Zongren to lobby him to serve as vice president of the Executive Yuan.
That's why Li Zongren sent this telegram! I have to say that Chiang Kai-shek's so-called inferiority objectively gave Yan Xishan the opportunity to escape for his life, and if Chiang Kai-shek had been president, it is estimated that Yan Xishan would never have been so easy if he wanted to escape. After all, at that time, everyone understood that Chiang Kai-shek's departure from the field was to retreat into the wilderness, and he still firmly controlled the power, and Li Zongren also needed the support of Yan Xishan, so he took what he needed.
It's just a pity that the fifth girl, Yan Huiqing, was kept in the dark until her death. Because Yan Xishan left, the arrangement could be described as seamless, and her lover Liang Huazhi was also left behind, and was responsible for contacting Yan Xishan, and all secrets had to go through Liang Huazhi before Yan Xishan could be informed. Therefore, after Yan Xishan escaped, Liang Huazhi became Taiyuan's "pawn family".
On April 24, 1949, the People's Liberation Army launched a final general offensive against Taiyuan City. Yan Huiqing knew that it was difficult to escape and hid in the basement. Then, written by Liang Huazhi, he sent a final fatal telegram to Yan Xishan and chose to commit suicide. The fatal message is as follows:
The sound of artillery shells for days was deafening. The bullets flew like rain, and they were terrified. Smoke filled the room and a sea of fire; The room was dark and dead, and all thoughts were gray. The general trend has gone, and the street battles are not supported. Xu Duan went to the disaster, and Dun Hou was martyred. Tens of millions of soldiers and civilians, bloody streets. Five hundred colleagues, cheng ren in the fire.
Although the sister is a female stream, her death will has been decided. Seeing the jade shattering, how dare you destroy it? Lindian Yiyi, not all said! This life is over, and there is no end to it. Goodbye in the next life, may it not be illusory. The moment when the sister generates electricity is still in the human world, and the eldest brother has become a dead world when he reads electricity. The front building was on fire, and the back was avalanche. Death in the eyebrows, peace of mind. Oh, the fruit of the heavens has called Yahweh? Pain, or the mercy of the patriarchs?
Words drip blood, especially the second paragraph. Obviously, yan Huiqing still regarded Yan Xishan as his big brother until his death! I didn't know that what happened to her today was entirely due to Yan Xishan, and I didn't know that if she didn't choose to commit suicide, she would be born again.
Speaking of Yan Xishan, after receiving this telegram from his sister, although he was in tears, there was then a wave of divine manipulation, which publicly declared to the outside world: When Taiyuan was captured, five or six hundred of his subordinates, led by Liang Dunhou, acting chairman of the provincial government, committed suicide and "Cheng ren". It is known as "Taiyuan Five Hundred Perfect People".
Chiang Kai-shek naturally understood the significance of this so-called "Five Hundred Perfect People in Taiyuan" and began to vigorously shape it. That is to say, the death of his sister Yan Huiqing eventually became a chip for Yan Xishan to ask Chiang Kai-shek for credit, and the two sides tacitly played.
However, the problem is that the so-called "five hundred perfect people" introduced by Yan Xishan and Chiang Kai-shek are completely two concepts than the "five hundred colleagues" mentioned in Yan Huiqing's fatal telegram before his death.
According to the investigation report of "Taiyuan Five Hundred Complete People", it is confirmed that a considerable number of names are fictional, and in addition, some names still have their own people, and they are certainly not suicides... This is the truth!
Yan Xishan, although no one can deny that he was a heavyweight figure in the Republic of China period, but in order to escape, he used his sister as a "vest" and eventually became his sacrifice! Today, we can only lament Yan Huiqing's fate.
So-called, the tide of history is mighty, and those who go along with it will perish. But although history is ruthless, it is written by people with emotions, which is really the Tao is ruthless, but there are feelings...
