1. Whampoa First
Jiang Xianyun, a native of Xintian, Hunan, was a member of the Communist Party before entering Huangpu, and few people knew that his introducer to the party was Mao Zedong, and after joining the party, he was sent by Mao Zedong to the Anyuan Road Mine to carry out workers' activities; Jiang Xianyun, who was in his early twenties, ran a night school in Anyuan, established a party organization, and carried out the workers' movement in full swing; the reactionaries at that time regarded him as the number one enemy, and offered a reward of one thousand to catch Jiang Xianyun alive.
Jiang Xianyun graduated from the Hunan Provincial Third Normal School and was the director general of the Hunan Students' Federation during the May Fourth Movement. In 1924, Dr. Sun Yat-sen founded the Whampoa Military Academy, and Jiang Xianyun was introduced by Mao Zedong and Xia Xi to huangpu, and jiang Xianyun was the first in the entrance examination and graduation examination of more than 1,000 people in Huangpu.
Some people have lamented, it is a pity that Huangpu does not issue gold medals in the first phase, otherwise the big and small gold medals will fall into Jiang Xianyun's pocket, he is the real Huangpu Yingjie, Wen Wu is not the same as not taking the first, Chen Geng is angry, He Zheng is cold and red-eyed, and many students are proud of him. In order to embrace Jiang Xianyun, Principal Jiang didn't know how much thought he had moved, and he didn't know how much gray hair had fallen, but the Tao was different, and Principal Jiang was still empty after all.
2. Founding the Youth Army Association
The Whampoa Military Academy was opened in May 1924, and at about the same time, the merchant group incident occurred in Guangzhou, which not only controlled the economy of Guangzhou, but also threatened the Nationalist government in Guangzhou at that time, and the revolutionary situation in Guangzhou plummeted. Jiang Xianyun suddenly had a bold idea to unite the young revolutionary soldiers and establish a revolutionary organization to oppose the reactionaries at that time.
Jiang Xianyun quickly took action, and after communicating with Chen Geng and Li Zhilong and other progressive revolutionary soldiers, began to prepare for the "China Young Soldiers' Federation", and he reported the preparations at that time to President Jiang and Mr. Liao Zhongkai, who strongly approved of it.
Principal Jiang said: "Very good, very good, you let go to do it, I fully support." ”
Liao Zhongkai said: "This is a good thing and a good idea, and I will definitely support you." ”
Some people think that Liao Zhongkai's sincere support for Jiang Xianyun's founding of the Youth Army Association, and President Jiang's support has a perfunctory and reluctant feeling, in fact, this is a misunderstanding of Chiang, under the circumstances at that time, the two opposing factions on Huangpu Island had not yet formed, the purpose of the Youth Army Association was to make enemies with the warlords and reactionaries at that time, which did not conflict with the ideological essence of Chiang Kai-shek at that time, he thought that the core of the Youth Army Association was Huangpu students, the core of Huangpu was none other than President Jiang, and the prestige of Wang Jingwei, his old rival of the Kuomintang at that time, was higher than his. Jiang expanded his influence through this organization, so his proud protégé founded the Youth Army Association, and As the principal, Jiang did actively support the creation of the Youth Army Association.
After several months of preparation, the Youth Army Association was officially proclaimed on February 1, 1925, and the inaugural meeting was unprecedented, and Jiang Xianyun was elected as the only executive member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee. After the establishment of the Youth Army Association, the Eastern Crusade began, and the Whampoa Student Army sang triumphantly all the way.
After the end of the Crusade, He Zhihan, executive member of the Youth Army Association and one of the three masters of Huangpu, founded the "Sun Wen Doctrine Association" at the behest of Wang Bailing; if the "Youth Army Association" is a progressive organization dominated by Communist Party members, and the "Sun Wen Doctrine Association" is the base camp of the Kuomintang's rightists, the establishment of the two Huangpu student organizations was the opposite at the beginning, the young huangpu students began to choose sides, And Jiang, as the principal, was able to treat him fairly, and as the differences between the kuomintang and the Communist party became more and more serious, Jiang was more partial to the "Sun Wen-li association." However, President Jiang still did not give up his efforts to woo and win over Jiang Xianyun.
3. The Northern Expedition is concentric
In July 1926, the Whampoa Military Academy was preparing for the Northern Expedition, Chiang organized the General Headquarters of the Northern Expedition to serve as commander-in-chief himself, the first person he invited was Jiang Xianyun, he personally wrote a letter of earnestness, urging Jiang Xianyun to come and take office, at that time Jiang Xianyun left Huangpu because of Chiang's anger at expelling the Huangpu Communists on March 20, 1926, he was serving as a teacher at Mao Zedong's peasant movement training center, while participating in the strike of the workers' pickets, the leader of the workers' movement at that time, Liu Shaoqi, the leader of the workers' movement. Zhang Tailei liked and liked the best student in Huangpu, but Zhang Guotao tried his best to exclude him.
Upon receiving President Jiang's invitation, Jiang Xianyun reported to Chen Yannian, then leader of the Guangdong Provincial CPC Committee, for the first time, and with Chen Yannian's approval, Jiang Xianyun came to Huangpu to report to President Jiang, and when he saw his proud protégé come in, President Jiang Xianyun took Jiang Xianyun's hand with a spring breeze on his face and said earnestly: "Wushan, it is good to come, I need you very much, others cannot replace you." Then he took out the letter of appointment that he had already prepared, which read, "Secretary of the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Expedition, Adjutant of the Commander-in-Chief."
Later, during the Northern Expedition, President Jiang Xianyun treated Jiang Xianyun with courtesy, consulted Jiang Xianyun in everything, and when he encountered things that could not be decided, especially the personnel adjustment in the army, he called Jiang Xianyun to his office and asked Jiang Xianyun to give him ideas.
Many people praised: "Teachers and students are the dragons and phoenixes among people, and there is no one who has such a tacit understanding." ”
The reporters published the tacit work of the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition and his most proud protégé as a good story in the press, as well as photographs of the two men.
Principal Jiang saw it, and he was very happy in his heart.
The students of the Whampoa Department saw it and proudly introduced it to people: "This is our principal, this is our classmate." "Envy is palpable.
The Communists who were expelled by Chiang Kai-shek saw it, and the taste in their hearts was a mixture of five tastes.
Zhang Guotao saw it, and his face was full of doubt.
And Jiang Xianyun saw it himself, silently, and he knew in his heart that the label of being the first protégé of Principal Jiang could not be torn off.
4. Part ways
After the Northern Expedition occupied Nanchang, Jiang was determined to break with the Communists, because Jiang Xianyun was a staunch communist, and Jiang decided to finally have a showdown with Jiang Xianyun, and at this moment there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that Jiang Xianyun could return to his side.
Jiang Xianyun, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, said: "The First Division of the Northern Expedition has been completed, and the division commander Wang Bailing was defeated and ran to Shanghai, Wushan, I want you to serve as the division commander, what do you think?" ”
"I'm still young and can't take on this responsibility." Jiang Xianyun said.
"Seniority is fine, as long as you make a statement and quit the Communist Party." In front of his proud protégé, Principal Jiang was always smiling brightly.
"Then you should choose another division commander!" Jiang Xianyun's words were unexpectedly firm, and he walked out of Principal Jiang's room after speaking.
Looking at Jiang Xianyun's back, Jiang Ding said again: "Give you two months to consider." By this time, Jiang had not given up on winning over Jiang Xianyun.
After Jiang Xianyun lingered for more than a month, he did not quit and threw himself into Wuhan.
On April 12, 1927, Chiang raised his butcher knife to the Communists in Shanghai.
In Wuhan, 300,000 people held a meeting to please Jiang, and Jiang Xianyun served as the chairman of the conference and made an impassioned speech, and Jiang Xianyun angrily denounced: "Jiang Xianyun is not born, and there is no peace in the world." ”
The teachers and students of the past have parted ways at this moment, and the fate of Erjiang has all ended.
5. Die generously
Although Jiang Xianyun resolutely broke with Jiang Xianyun, Wuhan did not embrace Jiang Xianyun with open arms, and after the meeting, many Huangpu students pointed at Jiang Xianyun with the newspaper that had recently published a photo of the two of them, which Jiang Xianyun did not care about, but at that time, there were constantly people within the Communist Party who doubted him and attacked him, which made him extremely chilled. This man was Chiang Kai-shek's first protégé, and the idea of personal promotion and wealth was particularly serious, and if he did not turn to Chiang Kai-shek, I would not be surnamed Zhang. “
In the end, Zhang Guotao reneged on his word, and in the end, Jiang Xianyun did not go to Jiang Xianyun to die generously, and he did not change his surname before his death, but the crimes he committed against the Huangpu students were difficult to describe, and Jiang Xianyun's sacrifice was largely due to his toss and blows.
In the face of Zhang Guotao's endless censorship, Jiang Xianyun was suddenly a little discouraged, and he confided to his friends: "Why is it so difficult to be a person?" It's better to be so hard than to die. ”
During that time, everyone was very busy, and no one noticed that Jiang Xianyun's mood was very low.
Jiang Xianyun finally resolved to die, but his will was not depressed, he chose a heroic and tragic way to die, he wanted to use the form of death to make his life bloom the last light.
On May 28, 2017, the Northern Expeditionary Army fought a decisive battle with the Feng Army in Linying, the Northern Expeditionary Army had only two divisions, and the Feng Army was not less than 80,000 people, and there were also aircraft and tanks to assist in the battle, and the battle situation was very unfavorable to the Northern Expeditionary Army.
Jiang Xianyun, as the commander of the Seventy-seventh Regiment, demanded that the regiment attack from the right flank, disrupted the enemy's overall defense, and surrounded the enemy artillery position at Shizhuang, but the troops suffered heavy casualties, Jiang Xianyun was unfortunately shot in the left leg, and the soldiers wanted to carry him to a safe place, but Jiang Xianyun refused, he demanded that his horse be led over, the bandage on his left leg be removed, the wound was pierced, he stepped on the big white horse, pulled out the command knife, pointed at the sky, and shouted proudly: "Charge forward, charge forward." ”
The officers and men of the Seventy-seventh Regiment immediately let out a roar of rage, stood up from behind the bunkers, and followed their senior, Jiang Xianyun, the Huangpu Jiaozi, toward the enemy position.
"Jiang Xianyun is gone!" The commander of the Twenty-sixth Division saw this scene not far away and sent someone to issue an order: "Tell Jiang Xianyun to come down." ”
Jiang Xianyun's great white horse undoubtedly became the target of the enemy, and a shell exploded around Jiang Xianyun, and Jiang Xianyun and his horse fell to the ground, and Jiang Xianyun was seriously injured.
"The division commander told you to go down." The division commander's messengers shouted hurriedly.
Jiang Xianyun struggled to get up and ordered the soldiers: "Quickly help me get on the horse, I will charge." He held the hilt of his sword in his hand, his face covered in blood, and stood majestically in the smoke.
Li Ba Shan is full of arrogance.
Jiang Xianyun pointed his sword at the sky, "Brothers rush." In the shouts, a man and a horse galloped towards the rain of bullets and bullets.
Another shell exploded around Jiang Xianyun, and Jiang Xianyun fell off his horse again and never stood up again.
A generation of Jie Huangpu Jiaozi Jiang Xianyun was heroically killed.
When the news of Jiang Xianyun's sacrifice came, Principal Jiang was silent in Nanchang, and Zhou Enlai, director of the Political Department of the Whampoa Military Academy, gave a long sigh, but Zhang Guotao was overjoyed in his heart, and he had one less fierce enemy on his way to a high position.
Finally, to repeat it again, Jiang Xianyun: a native of Xintian, Hunan, born on July 14, 1902, died on May 28, 1927.
