In the revolutionary years when china's modern heroes and geniuses were born, there were always some people who made people think. I think if you know anything about the Whampoa Military Academy, then you must know that the Whampoa Military Academy is the most outstanding in the first and fourth phases, and a large number of outstanding generals have emerged, such as the famous God of War Lin Biao is the Huangpu Phase IV.
Today, aunt thirteen will introduce you to the story of Jiang Xianyun, a super scholar in Huangpu, which may be unfamiliar to many people, the main reason is his untimely death.
Jiang Xianyun, born in 1902, is a native of Hunan. He participated in the "May Fourth Movement", during which he gradually grew into a leader of the Hunan student movement, was quite talented, and was deeply appreciated by Chairman Mao. In 1921, Jiang Xianyun joined the Communist Party of China under the introduction of Chairman Mao, thus beginning a brilliant and short life.
In January 1924, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party began their first cooperation, and chairman Mao recommended Jiang Xianyun to enter the Huangpu Phase I with the strength of the absolute first place in the 1,000 applicants for the Huangpu Military Academy. During his time at the military academy, Jiang Xianyun devoted himself to the study of ancient and modern works on the art of war, and at that time he was known as the head of the "Huangpu Three Masters". (Huangpu Sanjie: Jiang Xianyun, He Zhihan, Chen Geng)
How strong is Jiang Xianyun? Chiang Kai-shek once commented: If there is a rebellion among the students of the Whampoa Military Academy, then only Chiang Xianyun can put an end to it. If the Northern Expedition is successful in the future, after we are disarmed and returned to the field, the only person who can lead the Whampoa Military Academy will be Jiang Xianyun.
Not only that, but even Zhou Enlai, then director of the political department of the Whampoa Military Academy, praised Jiang Xianyun as a "highly qualified student in the military." In 1925, Jiang Xianyun graduated with the first place and was assigned to Zhou Enlai as the secretary of the Political Department.
In October 1925, the National Revolutionary Army began the Second Crusade, and Jiang Xianyun was appointed as the party representative of the 7th Regiment of the 3rd Division of the 1st Army. Although the strength of the National Revolutionary Army at this time was somewhat stronger than that of the First Crusade, when attacking Huizhou City, Chen Jiongming's stronghold, it suffered repeated setbacks, and as a result, Huizhou City could not be attacked for a long time.
Jiang Xianyun immediately organized a death squad and took the lead. Although he was shot three times and stabbed several times during this period, he still insisted on fighting and took the lead in climbing the head of Huizhou City. After the battle, chiang kai-shek saw that Jiang Xianyun was full of wounds and sighed: In the past, Zhao Zilong was full of guts; today, Jiang Xianyun is full of wounds!
In July 1926, 100,000 members of the National Revolutionary Army officially began the Northern Expedition. When Chiang Kai-shek was supervising the battle in Nanchang, he was suddenly surrounded by the warlord Sun Chuanfang's army, and at this time, Jiang Xianyun served as Chiang Kai-shek's attendant secretary, and he calmly and unhurriedly covered chiang kai-shek's safe escape from danger.
In early 1927, Chiang Kai-shek's conspiracy against the revolution began to be exposed, and Chiang Xianyun refused to be wooed by Chiang Kai-shek's high-ranking official Houlu. He then came to Wuhan, Hubei Province, and served as the captain of the Hubei Provincial Workers' Picket Corps. In the face of Chiang Kai-shek's rebellion, the Nationalist government in Wuhan announced the expulsion of Chiang Kai-shek from the party.
In April 1927, the Nationalist government in Wuhan decided to continue the Northern Expedition after discussion, and appointed Jiang Xianyun as the party representative and regimental commander of the 77th Regiment of the 26th Division of the First Column of the Northern Expeditionary Army, leading the army to march into Henan. Unfortunately, Jiang Xianyun died on May 28 during an attack on Linying, Henan, at the age of 25.
On June 8, 1927, Zhou Enlai personally presided over Jiang Xianyun's memorial service in Wuchang and delivered a deep speech, and Yun Daiying delivered a eulogy.
Some experts said that if Jiang Xianyun was alive, his status would be comparable to Lin Biao's, and the thirteenth aunt did not dare to agree with this. Judging from the fact that Jiang Xianyun formed a death squad during the Second Crusade and took the lead as a soldier, his courage was indeed commendable, and there was no doubt about it. But as a leading general, at the same time, you should do your own protection work and strategize, not "the courage of the puppeteer"! (Not an accusation)
Jiang Xianyun's short and brilliant life, from the early years of chairman Mao's guidance to become the leader of the student movement, to later become a wizard of the Whampoa Military Academy, and finally became a famous general of the Northern Expedition, unfortunately died young. How many people in the world could there be such a athlete at that time?
