Chiang Kai-shek fled to Taiwan in 1949 and never returned to his hometown of Fenghua. This was also his regret until 1964, when he received a **.
Unexpectedly, he cried regardless of his image, and some experts once commented on Chiang Kai-shek:Strong, assertive and suspicious.
It stands to reason that it is absolutely impossible for his temperament and emotional side to be revealed in front of outsiders.
So why is he so excited at this time?
What's even more puzzling is his next sentence: "I might as well know that Chiang Kai-shek has always regarded *** as a thorn in his side, and the Communist Party is a thorn in the flesh."
But in the face of a **, Chiang Kai-shek was so out of shape, and he praised ***, which made people wonder, what kind of ** is this?
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Communist Party of China (CPC) launched a 43-day negotiation with Chongqing in order to strive for peace and democracy, and signed the Double Tenth Agreement.
In 1946, in order to strive for further democracy and peace, the premier again led a delegation of the Chinese Communist Party to negotiate with the Kuomintang, however, unfortunately, the negotiations eventually broke down. ** Led the delegation back to Yan'an.
Subsequently, there was a large-scale military conflict between the Kuomintang and the squadron, and in order to ease the tension, the prime minister negotiated with Marshall many times and demanded that the Kuomintang stop the civil war.
Under pressure from all sides, Chiang Kai-shek agreed to a 15-day truce. After a month, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party held talks again, but this time there were still a large number of differences on the reorganization of the armed forces, and no agreement could be reached.
When both sides refused to compromise, the premier had to meet directly with Chiang Kai-shek, and the prime minister proposed that the military and political issues should be resolved together, but Chiang Kai-shek did not agree.
In his mind, political issues can be put on the back burner, but the current military differences need to be resolved. Negotiations between the two sides have once again reached an impasse.
The prime minister made it clear at a press conference: "We have made concessions and promised not to station troops in certain places." However, the other side was still not satisfied, and demanded that all party, government, military, and civilian organizations withdraw. This is unacceptable and unreasonable. ”
**The premier's speech has already indicated the attitude of the CCP and has also effectively responded to Chiang Kai-shek's unreasonable demands. When the negotiations failed to achieve obvious results, Chiang Kai-shek declared war without declaring war, and the national affairs broke up.
Chiang Kai-shek gave up negotiations and unilaterally launched a provocation against the CCP, and thus the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party broke out. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) began full-scale in 1947.
After the battles of Liaoshen, Huaihai and Pingjin, the strength of the Kuomintang army was greatly weakened, while the morale of the PLA troops was greatly increased. At the beginning of 1949, Li Zongren served as the deputy ** to negotiate with the CCP, but in fact, Chiang Kai-shek had the final say.
The Kuomintang and the Communist Party held peace talks in Beiping, and the CCP proposed that the Kuomintang arrest 43 war criminals, including Chiang Kai-shek and Li Zongren, but Chiang Kai-shek naturally could not agree. The negotiations broke down again, and the CCP won the war that followed.
In the end, Chiang Kai-shek announced the end of the reign of Nanjing. Chiang Kai-shek fled for his life and hid in Taiwan. He also threatened to ** the mainland again.
Whether it was during the period of resistance against Japan or the War of Liberation, the CCP always sought negotiations with Chiang Kai-shek and tried to settle the internal disputes between the KMT and the CCP in a peaceful way. Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the CCP proposed peace talks in 1956.
But in the end, it all ended in failure. Chiang Kai-shek not only unilaterally tore up the treaty, but also repeatedly launched war provocations. Naturally, there was no need to endure it anymore, and the CCP had to wage a four-year war of liberation with Chiang Kai-shek.
In the face of Chiang Kai-shek's unreasonable behavior, the CCP can be said to have always maintained a restrained and calm state and fought for peace. Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to provoke a war.
Once, Chiang Kai-shek did something that made him feel ashamed of himself.
At that time, the Kuomintang led by Chiang Kai-shek was always in a disadvantageous position in the war with the CCP, which made him feel very panicked and very unhappy. At this time, the commander-in-chief He Jian suddenly thought of a bad idea.
He soon reported to Chiang Kai-shek that this was not a military-strategic plan for the idea of digging ancestral graves. Who's digging it?Naturally, it's *** home.
The reason why He Jian dared to give Chiang Kai-shek such a bad idea was that he thoroughly understood that Chiang Kai-shek was a superstitious person, and sure enough, Chiang Kai-shek listened to He Jian's idea and urged him to hurry up.
He Jian quickly left, but under everyone's protection, He Jian didn't find a location at all. He was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so he casually found a few white bones to confess. Chiang Kai-shek listened to him and was very happy.
However, a few years later, Chiang Kai-shek received news that the ancestral tomb of the Mao family was intact and had not been damaged at all. Chiang Kai-shek was furious, but it was never destroyed. At this time, he didn't realize what a repugnant act this was.
It wasn't until 1964 that he saw that his grave was well protected, and he left tears of remorse, ashamed of himself. It turned out that after knowing that his ancestral tomb had caused this calamity, ** never thought of retaliating against the grave of Chiang Kai-shek's ancestors.
Even when the People's Liberation Army occupied Fenghua, he specifically instructed the soldiers not to destroy the ancestral hall and other buildings of Chiang Kai-shek's family. In other words, not only did it not destroy, but it repaid the grievances with virtue and protected the ancestral tomb and ancestral hall of the Jiang family.
When Chiang Kai-shek learned about this, how could he not be ashamed. After all, after he fled to Taiwan, if there was anything on the mainland that he couldn't think aboutI am afraid that the ancestral tomb and ancestral hall of the Jiang family are not worshiped and worshipped.
There is such a sentence in "Homesickness" in Yu Guangzhong: "Homesickness is a low grave, I am outside, and my mother is inside." ”This sentence is particularly appropriate to describe Chiang Kai-shek's longing for his mother.
In 1949, seeing that the general trend had gone, Chiang Kai-shek moved his mind to flee to Taiwan under the persuasion of Chiang Ching-kuo.
And when he goes, he can't predict whether he will be able to return to Fenghua in this life. A few days before leaving, he specially led the whole family to Xikou to pay respects to his mother.
At this time, he was separated from his mother, and he was going to Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek was silent in front of the tomb for a long time, and finally couldn't help crying.
He knew that there was little hope of paying homage to his mother in the future, so he invited the people of the clan to a meal, hoping that the villagers would protect his mother's grave.
Later, when he lived in Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek missed his mother more and more because he could not worship all year round, especially when he knew that the People's Liberation Army had occupied Fenghua, and he almost couldn't sleep.
After all, he had done the destruction of people's ancestral graves before, and if the People's Liberation Army destroyed the ancestral graves of the Chiang family at this time, Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away in Taiwan, would have no way at all.
He worries all day long, and he doesn't think about tea and food. Sure enough, if the board doesn't hit you, you don't know that it hurts. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek sat on pins and needles all day long.
So when he saw that the ancestral tomb of the Jiang family was well protected, he couldn't control his emotions at all, even if there were outsiders present, he couldn't help but burst into tears. There is a longing for my mother in these tears, and more of a gratitude to ***.
In 1895, after the death of his father, Chiang Kai-shek's life with his mother was not as good as before, and he felt the warmth and coldness of the world at a young age
And his mother worked hard to raise him and his brother
Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek's filial piety to his mother was not only filial piety, but also respect.
Chiang Kai-shek wanted to study in Japan, and his mother was also very supportive, and she took out all her savings. It was also because Chiang Kai-shek went to Japan to study that he had the opportunity to get acquainted with Mr. Sun Yat-sen and was highly used by Mr. Sun Yat-sen.
His mother knew that Chiang Kai-shek had work to do, and she never bothered him. And Chiang Kai-shek has always been entangled in official business, and he has not had time to go home to visit his mother.
He was ashamed when he learned that his mother was sick. Immediately took his mother to Shanghai, Chiang Kai-shek saw his haggard mother, and his heart was even more sad.
For many years, he had not been able to serve his mother, and if it weren't for her illness, he probably wouldn't have had time to visit her.
Thinking of this, Chiang Kai-shek involuntarily left tears. In the days that followed, Chiang Kai-shek stayed with his mother almost every day.
Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek was so busy and had to take care of himself, his mother couldn't bear it, so she told him that work was important. But Chiang Kai-shek just smiled and still stayed by her side.
A few days later, Chiang Kai-shek was surprised by the sudden aggravation of his mother's condition, and at this time there were important military affairs in Guangzhou waiting for Chiang Kai-shek to deal with.
Loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, and Chiang Kai-shek realized the profound meaning of this sentence more deeply at this time.
He still chose to go to Guangzhou to handle military affairs. But he always missed Xikou's mother. The military affairs were quickly dealt with, and Chiang Kai-shek hurried back to Xikou to see his mother.
However, Chiang Kai-shek still didn't have time to see his mother for the last time, which also became his biggest regret.
After his mother died, he thought that he would be buried next to his mother in the future. However, his subsequent actions gave him no chance to do so at all.
Even the annual tomb sweep no longer has the ability to come to my mother's grave in person.
All this can only be counted as his "self-inflicted." "Fortunately, *** repaid his grievances with virtue and did not destroy the ancestral tomb of the Jiang family, so that he could still sacrifice his mother on the day of Qingming and cold food. Xikou has also become a nostalgia that he can never avoid.
On the eve of the victory of the Liberation War, Chiang Kai-shek had already begun to arrange his own way backHe will be 110 tons ** and worth 1$400 million in foreign exchange with ** shipped to Taiwan.
Chiang Kai-shek also made a final effort to win the hearts and minds of the people. He held a special banquet in Nanjing, and the participants at the banquet were all academicians who had just been selected.
And the purpose of his banquet was to persuade these academicians to go to Taiwan with him. Money is the foundation of economic construction, and talent is also, these truths Chiang Kai-shek naturally understood.
However, ** can be taken away, and how can people's hearts be easily taken away.
In the end, only 9 people agreed to go to Nanjing with Chiang Kai-shek. In any case, at least someone went with him, and Chiang Kai-shek still felt a little comforted in his heart.
As the former principal of the Whampoa Military Academy, Chiang Kai-shek still has some skills in knowing people and being good at their duties. During the war, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to establish his own descendant troops, that is, he wanted to have his own combat troops.
Chiang Kai-shek's mind was going through the Whampoa generals over and over again, and at this time, he suddenly remembered a person. This person is Wang Yaowu. Wang Yaowu performed quite well when he was at the Whampoa Military Academy, and he was always remembered by Chiang Kai-shek.
Wang Yaowu grew up in a poor family and had no conditions for reading and writing. In order to learn Xi, he worked in a factory and went to night school every night to learn Xi cultural knowledge.
With his efforts, he was successfully admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy and became the third cadet. The difficulty of the assessment and admission of the Whampoa Military Academy was obvious to all in the social background at that time.
With the knowledge he Xi learned in night school, Wang Yaowu was admitted to the Whampoa military. It has to be impressive. In just 8 years, he has grown into a high-level general. Chiang Kai-shek also saw his ability and favored him.
Wang Yaowu was soon promoted to commander of the Fourth Front Army, and Wang Yaowu did not live up to Chiang Kai-shek's trust. After receiving his appointment, he strictly administered the army and encouraged officers and men to learn Xi military skills.
Under the leadership of Wang Yaowu, many of the armies of his unit became Chiang Kai-shek's trump card army. It can be said that Chiang Kai-shek's ability to win so many battles also has a certain relationship with his knowledge of people and his good duties.
Therefore, when he was about to flee to Taiwan, he still wanted to choose a group of his henchmen and bring them to Taiwan together. After all, if you want to build Taiwan, money alone is absolutely not enough.
However, at this time, he no longer won the hearts of the people. The so-called one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and Chiang Kai-shek at this time no longer won the hearts of the people. What he did during the War of Liberation was seen by everyone.
It is not easy to win people's trust, but it can be said that losing the hearts and minds of the people can be said to be instantaneous. When Shanghai was liberated in 1949, the PLA troops led by ** slept along the streets in order not to disturb the citizens of Shanghai.
Prior to this, the Kuomintang was in Shanghai, and the Shanghai business community was in a mess by the Kuomintang. The two are contrasted, and the superiority is immediate. What people see is the attitude of the Communist Party and the People's Liberation Army (PLA) that they are dedicated to serving the people.
Chiang Kai-shek, who was not popular with the people, saw only oppression and exploitation in the Kuomintang, and even if he fled to Taiwan, there were very few people willing to follow.
In addition to being unpopular with the people, Chiang Kai-shek's mind and pattern cannot be compared with ***.
The protection of the ancestral tomb of the Jiang family not only reflects the mind, but also allows people to see the far-sighted political literacy. The protection of the ancestral grave of the Chiang family is also the greatest sincerity shown to Chiang Kai-shek.
In other words, despite Chiang Kai-shek's repeated provocations, he was bent on fighting the mainland when he retreated to Taiwan.
But *** has always adhered to the principle of peace, after all, if Taiwan can be liberated in a peaceful way, then why bother to fight. When a war is fought, it is the people who suffer.
Chiang Kai-shek's biggest "weakness" after retreating to Taiwan is the ancestral tomb of the Chiang family, so when he saw the **, he was probably more than a little grateful to the *** in his heart.
