As one of Zhang Zuolin's five tiger generals, Jiang Dengxuan is definitely the core figure of the Feng warlords, and the reason why Jiang Dengxuan became one of Zhang Zuolin's number one tiger generals is that he is bold on the one hand, and on the other hand, his ability is good and experienced, and he is a rare talent. However, the death of such a core figure of the warlord was very tragic, because he died not at the hands of the enemy, but at the hands of his colleague Guo Songling.
Why did Guo Songling, as a colleague, want to kill Jiang Dengxuan?
Jiang Dengxuan is a bold and sincere person, Guo Songling is a person with faith and a deep city, and he is very ruthless.
Bold people, under normal circumstances, are easy to offend people when they speak, and concubines are easy to be hated.
Jiang Dengxuan and Guo Songling were both loyal to Zhu Qinglan when he served as the deputy overseer of the Sichuan Army, Jiang Dengxuan was the chief of the general staff of the Sichuan Overseer at that time, and Guo Songling was the battalion commander.
It can be seen from the positions of the two that Jiang Dengxuan is more treated by Zhu Qinglan, but Guo Songling is not, so Jiang Dengxuan started much higher than Guo Songling.
Due to the difference in status, Jiang Dengxuan and Guo Songling did not become good friends, so naturally it was impossible for them to become brothers. After that, although the two worked together as a warlord, they were only colleagues and had no affection.
We can see from Guo Songling's attitude towards Jiang Dengxuan, Guo Songling is very unkind to see Jiang Dengxuan, and the reason why he doesn't want to see Jiang Dengxuan is mainly because Guo Songling's jealousy makes him unwilling to remember his old feelings.
Among the warlords of the Feng faction, in addition to the struggle of the veteran faction, the newly rising non-commissioned officer faction, the Lu Da faction, also had serious problems of struggle, and the non-commissioned officer faction had all studied in Japan and graduated from the Japanese non-commissioned officer school, and they were very united with each other, and the representative figures of the non-commissioned officer faction were Yang Yuting, Jiang Dengxuan, Han Linchun, and others. The representative figure of the Lu Da faction is from the Beiyang Army University, and the core figure is Guo Songling.
The two factions fought for their own interests, Yang Yuting, the core figure of the non-commissioned officer faction, was deeply trusted by Zhang Zuolin, and Guo Songling, the core figure of the Lu faction, was trusted by the young marshal Zhang Xueliang. Guo Songling looked down on the non-commissioned officer faction very much, and felt that although they were capable, their practical ability was average, and they should not be reused.
In the Second Zhifeng War, Zhang Zuolin strongly supported the non-commissioned officer faction, so he focused on the non-commissioned officer faction in terms of rewards.
Zhang Zuolin originally arranged for Guo Songling to serve as the overseer of Anhui, and Jiang Dengxuan to be the overseer of Jiangsu. But Yang Yuting also wanted to serve in the local area, so Yang Yuting became the overseer of Jiangsu, Jiang Dengxuan became the overseer of Anhui, and Guo Songling had nothing.
Guo Songling is very dissatisfied with this, he feels that his credit is higher than Yang Yuting, why is it that Yang Yuting and Jiang Dengxuan profit when the reward is awarded, but he has nothing, it can be said that Guo Songling's dissatisfaction makes the future Jiang Dengxuan ending very miserable.
In 1925, Guo Songling telegraphed against Feng, the whole country was shocked, as the backbone of the Feng warlord, and Jiang Dengxuan, who was an old colleague, got off the train to find Guo Songling when he passed through Luanzhou Railway Station, hoping to talk to him.
Guo Songling was very stubborn and demanded that Zhang Zuolin must give up his position to Zhang Xueliang, otherwise he would not stop acting, and at the same time dissuade Jiang Dengxuan from rebelling with him.
Whether he was following Zhu Qinglan or Zhang Zuolin, Jiang Dengxuan was very loyal, so he rejected Guo Songling's suggestion and scolded him, thinking that Guo Songling's anti-Feng was a very wrong choice.
Guo Songling was very unhappy when he heard Jiang Dengxuan's scolding, and asked Jiang Dengxuan to be shot, and he also prepared a thin wooden coffin for hastily burial.
After Guo Songling's defeat, Han Linchun found Jiang Dengxuan's cemetery and prepared to bury him, opened his coffin and found that the coffin was full of scratches, from which it can be seen that Jiang Dengxuan did not die after being shot, his death was mainly due to suffocation due to lack of oxygen after being buried.
We can know from the above that Jiang Dengxuan's death, mainly because although he had a friendship with Guo Songling, their friendship was very average, and on the other hand, Jiang Dengxuan and Guo Songling belonged to the two factions of the Feng warlords, and these two factions belonged to the confrontation faction among the Feng warlords, so it was impossible to reconcile, and finally when Guo Songling rebelled, Jiang Dengxuan scolded him, which made Guo Songling very unhappy, and finally killed Jiang Dengxuan.
