Hu Zongnan was **, Jiang was silent, and Chen said that he understood.
Li Mengbiao, an unknown figure, suddenly launched an attack on Hu Zongnan, who had just arrived in Taiwan. He united with more than 40 "supervisory committees" of the Kuomintang "Supervisory Yuan" and not only handed over an elaborate ** document to the "Supervisory Yuan," but also published it in Taiwan's newspapers.
This made Taiwan's ** boil for a while, and ridiculed Hu Zongnan, which made Hu Zongnan, who had just arrived in Taiwan, feel very embarrassed. Considering that Hu Zongnan had followed Chiang Kai-shek for more than 20 years after all, Chen Cheng, the "premier" of the Executive Yuan, did not dare to take it lightly, so he played a trick ......Later, Hu Zongnan died on February 4, 1962, which was the beginning of spring and the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Hu Zongnan's family gathered together on Chinese New Year's Eve, which was also a rare happy time after he came to Taiwan. Then, his old friends came to visit the house, and Hu Zongnan was very happy and went to visit them.
However, on the third day of the first lunar month, Hu Zongnan suddenly felt physically exhausted and rested in bed. His wife, Ye Xiazhai, was worried about this and immediately called a doctor for treatment.
Doctors found that Hu Zongnan had a heart problem and needed to be hospitalized**. As a result, Hu Zongnan was sent to Veterans General Hospital for acceptance**. Chiang Kai-shek came to visit Hu Zongnan on the seventh day of the first lunar month, which made Hu Zongnan feel grateful and let go of his past contradictions with Chiang Kai-shek.
After a few days, Hu Zongnan's condition improved. The doctor said that Hu Zongnan is recovering and will be discharged from the hospital in a few days. This made Ye Xiazhai feel a little relieved.
Hu Zongnan recovered his spirits, chatted with his wife Ye Xiazhai and had dinner together, and Ye Xiazhai also peeled an apple for Hu Zongnan. However, just after Hu Zongnan fell asleep, he suddenly woke up and passed out, and although he was rushed to the hospital and injected with ** cardiac injections, he still died at 3:50 in the morning.
Ye Xiazhai rushed to the hospital with the children immediately after hearing the news, but Hu Zongnan was already in a dying state and did not leave any words.
Hu Zongnan was a high-ranking Kuomintang general during his lifetime, and wrote to Chiang Kai-shek many times, saying that he had not yet found a suitable place to die, and hoped to die in the mainland in battle.
However, when he was transferred to the mainland, he wrote to Chiang Kai-shek again, saying that he was afraid that he would not be able to find a suitable place to die. In the end, Hu Zongnan failed to get his wish, and his life did not end in the way he had hoped.
In order to commemorate Hu Zongnan, Chiang Kai-shek announced the news of his death and gave him a "meritorious service" and a letter of loyalty. Chiang Kai-shek also personally attended Hu Zongnan's hanging ceremony and comforted his wife and children.
Hu Zongnan was Chiang Kai-shek's direct general, and his death was a great loss for Chiang Kai-shek. Although Hu Zongnan failed to die in battle in the way he had hoped, his contributions will be immortalized.
Hu Zongnan's youth was full of glory. In April 1936, he made history again by being appointed the first commander of the Whampoa students in the Kuomintang army.
Two years later, he was promoted to commander-in-chief of the 34th Group Army, becoming the first general to serve as the commander-in-chief of the group army among the Huangpu graduates, and also the Kuomintang general with the highest military rank in Guanzhong and even the northwest region.
On September 22, 1945, as the "commander of the first theater of operations", he went to Zhengzhou, Henan Province, to accept the surrender of Takashi Takamori, the commander of the 12th Army Corps of the Japanese army.
However, after the peace agreement was torn up, Hu Zongnan was ordered to participate in the civil war. In 1947, he occupied Yan'an, an empty city left to him. ** said: "Our war is not about the gains and losses of one city and one pool, but about the destruction of the enemy's living forces."
We will exchange one Yan'an for the whole of China, at least one year, at most two years, and we will come back. ”
**'s prediction is accurate, as he said, Chiang's army was defeated all the way after moving to northern Shaanxi, first losing the northeast, then north China and the Central Plains, and then east and south China, leaving only the southwest corner.
On December 9, 1949, Chiang Kai-shek fled to Taipei under the cover of Hu Zongnan and left the mainland. Before parting, Chiang Kai-shek instructed Hu Zongnan to stabilize Sichuan and Xichang.
However, this task was obviously not in line with the situation at that time, because Hu Zongnan's manpower and material resources in Sichuan were very limited, there was not enough winter clothing, food and military supplies, and even arms and ammunition** were interrupted.
After three months of hard work, Hu Zongnan could not hold on. On March 27, 1950, he fled on the last Kuomintang plane to Hainan. It is said that the plane was not intended to be sent.
Chiang Kai-shek was very dissatisfied with Hu Zongnan, because Hu Zongnan not only lost the Great Northwest and Great Southwest, but also lost hundreds of thousands of elite troops under his command. The only thing to be commended for being that Hu Zongnan provided Chiang Kai-shek as he fled the mainland.
When Chiang Kai-shek left, Hu Zongnan received an order from him to give him a thousand instructions and even an order to die, asking him to live and die with the southwest. Although this order seemed somewhat unrealistic, and even sent Hu Zongnan to death, he still knew it.
Prior to this, the Chinese Communists sent General Zhang Xin, who was a fellow villager with Hu Zongnan and an alumnus of Whampoa, and had a good personal relationship, in the hope that he would throw himself into the people.
When General Zhang Xin met with Hu Zongnan, he handed him a shoe and told him that there was a letter and document inside, the details of which he did not know. After Hu Zongnan carefully read the letter and documents, General Zhang Xin told him about his experiences after being captured and his views on the current situation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
Although Hu Zongnan has been listening, he has not expressed any attitude.
The next day, Hu Zongnan met with Zhang Xin again. Compared with the first time, Hu Zongnan took the initiative to inquire about the current situation of the CCP leaders, and paid special attention to Zhao Shoushan's situation.
He asked Zhang Xin: "How is Zhao Shoushan doing over there?" Zhang Xin replied: "Zhao Shoushan is very popular with the CCP and is now serving as the deputy commander of the First Field Army. ”
After listening to Zhang Xin's answer, Hu Zongnan suddenly changed the topic and asked with hopeful eyes: "On the CCP side, how do they view people like Wen Tianxiang?" Zhang Xin heard the meaning of Hu Zongnan's words, so he recalled his learning process and replied: "Historically, Wen Tianxiang did not bow to other races, was loyal to the nation, and was a national hero worthy of admiration.
But you and I do things differently ......Therefore, we can't be Wen Tianxiang. After listening to Zhang Xin's answer, Hu Zongnan fell into deep thought. After Zhang Xin left, Hu Zongnan couldn't sleep, and immediately called his cronies, Major General Gao Staff of the First Theater Commander's Headquarters, and Zhu Yaying, Director of the Adjutant Division.
Mao Renfeng, Hu Zongnan and Chiang Ching-kuo got together, and when Zhu Yaying appeared, Hu Zongnan was silent and said bluntly: "* Release the captured brigade commander Zhang Xin, and write to me in person, suggesting that I revolt and surrender, and the communists promise to treat me with courtesy."
But my affection for Principal Chiang is so great that betraying him is unacceptable to me. However, if you continue to resist, it will be difficult to reverse the defeat. Hu Zongnan looked out the window, and Zhu Yaying could feel his confusion and sincere advice.
Therefore, Zhu Yaying analyzed the current military situation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to Hu Zongnan, and pointed out that their insistence on Hanzhong is a taboo for soldiers, which may lead to the destruction of lives. After listening to Zhu Yaying's analysis, Hu Zongnan began to waver, he stayed awake all night, looking at the stars in front of the window.
On the evening of the third day, Hu Zongnan and Zhang Xin continued to talk, and Hu Zongnan took the initiative to inquire about the CCP's policy and the placement of the rebels. Hu Zongnan was moved by the national righteousness, and began to move the idea of abandoning the dark and turning to the light.
However, on October 15, Hu Zongnan suddenly received a secret telegram from Chiang Kai-shek, asking him to go to Taiwan immediately to discuss important matters.
After Hu Zongnan and Chiang Kai-shek were together for just two days, Hu Zongnan hurriedly returned to Hanzhong. As soon as he arrived at the airport, Hu Zongnan ordered Zhang Xin to be detained and a high-level meeting to be held.
At the meeting, Hu Zongnan expressed his determination: "I will be loyal to the principal and swear to live and die with the southwest!" Soon after, Zhu Yaying quietly came to Chengdu on the pretext of inspecting the troops.
Later, Zhu Yaying participated in Pei Changhui's uprising in Deyang. Zhang Xin also escaped in Jintang, Sichuan Province on December 23. Hu Zongnan's plan for an uprising was thus stillborn.
On the same day that Hu Zongnan arrived in Hainan, the "Taiwan authorities" announced the abolition of the "Southwest Military and Political Chief's Office" and the appointment of Hu Zongnan as "strategic adviser to the government." In fact, Hu Zongnan's position no longer has any real power.
On April 4, 1950, Hu Zongnan flew to Tainan and flew to Taipei the next day. At this time, Hu Zongnan was no longer the powerful general in the past, and neither Chiang Kai-shek nor Chen Cheng received him, which made Hu Zongnan feel very lost.
After completing the necessary official duties, Hu Zongnan and his family moved to the house that Tang Enbo rented for him in Hualien County. During this time, Hu Zongnan lived in fear and restlessness all day long.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Hu Zongnan to encounter ** annoyance. **The time of the event has just entered May, which is the season when the grass grows and the warbler flies and the mountain flowers are blooming. However, Hu Zongnan's mood was not as good as the weather.
On May 11, Hu Zongnan got a message: "There are many 'Supervisory Commissioners' who jointly submitted a petition to the 'Supervision Yuan' against him!"
Li Mengbiao proposed that Hu Zongnan should be calm.
Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Cheng and others discussed issues together. For such a difficult issue, Chen Cheng felt a little embarrassed and did not dare to decide on his own, so he came up with a plan: he took the ** text to see Chiang Kai-shek.
After seeing Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Cheng handed him the ** text and said softly: "President, you see, this matter is ......."Chiang Kai-shek took the ** text, was silent for a while, and did not express any opinion.
Seeing this situation, Chen Cheng understood Chiang Kai-shek's position and had his own ideas. After returning to the hospital, Chen Cheng gave instructions on Hu Zongnan's ** article and handed over the case to the "Ministry of National Defense" for handling.
The Ministry of Defense "is not a fool either, they took a procrastination attitude after receiving this thorny question." At this time, some of Hu Zongnan's friends found that things had gradually become clear, and began to organize people to sing praises for Hu Zongnan.
Jiang Yiping, a lawyer with a great reputation in Taiwanese society, once defended the Japanese war criminal Okamura Ninji. However, in early June, he joined 108 legislators to submit a petition to the "Executive Yuan" and the "Ministry of National Defense," demanding that Hu Zongnan be exempted from punishment.
This love letter expresses Hu Zongnan's heroic behavior of fighting in several provinces alone, although he is in danger, he still insists on participating in guerrilla warfare in order to rescue the president and protect the president.
Soon after, Hu Zongnan's ** case came to a conclusion, and he was dismissed, but he still failed to get a real job and has been living at home. However, Chiang Kai-shek later took advantage of the Korean War to begin to plan a war plan to harass the mainland.
Hu Zongnan offered to take on this task, and at the recommendation of Chen Cheng, he was sent to Dachen Island to take care of the affairs of the Zhejiang front. Chiang Kai-shek believed that Hu Zongnan had followed him for many years and was loyal, and that he could not be blamed entirely even in the loss of Xichang.
Moreover, he proposed to fight guerrillas, regardless of his rank, and this spirit deserves to be commended. Hu Zongnan led the old troops to Dachen Island to organize several advancing troops to continue his heroic deeds.
Hu Zongnan, a figure who left a deep mark on history, under the guidance of Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Cheng, assumed the pseudonym "Qin Dongchang", secretly went to Dachen Island, trained a "advance team" of more than 7,000 people, and carried out many attacks on the mainland.
However, on January 18, 1955, the People's Liberation Army, under the command of Chairman ***, launched a joint landing operation on the island, successfully eliminated the Kuomintang troops on the island, and liberated the whole island.
After that, Hu Zongnan was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Penghu's defense, but four years later, he returned to Taipei and served as the "** government strategic adviser", and concurrently served as the "president of the National Defense Research Institute Alumni Association" and "member of the National Defense Research Institute Committee".
After that, he lived a peaceful life until his death. According to the prime minister mentioned in a conversation, Hu Zongnan has been a teacher in his life, but it is said that before entering Huangpu, he worked as a primary school teacher and had a sense of justice, but after entering Huangpu, he and Chiang Kai-shek caught up with his "fellow countrymen" and followed him on the road of **.
If Hu Zongnan and his wife Ye Xiazhai revolt on the mainland, they may have a different life, and there is no need to face the motherland with their tombstones facing the motherland after their death to comfort their lonely souls. However, history is unforgiving.
When there is temperature, if you don't make the right choice, all that's left is the cold, that's all.
