In the ** period, the beacon was full of flames and heroes. Among them, "Wolong and Phoenix Chicks" is regarded as a compliment, symbolizing outstanding intelligence and leadership. However, Yang Yongtai, who was praised as the "Wolong" at that time, although he had excellent wisdom and had led the military field, no one dared to use it.
His presence enabled Chiang Kai-shek to show his strength politically and militarily, and even forced the Red Army, which had won successive battles, to embark on the road of the Long March. He is the indispensable chief strategist around Chiang Kai-shek, the "Zhuge Liang" of the ** period - Yang Yongtai.
In 1922, Cao Kun's election bribery scandal was **, the people's confidence in Beiyang ** was lost, the National Assembly could not play its due function, and the Political Science Society also fell silent.
Yang Yongtai was serving in the Political Science Society at the time, and with the disappearance of the Political Science Society, he was forced to leave Beijing and return to Shanghai, where he began a life of seclusion. His talent was not recognized as it should be, making him often feel lonely and lost, and he was always looking for a "master" who could display his talents.
In this troubled time, he felt great regret because he could not realize his ambitions.
In 1926, the Northern Expedition, which caused a national sensation, kicked off, and the whole of China was swept up in the torrent of war. Yang Yongtai, who smelled that the situation was becoming more and more turbulent, decided to end his short life of dormancy and set foot in ** again.
Which camp to throw himself into became the first choice he faced. He thinks highly of himself and considers himself a "golden brick" to be regarded as a treasure by various forces. However, the situation in China is now complicated, and the various factions of the Beiyang** and the Kuomintang are fighting endlessly, and Yang Yongtai needs to think carefully and find the "Ming Master" who can brighten his future.
Yang Yongtai sent a letter of more than 10,000 words to Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, detailing his views on the current situation and political views. The letter was full of enthusiasm and expressed his strong desire to enter **.
However, although Li and Bai recognized Yang Yongtai's talent, they had no intention of appointing him. There are differences between the three, and although Yang Yongtai is talented, he lacks righteousness.
Although Yang Yongtai was highly appreciated by Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi's Gui family, he was unable to obtain a position, which starts from his early experience. He once served for Beiyang ** as a temporary member of parliament, but after Yuan Shikai abolished the Congress, he was deeply dissatisfied, believing that Yuan Shikai's *** was not in line with China's development path.
On his way south, he came into contact with Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary ideas and gained a deeper understanding of the democratic republic.
In exchanges with many members of the Kuomintang, Yang Yongtai was convinced that the revolutionary ideas put forward by Sun Yat-sen were more suitable for the realities of China. Therefore, when he learned of Sun Yat-sen's plan to establish the Chinese Revolutionary Party in Japan, he did not hesitate to join it, became an important general under Sun Yat-sen, and devoted himself to the revolutionary cause.
Born into a wealthy family, Yang Yongtai received an orthodox education in the Qing Dynasty at an early age and was admitted to Xiucai. Subsequently, he entered the Guangzhou Higher Education School, where he was exposed to Western education and studied political science and law.
He also worked as a reporter and editor for newspapers. Yang Yongtai has a strong feudal remnant in his heart, but at the same time he also yearns for reform and progressive Western ideas.
After the revolution with Sun Yat-sen and achieved results, Sun Yat-sen decided to launch the "** Movement" in 1917, but the ideological differences between Yang Yongtai and Sun Yat-sen became more and more obvious.
Sun Yat-sen relied on Yang Yongtai very much, and even considered appointing him as the director of the Ministry of Finance. Although Yang Yongtai was grateful for Sun Yat-sen's trust, he had doubts about the strength of the ** army under Sun Yat-sen's leadership.
Yang Yongtai, a friend of the Political Science Society, once considered leaving Sun Yat-sen, joining the Political Science Society and joining the Southwest faction in search of a better future. But after careful consideration, he found that Sun Yat-sen's strength could not be compared with that of the southwestern warlords.
Although Sun Yat-sen repeatedly urged him to take office, he was still hesitant and unwilling to accept it easily. This "opportunistic attitude" aroused revulsion among the Kuomintang people around Sun Yat-sen.
At the critical moment of the ** war, Lu Rongting and Tang Jiyao, who were supported by the Political Science Society, suddenly rejected Sun Yat-sen's call and agreed to reconcile with Beiyang**, which made the southwest faction unite and reorganize the army**, jointly squeezing out Sun Yat-sen and trying to weaken his power.
Yang Yongtai is a stalwant member of the Political Science Society, and his talent is highly recognized. However, because he had changed hands three times, his reputation had been damaged to a certain extent, making some people suspicious of him.
For this reason, although Li and Bai recognized his talent, they were reluctant to appoint him, fearing that he would have two hearts at a critical time. Despite this, Yang Yongtai did not lose confidence because of this, and he obtained a half-official position in Nanjing ** through his connections, and continued to work hard for his career.
