Huang Wei hates the three of them, but respects **, what is the explanation?
Headline Creation Challenge Although the brutal war has passed, Huang Wei's story is still worth pondering. Although his performance in the Gongdelin War Criminals Management Center and the Fushun War Criminals Management Center was not satisfactory, he always adhered to his beliefs and refused to go overseas or take refuge with his old master, but stayed firmly on the mainland.
His choice was right, because he always firmly believed that "those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, and those who lose the hearts of the people will lose the world". Although he resisted during the transformation, his true thoughts did not change.
He once wrote, "How good the Chinese people are, the Kuomintang ultimately failed, it was its own corruption and incompetence, and it lost the common people." This thoughtful sentence also shows us his wisdom and courage.
Huang Wei's life has improved after the amnesty, but he has always been haunted by the three people. Of the three, one had slapped him in the face and later became his new colleague; Another had shaved off his beard, which was a foot and a half long; The third person is Liao Yunzhou, and he and Huang Wei were the last to be amnestied.
Huang Wei's grudge against these three people, even a new colleague like ** made a good sense of ridicule in his memoirs. Why is Huang Wei so obsessed with these three people?
This starts with his own experience and that of the 12th Corps. Although Huang Wei was born in the first phase of Whampoa, his military talent has never been favored by his comrades. Wang Yuanzhi, commander of the 11th Division of the 18th Army of the 12th Corps, summed up the cause of the defeat of Huang Wei's corps in eight words: "The commander hesitated, and the opportunity was missed. ”
It is rumored that on December 19, 1948, Lao Chiang sent a letter to Du Yuming, pointing out that Huang Wei's mistake led to the failure of the 12th Corps' breakthrough. Other generals of the Jiang army also criticized Huang Wei for being "fierce and inward-looking, ambitious and talented, stern and unkind, and violent and unrestrained", and expressed understanding of the grievances between Huang Wei and Hu Lian.
The 12th Corps led by Huang Wei included the 10th Army, the 14th Army, the 18th Army, the 85th Army and the Fourth Fast Column, with a total strength of about 120,000 people, of which the 10th Army and the 18th Army commanded by Hu Lian were the backbone.
Huang Wei was originally set to be the commander of the corps, but due to the contradiction with Bai Chongxi, the "general commander" of Central China, Lao Jiang was reappointed Hu Lian as the deputy commander, and Huang Wei was relegated to a position.
Although Huang Wei and Hu Lian are both "civil engineering" cadres, their command styles are completely different. Hu Lian is good at strategy, while Huang Wei has a straightforward personality and lacks experience in entrapping subordinates and commanding battles.
He knew that he would not be able to convince the public, so he clearly told his subordinates that he was only a temporary transitional corps commander, and that Hu Lian would take over in six months. However, Huang Wei did not wait for six months before he was besieged and annihilated by the People's Liberation Army in the Battle of Huaihai.
According to the recollections of our generals, Huang Wei's performance in battle was very different from Hu Lian's cunning and changeability. He is dull in battle, accustomed to acting according to the rules, and the rules of action are easy for opponents to grasp.
At the same time, he is also a general of the brave fighting faction, and his combat performance is sometimes good and bad. After the defeat, he made excuses for his defeat, believing that his responsibility was greater than that of Commander-in-Chief Chiang, and that his opponent, Chen Geng, was stronger than him.
Huang Wei still insisted on his own views in the War Criminals Management Center, and a staff member of the War Criminals Management Center named Lei Hao described Huang Wei's situation in detail in his book "Documentary of Participating in the Discipline of Kuomintang War Criminals Before and After Entering Beijing".
Gongdelin war criminals are not a collective that can be achieved overnight, and Huang Wei is the "old man" among them. As early as 1949, Kang Ze and Dong Yisan arrived, and then Luo Lirong, Yang Guangyu and others also joined one after another.
In November 1950, Du Yuming, Huang Wei, Wu Shaozhou and others arrived, and two years later, Fan Hanjie, Liao Yaoxiang and others also joined this group. However, Huang Wei, who was at Gong Tak Lin No. 1, did not do well, and he was very resistant, antagonizing the correctional officers, insisting that he had no regrets.
During his studies, he either remained silent or made provocative remarks, sneering at other repentant war criminals. His stubbornness displeased other war criminals, and Shen Zui, although biased towards him in his memoirs, was not an eyewitness to the brawl.
Lei Hao's account is more objective, as he describes a brawl in Gongdelin in 1952 in his memoirs that began when Huang Wei made offensive remarks during his studies and refused to write for censorship.
The war criminals were very angry about this, and Huang Wei spoke out again, so the two sides started a fight, which was finally stopped by the administrator.
Huang Wei and Dong Yi.
3. Song Xilian worked together in the Office of the Commissioner of Culture and History, but at the beginning because Song Xilian shaved off Huang Wei's beard, the relationship between the two seemed a little tense.
Although Huang Wei was in poor health when he first arrived in Gongdelin, he insisted on keeping his beard, believing that it had grown from eating Lao Jiang's rice and could not be easily shaved off.
This stubborn behavior made Song Xilian, a first-term student in Huangpu, feel unhappy, because after he was defeated and captured, Huang Wei was captured, and he himself committed suicide with a gun.
In "Amnesty 1959", Song Xilian of the first phase of Whampoa launched an activity called "Fighting Beards", and most of the generals of the Whampoa department had to obey his orders.
Even though Huang Wei was very reluctant to give up his long beard, under Song Xilian's resolute request, he had no choice but to cut off his love and shave off the black and thick long beard that was one foot and five inches long.
Although Huang Wei hates Liao Yunzhou, Dong Yisan and Song Xilian, and his relationship with Du Yuming is not good, his relationship with ** is very close. He even told ** about his name change, and smiled calmly when he heard it: "I know about this, and I have also taken pictures with Lao Jiang." ”
On the Huaihai battlefield, ** was the lieutenant general, deputy chief of staff and acting chief of staff of the "Xuzhou Suppression Headquarters" front-line command, and Huang Wei was his subordinate. In the Office of the Commissioner of Culture and History, ** is the leader of the study group, and Huang Wei is a member of the group, and the relationship between the two is very good.
Huang Wei respected ** very much, and even helped him recruit a daughter-in-law, and ** married a woman he didn't like because of Huang Wei's recommendation.
* Reflection in my later years: "I have been married three times in my life, but this time it was ruined by my own negligence. This was the biggest bad decision I made since my amnesty. The reason why Huang Wei got married was to be notified and advocated in accordance with the instructions of ***.
After getting married, Huang Wei went to **'s house, and when he saw ** boiling water for him personally, he ridiculed**: You help us arrange marriage, why don't you get married yourself? You're in good shape, right? ”
* Not to be outdone, despite the opposition of the secretary Xiao Zhao (who had helped ** investigate the background of the subject), he decided to get married. However, the marriage lasted for twenty years, during which family life was not harmonious, and finally ** gave the woman 50,000 yuan for divorce - her original request was 30,000 yuan, ** generously gave an additional 20,000 yuan.
Although ** has a close relationship with Huang Wei, he has always believed that Huang Wei is not tolerant enough in dealing with Liao Yunzhou. In his opinion, Liao Yunzhou is an underground party, and it is natural to use force against you, and if you are replaced, you will do the same.
* Enlighten Huang Wei and let him not keep his grievances in his heart, just smile. Although Huang Wei refused to laugh at him, ** did not hate him because of this, but showed a high demeanor.
* He once learned the power of the underground party in the Battle of Huaihai, but he did not hold grudges. When receiving the airdrop materials, he found that most of the things were thrown to the PLA, but instead of being angry because of this, he suspected that there was something wrong with the airdrop commander and told Du Yuming about this suspicion.
After being captured, the airdrop commander came to see them in PLA clothes, and he was not annoyed by this, but said very calmly: "Oh, I see." ”
* The problem of defeat and friend and foe can be seen openly, which is incomparable to Huang Wei. However, in the Gongdelin War Criminals Management Center, ** is the most "hard" existence, and Liu Anguo's historical prototype is him.
Although Huang Wei is stubborn about **, he respects his tough attitude. Although Huang Wei has a grudge against Du Yuming and others, he is very polite and even very close and respectful to **, who is older than him in terms of official position and measurement but three years younger than him.
The reasons behind this should be clear to readers who know that period of history. So, let's take a look at three questions. First of all, why does Huang Wei hold a grudge against Liao Yunzhou, but ** can laugh at it?
Secondly, compared with **, does Huang Wei not seem big enough? In the end, who is worse than Huang Wei's military ability compared to Hu Lian?
