Chapter 213 212. Establishment of Whampoa Military Academy

Because the northern warlords harmed the country, while the southern warlords ruled independently, the Republic of China has only the title of the Republic of China for more than ten years, but there is no fact of the Republic of China.Sun Yat-sen felt bitterly that the failure of the revolution lay in the failure to establish revolutionary force, so he was determined to establish a complete education for revolutionary soldiers. On January 24, 2013, Sun Yi appointed Jiang Zhongzheng as the chairman of the preparatory committee for the Whampoa Army Military Academy. At the same time, he appointed Wang Boling, Shen Yingshi, Lin Zhenxiong, Yu Feipeng, Song Rongchang, and Zhang Jiarui as the preparatory committee members, and selected Huangpu, which is 40 miles away from Guangzhou. The island is the school site.

Huangpu Island is surrounded by water on all sides, and the land is an important place. It is about 20 miles around, with lush forests and rolling hills. It is connected to Humen in the south. The renovation started in mid-February, giving it a brand new look. The first admissions examination was held on March 1, with more than 1,200 candidates. The list was released on April 28, and 350 positive candidates and more than 100 reserve candidates were admitted. On May 3, 2013, Sun Yat-sen, in the name of Grand Marshal, specially ordered Jiang Zhongzheng to be the principal of Huangpu Military Academy. On May 5, the first class of Huangpu students officially enrolled. Classes start on the 9th.

The opening ceremony was held at 8 a.m. on June 16. Mrs. Sun Kai presided over it in person and gave a sincere lecture: "Guest teachers and students, Zhu Jun, today is the date for the opening of our school. Why do we have this school? Why do we have to open this school? You should know that the Chinese revolution has been going on for thirteen years, and the results obtained now are only those of the Republic of China. There is no fact of the Republic of China in the name of the era. From this point of view, the 13th year of the Chinese Revolution has only been given an empty name until today, so the 13th year of the Chinese Revolution was a complete failure, and it is still a failure even today. …

The bad soldiers in China today can be divided into two factions. One is the soldiers inside the revolutionary party. This faction is for the revolution in words, but their actions are against the revolution. The so-called duplicity; the other is the soldiers outside the revolutionary party. , I only know how to get promoted and get rich, and I always want to overthrow the republic and restore autocracy.If you want to maintain the republic in the future and eliminate such soldiers, now you must make up your mind that after you succeed in the future, you will not be selfish division commanders, brigade commanders, and ordinary violent and lawless warlords.Only when you have this kind of ambition can you enter the second path of revolution.What is the second level of the revolutionary path?It is to learn the behavior of the revolutionary martyrs. There is no other advantage, that is, to fight for the country with one heart and one mind.What was the struggle like in the past?Most of them rely on their bare hands. With pistols and bombs, they think they are good weapons. Every uprising always uses a small number of these weapons to fight against the Qing soldiers. ...

Whether the army can be revolutionized depends on whether the soldiers have revolutionary ambitions, not on whether the weapons are sophisticated or not.If there is no revolutionary ambition and no study of revolutionary principles, like the new army trained in the late Qing Dynasty, the army has very sophisticated spears and cannons, and the navy has very strong warships and torpedo boats, and it will never be possible to carry forward the revolutionary cause.After the Wuchang Uprising, they were all used by the Revolutionary Party.All in all, a revolution is an extraordinary cause, and an extraordinary cause cannot always be theorized.In the past, army and navy students studying in Japan, Europe and the United States, we always tried to campaign for them to join the revolutionary party, but many students always refused to join and always opposed the revolutionary party.What is the mentality of those educated soldiers who oppose the revolution?Careful examination shows that they all have a prejudice, thinking that they are military experts.Our revolutionary party advocates using one person to fight a hundred people, and a hundred people to fight ten thousand people. From the perspective of those who have received military education, they think that this is a reason that has no place in ancient and modern Chinese and foreign tactics. How can it be successful?We don’t need to argue deeply about this truth. We just need to look at who caused the revolution in China and the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.When it succeeds, it is true that there are many military strategists to sponsor it, but when it comes to its source, the driving force is still initiated by a very small number of revolutionary parties.At that time, the general knowledgeable soldiers thought that defeating the vast majority with a very small number was a final decision that could never succeed in tactics.Because they don't agree with this principle, they don't approve of the revolution, and because the soldiers don't approve of the revolution, so there were still very few people in the former revolutionary party who really had military knowledge. ...

You come to this school to study, and you have heard my speech today, so you will naturally aspire to be a revolutionary soldier.If you want to be a revolutionary army, what should you do first?Advanced knowledge is the foundation. Only with advanced knowledge can you have courage, and only with boldness can you be a revolutionary army. Therefore, the foundation of being a revolutionary army is still profound knowledge.What method should be used to cultivate advanced knowledge?The way to cultivate advanced knowledge is not only to learn the knowledge taught by the teacher in the lecture hall every day, but also to promote it by yourself.Outside of lecture halls, more attention must be paid to self-study, and all kinds of books on military science and revolutionary principles, as well as all magazines and newspapers must be consulted for research.After the research has gained experience, once it is integrated, it will naturally carry forward the spirit of revolution, continue the volunteers of the martyrs, sacrifice their lives, form the foundation of the Republic of China, fully realize the Three Principles of the People, and complete the revolution.Like Russia, we, China, can keep pace with other countries in the world.Only the Chinese nation can survive in mankind forever.If the revolution fails, China will perish, and 400 million people will perish.The subjugation of the country and the extermination of the species are the interests of the princes themselves, and this must be saved.To save this peril, only the revolutionary army.Therefore, we must open this school and train the revolutionary army. The revolutionary army is a soldier who saves the country and the people.In the future, you will be the backbone of the revolutionary army, and you will all shoulder the responsibility of saving the country and the people, so you must redouble your efforts in learning from today.After graduating in the future, to organize a revolutionary army, the obstacle to the republic is to fight them desperately, to be able to use one person to beat a hundred people.This kind of ability to use one person to beat a hundred people is based on what?Who should be used as the standard for the qualifications of being a revolutionary army?Simply put, it is to use the martyrs as the standard.You must learn from the behavior of the martyrs, sacrifice your life and sacrifice all your rights like them, and concentrate on saving the country.This is the only way to become a revolutionary soldier who is not afraid of death.The qualification of a revolutionary party is to not be afraid of death.What method should I use to not be afraid of death?After all, this method still needs to learn from the martyrs.I am speaking to you here today, and I am a late-morning revolutionary party.In the past, I often participated in every revolution, and I was never greedy for life or afraid of death.But every time I bleed, it didn't flow on my body, so today I can still talk to you, and pass on the truth of not being afraid of death to you.I dare say that there is no other secret to the spirit of a revolutionary party, but the secret is not to be afraid of death.To be able to have this kind of great courage is to regard death as home in your mind. You can die at any time in your life. After you die, you can be righteous.Knowing this truth, we can say that death is welcome.We welcome the quick death of the enemy's guns and bullets.With this kind of courage and determination, we can beat a hundred people with one person.Because the enemy's ideas must be alive to think that we are enjoying happiness; our ideas must be dead to think that we are enjoying happiness.You get what you deserve when you die.The concept of life and death, the spirit of the enemy and ourselves is too different, naturally we cannot confront the enemy, and naturally we have victory but not defeat.

This kind of reason that death is happiness and requires a quick death is not an empty ideal, but a fact.For example, there used to be a Chinese student in Japan named Chen Tianhua. He carried forward the spirit of revolution.There was another foreign student in the UK named Yang Dusheng because he understood the truth of revolution, there was no opportunity for revolution, and he could not do revolutionary work. He saw that China was too corrupt, and he wanted to enjoy happiness by dying quickly. report to China.Who are Chen Tianhua and Yang Dusheng?They are the revolutionary party, the real revolutionary party with passion and blood.They all failed because they wanted to die, so it was a pity that they were forced to throw themselves into the sea.However, the reason why Chen Tianhua and Yang Dusheng threw themselves into the sea can prove that as long as ordinary people feel the spirit of revolution and understand the truth of revolution, they can see death as returning home.It is a very noble, rare, and joyous thing to die for the revolution.If, on the battlefield, one encounters an enemy of one's own doctrine and dies from the enemy's guns and bullets, of course one would consider one's death to be a worthy death.In the past, true revolutionary parties, because they all had the nature of happy death, dared to use one person to beat a hundred people, so they dared to repeatedly launch a revolution, so the revolution was successful.This kind of precedent is not found in ancient and modern Chinese and foreign military books, and only in the history of revolution can there be such a precedent.This kind of practice is an extraordinary example. If we want to learn from this extraordinary practice, we must have extraordinary ambition. With extraordinary ambition, we will be able to see through the critical moment of life and death, and regard death as happiness.If everyone can find happiness in death, one hundred people can beat ten thousand people, and ten thousand people can beat one million people.If we have a revolutionary army of 10,000 people, we will be able to pacify China in no time.Because the national army opposing the revolution at this moment has a total of only one million people.Because we don't have a revolutionary army of 10,000 people at the moment, so those greedy and ruthless warlords dare to run amok across the country and do all kinds of evil, harming the country in everything, and overthrowing the Republic every day.Because I want to maintain the republic and eliminate such greedy and senseless warlords, I want you to not be afraid of death and follow in the footsteps of the revolutionary martyrs; moreover, I want to use these five hundred people as the foundation to form my ideal revolutionary army, our revolutionary army. It will be a great success, China will be saved, and 400 million people will not perish.So the revolutionary cause is to save the country and seek the people.My whole life of revolution is to bear this responsibility.Since you have come to this school to study, I ask you to share this responsibility from today.

Jiang Zhongzheng Jieshi, a native of Fenghua, Zhejiang, was born in 25 BC in the Republic of China. He studied at Fenglu Academy when he was a teenager, and was admitted to Baoding Military Academy at the age of 18. He was selected by the government to study in Japan in the second year. During his stay in Japan, he was devoted to revolution and joined the Tongmenghui. He formed a doctor Chengcheng regiment with army students from the Tongmenghui to study revolutionary theory and military academics, and published the magazine "Martial Arts".When the Revolution of 1911 broke out, he returned to China and commanded his comrades in Hangzhou to attack Fufu and recover Zhejiang Province. At the same time, he assisted Chen Yingshi in conquering Jiangsu.During the Hongxian Monarchy, Chiang Kai-shek organized a discussion with Chen Yingshi in Shanghai on the General Headquarters of the Yuan Army.In the 6th year of the Republic of China, Sun Yat-sen served as the Generalissimo of the military government in Guangdong. Jiang Zhongzheng was appointed as the Generalissimo's Mansion to join the army, and then transferred to Xu Chongzhi's Chief of Staff of the Second Army.When Chen Jiongming rebelled, Chiang Kai-shek was in Shanghai. When he heard about the change, he went to the disaster and took the risk of boarding a warship to accompany Sun Yat-sen.The Whampoa Military Academy was established, and Sun Sui gave Jiang Zhongzheng a heavy responsibility.

After the establishment of the Whampoa Military Academy, the first event that shocked the world was the seizure of the private weapons of the Guangdong business group and the suppression of the rebellion of the business group. It turned out that Chen Lianbo, the head of the Guangdong business group, was a comprador of the British HSBC Bank. He used the background of the British and the foundation of the business group to secretly organize the Chinese Fascist Party. The Harvard ship under the Merchant Navy carries ordnance. On August 4, 2013, he deceived the government to obtain a passport, and transported more than 9,000 firearms into the river in the province.Sun Yat-sen received a secret report and ordered the military government to revoke his passport; at the same time, he sent two ships, Yongfeng and Jianggu, to seize the weapon transport ship.

On August 10, Sun Yat-sen ordered Jiang Zhongzheng: "Let the commander of the Changzhou Fortress, the Yujianggu warship, go to the vicinity of Shajiao quickly, and bring the ship that has been detained for carrying military weapons to the province for punishment. This order." That night Chiang Zhongzheng Zhang Jingyu, the English secretary of the warrant, together with Deng Yanhua, the adjutant of the base camp, went to Shajiao on the Jianggu ship, negotiated with the No ship that transported the weapons, and took him to Huangpu for surveillance. Sun Yat-sen then ordered all the guns on the ship to be detained at the Whampoa Military Academy. , It was found that the number of ordnance did not match that contained in the passport.The business group became angry with embarrassment, so they threatened to strike the market.At the same time, the British Consul General blatantly intervened, and on August 29 issued a condolence letter from Medton, with absurd wording.Sun Yat-sen issued a solemn declaration to the outside world on September 1, and protested to the British Prime Minister Macdonald's government.

The merchant group colluded with Fan Shisheng and Liao Xingchao of the Dian army stationed in Guangdong, and the Dian army acted as a third party to mediate and cause trouble.Sun Yat-sen suffered from elbow and armpits, so he had to make a compromise and reluctantly accepted the mediation. At the beginning of October, Li Fulin, the supervisor of the militia, was ordered to communicate with the business group to Xiaoyu, and ordered the business group to send a telegram to express their intention of self-defense before returning the guns, and the business group promised to do so. On October 9th, Jiang Zhongzheng was ordered to return the guns, handed over 5,000 long and short guns to Li Fulin, and handed them over to the business group, and reported the process to Sun Yat-sen stationed in Shaozhou by telegram. On October 10, the business group unloaded and unloaded their guns in Xihao. It happened that students, peasants, and industrial groups were passing through the National Day parade. More than one person, and they gouged out the abdomen and heart of the wounded, which was extremely cruel.The next day, the Federation of Business Groups distributed leaflets to insult the government, and the headquarters of the business group sent troops to patrol the streets and ordered the shops to strike, declaring that Chen Jiongming was about to return to Guangzhou and cut off the traffic in Guangshao.Jiang Zhongzheng sent a letter to ask Sun Yat-sen to return to Guangzhou from Shaoguan to quell the chaos. On October 14, Sun Yat-sen ordered to quell the chaos, saying: "In order to deal with the temporary incident in Guangzhou, all Whampoa Army Military Academy aircraft fleet, armored convoy, industrial regiment army, peasant volunteer army, army martial arts school, Yunnan army cadre school, and arsenal self-defense force will be under the command of Chiang Kai-shek during the unscheduled period. Take Liao Zhongkai as the supervisor. This order: Jiang Zhongzheng, the principal of the Army Military Academy, Chen Youren, the director of the Aviation Bureau, Lu Zhenliu, the captain of the A convoy, Shi Bu, the head of the Industrial Corps, Luo Qiyuan, the director of the Peasant Self-Defense Army, Zhou Guanhong, the supervisor of the Jiangwu School, and the Yunnan Army Cadre School The principal Zhou Zide, the director of the arsenal Ma Chaojun, and the commander of the guard Huang Tiecheng." On the 15th, Jiang Zhongzheng led all the troops to attack the merchant group. After two days and one night, Li Songshao, the deputy head of the merchant group, came forward and offered to surrender his arms to make atonement. In August and December 2013, the second and third phases of Whampoa students entered the school one after another, with a total of 2,289 students. From this, cadres led by the Revolutionary Army were established, and the history of the Republic of China entered a new era.
