⊙ When Chiang Kai-shek employs people, he always needs a somewhat glorious revolutionary history, like the former Beiyang old bureaucrats, who dare not use them indiscriminately; those who have long-standing grievances with Chiang in the party, such as the Leftists, the Communists, the Xishan faction, and the Wanghu faction, Jiang respects and keeps at a distance. wary.Chiang's direct lineage is mainly divided into three branches: the party affairs system relies on the CC Department, the military power relies on the Whampoa Department, and the government personnel rely on the Political Science Department.

⊙Song Xilian, a Huangpu student of Chiang Kai-shek, concluded: "The first standard of Chiang Kai-shek's employment is relatives, the second is fellow villagers, and the third is students. And he really gave military power to relatives and fellow villagers." ⊙After Chen Qimei became the governor of the Shanghai Army, Chiang Kai-shek returned from Japan and served as the commander of the fifth regiment of the Shanghai Army. At this time, Huang Yu was the commander of the second division.The three sworn brothers, Chen was the eldest brother, Huang was the second brother, and Jiang was the youngest.

⊙Chen Qimei is Chiang Kai-shek's over-the-iron brother. During the revolution in the early Republic of China, wherever there was Chen, there was Chiang. In February 1915, Chen Qimei returned to Shanghai from Japan to plan the anti-Yuan uprising. When seeing him off, Jiang said to Chen: "In case of misfortune and being killed by the Yuan family, I should be the second incarnation of my brother to fulfill my unfinished ambitions." !" A year later, Chen Qimei was assassinated in Shanghai, and Chiang used Chen's "second incarnation" to encourage himself. ⊙Chiang Kai-shek had "three ignorances" in his life: first, he did not know how many official positions he had; second, he did not know how many warrants he had written; third, he did not know how many sworn brothers he had.

⊙During the period of the Republic of China, there was a doggerel commenting on the Kuomintang regime like this: A son swears an oath to his father, and a brother swears allegiance to his brother.Weng and son-in-law became partners, and father and son were in charge of the army together.The in-laws are the assistants, and the uncle gives orders to the nephew.The classmates are cabinet officials, and the brothers-in-law share the same administration.The fellow countrymen follow the left and right, and the monarch and ministers are teachers and students. ⊙Li Gengen is a graduate of the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy and an early member of the Tongmenghui. After returning to China, he served as a supervisor and general manager of the Yunnan Lecture Hall for many years. Most of the later Yunnan Army generals were Li's students.After the Revolution of 1911, Cai E became the governor of Yunnan, and Li served as the deputy governor.Li Gengen has pockmarks on his face, and he calls himself a "bead of wisdom", and every pockmark is the crystallization of wisdom. ⊙The Department of Political Science can be said to have Zaifu inside and Fengjiang outside.There are no small officials in the political science department, but a group of "capable ministers" who become high-ranking officials and enjoy generous salaries.The Department of Political Science was formed in the Beiyang period, with Gu Zhongxiu and Zhang Shaozeng as the leaders, Li Gengen and Yang Yongtai as the backbone in the later period, Huang Yu and Zhang Qun as the leaders, and Ta Kung Pao as the mouthpiece. Politicians and soldiers such as Liu Zhenhua, Huang Shaohong, Xiong Shihui, Wu Dingchang, Zhang Gongquan, Chen Yi, Shen Honglie and so on. ⊙In 1928, after the national government nominally unified the country, Yang Yongtai presented a clever plan to Chiang Kai-shek. There were only twelve short words, but it established the Jiang family: "Military into parts, finance into parts. "The specific methods are: disintegrate the Feng Yuxiang Group with economic methods; solve the Yan Xishan Group with political methods; solve the Guangxi Group with military methods; deal with the Fengzhang Group with diplomatic methods.Tang Degang called it "Longzhong Dui". ⊙According to Wang Boling's recollection, when the Whampoa Military Academy was first established, two-tenths of the lower-level cadres came from Baoding Military Academy, and six-tenths were recommended by Wang from the Yunnan Lecture Hall.Wang was a classmate of Chiang Kai-shek in Baoding Military Academy, and later stayed in Japan to study military affairs together. After the establishment of Huangpu Military Academy, he served as the director of the professor department of the military academy. ⊙Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Qun met when they were in Baoding Military Academy. At the beginning of 1907, both of them were selected to study military affairs in Japan. During their stay in Japan, Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Qun became best friends. Speculation." Zhang Qun originally wanted to learn infantry, but after listening to Jiang's words, he changed to artillery halfway. ⊙In March 1932, under the planning of He Zhonghan, Teng Jie, Kang Ze, etc., the famous spy organization Blue Shirts Club was established, with Chiang Kai-shek as its president.There are nine officers in the Central Committee, who are the highest leadership organization. Kang Ze is the officer and the director of the Propaganda Department; Dai Li is one of the three alternate officers, and will soon be the director of the Secret Service. ⊙Chiang Kai-shek belongs to the younger generation with low qualifications. Many people are dissatisfied with Jiang being the principal.Chen Hanyu, the chief of staff of Xu Chongzhi, the commander-in-chief of the Guangdong Army, publicly declared: "(Xu) the commander-in-chief didn't listen to me, he always trusted Jieshi, and asked him to run a military academy. In fact, the commander-in-chief himself is the best." Zou, the principal of Guangdong Higher Normal School Lu Ze said: "Our higher normal school is very good. As long as we strengthen military training, we can be both civil and military. Why do we need to set up another military academy!" ⊙Wang Boling was a figure that Chiang Kai-shek relied on in the military academy. It was said that Wang was mediocre and smoked opium.He Xian served as the chief instructor of the military academy, and after the establishment of the teaching group, he became the head of the teaching group. ⊙On the eve of the Northern Expedition, Fang Dingying, the dean of the military academy, suffered from factional struggles in the school and asked Chiang Kai-shek to resign.Jiang refused, and replied: "This is easy to handle. For political issues, you can refer to Mr. Tan Zuan (Yan Kai), the acting chairman of the National Government. For party issues, you can refer to Mr. Zhang Jingjiang, the acting chairman of the Central Party Department. You can only take all other responsibilities." And Fang Dingying was appointed as the dean of education and acting principal. ⊙On January 25, 1925, the Young Soldiers Congress elected Jiang Xianyun, Zeng Kuoqing, He Zhonghan, and He Weineng to organize the preparatory meeting for the Chinese Youth Soldiers Federation. origin.After the establishment of the Young Soldiers Federation, under the leadership of Dai Jitao, the rightist forces quickly organized the "Sun Wenism Society", headed by Dai Jitao, Wang Boling, Chen Cheng, He Zhonghan, Miao Bin, etc. Later, the famous Hu Zongnan and Wu Tiecheng also belonged to this faction. ⊙At the beginning of 1926, Chiang Kai-shek announced the disbandment of the Young Soldiers Federation and the Sun Wenism Society, and immediately established the Whampoa Military Academy Alumni Association. Chiang himself served as the president, and Zeng Kuoqing acted as the president. Until then, the Whampoa Department was truly owned by Chiang. ⊙In 1924, the Whampoa Military Academy was established, and its official name was the Military Academy of the Chinese Kuomintang Army.There are different opinions about the initial candidate for the principal. Some say that Sun Yat-sen appointed Xu Chongzhi first, while others say that Cheng Qian was appointed, and that Chiang Kai-shek and Li Jishen were the vice-principals.But Jiang did not want to be under others, and ran back to Shanghai halfway. Later, Zhang Jingjiang and Dai Jitao interceded, and Sun Yat-sen appointed Jiang as the chief of staff of the General Command of the Guangdong Army and the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy. ⊙Fuxing Society has the so-called "Thirteen Taibao", the real pillars are He Zhonghan, Deng Wenyi, Kang Ze, and Dai Li.Kang Ze later organized a "Range Squad", known as the "Yulin Army", "Students of the Son of Heaven", and "Supervisor Army". ⊙The Whampoa Clan has the so-called "Eight King Kong", most trusted by Chiang Kai-shek: He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, Liu Zhi, Gu Zhutong, Jiang Dingwen, Zhang Zhizhong, Qian Dajun, and Chen Chengji. ⊙During the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang wanted to make peace with Nanjing, and asked Jiang Baili, who was under house arrest by himself.Jiang asked: "Who is the most annoying to you here?" Zhang replied: "Jiang Dingwen!" Jiang said: "Then send him." ⊙During the Xi'an Incident, Chiang Kai-shek discovered that his confidant Zeng Kuoqing had been unfaithful to him. After his release, Chiang immediately ordered "Zeng Kuoqing is shameless and will never be hired" and put Zeng in the cold palace. ⊙He Yingqin was the number two figure in the Whampoa Clan after Chiang Kai-shek, but Jiang Hejian also had discord from time to time. In August 1927, Chiang Kai-shek went to the field by telegram, and when he made a comeback a few months later, telegrams of allegiance were sent from all over the country asking Chiang to return to office.One day, Jiang complained to his subordinates: "Now that Feng Huanzhang (Yuxiang) and Yan Baichuan (Xishan) have sent out telegrams of support for me, why hasn't he (He Yingqin) sent one! What is he thinking?" ⊙When Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren forced Chiang Kai-shek to step down in 1927, He Yingqin did not stand up to support Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek was very angry about this, and someone told He: "Without me, Chiang Kai-shek, there would never be He Yingqin. He is afraid of Bai Chongxi, so why not Am I Chiang Kai-shek?" ⊙ During the Anti-Japanese War in Songhu on January 28, He Yingqin said to Foreign Minister Luo Wenqian: "The situation in the country is not good. You diplomats should resort to diplomacy. If you don't do diplomacy at this time, when will you do it?" Luo Hong replied with a sullen face, "What do you know? A weak country has no diplomacy." ⊙Huang Yu is regarded as a pro-Japanese faction, and He Yingqin is even more pro-Japanese than Huang, so Huang called He a "traitor". ⊙After the end of the Central Plains War, Chen Cheng, who was rewarded for his meritorious performance, was promoted from division commander to army commander. However, Chen was a young man with low qualifications, and no one wanted to follow him. Therefore, Chen's army commander only took care of his original division. In fact, he is an air commander. ⊙In order to win over Tan Yankai, Chiang Kai-shek asked Soong Meiling to recognize Tan's third daughter Tan Xiang as his goddaughter. Later, in order to win over his subordinate Chen Cheng, Soong Meiling came forward and married his goddaughter to Chen Cheng.In this way, Chen is not only a member of the Whampoa family, but also a fellow from Zhejiang, and at the same time has a relationship with Jiang Weng's son-in-law. ⊙After Chen Cheng became Minister of Military and Political Affairs, Gu Zhu and others were not convinced, but Gu was very tactful and knew that the deal was done, so he went around telling people: "I have already told Chairman Jiang that only Chen Cixiu (Chen Cheng) is capable of serving as Minister of Military and Political Affairs .” ⊙In November 1944, He Yingqin became the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army in the China Theater, and at the same time resigned as the Minister of Military and Political Affairs for 14 years.Chiang Kai-shek asked He to nominate the candidates for the military and political ministers, and He named Gu Zhutong, Liu Zhi, and Xue Yue, but Jiang was noncommittal. ⊙During the Central Plains War, Chiang Kai-shek sent He Chengjun to control the miscellaneous troops along the Ping-Han line to deal with Feng Yan.He Jiang set up his headquarters in Luohe, Henan, and transported two kinds of "strategic materials" from Hankou. One was a group of well-known Chinese and foreign chefs, and the other was a group of high-class prostitutes.At the same time, a "military home" was set up on Luohe Street, and all the equipment was very elegant.During the war, relying on these two kinds of "strategic materials" and "supply" various military generals stabilized the front line of Pinghan Road for Chiang Kai-shek. ⊙In 1940, Wei Lihuang, the commander of the first war zone, was transferred to be the commander of the expeditionary force. According to reason, Sun Lianzhong, the deputy commander of the theater, should be promoted to the post, but Chiang Kai-shek transferred Jiang Dingwen to be the commander.When Jiang Dingwen took office, Sun held a grand welcome party and performed Peking Opera "The Meeting of Heroes", in which "Jiang Gan Steals Books" was discounted, and the clown who played Jiang Gan performed particularly well. "Pirate officer". ⊙Chiang Kai-shek advocated the "New Life Movement".During the "New Life Movement", Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling flew to Jinan, and Han Fuju used his own way to treat his own body, and only prepared "New Life Rice" for entertainment, four yellow rice buns with cabbage, beans, fish, and shrimp. vegetable.In the same year, when Kong Xiangxi came to Ji, Han still entertained him with "New Life Rice", which consisted of millet rice and cattail vegetables and reeds from Minghu Lake.Jiang, Kong and others held their breath, but they couldn't say anything. ⊙In 1937, Chiang Kai-shek let Song Meiling take control of the air force, and was the nominal "commander-in-chief of the air force".Therefore, people call Song the "Mother of the Air Force". ⊙Hu Zongnan was the one with the fastest promotion and the greatest military power in the Whampoa Clan, and he was also one of the Thirteen Taibaos of the Fuxing Society.Some people complained: "The Whampoa family is indeed Chairman Jiang's direct son, and Hu Zongnan has become Chairman Jiang's 'prince'." ⊙ Whenever Chiang Kai-shek, Soong Ziwen, and Kong Xiangxi have any conflicts, as long as the eldest sister Soong Ailing steps in, no matter how big the matter is, it can be resolved.In front of Chiang Kai-shek, she was the only one who didn't address Chiang with the titles of "President" and "Chairman", but only "Brother Jiang". ⊙Dai Jitao is an old revolutionary in the Kuomintang, and served as Sun Yat-sen's entourage secretary.His original name was "Chuanxian", which means "passing on a scholarly family". "Ji Tao" means to learn from Tao Zhugong (Fan Li), a wealthy merchant in the Spring and Autumn Period. ⊙Song Ziwen wrote to Chiang Kai-shek, saying: "Wen Yu Junzuo, loves the same flesh and blood, friendship with the monarch and ministers." ⊙In addition to Chen Bulei, there are so-called "eight secretaries" in Chiang Kai-shek's attendant room: Xu Qingyu who studied law in the UK, He Fangli who studied in France, Xu Daolin who studied in Germany, Zhang Yiding who studied in the United States, Gao Chuanzhu who studied in the Soviet Union, and Luo who studied in Japan Gong Hua, Fu Rui, Li Yujiu. ⊙Since the day Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Bui met, Chiang has always called Chen "Mr. Bui", and it has never changed for twenty years.Chen was also loyal to Jiang and worked hard. On November 13, 1948, when the defeat of the Kuomintang government was imminent, Chen Bulei committed suicide by swallowing sleeping pills and was buried with his body. ⊙ On February 11, 1949, when the country changed hands, Dai Jitao committed suicide by taking sleeping pills in Guangzhou, and left a will saying: "If the bureaucratic style remains unchanged, we must die!" ⊙In August 1945, when Japan surrendered, Chiang Kai-shek asked Chen Bulei to draw up a list of Chinese surrendered personnel.Chen wrote "Zhu De" for the first time, and Jiang crossed it out with a red pencil. Chen wrote it again for the second time, and Jiang still crossed it out.Chen couldn't bear it anymore, and confronted him, saying: "Mr. is too narrow-minded to do this, and it will be self-defeating in the future!" Jiang also replied angrily: "Mr. Bray, this is not something that a scholar like Mr. can understand. " ⊙Lin Sen keeps a low profile, does not form cliques, and does not fight for power. Even if he is the chairman of the government (head of state), he still claims that "I am nothing more than a seal inspector" and is just a seal watcher.So no matter who came to power among Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Jingwei, or Hu Hanmin, they could cooperate very well. ⊙In July 1934, Chiang Kai-shek organized the Army Officer Training Corps to gather middle and high-level officers in the warlord armies from all over the country for training, and secretly planted spies among the trainees to learn about the life, history, property, and relationship of the generals in these places. The relationship with the local governor, especially how much money the governor has made him.When the students graduated, Jiang gave each student a large amount of travel expenses, ranging from 100,000 yuan to 1 million yuan. ⊙Sun Tongxuan is Han Fuju's subordinate. Sun's father was celebrating his 70th birthday. He asked someone to ask Chiang Kai-shek for a photo as a souvenir. Chiang readily gave him a photo, plus a birthday curtain, a birthday screen and a check for 5,000 yuan. ⊙In 1909, Chiang Kai-shek graduated from Zhenwu School in Japan and joined the Field Artillery Corps as he wished. However, taking care of the army horses is the most important task for Chiang. A look of grief and indignation." ⊙July 27, 1919, "Chiang Kai-shek's Diary" records: Recently, I have suffered from gonorrhea, and I feel depressed. On November 7, 1920, "Chiang Kai-shek's Diary" recorded: In the afternoon, I bought books and chased colors. ⊙Internal comments of the national army: Hu Zongnan is only talented as a teacher, but Lao Jiang made him the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops. Can he be undefeated? ⊙Chen Bulei took part in the imperial examination in the Qing Dynasty at the age of 14. Among the 152 candidates in the county examination, Chen was the last one, and his father scolded him angrily.But in the next government examination, Chen Jing won the first place. ⊙In Chongqing during the war, a reporter from the National Salvation Daily went to Chen Bui’s house to interview, but Chen was not at home. The reporter told the guard: “How many piers I have run to and how many mansions I have seen. boss!" ⊙Chen Bulei has many children, and the family's living expenses are high, so the daily meals are vegetables, radishes and the like.During the festival, you can buy a chicken or a duck, and the pork never exceeds two catties.Once, the chef bought a two-jin soft-shelled turtle without authorization. Chen thought it was too extravagant, so he fired the chef immediately. ⊙Chen Bulei, as Chiang Kai-shek's confidant secretary, has a noble status, but he never seeks personal gain because of this, and never accepts gifts.Once someone brought a pack of dried fish, put it in the guard room and left. The guard did not dare to report the matter to Chen Bulei, so he sent the dried fish to the kitchen, and the guards ate it privately.Another time, someone brought a few boxes of mooncakes, and the guard left the mooncakes for everyone to eat like last time.The guard recalled: "We made extra money just twice in the Chen Mansion." ⊙After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Guofu suggested: "The government should come forward and buy up all the land in Nanjing that has not yet been built to carry out land reform." This move was met with fierce opposition. Chen recalled: "At first I didn't understand I didn’t understand until later.” It turned out that most of the land in Nanjing was bought by high-ranking government officials at very cheap prices. ⊙Sa Zhenbing, a famous naval officer, has a distant cousin, Shen Zhengyi, who lives by fortune-telling and divination, and his business is very slow.Later, when Sa Zhenbing became the governor of Fujian, Shen moved the hexagram booth to the gate of the provincial government, and made a big signboard for himself: the upper line is "the cousin of the current governor", and the lower line is "an ancient and modern show". Famous masters", the horizontal batch is "Bao Ru dignitary".Business suddenly boomed. ⊙When the Revolution of 1911 broke out, Chiang Kai-shek was still serving as a soldier in Japan. After receiving a telegram from Chen Qimei urging him to return to China, Chiang immediately issued a leave request. Unfortunately, the leave request was not approved, and he only got 48 hours of short leave; 48 hours If you don't return, you will be treated as a deserter.Jiang, Zhang Qun and others disguised themselves as students and ran back to China.Afterwards, the Japanese Army Ministry gave Chiang the punishment of "retiring from the army". ⊙During the Revolution of 1911, Chiang Kai-shek served as a platoon leader in Zhang Zongchang's regiment and participated in the Hangzhou Uprising. ⊙Liu Zhennian, brigade commander under Zhang Zongchang, defected to Chiang Kai-shek during the Northern Expedition of the Kuomintang.Zhang Zongchang climbed a big tree and said to Liu: "Brother, come out quickly! I really didn't know about you before. If I knew about you, I would have made you the commander of the army a long time ago. I am so blind eye!" ⊙Lin Sen and his wife had a good relationship. In the third year after marriage, his wife died of illness, and Lin Sen never remarried because of it.Lin Sen always carried a suitcase with him. It was rumored that the ashes of his deceased wife were contained in the suitcase, and he never left his body. ⊙When Dai Jitao was the editor-in-chief of Civil Rights News, he was arrested and imprisoned because his articles were too violent and "advocated murder".Dai said: "It is not a good newspaper if the door is not closed, and it is not a good editor if the editor is not imprisoned." It became a famous saying for a while. ⊙When Jiang Baili was 13 years old, his mother, Yang's family, was seriously ill, and many famous doctors were consulted, but nothing improved.Jiang remembered the ancient saying of "cutting the butt to treat relatives", so he cut off a piece of meat from his left arm and cooked soup for his mother.Once Yang took it, the disease was cured. ⊙Jiang Baili was a leading military scientist in the Republic of China. He served as the first-class councilor of Yuan Shikai's presidential palace, adviser of Li Yuanhong's presidential palace, chief of general staff of Wu Peifu, and senior advisor of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government. In 1906, Jiang Baili graduated from the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy and won the saber bestowed by the Japanese Emperor with the first place.Jiang Baili, Zhang Xiaozhun, and Cai E are known as the "Three Heroes of China" in the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy. ⊙Jiang Baili learned infantry, Jiang Boqi learned cavalry, and both were from Zhejiang, so Zhang Taiyan praised them as: "The second general of Zhejiang, the country and the city." ⊙Jiang Baili debated with Liang Qichao, who was Jiang's teacher.So, someone said to Jiang: "Liang Rengong is your mentor. Wouldn't it hurt your feelings to argue with him openly?" Jiang replied: "I love my teacher, and I love the truth more." ⊙Jiang Baili and Xu Zhimo are relatives and friends.When Xu Zhimo was in the worst financial situation, Jiang ordered him to sell his house in Beijing. In 1930, Jiang Baili was imprisoned, and Xu went to Nanjing to accompany Jiang in prison. ⊙Huang Yanpei said about Jiang Baili: "A born strategist is also a born writer." ⊙After Jiang Baili passed away, Feng Yuxiang published an article in a Hong Kong newspaper, asserting that Jiang was murdered.Later, in his book "The Chiang Kai-shek I Know", he still insisted on this statement. ⊙When Jiang Baili died in 1938, he was buried on the spot.In 1947, a group of his friends moved his body back to the West Lake in Zhejiang Province. When the coffin was raised, Jiang's body was still not decayed.Zhu Kezhen, a good friend before his death, cried and said: "Baili! Baili! Do you want to be treated? I tell you now, our country has won!" For a moment, everyone wept.
