Chiang Kai-shek's answer is also very simple, he listens to me! Speaking of which, it means that Tom is safe again, at least his life is guaranteed. It should be said that although Tang is from Zhejiang, he is not from Huangpu. Why is he so valued and favored by Chiang Kai-shek? We can trace back to Tang Bowen's prosperity and his personal relationship with Chen Yi and Chiang Kai-shek.
192 1 year, Tang Bowen, Wuyi, Zhejiang, aged 2 1 year, immigrated to Japan and entered Meiji University to study political economy the following year. At school, in order to earn tuition and living expenses, he and Fa Xiao, also from Wuyi, jointly opened a Chinese restaurant "Zhuofenlou" in Tokyo, mainly for China students. One day, a girl named Wang in Shengzhou was included in the list of customers who chased the building. She studies in a silkworm school in Tokyo. Tang learned that Wang was the daughter of Chen Yi, the first commander of Zhejiang Army and the governor of Zhejiang Province, and decided to chase Wang Pan to the "big tree" of Chen Yi. Therefore, every time Miss Wang comes to dinner, she will feel Tang's hospitality. She knew the enthusiasm in the young man's eyes. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Due to poor management, Zhuifeng Building had to be closed immediately. Tang, who lacked tuition and living expenses, had to drop out of school and go home. He also had to say goodbye to Jing Wong. They haven't established a relationship yet.
After returning home, Tang met Chen Yi. Without a word, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Chen Yi was pleasantly surprised. He thinks this young man is very cheerful and remarkable. After a pleasant exchange, Chen Yi became Tang's recommender in Japanese NCO School, and subsidized his official expenses in 50 yuan every month. In this way, in the spring of 1924, Cheng Tang went to Zhenwu School for the first time for the students of Japanese Military Division. Since then, in order to express his gratitude, Tang changed his real name from Tang Keqin and called Chen Yi his teacher. 1926, Tang returned to China with a Japanese scholar diploma. The first thing he did when he came back was to marry Wang. Here, Tang gave Chen Yi two names: adoptive father and father-in-law. In Chen Yi No.1 1 division, Tang was promoted from the company commander to the head of the division. After Chen Yi's Northern Expeditionary Army, the first division was expanded into the 19th Army, and Tang was appointed as the deputy commander. After Chiang Kai-shek established the National Government in Nanking, Chen Yi recommended him as the staff officer of the commander of the Northern Expedition General Command, on the one hand, to provide a bigger platform for Tang, on the other hand, to settle down in the central government. After the victory of the Northern Expedition, Chiang Kai-shek moved the Whampoa Military Academy from Guangzhou to Nanjing and renamed it the Central Military Academy.
Eager to try, Tang asked Chen Yi to help him as an instructor in a military school. Chen Yi followed the path of Zhang Zhizhong, the chief educator of the military academy. With the consent of Chiang Kai-shek, Tang was transferred to the Military Academy as an instructor, and the president was Chiang Kai-shek. Therefore, although Tang is not from Huangpu, he boarded the Huangpu ship, which is very important for his future success. Unlike other teachers who take students to do morning exercises on campus, Tang takes the first batch of students to Geelong Mountain every day. Over time, Chiang Kai-shek, who lives in the official residence of Geelong Mountain, always finds their footsteps neat and powerful, and their shouts are loud and clear, which he appreciates very much. After asking Zhang Zhizhong, he found that the instructor in charge of this team was Don. He remembers that name. Later, on the basis of German infantry training and combining with the essence of Japanese training, Tang compiled A Study on Coach of Infantry Squadron (Company) and handed it to Zhang Zhizhong and Chiang Kai-shek. Because this action is more in line with the objective situation of China's army, Chiang Kai-shek praised it very much. Therefore, Tang was granted the right to hand over the manuscript directly to Chiang Kai-shek, which also meant that he officially entered Chiang Kai-shek's field of vision. According to people close to Chiang Kai-shek, Tang's "philosophers" were most favored by Chiang Kai-shek, and his suggestions were adopted by Chiang Kai-shek the most.
With the help of Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Zhizhong, Tang, who showed outstanding talents, was promoted to the position of deputy director of the Ministry of Education of the Military Academy in early 1929. Since then, he has served as deputy company commander of the officer education company (Zhang Zhizhong served as company commander), battalion commander of the officer education battalion and deputy head of the officer education regiment. At this stage, Tang not only showed excellent business ability, but also was good at making Chiang Kai-shek happy. He once said to Chiang Kai-shek: Soldiers only need to do what soldiers should do. As for personal advance and retreat, that's the principal's problem to consider, not my relationship. Soon, he was ordered to teach the first brigade of the second division of Tang Dynasty. After the outbreak of the Central Plains War, the Second Division of Zhang Zhizhong taught Tang's Fourth Brigade, Guan's Fifth Brigade and Zhang Lianhua's Sixth Brigade. Because Tang insisted on guidance (Shangqiu), he ensured the safety of Chiang Kai-shek's general headquarters and was praised by Chiang Kai-shek again. Since then, he has been promoted to deputy commander of the fourth division of Tang Dynasty, commander of the second division, the eighth division and the fourth division. At this point, Tang's military strength gradually formed.
From 65438 to 0935, Tang took over as the commander of the No.1 13 Army, commanding the 89th Division and the 4th Division. The 13 Army also became the foundation of Tangbo Military Group. After the Lugouqiao Incident broke out, Tang took the initiative to submit an invitation letter to Chiang Kai-shek, saying:1At the end of July, 937, Chiang Kai-shek did give Tang an arduous job, which enabled him to lead the 13 th Army to resist the powerful Japanese army at the south exit. He must blockade the Japanese army for more than eight days. Tang's answer may make Chiang Kai-shek feel very happy. He said: Finally, Tang controlled the Japanese army in Nankou 18 days, exceeding the task assigned by Chiang Kai-shek. Some newspapers even published editorials saying, "The Battle of Nankou can be compared with the Great Wall War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the Battle of Songhu." .
After the battle of Nankou, Tang was promoted almost once: after the battle of Nankou, he was promoted to the commander of the 20 th Army; After the Battle of Taierzhuang, he served as Commander-in-Chief of the 3 1 Army. After the Battle of Ikki, he was promoted to commander-in-chief of the three armed forces of Sulu and Henan. After the war in Wan Yun, Don Bourne was called "enemy number one" by Ningji Okamura. Since1942,31every member of the army, Tang has served as the deputy commander of the first war zone and has stationed more than 600,000 troops in Yexian County, Henan Province. Tang, who was only in command for three years, lost his reputation as "the king of the Central Plains" with the fiasco in central Henan, and entered the trough stage of his life. In August 1948, Chen Yi was appointed as the chairman of Zhejiang Province on the recommendation of Tang. 1949 65438+ 10, Tang, commander-in-chief of the Yangtze river defense, refused the Chen Yi rebellion and handed a personal letter from Mao Renfeng to Chiang Kai-shek at Xikou.
1June, 950, Chen Yi was shot dead in Taipei. Tang "informer" was despised not only by his colleagues, but also by Chiang Kai-shek. His political life and daily life are in trouble. 1954, Tang, who was treated for gastric bleeding in Tokyo, died on the operating table of the hospital. Although Tang people are far away, his judgment of right and wrong is still not far away. In the future, we will share different views and let you walk into the ocean of history. Thank you very much for watching.
