The wailing incident refers to/kloc-0. In March, 947, more than 400 schools in Nanjing visited Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum because they were dissatisfied with the Kuomintang policy.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, in April of 1946, the General Command of the Kuomintang Army held a meeting of the Military Commission in Nanjing. After the meeting, the troops were reorganized on a large scale, and the commanders of various theaters and the headquarters of the group army were abolished.
Because these departments are all battle sequences during the Anti-Japanese War, the civil war is no longer applicable. So the general was changed into a comprehensive division, and the division was changed into a comprehensive brigade. Soldiers below the regimental level were replenished and equipped with new weapons. Some soldiers who were not in their own units were merged into their own units, while most of the officers were laid off as redundant staff in the 12 services and arms established nationwide, and were stationed in big cities such as Chongqing, Changsha, Wuhu, Han and Hangzhou, waiting for resettlement.
At that time, there was a "Central Training Group" headed by Chiang Kai-shek. The mission of this regiment is to identify and dismiss redundant generals who do not belong to their own faction or whose beliefs are not firm. At that time, there were more than 400 redundant generals concentrated in the "Central Training Corps" in Nanjing, from various war zones. Most of them came from Whampoa Military Academy and participated in the Northern Expedition and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.
In addition, some redundant police officers were sent to the Central Police Academy for training. All these redundant workers are treated badly. Many people have to roll with the punches and work hard for the survival of their families, waiting for them to find a part-time job and then pay off their debts in Xu Tu. Therefore, the treatment method is to retire in batches.
After graduating from the Police Academy, a policeman named Zhang Qingquan had no job and no source of income for several months. His young wife tearfully advised her husband to sell her and make a living with the money she sold. In desperation, Zhang Qingquan had to sell his wife to a small vendor. When the couple broke up, they cried bitterly and were very sad.
There is an army major general in the general's class, Chen. During the Anti-Japanese War, he remained neutral in the battle of Changsha. When he came out of the army, he was already in the terminal stage of lung disease. He has five children, the oldest is only 10 years old, and the youngest is less than one year old. He is hungry and cold all day. Where can he afford to treat diseases? 1in the middle of February, 947, he committed suicide by taking sleeping pills while his wife was not at home. After Chen's death, the body was parked at home for four days. Finally, the students in the ordinary class and the police class pooled their money to buy him a thin-skinned coffin. ...
Why are these redundant employees so "handled" by the authorities? In this regard, Dai, then Lieutenant General of the Military Service Bureau of the Kuomintang, privately revealed: "The Commander-in-Chief (Chen Cheng) thinks that some of these surplus generals are old and useless, and some have complicated brains. Once something happens (civil war), they are afraid that they are not loyal to the party and the country. Although he also participated in the Northern Expedition and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, they were not appointed by the commander in chief. Therefore, in addition to the veterans of Baoding Military Academy who retired as usual, even Huangpu students (referring to those who joined Fuxing Society, Unified China and Unified Army). ) Those without special performance will be removed. " This passage is probably the best footnote.
The shocking and outrageous events have greatly stimulated the redundant staff, who are increasingly dissatisfied with the authorities, so everyone often gets together to talk about it. Someone suggested going to Chiang Kai-shek's official residence to petition and tell everyone's pain. Xie thinks that the first issue is not suitable. He said: "Chiang Kai-shek may not accept it. The decision on the demobilization plan still rests with him. Even if he barely meets, it is only perfunctory. " So some people advocate stopping Chiang Kai-shek's car, while others advocate distributing leaflets. In the first issue, Li Mo thought it was inappropriate to be so reckless as a field officer, and it would be even more unfavorable once the situation expanded.
At this time, it was suggested that a group of people would retire in a few days, and soon everyone would eventually break up. We are all followers of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Why not go to the grave of Dr. Sun Yat-sen and hold a farewell to show our loyalty to the Three People's Principles? It is inappropriate to go to the official residence, stop the car and tell the land. Saying goodbye to the mausoleum is indeed a reasonable action. So, after some secret series, we launched Ding Delong, Cai Zhongyu, Zhong, Zhang Jipeng, Yu and Tang, and drafted a memorial.
At 9: 00 am on March 1947 and 19, except for some reasons, more than 300 redundant officers went to the mausoleum. They were all dressed in yellow uniforms, with medals hanging on their chests, and stood in a square. Everyone stood still and gathered on the shiping in front of the mourning hall. We recommend Ding Delong, the first-phase classmate of Huangpu and deputy commander-in-chief of the 34th Army, and Zhang Jipeng, He Xianqian, Zhang, Li Mo, Xie and Zhong Huanquan, the first-phase classmates, stand in the first row. The rest are arranged in order of schedule and age.
Ding Delong and others immediately read the eulogy after laying a wreath. After reading, they observed a three-minute silence, and then filed into the mourning hall to pay tribute to the marble statue of Dr. Sun Yat-sen and the lying statue on the coffin. When everyone returned to Shiping in front of the mourning hall with admiration, several generals spoke in succession, expressing great dissatisfaction with the status quo, especially hating the improper measures taken by the authorities.
As followers of Zhongshan, why do some people have high positions and high salaries, while others have no food and clothing? What is particularly hateful is that it is cruel for those who have been bleeding and sweating during the Northern Expedition and the Anti-Japanese War to confess and leave. The painful speech made everyone burst into tears and was relatively embarrassed. On that day, Chen's wife also attended the memorial service with three young children. She led the children to kowtow to their uncles and thanked them for their help to the deceased. Mrs. Chen couldn't help crying at the thought of orphans and widows, and everyone present rushed forward to comfort her. However, the present situation has touched everyone's heart, and they think of their family. In the future, they don't know where they will fall. For a while, they couldn't help crying. Suddenly, they shocked the cemetery and some people even fainted on the spot. Many people also excitedly shouted slogans such as "Down with corrupt officials".
This wailing incident, which shocked China and foreign countries, caused great anxiety of the Kuomintang authorities. Chen Cheng, after listening to Chiang Kai-shek's reprimand, hurriedly called (the director of education in the patrol group), Chen Lifu, Gu and other * * * business countermeasures.
Finally, several measures were decided: first, all general-level personnel under the age of 50 who did not leave the army during the Anti-Japanese War were changed to civilian posts and sent to local posts; Two, 40 to 45 years old, transferred to transportation, industry and commerce, public security and other departments; Three, under the age of 40, admitted to the army university for further study; Four, the old and weak can not serve, pay more severance pay to return home, along the way to take care of. In less than two months, the China Training Corps cancelled the formal classes and generally opened various professional training courses.
But some generals are still very helpless after retirement. For example, during the Anti-Japanese War, Cai Zhongyu, a lieutenant general's artillery brigade commander, finally died of poverty, and Ding Delong, a deputy commander in chief, angrily claimed to be a monk. Since then, among the general officers, they have gradually lost confidence in the Kuomintang authorities.
