I understand the sorrow of General Zhang Lingfu

General Zhang Lingfu,
an anti-Japanese national hero, was defeated by Su Yu
in the war of liberation . The reasons for this are worth digging into and exploring. Zhang Lingfu, an outstanding person of a generation, was admitted to the Yenching University Congwen first. He thought that the troubled times could not solve the problem, so he gave up his studies, and was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy to Congwu. At that time, it was the best university in the country . However, he does have arrogant capital, clever mind, outstanding education, and direct lineage background. He led the Anti-Japanese Iron Army in the Anti-Japanese War and fought many hard battles . In the battle of Menglianggu, Zhang Lingfu, who had been on the battlefield, may be arrogant, but he would never make the big mistake of going alone. Zhang Lingfu believed that the hundreds of thousands of Kuomintang troops around him would only take a day or two to reach Menglianggu . With the strong military strength of the 74th Division and Meng Lianggu's dangerous situation, it would not be a problem to hold on here for a day or two. Later, Su Yu clearly pointed out that how could Zhang Lingfu, a famous general in a hundred battles, make such a low-level mistake ?

































In fact, it is a far-sighted strategy to lure the enemy into the depths.
Zhang Lingfu's actions were based on what he saw, but
there was something he didn't see, that is , the National Government was a loose
coalition government in history. Guns and the army have the right to have a say. With this mentality, all wars become transactions, and everyone is calculating gains and losses. And Zhang Lingfu, who is arrogant and has always regarded himself very highly, looked down on those old warlords, and usually did not pay attention to dealing with them. Interpersonal relationships, and the skyrocketing rocket makes many people feel unbalanced. The world is like this. Everyone is jealous of people around them who are better than themselves. When that person is in trouble, the first thing that comes to mind is to gloat at the misfortune, not Try to help. Zhang Lingfu didn't see these, but Su Yu saw them. The reason why Su Yu, such a cautious person, dared to take such a risk, he bet all on "the Kuomintang friendly forces will not go all out to rescue", it turned out that he was right. This malady became an incurable disease of the Kuomintang army. A few years later, Huang Baitao committed suicide because the friendly troops were unable to rescue him.






























Therefore, to sum up Zhang Lingfu's grief,
the following lessons should be learned:
1. Don't be arrogant, be humble and low-key.
2. Set up less enemies, make more friends, and be open-minded. Do the right thing, not the person.
3. Consider the problem, it should be based on human nature. Humans are animals that seek to avoid disadvantages and seek to maximize their own interests. Most people are lay people and cannot escape from these. Therefore, once those acts against human nature occur, they are greatly praised, because they are rare and worthy of praise. Some human nature is not controlled by reason. Some people can comprehend it through self-study, and some people can only truly comprehend it when they encounter a bloodbath. Most people only realize it when they are older. Tell it to the young people, the young people are very disdainful and don’t want to listen to those old ways. I have been smashed and bloody in the years, and I realized that I told the descendants to listen to them, and the descendants disdain them. .
4. When thinking about problems, don't limit yourself to your own scope, try to get out of your own circle, learn more from friends, teachers, family members, and judge the general environment and trends, and finally locate your own situation. make the most reasonable judgment.
5. Chiang Kai-shek's loose coalition military government can quickly achieve superficial unification, but cannot solve the problem of independent governance. Only a big change and a big change of blood can be reborn. Chiang Kai-shek has never solved this problem, and he also has his helplessness. To fight the Anti-Japanese War, he did not have enough time and preparation to solve this problem. On the other hand, Mao Zedong's Communist Party, even though it was very weak from the beginning, did not forget to establish an army with absolute leadership and authority to obey the command. The Party is responsible for doing ideological and political work and controlling thoughts. In this way, an army that absolutely obeys commands, has a unified mind, and dares to fight and fight will be established. Victory has been decided from the beginning.
6. Some things, I know the truth, I haven't practiced it, and I can't comprehend it deeply. Only when the thing happens and the previous truth is verified, can I suddenly realize it. Therefore, practice is really the standard for testing and finishing.
7. Over the years, I have studied a lot of things, participated in a lot of Zen, and learned a lot of Dao. Finally, I found that Mr. Yang Ming's knowledge and action are one. It should be the instruction I follow carefully. Do, do, verify what you think, re-correct what you think if there is a deviation, and then use knowledge to guide action, so as to truly achieve the unity of knowledge and action.
