God of war Xue Yue on the battlefield bravely killed the enemy, admired by all, but why was his later years very miserable?

In our country's war period, there are many outstanding generals and leaders led soldiers to fight and protect our country and people. The fact that we can have the life and development we have now has nothing to do with these soldiers and generals who defended our country. They put the country and the people first, and their own lives second, and bravely went into battle to kill the enemy with the determination to die. Today we are going to talk about the war hero Xue Yue, who was invincible on the battlefield and was known as the God of War. But but in his later years did not have the money to pay the rent, and was no place to live, do you know why this is?

Admiration for Yue Fei

Xue Yue was born in Guangdong in 1896, his original name was Xue Yang Yue, his father was a farmer, but very much admire Yue Fei, think Yue Fei is the hero in his mind, hope that their own children can be like Yue Fei to protect the family and defense of the country, on the battlefield to become a hero, so the son's name was Xue Yang Yue. When Xue Yue grew up, he also went to the battlefield to kill the enemy like Yue Fei and protected many people, so he changed his name to Xue Yue himself.

Xue Yue grew up with very good academic performance, he is very talented in leading soldiers to fight, in the childhood when we play games together, he will organize everyone, let everyone line up in a row, at that time the little friends are very listen to his words, from this can be seen, Xue Yue is a leader of the talent. When Xue Yue was a teenager, he was admitted to the army's officers' school with excellent grades. Inside the school, he studied hard and learned a lot about leading soldiers into battle, and he also joined the Allied Communist Party.

Xue Yue not only participated in the war of Northern Expedition, but also served as Sun Yat-sen's personal guard. In the second revolution, other troops were repeatedly defeated, but only Xue Yue led the troops to go forward and win a hundred battles, has been recovered Shanghai and Hangzhou, with the style of Yue Fei. In 1937, Xue Yue was the commander of the 19th Army, and the enemy launched five fierce attacks, which were all resisted by Xue Yue's army. At that time, he went with the mindset of certain death, but fortunately survived. In 1938, Xue Yue led his own army to command them in battle and managed to achieve a big victory, wiping out more than 100,000 enemies. After this battle, Xue Yue was also known as the God of War.

Xue Yue, who was well versed in the art of war, also created a tactic, which is the Heavenly Furnace Warfare, in which he slowly consumed the enemy army and waited until the enemy army had made a breakthrough, and then eliminated the enemy army in one fell swoop, and took the victory. This tactic is very good, coupled with Xue Yue's high command ability, so he achieved three great victories.

Sheltered

Xue Yue was good at fighting, but he was only good at dealing with the enemy, not civil war. At the time of the siege of the Red Army, Chiang Kai-shek said that Xue Yue's combat power was not high, and he could not command. The Red Army's long march of 25,000,000 miles, and Xue Yue with troops chased 20,000 miles or did not catch up, but Xue Yue is not interested in the civil war at all. The battlefield of the war of resistance against Japan is where Xue Yue plays, but after the war of resistance against Japan is over, Xue Yue has the idea of retirement.

Chiang Kai-shek approached Xue Yue and asked him to become an army commander or a navy commander, but Xue Yue refused without any hesitation, and because of this incident, Xue Yue and Chiang Kai-shek had a relationship. Xue Yue also supported Li Zongren's election as president, which was clearly against Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek was very angry. In 1994, Chiang Kai-shek directly appointed Xue Yue as the commander of Hainan's defense, whether Xue Yue was willing or not. Only after Xue Yue took office did he realize that there was no regular army on Hainan Island at all, and that the troops had been completely broken up.

Xue Yue had no choice but to bring a few security divisions from Guangdong over to try to fend off the PLA, but the PLA was a very strong army at the time, and there was no way for Xue Yue's troops to fight them. Moreover, the defense line they set up was just like a setup, the PLA didn't take these carvings in their eyes at all and defeated them completely in just four days. After the defeat, Xue Yue arrived in Taiwan overnight, and only four of the six security divisions remained.

The four security divisions were all integrated by Chiang Kai-shek, and Xue Yue became a commander with only a name but no real power, hanging on to an official position, but in fact nothing to do. However, Xue Yue's reputation is still very high, everyone respected him very much, he would have wanted to retire, so for him with or without the official position is the same.

Miserable old age

Xue Yue's old age is not very good, can be said to be a little miserable. After the deaths of Chiang Kai-shek and his son Chiang Ching-kuo, it was Lee Teng-hui's turn in power. Although Chiang Kai-shek hollowed out Xue Yue, but Xue Yue at least made blood and sweat for the country, no matter what, Chiang Kai-shek is to respect Xue Yue. This was not the case with Lee Teng-hui. At that time, Xue Yue had the status of a delegate to the National Assembly, and he refused to sign the constitutional amendment proposal put forward by the Kuomintang. So Lee Teng-hui used his position to revoke the committee that provided funds to Xue Yue, in which case Xue Yue could not get the funds every month.

And it just so happened that Xue Yue's house belonged to the Bank of Taiwan, so without the funds, Xue Yue had to pay the rent himself. The Bank of Taiwan demanded a high rent from Xue Yue, who refused to accept it. Lee Teng-hui let the bank sued Hsueh Yueh in court, Hsueh Yueh was very angry, directly moved out of the house. He moved out of the house and found a small house of a few square meters to live in. After a few years of living like this, the war god died. At the time of his death, people found that this god of war was very plain, there was only a bed and a table inside the house, and even the clothes were very little, very miserable.

Xue Yue was 103 years old, a very long life, after Xue Yue passed away, Lee Teng-hui also got his punishment. If Lee Teng-hui had not interfered, then Xue Yue's old age would not have been so miserable, Xue Yue made great contributions to our country, he should be respected and admired. Lee Teng-hui's divisive remarks in 2001 led to his own downfall and expulsion from the KMT, and it was all his own fault.

Xue Yue's life is very admirable, he really did like Yue Fei to protect the family and defend the country, but also to fulfill his father's expectations of him, which for him a lifetime has no regrets. It is because of people like Xue Yue that our country has developed to the point it is today, and Xue Yue is a great contributor to the motherland. Do you think Xue Yue should be honored by us?
