Guangxi Big Three
However, after the defeat of the Central Plains War in 1930, Huang, the second-ranked Guangxi tycoon, left the new Guangxi clique and joined the arms of the Chang government. Why did Huang leave Xingui to take refuge in Chang? Is it a betrayal for him to leave Guangxi?
First, dissatisfaction with the civil war and disappointment with the new Guangxi family. Li Zongren, Huang and Bai Chongxi, starting from the junior officers of Lu Rongting's old Guangxi Department, swept through Guangxi in just over a year, defeated various governors and became the actual rulers of Guangxi. At this time, the three talents were in their early 30 s, which can be said to be full of ambition.

However, when these three men made ambitious attempts to go one step further and become the rulers of China, they failed repeatedly. First, in the Chiang Kai-shek War, the three men were forced out by electricity, and then they were defeated in the wars against Guangdong and the Central Plains. It can be said that from the victory of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains War for more than three years, the new Guangxi Department has been in a state of war, but it has failed one after another under the constant superb skills.

Faced with such a situation, Huang thought that the possibility of defeating the ruler of China by force no longer existed, and the new Guangxi clan did not have the ability to unify the whole country by force. Successive wars made Huang tired and disgusted with war. He hopes to solve the endless warlord scuffle in China by peaceful means.
Huang Zeng said in his memoirs:
I think the civil war in recent years is too cold. What is good for the country? What's good for the people? What are the benefits of being with yourself? So I decided to quit this vortex of civil war. yellow
Second, when Huang left the new Guangxi department, he cleaned up his home and minimized the impact on the new Guangxi department, so he was not betrayed. Huang, as the second giant of the New Guangxi Department, had a far-reaching influence in the army of the New Guangxi Department. If he really decides to betray the new Guangxi clique, then he is fully capable and capable of pulling out some troops of the new Guangxi clique to go it alone, which will have a fundamental impact on the newly defeated new Guangxi clique and even cause the new Guangxi clique to fall apart. This is not impossible.
Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi.
But Huang did not do so, but obtained the consent of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi. Therefore, it can be seen as the difference of their political ideas that Huang and Xin Gui left to work for the national government, which has nothing to do with betrayal. Moreover, after arriving at the National Government, although Huang was often used to try to replace the new Guangxi department, Huang did not cooperate, and he never took hostile actions against the new Guangxi department after Huang took various positions.

Third, the contradiction between Huang and Bai Chongxi. As the saying goes, three monks have no water to drink, and three people cooperate, which is easy to produce contradictions. Little Zhuge? Although Bai Chongxi is brilliant in military affairs, he also has the shortcomings of being narrow-minded, overreaching and even overreaching.
Bai Chongxi
First, we underestimated the fighting capacity of the Guangdong army and rashly attacked Guangdong. Not only was it defeated by the Guangdong army, but Wuzhou was also occupied by the Guangdong army. Then, in the battle against Hunan, Bai Chongxi blamed the failure of the battle on Huang's poor rescue and criticized Chun Wong. The contradiction between Huang and Bai Chongxi is almost open. Therefore, this strengthened Huang's determination to leave the new Guangxi system.
1 93065438+February1is Huang's 37th birthday. After the big three of Guangxi celebrated their birthdays together, Huang left Nanning, set out from Longzhou, went to Hong Kong via Vietnam, and after a short stay in Guangzhou, he immediately went to Nanjing and officially left New Guangxi.
Li Zongren
Within the National Government, Huang served as Minister of the Interior, Chairman of Zhejiang Province, and Chairman of Hubei Province, and never took any hostile words and deeds towards the new Guangxi clique. Moreover, after President 1948 retired for the third time, Li Zongren was able to serve as acting president, which was greatly contributed. This is also the second cooperation between the three giants in Guangxi since Huang left Guangxi.
