So, is Li Zongren really stupid enough to continue to believe that Yang Tenghui really took him back to Guangxi to continue to reuse him? Actually, it's not. Li Zongren had to do it. This is mainly because he returned to Guangxi for the first time and needed to stabilize the situation and not let the troops in Guangxi fall into chaos. The chaos of Guangxi troops gave the Central Army an opportunity. At that time, both Lu Huanyan and Yang Tenghui had intentions, especially Lu Huanyan, who kept in touch with the central authorities and Guangdong. In this case, stabilizing Yang Tenghui has become a top priority. Yang Tenghui was very happy to learn that he was not only relieved of his post, but also promoted, so he stopped thinking about taking refuge in Chen.
Yang Tenghui's abacus is wrong again. When Lu Huanyan's rebellion was solved by Li Zongren, Yang Tenghui, a senior general who had become the commander of the 7th Army, had nothing to do with his army. His three divisions were changed to two divisions, under the direct command of Bai Chongxi. Throughout the Central Plains War, although Yang Tenghui's name often appeared, he only commanded two regiments at most. An open commander can only command two regiments, not even a division. You say how wronged Yang Tenghui is.
At this moment, Yang Tenghui can't do any new moves, just like a monk. Guangxi's invasion of Hunan was frustrated. Yang estimated that Li, Bai and Huang would collapse, so he sent his cronies to talk with Chen Mi. Chen asked Chiang Kai-shek to appoint Yang as "the aftermath supervisor of the Guangxi Department". Two months later, when this power of attorney was handed over to Yang, the situation in Guangxi changed. The Yunnan army that besieged Nanning was defeated and returned to Yunnan, while the Guangdong army retreated to Wuzhou. Li Zongren ordered the Seventh Army to be stationed in Baise, and Yang was afraid of finding out. He hurriedly handed the power of attorney sent to him by Chiang Kai-shek to Bai Chongxi and lied that he didn't know the origin of the power of attorney. Yang used to play vacillating tricks, but he couldn't hide it from Bai Chongxi. Yang Tenghui was completely transferred from the army, Liao Lei was appointed as the commander of the Seventh Army, and Yang was appointed as the director of the Finance Committee of the provincial government. Less than a month later, Bai Chongxi invited Zhang Fakui and Yang Tenghui to Longzhou in the name of inspecting the frontier defense, so he detained Yang and planned to shoot him on the spot. Thanks to Zhang Fakui's intercession, he was saved from death. Yang was imprisoned in Longzhou and released in 1932. There are different opinions about this arrest. Some people are indignant about it, and some people are hitting people when they are down.
Finally, Yang Tenghui was saved from death by interceding with some generals of Yang Jiubu and Xingui Department who had friendship with him. His lucky survival made him reassess himself, and finally he decided to stay away from right and wrong. 1933, Yang went home, bought more than 2,400 mu of farmland (including mountainous area 1000 mu), and hired 15 long-term workers and dozens of short-term workers, 10 maids. There are six rent-collecting valleys in Zhengtai and other places, with an annual deposit of more than 760,000 kilograms. He built houses in counties, Zhengtai, Xinbin, Guangzhou, Nanning, Hong Kong and other places until/kloc-0 died in July, 939. When Yang was stationed in Baise, he donated 8,000 yuan to build a library in Shanglin County and went to Shanghai to buy 8,355 books and 2,544 kinds.
