贛政十年─熊式輝在江西的權力建構與核心幹部探析

熊式輝善於審時度勢，在政治上具有獨到眼光，自北伐起便逐步建立自身在蔣介石心中的位置，並透過人脈的累積，為往後仕途鋪路。主政江西的十年間（1932－1942），熊式輝在政治派系及黨務群體間捭闔縱橫，一面利用剿共形勢擺動權力的天秤，一面培養核心幹部，最終建立其在省內穩固的黨政軍權威。在一系列的政治競合中，江西黨政關係運作的細節，以及剿共體制下軍事機構權力擴充的實像，皆嶄露無遺。作為蔣介石重要的謀士，熊式輝在中央與地方廣結人脈，身旁亦圍繞一群得力幹部，但他並未利用這些資源打造政治小組織，僅願以個人之姿追隨領袖，這樣的選擇來自其政治性格與見識。熊式輝與幹部群體的關係，亦猶如他自身政治實踐的延伸。

並列摘要

Using his political skills and keen insight, Hsiung Shih-hui successfully build political connections and took the position as Chiang Kai-Shek's staff officer during the Northern Expedition. He gradually gained trust from Chiang and became a rising star in Kuomintang politics. During his long tenure as the Chairman of Kiangsi Province (1932-1942), Hsiung was faced with a complicated political-military environment. He managed the campaign against the Commuists, adjusted the relationship between the local government and the KMT party branch, nurtured his own cadre group, and ultimately consolidated his authority in the province. In these delicate political maneuverings, Hsiung's ascendance allows us to examine the unusual functioning of local power and command systems that was key to an understanding of Kuomintang China. Although political connections were critical in one's career in the Nationalist Government, and Hsiung himself was benefited from such connections in obtaining key offices, he never organized his cadre group in Jiangxi into a personal following. He served Chiang Kai-shek as an individual rather than the leader of a faction. His political character and loyalty to Chiang determined this choice, which gave him a special place in Kuomintang history.
