Huang Shaohong (1895 – August 31, 1966) was a warlord in Guangxi province, and governed Guangxi as part of the New Guangxi Clique, though the later part of the Warlord era and a leader in the later years of the Republic of China.
Huang, a Hakka, was born in 1895, in Rong County, Guangxi, China. After the 1911 revolution he attended Guangxi Military Cadre Training School in Guilin along with Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren. Later he rose to commanded the Model Battalion, a modern professional military formation equipped with machineguns.
In the confused power struggles following the Ao-Gui Wars, local military figures began to carve out territory in Guangxi and dominate it. In the southwest were the opium trails from both Yunnan and Guizhou that ran through Baise and then down the river to Nanning, from whence opium usually went out through Wuzhou, where the trade was financed.
During the Ao-Gui wars, Huang, then the commander of the Model Battalion, attempted to stay neutral and relocated to Baise in the far northwest. By stages, Huang came to control Baise, and with it, the opium trade. Later he expanded his control to Wuzhou, thus locking up the portals through which opium both entered and left Guangxi. By the spring of 1924, the new Guangxi Clique had formed and created the Guangxi Pacification Army. Li Zongren was the Commander in Chief, Huang the deputy Commander, and Bai Chongxi the Chief-of-Staff. By August they had defeated and driven the former ruler Lu Rongting and other contenders out of the province and Huang became the civil governor of Guangxi from 1924 to 1929. He was also interior and transportation minister in the National Government of Chiang Kai-shek after 1927.
