Liu Wencai was not Liu Xiang's uncle, but a cousin, Liu Xiang was Liu Gongjing's grandson, Liu Gongjing was Liu Gongzan's younger brother, and Liu Wencai was Liu Gongzan's fifth son, and Liu Wenhui was Liu Gongzan's sixth son, that is, Liu Wencai and Liu Wenhui were brothers, and Liu Xiang was their cousin.
Regarding Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui, everyone understands that they were two great warlords during the Republic of China, especially Liu Xiang who was later known as the "King of Sichuan" after defeating Liu Wenhui.
Today, let's talk about the relationship between them.
Although Liu Wenhui was Liu Xiang's old uncle, he was six years younger than Liu Xiang, who joined the Sichuan Army after graduating from the Sichuan Army Accelerated School, And Liu Wenhua was young, and when he returned to Sichuan after graduating from the Baoding Military Academy, Liu Xiang was already a major general brigade commander.
When Liu Wenhui was developing in Sichuan, he was not smallly promoted by Liu Xiang, from the captain's staff officer all the way to the warlord who divided the side of the Sichuan army, the two people cooperated with each other in the early stage, and eventually became the two most influential warlords in the Sichuan army.
The so-called one mountain does not allow two tigers, one Sichuan does not tolerate second-rate (Liu), Liu Xiang wants to unify Sichuan as the king of Sichuan, and Liu Wenhui not only wants to dominate Sichuan, but also wants to play Sichuan to dominate the southwest, and the contradiction between the two people gradually increases.
In 1931, Liu Wenhui spent 2 million yuan on weapons and aircraft parts imported from foreign countries, and was detained by Liu Xiang halfway through, and later Liu Wenhui simply bought Liu Xiang's men and prepared to oppose Liu Xiang, but the matter was revealed, and the 450,000 yuan that Liu Wenhui had accepted bribes was gone, and Liu Wenhui cut off Liu Xiang's material supply in one breath.
In 1932, sichuan had the largest warlord melee since the Republic of China, that is, the Battle of Erliu, in addition to Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui, all other warlords in Sichuan were also involved, Liu Xiang gained the support of old Jiang, united with other warlords in Sichuan, and finally disintegrated Liu Wenhui's subordinates through differentiation, which eventually led to Liu Wenhui's defeat.
After defeating Liu Wenhui, Liu Xiang became a veritable king of Sichuan, which was the contradiction between Liu Wenhui and Liu Xiang.
When the ranking officials see this, they may think that this has anything to do with Liu Wencai in the title, whether it is an answer to the question, this is to talk about Liu Wencai, Liu Wencai is not only Liu Wenhui's brother, but also a landlord bully with more influence in Sichuan, who has always been publicized as a big landlord who does nothing evil and is a typical representative of the landlord class in the old society.
It is said that during the Second Liu War, Liu Wencai sent assassins to Chongqing to assassinate Liu Xiang, and after Liu Wenhui's army was defeated, Liu Wencai did not participate in politics and honestly became a big landlord.
In fact, Liu Wencai has always had certain contacts with the Sichuan gangster force Brother Robe Organization, if it is said that Liu Wencai used brother Robe's forces to assassinate Liu Xiang, it is not impossible, but most of the warlord melee in the Republic of China period was that people left a line in front of them, and they would not die at all, so it is likely that the matter of Liu Wencai assassinating Liu Xiang was fabricated by people.
If Liu Wencai died against Liu Xiang, it is estimated that after Liu Xiang defeated Liu Wenhui, he would not let Liu Wencai be a big landlord in peace and stability.
