Yuan Shikai also attached great importance to Jiang Baili, after the founding of the Republic of China, he stole the fruits of the revolution to become president, and immediately invited Jiang Baili to be a first-class military senator in the presidential palace, and at the end of 1912, Jiang Baili was appointed by Yuan Shikai as the principal of the Baoding Military Academy.
In modern times, there are two military academies in China that can be described as far-reaching, one is the Baoding Military Academy, and the other is the Huangpu Military Academy.
However, in history, we must not neglect the position of the Baoding Military Academy in modern history; Chiang Kai-shek, Bai Chongxi, Zhang Zhizhong, and others of the Kuomintang all graduated from the Baoding Military Academy; Ye Ting, the first commander-in-chief of our party and the first commander of the New Fourth Army, also graduated from the Baoding Military Academy.
Jiang Baili was able to become the principal of the Baoding Military Academy, which shows that his ability is very great.
In 1913, in order to implement his own plan to run the school, Jiang Baili asked the War Department for military expenses, which was rejected by the War Department.
Fortunately, the people next to him were quick and quick, and took away the gun in his hand, at this time the bullet had already shot out and hit Jiang Baili's body, fortunately, this bullet did not hit his key point.

After a long time, Jiang Baili found himself in love with Sato Yaden, but he never confessed, and soon, Sato Yaden returned to Japan, at that time, Jiang Baili regretted it very much, he did not want to miss this fate, he flew to Japan to pursue Sato Yaden.
Sato Yadeng originally did not intend to marry Chinese, but Jiang Baili was obsessed with wanting to pursue her, Sato Yadeng's parents did not agree to their daughter marrying into China, but could not withstand Jiang Baili's pursuit, Sato Yaden insisted on deciding to marry Jiang Baili.
In 1914, they were married at the German Hotel in Tianjin.
Jiang Baili gave his wife Sato Yaden a Chinese name, and because he loved plum blossoms, he named his wife "Jiang Zuomei"
During the New Culture Movement, Jiang Baili became Liang Qichao's "think tank", he not only came up with ideas, but also wrote books and became a cadre of the New Culture Movement, at this time, Jiang Baili also got acquainted with many names in the cultural circles, such as Xu Zhimo, Zheng Zhenduo, Mao Dun, Hu Shi and others.

A year later, Jiang Baili went to Japan to investigate, and a Japanese classmate once said to him: "Your northeast is sparsely populated, the rich source is hidden in the land, and Japan has a large population, so we cannot but seek a way out." ”
When Jiang Baili heard this, he became angry and immediately shouted: "Then you are forcibly occupying it, and what kind of grandiose theory will you talk about!" ”
After returning to China, Jiang Baili believed that there would be a war between China and Japan, and he began to call on the domestic government to prepare for war, during which time Jiang Baili wrote his most important military work", "On National Defense".
In 1938, Jiang Baili was appointed by Chiang Kai-shek as the president of the Army University, and later when the school was relocated, Jiang Baili unfortunately died of a sudden heart attack, and this year, Jiang Baili was 56 years old.
After Jiang Baili's death, the Nationalist government posthumously honored him as a general.
At that time, China and Japan were at war, Jiang Baili's Japanese wife Jiang Zuomei was slandered by many people, Jiang Zuomei did not defend, but took his daughters, in the street to comfort the Chinese anti-war soldiers, collect donations for them, her behavior, slapped those who have ulterior motives.
It is worth mentioning that between Jiang Zuomei and Jiang Baili, five daughters were born, and one of the daughters, now very famous, is the third daughter Jiang Ying.
When Jiang Baili and Qian Junfu were teenagers, they were classmates of Hangzhou Qiushi Academy, and after graduation, they went to Japan to study together, and they formed a deep friendship, and later Qian Junfu wanted a daughter, and Jiang Baili gave his daughter to the Qian family.
A few days later, Jiang Zuomei really missed her daughter and took her back, but what made people happy was that this daughter, later married to Qian Junfu's son, Qian Junfu's son, was a famous scientist, Qian Xuesen.
