After Yuan Shikai's death, as long as there were hundreds of guns in his hand and people who could control several small counties and towns, they could be called warlords. In the early years of the Republic of China, some of them were the leaders of the Beiyang New Army, and some were the leaders of the local new army, and after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, they transformed into officials (warlords) of the Republic of China, in order to compete for territory and power, they often attacked each other, and warlords were very frequent.
However, when it comes to which place warlords are the most frequent, Sichuan recognizes the second, and no other place dares to recognize the first. In the early years of the Republic of China, when Liu Xiang, Yang Sen and other Sichuan warlords had not yet made their mark, Wang Lingji, who was born in Leshan, returned from studying in Japan, and because he stayed in the ocean and attended military schools, he soon became one of the early warlords in Sichuan.
When visiting the Qinglou once, he fell in love with a young and beautiful girl, but Chiang Kai-shek, who was not well known at the time, took a step earlier in looking at this girl, and the two people did not give in to each other, and Wang Lingji went up and gave Chiang Kai-shek two slaps, and due to the disparity in strength between the two at that time, Chiang Kai-shek could only break his teeth and swallow into his stomach. Wang Lingji became the only warlord who had slapped Chiang Kai-shek, so what was the final result of Wang Lingji's subsequent events?
In the "Patriotic War", because Wang Lingji was a loyal follower of Yuan Shikai, after Yuan Shikai's death, Wang Lingji was also unlucky, and the army he had worked so hard to pull up was eaten up by the revolutionary army, and he became the commander of the light pole, and had no choice but to defect to his former student Liu Xiang, and under Wang Lingji's planning, Liu Xiang soon unified Sichuan.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang Lingji could not bear the loneliness, and he forced more than a dozen security regiments to form the 30th Group Army of the Sichuan Army to fight the War of Resistance in Sichuan. Although it was not as brilliant as the achievements of other Sichuan troops, it was also passable, and at the same time, he was appointed deputy commander of the Ninth Theater by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, who had slapped him, and was promoted to lieutenant general plus the rank of general.
During the Liberation War, Wang Lingji was appointed chairman of Jiangxi Province, chairman of Sichuan Province, commander of Sichuan Security, and promoted to the rank of second-class general, becoming the vanguard of Chiang Kai-shek's anti-communism. Later, Liu Deng's army marched into the southwest, and the nationalist army entrenched in the southwest soon collapsed, and Wang Lingji's troops were no exception. After Wang Lingji became the commander of the light pole, he did not have the idea of standing on the side of the masses of the people, he refused to surrender, and disguised himself as a beggar to escape, and finally he was captured by our army, and he became a real general among the Kuomintang prisoners.
After Wang Lingji was captured, he was imprisoned in the "Gongdelin" in Beijing, and at first he could not change the anti-communist problems in his mind and did not cooperate with the guards' active reform, so he was not granted amnesty until 1964 to restore his freedom, but unfortunately he died of illness in Beijing within a few years, and later his ashes were brought to the United States by his daughter.
