Shi Xiaoxian was a very interesting person, but unfortunately, he could not find the style photos he left behind.
At the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chiang Kai-shek fled to Chongqing. The team that followed him was very large, coupled with the bombing of Japanese and Kosovarian fighters at that time, and people fled one after another, and Chongqing suddenly had an additional population of nearly three million.
In the war years, life was not easy, and those who had some grain storage were already well-to-do people, and the vast majority of people in this land were ordinary people who ate and were eager to lick the bowl clean. With the sudden increase in so many people, the grain supply of the whole of Chongqing was once tight, coupled with the malicious hoarding of profiteers, which triggered a soaring price.
To take a simple example, in 1937, before the War of Resistance, 100 Francs could buy a cow, in 1939 you could buy half a pig, in 1941, you could buy a chicken, but in 1943, you could only buy up to two eggs.
If the people can't live on, they will naturally come to trouble with those in power. Chiang Kai-shek was in a hurry to catch fire, scolded several "niang xipi", and slapped Xu Kan, the grain minister at the time, for this.

Xu Kan couldn't help it, his notice of grain requisition was sent one by one, but each time he requisitioned it, there were only three or five small boats, which contained tens of thousands of pounds of grain, which was no different from Xu Kan and sending for food.
Xu Kan jumped to his feet in a hurry and personally went to the countryside to sit in the county government, perhaps in an attempt to force those county elders to obey in this way--a state-level minister in my hall has already been so condescending and degraded, don't you mean that you can't live it?
However, the county officials below were also wronged, no matter what the private treasury was, the public treasury on the surface was indeed a grain. They cried bitterly: "The weather is not good, the grain harvest is poor, and there is no grain to buy in the local area." ”
Each one is bitter, each one can't do anything, and the people are increasingly complaining. This matter must always be resolved by a method, otherwise Chiang Kai-shek is afraid that he will not be able to hide in this corner now.
At this time, Chiang Kai-shek's confidant Dai Kasa proposed a method, saying that since the official road on the surface was not working, he would go to the ground snake to help him see.
The ground snake here refers to Shi Xiaoxian.

Who is Shi Xiaoxian? His father, Shi Qingyang, was a brother in a big robe. Brother Robe was a member of the "Robe Brotherhood" that was active in the Sichuan-Chongqing area at that time, and the name of this society was taken the meaning of "No Clothes, Robe with the Son", and together with the Qing Gang and Hongmen, it was the three major non-governmental gang organizations at that time.
The brothers in robes will be divided into five halls of "benevolence, righteousness, wisdom and faith", of which the leading figures are called "uncles". And Shi Qingyang is the "great master" of the Renzitang Ti'an Society.

This person is also a veteran figure of the League, and the Xinhai Revolution has made great achievements, and even when Chiang Kai-shek saw it, he had to respectfully call out "Big Brother Shi."
Shi Xiaoxian was his third son, known as "Shi San", with a long round face, long eyebrows and clear eyes, and when he was young, he was a mischievous figure, and his ability to provoke wrongdoing was first-class. Shi Qingyang married him to an evil daughter-in-law and could not control it, and was sent to the Whampoa Military Academy. But this boy still had bad habits, because the brothers were expelled because of the fights and troubles, and Shi Qingyang had no choice but to send him to Italy in one fell swoop.
Shi Xiaoxian did not feel much depressed because he was in a foreign country, still fighting and making trouble to worship his brothers, and even wanted to build a robe brother in Italy. If he hadn't suddenly returned to China, maybe this family business would have really "carried forward" him there.
Shi Xiaoxian's sudden return to China was due to his father's illness.
During the funeral, his father's old friend Fan Shaozeng (the prototype of the popular drama Ha'er Division Commander in sichuan and Chongqing) and Wang Zanxu instigated him to take over his father's robe brother business, and they supported him and helped him "tie up". At this time, tian Desheng, the brother of his father's generation, also said that he would give him tens of thousands of people under his command.
Shi Xiaoxian had aspired to be a brother in the robe since he was a child, and now the opportunity to realize his dream was close at hand, and he agreed almost without hesitation.
In the world of the robe brother, there are only three things that maintain power, loyalty, fist, and money.
The latter two Shi Xiaoxian now have, and then, he formulated a strict rudder rule that combines East and West to ensure that the first one can be effectively reflected, although nearly a hundred people were executed in just one month, but the internal affairs were soon adapted, and more people came to visit.
Later, when Mao Renfeng went to the docks to worship Shi Xiaoxian, he found that there were hundreds of thousands of brothers under him, and at that time, he was weak-hearted, and as a government representative, he even signed an agreement with Shi Xiaoxian, the boss of the society, "Mixed Organization, Mutual Training", and gave him the rank of major general.
Shi Xiaoxian was the "golden belt leather robe brother" in the robe brother society at that time.
Gold represents money, skin represents face, go to the state to eat the state, go to the county to eat the county, "do not know each other, sad to go to Magang." It is leather not skin, sad white city station. ”
It was nothing more than that Dai Kasa would be the first to think of him when he encountered such great difficulties.

Chiang Kai-shek could not do anything, and the situation was no better than that of others. At that time, he issued a decree asking Mao Renfeng to worship the dock and the low pile for this land snake, that is, to ask him to do things.
Hearing this, Shi Xiaoxian crossed his hands at his waist, his eyes were up, and no one said in his eyes: "Why don't you hand the hand, don't look!" How much grain you want, first allocate funds, and it is enough for me to send a piece of film. ”
Chiang Kai-shek gave the money.
Within three days, rice from dozens of counties around Jiangsu, Ba, Bibi, and He was continuously transported from land and water to Chongqing, and the brothers of the prefectures and counties shouted along the way: "I don't recognize the Heavenly King LaoZi, only serve Uncle Shi." ”
No matter what Chiang Kai-shek did, he also reacted at this time, before it was Shi Xiaoxian who was tripping him up. The person was that he hadn't gone to say hello beforehand, and such a big brother and uncle were there, and he just wanted to go around this one to do things, and he simply didn't know each other.
But if you want to understand it, even if Chiang Kai-shek hates it with itchy teeth, he can't move Shi Xiaoxian at all now. The strong dragon could not suppress the earth snake, such a simple truth he still understood.
If the matter ends like this, perhaps with the passage of time, Chiang Kai-shek will slowly forget such a diaphragm. However, Shi Xiaoxian's identity as the eldest brother, coupled with his consistent high-profile style, doomed this matter not to pass so silently.
When the grain was transported back, Shi Xiaoxian did not obediently put them in the government, but put up the sign of "Chongqing People's Food Supply Office" in Xiaoshiziping Copper Street, opened up the cheap grain supply, and caused a sensation throughout Chongqing.
The people rejoiced and praised the man's benevolence.

Zhang Qun, the military and political leader of the southwest at that time and also a confidant of Chiang Kai-shek, wrote three poems for this purpose and handed them to Shi Xiaoxian, trying to persuade him to restrain himself, one of which was: "Shi Shengzhi has a middle dragon, and the young will is proud and heroic." Scolding his teachers and friends with Yu II is like giving in to a gentleman's style. ”
The first time Shi Xiaoxian received the poem, he didn't read it, so he took it and slapped his ass.
There is a kind of pride and madness in his bones, which is also one of the internal factors that his brother's career has been so successful.
Zhang Qun was so angry that Chiang Kai-shek's side was naturally not happy, and the incident of Shi Xiaoxian's grain requisition and grain sales was equivalent to punching him with two fierce ear scrapers in his face.
Naturally, he was not satisfied with scolding "Niang Xipi" in private, but directly acted to let the previously lurking agent take this hun boy away.

However, Chiang Kai-shek still had concerns. No matter what kind of thoughts he had, in short, when the robe brothers finally found out where Shi Xiaoxian was a few days later, this person was still alive with his arms and legs.
Although the brothers in the prefectures and counties did not protest openly, the attitude of the dignitaries did not budge. Under the pressure of dozens of prefectures and counties and hundreds of thousands of people, Chiang Kai-shek had to be jealous. However, in addition to these, many big men in Chongqing also stood up, including Yang Cangbai.
This person was the humerus of Sun Yat-sen and a great hero of the Xinhai Revolution. In addition to these identities, he was also Shi Qingyang's master, and he was recuperating in the Stone Mansion at that time.
Shi Xiao first opened a robe bank, and he was the chairman. It can be said that all of Shi Xiaoxian's business and career, behind or on the surface, have the shadow of this big guy, and the relationship between the two people is like this.
He wrote a letter to Chiang Kai-shek, saying that his children's education was good, but he would send clothes and books.
As soon as this man came forward, Chiang Kai-shek could only release people no matter how awkward they were. He walked down the steps given by Yang Cangbai and gave Shi Xiaoxian a copy of the "Zeng Wenzheng Gongjia Book" to carry, calling him to go back and study well.
Shi Xiao went through this matter first, and after returning home, he was very peaceful. However, the madness in his bones could not be extinguished, and this madness had made him and his career and would eventually destroy him.

After a long time of ease, Shi Xiaoxian had a new idea.
At this time, during the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chiang Kai-shek was preparing to return to Nanjing to open the "National Congress." The National Congress wanted to elect a number of deputies, and the position of Chongqing's deputies was determined by Chiang Kai-shek.
Zhang Dulun held Jiang Ling around giving speeches, seeing that the water had come to fruition, but halfway he killed a "stone biting gold".
Shi Xiaoxian wanted to enter politics, and he also knew that Chiang Kai-shek had already set Zhang Dulun. But brother Robe just talked about a face and let this son out, wouldn't that be equivalent to saying to his brothers that he was incompetent?
At that time, Shi Qingyang went to ask Chiang Kai-shek for the position of a military and political leader in the southwest, but was ruthlessly rejected. Shi Xiaoxian had his father's lesson first, and he was not prepared to follow Chiang Kai-shek's path at all, but planned to use his own methods to snatch what he wanted.
First of all, Shi Xiaoxian asked people to paint a huge portrait of himself that was very "positive", and then asked someone to do a campaign song. Then he called on thousands of brothers and brothers to come to Chongqing, carrying portraits and singing songs, and began a campaign march throughout the city.
The brothers were very powerful, shouting "Please vote for Uncle Shi" to the heavens, and the gongs and drums were noisy and firecrackers were fired all the way. Ordinary people along the way said that even the US presidential election was not as big as this scene.
In the end, Shi Xiaoxian won Zhang Dulun with an absolute overwhelming advantage.
Chiang Kai-shek's nose almost didn't give him a crooked breath. At this time, he already knew that Shi Xiaoxian was an untamed meat-eating tiger, and he couldn't control it, and he had to keep a bite of himself from being extremely hungry.
Maybe at this moment, or perhaps even earlier, his dove's eyes moved, and he secretly turned to the offspring who didn't know the height of the sky.

In 1949, the People's Liberation Army was in a strong position, following the capture of Nanjing and then hangzhou, directly approaching Shanghai. Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to retreat, and fled to Chongqing, trying to establish the capital Chongqing and divide the southwest.
At this time, Shi Xiaoxian may have fallen into the well, or perhaps he was aware of the general trend of the outside world and wanted to completely break away from Chiang Kai-shek. Whatever his purpose, in short, he gave Chiang Kai-shek a "demonstration to greet Chiang Kai-shek."
The parade was as loud as the campaign marches that preceded it, but the purpose was the exact opposite.
Shi Xiaoxian mobilized about 100,000 brothers in robes, let them all draw ghostly faces on their faces, shout slogans as if they were weeping and mourning, and swam over in a mighty way, sending the tone of ghosts crying wolves straight into Chiang Kai-shek's garden. Old Jiang covered his ears and scolded until his throat was broken.
On November 30, 1949, Liu Deng's army successfully liberated Chongqing, chiang kai-shek fled to Chengdu, and on the same day, Shi Xiaoxian vomited blood and died three days later.
Regarding Shi Xiaoxian's death, there are many rumors, some people say that he had lung disease earlier, and he has been panicked after the People's Liberation Army entered the city, worried that he was blamed for the 100,000-robed brother parade some time ago, and was scared to vomit blood and died.
But there are also more theories, saying that they died of poisoning.
Shi Xiaoxian dared to repeatedly jump on Chiang Kai-shek's lightning points, and promised that he would not be pinched by him, which showed that he was a bold and careful figure. It's hard to believe that such a person would be scared to death.
On the contrary, according to Chiang Kai-shek's consistent urine nature of repaying the favor, it is not impossible for him to kill the bad boy who has annoyed him for a long time before he runs away forever. Coupled with the excessively coincidental time, the fog of the truth of Shi Xiaoxian's death was faintly revealed.
But in any case, it is an established fact that the Slovaks have passed away. Until now, when talking about the cause of death of this fan, they will still think of his heroism when he put grain at the waist of Xiaoshizi, and his courage to fight with Chiang Kai-shek.
He had lived so wonderfully in this land.

Watching him rise up the Zhu Lou, watching him entertain guests, watching him collapse the building.
Shi Xiaoxian's life was very lively; he opened the first Paoge Bank, and on the day of its opening, the area around Xiaoshizi, Huixianqiao, and Duyou Street were full of people, and the rows of people who sent flower baskets were long dragons, and they had the arrogance of spending money like flowing water; he requisitioned grain that even Chiang Kai-shek could not requisition, and distributed the grain at a fair price, which was a chivalrous righteousness to help the poor and the poor in the chaotic world; he did not pay attention to Chiang Kai-shek, who represented the mainstream power, and seized the position of the representative of his beloved general.
His rebellion, independence, willfulness and freedom blew the wild wind of the ancestors of Bashu, and then blew on Shi Xiaoxian and the group of robe brothers behind him.
But Shi Xiaoxian is not a bright hero.
Brother Robe has both "You wear red to me to wear red, everyone wears the same color, you wear black to I wear black, we are all one color." The brothers were righteous, and there were also cruel lynchings of "three knives and six eyes, find a little bit by themselves". In addition to these, Shi Xiaoxian himself also carried all the bad habits of occupying more resources in the era when that person could eat people.
And those loyal things, it is difficult to say whether he did it arbitrarily, or whether he did it after deep foresight and did a grandstanding for the development and expansion of the community below.
Maybe there are.
He carried the shadow of the old times, staying in the moment when the dawn rose. For Shi Xiaoxian, this ending cannot be accurately said to be good or bad, but for us, it is a good thing.
People in a troubled world long for chivalry.
Shi Xiaoxian and the group of robe brothers behind him were the founders and defenders of the system in that chaotic era.
There are many tea houses in the Sichuan-Chongqing area, and they are also related to Brother Pao. When people encounter unfair things, they will go to a brother in a robe to go to the tea house to reason, called "eating and talking about tea". After such an operation, the contradiction will basically be resolved, because the brother has the ability to reason, and also has the ability to supervise the implementation of the results of the reasoning afterwards.
This is also the reason why Chiang Kai-shek failed in his attempt to collect grain. Between him and the people, there was still a Shi Xiaoxian, so Shi Xiaoxian had the courage to make trouble and say the sentence: "What son does not hand, do not look!" How much grain you want, first allocate funds, and it is enough for me to send a piece of film. ”
However, such a community that relies on the condensation of brotherly righteousness and can eat well in the Sichuan-Chongqing region where personnel are scattered does not mean that it can be good on a larger platform. Shi Xiaoxian's society had a fatal weakness, and the brothers looked at the faithful Shi Xiaoxian, the great uncle, and as soon as he fell, all the condensation points of loyalty and righteousness instantly vanished.
If Shi Xiaoxian had been alive, he didn't know what earth-shattering things he could do. But letting him perish with the darkness was, in a sense, a good thing for Shi Xiaoxian himself.
