Before Liu Xiangxian's mountain dew, Xiong Kewu had been famous for a long time, and the history of the Sichuan Army was also about to start from this person.
The word "wu" in Xiong Kewu's name inadvertently reveals the extremely anxious mood of an ancient people: it was once known for its civilization, but under the cruel reality of the weak and the strong, it also had to embark on the road of self-improvement by force.
After the signing of the Xinugu Treaty, a famous cartoon appeared in the Chinese folk, showing jackals, wolves, tigers and leopards all pounced on them, and the vast eastern country looked like it would be torn to pieces. At this time, even the most conservative people realized that they could not change without change, so the tide of change surged forward, and soon countless young people, including Xiong Kewu, were involved.
The Xiong family once hoped that Xiong Kewu would inherit his father's business and be an honest and duty-bound Chinese medicine doctor, but Xiong Kewu obviously already had his own ideas. In his view, it is better to heal people than to heal the country, and it is better to talk about literature than to discuss martial arts, and only by throwing oneself into the pen and arming oneself with advanced foreign military technology can we resist invasion.
The direction has been set, and what young people need is an opportunity to learn military in Japan.
Speaking of which, China and Japan were actually the first to take Europe and the United States as teachers, but the gap between the two students in terms of grades became wider and wider, and in the Sino-Japanese War, Japan, which was once inconspicuous, actually came to the top, surpassing China, which was once brilliant. The person who hurts you the most may be the most capable person, and Chinese very much want to know what kind of success secret this small country in Dongying has. In order to find the answer, Japan has officially replaced Europe and the United States since then, becoming the first benchmark for China to learn from overseas experience.
There are two ways to study in Japan: public and self-funded. Of course, public funds are good, but the problem is that the threshold must be in the country is an excellent student, Xiong Kewu can not meet this standard, so the only thing left for him is self-payment. However, self-payment requires a lot of money, if this line is drawn, the Xiong family with ordinary economic conditions will have to dry their eyes, fortunately, Xiong Kewu's uncle is in business, and can earn hundreds of taels of silver every year, enough to provide for his nephew's tuition.
With the support of his uncle, in the winter of 1903, Xiong Kewu set out for Japan. The sails of life have been raised, and the realization of the beautiful ideal of "mastering the art of mastering the art to control the yi" seems to be just around the corner, but what is unexpected is that its trajectory has changed in the middle of the way.
Xiong Kewu wanted to learn martial arts, but according to the Qing government's regulations, only publicly-funded students could be escorted to the Japanese government-run military academy, which is widely known as the Zhenwu School. Xiong Kewu's luck was good, and when he came to Japan, he already had a new choice, that is, to study at the Dongbin Academy, a private Military Academy in Japan.
At that time, the revolutionary party, which had no foothold in The country was actively active in Japan, and through the propaganda and mobilization of the revolutionaries, the revolutionary trend of thought spread rapidly among students studying in Japan. One day, Xiong Kewu heard the news that excited him: Sun Yat-sen, the leader of the revolutionary party, had come to Tokyo.
That's great! Xiong Kewu inquired everywhere and found Sun Yat-sen's temporary residence.
