This man was thin and small, with a crooked mouth and oblique eyes, but he became the commander-in-chief of the North China Army and the third-ranked traitor
In the impression of all of us, men who can serve as generals are generally very burly and domineering. In many film and television works, we will listen to a phrase that we often hear: offending the general's tiger power. But the general introduced to you today, he is not only thin, but also has a crooked mouth and eyes, but he is the commander-in-chief of the North China Army, and his name is Qi Xieyuan.
Historically, there was a very famous military school called the Baoding Army Officer School, from which many senior Communist and Kuomintang generals came. When he was young, Qi Xieyuan's biggest dream was to apply for this school. Qi Xieyuan was a talented man with both literary and martial skills, but because of his small stature and oblique mouth, he wanted to be admitted to the Baoding Army Officer School with difficulty comparable to ascending to the heavens. Even so, Qi Xieyuan still came to take the admission examination of the Baoding Army Officer School.
The first level of the text test Qi Xieyuan passed very easily, and the second level was to examine the appearance of the students. Although you are not required to look good and gentle, at least you must not look too crooked. The instructor in charge of checking the student's appearance was surnamed Yang, and Instructor Yang's heart twitched after seeing Qi Xieyuan. This student, who was so good in the essay exam, turned out to be dark and small, and his mouth was crooked and his eyes were crooked.
Qi Xieyuan knew what Instructor Yang had in mind, so he took the initiative to say to Instructor Yang: Although the student is black and thin, he is as ambitious as a bird. And the students, despite their crooked mouths and slanted eyes, could see farther than anyone else. Instructor Yang didn't speak after listening to Qi Xieyuan's words, just nodded and turned around and left. In the end, Qi Xieyuan actually successfully entered the artillery section of the Baoding Army Officer School, and the reason why Qi Xieyuan was successfully admitted to the school was that in addition to the words he spoke with Instructor Yang with different repercussions, the most crucial point was that this Instructor Yang was Qi Xieyuan's hometown.
Being able to enter the Baoding Army Officer School was not easy for Qi Xieyuan. After graduating from the military academy, he did not cherish this once rare opportunity; he neither joined the Kuomintang Chiang Kai-shek's command nor joined the troops of our Communist Party, he became a traitor! To be fair, Qi Xieyuan was a very powerful general, and the achievements he had achieved in leading the traitorous troops in the Wang puppet government were very great. By 1940, Qi Xieyuan had been appointed by Wang Jingwei as the commander-in-chief of the Jin Sui Army in North China.
If Instructor Yang, who had admitted him to the Baoding Army Officer School, knew that this person had become the third most traitor in the entire modern history of China, would he have regretted his choice in the first place?
