In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, as the influence of the Qing court greatly weakened, Yuan Shikai, who had actively promoted the modernization reform of the New Deal, took the lead in changing and forcing Puyi to abdicate. As soon as this matter came out, China entered an era of division. After Yuan Shikai's death, the former Beiyang forces gradually disintegrated and reorganized into the three lineages of Zhi, Anhui, and Feng, and the warlords sometimes cooperated to resist the enemy, sometimes fighting for each other, and the war continued. In this context, many warlords have disregarded the interests of the state and eventually betrayed the country, thus bringing a lot of pain to the motherland and the people. However, also in the Republic of China, Liu Xiang, the leader of the Sichuan Army, was full of righteousness!
Liu Xiangzi Fu Cheng, a native of Chengdu, Sichuan. Since his ancestors were born in martial arts, since he was a child, his grandfather tried his best to teach him horseback riding and bow techniques, so that he could practice a good martial art. However, with the gradual decline of martial arts and the abolition of martial arts examinations, he switched to the New Army and rose to the rank of officer within a few years. After the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, he sat in the position of the commander of the Third Regiment of the First Division because of his ability to unify the army and win yuan's merits. Later, he relied on the powerful Sichuan army to unify Sichuan, and played a great role in the subsequent wars.
As soon as Liu Xiang unified Sichuan, Japan wanted to infiltrate Sichuan. In the Japanese army's plan to invade China, the Japanese side believed that due to the superior location of Sichuan, if the war began, it would be unfavorable to Japanese rule, so they negotiated with Liu Xiang on the grounds of establishing an embassy. As the king of Sichuan, Liu Xiang was full of spirit at this time, naturally he could not see that the Japanese army was rampant, and at the moment he refused all cooperation from the Japanese side, even if the Japanese army came up with superior conditions, he did not waver.
The Japanese army was very angry about this, but it has been hidden. It was not until 1936, after the three eastern provinces were occupied by the army, that the Japanese army revived the idea of establishing an embassy in Sichuan to spy on intelligence. At this time, Japan was undoubtedly extremely deterrent, constantly creating incidents and threatening with force, and even the Nationalist government issued a circular order for the Japanese army to build an embassy. Liu Xiang was furious when he heard the news, and directly called back hard, and the telegram had only one meaning: there were only bullets when they came, and they were not responsible for killing them.
The flaunting Japanese army did not take it seriously at all, and directly sent four people to the Okawa Hotel on the pretext of sightseeing. Liu Xiang warned again to no avail, and hundreds of angry Sichuan people immediately rushed into the hotel and beat them to death, directly forcing the Japanese army to cancel the plan to establish an embassy. When the Japanese army was pursuing responsibility, he said: The people are patriotic, and I have no reason to stop it.
When the all-out war of aggression against China began, he was the king of Sichuan and could have sat on one side and ignored the country's life and death. However, in order to take the initiative to petition the Nationalist government for resistance, he also said the following sentence: "In the War of Resistance, Sichuan can send 300,000 troops, supply 5 million Zhuangding, and supply several tens of thousands of stones of grain!" ”
And he did not just talk about it, after this, he actively mobilized the Sichuan army to go out on a campaign to resist foreign enemies. Unfortunately, however, he died of illness shortly after his expedition. But until this time, he still had the country in mind and said: The War of Resistance to the end has always been unswerving, that is, the enemy army will not withdraw from the country for a day, and the Sichuan army will not return to its hometown for a day! ”
