Okamura Ningji, when watching anti-Japanese film and television works, can often see this person. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Okamura served as the supreme commander of North China, and it caused great harm to the whole of North China. After that, as commander-in-chief, it can be said that his hands are stained with the blood of our people. However, what everyone does not know is that during the Republic of China, there were four people who were his students, and these four people had a very great influence. Three of them were great warlords and one was a confidant of Chiang Kai-shek.
In 1904, Okamura graduated from the Army Noncommissioned Officer School. Three years later, in 1907, he returned to the place and became captain. However, he was the lieutenant district captain of the Chinese student team at the time. Because there were more Qing Dynasty students studying in Japan at that time, Japan set up a special school for Qing Dynasty students to study. Okamura served as the captain for a total of three years, bringing a total of 156 international students. Four of these international students are prominent figures in the Republic of China, and they have influenced the entire Republic of China.
First, let's look at He Yingqin. In 1909, He Yingqin went to Japan to study, and Okamura Ninji was the captain at that time. He Yingqin joined the League while in Japan. Later, he served in Guizhou, Yunnan and other places. After that, he went to the Whampoa Military Academy and was heavily used because of Chiang Kai-shek. After the Northern Expedition, He Yingqin served as a member of the National Government and chairman of the Zhejiang Provincial Government. In 1934, he was awarded the rank of General of the First Class of the Army. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Theater, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army in the Chinese Theater. It can be said that it has always been the image of the second in command. After Chiang Kai-shek's defeat in Taiwan, He Yingqin also became an idle post. However, when he was in power, he could lose the impact on the Republic of China.
Look at Yan Xishan again. In 1903, Yan Xishan went to Japan to study, and it was not until 1909 that Yan Xishan returned from Japan. So when Okamura was in Japan, he studied there. After the Wuchang Uprising, he revolted in Shanxi, killing Lu Zhongqi, the governor of Shanxi, and establishing a military government, while Yan Xishan became the governor of Shanxi. After that, he wandered between Yuan Shikai and Sun Yat-sen, and eventually preserved his strength. Later, in the whole Republic of China, Yan Xishan can be said to have been wandering left and right. But no matter who was in power, Shanxi was always under his control. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese occupied parts of Shanxi. However, after the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he immediately returned to Shanxi and successfully seized power in Shanxi. When Chiang Kai-shek was defeated and retreated to Taiwan, he followed Chiang Kai-shek to Taiwan. However, because of the failure to seize power, he has always been a false position in his later years.
There is also Sun Chuanfang. Sun chuanfang graduated from Japan in 1908, his second year as captain. During the Qing Dynasty, Sun Chuanfang was the commander, regimental commander, brigade commander and other positions of Beiyang Army Battalion, and it can be said that he had a heavy army. In 1925, Sun Chuanfang raised troops to expel the warlord forces in Suwan and other places, and in November of the same year, he announced the establishment of a coalition army of Zhejiang, Fujian, Suzhou, Anhui and Gansu provinces in Nanjing, and served as the commander-in-chief of the five provinces. It was precisely because of this that during the Northern Expedition, he was one of the three main warlords of the crusade. After the Northern Expedition, his strength gradually weakened. After the September 18 Incident, he began to settle in Tianjin. Okamura had tried to woo him many times, but had been refused. However, he was stabbed to death in 1935.
Finally, take a look at Li Liejun. In 1908, Li Liejun returned from studying in Japan, and the time to see the time was sun Chuanfang. After the Wuchang Uprising, under the arrangement of Li Liejun, the Beiyang warships were forced to declare an uprising, and they were also promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Jiangxi Navy and Army. Later, due to the strict restraint of his subordinates, he became the governor of Jiangxi. When Yuan Shikai was proclaimed emperor, Li Liejun opposed Yuan Shikai's claim to the throne. After many revolutions led by Sun Yat-sen, Li Liejun cooperated and participated. It can be said that among all the warlords, he is more supportive of Sun Yat-sen. After Sun Yat-sen's death, he began to oppose the Kuomintang. After the victory of the Northern Expedition, he was transferred out of Jiangxi. He then assumed a fictitious position in 1928. After the September 18 Incident, he repeatedly demanded resistance against Japan. He died in 1946.
In general, these four people are all prominent figures in the history of the Republic of China. But many people did not expect that they were all students of Ninji Okamura.
