Among the generals of the Sichuan Army, Liu Xiang, Liu Wenhui, Deng Xihou, Yang Sen, Wang Lingji, Wang Zanxu, Sun Zhen and other sichuan army bigwigs, in fact, in addition to the above, among the sichuan army generals, there are two sichuan army generals who are the oldest, dayi, like the above are mixed with them, they are Xiong Kewu and Liu Cunhou, two sichuan army big men.
Today, Xiao Xiong will introduce you to the "General Liu Cunhou" of these two, and see what kind of legendary stories this early warlord of the Sichuan Army has, and why he was disarmed and returned to the field because of a defeat.
Liu Cunhou Zi Jizhi, Sichuan Jianzhou people, born in a merchant family, parents are a local salt merchant, the family conditions should be quite good, so Liu Cunhou received a good education from childhood, his father originally wanted him to inherit the family, but Liu Cunhou loved to dance knives and guns from childhood, and was not interested in business at all, so when he grew up, he was admitted to the Martial Arts Academy, and then because of his outstanding achievements, he was sent by the Qing court to study at the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School, and it is interesting that this group of people sent out by the Qing Dynasty to study is: This group of people sent out by the Qing Dynasty to study, After returning to China, he overthrew the Qing court. At that time, Liu Cunhou was incorporated into the sixth infantry section, and many celebrities were produced in this period, such as Sun Chuanfang, Yan Xishan, Tang Jiyao and others who were later famous and classmates of Liu Cunhou.
After returning to China in 1980, he was introduced by Li Jingxi, the governor of Yunnan Guizhou, to the Yunnan Army Daowutang as a tactical instructor, and cultivated countless outstanding soldiers for the Tangwutang, but soon after Liu Cunhou was influenced by Li Gen, Luo Peijin and others to join the League. After the success of the Wuchang Uprising, Cai Yi in Yunnan launched the Chongjiu Uprising, which was when Liu Cunhou served as the first head of the general staff of the rebel army, and later Cai Yi sent Liu Cunhou into Sichuan to support the revolutionary movement in Sichuan and put him under the governor of Sichuan, Yin Changheng.
At that time, Sichuan was more chaotic, and the forces of all sides rose up, some supporting Yuan Shikai and some supporting Mr. Zhongshan, so Sichuanzhong carried out a long-term scuffle, and finally two Sichuan army bigwigs stood out, they were Liu Chenghou and Xiong Kewu, at that time Liu was supportive of Yuan Shikai, and Xiong Kewu belonged to the revolutionary faction, and in the fierce battle between these two big men, it finally ended with Liu Cunhou's victory.
But not long after, Yuan Shikai was called emperor, at this time was opposed by warlords all over the country, so they all crusaded, so they called this war a patriotic war, liu Cunhou, who originally supported Yuan Shikai, also stood on the side of the defending army, to know that the Dian army led by Cai Yi was the main force at that time, so after Yuan Shikai's death, Cai Yi let the dian army general Luo Peijin serve as the governor of Sichuan, and let The Qian army's Dai Jie serve as the governor, so that the whole of Sichuan became someone else's, which made the sichuan army general very annoyed, so Liu Cunhou and Xiong Kewu reached an agreement to jointly deal with foreign enemies. Say: Chuanzhong must be governed by the Sichuan people. In the end, with the concerted efforts of the sichuan generals, the Dian army was driven away, so Xiong Kewu became the governor of the province and Liu Cunhou became the overseer.
But later these two Sichuan army leaders were later ousted by Liu Xiang, but Liu Cunhou was still one of the important generals of the Sichuan Army, however, he was later appointed by Chiang Kai-shek as the commander of the 23rd Army, but it was also this appointment that ended his military career, in 1933 Chiang Kai-shek made him the sixth commander-in-chief of the Suppression of the Red Army, but found the blow of Xu Shuai, the commander-in-chief of the Red Fourth Front, and defeated Yang Sen, Liu Cunhou's troops, and even more tragically, Liu Cunhou's troops suffered heavy losses, and Xuanhan. Wanyuan was occupied by the Red Fourth Front, which made Chiang Kai-shek very angry, so he removed Liu Cunhou from all his posts, and it was because of this defeat of Liu Cunhou that he was disarmed and returned to the field, and lived a peaceful life from then on, until he fled Sichuan in 1949 with the help of his old classmate Yan Xishan, until his death in 1965.
