Nie Shicheng
Nie Shicheng, Zigongting, a native of Hefei, Anhui.
The earliest was to accompany Yuan Jiasan to conquer the Twist Army and give him the title of Commander-in-Chief. In the early years of tongzhi, it was transferred to the Huai army, and followed Liu Mingchuan to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Anhui and other provinces, and became a deputy general. Before the Sino-Japanese War, there were many military achievements.
For example, the conquest of the Eastern Twister Army, the pacification of the Western Twister Army. During the Sino-French War, the French occupied Keelung, and Nie Shicheng led his army to cross the sea and defeated the French army many times. There are also pingding Chaoyang sect bandits, killing the leader of the sect bandits Yang Yuechun, rewarding the yellow horse coat, and Yi Zhiyong's number "Batulon'a". (Previously given the title "Li Yong Batulu")
In 1892, it was awarded to the commander-in-chief of Taiyuan Town, Shanxi, but the man remained in Lutai to lead the troops.
During the Sino-Japanese War, Nie Shicheng was subordinate to Ye Zhichao.
However, before the bandit rebellion occurred in the Chaoyang of Rehe River, Nie Shicheng and Ye Zhichao went to quell the bandit chaos together, both of them were admirals, although this time Nie Shicheng's credit was greater than Ye Zhichao's, but Ye Zhichao took the credit, Ye Zhichao became Nie Shicheng's superior.

In the Battle of Jia-Wu, the Japanese combined fleet suddenly attacked the Beiyang Marine Division in the waters off Toshima, North Korea, and then sank the transport ship Gaosheng, and the Qing army was defeated.
At that time, Nie Shicheng and Ye Zhichao were garrisoning Asan, and when the news of the defeat came, Nie Shicheng advised Ye Zhichao: "The sea road has been blocked, and Asan can no longer be defended." Gongzhou is backed by mountains and sea, and has geographical advantages. ”
Ye Zhichao followed Nie Shicheng's advice. He ordered Nie Shicheng to first move to Chenghuan (a Korean place name) and lead his army to Gongzhou.
Unexpectedly, they encountered the Japanese ambush in the middle of the way, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle, but they could not recognize the road, and the faces of the soldiers and pawns were frightened. Nie Shicheng saw two white cranes standing quietly on the hill, and quickly pointed to the white crane and told his subordinates, "There are no ambush soldiers in that place!" ”
He broke through from there and went to meet Ye Zhichao.
Who knows, Ye Zhichao gave up Gongzhou and ran away, and Nie Shicheng's department caught up with Ye Zhichao.
Nie Shicheng suggested that the army go to Pyongyang to meet the Qing army, but Li Hongzhang sent an order to retreat, and Pyongyang was subsequently captured by the Japanese army.
Afterwards, Ye Zhichao was arrested and questioned by the imperial court for abandoning his position.
Yalu River Broken Bridge
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" Data-track="77" >02 Battle of the Watershed</h1>
The Qing army thus retreated to China on the north bank of the Yalu River, and all the Qing army was temporarily under the command of Song Qing. The Yalu River Defense Campaign was thus launched, and the defensive line was divided into three sections: central, eastern, and western, with the area around Jiulian City as the main defensive position. Troops were deployed in a front line, and Nie Shicheng was sent to defend Tiger Mountain.
Not long after, Liu Mingchuan's troops were defeated, and the rest of the armies also collapsed, and Nie Shicheng resolutely resisted, but the Japanese army gathered and pressed down, and finally fell outnumbered and retreated to Dagaoling.
At that time, Liaoxi was also in danger, and Nie Shicheng requested that a strange army be sent around the back of the Japanese army to cut off their transportation channels, but these commanders did not follow his advice. Nie Shicheng had no choice but to lead a troop to camp near Xueli Station.
Chinese New Year's Eve night, Nie Shicheng set up wine to entertain the soldiers, and pre-arranged an ambush to wait for the Japanese devils, who indeed came to sneak attack. Nie Shicheng defeated the Japanese army at the watershed and beheaded the Japanese general Fu Gang Sanzao.
The imperial court issued a decree of praise and encouragement, and awarded the post of directly subordinate viceroy. After the Sino-Japanese War, the two countries negotiated peace. Nie Shicheng's army was still stationed in Lutai.
Yuan Shikai
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="78" >03 to train the new army</h1>
Beiyang founded the Wuwei Army, the thirty battalions of soldiers under the command of Nie Shicheng were changed to the former army, and the other Wuwei army also had three commanders, Song Qing, Dong Fuxiang, and Yuan Shikai. Song Qing and Dong Fuxiang still adopted the old training method, Yuan Shikai imitated the Japanese training method, and Nie Shicheng's new army adopted the semi-German training method.
Nie Shi became the fighting force of the new army, actively recruiting strong men, requiring soldiers to train every day, and himself eating and eating with the soldiers.
Nie Shicheng anticipated that in the future in the three northeastern provinces, there might be a war with Japan, so he specially led soldiers to investigate the terrain, draw up topographic maps in detail, analyze, study, and prepare, thinking that if a war broke out, it would be useful and serve the country.
Someone once visited Nie Shicheng's barracks and saw that Nie Shicheng's new army was "like the Great Wall, with strict barriers." Nie Shicheng asked, "Can I fight a war?" ”
The man replied, "I am afraid that the state of these soldiers is the kind of wooden chicken that Zhuangzi said, a person who can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the state." ”
Nie Shicheng was also full of expectations, as he said, that he wanted to fight against Japan and shame the country in order to invigorate the country's prestige.
Taku Kou Fort
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="79" >04 To suppress the Boxers</h1>
In the early spring of 1900, the Boxer Rebellion in the north arose, and there were boxers everywhere burning houses to rob the people of their belongings, Nie Shicheng was serving in Tianjin at the time, and immediately arranged for the army to go to the battle. The Boxers scattered and instead gathered and flowed to Beijing, threatening the imperial court in the capital.
Duan Wang Zaiyi and University Scholar Gang Yi wanted to borrow the hand of the Boxers to eliminate the foreigners and fight against political enemies. However, Nie Shicheng attacked the Boxers, which would make them plan to destroy the city, so they framed Nie Shicheng, causing the imperial court to issue strict reprimands. Nie Shicheng sighed and said to his subordinates, "I have no value in dying." ”
Someone advised him to go to Baoding to avoid it, and Nie Shicheng sighed: "Death is my destiny, but this death is not what I want, and the new army that I have spent so many years training will be driven by these people, which is equivalent to pushing all these recruits into the fire pit, which is really a pity." Now that war has been declared against other countries, the first place to bear the brunt of it is Tianjin, and I have been ordered to guard this place, and as long as my eyes are not closed, I will certainly do my duty and not allow foreign troops to step into Tianjin, but can the strength of our army resist the Eight-Power Alliance? I will die, and if I die like this, I will not be blinded. ”
Why did Nie Shicheng say this?
Because at that time, the Boxers in Tianjin also often killed Soldiers of the Armed Guards. Nie Shicheng's immediate superior, Governor Yulu, feared that Nie Shicheng's soldiers would mutiny. The Qing court's internal policy toward the Boxers was also wavering, and if they were killed by the imperial court because of the suppression of bandits, Nie Shicheng would be embarrassed.
Langfang
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="80" >05 Battle of the Purple Bamboo Forest</h1>
On May 18, 1900, Dagukou was lost, and Nie Shicheng's former army was stationed in the Zizhu Forest.
The Japanese devil's troops arrived first, and Nie Shicheng defeated the Japanese army in the first battle, and the Japanese army was full of dead. The coalition forces of other countries followed suit, and Nie Shicheng and the foreign devils fought hard for nearly a day, each of them was a hundred, and the casualties on both sides were equal. Considering that Nie Shichengbu would not be easy to defeat, the Eight-Power Coalition decided to cast chlorine gas bombs.
Nie Shicheng actually already knew the final outcome of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and had warned his subordinates as early as the day before: "If our army is inevitably dead, then let me die first, you can retreat to other places, maybe you can retain some of the elite forces, and you can use them for the country in the future, don't make unnecessary sacrifices together." ”
The next day, Nie Shicheng waited in a strict position, alone to hold a bridge, the devil's coalition army attacked, Nie Shicheng struggled to slash and kill more than a dozen foreign devils, suddenly a howitzer flew over, Nie Shicheng and his mounts all exploded into ashes.
The ending was too tragic.
Nie Shicheng's exploits far exceeded those of the "three loyalists" Yuan Chang, Xu Yongyi, and Xu Jingcheng, who were commended by the imperial court, and such a good general as Nie Shicheng, who was in the storm and loyal to the martyrdom, was born at an inopportune time, and died like a worm in the pattern of the late Qing Dynasty.
After Nie Shicheng's death, the imperial court initially agreed to give mercy, but was opposed by Zai Yi, Gang Yi and others.
Later, at the request of Nie Shicheng's late Zhou Fu and others, Yuan Shikai requested a pension on Nie Shicheng's behalf, and the Qing court posthumously gave Nie Shicheng the crown prince Taibao, and gave the pension to the death of the viceroy and announced the history of the museum.
