During the Republic of China, there was such a person, he seemed to be very famous, and he seemed to be nameless, he was Jiang Baili.
Many celebrities have a relationship with Jiang Baili, Liang Qichao is his teacher, Yuan Shikai is his matchmaker with his wife, Xu Zhimo is his wife and nephew, Cai Ye is his classmate, and the famous scientist Qian Xuesen is his son-in-law.
His own experience is also very legendary, Jiang Baili has never been on the battlefield in his life, but after his death, he was posthumously awarded the rank of army general, and the "Theory of National Defense" he wrote has a very important impact on China's modern revolution.
Jiang Baili was born in a family of scholars, and his grandfather had a collection of 100,000 books, so when the other children were still learning the most basic knowledge, he had already begun to read books such as "The Collection of Putian Zhong and Indignation".
After reading these books, Jiang Baili deeply felt that the weak motherland needed to be built, and he needed to go outside to learn relevant knowledge to protect his motherland.
And Jiang Baili is indeed talented, when he was only sixteen years old, he had already been admitted to Xiucai, in feudal society, it is difficult to obtain fame, not to mention that Jiang Baili is still so young.
It is precisely because Jiang Baili is smart that many people were very optimistic about him at that time, and when Jiang Baili was nineteen years old, the three of them funded Jiang Baili to study in Japan.
The school where Jiang Baili studied in Japan is the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, which has cultivated many generals for Japan.
It is said that when Jiang Baili graduated from this school, he crushed several Japanese classmates with the first place and also won the emperor's saber, which made the Japanese side somewhat broken the defense, because in the Japanese school, the first place turned out to be a Chinese.
Later, the results of the Japanese and Chinese in this school were counted separately, and as for why it was said, it was because there were contradictions in different literatures.
During his studies in Japan, Jiang Baili also founded the magazine "Zhejiang Chao" with his friends, and after the magazine was founded, it quickly became popular in China, and it was at this time that Jiang Baili and Liang Qichao, who was in Japan at that time, got acquainted.
After getting along, the two felt very compatible, so Jiang Baili worshipped Liang Qichao as his master, and in 1905, Jiang Baili graduated successfully and successfully returned to China.
Jiang Baili, who returned to China, did not stop his pace, and began to prepare for the construction of a new army in 1906, when Zhao Erxun found that Jiang Baili was indeed a genius, so he recommended Jiang Baili to his superiors, and Jiang Baili was able to take advantage of this opportunity to go to Germany to continue his studies.
During the four years of studying in Germany, Jiang Baili gained a lot, and later he became the commander of the Kyoto Praetorian Guard, which belonged to the official position of Zheng Erpin at that time.
At that time, Jiang Baili did not even reach the year of establishment, and after the establishment of the Republic of China, Jiang Baili became the military senator next to Yuan Shikai.
Because Jiang Baili is really embroidery, so Yuan Shikai let Jiang Baili serve as the principal of the Baoding Army Military Academy, Jiang Baili at that time was full of ambition and vowed to make this school the most powerful school and cultivate more talents.
After Jiang Baili became the principal of this school, he began to carry out a large-scale reform of this school, but this reform made some conservatives a little dissatisfied, so they found various reasons to start cutting the school's funding.
Jiang Baili was also well aware of this problem, and he began to find relevant personnel to communicate, but there was no way, which made him feel very annoyed, and he felt that those students were working hard.
Those students did what he had set up, but he didn't do what he promised them, so he wanted to find an extreme way to find a way out.
In 1913, Jiang Baili raised his pistol and shot himself, but fortunately, the orderly soldiers around him reacted quickly and pulled a hand, which was this move that made Jiang Baili and death pass by.
In order to make up for it, Chiang Kai-shek hurriedly found the best doctors and nurses in Japan to treat Jiang Baili, and it was at this time that Jiang Baili met his future wife, Jiang Zuomei.
Jiang Zuomei is a Japanese nurse, formerly known as Sato Nobuya, when taking care of Jiang Baili, she often comforts Jiang Baili, she said that it is not easy for the country to cultivate a talent like Jiang Baili, and if Jiang Baili dies like this, it will be a loss for the whole country.
After hearing what Sato Nobuya said, Jiang Baili also gave up the idea of committing suicide, and at the same time, Sato Nobuya also walked into Jiang Baili's heart.
Later, Jiang Baili launched a passionate pursuit of Sato Nobuya, and at first the people around Sato Nobuya were not very optimistic about Jiang Baili and Sato Nobuya, but Jiang Baili's heart was really sincere, so Sato Nobuya and Jiang Baili got married in Tianjin.
Because Jiang Baili likes plum blossoms, Jiang Baili gave his wife the name Jiang Zuomei after marriage, and their married life is also very harmonious.
Jiang Zuomei also gave birth to five golden flowers for Jiang Baili, and the five daughters received a good education when they were young, and the third daughter Jiang Ying married Qian Xuesen.
Jiang Baili continued his career, and he wrote articles such as "Sun Tzu's New Interpretation" and "Sun Tzu", and in 1937, Jiang Baili wrote "On National Defense".
As soon as "On National Defense" was published, it quickly caused a sensation, because in this work, Jiang Baili gave a detailed account of how to fight against Japan.
It is written in the book that China is not afraid that the Japanese will swallow too much at once, but it is afraid that the other party will encroach little by little, but the Chinese always have a way.
The book also mentions the exchange of space for time, which is simply to delay time, and the longer the fight, the better it will be for the mainland.
However, a year after writing this book, Jiang Baili died of a heart attack, and after Jiang Baili's death, Jiang Zuomei was faced with a choice, that is, to return to Japan or stay in China.
Jiang Zuomei did not hesitate, resolutely stayed in China, although she was born in Japan, but she believed that Japan's war of aggression was wrong, and she never taught Japanese to her children.
Even her own contact with the Japanese side began to gradually become estranged, and as a nurse, she even took the initiative to go to the battlefield to treat the wounded Chinese.
Jiang Zuomei proved with her own actions that she was a member of China, and in 1978, Jiang Zuomei died of illness, and her tombstone was written by her Chinese name - Jiang Zuomei.
