<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Duan Qirui: a silver dollar at the age of 16 broke into the world, changed his life against the sky, and printed himself on the silver dollar after 30 years</h1>
After the dark period of the late Qing Dynasty, there was a different period in the land of China - the Beiyang warlords were fighting, among which Duan Qirui, the leader of the Beiyang Anhui warlords, "The Tiger of Beiyang", was a figure that could not be ignored, and he was one of the masters of the Chinese land in the decade from 1916 to 1926.
Some people say that he came from an extraordinary background so he can ride the wind, and some people say that the beginning of his life was full of suffering, but it is undeniable that his life is very hard, and not yielding is his life label!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the ancestors of good han dad can't do it, he relied on himself at the beginning of his life</h1>
Duan Qirui's ancestors were from Nanhe, Hubei Province, and his great-grandfather Duan Youjie was a fierce man, who had once held the position of Grand Master of the Qing Dynasty and General Zhenwei for his military merits, and his grandfather Duan Pei was also a general, first liu Mingchuan's subordinates, and then joined the Huai army to follow Li Hongzhang to suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, and was also awarded the titles of Ronglu Doctor and Zhenwei General for his merits. However, when Duan Qirui's father arrived, he was crooked, and his father Duan Congwen was a "unable to support Adou", and he was stunned to mix three generations into a farmer.
Therefore, duan pei, who did not look down on his son, moved to the commander of the third battalion of the horse brigade directly under the Ming Army in 1872 and took his favorite grandson Duan Qirui to the military camp in Suqian, Jiangsu Province, and arranged for him to study at a nearby private school.
This year, Duan Qirui was seven years old, at the beginning of his life enlightenment, the military camp was his world, and what he saw from childhood was a group of "straight men of steel".
It is said that at that time, Duan Qirui was not smiling, had a stable personality, and was far more interested in swords and guns than books, often bringing knives to private schools, and the generals in the military camp liked to use knives to command their peers in private schools. However, in the barracks, his grandfather was a rough warrior, who lacked warmth and warmth to him, and he himself dressed casually and shabbily, with a scruffy nose and a gray face all day, and he did not have the style of a high-ranking official's children, but looked like a rude boy in the countryside.
Such a day passed 7 years, in 1879 Duan Pei died, when the Qing court was in chaos in the decaying military camp, people died and were awarded titles, except for verbal comfort, there was no material pension, since then, the Duan family fell in the middle of the road, 14-year-old Duan Qirui reluctantly read a private school for 2 years, and finally could not bear to work in the fields all day like his father, so he and his parents wanted to go to Weihaiwei, Shandong To join Duan Congde, who served as a steward in the army.
This is the dignity of the 16-year-old Duan Qirui from his grandfather's ears, he is not willing to submit to fate, does not want to become an unknown farmer, so his father Duan Congwen gave him the only silver dollar in his family, and Duan Qirui took a silver dollar to fight his world.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > carrying a silver dollar to break into the world, 16-year-old Duan Qirui's heart is like a fierce tiger</h1>
Carrying a piece of silver dollar to break into the world, Duan Qirui walked alone from Anhui to Shandong, walked for more than ten days and two thousand miles on foot, which was the most sad day of his life, but it was also the starting point of his life's glory, he went to Weihaiwei, Shandong, and found his uncle Duan Congde.
Duan Qirui's tenacity, persistence and solitary bravery impressed duan Congde, a distant uncle, who arranged this young nephew to train in the military camp and placed high hopes on him.
However, fate never spares a hard blow.
A year later, Duan Qirui's father Duan Qirui was killed on the way back from the Wenlai military camp to visit him, although the murderer was quickly arrested, but his mother Fan Shi also died due to excessive grief, and he suddenly had no parents and no one to rely on, and was followed by his 12-year-old eldest sister Qiying, 10-year-old second brother Qifu, and 9-year-old younger brother Qixun.
The eldest brother is like a father, this should be the most difficult moment in Duan Qirui's life, but he did not get crushed, did not go astray, while working hard to be admitted to the first preparatory student of the Tianjin Wubei Academy set up by Li Hongzhang with excellent results, while taking care of his orphaned younger siblings and leading by example.
It can be said that at the age of eighteen, Duan Qirui became a real man, which was his luck and Duan Qirui's suffering.
In the Tianjin Wubei Academy, Duan Qirui studied hard in his studies, diligent and astute was Xiao Chu in the same class, and Wang Shizhen and others were equally famous in the world, and received great attention, and a few years later he graduated from the artillery department of the Tianjin Wubei Academy with the best grades, and was immediately sent to the Lushun Fort to supervise the construction of the fort, and in the same year, he was allowed to study in Germany with the first place, and entered the Berlin Military Academy for military studies at the official fee.
The reason why Duan Qirui was able to rise in the Beiyang Era was that the curtain was officially opened from here, he changed his fate by his own efforts, although there were few strange dangers, unlike Yuan Shikai, a descendant of the family, who was extraordinary, nor like the reckless hero Zhang Zuolin who became a bandit with Hu Bandit, nor like the fallen show talent Wu Peifu who met the nobles to ride the wind.
From a poor boy with a piece of ocean, he counterattacked all the way to become a prominent figure in the Beiyang government, and 30 years later, he printed his head on the silver dollar. Duan Qirui's step-by-step path of the right path can quite enlighten people with hearts - in every era, for most ordinary people, perhaps only by studying hard and persevering can we finally see the clouds and get the world we want.
