The next day, all the newspapers in Shanghai comprehensively reported the story of the 29th Army's broadsword team, as well as the stories of the eight heroines of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and many universities came to invite Song Zheyuan to give a speech at the school. Those middle school students also worshipped the eight heroines of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and Liu Xiang also looked at the newspaper in Sichuan and said, I didn't expect our Sichuan baby to be so powerful, his wife said, send his daughter to Shanghai to go to college, right? Liu Xiang said, this is what you want.

Liu Xiang (July 1, 1888-1938), the name of the father, the name Fucheng, the legal name Yuxian, was a native of Dayi, Chengdu, Sichuan, a warlord in Sichuan during the Republic of China, a first-class general of the National Revolutionary Army, the governor of Sichuan Province, and the first president of Chongqing University.

In August 1913 (the second year of the Republic of China), Xiong Kewu, commander of the Fifth Division of the Sichuan Army, and others responded to Sun Yat-sen's "Second Revolution", declared independence in Chongqing, formed the General Headquarters of the Yuan Army, and decided to divide the troops into three routes, besiege Luzhou, and first eliminate the first division of Zhou Jun controlled by Hu Wenlan. Before the battle, Xiong Kewu sent his quick classmate Fu Chang and others to instigate, but Liu Xiang was noncommittal. After the battle began, he, Hou Jianguo, and Liu Shengen were ordered to lead the battalion to block the headquarters of Long Guangsuo, the commander of the middle route brigade and the commander of the first team of the Yuan army. In this area, they rushed back and forth to save Luzhou. After the defeat of Yuan's army, Liu Xiang was promoted to the commander of the third regiment of the first division because of his meritorious service, and was transferred to Chongqing to immerse himself in military training.

In August 1915 (the fourth year of the Republic of China), Yuan Shikai appointed Chen Eun to supervise the military affairs of Sichuan, and in order to weaken the Sichuan army, the divisions were downsized. Liu Xiang was protected by Zhou Jun in front of Chen Eun, and the new brigade commander Xiong Xiangsheng also saw that he was simple and unpretentious, so he was not replaced. In the winter of the same year, he was appointed as the commander of Tongliang, Bishan, and Dazu Qingxiang sub-divisions, and was ordered by Chen Eun to search for revolutionaries to clear the way for Yuan Shikai's restoration of the emperor.

On December 5, 1915 (the fourth year of the Republic of China), Yunnan was declared independent by telegram, and Cai Yi, commander-in-chief of the First Army of the Protector Army, led his troops to attack Yuan Shikai through Sichuan. Liu Xiang, under the command of Xiong Xiangsheng, led the whole regiment to defend Luzhou. In March of the following year, Liu Cunhou, commander of the Second Division of the Sichuan Army, declared independence in Naxi, proclaimed himself commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Army of the Protectorate, and the Protector Army led by Cai Yi would attack Luzhou. Liu Xiang assisted Xiong Xiangsheng in detaining all the troops left behind by Liu Cunhou in Luzhou, and was rewarded with 300,000 yuan by Yuan Shikai. When the Protector Army approached Xiaoshi and Wufeng Peak, he was ordered to lead his regiment as the vanguard, and under the cover of the fierce artillery fire of the Beiyang Army, he broke through the Yangtze River and counterattacked Lantian Dam, cutting off the return route of the Protector Army across the river. After the battle, the Protector Army suffered a defeat. Chen Eun and Zhang Jingyao, the general of the Beiyang Army, sent a special telegram to Yuan Shikai, asking Liu Xiang to be rewarded. On March 13, Yuan Shikai issued an order, saying: "Liu Xiang bravely supervised the battle, Lianke wanted to be strong, cleared the river bank, was commendable for his diligence and bravery, and was awarded the rank of major general of the army and five honors." Subsequently, Liu Xiang was awarded the third-class Jiahe Medal. On May 22, Chen Eun declared the independence of Sichuan. Xiong Xiangsheng saw that the overall situation had changed, so he abandoned the army and sneaked back to Chengdu. Liu Xiang was recommended by the public because of his deep qualifications and acted as the brigade commander. Later, Zhou Jungu, who supervised the military affairs of Sichuan, was officially appointed by Yuan Shikai as the commander of the 29th Infantry Brigade of the 15th Division of the Army. On July 20, the Protector Army conquered Chengdu, and Cai Yi took up the post of Sichuan Governor and Governor in Chengdu, and invited Zhou Daogang (then serving in the Beijing War Department) to return to Sichuan to serve as the commander of the First Division, and asked Liu Xiang to be the commander of the First Brigade of the division.

In January 1918 (the seventh year of the Republic of China), the Yasukuni War broke out in Sichuan. At the beginning, Liu Xiang and Xu Xiaogang, the commander of the First Division, stood on Liu Cunhou's side, and led his troops to fight with the Yunnan-Guizhou Yasukuo Army in the areas of Tianjiachang, Yishidui, and Baima Temple in Neijiang, in an attempt to block the westward advance of the Yasukuni Allied Army. During an attack, he was defeated and retreated to meet Xu Xiaogang. At that time, Xu was furious because of the defeat on the front, and when he heard that Liu Xiang was coming, he scolded sharply: "Can't Brigade Commander Liu be killed?!" When Liu Xiang heard this, he turned around and ran, and immediately took the pistol team and rushed to the line of fire to supervise the attack, and went down with a drum. In February, the Yasukuni Army captured Chengdu. Seeing that the Beijing government had lost control of Sichuan, Liu Xiang followed Xu Xiaogang and other generals of the Sichuan Army and immediately turned to Xiong Kewu, commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Yasukuo Army, and sent a telegram in response to the "protection of the law." In March, he was appointed by Xiong Kewu as the commander of the first division of the Sichuan Army. In June, Xiong Kewu convened a meeting of the whole army in Chengdu and organized the Sichuan army into seven divisions. Liu Xiang was reappointed as the commander of the Second Division, with jurisdiction over seven counties of Yongchuan, Rongchang, Tongliang, Dazu, Bishan, Hechuan, and Wusheng, and set up a division headquarters in Hechuan. Since then, Liu Xiang has a fixed foothold, and on the one hand, he appointed Baoding Express students to serve as staff officers, brigade commanders and other important positions, and began to establish an accelerated troupe; On the one hand, military training teams and officer training centers have been set up to step up the training of key military personnel in order to recuperate their strength. He told the officers of the training center that in the future, they would work together to "unify Sichuan and win the Central Plains."

On January 8, 1921, Liu Xiang and Dan Maoxin jointly telegraphed their determination to govern themselves, "Before the establishment of the legitimate unified government of the Republic of China, Sichuan Province will be completely autonomous, and the fundamental law of provincial autonomy will be formulated by the will of the citizens of the province, and all functions and powers will be exercised to conspire for political innovation, in order to revitalize industry, and in any aspect of the north and the south, we will never defend the left and the right." On January 21, Dan Maoxin of the First Army, Liu Xiang of the Second Army, and Liu Chengxun of the Third Army once again sent a joint telegram, refusing to accept the appointment of Liu Cunhou as the overseer of Sichuan and Xiong Kewu as the governor of Sichuan by the Beiyang government, and "decided to make the Sichuan people self-reliant and self-reliant." On February 18, Liu Xiang, Dan Maoxin, and Liu Chengxun jointly sent a telegram, announcing that Liu Cunhou had violated the will of the people, was a major obstacle to Sichuan's autonomy, and should be expelled, and began to jointly expel Liu Cunhou with the First and Third Armies, and Liu Cunhou was defeated in late March. On June 6, the generals above the commander of the Sichuan Mixed Brigade elected Liu Xiang as the commander-in-chief of Sichuan at the aftermath meeting, and the joint offices of the various armies were abolished, and on the 24th, he was promoted to the governor of Sichuan, and Xiong Kewu expressed his support behind the scenes. On July 2, Liu Xiang officially took office as the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Army and the governor of Sichuan Province, with more than 80,000 people under his command, and became the head of the Sichuan warlord system.

In June 1926, Liu Xiang and others sent representatives to Changsha to meet with Tang Shengzhi and asked to join the Northern Expeditionary Army. On July 22, the Beijing government appointed Liu Xiang as chief of staff, but he did not take office. On August 13, Liu Xiang, Liu Wenhui, Lai Xinhui, and Liu Chengxun were willing to go to the Northern Expedition because Wu Peifu changed the governor and governor of Sichuan. On November 27, the Guangzhou Nationalist Government appointed Liu Xiang as the commander of the 21st Army of the National Revolutionary Army and a member of the Chuankang Pacification Committee, and on December 8, Liu Xiang announced his inauguration, and on the 17th, he sent a telegram affirming his determination to be loyal to the National Revolution in the past in response to the Sichuan incident and his determination to be loyal to the National Revolution in the future. Commander of the Artillery Engineer Zhang Bangben. On December 27, when clashes broke out between the left and right factions of the Nanjing government, Liu Xiang ordered martial law and dissolved the provincial and municipal party offices of the rightist faction (Xishan Conference faction).

Now Sichuan closely follows the pace of Shanghai, Sichuan is also undergoing earth-shaking changes, now plus this year's University Games is also held in Chengdu, Chengdu at this time is the same, all the streets are paved with cement, Chengdu is full of factories, Sichuan Province bandits are all disbanded, Liu Xiang is to send batches of military talents to Shanghai to study, Liu Xiang also sent all his children to Shanghai to go to school, the cost is still their own, at this time Sichuan is also one mind, In addition to Jiang Qiang's industrial support for Kangding, Sichuan has basically solved the problem of food and clothing.

Today, Tang Juwu mainly communicates with the 29th Army, Xuan Ran is not very satisfied with Song Zheyuan or supports the equipment of their four divisions, and requires them to hold along the Yellow River, this is the minimum requirement, Song Zheyuan is still relatively satisfied, but he is not satisfied with Zhang Zizhong's special care, giving them a heavy artillery weapon, that is a big deal, at this time, Japan is six heavy artillery, Zhang Zizhong himself has a heavy artillery gun, there is no way, this is Tang Juwu specially arranged, Then all of Song Zheyuan's subordinates entered the Shanghai Military Academy for three months of study, and 500 officers above the company level also entered the Shanghai Military Academy for one year.

Jiang Qiang, a member of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, also asked them all to enter the military academy for three months of study, which was Yan'an's order, in fact, they also wanted to learn Wang Yizhe's fighting style, which was simply too powerful. Fifty people beat a squadron of a little devil, and as a result, not a single one died. Such an army is too powerful, and Zhao Yiman has entered the university to re-study at this time.

Zhao Yiman: On October 27, 1905, Zhao Yiman was born in a feudal landlord family in Baiyangzui Village, northern Yibin County, Sichuan Province. His father, Li Hongxu, once spent money to donate the fame of a "prison student", and later taught himself Chinese medicine to see a doctor for the township. 's mother, Lan Mingfu, took care of the housework, and gave birth to six girls and three boys, one man and seven boys. In 1913, at the age of 8, Zhao Yiman entered the "private school" to study, and his grades were good. In 1918, at the age of 13, his father died, and his eldest brother Li Xiru and sister-in-law Zhou Banghan were housekept. In 1924, her eldest brother-in-law, Zheng Youzhi, introduced her to join the Socialist Youth League. In May 1926, the first anniversary of the May Day Movement, it was the climax of the boycott of foreign goods. Zhao Yiman, in accordance with the instructions of the Red Party, organized party members to propagate among the students to boycott the British kerosene steamer near the Yibin wharf, and the students were subjected to armed repression, which triggered a city-wide strike, a boycott, and a boycott of classes. In the summer of 1926 he joined the Red Party. In October 1926, Zhao Yiman was admitted to Wuhan Huangpu Military Academy.

Now Zhao Yiman is a celebrity in Shanghai, and he has to be invited to give speeches everywhere, but Zhao Yiman still did not agree, and has been studying administrative management in college.

At this time in San Francisco, USA, everyone in the overseas Chinese was reading the reports from Shanghai, and there were big slogans on the streets at this time, saying, "China has you will not die," and overseas Chinese also held large-scale demonstrations. Everywhere I am singing my Chinese heart, Germany, Britain and France are full of demonstrations of overseas Chinese.

At this time, the Nanjing government was the most embarrassing one, and the chairman of the committee did not come out of the office for two days, and at this time it can be said that he hated Tang Juwu to the core, and now the country is full of demonstrations. Protest against the inaction of the Nanjing government and demand the formation of an anti-Japanese coalition government. Fighting Japanese imperialism and returning our rivers and mountains, Zhang Xueliang was only sponsored by Shanghai's 50 million US dollars in Shanghai, which was already very good at this time, and he did not blame Tang Juwu too much for not remembering the old feelings, Shanghai has also returned to calm, there is still a month to celebrate the Spring Festival, the history at this time has not changed at all, Zhou Wen has already gone to Nanjing Military Academy for further study for half a year at this time, and he will bring a battalion. He himself felt that there was not much development in Shanghai, and he had opinions about Tang Juwu, and he could obviously drive away the Japanese troops in the three eastern provinces, but he didn't move, and questioned Jiang Baili at school several times, and Jiang Baili at this time was not easy to say.

Zhou Wen and several of his other students left the military academy to study for two and a half years and went to Nanjing, at this time Nanjing was still very happy to receive them, Zhou Wen and they arrived at the school, Zhang Zhizhong, the principal of the school, was also surprised to see their military quality, such a military quality that they can't do here, and then reported to the chairman, the chairman called Zhou Wen and they were all temporary instructors, military training for this group of students, and also arranged a company of soldiers to train Zhou Wen alone, which satisfied Zhou Wen's vanity.

Today, in order to satisfy his family, Jiang Qiang invited Wang Huimin to his home as a guest, and the family was very happy, the youngest sister brought her best toys out to Wang Huimin, and the eldest sister also took out her favorite coat to give to Wang Huimin, Jiang Bing kept telling Wang Huimin the stories of the war, Tingting also said very politely, Jiang Qiang, what are you doing here, go buy vegetables and cook, so that her mother laughed at Jiang Qiang for asking for his own hardship, and there was no way for the whole family to treat himself as transparent, Jiang Qiang picked up the basket and went to the vegetable market alone to buy vegetables to cook and eat, at this time Jiang Qiang also returned to the past, that is, wandering around the market, looking at the delicious food, everyone in the market knows Jiang Qiang, this guy dares to buy vegetables is the most expensive, the best to buy, and don't talk about the price, you say how much, but one condition is that it must be very fresh, what is expensive to buy, there is no one pound of sea shrimp, a six-pound water fish, and a five-pound big fish head, as well as pig intestines, pork belly, and small beef, all the best food.

When I got home, I saw Wang Huimin reading where Qian Dafa was reading, Tingting was also reading, Jiang Bing and his sister were also playing, Jiang Qiang started cooking, and his mother also came over to help, not that her mother didn't want to cook, but she really couldn't make Jiang Qiang's taste, he remembered that Jiang Qiang was a person who didn't want to cook when he was a child, and now he can say the same about cooking, he is fascinated by a taste, even he can't figure it out, and when he studied medicine, his father is an honest worker, Or the most timid worker finally killed a Japanese ronin, Jiang Qiang's mother saw her son, yes, it's her own son, how did it change so much, it didn't take long for Jiang Qiang to cook the meal.

Everyone had dinner together, Jiang Qiang said, Wang Huimin, you don't want to be in the military academy, you are too young so it's good for you to study with my eldest sister, Wang Huimin said, I still have to listen to the organization's arrangement, in fact, I don't understand it in the military academy, okay, this problem will be left to me to solve How about it is to train with us, we are learning red boxing, and when you grow up, you will go to fight devils, okay, well, you have to make it clear to our organization, I am not a deserter, Tingting said, How can you be a big hero, you know? In fact, Wang Huimin was also ignorant at this time, who didn't want to live a better life, there was no way at that time, he was an orphan again, and Leng Yun saved himself, so he participated in the Anti-Japanese Federation, and when he saw his sister throwing himself into the river, he didn't even think about it, so he walked to the river with Leng Yun. The idea of dying with my sister too.
