When it comes to mentioning it, people will use various words of praise to describe him, such as a strange man, a superman, a god, a perfect man, a saint, a military genius, a prophet, an unparalleled national scholar, etc... In short, he is a A person who can't be described enough. He knew the military well and was the strategist and prophet in the war against Japan, as well as the military god in wartime. He did a series of shocking and shocking things. > The man who puts the Japanese to shame > was born in 1882 in Xia Shi Town, Haining Prefecture, Hangzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province. His real name was Jiang Fangzhen, with the courtesy name Baili, his pen name Feisheng, and his nickname Danning in his later years. Jiang Baili was known as a "child prodigy" because of his extraordinary talent and a photographic memory of the poems he read. > From 1894 to 1895, the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 broke out, and was ultimately defeated due to the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government. During this period, there was a book that deeply influenced him. The book is called "Collection of Universal Loyalty and Indignation". It is a collection of Chinese poems and essays during the Sino-Japanese War of 1888-1894. This book profoundly reflected the patriotic sentiments of the Chinese people during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894. Jiang Baili often held this book in his hand and read it at night, until his blood boiled. He would even cry loudly and burst into tears, and he vowed to serve his country from then on. >In 1901, Jiang Baili went to Japan to study and entered the infantry department of the non-commissioned officer school. In February 1903, Jiang Baili founded and edited the large-scale publication "Zhejiang Chao" in Tokyo, actively promoting anti-Qing revolutionary ideas. His first article was a masterpiece advocating nationalism, which was serialized in several issues. "Zhejiang Tide" received great praise and support from Lu Xun. The poems and essays of Mr. Zhang Taiyan, who was imprisoned in Shanghai, were also published in the magazine, including the poem "Giving Zou Rong in Prison", which was recited by thousands of people. "Zhejiang Chao" soon became popular all over the country, and became the first of its kind for a generation of provincial-level publications to propose constitutional proposals and comment on government affairs. International students followed suit one after another, and provincial publications sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. As the founder of the well-known "Zhejiang Chao", Jiang Baili was only 21 years old at this time. > But this is not surprising. The most legendary scene happened when he graduated from military studies in Japan. In 1906, Jiang Baili graduated from the Japanese Army Military Academy. According to regulations, the Emperor of Japan must give a sword to the student who ranked first. The Japanese regard this as the highest reward and great honor, so the scene of graduation and winning is quite spectacular. During the same period, there were more than 300 Japanese graduates and only 4 Chinese students. The announcement of the rankings has begun, and everyone is eagerly awaiting it. The first place was named Jiang Fangzhen, also known as Jiang Baili. The first place was taken by the Chinese, and the emperor's sword naturally went to China. Japanese non-commissioned officers generally felt that they could not bear the loss of face and thought it was a great shame and humiliation! Unexpectedly, it was announced that the second place was still Chinese! This second place was Cai E, the romantic general who later launched an army from Yunnan to rebel against Yuan, and was also a good friend of Jiang Baili. At this time the scene became even more turbulent. So before announcing the third place, the Japanese checked first. Unfortunately, the third place was still Chinese! His name was Zhang Xiaozhun. Now the Japanese side was in a panic. How could the Chinese have the upper hand? The graduation official felt that he could not explain to the emperor in panic, so he temporarily replaced a Japanese student from behind as the third place. Think about the top four It was embarrassing that the Japanese student could not pass half of the competition, so another Japanese student was added as fourth place, ranking Zhang Xiaozhun in fifth place. >> Among the Japanese students who graduated in this class, there are the famous Class-A war criminals Sadao Araki and Jinzaburo Masaki in the future, as well as Kuniaki Oiso, Shigeru Honjo, Iwane Matsui, Hideki Tojo, Nobuyuki Abe... These people are worthy of They were called the elite of the Japanese Army, but they were all defeated by Jiang Baili and Cai E back then. > This ranking is really embarrassing for Japan. After this embarrassment, which was regarded as a great shame by the Japanese, the Japanese Army Military Academy stipulated that Chinese students must be taught separately from Japanese students to avoid a recurrence of the same situation. As a result, Jiang Baili became a Chinese in history that put the Japanese Army to shame. > First of all, he loudly proposed the strategy of fighting a protracted war > Jiang Baili’s third daughter, Jiang Ying, once said in an interview that Jiang Baili started fighting after he came back from "Xi'an." He lived in Shanghai and had a car. He said " Now there is a war. I am a soldier and I want to go to the battlefield." He drove this car to Nanjing and reported himself, saying, "I am a soldier and I want to go to the war. I don't want my car anymore and I will donate it to the country." . That’s how he went to Nanjing.” > Although Jiang Baili asked the Kuomintang for instructions several times and asked to go to the front to lead troops, he was declined politely, so he entered the study again. In early 1937, a new book was written called "On National Defense." At that time, it was the eve of the Anti-Japanese War, the enemy was strong and we were weak, and the internal fear of Japan was quite serious. However, Jiang Baili wrote at the beginning of this book: "There are thousands of words, but I just want to tell you that China has a way." > The strategy against Japan elaborated by Jiang Baili in "On National Defense" can be summarized into three main points: first, a protracted war of resistance, exchanging space for time, and waiting for the situation to turn around; second, not afraid of being swallowed by whales, only afraid of cannibalization, and carrying out a comprehensive resistance war; Third, start the war in Shanghai, change the Japanese north-south attack axis to the east-west attack axis, use geographical conditions to weaken the Japanese offensive, block the Japanese army to the second ridge (Hunan), form a confrontation, and form a long-term battlefield. > Jiang Baili once sharply pointed out that China is not an industrial country, but an agricultural country. For industrial countries, if they occupy key areas, they will have no choice but to surrender. For example, New York is half of the United States, and Osaka is half of Japan.

But for agricultural countries, it does not matter even if they occupy its most important coastal areas. Agricultural countries are loose and have no key points to grasp. Therefore, Jiang Baili concluded: We must put the people first and fight a protracted war! He first loudly proposed the strategy of fighting a protracted war. The book "On National Defense" became the strategic guidance basis for the Chinese army throughout World War II. >> "Win or lose, just don't make peace with it." > From 1937 to 1938, Jiang Baili made reports and speeches everywhere, and published articles in newspapers continuously. He was called a "wartime literary master", and even The "spokesperson" of China's anti-Japanese policy, his most influential work was "Japanese: A Study of a Foreigner", which caused a sensation in China's wartime literary world after its publication. In the article, he asserted that Japan's golden age had already past. The conclusion of the article became a famous saying during the Anti-Japanese War: "Win or lose, just don't make peace with it." >In August 1938, Jiang Baili was appointed president of Army University. This position was originally held concurrently by Chiang Kai-shek himself. Jiang Baili repeatedly refused to resign, so he agreed to preside over it as an "acting". This year, when the Army University moved westward, Jiang Baili took charge of the school affairs and passed through Hunan and Guangxi. He had to do everything personally and wrote as he went westward. > When Jiang Baili talked about how China should deal with Japan, he had an inspiring saying: "If you can't fight, you have to fight; if you're defeated, retreat; if you retreat, you'll still fight; for five, eight, or ten years, always insist on fighting; no matter whether you fight or not, you have to fight." No matter where you go, it doesn't matter if you lose everything, just don't compromise with him. The final victory will definitely be ours. If you don't believe it, you can open your eyes and watch; we will all see it, unless you are a short-lived ghost. "Jiang Baili's words were almost recited for a while, but it was a pity that he became a "short-lived ghost". On November 4, 1938, he finally died of illness in Yishan, Guangxi due to overwork. He was only 56 years old. When the bad news came, the whole country was shocked. All walks of life in Chongqing, the capital, held a public memorial ceremony, and Chiang Kai-shek personally attended the ceremony. The Kuomintang government issued a commendation order and posthumously awarded Jiang Baili the title of Army General. > Although Jiang Baili, who died young, could not see the final outcome, history developed according to the trajectory he predicted. In 1945, after eight years of resistance, Japan finally surrendered! When Jiang Baili's body was moved to the West Lake for burial, people were surprised to find that his bones were not rotten and lifelike. His friend Zhu Kezhen held the coffin and cried bitterly: "Baili, Baili, do you want anything? I tell you now, our country has won!"> Emphasizing the guerrilla tactics of integrating troops with farmers> Jiang Baili is an all-rounder, as Li Liejun, the veteran of the Republic of China, once praised him. : "There are four libraries and two colleges in his head. The fourth library is for museums, books, history, and science; the second college is for literature and military affairs, plus various lectures and casual drinks." As Li Liejun said, he has extensive knowledge And his superhuman judgment enables him to be one step ahead of others and foresee things in advance. This ability benefited from his purity in studying and doing business, and even more benefited from his detached and independent personality that was nonpartisan and not attached to any group or system. > Jiang Baili’s insights and predictions were almost astonishingly accurate. In 1923, after Jiang Baili buried his mother, he returned to Beijing with his student Gong Hao. Passing through Xuzhou, Jiang Baili suddenly felt something: "One day in the future, when we fight against Japan, the Jinpu and Jinghan roads will be occupied by the Japanese army. Our national defense should be based on Sanyang. Strongholds, namely Luoyang, Xiangyang, and Hengyang." This was in 1923, almost 20 years before the war between China and Japan! After hearing this somewhat mythical theory, Gong Hao felt that Jiang Baili was too sensitive and thought that "in the future, China and Japan would. If the two countries go to war, no matter what happens, half of our country will not fall into the hands of the enemy." > In 1936, Jiang Baili returned from a military inspection in Europe and flew to Xi'an to report to Chiang Kai-shek: "I have just returned from an overseas inspection and I am relatively well-informed. Currently, the Japanese navy and army are competing for credit for the invasion of my country. The Emperor of Japan has secretly met with the Minister of War. , it seems that next year (1937) will definitely invade our country on a large scale!" >> Earlier, Jiang Baili said to Liang Shuming, who had paid attention to and studied rural agricultural issues all his life: "I know that the war between China and Japan is inevitable, and the victory or defeat will be determined. The difference is, one is about weapons, and the other is about people; when it comes to weapons, we are inferior to the enemy, but when it comes to people, we are seven or eight times more powerful than the enemy. However, today's military requires mass mobilization of the people, and our country is an agricultural society, and only three out of ten are farmers. It is difficult to understand if you want to use nationalism, but if you want to destroy the countryside where it is based, you will fight with your life, so you should pay attention to the countryside in education..." In 1937, when Jiang Baili and Liang Shuming talked about the Sino-Japanese War, he said, "China The military and civilians should "control the Shandong and Shanxi highlands" and "hold on to some mountainous areas." Because China cannot resist a strong enemy by relying on its own strength alone, and most of the country will fall and cannot be defended, there is no problem. If it cannot resist, it will have to wait for changes in the international trend to defeat it. Therefore, it needs the West Withdraw, wait for counterattack, and join forces with the allies to regain lost ground. But how can we do it if we only rely on others without the aspect of "seeking for ourselves"? It should be noted that the main condition for counterattack to defeat the enemy still lies with the Chinese themselves. Therefore, Jiang Baili placed great emphasis on protracted warfare and guerrilla tactics integrating the army with farmers. Jiang Baili loudly advocated the Swiss militia system, which was China's purpose to deploy troops among farmers. China, with its weak national defense and backward weapons, could only remedy the situation by encouraging rural resistance and conducting broad and scattered guerrilla warfare.

> The famous scholar Cao Juren once mentioned an incident, which also shows Jiang Baili's foresight: "One day, it was the third day after the "January 28" war (1932), February 1. He was with us Drinking tea in a cafe, I opened the Shanghai edition of the "Daily News" that day. The headline was a telegram about the Japanese Prime Minister's audience with the Emperor. He pondered for a moment and said to us: "On the morning of February 5, there will be a Japanese division." The regiment arrived in Shanghai to participate in the battle. Why did he say this? He said that the purpose of the Japanese and land-based meeting with the emperor was to report that the Japanese army was officially going to war. According to Japan's current transportation capacity, a division of troops can be transported in three days. 40,000 combat troops and their equipment were sent to Shanghai, so he estimated that this division could be put into battle on the 5th (later, he told General Cai Tingkai this estimate.) Sure enough, in the "January 28th" battle, the Japanese army. The first counterattack started on February 5th, and his estimate was very accurate. "Jiang Baili is really a genius in predicting things!> Chinese Renaissance Man> Jiang Baili is not only a military genius, but also a genius in predicting things. He has done many strange things that ordinary people can't imagine, and he often does some incredible things when it comes to his family, wife and children. > Jiang Baili’s father passed away when he was 12 years old, and the mother and son returned to live in Xiashi and depended on each other, so he had a deep affection for his mother, Yang. One time, his mother was seriously ill. Jiang Baili learned from the ancient practice of cutting off a piece of meat from his left arm to make soup for his mother to eat. After the mother smelled the smell, she saw her son's wound again, and the mother and son hugged each other. Headache and crying!> In 1923, after Jiang Baili learned the news of his mother's death, he was so heartbroken that he went south to attend the funeral that day. Tang Shengzhi, Jiang Baili's favorite disciple, and other classmates immediately sent Gong Hao as a representative to Haining to express condolences. They used bamboo baskets to pick up silver dollars as funeral expenses and sent them from Hunan to Xiashi. Jiang Baili wrote a tearful letter asking Liang Qichao to write an epitaph, and built a "Huaixuan Hall" near the old house to commemorate it. > When Jiang Baili was 8 years old, his parents arranged a marriage. The girl Cha Pinzhen came from the famous Cha family in Haining. Like many people whose parents arranged marriages, this marriage also brought pain to Jiang Baili. But the woman never changed her mind. According to Zhang Zongxiang, a classmate and friend of Jiang Baili, Zha Pinzhen said that if you have to wait three years, then wait three years, and if you have to wait ten years, then wait ten years. In 1911, Jiang Baili followed his mother's strict orders to marry Cha Pinzhen. Soon after their marriage, he went north. Cha Pinzhen never had children and served the old lady until his death in 1939. > In 1938, Jiang Baili died suddenly of illness. After hearing the bad news, his friend General Feng Yuxiang couldn't help but overreacted and doubted Zuo Mei, who was born in Japan, so he wrote an article saying that Jiang Baili was killed by his wife Zuo Mei with a poisonous needle, because Zuo Mei He once said, "You love your motherland, I love my motherland." In fact, this sentence was said by Zuo Mei before getting married to express her understanding of Jiang Baili's research on anti-Japanese theory. The original words were "You love your motherland as much as I love mine." > Jiang Baili’s third daughter is Jiang Ying, and her son-in-law Qian Xuesen > This incident brought great pressure to Zuo Mei, but she did not argue, but quickly won the trust and love of the Chinese people with her actions. She then severed all ties with Japan and raised her five daughters amid misunderstandings and suspicions. They were all educated in traditional Chinese culture and did not learn a word of Japanese. She took them to street fundraisers and took off the jewelry on their heads to donate to the Anti-Japanese War. , and went to the front line to provide treatment services for China's wounded soldiers. Zuo Mei said in her later years that she did so because she believed that China's fighting at that time was just. There were many people in China who married Japanese women at that time, but was there any one who supported the Anti-Japanese War as wholeheartedly as Zuo Mei? This can not but be said to be a strange woman!> Jiang Baili and Zuo Mei had 5 daughters, except for the eldest daughter Jiang Except for Zhao's early death, the other four daughters all had successful careers under Zuo Mei's education and upbringing. The husband of the third daughter, Jiang Ying, is Qian Xuesen, the father of China’s aerospace industry. > Looking at Jiang Baili's life, Jiang Ying once commented in an interview with Phoenix TV: "I think Jiang Baili is a Chinese Renaissance person. He understands everything, he understands literature, he understands martial arts, he understands Western things He knows Chinese things, he knows ancient Chinese books, he also knows Latin, he is very good at Japanese, he is very good at German, he loves literature, he can write poetry, he can also shoot a gun, he can ride a horse, he can ride a horse. He rides like a soldier. I think he is a man from the Renaissance era. 》> Mr. Huang Yanpei made an elegiac couplet to comment on this strange man with miraculous talents. The first couplet said that he was a "natural strategist and a natural writer." After going through all the storms in the sea of ??dust, his talents only became apparent during the war." The second line is "A Chinese writes about a Japanese. The final crystallized words are left here, with a light that makes the enemy tremble with fear."
