So, what about recovering outer Mongolia? Deacon? who is it? In fact, this is a little-known and little-known generation. His name is Xu Shuzheng, and he is the most outstanding general in modern China. Even Cai E and Wu can't compare with him.
1880, Xu Shuzheng was born in a peasant family in Xuzhou. At that time, his father Xu Zhongqing was 47 years old and his mother Yue was 45 years old. Xu Shuzheng's birth was an old child for them, so she was loved, just as Xu Shuzheng recalled. This tree is the youngest in the Kundi family. Take the test of caring for the canon first, and then cut it to the brothers and sisters. .
Xu Shuzheng's father is a rural teacher, but her mother's family is unusual. It is said that she is a descendant of Yue Fei. Under the influence of such a family environment, Xu Shuzheng is not only clever, but also famous in the village? Can you write poetry at the age of seven? Known as a child prodigy, he was admitted as a scholar at the age of thirteen (1892), and he also inherited the idea of loyalty to the country.
After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the great powers set off a frenzy to carve up China, so many intellectuals in China embarked on the road of joining the army, and Xu Shuzheng was one of them. Xu Shuzheng thinks: Confucianism should learn so that they can use it as their religion. It is a great shame for the country to lose ground for years. What's the advantage of not drawing and explaining, although it takes two hands to make a sound? ? So Xu Shuzheng began to join the army, study the strategies of Sun Tzu's Art of War, and pay attention to the world political and financial situation.
1900, when Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China broke out, Xu Shuzheng heard that the Qing government was recruiting troops, so he went to Jinan regardless of his parents' obstruction, ready to take refuge in Yuan Shikai, then governor of Shandong and head of the new army, and wrote a letter. The central content of the letter was roughly? The defeat of state affairs is defeated by the mediocrity of soldiers. When you want to rectify the economy, there is nothing urgent to give up the military. . However, Xu Shuzheng was turned away.
At that time, Yuan Shikai was worried about his mother's death and couldn't meet guests, so he sent an observer from Shandong to ask Zhu Zhongqi to visit Xu Shuzheng. To Xu Shuzheng's surprise, the two lovers talked for more than half a sentence, and Zhu Zhongqi even sent an ironic letter to Xu Shuzheng's hometown.
When Xu Shuzheng was down and out, he met Duan and they hit it off. Duan immediately hired Xu Shuzheng as a bookkeeper, and Xu Shuzheng began his legendary life. At the same time, Xu Shuzheng has been Duan's right-hand man for the next twenty years.
1905, Duan recommended Xu Shuzheng to study in Japan. It has been 19 10 years since she came back, just before the Revolution of 1911. After Yuan Shikai became president, Duan became the chief of the army and Xu Shuzheng was promoted to the second chief of the army.
