Biography of life

Xu Qiming, formerly known as Xu Cheng, was born in Luzhai, Guangxi on January 17, 1894 (December 11, 1894). Xu Qiming was born in a scholarly family. Later, he was determined to join the army and became a student of Guangxi Army primary school. During the revolution of 1911, he took part in the student army and went north. Later, he entered Wuchang preparatory school and Baoding military school. He became a student of the second infantry division.

After graduating from the military academy in May 1916, Xu Qiming went to Cen Chunxuan's headquarters in the capital of Guangdong and Guangxi, and was directly appointed as the captain's staff officer. However, the headquarters was dismissed a month later, and Xu Qiming was given a free time. When Guangxi set up a model camp in May 1917, Xu Qiming felt that it was an opportunity for him to come back. Relying on Ma Xiaojun's opportunity to value military graduates, he became a second lieutenant in the first company and became colleagues with Huang Shaohong, Bai Chongxi and Xia Wei, who graduated from Baoding phase III. However, after only half a year in the model camp, Xu Qiming was transferred to the Guangxi border defense army as a second lieutenant, and was laid off again four years later because of the collapse of the border defense army. Such an experience made Xu Qiming lose his original chance to become a new GUI department, but also made him not as good as his third term students.

In February 1922, Xu Qiming set foot in the army for the third time. This time, he went to Ma Junwu, the new governor. Seeing that Xu Qiming had a talent, Ma recommended him to the newly established guerrilla commander of Fugui, Xu Zongwu, as major and deputy commander. Two months later, the guerrilla headquarters was reorganized into the Eighth Route of the Guangxi garrison, and Xu Qiming remained as his deputy commander. Xu Qiming's official career was really rough. After less than half a year as an adjutant, Ma Junwu was driven away by the Guangxi warlords, and he lost his support. Xu Qiming's army naturally collapsed, so he left the army for the third time and became an idle man.

For Xu Qiming, his desire to be a soldier and eventually become a general of the army has never given up. So a month later, he defected to Li Baiyun's troops of Guangxi border defense army, and became the deputy commander of the lieutenant colonel with Li's appreciation. July 1923 was the turning point of Xu Qiming's military career. In this year, Li Baiyun was defeated in the war with the New Guangxi Clique, and li himself announced his resignation. Although the remnant of the frontier army survived under Xu Qiming's shelter, Xu Qiming, who was weak, knew that it was only a matter of time before his army was annexed. After consideration, he thought that he had a colleague relationship with Huang, Bai and Xia after all, and that he was a fellow student before and after graduating from Baoding military academy, so he decided to lead the army to surrender. In the long run, Xu Qiming's decision was right. He became a member of the New Gui Clique and was appointed commander of the first route of the frontier defense.

Although Xu Qiming became a member of the new GUI family, he was not trusted at the beginning as an outsider. When the Guangxi army was reorganized into the seventh army of the National Revolutionary Army, Xu Qiming was deprived of military power and transferred to the post of chief of staff of the fifth Brigade (brigade commander Wu TingYang). For this transfer, Xu Qiming also knew that his position would be shaken, so he went to dredge his old colleagues, and finally became the head of the 11th regiment of the 6th Brigade (brigade commander Wei Yunsong) under the recommendation of Bai Chongxi and Xia Wei, and became a military officer again. In July 1927, the headquarters was renamed the 11th regiment of the 6th Division (division commander Huang xuchu) of the 7th army and still served as the commander of the colonel. In September, the headquarters was renamed the 11th regiment of the 3rd Division (division commander Huang xuchu) of the 15th Army (commander Huang Shaohong), and still served as the commander of the colonel. In April 1928, the headquarters was renamed the 5th regiment of the 51st division (division commander Huang xuchu) and still served as the commander of the colonel.

Xu Qiming was very satisfied with his return to the post of military officer. However, the 11 regiments had been stationed in Guangxi, which made him have no chance to show his talents during the whole northern expedition. However, when the Jiang GUI war broke out, Xu Qiming, who was then the head of the 5th regiment of the 51st division, finally had the opportunity to perform, and was promoted to major general commander and head of the 5th regiment of the 1st column of the National Salvation Army (commander Wu TingYang). His troops first took on the task of flanking the Guangdong army, and then served as one of the main rescue forces when they came back to Guangxi. Xu Qiming tried his best this time, because he wanted to stabilize his position in the New Gui Clique. However, he did not consider that the New Gui Clique was at the end of its tether. Soon after his troops returned to Guangxi, they were forced to accept the change because of the peace of LV Huanyan and others. Because of his performance in the Jiang GUI war, it was impossible for him to continue to serve in the Guangxi army during the period of Yu Zuobei. Resigning his military post was the only way out for him.

Lu Huanyan felt very sorry for Xu Qiming's resignation, so he asked him to stay as a major general in the new 16th Division. However, Xu Qiming is not grateful for Lu Huanyan's acquaintance, because in his eyes, Yu and Lu are traitors of the new GUI clan.

When Li Zongren returned to power and LV Huanyan rebelled, Xu Qiming firmly returned to the New Gui Clique. It was only because of his experience in Lu Bu that he was doubted again, which meant that he had to go through the Central Plains war in the name of major general. (in January 1930, he became a major general of the 8th Route Army and joined the army. In April, he was transferred to the director of the administrative department of Guangxi Province. On November 11, he also served as the supervisor of Nanning customs. He quit his part-time job on December 8. In March 1931, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general of the first front army (commander in chief Li Zongren). In June, the headquarters was renamed the fourth group army (commander in chief Li Zongren), and still served as Lieutenant General).

Xu Qiming was not upset about the result. Instead, he took the opportunity to apply for further study in the 12th regular class of the Army University. This decision can be said to be very wise. At that time, Bai Chongxi was making great efforts to cultivate his own military power. For Xu Qiming, an old colleague of the model camp, and a highly educated soldier of the Army University, he was naturally a rare talent. So in 1936, when two
