Yang Sen (February 20, 1884 - May 15, 1977), Zi Hui, formerly known as Shuze, also known as Bojian, was born in Longtai town temple, Guang'an County, Sichuan Province (now HongRi village, Longtai Town, Guang'an District, Guang'an City). His ancestral home is Caotang temple, Hengyang County, Hunan Province. He is a famous general of Sichuan army. General II of the National Revolutionary Army, chairman of Guizhou Province. Yang Sen, together with "crystal monkey" Deng xihou, "Ba gecko" Liu Xiang, "Duobao Taoist" Liu Wenhui, "Wang Lingguan" Wang LINGJI, is known as the five elements of Sichuan army.

Yang Sen is quite legendary. He went through the revolution of 1911, the war of national defense, the war of warlords, the war of resistance against Japan and other historical periods. He not only made a just move in his early years to beg yuan to protect the country, shelled the British ships, protected Zhu De, Chen Yi, and Hu Zhiming, but also colluded with Wu Peifu to destroy the revolution, create the "Pingjiang Massacre" and actively followed Chiang Kai Shek to fight the civil war. Among the warlords of the Kuomintang, Yang Sen is famous for his numerous wives and concubines and numerous children. He openly has 12 wives and concubines and 43 children. His absurd and abnormal marriage is particularly remarkable and has been a mystery for thousands of years.

In 1949, Yang Sen left Sichuan for Taiwan from Chengdu, and later died in Taipei. He was the last general to die among Sichuan warlords in the period of the Republic of China. He pursued foreign style and new trends all his life. At the same time, he was a helmsman of paoge society, a private secret organization.

Personal resume

Early experience

In his childhood, Yang Sen had a common family background. His father was a student of Yiwu Xiangsheng, who was once a history teacher. Influenced by this, he was deeply interested in practicing martial arts and joining the army since childhood. Yang Sen studied in Zixing Academy of Guang'an and shunqingfu United middle school successively. He joined the Sichuan army's leading group in 1906 and the Sichuan army's Accelerated School in 1908. He joined Liu Xiang, Tang Shizun, pan Wenhua and other students. These people later formed the core figures of the "accelerated Department" Sichuan warlord group headed by Liu Xiang and Yang Sen. After graduation, he was assigned to 17 towns of the new army as platoon leader. Because of his serious training of soldiers, his platoon won the first place many times in the joint exercises, examinations and competitions. In 1910, he was promoted to the right team officer of the first battalion of the 33rd mixed Association and joined the league in the same year. In 1912, he served as the battalion commander of Wang LINGJI troops of the first division of Sichuan army. In 1913, he joined the 5th division of Sichuan army of xiongkewu department, participated in the "second revolution", and was captured after failure. Huang Yucheng, the general of Yunnan army, was terrified when he gathered the prisoners. Only Yang Sen, who was fearless, courageous and burly, liked him and left him as an adjutant in the headquarters.

In January 1915, he served as the captain of Yunnan lecture hall, and in December he served as the staff officer of the second echelon regiment of the first national defense army, and participated in the national defense war.

In 1917, he served as chief of staff of the second Yunnan army and head of the independent regiment.

In April 1920, he left the Yunnan army and served as the commander of the 9th mixed brigade, the garrison envoy of luyong and the division commander of the 9th division of Sichuan army.

Warlord scuffle

In 1923, he served as the commander of the second army of Sichuan army. He was defeated in the battle of the first and second army and fled to Yichang. He was attached to Wu Peifu. Wu served as the commander of the 16th Division of the army. He was awarded the rank of general of the army on September 5 and general Senwei of the general's office on October 23.

In February 1924, he led his troops back to Sichuan, and on March 8, he joined the rank of general and concurrently served as the commander in chief of the former enemy in Sichuan. With the strong support of Wu Peifu, Yang Sen made a comeback and occupied Chongqing, then conquered Chengdu and drove Xiong Kewu and others to southern Sichuan. In May, he served as the military supervisor of Sichuan. He became the agent of Beiyang Government in Sichuan. In the same year, Yang Sen's career reached its peak. He roared out the loud slogan of "building a new Sichuan" ambitiously and carried out the "New Deal": first, building roads; second, opening up public stadiums; third, setting up popular education centers; fourth, advocating "court meeting" and other measures. Yang Sen's implementation of the "new Sichuan government" is unique among many warlords in Sichuan. Many people think it is a historical progress and praise Yang Sen for his courage. However, some of his methods are unreasonable and unreasonable. For example, even ordinary people who don't manicure their nails and wear long clothes will be punished. Naturally, many people ridicule and oppose him. Although Yang Sen chanted the slogans of anti feudalism and emancipation of women, in fact, he really achieved good things such as lifting women's foot binding in Sichuan, but he clearly married several little wives, which makes people feel that his so-called practice is just a kind of image engineering. The common people joked in private: "commander Yang, advocating women's liberation, married some little women!" Yang Sen could not change the bad habits of the old warlords.

In May 1925, Duan Qirui removed Yang Sen from his post of military supervision in Sichuan and transferred him to Beijing as acting chief of the general staff, replacing him with Liu Xiang. However, Yang Sen was afraid of the loss of military power, so he refused to go. As a result, the relationship between Liu and Yang became hostile, and Yang Sen launched the war of "unifying the whole Sichuan", which shocked the whole Sichuan. In July, Liu Xiang wooed yuan Zuming, the Qian army, to form an anti Yang coalition, and Wang zanxu, the division commander of Yang Sen's Department, also came to the battle. Liu Xiang beat Yang Sen's army to pieces. General Senwei was defeated in the battle, so he had to leave Sichuan alone and flee to Hankou. He served as the first commander of the Sichuan army of Wu Peifu.

Against revolution

In February 1926, Sichuan returned to the old Ministry. Liu Xiang was forced to make peace with Yang Sen, and the two sides signed the "Bingyin treaty" in Wuhan, which stipulated that the military power of Yang Sen should be returned, and at the same time, the army of Qian should be expelled by Yang Bu and Liu Xiang's troops. After Yang Sen returned to Sichuan, Yuan Zuming knew that he was unable to fight with Yang Sen, and led the Yunnan army to retreat into Yunnan. Yang Sen's strength and territory were greatly expanded. He had more than 60 regiments and more than 70000 troops, and controlled all the counties in the east of Xiachuan. He once again became a bully in Central Sichuan. On October 23 of the same year, Yang Sen accepted the post of commander-in-chief of the 20th army of the National Revolutionary Army and commander-in-chief of Sichuan Hubei border defense appointed by the national government. Zhu De was the party representative of the army. He wanted to respond to the Northern Expedition and lead the division against Wu, but he secretly continued to serve as "commander-in-chief of the first way of the anti thief coalition forces" appointed by Wu Peifu. On August 13, Liu Xiang and other generals of Sichuan army sent a telegram to discuss Wu. However, Yang Sen accepted Wu's appointment as governor of Sichuan Province and called himself "commander in chief of Sichuan army for Hubei Province". Cooperate with the northern warlords to attack the northern expedition.

In 1927, Chiang Kai Shek betrayed the revolution and split the Kuomintang. On the condition of occupying Hanyang Arsenal, he asked Yang Sen to send troops to Western Hubei to attack the Wuhan National Government. Seeing that this was profitable, Yang Sen led his troops from Wanxian to Yichang on May 5 in the name of "being ordered to send troops to attack Wuhan". On May 21, in Xiantao Town, Hubei Province, Yang Sen's troops were intercepted by Tang Shengzhi. Almost all of them were annihilated and only a small number of troops returned to Sichuan. In January 1928, Wu Peifu was removed from his post by the Nanjing government. In May, internal strife broke out among his subordinates. Guo Rudong was the commander of the 20th army, and fan Shaozeng was transferred to Liu Xiang. Although his strength was greatly damaged, his loyalty to Wu Peifu in distress made people look at him with new eyes.

In January 1929, Liu Xiang was defeated in the battle of xiachuandong. He was defeated in Tieshanping and Zhangguan. There were only six incomplete brigades left, and 21 counties in eastern Sichuan were also occupied by Liu Xiang. He retreated to Quxian county and lost the capital to dominate Sichuan.

In October 1933, he took part in the six route siege of the Red Army's Sichuan Shaanxi base and served as the fourth route commander in chief.

In 1935, he was ordered to lead the army to encircle the Long March Red Army. He sent the first and fourth brigades to intercept the Red Army in Xuyong, and the second and sixth brigades to set up defense in Dadu River. He wrote to Zhu De, asking for mutual non aggression. Zhu De wrote back that the Red Army would not fight him as long as he did not intercept the Red Army and go north to resist Japan. From then on, he sent troops to pretend to fight in order to preserve his strength.

On February 25, 1936, he assumed the post of lieutenant general in the army.

Fighting against Japan in blood

In 1937, after the outbreak of the all-round Anti Japanese War, he led his troops out of Sichuan on foot and organized them into the 19th corps of tiger general Xue Yue. Later, Xue Yue was promoted to the commander of the ninth theater, and his headquarters belonged to the ninth theater. During this period, Yang Sen took part in the battles of Songhu, Wuhan, Changsha and Changheng.

As soon as he left Sichuan, Yang Sen went to Shanghai to take part in the Songhu Anti Japanese war. The whole army held its position in a bloody battle for five days and nights until Wei Yunsong's 31 army and ye Zhao's 66 army took over. In addition to the 88th division of the central army, which was equipped with German weapons, and the tax police regiment's direct subordinate team, Yang Sen's Department was the most capable unit in the battle of Songhu. He was rated as one of the five most capable divisions in the battle of Songhu. Chiang Kai Shek immediately ordered the best supply and replacement.

In January 1938, Yang Sen served as commander-in-chief of the 27th group army and commander of the 20th army. In March, during the battle of Nanchang, he launched a tug of war with the Japanese outside the city of Wuning. In June, the battle of Wuhan began. On the 13th, Yang Sen's Department was attacked by the Japanese army's potian detachment at night and drove out of Anqing city one night. In a telegram, angry Chiang Kai Shek scolded him for "abandoning the famous city lightly and laughing with friends." He called back and said that Xu Yuanyuan's troops had lost Hefei and let go of his back before he had to retreat. As a result, he got a punishment of "dismissal and retention". In September, he served as the commander of the 6th army and the commander of the 20th army. On the 18th, he was promoted to the rank of general.

In January 1939, he was also the commander of the 20th army. In September, he was responsible for defending the mountain areas of Southern Hubei in the first battle of Changsha. Although he failed to block the assault of the 33rd division of the Japanese army in the front, the Japanese army's marching pace was slowed down by continuous and tenacious side attack and pursuit. Therefore, in October after the end of the battle, he served as deputy commander of the sixth theater. In April 1940, he served as deputy commander of the ninth theater of war. In the second battle of Changsha in the autumn of 1941, he was caught by the Japanese army's feint and transferred the main force to besiege a Japanese regiment in Dayun mountain. As a result, the front line of the new wall River defense line was empty and was quickly broken by the Japanese army. On the way, the reinforcements of the theater were broken by the Japanese army because of the time difference. October Chen Chengfa
