In 1993, a major newspaper in Taiwan reported an incident: a 97-year-old man was sued for being unable to pay the rent. In 1896, Xue Yue was born in Lechang City, Guangdong, in the late Qing Dynasty.

Chen Jiongming

Sun Yat-sen and his wife came to Guangzhou when they learned about this, thinking of persuading Chen Jiongming. In order to protect the two, Xue Yue from the guard regiment was sent out and came to Guangzhou with one of the routes.

Xue Yue did not dare to delay and made preparations for response. Now it seems that the Yuexiu Building where Sun Yat-sen is staying can no longer live. Xue Yue hurriedly ordered someone to inform Sun Yat-sen of the matter and arranged for his husband to take makeup and escape as a doctor.

Thanks to Xue Yue's timely response, Chen Jiongming led his troops to the Yuexiulou area within a few days. After many days of preparation, Chen Jiongming's troops had reached more than 20,000.

In contrast, Xue Yue's guards had less than one thousand people. Under such a huge gap, if it were ordinary people, they would have fled in panic, but Xue Yue was calm and composed, and started a counterattack.

Although Xue Yue's troops are far apart in terms of number of people, Xue Yue has an advantage in geographical location. With the support of tactics, it is difficult for Chen Jiongming to attack no matter how strong his firepower is. The battle of

lasted for several days, and Chen Jiongming still couldn't take any advantage. He became ill-hearted again: since cannot attack, it would be better to burn Yuexiu Tower directly and deal with the people inside.

Sun Yat-sen and Soong Ching Ling

So the battle here continued, and the people sent by Chen Jiongming over there made small moves again.

Xue Yue quickly noticed the abnormality of the rebels and sent advance troops to inquire about the news, and learned about the enemy's plan to set fire.

Sun Yat-sen had left Yuexiu Tower, but Soong Ching-ling was still there at that time. In order to protect his wife Xue Yue, he hurriedly arranged a retreat plan. accompanied by Mrs. Liao Zhongkai, he went to the wharf to meet Sun Yat-sen and others.

After Soong Ching Ling escorted away, Xue Yue immediately joined the battle ahead. Finally, on June 18, Xue Yue successfully broke through with the remaining 200 soldiers and finally met with the large army.

This time, the rescue of Sun Yat-sen by Yuexiu Tower, I also recorded it when I looked up historical materials:

In fact, if we talk about the loyal soldiers who truly protect Sun Yat-sen with their bodies, we may be the first to recommend General Xue Yue. If it were not for his efforts to protect Mr. Zhongshan's safety, modern Chinese history would probably be rewritten.

Although many articles have written about how Chiang Kai-shek fought to the death in the Yuexiulou rescue incident, and even was relied on by Mr. Sun Yat-sen because of this, the main hero was actually Xue Yue.

Xue Yue

After this battle, Sun Yat-sen finally noticed this fearless warrior, and was later valued.

The famous Changsha Battle

General Xue fought countless battles in his life, especially during the Anti-Japanese War, and fought many beautiful battles. The most famous of them must be the Changsha Battle. It is no exaggeration to say that it was the most proud battle in General Xue's life.

Xue Yue successfully defeated the fierce Japanese army with extremely weak power in Changsha, and indirectly suppressed Japan's arrogance. The battle of

was particularly beautiful, but in fact, at the beginning, Chiang Kai-shek did not want to fight this battle. He ordered Xue Yue, who was stationed in Changsha to withdraw to the rear base.

Chiang Kai-shek received news of Japan's invasion of Changsha and urgently issued an order to Xue Yue:

The enemy's intention to invade Changsha is really obvious. Our army should not resist it. It is better to give up Changsha, preserve its power, and then fight after the energy is accumulated in the future.

Cheng Kai-shek really didn't know how to deal with the Japanese invasion of Changsha, and he was not sure whether the army in Xue Yue could defend Changsha. Therefore, he thought that both sides would suffer losses and it would be better to give up the base and preserve the vitality.

After receiving the order from the superior, Xue Yue should have abide by it, but as a general, he is really strong and directly replied to Chiang Kai-shek:

"If Changsha is not defended, where is the position of a soldier?"

Chiang Kai-shek's roundabout tactics Xue Yue really looks down on him. As a soldier, even if he is far from the enemy in terms of numbers and weapons, he wants to fight with him upright and never be a turtle at this time.

In fact, it is obvious from this point that Xue Yue and Chiang Kai-shek's ideas are incompatible, which also reminds him of his later tragic life.

Chiang Kai-shek sent telegrams several times and continued to order Xue Yue, but he was stubborn and ignored him.

Later, in order to persuade Xue Yue, Jiang sent Bai Chongxi and others to Changsha. I originally thought that they would advise Xue Yue, but I might listen, but I didn't expect it.Xue Yue refused Bai Chongxi and others' suggestions again. He told everyone:

"Since ancient times, whoever gets the "two souths" of Henan and Hunan will win the world. Now that Henan has been lost, if it is lost again, it will be in danger of destruction. The terrain of northern Hunan is complex, with mountains and rivers and lakes and swamps, which can lure the enemy deep into the ground and wait for the opportunity to annihilate the enemy. In order to fight, his troops have been ordered to destroy all railways and roads in northern Hunan. Even if the enemy's mechanized troops invade, they can't get in but can't get out... We are confident of winning the battle."

Xue Yue and Chen Cheng during the Battle of Changsha were really persisted. Under the deterrence of military orders, Chiang Kai-shek finally took back the order, and then he ordered again: to guard Changsha.

Since then, the vigorous battle in Changsha finally began. Xue Yue has indeed lived up to expectations and led the soldiers of the National Army to wipe out hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in this battle.

Of course, in addition to its beautiful record, Xue Yue's own tactics also attracted relish to future generations. The "Tianlu Tactics" surrounded the enemy several times and wiped them out one by one. I won't mention the specific details of the "Tianlu Tactics" in

. That battle annihilated 100,000 Japanese troops, and the most critical point was that most of the people who were eliminated in that battle were Japanese, without the Japanese and puppet troops mixed with fish and dragons.

In addition to the large number of Japanese soldiers, the Battle of Changsha was also talked about by many military fans, and even the Kuomintang had been trying to replicate the battle for many years afterwards.

The Battle of Changsha was the most beautiful battle in Xue Yue's career, and the Tianlu tactics were the tactics that Xue Yue was proud of all his life.

Regarding the Changsha Battle, Xue Yue's nephew Xue Weizhong also mentioned in an interview. He said that after that battle, the Japanese regarded Xue Yue as the "Chinese God of War" and respected General Xue Yue from the bottom of their hearts.

After the Third Changsha Campaign, the National Army cleaned up the battlefield

The Japanese respect was not nonsense. After the Changsha Campaign, a story that everyone thought was a rumor proved well how the Japanese respected General Xue.

During the Anti-Japanese War, Japan once fought in Guangdong. Xue Yue's younger brother and his fellow villagers fled to the nearby mountain. They happened to pass by the Xue family's ancestral tomb.

My younger brother was very worried when he saw it. If the Japanese dig up the ancestral grave directly, there would be no place to cry at that time. My younger brother wanted to cover it up simply, but he didn't expect that before he could start to act, the enemy behind had already rushed up.

had no choice but to leave their ancestral grave and run forward. On the whole road, Xue Yue's younger brother was very worried. The Japanese were cruel and ruthless. At this time, the ancestral tomb had probably been destroyed by them.

But I didn't expect that his worries were completely redundant. After the situation improved a little, they came back to check it out, but they didn't expect that not only was it not as miserable as they imagined, but the ancestral tomb was also cleaned up.

It turned out that after the Japanese learned that this was the ancestral tomb of General Xue’s family, they cleaned it up and killed cattle and sheep to serve as sacrifices.

Xue Yue was interviewed by war reporters in Changsha

. It was not so bad, just because General Xue is a hero in their hearts. Even if his beliefs are different, Xue Yue still makes them admire him.

The Japanese cleaned the ancestral tomb of the Xue family, which has been circulating among the people, but because no one came out to confirm this, everyone just regarded it as a legend. But now with the telling of Xue Yue’s nephew Xue Weizhong, this story that has always been covered with a hazy veil has finally become a foregone conclusion.

The name of General Xue, the general in Changsha, was completely launched. After that, he was called the "God of War" and "Tiger of Changsha". The National Government and US President Truman both awarded Xue Yue the medal for the Battle of Changsha.

Xue Yue's fame suddenly reached its peak. Everyone thought that Xue Yue had such great military achievements and his life would definitely be much worse in the future.

But unexpectedly, soon, the War of Liberation broke out, and Xue Yue made a series of mistakes in it. He was later removed from an important position by Chiang Kai-shek and assigned him an irrelevant position.

Xue Yue

Later, Xue Weizhong also mentioned that experience to the reporter during an interview:

He told reporters that during that period, the uncle often said: The Kuomintang and the Communist Party are brothers of the same school. The Communist Party’s way is to go from bottom to top, and the Kuomintang is from top to bottom. Both are for the country, and they are both in the same way.

Perhaps Xue Yue will not be able to reproduce the record of that year in the future, which is one of the reasons.

The elderly man was sued in court

After the end of the Liberation War, the Kuomintang began to retreat to Taiwan one after another. Originally, Xue Yue did not want to leave, but he thought of leading his army to station on Hainan Island.

However, for various reasons, Xue Yue had no choice but to retreat to Taiwan with his army.

Xue Yue, who came to Taiwan, was completely declining. He handed over all the military power in his hand, then retreated, and never appeared in people's sight.

In 1993, a Taiwanese court received a case in which an elderly man was sued by a bank for refusing to pay the rent.

After the court received the case, it quickly began to sort it out. As the incident progresses, the case is finally about to open. On that day, the court was full as usual, and people were waiting to see how the old man lost the case.

You can know that it is the old man’s fault after simply understanding the matter. The rent itself should be paid. It is obvious that his choice to refuse to pay is a violation of the regulations. The case of

was officially held, and the other party's lawyer was aggressive toward the elderly, and the judge also asked the elderly to give the reason. The atmosphere at the scene forced the old man to become more and more nervous. Finally, the old man cried bitterly and shouted: "I thought I was fighting the Japanese back then. I destroyed 100,000 Japanese troops!"

The old man said one thing, and everyone present was stunned, and the accusations in the audience stopped.

At that time, the old man's eyes had already been crying red, and his emotions were getting more and more excited. His eyes were like a dam breaking a dam and cried bitterly. The reporter next to him took this opportunity to shoot at the old man.

The trial ended with everyone's talk and the old man's out of control. The incident happened suddenly and the court could only adjourn the court now.

However, this matter is not over. After the trial of the case, major media and newspapers rushed to report the case. The matter caused a great sensation, and the mainland is also very concerned about it.

has become increasingly important and many people are curious about the identity of the old man. If what he said is true, then this person must be a great anti-Japanese hero, but how could the anti-Japanese hero end up in such a situation.

In order to know the truth behind it, people began to investigate. The investigation results were released soon, but after learning the results, everyone couldn't believe them.

It turned out that the old man who looked unpretentious in court was "God of War" Xue Yue. After the identity of the old man was exposed, the public's attention to this matter reached its peak. Why did the once brave and warlike generals now end up in this kind of field?

After layers of investigation, the truth of this matter finally emerged.

It turned out that after Xue Yue retired, he came to Zhuqi Township, Chiayi County, and lived his ideal life of returning to the field.

When the Jiang family father and son were alive, his living treatment was pretty good. The Kuomintang allocated a house for him, and the whole family lived together.

However, after the death of Jiang and his son, Xue Yue's life plummeted. The house assigned by the Taiwan government was cancelled, so Xue Yue had to pay the rent to the bank himself.

Jiang Jingguo

Normal rent payment Xue Yue has been doing it, but he didn't expect that the bank began to get worse after that. They raised the price based on the original rent and asked Xue Yue for high rent.

At that time, Xue Yue had no source of income, and the rent was really unreasonable, so he continued to drag on it.

Bank seemed to have found an opportunity to take advantage of it and took this excuse to directly sue Xue Yue in court.At this point, the truth finally came out.

People can't help but feel regretful for Xue Yue's experience. It is really hard to understand that the former "God of War" general lived such a life after he was old.

Originally, the public believed that Xue Yue's identity was exposed and the matter of the house would probably be settled, but the bank was really arrogant. After Xue Yue's appeal was transferred to the court, it was ruthlessly rejected.

had no choice but to move out of the original house and come to a small house of more than ten square meters to spend the rest of your life .

Xue Weizhong told reporters in an interview many years later: He felt very ironic. Whenever he returned to the mainland, someone would talk to him about his uncle Xue Yue’s deeds with relish.

But in contrast, Taiwan does not promote Xue Yue, who once had great military achievements. Now fewer and fewer people know Xue Yue and the Battle of Changsha.
