Beiyang 1917

() Xiaoji Guozhao is a native of Yamagata County, the eldest son of the police officer Xiaoji Jin.Studied at Yamagata Prefectural Junior High School (Yamagata Prefecture Yamagata Higashi High School).As the eldest son of the family, after graduating from middle school, he felt that he did not have much hope of entering a university (higher school), and there was no property in the family for him to inherit, but his body was relatively strong.At that time, Japan had just finished the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-]. Due to the intervention of Russia, Germany and France, it lost the Liaodong Peninsula that it had already obtained, and there was a trend of joining the army to strengthen the country.

Therefore, under the influence of this turmoil, Xiaoji also applied for the Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy, taking the soldier as his ambition.According to the regulations of the Japanese Army, middle school graduates like him must enter the army with the rank of private first class in December of that year. After a year of service training, the rank of sergeant can only be promoted to sergeant before entering the non-commissioned officer academy in Tokyo. . .

The period of study in the non-commissioned officer school is one and a half years. After graduation, the military rank is promoted to Cao Changhui's original regiment.Xiaoji’s grades were relatively high when he graduated from the 12th term of Lushi, ranking 655th out of 79 students. Although he was not as good as Sugiyama Moto and Hata Junliu in the same period, as a student who had never been to Luyou, it was also good. It's not easy anymore.After graduation, he returned to the 30th Infantry Regiment where he had previously served and spent half a year as a cadet with the team before he was awarded the rank of Second Lieutenant.The captain of the regiment, Furuya Yasumin (the third phase of Lu Shi), summoned all the members of the 3th regiment as usual and announced that Koiso Kunisaki was awarded the rank of second lieutenant of the infantry and served as the regiment attache.

After three years of struggle, Xiaoji finally became an officer.Participated in the Russo-Japanese War, and in March 1906 served as the captain of the 3th Infantry Regiment. He was admitted to the 30nd term of the Army University in 1907. Among the students at the same time were Sugiyama Moto, Hata Shunroku, Nishio Hisao, Taketamiya, the eldest son of Prince Kitashirakawa Noku, and Kodama Yuo, the third son of General Kodama Gentaro.When he graduated, Xiaoji's grades were mediocre, ranking 22rd out of 51 students.In addition, he was not from the Cheung Chau Clan, so after graduation he was not assigned to become a central yang institution, but was sent to Lu Shi as an instructor. . .

Koiso Kunizaki served as the staff officer of the Kanto Metropolitan Government in 1912, and put forward important suggestions to strengthen Japan's rule over Northeast China, which was appreciated by Tanaka Yoshiichi. In August 1914 (the third year of Taisho), he served as the captain of the 8nd Infantry Regiment, Jin Shaozuo. On January 2, 1915, Yuan Shikai signed the "1 Articles" traitorous treaty with Japan. launched an anti-Yuan movement.

The Japanese ruling group also believed that "it is appropriate for Yuan Shikai to withdraw from the group of Chinese rulers", and wanted to establish a Chinese government under the control of Japan after Yuan Shikai fell, so as to slaughter China at will.At the same time, the government of Japan planned the second "Manchurian Independence" movement. The Japanese General Staff Headquarters was headed by Deputy Chief of Staff Tanaka Yoshiichi and Fukuda Masahiro, who had just been transferred from the Chief of Staff of the Kanto Governor's Office to the second head of the General Staff Headquarters. Taro is the direct behind-the-scenes commander. In order to guide the success of the "Manchurian independence" movement on the spot, the Japanese General Staff Headquarters dispatched General Doi Ichi, Major Oiso Kunizaki, Captain Matsui Kiyosuke, and Suzuki Sheng in mid-March 1916. The first-class chief accountant Taro and four others headed for Northeast China.

However, Ijuin, Minister to China, Yada Nantaro, Acting Consul General in Fengtian, and Foreign Minister Ishii believed that "under the cover of our military constitutional power, it is hopeless to try to set off an unseemly predatory riot." "It's a different matter if it's an internal instigation against a powerful force like the Squadron, and a sure riot is launched on this basis." Deputy Chief of Staff Yoshiichi Tanaka also changed his mind, thinking that it would be better to use Zhang Zuolin to launch a riot. The "Manchurian Independence" movement is more favorable than the plans of Doi, Oiso, Kawashima Naniwa and others.

However, Doi, Xiaoji, and Kawashima, headed by General Nakamura Jude, the governor of the Kanto region, insisted on supporting the Shanqi faction of the Zongsha Party and opposed wooing Zhang Zuolin.And on May 5th, Xiaoji was sent back to Japan to meet Tanaka Yoshiichi and Fukuda, and expressed his opposition to the "suspension" of the incident, and he returned to Luda on May 7th. On June 5, Yuan Shikai died violently, Li Yuanhong became president, and Duan Qirui became prime minister. The Japanese government had to stop anti-Yuan activities, and instead adopted a policy of supporting Duan Qirui in order to control China, and the second "Manchurian independence" movement was forced to stop.

Of course, at this time and space in 1918, Koiso Kunizaki was still only a major commander, commanding the 4th Cavalry Battalion of the 12th Cavalry Regiment, and doing the work of building bridges, paving roads, guarding and transporting logistics supplies. In terms of seniority and age, Kuniaki Iso, in front of the other two cavalry brigades, such as Major Nishio Hisao, who was second in the 38nd batch of the mainland, and Koiso Kuniaki who was promoted to major four years ago and served as the captain of the infantry brigade, there is no doubt that this is the case. The official career is a bit stagnant...

You must know that Major Iida Sadagu of the 10th Cavalry Battalion is 4 years younger than Oiso Kuniaki. Iida Sadagu, who graduated from the 24th class of Luda University, is also the Major Commander at the moment, and the 10th Cavalry Battalion under his command is still The pioneer of the Yonezawa United team is quite favored by the team captain Kogoro Yonezawa.Xiaoji suffers because he is a bit older, and he didn't come all the way from Lu You Lu Shi and Lu Da.

Moreover, Koiso Kunizaki was born in Yamagata County and did not belong to the Changzhou clan. It is understandable that his early official career faltered a bit. The 1917th Cavalry Regiment of the 3rd Division actually came from Yonezawa's hometown. At the moment, the leader of the 4th Cavalry Regiment, Yonezawa Kogoro, did not do well after graduating from Xiaoji Continental University, but because Yonezawa Kogoro is a fellow from Yamagata (Yonezawa Prefecture was merged into Yamagata Prefecture in 4, Yonezawa was born in 1871, and Xiaoji was born in 1877)

Yonezawa Kogoro, who was born in the declining Yonezawa Clan, after graduating from the 20th term of the Continental University with the seventh place, he only took ten years to complete the promotion from the captain and the second lieutenant to the captain of the cavalry. He became the 7-year-old The captain of the cavalry regiment, Yonezawa Kogoro, can be regarded as an absolutely smooth-sailing young officer. If there is no accident, even if he survives for another 41 years and enters the ranks of generals, Yonezawa Kogoro is worthy of Yonezawa's hometown elders.

Of course, Yonezawa Kogoro, the descendant of the Yonezawa feudal samurai who graduated 20th in the 7th term of the Continental University, did not forget to support his fellow villagers in Yamagata Prefecture. Koiso Kuniaki, who was frustrated in the staff headquarters, was asked by him to serve as a cavalry The captain of the 4th Regiment, but Koiso Kuniaki has not waited for the time to turn, and at this moment it can only be said that he is playing the role of the rear of the 4th Cavalry Regiment quite well.
