During the eight-year Anti-Japanese War, 3.5 million people went out to fight against Japan in Sichuan, accounting for 5% of the14.05 million people actually recruited in the same period of the country. Most of them belong to the Sichuan army, and all the weapons and equipment are one of the worst in the national army, but they all go to the front with the determination to die.
General Yang Sen of the Sichuan Army said: "It is extremely shameful that we fought a civil war in the past and were sorry for the country and the nation. Today's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, defending the country, is a bloody sacrifice, and it is the unshirkable responsibility of our soldiers. Our Sichuan army must not live up to the expectations of the villagers, and we must shed our blood and win glory for the country. " .
Liu Xiang, a warlord, went to war with illness and died in his hometown, but he did not forget to encourage his comrades-in-arms to "fight the war to the end and never waver, that is, as long as the enemy does not retreat to the border, the Sichuan Army will never return home"! Wang, then commander of Sichuan Army 122 Division, said: "If you leave Sichuan to resist Japan this time, you will die if you don't succeed." In the Battle of Taierzhuang, Wang died heroically.
Rao Guohua, commander of Sichuan Army 145 Division, "I want to fight for my country without hesitation, and I would rather die than surrender." He committed suicide and died generously when he ran out of ammunition and was completely surrounded by Japanese invaders. The above are only some Sichuan generals listed in the Anti-Japanese War, and more are unknown soldiers fighting in the front line. It can be said that every piece of China land occupied by Japanese invaders left the blood of Sichuan soldiers.
It is worth mentioning that all the above-mentioned generals basically experienced warlord melee before War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, but they never fought with the government of the Republic of China but changed hands peacefully, and their repeated encirclement and suppression of the Red Army basically ended in failure. Therefore, some people joked that the Sichuan army was "an outsider in the civil war and an expert in foreign war."

At the end of the Song Dynasty, Mongolian fighters swept across Eurasia, but were turned into yellow sand in the fishing city, where Mongo died. Of course, the final price paid is also painful. After the occupation, Sichuan was slaughtered by Mongolian fighters, and the population dropped sharply from the original 6.5438+0.92 million to 825 thousand, which is why it was later said that Huguang filled Sichuan.
"Qin and Bashu, a vast country, took money to train soldiers, and eventually swept through eight great droughts and a field. In the Tang Dynasty, Xuan, De and Nuo fled to Shu and then tried to restore the Central Plains. When Japan invaded China and the people marched westward, Jiang said: If you lose fifteen passes, you can win the war of resistance in the southwest.
Sichuan people donated money and received 80 million mangoku grain, and 300 Wan Chuan soldiers were sent to the battlefield with tears! Historically, Sichuanese have never lost their country. "

70 years ago, there was a butcher at ciqikou ancient town Water Terminal in Shapingba, Wang Xing, who sold leftovers at a low price every day. Wang's daughter-in-law, Zhang, felt sorry, so she set up a stall selling chop suey soup in the street, boiled it with pig's head meat, pig's bones and peas, and added pork lung leaves and fat intestines with ginger, pepper and cooking wine, which was very delicious.
By chance, Zhang put the fresh pig blood curd directly into the chop suey soup, and found that the more boiled the pig blood curd, the more tender it became, and the more delicious it became. This dish is boiled with raw blood and eaten now, hence the name Maoxuewang.

Unfortunately, when the wheel of history entered the middle of17th century, she was stared at by a lean man in troubled times, and that person was Zhang.
Zhang Ruchuan is a great disaster for Sichuanese who are used to being comfortable and independent in silence. The Zhang Sichuan massacre, which shocked the world, almost completely destroyed Sichuan's culture and productivity.
Especially the massacre of 40,000 gongsheng, the inheritor of China civilization and culture, left a blank for future generations to understand from all angles-there were no Sichuanese from now on.
In the late autumn of A.D. 1646, the Sichuan-Chongqing economy, which had been destroyed by years of war, could no longer withstand the survival of Zhang Dashun's regime and nearly 600,000 troops. In addition, the surrounding Ming army is approaching from many places, and Zhang decided to give up Sichuan and return to his hometown in Shaanxi. Before Zhang left, a fire completely destroyed Chengdu at night and then retreated to Guanghan.
At the moment, those who were captured when Zhang attacked Chengdu and later fled to Sichuan to fight Zhang became the main generals of the Ming Dynasty. On a warship at the mouth of Pengshan River in Sichuan, he suddenly saw the smoke billowing in the direction of Chengdu, and the fire turned red. A few hours later, he got the news of Zhang's retreat and was awed by Zhang's powerful forces. Three days later, Yang Zhanfang entered Chengdu.
At this time, the smoke in Chengdu is rolling, there are still embers burning, and the air is filled with choking smell. This metropolis, which once flourished for thousands of years, was haunted by countless literati and even hundreds of thousands of residents in the same city, disappeared from Yang Zhan's eyes.
The bustling streets in memory have been submerged by ruins, resplendent and magnificent, and the complex of Shu Wangfu, which is second only to the Forbidden City in Beijing, has long since vanished. Chengdu was completely erased from the earth by Zhang.
(5) Zhang and Liu Yin Street.
Zhang was mentioned many times in the conversation, so Huang told a story about Zhang and "Liu Yin Street".
By the way, there is an old street called "Liu Yin Street" next to Chengdu Jinjiang Hotel, which was quite well preserved until the 1990s. Everyone knows that this street is very old, but few people know the legend about the name of Zhanghe Street.
According to legend, when Zhang Ruchuan went to Liu Yin Street, he found a woman running for her life. She has two children, a big one and a small one. The big one is carried by a woman, and the small one is led by a woman. The child was so weak that he couldn't keep pace with the adults and was dragged on crying. The woman paid no attention to the child's crying, but kept beating and cursing.
Zhang's men were very angry when they saw this scene. They think Shu people are cruel. They are so cruel to their children that they should be killed. So he took his old mistress to Zhang.
Zhang Q: You are so cruel to the child you are holding. He is definitely not your own flesh and blood. It should be your own son behind your back. The lady replied, sir, you are wrong. This little son is my own flesh and blood, and my eldest brother's own flesh and blood is on his back.
Both eldest brother and sister-in-law died because of the war. This is their only offspring. When the child dies, I can still regenerate. Eldest brother, when the child dies, the incense is broken.
Zhang was greatly moved after listening to it, thinking that the ancients said: "The old man is old, and people are old; It seems that there are still good people in Sichuan.
So he dismounted and went to the woman and said, I'm going to slaughter the city tomorrow. You are a good man. You don't have to run away. Go straight home. You put a willow branch at the door as a sign, so that when my people come, they won't search or kill anyone.
When the women heard this, they immediately went home and informed their neighbors that they had planted a willow branch in front of their house. In this way, everyone in this street escaped. As a result, the custom of inserting willow branches rose in this street, and it was renamed "Liu Yin Street".
