File Statue Sichuan Army.jpg thumb right 250px The statue of Sichuan clique, which is located in People s Park, Chengdu Sichuan clique was a group of warlords in the warlord era in China . During the period from 1927 1938, Sichuan was in the hands of five warlords Liu Xiang warlord Liu Xiang , Yang Sen 1884 1977 Yang Sen , Liu Wenhui , Deng Xihou , and Tian Songyao . Introduction No one warlord had enough power to take on all the others at once, so many small battles occurred, pitting one warlord against another. Large conflicts seldom developed, plotting and skirmishing characterized the Sichuanese political scene, and ephemeral coalitions and counter coalitions emerged and vanished with equal rapidity. However, Liu Xiang was the most influential of the Sichuan warlords. He controlled Chongqing and its surrounding areas. This region, sitting on the banks of the Yangtze river, was rich because of trade with provinces down river and therefore controlled much of the economic activity in Sichuan. From this position of strength, between 1930 and 1932 General Liu Wenhui and Liu Xiang improved their forces, organizing a small airforce and an armored car force. In 1935, Liu Xiang ousted, his uncle and rival warlord, Liu Wenhui, becoming Chairman of the Government of Sichuan Province with the support of Chiang Kai Shek . World War II In the Second Sino Japanese War , Sichuan clique put huge contribution to fight against the Japanese army. Data shows all numbers of dead or injured solders totally 3.26 millions , including 2.24 millions from Sichuan clique.

They call themselves Mongols and possess their own clothing, history and language. All other peoples in the region recognize them as Mongols Mengzu . The Sichuan Mongols main religion is Tibetan Buddhism . A temple remains in active use just behind the prince s house, despite most temples and altars being destroyed during the Cultural Revolution . Most Sichuan Mongols are farmers or fishermen, leading quiet lives in their remote villages. They observe Buddhist festivals. Historically, the Mongols in Yongning, Sichuan Yongning were ruled by three chiefs, elevated to power by Kublai Khan in the 13th century. Before Communist rule, the Mongol monarch acted as a warlord over the whole region. When the Communists took over, they deposed him, not killing him so as not to make him a martyr in the people s eyes. The Mongol palace was destroyed and the prince was sent to a reeducation camp for several years. The prince, La Ping Chu, is still alive today and respected by his people, although he is not allowed to rule. Many older Mongols still bow their heads in respect when they pass him on the street.
