In pursuit of prosperity, some people joined the puppet government supported by the Japanese and held important positions. Others see through the world of mortals and retire to be public servants. The remaining group followed Zhang Xueliang and joined the Nanjing National Government.

Among all the warlords in the state, Feng Yong can be regarded as an anomaly. Although he later joined the National Government, when people were worried about their future, Feng Yong sold all his property and established the first Western-style university in China. His brave and fearless behavior won the praise of people all over the world.
His father was Feng Linde, a warlord.
According to Jianghu qualifications, Feng is Zhang's predecessor. 19 16 The two men jointly expelled the Fengtian overseer section and formally seized power in Northeast China.
In the Restoration 19 17, Zhang hesitated, while Feng firmly raised the banner of royalism. As a result, after the restoration failed, Feng was shut up by Duan. Although there were contradictions between Zhang and Feng, Zhang Nian and the friendship of that year tried to save Feng.
After he was released from prison, Feng lost power and never led troops again. Zhang took good care of him and promoted Feng's eldest son to Chief of Staff of the Air Force.
Feng Yong and Zhang Xueliang were born in the same year and later became sworn brothers. Influenced by western thoughts, both Zhang Xueliang and Feng Yong attach great importance to western planes and tanks. During his tenure in the Northeast Air Force, Feng Yong helped Zhang Xueliang to establish the earliest air force system in China.
Compared with Zhang Xueliang, Feng Yong has a deeper understanding of saving the country. He believes that if China wants to be strong, it must develop industry; The foundation of developing industry lies in education.

Realize yourself? Education saves the country? Ideally, Feng Yong began to prepare to start a school after his father died of illness on 1926. As one of the old Feng families, the Feng family has been operating in the northeast for more than 20 years and accumulated a lot of property. Feng Yong didn't want to give himself a retreat. He summoned all the debtors and burned all the IOUs in public. After that, he called the pawnbroker and returned all the title deeds. After that, I sold all the Feng family's possessions and got 365,438+ten thousand silver dollars, which was donated to the school as the school property without reservation.
1927, Feng Yong university spring? Start breaking ground. During the construction around the clock, Feng Yong University completed the construction in only four months. There were more than 200 classrooms, offices and student dormitories, which were already very big schools at that time.
Feng Yong is not a passionate rich second generation. His idea of running a school was relatively advanced at that time. Feng Yong's educational idea first carried out the educational policy of the Republic of China. Besides, he infected the students? Feng Yong's Educationalism? . So-called? Feng Yong's Educationalism? , that is? Three classes? Bud? Eight positive? Education? Starting base? . Feng Yong advocates that patriotism and national self-improvement should run through educational practice. The core spirit of its teaching is based on the traditional culture of China.
However, the education of Feng Yong University's national outlook has become a thorn in the side of the Japanese. 1931September19 After the fall of Shenyang, universities such as Fengyong University and Northeastern University were occupied by the Japanese army. The Japanese army conducted a rigorous search in the school and destroyed a large number of educational facilities. At the same time, they also ordered all students to leave school and not to attend classes again.

Feng Yong, the principal of the school, was also arrested by the Japanese.
Kwantung Army valued Feng Yong's background and hoped that Feng Yong could replace Zhang Xueliang as the leader of Northeast China and join the independence plan of the puppet Manchukuo. But when Feng Yong heard about it, he decisively refused to say. So if you kill me, I will die fair and square. Turn a deaf ear and swear not to be a traitor. ?
After Feng Yong was detained by the Japanese army, people from all walks of life in Northeast China launched a rescue for Feng Yong. Finally, with the help of a Japanese professor at Feng Yong University, Feng Yong was released by the Japanese. After he was released from prison, Feng Yong quickly went to Peiping to organize the resumption of school. Thanks to his efforts, Feng Yong University successfully resumed classes in Xizhimen, Beiping on June 1932 and June 10.
However, the good times did not last long. Tossing and turning, Feng Yong has lost all his property and can no longer support the operation of this university. 1June, 933, Feng Yong requested Zhang Xueliang to merge Feng Yong University into Northeastern University. This school, which was born to save the country, finally disappeared in the long river of history after a short period of glory.
In fact, as early as after the Japanese invaded the three northeastern provinces, Feng Yong realized that time was pressing. Education saves the country? There are limitations. Therefore, after the fall of Northeast China, Feng Yong organized volunteers to resist Japan many times and saved the country with practical actions.
In the later period of the Anti-Japanese War, Feng Yong served as martial law commander in Kunshan, the third theater, military law enforcement supervisor in Wuhan Garrison and director of the ninth theater.
198 1 year, Feng Yong died in Taibei at the age of 8 1 year.
