1928 Zhang packed up and returned to the northeast after the failure of the frontline battle. When passing the Sandong Bridge by train, he was injured by Japanese explosives and died after returning to Shenyang. On his deathbed, he was afraid of what the Japanese army would do after his death, so he asked his family not to hold a funeral for him, but simply to bury him, and then let his son Zhang Xueliang return to Shenyang to inherit his position and stabilize the situation in Northeast China. Zhang's death was announced only after Zhang Xueliang took over from Zhang. In addition, Zhang warned Zhang Xueliang that Zhang Zongchang would never be allowed to return to the Northeast. So who is this person who makes Zhang so vigilant? Why is Zhang unforgettable?

When Zhang Zongchang was a teenager, his family was poor and he often couldn't fill his stomach. For a meal, Zhang Zongchang helped people herd cattle and make wine charts. The hardships of his youth made him strong and stubborn, which laid the foundation for his later career.

When Zhang Zongchang 15 years old, there was a serious famine in Jiaodong. In order to eat, Zhang Zongchang followed others to the northeast. In the northeast, he works hard at odd jobs and hard work, but it is also difficult to fill his stomach. After that, I went to the Middle East Railway as a worker, and I barely had enough to eat. Zhang Zongchang is tall, stocky, active, and treats people well, so others like him very much. He also studied Russian hard, then worked for the Russians, and then went to Siberia for gold.

During the Wuchang Uprising, Zhang Zongchang returned to China to take part in the revolution, and later took refuge in Zhang, where he was constantly promoted. Although Zhang Zongchang has military talent, his conduct is not good, and he has done many outrageous things, arousing public anger.

Zhang Zuo Lin knew that it would be difficult for anyone to control Zhang Zongchang after his death, so before his death, he always advised Zhang Xueliang not to let Zhang Zongchang come to the Northeast. As long as Zhang Zongchang doesn't come to the Northeast, Zhang Xueliang's position is still secure. After Zhang's death, Zhang Zongchang lured Zhang Xueliang to go through the customs, but Zhang Xueliang obeyed Zhang's instructions and stayed in the northeast, letting his men control Zhang Zongchang. If Zhang Zongchang had entered the Northeast, Zhang Xueliang might have been replaced by the Japanese. I have to say that Zhang is really accurate in judging people.
