Of course, it is from Zhang Xueliang's standpoint that Yang Yuting is a bad person. After the death of Zhang Zuo Lin, Yang Yuting claimed to be Zhang Zuo Lin's confidant and Zhang Xueliang's elder. He directed Zhang Xueliang's policies and constantly challenged Zhang Xueliang's authority, which led Zhang Xueliang to control the Northeast Army and had to kill him. Of course, the result is not very good.

But in fact, Yang Yuting has forgotten the fact that the new king has been established and must set an example. Zhang Xueliang needs Zhang He's support to ascend the throne of the Supreme Commander of the Northeast Army. At the beginning, Yang Yuting was a veteran who wanted to help Zhang Xueliang and protect the property left by Zhang Zuolin.

Role relationship:

In the plot, after Zhang Zuo Lin's death, Zhang Xueliang took over all his father's duties, but Yang Yuting and others inevitably looked down on the young Zhang Xueliang, while Yang Yuting interfered with Zhang Xueliang in many decisions, leaving no face for Zhang Xueliang.

Later, Zhang Xueliang prepared to change the flag in Northeast China and let Yang Yuting and others handle the matter. However, Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai were very dissatisfied with this. With the support of the Japanese, they secretly expanded their troops. Zhang Xueliang, who wanted to seize power slowly, couldn't bear it, and finally executed them on charges of obstructing national reunification.

Yang Yuting is ten years older than Zhang Xueliang. Their age gap is actually embarrassing, unlike their elders and peers. Yang Yuting and Zhang Xueliang didn't get along well, and Zhang Xueliang couldn't tolerate such a father who was too big to fail, so history pushed him to this position, and this ending was inevitable.
