In modern history, there are many famous people who have received mixed reputations. Take the Beiyang warlords back then. Each of the warlord leaders at that time fought against each other for their own interests. However, when these people were fighting, there was one thing worth commending, that is, they all defended national interests. Not at all ambiguous. For example, we are going to talk about Zhang Zuolin today. He is known as the "King of the Northeast". He has dealt with the Japanese a lot in the Northeast over the years, but he has never allowed the Japanese to get any benefits. This shows that these warlords are worthy of praise in many aspects. Today, the editor introduces a handsome story, I hope you all like it.

Zhang Zuolin was born in Lulin and did not receive a good education in his early years. Although he is very powerful in the Northeast with his own skills, in many aspects, he also knows that he has suffered the disadvantage of being uneducated. Therefore, in order to cultivate local military talents in Northeast China, Zhang Zuolin established the then Northeast Army Military Academy to cultivate his own military talents.

Speaking of founding a school, there is an anecdote about Zhang Zuolin. The editor will tell you about it. When Yuan Shikai was still alive, he held a banquet in Peiping and invited all his subordinates, and Zhang Zuolin was also among them. At that time, Xu Shichang, Duan Qirui, Cao Kun and other bigwigs were also present at the banquet. In addition to graduating from the military academy, these people were also Jinshi. Therefore, he looked down upon Zhang Zuolin, who was a bandit, and thought Zhang Zuolin was a country bumpkin.

In the middle of the reception, everyone started to brag. Xu Shichang took the lead and said: I am a Jinshi of Guangxu, how about you, Brother Duan? Duan Qirui said: Brothers Bei Zhi and Cao were both from Tianjin Military Academy. At this time, only Zhang Zuolin and Feng Guozhang were silent on the table. Feng Guozhang introduced himself: I am a graduate of Beiyang Military Academy.

At this time, everyone looked at Zhang Zuolin with ill intentions, and Zhang Zuolin cursed in his heart. However, as soon as he rolled his eyes, he quickly thought of a solution. He took out his pistol, aimed at the light bulb at the door, and shot it to pieces. Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Zhang Zuolin to be so tough. Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhang Zuolin laughed loudly and said: I graduated from this school. Everyone was stunned.

Although he got out of the dinner with his wit, Zhang Zuolin still felt ashamed that he was uneducated. Zhang Zuolin's sons all had higher education degrees, and his military instructors also returned from studying in Japan.

Later, Zhang Zuolin went to the Northeast Army Military Academy to give a speech, and he originally prepared a speech. However, because Zhang Zuolin had no experience in public speaking, he forgot the words. Fortunately, Zhang Zuolin tore up the manuscript and said in his own vernacular: "You guys work hard, I can't treat you badly, give you what you want, of course, you know I can’t give you my wife.” After hearing this, the officers and soldiers felt that the commander was a sweetheart and admired him very much.
