You have several questions. I can only elaborate on them one by one. First of all, I want to talk about Zhang Zuolin’s integrity. If nothing else, Zhang Zuolin refused to sign twenty-one things because he is the best Chinese with integrity. clear evidence, and it was precisely because Zhang Zuolin restrained the Japanese at every turn and did not buy their account that the Japanese had murderous intentions towards Zhang Zuolin and created the Huanggutun Incident. There is a saying: it is easy to hide from open guns, but difficult to guard against hidden arrows. The President of the United States Is Kennedy awesome? Wasn't it the same as being assassinated?

(Eastern King Zhang Zuolin)

Secondly, Zhang Zuolin is so powerful, why does he still allow Japan to run rampant in the Northeast? What you need to know is that Zhang Zuolin and the Japanese are in a relationship of mutual use. Besides, Zhang Zuolin is strong, no matter who he is. No matter how strong he is, he is just a local warlord. Moreover, Japan has become the most powerful country in East Asia since the Meiji Restoration and the victory of the Sino-Japanese War of 1888-1895. No matter how strong Zhang Zuolin is, he will not be able to win the war in a corner. It is obviously unrealistic to oppose the power of a country.

Speaking of Japan’s rampage in Northeast China, this is a legacy issue from history. Since the failure of the Qing government in the Sino-Japanese War of 1888-1894, Japan has long been plotting against China’s Northeast, and its power has gradually penetrated into it. Under Zhang Zuolin’s control At the time of the Northeast, the Japanese had already become a dominant force in the Northeast. It was obviously unfair to attribute all the responsibility for the Japanese rampage in the Northeast to Zhang Zuolin. The historical fact is that Zhang Zuolin relied on his own integrity and strength to resist the Japanese's attempts to win over him many times and refused to sign a traitorous treaty. Although it is not said that Zhang Zuolin could completely stop Japan's aggressive ambitions, he at least effectively contained Japan's attack.

▲Zhang Zuolin and his fifth son, Zhang Xuesen (right), and his sixth son, Zhang Xuejun (left). After the victory of the Second Zhili-Fengtian War, Zhang Zuolin entered Beijing and served as Marshal of the Army and Navy, exercising governance on behalf of the Republic of China and becoming a national supreme ruler. During his reign, he repeatedly resisted the Japanese attempts to win over him and refused to sign a traitorous treaty. In 1928, Zhang Zuolin was forced to return to Northeast China due to unfavorable fighting conditions on the front line. On the way, he was seriously injured by explosives planted by the Japanese Kwantung Army. He died after being returned to his official residence in Shenyang that day.

Although Su Ri regarded Zhang Zuolin as a thorn in his side, he had to admire Zhang as an "invincible little man." The Japanese fear their perseverance and are not afraid of powerful enemies! This was determined by Zhang's bloody nature. The Japanese knew that as long as Zhang was alive, they would never listen to the Japanese, and they would never allow the Japanese Kwantung Army to do whatever they wanted, so they deliberately killed him!

Maybe everyone has a bad impression of warlords, thinking that they are similar to bandits. Warlord soldiers also burn, kill and loot, run rampant and abuse the people, and only want to be emperors without contributing to the region. Although this is the case, the warlords still made contributions. Just like Zhang Zuolin, he had an army of more than 300,000 people in the Northeast at that time. He not only controlled the three provinces of Northeast China, but also resisted Japanese aggression and hindered the Japanese army's idea of ??conquering Northeast China and then invading China. Although Zhang Zuolin was born in poverty, he still had great ambitions and a long-term vision.

▲ Map of the situation in Northeast China during Zhang Zuolin's period

During Zhang Zuolin's time in charge of Northeast China, he actively developed industry and education in the region, opened factories and established colleges and universities. However, Zhang Zuolin was a ruthless man, and his talents were mostly reflected in military strategy and fighting. At that time, Japan made many plans to invade China and often targeted the three northeastern provinces. Zhang Zuolin also had contact and cooperation with Japan in order to consolidate his position as a warlord. However, this did not mean that Zhang Zuolin allowed the Japanese army to do whatever they wanted in his territory.

In a conflict between Northeastern soldiers and Japanese soldiers, the Japanese army killed two Northeastern soldiers. As the boss, Zhang Zuolin must give an explanation to his subordinates, and he must not let the Japanese think that Zhang Zuolin is easy to bully. So he went to the Japanese office in China to demand justice, asking the Japanese army to compensate for the losses and apologize to the deceased soldiers and the Northeast Army. However, the Japanese army was very perfunctory and did not apologize and pay compensation according to Zhang Zuolin's request. They only paid several hundred oceans to express the matter. That's the end. This behavior seriously angered Zhang Zuolin, so he did it without stopping. He ordered all the soldiers to stop training, gathered them all and issued this order: Go to the streets to look for Japanese, and kill every one you find without leaving any way for them to survive.

▲ Map of the distribution of domestic forces during the July 7th Incident

After killing several Japanese, the Japanese office also sent people to find Zhang Zuolin to ask for an explanation. Just throwing money away like that before, and showing domineering dissatisfaction to come to a fight, the more than 300,000 troops in Northeast China are not afraid of fighting Japan. Zhang Zuolin lived in a chaotic era. Due to the times, he sometimes had to make some controversial decisions, but when it came to decisions concerning the survival of the nation, he was absolutely unambiguous. This can be seen from Japan. This can be seen from the fact that he still refused to sign a treaty that would be humiliating and humiliating the country. Although it is not said that Zhang Zuolin may be able to completely prevent Japan's aggressive ambitions, he can at least effectively contain Japan's attack.

Hello everyone, I am 嘚嘚.

First of all, Zhang Zuolin has a strong character. In that era of warlord melee, Marshal Zhang's strength was also one of the best, but why did he still let the Japanese do it? He believed that there was still a gap in overall strength, which was not allowed by the turbulent current situation at that time. Then let's see how tough Zhang Zuolin is.

The following little story can tell us how tough Zhang Zuolin is when facing the Japanese.

When Zhang Dashuai was young, he worked as a veterinarian, sold steamed buns, and worked as a bandit. Zhang Zuolin was successfully recruited by the government forces in 1902, so Zhang Zuolin became a regular army.

After becoming a regular army, Zhang Zuolin quickly expanded his troops, strengthened militarized training, and always fawned over his superiors.

Although Zhang Zuolin is already a government employee, his violent temper has not changed at all.

At that time, Zhang Zuolin's troops were stationed in Xinmin Mansion. There was a conflict between Marshal Zhang's men and Japanese soldiers there. Two of Marshal Zhang's men were killed by Japanese soldiers.

Zhang Zuolin was furious after hearing the news. He immediately found the Japanese military headquarters and strongly demanded that the murderer pay for his life.

The Japanese officer said: "The Japanese soldiers are in legitimate defense and are only willing to pay one thousand taels of silver to settle the matter." (You think this is annoying, look at what Zhang Zuolin did)

Zhang Zuolin didn't say anything at that time and silently returned with one thousand taels of silver.

After returning to his residence, he immediately summoned his men and said, "You should try your best to kill three Japanese soldiers for me."

So his men rushed into the street and killed three Japanese soldiers.

Soon the arrogant Japanese officer found Zhang Dashuai and forced him to severely punish the murderer. Dashuai Zhang is doing this.

Zhang Zuolin said coldly: "According to your Japanese army, five hundred taels of silver means a life. I have fifteen hundred here. Take it!"

The Japanese officer touched Feeling disappointed, and having nothing to do with Zhang Zuolin, who was a bandit, he could only take the money and walk away in despair.

Zhang Zuolin never softened when facing the Japanese. How powerful was Zhang Zuolin during the warlord melee?

Zhang Zuolin started his career as an insurance team with about 20 people. Later, in order to clear his name, he accepted the imperial edict of the Qing government. From battalion commander to regiment commander to division commander, he had more than 400,000 soldiers at his peak. In the Year of Destiny, he ruled almost half of China.

In 1924, it became the most powerful force among the Beiyang warlords. Then why did Zhang Zuolin let Japan do whatever it wanted!

In 1924, Zhang Zuolin became the most powerful force among the Beiyang warlords, just when Zhang Zuolin was satisfied with his ambition.

In 1925, a crisis was approaching him. Guo Songling, one of the Five Tiger Generals, announced his support for Major General Zhang Xueliang. There was internal fighting at that time, and Zhang Zuolin was preparing to pack up his gold and silver and flee to Dalian. Because Guo Songling's anti-Fengtian behavior greatly weakened the Feng army. Zhang Zuolin's idea of ??unifying China by force also turned into supporting troops to protect himself.

(Guo Songling)

In 1928, Chiang Kai-shek attacked Fengjun and Zhang Zuolin was defeated across the board. Seeing that Zhang Zuolin was unable to save the day, he could only withdraw outside the customs.

When Zhang Zuolin made his fortune in the Northeast, Japan had already extended its tentacles into the Northeast. Zhang Zuolin is well aware of Japan's ruthlessness, but if he wants to maintain a firm foothold in Northeast China, he cannot do without Japan. Summary

Through some short stories and some factual data, I also tell everyone how courageous and powerful Zhang Zuolin is.

However, due to some political reasons, we have to rely on Japan to gain a foothold in Northeast China.

Then why did Japan plan the Imperial Aunt Massacre?

(Photos of the Huanggutun Massacre)

Because Japan has always wanted to support an obedient puppet regime, but Zhang Zuolin was not the one. This is the root cause of the Huanggutun tragedy!

What did Zhang Zuolin rely on to start from scratch? Have both sides!

When his own strength was weak, Zhang Zuolin had already mastered the unique skill of moving between various forces. Zhang Zuolin, who was born in Kuhaha

In 1888, 13-year-old Zhang Zuolin and his second brother accidentally killed themselves in revenge for their father. The second brother was arrested and Zhang Zuolin escaped.

From then on, this young man began to work for a living. He did whatever he could to earn money to support himself. He never chose to choose. He also worked as a salesman, a pancake man, a carpenter, and even a veterinarian.

During the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War, Zhang Zuolin also served in the navy. In 1895, he left the army and returned to his hometown, where he married the second daughter of the village landlord Zhao Zhanyuan's family. Zhang Zuolin became a beard

In the second year after his marriage, the restless Zhang Zuolin went up the mountain to become a bandit under the introduction of Feng Delin. This business in the Northeast is called a beard. Zhang Zuolin was still restless after becoming a beard.

In 1900, the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded Beijing. Russia in the north was not willing to be left alone and took the opportunity to send troops to invade the Northeast region.

The incompetent General Shengjing fled without a fight, and local security was paralyzed. Zhang Zuolin discovered the opportunity, so he led his team down the mountain into the village and began to collect "reasonable burdens" to maintain public order in nearby villages.

Not only did he find a relatively stable income for himself, he also won praise from the local people.

But the good times did not last long. The next year, Zhang Zuolin was driven away by bandits colluding with the Russians. Zhang Zuolin was recruited

After Zhang Zuolin's peaceful life was disturbed by bandits and Russians, he joined forces with Zhang Jinghui to organize regiment training, and was recruited in 1902. He had a formal establishment and military position. He was soon promoted to battalion commander (called the commander at the time).

After the Russo-Japanese War broke out, two ferocious jackals fought on the land of Northeast China, especially the Russians who had a deep hatred for Zhang Zuolin before.

It stands to reason that as a soldier, Zhang Zuolin should stand up and defend his homeland, but from the beginning he chose to stand by and watch.

Both Japan and Russia have tried to win over Zhang Zuolin. His idea is very simple: "If you have breasts, you are a mother! Help whoever gives you benefits!"

At the beginning, the Russians gave benefits Zhang Zuolin helped the Russians fight the Japanese. Later, the Japanese gave them many benefits and gradually gained the upper hand, so he immediately turned his guns to help the Japanese.

When the Russo-Japanese War ended, Zhang Zuolin was well fed and his strength developed rapidly. The Japanese provided him with all-round support and regarded him as their agent. Zhang Zuolin is unwilling to be a puppet

Although the Japanese hope to support Zhang Zuolin as their own puppet, Zhang Zuolin has his own plans and always maintains his independence.

He continued the benefits given by the Japanese!

The Japanese wanted a promise, and he agreed!

The Japanese asked him to cash in, but he held off!

As for what the questioner said, Zhang Zuolin is so powerful that he has nothing to allow the Japanese to do whatever they want in the Northeast?

This is a false proposition!

Zhang Zuolin was raised by the Japanese, which is equivalent to a pet. However, this pet has not been well domesticated, but no matter what, the pet's strength will not exceed its owner.

When Zhang Zuolin became the king of the Northeast, the Japanese Kwantung Army might not be as powerful as Zhang Zuolin in the Northeast, but Zhang Zuolin knew very well how strong Japan was behind it.

Zhang Zuolin is first of all a big warlord. His first consideration is his own interests, not the country and the people. He is not that great!

Whatever the Japanese do in the Northeast, as long as it does not involve Zhang Zuolin's interests, he will not forcefully interfere, and he has no ability to forcefully stop it.

However, the Japanese had no way to command Zhang Zuolin at will. He was not a qualified agent, so later the Japanese created the "Huanggutun Incident" that shocked China and foreign countries and killed Zhang Zuolin. They hoped Props to a new obedient agent, but unfortunately they miscalculated again.

Zhang Xueliang, who took over, was not a good choice either.

Zhang Zuolin has a lot of backbone. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a traitor, because he was raised by the Japanese!

Nowadays, many Internet braggarts are touting Zhang Zuolin’s backbone and saying that he and the Japanese have “dark hands” to fight for every inch of land. This is actually nonsense!

Zhang Zuolin is a lackey of the Japanese!

During the Russo-Japanese War in 1904, most horse bandits in the Northeast were bribed by the Japanese to assist Japan in attacking Russia, but Zhang Zuolin remained neutral. The Japanese became angry and arrested him and prepared to execute him.

Lieutenant Colonel Tanaka Giichi, the director of operations of the Japanese Kwantung Army Staff Department, was released on bail. Finally, Zhang Zuolin surrendered and agreed to assist Japan, and he was able to survive.

From then on, Zhang Zuolin always remembered the "life-saving grace" of the Japanese Kwantung Army and became a lackey of the Japanese. .

After the Russo-Japanese War, the entire Northeast became the sphere of influence of the Japanese, while Dalian Lushun was directly ruled by the Japanese Kwantung Army garrison and was called the "Kwantung State".

Under such circumstances, the Japanese will definitely not allow anyone who dares to resist them in the Northeast to exist, and Zhang Zuolin is no exception.

With the support of the Japanese, Zhang Zuolin unified the Northeast. In fact, he was just an agent of the Japanese.

In January 1912, after the Revolution of 1911, the southern provinces became independent one after another, and the Qing government was in danger. Faced with the turbulent revolutionary situation, Zhang Zuolin expressed his reactionary stance against the Revolution of 1911 when he visited Kentaro Ochiai, the Japanese Consul General in Fengtian (today's Shenyang).

He said, "I think it would be more prudent to leave the three northeastern provinces to the hands of the southerners than to outsiders. At this moment, if Japan has any instructions for me, I will work hard." Serve."

These remarks are simply blatant traitor remarks! There is no essential difference from Cixi's "I would rather be with friends than domestic slaves".

In February, the Qing emperor abdicated, and Zhang Zuolin told Ochiai, "We have now lost the emperor to whom we should be loyal, so it is natural for us to rely on Japan of the same kind."

< p> In 1916, Japan lent Zhang Zuolin 3 million yen from the Fengtian Branch of the Bank of Korea to help him rectify the finances of Fengtian Province (today's Liaoning Province) and stabilize the economic situation.

Later, when Zhang Zuolin competed with Feng Delin for control of Fengtian and Meng Enyuan for Jilin territory, Japan supported Zhang Zuolin, which ultimately allowed Zhang Zuolin to defeat his competitors and become the "King of the Northeast."

After the second Zhili-Fengtian War, with the support of the Japanese, the Fengjun army was victorious and the Zhili army was defeated. Zhang Zuolin entered Beijing and became the last ruler of the Beiyang government.

Fengjun General Wu Junsheng said: "The current outcome of this war is entirely due to the help of the Japanese and the Japanese government."

In 1925, when Guo Songling rebelled against Fengcheng, his offensive was fierce. With Shenyang in sight, Zhang Zuolin was in panic all day long and had already made plans to study abroad. At this critical moment, the Japanese Kwantung Army directly sent troops to defeat Guo Songling, allowing Zhang Zuolin to turn the corner.

From 1913 to 1931, Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xueliang and their sons hired 18 Japanese consultants. The Japanese penetration into Northeast China and Fengjun was almost pervasive.

Zhang Zuolin’s advisor, Yajiro Takashi, is also the head of the Kwantung Army’s secret service stationed in Fengtian.

While gaining support from Japan, Zhang Zuolin betrayed the interests of Northeast China and suppressed the domestic anti-Japanese movement. At that time, the Japanese even commented that "only Manchuria was completely outside the anti-Japanese circle" in the entire China.

In 1913, Manchuria Railway (namely "South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd.", a Japanese government-run enterprise in Northeast China) wanted to exploit subway mines in Liaoyang, Anshan and other places. Zhang Zuolin and the Japanese formed a Sino-Japanese joint venture "Revitalization Company", Manchurian Railway obtained the mining rights of Anshan iron ore.

Japan legally purchased a large amount of land in Northeast China. Without Zhang Zuolin’s consent, it was not easy for the Japanese to buy land.

For example, Manchuria Railway purchased 4.15 million square meters of land in Northeast China in 1917, and another 360,000 square meters in 1918, of which only 1.61 million square meters were used to build factories, and the rest was used For building streets, residences, hospitals, schools, etc.

When Guo Songling rebelled, Zhang Zuolin signed a secret treaty with Japan in order to obtain assistance from Japan and save his rule, agreeing that "the Japanese would enjoy commercial lease rights in the three northeastern provinces and eastern Inner Mongolia;

< p> Transfer the administrative power of the Jiandao area (Yanji and other 4 counties) to Japan;

Extend the Jidun Railway to connect it with the North Korean Railway;

Allow Japan to build roads on Taochang Road The county opened a consulate, etc.

In October 1927, the Northern Expedition was at a loss, and Zhang Zuolin's Beiyang government was about to collapse. Under the coercion and inducement of the Japanese, Zhang Zuolin signed the "New Five-Road Secret Treaty between Manchuria and Mongolia" and obtained the right to build a railway through Northeast China.

Such a traitor and traitor was actually touted on the Internet as a patriot with backbone.

Ignorant people are so pathetic!

In recent years, there has been a trend on the Internet, and more and more voices are praising Zhang Zuolin. Compared with Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Zuolin is indeed much better, but there is no need to over-praise him. Zhang Zuolin is nothing more than a big warlord leader, and may not be as good as some netizens say. Zhang Zuolin's road to fortune

Zhang Zuolin started out in the grass and once lived in the green forest. He was later recruited by the Qing government and became a local emperor. After the Wuchang Uprising, he became the king of Northeast China. As early as 1916, Zhang Zuolin had already established an alliance with Japan. Create contacts and gain strong support from Japan.

The Japanese are eager to occupy the Northeast, but due to their strength, they are unwilling to go to war, so they need to support a spokesperson. Zhang Zuolin also hoped to dominate the Northeast and even take control of the pass, so he was eager to get the support of foreign forces. Therefore, the two parties hit it off. The Japanese relied on Zhang Zuolin's power to establish a foothold in the Northeast. Zhang Zuolin obtained a large number of Japanese weapons and equipment, and his strength exceeded other warlords. Feng Clan Zhang Zuolin, his strength once crushed the Zhili Clique, Anhui Clique and other warlords, and he once served as the actual leader of the Beiyang government.

To say that Zhang Zuolin has strength, it is true. His strength originated from Japan, and he once became the strongest warlord in China at that time. To say that Zhang Zuolin has backbone is probably not the case. Judging from Zhang Zuolin's origin and growth trajectory, the word backbone has nothing to do with Zhang Zuolin.

Photos of Zhang Zuolin, a double-sided egoist

Zhang Zuolin has many sides, but his main characteristics are two, one is the pride of the green forest, and the other is the shrewdness of the market. Zhang Zuolin fully displayed these two characteristics when dealing with the Japanese, other competitors, and his own men.

Green Lin's arrogance made Zhang Zuolin informal in his dealings with others and treated his subordinates and soldiers without too much airs. He had a natural affinity for some educated people. Although he had a bad temper, he was not disgusted either. Such characteristics make Zhang Zuolin very popular. The shrewdness of the market made Zhang Zuolin an egoist. The most fundamental starting point for everything he did was self-interest. Whether it was accepting recruitment from the Qing court or supporting the revolutionary party, including accepting support from the Japanese, the fundamental reasons were all is profitable.

Zhang Zuolin’s egoism is his way to survive in troubled times and it is also his bottom line. Everything must not harm your own interests. When the Japanese stretched their hands longer and longer and began to expand their power in the Northeast, this harmed Zhang Zuolin's vital interests. This is behavior that Zhang Zuolin cannot tolerate. Therefore, Zhang Zuolin could let the Japanese run amok, but he would never give up his core interests.

Some people used this to illustrate Zhang Zuolin's anti-Japanese enthusiasm and determination to safeguard territory. This was to put gold on Zhang Zuolin's face. Zhang Zuolin is the king of the Northeast. The Japanese robbed the Northeast, so can he drink the northwest wind?

Returning to the question, we know that Zhang Zuolin’s strength was given by the Japanese, and he had no backbone at all. This was just a deal between the Japanese and Zhang Zuolin, to facilitate the intersection, to maximize the benefits, and to separate them. Zhang Zuolin's tragic death at the hands of the Japanese can only explain one problem. The Japanese have taken root in the Northeast and no longer need spokespersons.

Map of the Beiyang Warlords' Separatist Powers

During the Anti-Japanese War, many outstanding heroes emerged, not only from the Eighth Route Army, but also from the Kuomintang. At that time, most people thought that the Chinese army that the Japanese army feared most was the Sichuan Army. The Sichuan Army was indeed a powerful force among my country's anti-Japanese armed forces. However, at the beginning of the last century, it was Zhang Zuolin's Fengjun who fought against the Japanese army.

Zhang Zuolin, the king of Northeast China, was the most powerful warlord during the Republic of China. His son was the famous patriotic general Zhang Xueliang. Zhang Zuolin was also a child from a poor family. He served for the Qing army during the Sino-Japanese War of 1884-1894 and later became the leader of the bandits. As his power gradually grew, the Qing government had no choice but to incorporate him into the regular army and officially began his military career. Later, he firmly controlled the Northeast and was known as the Northeast King. He liked others to call him Marshal Zhang.

There were many Japanese in Northeast China at that time, so Zhang Zuolin inevitably had to deal with the Japanese. However, his attitude towards the Japanese was extremely tough and he would not give in an inch of territory. The Japanese tried to woo him many times, but he refused, making the Japanese want to get rid of him. The Japanese want to get rid of him not only because they are afraid of Zhang Zuolin's military strength, but also because as long as Zhang Zuolin is in the Northeast, the Japanese will not be assured of using the Northeast as their base camp.

At that time, the Japanese were very afraid of Zhang Zuolin's military strength. Although Zhang Zuolin was once a bandit, he vigorously developed education and industry, founded many schools, realized the importance of weapons and equipment, and built all the military equipment at that time. Asia's largest arsenal manufactures enough weapons and equipment to equip eight divisions. In addition, they also spent money here to buy aircraft and warships, established a navy, and maintained a tough attitude towards the Japanese, refusing to give up an inch of territory.

There are many stories about Zhang Zuolin's fight against the Japanese. Once, the Japanese Kwantung Army killed several soldiers who served in the army. The Japanese thought it was a trivial matter and directly threw 5,000 Kwantung coupons to Zhang Zuolin. How could Zhang Zuolin be insulted like this? He directly ordered Fengjun to kill the Kwantung Army in revenge, and also threw 5,000 Kwantung coupons to the Japanese. From this incident, it can be seen that Zhang Zuolin hated the Japanese, and made the Japanese think that as long as Zhang Zuolin is around, Northeast China cannot become Japan. The base camp. The idea of ??getting rid of him came up, and then the Japanese placed an undercover agent beside him. When Zhang Zuolin returned to Fengtian from Beijing, he was killed by a bomb from the Kwantung Army.

Zhang Zuolin knew Japan's strength and knew that the power of the Feng faction could not confront Japan as a whole, so he could only adopt a policy of appeasement.

Not only did Marshal Zhang have strong military command capabilities, but he was also a seasoned politician politically. He refused or did not respond to many Japanese requests to sell out China's sovereignty.

Zhang Zuolin (March 19, 1875 - June 4, 1928), courtesy name Yuting, Han nationality, was born in Haicheng City, Liaoning Province today. His nickname is Lao Daza, and he is known as "Dashuai Zhang". Haicheng City was not a city at that time, but a village. Therefore, Zhang Zuolin, like most Chinese, was born in the countryside. Zhang Zuolin, who was born in a poor peasant family, participated in the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1894 and later joined the green forest. His power grew so strong that the Qing government was unable to conquer it, so it recruited him. .

We can’t help but imagine what a powerful person Zhang Zuolin is! Zhang Zuolin assisted the Qing government in wiping out Du Lisan and other bandit forces, and later eliminated the troubles, safeguarded national unity, and gradually rose up the ranks. He successively served as the governor of Fengtian and the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces. He was known as the "King of the Northeast" and became the leader of the Beiyang Army.

It can be said that every step Dashuai Zhang takes is steady and sure, and his whole body exudes the down-to-earth and hard-working qualities unique to rural people. After the victory of the Second Zhili-Fengtian War, Zhang Zuolin entered Beijing and served as Marshal of the Army and Navy. He exercised ruling power on behalf of the Republic of China and became the supreme ruler of the country. During his reign, he repeatedly resisted the Japanese attempts to win over him and refused to sign a traitorous treaty. In 1928, Zhang Zuolin was forced to return to Northeast China due to unfavorable fighting conditions on the front line. On the way, he was seriously injured by explosives planted by the Japanese Kwantung Army. He died after being returned to his official residence in Shenyang that day.

After Zhang Xueliang inherited his father's position, he fully supported the Nanjing National Government led by Chiang Kai-shek. After that, Chiang Kai-shek won the Central Plains War with the help of Zhang Xueliang. Then he mainly concentrated his forces to encircle and suppress the Red Army, and had no time to take into account Japan's territory in China. Ambition.

During the September 18th Incident in 1931, Zhang Xueliang was still ordered not to resist and to voluntarily withdraw from Northeast China.

Chiang's purpose for doing this was: first, to concentrate on encircling and suppressing the Red Army and avoiding war with Japan; second, to weaken the strength of the Northeastern Army. In fact, the Northeast Army at that time was managed by two generations of Zhang and his son. It was well-equipped with advanced equipment from Germany, Japan, the United States and other countries. It also had its own arsenal and more than 100 military aircraft; it was well-trained and equipped with advanced equipment from Germany, Japan, the United States and other countries. Its combat effectiveness is comparable to Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army; in 1930, Zhang Xueliang announced that the Northeast Army would enter the customs to support Chiang Kai-shek and quickly ended the Central Plains War. This is the best example.

Before the September 18th Incident, the Japanese Kwantung Army stationed in Northeast China only had more than 10,000 people. At that time, the Northeast Army had more than 300,000 regular troops and nearly 200,000 local security forces and police. If Zhang Xueliang insists on resisting, Northeast China will not fall to the enemy overnight and will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Japanese invaders. Due to Zhang Xueliang's lack of political experience, he was used by Chiang Kai-shek, which led to the fall of Northeast China. The direct consequence was to provide a strategic base for the Japanese invasion of North China. A large number of equipment, personnel and abundant resources of the Northeast Army were obtained by Japan, which expanded the strength of the Kwantung Army.

Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek had always insisted that "to fight against foreign aggression, we must first pacify the internal situation." As a result, Japan's invasion did not encounter effective resistance, which allowed the Kwantung Army to do whatever it wanted before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. However, Zhang Zuolin was During their reign, the Japanese were not too arrogant, let alone doing whatever they wanted.

Zhang Zuolin was able to bend and stretch, and gave small Japan small favors in exchange for support from the Japanese to strengthen his own power. He and the Japanese had a relationship of mutual use. Japan wanted Zhang Zuolin to serve as a puppet regime and devour the Northeast, and Zhang Zuolin was born as a thieves in the green forest. , making good use of Jianghu means, verbally agreeing to many interests, but actually evading and perfunctory. When Zhang Zuolin was being defeated by the Northern Expeditionary Army, Japan took advantage of the situation. Zhang Zuolin did not recognize those treaties at all, so the Kwantung Army spy agency blew up Zhang Zuolin in Huanggutun. Zhang Zuolin died for his country
