Zhang Haipeng was born in 1878 in Rehetai Village, Shaling Town, Panshan County, nicknamed Lianxi, born in the green forest, the bandit name "Dalian Zi", because there is a marijuana pit on the forehead, nicknamed "Zhang Cannabis".
Zhang Haipeng and his third brother were falsely accused by the rich lord of Bentun, and they were beaten into confession and sent to prison. Later, due to depression, the third brother died in prison.
At the age of 22, Zhang Haipeng encountered a large gang of bandits from Feng Linge, so he defected to Feng Linge and worshipped "Jinlan" with Feng. Zhang Haipeng's gang grew bigger and bigger, and one winter, Zhang Haipeng led his men to break into the home of the rich man who falsely accused the third brother of rehetai in the dark night, killed 8 in a row, and avenged the third brother.
After killing the rich man's family, Zhang Haipeng thought that only when he was a bandit could he have a way to live, so he recruited bandits everywhere to buy horses, and gradually formed a famous gang of bandits in southern Liaoning.
At the beginning of the last century, Zeng Zigu, the prefect of Xinmin Province, collected all 18 major bandit gangs in southern Liaoning, and Zhang Haipeng was appointed as the commander of the Qing army.
After Zhang Zuolin was called the "King of the Northeast", he divided feng linge and Zhang Haipeng's troops in Jilin Province, with Feng Linge as the division commander and Zhang Haipeng as the deputy division commander.
When Zhang Haipeng was serving as an envoy to Taoliao Town, he was sent by Zhang Xueliang to Harbin as the commander of the Middle East Railway Escort Army.
After the outbreak of the September 18 Incident, the Japanese army bribed Zhang Haipeng and let Zhang lead his troops to invade Qiqihar, and then occupied the Sitao and Taoang railways.
In order to cooperate with the Japanese invasion of Heilongjiang, Zhang Haipeng ordered Xu Jinglong, the commander of the 1st detachment under his command, to lead 3 regiments as the vanguard to attack the Heilongjiang region. When the Japanese army invaded the Nenjiang River Bridge, the anti-Japanese troops of the Northeast Army were ready to launch a blockade attack on the river bridge and strike hard at the arrogance of the enemy.
In May 1933, Zhang Haipeng became the commander of the Pseudorehe Provincial Garrison Headquarters and the governor of pseudorehe Province. Zhang Haipeng was transferred from Rehe to Puyi's side and became the "military attaché chief" of the "emperor".
On March 3, 1941, Zhang Haipeng was dismissed from all duties.
On August 15, 1945, Japan declared its unconditional surrender. When Zhang Haipeng heard the news, he panicked, escaped from Changchun barefoot, and went straight to the home of an old relative in the small fishing village of Wangjiawopu in Jinzhou to hide. However, the small fishing village has a small population that knows each other well and is very sensitive to strangers from other places. Considering that he was easy to be suspected, he only stayed in a small fishing village for 10 days, and then went to a monastery in Lushan Mountain, a medical witch in Beizhen, to live in seclusion.
However, Zhang Haipeng, after all, had been a horseman all his life, and he could not bear the loneliness of the Buddha's Gate, and when he was in his career, he spent more than 100,000 oceans to buy a mansion in Beiping, thinking that it would be better to go there to live this residual life. So he ran to Beiping two years later.
In 1949, Peiping was peacefully liberated. Zhang Haipeng felt that the end was coming, and in tension and fear, he divided the real estate and floating wealth equally among his wives and concubines and children, and because of the dispute over the distribution of family property, his fourth aunt and wife reported to the Beiping People's Government, and Zhang Haipeng was immediately arrested.
When the public security organs interrogated Zhang Haipeng, he took a tough attitude and refused to admit guilt. However, the evidence and physical evidence were conclusive, and the judicial organs finally sentenced him to death for the crimes of traitor and historical counter-revolution, and executed him by firing squad in 1951 at the age of 73 during the zhen rebellion.
