When it comes to the northeast of modern history, we have to mention Zhang Zuolin. Originally, Zhang Zuolin was just a bandit leader, and after being recruited by the Qing court, he became a warlord leader in the northeast. Zhang Zuolin's political mind is very flexible, and he uses many thunderous means at home and abroad, and eventually becomes the actual head of the three eastern provinces.
During his reign in the three eastern provinces, two kinds of forces appeared in the Feng army, one was the old-school force headed by Zhang Zuolin, and the other was the new faction of Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling. Although these two forces are politically opposed, they are still loyal to Zhang Zuolin, after all, this Zhang Xueliang is Zhang Zuolin's eldest son.
With the influence of the political situation, the thinking of new China and new culture lingered in Guo Songling's mind. Finally, on November 23, 1925, Guo Songling led the 70,000 elites of the Feng clan he had trained to launch an anti-Feng war. Although this battle seems to be a civil war, it is actually a conflict between the new and the old for many years. Because of the difference in political views, this battle was launched.
Guo Songling's troops broke through the jinzhou city at that time, and prepared to march to Fengtian, the political center of the three eastern provinces at that time, ready to defeat Zhang Zuolin's old nest in one fell swoop and completely change the regime. Seeing that Guo Songling was about to succeed, it only took a short time for the war to end with Guo Songling's defeat. He was also executed by firing squad.
Speaking of Guo Songling's success and death, it has a great relationship with Zhang Xueliang. This Guo Songling was originally a patriot who wanted to join the Qing government and revolutionary forces to contribute to the country. However, the Qing government at that time had already perished, and the protector of the revolutionary army had also failed, and Guo Songling, who had no choice but to return to his hometown of Fengtian.
At that time, Zhang Zuolin was running the Army Lecture Hall of the Three Eastern Provinces, planning to train a new group of brave and good warriors. At this time, Guo Songling passed the introduction of his friends and became an instructor of the Lecture Hall, and thus met Zhang Xueliang, a nobleman of his life. In the context at that time, due to Zhang Xueliang's special status, all the instructors were more tolerant of him, only Guo Songling was strict with Zhang Xueliang, which was one of the reasons why Zhang Xueliang could become a generation of young marshals later.
Guo Songling, who had spent several years abroad, knew that the current country was in a situation of devastation and corruption, and he also passed on this idea to Zhang Xueliang. It was precisely because zhang Xueliang was inspired by Guo Songling that he later chose Yi Zhi with Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist military government, thus realizing the reunification of the country.
At first, Guo Songling was in the limelight, and he not only trained the army with a very "bandit temperament" in an orderly manner, but also made it a powerful force in the Feng army at that time. Guo Songling's performance made Zhang Zuolin at that time fully appreciative, so he made him Zhang Xueliang's "auxiliary minister" to help Zhang Xueliang grow step by step.
Later, because of the outbreak of the Zhifeng War, Zhang Zuolin's troops except Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling's troops persisted, and all other troops collapsed. This also made Zhang Zuolin very anxious about the situation of the Fengjun army in the northeast, so he made a big move, helping Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling to a high position, and the gap between the new faction and the old faction also began.
Although this Guo Songling is very talented in military terms, he has a very fatal flaw, that is, arrogance and arrogance. Among the senior generals of the Northeast Army at that time, except for Zhang Xueliang, he could not talk to anyone, giving people the feeling that they all owed him money. Therefore, this Guo Songling has a nickname, called "Guo Devil".
After Guo Songling rebelled at that time, Zhang Zuolin sent Zhang Xueliang to the front line to persuade Guo Songling to strike the army and make peace, who knew that Guo Songling did not want to see Zhang Xueliang again. Forced, Zhang Xueliang played a cruel trick, and he used the air force to drop many leaflets over Guo Songling's unit, exposing Guo Songling's wolf ambitions.
At this time, Guo Songling's ally Li Jinglin, under the mediation of Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xueliang, finally chose to fall to Zhang Xueliang's side, and he directly stopped the transportation of Guo Songling and grain and grass equipment and equipment, and refused to send troops to aid Guo Songling. At that time, the weather was already very cold, and more than 60,000 soldiers were detained from their winter uniforms and grain and grass, which made Guo Songling's situation very passive.
Conclusion: Not only that, because Guo Songling's troops had no supply of grain, grass and equipment at this time, and secondly, Zhang Xueliang's leaflets had already had a great impact on the morale of this unit, because they had already begun to mutter, although this team was led by Zhang Zuolin, but the supreme ruling power was Zhang Xueliang's, not guo devil's.
In the end, Guo Songling ended in failure and was shot and executed. Although Guo Songling had military talent, he did not have the heart to save people, and even put Zhang Xueliang, who he had supported with one hand, into a situation of unkindness and injustice, and two-sided embarrassment. Although Guo Songling was a patriot, his defeat had already been doomed from the beginning of his uprising.
