There is a saying that goes like this: "The more ripe the ears of rice, the more they know how to bend." This sentence applies to ancient and modern China and foreign countries, applies to everyone's journey, and applies to everyone's growth.
In ancient times, when doing things under the emperor and exerting wisdom, we must also learn to hide clumsiness, and the power is monstrous or too good, which is likely to lead to the disaster of killing, but under appreciation, it is a strong jealousy.
For example, in the palace fight drama, the more the family behind him is brazen, the concubine's court road is often not smooth.
The same is true when soldiers are in chaos, and when doing things under others, we must learn to "hide our clumsiness" and do not be arrogant, otherwise we will show too much ambition and provoke those in power many times, and we will often end up in a tragic end, yang Yuting is like this.
Since the death of Zhang Zuolin, the marshal of the Northeast Zhang, was designed by the Japanese, his son Zhang Xueliang took over the position of commander-in-chief of the Northeast.
At that time, the idea of Yang Yuting, a "great general" who was heavily valued by his father Zhang Zuolin, wanted to monopolize power, and Zhang Xueliang, who was based on it, had the heart to eradicate it.
Before killing him, Zhang Xueliang chose a more superstitious method - throwing silver dollars to decide Yang Yuting's life and death. The last several times the silver dollar showed the "dead" side, and finally Zhang Xueliang executed Yang Yuting.
Yang Yuting is a very talented person, and because of this, Zhang Zuolin was very important to him when he was alive. But he is a man of arrogance and pride, and his ambition and talent coexist and coexist.
When it was, every general would manage a unit, and Yang Yuting, who had high hopes, was not satisfied with it. He secretly embezzled more than three million yuan in military expenses to improve the strength of his troops.
You must know that these three million yuan is not a small amount, but a huge amount. The disappearance of this huge amount of money naturally attracted the attention of the grand marshal Zhang Zuolin, and after several investigations, it was finally found that the "culprit" was Yang Yuting.
Zhang Zuolin, who was extremely angry, publicly deprived Yang Yuting of all military powers, but just a few months later, Zhang Zuolin invited Yang Yuting over again. Because Yang Yuting is indeed a talented person, Zhang Zuolin's handling of many military affairs is inseparable from him.
Yang Yuting, who knew that Zhang Zuolin could not do without him, became more arrogant, but at that time, he still had the "original intention" and did not have the heart to monopolize power, because he also knew that all his achievements today were inseparable from Zhang Zuolin's care.
Therefore, Yang Yuting, who remembered this kindness, has been conscientiously helping Zhang Zuolin handle military affairs during Zhang Zuolin's reign. He also helped Zhang Zuolin eliminate many people with ghost fetuses, so Yang Yuting was also full of merit and respected in the army.
However, when the grand marshal Zhang Zuolin died, Zhang Xueliang succeeded to the throne. At that time, Yang Yuting, who was in the middle of the day, lacked a sense of respect for Zhang Xueliang, who was still young, and did not pay attention to Zhang Xueliang at all.
Zhang Xue's conscience already had dissatisfaction and anger.
Since the death of his father Zhang Zuolin, Yang Yuting has been in control of power in zhang Xueliang's hands. Zhang Xueliang was justified and was supported by everyone to inherit the position of commander-in-chief, but he could not consolidate his power, which made Zhang Xueliang very annoyed.
Coupled with the differences in the ideological consciousness of Yang Yuting and Zhang Xueliang, they often cannot cooperate happily and always disperse unhappily. The estrangement in the hearts of the two people who were not happy has long been deeply rooted, and the smooth progress of military affairs is also very difficult.
Yang Yuting also executed Zhang Xueliang's early mentor, which made Zhang Xueliang furious. In Zhang Xueliang's view, Yang Yuting can not put his mentor in his eyes, what else can he not do?
Of course, these are not the most important, the most important fuse is because Yang Yuting is a pro-Japanese faction. As a pro-Japanese faction, Yang Yuting was also very covetous of the regime in the northeast, and Zhang Xueliang, who could not bear it, executed him for treason.
Let's go back to the day When Yang Yuting was killed. In 1929, Yang Yuting brought a document for Zhang Xueliang to sign, and Zhang Xueliang knew that under this document, there were threats and orders hidden deep inside.
Everyone in power can't stand the prey on his place and tries to control everything. Therefore, Zhang Xueliang really gave birth to a killing heart.
In order to make his plan successfully completed, Zhang Xueliang did not fight grass and snakes, but also arranged a table of "Hongmen Feast". He pretended to want to have a good discussion with Yang Yuting about the specific content, and let Yang Yuting walk into the large net he had carefully laid out without warning.
When Yang Yuting went to the banquet as promised, the soldiers who had already ambushed him arrested him. Zhang Xueliang stepped forward and took out a silver dollar, he told Yang Yuting that his life and death decision was on this silver dollar, if it was positive, Yang Yuting would die, if it was negative, he could let Yang Yuting have a way to live.
Zhang Xueliang threw it many times, and the silver dollar showed the "dead" side, and finally he said that the fate of heaven was difficult to violate, and Yang Yuting was immediately executed.
Afterwards, Zhang Xueliang expressed great surprise, he had spoken publicly about this matter many times, and after this incident, Zhang Xueliang began to become very superstitious.
To say why Zhang Xueliang decided Yang Yuting's life and death by throwing silver dollars, there are several reasons.
First, Zhang Xueliang's heart was still a little shaken, after all, Yang Yuting was indeed a talented general. He strengthened his resolve by throwing silver dollars.
Second, Yang Yuting is very superstitious, Zhang Xueliang has controlled him, and he has already made a determination to kill him. He was just like a hunter, teasing his prey with his most superstitious style before it died.
Third, the result of just throwing silver dollars is not enough to execute Yang Yuting, what makes Zhang Xueliang really have a murderous heart is that Yang Yuting's "ambition" has been revealed to the point that he cannot continue to endure, the two have long had a deep suspicion, Yang Yuting killed Zhang Xueliang is only a matter of time.
But in fact, Yang Yuting's death was a huge loss for Zhang Xueliang. At a very urgent moment in the war, Zhang Xueliang was short of talents with military talent, and his execution of Yang Yuting was indeed equivalent to cutting himself off a major general.
Zhang Xueliang and Yang Yuting undoubtedly both admired power, and Yang Yuting forced himself to die because he coveted power and status. Zhang Xueliang, because he was too concerned about his own position and power, did not think too much about the situation at that time, and directly executed Yang Yuting, causing himself heavy losses.
However, Zhang Xueliang made a choice earlier. After all, a mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and under the fight between two ambitious tigers, they will definitely lose both. In the era of war and chaos, infighting is the most taboo thing. However, the timing of Zhang Xueliang's killing of Yang Yuting was really not very suitable.
Like Yang Yuting, if he is loyal to his position, loyal to his duties, and cannot afford extra greed, perhaps he will have more good days. If he is at ease to assist Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Xueliang will definitely treat him kindly.
