As we all know, Zhang Zuolin can become the famous king of the northeast, in addition to having the help of seven brothers with different surnames, he is also inseparable from the assistance of one person, this person is Yang Yuting. This person is known as Xiao Zhuge and is the first think tank under Zhang Zuolin, but after Zhang Zuolin's death, Zhang Xueliang was the first to kill Yang Yuting, what made Zhang Xueliang kill him?
Speaking of which, mainly because Yang Yuting committed three taboos, let's first talk about the first, Yang Yuting was born in 1885 in the Snake Mountain Ravine in Faku County, Shenyang, Liaoning Province, he is an authentic northeasterner, because he has been brilliant since childhood, he was admitted to the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School at the age of 16, after abolishing the imperial examination, he was admitted to the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School at the age of 20.
As soon as he graduated, Yang Yuting returned to the northeast and entered the military circles, Zhang Zuolin appreciated his talents, so he transferred him to be the chief of staff of the Twenty-seventh Division, assisting himself in gradually opening up the political and military situation in the northeast, after which Yang Yuting became a red man around Zhang Zuolin, who was nicknamed "Little Zhuge Ge".
Yang Yuting Wenzhi martial arts are very good, both can fight soldiers and good at manipulating power, Zhang Zuolin has his assistance, and soon controlled the whole province of Fengtian, in the process of Zhang Zuolin's development, Yang Yuting played a very important role, without Yang Yuting, Zhang Zuolin could not have become the king of the northeast so quickly.
With great contributions, coupled with great prestige in the Feng army, Yang Yuting began to be arrogant and self-assured, blind to everything, in 1928 after Zhang Zuolin was killed in Huanggutun bombing, Zhang Xueliang took charge of the northeast and began to rectify the reform, when Yang Yuting tried to influence the political situation as the elder of the northeast, contrary to Zhang Xueliang.
Since ancient times, there is an old saying, called the power of the gong gao zhen lord, although Yang Yuting is loyal to Zhang Zuolin, but he and Zhang Xueliang have indissoluble contradictions, which doomed him to a good end, which is also the fundamental reason why Yang Yuting was killed in the future.
Speaking of the second taboo, Yang Yuting's personality, although Yang Yuting has made a lot of contributions to the expansion of the Fengjun, he himself has a big problem, that is, he is proud of his achievements and has empty eyes, Yang Yuting's desire for power is too strong, he is also arbitrary, and he often thinks of himself as the second in command of the Fengjun Army, not only disobeying orders on the battlefield, but also embezzling military salaries and privately expanding his power, because of this, Zhang Zuolin twice dismissed him from his official post.
Because of this personality, Yang Yuting had contradictions with many generals of other factions of the Northeast Army, such as Tang Yulin, Sun Liechen, and others, who did not look at them at all, and still thought that these people were tubaozi, and Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling, who were also in disagreement with his political views, often tit-for-tat, and even Han Dechun and Jiang Dengxuan, who he had promoted himself, also opposed him.
Zhang Zuolin had some patience with Yang Yuting before he died, he knew that it was not easy to fight in Jiangshan, and he was not willing to kill such a talent, but Zhang Xueliang, who grew up with a golden spoon, was different, Yang Yuting's personality he could not bear, especially after the incident of the defeat and killing of his mentor Guo Songling against fengbing, which made him have always had a thorn in his heart, and as a result, Yang Yuting was schadenfreude on the side, Zhang Xueliang looked at him and was more and more disgusted with him.
The last taboo is reflected in Yang Yuting's attitude towards Zhang Xueliang, Yang Yuting is 16 years old, has always regarded himself as Zhang Xueliang's elder, does not put Zhang Xueliang in his eyes, once Zhang Xueliang slept lazily and did not work, Yang Yuting even ran to Zhang Xueliang's bedroom and blew him out.
Perhaps in Yang Yuting's eyes, Zhang Xueliang is a humble boy who can't afford to support, who doesn't learn any skills, but Zhang Xueliang is obviously not an Adou, at least in commanding the Northeast Army, he is capable, when Zhang Zuolin was alive, Zhang Xueliang did not dare to move Yang Yuting, but he already had mustard in his heart.
The Japanese launched the Huanggutun incident, Zhang Xueliang directly became the ruler of the northeast, then Yang Yuting's position was very embarrassing, although he was quite authoritative in the northeast army, but Zhang Xueliang had long regarded him as a nail in the eye, and Zhang Xueliang had just ascended to the throne, not only Yang Yuting did not obey him, those uncles and uncles who followed Zhang Zuolin to fight the world also looked down on this little sixth son, Zhang Xueliang wanted to establish his prestige, he had to kill chickens and scare monkeys, and Yang Yuting was exactly this chicken. On January 10, 1929, Yang Yuting was killed in the Tiger Hall, and this outstanding military figure in the Northeast Army withdrew from the stage of history in advance.
No matter what reason Zhang Xueliang killed Yang Yuting, his death is a great loss to the northeast, which also accelerated the outbreak of the September 18 Incident, if Yang Yuting is still alive, it will make the Japanese have scruples, and Yang Yuting will never obey Zhang Xueliang's order not to resist, he will stubbornly resist to the end, and will never give the territory he has operated for many years to the Japanese.
