In July 1916, Fengtian City was the most beautiful season of the year, and the Chongming Girls' School along the small river outside the Great East Gate of Fengtian was very lively, because the annual graduation ceremony of the Chongming Girls' School was being held.

Sitting in the middle of the rostrum is Zhang Zuolin, the highest military and administrative officer of the northeast region, and some people have to ask, as the highest official of the northeast region, why did he attend the graduation ceremony of middle school students at a small girls' middle school? This, of course, is related to Zhang Zuolin's experience.
Zhang Zuolin was born on March 19, 1875 in Beixiaowa Village, Haicheng County, Fengtian Province, which is now The West Xiaowatun of Majiafang Village, Driving Palm Temple Township, Panjin City, Liaoning Province.
Zhang Zuolin was born into a poor peasant family since childhood, participated in the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War, and then threw himself into the green forest, and his power grew, and the Qing government was unable to recruit and suppress it. Zhang Zuolin assisted the Qing court in suppressing the bandit forces such as Du Lisan, and later eliminated the Mongolian plague. He successively served as the Overseer of Fengtian and the Inspector of the Three Eastern Provinces, and was known as the "King of northeast China".
At the beginning of 1916, Zhang Zuolin was appointed as the military governor of Fengtian and the envoy of Fengtian Inspector of Shengwu, and after the death of Yuan Shikai on June 6, 1916, Li Yuanhong succeeded him as president and changed Zhang Zuolin to fengtian overseer and governor.
From Zhang Zuolin's experience, we can see that Zhang Zuolin has not read books, but in the chaotic world of China, he has mixed up the wind and water, from which we can see Zhang Zuolin's understanding.
Although Zhang Zuolin did not go to school, he saw the extreme importance of education, so unlike ordinary warlords, he attached great importance to education.
In 1912, when Zhang Zuolin was appointed commander of the 27th Division of the Republic of China Army, he felt that if the northeast wanted to develop, it was necessary to attach importance to education, so he put forward his opinions to the then yuan shikai government to develop education well.
However, Yuan Shikai believes that if education is too developed and the people's cultural level is improved, it will not be conducive to becoming an emperor, so he does not care much about education.
Without Yuan Shikai's support, Zhang Zuolin used his own funds to establish a teacher training institution in the northeast, which can be said to be one of the leaders of the few normal universities in China at that time.
After Zhang Zuolin took charge of the northeast, he vigorously developed the cause of education, and many systems at that time were inclined toward education, and a lot of fiscal revenue was used to build schools, and the punishment was unprecedented for those officials who dared to embezzle the funds invested in education.

Zhang Zuolin's development of education made the Japanese very alarmed, and the Japanese said to Zhang Zuolin that there was no need to develop education in Northeast China, and that it was possible to study at a Japanese university, but Zhang Zuolin was not moved, and he said a sentence when he founded Northeastern University:
Ning raised 50,000 elite soldiers, and also wanted to establish Northeastern University!
Although Zhang Zuolin attached great importance to education, he essentially served his reactionary rule.
Because Zhang Zuolin attaches great importance to education, he tries to participate in other major activities such as the opening and graduation ceremonies of various schools. So in July 1916, when the graduation ceremony of tohoku Shigemei Girls' School was held, he was invited to attend.
As the highest administrator in the northeast region, Zhang Zuolin attended the graduation ceremony of a girls' middle school, which made the girls' middle school flourish, from the principal of the middle school to the ordinary students.
There is an event at the graduation ceremony where student representatives are invited to speak on stage and imagine the future. The name of the representative of the selected student at the girls' high school is Shouyi.
At that time, Shou Yi was only 18 years old, she was tall and tall, her voice was crisp, although she was dressed simply, it was still difficult to hide her distinctive temperament, which immediately attracted Zhang Zuolin's attention.
Zhang Zuolin fell in love at first sight, and he decided to marry this beautiful middle school student to go home. After the graduation ceremony, Zhang Zuolin did not leave as usual, but called the principal of the middle school to the side to ask about Shouyi's situation.
Seeing that Zhang Zuolin was so interested in Shouyi, the principal of the middle school immediately knew Zhang Zuolin's intentions, and Zhang Zuolin loved to marry his aunt and wife, and the principal of the middle school reported on the situation of Shouyi.
Born into a declining aristocratic family, Shou Yi's father died in the war against Tsarist Russia and depended on her mother for her life and education on her meager income from singing.
Under normal circumstances, as Shouyi, it is impossible to enter the girls' middle school, which is related to the positioning of the girls' middle school. Because the students of the girls' high school are either rich or expensive.
Fengtian Chongming Girls' School was founded in 1900 by an English woman with the consent of the Qing Dynasty, located along the small river outside the Fengtian Great East Gate, this school mainly teaches geography, history and English. Its enrollment is mainly for the daughters of wealthy families.

However, Shou Yi is beautiful in appearance and articulate, the school has recruited her out of the box, Shou Yi knows that her learning opportunities are not easy to come by, study very hard, all the homework are among the best, is recognized as a character and excellent character, but also recognized as a school flower, so she as a student representative to speak on stage.
Listening to the principal's introduction, Zhang Zuolin liked and was heartbroken, and his determination to marry her was even stronger. After Zhang Zuolin returned, he immediately ordered someone to take 1,000 oceans to find Shou Yi's home and propose to her.
In those days, a man with three oceans a month was enough to feed himself. The ocean is the hard currency of full silver, not affected by inflation, and a silver ocean is worth about five or six hundred pieces, and one thousand is worth five or six hundred thousand. 1,000 oceans was a great fortune at the time.
Shou Yi as a school flower level figure, although the family environment is not good, but the beautiful beauty has never lacked suitors, and on the other hand, Shou Yi knows that it is not easy for her mother to sing and maintain her life, and insists on sending her to school, she does not want her mother to suffer anymore, she decided in her heart to find a rich, powerful, powerful person.
It is this psychological positioning, so Shouyi rejected many people who courted, and now Zhang Zuolin came to court, which not only surprised Shouyi, but also surprised her.
Because everyone knows that Zhang Zuolin calls the wind and rain, powerful and powerful, although Zhang Zuolin is 41 years old, but can give Shouyi, who lacks fatherly love, an incomparable sense of security, she suddenly feels that those cream students are not enough to see.
Even if a woman is beautiful and capable, she is a woman after all, and a beautiful woman has always been a prisoner of power and wealth, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, and Shouyi is no exception.
Therefore, when Zhang Zuolin first sent someone to ask for relatives, Shou Yi did not hesitate to agree. She also knew that after this village, there would be no next shop.
Soon, a flower palanquin carried Shouyi into Zhang Zuolin's grand marshal's mansion, and Zhang Zuolin spent 1,000 oceans to marry the beautiful Shouyi.
Zhang Zuolin feasted on the guests and gave Shou Yi enough face. While Shou Yi enjoyed the scenery, she also knew the truth that the companion was like a companion of the tiger, not to mention that she was only Zhang Zuolin's fifth aunt.
After Shou Yi married into the Marshal's Mansion, she changed her name to Zhang Shouyi, Zhang Shouyi is a person with knowledge and brains, she carefully analyzed the situation of Zhang Zuolin's first 4 aunts:
Zhang Zuolin's original wife was called Zhao Chungui, this Zhao Chungui was particularly beautiful when she was young, and reasonable, was a rare sage, and was very in place in the handling of interpersonal relations, she often solved problems for Zhang Zuolin and handled the relationship between Zhang Zuolin and his brothers.

However, by the time Zhang Zuolin became famous, Zhao Chungui was already old and yellow, and Zhang Zuolin did not lack women, so it was inevitable that there was a situation of new dislike, Zhao Chungui was very dissatisfied with this, the contradiction between the two deepened, and Zhao Chungui finally died in 1912 in depression.
Zhang Zuolin's second wife is named Lu Shouxuan, she is the daughter of a teacher, and she can be regarded as born in Shuxiang mendi. At that time, Zhang Zuolin was stationed in Beizhen, and Lu Shouxuan was a recognized beauty in Beizhen, and after Zhang Zuolin knew about it, he used tough means to marry her.
Lu Shouxuan knew the book Andari, had a softer temperament, and also took good care of Zhang Xueliang's sister and brother born to Zhao Chungui, so she was quite loved by Zhang Zuolin, and she gave birth to two daughters Zhang Huaiying and Zhang Huaiqing for Zhang Zuolin after marriage.
Although Lu Shouxuan did not give birth to a boy, Zhang Zuolin still loved her very much, and whenever there was a dispute in the backyard, Zhang Zuolin also liked to run to her house.
But with the passage of time, Lu Shouxuan is old and yellow, and she is educated by the old culture, not a new woman, when there are constantly new women appearing around Zhang Zuolin, Lu Shouxuan was snubbed by Zhang Zuolin and gradually put aside. Lu later moved to Tianjin until his death in 1974.
Zhang Zuolin's third lady is called Dai Xianyu, this Dai Xianyu looks very beautiful, and has a strong personality, very strong, before marrying Zhang Zuolin, she already had a marriage contract, Zhang Zuolin married her through strong means.
Because Dai Xianyu has a strong personality, he quarrels with Zhang Zuolin continuously, and he does not even have a child after marriage. The two eventually got into a fight. Later, Zhang Zuolin shot Andi Xianyu's errant brother. The two became strangers from then on, and Dai Xianyu left the Shuai Mansion, cut his hair as a nun, and escaped into the empty door until his death due to illness in 1916.
Zhang Zuolin's fourth wife was called Xu Pengyang, she was a well-known local beauty, Zhang Zuolin saw it in his eyes, and he married into the family. After marriage, the two had two daughters and two sons, Zhang Huaiyi, Zhang Huaixi, Zhang Xuezeng, and Zhang Xuesi.
Xu Pengyang is an approachable person, never pampered and proud, affecting his children, that is, he will never bully people because of the Zhang family's power. After Zhang Zuolin was killed, Xu moved to Tianjin with his children, and later ran to Hong Kong and the United States. After liberation, she moved back to the country until her death in 1976.
That is to say, when Zhang Shouyi married into the Marshal's Mansion, although Zhang Zuolin nominally had 4 aunts and wives, Zhao Chungui had already passed away, and the third aunt, Dai Xianyu, had already left the Marshal's Mansion to cut her hair as a nun, and she heard that she was seriously ill. Only the second aunt Lu Shouxuan and the fourth aunt Xu Pengyang and a large number of children remained.
The second aunt, Lu Shouxuan, and the fourth aunt, Tai Xu Pengyang, had a gentle temperament, and if they were compared to old women, Zhang Shouyi would belong to the new intellectual women. Zhang Shouyi's advantages were soon reflected: young and beautiful, knowledgeable and cultured.
Zhang Shouyi's principle is: respect for the second aunt Lu Shouxuan and the fourth aunt Tai Xu Pengyang, and care for the children twice.
Originally, Zhang Zuolin was also worried that Zhang Shouyi was young and did not understand things, and could not handle all kinds of complicated relationships, but over time, Zhang Zuolin found that Zhang Shouyi handled various relationships well, and the children also liked this young aunt.
Zhang Zuolin put Zhang Shouyi in charge of the Grand Marshal's Mansion and various large and small affairs, and sometimes accompanied Zhang Zuolin to appear in important social occasions, and was an important figure in the backyard of the Grand Marshal's Mansion.
And Zhang Shouyi was very angry, and she gave birth to four sons to Zhang Zuolin: Zhang Xuesen, Zhang Xuejun, Zhang Xueying, and Zhang Xuequan. Soon everyone knew that there was a smart, capable, beautiful and beautiful fifth aunt in the Grand Marshal's Mansion.
After Zhang Shouyi gained power, many relatives, classmates and other relationships came to her to do things, for what she could and did not hurt, she tried her best to do, for the things that could not be done, she would also say clearly, so relatives and classmates evaluated her well.
In 1928, the Huanggutun Incident occurred, Zhang Zuolin was seriously injured, when he returned to Fengtian, he knew that he was dying, the first thing he thought of was Zhang Shouyi, Zhang Zuolin confessed to Zhang Shouyi: Hurry up and call Zhang Xueliang back.
Zhang Shouyi was originally sad to see her husband seriously injured, but she also knew that Zhang Zuolin's injury affected the whole situation, and she immediately made an important decision: to announce that Zhang Zuolin was only slightly injured and did not hinder things, and at the same time privately quickly sent a notice to Zhang Xueliang who was outside the Guanxi.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Zuolin died of serious injuries. In order to find out the news of Zhang Zuolin, the Japanese sent someone to the Marshal's Mansion that night. At this time, Zhang Shouyi was crying bitterly and his expression was very sad.
As soon as she heard that the Japanese were coming to inquire about the truth, she quickly packed up and dressed herself, just like she usually wore a fancy dress to come out to receive. And he appeared to be full of red light, and he talked and laughed with the Japanese.
Zhang Shouyi told the Japanese that the grand marshal had only suffered some skin trauma, was frightened, and was inconvenient to see guests. She also called on the next person to open the champagne and toast with the Japanese, and said that Zhang Zuolin would not die, and there would be great blessings.
When the Japanese saw her like this, they believed her words and did not dare to act rashly, which bought Zhang Xueliang time to return to Fengtian.
After Zhang Xueliang received the news, he disguised himself as a gang man, hid in a train, returned to the Fengtian Marshal's Mansion, and successfully took over the affairs of Zhang Shuai's Mansion, temporarily ensuring the stability of the situation in the northeast.
Zhang Shouyi's superb political wisdom made everyone look at her with astonishment. When the Japanese learned the truth of the matter, they scolded Zhang Shouyi for being too cunning.
From this, we can also see that Zhang Zuolin, as a tyrant in the chaotic world, also has his own superiority, that is, his eyesight is very accurate.
After Zhang Zuolin's death, Zhang Shouyi went to Settle in Tianjin and faded out of the stage of history, and in 1948 she went to Taiwan again until her death in 1966.
