In recent years, Zhang Zuolin, the warlord of the Republic of China in the northeast, has been mentioned more and more, and many people have been able to understand that period of history and some legendary past events of that special period.
Zhang Zuolin
Zhang Zuolin was born into poverty, participated in the Sino-Japanese War, worked as a groom, and later became a bandit. After the Qing court recruited Zhang Zuolin, he helped the Qing court to build a great contribution, and was known as Zhang Zuolin 'King of the Northeast".
Zhang Zuolin was very close to the Japanese at the beginning, but he had a bottom line, and for the Japanese, he only used it, not close it. Of course, the Japanese also know that these things are known to everyone and use each other to expand their influence. Japan's prime minister at the time once said that Zhang Zuolin was using Japan to expand his influence.
And the purpose of the Japanese, not to mention, Zhang Zuolin holds the military and economic power of the three eastern provinces, and all the activities of the Japanese must pass through Zhang Zuolin's eyelids. Therefore, in the three eastern provinces, they must curry favor with Zhang Zuolin.
Zhang Zuolin and many Beiyang warlords looked down on the Japanese from their bones, and they knew the face and ultimate purpose of the Japanese devils. Zhang Zuolin himself could not unite with the Japanese, he wanted to develop himself, and then he would never have anything to do with the Japanese again.

However, Japanese devils are nosy and often provocative. At that time, near Fengtian, in a place called Xinminfu, there was a brothel opened by the Japanese. This Japanese brothel is mainly to serve Japanese soldiers, of course, many local soldiers in the northeast often go to play, exchange Chinese and foreign cultures and so on.
Once, in the brothel of Xinminfu, several Northeastern soldiers and the Japanese got into an argument, and the Japanese devils were very arrogant and killed two Northeastern soldiers in succession. Zhang Zuolin was very angry when he heard about it, and dared to spread wilderness in Lao Tzu's territory, and asked my brother first!
Zhang Zuolin was furious and went directly to the place where the Japanese steward asked for explanations. Who knows, the Japanese arrogantly said, "Well, we will compensate you for five hundred taels of silver." Zhang Zuolin was completely on fire after listening to it, wasn't this just a matter of sending for food?! Am I zhang Zuolin short of those five hundred taels of silver!?

In this way, the two sides dispersed without joy, and Zhang Zuolin's head did not return. After returning home, Zhang Zuolin asked the soldiers to assemble, and the soldiers at this time were also very angry, Zhang Zuolin said: "Today is a holiday, you go to the street, you can kill the Japanese when you see them, and something happens to me!" ”
The soldiers were already on fire, and their brothers were killed by the japanese from outside, how disgusting. Soon, they found two Japanese and killed them without saying a word. The Japanese were dumbfounded and quickly found Zhang Zuolin.
Zhang Zuolin said without hurrying, don't you think that human life is worthless? What I have is money, five hundred taels of silver for a person, you take it, I will kill it. Only then did the Japanese realize their disrespect, hurriedly apologized, and then walked away in disgrace.
Huanggutun Incident
This matter, let the Japanese know, Chinese is not a shrunken-headed turtle, just as bad to mess with. It is also possible to let the Japanese know that in the northeast they do not have the ability to run amok. However, it also made the Japanese more and more feel that Zhang Zuolin was a great threat, which triggered the later Huanggutun Incident.
