Why is Zhang Zuolin stronger than Sun Chuanfang? This is evident from their attitude towards their aunt
In the era of the Beiyang government, Zhang Zuolin, the king of the northeast, was almost a household name. He went from being a bandit to the ruler of the three northeastern provinces, staging countless legends.
After Zhang Zuolin, another Chinese warlord rose on the southeast coast. He was the famous Southeast King Sun Chuanfang. At that time, Sun Chuanfang stood side by side with Zhang Zuolin and Wu Peifu, and was known as the three giants of the Beiyang warlords.
If Zhang Zuolin, the king of the northeast, is compared with Sun Chuanfang, the king of the southeast, who is stronger? There is no doubt that Zhang Zuolin is slightly better.
As the saying goes, "see the small and know". Let's start with the little things about how they treat their aunts.
"Heroes are sad to be beautiful". In his lifetime, Zhang Zuolin married six wives, and these ladies were like flowers and jade, which could be described as enjoying the blessings of the Qi people. Among the aunts, Zhang Zuolin's favorite third aunt Dai Xianyu, who is born beautiful.
One night, Dai Xianyu's younger brother, Zhang Zuolin's brother-in-law, was drunk outside and went crazy, pulled out a pistol, and shot all the street lamps on the street. Zhang Zuolin was furious when he heard the news and wanted to shoot his brother-in-law.
Dai Xianyu rushed to intercede for his brother. If it is someone else, looking at the face of the beloved aunt, how can you push the boat along the water to be a person, and let the brother-in-law go a horse. But how did Zhang Zuolin answer? He angrily said to the third aunt, "If I spare him, how can I meet the people in Fengtian City?" ”
In the end, Zhang Zuolin ignored the obstruction of the third aunt and shot the unfortunate brother-in-law.
From this incident, we can see that Zhang Zuolin did not allow his family to intervene at all in handling government affairs. In fact, Zhang Zuolin has long formulated strict family rules. Among them, the first is that "it is strictly forbidden for the wife to interfere in political affairs and not to listen to the wind on the pillow." The second is that "it is strictly forbidden for wives to gather in small talk, so as not to breed trouble." Through these house rules, Zhang Zuolin managed the huge team of ladies in an orderly manner.
How does Sun Chuanfang treat her aunt who "made mistakes"?
At that time, Sun Chuanfang also used to be very fond of an aunt named Zhou Peixin. When Zhou Peixin met Sun Chuanfang, she was a student at The Yichang Girls' Normal School in Hubei Province. At that time, Sun Chuanfang led his troops to garrison Yichang. Once, Yichang Girls' Normal School held a graduation ceremony, and the principal asked Sun Chuanfang to award graduation certificates to outstanding graduates.
Sun Chuanfang, a warrior, had no interest in these readings and sat on the stage and slept. At this moment, he heard the principal read the name of "Zhou Peixin", and a beautiful young girl came to him. Sun Chuanfang looked at the female student named Zhou Peixin in front of him, and actually "snapped" a military salute to him, saying: "Miss Zhou, please marry me!" ”
Everyone present was stunned by Sun Chuanfang's actions. Zhou Peixin took a moment and ran down with a blushing face.
After the graduation ceremony, under the mediation of the principal, Zhou Peixin became Sun Chuanfang's aunt. Of course, at that time, Sun Chuanfang was prosperous, young and promising, and had a successful career, and Zhou Peixin was happily married to him and was not wronged.
Sun Chuanfang was a very conservative warlord. He was not accustomed to many new ideas in society. In 1925, when Sun Chuanfang was the commander-in-chief of the combined forces of Zhejiang, Fujian, Suzhou, Anhui and Gansu Provinces, he once ordered that women be prohibited from wearing qipao. In his opinion, the woman wearing the cheongsam exposes her skin, which is offensive.
However, Sun Chuanfang's ban did not even comply with his aunt Zhou Peixin. Zhou Peixin, a woman who had read a new-style school and received Western culture, scoffed at the ban and deliberately put on a cheongsam to show off when she went to Hangzhou Lingyin Temple to worship the Buddha.
Grand Marshal, even his own aunt and wife can't take care of it! Newspapers at that time wrote articles ridiculing. Sun Chuanfang had no choice but to say eight words: "Insiders are difficult to tame, and there is really no good way." "That's it.
It can be seen that Sun Chuanfang is still inferior to Zhang Zuolin in restraining his aunt and wife. Other aspects can be imagined.
