During the Republic of China period, warlords everywhere had "three more": more guns, more money, and more aunts.
As the largest warlord in the northeast, Zhang Zuolin is naturally not far behind, there are many guns, more money, more needless to say, there are many aunts and wives, a total of 6 wives have been married.
Among these 6 ladies, the most famous and zhang Zuolin's favorite is the fifth lady Zhang Shouyi, also known as Lady Shou.
Zhang Shouyi was born into a famous family, his father was the famous Qing army general Shoushan general, and it is said that he was a descendant of Yuan Chonghuan, but some people have also verified that Zhang Shouyi's father was not actually General Shoushan, but General Shouchang.
Whether it is Shoushan or Shouchang, it is always Shouyi who was born in a famous family, received a good education since childhood, finished the women's school, and added that people look beautiful, they were married by Zhang Zuolin, and their surname was changed to Zhang.
Zhang Shouyi's cultivation is very good, emotional intelligence is also very high, not only get along with several other ladies very well, with several children are also very harmonious, Zhang Zuolin is both loving and respectful of her, therefore, Zhang Shouyi soon became the head of the family, even Zhang Zuolin praised: "The fifth lady is a person who can take on big things." ”
Not only is it a family affair, but in external activities, such as visiting officers and soldiers and meeting foreign guests, Zhang Zuolin also often takes Zhang Shouyi with him, and Zhang Shouyi does not fight for Zhang Zuolin's face. It is precisely because of this that Zhang Zuolin specially built two villas for her in Shenyang, which are now national first-class cultural relics.
After the Huanggutun incident, the dying Zhang Zuolin was carried back home, and several other ladies were frightened and crying, and had no idea, only Zhang Shouyi was very calm, suppressing the grief in his heart, and even if not a single tear fell, he could not leave Zhang Zuolin's side.
When Zhang Zuolin woke up, he saw Shou Yi and said a few words intermittently: "I am very seriously injured... Quickly call The little sixth son to come back to preside, the northeast can not be chaotic..." Before the words were finished, he died.
However, at that time, Zhang Xueliang was still in the field, although he shot a telegram, but it would take a few days to come back, and at this time, the northeast was in an extremely dangerous situation.
At this time, Zhang Shouyi showed great composure, and she immediately called a meeting of the main figures in the family, decided not to mourn, and strictly kept the news of Zhang Zuolin's death.
The next day, the Marshal's Mansion successively received letters from relevant personnel of foreign consulates preparing to visit, and the japanese consulate lady also came to visit, obviously, she had a purpose, that is, to see if Zhang Zuolin was dead or not.
Zhang Shouyi immediately ordered her to comb her hair, and then let an officer in the guard who had a special accent like Zhang Zuolin enter Zhang Zuolin's room, and after a few words, Zhang Shouyi sat down at the dresser.
When the Lady of the Japanese Consulate came in, she found that She was combing Zhang Shouyi's hair, and Zhang Shouyi beckoned her to sit down while pointing at Her as if nothing had happened.
Zhang Shouyi arranged for yakuza to pour water for the Japanese consul's wife, and then while looking at his hair, he said to the people who came: "The marshal's injury is recovering, there should be no problem, that is, it is a little painful when dealing with the wound, and the old man always scolds the doctor." ”
The Japanese consul's wife listened to the doubts and did not know what happened to Zhang Zuolin, but from the state of the fifth lady, there should be no big problem. However, I didn't see Zhang Zuolin himself, and it was not too convincing to rely on the fifth lady alone to say so.
At this moment, Zhang Zuolin's scolding voice came from the house: Oh, you slow down, a bitch! This voice was clearly heard outside, and it was also clearly heard by the Japanese consul's wife.
At this point, she finally confirmed that Zhang Zuolin was indeed not dead, but was only injured a little, and there was no major problem, so she went back in ashes.
In this way, Zhang Shouyi staged a good play of fighting wits and courage with the Japanese consul's wife, which won valuable time for Zhang Xueliang to rush back to the northeast.
A few days later, Zhang Xueliang rushed back and began to preside over the overall situation in the northeast, and the situation in the northeast was stabilized.
In 1949, Zhang Shouyi was invited by a friend to settle in Hong Kong, and died of illness in 1966 at the age of 68.
