As a famous warlord of the Republic of China, Zhang Zuolin is not only a representative figure of the Fengzhi warlords, but also a veritable king of the northeast who occupies the northeast. Regarding his descendants, we are most familiar with the young marshal Zhang Xueliang, but few people know about his daughter. Zhang Zuolin had a total of six daughters, most of whom became political victims of Zhang Zuolin and had a very unfortunate life.
Zhang Zuolin's six daughters
Eldest daughter Zhang Guanying: Life after marriage is not happy, and life is difficult in old age
Zhang Guanying, whose original name was Zhang Shoufang, was the daughter of Zhang Zuolin and his wife Zhao Chungui, the sister of Zhang Xueliang, who was born in the twenty-fourth year of Guangxu (1898). After the death of his mother, Zhang Guanying took on the heavy responsibility of taking care of his younger brothers, and Zhang Zuolin married him to Bao Yinglin, the son of Bao Guiqing, the overseer of Heilongjiang.

The marriage between Zhang Guanying and Bao Yinglin is undoubtedly a political marriage, although there is no emotion to speak of, but because the elders of both sides have their own needs, the two have also lived an ordinary married life. However, when Zhang Zuolin was killed by the bombing of the "Huanggutun Incident", Bao Yinglin asked for a divorce from Zhang Guanying.
Due to the influence of traditional feudal thinking, Zhang Guanying never agreed to divorce, but he could not prevent Bao Yinglin from marrying another new person. After the fall of the northeast, Zhang Guanying was displaced with his younger brother Zhang Xueliang; after Zhang Xueliang was imprisoned, Zhang Guanying tried to send a family photo for his brother.

After the founding of new China, Zhang Guanying settled in Beijing, but she was alone and had no financial resources and her life was extremely difficult. When the prime minister learned of this, he specially allocated housing for her and ordered someone to give her regular subsidies, so that Zhang Guanying could spend her old age in peace.
The second daughter, Zhang Huaiying: First marry a stupid Mongolian prince, and then marry her husband and become a traitor
Zhang Huaiying was born to Zhang Zuolin and his second wife, Lu Shouxuan, and was born in the 36th year of Guangxu (1907). Lu Shouxuan is a typical lady, tolerant, gentle, and quite talented, perhaps influenced by her mother, Zhang Huaiying is also kind-hearted and docile.

Later, in order to compete for the support of the Mongol princes, Zhang Zuolin married his second daughter Zhang Huaiying to BaoBu, the son of prince Of Darhan in Mongolia. However, as a prince, Baobu had a serious mental illness, and learned that Zhang Huaiying at this time was crying in 1923, and even committed suicide with scissors on the wedding night, but was fortunately saved by Ya Gui.
Later, Prince Dalhan, who was worried that the accident would not be easy to explain, had to send Zhang Huaiying back to the Shuai Mansion, and Zhang Zuolin built a mansion in Fengtian and took the bag. However, Bao Bu often drank heavily, and after drinking, he beat Zhang Huaiying, and Zhang Huaiying, who could not bear it, really called every day should not be, and the ground was not smart.

After the "Huanggutun Incident", Zhang Huaiying divorced Bao Bu under the auspices of Zhang Xueliang, and later married Chen Youtao, the son of Shanghai celebrity Chen Zhen. In 1938, after the Japanese army occupied Shanghai, Chen Zhen's father and son became traitors, and Chen Zhen was assassinated by the military commander sent by Dai Kasa the following year. After that, Zhang Huaiying settled in Tianjin with his mother Lu Shouxuan and his sister Zhang Huaiqing until his old age.
Three daughters Zhang Huaiyi: Zhang Zuolin's daughter has the best fate
Born in the first year of Xuantong (1909), Zhang Huaiyi, who should be the most fortunate of Zhang Zuolin's daughters, married Zhao Tianci, the son of Zhao Erxun, the editor-in-chief of the Qing History Manuscript. Zhao Erxun was not an ordinary person, but a heavy minister at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and Zhang Zuolin once worshipped him as a righteous father.
Zhang Huaiyi and her husband Zhao Tianci
Zhao Erxun was old enough to have a son, and it was nearly seventy years old that he gave birth to Zhao Tianci, because he was the same age as Zhang Huaiyi, and the two who grew up together from childhood were also considered to be green plum bamboo horses. Later, Zhao Erxun consulted with Zhang Zuolin and wanted to set up a doll kiss for Zhao Tianci and Zhang Huaiyi, but Zhang Zuolin believed that although the two children were of the same age, they were one generation apart, and finally rejected this family affair.
After the "Huanggutun Incident", Zhang Xueliang invited Zhao Tianci to Fengtian and took the initiative to marry his sister Zhang Huaiyi to him. Because the relationship between the two has always been relatively good, life after marriage is more harmonious. After the "July 7 Incident", Zhao Tianci and Zhang Huaiyi moved to the United States.
The fourth daughter, Zhang Huaiqing, first married Zhang Xun's foolish son, and settled in Tianjin in her later years
Zhang Huaiqing is Zhang Huaiying's younger sister, and judging from the existing photos, she should also be the most beautiful of Zhang Zuolin's daughters, who was born in the third year of Xuanun (1911). Like her sister, Zhang Huaiqing's fate was also extremely tragic.
Under the auspices of Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Huaiqing was married to Zhang Mengchao, the son of Zhang Xun, the marshal of the "Braid army", and heaven simply made a joke with the sisters, the sister married a neurotic, and the sister's husband Zhang Mengchao was also a mental illness. It can be seen that Zhang Huaiying's married life is not happy at all.
After the "Huanggutun Incident", Zhang Xueliang finally came forward, and Zhang Huaiying was able to get out of the sea of suffering and divorce Zhang Mengchao. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhang Huaiqing and Zhang Huaiying sisters settled in Tianjin, and eventually died of illness in Tianjin in 1992.
Fifth daughter Zhang Huaixi: Went to the United Kingdom to study, and then settled in the United States to live
Zhang Huaixi was the daughter of Zhang Zuolin and the fourth lady, Xu Shuyang, and was born in 1913. She was originally betrothed by Zhang Zuolin to the son of Jin Yunpeng, the premier of the Beiyang government, but soon after the engagement, Zhang Zuolin was killed in the "Huanggutun Incident", and the marriage was not resolved.

In 1935, under the arrangement of Zhang Xueliang, through the mediation of his wife Yu Fengzhi in england at the time, Zhang Huaixi was able to study at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. After the "Xi'an Incident", Zhang Xueliang was imprisoned, Yu Fengzhi returned to China, and Zhang Huaixi was responsible for taking care of Zhang Xueliang's three children in britain.
In 1940, Yu Fengzhi went to the United States for medical treatment due to illness, and Zhang Huaixi went to the United States to visit. The following year, Zhang Huaixi also went to Washington, D.C., and married and had children in the United States, and lived a peaceful life.
Sixth daughter Zhang Huaimin: Married to the son of the former governor of Fengtian Province, she later settled in Taiwan
Zhang Huaimin was the daughter of Zhang Zuolin and the sixth wife, Ma Yueqing, and was born in 1924. When Zhang Zuolin was assassinated, Zhang Huaimin was only four years old, and Zhang Xueliang took on the responsibility of taking care of his little sister. After the fall of the northeast, Zhang Huaimin followed his mother to Tianjin for refuge.
Zhang Huaimin with his son
In 1947, Zhang Huaimin graduated from Fu Jen University in Beijing and later married Zhai Yuankun, the grandson of Zhai Wenxuan, the former governor of Fengtian Province. In 1948, Zhang Huaimin went to Taiwan with his mother to settle down, and then entered Tunghai University in Taiwan as a teacher of home economics. During her tenure, she was also admitted to the Correspondence Program at the University of California, Where she graduated in 1951 and was promoted to associate professor and professor in 1955.
Later, as the Taiwan authorities gradually relaxed their control over Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Huaimin often visited him and sent him many daily necessities. After 1965, because Zhang Xueliang was writing a memoir, Zhang Huaimin often used his spare time to visit and help him organize and ghostwrite.
Zhang Huaimin's later years
Zhang Huaimin often contacted his eldest brother as a secretary during the most difficult period when Zhang Xueliang was imprisoned in Taipei, which was unique among Zhang Xueliang's relatives and the greatest comfort to Zhang Xueliang.
