Zhang Zuolin this person, although he was born as a bandit, such a birth is somewhat on the table, but we have to know that Zhang Zuolin can step by step to the position of the King of the Northeast, and also once for a considerable period of time, in the entire north has become a hegemon, indeed has his extraordinary side, in general, Zhang Zuolin This person although not very good, but this person is thick and thin, the intention is very far-reaching, this in the past, is a thing that most people do not have, It is also a feature that his son Zhang Xueliang does not have.
With the demise of the Qing Dynasty, puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, after several years of comfortable life in the palace, was driven out of the palace by Feng Yuxiang and became a masterless person, in the eyes of outsiders, Puyi is actually a person who has been eliminated by the times, and there will be no longer such a title as the emperor, so for Puyi, people do not care too much.
And when Puyi was driven out of the palace, Zhang Zuolin, who was far away in the northeast, can be said to be relatively angry with Feng Yuxiang, mainly because Zhang Zuolin was very clear in his heart, although the Qing Dynasty was gone, Puyi did not seem to be of any use, but the Japanese had been thinking of Puyi, at that time, the northeast already had the Japanese sphere of influence, before Puyi was in the palace, not out, the Japanese were not good at saying anything, but now Puyi was driven out by that old Feng. The Japanese just had the opportunity to take Puyi to the northeast, and if Puyi fell into the hands of Japan and came to the northeast, it would not be a good thing for Zhang Zuolin, the king of the northeast.
Sure enough, Puyi did not take long to go out of the palace, he connected with the Japanese, and soon under the arrangement of the Japanese, went to the northeast, and Puyi actually met with Zhang Zuolin in the northeast, there is a detail here is very interesting, as we said earlier, in fact, Puyi is not an emperor, and Zhang Zuolin was already the king of the northeast at that time, not under his control, it is reasonable to say that seeing Puyi is not a big deal.
However, the real situation is that after Zhang Zuolin saw Puyi, he immediately knelt down and bowed to Puyi, so why did Zhang Zuolin do this?
We can analyze this matter here, and some people may think that this Zhang Zuolin is compared to the old, because after all, he came out of the Beiyang Army, so it is also a very normal thing to kneel when he sees Puyi. However, the author personally believes that Zhang Zuolin knelt down to Puyi at that time, in fact, there is another deeper meaning in it.
We know that at that time in the northeast, the Japanese actually had conflicts with Zhang Zuolin for a long time, and now the Japanese want to support Puyi, Zhang Zuolin knelt down to him after seeing Puyi, this should actually be for the Japanese to see, Zhang Zuolin still knelt down to Puyi, which gave outsiders a feeling that the army would still be loyal to Puyi, so that Zhang Zuolin stood on the same line with Puyi, and the Japanese also stood on the same line with Puyi, so that Zhang Zuolin also made his position clear to the Japanese.
However, we can think about it, in this way, the Japanese are blocked by Zhang Zuolin deadly, because in this way Zhang Zuolin has no essential conflict with himself, and even if he looks at this northeast king again, he will not turn his face with Zhang Zuolin at this juncture, right? This is also a point where zhang Zuolin is more shrewd.
