On the morning of June 4, 1928, Zhang Zuolin returned to Shenyang from Beijing. Passing near Huanggutun Station, he was killed by explosives planted in advance by the Japanese. Soon, Zhang Xueliang, supported by various forces, especially Zhang Zuoxiang and other old ministers, became the commander-in-chief of the security of the three eastern provinces and began to take charge of the power of the feng clan to rule the northeast.
Yang Yuting, as the premier and most important minister of the Feng clan, had long been suspected of cheating the lord, and he had a vendetta against Zhang Xueliang's harmful teacher (Guo Songling), so many people were worried about Yang's fate and reminded him to retreat in a hurry, but since the ancient liangyan was difficult to persuade the ghost to die, Yang Yuting finally fell under the muzzle of Zhang Xueliang's lieutenant.
Outsiders advise, do not listen
After Zhang Zuolin's death, Zhang Xueliang urgently returned to the northeast from Beiping, and the 3rd and 4th Armies of the Feng Army, which remained in the Pingjin area, were handed over to Yang Yuting. At that time, Yu Xuezhong had just transferred from Wu Peifu's department to the Feng Department, and as a bystander, he once advised Yang: "Do it yourself, otherwise the trouble will not be far away!" Yang Xiao replied: "Taking advantage of the danger of others is disloyal to others." After fengjun moved to Shanhaiguan, Yu Xuezhong once again reminded Yang to quickly break away from The Feng clan to avoid disaster, but was also refused.
Madame advised, did not listen
After the Feng army withdrew to Guanwai, a few Elders of the Feng clan advised Yang to go abroad and temporarily leave the Feng clan for a period of time, at which time the French government had clearly welcomed Yang to live. Yang Yuting's wife, Yang Zhang Xiushan, also advised him: "When the old marshal dies, Yang will be suspected of being a hero and a high-ranking lord, and it is dangerous to continue to work, so don't hold any more positions." Some people use Zhang Zuolin's death as a metaphor: "The old marshal was killed because he did not listen to the Japanese." You are now a sage of your neighbors, a vendetta against your enemies, and you are bound to encounter the unexpected. ”
Cronies advise, do not listen
He Zhuguo, commander of the 23rd Division of the Fengjun Provisional Division, and Yang Yuting, who were classmates of the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School and had close relations with each other, also advised Yang: "You are familiar with history, and there are many things in history that can be learned. The Lord is less suspicious of the country, the neighboring countries are easy to invade, the merits are high, and the Lord is afraid of danger in times of peace. And gave Yang an ancient poem "Zhou Gong feared rumors on the day, when Wang Mang was humble and unworthy; If he dies in that year, who knows the truth or falsity of his life. ”
Be confident and open-minded
However, Yang Yuting believed that he had never grasped military power, although Zhang Zuolin recommended many people to stay in Japan during the era, but fengjun himself did not even directly appoint officers at the regimental commander level, and military power was always in the hands of Zhang Xueliang's Shaozhuang faction and Guo Songling's Luda faction, so there was no situation of shaking and suppressing the lord, and all these persuasions of others were laughed at.
However, the fact was not based on Yang Yuting's cognition, at about 8 p.m. on January 10, Zhang Xueliang, who had just taken power, sent someone to shoot Yang Yuting to death in the Tiger Hall of the Shuai Mansion.
