On June 4, 1928, Zhang Zuolin, the king of the Northeast, was killed in the bombing of Huanggutun; since then, the political career of the Grand Marshal of the Republic of China Navy and Army has come to an end! After Zhang Zuolin's death, this person originally had the most strength to take over Zhang Zuolin's power crutch, why did this person not rebel against the water?
Everyone knows that Zhang Zuolin, the king of the northeast, has seven brothers, namely Ma Longtan, Wu Junsheng, Sun Liechen, Zhang Jinghui, Feng Delin, Tang Yulin, Zhang Zuolin, and Zhang Zuoxiang; among them, when Zhang Zuolin was killed by the bombing, there were only four brothers at that time; only the third feng delin, the fourth Tang Yulin, the fifth Zhang Jinghui, and the eighth Zhang Zuoxiang were left.
Of the remaining four, the only one with the strongest strength and prestige was the old eight Zhang Zuoxiang.
Zhang Zuoxiang was born in Fengtian in 1881, and joined Zhang Zuolin's security team at the age of 20, and was also one of the first batch of original stocks to follow Zhang Zuolin! Because Zhang Zuoxiang is loyal and loyal, he is deeply liked by Zhang Zuolin and marries him as a brother!
Subsequently, he worked hard with Zhang Zuolin, and Zhang Zuoxiang's own strength also continued to rise, successively serving as the commander of the Northeast Army, the 27th Division of the Army, the general counselor of the Fengtian Overseer Bureau, and the chairman of Jilin Province. At the time of Zhang Zuolin's death, Zhang Zuoxiang had more than 100,000 troops in his hands, so why didn't he come out to compete for the position of King of northeast China?
This is because Zhang Zuoxiang, a person, had his own analysis of the overall situation; at that time, Zhang Zuolin's accidental death was very hasty; the situation at home and abroad was changing rapidly, and once Zhang Zuolin died, there would inevitably be chaos in the northeast at this time; there were Japanese and Russians on the sidelines, and inside there were Fengjun Yang Yuting, Tang Yulin, and so on.
At this time, if anyone goes out to compete for the throne of the Northeast King, it will inevitably lead to the disaster of killing, so after weighing it again and again, Zhang Zuoxiang immediately expressed his full support for Zhang Xueliang to take over as the new King of the Northeast after the Huanggutun incident!
Subsequently, Zhang Zuoxiang served as an auxiliary minister, did the Fengtian Senatorial Council, and later vigorously advocated "northeast Yizhi", thus stabilizing the situation in the northeast!
epilogue:
Zhang Zuoxiang, this person, is not only indifferent to fame and fortune; he also understands the great righteousness; it can be seen from these few things:
First, because of the shortage of military salaries, Zhang Zuolin was preparing to plant opium in the northeast to solve the problem of shortage of military salaries; this matter was strongly opposed by the eighth brother Zhang Zuoxiang, who said: Although opium has huge profits, it is a drug and is too harmful to society and the country; under his strong opposition, this matter has failed!
Second, never greedy, Zhang Zuolin repeatedly wanted to promote Zhang Zuoxiang to Fengtian when he was alive, but he politely refused! Moreover, after Zhang Zuolin's death, he wholeheartedly assisted his son, without any thoughts.
Third, deeply aware of the great national righteousness, after the Northeast Army lost The Northeast because of September 18, the Japanese repeatedly asked him to come out as an official, but he indignantly refused, resolutely refused to do things for the Japanese, and resolutely did not commit adultery!
Finally, in October 1948, the People's Liberation Army conquered Jinzhou, Zhang Zuoxiang was captured by the People's Liberation Army, lin Zong learned of it, and quickly ordered Zhang Zuoxiang to be released and personally apologized; a few months later, Zhang Zuoxiang died of illness in Beijing at the age of 68.
Throughout Zhang Zuoxiang's life, the first half of his life assisted Zhang Zuolin to lay the northeast, and sat all the way to the northeast king and the grand marshal of the navy and army; the second half of his life devoted himself to anti-Japanese activities and tried his best to save the country; so after his death, Zhang Zuoxiang also received the respect he deserved in the history of northeast China!
