During the Republic of China period, there were four major officer schools, namely the Whampoa Military Academy, the Baoding Army Officer School, the Yunnan Lecture WuTang, and the Northeast Lecture Wu Tang, and the famous generals of the Nationalist army basically came out of these four military schools.
What I want to tell today is the story of Zhang Xueliang's wutang in the northeast.
Zhang Xueliang was admitted in 1919, the head of the church is Zhang Zuoxiang, the head of education is Xi Qia, the tactical instructor is Guo Songling, all of whom are very close to Zhang Xueliang, and it is conceivable that Zhang Xueliang's entry into the school will definitely be taken very care of.
Sure enough, after Zhang Xueliang enrolled, he took the first place in the first month's examination, and the first place in the second month's examination, and suddenly, the whole school was sensational, and everyone was talking about it.
This is not difficult to understand, if there is such a special person in your school, it will certainly cause controversy, and most people will scoff: isn't he the son of so-and-so? If there is no cheating, can he take the first place?
Education Chief Xiqia saw that the situation was somewhat serious, in order to calm the people's anger, he decided to take the exam again, the scene was out of the question, Zhang Xueliang's seat was changed, and he was not given the space to cheat.
The result? After the test results came out, Zhang Xueliang was the only one with a full score!
At this point, everyone was convinced, and they all said that Zhang Xueliang was indeed a genius, very human!
In his later years, Zhang Xueliang once said to people: "Why did I always take the first place at that time?" Because the people who entered the martial arts hall at that time were all soldiers, rough people, and the culture was not high, only I was a student, plus my memory was very good, and those questions were still very easy for me. Don't look at me now that I'm old, there are some key questions that I can still recite. ”
Zhang Xueliang is indeed a very smart person, if he is not smart, he will not make so many things.
In fact, Zhang Xueliang has a very high vision since he was a child, not an ordinary person, and even Zhang Zuolin said that this child can do great things.
When Zhang Xueliang's mother died, Zhang Xueliang was only 11 years old, and he had an older sister above and a younger brother below. One day, Zhang Zuolin said to Zhang Xueliang: "When your mother died, she left tens of thousands of yuan, all of which are with your sister, and these funds should be divided between the three of you, and you have to go with your sister to get it." ”
Guess what Zhang Xueliang said? He said, "What's that money?" Don't talk about the money, it's your money, I didn't look at it! ”
This sentence stunned Zhang Zuolin, his eyes widened, and he felt that this child was incredible.
Zhang Xueliang then said: "I am a man, I can earn money myself, and I will definitely earn more than you in the future, so you don't have to worry about this." ”
Zhang Zuolin scolded, "Such a big breath! ”
However, although Zhang Zuolin scolded him, he still admired Zhang Xueliang's ambition, and often said to people: "Little Sixth Son can become a big thing in the future!" ”
In fact, Zhang Zuolin wanted Zhang Xueliang to be a literati, and invited several teachers to teach him, but Zhang Xueliangzhi was not here, liked to mix with the soldiers, and when he grew up, he was admitted to the Northeast Lecture Hall.
Before entering the Northeast Lecture Hall, Zhang Xueliang had actually passed the eighth session of the Baoding Army Officer School, and his classmates at the same time as Chen Cheng, Luo Zhuoying, Zhou Zhirou and others, but Zhang Xueliang did not go to the Northeast Lecture Hall, and then transferred to the Northeast Lecture Hall.
By 1922, Zhang Xueliang still had the opportunity to go to the Japanese Army University, and the Japanese side even made an exception for him and allowed him to bring a companion to study. Zhang Xueliang was also full of ambition and wanted to go to the Army University for further study, but unfortunately, the outbreak of the First Zhifeng War brought his study trip to Dongdu abruptly.
Until his later years, Zhang Xueliang said with regret: "If I really went to the Japanese Army University at that time, things would have changed later, and I don't know how to change, but there will definitely be changes." ”
