The great name of "King of the Northeast" Zhang Zuolin is known to everyone, giving people the impression of being domineering and domineering, and doing whatever it takes to achieve his goals, but he is quite rational in the face of great national righteousness and great right and wrong, and although he is subservient to the wings of the Japanese, he absolutely does not act as a traitor or betrays the country for glory.
When it comes to Zhang Zuolin and the Japanese "playing sloppy eyes", the most interesting thing is that he plays Fangze Kenji.
Since the boxer rebellion, he had already been a Japanese envoy to China, and in the early 1920s, he was transferred to The Special Minister Plenipotentiary of Peiping, responsible for the conflict between China and Japan. Obviously, Manchurian affairs naturally had to pass through his hands.
On May 17, 1928, Fangze Qianji ran to Zhang Zuolin's home with a document and asked him to sign it. So, what kind of document is this, worth a trip to Yoshizawa Kenji himself?
"Twenty-One" is not unfamiliar to everyone, right? In fact, there is another sister article in the "Twenty-One Articles", that is, the "Manchu-Mongolian New Five-Road Treaty" held by Yoshizawa Kenji, which stipulates that the construction rights of the five transverse railways (Duntu Railway, Yanhai Railway, Taosuo Railway, Dagao Railway, and Jiwu Railway) with Manchuria as the starting point should be fully assigned to Japan.
At that time, the ambitions of the Japanese had already been clearly revealed, and the construction of the railway was nothing more than preparation for a further war of aggression, and it is conceivable that once they obtained the ownership of the five railways, China's communication lines from south to north and from east to west would be penetrated, and the Japanese army could quickly deploy troops.
How could a tyrant like Zhang Zuolin not see the pros and cons? It's just that he has turned to the Japanese many times, and now if he refuses with dignity, I am afraid it is not appropriate, so he directs himself and performs a play.
After getting the documents, Zhang Zuolin asked Fangze Qianji to wait in the living room and ran to the office by himself. After a while, the sound of cursing and smashing vases came from inside the office, and Fangze Qianji, who was separated by a layer of window paper, naturally knew that Zhang Zuolin was angry. After a while, the secretary came out with the document, and secretly instructed Fangze Qianji: "The marshal has signed it, take advantage of the fact that he has not yet repented, hurry up!" ”
Fangze Qianji is well aware of Zhang Zuolin's fiery temper, and originally did not want to stay longer, since he has signed it, is it not easy to slip away?
However, when he returned home and opened the file to see it, he was dumbfounded, and it turned out that Zhang Zuolin only signed one word - "read"!
Fangze Qianji was suddenly angry and confused, and quickly ran back to find Zhang Zuolin to settle the account. However, when he returned to the Marshal's Mansion again, he was told that Zhang Zuolin had already traveled on a business trip!
Needless to say, this must be the set given to him by Zhang Zuolin, and the helpless Fangze Qianji can only eat the dumb loss and leave in sorrow.
To say that Zhang Zuolin and Fang Ze Qianji's enmity is entangled, it is more than this time.
Once, several of Zhang Zuolin's soldiers were killed because of a dispute with the Japanese, and after some negotiations, the Japanese only agreed to compensate 500 silver dollars each. Zhang Zuolin refused to suffer such a loss and threatened to take revenge on the Japanese soldiers, and later this matter also stabbed Fangze Kenji. However, Fangze Qianji did not care too much, in his opinion, Zhang Zuolin still had to rely on their support after all, and did not dare to come hu.
However, it didn't take long for Zhang Zuolin to send someone to arrest and beat the three murderous Japanese soldiers to death, and also compensated 1500 silver dollars, claiming that this was according to the rules of your Japanese! When Yoshizawa Kenkichi learned of this, he was so angry that he could not speak.
Of course, Zhang Zuolin's approach was painful, but on the other hand, Zhang Zuolin's "non-cooperation" also completely annoyed the Japanese, laying the groundwork for his future tragic attack by the Japanese.
