After Zhang Zuolin was killed, Japan dared to send troops, why is this? Just look at his family background
As everyone knows, Japan's aggression against the Asian continent in World War II took China's northeast and Korea as a breakthrough point. Before the Japanese army officially invaded northeast China, a major event occurred in Shenyang, China at that time, that is, the Huanggutun Incident, when Zhang Zuolin, then grand marshal of the Republic of China Army and Navy and the leader of the Fengzhi warlords, was seriously injured in the train and then died on the same day. Although during the time when Zhang Zuolin controlled the northeast, Japan had begun to infiltrate into northeast China, and there were still business contacts with Zhang Zuolin. However, the protagonist of this incident is Japan, which chose to solve Zhang Zuolin by accident first, and then launched a comprehensive invasion of northeast China.
Zhang Zuolin came out of the slums when he was a child, because he had no background and was in the turbulent era of the time. On the one hand, because of the compulsion of life, on the other hand, he wanted to control his own destiny, so Zhang Zuolin became a bandit. However, he did not become a bandit to be the emperor of the evil side, on the contrary, he not only did not rob the people of their money, but in turn protected them. It is precisely because of the kindness of the people that Zhang Zuolin's bandit team has become bigger and bigger, and his reputation has spread not only well in the northeast. Finally recruited by the government, the power is naturally rising, leading the troops to win many battles, coupled with a good reputation, over time to develop into the leader of the Fengjun army, becoming a veritable "King of the Northeast".
During zhang zuolin's reign in the northeast as the leader of the Fengjun army, he vigorously developed the military industry and ordered the construction of the Shenyang Military Factory. Within a few years, the Shenyang Military Factory became bigger and bigger, and the division of labor was even clearer. There are special manufacturing plants for smokeless guns, guns, cannons and artillery shells, as well as various subsidiary factories and mines such as thermal power plants, steelmaking plants, and machine factories. There were all kinds of mechanical equipment and precision instruments inside, and there were nearly 10,000 machine tools at that time. These conditions allow the Shenyang Arsenal to produce a wide variety of weapons, but also a very fast production speed. A steady stream of weapons were supplied to the Fengzhi led by Zhang Zuolin. Due to the emergence of the Shenyang Arsenal, it not only consolidated Zhang Zuolin's position, but also created a number of powerful naval, land and air force for him.
And what Japan was doing at that time, originally wanted to support Zhang Zuolin as a puppet in the northeast, but as a result, these invasion ideas were put on the table later. Zhang Zuolin was strong at that time, and not only did not agree to cooperate with Japan, but even directly resisted Japan. At that time, the people's anti-Japanese parades, one after another emerged, coupled with Zhang Zuolin's unshakable position in the northeast, finally Japan chose to get rid of Zhang Zuolin. With Zhang Zuolin's death, the Fengjun was leaderless, and although Zhang Xueliang was in danger, many generals at that time did not obey him at all. Subsequently, Japan launched an army campaign against northeast China, taking the northeast at a very low cost, and also taking the Shenyang Arsenal, and the weapons that were not opened inside had artillery and heavy machine guns at the front door.
