According to the "Study of Bandits in Henan during the Republic of China Period", after the founding of the Republic of China, due to political corruption, warlord scuffles, class oppression, frequent natural disasters and other reasons, the social order was out of control and turbulent, and the vast number of poor peasants were forced to take risks for their lives and gathered as bandits.
According to the records of the bandit situation in the Republic of China period, it can be seen that Henan is an area with a very serious bandit situation, and in this area, there is a giant bandit, he is Zhang Qing.
However, this giant bandit has been brashing for many years, so why did no officers and soldiers dare to go on a crusade against him? And why did a giant bandit like Zhang Qinghe end up being killed? Let's move on.
First of all, Zhang Qing did not participate in the struggle between the various parties as a bandit at the beginning, but as a part of the rebel army. However, as a rebel army, Zhang Qing was not a good stubble, he only chose to participate in the ranks of the uprising because he could not live his life and was forced to be helpless.
After a short time, Zhang Qing's rebel army ended in defeat, so Zhang Qing turned to join the subordinates of a warlord and mixed up a good official position. But before his seat could sit up, his commander was ordered to disband the entire team. Zhang Qing couldn't stand this, so he turned to bandits. Zhang Qing also began his bandit life at this point, perhaps at this time, he did not expect to make such a big move in the future.
After a period of development, Zhang Qing soon had a relatively large team of bandits. Then why did the officers and soldiers at that time allow Zhang Qing's arrogant behavior and not send troops to suppress it?
According to the "Study of Bandits in Henan during the Republic of China", due to the widespread influence and great harm of bandits, the government, the people, and the Chinese Communist Party have taken different measures to defend and rectify according to different understandings. Officially, suppression, killing, and appeasement are the mainstay; the people are mainly organizing self-defense and defense; and the Communist Party of China has adopted a policy of focusing on liaison, treating them differently, and dividing and cracking down.
Through the records of the "Study of Bandits in Henan during the Republic of China Period", it can be known that the bandit situation at that time was not generally serious, so all parties also had different methods of treating bandits. Among them, the official method is two ways, killing and appeasement. In dealing with Zhang Qing, the official initially adopted the method of killing.
So why didn't Zhang Qing's clique end up being killed, and even no officers and soldiers dared to go on a crusade? There are several reasons for this.
First, the abduction of foreigners as a shield.
Zhang Qing captured several foreigners at one time, and in the process of being chased by officers and soldiers, he found that the officers and soldiers did not dare to do anything to foreigners, so he arrested a large number of foreigners and used them as a shield, so no officers and soldiers dared to beat them.
Second, there are many troops and the people are helping each other.
As a bandit, Zhang Qing's power was still relatively large, but it was far inferior to the official, but because Zhang Qing was pretending to rob the rich and help the poor, he actually got the help of the people and was able to escape from the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers many times.
Third, accept the recruitment and become a regular army.
After that, the official was forced to form a large army to encircle and suppress Zhang Qing, but Zhang Qing threatened to force him to rush then foreigners would bury him, so the officials could only recruit him. After becoming a regular army, Zhang Qing had no officers and soldiers who would attack him.
Fourth, the reputation is outstanding, and the troops are sufficient.
Because of Wu Peifu's suspicions, he planned to suppress Zhang Qing. However, Zhang Qing's power was also unusually large.
According to the "Study of Bandits in Henan during the Republic of China Period", after the establishment of the Republic of China, Henan's social turmoil, bandits are even more rampant, bandits are arrogant to the point of no county, no bandits, no years and no bandits. Bandits in this period were numerous and complex.
According to the records of the "Study of Bandits in Henan during the Republic of China", due to the turbulence of the times, bandits have become a common "profession", and Zhang Qingke has a very big reputation in the camp of bandits, so they have gathered under his call, even Wu Peifu does not dare to fight zhang Qing head-on.
However, why was Zhang Qing killed by others in the end?
This is because her reputation is no longer as good as it was in the people. The people were so afraid of Zhang Qing that when he was chased by Wu Peifu and other officers and soldiers, the people in the places where he passed fled with their things, and Zhang Qing's team had no food supply and was very tired, so the scattered bandits began to break away from Zhang Qing's team.
In this way, in the final internal dispute, Zhang Qing was shot and killed by his subordinates who had lost confidence in him, and a giant bandit who did not even dare to move the officers and soldiers died at the hands of his subordinates.
