How Zhang Zuolin died, two assassinations, a kind of fate

In the sixteenth year of the Republic of China, Zhang Zuolin and the Soviet Union were at odds, which seemed to be welcomed by Western foreigners, but the "agent war" of the Beiyang crowds made the foreigners discover a more pleasing group, that is, the Southern Princes. After all, in the war between the north and the south, the Beiyang warlords were repeatedly defeated, and the southern army went north like a bamboo, and even Japan, which had always supported Zhang Zuolin, had a difference in its views on his treatment. With the announcement of the Confederate army that it would "not attack the east of Shanhaiguan", that is, it would not touch Zhang Zuolin's interests in the northeast, which seemed to be a compromise with the Warlords of the Feng clan, but it was actually a strategy of killing two birds with one stone. Not only did Zhang Zuolin take a reassuring pill and return to his Guanwai with peace of mind, but also appeased the wolf on the bed, and the Southern Army could avoid direct confrontation with the Japanese army. However, although the Japanese temples are in favor of maintaining this situation, it does not mean that the Kwantung Army is willing to stop.

At the beginning of June of the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, the Soviet Union sharpened its knife, britain and France watched from the sidelines, and Zhang Zuolin, who became an outcast, fled Beiping with the Warlords of the Feng clan in a dismal way. On the way back to Fengtian, two groups of assassins and horses of two enemies in the Far East were waiting for his arrival. In fact, before the two assassinations of this year, as early as two years ago, the Soviet Union had sent three agents to the northeast to prepare for the assassination of Zhang Zuolin by taking advantage of the opportunity of the "Middle East Railway Club Symphony Team" to play for Zhang Zuolin. However, one of the agents was caught by a detective team belonging to the warlord while carrying remote-controlled explosives. Two other agents were also arrested in Fengtian. The three confessed to the crime, but explained that the reason was because their family died at the hands of the Japanese army during the Russo-Japanese War, so they planned to assassinate Zhang Zuolin, the agent of the Japanese army.

Subsequently, the assassination of Zhang Zuolin buried in Huanggutun was said to be the soviet union sent one of its own ace assassins, Ergun, to carry out the assassination mission, "China Pass" Sarnen as the general person in charge, weapons expert Venalov in charge of equipment, and the three formed a team to assassinate Zhang Zuolin. At the old crossing of the place where the Beijing-Fengfeng Railway must pass back to Fengtian, it is very close to Huanggutun Station, and the vehicles must be slow to facilitate blasting. This is also the intersection of the warlords and the Japanese army, and it is also convenient to hide the eyes and ears, as early as June 2, Sarnen received a secret telegram about Zhang Zuolin's whereabouts. The carriage in which Zhang was riding was the tenth section, and its obvious symbol was the blue float, which had been the special carriage of Empress Dowager Cixi in the past, and was closed with Zhang Zuolin in Huanggutun with Zhang Zuolin among the forty bags of explosives buried by Ergong.

It is commonly said that Kawamoto Daisa, a staff officer of the Kwantung Army, planned and carried out the assassination of Zhang Zuolin. Zhang Zuolin's special train left Huanggutun in the early hours of the morning and sailed to Fengtian. Wen Shoushan, director of the security department who was riding with the passenger, recalled: "Just as this float passed through the intersection in front of the old road crossing, there was a loud rumble, smoke and dust, and sand and gravel, just blowing this carriage to pieces. Wu Junsheng was pierced with an iron nail in the head, and he died at that time, lying in the corner of the carriage. Zhang Zuolin was blown out about three inches away, Zhang Zuolin was not dead at that time, the internal injuries could not be seen clearly, only a deep hole in the throat, bleeding a lot. Zhang Zuolin's death, the stone breaking the sky, is also reasonable, after all, the old bridge section cooked by the rabbit dead dog has been staged repeatedly, and Zhang Zuolin belongs to the kind of "small man who can't be overwhelmed", happy in the grass and recklessness, and the scene of this curtain is more like a fate.
