China's Republic of China period was a period of chaos. During this period, there were scenes of warlords dividing up, everyone obeyed each other, and fought each other for the sake of competing for interests, which became a pot of porridge. In the south at that time, it was the domain of Chiang Kai-shek's Nanjing Nationalist Government, while in the north, it was the domain of Zhang Zuolin, the king of the northeast. These two forces, one south and one north, are in opposition to each other, with the blue sky and white sun flag against the five-color flag.
Zhang Zuolin was born in 1975, a native of Haicheng, Liaoning Province, when he was young, his father was beaten to death, he was lonely and wandering, he sold goods for life, and also sold buns. Later, the New Army of the Qing Army was to be expanded, so he joined the army and served as a sentry commander in the New Army.
He later broke away from the ranks to become a bandit, mediating between the two sides to survive during the Russo-Japanese War, and after Shengjing was changed to the four northeastern provinces, he served as the commander of the Fengtian Patrol Battalion. After Passing Yuan Shikai and Li Yuanhong, he was appointed as the Governor of Fengtian And gradually began to rise. Later, he was appointed as the envoy of the Northeast Patrol, became the leader of the Feng army, and was known as the "King of the Northeast"
Although Zhang Zuolin was nominally the leader of the Feng army, in fact, there was no unity within the Feng army, and some generals had always been eager to seize military power and looked at Zhang Zuolin's position. In addition, in Guannei, because Zhang Zuolin supported the Anhui warlords to unify the country by force, some other warlords also hated Zhang Zuolin to the bone.
So these people with ulterior motives are like killing Zhang Zuolin. Zhang Zuolin is a northeastern man, he is not afraid of face-to-face fighting, he is afraid of someone sneaking behind his back, and dark arrows are the most difficult to defend. Thinking about it, he felt that his identity was different, and it was time for his own safety to find a bodyguard to block the dark arrow for himself.
After Zhang Zuolin had this idea, Zhang Zuoxiang immediately began to look for a suitable candidate for Zhang Zuolin. After tests in subjects such as shooting, fighting, etc., four people were selected. And these four people, whether it is marksmanship, fighting, consciousness is first-class, Zhang Zuoxiang is difficult to distinguish between good and bad for a while, so he handed this problem to Zhang Zuolin.
After Zhang Zuolin saw these four people, he was also very satisfied, and he could not distinguish between good and bad, so he thought of a test method. He called all four of them to their house for dinner, sat down at a table to eat, and kept relaxing their guards with his humor.
When it was almost time to eat, there was a sudden burst of gunfire outside, and soldiers shouted in the courtyard to "catch the assassins". As soon as the shouts came out, the other three men immediately pulled out their guns and followed them out, looking for the assassins in the courtyard. There was only one person, sitting still, looking at Zhang Zuolin all the time. Zhang Zuolin nodded, then got up and went back to the study, and this person followed him to the study.
After this incident, Zhang Zuolin immediately admitted this person, and the other three people all withdrew. The purpose of being a bodyguard is to protect the safety of the body, not to kill the enemy. The first task is to protect Zhang Zuolin, and it is a basic quality to stay away from danger. The other three men might have been a good soldier, but definitely not a good bodyguard. In this way, Zhang Zuolin is still very old and spicy, and his insights are far more advanced than others, so it is no wonder that he can be the king of the Northeast.
Zhang Zuolin is a warlord, but he is different from Ma Bufang and other bandit warlords, this person is still very concerned about the people's livelihood during his time in the northeast, basically will not harm the people, and his reputation in the northeast is better. It is worth mentioning that he has been dragging his feet in the face of the Japanese army's disguised occupation of the three eastern provinces, and he really refuses if he can't do it, so the Japanese designed to blow it up. After his death, there was no such a tough man in the Northeast Army, and after the September 18 incident, the three eastern provinces were almost taken over by the Japanese.
