Zhang Zuolin
In advance of the history of the Republic of China, I have to say that there is a well-known figure - Zhang Zuolin
。 Perhaps many young people are no longer familiar with Zhang Zuolin, who is the largest warlord of the Republic of China. But when it comes to his son, the patriotic general Zhang Xueliang, everyone is still familiar with it.
Zhang Zuolin is known as the "King of the Northeast", and this name is also deserved. In the whole northeast region, he can command the world, call the wind and rain, and he is the only one who can come and go. However, Zhang Zuolin did not have a comfortable life at an early age, and he lost his father at the age of 14 and wandered the rivers and lakes. Having engaged in a large number of low-status labor, it can be said that he has fully experienced the hardships of life and the dangers of society.
Many historians believe that Zhang Zuolin really started out from his "veterinary" experience.
Today, Ink Wenshan takes you through this little-known historical story and tells you about "veterinarian" Zhang Zuolin.
1. Birth
In March 1875, when it was still snowy in the northeast, Zhang Youcai's family ushered in the third child who fell to the ground, named Zhang Zuolin.
I hope that he can make a difference, and the Guangzong Yaozu is like a heavenly ganlin.
This name may have foreshadowed his extraordinary life.
Republic of China grocery store
Zhang Zuolin's life in his childhood was quite OK, there was no shortage of food, a lot of clothes, and even read a few years of private school, knew a lot of words, and read a lot of books. After all, Zhang Youcai runs a grocery store, and these incomes are enough to allow several members of the Zhang family to live a life of abundant food and clothing.
The good times did not last long, the evil imperialists used opium to squeeze the pockets of the people swept in, Zhang Zuolin's father was also unfortunately contaminated, and soon the grocery store was sold off.
Opium consumption
2. Avenge the Father
The house leaks from wind and rain, because Zhang Zuolin's father also loves gambling. Once, in a casino, I met the enemy family. The Enemy family was so powerful that they immediately beat zhang Youcai up. Zhang Youcai, who had been smoking opium for a long time, withstood the punches and kicks of several big men and soon died in Huangquan.
When Zhang Zuolin, who was 14 years old at the time, heard about this incident, he secretly vowed to avenge his father, and this revenge would not be repaid by a gentleman.
Homeland gun
So he and his second brother Zhang Zuofu found someone to borrow a clay gun and climbed over the wall to enter the courtyard of the Qiu family. However, he was discovered by a maid from the Enemy family who got up late at night, so she shouted, "Catch the bandits, catch the bandits."
In the confusion, the guns were fired and the maid was killed by stray bullets. The two brothers escaped over the wall, and then the enemy reported to the government and arrested the brothers. Zhang Zuolin narrowly escaped, and Zhang Zuofu was sentenced to ten years in prison.
Third, send people under the fence, wandering rivers and lakes
At the age of fourteen or fifteen, he was still childish, and his mind was certainly not yet sound, and he could not stand well in the sinister society at that time. Under the arrangement of his mother Wang, Zhang Zuolin fled to his grandfather's house and hid.
Later, the mother Wang Shi could not continue, even eating became a problem, in desperation, with two children also came to their parents.
At that time, China was in ruins, with great powers invading China on the outside and exploitation by the weak and decadent Qing government on the inside, and the people's lives were very difficult.
My grandfather's family had four more mouths, and they were still young, and the amount of food was needless to say.
My grandfather's family was also very poor.
Zhang Zuolin, who was so strong by nature, stubbornly left his mother again and went to the rivers and lakes alone.
He sold buns, burnt cakes, studied carpentry, and worked odd jobs.
But it didn't take long for him to give up. Later, he came to Gaokan Town, Yingkou City, Liaoning Province, and officially settled down.
Now the town of Gokan
Gaokan Town is a small commercial port from the south to the north, with frequent logistics exchanges. He found a handyman job at an inn.
The northeast is sparsely populated, and the two commercial ports often meet for hundreds of kilometers, so people must choose to ride horses or horse-drawn carriages when they travel.
At that time, the inns were generally inhabited in front of them, and the back was to raise livestock.
People should serve well, and there is no need to say much. The livestock must also be taken care of at the same time, in case of a disease in life, it is equivalent to cutting off the hands and feet of the guests, and this matter is big. The guy who was taking care of the livestock in the backyard at that time was quite familiar with veterinary skills and was quite respected. Zhang Zuolin always has nothing to do outside of work, and he is close to him.
This guy also did not refuse to come, and generously handed over everything he had learned to Zhang Zuolin.
4. Veterinarian Zhang Zuolin
It can be seen that the teenager Zhang Zuolin has always been unwilling to be mediocre, and at the same time, he is particularly good at grasping the opportunity, striving for favorable conditions, and improving his own situation.
Zhang Zuolin, who had achieved success in his studies, soon opened a livestock shop in Gaokan Town.
That is, the place for livestock, cattle, horses, cattle, cattle, and the like, to see a doctor and treat diseases.
Ancient veterinary books
Do not underestimate the status of veterinarians, which was even more respected than doctors who treated people in northeast China at that time. At that time, the entire northeast region was plagued by bandits.
The northeast is a plain area, and when encountering peers fighting or official government pursuit, the fast distance is the magic weapon to save lives.
Fast foot travel means riding the horse fast, in case the horse is sick or in a bad state, it is likely that your life will be lost.
Bandits in the northeast of the Republic of China
At that time, the bandits in the northeast and even the army had special respect for veterinarians, and it was common to send a reward or invite guests to dinner.
And at that time, there was also an industry rule in society that all bandits were not allowed to rob veterinarians. It was at this stage that Zhang Zuolin began to have the opportunity to contact the bandits, and through the communication with them in a few words, he learned how the bandit industry worked.
Many historians believe that Zhang Zuolin's origins were here, and it is precisely because of this experience that he has become inextricably linked to the bandits.
Zhang Zuolin, who later "served in the army" and "participated in politics," raised the banner of "banditry" again, returned to the original point, and became a bandit.
If you think that Zhang Zuolin at this time is already a legend, you are very wrong. His legendary life, his legendary story, has just begun.
