As we all know, Zhang Xueliang's father, Zhang Zuolin, was killed in Huanggutun by the Japanese Kwantung Army in 1928, so for Zhang Xueliang, the Japanese, especially the Japanese Kwantung Army, are their father-killers.
As the saying goes, the revenge of killing his father does not share the heavens, and zhang Xueliang only hates the Japanese, so after his father's death, he insisted on declaring the "northeast change" despite the threats and inducements of the Japanese, and finally promoted the nominal unification of China.
For Zhang Xueliang, the "Northeast Yizhi" was only the first step, in fact, he knew at that time that he could not resist the Japanese by relying on his own strength alone, so he hoped that after the reunification of China, he would be able to gather all The strength of China to resist the Japanese invasion.
But it is clear that he overestimated Chiang Kai-shek's ability and vision, and also underestimated the Ambitions of the Japanese to invade northeast China and even china as a whole
Although zhang zuolin's attitude toward Japan was relatively tough after Zhang Zuolin's death, he did not form a complete strategy of resisting Japan, and sometimes he was too indecisive, so that he gave Japan an opportunity while fighting with Japan in the northeast.
And this opportunity also left him with an endless pain, that is, after his father Zhang Zuolin, his most beloved son also died tragically at the hands of the Japanese.
The Japanese have always been narrow-minded, after Zhang Zuolin's death, Zhang Xueliang hated the Japanese even more, so he targeted the Japanese everywhere in the northeast, which made the Japanese feel very angry, especially Zhang Xueliang ignored the warnings of the Japanese and insisted on implementing the "Northeast Yizhi", which made them think about how to punish or even get rid of Zhang Xueliang all the time.
However, since the "Huanggutun Incident," Zhang Xueliang had become very wary of the Japanese, and the Japanese could not find any opportunity to attack at all, until one day in the winter of 1929, the Japanese Kwantung Military Intelligence Agency received a message that Zhang Xueliang's most beloved third son, Zhang Luqi, was about to go to the "Yangde Hospital" opened by the Japanese Hirano Mita in Shenyang for medical treatment.
This news greatly excited the Japanese Kwantung Army, and after they repeatedly determined the reliability of this news, they began to formulate a plan to kill Zhang Xueliang's third son, Zhang Luqi, just like the assassination of Zhang Zuolin in that year, the Japanese Kwantung Army regarded this operation as a warning to Zhang Xueliang, a punishment, and an action that would never be troubled.
Aiming the butcher knife at a child who is only 9 years old also shows the cruelty of the Japanese, but unfortunately, Zhang Xueliang, who is eager to save his son, did not expect to send Aiko to the hospital for treatment and finally buried Aiko's life!
However, the Japanese have a vendetta against their father, and Zhang Xueliang does have a strong sense of defense against the Japanese, so why did Zhang Xueliang insist on sending his beloved son Zhang Luqi to the hospital opened by the Japanese for treatment?
Zhang Luqi is the third son born to Zhang Xueliang and Yu Fengzhi, although zhang Xueliang's youngest son, Zhang Luqi's wisdom and cleverness from childhood are incomparable to his two elder brothers.
Zhang Luqi was born in 1919, which was the most critical year of his life for Zhang Zuolin. In this year, Zhang Zuolin successfully forced Meng En, a warlord directly under his direct lineage and then the overseer of Jilin Province, to go far away, and at this point, the northeast was completely controlled by Zhang Zuolin, and Zhang Zuolin officially became the "King of northeast China".
Probably the older generation of people more or less believe in some ghosts and gods, Zhang Zuolin believes that Zhang Luqi's birth brought him good luck, and he could successfully expel Meng Enyuan, so Zhang Zuolin had a special love for Zhang Luqi, and even the name "Zhang Luqi" was personally given by Zhang Zuolin.
When Zhang Luqi was 6 years old, Zhang Zuolin invited Zou Hediao, a famous scholar in northeast China, to be his enlightenment teacher. Under the cultivation of Zou He carving, Zhang Luqi quickly memorized the "Four Books", Tang poetry and Song Ci were also catchy, and what surprised Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xueliang was that Zhang Luqi also learned calligraphy with Zou He carving in his spare time, and his calligraphy skills had reached many so-called calligraphers at that time.
While learning traditional culture, Zhang Xueliang also began to pay attention to the cultivation of his young son, he has invited The famous English teacher Wang Zhuoran and the painter Li Wuhu for Zhang Luqi, hoping that Zhang Luqi can further improve in calligraphy and painting, and hope that he can integrate Chinese and Western cultures.
I have to say that Zhang Luqi's learning talent has been perfectly reflected and played in this period, and the talented and intelligent Zhang Luqi has made very rapid progress in English, but at the age of eight or nine, he can communicate fluently with others in English, and calligraphy and painting have also achieved high achievements, and many of the ancient paintings he copied have reached the point of being fake and real.
Zhang Zuolin was born poor, and he also started by being a bandit, Zhang Xueliang was a famous brother-in-law, the second generation of the rich, almost tired of learning, hastily, and Zhang Xueliang's eldest son and second son also behaved very ordinary in learning.
Therefore, Zhang Zuolin very much hopes that he can have a truly talented, knowledgeable and insightful descendant. Seeing that his son and the first two grandchildren were also mediocre, Zhang Zuolin had no hope, and Zhang Luqi's birth gave the Zhang family great hope.
Zhang Luqi did not live up to the expectations of his grandfather and father, he regarded learning as the most beloved thing to do, but at a young age, he had achieved a height that his grandfather and father could not reach for decades.
Zhang Luqi, the future can be expected!
In the eyes of the Northeast military and politicians at that time, and even the Japanese, Zhang Luqi was the next generation of successors cultivated by Zhang's father and son! From the perspective of the Japanese, Zhang Luqi will inevitably be a strong opponent they will face in the future! And it is very likely that it is more difficult to deal with than Zhang Zuolin!
Therefore, when the Japanese learned that Zhang Luqi was going to a Japanese hospital for treatment, they would definitely find a way to eliminate what they considered to be a "potential threat".
Therefore, it is not difficult for us to understand the Japanese's cruel behavior of attacking a 9-year-old child.
As the saying goes, there are unexpected storms in the sky, and when Zhang Luqi ran forward on the road planned by Zhang Xueliang and his wife, he suddenly fell seriously ill.
It was the autumn of 1929, and at first Zhang Luqi only coughed occasionally, and later had some fever, and the Shuaifu medical officer at that time only treated it as an ordinary wind chill caused by the cold weather.
But within a few days, Zhang Luqi suddenly had a high fever that did not go away, and the medical officers in the Shuai Mansion used many methods to make the high fever go back, Zhang Xueliang and his wife began to be anxious, they were worried about such a fever, Zhang Luqi was afraid of falling to the root of the disease even if he was lucky to recover.

Therefore, Zhang Xueliang asked famous doctors everywhere, and he even invited the famous Chinese medicine and Western medicine in the northeast region to the Shuai Mansion, let all the doctors consult, and then took turns to take care of Zhang Luqi, afraid that Zhang Luqi would have some accidents.
You know, Zhang Xueliang himself is very opposed to Chinese medicine, but in order for Aizi to recover as soon as possible, he still decided to try it under the advice of doctor Shuaifu.
It is worth noting here that at that time, Zhang Xueliang initially invited Western medicine, but did not include Japanese doctors. Because of the Huanggutun incident, Zhang Xueliang had a strong psychological guard against the Japanese, so he preferred to believe in Chinese medicine rather than Japanese doctors. From this point of view, he later sent Zhang Luqi to a Japanese hospital and was indeed desperate, and that kind of desperate psychology should be able to feel it!
All in all, without the last step, Zhang Xueliang could not accept the Japanese to treat Aiko.
When Zhang Xueliang invited a famous Traditional Chinese and Western doctor from the northeast to the Shuai Mansion, Zhang Luqi's body recovered under the conditioning of an old Chinese medicine doctor named Ma Erqin.
Ma Erqin was the uncle of a medical officer named Ma Jiyu in the Shuai Mansion at that time, Ma Erqin rarely came forward to treat the patients of the Northeast Military and Political Dignitaries, and he also knew that Zhang Xueliang did not believe in Traditional Chinese medicine, so he did not want to ask for this errand at first, until Ma Jiyu invited many times, Ma Erqin decided to enter the Shuai Mansion for many years of professionalism to diagnose and treat Zhang Luqi.

I have to say that Ma Erqin's medical skills are still very clever, he judged that Zhang Luqi may be infected with pulmonary typhoid fever, and then according to his own diagnosis, Zhang Luqi prescribed several pairs of prescriptions, and after the cultivation of Ma Erqin's prescription, Zhang Luqi's condition was actually alleviated.
Zhang Luqi's illness was good to transfer the heart hanging in the hearts of Zhang Xueliang and his wife could finally fall, and after Ma Erqin's cultivation, Zhang Xueliang eliminated the previous misunderstanding of Chinese medicine, and in the following decades, he also began to use Chinese medicine to nourish his body.
However, because Zhang Xueliang had just begun to contact Chinese medicine, so he could not understand the principle of Chinese medicine at that time, when Zhang Xueliang was the head of the northeast military and political government, the surrounding military and political leaders were concerned about Zhang Luqi's illness for various purposes, many of them had contacted Japanese doctors, thinking that the medical skills of Japanese doctors were very clever, and the hospital equipment opened by the Japanese was also very advanced, and Zhang Luqi could be sent to a Japanese hospital for treatment. At that time, Fengjun had a subordinate who was deeply trusted by Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xueliang, who strongly recommended the Yangde Hospital opened by the Japanese doctor Hirono Mita.
Mita Hirano was a highly qualified student who graduated from the Faculty of Medicine at Waseda University in Japan, and after graduation, he came to Tohoku to practice medicine and later established Yangde Hospital in Shenyang. Although Hirono Mita is Japanese, he is well known for his medical ethics and medical skills.
At first, Zhang Xueliang resolutely refused the suggestion of the subordinate, but after a long time, Zhang Luqi's symptoms eased very slowly, and in early December, Zhang Luqi had cough symptoms again, and Chinese medicine could not accurately diagnose the crux of Zhang Luqi's cough for a while, so the old department once again strongly recommended Hirano Mita.
Picture 丨 Zhang Xueliang and Yu Fengzhi
And he recommended Hirono Mita for two main reasons, the first reason is that Hirono Mita's medical skills are indeed very high, and his hospital equipment is advanced, at that time, the entire Fengtian only his hospital has an X-ray machine that can shoot X-rays, and if you want to find out whether Zhang Luqi is a lung injury, taking X-rays is undoubtedly the best choice; the second reason is that he has a good personal relationship with Hirano Mita, so he knows more about Hirano Mita's personality, Hirano Mita is not a Japanese soldier, and his character is still trustworthy.
Due to the strong recommendation of the old ministry, Zhang Xueliang's initial attitude of "resolutely rejecting Japanese doctors" also changed, but Zhang Xueliang's guard against the Japanese was not completely relaxed, so Zhang Xueliang thought of learning from Ma Erqin and Ma Jiyu about the Japanese doctor named Hirono Mita.
Ma Erqin did not have any contact with Hirano Mita Suri, so he did not understand, but he did not prevent Zhang Xueliang from sending Zhang Luqi to the hospital for treatment, because he himself admitted that Chinese medicine is not omnipotent, and Western medicine naturally has its unique merits.
Although Ma Erqin is a Chinese medicine doctor, he does not reject Western medicine, he can stand in a very objective position to look at the advantages and disadvantages of Chinese and Western medicine, so Shi Jun believes that this is the noble character that a doctor should have.
As a medical officer of the Shuai Mansion, Ma Jiyu is often exposed to Western medicine, and he is naturally very familiar with the more famous Hirono Mita. When Zhang Xueliang asked him about the situation in Hirano Mita, Ma Jiyu truthfully reported the situation he had to Zhang Xueliang.

At that time, Zhang Xueliang asked Ma Jiyu: "Is it dangerous to go to the hospital in Hirono Mita?" ”
Ma Jiyu replied, "Hirano Mita has been practicing medicine for many years, and his medical ethics are highly respected, and this person's medical skills are also commendable." As for whether he is reliable, I dare not say, but I am sure that he has nothing to do with the Kwantung Army, and Mr. Hirano is only a Japanese doctor, and I believe that he will never use the opportunity to treat his children to do anything disgraceful. ”
Because Zhang Xueliang and his wife trust Ma Jiyu very much, after listening to Ma Jiyu's words, Zhang Xueliang and his wife finally decided to send Zhang Luqi to Yangde Hospital for treatment.
In fact, Ma Jiyu's answer was very objective, he truthfully stated the facts he knew, as he said, Hirono Mita really did not have any problems before this.
But neither Ma Jiyu nor Zhang Xueliang nor his wife had imagined at the time that even if Hirono Mita was highly skilled, he would have to betray the doctor's ethics under the pressure of the Japanese Kwantung Army.
Although Hirano Mita was forced at the beginning, Shi Jun believed that if he really could not bear to harm a 9-year-old child, then he would definitely find ways to disclose this news so that Zhang Xueliang could be vigilant, even if he could not guarantee success, he would do his best and even refuse to accept the treatment.
But obviously, from the various indications or information left behind, Hirano Mita did not do this, which also reflects from the side.
Hirono Mita is also a man with Japanese militarist ideas, and his heart recognizes the aggressive policy adopted by the Japanese government toward China.
But unfortunately, Ma Jiyu's words made Zhang Xueliang let go of the last bit of guard, and he chose to believe in this Japanese doctor.

When the Japanese Kwantung Army received the news that Zhang Xueliang was going to send Zhang Luqi to Yangde Hospital for treatment, it immediately threatened and seduced Hirono Mita, and finally forced Hirono Mita to agree to Japanese agents enter Yangde Hospital to plant bombs on X-ray machines.
One day in December 1929, Zhang Xueliang sent ma Jiyu, a military medical officer, and Zhang Ruzhou, a bodyguard, to escort Zhang Luqi to Yangde Hospital in two vehicles.
In order to ensure safety, the Northeast Army negotiated with Yangde Hospital in advance, and when the convoy arrived at the hospital, the hospital no longer accepted other patients, and there was not a single patient in important departments such as chest X-ray room.
At 9 a.m., Mr. Kawashima, Zhang Luqi's attending physician, and a Japanese female nurse pushed Zhang Luqi into the chest X-ray room, while Ma Jiyu, Zhang Ruzhou, and others were dissuaded from being outside the chest X-ray.
It has to be said that this was a serious dereliction of duty by Ma Jiyu, Zhang Ruzhou and others, although the Japanese doctors at that time resolutely prevented them from entering the chest X-ray room for various reasons, but Ma Jiyu and others could also enter for various safety reasons, and even they could call Hirano Mita to mediate from it.
All in all, Ma Jiyu and others should not and cannot let Zhang Luqi enter the chest X-ray room alone, let alone let himself be controlled by the Japanese alone, which is probably what Zhang Xueliangqian told him before leaving!
Moreover, Ma Jiyu and others also made another of the most fatal mistakes, that is, they did not carefully examine the chest X-ray chamber before the Japanese doctors pushed Zhang Luqi into the chest X-ray room!
Zhang Xueliang carefully guarded against the Japanese for so long, but because of these last few mistakes, he buried the life of his beloved son, and I have to say that this is all fate.
The only pity is that Zhang Luqi is so talented and intelligent, but she is not allowed to show her talent, and she died early at the age of 9, and the tragic fate of her fate also implies that Zhang Xueliang will end in dismal bleakness?
Shortly after the Japanese doctor pushed Zhang Luqi into the chest xensis room, a violent explosion was heard from the chest xenon.
After Ma Jiyu and others heard this, they immediately broke into the chest X-ray room, only to see that the scene was unbearable, and when the smoke was filled, the X-ray machine had been exploded, and Zhang Luqi threw herself in front of the X-ray machine, her face and chest were stained red with dripping blood, and the person was already unconscious. The Japanese doctor and the female nurse, although they were also full of panic, did not suffer any harm, but the snow-white coat was stained with dust from the explosion.
For a time, Yangde Hospital was surrounded by the Northeast Army Regiment, and Ma Jiyu questioned Hirano Mita, but the answer was always the same:
accidentally!
Hirono Mita insisted that the machine had just arrived from within Japan and that a glass plate explosion occurred because of a sudden cold, which was an accident!
But anyone who has the ability to think for themselves believes that Hirono Mita's reason is not valid at all!
However, under the protection of the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Japanese consulate, the Northeast Army had no way to investigate the cause of the explosion and hold Hirano Mita responsible, for which Zhang Xueliang was both bitter and remorseful.
On the night of the explosion, Zhang Luqi was too badly injured and eventually died prematurely, perhaps it was providence in the darkness, and the place where Zhang Luqi died was the xiaoqinglou where his grandfather Zhang Zuolin last gasped a year ago.
In a year' time, the two grandchildren have died in the same place, and they were both killed by the Japanese, for Zhang Xueliang, this is definitely the biggest and most painful encounter in his life!
In 1989, after more than half a century of seclusion, Zhang Xueliang finally saw the dawn of freedom.
Before leaving Taiwan for the United States, he received a Japanese journalist named Akira Ikemiyagi in Taipei. The photojournalist, who is famous in Japan, has collected many secret archives about Zhang Xueliang recorded by the Japanese Kwantung Army, and these archives contain detailed information about the process of Zhang Luqi's murder.
When the 88-year-old Zhang Xueliang learned the cause of death of his third son, Zhang Luqi, holding these archival materials, he remained silent for a long time, and his hands trembled uncontrollably. He finally understood the whole process of his beloved son being killed by the Japanese, although he was also convinced that Zhang Luqi's death was caused by the Japanese, but he was suffering from not being able to find evidence, and finally he could only end it, after 70 years, the truth has been revealed, but his son has long become a dry bone in the grave, what is the use of all this?
Later, he was interviewed by a Japanese broadcaster, and when the camera turned to him, he didn't have any foreshadowing or opening remarks, just four words word by word:"
I hate Japan
”。
Yes, father and son died at the hands of Japan, the northeast was forcibly occupied by Japan, and the hatred of the national enemy was all pressed on him, how could he not hate?
