The person who had a lot of criticism during the warlord melee was Zhang Zuolin, and among the many warlords, his financial and military strength should not be underestimated. As the leader of the warlords, he is also the richest man among the warlords, and his assets are often jaw-dropping. After Zhang Zuolin's death, many people were puzzled by his many behaviors, especially curious, where did the assets left by such a big chaebol go?
Is it left to his descendants or was swept away by someone, today let's explore together, where did Zhang Zuolin's assets go after his death?
To know where his property went, first we have to know how much he has. In Zhang Zuolin's property statistics, the main thing that can highlight his biggest property is the warlord property ratio table from the media report, of which Zhang Zuolin's personal assets reached 50 million.
With such a huge amount, it is no wonder that people are curious about the eventual flow of property, many of his 50 million assets are real estate, for example, 200,000 hectares of land and grain that can be recovered from the land, the price of which can already be sold can make him sit on the mountain. But these properties did not satisfy him, and he also made a power attempt, and the final result was a lot of money.
The reason why he can be called a chaebol is because of his amazing background and strong business acumen. His investment in the three eastern provinces has already made him the head of several major warlords, and he is not satisfied with this, but has invested in a series of industries such as textiles, steel, bank ships and so on throughout the country.
From these investments, he also made a lot of money, and Zhang Zuolin once spent 700,000 yuan to buy a coal mine, from which he excavated nearly 100,000 tons of coal, which also brought him a very rich income. He used this income to build his own bank, so this boldness and operation were also the main reasons why he was able to get rich. Since Zhang Zuolin has so much money, how does he distribute his property?
According to the deposit distribution amount of Zhang Zuolin Bank, in fact, he has distributed these real estate and land with various deposits. For example, under the name of his wife and children, he left a lot of land and real estate, which are things that can make his children enjoy for a lifetime, but what he did not expect was that these plans that he had already made were disrupted by the Japanese.
When the Japanese invaded the three eastern provinces, they took away more than half of Zhang Zuolin's money in the bank, leaving almost no money for his family. Moreover, around 1925, the Fengshi general Guo Songling rebelled against Feng, which caught Zhang Zuolin by surprise and eventually could only escape to Dalian.
Just as the so-called soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, he also knew the importance of money, so he prepared 27 cars of gold and silver treasure before fleeing, but these things had not yet been brought to his hands, and the September 18 Incident had already occurred, making the Japanese pick up a big bargain. After robbing everything in the Marshal's Mansion, they even completely controlled Zhang Zuolin's family, causing his family's gold and silver treasures to be robbed of as much as 250 million. Not only did this money not fall into the hands of future generations, but it was also occupied by the Japanese and their domineering and unreasonable ways, which is indeed the biggest loss.
Due to the impact of the war, the Zhang family did not dare to find the direction of their family wealth, until after the end of the War of Resistance, they returned to their hometown again, but found that everything had been looted by the Japanese. The properties that originally belonged to the Zhang family were confiscated in the form of bureaucratic capital, so the Zhang family was transferred from the palatial top palace to the life of ordinary civilians.
This feeling of heaven and hell for a second may not be acceptable to the Zhang family in a short period of time, but it has to be said that it is also the best way to deal with them. After all, these money and wealth were all looted by Zhang Zuolin with his own, and once the original capital accumulated by the assets was confiscated and wanted to be returned again, it was simply impossible.
In addition, Zhang Zuolin's property itself came and the road was not right, so Zhang Xueliang never thought of asking the government to return his father's assets, so the flow of these assets, on the one hand, cheapened the Japanese, on the other hand, it was also returned to the state.
