When we think of Japan, the first thing we think of is the inhumane things that the Japanese did to china during World War II, and when we think of them, we hate them with our teeth. Japan is only a small island nation, but they have great ambitions.
During World War II, they caused great harm to the Chinese people in the name of greater East Asia's common prosperity. Although this matter seems to be an impossible thing now, Japan still made sufficient preparations at that time.
In fact, Japan did not dare to act rashly at the beginning, because he did not know what kind of situation the Qing Dynasty was, so he first started the idea of Korea to see how capable the Qing Dynasty was. At this point, Japan found that there was only an empty shell left in the Qing Dynasty, so the Japanese unscrupulously began to invade China.
However, there was Zhang Zuolin in the northeast, and Japan did not dare to act rashly. At that time, Zhang Zuolin had a general Under Guo Songling, this person was very capable, and he loved his motherland very much, he thought that he should fight for the nation, and once said that if Zhang Zuolin threw an olive branch to Japan, then he would definitely rebel against Zhang Zuolin, and the Japanese were afraid of his move, so they did not dare to move.
However, in the end, Zhang Zuolin still chose the Japanese, and Guo Songling turned against him, but because of Feng Yuxiang's rebellion, Guo Songling was attacked on the last two sides, became a prisoner of the order, and finally died under the gun.
In his old age, Zhang Xueliang once said that if Guo Songling had not been betrayed by Feng Yuxiang and successfully taken the northeast into his own hands, then Japan would not have dared to launch the September 18 Incident easily, and China would not have suffered so much.
