"As long as there is you where there is me, even the end of the world dares to go with you."
This heartfelt confession is said to be zhang Xueliang's second room, the "lady of the army" Gu Ruiyu's oath to Zhang Xueliang.
Gu Ruiyu was the first woman Zhang Xueliang to give her own name, but after that, her name seemed to be a taboo, and it was almost forgotten in the love history of the young marshal.
Even if she accompanied Zhang Xueliang's days, it was mostly a battlefield full of gunfire, the closest place to the Realm of Death.
How vigorous were Gu Ruiyu and Zhang Xueliang back then, and how desolate and cold the ending was, what was the purpose of a man being so desperate for a woman who was with his life and death?
As the young marshal's wife, Gu Ruiyu's life is very unclear.
Gu Ruiyu
Some people say that she was born in Tianjin's declining family, and most of her sisters were the wives of officers in the Fengjun Army, so she got the moon first in the water building, and she and Zhang Xueliang secretly spent Chen Cang at a young age.
Some people say that she is a mixture of Chinese and Russian blood, and unfortunately became the "Lady of the Pressed Village" of the Jiamusi bandit "Old Zhandong", and Zhang Xueliang fell in love with the beauty at first sight when he suppressed the bandits, so she became his forbidden body.
Either way, it is enough to become the main theme of a legendary wind and snow moon, but in the story of Gu Ruiyu and Zhang Xueliang, these are just preludes and side dishes that no one cares about.
Because the process of capturing the young marshal with the grassroots beauty "one sword sealing the throat" is compared with the result of the loss of favor at the speed of light, the past of the beautiful woman is all eclipsed.
Gu Ruiyu and Zhang Xueliang's love affair became on the battlefield, and finally on the battlefield, her ups and downs in this life were intertwined with iron and blood, such as her identity as "Lady of the Army".
It is full of romantic wonders unique to the Republic of China, but also cannot hide the strong smell of blood in the chaotic world.
Gu Ruiyu and Zhang Xueliang's first acquaintance should be after the end of the First Zhifeng War.
Chang
The great chaos of the warlords directly under the direct lineage is one of the chaos in the Republic of China, and it is also a great purge within the Beiyang warlords, and the new forces that receive education in the Republic of China are replaced by the old forces that made their fortunes in the late Qing Dynasty.
Zhang Xueliang is one of the representative figures, after all, the Fengzhi warlord is quite special, Zhang Zuolin, a lowly bandit leader, actually raised a son who can take over the family business.
Although Zhang Xueliang can't talk about Long Zhang Fengzi, in the second ancestor who basically has five poisons and can only eat, drink and have fun, he can also be called "someone else's child".
The First Zhifeng War was Zhang Xueliang's first time as the commander of the Front, and he was on his own on the battlefield.
No matter who it is, they will be deeply impressed by those important "firsts" in their lives, and Gu Ruiyu appeared in Zhang Xueliang's life at such a time.
Gu Ruiyu is a well-educated woman, especially good at English, which also sets her apart from Zhang Xueliang's common fat powder at her fingertips.
Because he suffered a heavy loss in the Zhifeng War, Zhang Zuolin not only made up his mind to let his son succeed the group of "old brothers" who started with him, but also took out blood to upgrade equipment and expand the army.
Therefore, Zhang Xueliang, as the representative of the Feng Army, negotiated with arms dealers from various countries to purchase weapons, during which Gu Ruiyu, with his proficiency in English, closely followed Zhang Xueliang and provided him with a lot of help.
Negotiating the arms business is naturally indispensable to various test guns and guns, and the affection between Gu Ruiyu and Zhang Xueliang is constantly growing with the smell of gun smoke.
However, this "chemical reaction" between men and women did not produce any substantive results after that.
At this time, Zhang Xueliang and his wife Yu Fengzhi had been married for several years, and the marriage was personally decided by Zhang Zuolin, and after marriage, Yu Fengzhi showed extraordinary virtuousness and ability, and even gave birth to a daughter and three sons.
Therefore, Yu Fengzhi's identity as the grandmother and young marshal of the Zhang family is unbreakable from all aspects.
Yu Fengzhi
Although Zhang Xueliang did not have any deep affection for this original wife who was three years older than him, he also trusted him very much, and from a certain point of view, this capable "big sister" was his best shield.
After all, Zhang Xueliang often does some ridiculous things such as cockfighting, gambling on dogs, and messing with flowers and grass, although Zhang Zuolin will not be more real, but he still has to discipline on the face, and at that time, yu Fengzhi is needed to play the round court.
What's more, Zhang Xueliang has never broken all kinds of peach blossom debts around him, and although he has a reputation for being in a bad mood, he does not want to be responsible for the peach blossoms he provokes.
Whenever the peach blossoms are entangled and Zhang Xueliang does not want to entangle, a zhengtang wife who is known for her "strictness" is the best excuse for him to avoid the lawsuit.
Therefore, although he and Gu Ruiyu'er were hot, after the negotiations with the arms dealer, Zhang Xueliang left.
But Gu Ruiyu moved her heart, and she eagerly followed Zhang Xueliang's dynamics and wrote letters to contact him from time to time.
Therefore, after Zhang Xueliang, there were countless dew lovers, but he never forgot the tall and plump beauty.
However, Zhang Xueliang's main thoughts in those years were still not on women, at that time, in addition to the direct warlords wanting to fight with them to the death, what he was really worried about was his father's group of old subordinates.
Zhang Zuolin
No one would easily return the power already in their hands, and Zhang Zuolin's attempt to pass on the military power in the hands of these old subordinates to his son caused great dissatisfaction among the Fengjun.
Zhang Xueliang urgently needs a "big war" to prove himself, so as to deter those ambitious and insatiable "uncles".
In 1924, the Second Zhifeng War began, and although Zhang Zuolin was still the nominal commander-in-chief of the Fengjun Army, the actual command of the battlefield had been fully handed over to Zhang Xueliang.
There were strong enemies on the outside, and there were "old courtiers" who were pregnant with ghost fetuses inside, which made Zhang Xueliang on the battlefield a little anxious, and at this moment, a letter of condolence with a fragrant aroma was delivered to his hands.
The letter was sent by Gu Ruiyu, which was full of thoughts and deep feelings for Zhang Xueliang, and even more desperately said that no matter how difficult and dangerous it was, she would go to the front line to visit him.
At the low point of physical and mental exhaustion, getting such an almost fanatical love and support made Zhang Xueliang very moved, he neither supported nor opposed, wanting to see what step Gu Ruiyu could do.
Unexpectedly, Gu Ruiyu really braved the rain of bullets and bullets, broke through the layers of fronts, and came to Zhang Xueliang to show him his heart.
This time Zhang Xueliang was really impressed, he had met countless women who threw themselves into his arms, but he had never seen such a bold woman who did not want to die and just wanted to stay with him.
Gu Ruiyu, who was crazy and brave, also left a deep imprint on Zhang Xueliang's heart.
The Second Zhifeng War ended with a complete victory for the Feng army, and thousands of lives died in this meaningless infighting, and Zhang Xueliang also secured his position in the Feng army.
Gu Ruiyu, as a witness to this scene, also received special attention from Zhang Xueliang, who did not want to let go of her easily, and she wanted a formal name.
Zhang Xueliang was a little embarrassed about Gu Ruiyu's request, and he knew that the real resistance was never Yu Fengzhi, but Zhang Zuolin.
Although Zhang Zuolin was constantly surrounded by three wives and four concubines, he disciplined his son very strictly, especially not allowing Zhang Xueliang to take concubines as he pleased.
Zhang Zuolin has a bad feeling for Gu Ruiyu, on the one hand, his concept is old, and he does not like this kind of new school of women who take the initiative to chase men without the words of their parents.
On the one hand, I heard that Gu Ruiyu liked to communicate, not only made a wide range of friends among the famous ladies in Beijing and Tianjin, but also had close contacts with many female relatives in the Fengjun.
Zhang Zuolin felt that such a woman was "uneasy in the room", and when she entered the house, she was stirring up the family essence.
However, Gu Ruiyu and Zhang Xueliang's "battlefield love", the love is extraordinary, Zhang Xueliang also revealed his desire to stay with Gu Ruiyu.
In order to curry favor with the "young marshal", Yang Yuting, the "dog-headed military master" next to Zhang Zuolin, pondered Zhang Xueliang's thoughts and revealed Gu Ruiyu's affairs to Zhang Zuolin.
Although Zhang Zuolin did not like such a thing, Zhang Xueliang had just won the battle at this time, and Zhang Zuolin wanted to give his son some sweetness as a reward, so he acquiesced to Zhang Xueliang's calculations.
Zhang Xueliang learned from Yang Yuting that he had obtained Lao Tzu's permission, and immediately formally gave Gu Ruiyu a feast in Tianjin.
However, after the fact, Zhang Zuolin's "three chapters of the covenant law" also followed: the first required Gu Ruiyu not to sing on stage, the second was not allowed to over-communicate, and the third was not allowed to participate in important military and political affairs.
Judging from these three "restraint orders," Zhang Zuolin did investigate Gu Ruiyu and knew that she liked to hold court ticket plays and also liked to gang up among female relatives in both military and political circles.
When Gu Ruiyu was Zhang Xueliang's underground lover, these preferences were her personal affairs, but after she officially had a name, Zhang Xueliang was responsible for all this.
Whether Gu Ruiyu had this preference at the beginning or was later seduced by people with ulterior motives has been well defined, but her personality is biased towards being adventurous and she loves to act through the network.
If it is not impulsive and impulsive and with the assistance of a network of contacts, no matter how hot the love fire is, it is difficult to translate the determination to brave the front into action.
Gu Ruiyu personally loves Zhang Xueliang fiercely and bluntly, but to let her fire "burn" in front of Zhang Xueliang, she really needs some other people to assist.
Zhang Zuolin was keenly aware of this, and his lustful "stupid big boy" was only afraid of putting a time bomb around him, and in order not to expand the danger, he also made some arrangements.
In addition to the three chapters of the Covenant Law, Zhang Zuolin also hinted to everyone that Gu Ruiyu could not officially enter the Zhang family, but could only be regarded as Zhang Xueliang's outer room, even if he arrived in Shenyang, he could not live in the Zhang family's inner residence.
Yu Feng once again carried "this pot" on her back, and in the name that she did not like Zhang Xueliang's private second room, she turned Gu Ruiyu away.
Zhang Xueliang also understood these family affairs and did not ask for more.
In addition to buying a mansion in Tianjin to house Gu Ruiyu, Zhang Xueliang also bought a small building at No. 28 Jingsan Road in Shenyang as Gu Ruiyu's residence when he came to Shenyang.
Army armaments
When the two first became relatives, it can be said that it is like glue, and no matter where Zhang Xueliang goes, Gu Ruiyu is by his side.
However, the three things that Zhang Zuolin was worried about were also gradually revealed.
Gu Ruiyu not only befriended everywhere as a young marshal such as his wife, but also fought fiercely with the female relatives of fengjun families, especially Guo Songling's wife and Yang Yuting's aunt and wife, with whom they had close personal relations.
The interaction with these people became the source of Gu Ruiyu's future relationship with Zhang Xueliang.
In 1925, in order to compete for territory, Zhang Xueliang led an army to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and Gu Ruiyu once again accompanied him as the "lady of the army".
This time, because of the fatigue of the boat and the water and soil, Gu Ruiyu can be said to have suffered a lot, and he once had a skin allergy all over his body and vomited for days.
These hardships, because there is a strong love in the heart to support, so Gu Ruiyu is willing to eat, many years later Zhang Xueliang recalled is also very touched.
But the problem is that Zhang Xueliang was running around fighting at that time, and Gu Ruiyu's physical pain would only bring pressure to both of them, and it seemed that they were facing difficulties together, but Gu Ruiyu really helped.
In 1925, Zhang Xueliang's teacher, Guo Songling, a giant in the Fengjun army, suddenly revolted and defected, and Zhang Xueliang, while meeting with the former enshi and soldiers, wanted to suppress the veteran general of the Feng clan who was eager to move, and was trapped in internal and external affairs.
This kind of military and political event originally had nothing to do with Gu Ruiyu, but zhang Zuolin's worries at that time exploded the first thunder at this time.
It turned out that Gu Ruiyu liked to communicate, and Guo Songling and his wife both had friendships and often corresponded, and now Guo Songling had become a traitor to fengjun, and their contact with Gu Ruiyu was delicate.
However, it is said that Gu Ruiyu and Guo Songling are really a bit wronged because of the collusion of interests, and the reason why Gu Ruiyu and Guo Are good friends is only because Guo Songling has supported her and Zhang Xueliang's love affair.
Although Gu Ruiyu was favored by Zhang Xueliang, because of Zhang Zuolin's attitude, in fact, Fengjun looked down on her somewhat.
On the left is Zhang Xueliang
Gu Ruiyu is a tall, plump, exotic beauty, this type of beauty in the Northeast during the Republic of China has a specific name, that is, "Ocean Horse".
All tall, curvy, snow-white-skinned, Russian-style women will have such a nickname, although not completely derogatory, but it is not a beautiful talk.
And Zhang Xueliang's subordinates privately called Gu Ruiyu "Dayangma", and from this title with three points of ridicule, we can know gu Ruiyu's status and situation around Zhang Xueliang.
As Zhang Xueliang's most important teacher and friend, Guo Songling has more respect for Gu Ruiyu, and once suggested that Zhang Xueliang let Gu Ruiyu carry out education.
Therefore, Gu Ruiyu and the Guo family have a relatively good friendship, which is actually a common sentiment of people, but Guo Songling's backstab on Zhang Zuolin has made many people unlucky, and Gu Ruiyu is one of them.
After that, Gu Ruiyu's life seemed to have brought the acceleration button of "bad luck", and almost everything did not go well.
Guo Songling
The dissatisfaction caused by the "southward march" in 1925 not only made Gu Ruiyu suffer, but Zhang Xueliang's body also collapsed by more than half.
Therefore, by the time of the duel with Guo Songling in the winter, Zhang Xueliang's body had been extremely overdrawn, and during this period, he became addicted to opium under the temptation of many parties.
Gu Ruiyu is more or less one of the causes of this catastrophe, although the cause is still because of love and ignorance.
People in the Republic of China era had many ignorant interpretations of opium, only looking at the illusory appearance it brought to people and not knowing its great harm as a drug.
Gu Ruiyu saw that Zhang Xueliang was in physical pain and lack of energy, and listened to the advice of his girlfriend (Mrs. Yang Yuting) and created conditions for Zhang Xueliang to smoke opium in a private environment, resulting in aggravation of addiction.
As a lady accompanying the army, taking care of Zhang Xueliang's body is one of Gu Ruiyu's responsibilities, and this result is her dereliction of duty, Zhang Zuolin is furious, and Gu Ruiyu has no place to stand in the Zhang family.
After Zhang Xueliang became addicted to drugs, his body deteriorated, and Gu Ruiyu had already regretted it at this time, and sought a famous doctor everywhere to give Zhang Xueliang drug rehabilitation.
Guo Songling (right)
However, because of ignorance and worry, Gu Ruiyu rushed to the doctor, and the doctors he found not only failed to return, but a Japanese doctor with a suspicious origin even let Zhang Xueliang change from smoking opium to morphine.
Gu Ruiyu tossed and turned, not only did not alleviate Zhang Xueliang's drug addiction, but on the contrary, it deteriorated, and the relationship between the two produced an irreconcilable rift.
Gu Ruiyu, once for Zhang Xueliang, represented sexiness, wild love, and endless passion; now she only reminds Zhang Xueliang of physical pain, the betrayal of her mentor, and the fangs of drugs.
Of course, Zhang Xueliang knew the harm of drugs and did his best to find a way to get rid of control, while Gu Ruiyu was like a scar burned by an opium smoking gun, as long as he faced it, he could not escape his own depravity.
Although he could not get rid of drugs quickly, Zhang Xueliang did start to escape from Gu Ruiyu.
The left one is Lin and the right one is Xueliang
No matter what Gu Ruiyu asked, Zhang Xueliang no longer took her with him, but placed her in an outer mansion in Tianjin.
In order to get rid of loneliness, Gu Ruiyu is more sociable, and no longer cares about Zhang Zuolin's requirements and Zhang Xueliang's face, and arbitrarily sends Mei Lanfang and other Famous Peking Opera singers in the name of the young marshal's wife.
Mei Lanfang and other popular Peking Opera celebrities, arranged countless performances, Gu Ruiyu so casually cut into the team to offend not only the actors themselves, but also other celebrities.
Although Feng Jun has successfully entered the customs, he is still very cautious in running Beijing, Tianjin and other places, and he will not offend people when he is idle, and Gu Ruiyu's style of doing so is undoubtedly a lot of honeycombs.
Gu Ruiyu's high-profile style is actually out of fear of the gradual dissipation of love, and she has to constantly test the bottom line by touching taboos in exchange for Zhang Xueliang's recognition and attention to her.
Two people who were once madly in love can only rely on poking each other's wounds to prove that the other is still close to them.
Mei Lanfang
Zhang Xueliang has never been a person who will wronged himself, and when Gu Ruiyu brings him more pain than pleasure, this amorous and ruthless man chooses to snub.
However, Gu Ruiyu was indeed Zhang Xueliang's proudest trophy proof, and he was also the first woman to choose and decide independently, so Zhang Xueliang would not do things to the extreme.
But the half-dead "Cold Palace" is not something that Gu Ruiyu can endure, her love is spawned in the fire of war, and the temperature required is by no means satisfied by this superficial relationship.
So she crossed the line again, and this time the consequences were the most dangerous.
On June 4, 1928, the Japanese assassinated Zhang Zuolin in Huanggutun, and Zhang Xueliang, in order to arrange the aftermath, initially chose not to send a funeral, so as to block the news and hoodwink the Japanese.
However, Gu Ruiyu felt that going to the funeral as his daughter-in-law was a good opportunity to justify his name, so he ignored Zhang Xueliang's many arrangements to go to Shenyang.
The road from Tianjin to Shenyang, including the city of Shenyang, is actually extremely dangerous and has become an invisible battlefield, but Gu Ruiyu has plunged into it without hesitation, just like when she ran to Zhang Xueliang.
This was her last struggle, as if having completed this adventure, she was recognized by the Zhang family and became the young marshal's wife that no one questioned.
This time, although Gu Ruiyu arrived as smoothly as that year, the result was diametrically opposed, and she was defeated.
Because Gu Ruiyu ignored the move to Shenyang, the Japanese immediately became suspicious of Zhang Xueliang's practice of concealing the news of his death, and judged the truth about Zhang Zuolin's death.
Zhang Xueliang was annoyed that Gu Ruiyu did not care about the overall situation, and realized that she was only afraid of being used again, otherwise the Japanese would not be so direct to the point, and from then on they were even more distant from Gu Ruiyu.
After that, all of Gu Ruiyu's struggles became a struggle, and Zhang Xueliang regarded her as the embodiment of drugs and the eyeliner of the Japanese, and could not meet without meeting.
In 1931, the two who had not seen each other for a long time finally agreed to divorce, and Zhang Xueliang seemed to be generous to Gu Ruiyu with 100,000 living expenses and a mansion in Tianjin.
But just like Zhang Zuolin at that time, Zhang Xueliang also put forward three conditions, which were like a sword cutting off all their fiery passions.
Zhang Xueliang's former residence in Tianjin
The first condition is that from now on, she will not be allowed to show her face in the name of Mrs. Zhang Xueliang;
The second condition is that you are not allowed to be a prostitute;
The third condition is that you can remarry, but you cannot remarry the name of your husband.
These three conditions are like three icebergs, sealing the last hope and love in Gu Ruiyu's heart in the depths of the ice field.
Zhang Xueliang actually thought that he would degenerate into becoming a prostitute?! Zhang Xueliang didn't even want to let himself have anything to do with her anymore?!
Once because of love, Gu Ruiyu was willing to follow Zhang Xueliang to the end of the world, and now because of love, Gu Ruiyu decided to hide his name from now on.
Gu Ruiyu agreed to all of Zhang Xueliang's requests and disappeared into the long river of history, just like her origins, there is no conclusion about her ending.
The only thing that is certain is that she has indeed never lived a day in the name of Mrs. Zhang Xueliang, let alone fallen into the dust.
This woman seems to have been born to shine through Zhang Xueliang's life, the most brilliant and the most short, and it will disappear in a flash.
Love Him, so everything goes as He wishes.
