Zhang Zuolin was ambitious and bent on occupying the Central Plains. Shortly after the second victory of the Zhifeng War, infighting broke out among the Feng army, and Guo Songling rebelled against The Feng dynasty and seriously injured Lao Zhang Yuanqi. Years of war have led to rising military spending, and in 1926 the military expenditure has reached 70 million yuan, almost all the income of the northeast that year.
The Fengtian Provincial Department of Finance was basically hollowed out, and in desperation, it could only set up a clever name, increase taxes, and suck the marrow out of the bones. As a result, Fengtian City was depressed, and the people did not have a good life. The well-off situation at that time was only a flash in the pan.
Zhang Zuolin
Zhang Zuolin not only set up various harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but also borrowed more than ten million yuan from Japan and other powers. At the same time, the Fengtian Provincial Department of Finance issued huge amounts of public bonds to the society and forced the gentry to buy them. In order to fight a big battle with money, Zhang Zuolin did not hesitate to destroy thousands of acres of land to plant opium, open a tobacco house, and collect tobacco taxes.
The people are not fed or clothed, the profits from the sale of goods by small merchants are not enough to pay taxes, and when the goods are sold out, they will go bankrupt and have no money to buy goods. Some black hands in Fengtian's financial circles have colluded with Japan's "financial exchanges" to become traitors, buy low and sell high, coax up the trading market, and make a lot of money.
The northeast economy almost collapsed, and Zhang Zuolin was so angry that he scolded: Is it so evil that the current foreign ticket is so evil? More difficult to govern than a thousand armies and horses? He ordered the director of the Fengtian Police Department to arrest and shoot all the managers of the big silver number and the qianzhuang and report the list.

The money earned by the managers of these big silver trumpets has not yet been warmed up, and their heads are lost. Zhang Zuolin looked at the list and suddenly found that a big fish was missing, who is this person? It was Liu Hongsheng, the assistant of Lao Zhang's own "Industrial Bank". This person is a handsome financial celebrity, and he is the biggest black hand behind the scenes in the crowd of people who sell real foreign countries.
Zhang Zuolin called Liu Hongsheng, who learned that the managers of the Big Silver Had lost their lives, and were panicking, when he heard Lao Zhang call himself to go, he knew that he was more fierce and less lucky, and he could only go to see Zhang Zuolin with a hard scalp.
Zhang Zuolin said: I heard that you have been jumping quite happily lately?
Liu Hongsheng trembled and said: Grand Marshal Mingcha, there are many rumors in the world, and Grand Marshal should not listen to it.
Zhang Zuolin suddenly narrowed his eyes and showed a fierce light: "Do you fucking dare to dismantle my platform?" Go on the scamp?
Zhang Zuolin
Liu Hongsheng was frightened and took a step backwards: the big marshal was clear, and the small one did not dare.
Zhang Zuolin smiled slyly: "Okay, then you borrow me a gadget to use."
When Liu Hongsheng heard that he could save his life, he hurriedly said: Despite the instructions of the Grand Marshal, he can give anything.
Lao Zhang said viciously: Then I will borrow your human head to use, say it, order the guards, pull outside and shoot them.
Zhang Xuecheng, the nephew of Lao Zhang, also fished out in this financial chaos, smuggling the current ocean to the Yokohama Shokin Bank in Japan to make huge profits. When Lao Zhang learned of this, he ordered Zhang Xuecheng to be shot and publicized everywhere, showing lao Zhang's selflessness and determination to control financial chaos. After the September 18 Incident, Zhang Xuecheng suddenly appeared and defected to the Japanese as a traitor, and was later killed in western Liaoning. People know that Zhang Zuolin just acted in a play.

Zhang Zuolin also ordered the police stations in Liaoyang, Xinmin, and other places to arrest the manager of the big silver trumpet, parade through the streets and shoot him. For a time, the city was full of silver trumpets, and almost all the money houses were closed and closed, and there was an official exchange price for the ocean hanging at the door, but no one exchanged it.
Wang Yongjiang, the governor of Fengtian Province, made a proposal to Zhang Zuolin: Stop the troops and strike the war and rest and recuperate. This Wang Yongjiang is a figure that Zhang Zuolin greatly admires; during his tenure as director of the Fengtian Finance Department, he vigorously reformed the people's livelihood, set up industries, encouraged the exploitation of land, attached importance to education, reduced the number of soldiers, and reduced military expenditure. Created the most prosperous period of Fengtian.
Wang Yongjiang
But at this time, Wang Yongjiang's words, Zhang Zuolin could not listen to it at all, and old Zhang ran all the way on the road of exhausting soldiers and martial arts, and finally attracted the disaster of killing himself, and Huanggu Tun made a loud noise, and a generation of tyrants fell.
