He, with his average appearance, suffered from stuttering, and was sometimes called "Wu Da Tongue"; he, who felt careless, was actually as meticulous as a haircut; he, who was well versed in how to behave in the world, Zhang Zuolin first despised him and later had great respect for him; he became the commander-in-chief of security in the three northeastern provinces from a horse dealer, and he was also the second most important figure in the warlord clan.
This person is Wu Junsheng. Wu Junsheng, the character Xiufeng, the original name of Zhao'en, later changed to Junsheng, the character Xingquan, originally from Licheng, Shandong. The Wu family has been farming for generations, and later due to the difficulties of life, the family moved to the northeast to earn a living. Wu Junsheng was young and naughty, and once made a living by selling horses with his father.
At the age of 17, Wu Junsheng joined the Liaoyuan bandit hunting camp, and because of his bravery in battle, he was promoted to the commander of the rear road patrol team, an alternate general, and was appreciated by the Shengjing generals Zengqi, Zhao Erxun, xu Shichang, the governor of the three eastern provinces, and other influential figures, and his official positions were also promoted repeatedly. However, what really makes Wu Junsheng remembered by posterity is because he became Zhang Zuolin's right and left arm.
After Zhang Zuolin became a veritable "King of Northeast China", Wu Junsheng came to Zhang Zuolin's side. In March 1921, Zhang Zuolin recommended Wu Junsheng to the Beijing government to make him the governor of Heilongjiang and acting governor.
After the outbreak of the First Zhifeng War, Zhang Zuolin appointed Wu Junsheng as the rear guard of the Feng army. After the defeat of the Feng army, the Beijing government appointed Wu Junsheng as the overseer of Fengtian in order to split the Feng clan, but Was rejected by Wu Junsheng's stern words. In 1926, Zhang Zuolin telegraphed the whole country and declared the independence of the three eastern provinces, and Wu Junsheng was appointed deputy commander of the Northeast Security And Heilongjiang Security Commander.
In November 1925, Guo Songling raised an army in Luanzhou and issued a "declaration of anti-feng". After Guo Songling defected, Zhang Zuolin summoned Wu Junsheng to discuss countermeasures, during which Wu Junsheng swore an oath and said, "General, I and Guo Devilzi are at odds, and there is no me. I fought him to the death. I cut his way back! ”
After Guo Songling's rebellion was quelled, Zhang Zuolin proposed to hand over all the military affairs of the Feng clan to Wu Junsheng, but Wu Junsheng refused, "I can't take on the position for a day, you don't do it, let's leave it together." From this incident, we can also see that Zhang Zuolin has absolute trust in Wu Junsheng.
In June 2, 1928, Zhang Zuolin announced that he would withdraw from Beijing by telegram and return to Shenyang. Zhang Zuolin had received a possible assassination of him by the Japanese, and in order to ensure his safety, Zhang Zuolin had planned to take the road to Gubeikou by car, but because the road was uneven, he finally gave up.
At the same time, his subordinates persuaded Zhang Zuolin to take the train, and Wu Junsheng said that he guaranteed the safety of the section from Yuguan to Shenyang. At 4 p.m. on June 3, Zhang Zuolin's special train arrived at Shanhaiguan, and Wu Junsheng specially rushed to greet him, and then boarded a train to accompany Zhang Zuolin back to Shenyang. Everyone knows what happened in the end, and Zhang Zuolin was killed by the explosion. At the time of the explosion, Wu Junsheng stuck a nail in the head and died on the spot, at the age of 65.
