The bearded generation of Hu Shuai is not without its merits. He ran the army well, and Zhang Zongchang, a famous soldier of the Republic of China, was also a bandit, taking refuge in Zhang Feng. Zhang treated him very well and even gambled for him. Zhang Zongchang, a strong man, became a valiant soldier under escort. But Zhang Zongchang was careless and had no scruples. He came back from Heilongjiang to meet the doorman. Before he reached the guard room, he shouted, "Old man, Xiao Kun is back ..." His voice did not fall, but Zhang patted the shore and shouted, "Get out! Are you a soldier? Mom, pull a bazi and be at home! Re-enter me! " Scared Shandong man broke out in a cold sweat and was dumbfounded. He stopped at once, turned and walked out. Then, he turned around at the door, raised his hand and saluted, and shouted, "Report! Zhang Zongchang is coming! " Don't go into the house to listen to the training until you talk inside.

And Zhang's way of dealing with the Japanese is also very unique. Once he attended a Japanese cocktail party and drank for three rounds. A celebrity from Japan urged the guards to praise these words. He knew that Zhang was born in an outlaw, had a limited educational level and wanted to make a fool of himself in public. However, Zhang grabbed the pen, wrote a tiger character, and then wrote an inscription. Amid applause, he threw the pen back on the table. The oriental celebrity laughed when he heard the words "Zhang has a black hand". The waiter quickly approached the guard's ear to remind him, "The word' ink' written by the guard is black without a word' earth' underneath." I didn't expect Zhang to be glared at and scolded, "Damn that Bazi! I don't know how to write the word "ink" yet. With the Japanese, don't be dark, okay? This is called' not giving an inch of land!' "The China people present smiled with an epiphany, while the Japanese were dumbfounded. This story of "not allowing an inch of land" has been passed down to this day, and it is precisely because of these vivid and interesting stories that Zhang's name is a household name in this black land of Northeast China.

Zhang is a very smooth person. During the Russo-Japanese War, he helped everywhere and attacked everywhere. Neither Russia nor Japan dared to offend him. Of course, he offended both sides. During the Russo-Japanese War, he handled well between the Qing court, Japan and Russia. He took a negative attitude towards the "neutral policy" of the imperial court, and took a two-pronged, opportunistic and profitable position against Japan and Russia in the fierce struggle. After tempering in a complex environment, Zhang has developed the ability to deal with several enemies at the same time.

In fact, the relationship between Zhang and Sun Yat-sen is also extraordinary. Sun Yat-sen once got Zhang's help. Sun Yat-sen also sent his son and Wang Jingwei to the northeast to celebrate Zhang's birthday. In Beijing, the sick Sun Yat-sen came to Zhang's residence. As a return visit to Zhang, Zhang Xueliang was sent to the hotel where Dr. Sun Yat-sen stayed. At the time of his death, Dr. Sun Yat-sen expounded on his deathbed that "your northeast is between the red and white empires".

In the 14th year of the Republic of China, in the winter of 1925, the chief of staff of the Japanese Kwantung Army approached Zhang on the occasion of the rebellion in Guo Songling and proposed to send troops to stop the advance. Zhang Ning fled without taking refuge with the Japanese, so he said, "If I approach the provincial capital, I'm going to Lushun or Dalian for temporary shelter. Please help me." Saito took the opportunity to come up with five pre-typed requirements for Zhang to sign. The main content of the five requirements is to let the Japanese, like the Japanese, enjoy the right to live and do business freely in the three northeastern provinces and East Mongolia, and hand over the administrative power of the island areas to the Japanese.

After Zhang knew it, he swore: "The Japanese are black-hearted, and they are all cheating in the next circle." And said to his subordinates, "I can never agree to the demands made by the Japanese, lest my elders in the three northeastern provinces scold me as a traitor." Zhou Dawen, director of the Grand Marshal's Office, recalled: "On May 1928, Japanese Ambassador to China Kenji Yoshizawa asked to see Zhang, and Zhang Jiang left Kenji Yoshizawa hanging in the living room. He shouted in another room, "The Japanese are not loyal, but they took the opportunity to blackmail me. I gave up this stinking bag and couldn't betray the rights of the country and let people accuse me of being a traitor.

Ji Tianmao, Consul General of Japan in Toyota, made representations on behalf of China and Japan. He once proudly said to Zhang, "If you really don't accept it, the Japanese side should have another way." Zhang Nai retorted, "what do you mean? If you have any good ideas, take them out. Is it necessary to send troops again? My surname is Zhang, waiting for you. " After that, he got up to see Fujian off, which made Ji Tianmao very embarrassed and had to resign and leave Shenyang. The Japanese look down on Zhang. They think that this bandit-born, uneducated warlord has no political mind and can be used casually. However, when they saw this difficult northeast ruler become the grand marshal, they realized that they had met a master, a warm-blooded man who never bowed his head. At this time, the Japanese just want to get rid of the immediate difficulties. They have dug a death trap for Zhang. ...

As the editor-in-chief of Miller Review, a western newspaper in China, Mr. Powell once interviewed Zhang. At that time, Zhang said that his interest was the reunification of China. After returning to China, the American also expressed his respect for this humble marshal in his memoirs. Although Northeast China has been under the iron heel of Japanese warlords for a long time, Zhang is often not allowed to obey orders, but after all, he deserves to be a patriotic China native.

Zhang Zhi's family is strict, and he has a good family style. His brother-in-law is a guard beside him, and he runs amok outside in the name of a guard. He had nothing to do at night, and even took the street lamp as a target and smashed it all. People in municipal construction were very angry when they learned about it, but they were afraid to say it. Hearing this, Zhang said angrily, "Kill it." Men care about Zhang's face, say good things and ask for leniency. Zhang personally enforced the law that night. The family doesn't understand how to shoot people when several light bulbs are broken and replaced with new ones. Zhang Dao: "I made a mistake at home and lost my face. I sabotaged it outside and lost the bad atmosphere in Fengtian City." In the future, people who are in charge of the family will be more cautious, and no one will act perversely and make trouble. People in Fengtian City know this and have more respect for Zhang. It is said that Zhang Dashuai has its own rules that no one can break.

Zhang Xueliang is the brigade commander of the third brigade, which is an independent brigade and Zhang's trump card. Zhang was wandering around the city in casual clothes when he suddenly heard several people sigh that the people in the third brigade were bullying and robbing. Zhang flew into a rage. Going home to see Zhang Xueliang is even more furious. He swore for half an hour. Zhang Xueliang bowed his head and didn't dare to speak. You could hear the sound of falling needles in the hall. Finally, Zhang Zuolin imprisoned Zhang Xueliang alone for three days. No one is allowed to visit him, and no one is allowed to intercede, otherwise they will be punished together. When the news came out, the whole army was shocked. Considering that even Jong can't escape this punishment, no one dares to do evil again.
