Zhang's skill is not inferior to Nurhachi, and the process of Zhang's prosperity is even more difficult than Nurhachi! Compared with Nurhachi's official second-generation status, Zhang started from scratch, just like Zhu Yuanzhang, or just a little better than Zhu Yuanzhang.
(Zhang)
Zhang, a native of Hebei Province, is from Xiaowatun, Jiazhangsi village, Fengcheng County. In the early years, Fengtian area was in chaos because of the Sino-Japanese War, and Zhang devoted himself to the green forest to make a living. Later, he came to the Boxer Rebellion, safeguarded national security, became famous, and was quickly wooed by the Qing court.
After the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, the rule of the Qing court in Northeast China collapsed again, and Fengtian became the main battlefield of Japan and Russia, while Zhang wandered between Japan and Russia and established contact with the Japanese.
After the Russo-Japanese War, the Qing court abolished the jurisdiction of the Northeast Eight Banners and established Heilongjiang, Jilin and Fengtian provinces. Zhang was appointed as the head of Fengtian Tourism Camp.
After the demise of the Qing court, Zhang quickly took refuge in Yuan Shikai, who appointed him as the 27 th division commander, while his younger brother Feng was appointed as the 28 th division commander. However, Yuan Shikai was not at ease with Zhang. 19 15, Zhang appointed Duan as general and governor of Fengtian, ranking above Zhang and Feng.
When Zhang and Feng were planning how to get rid of Duan, Yuan Shikai brazenly proclaimed himself emperor and was denounced by the whole country. While Zhang and Feng took advantage of Yuan Shikai's failure to claim the title of emperor, crowding out Duan. Since then, Zhang, our main competitor, has paid no attention to Feng.
19 17 Restoration and Feng made a wrong choice. He personally went to Beijing to express his support for the Qing court. Zhang was keenly aware that Zhang Xun had no future, so he didn't go with him. The restoration was indeed a flash in the pan. Zhang Xun was easily defeated by Duan, and Feng was also arrested by Duan's army in Tianjin. Zhang, as Feng's younger brother, personally interceded and redeemed him, but Feng lost power and Zhang dominated the Northeast.
19 18, Zhang was appointed as the visiting ambassador of the three northeastern provinces by Duan, which means that the Beiyang government recognized his position in the northeast.
During his administration in Northeast China, Zhang actively developed education and industry and commerce. Northeast industry has developed rapidly, and cars, planes and ships have been built. This is a great achievement, which also makes Feng system become the most powerful warlord in Beiyang era.
Later, Zhang also entered the customs to conquer the world, and was appointed as a marshal of the Beiyang military government. His influence once reached as far as Shanghai. Although he was later defeated by the Northern Expeditionary Army and returned to the pass, his achievements have always been high. (Zhang was the head of Beiyang government)
To tell the truth, the surrounding environment was not good when Zhang rose. At that time, the south was all Japanese sphere of influence, with the Kwantung Army stationed, and the north was all Russian territory. Although Russia briefly abandoned the northern Manchuria region after the outbreak of the revolution, after the Soviet Union stabilized the situation, the Soviet Union took control of Zhongdong Road. These two countries, not to mention Zhang, at that time, the whole northern warlords could not fight together, and it was not easy for Zhang to grow up slowly under such circumstances.
In contrast, Nurhachi's father is the chief of Jianzhou Jurchen. After his father died, he was named General Dragon and Tiger by the Ming Dynasty, and he inherited the Jianzhou Department. He is an out-and-out official of the second generation, and he is an enemy of the Ming Dynasty. (Nurhachi)
Moreover, when Nuerhachi unified Jurchen, the opponents around him were a wave of waste wood, and Li, the company commander of Liaodong, was in the dark, which did not attract enough attention from Nuerhachi, so that Nuerhachi unified the various parts of Jurchen without external interference.
Until he openly opposed the Ming Dynasty, only the Nuzhen Yehe Department of Haixi was left. At this time, Nurhachi had 60,000 people in his hands. Although the Eight Banners have not been formally established at this time, the combat effectiveness of the Jurchen cavalry has awakened, and Nurhachi is fully capable of fighting the Ming army ... In the subsequent battle of Salhu, Nurhachi led the Ming army to be defeated by Houjin in one fell swoop, and then quickly swept across eastern Liaoning and gained a firm foothold.
Generally speaking, Nurhachi's resources are much better than Zhang's. Both of them were very powerful, but for Zhang Feng, they died too early.
On June 4th, 1928, on the way back to Shenyang by train, Zhang was bombed by the Japanese army, and Zhang was seriously injured. He died at the age of 53 when he was sent back to Shenyang that day. Huanggutun incident? .
To tell the truth, Zhang left too early, which was bad for Feng Hua, because he was assassinated before he could solve the Soviet-Japanese forces in the northeast. Nurhachi was 67 when he died. Although Nurhachi also died in an accident, Nurhachi lived longer than Zhang 14 years. During this period, Nurhachi pacified the whole interior of Jurchen, and when Huang Taiji ascended the throne, the rear of Houjin was stable.
Zhang's career began in Japan, but Zhang didn't want to be a traitor. He has been close to the Japanese and refused to sell the Northeast to Japan, which made the Japanese very angry.
However, the Japanese government did not dare to move. After all, Lao Zhang has hundreds of thousands of troops and enough guns and weapons. If there is a real fight, the Kwantung Army may not be able to cover it. So the Japanese tried to assassinate Zhang, then fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the chaos to win the Northeast.
Zhang is not ignorant of Japan's ideas, but he was caught off guard by the Japanese after all.
