Chapter 259 258. Zhang Xueliang kills Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai

On January 10, 18, Zhang Xueliang killed Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai in Fengtian's old commander's mansion. At the time, this was a political event that shocked China and the world. The young marshal Zhang Xueliang is no less important than his father Zhang Zuolin in modern Chinese history.He had a colorful life, achieved success at a young age, was famous all over the world, and had power in the Northeast.He was born in the first eleven years of the Republic of China (1900). He graduated from the Army Lecture Hall of the Three Eastern Provinces at the age of 19. war), at the age of 24, he served as the commander of the Second Army of the Zhenwei Army (the second Zhifeng War), and after the war, he served as the commander of the 27th Division of the Fengjun Army and the director of the aviation department of the three eastern provinces. At the age of 25, he served as the commander of the Third Front Army. At the age of 27, he served as the commander-in-chief of Fengjun South Road to fight against Yan Xishan's Jin army. At the age of 28, he commanded the third and fourth front armies of Fengjun. After Zhang Zuolin was killed in the bombing, he went out to command Fengjun.

In Zhang Xueliang's self-report, he admitted that he was young and lacked good teachers and friends. He lost his mother at the age of 11. His father was busy with military affairs and loved him very much.Therefore, when dealing with things, he relies on his own ingenuity and conscience intuition. Although he is passionate and romantic, he is irritable and courageous.His self-criticism is based on his experience and introspection during his experience of earth-shaking changes and years of indifferent life isolated from the world.In fact, he is smart, chivalrous, generous, and has many extraordinary strengths, which is why he was able to stabilize Fengjun's morale after the Huanggutun Incident.

The grievances and grievances between Zhang Xueliang and Yang Yuting have a long story, and they reached their apex when Guo Songling remonstrated. In fact, Zhang Xueliang is Zhang Zuolin's heir, and Yang Yuting is especially relied on by Zhang Zuolin. The conflicts of interest between the two have accumulated day by day. I can't tolerate such a big-tailed father. When Zhang Zuolin was killed, Yang Yuting was inspecting the troops in Luanzhou. On June 6, Zhang Xueliang went to Luanzhou in disguise. The two had a secret talk. According to what Zhang Xueliang told people afterwards, Zhang expressed his willingness to hand over Fengtian to Yang Yuting during the secret talk. , but Yang said arrogantly: I can work with your father, but I can't work with you. We don't agree with each other.

In late June 2017, when Shenyang was planning to elect the Northeast military and political leader, Yang Yuting sent a telegram to express his personal position, which said: "In the future, we should uphold his (referring to Zhang Zuolin's) will and focus on the overall situation of the three eastern provinces. Yu Tingzhong does not take the position, but only knows to obey the law. Hanshuai (Zhang Xueliang's word Hanqing) is the heir of the commander-in-chief. He inherits his father's will and is justified. I follow Hanshuai, just like a horse follows Jin. I hope that my robe will not reach Yu Ting's teeth again, it will be very fortunate. "

Yang's telegram shows that Yang has no ambition to oppose Zhang. In fact, only a few people in the Feng Clan advocated pushing Yang Yuting to succeed Zhang Zuolin at that time, and there were not many who advocated supporting Zhang Zuoxiang. After Zhang Xueliang became the security commander of the three eastern provinces, Yang Yuting had no new posts, but Yang had two posts for a long time in the Zhang Zuolin era.One is the General Councilor, and the other is the supervisor of Fengtian Arsenal.Regardless of Yang's announcement of any new posts, the two positions of general councilor and supervisor will still be held, so the Northeast military and politicians call Yang Yuting Yang supervisor.The Northeast Arsenal has always been in the hands of Yang Yuting. He can spend and ask for money as he wants. In the era of Marshal Zhang, Yang’s request for money was the priority.At that time, Fengtian Finance Director was Zhang Zhenjiu, who was often scolded by Yang Yuting because he couldn't pay the money he asked for.After Zhang Zongchang was defeated by the National Revolutionary Army in Luanzhou, he led the remnants of the army to retreat outside the customs. Feng Fang unanimously opposed it, because the situation in the Northeast required rest and recuperation, and a change of flag was in the works. In addition, Zhang Zongchang's usual actions made Feng Fang very dissatisfied. Therefore, it was decided to reject Zhang Zongchang's entry.Zhang Xueliang sent Yang Yuting to lead his troops to meet Zhang Zongchang.Before Yang sent troops, he asked Zhang, "What if Zhang Zongchang is captured?" Yang meant that if Zhang was captured and brought back, and Zhang Xueliang released him as a favor, wouldn't he be in an unrighteous place for me, so Ask first to understand.Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Zongchang had kowtowed and bowed before, so it was difficult for Zhang to answer Yang's question.At that time, Yuan Jinkai was by his side and strongly advocated "killing".Yang Nai asked Zhang if he followed Yuan Jinkai's wishes, and Zhang nodded in agreement.After Yang Yuting dispatched troops, Zhang Zongchang was captured alive.Yin Zhang didn't think that Feng Fang would actually beat him.Yang said to Zhang: "Hanqing told me to kill you, you run away, outside the pass is not your sanctuary." Zhang Zongchang was very angry when he heard this, he fled to Dalian and wrote a long letter scolding Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Xueliang It was only after receiving Zhang Zongchang's letter that Yang Yuting discovered Yang Yuting's conspiracy.

When Zhang Xueliang was planning to change the banner, all parties in the pass sent representatives to Shenyang to fight for Fengshi. Tang Shengzhi sent Liu Xing and Bai Chongxi sent Ye Qi to Shenyang one after another. They all went to see Yang Yuting first. In charge, Han Qing is a child, so don't bother with him.Both Liu Xing and Ye Qi believed it was true, so they didn't rush to see the young marshal.Later, at a public meeting, Zhang Xueliang saw Liu Xing and was very surprised. Because Liu Xing said he was sent by Tang Shengzhi, Zhang Xueliang asked Liu Xing, "Why didn't you come to see me?" Supervise and present everything in person." Zhang Xueliang was naturally unhappy when he heard this, and asked Yang Yuting at a meeting the next day if he had met Liu Xing and Ye Qi.Yang Anran replied: "Yes, we can do it separately. You follow the central route, and I will contact the local factions." Zhang Xueliang said: "What if the central government fails?" Yang Wuwei answered.Someone told Zhang that Yang Yuting's actions were planned by Chang Yinhuai.

Chang Yinhuai was regarded as Yang Yuting's confidant at that time, because he served as the chairman of the Northeast Transportation Committee, the supervisor of the Middle East Railway, and the governor of Heilongjiang. These positions were all guaranteed by Yang Yuting.During Chang Yinhuai's tenure as governor of Heilongjiang, he was incompatible with Wan Fulin, the military supervisor of Heilongjiang. Wan once reported to Zhang Xueliang that Chang Yinhuai deliberately accumulated Heilongjiang's military expenditure.And the provincial government expanded the forestry team in an attempt to cultivate power for Yang Yuting.The Mountain Forest Team was originally established by Zhu Qinglan as the general of Heilongjiang in the former Qing Dynasty. Because of the rampant banditry in the Daqing Mountains under his jurisdiction, he founded the Mountain Forest Team.He also tracked down the guns of the former Wu Junsheng and the governor, and negotiated for the firearms from the Fengtian Arsenal, and there were rumors of buying arms from the Czech Skoda Factory, but it is said that the order from the Czech Republic was true, but it was not arms, but 33 locomotives And 16 ships, several tugboats.

Yang Yuting, whose alias is Linge, is from Faku, Liaoning. He graduated from the eighth phase of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy.During the second Zhifeng war, Yang was the chief of staff of the Feng army. After the war, he served as the military supervisor of Jiangsu. , and Yang has always been favored by Zhang Zuolin. Chang Yinhuai, courtesy name Han Ye, was born in Lishu County, Fengtian. He graduated from the law department of Fengtian Judicial and Political College.In the first battle of Fengzhi, the Feng army was defeated and retreated to Shanhaiguan. He often handled affairs to the headquarters on behalf of Xu Lanzhou, which was appreciated by Yang Yuting.In the 14th year of the Republic of China, he served as the director of Jingfeng Road. In 16 years, when Pan Fu formed the cabinet, he acted as the minister of transportation and also served as the director of Jingfeng Road. When Japan forced Zhang Zuolin to sign the five-way treaty, he threatened that Zhang Zuolin and Fengjun would not be able to leave the customs or even pass through if the agreement was not signed. Tianjin, often not the main signing, avoid to Tianjin.When Zhang Zuolin was killed, Chang Yinhuai was also accompanying him in a special car. When the bombing happened, he was always in Zhang's compartment. When he arrived at Huanggutun, he left the car and drove back. Hearing the sound of the bombing, the car stopped, and he was often at the junction of the two compartments, causing him to fall and suffer injuries. minor injury.

Although Yang Yuting is considered a smart person, after the Huanggutun Incident, he played a dangerous role in the Northeast.Since he is dissatisfied with Zhang Xueliang and despises Zhang Xueliang, he still works under Zhang Xueliang.What Yang shouldn't do is to often call Zhang Xueliang a dou after others.For Zhang Xueliang, he holds the military and political power in the Northeast, and Yang Yuting, who claims to be the elder of the titan, has to deal with all kinds of oppression by the Japanese warlords. worth it.So under the circumstances at the time, Yang Yuting had the means to kill, and Zhang Xueliang also had the will to kill.

It is said that a few days before Zhang Xueliang killed Yang Yuting, a certain Japanese presented Zhang Xueliang with a volume of "Japanese Foreign History", and used a red pen to highlight a historical event between Toyoju Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, implying that Yang Yuting was Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the Zhang Xueliang alluded to Toyotomi Hideyoshi.Tokugawa is Toyotomi's family general and powerful minister.The Japanese did not love Zhang Xueliang but deliberately created a rift, hoping that Zhang and Yang would compete for power and fight each other to create opportunities for Japan.In fact, whether it is Yang Yuting or Zhang Xueliang, they are anti-Japanese and will not collude with Japan.

Zhang Xueliang had the motive to kill Yang Yuting, but it was not easy to make this final decision. It is said that every time Zhang was angry with Yang, he increased his determination to kill Yang, but he still didn't dare to do it. Finally, Zhang Xueliang threw a big ocean to make a decision. He silently prayed that if he threw "Dragon Noodles" three times, he would kill Yang, but in the end all three throws were "Dragon Noodles", which determined Yang Yuting's fate.But in 1968, Zhang Xueliang told his close friends that it was not true. He had not thrown foreign money, but it was true that there was a silver dollar hidden in his office safe. What is the reason for him to kill Yang Yuting, it is said to be like this. Two days after New Year's Day in 2018, Yang Yuting's mother celebrated her birthday, and Zhang Xueliang and his first wife Yu Fengzhi both went to congratulate her in person.Yang Yuting's mansion is a prominent place in the Northeast. When Zhang Shaoshuai entered Yang's mansion, Yang Yuting was not at home, but the living room was already full of people. Everyone didn't care about the young man's presence. They played cards and chatted, so Zhang Xueliang also joined in. After a while, the card game was called out for the supervision, so the whole living room fell silent. Yang Yuting entered the living room boldly, and everyone stood up. It was completely different from how he treated Zhang Xueliang. Of course, Zhang Xueliang was a little unhappy, but the last The happy one is Yu Fengzhi.Back at the Shuai Mansion that night, Yu Fengzhi said to Zhang Xueliang, how do you look like the owner of the Northeast?Yang Yuting is the real master of the Northeast, look at his virtue, does he still have you in his eyes?Of course, there were many distant causes of Yang Yuting's death, but the immediate cause was planted on the day when Yang's mother celebrated her birthday. On the afternoon of January 10, 18, Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai came to see the young marshal together. Yang and Chang met Zhang and threatened to set up the Northeast Railway Supervisory Office, which would be supervised by the permanent supervisor.And write the personnel order and ask Zhang to sign it.Zhang was a little perfunctory, saying that he would make a decision after dinner.Yang and Chang then bid farewell and went home.After Zhang Yuyang and Chang went, he arranged everything. After dinner, Yang and Chang came again. After Zhang met, he ordered his adjutant to fetch cantaloupe.Zhang Naiyun: "Wait for me to get it!" Then he left the tiger hall, and about a minute later, six guards, led by Wan Jiyi, walked in with guns, and said loudly: "I am ordered by the commander: Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai are obstructing the unification of the country. I will execute you immediately." There was a loud gunshot, and Yang and Chang were killed before they could resist.The two bodies were then wrapped in a carpet.Zhang then ordered the director of the foreign affairs department to go to the Japanese Consulate General in Fengtian and informed that Yang and Chang had been executed.This matter does not affect diplomacy with Japan.He also reported to Nanjing that Yang and Chang obstructed the reunification and obstructed the New Deal, and they have been executed. The day after Zhang Xueliang killed Yang and Changzhi, he wrote to Mrs. Yang Yuting personally: "A lesson from Sister-in-law Yang: My younger brother and his neighbors are as close as brothers and sisters, but for the sake of the country, my younger brother is entrusted by the people and entrusted by the state, so I can't take into account personal feelings. . . . Fang persuaded, asked someone to report, and asked him to restrain himself a little, not to be too domineering, official or private business, there is no need to monopolize it all by one person, unexpected arrogance and chaos, day by day, no remorse... Brother yesterday and today two days I haven't eaten, I haven't slept peacefully, and my heart hurts. Regarding the funeral at home, please rest assured that my sister-in-law will do my best. Parents and children are like brothers, and my brother will do my best to raise and educate. In hope... Pan Guiting and Jiang Jianzhi have been ordered to handle the funeral affairs, please discuss everything with them. Brother Liang opened his hand. " Zhang Xueliang's autograph letter has a slightly consoling effect on the rebellion of the Yang family.When the news of Yang and Chang's death came out, they were shocked. The Yang family didn't know what serious incident would happen. Zhang Xueliang turned to Yang Yuting and said: You are in peace with Western Shu, always weeping when you are young; It's so miserable that there's no rain on Dongshan Mountain, and I finally pity my uncle's rumors! There is also Chang Yin Huai Lianyun: Heaven and earth learn from each other's hearts, and they are also sad for Uncle Cai because of the rumors; Return the country to the Han Dynasty, dare the country to commit crimes against Huaiyin! The last two couplets were drafted by Yang Yunshi on behalf of Yang Yunshi, and the famous writers are naturally extraordinary. Among the elegiac couplets, Yuan Jinkai's couplet is the most vivid. Yuan is Zhang Zuolin's secretary-general.Yuan Lianyun: Sudden increased mental pain; It's hard to express my sorrow. This couplet describes the shock of the leaders of the Northeast authorities and the scene of not knowing how to mourn. It is vivid! In this political massacre that shocked the whole country, Sun Chuanfang, who had served as the joint commander of the five provinces, suddenly became a figure in the attention of all parties.The commander-in-chief of the five provinces went north to join the Feng clan after his defeat, and the Feng army withdrew outside the pass. Sun also accompanied him to Fengtian.Zhang Xueliang treated Sun quite politely, and especially set up a "Sun Lianshuai Office" in the marshal's mansion, where he was a guest of honor and could have talks with the young marshal at any time.It looks like a distinguished guest, but also a senior advisor.And this Lianshuai works in the Shuaifu during the day, and plays cards at Yang Yuting's home at night.After Yang and Chang Fu killed Sun, Sun was invited to the commander-in-chief's mansion. As soon as he met Zhang, Zhang said, "Xinyuan, I fired another cannon." Said: "I executed Linge and Hanxiang." Sun immediately stretched out his thumb and said: "Hero, hero! If you want to do great things, don't you kill a few people? Good kill, good kill!" Even though he said that, his heart was extremely shocked, he was in a dangerous situation, this young marshal who was less than 30 years old unexpectedly executed two important figures in the Northeast without making a fuss, the method was more ruthless than his father.So he pretended to be a snake, and with the staff of the commander-in-chief busy all day, full of calculations about his situation, 36 plans were the best plan, so Sun left without saying goodbye on January 11, and took the morning train to Dalian. , I wrote to Zhang Xueliang when I arrived in Dalian, saying that there was something at home and it was too late to leave.When Zhang Xueliang heard that Sun Chuanfang left without saying goodbye, he smiled and said to his subordinates, "Why is Xinyuan so timid?" After Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai were killed, for the young commander-in-chief, "Li Wei" was achieved, because the military and political personnel in the entire Northeast no longer had the view of the young commander-in-chief as "dumb".However, everyone has their own opinions on whether it was right or wrong to kill Yang Yuting.
