Yuan Shikai tests Zhang's loyalty: territory or army? Zhang: Your gold watch.

When times are turbulent, there are often countless heroes. Some people can get promoted and get rich, while others lose everything because of one wrong step. In that case, sometimes one action and one sentence can decide a person's fate. Sometimes, a seemingly ordinary meeting may also have hidden dangers. Personal accomplishment, luck and emotional intelligence can be said to be indispensable for success. Yuan Shikai summoned Zhang again to see if he was loyal to himself, so he asked Zhang a question: Do you want territory or army? But Zhang didn't fall for it. He said, I want your gold watch.

Yuan Shikai is also a very complicated person. Many times, as long as he is mentioned, it will attract a lot of controversy. At that time, after the success of the Revolution of 1911, Yuan Shikai stole the fruits of the revolution, then turned around and began to engage in feudal restoration. Zhang is not a simple person. Zhang was a powerful bandit leader before he was accepted by the Qing government. His character actually showed up at that time, because he was trying to help those who looked at greater interests, and he would do anything to climb higher after being hugged.

Yuan Shikai became president and became the most powerful man at that time. Zhang Ziran tried to please Yuan Shikai. Zhang's flattery and flattery are still effective, and Yuan Shikai also gave him the position of teacher. But Yuan Shikai is not so easy to coax. What he needs is loyalty, not duplicity, so he asked Zhang to test him. Zhang Zuo Lin must know what Yuan Shikai was thinking, so he gave Yuan Shikai a big gift as soon as they met, and his mouth was still shouting long live, which made Yuan Shikai very happy.

Later, Yuan Shikai asked whether he wanted territory or the army. Zhang knew clearly that if he chose one of the two, he would be really ignorant and would never get ahead in the future, so he put on an envious expression and said, I only want the gold watch you wear. It's like a teacher giving you a question with only options A and B, but both options are wrong. The correct answer is actually C, but Zhang is a very clever student. He got the question right. After Zhang was put back, he began to secretly accumulate strength. In the third year after Yuan Shikai's death, Zhang became a famous "Northeast King".

You may think that Zhang is thoughtful and good at getting opportunities, but in the end, it turns out that this trait can really play a great role in that era, and Zhang is also quite resourceful, so he can beat all his opponents and climb all the way. 1In April, 928, the Northeast Kwantung Army planted explosives on the railway tracks ahead of schedule, which blew up Zhang's train. Zhang Zhong died of his injuries. History is like a passing cloud, and all merits and demerits are only left to future generations to judge.
