The feud between Zhang and Feng

Feng, a native of Fengcheng County, was born in 1866. When Zhang was working as a handyman in a coach shop in Tuhebao Town, Haicheng County, the two met for the first time and hit it off.

1900, Zhang organized his own "security team", and in less than two years, it developed into an armed force fighting side by side with Feng, Du and others.

19 12 years, Zhang and Feng were the commanders of the 27th and 28th divisions of the Army respectively, with equal status. In the key events that later prompted Duan and the restoration, Feng sent troops to offend the Beiyang system, and Zhang took advantage of the situation behind the scenes. From then on, the two men fought each other and turned against each other. Feng's wife Zhao Yiren said to her grandson before she died, "Your grandfather always said that little men still have a conscience and really want to make up for what they owe me in this life."

Feng's eldest son and Zhang Xueliang were born in the same year. Zhang Xueliang is a close friend, and they just got married with the same name. Zhang Xueliang is called "Little Six" and Feng Yong is called "Little Five". But Zhang Xueliang has lived in Feng Yong for several months, so he is often called "six brothers and five brothers". His father's friendship from generation to generation is a story in the modern history of Northeast China.

Zhang studied carpentry, sold steamed bread and worked as a peddler before joining the rebel army in 1894. He fished for three days at a time and dried his net for two days. As long as I have a few dollars in my hand, I often go in and out of casinos. His mother, Wang, was afraid that he would follow his father's old path and asked him to learn a trade and entrust someone to teach him veterinary medicine. Surprisingly, Zhang was interested in the veterinary profession and quickly learned some techniques of shooting and treating horses. So he started a business of treating gangsters and nearby garrison cavalry.

However, it didn't take long for Zhang to return to his old habits. He didn't want to stay at home all day, so he simply went to a cart shop in Tuhebao Town as a handyman. Responsible for cleaning the yard, selling food and serving past merchants.

At that time, Feng, a famous gangster in western Liaoning, often lived in this carriage shop. He saw Zhang help pour tea, set the car and unload the car, and there was an aura everywhere. He liked it so much that he told him many stories about the life of bandits. Feng described the life of bandits as absurd, just like a folk song circulating at that time: "Don't worry about making a beard, enter the concession and live in a tall building." Eat big food, live in a prostitute house, and spend money like water. Don't put the gun behind your waist. Really freer than the gods. "

Feng also boasted: "In our line of work, it can be said that we get wind and rain. If you have any ideas in the future, just ask me! " A word is fascinating.

1895, after Zhang got married, he returned to his old job and set up a veterinary post to make a living. Shortly after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, horse thieves from all walks of life flocked to southern Liaoning and western Liaoning. At that time, most bandits rode horses, and Zhang often treated guests and made many greenwood friends. As a result, it is widely rumored in the society that he is the owner of Hu bandits.

Not only that, Zhang still keeps his bad habits and often gambles. I lost my mind, and I also did something to be a bachelor. Therefore, after marriage, Zhang had a bad reputation in that area, and even his father-in-law and family were scolded by him. Zhang was ashamed of her daughter-in-law's exhortation, her parents' reprimand and the cynicism of eight neighboring villages.

In poverty, he felt that being a veterinarian earned too little, and he couldn't help thinking of what Feng said. So regardless of the opposition and dissuasion of his wife and father-in-law, he resolutely took risks and left home for Guangning (now Beizhen County) to find Feng, the leader of the giant bandits who had talked with him in the garage.

Feng didn't forget this clever little man. He introduced Zhang to Dong's gang. There, Zhang was very dissatisfied with the kidnapping of women's meat stamps. After only two months, he left the gang and returned to Zhaojiamiao Village. With the help of his father-in-law, Zhao Zhanyuan, and squire, Li Longshi, Zhang set up a "security team" of about 20 or 30 people at 1900, which was active in the area of Zhaojiamiao. In the process of being the captain of the "insurance team", Zhang knows very well how to strengthen his power. Although he organized the "insurance team" late, it developed rapidly. In less than two years, it has become an armed force on par with Feng, Du and Du.

Among these gangs, Feng is the oldest. Although Zhang is regarded as Feng's junior, their relationship is very harmonious, and later they formed an alliance brother. Zhang Xiaofeng, 9 years old, is known as the "old pimple" and has great respect for his brother Feng.

In succession, the younger brother and the older brother are neck and neck.

1902, Zhang accepted the appeal of the Qing government. 1905, Feng also accepted Zhao Fu and was appointed as the commander of Xin 'an Army. 1909 1, Xu Shichang, the governor of the three northeastern provinces, reorganized the forces of various armies in Fengtian and divided them into five scout battalions by region. Zhang is the former patrol camp, and Feng is the left patrol camp.

Since then, Zhang and Feng have been neck and neck, and started the power struggle in officialdom.

19110 In June, Wuchang Uprising broke out. In Fengtian, Zhao Erxun, then the governor of the three northeastern provinces, made a crazy suppression of revolutionary forces in order to stick to the foundation of the Qing Dynasty and unite with local warlords. At the critical moment of historical turning point, Zhang and Feng completely stood on Zhao Erxun's side. Zhang moved the scout camp in front of the road to the provincial capital, which stabilized Zhao Erxun's condition; Feng led the left patrol camp to defend western Liaoning and got stuck in the throat of Shanhaiguan. Together, they became Zhao Erxun's right-hand man to suppress revolutionaries.

1912 In September, Fengtian local armed patrol battalion was reorganized into a regular national army unit. Zhang served as the 27 th division commander stationed in the provincial capital; Feng served as the 28 th division commander stationed in Guangning. Because of the different stations, Feng was very unhappy, and the rift between them gradually developed.

Zhang benefited a lot from the "drive festival".

1965438+On March 22nd, 2006, Yuan Shikai was forced to announce the abolition of the imperial system due to internal troubles and foreign invasion. Yuan Shikai's confidant Duan became one of the chief culprits of the imperial movement. Zhang and Feng had long coveted the position of General Fengtian, and they decided to drive Duan out of Fengtian while the voice of punishing the chief culprit of the imperial court was rising.

One day, Feng came to Zhang from Guangning. Feng said: "Duan is a scum of the late Qing officials, and his dirty history is well known." Today, he is the chief culprit of the imperial power system in the three northeastern provinces and still ranks above Fengtian people. We must not be satisfied with this. We should find a way to fire him and let Fengtian do it. What do you think? "

Zhang nodded in agreement and asked Feng how to drive the section. Feng said, "This is not difficult. Our 28th Division played the bad COP and confronted him, while your 27th Division played the bad COP and used the word "scare" to force him to abscond. In this way, you don't need to be a soldier, and you don't have to spend a penny. Isn't it wonderful! " Zhang listened to the bother to applaud.

After a secret discussion, the two decided to do it. Feng threatened to move troops to the provincial capital to punish the chief culprit of the empire. On the surface, Zhang advised Duan, but secretly mobilized the people in the provincial capital to organize and denounce Duan. Finally, directly said to Duan, "Thirty-six plans, walking is the best policy. Fengtian is a place of right and wrong, so the general might as well leave. "

On April 19, Duan went to Tianjin for illness and returned to Beijing by train. Before leaving, Zhang presented a large number of gifts to Duan and his son, and "sincerely" invited Duan to return to China as soon as possible after he recovered from illness.

As soon as Duan's special train left, Zhang called Feng and told him that Duan had left privately with a large number of arms and public funds, asking him to send troops to intercept Duan's special car.

Feng acted according to the plan, sent someone to stop at Goubangzi station, and seized Duan Guanzi's 2 million yuan and a large number of arms. And Duan was afraid of being sent back to Shenyang, but he was even more frightened and at a loss. Zhang sent Duan a telegram to calm down and promised to release the car.

Duan suffered a lot from the 28th Division on the way. After returning to Beijing, he cursed Feng in front of Yuan Shikai and strongly sponsored Zhang.

1965438+On April 22, 2006, Yuan Shikai awarded the rank of general Zhang Wu, supervised the military affairs in Fengtian and served as the governor's envoy, holding the military and political power in Fengtian. He was appointed as the military affairs deputy, under Zhang. Feng was wronged, and he didn't have time to take office in Fengtian.

Zhang sent his brother and Wu to persuade Feng, but Feng refused. Zhang had to submit to humiliation and kiss Feng Fu. When he met Feng, Zhang said humbly, "Eldest brother, I owe my brother Zhang and my brothers today. When I was in a new residence, my brother knocked his head on the ground like a sucking compatriot. Today, I can't be distracted! "

"This time, another time!" Feng stood up and said, "Now you are a general, and I, Feng, have a fucking strategist. Can this make me get by? "

After listening to Zhang, he quickly said, "In terms of ability, you are taller than me, eldest brother, and I was forced to wear it on my head. I couldn't push it twice, so I didn't give up. Besides, business is like this. Brother, I am still an old saying,' share weal and woe'. "

Hearing this, Feng immediately took over and said, "Well, since you haven't forgotten the friendship of that year, I'll make a few conditions."

It turned out that Feng had to set up another "countersignature" in Fengtian, with the same organization, expenditure and establishment as the general office. Zhang couldn't agree to this unreasonable request, but he was afraid to face Feng for a while, so he kicked the ball to Yuan Shikai and asked Yuan Shikai to "rule".

Yuan Shikai refused Feng's request on the grounds of "inconsistent with the system" and only promised to pay an office fee of 6.5438+0.5 million yuan per month. Feng refused to accept it and returned to Quang Ninh angrily.

Yuan Shikai wanted to send Zhang Hefeng's old boss Zhang Xiluan to mediate, but Zhang Xiluan didn't want to stir up trouble. Later, Yuan Shikai was busy with his own career and left it alone.

In desperation, Zhang had to continue to use soft tactics and sent the brigade commander of the 54th Brigade to Guangning with precious gifts and 300,000 yuan in cash to welcome Feng back to the provincial capital. On May 20th, Feng led five battalions of infantry, horses and artillery into the provincial capital and set up the 28th Division office in the south of Shenyang.

When Zhang saw Feng Ken coming, he thought that things had changed for the better, and immediately went to the wind and rain altar to meet with him personally, and invited Feng to the general department for dinner. However, Feng was very alert, and neither paid a return visit nor went to eat. Zhang had to have the banquet carried to the office of the twenty-eighth division in the province, and called many geisha to entertain Feng's people.

Zhang's action is really unbearable. In spite of this, Feng made a big opening, made a condition, only stayed in the provincial capital for one day, then patted his ass and left.

Zhang is very angry with Feng's behavior. Now that you have endured it, let's endure it to the end. Zhang sent people to build the office of the 28th Division in the province, and sent the Chief of Staff of the General Political Department to Guangning to meet Feng Li.

On June 6, Feng returned to the provincial capital again and made three conditions to Zhang without fear: first, he demanded that the deputy's rights be equal to that of the general; Second, mutual consultation between employers and managers; 3. Allocate 200,000 yuan to buy a plane for the 28th Division.

On the afternoon of Feng's arrival, Zhang went to the office of the 28th Division to visit Feng, but Feng disappeared and there was no news from Zhang. Zhang was fed up and had to call Beijing and threaten to resign. On this day, Yuan Shikai died of depression, and officials of various departments of Beijing government were busy fighting for power and profit, and no one paid attention to this matter.

After repairing the battery, I took an apology.

In order to prevent accidents, Zhang built a battery in the backyard of the general department, and the muzzle pointed directly at the organs of the 28 th division in the province. Feng is really worried that he can't find Zhang to quarrel with. As soon as he heard that Zhang pointed the gun at himself, he immediately flew into a rage and sent someone to severely question Zhang and protest. The bearer finally left a sentence: "Answer on the same day, otherwise the consequences will be at your own risk." Say and turn away. Zhang was afraid of causing a military conflict, so he decided to be a peacemaker and made a special trip to explain to Feng to clear up the misunderstanding.

Wu came to the office of the 28th Division and explained to Feng with a smile: "This fort is about General Yuting (Zhang) ..."

Before Feng could finish, he flew into a rage: "What general? Shit! "

When Wu saw that the situation was not good, he quickly changed his mind, even bowing to make amends for Zhang, and said many good things. Feng relaxed his tone and put forward four conditions in one breath with a calm face: "Go back and tell Zhang to tear down the fort immediately and severely punish the first offender;" Second, all personnel management in the future must seek my consent; Third, the military and political expenses of Fengtian are not allowed to exceed the budget. If they exceed the budget, they must discuss with me. Fourth, Zhang had to lead officers above the 27 th division battalion to the 28 th division provincial government to formally apologize. " Say and turn round and then walk, leaving Wu hanging there.

Wu Ben thought that Zhang would jump up immediately after hearing these words, but when he stuttered and learned his tongue from Zhang, he heard a burst of laughter. Zhang said cheerfully, "OK, everything will be settled!"

Feng never imagined that Zhang would come to him with an officer at or above the battalion level to apologize. I felt embarrassed at that time, so I greeted all the staff of the 28 th Division in the provincial office. Zhang solemnly apologized to Feng and said, "Little brother, I misbehaved my subordinates on weekdays, which made my eldest brother angry!" "

Feng has a problem with Zhang again and again. Now that Zhang personally apologized, Feng felt that he was wrong and had to say awkwardly, "Where, where!" " In order to save face, Feng was busy pulling Zhang and Wu. Sit down and play mahjong several times. Everyone talked and laughed and laughed at each other for a while before quitting.

Zhang repeatedly forbeared, and Feng never showed up again. However, he always thought it was a shame to live under Zhang, so he turned the struggle into infighting. He returned to his hometown in Guangning and arrested all the county police captains appointed by Zhang. Feng Xian lured these police captains and asked them how much they spent as officials, so as to seize the handle and report Zhang's selling officials and titles.

Then, the torture of those who refused to say or couldn't say it made these police captains cry, so they had to sign at random to avoid suffering from flesh and blood again. Later, Feng reported these materials and asked the Beijing Municipal Government to investigate Zhang's responsibility.

The Beijing government turned a deaf ear to this, and Feng, in the name of all the soldiers of the 28th Division, announced his "general resignation" to Duan's cabinet and threatened it. Zhang asked Feng to propose a compromise acceptable to both sides. Feng replied that he would serve as the deputy military affairs officer and concurrently serve as the governor of Fengtian.

At that time, although the provincial governors were nominally subordinate to the overseers, Feng and Zhang were equally powerful. If Feng sits on the position of governor, it is equivalent to taking the human rights of a province, and the overseer in Zhang Li becomes an empty shelf. This is exactly what Zhang said can't promise.

Bang province once faced a serious crisis of military conflict. All walks of life in Fengtian called on Zhang and Feng to unite as one, help each other and not go to extremes. Although Zhang promised not to use the provincial capital as a battlefield, it is inevitable that some people will be nervous under martial law.

In desperation, Zhang had to ask Duan to help him. In Beijing's view, although they are easier to manipulate, they cannot be ignored for a long time.

19 17 At the beginning of this year, Duan sent Zhao Erxun to Feng for mediation. However, at every mediation meeting, either Feng jumped up and cursed or Zhang left. On March 6th, Feng stamped his foot and returned to Quang Ninh, leaving Zhao Erxun in Fengtian, so that the mediation failed.

19 18, Tang Yulin, one of the five generals of Zhang Wu, was torn by a quarrel with acting governor of Fengtian. Zhang cursed Tang Yulin, who transferred troops to fight Zhang and forced Zhang to surrender. Feng has a good personal relationship with Tang Yulin and fully supports Tang Yulin's confrontation, thus intensifying the contradiction with Zhang.

Later, Zhang gained the support of Duan and Japan through active activities. Feng saw a genial smile and retreated, withdrawing troops to Guangning, and Tang Yulin also retreated to Xinmin. Zhang exercised his functions and powers, dismissed Feng's military affairs deputy and Tang Yulin's 53rd brigade commander, and cancelled the Shenyang office of the 28th Division. Both Feng and Tang Yulin ended in failure.

The eldest brother became a prisoner and the younger brother became a king.

1965438+In June 2007, Zhang Xun suddenly electrified Zhang and Feng Jinjing to plot a restoration plan. Seeing that there were not many planners to help the restoration, Zhang took a wait-and-see attitude, which made Zhang Xun very dissatisfied.

Zhang Xun learned that Feng and Zhang, the No.2 figures in Fengtian, were fighting and thought that they could be used, so he invited Feng back to Beijing to assist in the restoration. Zhang Xun made a wish, and after his wish came true, he was promoted to the governor of Feng's three northeastern provinces.

Feng wanted to take the top spot in the three northeastern provinces, so he agreed to Zhang Xun's request. Zhang also took the opportunity to send a telegram to Feng and appointed Feng as the plenipotentiary to assist the restoration. If military service is involved, Feng can contact Zhang Xun at any time.

In this way, if things are done, Zhang can lose credit; If it fails, it will be Feng.

On the 20th, Feng secretly went to Beijing to serve as Minister Plenipotentiary of Mukden. After I arrived in Beijing, I immediately called on Zhang Xun to support the restoration activities on behalf of the three northeastern provinces and to be loyal to them. Feng is like this. In his view, the restoration was successful, and he did not worry about promotion. He returned to the Northeast and was replaced by Zhang.

Feng ordered some officers and men of the 28th Division to be transferred to Beijing, "praising the restoration of Xiang and defending the country". At the same time, he made three obeisances, knocked on the door nine times, and then went to the palace to see the abdicated Emperor Xuan Tong. Fu Yi awarded him the title of "wearing a yellow jacket, riding a horse in the Forbidden City and commanding a minister". Feng was full of ambition, and for a moment he felt that he was on cloud nine.

Suddenly, the situation changed dramatically, and Zhang Xun's ugly performance was opposed by the whole country. Inside and outside the Great Wall, we fought against traitors. Feng had a premonition that a bad luck was coming, so he retreated to Zhang. Judging from the relationship between Zhang and Feng before, Zhang must have only bad feelings for Feng, and he has no good feelings. However, after receiving Feng's distress call, Zhang couldn't bear to sit back and watch, so he kindly advised Feng to leave Beijing quickly. He sent a telegram to Feng, saying, "It is very dangerous to live in Beijing forever. It is dangerous for a person to come back from the land along the Great Wall. It's dangerous to pick you up at the right place and come back by train. "

However, Feng did not listen to Zhang's advice and mistakenly thought that Zhang had framed him, so he took the guard and dressed in casual clothes and returned by train.

On July 10, the train arrived in tianjin railway station and was discovered by Cao Kun's detective team. Subsequently, Feng and others were arrested and escorted back to Beijing for trial on June 65, 2004.

/kloc-in August of 0/5, President Feng announced that Feng "was deprived of all his official positions and honors for conspiring against the Republic and handed over to the court for severe punishment according to law."

Although Zhang and Feng are famous for their political contradictions, they still remember Feng's propaganda of their brotherhood in his early years. At the pleading of Feng's wife Zhao Yiren, they rushed to Duan to save him. At the same time, he mobilized Wu, the commander and all the officers and men of the 27th and 28th divisions to plead for Feng.

Not only that, Zhang also persuaded the gentry in western Liaoning 16 county to write a letter of tolerance.

10 On June 5438+05, the Duan municipal government was happy to show off when he saw Zhang, so he decided that Feng "had insufficient evidence to participate in the restoration and was fined 800 yuan for smoking opium". After Feng was released from prison, the authorities appointed him as a senior adviser to Duan Presidential Palace for his face. Zhang Zuolin seized the military power of the 28th Division, completely controlled the military and political power of Fengtian, and became an out-and-out "worshipping the king".

Mrs. Feng recalled the past:

Zhang Xiaoren is no ordinary person.

From 65438 to 0948, Zhao Yiren moved to Taiwan Province, and his eldest son Feng Yongshi was the commander of Kaohsiung Port. Zhao Yiren and his daughter and grandson Zhang Wenqi live in the dormitory of Kaohsiung Port Authority, Five Blessingg 4th Road, Yancheng District, Kaohsiung City. At that time, it was Zhang Wenqi's adolescence from junior high school to high school graduation. I have lived with my grandmother day and night, and I have personally heard Zhao Yiren talk about many grievances and enmities between Feng and Zhang Xiaozi (Zhao Yiren's spoken language) for nearly 30 years.

19 18 In September, Zhang was appointed as the visiting ambassador of the three northeastern provinces by the Beijing government, and Feng was invited by Zhang to be the consultant of the visiting ambassador of the three northeastern provinces.

1920, Zhang discussed with President Xu Shichang and appointed Feng as "Deputy Supervisor of Shengjing and Jinzhou in the Third Mausoleum", in charge of the guarding of Fuling (Dongling), Zhaoling (Beiling) and Xingjing (Xinbin) in Shengjing (Shenyang) and other land management matters.

Although this position has no real power, for Feng at this time, his face is passable. Besides, the post of Minister of Sanlingwei is a rare "plum job". With so much land and huge taxes, the annual income is very considerable. Feng can comfort himself mentally!

During the eight years from 19 18 to Feng Yu's death in 1926, Feng actually changed from military and political affairs to commerce, and his business scope ranged from commerce to engineering construction, covering a wide range. Among them, there are mistakes in the construction of Fengtian Railway, and the construction period is delayed, which can be beheaded. But because it was presided over by Feng's men, Zhang did not pursue it.

Zhao Yiren said, "Your master is strong-willed. He gave Zhang a lot of anger in the wild. Xiao Zhang has no complaints and is generous! One year, your master went to Shuaifu to ask for an audience with a little man, wearing a robe and jacket with a pistol hidden in the cuffs of his robe. The gun was accidentally dropped while carrying tea, and the little man said, big brother! Why did you come to my house with a man? Zhang, I can't wronged my eldest brother any more! Later, your master often said that the villain still has a conscience and really wants to make up for what he owes me in this life! "

These trifles are all said by Zhao Yiren himself, which proves that although Zhang and Feng are entangled in friendship and grievances in the second half of their lives, they get along well in the later period.

1924, Feng retired and retired to the town of Northwest Liaoning. 1926 August 1 1 died of a heart attack at the age of 60.
