Zhang was a marshal in his later years. Why did he choose to kneel when he saw Puyi who abdicated?

You know, can Zhang change from a bandit to a bandit? Northeast king? It depends not only on strategy and courage, but also on benevolence and morality.

( 1)? The northeast king gave it to the last emperor? Kneeling for the background: the first stage: the outbreak of direct war

1924, the second battle of zhifeng broke out, with Wu as the direct leader and Zhang as the leader of fengbu. The focus of the war between the two sides was mainly to seize the Beijing regime (the Beijing regime was directly controlled at that time, and Zhang fought for the Beijing regime, leading to the second direct war). As we all know, the fruits of the final victory of the second direct-service war were all picked by the Fengxi clique, but Zhang's victory this time had it not been for Feng Yuxiang, a Fengxi warlord, at a critical juncture. Step forward? Who will spend it? I'm afraid it's hard to come to a conclusion!

In the early stage of the war, the two sides fought fiercely, but due to the delay of Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling's troops, the front line of the troops was very difficult and the losses were extremely heavy. At the same time, Feng Yuxiang and other warlords have long been dissatisfied with Wu, so they secretly conspired to temporarily defect. In the battle of Beimenkou, both sides suffered heavy losses. Feng Yuxiang overthrew in Beijing when the two sides were very deadlocked? Cao Kun regime? Hold the Beijing regime tightly in your hands.

In the end, Wu was wiped out under the joint attack of Zhang and Feng Yuxiang. The main force of the straight army was wiped out, leaving less than two thousand people, and Wu also fled in a hurry. After Feng Yuxiang took control of Beijing, Zhang invaded Beijing? Serve the army without entering the customs? The promise was then forcibly taken away by the Shanhaiguan troops and the Beijing regime who entered Beijing.

The second stage: Feng Yuxiang expelled Puyi.

Feng Yuxiang took control of Beijing after expelling Cao Kun. During this period, Feng Yuxiang immediately blocked the Forbidden City. His first act was to order Puyi and others to be forcibly expelled from the Forbidden City.

1924, Puyi was driven out of the Forbidden City, so he fled to live in a foreign concession in Tianjin. At this stage of Puyi's life in Tianjin, Zhang Qianli came all the way here, not far from Wanli, and the story of kneeling on the ground began.

(2) Why did Zhang kneel in front of Puyi? Puyi once benefited Zhang a lot.

As I mentioned at the beginning, can Zhang do it? As Tian Shelang, you will be crowned Emperor of Heaven at dusk. Transformation tests not only strategy and courage, but also mutual affection and morality. Then some people will ask, do Zhang and Puyi still have moral feelings to talk about?

In 19 1 1 year, Wuchang Uprising broke out, and the Revolution of 1911 swept across the country, and the revolutionary movement began to spread like a prairie fire. At that time, Zhang, who was in charge of patrolling the road ahead of Fengtian camp, responded to the imperial order and began to brutally suppress revolutionaries. Because of its active suppression, he was appointed as the minister of training outside the customs by Puyi. In other words, Zhang was impressed by Puyi's appointment as an official he had never met before. Regardless of whether Puyi had a great influence on Zhang's life path, Zhang Yisheng deeply remembered Puyi. For some reason, Zhang? Kneel down and call the emperor? One thing can be done!

Second: fear of mutiny in the world.

At the beginning, President Yuan Shikai and Empress Yulong signed the Treaty of Preferential Treatment for Qing Palace. The premise of Puyi's abdication and the end of feudal society is that the Republic of China (Beiyang government) must give preferential treatment to the royal family and retain the basic right to live and live in the Forbidden City. On the one hand, Yuan Shikai signed this agreement with Yulong in order to let the Qing emperor muddle through and welcome the Republic; On the other hand, just for the sake of indirection? Paralysis and domination? China people. Because the feudal society had a profound influence on China, it would be hard for China people to accept it for a while if the Qing Dynasty was not preserved and given preferential treatment. At a deeper level, this move can also create a good image for the new government of the Republic of China.

However, Feng Yuxiang completely ignored the face of the whole Beiyang government and blatantly violated the preferential treatment agreement signed by Yuan Shikai and the Qing court. In this way, isn't it disguised? Lift a rock and drop it on your own feet? Hmm! From this point of view, Zhang has taken control of the Beijing regime, and his kneeling is of course a factor to save the face of the Beiyang government to a great extent.
