Zhang Xueliang recalled the details before shooting Yang Yuting: six coins were thrown, three heads and three tails.

1929 65438+1October 10 After the guests left, a teacup fell to the ground with a bang, and the warlord Major General Zhang Xueliang paced back and forth in his room. His heart is full of anger and injustice. All he can think about is killing or not killing.

At this moment, Mrs Yu Fengzhi heard the voice and knew it was time for her husband to make a decision. She took out a coin engraved with Yuan Datou's portrait and said, "If it's a head, kill him." Zhang Xueliang picked up the coin and threw it out, once, twice, three times ... Yu Fengzhi saw the result of three times and turned pale. All three times were positive. Zhang Xueliang sighed and said, "God wants me to kill him, too."

However, Yu Fengzhi thought for a moment, maybe the two sides of a coin are different, so there will be light and heavy. Maybe because Yuan Datou is light, they all face up, so he decides to throw it again. If it is upside down, he will kill it. Zhang Xueliang threw it three times again, and all three times were the opposite.

Two criteria and six opportunities all point to the last decision Zhang Xueliang wants to see. Zhang Xueliang also said in his memoirs in his later years: After this incident, he began to believe in ghosts and gods.

Finally, Zhang Xueliang decided to shoot this man that night, and this man is Zhang's most important general.

What makes Zhang Xueliang decide life and death with a silver dollar? Why did Zhang Xueliang kill Yang Yuting? Today, we will go into Yang Yuting to see how this general, who is a warlord, "created" himself.

The childhood of historical figures is either brilliant or studious, and Yang Yuting is the former.

Yang Yuting was born in 1885. At that time, the imperial examination system had not been abolished. Yang Yuting was admitted as a scholar at the age of 16. Later the imperial examination system was abolished. Yang Yuting entered the Japanese NCO School with the support of his cousin, which laid the foundation for him to become a pro-Japanese faction among Fengzhi warlords.

Later, I met my own "Bole" Zhang, but it can also be said that two people made each other.

Yang Yuting graduated from the Japanese NCO School on the eve of the Revolution of 1911. After returning to China, he was appointed as the instructor of Jiangwutang in three northeastern provinces. Later, he was promoted all the way because of his outstanding military strategy and became the director of Fengtian Arsenal. As the saying goes, "good wine is not afraid of the deep alley", and his talent was finally seen by Zhang under a coincidence.

One day, Zhang visited the street and saw a well-dressed and well-dressed guard. He was very curious and called the guard chief.

During the conversation, Zhang was very shocked by his military views and opinions. Zhang thinks this young man is good, and directly appoints him as the chief of staff of the Fengtian Military Supervision Department to advise Zhang.

What really made Zhang reuse and become the core figure among warlords was a "robbery incident".

After the failure of the Revolution of 1911, China was in a period of warlord scuffle for a long time. At this time, Zhang was only a teacher with only three divisions. In order to expand his strength, he must have capital and connections.

With his own strategy and contacts, he not only wooed Yuan Shikai's cronies for Zhang, but also hijacked more than 27,000 pieces of ordnance worth 40 million yuan from the direct warlords. These weapons armed Zhang's seven brigades, and finally this unit directly became Zhang's bargaining chip among Beiyang warlords.

You should know that the leader of the immediate warlord at that time was Feng, the president of Beiyang government, and the number of these arms was huge. How dare Yang Yuting be so arrogant? This is his advantage in military strategy.

He took advantage of the contradiction between Anhui warlord Duan and Feng, saying that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", knowing that Prime Minister Duan of Beiyang would "shield" him, so he joined his classmate Xu Shuzheng, an Anhui warlord, to intercept arms.

The "big hand" greatly strengthened the strength of Feng warlord, and he became like Zhuge Liang around Zhang. Even after Xu Shuzheng secretly formed his own team, Zhang Cai quit his job in a fit of pique, and after a while, he returned despondently. It can be seen how much Zhang affirmed his military capabilities.

However, although Yang Yuting was Zhang's confidant, he had many contradictions with Zhang's son, Zhang Xueliang, and the feud between them had been settled long before Zhang's death.

Highly valued by Zhang Yifang, he helped Zhang to win Su Wan's pocket in the battle of direct service, and was immediately appointed as Jiangsu army supervisor.

However, Fengpai warlords are complex and factional, and "old school" Guo Songling has always disliked "new school" Yang Yuting. After Yang Yuting became the governor of Jiangsu, Guo Songling transferred troops to Jiangsu before gaining a foothold in Jiangsu. Finally, he was defeated by the allied forces of the five provinces of Sun, fled to, and made an issue with Guo Songling from then on.

When something happened, he made a discovery for Guo Songling and denounced Zhang, which made Guo Songling unpopular inside and outside, and finally forced him to "mutiny".

Saying "anti-service" is actually anti-Yang Yuting. I wanted Zhang to compromise, but I just resigned. And clueless Zhang thought that Guo Songling was going to rebel, so he was so angry that he joined forces with the Japanese Kwantung Army to capture Guo Songling and his wife alive.

After Guo Songling's defeat and arrest, Zhang originally ordered them to be brought back for interrogation, but knowing that Guo Songling would not die when he came back, he fanned the flames next to Zhang, saying that there would never be any future trouble, so he shot and killed Guo Songling and his wife on his way back to custody.

Zhang didn't say anything about it, but it made Zhang Xueliang very angry. You know, Guo Songling was Zhang Xueliang's tactical instructor when he was studying in Wujiang Guild Hall in the three northeastern provinces. Guo Songling's teaching of Zhang Xueliang made him appreciate and admire this teacher very much.

Zhang Zuo Lin once teased Zhang Xueliang and said, "Besides your wife, you should also give Chen Mao (Guo Songling) a piece of fruit." Visible, how deep their feelings are, but Yang Yuting directly shot and killed Guo Songling and his wife, which made Zhang Xueliang not only have a quarrel with his father, but also bear a grudge.

If Guo Songling's death made Zhang Xueliang's affection for Yang Yuting drop to freezing point, then what Yang Yuting did to Zhang Xueliang after Zhang Zuo Lin's death became the reason why Zhang Xueliang hated him.

1On June 4th, 928, Zhang was killed by the Japanese "Huanggutun Incident". As the eldest son of Zhang, Zhang Xueliang naturally took over the political situation in Northeast China. At this time, Zhang Xueliang was only 27 years old.

After Zhang Xueliang became the supreme leader of Northeast China, his ambition suppressed in Yang Yuting's heart also came into being.

Zhang has always wanted to help his son continue to manage the political situation in the northeast, but he has no such idea. Although he is brilliant in military affairs, he is insidious and ambitious in the pattern of being a man.

After the death of Zhang Zuo Lin, Yang Yuting regarded himself as a senior official and made things difficult for Zhang Xueliang everywhere. This situation is like a man in his 40 s and 50 s who wants to listen to a young man in his 20 s who just took office. Of course, Yang Yuting refused, and Zhang Xueliang was embarrassed everywhere. He not only shamelessly called Zhang Xueliang's nickname "Little Six" in front of everyone, but also completely ignored Zhang Xueliang on military and political issues. He never asks for instructions, but acts first.

More importantly, Yang Yuting's contempt for Zhang Xueliang made officials of Feng Zhi warlord not take Zhang Xueliang seriously.

At a high-level meeting, Yang Yuting's subordinate Chang Yinhuai pointed directly at Zhang Xueliang's nose and insulted him: "You know nothing!" Even at Yang Yuting's birthday party, officials from all walks of life turned a blind eye to the warlord Major General and the head of the three northeastern provinces, Zhang Xueliang. In this way, Zhang Xueliang suffered much injustice as a rumbled.

Yang Yuting dared to be so rude to Zhang Xueliang, on the one hand, because he thought he was experienced, and on the other hand, because he was convinced that Zhang Xueliang dared not take anything from himself.

At that time, Yang Yuting held several posts, while Yang Yuting was in charge of all affairs in Northeast China. If anything happens to him, the political situation of the northeast warlords will be greatly affected. He thinks that Zhang Xueliang has no courage to touch him.

However, in terms of EQ, Yang Yuting is really a little immature. He doesn't seem to know that rabbits bite when they are cornered. Your father is your father after all.

Zhang Xueliang was patient with Yang Yuting everywhere, but in exchange for Yang Yuting's further efforts, the rabbit was finally forced into a hurry and took a reckless bite.

1929 65438+ 10/0, Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai came to see Zhang Xueliang in Shuaifu, demanding the establishment of the so-called "Northeast Railway Supervision Office", with Chang Yinhuai as the supervisor. Their attitude was so rude that they almost forced Zhang Xueliang to sign it.

But Zhang Xueliang is not stupid. Once signed, Yang Yuting's strength in Northeast China will extend to the transportation hub in Northeast China, which will further encourage Yang Yuting's arrogance. So Zhang Xueliang fought back his anger and persuaded them to take a long-term view in a plain tone.

This angered Yang Yuting again. He snapped, "Don't talk like a book with me. It's no use talking. Sign it quickly! " Chang Yinhuai also shouted rudely with a sullen face, "Don't pull the coat collar! The brakes are signed! " Zhang Xueliang began to stall for time and said that he would sign it after dinner. Yang Yuting felt that Zhang Xueliang dared not lie to himself, so he and Chang Yinhuai went back to dinner first.

After the two left, Zhang Xueliang couldn't help it anymore. A teacup was broken. He is fed up with such humble days. His wife, Yu Fengzhi, helped Zhang Xueliang make a decision, which decided the life and death of Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai by flipping a coin.

In fact, Zhang Xueliang was still very scared at this time. He has just taken over the political situation in Northeast China. Yang Yuting, a powerful veteran, really didn't dare to move, but the mixture of anger, injustice and timidity made him unbearable, and finally gave the decision to God.

Thus happened the first act, six falls, two standards, three straights and three falls, which seemed doomed to Yang Yuting's death.

Without hesitation, Zhang Xueliang immediately sent someone to call Gao Jiyi, the general manager of the guards, and said, "I will give you an order to immediately execute Yang and Chang, and you will lead the guards to carry it out." After receiving the order, Gao Jiyi, together with Zhang Xueliang's guards, selected six elite guards to perform the task of disposing of Yang Hechang.

On the evening of June+10 10, 65438, Yang and Chang went to Shuaifu to sign Zhang Xueliang's name after dinner. This time, Zhang Xueliang invited them to the Tiger Hall, and everything was ready. Zhang Xueliang took "going upstairs to get iced watermelons" as the code word. As soon as Zhang Xueliang left, the guards ambushing around the Tiger Hall broke into houses, knocked Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai to the ground and executed them immediately.

Yang Yuting never dreamed that Zhang Xueliang would end himself in this way.

Yang Hechang was pale and dumbfounded with fear. Four guards respectively according to Yang Hechang's shoulder, dark muzzle against their heads. "Bang" fired a few shots, and Zhang Xueliang did not look back, thus ending the lives of two people.

Zhang Xueliang had to bear the consequences of losing Yang Yuting.

At that time, the Japanese army was eager to move to the northeast. The only person who could compete with the Japanese army, Yang Yuting, died, and the northeast was in crisis. First it was smashed by the Soviet Union, and then Japan launched the September 18th Incident, which led to the fall of Northeast China. This is also the main reason why Zhang Xueliang expressed concern and regret in an interview in his later years, because he was betting on the safety of the three northeastern provinces.

However, the death of Yang Yuting and the fall of Northeast China cannot be directly blamed on Zhang Xueliang.

Yang Yuting's arrogance is unbearable, and Zhang Xueliang is still the commander-in-chief of the warlords, with military power in hand. No matter how prestigious Yang Yuting is, it is just a "think tank" to help the commander-in-chief. You can only blame Yang Yuting's emotional intelligence, unable to recognize his position, constantly challenging the boss's endurance, and finally "achieving" his life.

The "Yang Chang incident" also warned future generations that only modesty can leave a backward path for themselves. However, whenever Yang Yuting is half-respectful to Zhang Xueliang, he can think twice before he drives himself into a corner. Yang Yuting is not a military genius, but a fool who treats others.
