Details of the murder: Zhang Xueliang threw a silver dollar with a watermelon number on it, and Yang turned pale.

Zhang Xueliang mentioned Yang Yuting in his later years.

Zhang Xueliang, a young marshal, is full of complicated feelings for this old subordinate trusted by his father Zhang. He personally ordered the execution of Yang Yuting, creating a sensational "Yang Chang incident". He was filled with guilt and apologies, and took care of his family after Yang Yuting's death.

The old man Zhang Xueliang blamed himself for mentioning Yang Yuting. But in that turbulent era, Zhang Xueliang made that choice for many reasons.

It is Zhang's "brain trust". Zhang Zuo Lin thinks highly of him, but Zhang Xueliang doesn't like him.

Speaking of Zhang He's acquaintance, there are actually some twists and turns. During the Revolution of 1911, Zhang's evil forces ran rampant, squeezing out the revolutionary Qingtianwei and trapping and killing the progressive Zhang Rong, which won the appreciation of the Qing court. At that time, in Fengtianfu, international students and progressives became the targets of Zhang's murder.

Zhang went to visit members of the North-South Military Unification Conference. Yang Yuting, a classmate of Liu Dequan's, happened to be at his home. Yang Yuting knew that Zhang was killing students, so he quickly packed his things and was ready to leave.

When he stepped out of the door, Zhang happened to come in. He glanced at Yang Yuting, said nothing, and went straight to Liu Dequan. He smiled and said to him, "aren't these all your classmates?" You tell them never to leave. We need to open a martial arts school in Fengtian. How can the army not educate? "

He didn't make any promises to Zhang, but just pretended to be a snake. I scoffed at Zhang's practice of fighting in troubled times and attaching to powerful people.

This is Zhang He's first meeting. They have no memory of each other. It was not until three years later that Zhang Cai saw a well-trained army in the street. After some inquiries, he learned that this was Yang Yuting's bodyguard, who was then the director of Fengtian Ordnance Bureau and the director of Ordnance Factory.

Zhang found it specially, hoping to use it for him. At that time, Zhang had two big worries, Feng and Duan. He wanted to get rid of them, but there was nothing he could do. Yang Yuting gave him a good idea.

Zhang and Feng were the two most prominent families in Northeast China at that time. After the outbreak of the Revolution of 1911, the royalists in Northeast China relied on Zhang Hefeng for a life-and-death struggle. At that time, Zhang was the commander of the 27th Division of the Army of the Republic of China, and Feng was the commander of the 28th Division. They were equal.

When Zhang was worried about how to squeeze Feng out and take power alone, Yuan Shikai sent Duan again.

Duan, the adopted son of Yuan Shikai, was promoted by buttering up Yuan Shikai all the way. 19 15. In order to better control the situation in Northeast China, Yuan Shikai appointed Duan as the general of Zhen 'an, and the governor of Fengtian military affairs (soon served as the governor's envoy) to contain the military and political affairs of Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces.

After Duan came to the northeast, he took power to make money. Both Feng and Zhang are very dissatisfied with him. Yuan Shikai even wants to send Zhang Fa, the "soul figure" of Fengtian, to other places. Zhang refused to accept the appointment and stayed in the northeast.

In order to drive Duan out of the northeast, Zhang racked his brains. At this time, he met Yang Yuting, and Yang Yuting offered him a beautiful plan.

19 16, Feng invited Zhang to dinner. During the dinner, he suggested how to drive Duan out, and Zhang pretended to ask. Feng's solution is:

After listening to Feng's words, Zhang agreed immediately without hesitation, and he smiled contentedly, because it was exactly what he expected.

Zhang Xian told Duan that Feng had to deal with him, and Duan was frightened. Zhang "confused" the idea given to him again. Without saying anything, Duan escaped with the money he found.

When Duan arrived at the station, Feng's people arrived and asked Duan to be detained. At this time, Zhang Lai, who escorted him, consulted with Feng. Of course, the discussion is also good. Finally, Duan's money and arms were seized, and people fled back to Beijing in a hurry to complain to Yuan Shikai.

At this time, in Duan's mind, Feng was the one to deal with him, while Zhang was the big shot to help him. In front of Yuan Shikai, Duan is bound to put in a few words for Zhang Meiya.

Yuan Shikai appointed Zhang as the governor and governor of Fengtian, who was in power, and Feng was the military affairs deputy, under Zhang.

Our good plan kills two birds with one stone. From then on, Zhang was highly valued, and he even called himself "emperor and prime minister".

When Zhang Zuolin was in charge of the Northeast, Zhang Xueliang, the eldest son, was young, and Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai were Zhang Zuo Lin's right-hand men, who were in power and could not let go of Zhang Xueliang who was a generation behind them.

So when his father Zhang Zuolin was alive, Zhang Xueliang didn't like Yang Yuting at all.

1On June 4th, 928, the Japanese created the "Huanggutun Incident" and Zhang was killed. His death caught everyone off guard.

Although Yang Yuting was reluctant, Zhang Xueliang won the support of most people, became the security commander-in-chief of the three northeastern provinces, and began to rule the Northeast.

Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai are proud of helping Zhang Wei, but have no respect for Zhang Xueliang, who is in power. He often pretends to be his father and scolds Zhang Xueliang at every turn. Every time Zhang Xueliang wants to ask him some information or opinions, Yang Yuting always answers in a perfunctory way: "You don't understand, don't mind your own business, I'll make a decision."

At that time, Zhang Xueliang contracted some bad habits. Yang Yuting rushed directly to the door of Zhang Xueliang's bedroom, slammed the door and shouted, "I'm Yang (Yang Yuting). Get up, something is wrong."

Zhang Xueliang came out wearing clothes and didn't say a word. Yang Yuting directly swept his face and cursed: "The old coach was not like this when he was alive, you bastard. Can you do things in the northeast by doing this? "

Zhang Xueliang was scolded urgently and rarely replied, "I can't, you can."

Yang Yuting either refused to accept Zhang Xueliang's repeated appointments or simply ignored them. He replied directly: "You don't have to worry about my business." Before Zhang Xueliang, he doesn't look like a subordinate at all. He received bureaucrats from all over yangfu all day and criticized Zhang Xueliang's policies.

Chang Yinhuai and Yang Yuting are no different, always bossing around Zhang Xueliang. At a meeting, Chang Yinhuai publicly insulted Zhang Xueliang in front of everyone: "You are a turtle, you don't know anything."

Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai thought they were highly respected and didn't listen to Zhang Xueliang at all. Many things are decided by themselves, and Zhang Xueliang is "acting first". Senators from all parts of the northeast were too angry to speak out, but only dared to secretly remonstrate with Zhang Xueliang.

After the Huanggutun incident, considering the people's desire for peace, Zhang Xueliang hoped to delay the attack of the National Government and stabilize the situation in Northeast China by "changing the flag in Northeast China", and Chiang Kai-shek also tried his best to fight for it. Zhang Xueliang made up his mind to "change the flag of Nanjing and unify the mountains and rivers."

But at this time, there is an undercurrent in Northeast China, and Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai resolutely oppose it, because once the name is changed, the power will be affected and the interests will be damaged. In order to achieve their goals, they even took the lead in inciting and insulting Zhang Xueliang.

Even so, Zhang Xueliang overcame many obstacles and declared his obedience to the Nanjing National Government. 1928, 1928 On February 29th, Zhang Xueliang electrified the whole country and changed his name, which formally promoted the unification of China.

Chiang Kai-shek retained Zhang Xueliang's power in the northeast and appointed him as the deputy commander of the armed forces of the army, navy and air force and the commander of the northeast border defense. However, when the representative of the Central Committee took a photo with the representative of Northeast China, Yang Yuting picked up his wallet and left directly, openly refuting Zhang Xueliang's face.

Yang Yuting's seniority and recklessness really made Zhang Xueliang afraid, but it didn't make Zhang Xueliang kill her heart. Zhang Xueliang, who just came to power, is not strong, and really needs Yang Yuting's assistance. So despite their long-term feud, Zhang Xueliang has always respected Yang Yuting.

But Yang Yuting is greedy and has been testing Zhang Xueliang's "bottom line".

1929 65438+ 10 The beginning of October coincided with Yang Yuting's father's birthday, and friends suggested that it was unnecessary to make it big, which attracted people's attention. Yang Yuting disagreed and insisted on doing it. Almost everyone knows that officials from all walks of life were invited to the birthday party. This incident caused a sensation in the whole city, and officials all over the country were ready to give gifts. Zhang Xueliang and his wife Yu Fengzhi also came to celebrate his birthday.

Zhang Xueliang prepared 30 gold bars and 20,000 brand-new silver dollars and took his wife to Yang's house. As he approached the living room, the adjutant accompanying him shouted, "The Commander-in-Chief is here ..."

According to the truth, Zhang Xueliang, who is in charge of the Northeast, is the number one person in Dongshan Province. His arrival should have caused a sensation, but after the adjutant shouted, many people just sat there watching and didn't even mean to stand up. They went on chatting with each other, and no one was watching.

Even Zhang Xueliang didn't think that he would receive such a cold reception.

Shortly after Zhang Xueliang and Yu Fengzhi came in, Yang Yuting also arrived. As soon as he entered the living room, all the people immediately stood up from their seats, and they didn't sit down until Yang Yuting motioned for everyone to sit down.

Yang Yuting turned a blind eye to the congratulations of Zhang Xueliang and Yu Fengzhi. He didn't even come forward to shake hands. He just said symbolically, "You should find a place to have a rest and eat something before you go." Say hello to others.

Yang Yuting's attitude is tantamount to hitting Zhang Xueliang in the face, which is really "insulting". Zhang Xueliang stayed in Yang's house for less than a quarter of an hour, and went home, saying nothing all the way, trying to control his anger and bad temper.

In history, many people failed to die well. In addition, Yang Yuting was unfriendly to Zhang Xueliang from the beginning, and the contradictions between them accumulated over time. Yang Yuting's repeated actions are actually poking Zhang Xueliang's lamella. Finally, Zhang Xueliang couldn't help it any longer.

Zhang Xueliang was in a bad mood that night when he came back from Yang's home. Until dawn, he couldn't resist resentment any longer, and mentioned the past with his wife Yu Fengzhi. At this time, Zhang Xueliang had already moved his heart, but he was still hesitating.

Then, one thing Yang Yuting did finally pushed himself to the wall. ......

After the change of flag in Northeast China, Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai still want to have more power. They directly found Zhang Xueliang and asked Zhang Xueliang to set up the "Northeast Railway Supervision Office". Zhang Xueliang felt that he should report to the Nanjing government and then take a long-term view.

Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai didn't listen. After a long struggle, Yang Yuting pointedly said to Zhang Xueliang, "Don't chew over words with me. It's useless to talk about it. Sign it quickly."

At that time, the two didn't take Zhang Xueliang's opinion to heart at all. In order to ease the atmosphere, Zhang Xueliang only said to wait until after dinner.

Just after Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai left, Zhang Xueliang angrily broke the cup and said to his wife Yu Fengzhi, "Sister, those two thieves bullied me too much."

In order to comfort Zhang Xueliang, Yu Fengzhi advised him: "The ancients were killed by divination. I might as well do a divination today and listen to God's will. "

Zhang Xueliang took out a silver dollar and said to him, "If I throw it on a high place three times, if my head is up or down, it means that God wants me to kill Yang Hechang."

Yu Fengzhi stood by and watched. Zhang Xueliang threw it three times in a row, and the silver dollar was up. Zhang Xueliang sighed and said, "God wants me to kill two thieves."

Yu Fengzhi said that the two sides of the silver dollar may have different weights. Zhang Xueliang listened to Yu Fengzhi and threw it three times. As a result, the heads are all facing down. He only sighed: "God wants me to kill them!" "

Zhang Xueliang called the security guard Gao Jiyi and told him to ambush in the Tiger Hall in advance. There are two tiger specimens presented by Tang Yulin, both called Tiger Hall. Zhang Xueliang said: "I give you an order to execute Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai immediately, and you lead the guards to execute them."

Gao Jiyi selected several strong guards to prepare in advance, and arranged for others to do security work.

According to the regulations, people entering and leaving Shuaifu are not allowed to carry weapons. When Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai are always bossy, they don't hand over their weapons every time they come to Zhang Xueliang's residence, but arrange the guard company in a distant station.

After dinner, Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai came to Shuaifu again as agreed, and proudly called Zhang Xueliang. The guards outside the house disarmed themselves first, and then passed the news to Zhang Xueliang inside.

Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai clamored for Zhang Xueliang to sign it quickly. Zhang Xueliang asked, "Are you a little thirsty after all this talk?"

"I'm a little thirsty, but I don't like drinking water." Yang Yuting replied haughtily. Chang Yinhuai said, "I only ask you to sign it quickly."

Zhang Xueliang asked the guards to go upstairs and give them watermelons to eat. After the guard left, he shouted upstairs, "Watermelon is still in the ice. My wife is taking a bath, and I really can't go in. "

Zhang Xueliang turned to the two men and said, "Wait a minute, I'll get it." Leave the Tiger Hall at once. This is a signal to start work.

As soon as Zhang Xueliang left, the door of Tiger Hall was opened, and the guards who had ambushed in advance rushed in. Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai fell to the ground. Gao Jiyi shouted:

Yang Yuting, Chang Yinhuai scared silly, pale, looked at each other, couldn't say a word, no longer just unreasonable state, the guards fired a few shots at the two of them, beside zhang xueliang bossing Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai died here.

This is the famous "Yang Chang incident". This day is 1929 65438+ 10/0.

After the death of Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai, Zhang Xueliang wrote a telegram, one for the Nanjing National Government and the other for the political circles of the Northeast Army, announcing their deaths.

In addition, Zhang Xueliang ordered his subordinates to send 10,000 yuan solatium to Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai's family, and instructed that "Yang Chang should not be implicated in any official after being executed", which reassured many officials.

After the news of the deaths of Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai came out, all places were surprised. They are all important officials and hold power. I didn't expect to be executed without warning As a result, Zhang Xueliang gained a firm foothold in the Northeast, and no one bossed around in front of him, which quickly stabilized the situation in the Northeast and made the "Yang Chang Incident" no longer have a great impact.

About Yang Yuting's death, it has become something that later generations often talk about.

Some people say that Yang Yuting really should be killed. He is greedy and ambitious. Only by killing Yang Yuting can Zhang Can's prestige be improved. Facts have proved that he did achieve the goal of "establishing political power".

Others say Yang Yuting shouldn't have been killed. He assisted Zhang and Zhang Xueliang for two generations and took power. His death will have an impact on all aspects of the Northeast. Besides, Zhang has been dead for less than a year, so it is really inappropriate to kill the veteran.

For Yang Yuting, Zhang Xueliang's heart is also very complicated, and he has been concerned for almost all his life.

The death penalty was not decided suddenly overnight. It is the accumulation of various external factors, internal factors and time. He has reasons, regrets and apologies. In his later years, Zhang Xueliang recalled the silver dollar representing providence and sighed, "I'm not superstitious, but I'm really superstitious about it."

In order to remember the past, he wrote an elegy for Yang Yuting sadly:

Believe that Xi Shu is peaceful,

Always crying for young people,

It doesn't rain in Dongshan,

Sympathize with Guan Shu's misinformation.
