There are two buildings in the Young Marshal's Mansion, one of which was bought by Zhang Zuolin's fifth aunt when he was too late, and it belongs to the main house; The other building was only renovated this year and was used as a warehouse and a living servant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Mr. Zhou, you will live here in the future." The housekeeper led Zhou Hexuan into a room on the ground floor of the main house.

"Thank you!" Zhou Hexuan hugged his fists.

The servants helped carry the luggage in, Zhou Hexuan glanced at the furnishings in the house, and found that it was much more advanced than Chu Yupu's side, and there was even a special writing desk, which he was still very satisfied with.

After a while, the herald finally led him upstairs.

Zhang Xueliang was reading a book, and when he saw Zhou Hexuan coming in, he immediately got up and greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, I have admired you for a long time, and I am finally looking forward to it today." ”

This attitude is much more enthusiastic than yesterday when I was in the Pan Mansion.

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "Thanks to the young marshal's wrong love." ”

"Can't be wrong," Zhang Xueliang took Zhou Hexuan's hand and came to his desk, "Mr. Zhou, look, I must read your "The Rise of a Great Power" every day, and it has been copied into a book!" ”

Zhou Hexuan looked down, and sure enough, it was a manuscript of "The Rise of a Great Power", and there were traces of wear and tear in the corners, it seemed that Zhang Xueliang did often flip through this book.

In this way, it really makes people feel like a spring breeze, and the gambler I saw yesterday is like two people, and I don't feel good about it.

At least a hundred times stronger than Chu Yupu! There is no harm without comparison.

Later generations had a great controversy about Zhang Xueliang, some people said that he was personable and sincere, some people said that he ate, drank, prostituted and gambled, and had no talent, some people said that he served the country with enthusiasm and loved the people like a son, and some people said that he lost his teacher and land, and he was a loser.

People are very complex, and it's hard to explain clearly.

Let's first talk about Zhang Xueliang's situation at this time-

When he was young, Zhang Xueliang was truly patriotic and longing for national reunification, and belonged to that kind of hot-blooded youth. He was diligent, studious, talented, and enterprising, and did not hesitate to argue with his father in person. He is also enthusiastic about public welfare, and in the disaster relief fundraising activities, Zhang Xueliang personally went to the street to call for running. He also invited well-educated people to spend two hours a day learning English and familiarizing himself with the history of Western countries.

With Zhang Xueliang's efforts, Zhang Zuolin agreed to reorganize the army, and the Wutang faction in the Northeast Army rose rapidly, and its combat effectiveness was very strong.

Then the factional infighting began......

The rise of the Jiangwutang faction seriously threatened the status of the non-commissioned officer faction. The non-commissioned officer faction even wanted to use the war to trap Guo Songling, the representative of the Wutang faction, but fortunately, Guo Songling saw the opportunity to run fast and staged a Zhang Xueliang version of "Xiao He Yue chasing Han Xin", and the two hugged and cried in the thatched hut near the battlefield.

At that time, the situation of the Northeast Army was that the non-commissioned officer faction had Zhang Zuolin's support behind it, and the Wutang faction was close to Zhang Xueliang, and the struggle between the two factions soon became white-hot.

To what extent have the contradictions intensified?

Guo Songling even instigated Zhang Xueliang to seize power, briefly saying: "The general (Zhang Zuolin) has too old brains, surrounded by small groups, and I am afraid that it is irretrievable", and proposed that "the father let the son succeed" to reform the situation in the three eastern provinces.

Zhang Xueliang "couldn't help but be shocked" after hearing this, and did not move in front of him, turned around and quietly took the train and ran away.

It can be seen from here that Zhang Xueliang's personality is complex, he is determined to forge ahead, recruit talents, reform and innovate, and greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Army, but because of this, it provokes the contradiction between the new school and the old school of the Northeast Army. When the conflict intensified to the point that it could not be reconciled, he chose to be a turtle with a shrunken head, preferring to run away and wait for the situation to deteriorate rather than have the courage to solve it head-on.

Finally, under the pressure of the old faction (non-commissioned officer faction) step by step, the new faction (Jiangwutang faction) had no way to retreat, and Guo Songling finally pulled the flag and rebelled.

Guo Songling is not only Zhang Xueliang's teacher, but also his close friend, and his confidant. As soon as Guo Songling defected, Zhang Xueliang was instantly stunned, and his addiction to smoking was also contracted at that time.

Since then, Zhang Xueliang has become depressed.

In the past, his daily life was to study and participate in various progressive activities, but now he is playing cards and listening to plays, eating, drinking and having fun all day long.

Such a huge change, on the one hand, Zhang Xueliang gave up on himself, and on the other hand, he also had a low-key dormant mind. After all, Zhang Xueliang's number one general just betrayed Zhang Zuolin last year.

However, in Zhou Hexuan's opinion, at least eighty percent of Zhang Xueliang's playthings were made for his father.

When playing cards last night, that Yang Yuting belonged to the old faction of the Northeast Army, which was quite surveillance. Zhang Xueliang then behaved as addicted to gambling, which completely belonged to the swinger brother style. And now that he sees Zhou Hexuan, Zhang Xueliang looks like a corporal of Lixian again, which shows that his enterprising spirit has not disappeared.

If he didn't know what kind of person Zhang Xueliang was, maybe Zhou Hexuan was really willing to assist him.

But this young marshal can't hold up the wall, it's usually fine, but when he encounters a big event, he has no idea. Yang Yuting jumped so much, Du Nima forced the palace, this kind of disobedient subordinate, replaced by the principal, and slaughtered him directly.

But how did Zhang Xueliang make the decision?

Guess the coin...... Oh no, it's guessing the silver dollar. Positive life, negative death, buy and leave!

Yang Yuting nodded and was executed.

Of course, this is a joke, and killing must be killed. But Zhang Xueliang guessed that the coin was indeed something, probably to give himself courage and find a reason to kill.

The young marshal is soft-hearted and generally reluctant to kill, even if it is someone who betrays him.

With such a boss, you definitely don't have to worry about the danger of your life, and even if you poke the big basket, he will try his best to carry it for you. But it definitely can't be done, because Zhang Xueliang's character can be summed up in eight words: indecisiveness, women's kindness.

Zhang Xueliang pulled Zhou Hexuan to sit side by side on the sofa, opened the hand-copied "The Rise of a Great Power" and said: "Mr. Zhou, I read the American chapter serialized today, why is your article so different from what the previous English teacher said?" ”

"What's the difference?" Zhou Hexuan asked with a smile.

Zhang Xueliang pointed to a text and said: "Isn't the American people rebelling against British tyranny here? ”

"Hehe, if the people rebel against tyranny, someone has to organize," Zhou Hexuan explained, "who will organize?" Merchant! At that time, the tea trade was a lucrative industry, and the British government, in order to monopolize the trade, imposed heavy taxes on tea re-exported to the United States. Later, the Tea Act was promulgated, prohibiting the sale of illicit tea in the colonies, and the tea drunk by North Americans could only be supplied by the British East India Company. What do you say that means? ”

Zhang Xueliang thought for a moment and said: "It means that the tea merchants in the United States have suffered heavy losses. ”

"That's right," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile, "This move has led to two results. First, local coffee merchants took advantage of the discontent of the people and called on everyone to drink only coffee instead of English tea. This is the same as China's current boycott of foreign goods and support for domestic products. ”

Zhang Xueliang nodded and smiled.

Zhou Hexuan also said: "There are also tea traders in North America, all of whom have changed their careers to become smugglers, because it is illegal for them to sell tea. ”

Zhang Xueliang asked: "What does this have to do with the Boston tea party incident?" ”

"Of course it has something to do with it," Zhou Hexuan explained, "The so-called tea-dumping incident was created by local coffee merchants and tea smugglers in North America, who instigated and bought off ordinary people for their own interests." ”

"Wasn't it a riot caused by British taxation of North America?" Zhang Xueliang asked.

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "After the founding of the United States, the government's taxes were much heavier than those of the British colonists, why didn't the people revolt and rebel?" ”

Zhang Xueliang was silent, as if he thought of the dispute between the new faction and the old faction in the Northeast Army, and muttered: "It's all due to interests." ”
