Zhang Zuolin was soon kicked out of the presidential palace for "leaving his post without permission", and the night before leaving, he sat at the head of the bed and said goodbye to his wife Zhao Chungui. But he couldn't tell Zhao Chungui that he was going back to his hometown in the northeast to suppress bandits, and that he had to break into the interior of the Russians, so he only said that he would take Sun Liechen, Zhang Jinghui, Zhang Zuoxiang, Tang Yulin and others back to Fengtian to "return to their old business".
Zhao Chungui was taken aback when she heard that her husband was going to be a bandit again, and stood up and persuaded him bitterly: "Child, father, why are you so 'tiger'?" Falling grass is not the right way, since you have washed your hands in a golden basin, don't go back. We don't seek wealth and nobility, as long as the family is safe. ”
Zhang Zuolin knew that Zhao Chungui was the kind of woman who could share hardships with him, and if she married him, she would be married.
Zhao Chungui was born on the sixth day of September in 1875, only five or six months younger than Zhang Zuolin, Zhao Chungui's father Zhao Zhanyuan was a small landlord in Zhaojiamiao Village, Nanxiang, Heishan County, Fengtianfu, in fact, he was also a loyal and honest, diligent and thrifty farmer, and belonged to the middle and upper class families in Zhaojiamiao Village. Zhao Chungui is the second daughter in the family, virtuous and intelligent, good at needlework. When she was young, she went to the fields with her father and brother, ploughing the fields and harvesting the fields in the autumn, and she could pick up everything, and she was proficient in all the work on the kang.
When he was young, Zhang Zuolin fled with his mother Wang to Erdaogou in Heishan County, and helped his mother to sell steamed buns in nearby Sili Eight Villages. In that part of the Northeast, gambling is quite common. One day it was raining, and on the way back, Zhang Zuolin happened to meet several women in Zhaojiamiao playing cards, including Zhao Chungui. Miss Zhao lost when playing small cards, Zhang Zuolin, who was standing on the sidelines and watching, looked at Zhao's beauty, and "guided" in the past to help her win back the money, Miss Zhao found that Zhang Zuolin turned out to be a kind-hearted good person, and the young man was also a "handsome guy" when he was young, and the two fell in love at first sight. After Zhang Zuolin was promoted to the post chief, he went back to Erdaogou to propose to the Zhao family, when Zhao Chungui was 21 years old and was in the countryside at that time. is already an older daughter to be married, although Zhang Zuolin is homeless and unemployed, and his father's reputation is not good, he has Zhang Zuolin in his heart. Waited for him for three years.
After marriage, Zhang Zuolin was very affectionate to Zhao Chungui, who was reasonable and good at governing the family, and he was especially grateful to Zhao that he was willing to be his companion when he was low and no one was willing to marry, and obeyed Zhao Chungui's words. But this time, Zhang Zuolin decided to make his own decisions, he wanted to gamble with fate, Zhao Chungui never expected that Zhang Zuolin, who he fancied, would become a despised bandit again, and the husband and wife had a quarrel for the first time.
Zhao Chungui cried and said, "Daddy, have you forgotten why you named Xueliang this name?" Have you forgotten how he was born? ”
Zhang Zuolin was very entangled in his heart. He remembered a scene from the past, when he organized a "security team" and won the hearts of the people, and the Russian robbers spent a lot of money to buy the habitual bandit Jin Shoushan, and bloodied Zhang Zuolin's "security team" on Chinese New Year's Eve. Fortunately, Zhang Zuolin had a group of brothers who were born and died, such as Tang Yulin and Sun Liechen, who were born and died, desperately covering the Zhao family and the eldest daughter Zhang Shoufang, who were pregnant at the time, to open a bloody road and escape from the siege. gave birth to a son on the fleeing carriage, that is, the famous Zhang Xueliang in history. Due to the bumpy carriage all the way, Zhao Chungui almost died in childbirth.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zuolin's face was not good, he was ruthless, and took out three hundred silver dollars from his arms. Throw it to Zhao Chungui and let her raise a few children to grow up.
"Enna." Zhao Chungui nodded, dried her tears, put away the heavy silver dollar, and knew that she couldn't convince her husband at this time. asked Zhang Zuolin: "When are you leaving?" When will you come back? ”
Zhang Zuolin said, "It can be as little as three or five years, or maybe ten years." ”
Zhao Chungui heard this, silent, after a stick of incense, she pressed Zhang Zuolin on the kang, pressed under her, and began to undress, the two got into the quilt, I don't know when we will be reunited, they can't wait to eat each other.
Zhao Chungui has a big buttocks, can give birth to a baby, plus he used to do housework, and he also did farm work, and his strength is not small, Zhang Zuolin quickly panted, Zhao Chungui's cheeks were crimson, and he gasped: "The child is his father, you promise me one thing." ”
Zhang Zuolin looked at the two peaks on her upper body that were white and drooping, kicked and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Zhao Chungui bit Zhang Zuolin's shoulder hard, leaving crimson tooth marks, and said categorically: "You are not allowed to look for wild women outside!" ”
Zhang Zuolin's shoulders suddenly became hot, and he almost screamed in pain, and said, "Madam, don't worry, I, Zhang Zuolin, swear to the sky, I will never touch other women behind your back!" ”
Later, Zhang Zuolin and Zhao Chungui had to do it twice that night, until Zhang Xueliang, who was sleeping next to him, cried, and the two separated. Zhang Xueliang's cry at this time also seemed to leave a foreshadowing for Zhao Chungui's tragic fate in the future. So much so that decades later, when he recalled his mother, Zhang Xueliang always told people with tears: "My mother has not enjoyed a day of happiness. If my father didn't have that kind of social status at that time, I believe he and my mother would never break up. Their relationship is the kind that can only suffer and cannot be happy together, so I say that the powerful do not necessarily have happiness. ”
To get back to the point, Zhang Zuolin quickly took Sun Liechen, Zhang Jinghui, Zhang Zuoxiang, Tang Yulin and other 500 people to Fengtian. Originally, Song Xiaofei planned to give Zhang Zuolin 2,000 people, but Zhang Zuolin said that too many people would arouse the suspicion of the Russians, so he took the old department and 500 people back to the northeast.
Xu Shichang, chairman of the three eastern provinces, met with Zhang Zuolin, although Xu Shichang knew that Zhang Zuolin had a task and was still pleasant on the surface, but he was not happy that Song Xiaofei sent people to the northeast to suppress bandits, and he did not arrange for Zhang Zuolin and others to return to their hometown in Montenegro, but sent him to the Zhengjiatun area in northern Liaoning, which was completely unfamiliar, saying that there were many old Russian Maozi there. Zhang Zuolin agreed, and went straight to Zhengjiatun with his people. Xu Shichang secretly telegraphed Wu Junsheng, the head of the regiment stationed in the local area, to guard Zhang Zuolin, who was born as a bandit, everywhere, and not let him rob him of the credit.
Liaobei was originally the royal enclosure of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and after the ban on reclamation was lifted, a large number of reclamation people entered. With the increase of the number of reclamation people, there are more merchants, and many of them come from Russia and Japan, Xu Shichang set up Dongping County, Xifeng County, and Xi'an County in Daweichang, which are all immigrant counties and cities, a bit like the early West of the United States, with strong folk customs and many bandits.
On the way to Zhengjiatun, Zhang Zuolin met a young and beautiful woman, riding a black horse, and was entangled by four old Russian hairies. I saw the woman wielding a slender horsewhip, and a horsewhip was whipped on the face of the Russian who was the leader, and the Russian face suddenly left a long blood mark on his face.
The Russians led by him screamed in pain, and even pulled out his Mauser gun, ready to commit murder, Zhang Zuolin killed the Russian with a "bang", and the rest of the people saw that Zhang Zuolin was also dressed as a horse bandit, and quickly slipped away.
The rescued woman's name is Tian Qifeng, the younger sister of the local bandit Tian Haozi, she saw that Zhang Zuolin was extraordinary, brave and strategic, so she had a good impression and asked to go together. Zhang Zuolin didn't think much about it, afraid that she would not be safe alone, so he agreed.
Zhang Zuolin met Wu Junsheng and asked him that the bandits in Zhengjiatun were the most difficult to start. Wu Junsheng deliberately provoked Zhang Zuolin, saying that it was Shuangtian Foreign Company, "Shuangtian Foreign Company, which was jointly opened by the Japanese Nagata and Yamada, and the store that looks like a daily necessities is actually a secret organization of Japanese ronins, and they have been colluding with the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in a vain attempt to establish a puppet Manchukuo in Northeast China." There are about 600 of them, and each of them has a good gun made in the East, with more than 100,000 bullets, and I have cracked it down several times, but I have not succeeded, it depends on whether you dare to do it. ”
Zhang Zuolin wanted to make a splash, so he decided to attack the Japanese Shuangtian Yoyuki and slapped the table: "!" Damn, Jap, serve him! ”
Wu Junsheng secretly thought in his heart, this Zhang Zuolin is only 500 people, and he will fight the Japanese without thinking about it, he is really a "tiger", and he is expected to fail.
Zhang Zuolin was bold and careful, and did not attack Shuangtian Foreign Company, but first bribed a running hall Hu Kai-shek of Shuangtian Foreign Company, and drew a topographical map of Shuangtian Foreign Company, the picture is very clear, there are several devils in that place, and they are all drawn very carefully. Just in case, Zhang Zuolin gave Hu Kai-shek a thousand oceans and let him escape from Shanhaiguan and take refuge in the customs.
Zhang Zuolin and Sun Liechen, Zhang Jinghui, Zhang Zuoxiang, Tang Yulin and others formulated a detailed plan to attack the Japanese: At that time, there was a Zheng Jiatuo nearby, and there was a boss of a rice store named Zheng Weijun, who was responsible for delivering rice to Shuangtian Foreign Bank every day.
On that day, the guards of the Japanese foreign company saw that Zheng Weijun was an old acquaintance, and mistakenly thought that these people were here to deliver rice, and without a detailed inspection, they all let them in. Zhang Zuolin entered Shuangtian & Co., and led people to quietly enter the main room of Shuangtian & Co., and saw Nagata and Yamada drinking and playing with four or five Japanese courtesans. Zhang Zuolin kicked open the door, and Changtian asked in surprise: "Baga, who are you?" ”
Zhang Zuolin didn't answer his words, and led people to rush over and slash indiscriminately, and before Nagata and Yamada could draw their knives, they were cut to a blur of flesh and blood. Zhang Zuolin also found the Japanese ammunition warehouse according to the map drawn by Hu Kai-shek, discounted the iron chain with a pistol, opened the warehouse, detonated the Japanese powder magazine, and set fire to Shuangtian Yangxing, which was on fire and the sky was blazing.
Then Zhang Zuolin led his troops to storm Shuangtian Yangxing, the Japanese crowd was leaderless, and they were busy fighting fires, with heavy casualties, more than 600 people only escaped more than 100 people, and the rest were burned or killed. But after more than 100 people escaped, they hated Zhang Zuolin to the core, and offered a reward of 10,000 taels of silver, asking for his head, and wanted to get rid of it quickly!
Zhang Zuolin's bloody Shuangtian foreign travel of Japanese devils was an instant hit, and after the news spread, the bandits in the northeast were impressed by him. Wu Junsheng was also impressed by Zhang Zuolin at this time, feeling that he was "really a man", and the two became friends, Wu Junsheng began to beware of Zhang Zuolin's order to beware of Xu Shichang.
