Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang forced Chiang Kai-shek to agree to resist Japan through military dissent. However, as soon as the plane sending Chiang Kai-shek landed in Nanjing, he was detained by Chiang Kai-shek.
From then on, Zhang Xueliang spent fifty-two years in one pass, changing from a high-spirited young general to an old man.
After Zhang Xueliang escaped from captivity, he did not stay in the mainland, but went to the United States. After arriving in the United States, he suddenly transformed into a rich man and spent money like water in the United States.
Zhang Xueliang sold many of his collections, including famous paintings by Zhang Daqian, Zheng Banqiao, authentic works by Ren Bonian, etc. There are 207 pieces of calligraphy and painting porcelain, worth approximately 30 million yuan.
Zhang Xueliang lives in the Hilton of a five-star hotel. He never looks at the price when ordering food. Just to pay for his wife Zhao Si's cigarettes costs tens of thousands a month.
Although Zhang Xueliang is patriotic, he has always been extravagant in spending money. Even when he was imprisoned by Chiang Kai-shek, his spending was more than that of a regiment of the Kuomintang. Therefore, it is not surprising that he is extravagant.
What is really strange is where did his wealth come from?
After people’s investigation, it was finally discovered that part of his property came from his previous private savings, and the other part came from his original wife Yu Fengzhi.
Six years after Zhang Xueliang was released, he died at the age of 101 in a hospital in Honolulu, USA. After his death, the money in the bank account was finally disclosed. When the amount was revealed, it was discovered that there were hundreds of millions of dollars in it, not including his real estate and so on!
This astronomical figure shocked the world. In terms of the price level at that time, it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhang Xueliang was as rich as the enemy.
In order to force Chiang Kai-shek to agree to resist Japan, Zhang Xueliang carried out military remonstrance against Chiang Kai-shek, which was the "Xi'an Incident" that shocked China and foreign countries.
So where did Zhang Xueliang's money come from? Why did Yu Fengzhi leave such a large fortune to Chiang Kai-shek?
1. The wealth of Zhang Xueliang, a truly rich second generation
, basically comes from his father, Northeastern King Zhang Zuolin.
In the book "Getting Closer to Zhang Zuolin", there is an astonishing record about Zhang Zuolin's property.
We all know that during the Beiyang period, most of the various warlords were not dedicated to the public good. While dominating one side, they often made money in their own territory. According to the property table listed in Chengdu's "Folks Television Daily" on October 10, 1926, the total private property of 71 warlords during the Beiyang period was as high as 630 million yuan.
But what is even more surprising is that Zhang Zuolin’s property is only 50 million yuan, and one person’s property is nearly 80% of the total property of 71 warlords.
Rather than saying that Zhang Zuolin is managing the Northeast, it is better to say that he is managing private property in the Northeast. He has 200,000 hectares of land (1 hectare is 1 hectare), business names all over the three eastern provinces, hundreds of factories and mines... countless wealth.
"When drinking water, think of the source", Zhang Zuolin cannot make this money without the help of the Japanese. As early as the 19th century, the Japanese formulated a plan to invade Korea and use Korea as a stepping stone to invade China. After the Japanese defeated the Qing government in the Sino-Japanese War of , this ambition was further expanded.
If North Korea is the stepping stone for the invasion of China, then Northeast China is the "base" favored by the Japanese. But it is not easy to take over this "base", so they hope to support a puppet here.
The person they selected was Zhang Zuolin, the great bandit and warlord in Northeast China. In order to support the general Zhang Zuolin as their agent in the Northeast, the Japanese invested a lot of money in Zhang Zuolin. Zhang Zuolin did not refuse anyone who came, and used the money to develop the army, engage in side businesses, and enrich private property.
When the Japanese thought that Zhang Zuolin had been "fed to maturity", Zhang Zuolin turned a deaf ear and ignored the Japanese "instructions".
Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang forced Chiang Kai-shek to agree to resist Japan through military dissent. However, as soon as the plane sending Chiang Kai-shek landed in Nanjing, he was detained by Chiang Kai-shek.

When the Japanese thought that Zhang Zuolin had been "fed to maturity", Zhang Zuolin turned a deaf ear and ignored the Japanese "instructions".
In order to retaliate against Zhang Zuolin for accepting a large amount of Japanese bribes but not obeying "instructions", the Japanese conspired to blow him up in Huanggutun.
The Japanese then realized that Zhang Zuolin wanted nothing to do with the wolf from the beginning, so He was so angry that he blew up Zhang Zuolin to death in Huanggutun.
However, Zhang Zuolin seemed to have expected this. When accepting funds from the Japanese, Zhang Zuolin not only used the money to enrich the Northeast Army, etc., but also deposited a considerable part of the funds in the bank, but the beneficiary was Zhang Xueliang's name. Interestingly, Zhang Xueliang was still serving in the Northeast Army at the time and knew nothing about this matter.
After Zhang Zuolin died, Zhang Xueliang not only became a second-generation official, but also a veritable second-generation rich man.
2. Zhang Xueliang's way of raising money
After inheriting so much property from his father, Zhang Xueliang is not at all ambiguous about how he spends money. Looking at the aspect of how he spends money to live, it is not an exaggeration to describe him as a "dandy".
If nothing else, Zhang Xueliang spent a lot of money on opium alone - he had a history of opium smoking for nearly ten years. However, what is surprising is that Zhang Xueliang relied on his wide range of hobbies and amazing perseverance to quit opium.
So what are Zhang Xueliang’s hobbies? Dancing, Beijing opera , sports, women, he is involved in almost everything related to play.
Among sports, he also loved playing golf and tennis. When he was in Beijing, in order to facilitate golf, Zhang Xueliang spent a lot of money to build a winding stone road to the Wanguo Golf Course.
After playing golf, Zhang Xueliang tipped the caddie who was serving him. Once he was about to tip a caddy named Gong Zhicheng, but the caddy was so sleepy that he accidentally fell asleep.
As a result, Zhang Xueliang not only did not leave, but also patiently called him several times to wake him up. When the caddy woke up and took the money, he smiled and said: "You didn't accept the money I gave you, and you still want me to hand it to you. "You are even more arrogant than the Little Emperor Xuantong." Everyone present laughed, and the caddy became known as the "Little Emperor."
We all know the term "sit back and eat with nothing". No matter how rich Zhang Xueliang is, if he continues to spend it endlessly, there is no guarantee that the money in his hands will not bottom out.
However, Zhang Xueliang has raised a lot of property by relying on one "hobby", which is collecting. Zhang Xueliang spent money on other playthings, just like a meat bun beating a dog, there is no return, but spending money on calligraphy and painting is a precious asset.
Zhang Xueliang loves collecting. He collects everything from ancient books to antiques, calligraphy and paintings. He has been collecting for more than 70 years. Even when he was imprisoned by Chiang Kai-shek, he did not stop collecting.
Zhang Xueliang’s interest in collecting also “awakened” accidentally. Once, he happened to find a volume of ancient paintings among the old papers in a second-hand bookstore in Tianjin.
He did not know how to collect at the time, but he saw that the ancient painting was very old, there were obvious dirt on the painting, and it was not signed. Such an ancient painting that ordinary people could easily dismiss, in Zhang Xueliang's eyes was exquisite in brushwork and ink, so he thought that the painting must be of great value, so he spent a lot of money to buy it.
After identification, my dear, this painting is actually an authentic work of Li Tang, one of the "Four Masters of Southern Song Dynasty ". It can be said to be a rare national treasure.
Zhang Xueliang loved collecting. He collected everything from ancient books, literature and art to paintings and calligraphy. He had a collecting history of more than 70 years. He did not stop collecting even when he was imprisoned by Chiang Kai-shek.
From then on, Zhang Xueliang’s interest in collecting became out of control.
As long as Zhang Xueliang collects it, it is a masterpiece by a famous artist. For example, for Wang Xianzhi a post of only 29 words, he would not hesitate to throw it in at 30,000 yuan. Therefore, Zhang Xueliang believes that he is the best collector in northern China, and it is not unreasonable to boast.
After the "September 18th Incident", the Japanese occupied the Northeast, turned it into a colony, and looted Zhang Xueliang's property.
However, after the Japanese occupation, Zhang Xueliang's huge assets were almost wiped out. But the so-called "hundred-footed insect is dead but not stiff", even though it was like this after being looted by the Japanese army, Zhang Xueliang still had a lot of private property.
Even after Zhang Xueliang defected to Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek also liked him. He often gave Zhang Xueliang some cultural toys, calligraphy and paintings to win over people's hearts, and even often gave him a hundred taels of gold.
Since taking refuge with Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek has never treated Zhang Xueliang badly and often gave him calligraphy and paintings by famous people to win over people's hearts.
After the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang left a will to deal with his property in the United States, including securities and cash in New York. According to The money is estimated to be in the tens of millions of dollars.
Before he was imprisoned by Chiang Kai-shek, he secretly brought his collection of antique calligraphy and paintings to the United States through friends and various channels.
Zhang Xueliang was imprisoned for 52 years. When he was finally released from prison, his collection had already appreciated in value, and once sold, it would be worth tens of millions of dollars.
The wandering road to prison
Another part of Zhang Xueliang's assets comes from his first wife Yu Fengzhi .
After the "Xi'an Incident" occurred, Yu Fengzhi, who was studying with her children in the UK, was shocked. She did not expect that her husband could do such a shocking act.
After the "Xi'an Incident" occurred, Yu Fengzhi was shocked. She did not expect that her husband could do such a shocking act.
After being shocked, Yu Fengzhi thought of her husband's safety, so she immediately called Song Meiling, please She protected Zhang Xueliang's safety, put down everything in her hands, and rushed back to China in a hurry. When
returned to China, it was already the early spring of 1937. Zhang Xueliang had already been detained by Chiang Kai-shek after escorting him to Nanjing. Yu Fengzhi found the Song sisters and made a request to them - to accompany Zhang Xueliang in prison.
Song Meiling sympathized with Feng Zhi, but she really couldn't bear her sister to suffer in prison.
Song Meiling persuaded Yu Fengzhi that although she had a deep affection for her husband, the days in prison were still too painful for a woman. After she returned to China, she worked hard for Zhang Xueliang. Few ordinary women could do this. The love between husband and wife If you have already done your share, why bother doing this painful thing?
After Yu Fengzhi asked Soong Meiling to accompany Zhang Xueliang in prison, Soong Meiling persuaded Yu Fengzhi that she had done her best to Zhang Xueliang and there was no need to do this for him.
But Yu Fengzhi shook her head and said that Soong Meiling did not understand her feelings. . She couldn't bear the pain of this prison, and her husband was certainly no better off. She and her husband were deeply in love, and how could she bear it if her husband suffered alone in there.
Song Meiling sighed and had no choice but to agree to Yu Fengzhi's request. From then on, Yu Fengzhi stayed with Zhang Xueliang in prison for a long time.
For Chiang Kai-shek, a person like Zhang Xueliang who was regarded as a "national hero" could not be killed casually, but he could never let it go. Before his death, Chiang Kai-shek explained the reason to Chiang Ching-kuo - "Don't let the tiger go." "!
Before his death, Chiang Kai-shek explained to Chiang Ching-kuo the reason why Zhang Xueliang must not be released - "The tiger must not be released"
In order to confuse the outside world, Zhang Xueliang was completely isolated from the outside world. Chiang Kai-shek carried out secret transfers to Zhang Xueliang many times, and Yu Fengzhi followed him from Nanjing to Fenghua, Zhejiang, Huangshan, Anhui, Pingxiang, Jiangxi, Chenzhou, Hunan, Yuanling...
During the period when Zhang Xueliang was imprisoned in Chenzhou, Suxianling was imprisoned outside the city, while Yu Fengzhi was imprisoned in Zhongshan Park in the city. The so-called "companion in prison" does not mean they are imprisoned together. The two are separated up and down the mountain. They can only see each other's position from a distance, but cannot hear each other's voices.
When he arrived at Fenghuang Mountain on the bank of Yuanshui River in western Hunan, Zhang Xueliang was moved by Yu Fengzhi's deep love for following him so hard, so he wrote a poem for Yu Fengzhi here:
"Your name is Fengzhi, it's not ordinary, Fengzhi falls here. Fenghuang Mountain. There are many Sanskrit words in the ancient temples in the mountains. "
During these years of wandering, Yu Fengzhi's body gradually became unable to bear it. In 1940, the battered Yu Fengzhi was diagnosed with breast. cancer.
IV. For Han Qing, live well
Under the medical level at that time, suffering from breast cancer was almost equivalent to suffering from an incurable disease. Death itself was nothing to Yu Fengzhi, but she was not willing to die at that time because Zhang Xueliang was still imprisoned in prison.
Only if he is still alive can he hope to help Zhang Xueliang, so Yu Fengzhi decided to challenge cancer .
For her husband Zhang Xueliang, Yu Fengzhi decided to be strong and challenge cancer.
With the help of Song Meiling, Yu Fengzhi went to the best cancer hospital in the United States. He was treated by Wen, the most famous oncologist in the United States. Stone Bill.
After Bill learned about the "Xi'an Incident" and Yu Fengzhi's identity, he couldn't help but respect her, thought she was really amazing, and encouraged her that cancer could be cured.
Bill used surgery and chemotherapy on Fengzhi. The process was extremely painful, but Yu Fengzhi endured it. Although she came from a wealthy businessman family and was pampered since she was a child, ever since she married Zhang Xueliang and became a handsome wife, she has gradually formed the habit of practicing martial arts and strengthening her body.
During the period of chemotherapy, Fengzhi still persisted in this habit and exercised regularly and practiced Tai Chi . When Dr. Bill saw this, he had to admire her strength.
After three operations, Yu Fengzhi miraculously survived. However, in order to save her life, the doctor cut off her left breast. Even at this time, Yu Fengzhi was still thinking about her husband. She lowered her face and whispered: "I have become a disabled person. Do I still have the courage to accept Han Qing's caress?"
After undergoing chemotherapy and surgery, Yu Fengzhi, who had his left breast cut off, was still thinking about Zhang Xueliang
Because of chemotherapy, the black hair on Yu Fengzhi's head has almost fallen off, and his face has become a lot more haggard. Even when he walks, he is no longer what he used to be. So graceful, it became very rickety. But there was still a smile on Yu Fengzhi's lips - Han Qing, I finally survived.
Getting rid of cancer is just the first step in her "survival". A healthy body alone is not enough to gain a foothold in the United States, not to mention her daughter and son-in-law.
What should we do? Yu Fengzhi gritted his teeth and actually chose to trade stocks in the United States.
At the beginning, Yu Fengzhi was also very hesitant. The risks involved were too great, and it would be easy to lose everything if he was not careful. However, Yu Fengzhi's American friend Lina, an economist at a company in New York, advised her: "You are not even afraid of death. You have defeated cancer, so why are you afraid of stock trading?"
This sentence enlightened her. Yu Fengzhi, that’s right, you’re not afraid of losing your life, so what else is there to be afraid of? In a pioneering land like the United States, how can one open up a new world without the courage and courage?
So Yu Fengzhi plucked up the courage, relying on his ancestral talent as a wealthy businessman's daughter and a woman's keen intuition, and actually made his own world in the United States by stock trading.
Yu Fengzhi likes to go for a walk in the countryside when he has nothing to do. Once he passed by a wilderness and happened to meet a family who planned to sell his house and land at a low price.
Yu Fengzhi keenly sensed the business opportunity, so after some thought, he decided to buy the land. The people traveling with her were not optimistic about this, thinking that there was any room for appreciation in the value of this land in the wilderness.
But Yu Fengzhi insisted on buying it, and after some bargaining, he bought the land.
Only half a year later, this land has brought her huge returns - a businessman took a fancy to her land and wanted to turn it into a golf course. After some negotiation between the merchant and Yu Fengzhi, he finally bought the land at a price that was several times higher than when he bought it, and Yu Fengzhi also made a lot of money from it.
From then on, Yu Fengzhi entered the field of real estate again, using his business talents like a snowball to continuously accumulate his own wealth, and became a famous rich man in the United States.
But in Yu Fengzhi's heart, no matter how successful she is in the business world, she is not the so-called "American rich woman", but "Zhang Xueliang's wife". She has never forgotten this original intention from beginning to end.
Since settling in Los Angeles, Yu Fengzhi bought two adjacent villas there, one for himself to live in, and the other reserved for Zhang Xueliang.
This villa is Yu Fengzhi's dream. Deep down in her heart, she also knows that Zhang Xueliang will probably never be able to wait back, but what if?
She told her grandchildren that almost all her money was spent on buying a house. If Zhang Xueliang regained his freedom, this villa would always be here.
Yes, Yu Fengzhi worked hard to live, do business, and buy a house, just for this little fantasy and hope.
For Zhang Xueliang, Yu Fengzhi lived hard and worked hard to make money. Even if she was betrayed by Zhang Xueliang, she had no resentment.
Later, Yu Fengzhi learned something - after she and Zhang Xueliang were forced to divorce by Chiang Kai-shek, Zhang Xueliang and Zhao Four got married. In other words, Zhang Xueliang betrayed her.
At that moment, Yu Fengzhi burst into tears, but did not resent Zhang Xueliang at all. In her opinion, her relationship with Zhang Xueliang has long gone beyond the legal form of husband and wife, and even beyond love and family affection. They are already cherished people in each other's lives.
So Yu Fengzhi said to her daughter Zhang Xianying: "Xianying, bring me a pen. Write a letter to your father for me. Bless them! Zhao Yidi is a rare woman! She has accompanied me on my behalf these years. "Han Qing has endured a lot of hardships in prison, and now she deserves to be recognized by the law!"
In the Peak Park in Hollywood, USA, we can still see an old man who insists on doing Tai Chi every morning. She is Yu Feng arrives.
She used to exercise here every day and live well for the man she had loved all her life. After defeating the illness, running in the mall, and experiencing the betrayal of her lover, she has become open-minded, and nothing can really defeat her.
After struggling for a long time, Yu Fengzhi decided to divorce Zhang Xueliang - after all, her husband's life was the most important, and although the marriage contract was important, it was only a formality after all. With his words "We will always be us", it still What more could you ask for?
Yu Fengzhi was loyal to Zhang Xueliang all his life. For Zhang Xueliang, he risked his life and fought for the rest of his life.
At 5:30 pm on March 30, 1990, Yu Fengzhi suffered a heart attack. He was found at the Rose Cemetery under Beverly Hills. Here, a new marble tomb was added.
After Yu Fengzhi died, her eyes were still wide open, and her eyes were closely connected with the photo hanging in the bedroom - the people in the photo were her and Zhang Xueliang, a souvenir of the two when they traveled in Europe in 1934.
Until her death, Yu Feng's heart was filled with that majestic and controversial man. In her eyes, this man was a great hero who made her proud and crazy. Even her will specifically stated that she would bequeath all her property to this man.
In fact, Zhang Xueliang may have been unsatisfactory in other aspects of his life, but he lived a life of luxury in terms of money and material things. And this is already a high point that is difficult to reach for most people.
Even after Zhang Xueliang defected to Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek also liked him. He often gave Zhang Xueliang some cultural toys, calligraphy and paintings to win over people's hearts, and even often gave him a hundred taels of gold.
Since taking refuge with Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek has never treated Zhang Xueliang badly and often gave him calligraphy and paintings by famous people to win over people's hearts.

But in Yu Fengzhi's heart, no matter how successful she is in the business world, she is not the so-called "American rich woman", but "Zhang Xueliang's wife". She has never forgotten this original intention from beginning to end.
Since settling in Los Angeles, Yu Fengzhi bought two adjacent villas there, one for himself to live in, and the other reserved for Zhang Xueliang.
This villa is Yu Fengzhi's dream. Deep down in her heart, she also knows that Zhang Xueliang will probably never be able to wait back, but what if?
She told her grandchildren that almost all her money was spent on buying a house. If Zhang Xueliang regained his freedom, this villa would always be here.
Yes, Yu Fengzhi worked hard to live, do business, and buy a house, just for this little fantasy and hope.
For Zhang Xueliang, Yu Fengzhi lived hard and worked hard to make money. Even if she was betrayed by Zhang Xueliang, she had no resentment.
Later, Yu Fengzhi learned something - after she and Zhang Xueliang were forced to divorce by Chiang Kai-shek, Zhang Xueliang and Zhao Four got married. In other words, Zhang Xueliang betrayed her.
At that moment, Yu Fengzhi burst into tears, but did not resent Zhang Xueliang at all. In her opinion, her relationship with Zhang Xueliang has long gone beyond the legal form of husband and wife, and even beyond love and family affection. They are already cherished people in each other's lives.
So Yu Fengzhi said to her daughter Zhang Xianying: "Xianying, bring me a pen. Write a letter to your father for me. Bless them! Zhao Yidi is a rare woman! She has accompanied me on my behalf these years. "Han Qing has endured a lot of hardships in prison, and now she deserves to be recognized by the law!"
In the Peak Park in Hollywood, USA, we can still see an old man who insists on doing Tai Chi every morning. She is Yu Feng arrives.
She used to exercise here every day and live well for the man she had loved all her life. After defeating the illness, running in the mall, and experiencing the betrayal of her lover, she has become open-minded, and nothing can really defeat her.
After struggling for a long time, Yu Fengzhi decided to divorce Zhang Xueliang - after all, her husband's life was the most important, and although the marriage contract was important, it was only a formality after all. With his words "We will always be us", it still What more could you ask for?
Yu Fengzhi was loyal to Zhang Xueliang all his life. For Zhang Xueliang, he risked his life and fought for the rest of his life.
At 5:30 pm on March 30, 1990, Yu Fengzhi suffered a heart attack. He was found at the Rose Cemetery under Beverly Hills. Here, a new marble tomb was added.
After Yu Fengzhi died, her eyes were still wide open, and her eyes were closely connected with the photo hanging in the bedroom - the people in the photo were her and Zhang Xueliang, a souvenir of the two when they traveled in Europe in 1934.
Until her death, Yu Feng's heart was filled with that majestic and controversial man. In her eyes, this man was a great hero who made her proud and crazy. Even her will specifically stated that she would bequeath all her property to this man.
In fact, Zhang Xueliang may have been unsatisfactory in other aspects of his life, but he lived a life of luxury in terms of money and material things. And this is already a high point that is difficult to reach for most people.
