Adolescent
Yang Yuting, whose courtesy name is Linge, was originally named Yuting. Born on the 20th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar in 1885, he was born in a peasant's home in Sheshangou Village, 15 miles east of Faku County, Faku County, Fengtian Province (now Liaoning). His grandfather Yang Zhengrong fled from his hometown, Daijiagou, Luan County, Zhili Province (now Hebei) to fall into Faku County by farming and opening a car shop. After Yang Yuting was born, his family had become more prosperous.
Yang Yuting reached the age of school, but his father Yang Yongchang thought that it was better to work at home than to go to school. He had to help adults with housework and farm work at a young age. Later, when the villagers saw that he was smart, they persuaded Yang Yongchang to ask Yuting to go to school, so that Yang Yuting entered the private school in the village. Seeing that he was smart and studious, Mr. Gao introduced him to Zhang Xiucai's office in Tieling County (in order to repay Mr. Gao's enlightenment, Yang Chengming brought Gao to his family: the whole family respectfully called him the master and kept him until Shenyang to liberation).
1904, 19-year-old Yang Yuting passed the exam for scholars. After 1905, the Qing government abolished the imperial examination system. In order to continue his studies, he and several friends passed the exam to study in Japan. However, Yang Shuichang, who has always been uninterested in his son's study, actually expressed that he was not worthy of his son's East-school study abroad. Just when Yu Ting was in a dilemma, fortunately, an uncle who lived in the west street of the village gave generously, otherwise it would be difficult to study in Japan.
After Yang and others arrived in Japan, they first entered the Jinwu School in Japan, and then were admitted to the eighth phase of the Artillery Department of the Tokyo Army Non-commissioned Officer School. Among the classmates are Yu Zhen , Xing Shilian , Xiqia, etc. who later became famous in Northeast China. During his time in the military academy, in order to learn and serve the country as soon as possible, he not only practiced riding during the day, but also secretly practiced riding at night. He was bitten by a military horse and was scolded by a military instructor. At the end of the semester, he graduated with excellent grades and returned to China. After returning to China, he was assigned to the 23rd Town (Second) of the Changchun Army as an intern, and later served as the infantry platoon leader and company commander. After the founding of the Republic of China, he was transferred to the position of deputy officer of the Fengtian Ordnance Bureau and was promoted to the director of the of the Ordnance Bureau in 1914 (at this time, he met Zhang Zuolin ). When he served as the commander of the infantry company and the adjutant of the Weapons Section of the Fengtian Martial Arts Hall, he focused on military discipline and military training, and often held emergency gatherings at night to cultivate the troops' ability to respond and military discipline. "At this time, he had punished some soldiers who were slow to act and delayed military aircraft without hesitation. Because of the strict military discipline and brave combat, the army he led was appreciated by Zhang Zuolin, commander of the 27th Division of the Fengtian Army. Later, Zhang personally transferred him to the Chief of Staff of the 27th Division. Soon, Zhang was appointed as the Chief of Staff of Fengtian Provincial Governor and the Governor of , and Yang was appointed as the Chief of Staff of the Governor's Office. From then on, Zhang and Yang began long-term cooperation, which was also the beginning of Yang Yuting's assistance to Zhang Zuolin.
The four major military achievements helped Zhang Zuolin stabilize the Northeast
11916 On June 6, Yuan Shikai died of illness in the south sea in Beijing, Beijing, and Beiyang warlords split into three factions. This is the Anhui faction led by Duan Qirui , the Zhi faction led by Cao Won, and the Feng faction led by Zhang Zuolin.
In order to realize his ambition to firmly sit in the Northeast and rule the whole country, Zhang Zuolin is determined to strengthen and consolidate the rear of the Northeast while implementing expansion within the pass. At this time, Yang Yuting, as an assistant, did his best to assist Zhang in completing four major events: this is to establish the Northeast Navy ; formulate and implement the rural land tax system, build a strategic highway from Fengtian to Luda, and supervise the Fengtian (Shenyang) Arsenal.
Feng Zhang's desire to form the Northeast Navy has a long history. The Russo-Japanese War in that year and the later Yuan Shikai sent troops to North Korea, all of which were the first to bear the brunt of the navy. Liaodong Peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the status of the navy is of course very important. With the strong recommendation of Yang Yuting, a graduate of the Japanese Merchant Marine School, Shen Honglie , was appointed as the commander of the Northeast Navy.
The land tax system formulated by Yang Yuting was to dig out a large number of uncultivated wilderness from bureaucratic landlords in various northeastern provinces and distribute it to the landless people to cultivate. so. It can not only calm the people's hearts, but also increase the authorities' income, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.The background of the construction of the Fengtian-Luda Highway is as follows: At that time, the operating rights of the South Manchuria Railway were owned by the Japanese. The Japanese not only controlled this railway transportation, but also obtained high profits. Yang believed that after the construction of the Fengtian-Luda Highway, it could not only ensure the transportation of combat materials of the Fengtian-Luda Highway, but also demonstrate the maneuverability and flexibility of cars, mules, horses and carts. Once a war broke out, this road could be used to deal with the Japanese.
supervised the Fengtian (Shenyang) Arsenal and made its own weapons. The ammunition and equipment of the army have enhanced its defense capabilities. Through these measures, the military, political and economic strength of the Northeast has greatly increased, making the Japanese who have already salivated against the three eastern provinces of China dare not act rashly.
and Xu Shuzheng conspired to rob Qinhuangdao
Around 1918, the Anhui and Zhi warlords who controlled the Beijing government (Duan Qirui of Anhui, Feng Guozhang ) fought for power more and more fiercely. After Duan Qirui was driven off the throne of the prime minister, he actively won over Zhang Zuolin and joined forces to reverse Zhi. Yang Yuting saw the situation, urged Zhang's family to join Duan, representing Feng Zhang, to and from Beijing to Tianjin, and across the board, to participate in the supervisory army meeting held by Duan's sect. Together with Duan's "little Zhuge" Xu Shuzheng, Duan's "little Zhuge", to persuade Zhang Zuolin to send troops into the pass. At that time, Feng Guozhang (acting president), was trying to use the weapons purchased by the Beijing government from Japan to arm the direct army; agreed to deliver the weapons on Qinhuangdao . Xu Shuzheng "leaked the matter in Zuolin". At that time, when the Feng army entered the pass, he was not armed, and Yang Yuting strongly advocated the robbery. So, on February 15, 1918, the brigade commander of the 53rd Brigade of the Feng army Zhang Jinghui , created the case of "Qinhuangdao Arms Raid". After Zhang Jinghui led his troops to the island, he "gambled and drank" with the armed personnel sent by Feng Guozhang. After the armed forces were loaded, he took the people drunk and immediately ordered the webmaster to hang the front of the car to Shenyang.
Zhang Zuolin used this batch of "more than 30,000 fine machinery" to arm three mixed brigades (some say the seven brigades), and quickly strengthened the Feng army. More than 20 days later, Zhang Zuolin formed the Feng army General Command in Military Grain City , and served as the commander-in-chief, with Xu Shuzheng as deputy chief. Order Yang Yuting was the chief of staff and led more than 50,000 Fengtian troops south to support Duan Qirui's "unification of force" policy, showing the reputation of the Fengtian army. This was the first time the Fengtian army came out of seclusion, and all of this was Yuting's plan. Yang Yuting was famous in China, and it started from this time. After
Yang Yuting became a "meritorial" for the Fengtian army, he grew up his selfishness and secretly conspired with Xu Shuzheng to "organize three brigades of self-organized transportation teams". He wanted to capture military power and formed his own party members, which aroused Zhang Zuolin's dissatisfaction. He was dismissed from office and investigated and fell out of favor in Fengzhang for a time. Later, he relied on Xu Shuzheng and served as a military officer at the Presidential Office and a counselor at the Northwest Border Defense Command. In the past three years,
made arrogance comeback, laying hidden dangers
After Yang Yuting left the Fengtian army, Zhang Zuolin lost his right-hand assistant, and his subordinates did several things unsatisfactory. In September 1922, Zhang Zuolin recalled Yang Yuting. Yang was immediately appointed as the General Senate of the Inspection Commission of the Three East Provinces. After Yang Huifeng took office, he joined Zhang Zuolin's preferences and vigorously sang the military and military. He strongly suggested setting up an arsenal and a grain factory in Fengtian to expand his military equipment, and supervising himself as the arsenal. From then on, in the Northeast, the famous "General Senate Yang" and "General Supervisor Yang" were well known. He and Wang Yongjiang (Fengtian Finance Minister and Acting Governor), one martial arts, one business, one military, one military, one military, one military, and one financial management, like Zuolin's left and right hands. In April 1922, the first Fengzhi War was launched. After the defeat, Zhang Zuolin urgently tried to retaliate, and Wang Yongjiang tried his best to oppose it, advocating relying on Japan to protect the territory and safeguard the people. But Yang Yuting still favored Zhang and continued to incite the competition to the Central Plains. He tried his best to expand the arsenal and spent tens of millions. Wang Yongjiang felt sorry for spending too much and refused to support it. Yang had no choice but to encourage Zhang Zuolin to order the official silver number of the three northeastern provinces to issue banknotes (notes) to help him. As a result, Feng votes are too old, and the people of Northeast China suffer great harm.
In order to enable the Feng army to enter the pass and fight again, in view of the incompetence of the Northeast Green Forest-style army in the previous Fengtian direct battle, Yang Yuting proposed to "reorganize the army and martial arts", and appointed Japanese officers such as Jiang Deng selected , Han Linchun , etc., and set up an army sorting office to exclude old-school forces and establish a foundation for the new-school army, which greatly improved the combat quality of the Fengtian army. However, Yang Yuting was complacent and did not take the old-school soldiers seriously, and was even more jealous of the rise of Guo Songling among the new-school.Even Zhang Xueliang, who supports Guo Songling, is hindered by Yang in everything. The conflict between Yang, Zhang (Xueliang) and Guo began at this time.
Jiangsu was in danger
1924, under the repeated clamor of Yang Yuzeng, Zhang Zuolin took advantage of the opportunity of Qi Xieyuan and Lu Yongxiang to fight against the Jiangsu and Zhejiang War , and the second Zhifeng War broke out. In October, the direct general Feng Yuxiang turned against the battlefield and returned to Beijing to overthrow Cao Won's rule. The Feng army took the opportunity to invade Fune and advanced toward the Jinpu line.
On December 28, Zhang Zuolin first won and bribed the general Chen Tiaoyuan under the former Jiangsu Supervisor (Direct) Qi Xieyuan through the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Fengjun Zhang Zongchang . In this way, the Feng army drove from Pukou to Nanjing to cross the river. In order to control this territory in Jiangsu, Zhang Zuolin appointed Yang Yuting as the military supervisor of Jiangsu Province. In August 1925, Yang went to Nanjing to take office. At that time, the Fengtian Army in Su actually had only two infantry divisions: one was Ding Xichun Division, stationed in Nanjing and surrounding areas; the other was Xing Shilian Division, stationed in Shanghai. The two divisions were hundreds of miles apart and did not care about each other. The two divisions were surrounded by Soviet troops, which was very unfavorable to the Fengtian army.
After Yang arrived in Nanjing, he should have taken strict precautions in the face of reality or asked Zhang to send more troops to the Soviet Union. At the same time, he should be careful to deal with this difficult situation. However, due to the great victory of the Fengtian faction, Yang Yuji's forces entered the hinterland of the pass, and was arrogant and arrogant, and he was negligent about Jiangsu military and political officials, which led to Chen Tiaoyuan, who had surrendered to Fengtian, respecting ghosts and gods and staying away from him. Shortly after Yang arrived in Ning, he also intentionally or unintentionally revealed his intention to adapt Chen's troops to the camera and to remove Chen's post (Chen is the Jiangsu Military Affairs Officer), so he forced Chen Diaoyuan to join forces with his alliance brother Bai Baoshan to secretly surrender to the warlord Sun Chuanfang .
11925, Chen and Sun Li and Li cooperated with each other to fight against Fengtian. Chen Diaoyuan secretly transferred the troops into Nanjing City, and some troops even approached the Supervisor's Office. Someone reported the situation of Chen's rebellion to Yang Yuting. Only then did he realize the severity of the situation and the crisis, but it was too late to organize and mobilize the Fengtian army to fight, so he had to prepare to flee Nanjing.
On the evening of October 16, he and Chen Tiaoyuan had a meeting halfway through, lied that he was unwell and wanted to take a shower in the back and then hold the meeting. When he arrived at the back, he changed into casual clothes and asked the driver Chen Yiheng, who was already on standby at the back door in advance to drive. Slide out of Nanjing alone and cross the river from Xiaguan to Pukou.
Yang Yuting has only been more than two months since he took office as the governor to escape from Nanjing. He returned to Shenyang after a small break in Beijing. At this time, Guo Songling, who was dissatisfied with the warlords' melee and irreconcilable with the Yang power, suddenly turned against Feng Feng under the influence of the climax of the Chinese revolution. Guo Songling called for "clearing the king's side" and criticized Zhang Zuolin for being "surrounded by a group of people" and "irrescue". He also listed Yang Yuting's crime of "being wary" and led his army to Shenyang. Yang Yuting was extremely panicked and stayed in Dalian, so he turned to Japanese imperialism on behalf of Zhang Zuolin. Later, when Guo Songling "failed" and was captured in the old house of Xinmin, Yang Yuting urgently advised Zhang Zuolin to "shot the fire on the spot." Because Yang had discovered Guo's letter to Zhang Xueliang early, he was afraid that Zhang Xueliang would burn the letter to Guo Kuanshi. It can be seen that Guo Songling's death is closely related to Yang Yuting.
died of a life-threatening
On the morning of June 4, 1928, Zhang Zuolin returned to Shenyang from Beijing. When passing by the near of Huanggutun Station, he was killed by explosives buried in advance by the Japanese. After Zhang Zuolin's death, the first person in the Northeast Ruling Group was Zhang Xueliang, and Yang Yuting. At that time, Zhang and Yang commanded the main force of the Feng army (the Third and Fourth Front Army) and retreated to the Luanzhou area; Zhang was the commander of the Third Front Army, and Yang was the commander of the Fourth Front Army. At this time, Yang Yuting was not only the "General Senator" of the Fengtian Army, but also held military power.
December 29 Northeast Change Banner . Yang Yuting firmly opposed it. He believed that he should not obey Chiang Kai-shek , which led to a new contradiction with Zhang Xueliang. He regarded himself as a protector, and often boasted of himself as the allusion of "Mr. Zhou Gong, and helped him to quit drugs, criticized him for not asking about politics.Although he was kind-hearted, the young and energetic Zhang Xueliang did not buy his account. The Japanese also took the opportunity to use their friends' party and Chinese hooligans who were scattered in the Northeast to slander Yang Yuting everywhere and alienate Zhang and Yang's relationship. They gave Zhang Xueliang a book called "Japanese Outlaw", which compared Zhang Xueliang to the Japanese Emperor Toyotomi Hideyoshi , and Yang to the usurping Japanese minister Tokugawa Ieyasu . It implies that Zhang Xueliang is a hidden danger around him and should be eliminated as soon as possible. Zhang Xueliang fell into a treacherous plan, but hesitated. He threw silver dollars three times and asked for divination before he made up his mind to kill Yang.
On the evening of January 10, 1929, Yang Yuting came home from get off work and heard that there was a phone call from Shuaifu who invited him to play cards, but drove there without eating. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the Marshal's Mansion, he was detained with Heilongjiang Governor Chang Yinhuai for false charges such as deducting military pay, delaying military opportunities, and making illegal plans. He was shot and killed by the police chief Gao Jiyi and the deputy officer Tan Hai in advance in the East Hall of the living room of the Marshal's Mansion (Tiger Hall). Afterwards, Zhang Xueliang was beyond remorse for his own destruction of the Great Wall of , and ordered Liu Duoquan to send 10,000 yuan of condolences to Yang and Chang families, and personally wrote to Chunyuan, the eldest son of Yang Yuting who was studying in France, to comfort him to study with peace of mind.
Yang Yuting's life was a life of fighting for power and profit for the feudal rulers and individuals. He is talented, but he is not used properly. "He is too smart to do everything, but he will make Qingqing's life." But Yang Yuting is not a very greedy person in Fengtian warlord . He advocated cultural education and created Faku Middle School, which did something useful to the society.
