Why did Zhang Zuolin provoke Du Yuesheng? Because of the people's love.
In 1927, Zhang Zuolin became the generalissimo of the Beiyang Army and Navy and became the supreme ruler. Recently, when I was brushing up on the short **, I found a lot of content about "whether Zhang Zuolin dares to provoke Du Yuesheng".
I found this question boring and did not answer it. Later, it was found that there were many people who answered this question and interacted a lot, and from the perspective of popularity and drainage, this question was asked successfully.
Zhang Zuolin and Du Yuesheng are both celebrities in history, there is no threshold for this issue, and you can participate in just a few words. Overall, the question was engaging, and both onlookers and those answering it had fun.
A person's coffee position can be seen from the seat. In 1902, Zhang Zuolin was promoted from the owner of a private security company to the deputy battalion commander, and Lu Yongxiang was the battalion commander of the Beiyang New Army.
One is a new miscellaneous deputy position, and the other is a regular position of the old qualified descendant, who is light and who is heavy, at a glance. In 1912, Zhang Zuolin served as the commander of the 27th Division, and Lu Yongxiang was also promoted to the commander of the 20th Division.
In 1916, Zhang Zuolin was promoted to the Fengtian Overseer, and in 1917, Lu Yongxiang was appointed as the envoy of the Songhu Protector, controlling Songjiang, Shanghai and other places. In 1919, Zhang Zuolin unified the three eastern provinces and became one of the three giants of the Beiyang warlords.
In the warlord circle, seniority is very important, and although Zhang Zuolin's power surpasses that of Lu Yongxiang, the relationship between them is equal. Moreover, Lu Yongxiang is Duan Qirui's person and belongs to the Anhui family, so it is impossible to recognize Zhang Zuolin as a big brother.
In 1922, Sun Yat-sen, Lu Yongxiang, and Zhang Zuolin formed an anti-direct triangular alliance to confront the direct line. In 1924, the direct family took the lead in attacking and defeated Lu Yongxiang, and Zhang Zuolin declared war on Zhifeng according to the Covenant, triggering the Second Zhifeng War.
Due to the defection of Feng Yuxiang, the general of the direct army, the Feng army won a complete victory and conquered the pass. Zhang Zuolin sent Zhang Zongchang, Han Linchun, and Wu Guangxin to lead the 123rd Army south to assist Lu Yongxiang in regaining his territory.
The three armies were commanded by Lu Yongxiang. In short, Lu Yongxiang is not Zhang Zongchang's younger brother, on the contrary, Zhang Zongchang is nominally Lu Yongxiang's younger brother.
By comparing the high praise answer with his own explanation, he found that the concise and clear answer was more popular, although there were some flaws, but it was more in line with the law of online communication. On the contrary, my explanations, while closer to real history, are long and verbose, making it difficult to attract readers.
Taking warlords as an example, many authors like to take inventory, such as the twenty-four generals of Beiyang, the top ten most powerful warlords, etc., but these contents are often difficult to achieve horizontal comparison, and the time and strength of each warlord's gain power are dynamically changing and cannot be ranked.
As cool as these articles may seem, these rankings and stocktakings don't make much sense to anyone who really knows history. Therefore, in order for a work to become a hit, it needs to meet the four conditions of shortness, simplicity, fame and pleasure.
The length of the article should not be too long, the content should be simple and easy to understand, and the characters or events should be famous, which can arouse the reader's emotions and resonance. This is in line with human nature, the cognitive level and emotional state of the audience, and it is also the law of business.
While historians consider any history book to be a pleasant read, the average reader is more concerned with getting the information they want from it than with whether the history is true.
Therefore, this kind of culture is what the people like to see. The above has sparked some controversy, such as the question of whether the Great War of the Central Plains should be mentioned. Although there are hundreds or thousands of likes, the author believes that there is no need for explanation, because it will ruin the rare coolness, and it is also in line with the author's philosophy: let the reader enjoy the culture, rather than dwelling on the truth of history.
