Zhang Qiying

Zhang Qiying (1877-1927), a native of Guilin, Guangxi, was a Jinshi in the late Qing Dynasty. Zhang Qiying is familiar with the classics and history collection, and also has a deep study of numerology, astrology and so on. He is known as "Zhang Tiekou". In his early years, he served as magistrate of Hunan Province, commander of the south road patrol team and the South military army. After the revolution of 1911, he joined the direct warlord Wu Peifu and served as governor of Guangxi Province. He was killed in 1927.

Profile

Zhang Qiying was a Jinshi in 1904. He served as the director of Lijin Bureau of Yongzhou and the magistrate of Lingling and Zhijiang. In the winter of the third year of Xuantong (1911), he participated in the Federation of representatives of provincial governors as a representative of Guangxi. During the revolution of 1911, he served as the commander of the Northern Expedition and the southern military. In 1913, he served as director of the military affairs department of Hunan governor's office and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general of the army. In March of the Republic of China, Zhang Qiying was elected as a member of the treaty conference. On the recommendation of Li Jingxi, Yuan Shikai proposed to appoint him as a tour envoy of Guangdong Province, and proposed to be appointed as a marquis at the treaty conference. Zhang was dissatisfied with Yuan's practice and left Beijing in frustration. He lived in Shanghai in the name of studying the pre Qin scholars. In June of 1917, Li Jingxi was appointed premier of the state, and Zhang was appointed senior adviser. On July 1, after Zhang Xun's restoration, Zhang Qiying retreated to Shanghai again and devoted himself to the study of Mozi. After that, Zhang Qiying got to know Wu Peifu, a northern warlord, by virtue of his brother Zhang Qiju, who was secretary-general of Henan provincial military supervision department. During the French war, Zhang and Tan Yankai were like-minded and became Tan's aides. In the eighth year of the Republic of China, Duan Qirui used troops against Hunan. Wu Peifu led the third division to Hengyang and confronted Tan Yankai's Hunan army. Zhang Qiying led the line. Tan and Wu signed a truce agreement. From then on, Wu and Zhang became intimate friends, and Zhang also joined Wu. During the first Zhifeng war, Zhang Qiying was the Secretary General of Wu Peifu. In June 1922, Wu Peifu recommended Zhang Hui to be the governor of Guangxi Province. In order to change the situation of Guangxi's financial difficulties, after Zhang took office, he rectified the tax and paid the land price, but his financial income still couldn't make ends meet. In June of the 13th year, Li Zongren, the leader of the New Guangxi Clique, invaded Nanning, and Zhang Qiying was forced to step down and leave Guangxi. In September 1924, when the second Zhifeng war began, Zhang re entered the Ministry of Wu as an adviser. In October, Feng Yuxiang launched a coup in Beijing to defeat the lineage. Zhang advised Wu Peifu to abandon Tianjin and Beijing and return to Hubei. Wu led 3000 remaining troops to Huangzhou, but Zhang never left. In October of the next year, sun Chuanfang set up an army in Jiangsu to oppose Fengxi and sent a telegram to express his support for Wu. Zhang took advantage of the opportunity to lobby the direct commanders to recommend Wu Peifu out of the mountain. Wu then went to Wuhan, claiming that he was elected by the generals of the 14 provinces as commander-in-chief of the anti thief coalition, with Zhang Qiying as secretary general. Before long, Zhi Fenghe fought against Feng Yuxiang's national army. In April 1926, Zhifeng army defeated the national army and occupied Beijing. Zhang was awarded the rank of general of the army for his achievements. During the northern expedition, the main force of Wu Peifu was annihilated, and Zhang followed Wu to retreat to Zhengzhou. In July of the next year, he fled to Sichuan with Wu and was killed by the local red gun Association in Huidian, Xinye County, Henan Province.

Anecdotes about fate

During the period of the Republic of China, among the military and political figures who were familiar with numerology and numerology, except Wu Peifu, there was Zhang Qiying, whose level was higher than that of Wu. This can be seen from the judgment he made to Wu Peifu. In 1918, Wu Peifu stationed troops in Hengyang. At that time, Zhang Qiying was relieved from the post of director of Hunan Military Department, and Tan Yankai was in charge of Lingling to confront the northern army. In June, entrusted by Tan Yankai, the governor of Hunan Province, Zhang Qiying went to Hengyang to meet Wu Peifu, the "General of Fuwei". On the ground of marriage, he made Tan Wu get rid of hostility and unite instead. The result is that the in laws have not been formed, but the purpose of the two joint treaty is achieved. Zhang Qiying was originally a lobbyist. After meeting with Wu Peifu, he had a very opportunistic talk. He felt that Wu was extraordinary and liked him very much. Wu yezhen had a good impression on Zhang's reputation. Both of them were fond of Shu Shu and formed brothers with Lan Pu. Wu nianchang was the elder brother. Zhang called Wu "yushuai" and Wu called Zhang "governor". Zhang Qiying also divined for Wu Peifu. Wu was born in Yinshi on March 7, the 13th year of Tongzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty. The eight characters are: Jiaxu Wuchen Jiyou Bingyin. After studying the eight characters of Wu's birth, Zhang Qiying said: "yushuai, Guizao is his own land, born in Chenyue, which is the land of spring and moon. Yi Mu was a partial official, hiding in the moon building, which was quite powerful, but Yi You alloy, so "he Sha Liu Gong" should take the official as the God. (vernacular translation: this life is best carried by water and wood, general by fire, and worst by gold. Yu Shuai, when you were fifty-one or fifty-two years old, your fleeting years were Jia Zi and Yi Chou. Nayin belonged to Jin. I'm afraid there will be disaster. I hope you take care of yourself Wu Peifu nodded: "governor, your views are exactly the same as mine. It's true that heroes have the same ideas." Zhang Qiying said: "Guizao was born in an ordinary way, so he should answer the sentence" heroes are born in a low family ". It's all because of the fact that the time is the best, but the money is not the official.". There is a conflict between the two branches in the interior of the column, and the old aunt of the Lord's hall is in trouble. It also tells you that your early life was full of frustrations and fatigue. This life likes to travel in rich and prosperous land, so water transportation and wood transportation are the best, fire transportation is average, and gold transportation is the worst. Yu Shuai, when you were fifty-one or fifty-two years old, you were in the middle of your life. You were born in Jia Zi and Yi Chou. You were born in Jin Dynasty, and you were also in charge of the government. I'm afraid there will be disaster. Please take care of yourself. " Wu Peifu shook his head and asked, "governor, I can't agree with you. I think there are at most minor mistakes in the past two years, and there is no disaster to speak of. If you say so, I will be more careful then. Governor, what do you think of my longevity Zhang Qiying replied: "with all due respect, Yu Shuai and GUI Geng's great fortune has been carried out smoothly. From now on, they are good or bad. By the time of Yi Hai Yun, Yi Mu Qi Sha came to conquer, Yin Hai turned into Mu Zhu Sha, and then attacked the Japanese branch in the year of mu, breaking the combination of Chen and you. As a result, the seven Sha hidden in Chen often came with Sha Yun, and there was no God of food to rescue them. So Wu Yin, 65, and Ji Mao, 66, were afraid to be sad. If you cross this barrier, you will have a longer life span and live to at least 90 years old. " "what's your own life span?" Wu Peifu asked. "My wife is much less than Yu Shuai. She can only live to 51 years old. The 16th year of the Republic of China (1927) is the year of Ding Mao. I'm afraid I can't cross it in April that year "Governor, I don't think you should be alarmist. I reckon that I can live to 80 years old, and you are just like me. Don't be too pessimistic. " "I hope so. I hope I'm wrong." 1923 was a proud year for Wu Peifu. He was promoted to Lu Yu patrol envoy. Luoyang, where he was stationed, became the actual political and military center of the north. At this time, his troops had five divisions and a mixed brigade, which controlled the territory of Henan, Hubei, Zhili and Shaanxi provinces. This year, on his 50th birthday, 600 or 700 dignitaries came to Luoyang to celebrate his birthday. A couplet of longevity: "the eagle in the field of herding, the hundred year old strength, is only half a century old; the tiger in Luoyang, the wind and rain in all directions will meet Zhongzhou" is written by Kang Youwei. Zhang Qiying also has two congratulatory poems, which are quite appropriate in complimenting Wu Peifu. At that time, they were called together with Kang Youwei's couplet. The poem says: "when you gradually like shenzhouding, you should know that you are the mainstay of the work, Zhong Shuqi in Penglai, and Hai Dai wants to be majestic.". In modern times, who is more like that? Luoxia flowers are like brocade, and the opening of the pavilion is worth making Chen. If you know what's wrong, you'll have to learn from the book of changes. Since it is the hand of heaven, no shame after happy body, but also to see the horse, called Kyushu spring. In the face of all this, Wu Peifu, with his beard in his hand, thought to himself: the governor of Tiekou once said that I would have a disaster in the year after tomorrow. I really don't know where to start. In September 1924 (the year of Jiazi), with the support of Japan, Zhang zuolin's Fengjun army entered the pass, and the second Zhifeng war broke out. Wu Peifu received an urgent telegram from Cao Kun. He went from Luoyang to Beijing and served as "commander in chief of the rebellion army". He mobilized more than 100000 troops to meet Fengjun in three ways. At the beginning of the war, Wu Peifu didn't pay attention to Zhang zuolin. Zhang was his defeated general, so he personally went to Shanhaiguan to supervise the war. During the fierce battle between the two armies, Feng Yuxiang, commander-in-chief of the third army, launched a mutiny. He first returned to Beijing, imprisoned president Cao Kun, and set up a "national army" to fight against Wu. Wu was defeated and fled. At last, he retreated to Jigong Mountain on the border of Hubei and Henan. There were only 800 people under his command, surrounded by Feng Yuxiang's pursuers. At this time, he felt that Zhang Qiying's words were more reasonable than his own. Therefore, he set up sentries layer by layer and set up sentries everywhere, carefully coping with the disaster. Jigong Mountain is a mountainous area with many peaks. There are only a few foot wide passageways between the cliffs. It was originally a dangerous place where one man was in charge of the pass and ten thousand people could not open it. The remnant of Wu Peifu, who has been fighting for a long time, sticks to this place. Feng Yuxiang's men and horses attack it several times, but it doesn't work. Yilu, where Wu Peifu lives, is located on the hillside of Jin mountain in the center of Jigong Mountain area. The terrain is even more dangerous, so there is no danger at the moment. However, it is very difficult for him to escape. When he was worried, he was even more angry: Feng Yuxiang, who was once his subordinate, turned against the enemy and pressed him so hard. When he was promoted, Xiao Yaonan, who is now the governor of Hubei Province, even took advantage of his crisis and sent a telegram to ask him to step down. His former subordinates, sun Chuanfang and Qi Xieyuan, who are all on the side of the army, are also watching coldly. When he thought about it, he calmed down again: Zhang Qiying was so effective that his life would not be fifty-one years old, but he still had to be careful everywhere. Feng Yu
