His ancestors came here to escape from the wilderness. As a child, Zhang Zhiliang studied in a private school with excellent academic performance and good handwriting. When he was in the countryside, he often wrote plaques for people. People vied for the calligraphy and paintings he created. In 1895, when Zhang Zhiliang was 17 years old, his father Zhang Xishan worked as a communication (document) in Daotai yamen of Manqing Dynasty. Therefore, Zhang Zhiliang also studied communication business in the provincial capital and worked as a document in Shenyang County Yamen.

Political career

Zhang Zhiliang later worked under Zhang zuolin. Before the revolution of 1911, Zhang zuolin was the commander of Fengtian patrol camp (brigade commander), and was ordered to eliminate Mongolian bandits in Tongliao and Taonan. During this period, Zhang zuolin set up an office in Fengtian, with Zhang Zhiliang as the director. In 1912, when Zhang zuolin was the 27th division commander, Zhang Zhiliang was Zhang zuolin's close secretary. In 1916, Zhang zuolin served as Fengtian (Liaoning) governor and Fengtian governor, Zhang Zhiliang was appointed as the official of the governor's office. In April 1917, the Fengtian savings association was established with Zhang Zhiliang as its president. The Fengtian savings association was the earliest and largest government commercial joint bank in Northeast China at that time. Zhang Zhiliang is also the chief inspector of the official Bank of the three eastern provinces, the largest official bank in Northeast China. During this period, Zhang Zhiliang was awarded the third class Jiahe medal by the Beiyang Government of the Republic of China for his outstanding achievements. From 1921 to 1923, Zhang Zhiliang took the lead in setting up national industrial enterprises such as "Huilin match Co., Ltd", "Bawangsi soda beer soy sauce Co., Ltd" and "Zhaoxin kiln Co., Ltd." among them, "Huilin match Co., Ltd." Zhang Zhiliang took the main share, so it was named after "Huilin", and "Huilin" was Zhang Zhiliang's word "Huilin" The homonym of "Huilin" is "Huilin", and I wish the enterprise prosperity and good luck. In view of Zhang Zhiliang's status and fame in the industrial and commercial circles of Fengtian (Liaoning) during this period and his close relationship with Zhang zuolin, he was elected president of the chamber of Commerce of Fengtian in spring and President of the Federation of chambers of Commerce of the three eastern provinces in summer since 1924. In autumn of 1924, Zhang zuolin launched the second Zhifeng war, defeated the direct warlords, controlled the Beiyang government and ruled the northern half of China China. As a confidant and subordinate of Zhang zuolin, Zhang Zhiliang was elected president of the all China Federation of chambers of Commerce in 1925. In the winter of 1927, Fenghai railway, the first Fenghai railway jointly built by Chinese government and businessmen, was completed. Zhang Huilin began to serve as the general manager of Fenghai railway company, so he resigned as the president of chambers of commerce at all levels. He was the general manager of Fenghai railway company for just three months. Following Zhang zuolin's instructions, he was changed to the director of the Bureau of financial planning, responsible for raising military supplies for Zhang zuolin. Three months later, the huanggutun incident broke out, Zhang zuolin was killed by the Japanese Kwantung Army, and the Bureau was canceled. In 1929, he became the general manager of Shenhai railway company again (since April 1929, the provincial capital was renamed Shenyang, so Fenghai railway was also renamed Shenhai railway). Since August 1931, he served as the salt envoy of the three eastern provinces. A month later, after the September 18th Incident, he resigned because he did not want to work for the aggressors. He lives in seclusion in Heishijiao village on the outskirts of Dalian city. After the victory of the Anti Japanese war in 1945, he returned to Shenyang.

The same surname is Zhang

Zhang Zhiliang has the word "Huilin". Some people think that they are brothers with Zhang zuolin, but that's not true. Zhang zuolin's "zuolin" is a name, while Zhang Zhiliang's word is "Huilin". However, the relationship with Zhang zuolin and Zhang Xueliang is extraordinary. During the revolution of 1911, when Zhang zuolin was the commander of Fengtian patrol camp, he was ordered to eliminate Mongolian bandits in Tongliao and Taonan. During this period, Zhang zuolin set up an office in Shenyang with Zhang Zhiliang as the director. At that time, Zhang Rong, a member of the Mukden revolutionary party, led Lantian Wei with the second mixed brigade of the new army, plotted to expel Zhao Erxun, governor of the three eastern provinces of the Qing government, in response to the revolution. When Zhao Erxun learned of this, he was so scared that he was ready to transfer Wu Junsheng, the commander of the rear road patrol camp (also known as Wu Datou), to Fengtian. When Zhang Zhiliang learned about it, he secretly reported the news to Zhang zuolin, who was stationed in Taonan, as soon as possible. Zhang zuolin had always been very ambitious. He had long been unwilling to live in Tongliao and Taonan. He always wanted to enter the provincial capital for development. However, he had no chance. After getting Zhang Zhiliang's secret report, he was overjoyed and said, "heaven helps me!" When Zhao Erxun saw Zhang zuolin coming, the so-called "great drought meets sweet rain" did not cure Zhang zuolin's crime of leading troops into the city without orders, but greatly rewarded him. A few days later, Zhao Erxun also handed over the eight battalions under the command of the middle road patrol battalion to Zhang zuolin, making Zhang zuolin have 15 battalions and become the general with the most troops in Fengtian, which laid the foundation for Zhang zuolin to develop his grand plan and become the "king of northeast" in the future. It was a very important turning point for Zhang mofeng to become a little warlord. Without Zhang Zhiliang's intelligence, the future "king of the northeast" would not be Zhang zuolin, but Wu Junsheng. Zhang Zhiliang's ability in his future work was also appreciated by Zhang zuolin. And Zhang zuolin's family also have frequent contacts. In his youth, Zhang Xueliang was a playful man. He often went dancing and gambling, spending money like water. Sometimes when he was short of money, he was embarrassed to ask his parents for it. At that time, Zhang Zhiliang served as the chairman of Fengtian savings, which provided Zhang Xueliang with a rainy day. Zhang Ruxian, the eldest son of Zhang Zhiliang, and Zhang Xueliang are classmates of the Northeast lecture hall and have a close relationship. After graduation, Zhang Ruxian served as the commander of Fengjun's battalion. After September 18, he left the army.

Set up industry

While he was an official, Zhang Zhiliang also actively founded industries. The first is a match factory, because everyone has to eat - Cook - light the stove, so no one can do without matches. Zhang Zhiliang is unique in choosing to make matches. At the same time, it was also a practical action against Japan's economic aggression, because at that time, matches in the Mukden area were all imported from Japan, tens of thousands of boxes a year. In 1921, Zhang Zhiliang raised 180000 yuan to set up Huilin match Co., Ltd. with Zhang Zhiliang as the general director. At first, the site was located behind Huangsi temple. Later, after the expansion of production, it was moved to Daxi Road (now at the junction of Guangchang road and Xinglin street, Shenhe District, Shenyang City), with an annual output of 25000 boxes (124 bags per box, 10 boxes per bag); there were two kinds of phosphorous sulfide matches and safety matches, phosphorous sulfide matches were Qilin brand, and Shuanghe brand was safety match (later, Qilin brand matches were not produced, only safety matches were used) Production of double crane brand safety matches. Because the cost of domestic products is low, the price is cheap, and people love to buy them. So Huilin match company is very profitable. As a result, the company expanded rapidly and soon merged with the Japanese match enterprise "Mukden phosphor inch Co., Ltd." after the expansion, the company's products occupied the match market in Northeast China. The long cherished wish of boycotting Japanese products and revitalizing national industry has been realized with practical actions. In 1922, Zhang Zhiliang, Zhu Xiaozhai, Jin enqi and others rented 52 mu of xianghuodi in front of Bawang Temple (Dafa Temple) in Dabeiguan, and raised more than 300000 yuan to establish Bawang Temple soda beer soy sauce Co., Ltd. with Zhang Zhiliang as the chairman. It was put into production in November of that year, with an annual production of 100000 cases of soda beer (48 bottles per case). The use of "Jinduo" as the trademark of soda and beer has far-reaching implications, such as the constant ringing of the alarm bell, and never forgetting the containment of the national industry by the great powers. The factory is well-known both inside and outside the province. In 1923, Du Chongyuan, a famous patriot, returned from studying abroad in Japan and wanted to do something to revitalize the national industry. However, he suffered from strangers, no relatives, no contacts in the industrial and commercial circles of Fengtian, and had nothing to do with capital. It was very difficult to run an industry. Zhang Baoxian, the third son of Zhang Zhiliang, and Du Chongyuan were classmates when they were studying in Japan. Through this relationship, Du Chongyuan called on Zhang Zhiliang and asked for help to raise funds. Zhang Zhiliang was moved by Du Chongyuan's dedication to his country, and without hesitation, he raised 80000 Fengyang for him and set up Zhaoxin kiln Co., Ltd., the first factory in China to manufacture ceramics by machine. Because Zhang Zhiliang was highly respected in the industrial and commercial circles of Fengtian, Du Chongyuan asked Zhang Zhiliang to bear the responsibility
