It is said that Zhang Zuolin would rather raise fewer soldiers than engage in education , is it tru

As a national first-class university, Northeastern University enjoys high praise at home and abroad. As one of the promoters of the establishment of Northeastern University, Zhang Zuolin has been repeatedly praised for making great contributions to the education of Northeast China, and even made bold statements that "it is better to raise 50,000 less troops than to run Northeastern University". But is that really the case?

In fact, it is the descendants who "blame" Zhang Zuolin.

Zhang Zuolin was born as a bandit, and even if he later became a soldier, he was a so-called ruffian. In his eyes, military spending is the most important, and education spending can only stand aside. It is necessary to meet the needs of armaments before we can get a piece of the pie in education.

Of course, during the period when Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xueliang and his son were in charge of the Northeast, primary schools and junior high schools began to appear in pieces. But this has nothing to do with Zhang Zuolin, most of the schools are private, and in the time period of the largest number, it is Zhang Xueliang who governs the Northeast.

After the Xinhai Revolution and before Zhang Zuolin came to power in 1916, Fengtian's education funding was decreasing year by year. After Zhang Zuolin came to power, instead of curbing it, it declined faster. So much so that at that time, even the salaries of teachers could not be paid.

The principal of the Northeast Provincial School resigned in anger. Later, Guo Songling's reason for crusading against Fengjun was to destroy education.

Later, in 1921, someone proposed to Zhang Zuolin to establish Northeastern University to cultivate talents. Zhang Zuolin agreed, but there was one condition: it was not allowed to be linked to military spending.

In other words, it is completely possible to establish Northeastern University, but you can raise money by yourself, and you should not touch my military expenses at all. You must know that at that time, the education expenditure of the entire Mukden Province accounted for only 3% of the finances. Seeing this, will you still attribute the establishment of Northeastern University to Zhang Zuolin?

The establishment of Northeastern University was very bumpy, and Zhang Zuolin did not support it. Wang Yongjiang, the director of the Fengtian Finance Department at the time, could only borrow money from everywhere. And also tear down the east wall and make up the west wall.

Merge some small schools into larger schools. The site of the primary school that closed down as a result was sold directly at a bid price. This is very devastating to education in Northeast China.

In order to save money, the school's buildings are also focused on saving materials. It can be said that Northeastern University has survived until now entirely because of its strong vitality, and this credit has little to do with Zhang Zuolin. In particular, it is even more ridiculous to say that he would rather raise fewer soldiers and engage in education.

Personally, I think it's true, because although Zhang Zuolin seems to be five big and three coarse, but he is thick and fine, which can be seen from the name of his son Zhang Xueliang, he hopes that his descendants will be a literate person, Zhang Xueliang means to learn from Zhang Liang.

This is not true. In fact, Zhang Zuolin would rather not engage in education than raise more soldiers, and the education funds he allocated at that time were actually very small, only 3%, and it was very difficult to even prepare for Northeastern University.

It is said to be true, but I think it is inevitable to engage in education, if you raise a group of soldiers but they are not educated, then you may not see anything in five or ten years, but in the next 20 to 30 years they will be eliminated, how can uneducated soldiers fight a modern war.
