In the early years, the Huang family could only be regarded as a middle-class family. After several generations of hard work, the family opened a medium-sized business to do business, which was basically able to maintain food and clothing.
Huang Yisheng has been smart and studious since he was a child. The elders in his family hoped that their children would succeed, so they sent him to the free school run by Zhang Dashuai. Huang Yisheng lived up to the high expectations of his family, and his academic performance has always been very good. Later, he was admitted to Northeastern University. His achievements and conduct have won praise from teachers and students, and he is valued by Marshal Zhang.
Here I have to talk about Dashuai Zhang from the Northeast. Since he has not read a few books since he was a child, education has always been a problem for him. He believes that if he wants to make the country strong, he must learn cultural knowledge.
At that time, he did not have the conditions to study and study. When he became the largest warlord in Northeast China, he first began to pay attention to local education. At that time, various warlords were expanding their military strength and territory, but Zhang Dashuai invested a lot in education. In terms of financial and material resources, he requires that education funds in all regions in the Northeast must account for 40% of total expenditures, and that various expenses must not misappropriate education funds, and other funds can be appropriately reduced.
At that time, many higher normal colleges appeared in the Northeast. Students who studied there did not have to pay tuition and were provided with food expenses. They had three free meals a day, and all these expenses were paid by the Fengtian government.
Later, he founded the country's first-class Northeastern University in 1923. He also spent a lot of money from his own pocket to invite some outstanding educators from all over the country to teach at Northeastern University.
At that time, Northeastern University was huge in scale, with complete functions and strong teaching staff. It was also second to none in the country. At that time, its teaching level was already comparable to that of Tsinghua University and Peking University, and it almost became the number one university in China.
Zhang Dashuai is not only satisfied with cultivating talents by himself, he also selects outstanding talents from universities and sends them to study abroad at his own expense to learn the advanced scientific knowledge and technology of Western powers.
Huang Yisheng was fortunate enough to be selected and sent to France to study chemical engineering. After returning from his studies, he was directly appointed as an engineer at the Shenyang Arsenal.
Huang Yisheng was also very proud of the commander. In the second year, he led the research and development team to develop yellow gunpowder for the arsenal and put it into production. From then on, the Shenyang arsenal no longer had to rely on imports of ammunition and gunpowder from Japan, which was equivalent to untying the Japanese trap in Northeast China. This also increased the Japanese's fear and hatred of the increasingly out-of-control Marshal Zhang, laying the groundwork for the subsequent Huanggutun incident.
For this reason, Marshal Zhang rewarded Huang Yisheng heavily and promoted him to major general counselor, taking full responsibility for the production management of Shenyang Arsenal.
It is said that one person can ascend to heaven. After Huang Yisheng was favored by the commander, big bosses in the army and high-ranking figures from all walks of life came to make friends with him. He was considered a small and powerful figure in the Northeast Army. Naturally, he had to have some influence on his family. promoted.
At this time, the Huang family suffered a catastrophe while Huang Yisheng was studying abroad. His father, uncle and cousin were killed by bandits when they went to the mountainous area to purchase goods. thing.
However, her sister-in-law remarried and her aunt died of illness. Only her mother and her only nephew were left to depend on each other. Life was very difficult.
After Huang Yisheng returned to China, he took his mother and nephew to live in Shenyang. He lived on his salary at the arsenal. Although it was not a wealthy life, he still had enough to eat.
Later, Huang Yisheng relied on his own efforts and achievements to win the attention of the commander. Not only did he send troops to exterminate the bandits to avenge him, but he also bought a house for him. He also acted as a matchmaker and helped him marry the daughter of a local celebrity. From then on, his life was uneventful. The flowers bloomed steadily, and by the time his wife gave birth to a son and a daughter, the Huang family was already considered a wealthy family in Shenyang.
My nephew Huang Dayou was dependent on Huang Yisheng's mother. He was honest and honest. Huang Yisheng also loved him very much, so he wanted to educate him well and sent him to school.
However, Huang Dayou did not have the reading talent of his uncle. He would get sleepy when he saw books. He would either fall asleep or be in a daze in class. In addition, he had an honest and dull personality, so he was not favored by teachers and classmates. On the contrary, because of his tall and thick appearance, he was often ignored by his classmates. When a fool teases.
As a result, one time he was bullied so hard that this kid disfigured him with one punch. Moreover, his classmate's family had a good background. If Huang Yisheng hadn't been somewhat connected, he might have caused a big disaster.
Huang Yisheng had no choice now. He no longer dared to send him to school, and he couldn't let him sit idle at home all day long, so he had no choice but to follow the boy's wish and send him to a martial arts gym to learn martial arts.
Huang Dayou was only fifteen years old at the time. In addition, this boy had liked to dance with guns and sticks since he was a child. When his father was here, he also asked him to study with a rural martial arts master for a period of time. He had some foundation in martial arts. After going to the martial arts hall Instead, he showed his talent in this area, and within a few years he actually became famous among the many martial arts schools in Fengtian City.
Seeing that the child had grown up and learned martial arts, Huang Yisheng was afraid that he would learn bad things from the Jianghu people, so he used his authority to arrange for him to work as a worker in the arsenal. Soon he found a good job for him, that is, in Work as a gun tester at the shooting range.
Huang Dayou is now like a fish in water. Who is a martial person who doesn't like to play with guns? Besides, his uncle is one of the best in the arsenal. Who dares not to try his best to curry favor with him?
Under the careful instruction of those old masters, it didn't take long for Huang Dayou to become a master of playing with guns. Whether it was a pistol, a rifle, a submachine gun or a machine gun, he could pick them all at his fingertips and he could shoot them very accurately. Think about it, the gun testers in the arsenal have to shoot guns every day. After firing thousands of bullets, can they still shoot accurately?
Moreover, what he liked most was to play with machine guns. It was a great pleasure to shoot out with a shuttle. Later, he was able to shoot well with machine guns. Even the masters who had been veterans for more than ten years felt inferior. It seems that he has become the chief test gunner of the arsenal.
Later, several officers who came to receive their guns saw Huang Dayou's marksmanship and wanted to persuade Huang Dayou to join the army. They also said that he would be treated as a first-class soldier if he did.
Seeing Huang Dayou's eagerness to try, Huang Yisheng flatly refused. As the saying goes, a good man should not be a soldier. He was already somewhat successful and lived a wealthy life. How could he let his uncle's only flesh and blood go to fight for his life on the battlefield?
And Huang Dayou knew his uncle's uncompromising temper, and since then he gave up the idea of becoming a soldier.
Originally, the family was living a harmonious life. When Huang Yisheng was preparing to find a marriage for his nephew, the young marshal sent him to Taiyuan with an order to supervise the suspension of production at the Taiyuan Arsenal.
As soon as he left, Huang Dayou lost control and couldn't resist the temptation of the officers, so he secretly went to join the army without telling his family.
