Gou Songling, the Deputy Commander of Feng Warlord energized andrebelled Feng Warlord with seventy thousand troops in public on November22nd,1925. He dispatched his troops, almostly occupying the area from Luanzhou toFengtian, which forceed The Zhang Zuolin, the head of Feng Warlord, to intend toabandon the city. However, Japan intervened and gave Zhang Zuolin great aid,.As aresult, Gou Songling was defeated in Juliu River. The war made a great effet onNortheast Local History and even the history of Chinese Republic.The article wouldn’t pay more attention on the cause, process, properties andcauses of failure since there were discussed before. It would make a corperision onlife experience, political view and the attitude towards Japan of Zhang Zuolin andGou Songling, and reach a conclusion which resons that contridicat ion wasintensified by the method of Comparative Study. Zhang was born in Greenwood andbecame the Northeast King after several years, who viewed the Northeast as privateproperty and seized the central power on the basis of controlling of Northeast. Zhangand Japanese took advantage of each other. Technically, he was not a full sense of"betraying the warlords". Gou Songling became a major general of Feng Warlordrelying on own efforts, and hoped that the development of the Northeast Instead ofparticipating in fights among warlords. On the issue of relations with Japan,Goudidn’t afraid threats from the Japan government and Kwantung Army, and only hopedthat Japan could remain neutral while anti-Feng Warlord War had broken out，But healso exhibit some behaviors of the pro-Japanese late in the war. Recent years, somearticles overmuch beautified Guo Songling and anti-Feng Warlord War, Even beingthought as people revolution. Guo would cooperated with the south nationalgovernment, even would support Communist Party if anti-Feng Warlord war won,which views I Cann’t agree with.Since the1920of the20th century, Japan Government and Military transformedoverall invasion of China strategy, and viewed the Northeast China as an importantstrategic location, and attempted to obtain benefits through the assistance of ZhangZuolin. Hara Takashi Cabinet formally established the Zhang-aided policy duringEastern Conference in1921, and this policy had been strengthened continuously later.However, along with intensification of contradictions, the Zhang-aided policy becameloose. Japan must face the challenge of whether or not to continue to support Zhang zuolin during anti-Feng Warlord War. In the result, Japan decided to aid Zhang Zuolinagain after Discussion of the various departments and the comparison of Zhang andGou. However, the contradiction of both sides does not only relaxed but intensified.The Japanese Kwantung manufactured Huanggutun Event and killed Zhang Zuolin in1928, which symbolized the end of Zhang-aided policy basically.
