Why are the concubines so happy after Zhang's death?

After Zhang's death, his aunts were particularly happy, not because they didn't love Zhang, but because they couldn't let the Japanese know that Zhang was dead. Because these concubines all know that once the Japanese know that Zhang is dead, the Northeast will be in jeopardy! So they can't cry until the sixth son Zhang Xueliang comes back!

Zhang, he is undoubtedly a lean man in troubled times. There was no hope of becoming famous in the Qing government, so he became an outlaw and a hero. But he never imagined that it was such a turn that he got out of his head and later became a big warlord on the separatist side. However, despite his many stupid things, Zhang never gave in to the Japanese in safeguarding national unity.

It is precisely because Zhang did not agree with the Japanese to build railways, mine minerals and immigrate to the northeast, so he gradually became a nail in the eyes of the Japanese and became a person they desperately wanted to get rid of. This also led to the Huanggutun incident carefully planned by Japan in the future. In this incident, Zhang was almost killed. Fortunately, someone rushed to the scene in time and sent Zhang home before his death.

Before he died, Zhang told his concubines to let Xiao Liuzi come back from Ann to inherit his career. It is in this case that Zhang's concubines fought back their grief until the sixth son, Zhang Xueliang, came back and arranged everything properly before telling the news of Zhang's death. At this time, after the Japanese knew the news, it was too late to do anything about the Northeast.
