Why was Zhang Zuolin not buried until many years after his death?

Zhang Zuolin was extremely prosperous during his lifetime. He successively served as the governor of Fengtian and the patrol envoy of the three northeastern provinces. He was known as the "King of the Northeast" and became the leader of the Beiyang Army and the 14th head of state of the Beiyang government. After the victory of the Second Zhili-Fengtian War, Zhang Zuolin entered Beijing and served as Marshal of the Army and Navy. He exercised his power of governance on behalf of the Republic of China and became the supreme ruler of the country. It was such a hero who was bombed to death by the Japanese. He did not even have a decent funeral. What was even worse was that he was not buried until nine years later. So why did this happen after Zhang Zuolin was killed?

First of all, the tomb has not been built yet. It is said that Zhang Zuolin had already chosen a Feng Shui location for himself a hundred years from now and started building a cemetery. However, he was killed by the Japanese. It was an unexpected incident and the tomb was not completed yet. As Zhang Xueliang, he definitely wanted to follow his father's wishes. He couldn't just find a place to bury his father. He must bury Zhang Zuolin in the cemetery being built. And with the strength of their family, this burial matter would just take some time. , just have to wait.

Secondly, the burial plan was disrupted. After Zhang Zuolin's death, the construction of the cemetery continued smoothly for three years. When the project was basically completed, the September 18th Incident broke out. During the three years of building the cemetery, they only focused on their own development and did not take into account the gains and losses of the Northeast. This directly led to the change of ownership in the Northeast. Moreover, the Japanese hated Zhang Zuolin and made him live in peace. The Japanese moved Zhang Zuolin's coffin to Zhuhai. Forest Temple. At this time, Zhang Xueliang had no time or ability to take care of Zhang Zuolin's burial, so it was shelved again.

In the end, he was hastily buried. The fact that Zhang Zuolin had not been buried has always been a worry for Zhang Xueliang and his family. It was not until the "Xi'an Incident" that Zhang Zuolin asked Wu Tingkui (son of Wu Yong'en) to return to Shenyang. Only with the help of Zhang Xueliang's brother-in-law and the traitor Zhang Jinghui did Zhang Zuolin go to Yima. He was buried in the square, but in the end he was not buried in the so-called Feng Shui treasure land as Zhang Zuolin had planned before his death.
