Warlord forces are a relatively special existence in the history of our country, they were born in a specific era, usually when the central authorities of the state are the weakest, which will lead to the emergence of some armed forces that use military power to divide one side. Such a situation has re-emerged in modern times and has had some important effects on the process of national development, although the existence of warlords is unfavorable to the country and will bring suffering to the people, but there will also be advantages and disadvantages among the warlord leaders.
Take Zhang Zuolin, for example, his rise to fame process is relatively bumpy, and his birth is also very poor, so even if he later controls the whole territory of the northeast, he still has a certain bottom line in terms of being a person. On the one hand, he relied on this land to strengthen his strength and defend the people in this land; on the other hand, he refused to cooperate when the Japanese came to wreak havoc, which was also a relatively iron-blooded northeastern man. After being framed by the Japanese, he kept his last breath to warn the people around him not to let Zhang Zongchang enter the northeast.
Speaking of which, this person was still pulled up by his hand. Before becoming a high-ranking figure in the warlord's power, this person could only be regarded as a bandit leader, and later brought a group of bandit brothers to join the Feng clan camp, which was considered to be a regular army. Although he was only a battalion commander at the beginning, his later progress was very rapid, especially after the Zhifeng War, because of his relatively large military achievements, he was arranged to garrison Shandong, and since then he can be regarded as a hegemon in this area.
Here, instead of taking good care of the people under his rule, he also created the "Qingdao Massacre", which deeply affected the people. From his nickname of "Doghead General", it can be seen how the people at that time hated him.
When this person was beautiful, he married more than twenty aunts and wives, and even some foreign beauties. In order to accumulate enough money for himself to squander, he also let his subordinates plant and sell large cigarettes, which was really a bad deed. For such a person, the reason why Zhang Zuolin will reuse it before is actually a certain reason, which is that this person's ability to fight is very fierce.
For a military leader, to fight a war is to use a general with strong ability, and Zhang Zongchang, who is not good at character, has this kind of strength, so in the case of ensuring that he can suppress him, Zhang Zuolin will use him, which is also a manifestation of his knowledge and good use.
However, after his death, it was different, and he was worried that his son's gentle nature would not be able to restrain the fierce Zhang Zongchang, so he would strictly prohibit this person from entering the northeast, otherwise it might become another Qingdao that was slaughtered.
Later events showed that he was really very far-sighted, because Zhang Zongchang really found the young marshal, wanted to make a comeback, and wanted to remember his father's instructions and did not let him go. This led to the defeat of the "Doghead General" to Japan, and as soon as he returned to China, he was assassinated in the street, ending his life of crimes.
