The Survival Wisdom of the Beiyang Era (169): Cover your ears and ring the bell.
In the chaotic world of Beiyang, where fish and dragons are mixed, all warlords who have a little brain pay more attention to hometown friendship. Zhang Huaizhi, who was once the overseer of Shandong, is even more in line with the principle of "even if you scrape the ground, you must also scrape in other provinces", which seems to be righteous and righteous, but more of a sophistry of new bottles of old wine. In order to maintain their territory and authority, warlords must also establish their prestige at the local level, and naturally they will show a kind face, and the purpose of utilitarianism is also obvious. But there is also a different kind, this person is the "Dingwu Army" general Zhang Xun, because not only do they have braids, but also the Dingwu Army, which has more than 10,000 people under his command, also has braids, so the name of "braided marshal" among the Beiyang warlords is quite weighty, of course, it is also crowned with the hat of foolish loyalty. In the restoration of Ding Wei, it became a hate, and the true and false braids scattered all over the streets of the capital attracted many insults for Zhang Xun, but aside from the chickens and dogs above the temple, Zhang Xun himself was a martial artist without much heart and eyes, and his popularity in the warlord circle was actually very good.
But to say that the most iron relationship with Zhang Xun is Zhang Zuolin, the king of the northeast. When he ascended to the position of the last helmsman of Beiyang, in the Beiyang center finally had the weight to speak, he began to say good things for Zhang Xun, wanting to write off the past, but the feelings between the martial artists really could not represent all, although in the Beijing division at that time, people also said that Zhang Xun's church meeting was the best, not only did not put up a shelf, but also gave more money, not strong people, treat people and be angry. In fact, the most like Zhang Xun is the Jiangxi people, especially Zhang Xun's hometown Fengxin County, in the Beiyang period of the Beijing Division, Jiangxi Guild Hall, Nanchang Guild Hall are Zhang Xun funded to build, and Fengxin Guild Hall built the most.
Among them, the Jiangxi Guild Hall is absolutely luxurious, a magnificent building, can generate power by itself, the drama team inside has always been brightly lit, the Jiangxi people studying in the capital, only ask to Zhang Xun's account, there is no money, those students from Fengxin County, but also by this "braided handsome", eating, wearing and providing, are all covered. Zhang Xun, who values hometown friendship, even gave his fellow villagers a green tile house for each person, and as long as he opens his mouth, Zhang Dashuai will manage it. Every New Year, on the train to Zhang Xun Xuzhou station, Jiangxi villagers are always overcrowded, and the noise reflected in the countryside seems to be more able to see the atmosphere of the New Year, but the New Year is not a white run, in addition to eating and drinking in vain, you can also bring back some rewards.
In the end, Zhang Xunchao's position did not seem to be low, and he also sat on the top spot of the Overseer Corps, but still with a certain local atmosphere, compared to the warlords who attach importance to hometown friendship but are nepotistic, with utilitarian purposes, so as to use it, Zhang Xun's soldiers and soldiers have few of their own hometowns, benevolent to their own villagers, more is a simple vision of returning to their hometowns, his braided army does not have his own hometown soldiers, although he values hometown friendship, there is not much practical utilitarian purpose in it, this is a kind of straight goodwill, This kind of gengzhi also made him mistakenly regard the trap as the expectation of the people, he was obviously a major general and widow, but he was helped to the position of the overseer's ally, and he fooled a restoration but made a wedding dress for them, such a braided marshal naturally appeared to be popular with the beneficiaries, but the price of attaching such importance to the township friendship was also based on the burden of others, such as the northern Jiangsu area where the braid army was stationed, and Zhang Xun's popularity and rural friendship had long disappeared.
