Zhang Zongchang did one thing, and even Zhang Xueliang said that it was too much, and he never came back again
Zhang Zongchang was the warlord with the most nicknames during the Republic of China period, and what "dog meat general", "three unknown generals", "mixed world demon kings" and so on, are all well known.
Of course, a nickname definitely corresponds to one of his characteristics, in fact, Zhang Zongchang also has a characteristic, that is, he does not like journalists very much.
In 1925, Zhang Zongchang was stationed in Nanjing. One day, Zhang Xueliang and Lu Xiaojia came to visit and exchange small talk, and the three of them were chatting on Xingtou, when suddenly a reporter named Qian Wang handed over a business card and asked to interview Zhang Zongchang.
Zhang Zongchang looked at the business card and asked where the guard reporter was now, the guard said that he was waiting outside the door, Zhang Zongchang smiled and handed the business card to Zhang Xueliang and Lu Xiaojia, and said to the two: "It seems that there are many titles, but he is still a famous reporter." ”
Zhang Xueliang took the business card and looked at it, didn't say anything, Lu Xiaojia read it, directly threw it on the table, skimmed his mouth and said: "A rotten person." Lu Xiaojia told this reporter about his lace news, and after Zhang Zongchang listened, he took his business card and said to the guards: "Lu Gongzi said that he was a rotten person. The guards understood and went down.
After a while, the guards came in to report and said to Zhang Zongchang: "Report, the people have been shot!" ”
"What? Shot? Lu Xiaojia was surprised. Zhang Zongchang said indifferently: "I heard you say that he casually reported you, and I knew that he was not a good bird, and it was better to kill him." ”
Lu Xiaojia regretted that he should not say this reporter, and even Zhang Xueliang said that Zhang Zongchang had gone too far, but the matter had reached this point, there was no room for redemption, and the two had to leave sadly, and there was little contact since then.
Zhang Zongchang saw that the two were gone, and suddenly became happy.
It turned out that this reporter, Zhang Zongchang, had sent someone to look for him a few days ago, hoping to give a positive report on the situation when the troops were stationed in Nanjing, but this reporter was not authentic, and felt that he was a famous reporter and wanted some money with a shelf. Zhang Zongchang knew that and held a grudge in his heart, sent someone to secretly investigate this reporter, and grasped the situation that he often ate and took cards. Unexpectedly, he came to the door today, and just by taking advantage of Lu Xiaojia's affair, he directly shot him.
In this way, even if someone pursues it, they can also push the responsibility on Lu Xiaojia's head, and he has earned a good reputation for daring to stand up for his friends, killing two birds with one stone!
Later, Zhang Zongchang became the governor of Shandong, and it was not long before a strange thing happened in Jinan, and in a very short period of time, half of the newspaper halls were closed, but not long after, many newspapers suddenly opened again, which was very strange.
The cause of the matter is actually very simple, Zhang Zongchang just took office, he sent reporters from major newspapers in Jinan to the Governor's Office and said to them: "Today I invited you to come, just to tell you that you will report positively in the future, although I Zhang Someone has no culture, it is not easy to be an official here, and I also want to do something for the people. ”
At the beginning, the newspaper library insisted on press freedom, Zhang Zongchang was good, bad was bad, did not take his words seriously, but later, Zhang Zongchang saw some of his negative reports, stopped doing it, and began to live with reporters. Many reporters really couldn't do it anymore, so they resigned, and the newspapers could not recruit people, so many newspapers closed down.
But soon after, how did the newspaper offices open again? It turned out that after Zhang Zongchang found that after the newspaper library was closed, his negative reports were more, the reason was that the official newspaper was closed, but there were more underground tabloids, and they played hide-and-seek with him all day, and the blockage could not be blocked, and these tabloids were eyeballs, specially adding oil and vinegar to report negative things, which made Zhang Zongchang miserable.
One day, he counted his heart and summoned the managers of the major newspapers and said to them: "From now on, the newspapers will resume operations, and you will report whatever you want, and I will definitely not care about someone." With his assurance, the managers quickly gathered people and recruited with high salaries, but it turned out that the official reporters had run to other cities, and the managers could only find underground tabloid reporters, and finally reopened the newspaper.
Who knows, just after January, many reporters were arrested. It turned out that this was a plan set by Zhang Zongchang.
Zhang Zongchang was bitter that he could not catch these underground tabloid reporters, so he thought of this plan and let the newspapers reopen, because of the high salary and high status, those tabloid reporters all ran out to apply, and as a result, they were exhausted by Zhang Zongchang.
Of course, Zhang Zongchang did not shoot all these people this time, after all, this kind of thing is too unpopular, but he only taught them a lesson and let them go.
What about these tabloid journalists? After receiving the lesson, coupled with the fact that the treatment of the official newspaper is really good, I am reluctant to lose this job again, and there are more positive reports on Zhang Zongchang.
