As the saying goes: "Heroes are created in a chaotic world", it is true that in the chaotic world, there are always heroes and heroes, but there are also many people who have great power and do something wrong in the chaotic world.
The term "warlord" became an outright derogatory term during the turbulent Republican period, and this group of people called warlords always occupied one side of the land and caused harm to the people on the other.
Most of the warlords came from the grass and had many bad habits, and while they used their power to oppress the people, they relied on the armies in their hands to kill each other, and for the years of their existence, the people were full of complaints and misery.
Zhang Zongchang is one of the warlords, and compared to other warlords, the degree of evil can be said to be even worse. Zhang Zongchang was absurd in his life, and he was infamous after countless insults, which can be described as infamous, he was like a tu emperor, not only had many wives and concubines, but also always thought that he had created one so-called poem after another.
Such an absurd and contradictory person is known as the "Strange Man of the Republic of China", an out-and-out rogue warlord.
Divide one side
Originally from a poor background, Zhang Zongchang was born in Shandong at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and his family zhongyuan placed great hopes on him from the Guangzong Yaozu and Changsheng clans.
However, the situation was unfavorable and the family had nothing to rely on, and in the early years, Zhang Zongchang could only leave his hometown and break into the Guandong with everyone, and during that period, Zhang Zongchang's mentality changed dramatically, from a worker who ate with strength to a bandit who licked blood on the knife edge.
Zhang Zongchang, who was born in poverty, turned his knife at innocent people and lived a life of eating meat and drinking wine by robbing his house. With the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution and the birth of the Republic of China, Zhang Zongchang saw the opportunity to start recruiting troops and forming a team, and he led the team back and forth between the major warlords, and eventually became a member of the Fengzhi warlord Zhang Zuolin. Since then, Zhang Zongchang has been transformed from a bandit to a general who leads the battle.
In the matter of Zhang Zuolin's entry into the customs, Zhang Zongchang contributed a lot of strength, charging all the way and killing the enemy. After Zhang Zuolin successfully controlled the north, he naturally did not fail zhang Zongchang, who followed him all the way to the saddle, and at that time, Zhang Zongchang was appointed as the overseer of Shandong and became a figure who divided the side.
Of course, Zhang Zongchang naturally will not be a good official who is diligent and loves the people, and the people of Shandong can be said to be living in deep trouble under his governance.
Born as a bandit, he naturally will not change because of the change of status, and he is a bandit in the local area to plunder the people's fat and people's ointment, exploit the people, and do no evil. The people have words of suffering, and can only secretly call him "General Dog Meat" to express their dissatisfaction.
With great power in his hands, wine-colored wealth will not be less, and Zhang Zongchang's casualness in marriage is staggering.
Lose all feeling of shame
Perhaps because he had suffered too much in his early years and turned over to the throne, Zhang Zongchang immediately began to conquer and tyranny to satisfy his own selfish desires.
At that time, some people called him "General Sanzhi" and "Zhang Sanduo", and this person who held a lot of power on one side did not know much about his soldiers, horses, money, and even the number of aunts and wives, and the aunts and wives in one room after another were like tools for him to show off his identity, and were placed in his harems.
In his several years as an overseer of Shandong, Zhang Zongchang could be described as an adulterer and a captive, and his expenses during his reign far exceeded that of his predecessors by more than twenty times, and almost all of his income was used to eat, drink, and gamble. Gambling with prostitutes in Yamen can lose the entire Shandong Province for a year's education without pain, and the wives and concubines he takes in dozens of rooms, these aunts and wives he can't even remember the name can only be numbered.
Whether it is a commoner or a subordinate wife and daughter, as long as Zhang Zongchang is interested, he will not hesitate to grab it, for women, Zhang Zongchang has no specific standards, as long as it is pleasing to the eye, he will be forced to marry.
What is even more ridiculous is that he also married five White Russian women as concubines under the banner of "raising his eyebrows and breathing for the Chinese", and compared with various warlords, zhang Zongchang's aunt and wife are the first.
Due to the large number of people he married, Zhang Zongchang would even forget the residences of his aunts and wives who were not "spoiled" for a long time. And the women who are forgotten by them can only make a living for themselves and survive on their own, and such a shameless villain even wants to learn to recite poetry like a literati rioter, which is really ridiculous and generous.
And the poems he composed were as crude and unappreciable as his people.
The style is elegant
During the Republic of China period, due to the special background of the times, Chinese and Western cultures collided and blended, and a vernacular wave once arose. Zhang Zongchang did not accept foreign cultures, but instead made articles on traditional literature, and Zhang Zongchang, who was rude in nature and misbehaved, even began to call on schools north of the Yellow River to deeply study and implement the four-dimensionalism of "courtesy, righteousness, and shame".
Perhaps trying to justify his name, or just being overconfident in himself, Zhang Zongchang began to create ancient poems. And whenever his works are seen, they can't help but secretly hold their foreheads and control themselves not to laugh in front of Zhang Zongchang.
"The cannon opened to bombard his mother, and Wei Jia Hai Nei returned to his hometown", this is Zhang Zongchang's translation of the "Great Wind Song" - "I also wrote a big wind song", which is bluntly vulgar and vulgar than an educated child.
And such a poem Zhang Zongchang created more than one, when visiting Baotu Spring, Zhang Zongchang splashed ink, leaving a "masterpiece" of "Baotu Spring, Spring Baotu, three eyes as thick as one".
As long as it is happy, Zhang Zongchang will create anytime and anywhere, in order to make his works circulate in the world, he also approved the compilation of "Imitation Kun Poetry Copy", these unarticial and meaningless poems have been preserved and seen by future generations.
Unlike the funnyness of its poems, the "Qingdao Massacre" in the fourteenth year of the Republic of China makes people laugh at the thought of it.
epilogue
Twenty-one years after the Republic of China, Zhang Zongchang, the leader of this warlord who had lost his conscience and done all evil deeds, was finally shot and killed, and the murderer Zheng Ji was both avenging his father and eliminating harm for the people, although he was a murderer, he became a great hero in the hearts of the people, and the National Government finally had to pardon Zheng Zhi to appease the people.
At this point, everything in Zhang Zongchang has turned into the clouds of the past, leaving behind those people and benevolent people who have finally seen the light of day. The reason why there were zhang zongchang and the like was precisely because the social order at that time was destroyed, giving some people with military strength the opportunity to divide one side and occupy the land as the king.
It is still a new era and a new society, and there will never be such an unequal class status again. After countless changes, New China finally stood strong in the center of the world, giving its people shelter and stability.
