Something flies in the sky, a bunch of things come from the east to a bunch of things in the west;
Could it be that the Jade Emperor covers the golden hall, and sifts lime and sifts lime.
- Zhang Zongchang, "Wing Xue"
Zhang Zongchang, known as the strange man of the Republic of China, can be seen from this small poem that Zhang Zongchang's poetry can be said to be "unprecedented", and the words are vulgar, but when read, it is still a bit interesting.
Zhang Zongchang is a native of Shandong, born on February 13, 1881, on that day, it is exactly the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, catching up with the Lantern Festival, in the folk saying, this child was born, "the fifteenth official of the first year of the first year", so the family married him a nickname "Lamp Official". When he was young, his family sent him to a private school, which also laid a foundation for him to write poetry later.
At that time, life was not good, Zhang Zongchang's childhood was spent in cattle herding, starvation and other hardships, he could bear hardships, willpower was also very tenacious, no matter what can adapt. At the age of 18, due to the famine at that time, he rushed to the northeast to make a living. Later, in 1899, Zhang Zongchang went to work on the Middle East Railway, and step by step, he also practiced a good marksmanship in the process.
In 1911, Zhang Zongchang officially joined the army. However, throughout the Republic of China period, Zhang Zongchang was arguably the most reputable warlord. Take the troops he led, other people's troops are all neat and well-behaved, but Zhang Zongchang's troops are quite undisciplined, and under the leadership of Zhang Zongchang, there are no rules at all. When passing through some villages, those that can be taken away will not be left behind, and those that cannot be taken away will be burned, which is disgusting.
When mentioning Zhang Zongchang, many people's first reaction to him is "people like wine and meat smell", in his life, life can be said to be extremely luxurious, robbing more than 20 people's daughters as wives, and also married 5 sisters in Belarus as escorts, which shows its arrogance. People call Zhang Zongchang "General of the Three Unknowns", first, they do not know how many guns and ammunition they have; second, they do not know how many people in their troops; third, they do not know how many wives they have. In fact, it also reflects that in this Zhang Zongchang, he does not care about serious affairs, and it is even more ridiculous in luxury enjoyment.
In fact, when this Zhang Zongchang first started, he had a very good relationship with his original wife Yuan Shu'e, but this Zhang Zongchang and Yuan Shu'e's sister, that is, his sister-in-law, had an affair, and after being discovered by Yuan Shu'e, he was retaliated against by Yuan Shu'e - Yuan Shu'e also found a man outside. In this way, Zhang Zongchang gradually began to become a man.
Zhang Zongchang's 5 White Russian aunts and wives are often criticized. At that time, Zhang Zongchang would often take these 5 women to the street to show off the market, he felt that he was giving China a "long face" and taking these foreign women as his aunt. However, no one bought it. In everyone's eyes, Zhang Zongchang's behavior is like a rogue. However, Zhang Zongchang himself is affectionate, and his aunts and wives also find their favorite men to sneak around. However, Zhang Zongchang was not angry after he knew it, and let his aunt and wife fool around, and even said that "sharing a wife" was nothing.
But then again, this Zhang Zongchang's dedication to poetry writing is really persistent. Although it is not a masterpiece of everyone, it can still make people laugh.
