Zhang Zongchang, a warlord of the Feng clan, as a Shandong native, the power is mainly in Shandong, the average person will contribute to his hometown after he is powerful, Zhang Zongchang is not an ordinary person, he does not take the usual road, he not only does not build his hometown, but intensifies his expropriation and tyranny, under the name of Qiao, there are more than 50 kinds of taxes, under such a cool government, the people of Shandong are under the "care" of this Fengzhi warlord, and dare to be angry with Zhang Zongchang, so the people have given Zhang Zongchang a lot of nicknames, such as:" General Dog Meat, Chaos Demon King, General Sanzhi, General Sanduo, General Of the Five Poisons, Zhang Sanduo, and so on", without exception, are all pejorative.
Today we will mainly talk about the nickname "Dog Meat General" and explore its origin. In fact, such a nickname reflects the attitude of the Shandong people to Zhang Zongchang at that time, even if you don't know why, you can feel the dissatisfaction of the masses with Zhang Zongchang in the literal sense. The provenance of the "dog meat general" naturally will not be recorded, but there are several origins in the folk, the specific source is not exact, and with good friends to do a share, throw bricks and jade.
Zhang Zongchang's life was forced by his childhood
It is said that Zhang Zongchang was more difficult to live when he was a child, often hungry, because Zhang Zongchang was born taller than his peers, Zhang Zongchang when he was a child already had the strength capital to fight, plus his courage was not small, under the impetus of hunger, Zhang Zongchang often took a jujube stick to find local wild dogs, through the way of "fighting" with stray dogs, in exchange for the opportunity to eat dog meat.
This matter is not shocking, but it is actually extremely dangerous. After all, Zhang Zongchang is still young, relying on wooden sticks to kill stray dogs, it takes great courage, not to mention that the stray dogs he slaughtered at that time were not ordinary pet dogs, but stray dogs that often wandered in the mass graves, this stray dog would eat anything because of hunger, most of them were red in the eyes, including fierce killing.
Zhang Zongchang fights with such a vicious dog, and feeds on the vicious dog, every fight is desperate, and it is precisely because of his experience of beating dogs and eating meat, some people say that the title of "Dog Meat General" comes from this.
Zhang Zongchang and the "dog" married Liangzi
During Zhang Zongchang's time in Shandong, there was a military parade, and this time Zhang Zongchang stared at a lot of pressure, because Zhang Zongchang's banditry was too heavy, so that other warlords of the Feng clan were not satisfied, and under pressure from all sides, Zhang Zuolin also had the intention to dismiss Zhang Zongchang's department and send people to Zhang Zongchang's department for inspection, and the standard of inspection was very high.
During this important military parade, it is said that a dog stirred up Zhang Zongchang's situation. Zhang Zongchang was riding his tall horse at that time, and when the army was in the spring breeze before, a vicious stray dog came out of nowhere, disregarding the people on the left and right, running alone to Zhang Zongchang, flying up and tearing, Zhang Zongchang raised his feet and kicked, in the process of this chaos, Zhang Zongchang's military boots were bitten and broken, very embarrassed.
Zhang Zongchang became angry and blamed the guards, and after scolding, Zhang Zongchang ordered the whole city to hunt down stray dogs for the army to eat.
In the streets and alleys of Jinan, Zhang Zongchang's soldiers began to hunt stray dogs everywhere, and the scene was bloody, funny, and absurd. Some people say that Zhang Zongchang's nickname "General dog meat" is derived from this.
Zhang Zongchang pushed the card nine
The basis for this statement is that Guangzhou calls the pushing of Pai Jiu yi "eating dog meat", and Zhang Zongchang is called the dog meat general precisely because he likes to push pai jiu.
This claim has the least credibility, after all, Zhang Zongchang is in Shandong, and he prefers to play mahjong rather than Guangzhou's push card nine. However, we will still share this statement with everyone and discuss it together.
Zhang Zongchang's personality
Zhang Zongchang's personality is not worthy of praise, and many of his things have caused the people to suffer greatly, and even the interests of the country have suffered losses because of him.
Whether it is his absurd plunder, or the bloody suppression of the workers; whether it is his clever design to make the people miserable, or his series of acts of betrayal and glory. For Zhang Zongchang's deeds, it is by no means an exaggeration to use the phrase "bamboo is difficult to write".
It is precisely because of Zhang Zongchang's bad deeds that the people of Shandong have boiled over, and it is precisely because of this that Zhang Zongchang's pejorative nicknames in the folk have emerged in an endless stream.
There is a saying in the folk that has been widely circulated, "There are also shallots and garlic, and there is Zhang Zongfu boiled in the pot; there are also garlic and ginger, and Zhang Zongchang is boiled in the pot." Such a saying, Zhang Zongchang and cooking are linked together, and it is precisely this saying that compares Zhang Zongchang to an ingredient, what ingredient? Maybe it's an allusion to "dog meat."
Here we can see that Zhang Zongchang's status as a person is extremely low in the hearts of the people, and he has the meaning of "cooking his people and eating his flesh".
In addition to this, there is a proverb related to dogs, "Dogs don't go up the stove." "It means that the dog meat is lowly and cannot be on the table." It is also said that dog meat cannot be served on the feast. Therefore, calling Zhang Zongchang "General Dog Meat" may be precisely because the people do not recognize Zhang Zongchang, believing that he cannot be on the table at all.
