Word of mouth has been good. Zhang surnamed Founding General, is there more in Hubei, or more in Hunan? The answer may be unexpected!
Hubei and Hunan are one of the ten major general provinces in China, and there is currently a founding general surnamed Zhang, who is 109 years old, and he is Zhang Lixiong, the founding major general of Longyan in Fujian. There are a total of 120 founding generals surnamed Zhang, which is the first surname of the founding generals, although the Zhang surname does not have a marshal. However, there are 1 major general Zhang Yunyi, 2 generals Zhang Zongxun and Zhang Aiping, 14 lieutenant generals such as Zhang Caiqian, and 103 major generals such as Zhang Xiulong. In 1955, there were a total of 71 founding generals surnamed Zhang, and 49 were promoted to major generals after 1955, thus exceeding the number of founding generals surnamed Li (72 founding generals surnamed Li in 1955, 38 promoted to major generals).
