Since Yuan Shikai, the ancestor of the "Beiyang warlords," drove west to Hexi, his disciples and disciples and grandchildren were overjoyed, lost the restraints of the past, and immediately revealed their true colors, showing their arms and sleeves, pulling together gangs, and at the fastest speed, dividing into three warlords of the Zhi, Anhui, and Feng dynasties, and dividing the country into three pieces. In this era of treacherous warlord chaos, a number of "heroes and good men" have emerged, and the chaotic world has produced heroes. Perhaps by chance, or perhaps by fate, the great warlord Zhang Zongchang "turned out to be born".
Zhang Zongchang
Zhang Zongchang, Zi Xiaokun, Shandong people, one meter eighty-five big, big brain melon seeds, thick neck, a bit like a guy. It is said that "people cannot be disguised, the sea is invincible", this is not false, don't look at Zhang Zongchang who looks stupid, big black and thick, but he has a lot of eyes, he is not highly educated, but he has rich life experience, summed up a sentence, as his motto - when it is difficult to be bold, he carved these seven words on the saber, always motivating himself. There are not many words, but it is quite reasonable to say, relying on this sentence, it really broke out of the sky - successively served as the military governor of Shandong Province, the commander-in-chief of the Zhilu Coalition Army, and was also a well-known warlord in the early days of the Republic of China. It seems that practice still produces true knowledge!
1. The first gift, eight golden sparkling pure golden peaches - the official was lost
Zhang Zongchang joined the Revolutionary Party in his early years, served as the commander of the Guangfu Army under Chen Qimei, and later promoted to the commander of the Third Division of the Jiangsu Army.
Two
During the second revolution, when he fought with the "Beiyang Army", he saw that he really could not defeat others, and immediately defected on the front line, surrendered to the Beiyang general Feng Guozhang, and became a part of the warlords directly under him. Zhang Zongchang's principle is to "stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood", "sharp eyes" do not have a good end. Folks, learn more, it doesn't hurt.
Later, following President Feng Guozhang, he served as the commander of the provisional First Division of the "Beiyang Army.", and when he was fighting with Chen Guangyuan, the overseer of Jiangxi, for territory, he was served by Chen Guangyuan with a "machine gun grenade", and the troops were disbanded, and Zhang Zongchang gave full play to the advantage of being a thigh-long, trotted away, and rushed into the city of Beijing as a long-distance runner.
Back in Beijing, first to find jin yunpeng, the prime minister of his hometown, and then to find the help of pan Fu, the deputy minister of finance of his old friend, to recover the previous arrears of military salaries and wandayang, originally according to the unwritten tradition of the warlord period, since the army was gone, this money became Zhang Zongchang's private property, and I am afraid that I will have to be a billionaire now, that is, I will not do anything, and it will be enough to eat and drink for a lifetime. But Lao Zhang didn't think so, that year, money was a pile of "dung" in front of power. Zhang Zongchang's idea is: first want rights, and then you can get back more "dung".
It is said that there is no coincidence, no book, if you want to doze off, you will come to the pillow, in a few days it will be the sixtieth birthday of the direct chief Cao Kun, Zhang Zongchang has a horizontal heart, and uses this two million oceans to create eight pure golden peaches.
On the day of Cao Kun's birthday, Zhang Zongchang put these eight golden shining pure golden shou peaches on the eight immortals table, and Cao Kun did not open his eyes for half a day, Cao Kun grabbed a golden shou peach and bit it with his teeth, while solemnly saying to Zhang Zongchang: What are you doing? Isn't it a birthday, your whole is also too evil, we brothers who with whom, the next is not an example, the next is not an example! He said and took Zhang Zongchang's hand and walked toward the study.
Pure golden peach
Not good
Kung Fu, Zhang Zongchang came out of it with a smile, and behind him came Cao Kun's amiable voice: "Brother Gong Kun, go back and wait for the letter about the establishment and equipment of the troops."
After some days, Xin'er was waiting, but it was not a good letter, and Wu Peifu, the second-in-command of the warlord directly under the direct line, stirred up this matter. The water that was spilled out of the gift, yes, this ocean of white flowers and flowers is considered to be adrift. Zhang Zongchang was so angry that his eyes went straight to Mars, his teeth were bitten and his feet were stomped, and there was no place for his grandfather to stay here. "Direct lineage" does not want me, I run to the "Feng lineage" Zhang Dashuai to go!
2, the second gift, two earthen baskets - Zhang Zuolin smiled
Zhang Zongchang was angry and led one
pole
The brothers, the servants of the wind and dust, broke into the Kanto again, and defected to the famous "King of the Northeast" Zhang Zuolin. Zhang Zuolin is a "beard."
"Born, but proud of people, heavy righteousness is not heavy profit." When he saw Zhang Zongchang come to him, he was very happy, and he grabbed Zhang Zongchang's hand and said:
Effect Kun
Brother, you are right to go to the two of you, the northeast thieves are enthusiastic, don't say anything, first go to the kang for two cups. While speaking, he commanded his subordinates to arrange a banquet to entertain Zhang Zongchang and his party.
At that time, during the period of warlord melee, many frustrated warlords and politicians who were higher in status and more famous than Zhang Zongchang in the past all defected to Zhang Zuolin, resulting in a situation of many people and few officials, and as a result, Zhang Zongchang only won a false position of "high counselor", and the salary and treatment were OK. He took out his saber and looked at the seven words engraved on it, "Be bold when things are difficult," and the good idea immediately came to mind.
During the Spring Festival, Zhang Zuolin's "Grand Marshal's Mansion" is very lively. The people in the hall who gave Zhang Zuolin a new year's greeting gift were a large group of people in Wuyangyang, at this time, I saw Zhang Zongchang carrying two large earthen baskets in his hands and striding in. Seeing Zhang Zuolin, he put the earthen basket on the ground, clasped his fists in both hands, and said loudly: Follow Kun yuan to throw, pay tribute to gifts, please smile and accept. Without waiting for Zhang Zuolin to reply, he turned and exited the hall. The adjutant stepped forward and lifted the curtain covering the basket to see that it was a basket of fresh fruit and a basket of jewelry fabrics. The people present were talking about it, twittering, and laughing at Zhang Zongchang as an "old hat", who carried two large earthen baskets to give gifts, and did not have to "flatten" to pick. Zhang Zuolin smiled, and the smile was meaningful: Zhang Zongchang wanted to "add bricks and tiles" to his career, and how he lacked "flat burden (authority)", the meaning was very deep, and ordinary people really did not understand.
Pick the basket
After the Spring Festival, Zhang Zuolin immediately appointed Zhang Zongchang as the commander of the gendarmerie battalion, and Zhang Zongchang understood that Zhang Zuolin was further testing him, and he did not abandon the official and immediately took office.
Since then, with the support of Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zongchang has begun his "open and hanging" life. It took only two or three years of hard work, from brigade commander and military commander to shandong military superintendent and commander-in-chief of the Zhilu coalition army, and the officer worshiped the general of the army. For a time, the scenery was indistinguishable, and the world was rumored to be a "three unknown" general, that is, "the soldiers do not know how much, the money does not know, the aunt does not know how much", and some people call it "Zhang Sanduo".
epilogue:
Gift-giving is a technical work, the gold content is still quite high, and the average person really can't master it well. It is said that officials do not give gifts, it depends on what kind of "gifts" you send, some people like antique calligraphy and paintings, you send a lot of real money and silver, that is in the eyes of people is "dung", why? It's so cheesy, it's just vulgar! How elegant are the calligraphy and paintings, not to mention the appreciation space is also large; some people like beautiful women, you sent a picture of Tang Bohu's "Wang Shu Palace Prostitute" authentic manuscript, can't people tear the painting in front of you, why? People like "real people", not "real handwriting", can you, a beauty with a torn piece of paper, solve the problem?
What is the core technology of gift-giving? It is to vote for its liking, in fact, it is not difficult, it is a layer of window paper, which will be broken when it is poked. Zhang Zongchang poked a big hole in this layer of window paper, and he could see everything clearly.
