Speaking of Zhang Zongchang, it is estimated that most people will think of his series of nicknames: General Dog Meat, Chaos Demon King, Long-legged General, and General Sanzhi. In the eyes of most people, he is a soldier, a lot of money, a lot of women, but they don't know that under these negative reputations, he still has a little-known side.
Zhang Zongchang was born in Laizhou, Shandong Province, and went to the northeast to earn a living at the age of 19. He has worked odd jobs, carried long jobs, grazed old rich people, and has also been exiled to Vladivostok. Later, during the Xinhai Revolution, he led a hundred and ten people to join the army, and was able to operate from time to time, and once became one of the leaders of the Warlords of the Feng clan. After the Second Zhifeng War, he also became the governor of Shandong Province and the commander-in-chief of the Zhilu Coalition Army.
In the eyes of outsiders, the later Zhang Zongchang was a mighty warlord, that is, after his debut, his series of absurd words and deeds attracted many nicknames. In particular, the oil poems made by his vassals and elegance can be called unprecedented and unprecedented. However, even if the work is outrageous, Zhang Zongchang also has his own set of unique views on how to behave and do things.
I believe that most people will not feel strange, and the situation after Zhang Zongchang's departure is almost like a cloud of mud compared with when he left home. In the eyes of others, he is out of the ordinary, and it is indispensable to ride a high-headed horse and ride home in a new-style car. But Zhang Zongchang did not do so.
Every time Zhang Zongchang returned to his hometown, whether riding a horse or taking a car, he always got off his horse a few miles away from home and walked into the city to go home. The people around him were very confused and asked him what he meant? Zhang Zongchang's answer was: The country of parents, do not dare to put up a stinky shelf.
From a humble origin, Zhang Zongchang was able to achieve a career in a chaotic world, which is also related to his own way of dealing with the world. He once carved a seven-word quote on his saber: "When things are difficult, you must be bold." He also made many sabers engraved with these words and gave them to his cronies.
Zhang Zongchang spends a lot of money and is also bold. Villagers come to the door to beg for food, and he can generally agree. Even if he had a vendetta in the past, he never cared. Friends have difficulties, he is also not saying two ribs to insert the knife. Sun Dianying spent his life or so, but he only praised Zhang Zongchang.
Although Zhang Zongchang is old and rough, and his few poems are also unbearable, he really did a few beneficial things when he was in Shandong.
At his behest that year, 6 public specialized schools in Shandong were merged to establish a provincial Shandong University in Jinan, which has officially been named "Shandong University" since then. At that time, for the position of principal, Corporal Zhang Zongchang Lixian hired Wang Shoupeng three times. For the investment of Shandong University, Zhang Zongchang is also not stingy. At that time, the Shandong Department of Education allocated 25,000 yuan per month to Shandong University, and the treatment of faculty and staff was: the monthly salary of the president was 400 yuan, and the monthly salary of the head of the department and the professor was 300 yuan to 360 yuan, which was not a small amount at that time.
In addition, Zhang Zongchang also presided over the printing and publication of the Thirteen Classics under the advice of Yang Duduo's good deeds, which is said to be the best printed and bound thirteen classics in history.
After he left the field, Zhang Zongchang once avoided Japan, and in the last years of his return from Japan, he refused to be a puppet of the Japanese and insisted on resisting Japan. However, as a warlord, he had expropriated and violently during his three years of supervision, and also brutally suppressed the strike of the workers of the Qingdao Japanese Textile Factory, resulting in the "Qingdao Massacre", and was eventually shot and killed by the enemy at the Jinan railway station.
