Anecdotes of the warlords of the Republic of China: Zhang Zongchang, the governor of Shandong who was spontaneous and arrogant

　　Reuse townspeople

　　Zhang Zongchang has a heavy concept of rural areas and reuses the villagers in his hometown of Ye County. At that time, there was a folk saying: "If you know Zhang Zongchang, you will carry a foreign knife." The young man in his hometown, as long as he is physically strong and has a clear eyebrow, will at least give a battalion commander and a company commander to do the work. Even on Yantai Street, some blind people carrying sticks to explore the way, encountering telephone poles blocking the way, and shouting: "I am Ye County!" I'm Ye County!" The well-meaning pedestrian pulled his stick and went around the pole, and the blind stopped shouting. It can be seen that at that time in the old Yantai Street, being a Laizhou person was a very glorious thing.

　　It belongs to the father of the donkey

　　Zhang Zongchang, as the overseer of Shandong, can be described as majestic, but he is a great filial piety. Zhang Zongchang was grumpy, and in front of his entourage, he scolded Zhang Zongchang at every turn and raised his hand to beat him. Zhang Zongchang always greeted him with a smile and never sharpened his mouth. One night, Zhang Zongchang went to ask his old father for peace, took out a golden little mouse from his pocket, and respectfully handed it to his father with both hands. The father called his name and asked, "Dog leftovers, where did this golden rat come from?" Zhang Zongchang said: "My next secretary wants to get a county magistrate. Dad, you are a rat, he went to the jewelry store and hit a golden rat with gold to give you a birthday. Unexpectedly, the father was furious and said, "Stupid, you will not tell the secretary that I belong to a donkey, then if you send a golden donkey, it will not be more than a golden mouse." ”

　　Eat lychees

　　Zhang Zongchang's casualness is even a bit childish. When he was in Xuzhou, once his mother went to a banquet with him, there were fresh lychees on the table, and Zhang Mu did not know how to eat it, so she swallowed the lychee with shells, and the guests laughed. Zhang Zongchang then set up a banquet the next day, summoned all the hosts and guests from yesterday, and instructed the chef to specially make lychee-like candies to serve. When eating, Zhang Mu calmly and calmly swallowed. Because the guests did not know it, they wanted to peel off the shell and eat it, and after zhang saw it, they laughed and shamed themselves.

　　Go to sleep with Zhang Zongchang's wife

　　Zhang Zongchang's casualness is also reflected in the treatment of women. He married a little wife very casually, as long as he saw it, rented a house, hung up the sign of "Zhang Mansion", sent a soldier to stand at the door, and then stuffed people inside. In a few days, however, he would forget all about the newly married aunt, and finally the soldier slipped away and the sign was taken off. Someone then quipped: Go, sleep with Zhang Zongchang's wife! When the words reached his ears, he laughed and ignored them. Not only that, but he often rewarded his aunt's wife to his meritorious subordinates, waved a big hand, and said: "Grandma is a bear, Lao Tzu's aunt and wife have rewarded you as a wife, lead her back!"

　　Thick and thin

　　Zhang Zongchang is casual and bold, but he is coarse and detailed, and has his own set of theories in handling things. A group of bandits once came to him, and he specially approved 10,000 oceans to pay them for resettlement. Unexpectedly, the bandit leader added a vertical to "one", "ten thousand" became "one hundred thousand", when receiving money, the quartermaster office found something strange, reported to Zhang Zongchang for verification, Zhang nodded and said yes, the quartermaster was in charge of allocating 100,000 oceans. Afterwards, Zhang Zongchang summoned the leader of the bandits, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, fortunately, you only added one vertical, and if you added two verticals, wouldn't it become two hundred thousand?" Well, in the future, there will be more, and the brother can do a good job!" The bandit knew that he was wrong, and in the future he served wholeheartedly and made meritorious deeds again and again.

　　Take from people, send them to people

　　Zhang Zongchang had many soldiers, and some people advised him to lay off employees, saying: "Life is in the world, and if you are not famous, you are profitable." I Zhang Zongchang did not establish an officer school, nor did I set up any training classes, and now all the more than 200,000 troops are not all aimed at Zhang Zongchang? The reason why they voted for me is because I don't skimp on sealing their officials and giving them money, which can satisfy their desire for fame and profit, if I am also like others, both stingy officials and money, then the world is so big, where can I not be allowed? Why do you have to vote for me? Besides, all my fame and fortune are not brought out of my home, but are brought by all, and I take them from others and give them to others, so what is my loss?"

　　Vassal elegance

　　Zhang Zongchang did not go to school, but he liked to be vassal and elegant. While in Shandong, he wrote poetry to Wang Shoupengxue, the head of the Department of Education, and published a collection of poems called "Xiaokun Poetry Banknotes". These so-called poems, although shallow in writing, are very much able to reflect their most emotional character. Here are a few excerpts for viewing:

　　《Tour Penglai Pavilion》

　　Good Penglai Pavilion, good. 　　If the gods can get there, they can also sit down. 　　Put down the wine by the window and sing to the sea. 　　Come and guess a few punches, the brother-in-law is afraid to drink too much!

　　"I also write a big wind song"

　　The cannon opened to bombard his mother, and Wei Jia Hai Nei returned to his hometown. 　　Count the heroes Xi Zhang Zongchang, and the Ande giant whale swallows Fusang.
