Anecdote of Warlords in the Republic of China: Zhang Zongchang, the charming Shandong Governor.

Reuse fellow villagers

Zhang Zongchang attaches great importance to local culture and the villagers in Ye County, his hometown. At that time, there was a saying among the people: "When you know Zhang Zongchang, you should carry a foreign knife." . The young men in his hometown will work for at least one battalion commander or company commander as long as they are strong and have good eyes. Even in Yantai Street, some blind people, leaning on crutches to find their way, met a telephone pole to get in the way and shouted, "I'm Yexian! I am Yixian! " The kind pedestrian took his crutch and walked around the telephone pole, so the blind man stopped shouting. It can be seen that it was a great honor to be a Laizhou person in the old Yantai Street at that time.

Donkey's father

As a Shandong overseer, Zhang Zongchang is condescending, but he is a great dutiful son. Zhang Fu has a bad temper. In front of his entourage, he often scolds Zhang Zongchang and raises his hand. Zhang Zongchang always smiles, but never smiles. One night, Zhang Zongchang went to visit his old father. He took a golden mouse out of his pocket and handed it to his father respectfully. The father called him by his real name and asked, "Dog Leftover, where did this golden mouse come from?" Zhang Zongchang said, "One of my secretaries wants to be a county magistrate. Dad, you are a mouse. He went to the jewelry store and beat a golden mouse with gold to celebrate your birthday. " Unexpectedly, my father flew into a rage and said, "Idiot, you won't tell the secretary that I belong to a donkey. Sending a golden donkey is no bigger than a golden mouse. "

Eat lychees

Zhang Zongchang's casual and even childish. When he was in Xuzhou, his mother once accompanied him to dinner, and there were fresh lychees on the table. Mother Zhang didn't know how to eat it, so she swallowed the litchi with a shell, and all the guests and friends passed it on with a smile. Zhang Zongchang then gave a banquet the next day, invited all the guests yesterday, and told the chef to make litchi-shaped candy. When eating, mother Zhang calmly swallowed it. Because the guests don't know what to do, they want to eat after peeling the shell. He laughed after reading it and got revenge.

Sleep with Zhang Zongchang's wife.

Zhang Zongchang's casualness is also reflected in the way she treats women. He marries his little wife casually. As long as he likes, he rents a house, hangs a sign of "Zhang Mansion", sends a soldier to stand at the door, and then inserts someone in, and everything will be fine. However, in a few days, he will forget all about this newly married concubine. Finally, the soldier slipped away and the sign was taken off. Someone joked: Go and sleep with Zhang Zongchang's wife! When this word reached his ears, he laughed it off and didn't care. Not only that, he often rewards his little wife to his meritorious men, and says with a wave of his hand, "Grandma is a bear, and Laozi's aunt is your wife, so take her home!"

Usually careless

Zhang Zongchang is free and generous, but he has his own theory in dealing with things. Once, a group of robbers came to him, and he gave them 10 thousand dollars for resettlement. Unexpectedly, the bandit leader added a vertical axis to the "one", and "10 thousand" became "100 thousand" When the money was received, the quartermaster department found something unusual and reported it to Zhang Zongchang for verification. Zhang nodded, saying that these military supplies have hundreds of oceans. Afterwards, Zhang Zongchang summoned the bandit leader, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, fortunately, you only added one column. If you add two more columns, won't it be 200 thousand? Well, there will be plenty of money in the future. Brother must work hard! " The bandits knew that they were indefensible and tried their best to make contributions again and again in the future.

Take it from others and give it to others.

Zhang Zongchang has many soldiers, so he was advised to lay off staff. He said: "Life is alive, not for fame, but for profit. I didn't run a military school in Zhang Zongchang, nor did I run any training courses. Now more than 200,000 troops in Zhang Zongchang are all coming at me. They voted for me because I didn't mean to seal their posts and give them money to satisfy their desire for fame and fortune. If I am as stingy as others, where will the world be so big? Why do you have to vote for me? What's more, all my fame and benefits are not brought by my family, but by everyone. Take it from others and give it to others. What have I lost? "

Communicate with literati in cultural activities and pretend to be an educated person ―― be a lion hunter.

Zhang Zongchang has never been to school, but he likes to be arty. While in Shandong, he learned to write poems from Shoupeng Wang, director of Shandong Education Department, and published a collection of poems, Xiao Kun Shi Chao. Although these so-called poems are simple, they reflect their most affectionate and natural characters well. Here are some excerpts for appreciation:

Snow song

What is flying in the sky, piling up in the east and piling up in the west. Could it be that the Jade Emperor built a golden palace to sift lime?

pray for rain

Grandpa's surname is Zhang, so why embarrass me, Zhang Zongchang? If it doesn't rain for three days, rip off the Dragon Emperor Temple first, and then bombard your mother with artillery. ?

Youpenglaige

What a Penglai pavilion. That's fucking good. Even the gods can come, so I'll sit down. Put wine by the window and sing to the sea. Come and guess a few punches, brother-in-law is afraid of drinking too much!

I also write a big wind song.

The cannon opened and hit his mother with a bang, and Vega Haine went home. Zhang Zongchang is a hero, and he swallowed the hibiscus in one gulp.

Baotu Spring

Baotu spring, spring water chug, three streams flowing water, light glug, glug light glug.

Daming Lake

Daming Lake, Daming Lake There are lotus flowers in Daming Lake. There are toads on it, goo goo goo goo goo goo goo goo goo goo.
