Zhang Zongchang has the worst reputation among the warlords, and is called "General Dogleg" and "General Three Unknowns".
Zhang Zongchang, like many warlords at the time, came from a humble background and went out to make a living. He used to carry bags at the docks, help in casinos, pan for gold as a miner, work as a dart player, and work as a bandit. In such a rolling climb, he has practiced a set of kung fu of seeing people and talking about people, and he is good at flattering and steering the rudder when he sees the wind.
A senior newspaper person commented on Zhang Zongchang: "Zhang Zongchang has acted all his life, and he is a bastard." ”
Zhang Zongchang's army was jokingly called "more bandits than bandits".
Zhang Zongchang's rule of law is out of order, and for the common people, it is bad luck to meet them.
Excessive taxation and miscellaneous taxes, a variety of names, and the indiscriminate issuance of paper money, military coupons, and treasury bills, people say that Zhang Zongchang's three years in Shandong were "three years of disaster."
But Zhang Zongchang's fox friends don't think so, they think that Zhang Zongchang is simply the God of Wealth.
said that he was hospitable and a friend enough, and he took the looted people's fat and people's ointment to invite guests to dinner, and borrowed money with a big wave.
Even if Zhang Zongchang's little wife was abducted, Zhang Zongchang would not chase and kill, and he would forget about it the next time they met.
In front of the upper class or foreigners, Zhang Zongchang desperately showed the "advantages" of his "hospitality".
In the last years of Zhang Zongchang's political career, he spent the last years of his political career in Shandong, and the tentacles of his rule also touched Jiangsu and Shanghai at one time. Zhang Zongchang is a native of Shandong, no matter how ferocious the average warlord is, he will not harm his hometown, Zhang Zongchang wants to break this precept.
Hordes of horse thieves and bandits, heroes of the green forest, all came to him, and the common people of Shandong were not only poisoned by Zhang Zongchang and his men, but also by these bandits who came and went.
In the autumn and winter of 1927, there was a great famine in Shandong, and thousands of hungry people starved to death, and even foreign missionaries could not stand it. The missionaries brought the photographs back to the United States, and the Americans asked The New York Times to raise money for the relief of the victims.
The New York Times then sent their correspondent Harrett in China to Shandong to take a look and check the facts. And when the reporter came to Shandong, Zhang Zongchang immediately showed him his "enthusiasm" and "generosity".
At the banquet at the Overseer's Palace, American reporters saw delicacies from the mountains and seas that they had never seen before, as well as expensive French champagne and brandy. Later, the reporter wrote: This feast was rich to the point of sin.
In order to entertain this American, Zhang Zongchang arranged Western food, and there was no good Western chef in Jinan at that time, so he specially invited a chef to the Six Nations Hotel in Beijing. The tableware used in the banquet is imported from Belgium, and each piece is cut into glass.
Zhang Zongchang told American reporters that he spent $55,000 on this set of utensils alone.
The climax of the banquet was when Zhang Zongchang showed off his "international column" to reporters, and he smiled and beckoned more than 40 women, including French, Japanese, Russians and Koreans, who came to accompany the wine.
Zhang Zongchang also told reporters that if the reporter is interested in any of these women, he can take one back to enjoy.
Unexpectedly, this American reporter and Zhang Zongchang thought that he had received people at the top level, but after the American reporter went back, he described the dying victims in great detail, and exposed Zhang Zongchang's expensive tableware and the group of aunts and wives who accompanied the wine.
This report made the Americans completely give up their funding of Zhang Zongchang, and also let people know how arrogant Zhang Zongchang's greed and lust were.
Zhang Zongchang's wives and concubines, there are dozens of people at times, some are from Qinglou, and some are forcibly robbed by people's daughters, and he takes concubines almost anytime and anywhere.
Zhang Zongchang is so shameless, the only thing he can do is to be loyal to Zhang Zuolin, and he is unwilling to be a traitor controlled by the Japanese. After Zhang Zuolin died, Zhang Zongchang also went into decline.
He fled to Japan in 1930 and returned to Japan in 1931.
Zhang Xueliang arranged Zhang Zongchang in Beiping and gave him 80,000 yuan a month for living expenses, but this was not enough for Zhang Zongchang at all.
Han Fuyu
In 1932, Zhang Zongchang, who was unwilling, returned to Shandong and said to his brother, Han Fuyu, chairman of Shandong Province: "There are my old subordinates all over Shandong, as long as I greet him, I can immediately gather sand into a tower and see who kills whom." ”
How could Han Fuyu still sit still when he heard this, he was afraid that Zhang Zongchang would make a comeback on his own territory and threaten his rule in Shandong.
What's even worse is that Zhang Zongchang saw Han Fuyu's wife on the side stand up and leave, and immediately sat down in the position where his wife came from, and said with a ruffian smile: "You took my nest in Shandong, and I will take your wife's nest today." ”
This sentence completely angered Han Fuyu, and he decided to kill Zhang Zongchang.
In September 1932, Han Fuyu asked Zhang Zongchang's enemy Zheng Jicheng to assassinate him at Jinan Station.
Zhang Zongchang's secretary paid 50 yuan to hire someone to collect Zhang Zongchang's body, but no one was willing to accept it. The coffin shops in the city heard that Zhang Zongchang wanted the coffin, but they refused to sell it.
Zhang Luo's subordinates who bought coffins for Zhang Zongchang ran around, and they struggled to buy a coffin.
However, Zhang Zongchang has done all the bad things in Shandong for three years, and he is already a rat crossing the street, and many people gathered together and clamored to burn Zhang Zongchang's coffin to vent their anger.
In the end, Zhang Xueliang, Wan Fulin and others came forward and smuggled Zhang Zongchang's coffin to Bei'an for burial.
Zhang Zongchang is dead, where did his aunts and wives go?
Zhang Zongchang's original partner was an arranged marriage by the family, surnamed Jia, and Zhang Zongchang had no feelings, and she did not leave any children.
In 1916, Zhang Zongchang was assassinated, but he was fine, but Jia was killed, she was also a poor woman, and she had no status among Zhang Zongchang's wives and concubines.
Zhang Zongchang's actual eldest wife is Yuan Shu'e, Zhang Zongchang came to the Northeast at the age of 22, and was later appreciated by Zhang Zuolin. It was during this period that he met Yuan Shu'e, Yuan Shu'e was tall, 1.7 meters, fair-skinned and beautiful, and the lustful Zhang Zongchang fell in love with her at first sight.
Yuan Shu'e was also very satisfied with the young Zhang Zongchang and married him under Zhang Zongchang's pursuit. Zhang Zongchang has a lot of women outside, but his relationship with Yuan Shu'e has always been good.
Every time Zhang Zongchang went out and went home, Yuan Shu'e had to wait for him at the door, and no matter who was around him, he would hug Zhang Zongchang when he met.
The Zhang family is no longer surprised by their way of thinking about each other, saying that this is "meeting and hugging three times".
Yuan Shu'e has always been by Zhang Zongchang's side, and she is also relatively able to give birth, with three sons and three daughters, one of whom died young, and another daughter committed suicide by poisoning. In other words, Yuan Shu'e has two sons and two daughters by her side.
Yuan Shu'e relied on Zhang Zongchang to change her fate and live the life of Mrs. Kuo, no matter how Zhang Zongchang messed with flowers and grass outside, Yuan Shu'e was desperate for him, and the status of other aunts and wives in Zhang Zongchang's heart was always not as good as Yuan Shu'e.
After Zhang Zongchang died, Yuan Shu'e took her four children to Shenyang and opened a pawn shop there.
It can be seen that Yuan Shu'e, the eldest lady, usually used Zhang Zongchang's name to make no less money.
Without Zhang Zongchang, although Yuan Shu'e does not worry about food and clothing, it is impossible to return to the former rich and noble life. She often cries alone on the top of the small building: "Zong Chang, why did you die so miserably, come back and see what kind of life we are living now!"
In 1944, Yuan Shu'e died of depression.
Zhang Zongchang's second aunt is Yuan Shu'e's sister Yuan Zhong'e, and it is precisely because of being pried into the corner by her sister that the sisterhood relationship is completely broken.
When Zhang Zongchang and Yuan Shu'e first got married, they didn't dare to mess with flowers and grass casually, Yuan Shu'e watched very closely and did not allow him to get too close to other women.
But she couldn't prevent her sister from taking precautions, and by the time she found out that Zhang Zongchang and her sister were together, it was too late.
Yuan Zhong'e is not as beautiful as her sister, but she is young, and she usually comes to her sister's house to play at every turn, deliberately approaching Zhang Zongchang. Zhang Zongchang was already soaring at that time, and Yuan Zhong'e couldn't wait to marry him immediately and live the life of a rich wife like his sister.
How could Zhang Zongchang not see what Yuan Zhong'e meant, he quickly fell, and later accepted Yuan Zhong'e as a concubine under the pressure of Yuan Shu'e.
From then on, the sisters lived in a courtyard.
Yuan Shu'e hates her sister shamelessly and often insults her, Yuan Zhong'e is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and there are chickens and dogs jumping in the house every day.
Zhang Zongchang was so noisy that his head hurt, so he simply moved out, and now, no one can stop Zhang Zongchang from doing anything outside.
Yuan Shu'e hated her sister for messing up everything, and also complained that Zhang Zongchang couldn't control her lust. She was very anxious during that time, and finally got carried away and even cheated.
Yuan Shu'e hooked up with a cripple surnamed Jia just to cuckold Zhang Zongchang.
Zhang Zongchang is not in the mansion, Yuan Shu'e and Jia Cripple Qingqing will definitely be discovered, and they will also be known by Zhang Zongchang later.
Zhang Zongchang was angry and returned to Zhang's mansion directly with a gun, and just saw the lame man looking for Yuan Shu'e, he shouted, and the lame man was so frightened that he fled for his life.
Zhang Zongchang shot him and missed, and the lame man was considered to have saved his life.
It can be seen from this incident that Zhang Zongchang's feelings for Yuan Shu'e are still very deep, he feels that he is at a loss, he did not punish Yuan Shu'e, nor did he kill all the lame, and minimized the impact of this incident.
Later, Zhang Zongchang returned to Zhang's mansion, Yuan Shu'e knew that he was wrong, but he tolerated Zhang Zongchang, no longer troubled Yuan Zhong'e, and brought the three children, four and five outside into the door.
Yuan Zhong'e couldn't repair her relationship with her sister, so after Zhang Zongchang's death, she returned to her hometown alone with money.
Many of the wives Zhang Zongchang later found were from Fengyue places, he had no culture, and simply felt that women seemed to have face, so he brought these prostitutes home to support the façade.
These women, without exception, are Zhang Zongchang's money, Zhang Zongchang understands very well in his heart, and he will not compare them with Yuan Shu'e.
The fourth aunt Tai Yaxian loves money the most, and after following Zhang Zongchang, she asked for a lot of money from Zhang Zongchang. The seventh aunt is as calculating as the fourth aunt, and after the fourth aunt fell out of favor, she also used Zhang Zongchang to buy a lot of jewelry.
The fourth aunt and the seventh aunt are both representatives of Aunt Qinglou, they are very realistic, when Zhang Zongchang was in the limelight, they were bent on making money, and when Zhang Zongchang died, they ran away.
And Aunt Seventh is too tricky, that is, she can remarry the owner of the Tianjin National Hotel after leaving Zhang Zongchang, and she has a good relationship with this boss.
Zhang Zongchang's favorite aunt is the eighth aunt Tai'an Shuyi.
In the Zhang family, which has a complicated relationship, An Shuyi did not set up any enemies, and got along well with his aunts and wives.
First of all, An Shuyi is a big girl from a good family, and her uncle is An Chonggen, who assassinated Ito Hirobumi, so the Zhang family will have some respect for her.
The Japanese exterminated Ahn's family, and the Ahn's family became separated while fleeing.
An Shuyi was abducted and sold by traffickers to Zhang Zongchang as a maid.
An Shuyi has no calculating thoughts, works hard in this family, is filial to her elders, and is kind to her subordinates.
Zhang Zongchang accepted her as a concubine because she really had pity and love in her heart, and An Shuyi later gave birth to a daughter named Zhang Chunsui.
After Zhang Zongchang's death, Zhang Xueliang and others also considered that An Shuyi had no one to rely on, so they found her a place to live in Beiping and gave her 5,000 yuan for living expenses.
An Shuyi is an honest woman, and she depends on her daughter for her life, she doesn't dare to use the 5,000 yuan for business, she only dares to deposit it in the bank to eat interest. However, during the war years, the money was swallowed by the bank, and An Shuyi didn't have a penny, and she couldn't find anyone to help, so she could only paste matchboxes for her daughter to study every day.
Because of her cowardly character, even her neighbors can easily bully her. Once the neighbor's bucket was lost, he thought it was An Shuyi who stole it.
An Shuyi didn't even dare to defend herself, and allowed the neighbor to abuse and beat her without evidence, until her daughter came home from school to stop her.
Afterwards, people found out that it was not An Shuyi who stole the bucket at all, and An Shuyi died depressed in such a living situation.
In stark contrast to An Shuyi, Aunt Jiu is too rich and noble, and Fuguier was bought by Zhang Zongchang when he was watching a play. She was sold to an acrobatic troupe since she was a child, and she made a living by performing arts, and because she was petite and cute, she was taken by Zhang Zongchang.
Zhang Zongchang's novelty for Fuguier did not last long, she had no children.
After Zhang Zongchang's death, she received 3,000 oceans. She used the money to enjoy and smoke big cigarettes.
Fuguier has a lot of jewelry, which attracted a greedy little white face, and the scumbag stole her jewelry and sold it for money, and Fuguier decisively proposed to break up.
Later, Fuguier met a college student, who was very knowledgeable and decent, and Fuguier paid sincerely.
Unexpectedly, the former scumbag came to take revenge, ruined Fuguier's face with nitrate water, and robbed her of all her money and jewelry. Fortunately, the college student did not abandon Fuguier, he helped Fuguier recover slowly, and later married her and grew old.
Tenth Aunt Taiqi was born in Qinglou, and after she saw Zhang Zongchang, she tried her best to move Zhang Zongchang to redeem herself. She lives a very low-key life in Zhangfu, except for her love of smoking big cigarettes, she has no shortcomings.
Qi gave birth to a son to Zhang Zongchang, but her life was not good, after Zhang Zongchang died, the Japanese captured her son, tortured him, his son went crazy, Qi was hit, and he began to be in a trance, and died of illness in 1944.
Zhang Zongchang likes beautiful women, but Aunt Eleven is notoriously ugly, and she was so ugly that her father hated her for not being able to marry.
Zhang Zongchang once went to the Northeast for office work, and the eleventh aunt's family was a local nouveau riche, so he lived in the eleventh aunt's house.
Zhang Zongchang is powerful and powerful, and everyone knows that he likes women, and his eleventh aunt and father insist on stuffing his ugly daughter to him. No matter how lustful Zhang Zongchang is, he is also aesthetic, and it is rare to see a woman who has no thoughts at all.
Zhang Zongchang saw that this old man was difficult, so he hurriedly took people away. The old father actually chased his daughter all the way to Shandong, and the three carriages loaded all the dowry of his daughter were thrown directly to Zhang Zongchang and left.
The old man is still propagandizing in Shandong, Zhang Zongchang has possessed his daughter in the Northeast, and now he wants to abandon it from the beginning to the end.
Zhang Zongchang didn't expect that he would be calculated like this, so he could only accept the eleventh aunt.
After Zhang Zongchang died, the eleventh aunt also got 3,000 oceans and returned to her parents' house, the money was in place, and the ugly aunt could be regarded as having completed her father's plan.
The twelfth aunt is an artist, Zhang Zongchang's freshness to her is very short, she was left out in the cold, she was unwilling to stay alone in the empty room, took the initiative to leave the hall, and left Zhang's mansion like this.
The thirteenth aunt and the fifteenth aunt are all understanding people, and they left after staying in Zhang's Mansion for less than a month.
The fourteenth aunt was born in a Qinglou, and she loved beauty the most, and died of tuberculosis before Zhang Zongchang's death.
The sixteenth aunt's wife is a martial artist who sings Peking Opera, not so much to marry Zhang Zongchang, but to Zhang Zongchang who brought it home to please his mother, and Zhang's mother really likes her very much. After Zhang Zongchang's death, she got 3,000 yuan and married a small trader, and she lived well.
Aunt Seventeen is very beautiful, Zhang Zongchang likes it very much, and gave birth to a daughter named Zhang Chunxiao. Because of his beautiful birth, Zhang Zongchang quickly remarried after he died.
The eighteenth aunt is too mysterious, she came to Zhangfu pregnant with pregnancy, and the people in Zhangfu don't know whose child she is carrying in her belly. She is not beautiful, and gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, the boy is called Zhang Dongle, and the girl is called Zhang Chunhe.
When Zhang Zongchang went to Japan, she went to Shanghai, and after Zhang Zongchang returned to China, she didn't even want to contact her. She didn't even tell her son and daughter Zhang Zongchang that he was their father, and she didn't want to contact the Zhang family, so many people thought that Zhang Zongchang was raising his wife and children on behalf of some big man.
The nineteenth aunt and the twenty aunts entered the door together, and both of them were "gifts" from others to Zhang Zongchang. The nineteenth aunt gave birth to a son, who remarried after Zhang Zongchang's death. Twenty aunts, Zhang Zongchang doesn't like her very much, mainly because she has acne on her face, Zhang Zongchang has never been to see her, she has been alone in the empty room, she has no sense of existence in the Zhang family, Zhang Zongchang left after his death, and no one knows where she went.
Aunt Twenty-One is very famous, and she is the famous drama actress Zhu Baoxia. In order to marry Zhu Baoxia, Zhang Zongchang sent 10,000 oceans to her adoptive father and added a box full of jewelry.
It's very cruel to say, such an excellent drama actress can be the leading actor of the play at the age of 12, but she was sold by her own father to the old man to be the twenty-first aunt. After Zhang Zongchang's death, Zhu Baoxia returned to the stage until her death in 1951
Zhang Zongchang's twenty-second aunt was hooked up with Zhang Zongchang in Japan, Zhang Zongchang liked it very much, and took it with him when he returned to China, but this Japanese woman didn't stay in China for a month before going back.
The twenty-third aunt married Zhang Zongchang shortly before his assassination, and she was also an artist, and she continued to perform for a living after Zhang Zongchang's death.
Zhang Zongchang is really famous and has a share of marrying his aunts and wives, but there are few who end up well.
And those Chinese girls and foreign women who were seized and abandoned by Zhang Zongchang or given to others, there is no way to find historical clues.
However, it is precisely because of Zhang Zongchang's affection that most of the aunts and wives also regard him as a tool for withdrawing money, and the only one who really has feelings for him may be Yuan Shu'e.
