Overview[]

Shandong[]

During the Warlord Era, Shandong first fell under the Zhili clique, but after their defeat in 1924 it was taken over by the Fengtian clique, which installed Zhang Zongchang, the notorious Dogmeat General, as governor in 1925. Zhang became infamous for his brutality, extravagance, and undisciplined troops, ruling the province through fear while enriching himself. His reign ended in 1928 when Chiang Kai-shek's Northern Expedition swept north to reunify China under the Nationalist government, forcing Zhang to flee into exile. He was succeeded by Han Fuju, who consolidated Shandong by defeating rival warlord Liu Zhennian, and brought the province under Nationalist control.

Zhang Zhongchang[]

Zhang Zongchang was a Chinese warlord of the Fengtian clique, who ruled Shandong from 1925 to 1928. He was notorious for his brutality, eccentricity, and lavish lifestyle, earning the nickname "Dogmeat General". Time magazine labeled him China's "basest warlord".

"All hail Zhang Zongchang, China's basest warlord and Governor of Shandong Province! Born to a life of conflict, your path would take you from banditry in Manchuria to loyal service under Zhang Zuolin and the Fentian Clique. There, you proved your martial talent in the wars against the Zhili Clique, conquering the great cities of Shanghai and Nanjing. For your victories you were granted Shandong, a province you ruled as your own personal fiefdom in a cloud of opium and cannon smoke.

72-Cannon Zhang, the sky god trembles at your return! Will you show the people a true general of Justice and Might? Will you march in your three-legged stride towards victory? Can you build a civilization that will stand the test of time?"

Introduction: I am the great Zhang Zongchang, the one they call "Old Eighty-Six". Ask me why.
