Chapter 37 verse 15 by the way

It is said that there was a Zhang Zongchang, known as the dog meat general in history, who was friendly to others, valued family affection, and had a tolerant heart of loving women and pity the weak, so he was despised by the Chinese people and became a laughing stock. Although he is disdainful to the world, Zhang Zongchang is a rare hero after all. He once went to Vladivostok and became a local gangster.After returning to the revolution in 1911, he posted a post to join the Youth Gang, and became friends with the party member Chen Qimei.Later, Senge of the Mitsui Consortium in Japan funded the Revolutionary Party's uprising to overthrow Yuan Shikai's government.At that time, Zhang Zongchang was in the Ninth Division, but because the commander escaped, he stood out. Since then, he boarded the Beiyang chariot and became Feng Guozhang's most important person.

That Zhang Zongchang has a strong temperament and treats people with sincerity, but he is strict in running the army. If his subordinates make mistakes, he will not tolerate them.At that time, one of his officers, Cheng Guorui, was punished mercilessly by Zhang Zongchang for violating military discipline.Cheng Guorui was furious and left with hatred, vowing to take revenge on Zhang Zongchang. A few years later, Zhang Zongchang served as an adjutant next to Feng Guozhang, and he was actually Feng Guozhang's number one confidant.One day he burst into tears and said to Feng Guozhang: Marshal, the ancients said that the kindness of parents is the most unforgettable.He also said that the kindness of dripping water should be repaid with a spring.Think of me Zhang Zongchang, I had a huge appetite when I was a child, and I couldn’t get enough to eat when I was old. Fortunately, I have two parents, who spared no effort to feed me locally, so that my family was ruined by eating.Now I am an adjutant in front of the commander-in-chief, and I have an inexhaustible reputation, but my stepfather and biological mother are still suffering at home, with no food or clothes.

Feng Guozhang said: Xiao Zhang, I understand what you mean, you just want to go home and repay your favor.So what, go to the finance department to get the money, estimate how much it will cost, you can weigh it yourself, and I will sign it when I come back. So Zhang Zongchang returned to his hometown, first kowtowed to his stepfather and biological mother, and thanked the two old people for their kindness in nurturing.Then he went out of the house, and all the parents of brothers from the same village in the army, regardless of whether they knew each other or not, no matter how close their friendship was or not, would all visit their homes and kowtow to their parents.

Including the family of Cheng Guorui who hated him the most, Zhang Zongchang still came to visit. After kowtowing to Cheng Guorui's mother, he offered 300 yuan to show his filial piety. At that time, Cheng Guorui's mother saw it: who is this, why is he so stupid, he calls everyone his father and mother, and gives you money for nothing, how can there be such a stupid person in the world.I have to write a letter to my son as soon as possible. I will definitely not suffer if I hang out with such a stupid person. So Cheng's mother wrote to her son, counting Zhang Zongchang's kindness and stupidity.Cheng Guorui received the letter, thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt sad, and realized that after going out for so long, the only person he met who was sincere and kind to him was this stupid Zhang Zongchang.

It was precisely because Zhang Zongchang treated him so well that he turned his nose up, and even threatened to take revenge on Zhang Zongchang.But others treated him more viciously than the other, so why didn't he dare to say anything? In the final analysis, it is too kind to bully Zhang Zongchang. After thinking about all this, Cheng Guorui came to Zhang Zongchang again, hugged Zhang Zongchang's thigh and cried loudly: "Brother, brother, let me continue to hang out with you, it is impossible to find someone more stupid than you when I go out." Zhang Zongchang said seriously: "Brother, you finally figured it out, you are a fool, you are stupid, and you are the greatest wisdom in the world."We Shandong people are not as smart as others. No matter how smart you are, there will always be someone who is smarter than you. Then you will suffer a big loss.Only this stupid word, but no one can compare to us, brother, think about it, he is even stupid than us, how can he win us?

From then on, Zhang Zongchang and Cheng Guorui continued to have an inseparable relationship, and they were known as "two fools in the rivers and lakes".Suddenly one day Zhang Zongchang called Cheng Guorui and said, "Brother, you have heard that our former boss, that one, is Lao Chen, Chen Qimei, and he is making trouble again." Cheng Guorui asked: What is he making a fuss about again? Zhang Zongchang said: Old Chen is making a fuss, it's too much fun.For the first time, he took the money from Japan's Mitsui consortium Sange and started the second revolution, which made it a mess.Not long ago, he sent killers Wang Xiaofeng and Wang Mingsan to kill Zheng Rucheng, the guardian of Shanghai.Zheng Rucheng was assassinated, and President Yuan cried, saying: Destroy my Great Wall, and the south will never have peace.bro guess what?It really made the president guess. After Zheng Rucheng died, Lao Chen made more trouble. This time, he actually brought Japanese soldiers. The Japanese wealthy tycoon Hisahara Funosuke paid for it. Big kill.Lao Chen’s way of doing this is wrong, how can he do it like this, if he can’t see the Japanese, just take the money, the Japanese give you money to make you mess up China, how can you take this money?I can't take it.

Cheng Guorui asked in a daze: "Brother, let me talk about this matter. I really can't blame Lao Chen. You didn't give him money. Who do you want Lao Chen to find to get the money?"You can only find Japanese people. Zhang Zongchang said: So, this time, we will give old Chen money. Kill him by the way.Zhang Zongchang finally said.
