Manage episode 406572234 series 2801567
In this Pacific War Podcast Craig tells Ian the legendary story of Zhang Zongchang, the "Dogmeat General"
Who was Zhang Zongchang? How did he receive the nicknames like: Dogmeat General, Lanky General, Old 86 and such? Why is he considered the basest of the Chinese warlords? Why has he become such a meme across social media?
This podcast covers the history of Zhang Zongchang, the infamous warlord of Shandong province during China's Warlord Era. You will learn how he rose to prominence, what he was truly like versus what propaganda would say and how he influenced the future of China. Did you ever wonder why he was called "Dogmeat General" or "Old 86"? The answers might actually surprise you.
While Zhang Zongchang was in many ways the basest of the warlords, he was also a tyrannical monster who inflicted suffering upon the citizens of Shandong province. He overtaxed, caused severe inflation and punished all those who would dare criticize his rule. His tyranny was so bad it led to the creation of the Red Spear Society.
Zhang Zongchang served under the Fengtian clique, until they eventually were defeated and Zhang Xueliang chose to join Chiang Kai-Shek and the Nationalists. Zhang Zongchang would lead a rebellion, fail, get exiled and eventually was assassinated. Certainly there was a monster behind this meme.
