In 1925, he is named the military governor of Shandong, his birth province.

And if you've ever heard any stories about Zhang, which some people, some listeners certainly

have, this is from the era where you heard it.

Like every warlord in this era, he becomes a military governor, but it's more like an absolute dictator of a place

with a population of around 100 million people. He is the emperor of Shandong. And signs of

him being, let's say, interesting, kind of weird, were already popping up to the point that

other people were beginning to notice.

For starters, his mother went with him everywhere, absolutely everywhere to include the brothel.

This also included going to the front line, riding on the armored train alongside him.

So I think this is our first case of a battle exorcists. Com combat at close

quarters ghost fighters. I'm not really sure what to call this. Yeah, this is interesting,

isn't it? Because it's like, this guy sounds tough as nails, but he's always got, he's, I have

my physical strength and my you know incredible money and

weapons and hired hired all kinds of goons of every every far east ethnicity but I've also got

my mom with me who can cast spells on people yeah my mom comes with me everywhere and watches

me fuck anybody who questions that gets shot in the face the world's most lethal unsuccessful

mama's boy if your mom can be there in the face. The world's most lethal, unsuccessful mama's boy.

If your mom can be there in the brothel to cast a spell so you don't get venereal

disease and you don't have to wrap it up.

Yeah, it's true.

Once again, to continue the rap analogy, he's the, he got his mama out the hood.

You know, he's like, he's got money.
