This warlord with an uncultured bandit background had extraordinary political wisdom: from a wandering boy who came out of a remote rural area in western Liaoning, he became the leader of a group of horse thieves in the fallen grass and green forests, then took the initiative to accept recruitment and became the patrol camp leader of the Qing Dynasty, and then transformed into the Fengtian Warlord of the Republic of China.
With these signs, Zhang Zuolin became a unique phenomenon on the Chinese political stage in the early 20th century.
