Dogmeat general Zhang Zongchang is all you need to know.

I've always thought it a bit weird that despite the KMT really kind of starting in the south, by the time they "win" in the mid-30s their power base is in that Sichuan Hubei-Anhui corridor, and they can't seem to control the south anymore.

why arent there any warlord in the west?
>>281808
There are.
The Ma family ruled Qinghai, Gansu and Tibet.

Perhaps they're wondering why you'd follow a man...before leading up to the battles of Taiping.

he means xijiang and tibet, i.e. the far west which had been controled by the qing. the answer is that they basically seceded from China. the had always had a lot of autonomy so it was natural that they take it a step further. the regions only came under direct control of the Chinese for the first time in history with the Communist government in 1950s. The commies reoccupied tibet and xinjiang and ever since theyve settled so many han in those regions that they now outnumber the natives

Xinjiang never seceded from China.
And Tibet was ruled by both Dalai Lama and Ma Bufang the warlord.

Uyghurs aren't native to Xinjiang.
They came from Mongolia, and they raped the Tocharians.
Han Chinese have made up half the population of Xinjiang since the Qing dynasty.

What the fuck is with this historical revisionism. You're just as bad as the WE WUZ KINGZ N SHEET

That was a fun thread.
Look at modern gang structure and cross apply. Hence Last Kings, yadda yadda yadda.
