Sun Chuanfang
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sun Chuanfang (Chinese: 孫傳芳; Pinyin: Sūn Chuánfāng) (1885-1935) aka the "Nanking Warlord" or leader of the "League of Five Provinces" was a Zhili clique warlord and protege of the "Jade Marshal" Wu Peifu (1874-1939). He was given command of Zhejiang in 1924. By the next two years he expanded his rule to Jiangsu, Fujian, Anhui, and Jiangxi. He set his headquarters in Nanjing. The Northern Expedition ended his rule capturing Shanghai in March 1927 and he fled to Japanese-held Dalian where he was 13 November 1935 assassinated by Shi Jianqiao, the daughter of an executed officer. She rose sympathy amongst the Chinese people and was pardoned by the Kuomintang Government.
