Zhang Jushan

Zhang Jushan was a military officer and politician who served as Prime Minister of the Bai National Republic throughout its existence. One of the most powerful figures of the Fascist regime, he was one of Yu Shanliu's closest and most devoted acolytes. Upon the collapse of the National Republic, he fled to establish the Reorganised Government in Huisong, which he ruled until his death.

Renowned for his passion for martial arts and military strategy at a young age, Zhang joined the Imperial Bai Armed Forces, and quickly rose through its ranks. A staunch believer of Yu's ideals, he was instrumental in orchestrating the 1922 coup that overthrew the Middle Bai Dynasty. Under the newly-established Republic, he was appointed prime minister to oversee the day-to-day affairs in the nominal legislative body of the New National Assembly.

Zhang soon amassed political power to become Bai's second most powerful figure. As the Grand Marshal of the Bai National Republic, he oversaw military plans for the invasion of Kaosha and later the invasion of Kanglapo, while enforcing Fascist rule over the rural areas rebelling against the new regime. As the War of Fellow Brothers progressed, his standing with Yu declined after repeated military failures and was dismissed as Grand Marshal. Upon Yu's suicide, he engaged in a brief political struggle against Pang Dongnin, before fleeing to establish the Reorganised government.
