Zhang Jingyao (simplified Chinese: 张敬尧; traditional Chinese: 張敬堯; pinyin: Zhāng Jìngyáo, IPA: [ʈ͡ʂɑ̄ŋ t͡ɕìŋi̯ɑ́ʊ̯]; 1881 – 1933), was a Chinese general and the military governor of Chahar and later Hunan Province. He was one of China's most notorious warlords, known for his troops' atrocities and the looting of Hunan during his administration. He was removed from office for his abuses and assassinated in 1933 for his involvement in helping the Empire of Japan attempt to establish the monarchy of Puyi in northern China.
