Debate on Warlords under the Rule of Warlords

On the eve of the Northern Expedition in the mid-1920s, some scholars and social activists engaged themselves in a heated debate over such topics as to who was junfa, how to define junfa, and how to reform the state and the military forces in the society. This controversy originated from the discussion of current political affairs, its influence, however, went far beyond the political comments. It in the long run accelerated the development of the junfa discourse and promoted the scholastic research on Chinese political and military problems.
