Feng Yuxiang (Wade Giles: Feng Yu-hsiang) (1882-1948) was a Chinese warlord most powerful in the 1920s. He was known as the 'Christian General' early in his career, having joined the Methodist church in 1914; an apochyphal but much repeated story recounts how he baptised a contingent of his troops using a fire hose. As his political sympathies moved leftwards, and he formed links with the Soviet Union, he became better known as the 'Red General'.
