What does TUCHUN mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A military governor who ruled a province of China in the early republican era, roughly 1916 to 1928.
The title tuchun was held by generals who controlled Chinese provinces after the central government of the young republic broke down. These men commanded their own armies, collected local taxes and fought one another, which is why foreign writers often glossed the word as warlord. Historians use tuchun for the governors of that period only, and the term faded when the Nationalists reunified the country.
