character life

Yang Sen, the character Zihui, formerly known as Shu Ze, also known as Bojian, was born in February 1884 in Longtai Temple Township, Guang'an County, Sichuan (now Longtai Town, Guang'an District, Guang'an City). His ancestral home was Caotang Temple, Hengzhou Prefecture, Hunan Province. When Yang Sen was young, his family was average, and his father was a student of Yiwu. Influenced by this, he was deeply interested in practicing martial arts in the army since he was a child. In 1904, Yang Sen graduated from middle school, joined the Sichuan Army in 1906, and entered the Sichuan Army Crash School in 1908. With Liu Xiang, Tang Shizun, Pan Wenhua and other classmates, these people later formed the core figures of the "Crash Department" Sichuan Warlord Group headed by Liu Xiang and Yang Sen. After graduation, he was distributed to the 17th Town of the New Army as a platoon leader. Due to Yang Sen's serious training of soldiers, in the exercises, assessments and competitions, his platoon won the first place many times. In 1910, he was promoted to the 33rd mixed into the right team officer of the First Battalion of the Association, and joined the Alliance in the same year. In 1912, he served as the battalion commander of Wang Lingji's 1st Division of the Sichuan Army. In 1913, he joined the 5th Division of the Sichuan Army of the Xiong Kewu Division and participated in the "Second Revolution". After failing, he was captured. When Huang Yucheng, a general of the Yunnan Army, gathered the prisoners, he saw that all the prisoners were very frightened, but Yang Sen seemed fearless and courageous. Seeing that Yang Sen was very courageous and burly, Huang Yucheng had a good impression of him and left him as an adjutant in the headquarters.

In 1923, he served as commander of the 2nd Army of the Sichuan Army. He was defeated in the Battle of the 1st and 2nd Army. He fled to Yichang and attached himself to Wu Peifu. Wu was appointed commander of the 16th Division of the Army. On September 5, he was awarded the rank of Lieutenant General of the Army, and on October 23, he was awarded General Senwei of General Fu. In February 1924, he led his troops back to Sichuan. On March 8, he was promoted to the rank of general and concurrently served as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy in Sichuan.

On October 23, 1926, Yang Sen accepted the post of commander-in-chief of the 20th Army of the National Revolutionary Army and commander-in-chief of the Sichuan-Hubei border defense appointed by the Nationalist government. Zhu De was his party representative; he wanted to respond to the Northern Expedition Army's leadership against Wu, but he secretly continued to serve as the "commander-in-chief of the first line of the kleptocratic coalition" appointed by Wu Peifu. In October 1933, he participated in the six-way siege of the Red Army's Sichuan-Shaanxi base area and served as the commander-in-chief of the fourth line. In 1935, he was ordered to lead his troops to encircle the Red Army of the Long March. He sent the first and fourth brigades to intercept the Red Army in Xuyong, and the second and sixth brigades were fortified in the Dadu River. He wrote to Zhu De, demanding mutual non-aggression. Zhu De replied that as long as he did not intercept the Red Army going north to resist the Japanese,

After the full-scale Anti-Japanese War broke out in 1937, he led his troops to fight bloody anti-Japanese war and made many military exploits. He participated in many battles such as the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Wuhan, and the Three Changsha Battle of Changheng.

Two months later, the 93-year-old Janssen ended his long life.

Warlord Janssen and his twelve wives and concubines

Among the many modern warlords, Yang Sen, the former general of the Kuomintang Army and the commander of the 20th Army, is a rather legendary one. He experienced the 1911 Revolution, the War to Protect the Country, the melee of warlords, the War of Resistance Against Japan and other historical periods. He not only attacked Yuan and defended the country in his early years. He also colluded with Wu Peifu to sabotage the revolution, create the "Pingjiang Massacre" and actively follow Chiang Kai-shek to fight the civil war. Finally, he fled to Taiwan and died at the age of 96. He became the one with the widest range of activities, the most complex experience and the longest lifespan among the Sichuan warlords.

At the same time, Yang Sen was famous among the Kuomintang warlords for having a group of wives and concubines and many children. He publicly had 12 wives and concubines and 43 children. His absurd and deformed marriage was particularly eye-catching and had been a mystery in the world for thousands of years.

(1) First wife Zhang

Yang Sen's first lady was his first wife, Zhang Shi, which was a typical parental order and matchmaker's word. At the beginning of their marriage, the two had a very close relationship. Zhang was filial and considerate to her parents-in-law, kind to her uncles and aunts, and able to run the family thriftily. He had a good reputation inside and outside the Yang family. Later, after Yang Sen was admitted to the Chengdu Army Crash School, Zhang died of a sudden illness. Yang Sen's young man lost his wife, which was very sad. After his fortune, he let his brother-in-law Zhang Yuanpei come to the 20th Army and serve as a quartermaster. It can be regarded as a kind of "sad" compensation.

(2) Filling in Tan's house

In 1908, after graduating from the military academy, Yang Sen complied with his parents' wishes and continued to fill in Tan Zhengde's house in Guang'an's hometown. The Tan family had an eldest son and an eldest daughter for him. After Yang Sen's wives and concubines formed a group, the Tan family was left out in the cold and guarded the huge house in Guang'an's hometown alone, and the lights were cleared in solitary shadows until he passed away at the age of 92 in 1976.

(3) Liu Gufang

The third wife was named Liu Gufang, a native of Lufeng, Yunnan. In 1913, Yang Sen joined the Yunnan army and supervised the construction of a villa in Anning Hot Spring, Kunming, for the chief Huang Yucheng. Liu Gufang's father, Liu Zhuqing, was also a "small contractor" at the construction site that day. Seeing that Yang Sen had a strong military temperament, was different from ordinary people, and was skilled in handling things, he hastily betrothed his daughter without asking. As everyone knows, Liu Zhuqing's investment has paid off handsomely. After Yang Sen's rise to fame, Liu Zhuqing served as the director of the 20th Army Office in Wuhan and Chengdu and the representative of the army commander, making a fortune. But his daughter was not as lucky as him. During the Anti-Japanese War, Liu Gufang died of lung disease.

(4) Tian Hengqiu

The fourth wife was Tian Hengqiu, who had the highest status and the best family background among the twelve wives of the Yang family, and was deeply loved by Yang Sen. In 1920, Yang Sen was able to return to Sichuan with the support of Liu Xiang for betraying the interests of the Yunnan Army and was promoted to commander of the 9th Division of the Sichuan Army. Once, when he led his troops to enter Langzhong, he met Tian Hengqiu face to face on the street. But when he saw the woman's beautiful appearance and charming appearance, his heart stirred, so he immediately rode a horse to meet each other slowly. After knowing the exact address and family situation, he sent his men to make a matchmaking show. At this time, Tian Hengqiu was already engaged. Moreover, the Tian family had been in business for many years and was a well-known wealthy family. They were unwilling to let their daughter be a concubine at all. Father Tian refused immediately. Yang Sen did not give up. On the one hand, he tried his best to please Tian Hengqiu, and on the other hand, he applied both soft and hard to the Tian family. The following year, Yang Sen was appointed by the Beiyang government as the garrison envoy of Huyong. He became even more fearless and pestered the Tian family in every way. In desperation, he had to send his daughter to Huzhou to end Yang Sen's lust. However, the ashamed and angry father Tian couldn't stand such a blow and was soon angered to death.

After all, Tian Hengqiu came from a family of merchants. He was smart and smart. He was skillful in managing finances and housekeeping. He could also understand Yang Sen's heart. He naturally became Yang Sen's housekeeper and was deeply doted on. During the Anti-Japanese War, Yang Sen took advantage of the opportunity of living with He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, Mao Renfeng and other Kuomintang Central Committee members in Chongqing's "Yushe". She accompanied Yang Sen to make social arrangements and tried her best to curry favor with him.

In 1949, Tian Hengqiu fled to Taiwan with the wealth accumulated by Yang Sen over the years, which shows Yang Sen's trust in her. However, a few years later, when Tian Hengqiu went to Hong Kong to visit relatives, she suffered from hemiplegia for 20 years due to a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. Yang Sen gradually ignored her. Tian Hengqiu's life and medical treatment in his later years were all borne by his daughter in the United States, and he was able to live out the painful second half of his life.

(5) Xiao Bangqiong

The fifth wife, Xiao Bangqiong, was Yang Sen's subordinate's daughter when he was stationed in Shanghai, and he relied on the same means to take the subordinate's daughter into the mansion. Xiao's father was Yang Sen's secretary when he was the commander of the Yunnan Army, a typical scholar in uniform. Once, when he went to Yang Sen's family banquet, Xiao's father took his daughter with him. When toasting, Yang Sen's eyes shone brightly, and he touched Xiao Bangqiong's head like an elder and exclaimed, "I haven't seen you in a few years. The little girl has grown so big, and she looks very zhouzheng." A subordinate who is good at wagging his tail and flattering glimpsed this scene, and encouraged the tongue to persuade the Xiao family to marry their daughter to Yang Sen. Xiao Bangqiong was originally born gorgeous, and she has been a teacher since childhood. Compared to Tian Hengqiu, she behaved more obediently, responded well, was very measured, and more importantly, she was not like Tian Hengqiu's worldly sophistication, hypocrisy, and deliberate posturing, which in Yang Sen's opinion, seemed particularly pure, of course, ten minutes of love. In 1931, when Xiao Bangqiong boarded the boat from Shanghai, she went to the river and drowned because of the boat cover.

(6) Chen Shunrong

Chen Shunrong was her sixth concubine, a typical Guangdong woman with thick eyebrows and big eyes. She was originally a close-fitting girl of Liu Gufang, the third aunt, who was 15 years old. She was raped by Yang Sen after drinking and was later taken as a concubine. Due to her language and personality, Chen Shunrong shrank in fear and was not good at receiving pleasure. She was the one of the "twelve hairpins" that Yang Sen least liked. If she was not careful, she would be whipped to pieces by Yang Sen with a horse whip. Chen Shunrong was stimulated and later became mentally ill. She was sent back to the countryside of Guang'an by Yang Sen with an iron chain. After liberation, she died of illness in Chongqing.

(7) Zeng Guizhi

The seventh wife, Zeng Guizhi, is from Bijie, Guizhou. It is said that she is the best-built of Yang Sen's wives, and was originally Yang Sen's adopted daughter. In the early years, Yang Sen led his troops into Guizhou and took in a homeless little girl in Bijie, who was raised by his subordinates. Flowing light urged the jade man to come, but he never wanted to see that a few years later, the unkempt, lonely and helpless little girl turned out to be slim and beautiful. Later, Liu Gufang was given the maid and renamed Yang Jiagui. Jiagui instead of "Jiagui", Yang Sen saw this healthy and lively, plump and beautiful adopted daughter every day, and couldn't help but be lustful. Soon, he tore off his disguise, completely disregarding human ethics and morality, and with the help of Tian Hengqiu and others, he couldn't wait to "break the melon" for 14-year-old Zeng Guizhi. Then he made a big deal of it. Zeng Guizhi was naturally alert and eager to learn, so Yang Sen hired a tutor for her, and a few years later sent her to Shanghai, Beijing and other places to study at all costs. In order to bring this concubine into the social arena in the future, as his own decorative vase.

However, when Zeng Guizhi was studying in Shanghai, he couldn't help himself, boldly pursued a new life, and sincerely fell in love with his classmate Chen. When Yang Sen found out, he was very angry and planned to shoot the two in the wilderness of Quxian County.

(8) Wang Defang

The eighth concubine, Wang Defang, is from Chengdu. She is the most self-reliant and self-respecting one of the "Twelve Hairpins" who broke up with Yang Sen boldly. Wang Defang's father was originally a secretary of Yang Sen's 20th Army and was cautious. He was forced to marry his daughter to Yang Sen by a shameless villain. Wang Defang was only 15 years old at the time and was still in middle school. After getting married, Yang Sen allowed her to continue her studies and sent her to the Shanghai National Conservatory of Music. After Wang Defang returned from his studies, he served as the principal of Chengdu Tianfu Middle School founded by Yang Sen, became a social celebrity and was elected as a "representative of the National University" of the Kuomintang. However, his relationship with Yang Sen was like a chilling charcoal, and he had almost no contact. Even the child born changed his surname to Wang. During the "Cultural Revolution", because of Yang Sen, he was forced to commit suicide in

(9) Cai Wenna

The ninth concubine is Cai Wenna of Shanghai County. She is the most beautiful, the most loved by Yang Sen, the most hated by Yang Sen, and at the same time the most tragic one. When Cai Wenna was a student in Shanghai County Girls' Middle School, she was known as the "school beauty" and was famous far and wide. Her otherworldly temperament and forced beauty made people's eyebrows and waist fall. After Yang Sen heard about it, he went to see it specially, and he was very fond of it. When the messenger forcibly agreed, Cai Father was a down-and-out scholar who pursued fame and fortune. He didn't care about his daughter's happiness at all. He quickly agreed to send his 14-year-old daughter into the tiger's mouth in exchange for the fame and fortune he dreamed of. When others gnashed his actions against ethics, Cai's father actually said shamelessly: "Red pink is given to beautiful women, beautiful women with heroes, although it is the ninth aunt, but the size is also the wife of the commander."

Cai Wenna was naturally beautiful and charming, and she was also a person who had seen the world. After marriage, she was deeply loved by Yang Sen, and every time she was taken to large-scale occasions, she attracted a lot of people, which greatly satisfied Yang Sen's vanity. Later, like Zeng Guizhi, Cai Wenna fell in love with her classmate Lu when she was in college in Chengdu. After the incident was leaked, she was brutally murdered by Yang Sen.

(10) Zheng Wenru

The tenth concubine Zheng Wenru is an ordinary female worker at Yuhua Yarn Factory on South Bank of Chongqing. When Yang Sen served as chairman of the Kuomintang's Guizhou Province, there was a medical officer under him who was a distant cousin of Zheng Wenru, who wanted to become the director of the Military Medical Department. When he learned that Yang Sen was planning to marry Xiao Naxi again, the medical officer ran back to Chongqing and persuaded Zheng Wenru's family to take Zheng Wenru to Guiyang. After carefully dressing him up, he sent him to Yang Sen. Yang Sen was very happy to flatter him, so he appointed him director of the Military Medical Department.

Zheng Wenru was only 17 years old at the time. After the changes of Cai Wenna and Zeng Guizhi, Yang Sen took her by his side and kept her inseparable. Later, Zheng Wenru suffered from lung disease and her appearance changed greatly, and Yang Sen abandoned her. After liberation, Zheng Wenru stayed in Chongqing and married an ordinary worker.

(11) Hu Jieyu

The eleventh concubine Hu Jieyu is the daughter of Yang Sen's servant. Hu's father, Hu Yingzhong, managed Yang Sen's ancestral home in Guang 'an for decades and had a long friendship. Hu Jieyu is 14 years old. She went to Chongqing to study and lived in Yang Sen's home. Many of Yang Sen's children call her Hu's "sister." "When people are old, their hearts are not old, but old cows eat young grass." The half-wilted old man in his 60s is shameless and wants to marry Hu Jieyu. Hu Yingzhong certainly refused and hurried back to Guang 'an with his daughter. Yang Sen actually chased back to his hometown, forcibly brought Hu Jieyu back to Chongqing, and openly married him into the government. Hu Yingzhong was extremely sad, but he couldn't stand the pointing and pointing of his neighbors. He was ashamed and angry that Zhongyuan had left a foreign country, but he didn't know where he had ended up. Hu Jieyu was taken to Taiwan by Yang Sen, and became the only concubine of the "Twelve Hairpins" who had been brought to Taiwan after Tian Hengqiu. When Janssen was 86 years old, she gave birth to a daughter and later took her daughter to study in the United States. Now lives in the United States.

(12) Zhang Lingfeng

The twelfth concubine, Zhang Lingfeng, was from Hsinchu, Taiwan. When Yang Sen was nearly 90 years old, he brought the 17-year-old middle school student into the mansion under the guise of recruiting a "secretary" and completed the last marriage of his life. Less than a year later, Zhang Lingfeng actually gave birth to Yang Sen's last daughter, ranking 43rd, which became a strange story at home and abroad.
