First, from ancient times to the present, the meaning behind the two words of widow is very interesting, and there are not many things in front of the so-called "widow"!
Think about it, there is no man in the family, naturally there will be people who are worried, but there are not many people who really dare to break into the widow's village at night, and the reason for this, I think you must be aware of the officials.
In history, there are many widows, but there are only a few famous, but in the ancient patriarchal era, widows who could leave their names really had two combs, two brushes.
For example, when Qin Shi Huang fought the world, ba widow Qing appeared, she was rich in the world, even Qin Shi Huang had to give three points of courtesy, and there were even rumors that Qin Shi Huang did not establish an empress, it was because of this person, this melon, we can not eat, because it is not ripe.
For example, the widow of Zhou, who was considered a bridesmaid by Empress Dowager Cixi, became the richest woman worthy of the name at that time, and the widow of Zhou contributed a lot to the luxurious life of Empress Dowager Cixi.

In the past few years, the TV series "That Year the Flowers Bloomed and the Moon Was Round" based on this widow was also well received by the tide, and the female lead actress Sun Li also circled a wave of fans again with her strength.
However, what Kobayashi wants to talk about today is not these two widows who are almost written badly, but "Zhang Widow" in the Republic of China period!
To tell the truth, this Widow Zhang is different from the Widows of Ba and The Widows of Zhou, because the two of them are people who make a lot of money by their minds, while Widow Zhang is a person who works with her hands.
The reason why Widow Zhang was able to be written in the book was because she was fierce enough, she changed from a good wife and mother to a bandit in the Republic of China, did a lot of things that men wanted to do but did not dare to do, and later slaughtered the innocent villagers of the entire village in order to avenge her son. The following Xiaolin will tell you the story of Zhang Widow, sit on the small bench, and start the class immediately.
First, Zhang widow, in fact, she is not surnamed Zhang, the reason why she is called Zhang Widow. Because the man who killed her as a widow was surnamed Zhang.
Her surname is He, a single name is a virgin, not to mention, this name is still quite literary, but when her parents gave her this name, they certainly did not think that she would become a widow later, let alone that she would be the evil side.
He Zhen is a native of Luoning County, Henan Province, which is located in the mountainous area of western Henan, located in the middle and upper reaches of the LuoHe River, belonging to Luoyang, the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, with such a cultural heritage, it is reasonable to say that the people who should be cultivated should be simple people.
He Zhen was indeed such a person at the beginning, but only
In that era of war and chaos, honest people could only be bullied, and He Zhen's husband was a farmer who was not willing to be an honest person.
His name is Zhang You, not to mention, at that time, Zhang You's family was really "there", what was it?
I. (With Land)
However, at that time, having land was not necessarily a good thing, because the soldiers were in chaos, bandits were rampant, and Henan was a big province of bandits, and some land would be remembered by bandits, and from time to time they would patronize it, and they had to pay grain and money, and even some families had to pay their daughters.
fortunately
He Zhen did not have a daughter, but only three sons, named Zhang Zhensheng, Zhang Mingsheng and Zhang Xiansheng
Please keep these three names in mind, because their stories run through the life of Widow Zhang.
Oh yes, now He Zhen is not a widow, but she will soon be.
Third, Zhang You feels that he has a field in his family, and his wife and children, and he should do something about it, at least he must show the man's majesty and let his wife and son worship it.
Zhang You thought of a way to buy a gun, if left now, this move will violate the law, Zhang You can only enter the trumpet, let his wife and children worship him, of course, at that time, this is a magic weapon that can protect themselves.
This is not important, what is important is that Zhang You really got a gun, with a gun, Zhang You is very confident, all day long with the gun dangling around, afraid that others will not know that he has.
Zhang You's gun was so famous that even the bandits were worried about it.
Once, zhang youyao yangwei carried a gun out of the village, and was fired with a black gun, and when He Zhen collected Zhang You's body, the gun had long disappeared.
He Zhen has since become a widow, but at this time she is not yet a well-known "Zhang widow".
A woman, with three children, and all boys, may not be able to describe the pain of this day, but fortunately, He Zhen can endure hardships, and she is greedy and greedy in the morning by relying on a pair of hands to pull up her three children.
Fourth, when the child grows up, the mother should also enjoy some blessings, but He Zhen cannot enjoy the blessings
As the eldest son, Zhang Zhensheng always wanted to share the worries for his mother, but he was a violent temper, because he could not stand the bullying of the landlord's old money, he directly ran to the bandits and joined the gang.
Zhang Zhensheng is still quite capable, after he became a bandit, he soon became famous, and became a small leader among the bandits, Zhang Zhensheng wanted to take revenge and punish the landlord who bullied him.
However, the landlord was not a fool, he soon got the news that Zhang Zhensheng wanted revenge, so he did not stop and directly bribed the gunman.
When Zhang Zhensheng was not paying attention, he fired a shot at his chest, and it was instantly cold.
He Zhen saw LiangLiang's eldest son, and was furious, thinking that the gang was deceiving people too much, so she made a decision, let the younger son Zhang Xiansheng work as a farmer at home, and she took her second son Zhang Mingsheng to join the bandits.
This year is the 12th year of the Republic of China
It was this decision that made He Zhen a well-known widow of Zhang, and of course, this decision also paved the way for her family tragedy and life tragedy.
Fifth, He Zhen took his son into the gang, then according to common sense, it is necessary to go through layers of assessment, especially a female into the gang as a bandit, which involves more things, if you can be looked at by the big boss, you can also be a mrs. press, but if you are not looked at, then the end is not easy to say.
It is a pity that He Zhen was not taken in by the bandit leader, but her fate was not bad, because she had a gun.
After the death of his eldest son, He Zhen sold his family property, bought guns, and then brought guns into the gang, plus he was the mother of the small leader Zhang Zhensheng, and even the bandit leader had to give some thin noodles.
On the mountain, into the gang, naturally have to contribute, not to mention, He Zhen really has the "talent" to be a bandit, after her planning to rob the house, rarely lost her hand, in this way, she has a high prestige among bandits.
After the death of the big boss, everyone pushed He Zhen to become the big boss, and since she had a status, she had to have a loud name, so she called herself "Zhang Widow".
In the 13th year of the Republic of China, that is, the second year of Zhang Widow's banditry, the number of her men and guns has reached thousands, becoming a very deterrent bandit force in the local area.
The target of Zhang Widow's looting was the old wealth of those landlords, and for a time these large families were all in danger, lest Zhang Widow come at night.
Six
With the great fame of Zhang Widow, some small forces always claimed to be Zhang Widow's subordinates when they were doing robbery hooks, so that the people in Luoning, Yiyang, and Song County were miserable, and Zhang Widow also became a veritable "bandit" in the minds of the people.
Like Song Jiang, Zhang Widow had power and would also be valued by the local government, and in the spring of the 14th year of the Republic of China, Zhen Songjun sent someone to contact Zhang Widow, and Zhang Widow was transformed and successfully whitewashed.
Just when Widow Zhang was triumphant
Her second son, Zhang Mingsheng, was booby-trapped by the landlord squires of Touyu Street who joined forces to set up a banquet.
Zhang Widow was furious and corrupt, and once again experienced the pain of losing her son, she personally led the heavy troops,
The entire touyu Street was surrounded and slaughtered, and many innocent people were also killed.
Zhang Widow committed an accident, the top figure of the Zhen Song Army was very angry, Zhang Widow did not say a word, led the team to break away from the Zhen Song Army, and returned to her hometown as a bandit, and soon, her power swelled to more than 1,000 people.
In the 18th year of the Republic of China, Zhang Widow was 49 years old
This year, her power was again favored by Wan Xuancai (the chairman of Henan Province of the Republic of China), in order to let her children have a good future, Zhang Widow let the gang take the gun to Wan Xuancai, and she herself continued to pull the lever.
I think I'll live my life like this
This is the confession of Zhang Widow's heart, but she can't live her life like this, in the 21st year of the Republic of China, Zhang Widow once again tasted the severe pain of the world.
She was the one who did her job as a farmer at home
The youngest son, Zhang Xiansheng, was united by the landlords and rich people who wanted to take revenge on Zhang's widow, and put a black gun in his back to find his two brothers.
Widow Zhang was very angry, and in order to avenge her younger son, she led a large group of people and horses back to Luoning.

But then there was an accident, because it was already dark, so much so
Widow Zhang slaughtered the wrong village, and more than 30 innocent villagers were killed in Huangquan.
At that time, the warlord melee was nearing the end, and the bandit plague in Henan and other places had become the main target of the Nationalist government army's liquidation and suppression, and Zhang Widow's forces were naturally surrounded and suppressed by the government army at this time.
Widow Zhang's power was thus crushed
In the 22nd year of the Republic of China, the 53-year-old widow Zhang was really tossing and turning, so she began to engage in business and started a business of selling guns and drugs, and later she was recognized and reported on the way home from Xuchang, and was arrested and arrested by the subordinates of the Kuomintang army Wu Tinglin.
In order to alleviate the people's anger, Wu Tinglin ordered the widow Zhang to be shot and killed under the Dongguan Bridge in Luoyang.
A generation of bandits Zhang Widow died in Huangquan, ending her legendary life.
