The first female emperor in history, the female leader of the peasant regime, was captured and died unyieldingly and bullied
In the vast history of China, emperors have emerged in an endless stream, but female emperors are few and far between, and even if they are added to the curtain, there are very few people who listen to the government. Many people regard Wu Zetian, the most famous in history, as the first female emperor, in fact, she is only the most famous one, and the first female emperor in history should be The Wenjia Emperor Chen Shuozhen. This female emperor can be described as having no background, and she has worked hard step by step from the grassroots level, which is simply a legend.
Wu Zetian was the real female emperor, but she was not the first and only female emperor in Chinese history, and before her, there was another female emperor, Chen Shuozhen, the female leader of the Zhejiang peasant revolt during the Tang Gaozong period. This woman was only four years older than Wu Zetian, courageous, far-sighted, and wise and courageous, and because she was dissatisfied with the oppression of the powerful officials, she led the peasants to rebel. When this woman established her own political power and ascended the throne as emperor, Wu Zetian had only entered the palace for two years after returning from the Ganye Temple, and was still a Erpin Zhaoyi at that time. It can be said that it is very exciting for Wu Zetian!
Chen Shuozhen, female, born unknown, Zitong people from Chun'an County, Zhejiang. When Chen Shuozhen led the peasants to revolt, because she was not accustomed to the lack of clothing and food among the people, the victims were in pieces, and they were also oppressed by the officials of the imperial court, they led the people to revolt, and after the uprising, she called herself "Emperor Wenjia". After the resistance team organized by Chen Shuozhen set up the banner of insurrection, the peasant regime was established. The rebel army had conquered many places and approached Shezhou and Wuzhou, and for a while Chen Shuo's prestige was greatly shaken, which made the surrounding officials feel frightened.
But such days are not long. Because it was in the Tang Dynasty at that time, the Tang Dynasty ruled dimly, the people who governed were not happy, and the means of punishing people were very cruel. After all, the people's army still could not resist the army of the imperial court, and there were not many weapons, so the later uprising was considered a failure. In the course of the battle, Chen Shuozhen was also injured and later arrested by Cui Yixuan.
After Chen Shuozhen was sent to prison, she still had a certain influence in the people, and in order to eliminate this influence, the government let the soldiers impose capital punishment on her, even tear her clothes, humiliate and torture her, and then take her to the streets to show the public, destroy the image of the goddess, and finally beheaded.
Chen Shuozhen went from the beginning of the army to the defeat and death of the soldiers, but it took more than a month, but the southeast was shaken, and the impact was extremely great. She was the first female peasant leader in Chinese history and the only woman to establish a peasant regime. Born in a folk village, she relied on her wisdom, courage and spirit of resistance to power. Although she failed, as an ordinary rural woman, she dared to hold high the banner of righteousness and make meritorious achievements during the tang dynasty's strong and prosperous period. This kind of wisdom and courage, boldness and boldness is unheard of in Chinese history.
