Lao Qin wrote the article "Guo Dejie: Haunting the Spirit Hall, Fake Pregnancy, Helping Her Husband Run for Vice President, Competing Everywhere, No Regrets in This Life", which mentioned that Li Zongren, a general of the Nationalist Army, married Li Xiuwen as a fellow villager as early as 1911, and gave birth to his eldest son Li Youlin in 1919. However, in 1924, when he was serving as the commander-in-chief of the "Dinggui Army", he occasionally saw Guo Dejie, a woman in Guiping, Guangxi, with a good face, so he hid from his family and secretly spent a lot of money to hire him as a second wife.
To be fair, Li Xiufu and Guo Dejie are both good women.
However, they all can't accept the reality of "two women serving a husband and two women" from the bottom of their hearts.
In the end, a farce of fighting each other was staged in front of Li Zongren's mother's spiritual hall.
Li Zongren also hated Li Xiuwen because of this, and from then on, he only loved Guo Dejie, and completely snubbed his original wife.
To be honest, although the Provisional Law of the Republic of China promulgated by the Republic of China government in 1912 has emphasized monogamy, many people's feudal ideas have not been completely eradicated, and there is still a phenomenon of concubinage in society.
Li Zongren's practice of marrying one after another was not condemned by too many people at the time.
But he hid from the family, first cut and then married back a woman, and made the family restless, so that his wife and daughter were separated, permanently separated from the original partner, and alienated from his son' flesh and bones, or criticized.
Today, Lao Qin is talking about something that is the opposite of Li Zongren's situation of "marrying a wife and taking a concubine".
This incident happened to the founding general Zhang Yunyi.
Regarding the deeds of General Zhang Yunyi, Lao Qin wrote an article last year entitled "The Legendary General of the Republic, Enjoying the Treatment of a Marshal, Participating in Many Major Uprisings, But Unscathed".
In particular, the article mentions that Zhang Yunyi is the only person in the republic who has the rank of a great general but enjoys the treatment of marshal level.
The reason for emphasizing this is to tell everyone that Zhang Yunyi is a "marshal-level general", or a "marshal-level marshal".
Among the ten founding generals, General Zhang Yunyi's military achievements were not outstanding, and he did not show any dew in the War of Resistance and liberation, and when the military rank system was implemented in 1955, he was old and sick, and he had resigned from his leadership position one after another, and he had no military position, but was awarded the rank of general.
In a word, his qualifications were old enough to resemble Marshal Judd.
Born in 1892, he joined the League in 1909 and participated in the Xinhai Revolution and the Patriotic War. Such experiences are rare among the founding generals of our army.
Moreover, he led the early Baise Uprising of our army and was one of the founders of the people's army.
The reason why he did not make great achievements in battle was due to the specific work arrangements of the organization.
But his work is difficult for others to replace.
For example, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, our Party was in a weak position, and he was one of the few generals who could get involved with the top brass of the Nationalist Army and get courtesy from the other side.
Chairman Mao once said with feeling: "There are not many people in our party who can speak to the Kuomintang generals, and Zhang Yunyi is one of them." ”
In the War of Liberation, he organized millions of people in East China to transport materials, effectively guaranteed logistical supplies, and provided a strong backing for the victory of the war in East China.
On closer examination, his contribution to the revolution was no less than that of other generals, but he was low-key and was rarely mentioned.
Marshal Chen Yi praised his magnificent strength and praised him for "having the capacity of the sea and the virtue of the mountains to look up to.".
Zhang Yunyi is only one year younger than Li Zongren, and he is considered to be a person of the same age group.
Li Zongren is a native of Lingui, Guilin, Guangxi, where he is
When he was studying at the Guangxi Army Primary School, he married Li Xiuwen, a woman from the same village;
Zhang Yunyi was a native of Wenchang County, Hainan, which was under the administration of Guangdong at that time, and he married a fellow countrywoman Wang Bizhen after graduating from the Guangdong Army Primary School.
Soon after his marriage, Zhang Yunyi was sent by the southern branch of the Kuomintang to the warlord Long Jiguangbu, who ruled Hainan Island, to secretly engage in revolutionary activities, successively serving as a platoon commander and a company commander.
Wang Bizhen was a very wise woman, and a year after passing the door, she gave birth to a daughter to her husband, named Zhang Qiong. For several years, there was no fertility.
In 1921, Zhang Yunyi became a battalion commander under Chen Jiongming, the commander-in-chief of the Cantonese Army, and he took his wife and daughter to Guangzhou.
The couple had a very good relationship and lived together for two more years, but Wang Bizhen still had no children.
Zhang Yunyi didn't say anything in his mouth, but Wang Bizhen was anxious in his heart.
In 1923, Zhang Yunyi was appointed as the county magistrate of Jieyang County, Guangdong Province, went to Jieyang, and temporarily left his wife and daughter.
Speaking of which, it is also fitting that he has this marriage.
On the days when he briefly left Guangzhou, when Wang Bizhen took her daughter to the barber shop to cut her hair, she met a small fellow countryman named Han Bi.
This Han Bi is also a native of Wenchang County, Hainan, who has been begging along the streets with his parents since childhood and has tasted all the sufferings of the world.
A few years ago, her parents died of illness one after another, and she was exiled to Guangzhou.
To earn a living, she worked as a child laborer in a factory, then learned hairdressing and worked in a barbershop.
Seeing their fellow villagers in different places, speaking the same hometown tone with each other, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became, and the two made friends.
On the one hand, Wang Bizhen looked at Han Bi pitifully, on the other hand, she also wanted to find someone to "make small" for Zhang Yunyi, and finally, one day, she had the courage to tell Han Bi about this idea, saying that she hoped that she would also marry into the Zhang family, and the two people would be a good companion.
Han Bi was lonely and bitter, why didn't he want to have a stable harbor?
She felt that Wang Bizhen was so kind as a person, and she expected that she would not treat herself badly when she married the Zhang family, so she agreed.
Zhang Yunyi was still in Jieyang, at that time the communication was backward, Wang Bizhen did not have time to inform him, he took the initiative, chose a good day and auspicious day, let his 7-year-old daughter hold a big rooster and Han Bi completed the form of worship, this marriage, even if it is married.
This year, Han Bi just turned 19 years old and Zhang Yunyi turned 31 years old.
In 1924, Zhang Yunyi rejoined the Cantonese Army and served as a brigade commander in Xu Chongzhi's department. He went home to visit his family, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw a strange young woman cooking in the kitchen.
Who is this?
Before he could ask a question, Wang Bizhen had already pulled him aside and explained the reason to him.
As soon as he heard this, he stomped his feet and said, "Aren't you just fooling around?" I'm a soldier, and I'm so old, aren't you worried about delaying people for a lifetime? ”
There was no way, Wang Bizhen told him about Han Bi's tragic experience, and advised him: "Let's also help the suffering people, let's live together, you don't think too seriously." ”
Listening to his wife say this, Zhang Yunyi had nothing to say.
That night, he accepted this family affair and lived with Han Bi.
Han Bi later bore him two sons, Zhang Yuanzhi and Zhang Guangdong.
Both sons grew up to be very accomplished.
Zhang Yuanzhi served as deputy director of the fourth bureau of the former Ministry of Nuclear Industry; Zhang Guangdong was the vice president of the Nanjing Army Command College and was awarded the rank of major general.
Zhang Guangdong was born in 1946, and Wang Bizhen was already tragically caught in the japanese artillery fire in 1937.
Zhang Yuanzhi was born in 1928 and was very favored by Wang Bizhen.
He recalled: "When Ah Niang was alive, she spent much more time taking care of me than her mother, and was much better for me than for my sister. ”
I have to say that Wang Bizhen is a very kind woman.
