Bai Chongxi did not take concubines in his life, but he had a son with his subordinate fiancée
In the Republic of China era, warlords were abundant, and it is said that there were thousands of warlords of all sizes in that era. In the chaotic world, as small as a few county towns, as large as a province, only if you have a gun under your hands, you can occupy a piece of land, that is, the earth emperor of this place, kill and take as you please. Therefore, that era was also the period when human desires were most inflated, and for many people in power, it was very common for many people in power to have a lot of money and wives and concubines.
Among those warlords, the Guangxi warlord Bai Chongxi can be regarded as a "clean" warlord. In terms of marriage, he was very different from the warlords of his contemporaries, and he was in love with his wife, Madam Ma Peizhang, all his life. On December 4, 1962, Ma Peizhang died of illness in Taiwan at the age of 59. Bai Chongxi was greatly hit, and his blood pressure soared to nearly two hundred at that time. According to Islamic custom, after burial, the grave is walked. The 69-year-old Bai Chongxi personally led his children and grandchildren around his wife's tomb to chant the scriptures, seven hundred and forty-nine days, and the wind and rain were not lacking, every day. It can be seen that the feelings of the two people are very deep.
Compared with those warlords with a large number of wives and concubines, Bai Chongxi did not take concubines in his life, and in this regard, he also had high requirements for himself, and even had some "cleanliness". However, when he was young, there was also a small episode in his emotional life.
In 1925, Bai Chongxi married in Guilin. At that time, he had not yet achieved one hand in Guangxi to cover the sky, and his wife and family also suffered a lot. Later, whenever Bai Chongxi encountered a war, he first secured his wife and children in the rear, and then went to war alone. In 1930, Bai Chongxi led his troops into Nanning and drove the Dian army out of Guangxi. The wife and two daughters were sent to Hong Kong to ensure they were not implicated.
At that time, Bai Chongxi was the time when the spring breeze was triumphant, and it was inevitable that there would be a feeling of hero's loneliness. Although Bai Chongxi has high requirements for emotional matters, it does not mean that he is lustful. According to Bai Chongxi's attendant staff officer Wu Zutang, "Mr. Bai was a little romantic, and a little bit like ... Almost a lustful hobby".
When his wife was not around, Bai Chongxi was really lonely and sleepless. Sometimes even in the middle of the night, the guards will wake up and accompany him to play chess to relieve the boredom.
China has always had no shortage of people who are good at guessing the minds of those in power, and one of his aide-de-camps, Xu Huisheng, is such a person. This person rushed to the Fengyue place in Nanning, found a few beautiful beauties, and asked them to help their bosses dispel their worries and relieve their boredom. But Bai Chongxi was not an ordinary warlord after all, and this kind of dusty woman could not enter his eyes at all.
Xu Huisheng did not give up, but found a few more good family women, but Bai Chongxi did not mean to take a concubine.
However, in the end, Xu Huisheng still did not give up, thinking that in that year, the ancient Yi Ya was able to make his own son into a delicacy in order to satisfy the appetite of the monarch Qi Huangong, and later gained the trust of the monarch. Although he does not have a son, he has a young and beautiful fiancée.
This Xu Huisheng was indeed not a mortal, and he did not know what method he used, but he actually said that his fiancée Wang Shi had moved.
This Wang family is clean and looks like a small family jasper, just like Bai Chongxi's heart. I think this woman is not a mortal, if it is an ordinary woman, who has such a mind to weigh the pros and cons, and resolutely make such a steady profit and no loss. You must know that in that era, warlords marrying aunts and wives was a piece of cake. Find a small villa, arrange an aide-de-camp and a few guards, that is, a room aunt wife. At that time, the Shandong warlord Zhang Zongchang could not have done such a thing very smoothly, and many women who had been prostituted by him wrote that Zhang Mansion was an aunt and wife.
Bai Chongxi loved this Wang family very much, and specially found a small villa for the Wang family near the Lu Family Garden, and stayed overnight. This woman was also very angry, and it did not take long to give birth to the first son for Bai Chongxi, which made Bai Chongxi particularly fond of her.
Bai Chongxi did not treat his loyal subordinates badly, and arranged for him to be the commander of the guards in the border cities of Guangxi.
However, this matter was still known to his wife Ma Peizhang. Ms. Ma Peizhang was born into a famous family, well educated since childhood, affectionate and open-minded, for her husband's cheating, she did not cry, did not retaliate against the woman, more importantly, she understood that her husband is not the kind of man whose lust is inflated and lacks rational control.
Bai Chongxi also knew that he was ashamed, and did not use rhetoric to persuade his wife to tolerate Wang as a concubine, only saying that except for this son, everything was left to his wife.
Ma Peizhang was soft on the outside and tough on the inside, she chose to forgive, after all, in that era, her husband was already rare in terms of status and character. She gave Wang a large sum of money and took the child to raise herself. It was only to ask that no one should mention the woman again, and no one was allowed to belittle Bai Xiandao.
This way of handling greatly exceeded Bai Chongxi's surprise, and at this moment he realized that his wife was such an open-minded and reasonable woman. And that Wang clan has since disappeared in their lives. However, after this incident, Ma Peizhang also had more eyes, and she gave instructions to Bai Chongxi's staff officer Wu Zutang with great grace and strength, "The days when I am not by his side, Zutang, you must watch Mr. Bai when you hear the wind." ”
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Bai Chongxi and his wife gathered less and left more. Once, when Ma Peizhang heard that Bai Chongxi had died in battle in Nanjing, he rushed to Nanjing desperately, until he saw her husband in person, and it was reassuring that this kind of love must be very touching even if it is written into the current romance novel.
Regardless of politics or military, in terms of love and marriage alone, Bai Chongxi is indeed admirable compared to other warlords.
