The great sichuan warlord Yang Sen is famous for his large number of wives and concubines and many children, only the Ming media is marrying twelve, Yang Sen's aunts and wives are mostly 14-18 years old, and he has more than 40 children. Janssen treated women as playthings and held the power to kill these insulted and damaged women.
In the face of so many wives and concubines, so many children, how does Janssen manage it?
Janssen made many prohibitions for his wives and concubines, such as treating guests, playing cards, smoking, drinking, dancing, watching theater, watching movies, etc., and nothing in the family could be used privately. Household affairs are managed on a monthly basis by the wives and concubines of each house. Both adults and children are prescribed a certain amount of "monthly money".
When he was at home, his younger wife would accompany him every morning to play ball or ride a horse. They were also required to read ancient Chinese, play the piano, and later learn English. Usually a little unsatisfactory, not to beat or scold, sometimes even kneeling everyone in a row, playing "full of red". The wives and concubines treated Yang Sen like filial piety to the emperor's old son, and tried their best to flatter.
Janssen himself stipulated that each wife would stay three nights in turn. If a wife is pregnant, five thousand yuan of living expenses will be paid, and if one of them has a child, she will deposit 20,000 yuan in a foreign bank. In order to win this child fee, they all want to have more children. Each concubine also had a share of the field property.
Spring to autumn, flowers blossom, no one can escape the law of metabolism, can there be no reason for immortality? However, once the wife and concubine grew old and faded, Yang Sen abandoned them. If they had an affair, they would be executed if they found out. Janssen himself is a dog and horse, picking flowers and weeds, and doing whatever he wants, but there are many rules and regulations for wives and concubines: inviting guests, playing cards, smoking, drinking, dancing, watching dramas, watching movies, etc. are all prohibited.
When Yang Sen married 17-year-old Zheng Wenru in Guizhou, most of his children were older than Zheng Wenru and did not want to be called "Zheng Ma", calling her "Miss Zheng". Yang Sen thought that his children dared to disobey his will, which was really disobedience, and he was furious, gathered his children together, beat a "full house red" with a horse whip, and forced his children to shout "Mother Zheng" in front of their faces. The other wives and concubines were afraid that their children would suffer, so they came out to persuade them to change their names to "Zheng Niang" before giving up.
Yang Sen fought for his power, and the concubines he took were all under the age of 18, of which the last seven concubines were: Chen 15, Zeng 14, Wang 15, Cai 14, Zheng 17, Hu 18, Zhang 17, the average age was only 15.7 years old, they were all weak women, and they were all forced to be concubines under the circumstances of Yang Sen's growing power and increasingly obscene. On the one hand, he took advantage of the poverty of these girls' families, both soft and hard, so that their parents could not live in peace and were forced to obey; on the other hand, he took advantage of the fact that these girls were minors, unable to resist their parents, and even more powerless to resist the ravages of Yang Sen; because of their young age, they did not realize that this was a major event of lifelong relations, so they were confused and ignorant and forced to live with Yang Sen.
What is even more ridiculous and hateful is that he constantly concubines and plays with women, and also concocts a set of strong and shameless "theories" about himself, saying nonsense: "I am a person who loves to move forward, and my partner must also be a person who loves to move forward." So, my wives have small feet, half big feet, and big feet; if we say culture, they have illiterates, there are elementary school students, middle school students, college students. So I move forward, and so does my wife. ”
He also said to one of his sons: "Father is old, there must always be a personal attendant around, all your mothers are busy taking care of their dolls all day long, where there is time to manage me, I have to marry another one!" ”
He wanted to whitewash his actions, but on the contrary, the result was to cover up.
No one knows how much Janssen's money is, he is personally in charge, and none of the wives and concubines are completely trusted by him. In Japan, he saved hundreds of thousands of silver dollars, which were confiscated by japan after the outbreak of the War of Resistance. He invested and made huge deposits in MeiFeng Bank and Juxingcheng Bank, and also opened dachuan Bank, and Deputy Military Commander Xia Jiong often ran business in Hong Kong for him. Minsheng Company, Huaxi Xingye Company, and Chongqing Electric Power Company all have his investments.
In 1949, on the eve of the liberation of Chongqing, Yang Sen combined the power of the party, government and army into one, and established five armies of the "People's Army", and when our army approached, Liu Bocheng remembered that he had saved Ho Chi Minh in his early years and had made great achievements in the war against Japan, so he sent people to instigate his uprising, with three conditions: capturing Chiang Kai-shek, protecting the comrades who were imprisoned in the slag cave of the White Mansion, and protecting the Chongqing factory. Yang Sen was worried because he had created the "Pingjiang Massacre", and only sent personnel to explain that it could ensure the safety of the urban area.
Cunning rabbit has three caves. He first sent his fourth concubine, Tian Yuqiu, to Taiwan via Hong Kong with gold and silver treasures. Because Tian Yuqiu's third daughter, Yuwen, was Chiang Kai-shek's maternal niece and daughter-in-law, Tian Yuqiu was able to establish an in-law relationship with Chiang Kai-shek. This laid the foundation for Janssen to gain a foothold in Taiwan.
In the end, except for Xinna's 18-year-old concubine Hu Jieyu, who flew randomly, none of the other concubines were taken away, which shows that these concubines have no status in his mind, but are just playing.
Janssen is also the supreme lord in the family, and his discipline of his children is feudal and chongyang.
He stipulated that his children should graduate from college, and it was best to go to graduate school. Children live on campus and only return home on Sundays and holidays. At home, you must learn to play tennis, horseback riding, piano or other Western instruments. He hired tutors to teach ancient Chinese, English, and mathematics. During the winter and summer vacations, the homework of children is also arranged very tightly, and there is almost no time for free activities, let alone allowing them to take a step out of the door. Every time Janssen returned home, he always held family concerts and ball games to check his children's academic performance.
Janssen likes to wear suits, eat Western food, like to take photos with foreigners, has an English secretary, and uses the English letter Y.S as his signature. He liked foreign music, so he asked his children to learn piano, violin, black pipe, long and short trumpet, etc. Mu Ziqing, who played the black pipe in the Cixi Palace Orchestra of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Lianghua, Ren Ruiqing, a piano teacher in Guizhou, and Fei Maner, a violin teacher, served as home music teachers. At the family concert, the teacher and the children are played to him. Several children have offered to learn Chinese musical instruments, such as the huqin. But he said: "Huqin is a blind fortune teller who eats rice, what kind of learning?" "Among his children, several are studying music.
In order to instill a set of ideas in his children, Janssen personally stipulated that before each meal, like Christians, he would fold his hands and pray in a long tone. The prayer was also drawn up by himself:
Daddy and Mommy, give us food to eat, we have to listen to the lessons, learn good people, only worthy of Daddy and Mommy, please!
After saying the word "please", I began to eat.
Janssen stipulates that when eating, there are three round tables, one is the largest one is sat by his aunts and wives, the other is the larger one is sat by the larger children, and the smaller one is the smaller one. At his table, he sat on the table, and his aunts and wives dressed up and surrounded him like stars and moons. Eat delicious food while laughing and laughing. Some of the children grew up and did not like Janssen's approach, so they prayed before dinner, but closed their eyes and hands, and their mouths were chattering and grunting, and sometimes they made strange faces at each other and squeezed their eyebrows.
Once, when they were praying before dinner, the children saw the scene of Young Wives such as Yang Sen and Zheng Wenru at the dinner table, felt disgusted, and only read "Daddy and Mother" once, and they could no longer read it. Janssen immediately slapped the table and was furious. The aunts were so frightened that they were afraid that their children would be beaten, so they had to pretend to scold their children and ask them to redo their prayers.
Usually, none of the sons and daughters dared to disobey Yang's will slightly, otherwise they would be whipped by him. Chopin Qiongsheng's third son, Yang Hanyu, was originally very pampered. When Yang Hanyu was three or four years old, Yang Sen and Chopin Qiong teased him: "When you grow up, do you like your father and mother, or do you like your wife?" Han Yu replied, "I like my wife." "Since then, I don't like Yang Hanyu."
A literati offered courtesy to Janssen and designed a pattern as a family emblem based on Janssen's "Sen" character. So The jeep in which Janssen was riding was painted with this symbol, and many other things were printed with this symbol. If any of the children entered the university, they were given a gold necklace as a prize, and this symbol was also printed on it. At that time, some people saw this symbol and secretly said that it was both like a "multi-legged reptile" and a "turtle".
Janssen's aunts and wives inevitably compete with each other for each other and fight with each other. When they are upset, they breathe out at their own children. Therefore, the sons and daughters feel dull and suffocated for this family, and there is no warmth. I also saw that some of my aunts and wives were brutally killed, some were driven crazy, and the "Yang Mansion" in the hall was chaotic during the day, crying and crying, noisy and noisy, and the atmosphere at night was gloomy and terrifying. So the children want to grow up quickly and fly high.
Later, Yang Sen fled to Taiwan, with only one Hu Jieyu by his side, and when Yang Sen was 86 years old, she gave birth to a daughter, and then took her daughter to the United States, and never returned.
When Yang Sen was nearly 90 years old, he brought a 17-year-old middle school student named Zhang Lingfeng into the house and completed his last marriage.
On May 17, 1977, Janssen died of illness and died at the Rice Garden Villa.
