The life of the Sichuan warlord Yang Sen has many controversies, and his growth from a child of an ordinary family to a great warlord with a famous shock party can be described as legendary. He experienced the Xinhai Revolution, the Patriotic War, the War of Resistance Against Japan and other large and small wars.
But another point that has attracted the attention of the world is his deformed marital status.
In his lifetime, Janssen had as many as 12 wives and concubines, and 43 children
, can already be compared to the ancient emperors. Janssen kept taking concubines throughout his life, and the woman he admired would do whatever it took to turn her into his own woman.
Among them, two aunts, who were spoiled by Janssen, actually fell in love with other students during their study abroad and openly brought green hats to the warlords.
When Yang Sen was nearly 90 years old, he also took the last concubine,
The woman was only 17 years old.
If no one said it, if the two people stood together, even if Janssen was her grandfather, no one would suspect it.
This woman's name is Zhang Lingfeng, it is the flower season girl, but she is married to nearly 90-year-old Yang Sen, when Yang Sen was diagnosed with lung cancer lying on the bed, Zhang Lingfeng asked Yang Sen a question, he asked Yang Sen to think about the 12 wives he married in this life, several of them are willing to marry him.
In the face of such a question, Yang Sen, who is about to come to the end of his life, does not know what it is like in his heart, which one of his own will he remember?
01
On February 20, 1884, Yang Sen was born in Longtai Town Temple, Guang'an County, Sichuan. When he was young, Janssen's family was relatively modest, and his father was an unknown military attaché, which also led to Janssen's interest in learning martial arts from an early age. Since childhood, Yang Sen has studied at Zijing Academy and Shunqingfu United Middle School.
In 1908, he entered the Sichuan Army Accelerated School and became a classmate of Liu Xiang, Tang Shizun and Pan Wenhua, among whom Liu Xiang was also the warlord of the Sichuan Army.
In that era, relative to feudalism, marriage paid attention to the fate of parents and the words of matchmakers. So when Janssen was just in his early 20s, his parents arranged a marriage for him, and his wife was a woman surnamed Zhang
This woman was also Janssen's first wife, and she became the first victim of Janssen's absurd marriage.
As Yang Sen's wife, the first marriage, for Yang Sen naturally still has great significance, just married when Yang Sen has not completed his studies, every day from school, Janssen will be with his wife sweet and happy to get along for some time. And this Zhang family has also been recognized by everyone in the Yang family. At home, the Zhang family is very filial to the in-laws, and is also kind to other uncles and sisters-in-law, and is also diligent and thrifty.
At first, Yang Sen was very satisfied with his wife, but soon after Yang Sen was admitted to the Army Accelerated School in Chengdu, Zhang Shi died of illness. At this time, Janssen was only in his 20s,
After learning the news of his wife's death, Janssen was devastated
So after Yang Sen later developed, he also arranged for Zhang's younger brother to become a quartermaster, which was to make up for his deceased wife.
Yang Sen was still immersed in the pain of losing his wife, but his parents did not think so, Zhang Shi was indeed virtuous, but he did not continue the incense for the Yang family. People can't be resurrected from the dead, so they have to quickly find another wife for their sons to continue the incense.
So after graduating from the military academy in 1908, Yang Sen obeyed his parents' arrangement and married a woman from his hometown, Tan Zhengde
。 In that era, it was common for a man to marry several women, but shortly after Janssen's wife died, he obeyed his parents' arrangement and married his second wife, and he did not know what Was in Janssen's mind at this time.
Probably because of Zhang's death, the person Yang Sen really loved was no longer there, so Yang Sen was mostly not very good to his later wife
。 Tan Zhengde gave birth to a son and a daughter for Yang Sen, but Yang Sen always had no enthusiasm for her, rarely lived at home, and could not see each other for the first two people throughout the year, so Tan Zhengde stayed at home alone all day long.
02
Yang Sen's third wife, named Liu Gufang, was a native of Lufeng, Yunnan. In 1913, Yang Sen became a prisoner of the Dian Army because of his defeat, but because of some coincidence, Yang Sen was not only not killed, but was left behind and became Huang Yucheng's right and left arm.
From then on, Yang Sen was mixed in the army of the Dian Army.
One day, Yang Sen helped Huang Yucheng supervise the construction of his villa, but was seen by a small leader named Liu Zhuqing in the construction team, who happened to have a daughter of the age to be married. So Liu Zhuqing, the monkey spirit monkey essence, turned his head around and thought of an idea. He felt that Janssen would definitely soar in the future.
If he married his daughter to him as a concubine at this time, he would certainly not treat himself badly when he developed in the future, so he gave his daughter to Yang Sen.
Facts have proved that this Liu Zhuqing is indeed sharp-eyed, and Yang Sen has indeed developed later, and he has also received a lot of benefits after following Yang Sen's ass. But did his daughter marry Janssen and live happily?
At first, Yang Sen was still good to Liu Gufang, and when he first had a sense of freshness, Yang Sen was also very fond of her, and he would often accompany Liu Gufang to do a lot of things. However, once that fresh energy passed, Liu Gufang was also left behind by Yang Sen.
Even if there are two wives in the family, Liu Gufang and Tan Zhengde, Yang Sen is not satisfied at all
He will often marry more wives at home. Liu Gufang also died of severe lung disease during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
In 1920, Yang Sen betrayed the interests of the Dian Army and defected to the Sichuan Army, because Yang Sen was initially captured, which joined the Dian Army. However, his old classmate Liu Xiang later sent him a message, so with Liu Xiang's help, Yang Sen returned to Sichuan and served as the commander of liu Xiang's Ninth Division.
Now that Janssen, who has the power, acts even more absurdly.
One day, Janssen was riding on the road, and suddenly saw a woman with a very stunning appearance, and was instantly attracted by the beauty of this woman, and this woman finally became his wife. This woman's name was Tian Hengqiu, and she was the last of all Yang Sen's wives. Tian Hengqiu was shopping with the next person in the family, but she did not feel that a man on a horse was followed behind her.
After knowing the specific address, Janssen directly went to the door with great fanfare to say that the media,
However, at this time, Tian Hengqiu already had a marriage contract, and his family situation was also quite good, so naturally he did not want to marry someone else as a concubine, so his father directly refused.
However, Yang Sen, who saw the color, did not care so much, although Tian Hengqiu's father had money, but Yang Sen had the right. So Yang Sen tried his best to please Tian Hengqiu, and at the same time tried to suppress the Tian family's business, and the Tian family was also disturbed by Yang Sen. Finally, under such a soft grinding hard bubble soft and hard application,
Tian Hengqiu could only be forced to marry Yang Sen
。 After this toss, Father Tian also died shortly after.
Tian Hengqiu, who once had a solid family situation and a fiancé in love, could have simply lived a happy life.
As a result, after meeting Janssen, he changed the trajectory of his life.
After encountering the trickery of fate, Tian Hengqiu's heart was already dead.
And Tian Hengqiu because after all from the merchant's family, so very atmospheric, and for the financial management of the family is very set, in addition to these, she is also very able to guess Yang Sen's inner thoughts, so she has become the most favored in Yang Sen's "harem", but also the highest status. Whether Yang Sen goes out to socialize or handle official affairs, he will bring Tian Hengqiu with him, which is enough to see Yang Sen's love for Tian Hengqiu.
But The women of Janssen are like being under a spell and have a miserable life
。 After the defeat of the Kuomintang in Taiwan in 1949, Tian Hengqiu also fled to Taiwan with Yang Sen, but Tian Hengqiu suffered a cerebral hemorrhage a few years later, and finally became so serious that hemiplegia was slurred. The once big girl has become what she is now, and Janssen has also ruthlessly snubbed her. Tian Hengqiu's life in his later years was even more tragic, he lost the favor of Yang Sen, life became very difficult, and the treatment of diseases was all the burden of the daughter of the United States, and finally ended the second half of his life in pain.

Janssen's fifth wife was named Chopin Joan.
When Yang Sen was stationed in Luzhou as the head of the regiment, he had a secretary under him, and Xiao Bangqiong was the daughter of his secretary. At first, Xiao Bangqiong was still a little girl, and Yang Sen naturally would not look at her in the eyes. However, a few years later, Yang Sen held a family banquet, and Xiao Bangqiong went to the banquet with his father.
At this time, Xiao Bangqiong had grown into a big girl
Yang Sen looked at this beautiful girl who stood tall and jade, and he boasted that he had not seen her in a few years, and the little girls who had once grown so big now looked really good.
Maybe Janssen didn't mean anything else at the time, but the speaker had no intention, and the listener had a heart. Whatever he meant was no longer important, a flattering person took the initiative to beat Xiao Bangqiong's father and told him that Janssen was now in love with your daughter, but he had not yet said it, you gave his daughter to him, he will certainly not treat you badly in the future, but in the future, he proposed it, you did not satisfy him, you will suffer.
After some clever persuasion, Xiao Bangqiong was also given to Yang Sen by his father.
Unlike other Yang Sen's family members, She is very simple, and does not have a lot of interpersonal relationships, and her life is also very simple, so she is also deeply loved by Yang Sen. And Chopin Qiong has been studying in the new school since childhood,
He also worked as a teacher, so his status in Janssen's family even surpassed that of his fourth aunt, Ota Hengqiu.
But even so, Xiao Bangqiong did not escape the tragic fate, in 1931 in Luzhou, Xiao Bangqiong was on a boat, when the boat sailed into the river, accidentally fell into the water, Xiao Bangqiong also passed away.
And Yang Sen's sixth aunt's history can be described as very strange, after the death of Xiao Bangqiong, Yang Sen was very sad in his heart, often all night drunk. Once Yang Sen was very drunk, and suddenly saw a woman with a shadow like Xiao Bangqiong,
So he defiled this woman after drinking.
When he woke up the next morning, Yang Sen saw that next to him was a woman who was very simple dressed and looked extremely ordinary, such a woman, Yang Sen usually did not look at it, so he also instantly understood that he was drunk and promiscuous.
And this woman turned out to be the third aunt's maid, named Chen Shunrong, who was only 15 years old at the time.
But Yang Sen, who already had several wives, thought, anyway, people were told by him, one more is not more, one less is not much. So he included Chen Shunrong in his sixth aunt.
However, Chen Shunrong came from a humble background after all, and everything she did was a promise, so she became Yang Sen's least favorite aunt.
If Yang Sen is usually slightly unhappy, he will take a whip to smoke her, smoking a body without finishing his skin, and after a long time, Chen Shunrong will be driven crazy. After going crazy, Yang Sen asked his subordinates to send her to the old mansion in Guang'an, and tan Zhengde became a woman who lived together.
04
Yang Sen's seventh wife, named Zeng Guizhi, was a native of Bijie, Guizhou. At first, Yang Sen marched into Qian, and on the way he took in a homeless little girl, who was Zeng Guizhi. So he handed Zeng Guizhi over to his subordinates to raise, and at first Zeng Guizhi was dirty and dirty. However, after a few years, after the careful upbringing of subordinates, the original wandering little girl also turned into a beautiful embryo.
Seeing that Zeng Guizhi now grew so beautiful, Yang Sen's old problem was committed again, and he first handed Zeng Guizhi over to Liu Gufang as a maid. Every time Yang Sen saw this little girl, his heart was full of color, and his heart was itching. Not long after, Janssen really couldn't help it,
So with the help of the fourth aunt Ota Hengqiu, he forcibly rounded up the house with Zeng Guizhi and successfully made Zeng Guizhi the seventh aunt.
Zeng Guizhi was born smart, Yang Sen also liked her, and later Yang Sen specially hired a tutor for her to educate her, and after a few years, Yang Sen spent a lot of money to send Zeng Guizhi to Shanghai to continue his studies. In the school in Shanghai, there is naturally no shortage of excellent opposite sexes of similar ages, and Zeng Guizhi has many suitors because of his outstanding appearance and figure. And everyone didn't know that Zeng Guizhi was actually Yang Sen's seventh aunt, and thought that she was only Yang Sen's adopted daughter. As a result, Zeng Gui actually fell in love with a classmate.
Of course, this matter could not be hidden from Yang Sen, after Yang Sen learned that Zeng Guizhi had actually given himself green at school, Yang Sen's lungs were about to be blown up, and he was eager to immediately cut these two people with a thousand knives. But he didn't do it directly, he just called Zeng Guizhi back as if nothing had happened. Before the separation, Zeng Guizhi's male classmates also asked her to help him say a few good words in front of Yang Sen after she went back, which was not to add fuel to the fire, and sure enough, after hearing Zeng Guizhi help him say good things,
Janssen then arranged for someone to kill both of them
。
Yang Sen's eighth aunt was named Wang Defang, and Wang Defang's father was also Yang Sen's military secretary, but as a result, he was also forcibly mediated by villains, and he had no choice but to marry his daughter to Yang Sen. Wang Defang is a woman with a strong personality,
Although she was forcibly given to Yang Sen, she never looked at Yang Sen squarely, and her relationship with Yang Sen was also incompatible
。 After Wang Defang married Yang Sen, Yang Sen allowed her to continue her studies, but her relationship with Yang Sen never eased, and finally when Yang Sen retreated to Taiwan, he did not even take her with him.
05
Yang Sen's ninth aunt is named Cai Wenna, and Cai Wenna was already a famous beauty embryo in the school before marrying Yang Sen. After Yang Sen heard that there was such a beautiful woman, he immediately tried to find Cai Wenna's father to say that the mediator. And Father Cai is a utilitarian person, after knowing that It is Yang Sen who wants to pursue his daughter, he gave his daughter to Yang Sen without saying a word.
But he did not expect that by doing so, he was sending his daughter into the mouth of the tiger. Although there is a lesson from the past, Yang Sen is still willing to send Cai Wenna to continue to send to school.
As a result, Cai Wenna and Zeng Guizhi fell into the same fate,
He also had a new lover at school, and was eventually brutally murdered by Janssen after learning about it.
The tenth aunt, Zheng Wenru, was originally an ordinary mill worker, but one of her cousins was a military doctor under Yang Sen. So the cousin who wanted to climb up, he tried to give Zheng Wenru to Yang Sen, and Yang Sen, who had no new love, gladly accepted it, and after experiencing the previous things of Cai Wenna and others, Yang Sen was also very fond of Zheng Wenru.
However, later Zheng Wenru also fell seriously ill, and was eventually abandoned by Yang Sen
06
Yang Sen's eleventh aunt is the daughter of Yang Sen's old servant named Hu Jieyu. Hu Jieyu's father helped Yang Sen take care of his hometown for decades, and the relationship was not bad. So Hu Jieyu went to Chongqing to study at the age of 14, and when she was studying, she lived in Yang Sen's house. At this time, Yang Sen was also more than 60 years old, but Yang Sen, who did not change his heart, actually looked at the 14-year-old Hu Jieyu again, and Hu Jieyu's father was ten thousand disagreements. So Hu Father, who could not bear to watch his daughter fall into the clutches of the devil, quickly took his daughter away from Yang Sen.
Prepare to go back to your hometown. However, in the end, he was forcibly captured by Yang Sen, and finally when Yang Sen fled to Taiwan, he took Hu Jieyu and his fourth aunt Tai Tian Hengqiu to Taiwan.
The last aunt was Zhang Lingfeng, the twelfth aunt, who was the last wife That Yang Sen married to himself on the pretext of recruiting a secretary. Folk rumors that Zhang Lingfeng, who is still pregnant for Yang Sen, is indeed a bit outrageous when she is substituted for Yang Sen's age.
Yang Sen married a total of 12 wives, except for the first Zhang, none of whom was willing to marry Yang Sen
And their fate is almost all very tragic. Maybe Yang Sen's favorite is still Zhang's, after Zhang's death, Yang Sen does not have any desire for love.
