Cixi: Pick a grid for you to continue the string, this person refuses: I will never marry!
Raising nationality is a special system of the Qing Dynasty, with typical nomadic characteristics, if you want to characterize it, it may be characterized as a racist policy, probably means that you are allowed to enter the system of flag people, enjoy certain state privileges, the law of murder can not use the "Ming canonical punishment", but the family law is handled, even the title has been changed, and finally can be called "slave" instead of "subordinate" (manual dog head), which is a great honor in the Qing Dynasty. However, in China's recent history, there is such a special person, who refused to raise the flag, and also refused Cixi's request to introduce his wife to him, and responded strongly to the fact that he would never marry, this person is Sa Zhenbing.
Sa Zhenbing was born into a Family of Semites, and because he intermarried with Mongols for generations, it can also be said that he is a descendant of Mongolians. After the Yuan Dynasty conquered the whole country, his ancestors settled in Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, and gradually became a famous local family. Sa Zhen Bingsheng's high nose and deep eyes, when he was a teenager, he was valued by Zuo Zongtang, first graduated with the first place in the Mawei Ship Politics School, and then studied in Britain for three years.
During the Sino-Japanese War, Sa Zhenbing briefly repelled the Japanese naval ships, but because of the instructions of the superior leaders, the ship was shrunk, and finally the Sino-Japanese War was lost. His classmate Deng Shichang, on the other hand, applied his sacrifices on the Battlefield of Jiawu and became the soul of China's navy, and he fell into deep self-blame in the years of idleness. At this time, Sa Zhenbing and Ye Zujue became one of the few admirals that the Qing Dynasty could rely on, so they were highly valued by Empress Dowager Cixi.
In 1898, Sa Zhenbing went to the capital to meet Empress Dowager Cixi, and in order to extend an olive branch to him, Empress Dowager Cixi even said that she wanted to choose an unmarried Gege as her wife in the prince's palace, and also raised him to the Eight Banners, although it was said that it was because Sa Zhenbing was a Mongol, but the taste of the subsequent solicitation made Sa Zhenbing feel cold, and he knew why his comrades were killed in the Sino-Japanese War, defeated and humiliated, because of the old demon woman in front of him.
He prostrated his head calmly, saying that he was already a Chinese, no longer distinguishing between manchus and Mongolians and other ethnic groups, and because his wife died because of him, he was ashamed of his wife, and this flesh-and-blood man said, "Wei Chen has taken an oath to heaven and will never marry for life."
It turned out that during the Sino-Japanese War, his wife heard that he was ill and specially ran from his hometown in Fuzhou to Shandong to see him, but Sa Zhen coldly refused his wife, saying that the war was imminent and that women should not be allowed to board the ship. Because of the incorruptibility, the Sa Zhenbing family had no floating wealth, and his wife Chen Yi did not bring a maid, but could only walk alone with a small foot, and died of illness soon after. The blue and white scarf that his wife dropped became a cherished item in Sa Zhenbing's life, and he was inseparable from him for many years.
Although Cixi was disgraced, he still said that he would make Sa Zhenbing deputy commander of the Qing Navy. Later, Sa Zhenbing was promoted to commander-in-chief, and then served as the chief of the navy during the Republic of China period, and served as a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference during the New China period, and finally died of illness in Fuzhou at the age of 93.
