There was a woman in the Qing Dynasty who imitated Mulan to join the army, and as a result, she became pregnant not long after, and the ending was also very bleak

"The sons and daughters of China have many ambitions, and they do not love red clothes and love arms." This sentence is from Chairman Mao's "Seven Absolute Portraits for Female Militias."

Celebrating the outstanding contributions of women's work. Throughout the ages, the vast number of women have shined in all posts in society, and their contributions are no less than those of men, and among them, the famous representative figure in ancient times is "Mulan", who served in the army for her father and went into battle to kill the enemy, and her patriotic enthusiasm and simple feelings of home and country were praised by the broad masses of the people.

According to the "Wild Records of the Qing Dynasty" written by the old man sitting in Liangxi in the late Qing Dynasty, in the late Qing Dynasty, there was also a "strange woman" like "Mulan", her name is unknown, only her surname is Chen, called "Chen".

The bizarreness of his life and the legend of the story can be compared to "Mulan", which can be described as "Mulan of the Late Qing Dynasty".

However, compared with the ending of "Mulan", this "Late Qing Mulan" is much more desolate and more helpless!

According to records, Chen Shi was originally the daughter of an ordinary peasant family in Shaanxi, but she looked black and ugly, and her body was tall, not like a woman at all, but like a man, this blind date marriage is a big problem, the most fatal thing is that this year the soldiers are in a panic, chen's Shaanxi region also broke out a large-scale uprising, the family suffered hardships, can only drift around.

Women dressed as men, joined the army from rong, and grooms became commanders.

It is said that at this time, the imperial court sent Duolong'a to Shaanxi to deal with the mess in the northwest and recruit soldiers on the spot, and chen signed up for the army in order to seek stability, but thanks to the fact that this Chen clan was black and ugly, and he was tall, and he could not see that he was a woman, so he was able to enter the military camp safely and become a groom.

This "Bow Ma Wen" work not to mention, this Chen clan may be a girl's family after all, delicate in mind, very thorough care of this horse, raising the horses one by one fat and strong, this leader saw it, felt that this Xiao Chen worked seriously, worthy of promotion, and promoted her to cavalry.

This northwest is chaotic and chaotic, but this opportunity is also more, this Chen clan is really a material for fighting, and after several years, he has been promoted all the way to the commander by virtue of his military achievements, and he has been named as a titular governor and has also won the title of "Batulu".

This "Baturu" is Manchu, meaning "warrior" or "hero", this is not a title that ordinary people can get, this is to be exchanged for life, so it can be seen that Chen Shi is not an ordinary brave and good fighter on the battlefield. It is not easy for a woman to do the work of a man. The sword and light sword shadow lived and died for a moment, just for a full meal, for that place to live.

However, "full of warm thoughts and lust", now can also be regarded as a success, but there is no home, no husband, after all, it is a girl's family, looking for a lover, this Chen family is inevitably foolish. Then the opportunity came.

See the color of the intention, drunken forced, overlord the bow.

A few years later, Zuo Zongtang was appointed governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and at the same time there was a young man in his twenties named Zhu Qiang, from Anhui, born in Xiucai, who was forced to join the army because of repeated attempts, and was assigned to Chen's troops as a clerical officer. This Zhu Qiang is not only handsome in appearance, but also has a very sweet mouth, which Chen Clan likes very much. Often with him, in and out of pairs.

Or to say that he is good-looking and can be eaten as a meal, this Chen clan is determined to eat this boy, one night about his drinking, through the strength of wine, to Zhu Qiang to explain his identity, and suddenly drew his sword, put it on Zhu Qiang's neck, said: "Never follow, do not follow, die." ”

Zhu Qiang had no choice but to force it, but after discovering that Chen Was still a yellow flower girl, Zhu Qiang changed from passive to active. After that, the two often lived together and slept together at night, and the news about the two gradually spread in the barracks, and privately said that the two had the habit of Longyang, and Zhu Qiang was the male favorite of Chen Tongling, but everyone did not know.

Zhu Qiang also heard these words, but he didn't think it was a big deal, after all, there were patrons, relying on the relationship of the Chen clan, he was now an official and prosperous, so unhappy, ten years of cold window hard reading can not get things, now as long as you sleep with people can get, what is the so-called? It's also enough not to be facetious.

Unexpectedly pregnant, Li Daitao is stiff, and the negative heart is always a reader.

Just when Chen Shi was happy, she suddenly found herself pregnant, this is a thunderbolt on a sunny day, she is not an ordinary girl, but the commander of the first army, pretending to enlist in the army, and now that she is pregnant, this is a major crime to kill the head.

At first, I still wanted to hide it, but my stomach grew bigger day by day, there was always a day of wearing a gang, I wanted to have a hasty abortion, and it was too dangerous, maybe it would kill people, Chen Shi himself thought about going, or found Zhu Qiang to discuss.

After consulting with Zhu Qiang, the two directly found Zuo Zongtang and explained the matter to him, Zuo Zongtang was also surprised, this woman dressed as a man was only seen when watching the singing, how did he run out of a "Mulan" in his army.

At first, Zuo Zongtang still wanted to report this matter to the imperial court, but his staff immediately stopped him and explained: "This matter can be big or small, if the imperial court blames it, it will implicate many people, including you, the adult, now is the autumn of troubles, the border military affairs can not be affected." ”

Zuo Zongtang agreed, and under the operation of his staff, he finally replaced Chen's position and name with Zhu Qiang, and then transferred out of the original unit to serve in the new unit, and became related to The Chen clan. And Chen Shi was her presiding lady. Perfection, everyone rejoices.

However, after a few years, everything changed, the northwest was pacified, Zhu Qiangligong was promoted, his name was restored, and he also married several concubines, only Chen Shi alone guarded his son, and finally sold his property, took his son, left his hometown, and lived in seclusion.

To survive in a chaotic world, I have no choice but to hope that this world will be more peaceful.

The ending of this "Late Qing Mulan" is bleak and helpless. There are too many pains and pains, only she herself knows, she joined the army not for ideals, not for the country, only for herself to survive and survive in that chaotic era. For that mouthful of food, for that place to live.

The beauty and ugliness of appearance is not something she can decide, this is given by God, it should not be too harsh, who does not want to look beautiful and bright? Pursuing the person you love, but by coercive means, this point is really criticized, the so-called twisted melon is not sweet.

And many times, whether in history or in daily life, people will always push a lot of mistakes and responsibilities directly onto women, which is unfair, the bleak ending of "Late Qing Mulan", is not the responsibility of the rulers at that time?

If the world is at peace, who wants to be a beggar? "Late Qing Mulan" also does not have to risk women dressed as men, pretending to enlist in the army, and using their lives to protect their temporary safety.

This "Late Qing Mulan" is a tide maker in the big era, and is the thousands of ordinary people who strive to survive in that era, just like us in the Taiping Era today.
