If a man wants to take a concubine, what strange reason do you think he will have?
The warlord Janssen had a lot of say in this, he married 12 wives in his lifetime, all of whom were young girls under the age of 18, and finally the 12th aunt was married when he was 90 years old, and the concubine he married was only 17 years old.
Why do you keep taking concubines and marrying so many wives?
Janssen has his own strange and shameless reasons: "I am a person who loves to move forward, so as the times move forward, I will continue to take new concubines."
My concubines have small feet, semi-big feet, big feet, illiterate, literate, elementary school students, middle school students, and college students.
Besides, they all had their own children, and no one was taking care of me, so I had to find another one.
The last reason is that I like to move forward, and of course I like to be with young people, so that I can be energetic! ”
Under such a perverse reasoning, he successively married 12 wives, but these beautiful concubines who bore children for him and dedicated their youth to him had a very bad ending, and could even be said to be miserable, dead, crazy.
The last concubine once asked him a question when he was sick in bed in his later years: You have married so many wives, how many of them are willing to follow you?
The dying Yang Sen thought for a while, his look was obscure, it seemed to be confirming one by one, for a long time, his expression was a little bitter, but finally there was a hint of clarity in his eyes, he did not speak, but from his expression, the concubine also knew the answer.
Among these wives, there are really those who are willing to follow Janssen, who is it?
With so many wives, how did he manage them?
They had children for him and followed him, so why did they end up so tragically?
Forced to marry twelve concubines
Among the Kuomintang generals, Yang Sen was famous for having many wives and concubines and many children, and he had 12 wives in his lifetime, one original match, one successor, and 10 concubines in the back.
He has a total of 43 children, I am afraid that he himself can not recognize the children, but the irony is that during his political career, he also vigorously advocated women's liberation, and was despised by the common people, and privately felt ashamed of his absurd behavior.
Yang Sen's first wife was Zhang Shi, at this time, Yang Sen was just in his early 20s, not famous, his father was just a small military attaché, he entered the Sichuan Army Accelerated School in 1908.
According to the words of his parents, he married Zhang Shi under the arrangement of his parents, zhang shi was a completely feudal woman, wrapped in small feet, not open, did not enter a new-style school, only knew to serve her husband and in-laws at home.
Compared with the dozen concubines that Yang Sen married one after another, this Zhang clan really had no characteristics, but because he was Yang Sen's first wife, it was still unusual in his heart.
To put it bluntly, at this time, Yang Sen's nameless, moneyless and powerless men are generally honest, and every time he returns from the academy, he and Zhang Get along very harmoniously.
It looked very happy, but Zhang Shi did not know whether he was in poor health or overwork, and he died because of a very ordinary wind chill.
After Zhang's death, his parents began to find the next wife for their son non-stop, although Yang Sen was still very sad in his heart, but he felt that it was only a matter of time to continue to marry his wife, so he was no longer awkward and let his parents find it.
It is a pity that the Zhang family has worked so much for their family, but has not left any children.
The second wife his parents found for Yang Sen was Tan Zhengde, also a feudal woman, who gave birth to a son and a daughter for Yang Sen after marriage, but Yang Sen had no feelings for her.
He may still remember Zhang In his heart, so he doesn't have a good look for Tan Zhengde.
From our point of view, this is very unfair to Tan Zhengde, since you marry home, you should treat others well, marry back home and give birth to you, and engage in cold violence, which is really chilling.
After Yang Sen joined the army, his career gradually improved, the number of times he returned home was very small, tan Zhengde himself lived his own life at home, although he was sad, but fortunately, he did not have to see him come back to be angry.
Yang Sen's third aunt was Liu Gufang, in 1913, Yang Sen came to Kunming on official business, and the general of the Dian Army, Huang Yucheng, sent Yang Sen to supervise his villa construction work, and when he arrived there, Liu Zhuqing, the leader of the villa, took a fancy to Yang Sen.
He saw that Yang Sen was good-looking, physically strong, and would come to things, favored by the chief, and wanted to come to a bright future, so he pondered marrying his daughter to him, and Yang Sen concealed the fact that he had a family, so he married Liu Gufang.
At first, he pampered Liu Gufang for a while, but when the fresh energy passed, he became cold to her, and Liu Gufang saw that he had married a room and a room of aunts, and his heart was depressed, and he died after contracting lung disease.
After the establishment of the Republic of China, Yang Sen successively served in the Sichuan Army and the Yunnan Army, but Yang Sen was a Sichuanese after all, and after careful consideration, he still went to Sichuan with Zhao Youxin, and since then he has concentrated on the development of the Sichuan Army.
Once, on the street, he saw the beautiful Tian Hengqiu, and was immediately attracted by her beauty, and immediately went to the Tian family to ask to marry Tian Hengqiu.
At that time, Tian Hengqiu already had a marriage contract, and was happily waiting to be married, who knew that a Yang Sen jumped out halfway.
The Tian family is very well-off, the daughter has also set up a family, the future and the days of Hemei, but no one is willing to marry Yang Sen as a concubine, but Yang Sen relies on his own influence to maliciously suppress the Tian family's business, and finally forces Tian Hengqiu to marry himself.
Tian Hengqiu feels that things have come to this point, it is better to live well in the moment, she takes care of housework well, and generously helps Yang Sen marry back many women, Yang Sen is very happy, attaches great importance to Tian Hengqiu, and what activities come and go also take her.
But Tian Hengqiu suddenly suffered from cerebral hemorrhage, physical paralysis, incomplete speech, and sometimes drooling, Yang Sen saw that he no longer liked her, and abandoned her like a foot.
Yang Sen married several wives, and his subordinates all knew that he was lustful, and some of them took the initiative to give his daughter to him as a concubine in order to curry favor with him.
When Yang Sen was stationed in Luzhou with the Dian army, his mansion was adjacent to the Xiao family, and his secretary had a daughter named Xiao Bangqiong, he had seen this little girl, she was still young at that time, and he didn't see anything special.
Later, after he returned to Sichuan Army, he once met Chopin Qiong, and Yang Sen praised: "This girl is now so old and looks good." ”
A subordinate Xiong Mou heard his unspoken meaning and encouraged the Xiao family to marry their daughter to Yang Sen.
This fifth aunt, Chopin Joan, was both talented and beautiful, had been a teacher, and had literary talent to do poetry, and Janssen did like her for a while, but in 1931, Chopin Joan drowned while riding a steamship.
Janssen was very sad for a while, because he felt that he still liked this fifth aunt's wife, and once after drinking, he saw a person who was very similar to Chopin Joan's back, and raped her regardless of it.
Later, it was found that she was a maid in the family, although her appearance was average, but the good villain had a relationship with her, so he took her as the sixth aunt, anyway, one more concubine and one less concubine was no different to him.
This sixth aunt is Chen Shunrong, because she is from a squire, she is more afraid of doing things, Yang Sen can't look at her, and he can't move to beat her out of anger.
Under the long-term torture, Chen Shunrong was driven crazy and later thrown into his hometown in Guang'an.
Seventh aunt Zeng Guizhi is Yang Sen's adopted daughter, after raising her, she looks more and more beautiful, and then she has a mind, forced her to be a concubine, she wants to study, Yang Sen hired a tutor for her, and also sent her to Shanghai to go to university.
The seventh aunt was too young and beautiful, and in the school he fell in love with a man surnamed Chen, and after Yang Sen knew about it, he was furious and wanted to kill Zeng Guizhi and set an example for the other aunts, so he ordered his subordinates to kill the two and tie her to the man's body together Chen Tang.
Later, people named the bridge on the river "Bitter Mandarin Duck Bridge".
The eighth aunt is Wang Defang, she married Yang Sen because she fell into a trap, and one of Yang Sen's subordinates set a trap for him to force the Wang family to marry their daughter to Yang Sen.
Wang Defang was only 15 years old when she married him, bore him children after marriage, and continued to study at Guang'an Middle School, but she was extremely disgusted by Yang Sen's robbery, did not give him a good face, and later committed suicide for various reasons.
The ninth aunt was Cai Wenna, known as the "school flower" when she was in middle school, and was sent to Yang Sen's mansion to live with him at the age of 14, when she did not understand anything, and Yang Sen had a relationship with her.
Later, when she was studying in the Sociology Department of West China University, she fell in love with a male classmate, and after Being known by Janssen, she foolishly begged him to divorce her, let her leave, and let her find her own life.
How could Janssen let her go, not only would he not let her go, but he was also ready to use her to shock the other aunts and wives and warn them not to have any different intentions.
One night, when Cai Wenna went back to her room to prepare for bed, Janssen's subordinates came in with guns and shot her.
Janssen also ordered the other aunts and wives to come and see her death, and one by one they were frightened and trembling.
Cai Wenna's body was thrown randomly in a dry well.
The tenth aunt was Zheng Wenru, who was also deceived. A person in The Yang Sen Military Medical Department was a distant relative of Zheng Wenru, and when he saw that she looked good, he tricked her into going to the Yang Sen Mansion, and as soon as Yang Sen saw the beautiful Zheng Wenru, he took a concubine with the same room that night.
Later, she fell ill and her face was haggard, and Yang Sen saw it and abandoned it to find a new joy.
The eleventh aunt is Hu Jieyu, the daughter of the old servant of yang Sen's family, thirteen or fourteen-year-old Hu Jieyu came to Chongqing to study, living in Yang Sen's house, Yang Sen, who is more than 60 years old, saw this teenage girl and thought again, and had to take a concubine.
Father Hu disagreed and took his daughter back to his hometown, Yang Sen chased after the soft and hard and forced him to come in, and Father Hu was not lightly angry and went out to find a way out.
With the affair of the above two aunts and wives, Yang Sen also learned a lesson and was relatively good for Hu Jieyu.
Later, Yang Sen followed the Kuomintang to Taiwan, where he was highly valued by Chiang Kai-shek.
When he was 90 years old, he took another room of concubines, and his twelve aunts were a young girl who was only 17 years old, and the two were now like grandchildren together.
The way to manage the "harem"
Yang Sen was a sentimental person, so he did not have a deep affection for anyone, and he took turns to stay between more than a dozen wives.
In order to let his concubines serve themselves well, he set an incentive policy for them, if any concubine is pregnant, he will give 5,000 yuan of living expenses, and if he gives birth to a child for himself, he will deposit a bonus of 20,000 yuan into the concubine's bank account.
This money was quite a lot at the time, so for this bonus, many concubines worked hard to have children for him, so in the end Yang Sen had 43 children.
Although Janssen himself is affectionate, he is very strict with his concubines, and he wants them to live a life of pure heart, and many entertainment activities such as polo, watching movies, drinking coffee, and so on are not allowed.
Once he found out that a concubine was having an affair outside, he would mercilessly kill the concubine and the man outside.
These concubines in the family are not "people" in his eyes, but an object, and he can send, grab, beat, and scold at will.
He pays great attention to his physical health, even if he is more than 70 years old, he still insists on exercising every morning, and the young concubines have to get up at 5 o'clock in the morning to accompany him to play tennis and ride horses, and the other concubines have to watch from the sidelines if they do not participate.
He would also ask them to learn ancient Chinese, play the piano, learn English, etc., and if they did not do well or if he was not satisfied, he would beat them and scold them at every turn, he called this "full of red", let all the concubines kneel on the ground, and he took turns beating them with a whip.
For example, when he married Zheng Wenru, because Zheng Wenru was very young, he became his aunt at the age of 17, and many of his children were older than Zheng Wenru, and they did not want to call her "Zheng Ma", so they all called her Miss Zheng.
Janssen felt that this was the children's disobedience to himself, and he did not allow anyone to disobey his orders, so he let all the children kneel on the ground and call Zheng Wenru "Zheng Ma", and if they did not call, they would take a whip and smoke them.
Janssen would let these concubines take turns managing the affairs of the palace, but only the affairs of the exchanges, not the management of money, he did not trust anyone, he hoarded a lot of money himself, but it was all in foreign banks.
When he followed the Kuomintang to Taiwan, Yang Sen only took the youngest concubine Hu Jieyu, and the other concubines did not bring any of them, allowing them to fend for themselves, perhaps because Hu Jieyu was still young, he was not tired of playing, so he chose to take her with him, and when he was in Taiwan, he took a 17-year-old concubine, which shows his abusive feelings.
In his later years, Zhang Lingfeng asked him: Which concubines are willing to follow him?
He pondered for a long time without speaking, maybe among these dozen concubines, only his original wife Zhang Shi really treated him, who let him only treat them as playthings, sincerely for the heart, what did he pay?
