In ancient and modern China and abroad, war and other things are men charging into the front, while women are in the rear as logisticians. For example, food supply, treatment of the wounded, etc. However, in ancient wars, there were also some strong women occasionally, such as Mulan in China, Joan of Arc in France, and so on. But today's small editor to introduce this female hero from ancient Britain, named Budika. Now let's take a look at this ancient British free female warrior.
Budika was a famous female general in British history, it was not called Britain at that time, there were many Celtic tribes in Britain, and Budika was a female general named the Issini tribe. Budica was born in the heyday of Julius Caesar in Rome, when England was a wilderness and a wild land, an era in which many tribes lived in harmony. As Budika grew up, because of her beautiful eyebrows, he became the queen of the Essini tribe, arguably an early English nobleman. His husband, the king of Essini, was named Prasutagus. During his previous reign, Budika bore the king two daughters, but did not give birth to sons until the king's death, after which no one could inherit the throne.
At this time, Rome came to the island of Britain with a powerful military force, and the disobedient tribes would be destroyed and rule over all sides. At that time, the Romans made a rule that if there was no legal heir to the royal family, then the land and everything of the tribe would belong to Rome. As Empress Budica strongly opposed this provision, she believed that Rome was flouting the authority of her own royal family. At that time, Rome was relatively civilized compared with other countries or tribes, and it was also relatively fair. So Budica, under the threat of the Roman legions, came to Rome himself, hoping to find justice through the Senate. But what she never expected was that the Roman emperor who was in power at that time was nero, the famous tyrant in Roman history. Nero paid no attention to Budika's desire to get justice, and instead blamed Budika and resented Budika.
When Budika returned to his kingdom, the Roman legions also received orders from Nero to directly and forcibly incorporate the lands of Assini into the country and to humiliate the members of Theisini's royal family, meaning to target Budica. Upon receiving the order, the Roman soldiers stormed the palace of Essini, beat Boudicca and raped her two beautiful daughters in front of Budica, who was eventually raped and ravaged herself. Essini's royal property was stripped away, and all minor royal relatives were sold to Rome as slaves.
From this moment on, Budika had already burned the idea of revolt, and she thought that she had to repay this vendetta. During this time of her patience, she was slowly preparing the army and secretly uniting the various tribal forces around her. Just as the Roman legions were once again marching northwest to conquer the other tribes, Budica and the tribes of the British Isles revolted suddenly, and together they attacked Kamrodonu with two-wheeled tactics.
The reason for the uprising from here was that the first main army had already gone out on an expedition, and the combat effectiveness of the city guards left behind was not too high, and the city's defense strength was not taken seriously by the Romans. The rebel soldiers painted themselves with blue paint to make themselves look even more frightening, and this costume successfully intimidated the Roman city guards, who were powerless to resist. The women, on the other hand, prepared in the rear with ox carts and horses, playing an important role in logistics supplies. Some Celtic ladies would wear robes and come to the vicinity of the battlefield, imitating the Celtic Druid priests and cursing the Roman soldiers to intimidate the Romans.
When the Roman legions were victorious in Welsh, they received information about the rebellion in the east. He ordered some of the soldiers to set off light and hurry back, but by then the Roman high command had already fled in a hurry by boat, leaving behind an entire city of Roman citizens.
Over the next three weeks, Budica's rebels numbered as many as 100,000 and launched two other attacks on major cities, one of which was Rantinham, now London. By that time, most of the civilians in Rontinham had been assimilated by the Romans, more than half of whom were Roman citizens, and the Roman legions did not give the order to retreat in time when they hurried back. Budica gave the order to slaughter the city in retaliation for the Romans, and the male civilians were slaughtered at the first time, while the Roman women were raped and trampled to death, just as the Roman soldiers ravaged Budika and her daughter.
By this time, Budica's rebels had destroyed three important Roman cities on the British Isle, and the number of Romans slaughtered and The number of British converts to Rome totaled more than 70,000. But budica's Celtic rebels, like themselves, were blinded by anger and forsaked the harvest of their farming. They once thought they could use the Granary of the Romans for food supplies, but Rome, a country that had been baptized by centuries of war, knew that the first thing to do when retreating was to burn out the grain. Soon the Celtic rebels in Budica began to famine, and budica, as a woman, had difficulty navigating such a mixed army, and the discipline of the army was extremely poor compared to the Roman army. In the end, due to tactical errors, he failed to attack the well-defended military deployment base of Rome. This defeat marked the end of the Budika Uprising, and the army collapsed. The location and timing of this war have always been a mystery, and the historical record does not specify it, only that there was such a war.
After Budica's rebels completely collapsed, she hastily fled to norfolk. Failure was inevitable, and she expected to be brutally trampled to death by the Romans, and she committed suicide by poisoning herself. Budika was the last ruler of the ancient English Essini royal family, and it is said that the wealth of the entire Essini kingdom was buried with her, and the burial site of Budika is still a well-kept secret.
In honor of this legendary woman in British history, the British erected a statue of her in London to commemorate her spirit of fighting with the Celts for freedom, and under the illumination of this spiritual brilliance, she became britain's "Lady Liberty".
