A photo of 1932 exposes Yang Sen's arrogance and indulgence during the Republic of China. In this photo, there are four concubines, Janssen and his wife sitting in the center. In the new era, polygamy was abolished on the mainland, and concubines were no longer supported and allowed to exist, but they were not so particular before. Throughout mainland history until the Republican period, the phenomenon of polygamy still exists, especially in wealthy and powerful families, and Janssen is a typical example.
In history, Janssen's wives and concubines were recorded as a total of twelve, and these twelve women all had a common characteristic, that is, beautiful. Yang Sen marries beautiful women, don't be beautiful if they are not beautiful, and any woman who is favored by Yang Sen can be said to be lucky or unlucky. Fortunately, with Janssen, you can get a better material life, but unfortunately you lose your freedom from now on, and you still have to serve Janssen. When Yang Sen sees a woman, he will try his best to get it home, as long as this woman has no power behind her, he can get back to the mansion through strong means.
Janssen forced the women to marry him, but after they married Janssen, Janssen did not treat them well, and his attitude towards them always changed with his mood, especially towards his sixth concubine. Yang Sen's sixth concubine room is called Chen Shunrong, Chen Shunrong because of his personality, Yang Sen is a little disgusted and disgusted with her, often see her come up and raise his fists. Yang Sen is a warlord, the fist has strength, Chen Shunrong a woman naturally can't afford him to beat him for a long time, and finally under the dual oppression of body and psychology, Chen Shunrong became insane and became crazy.
These twelve wives and concubines not only had to accept the mental pressure from Janssen, but also had to follow the rules set by Janssen, I don't know if it was Janssen's special proclivities or some other reason, Janssen implemented militarized management of his wives and concubines. He asked his wife and concubine to get up at five o'clock to run with him, and asked them to go out every morning to exercise and exercise like the soldiers under them. At the same time, Janssen will supervise their housework every day, requiring the interior to be neat and clean, the quilt is folded into the same tofu cubes as in the soldiers' camp, and after the inspection, they will be arranged to produce tasks.
When Yang Sen's concubine room can be described as miserable, the concubine rooms of other rich families are comfortable, but Yang Sen's family has to accept various management, which also shows Yang Sen's strong desire to control. Janssen's wives and concubines were not allowed to step out of the inner house in addition to being militarized every day, and Janssen restricted their freedom of life, forbade them to contact the outside world, especially forbade them to contact other men other than themselves, Janssen's practice completely regarded his wives and concubines as his own personal belongings, and did not give them the respect they deserved as human beings at all.
Yang Sen imprisoned his wives and concubines in the inner mansion, raised them like chickens, ducks and dogs, and teased them when he was happy, and if he was unhappy, he would fight each other. Janssen's wives and concubines have all been more or less abused by Janssen himself, except for one, the woman on the far right in the photo, this woman is young and beautiful, Janssen's youngest wife, that is, his twelfth room. Yang Sen's twelfth concubine was Zhang Yuzhen, she was seventeen years old, and she was the only one of Yang Sen's many wives and concubines who had not been abused by him.
Perhaps it was her youthful appearance that hooked Janssen, or maybe Janssen liked her likable character, and she became the only lucky one who was not abused. A tree of pear flowers presses begonias, the old cow picks tender grass to eat, and not suffering abuse is a little luck in Zhang Yuzhen's unfortunate life, seventeen-year-old Zhang Yuzhen married ninety-year-old Yang Sen, which is a great misfortune for Zhang Yuzhen. Janssen had a chaotic lifestyle, and he did not know how to respect others despite his power, but he lived his life extremely freely.
Janssen lived to be 93 years old, and his wife and concubine bore him 43 children, and he couldn't even recognize which of his own children was, but it didn't matter to him, what mattered was that he was at ease in this life and lived a long life. When Yang Sen was alive, he was naturally comfortable, but after he died, not many people went to pay homage to him, and even his relatives and clansmen came to attend the funeral. It can be seen that Yang Sen's popularity is not good, not only in the treatment of his wife and concubines, but also in the treatment of other people, he has not done a good job, and at the end of his life, he does not even miss and regret his people.
Janssen's approach can be accepted in the past, and in modern times, spit stars can drown him, which is a constraint given to people by the progress of the times, and it is also a clear boundary drawn by morality and ethics. Yang Sen is at ease in this life but absurd, in his world map, he is the king of the world, can do what he likes at will, wantonly trample on the dignity and life of others, so that there is not even a person to commemorate him later.
