Duan Qirui, the leader of the Anhui warlords, a famous politician during the Republic of China period, one of the "Three Masters of Beiyang", nicknamed "Tiger of Beiyang". Duan Qirui once helped Yuan Shikai train troops at the Tianjin Small Station, and was deeply trusted and relied on by Yuan Shikai. After Yuan Shikai's death, Duan Qirui single-handedly took over the internal and foreign affairs of the Beiyang government and became a famous and famous figure.
During the reign of the Beiyang warlords, the ebb and flow of tides, various farces, ugly dramas, tragedies, etc. were endless, but Duan Qirui was an exception. Duan Qirui has very high requirements for himself, known as the "six noes", that is, he does not embezzle and enrich himself, does not sell official titles, does not smoke big cigarettes, does not drink alcohol, does not prostitute himself, and does not gamble money.
During the Republic of China period, it was normal for many powerful people to have three wives and four concubines, and the same was true for Duan Qirui. Duan Qirui married two wives and five aunts successively. In the fifteenth year of the Republic of China (1926), Duan Qirui was ousted by Feng Yuxiang and forced to go to the wilderness and live in the Tianjin Concession.
As mentioned earlier, Duan Qirui is strict with himself, especially hating that someone in the family smokes a lot. But what made Duan Qirui depressed was that he had obtained his aunt and wife to secretly smoke a big cigarette behind his back. After Duan Qirui went to the wilderness, such a thing happened, the fourth aunt was too red apricot out of the wall, which was unbearable for any man, but Duan Qirui's handling was unexpected.
The course of events was that after Duan Qirui left the wilderness, he lived in the residence of his subordinate Wei Zonghan on Xumo Street in the Japanese Concession of Tianjin. The following year, at the invitation of Tanaka Yu, a subordinate of the Anhui clan, he brought the second wife and the second aunt to Dalian for convalescence.
This means that Duan Qirui's aunt and wife who stayed at home have no restraints, and as a result, the aunts and wives dressed up every day and went to participate in various dances, movies, games, etc., four tricks of bees to attract butterflies, making the home smoke miasma, often in the middle of the night to go home.
After Duan Qirui returned from convalescence, he found that the atmosphere in his home was strange, and people often whispered. Especially the young fourth aunt often avoided him, as if there was some ulterior secret. One day in the middle of the night, Duan Qirui couldn't sleep, and a person came to the courtyard for a walk, just in time to bump into the fourth aunt returning from outside.
Duan Qirui's eyeballs almost fell, and his fourth aunt was dressed like a singer. Why is that? It turned out that before the fourth aunt became Duan Qirui's wife, there were good people, and after becoming an aunt's wife, the two often met privately. Duan Qirui's next approach was praised by the woman at the time, making the man sigh.
After Duan Qirui learned the truth, instead of reprimanding the fourth aunt, he let the second wife Zhang Shi complete the marriage between the fourth aunt and the person she loved. The story of Duan Qirui becoming a full aunt became a beautiful talk at that time. What do you think of Duan Qirui's approach, welcome to leave a message below.
