5 wives and concubines with 20 children

Mr. Peng, the founding marshal of

, once compared the armies of modern warlords. “The Qian Army and the Yunnan Army have two sheep, the Hunan Army is a wolf, and the Guangxi Monkey is the Gui Army, as fierce as a tiger and as evil as a wolf." However, Mr. Peng thought that the Gui army in Guangxi was more brave than the Hunan army.

Unfortunately, the Gui army led by Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi represented a decadent reactionary and anti-people force. It was once a strong enemy of the Red Army and was not commendable. Earlier, in the middle and late nineteenth century, in Qinzhou, Guangxi, an extraordinary hero was born. He was more brave than a tiger, able to fight like a wolf, became famous in the first battle, and lived forever.

he is Feng Zicai .

The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi sent someone to invite an old countryman

(a precious photo left by Feng Zicai)

One day in 1884, in the countryside of Qinzhou, Guangxi, an old man who was not tall and didn't even wear shoes was driving with a shepherd boy. The herd came back. Suddenly a distinguished guest visits at home. The distinguished guest said that he was sent by Lord Zhang, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, to invite the old man to the battlefield to kill the enemy. what? Do you know that the old man is worthy this year? Seven out of sixty. According to the current standards, he has retired long ago, and has been keeping Sun Yi at home.
Can he fight? It turned out that the army of the Qing Dynasty was losing streak in the Vietnam battlefield, and was beaten by the French with no resistance. How to do? If you want to turn the tide, you need an expert. Zhang Shusheng, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi at the time, thought of an expert, Feng Zicai, the 67-year-old man.

Feng Zicai did not agree at first, but the national crisis was at stake and everyone was responsible. He quickly raised his arms, called the old ministry, and rushed to the front. Feng Zicai can fight battles that others can't fight, and Feng Zicai will make things possible if others say it is impossible.

He was born to create miracles. Feng Zicai rushed to the front line of Zhennan Pass at the border of China and France, relying on favorable terrain to build a solid defense system. But the French had guns, and the battle started. Their offensive was very fierce. Z1z Qingjun couldn't stand it and wanted to retreat. Feng Zicai said that it cannot be withdrawn. Once Zhennan Pass is lost, I must fight to the death if I wait to see my father and the villagers!

After talking, Feng Zicai rushed into the enemy camp with a spear and two sons. Brothers in war, father and son soldiers. Feng Zicai is an old man who is almost 70 years old. He carried the coffin and took his son, and rushed forward desperately. The power of the role model is infinite, and the Qing army soldiers rushed to the French army like chicken blood.

"Fighting with husband, courage too". The French army has advanced weapons, but they are afraid of death. They were frightened by Feng Zicai's aura and collapsed thousands of miles away. Feng Zicai not only defended Zhennan Pass, but also took advantage of the victory to recover the lost ground for the Vietnamese. This is the Nanguan Grand Victory of town written in the history textbook. The defeat spread to France, which directly led to the resignation of French Prime Minister Jouféry. To oust a prime minister of a major country, Feng Zicai is probably the first person in China.

Someone may want to ask, Feng Zicai is almost 70, where does such a fierce combat effectiveness come from?

has been suffering since ancient times, living in the rivers and lakes to practice martial arts

are born with all things, there are always some people who have the most aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, they are the elite of mankind. Feng Zicai is like this. According to the "Manuscript of Qing History", Feng Zicai "the trunk does not exceed the middle man." People in Guangxi are generally not tall, and Feng Zicai is even smaller. However, people cannot look at themselves, and sea water cannot be measured. Five generations of Li Cunxiao, who is as thin as a sick seed, can beat tigers. Feng Zicai is the same, he has great strength.

Feng Zicai was born in poverty and his parents died early. His uncle wanted to adopt him as an adopted son to improve his life, but Feng Zicai refused. Because when you are an adopted child, you have to follow their surname. Feng Zicai had ambitions since he was a child. He rejected the kindness of his uncle and lived with his grandmother and brother. After the death of his grandmother, Feng Zicai wandered into the rivers and lakes, but he developed a good martial arts, and dozens of people couldn't get close to him.

is in troubled times, practicing martial arts and joining the army. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was a troubled time. Feng Zicai became a bandit first and then a soldier. He ate the royal government's salary. In the battle with the Taiping Army, he repeatedly made military exploits. After the fall of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Feng Zicai became the admiral of Guangxi.

5 wives and concubines, 20 children, envious of the emperor

(Feng Zicai genealogy)

Many people know Feng ZiThe story of Cai's old age defeating the French invaders and achieving victory in Zhennanguan, but few people know his family. Feng Zicai is a man with very strong vitality. He has 5 wives and concubines in his life, and there are 20 sons and daughters together. The most famous of these are the youngest third Feng Xiangrong and the youngest fifth Feng Xianghua. The two of them went to Zhennanguan with Feng Zicai.

Feng Zicai was a native of the late Qing Dynasty, the emperor of Xianfeng, who was far away in Beijing, was the king of a country. He had three thousand beauties in the harem, but only had three children. The oldest emperor Tongzhi died at the age of 19. Emperor Guangxu who succeeded has no children. There were no crying infants in the three generations of the Qing palace, and the vitality became weaker and weaker, and the monarch of a country, how could he look like a man? Relatively speaking, Feng Zicai, the little old man in Guangxi, was envious of the emperor for his fertility.

(Picture of Feng Zicai's old residence)

I went to visit Feng Zicai's old residence in Qinzhou City, and saw a picture of Feng Zicai in the middle hall. Please note that it is a photo, not a portrait. In that era, very few people could leave a photo of a real person. In the photo, Feng Zicai is standing by the sword, glaring at him, he is magnificent and powerful. Although he is old, he still has the power to pioneer. Only with a strong physique can

have a strong spirit and vigorous combat effectiveness. So Feng Zicai was nearly seventy years old, and was as strong as an ox, turned on his horse, entered the enemy camp, dared to face the powerful French army with well-equipped weapons, and swept thousands of troops.

is 86 years old and is still about to fight

(the statue of Feng Zicai in the old center) How about Feng Zicai after the victory at Nanguan in the town of

? In the first battle at Nanguan in town, Feng Zicai’s prestige is growing. The Vietnamese people are willing to provide food and grass and act as a guide. Ask him to lead his troops to pursue the victory and continue to beat the French army. It is best to drive the French out of Vietnam. The court has no choice but to issue a truce. The troops had to withdraw, which made people sigh. Peng Yulin has a poem: "Huanglong is not allowed to drink, the ancients and moderns make people sad."

Feng Zicai, who returned to the country, made a great contribution. He was awarded the title of Prince Shaobao and the third-class captain of light vehicles. So Feng Zicai's former residence is also called Gong Baodi. In 1894, Feng Zicai was awarded the title of Shangshu. The Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 broke out. The 77-year-old Feng Zicai led his troops northward and stationed in Zhenjiang. It is a pity that Feng Zicai hated the withdrawal of troops after the signing of the Shimonoseki Treaty.

In 1900, the Boxer Movement broke out. Feng Zicai, 83, asked Ying to go north to join the King Qin in Beijing. The court did not approve him because of his advanced age. In 1903, the Revolutionary Party emerged in Guangdong and Guangxi, and the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Cen Chunxuan asked Feng Zicai to come out and suppress it. Feng Zicai at

was 86 years old. Life is rare in the past seventy years. Even if the living conditions and medical conditions are better now, how many people can live to 86? Feng Zicai is really strong. He got up when he heard the news, summoned the old ministry, took his two sons, and was ready to set off again.

is 86 years old, wearing armor, and there is still a battle to go. It is estimated that this is the only case for people like Feng Zicai in ancient and modern times. Unfortunately, Feng Zicai died soon after. People breathed a sigh of relief. In Feng Zicai's old residence, I saw the four characters inscribed by the old general, "Heaven and Earth are righteous". Feng Zicai doesn't know much, but these four characters are magnificent. In his life, it was by adhering to the righteousness of heaven and earth that he played the strongest national voice of that era. The star of Beibu Gulf, Qinzhou
