Yang Sen, a Sichuan warlord during the Republic of China, left the mainland and fled to Taiwan in December 1949. He died in Taiwan due to lung cancer in 1977. He was born in 1884 and lived a long 93 years, which is already a very old age. When people sum up his life, the biggest "highlight" is probably that he loves to marry wives and has many wives and concubines. He may be the person with the most wives in the army, but why does he marry so many wives? A question that has never been clarified.

Although it has not been explained clearly, and of course it will not be included in "One Hundred Thousand Whys", why some people want to marry wives, and why some people like to marry so many wives, is indeed worthy of study.

Yang Sen has publicly married 12 wives in his life. He proudly calls them the "Twelve Beauties of the Yang Family". We are here to work hard to make a list for his "them":

No. 1: Zhang Shi.

No. 2: Tan Zhengde.

No. 3: Liu Gufang.

No. 4: Tian Hengqiu.

No. 5: Chopard Joan.

No. 6: Chen Shunrong.

No. 7: Zeng Guizhi.

No. 8: Wang Defang.

No. 9: Cai Wenna.

No. 10: Zheng Wenru.

No. 11: Hu Jieyu.

No. 12: Zhang Lingfeng.

Let us start with the last Zhang Lingfeng. Yang Sen was already 90 years old when he married Zhang Lingfeng. At that time, he bought a mountain in Daoziyuan, Xindian Town, Taipei County, built a villa, and spent his later years here. He was 90 years old, too old. He celebrated his 90th birthday with dignity and dignity. When his old friends came to congratulate him, he said to his old friends: "I still like to be with young people!" Someone ridiculed him: "Then, you marry another one!" Unexpectedly, he took his words seriously, and a few days later he actually married another one, and the person he married was Zhang Lingfeng. A native of Hsinchu, Taiwan, he was only 17 years old at the time.

It is impossible for a 17-year-old girl to marry a 90-year-old man willingly. Yang Sen used some tricks here. He told the outside world that he wanted to recruit a "secretary" and recruited Zhang Lingfeng, who became the last one in his life. Wife. It is said that on the night of the wedding, Zhang Lingfeng asked Yang Sen: "Why do you marry so many wives?" Yang Sen couldn't answer, and Zhang Lingfeng kept shaking her head. But it was the woman who shook her head who gave birth to a child for Yang Sen a year later. daughter. A 90-year-old man can still have a daughter after getting married. Although he couldn't answer the "why" asked by his wife, it can be regarded as a miracle in the world.

A few years later, Yang Sen passed away. I don’t know what happened to Zhang Lingfeng and Yang Sen’s last daughter today, but the person who can prove that Yang Sen loves his wife and has very strong fertility is Yang Sen’s 11th wife Hu Jieyu. Yang Sen was in his 60s when he married Hu Jieyu, who was only 14 years old. Hu Jieyu was a good-looking woman, and her father was a servant of the Yang family. In order to make it easier for his daughter to go to school, Hu's father took his daughter to live with him in the Yang family. Unexpectedly, he was targeted by Yang Sen.

Father Hu felt that it was an insult to him that a 60-year-old man married his 10-year-old daughter, so he left the Yang family in a rage without knowing where he was. After Yang Sen and Hu Jieyu got married, Hu Jieyu never had children. The outside world thought this was normal. After all, Yang Sen was getting older. But what is eye-opening is that when Yang Sen was 86 years old, Hu Jieyu gave birth to a daughter for him. Look, Yang Sen is really "a treasured sword never grows old".

Hu Jieyu later took her daughter to study in the United States and settled in the United States. Although she did not ask Yang Sen why he married so many wives like Zhang Lingfeng, it was not easy for a woman to live with her daughter in a foreign country, and this question will be obvious. The ground spiraled from her heart, but no one answered her. So, why did Yang Sen marry so many wives? Let us analyze it bit by bit through Yang Sen and Yang Sen’s wives.

Let’s first talk about the problem of having too many wives and it is difficult to manage them.Yang Sen's 12 wives used to be a headache for Yang Sen. In order to prevent the wives from being jealous, Yang Sen started with himself, that is, he usually stayed with each wife for three or four days, and there were not many of them. , everyone takes turns, reflecting "fairness"; on the other hand, Yang Sen started with the wives, that is, implementing military management on them, handing them over to the adjutant, and making them perform drills like soldiers every day, Then go to class.

People today can imagine that with the whistle blowing in the early morning and the adjutant calling out for exercise, Yang Sen's wives went out to the playground one by one with their belts tied up, and then were trained left and right for a while and then exercised. Then pack up, have some breakfast, and start class. Those who learn piano will learn piano, and those who practice calligraphy and painting will practice calligraphy and painting. In the end, they have to sign in and accept assessments, and no one should be missing, otherwise it will affect Yang Sen’s ability to give them every lesson. The monthly "salary" and "funds" of 5,000 yuan per person are distributed.

12 women are managed in such a militarized manner. It can be said to be an intensive class for female soldiers. Yang Sen's adjutant trains them every day and they are very impressive, but the problem arises here - they are not female soldiers. , it's not an intensive class, they are all Yang Sen's wives, and they all stare at Yang Sen all day long, which makes Yang Sen have more "things". Therefore, here comes the second issue we are talking about - the issue of further strengthening management. How to strengthen

? Yang Sen discovered a social problem at that time - whenever an officer's wife encountered problems such as cheating, most of them were because of dancing with other men. Therefore, Yang Sen summed up this "famous saying": "You can only dance with other people's aunts and daughters, and your own aunts and daughters must not dance with others." This is very "smart" and clearly comes from the "source" It has eliminated the problem of wives cheating because of dancing, but management is a big problem. It is impossible to move to a new level just because of this discovery and conclusion. At least two of Yang Sen's wives ended up having accidents because of dancing.

The first place is Yang Sen’s 7th wife Zeng Guizhi. A native of Bijie, Guizhou, it is said that Yang Sen picked it up on the road. Yang Sen gave her to his colleague Zou Biguang to take care of her. When she grew up, Zou Biguang sent her back to the Yang family to be a girl to Yang Sen's third wife Liu Gufang. He also gave her a name named Yang - Yang Jiagui. . When Yang Jiagui was 14 years old, Yang Sen came to Liu Gufang one day and found that Yang Jiagui was pretty and beautiful, so he raped Yang Jiagui.

In 1923, Yang Jiagui was adopted by Yang Sen as his concubine. After that, she was sent to Shanghai, Tianjin and other places to study, so she got the name Zeng Guizhi. In Shanghai, Zeng Guizhi quickly fell in love with outings and dancing. She also got along well with the male and female classmates in the class and often played together. Yang Sen was a little worried about Zeng Guizhi and sent someone to keep an eye on him. Sure enough, after a while, the person who was sent came back and reported that Zeng Guizhi often flirted with a tall male classmate in the class, and even hugged and danced together.

Yang Sen was very angry when he heard this and called Zeng Guizhi back to Sichuan. However, Zeng Guizhi's people came back, but his heart did not come back. When she returned to Sichuan, she brought some photos with her classmates, including the tall male classmate, and she never forgot to write a letter to the tall male classmate. Yang Sen secretly saw Zeng Guizhi's photo, as well as her letter to the male classmate and the letter from the male classmate. He became even more angry and asked someone to send a message to the male classmate, saying that he was invited to come to Sichuan and asked him to be his teacher. A director of education or something.

The male classmate thought this was a good thing and came, but he did not expect that Yang Sen would take him to the river and, together with his nephew Yang Hanyin and Xiao Shoumei, the younger brother of No. 5 Xiao Bangqiong, pick off the male student. He took off his classmate's clothes and shot him three times. When he saw that he was dead, he tied him to a stone and threw him into the river to feed the fish. When he came, he probably wanted to be the chief of the government, so he had time to look decent and wear a suit. Suits were still a rare commodity in those days, so Yang Sen "rewarded" his suit to Xiao Shoumei.After dealing with these matters, Yang Sen went home and happily slept with Zeng Guizhi. After they were happy, he began to question Zeng Guizhi if he had a story with the male classmate. Zeng Guizhi refused to admit it and said it was a misunderstanding. Yang Sen didn't say anything, but there was a shadow in his heart, and he eventually killed Zeng Guizhi, who had given birth to two children for him.

This happened around 1930. From then on, Yang Sen stipulated that his wife would not dance with other men. As the saying goes, killing a chicken to show the monkey means punishing one person in order to warn and intimidate some people, so as to serve as an example to others. Yang Sen used this method of "killing the chicken to scare the monkey" to intimidate his other wives and make them behave honestly, so as to improve his "management level". However, what Yang Sen did not expect was that it would be difficult to scare everyone with this method. Among his wives, there would always be someone who would "stand up" behind Zeng Guizhi.

Yang Sen’s ninth wife, Cai Wenna, is naturally beautiful and charming. After marriage, she was deeply favored by Yang Sen. Like Zeng Guizhi, in addition to receiving military-style management, Yang Sen also sent her to school, making her a worldly person. Yang Sen often took her to large events, attracting the envy of everyone, and was greatly satisfied. Yang Sen’s vanity. But this Cai Wenna was very disobedient to Yang Sen's "management". When she was in middle school, she had a "good" relationship with her foreign language teacher. Yang Sen asked her to go home and prepared to execute her, but she could not withstand the pleas of many people. He whipped her and left her alive.

It stands to reason that Cai Wenna would restrain herself from this, but when she went to college, she clearly forgot about the pain of whiplash and became "good" with one of her classmates. What’s a “good” method? Cai Wenna thought, didn't you Yang Sen not allow your wife to dance with others? Then I stopped dancing and switched to playing tennis and listening to music. As a result, I had a relationship with Lu Mingde, a male classmate from the dental school. The two agreed to go abroad together without Yang Sen. But it happened that at that time, Yang Sen called Cai Wenna back and looked at Cai Wenna carefully. Yang Sen found that the big diamond ring he gave to Cai Wenna was gone, and he darkened his face to question her.

Cai Wenna is a strong person, and she has a no-nonsense attitude and has a showdown with Yang Sen: "Giving it away!" "Giving it to whom?" "Give it to my best friend!" Yang Sen was extremely angry, but it was obvious that he was doing this When he encountered a situation where he was stunned, he obviously couldn't do anything to Cai Wenna. After leaving with anger in his collar, he made such arrangements for Cai Wenna's life ending - he asked one of his men to sneak into Cai Wenna's room and shoot her. He beat him to death and threw his body into a dry well.

It is said that the subordinate came to Cai Wenna's room at night. Cai Wenna had just gone to bed when she saw a man with a gun "appear" in the room. She was somewhat panicked and said, "What are you going to do?" The subordinate said nothing and pointed at her. Fired twice. After her death, Yang Sen wanted to "eliminate the roots" and sent people to hunt down Lu Mingde, who was "good" with her. However, after hearing the news, Lu Mingde had already fled abroad, and Yang Sen's people did not pursue her.

Having said this, some people may say that family is a process of management, management and re-management. Yang Sen married wives one by one just to improve his management level. But behind this is Yang Sen's lustful and greedy human nature. We have a general understanding of the endings of Yang Sen except the above two wives, including those who were "sent" to his door by his own parents. This question may be able to answer the question from the side as to why Yang Sen has a series of wives in his life. The problem of constantly getting a wife.

Let’s start with the 1st Mr. Zhang.

Zhang is Yang Sen’s married wife. When she met Yang Sen, Yang Sen had not yet made a fortune and was still one of those people who could not be found in the crowd. The two parties arranged the marriage in accordance with "the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker." Maybe it was Yang Sen's first marriage, and he didn't know what the colorful world outside was like. His relationship with Zhang was very good, and it felt like not seeing him for one day was like three autumns apart. Zhang is also very gentle and virtuous. She takes care of Yang Sen's parents and underage brothers and sisters. The family lives a warm and happy life.However, good people don't live long. Just after Yang Sen was admitted to the Chengdu Army Crash Course, Zhang died of a sudden illness.

No. 2 Tan Zhengde. In 1908, when Yang Sen returned to his hometown after graduating from the military academy, his parents told him, "There are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is not having children." They asked him to "continue his marriage" and hired Tan Zhengde from his hometown in Guang'an to fill in his house. Tan gave birth to her eldest son and daughter, allowing Yang Sen to have children. However, after Yang Sen had a group of wives and concubines, she was gradually left out and guarded the house in her hometown in Guang'an alone until her death in 1976. Each of them lived alone for 92 years.

No. 3 Liu Gufang means something like "giving away". She is from Lufeng, Yunnan. In 1913, Yang Sen mingled with the Yunnan Army and supervised the construction of a villa in Tianning Hot Spring in Kunming in order to curry favor with the leader. Liu Gufang's father, Liu Zhuqing, was also on the construction site at the time. He was roughly equivalent to what we call a small foreman today. He felt that Yang Sen had a strong military temperament. If he followed him, he might have a different world in the future. what to do? After much deliberation, Liu Zhuqing decided to marry his daughter Liu Gufang to Yang Sen, and approach Yang Sen as his father-in-law to gain opportunities for promotion and wealth. Later, Yang Sen really prospered, and Liu Zhuqing successively served as the director of the Twentieth Army's Wuhan and Chengdu offices and the representative of the army commander. However, Liu Gufang died of lung disease during the war against Japan.

No. 4 Tian Hengqiu is the daughter of a wealthy local family in Langzhong, Sichuan. The family is rich, educated and well-educated, and her appearance is of course not mentioned. When Yang Sen was stationed at Langzhong , he was riding a tall horse. When he saw Tian Hengqiu coming towards him, his eyes suddenly straightened. Afterwards, Yang Sen dismounted and followed Tian Hengqiu to the Tian family. He remembered the Tian family's residence and struck while the iron was hot to find someone to propose marriage. At that time, Yang Sen's position in the military was not high, and he was still a man who had been married several times. The Tian family refused, but Yang Sen did not give up. He used hard and soft tactics, which made the Tian family uneasy, and finally reluctantly married Tian Hengqiu to Yang Sen.

To be fair, Yang Sen was pretty good to this wife in his early days. Apart from her appearance, Tian Hengqiu came from a business family and was good at managing money and doing "business", and accumulated a lot of wealth for Yang Sen. Because of this, Tian Hengqiu fled to Taiwan in 1949 with the wealth that Yang Sen had accumulated over the years, which showed Yang Sen's trust in her. However, just a few years after living in Taiwan, Tian Hengqiu suffered from hemiplegia due to a cerebral hemorrhage. He was ignored by Yang Sen and had to go to Hong Kong to rely on the support of his daughters, where he spent the rest of his 12 painful years.

No. 5 Chopard Joan cannot be said to have been "sent", but it somewhat means "sent". Xiaobangqiong's father was Yang Sen's secretary and took his daughter with him when he was very young. Once, Yang Sen held a banquet, and Xiao's father took his daughter to attend. As a result, Yang Sen's eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Bangqiong. He touched Xiao Bangqiong's head and kept praising: "She's so beautiful...I haven't seen you for a few years, and she has grown so big..." Father Xiao knew full well that soon Tian then married his daughter to Yang Sen. It is said that compared with Tian Hengqiu, Xiao Bangqiong was better at figuring out Yang Sen's thoughts and was more feminine. However, this was the woman who made Yang Sen extremely happy, but she drowned in a boat in 1931. .

No. 6 Chen Shunrong is a Guangdong woman who was Liu Gufang’s personal maid. She got her from Yang Sen after he had drunken sex. Once, Yang Sen got drunk and came to see Liu Gufang, mistaking Chen Shunrong for Liu Gufang and raping her. Liu Gufang was cowardly by nature, timid in doing things, and often failed to bring herself to the forefront. Although Yang Sen accepted her as his concubine, he disliked her very much. He even hated her when he saw her, and would whip her if he disliked her. As a result, Yang Sen quickly turned Chen Shunrong into a lunatic. He was tied up in chains and sent back to the countryside of Guang'an, where he lived a life without hope. After liberation, Chen Shunrong died of illness in Chongqing.

No. 8 Wang Defang is from Chengdu. His father, like Chopin Joan’s father, was Yang Sen’s secretary. The daughter grew up and was radiant, but Wang's father was surrounded by a group of villains. After the gang's forcible negotiation, Wang's father was forced to marry his daughter to Yang Sen. At that time, Wang Defang was only 15 years old. Like No. 7 Zeng Guizhi and No. 9 Cai Wenna, after marriage, Wang Defang was sent to Shanghai and other places by Yang Sen to study.Although Wang Defang returned to Chengdu after completing his studies, his relationship with Yang Sen was as good as ice. He became a socialite in his own right. In the end, he boldly broke up with Yang Sen and even changed the surname of his child with Yang Sen to Wang.

No. 10 Zheng Wenru was also "sent" here. She was an ordinary female worker in the factory, but her fate changed because she was related to a medical officer under Yang Sen. When the medical officer heard that Yang Sen wanted to take a concubine, he immediately thought of Zheng Wenru. By doing the work of Zheng Wenru's parents, Zheng Wenru was dressed up carefully and sent to Yang Sen. Yang Sen was very happy and promoted Zheng Wenru to a medical officer. From then on, Zheng Wenru, who was only 17 years old, was taken by Yang Sen and was inseparable. However, what happened later was unfortunate. Zheng Wenru suffered from lung disease and his appearance changed drastically, so he was abandoned by Yang Sen. In 1949, Zheng Wenru stayed in Chongqing and remarried an ordinary worker.

So far, we have introduced Yang Sen's wives one by one, and the question of why Yang Sen wants to marry them one after another is also very clear - it is just to make the women around him young and beautiful forever. We don't know if this is a common mentality among men, but it is absurdly deformed, shameless and ruthless by Yang Sen.

However, why couldn’t Yang Sen answer the question of his last wife, Zhang Lingfeng? Suddenly, we noticed something like this: after Yang Sen's first wife Zhang died of a sudden illness, Yang Sen was very sad because he lost his wife when he was young. Until he became successful, he asked his wife's brother Zhang Yuanpei to come to the army. He became a "quartermaster" as a way to commemorate and compensate for his deceased wife, but in the subsequent concubines, Yang Sen apparently forgot about this.

Those who have cultivated for thousands of years can cross the same boat, and those who have cultivated for ten thousand years can sleep together on the same pillow. For two people to come together, in addition to fate, they should also have a sense of gratitude for living together. Especially when a husband treats his wife, he should have this kind of heart. But Yang Sen has clearly forgotten all of this in his heart, and marrying a wife has no meaning other than marrying a wife. Whether it is sent to him or recovered by himself, it is full of animal-like emotions. Nature has no human nature and emotions, so it is "one after another", and there is always no end or exhaustion. "One Hundred Thousand Whys" does not include these, but these do not mean they are not "whys". People, only by being nice to your wife can both your wife and you be better off.

Yang Sen married wives one after another. In addition to making each wife miserable and without a good ending, Yang Sen also brought a lot of trouble to himself, namely: he has more than 40 children, because There were so many that he couldn't tell them apart, and once, he actually regarded other people's children as his own. On the surface, it seemed like it was just a joke, but the sadness actually saddened his heart forever at that moment - how pitiful a person would be if he didn't recognize his children because of the hardships of life!

Finally, let me say something weakly: Some people may ask, it is impossible for Yang Sen's 12 wives to be gathered together in one place for actual military management to form an enhanced "female soldier class". This is also the fact. He failed to do it, but the 12 wives he married were only on the surface. Only he knew how many he married secretly. If the overt and covert wives were added together, the number of "female soldier classes" should be There has been no problem.
