is another night of debauchery and greetings.
17-year-old Zhang Suzhen sat in front of the window, and the cold white moonlight shone from afar, reflected on her handsome face. This is Jinyutang, a brothel in Changchun.
Since she was sold here last year, Jinyutang's business has suddenly become prosperous, and customers have come here. There is no way, anyone wants her to be the top brand here.
It was almost dawn, and the street was quiet, and the wind blew the fallen leaves and ran forward, as if no one was wearing torn shoes. Zhang Suzhen thought of herself, who had been unrecognizable for more than a year, and felt a sense of sadness.
Zhang Suzhen
She was originally a farmer woman from Liaoyang . Her mother died early, so she had to rely on her father for life. Even if her life was hard, she still had hope.
Maybe it was God's pity, but although her fate was not good, she gave her a beautiful face. In addition, she was diligent and capable, and had a cheerful personality, and she would definitely find a good home in the future.
1917, 16-year-old Zhang Suzhen had become a famous beauty. She had just started to fall in love with her and had a sweetheart - the nephew of the neighbor's house - a handsome young man.
The two people are in love and are like an enviable couple.
At that time, he was 16 years old, and he was the age to talk about marriage. However, before Zhang Suzhen could wait for her lover to come to propose marriage, she had to face the separation from her lover first.
It turned out that the man's mother was seriously ill and he had to go home to serve in front of the bed.
Liaoyang
The night before leaving, he held her in his arms and pressed her face against her forehead. Her cheeks were filled with tears. I don’t know if it was him or she cried.
At that moment, Zhang Suzhen's heart suddenly swelled, and she couldn't breathe. For a 16-year-old woman, love should be put in a crystal bottle and held in her palm to see.
Since you can't keep your lover, you might as well go away with him. She had to think so, otherwise she would regret it for the rest of her life.
Although there is a father who depends on each other at home, women are not good at this and are too stupid. She would rather leave her father than part with her lover.
So, Zhang Suzhen, who was in her jasper, bid farewell to her hometown and her only relatives, and followed the man to Changchun with her dream of a better future.
At that time, she would never have thought that this decision would change her life's destiny.
Changchun in the 1920s
Compared with the poverty and obstruction of rural areas in Liaoyang, Changchun's bright lights and wine are simply another world.
On the bustling streets, Zhang Suzhen, who walked out of her hometown for the first time, held the corner of her sweetheart's clothes. The people around her were endless, shouting and hawking endlessly, and the new things to see...
She followed her blindly, and she believed him, as if this person could see it at a glance. Even if he didn't hold his hand, even the corner of his clothes could be used as a token.
At that time, Zhang Suzhen was completely unaware of where she was taken. It was not until the man who said "go and go back" that she didn't come back for several hours that she felt something was wrong here.
She panicked and stood up to find her lover, but was blocked by several big and thick men.
The fair woman in the early days of the Republic of China
She wanted to break out, but how could a weak woman be the opponent of several men? They tied her up and sent her to a woman with heavy makeup.
At this time, Zhang Suzhen realized that the man who had once told her a vow to her was selling her to a brothel for 50 yuan .
Aggrievance, fear, resentment, suspicion... mixed with indescribable emotions, and ran straight out of her eyes as if she opened the gate.
It turns out that no one can really understand another person, and what you are sure of is the tip of the iceberg floating on the water. What's more, she knew nothing about him except his name.
However, this is not a songbook on the stage, there are not so many stories of resistance, chastity, reputation, face... all turned into jokes in front of "living".
The fair woman in the Republic of China
was renamed "Cui Xier" by the madam. With her outstanding appearance, she quickly became the top brand of Jinyutang.
She is now full of flowers and food. Even if she doesn't like this kind of life, what can she do? She is not her own master.
When it is late at night, she will also think of her distant hometown, her elderly father, and the man who once made her desperate and heartbroken.
"Maybe he has some difficulties." She thought about this and scolded herself for being mean. She didn't want to understand him, and once she understood him, her dream would not be possible.
In order not to let these fatal distress occupy her heart, she made herself busy and squandered her beauty and youth until she met the man she was destined to.
Wang Futang is Zhang Suzhen’s envy.
Banditors of the Republic of China
Since he came to Jinyutang, he has never looked for other women. He always acted generously and would give her gold and silver jewelry privately.
Despite this, Zhang Suzhen did not look at this man differently. In her eyes, this man was no different from other customers, but was just a familiar customer he met at night.
But, he is so unique, because one day, he said he wanted to marry her.
Zhang Suzhen certainly won’t take it seriously. The men who come here are all looking for fun. Who would marry a prostitute and go home?
This is a so perfunctory sweet talk. When men spend money, they are too lazy to even say some love words, but she never expected that he is not only willing to say them, but even really does it.
That day, Wang Futang went to the madam to negotiate the price. However, Zhang Suzhen was the top player here, and the madam still counted on her money tree, how could she be willing to do this hammer business?
Bandits during the Republic of China
When seeing the madam refused to let him go, Wang Futang rushed out of the door angrily. Looking at Wang Futang's back, Zhang Suzhen thought, maybe he won't come again, right? But, what should he have to do with her if he comes or not?
Sure enough, for a while, Wang Futang never appeared again. Just when Zhang Suzhen was about to forget about this, the madam came to her door crying.
It turned out that day the madam led his son to to visit the temple fair . Unexpectedly, he met a robber on the way, tied up the madam's young son and sent someone to send a message to replace him with Zhang Suzhen.
Although Zhang Suzhen didn't know who the bandit was named, she vaguely felt that this matter had something to do with Wang Futang.
She went up the mountain with the sender. For her, there was nothing to hesitate about. What else is there that is more desperate than a brothel?

As expected, Zhang Suzhen indeed met Wang Futang. However, after many days, he was no longer the reckless client, but the leader of the "Renyi Army".
"Renyi Army" is a famous local bandit. He does everything he wants to burn, kill, loot and rob. Wang Futang replaced Zhang Suzhen up the mountain to fulfill his promise - to marry her as his wife.
That year, Zhang Suzhen was 18 years old. Without too much hesitation, she agreed to be his "Madam of the Village".
Yes, even if he is a bandit, even if he does everything evil, he is a person who will do what he says, at least it is more realistic than the man who betrayed her.
Just like that, Zhang Suzhen finally became her master. When she was a bandit in the mountains, Zhang Suzhen was not idle either. She rubbed Wang Futang to teach herself to ride a horse and shoot a gun.
Banditors in the Republic of China
She is a weak woman, but not a silly woman. Her past experiences made her understand that the world is prey on the weak, and there is no reason to say. Only when she is truly strong can she not be bullied.
Although Wang Futang is a villain, he is surprisingly good to Zhang Suzhen. If she wants to learn, he will teach her that he will have such a beautiful wife who is not allowed to be so beautiful. He will not be able to ask for it.
If she hadn't met Wang Futang, maybe Zhang Suzhen wouldn't have known for her whole life that she had the talent to ride a horse and shoot guns. Not long after, she had mastered the precise double-gun skills.
Not only that, Wang Futang also handed over the entire village to Zhang Suzhen for care, and even pushed her to the position of "Three Heads". She followed her more than 2,000 people, and she was the leader.
The house where Zhang Suzhen lived
She was originally a woman who dared to love and hate. The various life she experienced in the past two years have turned her from a weak woman to a cruel and ruthless female bandit.
On the day of his resignation, Zhang Suzhen led people to sneak into Jinyutang, killed the madam with his own hands, and left the name "Camel Dragon", which was considered as a letter of submission for himself.
From then on, the name of "female beauty bandit camel dragon" has become famous among the white mountains and black waters.
For several years, Zhang Suzhen and Wang Futang have robbed bandits and burned, killed and raped in Wuchang , Yushu , Shuangcheng and other places, which has become the biggest public hazard in the local area.
At that time, the subordinate of the leader of the Changchun martial law was Zhang Zuolin, the subordinate of the Fengtian leader. Li Du led his troops to suppress bandits many times, but did not take any advantage.
In October 1923, Wang Futang and Zhang Suzhen sneaked into Shanrentun, Luanshishan, Wanbao Town, Dehui County, Jilin. This was the temporary incident of bandit suppression - the soldiers disrupted Shishan.
Zhang Zuolin
0 In the early morning of the 5th, the couple led more than 30 bandits to attack Shanrentun.
It is said that on that day, the "camel dragon" rode a tall horse, wearing a purple cloak, cross-body and snatched it, standing in the forest beside the village to command the battle.
Under the command of the "Camel Dragon", several landlords lost their courtyards one by one. For a moment, the village cried and sang to the ground and cried.
Seeing that the attack was successful, Wang Futang made a concerted effort and led people to launch a fierce attack on the Ji family compound.
Unexpectedly, while the Ji family was deploying defense, they had already sent people to the county town to deliver letters. When the "Renyi Army" arrived at the Ji family compound, the Changchun Security Team had already arrived.
Facing the Fengtian regular army that had a far more than its own, the "Renyi Army" was attacked from both sides, suffered heavy casualties, and almost wiped out the entire army.
Bandits of the Republic of China
Seeing the bad situation, Wang Futang and Zhang Suzhen fled in panic with only a dozen remaining brothers. On the way, Wang Futang was seriously injured and died on the spot.
At the critical moment of life and death, Zhang Suzhen had to throw her husband's body away in the wilderness and fled back to the village with a few brothers.
After that, the security team brought the body of the bandit leader Wang Futang back to Changchun and beheaded and displayed in public.
news came, and Zhang Suzhen was deeply saddened. In this unreasonable world, she no longer knows what is right and what is wrong, but Wang Futang is the only man who treats her sincerely, and she is sure of this.
Zhang Suzhen vowed to avenge her dead husband. As a bandit, "righteousness" is greater than that of the sky. A woman is even more affectionate and righteous, and the bandits under her are even more excited.
After that, Zhang Suzhen successfully took the position of "the boss" with the support of a group of brothers.
Bandits of the Republic of China
In a blink of an eye, it was autumn again. Zhang Suzhen was ready to go and brought people to Dehui County again. Her first goal was the Ji Family Courtyard. A year ago, her husband was here, and today she asked them to pay their blood debts.
For this reason, Zhang Suzhen gave a death order: Those who resisted will kill you! After the bloody purge of the Ji family compound, the "Renyi Army" swept the East Wasteland with a rapid momentum, causing the famous "East Wasteland Blood Case" in history.
After receiving the news of the emergence of the martial law commander of Changchun, Li Du, immediately mobilized a large number of troops to suppress it. In the face of the well-trained regular army, the "Renyi Army" collapsed and the entire army was wiped out.
No matter what, she finally avenged her husband.
Zhang Suzhen, who escaped by luck, had nowhere to hide, so she had to hide in the brothel in Princess Ridge . In order to support herself, she had to return to her old career.
Li Du
After many years, Zhang Suzhen returned to this absurd world of luxury and wealth.The brothel destroyed her, but now she has to survive on it.
It was not dark yet, and the big red lanterns in the brothel had already lit up. They looked very fake in the sky, like jewelry worn by actors.
Zhang Suzhen looked at it, and at some point, her eyes suddenly became blurred. Everything in this world seemed to have become something outside of her body, and the only thing she could trust was the tone in her mouth.
However, fate did not let this "poor woman" go, this is her cause and effect, and she must bear it.
In January 1925, after a lot of visits and inspections, Li Du finally found out about Zhang Suzhen's whereabouts, and sent someone to secretly surround her and take her back to Changchun.
00000000s opera newspaper
000000000s, based on the experience of Camel Dragon, was arrested by the "female beauty bandit Camel Dragon" spread throughout the Northeast overnight. Li Du, the hero of the bandit suppression, was also appreciated by Zhang Zuolin because of this. However, at this time, he encountered a dilemma.
It turns out that the beauty of "camel dragon" has long been a well-known legend in the Northeast, and people want to see the beauty of this stunning bandit leader.
When Zhang Suzhen was escorted to Changchun to be dealt with by military law, many warlord officials, including the immediate boss Wu Junsheng , sent telegrams to Li Du, asking to interrogate Zhang Suzhen in person.
It is hard to imagine that a small bandit leader could be tried by several senior officials of the Fengtian warlord .
But, to whom should Zhang Suzhen be given? Li Du was in trouble. He was just a small commander of martial law and could not afford to offend anyone. If he favored one and the other, it was hard to say that he would not have a grudge.
Wu Junsheng
After thinking about it, Li Du accepted the suggestion of his subordinates:
First take a photo of Zhang Suzhen, and then take him to the execution ground for military law to deal with it. After his death, he sent a telegram to his superiors, saying that "the camel dragon was executed by gunfire when he received the telegram", and sent a photo of Zhang Suzhen with the telegram.
I have to say that this is indeed a best of both worlds. It not only satisfies the curiosity of all bosses, but also does not offend others because of favoring one or the other.
However, for Zhang Suzhen, her 24-year-old life has come to an end.
1925, the winter in Changchun was particularly cold, but the neighborhood of Kuanchengzi was crowded with people. Everyone wanted to see what kind of woman could become the "master of bandits". Not far away, a carriage slowly drove in, and the fully armed soldiers escorted a female prisoner in large tied up. As the carriage got closer, people's discussion began to rise and fall.
The Republic of China drama newspaper, adapted from the experience of Camel Dragon,
, is different from what everyone imagined. The female prisoner in the prison car was wearing a brocade cotton robe and embroidered shoes under her feet. She had beautiful eyebrows and fair skin, and looked like a makeup of a wealthy young lady.
If it weren't for standing in the prison car and being surrounded by soldiers, who would have thought that this would be a cruel female bandit leader?
For a moment, sighs, scolds, complaints, and cheers, as if the cicadas that had been shouted for a summer were vented, making people tinnitus , and all this was no longer important to Zhang Suzhen.
Unexpectedly, when the prison car passed by the door of the silk shop, Zhang Suzhen asked to the shop owner who was watching the fun in the crowd, "Boss, can you give me a red silk?"
As the saying goes, it is good to say that people are about to die. The boss was stunned for a moment and asked the guy to pull off a red silk and put it on Zhang Suzhen's body.

"Thank you!" Zhang Suzhen turned her head and smiled.
Against the backdrop of red silk, Zhang Suzhen's face looked even more rosy. She smiled all the way, like a newly married bride, with shyness and longing for the future.
After one stick of incense, the female bandit leader Camel Dragon was shot.
No one knows why she put on that red silk before she died?
She is a beautiful woman, her life should be as beautiful as that "red", but what makes her look overshadowed?
Maybe, she just thought she was going to a wedding she was looking forward to, and what was waiting for her was her sweetheart in the distance. This was her dream in a crystal bottle and she wanted to take it to the coffin.
She was fantasizing in a touch of red, smiling, expecting... But with a shocked gunshot, something seemed to be in her body, and it was broken like this.
