"Can't be, boy column." But the heart is stronger than, boy! —"ManJiang Hong, XiaoZhu Jinghua""
Although most of the male heroes in history, such as Yue Fei and others, there have been heroes who are still remembered in different eras. Who said that women are not as good as men, men are as capable as women, and there are many heroes. Whether it is Mulan or Mu Guiying, who is the commander-in-chief, they are heroines who have left their names throughout the ages.
The women are heroic and sassy, and their heroic deeds are also admired by future generations, including those who are prominent in their lives, there are ordinary no-name pawns, some have a complete life, and some have a bad fate. Mao Qiuqing is also a hero in history, but her life is not so happy, it can be said that she has a tragic life.
Her life is very legendary, and the existence of Mulan is not necessarily true, but Empress Mao Qiuqing is a historical figure who really exists, she not only looks like a flower and moon, but also very brave, no less than a man on the battlefield, as long as she goes to the battlefield, she will inflict heavy damage on the enemy. But even the most powerful character will have a horse lost its front hoof, she was unfortunately arrested in a war, and finally sacrificed her life for the country.
Mao Qiuqing, a warrior who is the empress
In the imperial era, it is well known that the empress was the right wife of the emperor, the mother of a country, and the lord of the harem. The status of the empress is second only to that of the emperor, which shows how honorable she is. According to the usual, after the empress was married into the palace, she was pampered in the harem, enjoyed the favor of the people of the world, and lived a carefree royal life, except of course, except for those empresses who participated in the government.
Even if the queen is in a chaotic world, the queen will not say that she is going to kill the enemy and defend the city. However, the empress introduced today was very brave, and in the face of the war in the country, she actually took the initiative to ask the emperor to go into battle to kill the enemy, and wanted to personally lead the army to quell the war. But her end was so tragic that she was eventually tortured naked to death.
Empress Mao was born in 369 AD, and her real name is not recorded, only some wild histories record her as Empress Mao Qiuqing. Her family is a famous doorman handsome family, since she was a child, she has been strong, so she learned to ride and shoot with her father since she was a child, and her own kung fu is good, and it is said that when she was a teenager, she could kill two birds with one stone.
Most of us know that a queen who can handle the affairs of the harem properly in the harem will be praised for a long time. But Empress Mao Qiuqing was very different from them, her martial arts were sometimes not even comparable to a man, in addition, her strategy was also very superb.
Historian Sima Guang also had a high opinion of her: "Mao is beautiful and brave, good at riding and shooting. ”
The pre-Qin era in history
The word "Former Qin" is very confusing, many people will think that it was before the reign of Qin Shi Huang when they look at the literal meaning, but in fact, this is not the case, Former Qin is actually more than five hundred years later than the Qin Dynasty, and it has nothing to do with the Qin Dynasty in terms of power.
Former Qin was actually a regime established in Chang'an by other clans in the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The most famous is Jian Jian, who was the third emperor of Former Qin and the nephew of the founding emperor Jian Jian. After the death of Jian Jian, Jian Jian's son Zhi Sheng succeeded to the throne, but Zhi Sheng was a very cruel emperor and did not take human life seriously at all, so his rule naturally would not last long.
As long as he advised his ministers, he would be immediately sentenced to death, and at the same time, he did not think about the government and drank alcohol all day. Society was in chaos, the people did not support him, and there was no trust between the monarchs and courtiers.
At that time, whether in ability or prestige, Jian Jian was much better than Zhi Sheng's ability, and he was kind in character and won the hearts of many people, so some ministers hoped that Jian Jian could sit on the throne as soon as possible to rectify this chaotic country.
His brutal behavior was not only discontented, but also inspired hatred among some people. In 357 A.D., in the palace, Hesheng told the maid that the maid Jian Jian was no longer trustworthy, so he wanted to kill him the next day, and the maid did not deliberately hide the secret after learning the secret, but told him.
After hearing this, Jian Jian killed all the way to his palace, and was finally deposed as the King of Yue. In the end, with the assistance of the monarch, Jian Jian successfully ascended the throne. After he ascended to the throne, he became a political state, and the country gradually became rich, and after the national strength increased, he decided to begin to expand the territory, unify the north, and form a situation of confrontation between the north and the south with the Eastern Jin Dynasty at that time.
The queen who eventually died tragically in the war
In that year, Jian Jian was defeated by the Jin army at the fierce Battle of Shuishui, and at the same time, some ethnic groups under former Qin rule launched a rebellion. In 385 AD, during the war, Yao Jian was killed by the Qiang people Yao Cang, and then Yao Cang established the Qin Dynasty and ascended the throne as emperor. During the same time period, Gong Pi died, and Gong Jian's grandson Gong Deng succeeded to the throne, and engaged in fierce battles with Yao Cang in the following years.
In 387 AD, after ascending the throne, Mao Qiuqing married Empress Mao Qiuqing, who was only eighteen years old at that time, and Mao Qiuqing was already nearly fifty years old, and could even be her grandfather.
In the Battle of Yuanyao, Empress Mao Qiuqing herself commanded thousands of troops and horses to defend the Great Boundary Camp. At the beginning, in the war between the two, Yao Cang had been losing the battle, so he could not fight head-on, and he began to carry out surprise attacks behind his back. As a result, he was discovered by Gong Deng, so Gong Deng ordered a siege of Yao Cang. Under the joint leadership of Gong Deng and Mao Qiuqing, they could only suffer a big defeat, and this unsuccessful sneak attack caused yao jun to lose 20,000 horses.
In this war, the Qin army won a major victory. At that time, Yao Cang's remaining troops were seriously injured, with less than 100,000 troops and horses, and nearly a quarter of the soldiers in this battle were killed. Unfortunately, the chain fell off when it was critical. However, unexpectedly, at this time when Gong Deng was relaxing, Yao Cang led 30,000 elite soldiers to attack the Former Qin army in the middle of the night.
Suddenly facing the fierce attack of Yao Jun, Mao Qiuqing immediately crossed the horse-drawn bow, and he only took a few hundred warriors with him to resist. However, it didn't take long for the blood to flow. In this sudden attack, Empress Mao Qiuqing fought alone, and even if she had superb martial arts, she could only be forced to be taken prisoner.
Along the way, she was tied up by five flowers, and Mao Qiuqing was insulted by soldiers on the way to Yao Jun. And when Yao Cang saw Mao Qiuqing, in the face of her beauty, she also had a heart for color, and wanted to forcibly take Mao Qiuqing as her concubine. But Empress Mao Qiuqing vowed not to comply and would rather be killed.
Her final insult angered Yao Cang: "Yao Cang has no way, the former harmed the Son of Heaven, the present insulting empress, the emperor and the queen of the earth, rather than learn the photo!" ”
When Yao Cang heard these words, she was very angry and directly tortured her naked, and finally beheaded her for public display. At this time, Mao Qiuqing was only 21 years old.
epilogue:
She could have lived through condescension, but she had the belief that a soldier could be killed and could not be disgraced, and she regarded death as a homecoming, and her righteous and awe-inspiring spirit was convincing. And the other empress of Toshiden was the opposite, and when she was arrested, she succumbed to being the concubine of the enemy. Five years later, after the death of Former Qin, former Qin's regime also fell.
I have to say that although she is a daughter's family, she has a boy's heart, and although her life is short, she has made great achievements and is respected.
