#长文创作激励计划#白崇禧一辈子只娶了一个妻子, it sounds normal, but it doesn't sound normal.
Although it is the era of the Republic of China, and multiple wives, multiple concubines have become history, but the aftermath has not disappeared, not to mention that in the war-torn era, officers and their families are mostly separated, and it is normal to have one more woman by their side, not to mention those big warlords.
In fact, Bai Chongxi is no exception, there was also a lady surnamed Wang by his side, but why didn't she become his concubine? In dealing with this matter, Ma Peizhang's attitude surprised Bai Chongxi.
01 Choose a son-in-law
Ma Peizhang was born in a scholarly family, his father Ma Jianqing was a tribute student in the late Qing Dynasty, a famous gentleman, a governor, a county magistrate, a very noble person, and a gentle and virtuous mother who belonged to a traditional woman.
Ma Peizhang is the eldest daughter in the family, with a younger brother and two younger sisters, although she is a woman, she has shown since she was a child that women do not let their eyebrows be shaved, and women should be self-reliant.
When she was a child, her mother chased her and bound her feet, so she went to kick her grandmother's door until the whole family depended on her; She was also very attentive to going to school, she asked her family to send her to a new school, received a new education, and grew into a new woman; In order to fight for profits, they will also march on the streets with the student procession.
When she reached the age of marriage, she was slim and elegant, beautiful and wise, excellent in character and talent, and had already become a well-known beauty in Guilin.
In order to choose a good son-in-law for his daughter, Ma Jianqing also tried his best, but there is a prerequisite that must be met, that is, he must be both Muslims.
Because Ma Jianqing insisted on the rule that non-sectarian families do not intermarry, many outstanding men were blocked out, and in a blink of an eye, her daughter also reached the age of 22.
At that time, 22 years old was already considered an older leftover woman, and it was impossible to say that she was not in a hurry.
Perhaps in the dark, Yue Lao has his own arrangements, and when Ma Peizhang was 22 years old, Bai Chongxi walked into the sight of the Ma family.
Bai Chongxi is a native of Guangxi, but also a Hui people, believe in Islam, when he was the chief of staff of the Dinggui Bandit Coalition Army and the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, at this time, he had just driven Shen Hongying to Hunan, a young general, at the age of 32, young and promising, full of ambition, and was also a man of the year in Guilin.
After seeing Bai Chongxi, Ma's father and daughter were very satisfied, and soon Bai Chongxi hugged the beauty, holding hands, it was 37 years.
It is not easy to be a soldier's wife in ancient and modern times, not only to worry about the safety of her husband when he marches and fights, but also to pick up the burden of the whole family in the rear alone, can Ma Peizhang stand the test? She proved with her actions that women should be self-reliant, and women should not let their eyebrows be shaved.
02 Women should be self-reliant
In late February 1925, Bai Chongxi and Ma Peizhang tied the knot, but before the honeymoon was over, Bai Chongxi received a call from Li Zongren, saying that Tang Jiyao's troops had entered Guizhou from Guizhou and besieged Liuzhou in a hurry.
The military situation was urgent, Bai Chongxi had to say goodbye to his new wife in a hurry, and sent Hou Renlin to guard Guilin, and he led his troops to aid Liuzhou.
As soon as Bai Chongxi left Guilin, Shen Rongguang, the son of Shen Hongying, led the Shen army to attack Guilin. Due to Hou Renlin's poor defense, Guilin fell back into the hands of the Shen army on April 2.
After the Shen army entered the city, they wantonly plundered, and Bai Chongxi and his father-in-law Ma Jianqing were persecuted by the Shen army, and a lot of family property was taken away. At the same time, Shen Rongguang also ordered the whole city to search for Ma Peizhang, and even said: "Anyone who catches Ma Peizhang or reports his whereabouts will be rewarded heavily." ”
In the face of the great enemy, Ma Peizhang did not have a square inch, she disguised herself as a peasant woman under the chaos of the Shen army's entry into the city, and under the cover of the guards, she was successfully transferred to a hospital run by foreigners.
Therefore, Shen Rongguang searched the whole city, but he did not find Ma Peizhang.
After Bai Chongxi learned that Guilin had fallen into the hands of the Shen army again, he immediately led his troops back to Guilin, and after several twists and turns, he finally found his wife hiding in Daosheng Hospital.
Reborn after the catastrophe, the husband and wife hugged each other and cried, and Ma Peizhang's alertness and wisdom also impressed Bai Chongxi.
After this difficulty, Bai Chongxi also increased his vigilance and strengthened the protection of his family. Since then, whenever there is an accident, he will settle his wife and children in the rear as soon as possible, and then go to war alone.
But in the war-torn years, life is the least guaranteed. During the Northern Expedition, there was a fierce battle between Bai Chongxi and Sun Chuanfang in Longtan, and Ma Peizhang received the news of Bai Chongxi's death in Shanghai.
Just when her home was in chaos, Ma Peizhang decided to go to the front line in order to confirm the news. So, she broke through the blockade line overnight, climbed the trenches, braved the rain of bullets, ran to the front line, and when she saw Bai Chongxi alive, she knew that it was an oolong.
On the contrary, Bai Chongxi was surprised to see Ma Peizhang, he once again got to know his wife again, and saw her bravery and decisiveness.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Guilin fell, Hunan and Guizhou retreated, the two families of Baima added up to more than 80 people, there were 90-year-old people, there were full moon babies, all of them obeyed Ma Peizhang's command, under her leadership, the family stepped through thousands of mountains and rivers, and arrived in Chongqing safely.
Ma Peizhang once again proved with her actions that she is the pillar of the family. For this, the Ma family also recognizes.
According to Bai Xianyong's recollection, her mother was open-minded, no matter how difficult the environment was, she always had an optimistic attitude, had the courage to survive, never admit defeat, and had a very strong personality.
In terms of being strong, it is also reflected in her handling of Bai Chongxi's derailment.
03 Cheating is not scary
Bai Chongxi did not take concubines in his life, compared to other warlords' three wives and four concubines, he is really different, but he is not perfect in terms of feelings, he once had a son with his subordinate fiancée, that is, the eldest son Bai Xiandao, which is also a fact.
In 1930, Bai Chongxi led his troops into Nanning and drove the Dian army out of Guangxi. At that time, his wife Ma Peizhang and two daughters were arranged in Hong Kong, which was also for the safety of his wife and daughter.
But in this way, Bai Chongxi became a lonely man, staying alone in his hometown, winning on the battlefield again and again, he was excited, but also felt a little lonely in the dead of night, after all, it was the spring and autumn age.
In order to dispatch Lonely, he would call the guards to play chess with him in the middle of the night, but this kind of thing was fine once or twice, and it was like this twice in three days, and the guards and attendants were all bitter.
One of his subordinates, an adjutant named Xu Huisheng, saw that something was wrong with Bai Chongxi, so he found two women on the Fengyue field to serve Bai Chongxi.
But Bai Chongxi has always had the style of a Confucian general, and he can't look down on unidentified and unclear women. Later, Xu Huisheng found him a woman from a good family, but he still refused to take a concubine
Xu Huisheng thought about it and finally understood what kind of woman he liked, so he reluctantly cut his love and introduced his fiancée, Ms. Wang, to Bai Chongxi.
Ms. Wang has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, belongs to the small jasper type, and her net worth is innocent, Bai Chongxi fell in love with her at a glance. After the two lived together, Bai Chongxi specially rented a small villa near her residence and stayed overnight. And Xu Huisheng was also promoted because of this, and was arranged to be the garrison commander of the border city of Guangxi.
Bai Chongxi did not tell Ms. Wang his true identity, but referred to him as Adjutant Huang. One day, Ms. Wang and her female companion went to Nancheng Stadium to participate in a grand event, when she heard the host mention that when she invited Deputy Commander-in-Chief Bai to give a speech, she glanced at the podium at random, and this look frightened her a lot.
At this time, Bai Chongxi's true identity was exposed, and soon after, Ms. Wang gave birth to a baby boy named "Black Boy", which immediately alarmed Ma Peizhang in Hong Kong.
At this time, Bai Chongxi only had two daughters, and Ms. Wang gave birth to a son for him, he was happy from the bottom of his heart, but with the arrival of Ma Peizhang, Bai Chongxi was ashamed.
He insisted on not accepting concubines, and only said that all matters were handled by Ma Peizhang, just the same, the child was indeed his flesh and blood.
Faced with her husband's cheating and the newborn baby, Ma Peizhang thought about it again and again and put forward two conditions:
First, the child stays, the mother leaves, that is, the mother leaves the son, and the child will be raised by him in the future, and promises to treat it as his own, declare the eldest son to the outside world, and name it Bai Xiandao;
Second, in order to protect Ms. Wang's future life, she will provide a large amount of money for living expenses.
Since then, Ms. Wang has disappeared from their lives, and the eldest son, Bai Xiandao, officially moved into the Bai family and became a member of the Bai family.
Ma Peizhang dealt with this matter, she didn't cry, she didn't make trouble, she didn't hang herself, her reason was neat, and her performance surprised Bai Chongxi a little, as if it was the first time he knew such a wife.
Since then, Bai Chongxi has relied more on this woman who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.
04 Passed away
In 1949, Bai Chongxi and his family retreated to Taiwan to live, and a family of more than ten people was crammed into two ordinary public dormitories together, although the environment was not good, Ma Peizhang was still very optimistic.
Bai Chongxi, who was excluded, under the leadership of his wife, also accompanied her to plant flowers and watch performances together. When he dreamed back in the middle of the night, he occasionally heard the sound of Jin Ge and sat up in shock, and Ma Peizhang always comforted him softly.
According to Bai Xianyong, his father and mother rely on each other spiritually, and his mother is the master of the family, and his father respects her opinion.
But Ma Peizhang only lived to be 59 years old before he died, and while his wife was hospitalized, 69-year-old Bai Chongxi also often went to the hospital. When the funeral is held, Islam has the custom of going around the tomb, every day to go around, to recite the scriptures for 40 days, Bai Chongxi also goes every day.
After Ma Peizhang's burial, Bai Chongxi's spirit was much worse than before. Because Ma Peizhang has always taken care of the two families of Baima, he passed away suddenly, and both families suddenly felt that they had lost their support.
Ma Peizhang used her life to interpret that women should be self-reliant, do not cling to or rely on, bravely face the hardships and joys of life, and deal with them calmly, and they will reap happiness.
