In the modern history of the mainland, everyone knows that the dynasty that can have three wives and four concubines should be the Qing Dynasty, when the emperor had many concubines, many dignitaries and dignitaries also followed suit, and the wives and concubines were in groups, but with the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the situation of three wives and four concubines has been reduced a lot.
The most famous is that Zhang Zuolin has six wives, but among them, there is a warlord who marries more than Zhang Zuolin, and while advocating women's freedom and equality, he also sets various rules for his aunt and children like the "soil emperor", and even gave birth to a daughter at the age of 91, do you know who this warlord is?
Seeing his photo, many people will mistake it for Zhang Xueliang at the first time, which is also because his face is quite similar to Zhang Xueliang when he was young, in fact, his name is Yang Sen, he was born in Sichuan, although his family background is not very good, but under the influence of his father, he has a strong interest in practicing martial arts and joining the army.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Yang Sen applied for the Sichuan Army Crash School, and later became the core figure of the Sichuan Warlord Group of the Rapid Department, and after graduation, Yang Sen also successfully became an officer, but his life is like being intertwined in the old and the new and unable to extricate himself, while feeling the equality and freedom of the new era, while imitating the three wives and four concubines of the Qing Dynasty.
He has 12 wives and concubines and 43 children, but the endings of these wives and concubines are different, because the idea of respect for men is deep-rooted, so the life of these wives and concubines in the family is not easy, and some will even be beaten and scolded wantonly, and two of them have died at his hands, even their goddaughters have not been spared.
This is a very rare family photo of the Yang Sen family, of course, not all of the aunts and children are among them, in the photo is his second wife, third aunt, fourth aunt, fifth aunt, sixth aunt, looking at this dress, it is not difficult to see that the life of the Yang Sen family has begun to gradually improve at that time.
In the beginning, Yang Sen was not a "scumbag" who spent all his time drinking, because he lived in a traditional family, and his parents restrained him, so Yang Sen's marriage at the beginning was very happy, according to Phoenix.com, his first wife was Zhang's, although this marriage was the words of his parents' matchmaker, but Yang Sen and Zhang's relationship was also very good.
Zhang is a typical Qing Dynasty woman character, filial piety to her in-laws, considerate husband, even the younger brothers and sisters in the family are very satisfied with this sister-in-law, Xiuwai Huizhong, Yang Sen also attaches great importance to this wife, but the good times did not last long, after being admitted to the crash school, her wife died violently, and in a sad mood, the young man's heart also changed.
Because the young man lost his wife, the family was also worried that Yang Sen would lose his desire for marriage, so it didn't take long for him to renew a wife named Tan Zhengde from his hometown.
However, with Yang Sen's continuous fighting, his position became more and more stable, and his family background became more and more solid, and he slowly began to develop the habit of spending time and drinking, and later Tan's was gradually left out in the cold, and he was sent back to his hometown, guarding the mansion of Nuoda for a lonely life, but because she had children, her life still had a better ending, and she died at the age of 92.
has a house, has money, although there is no husband's care, but compared to the endings of other aunts, the Tan family was able to withdraw when Yang Sen had not really become a cold "demon", and as Yang Sen's status became higher and higher, there were more people who wanted to win over and take refuge in him, including the father of the third aunt Liu Gufang.
When he first saw Yang Sen, he thought that this person could bring benefits to himself, so he married his daughter to Yang Sen, and his abacus was indeed as he expected, because of his own investment, Yang Sen also soared, but Liu Gufang's fate was not very good, he was able to rely on his father's position to stabilize himself, but he suffered from lung disease and died during the war.
Yang Sen only pretended to be sad in front of outsiders, in fact, he didn't care about Liu Gufang's death in his heart, his fourth aunt was named Tian Hengqiu, although her life was beautiful, but her later years were also very miserable, because she was born in a very solid family, and her appearance was very beautiful, when she first met Yang Sen, Tian Hengqiu also had a marriage contract, but Yang Sen didn't care.
Through some means, Tian Hengqiu married home, but his father-in-law was angry to death because he couldn't stand it, as soon as his father died, Tian Hengqiu understood more that if he wanted to live, he must firmly grasp Yang Sen's heart, and he was crooked, the Tian family has been in business for generations, and Tian Hengqiu is also very good at grasping people's hearts, so Yang Sen loves her very much.
At the time of embarrassment, Yang Sen handed over all his property to Tian Hengqiu and asked her to take it to Taiwan, which is enough to see the importance that Yang Sen attaches to him in his heart, but the good times did not last long, when he went out to visit relatives, Tian Hengqiu suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and hemiplegia, and the woman who had been able to help him become like this, Yang Sen not only did not regret and take care of her, but was very disgusted, and finally directly left her aside.
Once those properties were also recovered by Yang Sen, and the treatment of illness in his later years was all provided by his daughter, although the first half of his life was lucky and beautiful, the second half of his life was also miserable, after her favor ended, Yang Sen also started a new life, in a family banquet, met his fifth aunt Tai Chopin Qiong, she is the daughter of Yang Sen's subordinates.
Because of the clean and unsophisticated sleekness, Janssen liked her very much, and her well-behaved appearance made Janssen even more difficult to extricate himself, but her fate was like a "red face and thin life", in a boat trip, due to the tilt of the hull of the ship in the middle of the river, Chopin Qiong also drowned.
The sixth aunt's background is very bad, she is the personal maid of the third aunt Liu Gufang, she was forcibly defiled by Yang Sen at the age of 15, and later she was also accepted as a concubine, but Chen Shunrong's character is very cowardly, perhaps because she has been a maid for a long time, compared to the other aunts' excellent phoenix appearance, she is a submissive appearance, and Yang Sen does not like her because of this.
Although she didn't like it, she was not neglected for a long time, but became the object of Yang Sen's anger, beating and scolding her at every turn, and often whipping, which also made Chen Shunrong, who was already timid, even more cringe, under the long-term torture, she also went insane, Yang Sen lost interest in her after seeing this, and directly ordered someone to tie her up and send her to the countryside, and finally died of illness in Chongqing.
Her experience also gradually reflected Yang Sen's tyranny and inhumanity, and this behavior was not terminated by the sixth aunt, but began, Yang Sen's seventh aunt was named Zeng Guizhi, and her appearance also made Yang Sen's "beast" veil be torn off, because Zeng Guizhi was his goddaughter.
She is a child that Yang Sen picked up on the road, because she was smart and clever, and was later adopted as a goddaughter by the third aunt, as she grew older, Zeng Guizhi was slim, which made Yang Sen have a different mood in his heart, and it was precisely because Tian Hengqiu was good at capturing people's hearts that she also saw Yang Sen's thoughts on Zeng Guizhi, and with the help of Tian Hengqiu, Zeng Guizhi, who was only 14 years old, was bullied by Yang Sen.
Unable to change the facts, she also decided to negotiate with Yang Sen, what she wanted was very simple, that is, to let Yang Sen send her to study, but she never thought that this decision also cost her life, because she opened her eyes to study, and also imagined free love, and later started dating a male classmate in the class, but was discovered by Yang Sen's subordinates.
Yang Sen tricked the boy out and shot him in the suburbs, Zeng Guizhi did not escape this fate, after his death, Yang Sen also tied him to a stone and threw it into the river, the girl's life also ended, and she never had the right to choose between life and death.
The eighth aunt's name is Wang Defang, she was also forced by Yang Sen's military might and had to marry him, but her fate was very bumpy, and even in the end she was killed by Yang Sen, although she married Yang Sen but was able to go to school all the time, and later founded a school to let Wang Defang be the principal, although the two did not get along, but because of Wang Defang's father, Yang Sen never controlled too much.
Even her child later changed her surname to Wang, although Yang Sen was unhappy about this, but did not show too much anger, and later because of some special reasons, she was also implicated by Yang Sen, and she was forced to commit suicide in Leshan, if it weren't for Yang Sen, maybe her fate could have a different ending.
Aunt Jiu's ending is the same as Zeng Guizhi's, and she eventually died under Yang Sen's gun, Aunt Jiu's name is Cai Wenna, she is a veritable beauty, her knowledge and appearance are very good, because her father was down, so she married Yang Sen, Yang Sen loved her very much in the early days, and even invited someone to teach her.
However, after going back and forth, Mr. Teaching and Cai Wenna had a relationship, and at first Yang Sen also chose to forgive, but Cai Wenna did not seize the opportunity, but fell in love with her classmates in school again, Yang Sen learned about it, pretended not to know and had a night with Cai Wenna, and let the guards shoot Cai Wenna early the next morning.
The ending of the tenth aunt Zheng Wenru is very good, although she also married Yang Sen by chance, but Yang Sen also cared for her very much, but Zheng Wenru, who was sick and suffering from lung disease, lost her former demeanor, and Yang Sen abandoned her, and after liberation, Zheng Wenru also found a husband who really cared for her.
Mrs. Eleventh is the daughter of Yang Sen's servant, because she studied and lived in the house by Yang Sen, although her father took her to hide in Tibet, but was still found by Yang Sen, and later Hu Jieyu was taken to Taiwan by Yang Sen, Yang Sen was 86 years old, Hu Jieyu also gave birth to a daughter, and later followed her daughter to United States to settle down, and life was very good.
The last concubine was recruited by Yang Sen for a special reason, and he was only 17 years old when he became his aunt's wife, Zhang Lingfeng also served him wholeheartedly in the last part of Yang Sen's life, and Yang Sen would also say many words to Zhang Lingfeng that had been buried in his heart, and what is even more amazing is that according to the People's Daily, when Yang Sen was 91 years old, Zhang Lingfeng also gave birth to a daughter for him.
Yang Sen's life is indeed like the "emperor", but it is a pity that the young and frivolous do not cherish the people around him, which has also led to their tragic endings one by one, most of his wives and concubines have very miserable endings, feelings are never child's play, respect for the pillow is also respecting themselves, wives and concubines are not soldiers, and they must be sincere in exchange for loyalty.
