The heroic deeds of the first female general of the Ming Dynasty The tenacity and bravery behind the husband's rebellion
Although ancient Chinese history has long been dominated by men, many heroines have been born in the long history, including Mrs. Hua of the Guangxi Zhuang clan in the Ming Dynasty. After her husband was killed in a mutiny, she not only took on the heavy responsibility of managing the town, but also performed many miraculous feats in the War of Resistance against Japan, which was praised"Lady of the Second Degree", there is"The first female general of the anti-Japanese war"The title.
She was born in a local civil service family, and after her husband was **, she became the head of the local **.
Ms. Hua, whose real name is Cen Hua, was born in the ninth year of Hongzhi (1496) of the Ming Dynasty, and her father Cen Zhang was an internal official in Zhili Prefecture (Ming Dynasty Minority Bureau). with Han women"Stay at home"is different, Cen Hua of the Tujia family has been smart and diligent since childhood, not only reading poetry and books, but also practicing martial arts and proficient in the art of war.
When he grew up, Cen Hua married Cen Meng, a local ** in Tianzhou (now Tianyang County, Guangxi), and changed his name"Baby"。As a local **, Cen Meng is a little arbitrary and contemptuous of the imperial court. During the reign of Emperor Zhu Youzhu of Hongzhi, he was transferred to the post of director of the Qianhu Office in Pinghaiwei (present-day Putian, Fujian), and it was not until the third year of Zhengde (1508) that he returned to Renzhi County in Tianzhou by bribing Liu Jin.
In the seventh year of Zhengde (1512), Cen Meng participated in the campaign to quell the Hualin Rebellion in Jiangxi with his compatriots and was promoted to the commander of the capital. However, Cen Meng was still not satisfied, and he hoped to achieve greater feats through a new campaign, but the result was disappointing to him. After that, Cen Meng's mentality began to change, not only disobeying the orders of his superiors, but even committing crimes with the soldiers.
In the second year of Jiajing (1523), Cen Meng led the villagers to openly attack Sicheng (present-day Baise, Guangxi), which was already tantamount to a rebellion, but the imperial court was still wary of Guangxi's ethnic minorities and did not immediately punish them. It was not until the fifth year of Jiajing (1526) that the imperial court heard that Cen Meng repeatedly invaded neighboring provinces, recruited famous generals, and sent troops to encircle and suppress them, and Cen Meng and his son Cen Bangyan were finally defeated and died the following year.
After Cen Meng's death, his grandson Cen Zhi ascended the throne, but due to Cen Zhi's young age, his place was taken by Mrs. Wa. In the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing (1550), Cen Zhi was ordered by the imperial court to go to Hainan Island to quell the Li rebellion, but unfortunately died in battle. Therefore, the Wa lady was responsible for raising Cen Zhi's sons, Cen Dashou and Cen Dalu, and continued to manage state affairs.
Ms. Hua's fate can be described as ups and downs, but in her two terms of power in Tianzhou, she was reasonable and good at managing state affairs"Everything is based on national interests, strategizing, and sober at home and abroad"It is necessary not only to stabilize social order, but also to actively develop agricultural production, develop judicial affairs in schools, and popularize education, not only to stabilize social order, but also to actively develop agricultural production, develop voluntary schools, and establish education, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
She fought for her granddaughter against the Japanese army, and was awarded"Second Lady"Title.
During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese plague was serious, and the combat effectiveness of the Guards was very limited, and the imperial court often dispatched them"Wolf soldiers"Expedition. In the thirty-third year of Jiajing (1554), the Ming Dynasty appointed Zhang Jing, the secretary of the military department, as the minister of the Qin Mission, responsible for the southeast anti-Japanese war, and Zhang Jing will be all over the country"Wolf soldiers"Sent to the front line to fight against the Japanese.
At that time, Tianzhou ** Cen Dalu and Cen Dashou were also conscripted into the army. In order to prevent the granddaughters from repeating the mistakes of their grandson Cen Zhi, the Cen Dalu brothers were too young to serve as soldiers, so Washi asked the governor to let them lead troops to the front line in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to defeat the Japanese invaders. The Governor, seeing Vahn's courage and dignity, acceded to her request and granted it to her"Female general"Military rank, commanded by General Yu Dayou.
v 34.On the fifth day of the fourth month of the Jiajing period (1555), Hua was ordered to go to Caojing City to block the Japanese Kou, outnumbered, surrounded by the enemy, the battle was tragic, the leader Huang Wei, Zhong Fu and other fourteen people were killed, Hua was furious, personally wore a sword and danced the sword, and the horsehair and horsetail pulled out for the Japanese Kou from the sudden explosion of the formation were somewhat exhausted, and the fighting and bloodshed broke out suddenly.
On April 28 of the same year, the Japanese sank a whole group of thieves and about 3,000 men who participated in the pursuit of Washi at Pingwang Wangjiangjing (present-day North Zhouli Town, Jiaxing County). On 5 May, the enemy army passed through Jinshanwei and was routed at Washi. In June, during the Battle of Lujingba (present-day Suzhou, Jiangsu), Miss Hua led her troops to capture more than 300 warheads and burn more than 30 pirate ships.
According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty","(34th year of Jiajing) Tianzhou woman Hua was transferred to Suzhou and served as a soldier under the command of the general soldier Yu Dayou to resist the Japanese. Because she killed countless thieves, she and her two grandsons Cen Dashou and Dalu were ordered to reward two silver, and Yu Dayou ordered the military gate to reward them"。Hua was awarded the title of "Hua Shi by the imperial court" for his meritorious service in resisting the Japanese"Mrs. Erpin"Hence the name"Mrs. Fahrenheit"。
Soon, Zhang Jing, the chief military officer, experienced a wave of grief when he was framed and imprisoned by Yan Song, and died of illness shortly after returning to his hometown in his later years at the age of 59. "In 1989, villagers near Nadoutun Village in Tianzhou (now Tianyang) in Baise City, Guangxi Province, discovered a piece of rubble covering the moat of the tomb. ""Fish pond side"The inscription reads:"The tomb of Fahrenheit tycoon Genghis Khan, before the Ming Jiajing, specific! "This is to evoke memories of this hero.
