Chapter 33 Women: War Doesn't Let Women Go Away

Xinhai: Shaking China 张鸣 1885Words 2018-03-16
In the past thousands of years, wars were the business of men, and women were one of the targets of wars, the objects that men robbed.Romantic, there is the Trojan War for the beauty Helen, and not so romantic, there are thousands of fights for the treasure of children.People who advocate peace, or have no choice but to advocate peace, wisely propose "marriage", and offer women first before people call.Biologists take this very lightly, and say that human wars, like animals, are nothing more than competition for mating rights.Thinking about it, it's really hard to refute. However, on certain occasions, women will take the initiative to join in the war, and occasionally there will be a woman turned into a warrior.China has Mulan, and the West has Joan of Arc.However, Joan of Arc is a real person, but Hua Mulan is more like a legend.Such legends are becoming more and more strange in Chinese novels and dramas.In the famous story of the generals of the Yang family, the women in it are said to be stronger than the male heroes in martial arts. From Taijun She to Mu Guiying, in the end, all the men in the Yang family died, and the old lady She and the widows were able to lead the army expedition.When such a play was later performed for the British World War II hero Montgomery, it actually made him look down on Chinese men.There are too many cultural misunderstandings between China and the West.

In fact, the Englishman does not understand Chinese humor.China's wars, in general, are more completely exclusionary of women than those of the West.The Chinese don't understand romance, but they care more about competing for their children's treasures.In the legend, women who are more brave than men are just a little trick for the Chinese to ridicule men and heroes, just like most ethnic groups in the world like to laugh at men for being afraid of their wives.It's just that this kind of humor has an additional effect, which is to boost morale - women are in their early years, how can men not rush to be the first?No matter what, you can't be inferior to a woman!

This kind of war incentive also appeared in the Revolution of 1911.After the southern provinces became independent one after another, the revolutionaries declared a northern expedition.The women who were not used in the riots in the provinces were used this time.In the Northern Expedition organized by revolutionary parties in various places, there are women's Northern Expedition teams, or women's Northern Expedition death squads.Among them, the Guangdong women's Northern Expedition team really came to Nanjing with the Guangdong Northern Expedition Army.Judging from the old photos left behind, although the number of women's Northern Expedition teams in various places was small, all of them were dressed in full body, long and short guns, and bombs on their bodies, looking majestic.Such photos were probably prominently displayed in the newspapers of that year.Let the revolutionaries see it to lift their spirits, and let the non-revolutionaries feel discouraged.Those who participated in the Women's Northern Expedition later recalled that the revolutionary governments in various places attached great importance to the Women's Northern Expedition, asking for money for money, guns for guns, and clothing for clothing.Heroines, all in military uniform, are very energetic.Some members of the Women's Northern Expedition Squad were quite beautiful even by today's standards. For example, Shen Peizhen, the captain of the Hangzhou Women's Northern Expedition, and Shen Jingyin, the captain of the Shanghai Women's Northern Expedition, were both beautiful.Therefore, later Shen Jingyin married Huang Yu, one of the heads of the Shanghai Navy government, and from then on, the husband and wife would follow each other, and it was very beautiful.As for Shen Peizhen, there were countless romantic and non-romantic affairs.

Needless to say, even the Northern Expedition Army composed of hundreds of thousands of men from the Revolutionary Party did not have the possibility of the Northern Expedition.If they really wanted to fight, they probably wouldn't always beg Yuan Shikai to turn his back on him, but would say that as long as Yuan Shikai turned his back on him, they would give him the president.The Women's Northern Expedition Death Squad, no matter how many bombs each person hangs in the photo, basically has no possibility of participating in the war.Moreover, except for the members of the Guangdong Women's Northern Expedition, some of whom are real natural feet, the members of the women's death squads in other places are all female students, and most of them have liberated feet, that is, after binding their feet, they let go. Such feet , Marching and fighting are probably useless.In addition, although some of the women's Northern Expedition team had a little training, most of them were just putting on a show to sensationalize the audience.Wherever they go, there are hot news.Since it was not originally used for war, the women's Northern Expedition teams from all over the country disappeared without a trace after the peace talks between the North and the South and the Qing Dynasty's braids.Since most of them are female students, they are very popular, and most of them are married, so they can be good wives and mothers.Some people, after the Second Revolution, saw through the world of mortals, escaped into Buddhism, and spent their lives with green lights and yellow scrolls.There are only a very small number of heroes who have been refusing to stop, taking women's rights seriously, and always acting like death squads. In 1912, the Tongmenghui was reorganized into the Kuomintang. In order to accommodate the many small parties involved, it made no mention of equal rights for men and women in the party program.Shen Peizhen and Tang Qunying, the former women's death squad captains, came to the door.Song Jiaoren, the actual host of the Kuomintang, was slapped.In the end, it was Sun Yat-sen who came forward to settle the matter reluctantly.Probably because Sun Yat-sen is a handsome guy, the heroine's fists and feet were not used.But when the first Congress convened, the gatekeepers were not so lucky.Women did not have the right to vote in the parliamentary elections at that time, so the two captains of the death squads went to the door again, but the gatekeeper came out to block them.

Later, although the beautiful Shen Peizhen was as fierce as before, there were many scandals, and they were all big. It was related to Li Yuanhong and Yuan Shikai, a vice president and a president.It is said that she has a business card that reads: Student of the President.In fact, this kind of thing is nothing, since the big men of the Revolutionary Party have compromised with Yuan Shikai, and it is understandable that an official becomes an official, and a member of parliament becomes a member of parliament.Besides, he is handsome and informal, so he will naturally be targeted by the newspapers, just like when he was the captain of the Death Squad.Not only Shen Peizhen, Tang Qunying was not spared either. If there is no scandal, there will be negative news.It's just that when they were stared at, all the positive praises were sent out, but now that they are being stared at, it is all negative reports.Thus, the two heroines fought one after another, leading a group of heroines to smash the newspaper.Fortunately, at this time, the bomb hanging on his body was gone, so no one was killed.
