The legend of Mulan is almost universally known in China, but it is just a story hyped in literary works, and it is not a real person. But in the land of Bashu in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, there was a female general named Qin Liangyu, who was the real-life version of Hua Mulan. She took her husband to occupy a place in the army, went north to fight against the Jin Dynasty, and made great contributions in China's military history. The great poet Guo Moruo wrote a poem for her, praising her outstanding military exploits, which made her famous all over the world and passed down to future generations. Resourceful and ambitious. So, who is this Qin Liangyu, and what kind of life legend has he experienced? I was honored to read relevant historical materials and found that Qin Liangyu and himself were fellow villagers, both from Sichuan. According to historical records, Qin Liangyu, whose real name was Su Zhen, was born in the second year of the Ming Dynasty on the banks of Mingyu Creek in the suburbs of Xiletian Town, Zhongzhou, Sichuan. Although Zhong County is now part of Chongqing, it does not affect the Bashu community. Let us talk less about Qin Liangyu. Her hometown is said to be surrounded by mountains and rivers, with majestic terrain and beautiful scenery. The Qin family has lived in this beautiful place for generations, leading a happy and sweet life. Qin Liangyu’s father’s name is Qin Hui. He has read poetry and books since he was a child, and passed Gong Sheng's exam. He is a well-known figure in the local area and enjoys a high social status. County officials particularly respect him. Indeed, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, as long as literati achieved academic status or above, they would basically become important local intellectuals and be respected by officials and even wealthy businessmen. Because his father was an educated man and knew martial arts, he paid special attention to training Qin Liangyu, who liked to talk about war in troubled times. Qin Kuihua asked a teacher to teach her daughter literature and martial arts, and encouraged her to fight for the country when she grew up. Qin Hui likes Qin Liangyu very much and thinks that although she is a girl, she is smart and should learn culture and martial arts. Although you may not be able to take charge of national affairs in the future, you can at least learn to defend yourself to avoid becoming a prey in a war. Qin Liangyu knew very well that her father had good intentions and had worked very hard since she was a child. In addition to teaching chapters and verses and studying classics and history, she also practiced martial arts with her father. Through long-term efforts, Qin Liangyu not only stabbed people with spear skills, but also read military books thoroughly and was proficient in strategy, which showed his extraordinary cultural and military talents. Seeing that his daughter was so outstanding, Qin Hui praised everyone and said: If possible, your brothers cannot be crowned. I don't deserve you. Qin Liangyu was not proud to praise his father when he heard his words. He secretly made a grand plan and boldly replied, "Both the Bustard City and the female soldiers can do nothing about it." Xiu Zhonghui married a good husband. Because he received a good family education since childhood, Qin Liangyu not only has a high level of education, but also can write poems and lyrics, and his martial arts is also quite good. She is well-known in the local area and is a good woman in Xiuzhonghui. Because of her excellence, when she reached the age of marriage, Qin Liangyu did not like her beloved husband, because she had a very high vision in choosing a mate, which is despised by most people. At that time, there was an officer named Cao Gao in Zhongzhou who was very domineering. Seeing that Qin Liangyu was beautiful and tall, just like the charming models nowadays, she wanted to marry into a rich family. Therefore, Cao Gao invited many matchmakers to Qin Liangyu's house to act as matchmakers, but they were all flatly rejected by Qin Liangyu. If the soft one wasn't useless, Cao Gao came up with a cruel and sinister move, but he came up with a poisonous plan to harm her. At that time, with the help of his family, Cao Gao bribed relevant departments and falsely claimed that Qin Liangyu supported the anti-tax struggle, so he was sent to prison and sentenced. Later, Qin Hui rescued Qin Liangyu through family connections and spent a lot of money to smooth things over. Even though Cao Gao was so arrogant, Qin Liangyu still didn't give in without me, and still hasn't. t agrees with Cao Gao’s proposal. In order to stimulate Cao Gao and solve his life-long event, Qin Liangyu held a grand competition to recruit relatives at home after he was released from prison. Cao Cao had no choice but to organize an army
The two Qin families quickly married, and Cao Gao had no choice but to make a futile effort and became the biggest loser. After getting married, Qin Liangyu went to her husband's house. Because Shitou is located in a remote area and the folk customs are fierce, rebellions occur from time to time. As an envoy, Ma Qiancheng's most important responsibility is to train the army, maintain social stability, and protect the safety of the people. At this moment, Qin Liangyu had a place to shine. She was originally good at martial arts. At first, she only used it in self-defense. Now she can help her husband train seriously and serve the motherland. Seeing that his wife was so good at martial arts, Qian Cheng had no objection to her joining the army. She has been in the army and I admire and respect her very much. The husband and wife respect each other as guests and often discuss border defense matters together. In addition to training, Qin Liangyu is also an excellent weapons expert. She and her American husband had an elite force of several thousand men. The soldiers used white wood to chop a spear into a unique spear with a hook at one end and a ring at the other end, which was called a white-armed soldier. Under Qin Liangyu's training, the army became agile and brave. Say: When you are controlled, it is severe, and every time you march, you will be awed by your majesty. It probably means that the white-pole soldiers trained by Qin Liangyu are very disciplined. During the march, the troops were uniform and uniform, and the enemy troops near and far were frightened by the news. Twenty-seven years after her husband went out to show his power, Yang Yinglong, the comfort envoy of Bozhou, was a typical corrupt official. He not only ruled the local fish village, but also refused to accept the court's arrangements and conspired to incite rebellion. As for Zunyi, anyone who has studied the history of the Communist Party of China knows that the Zunyi Conference was held here, and the geographical location is very important. This place has an advantage, that is, the terrain is steep, with high mountains and dangerous waters, which can serve as a natural defensive barrier. Instead of making good use of this dangerous place to fight against the Japanese invaders and contribute to the country, Yang Yinglong gathered a mob and started a rebellion against the Ming government.
Under this severe situation, in February 1600, the Ming government assembled heavy troops and divided them into eight groups to encircle and suppress Yang Yinglong's rebels. With her husband Ma Qiancheng, 500 soldiers went to support the government forces and fight fiercely with the rebels. Due to their special equipment and long-term rigorous mountain training, the Baigan soldiers were very handy in the Bozhou War and dealt an unexpected blow to the rebels. They were like magic soldiers descending from the sky, effectively combating the arrogance of the rebels. Yang Yinglong, the leader of the rebel army, saw that he could not defeat the fierce attack of the government troops, so he changed his fighting method and prepared to defend Bozhou. He mobilized all the troops and set up five checkpoints, namely Denkan, Sangmu, Wujiang, Duhe and Loushanguan. Each checkpoint is guarded by a good soldier who wants to use it as a talisman. At that time, in the battle against Denkan, Qin Liangyu led 500 white pole soldiers as the main force to attack the 5,000 rebel soldiers. Qin Liangyu was not afraid of enemies ten times his own. She personally rode a peach blossom horse and held a spear. She majestically entered the enemy's position, hugging her left and right, running around, sweeping away fallen leaves like the autumn wind, and killed dozens of rebels. This is a bit like the heroic performance in the war. Taking off the heads of enemy generals is like no one's business. But Qin Liangyu has this strength, because according to research, she is 1.86 meters tall and is particularly powerful in military uniform. Xiang Yu was only 1.8 meters back then. Among the enemy troops, Qin Liangyu became more and more brave, and her soldiers were encouraged to fight to the death. After a fierce fight, Qin Liangyu suddenly interrupted his horse, jumped up, grabbed the enemy general Yang Chaodong on the horse, brandished a spear with his right hand, and firmly restrained the enemy with his left hand. As the saying goes, the thief catches the thief first. If the leader has been caught, there is no point in continuing the fight. The rebels immediately panicked and had no intention of fighting. They fled wounded, and the army of five thousand men was completely dispersed. After capturing Denggan, Qin Liangyu led his army to attack Loushanguan. Due to the narrow road, the troops could not pass the large military force
Soon, Qin Liangyu led the troops to capture Loushanguan. Meanwhile, other government forces conquered other barriers. At this moment the rebels had to die and the situation was over. As a result, the army easily captured Bozhou City, the rebel base camp. Yang Yinglong's family had no choice but to set themselves on fire, and the rebellion was completely suppressed. Speaking of rewards for meritorious service, the white-pole soldiers led by Ma Qiancheng and his wife had outstanding military exploits and were listed as the first meritorious army in southern Sichuan by the court. Qin Liangyu's first battle showed his outstanding military talents and made great contributions to the Ming court. In addition to generous rewards, the reputation of female generals also spread widely. In the 41st year of Jin Wanli's reign after the war, Qin Liangyu's husband Ma Qiancheng was unfortunately framed by the eunuch Qiu Chengyun and later died in Yunyang Prison. The death of her husband made Qin Liangyu very sad. She didn't know who to tell her pain. For a long time, she was depressed. However, her family's suffering did not affect Qin Liangyu's patriotic integrity. When the country needed her, she immediately stood up and participated in the battle to defend the motherland. Because of Qin Liangyu's military exploits, after Ma Qian became Xiahou, she served as a servant. At this time, the rise of Northeastern Manchuria posed a serious threat to the Ming court. In the forty-seventh year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army was defeated by the Hou Jin army in Sarhu. Hearing the alarm, they were terrified and Liaodong officers and soldiers pretended to be dead and refused to fight. The imperial court had no choice but to urgently dispatch Yongshun, Baojing, Shi, Youyang and other chieftain soldiers to Liaoning for rescue. Qin Liangyu ordered thousands of soldiers to rush to the front line and participate in the battle against Hou Jin. According to records, in the first year of tomorrow, the Qing army captured Shenyang outside the Pass with great momentum and threatened to attack Beijing. At this time, Qin Liangyu sent his elder brother Bangping and younger brother Minping as vanguards to cross the Hun River to fight against the Qing soldiers. Unfortunately, they were outnumbered, and Bang Ping died on the battlefield, while Min Ping was trapped. After Qin Liangyu heard the news, he immediately led his white-pole soldiers to forcefully cross the Hun River and enter the siege, desperately trying to rescue his brother and get his body back. In the first battle, Qin Liangyu sacrificed his younger brother and felt very heavy. Although, under difficult conditions, they killed thousands of enemies and seriously injured Qing soldiers, it was a bloody battle and paid a heavy price. The death of a relative made Qin Liangyu sad and even more angry. She wrote to the Ming Emperor, saying that she would fight to the death to defeat the Qing army and serve the motherland. When Taizu Xi of the Ming Dynasty learned about the situation, he was greatly moved and immediately issued an edict to give Qin Liangyu his second official service and make him the royal wife. He appointed his son Ma Xianglin as the governor, posthumously appointed his younger brother Qin Bangping as the governor, and his younger brother Qin Minping as the governor, and rewarded all soldiers with white poles. Receiving the emperor's commendation, Qin Liangyu worked harder. She immediately sent a special envoy to the capital to rush out 1,500 winter coats and retired soldiers, and reorganized the rest. Then, she led three thousand elite soldiers straight to Guan Yu and ordered her men to strengthen their defenses so that the nomads behind could not break through. When Qin Liangyu was in the town, he not only strengthened the military equipment, but also made great efforts to guard the troops, which effectively curbed the arrogance of the soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty going south. He also made great efforts to relieve the hungry people inside and outside the pass, appease the people and create a relatively stable environment. Under the leadership of Qin Liangyu, the defense was impregnable and became an insurmountable barrier for the soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty. On the way, Qin Liangyu returned to Sichuan to expand his army and aid the Liao Dynasty. During this period, he suppressed the rebellions in Chengdu, Chongqing, and Guizhou, and regained the three places for the imperial court. Joe attached to the fan booth. Later in the second year, the Qing army detoured to Xifengkou, captured Zunhua, and reached the city of Beijing. The situation is extremely serious. Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly issued an edict to recruit American troops and military power from all over the world. After hearing the news, Qin Liangyu immediately became a rich man
Second: The golden robe was cut by hand, and the peach blossom immediately invited the first tassel. How many strange people are there in the world, who would travel thousands of miles on the battlefield? Three: Land Rover swears to be diligent when he is hungry, and he is rouge and bloody when he drinks. The song was sung immediately, not when Zhaojun left the fortress. Fourth, the Land Rover was swept away with a dustpan, and a group of people shouted happily. Look at him.
On the pavilion, Danqing first drew a beautiful picture. The emperor personally wrote four poems praising a female general, which was rare since the beginning of Pangu. It is really rare for a Qin Liangyu woman to enjoy such a high honor. But her achievements deserve such recognition. Because the Hou Jin army was approaching the city at that time, many generals were afraid of death. Only Qin Liangyu turned the tide, which is somewhat similar to a plot in the biography of Qin Liangyu in Ming Dynasty. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the coalition forces he led approached the capital, but no army took the lead in attacking. Finally, when it couldn't stand it anymore, it nodded and went to assassinate it alone. The heroic spirit was admirable. Therefore, Qin Liangyu's feat made Emperor Chongzhen deeply moved. He regarded Qin Liangyu as a hero who saved people and said he would do his best. Danqing first drew a beautiful picture.
