"Don't worry, for someone who is so afraid of death, I will definitely save my life." Luo Tian pulled the next thing, and after some fussing, he suddenly saw a portrait behind a black wooden box.
This portrait is very interesting. Not to mention the ancient paintings, it is actually inlaid with precious stones. It is a mosaic.
It was a very dazzling way of inlaying gems on the surface of the painting. What Luo Tian cared about was not the gems inlaid on the painting, but the woman in the painting.
"Any questions?"
"Yes." Luo Tian said: "The woman in the painting is being peeked at."
"How do you know?" The third child looked at the painting. The woman in the painting was dressed in neat military uniforms. There was a female army in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. This outfit was exactly how the army looked at that time. The woman was fetching water from the well, bending down.
Waist, the scene in this portrait is very realistic.
"What a realistic picture." Luo Tian said: "The painting is not very exquisite, and it is not produced by a famous painter, but it is cherished, especially the gems are inlaid in the woman's hair. The owner of this painting must be very fond of the painting.
Luo Tian took a closer look at the woman, and suddenly saw two words vaguely written on the woman's clothes. He thought it was the woman's name. He carefully lifted the painting down and looked at it carefully against the light - "Xuanjiao."
"
The third child was startled: "What did you just say?"
"The woman in this painting is most likely Hong Xuanjiao." Luo Tian was very familiar with this female general. It was this name that sparked a big discussion. There was much controversy as to whether she really existed.
The earliest mention of this female general is "The Short Biography of Hong Xuan Jiao", which describes it like this: "Hong Xuan Jiao was called Xiao Wang Niang in the army, sister of the Heavenly King, and the noble wife of the Western King Xiao Dynasty. She was under thirty years old and was extremely beautiful.
, extraordinarily brave, with hundreds of female soldiers, good at fighting, and meritorious in all directions. Queen Xiao and the female soldiers were both born in Guangxi, deeply engrossed in the Xiuquan sect, and worshiped the Emperor of Heaven before every battle. She went into battle with light makeup, brandished her swords, and fell into the snow with a sharp edge.
. Riding on a crimson horse, with a white gauze on the saddle waist, long and fair body, bright green color on the skirt. Facing the wind, raising her plain wrists, commanding the female troops, wearing robes and wearing a jumble of sounds, looking at them as if they were gods. The female soldiers all have silk banners and silver shields.
While the battle was in full swing, Queen Xiao took off her clothes and rode her horse, entering and exiting the Manchu Army. Her inner clothes were wrapped in apricot yellow silk, her sword skills were superb, her clothes had an illusory color, and the entire army was horrified."
Hong Xuanjiao is the half-sister of Hong Xiuquan. Hong Xiuquan’s father, Hong Guoyou, married three wives and gave birth to three sons and one daughter. Hong Xiuquan and Hong Xuanjiao were born to the second concubine and the third concubine respectively. After Hong Guoyou’s death, the family fell into decline.
, the sons and daughters divided things to make a living. After repeated attempts, Hong Xiuquan founded the God Society and later launched the Taiping Rebellion. Hong Xuanjiao joined a gang of wandering artists and made a living by performing arts. In the artist group, Hong Xuanjiao learned a lot.
Good work.
One time, Hong Xuanjiao went to Wuxuan Luludong to perform as a performer. Xiao Chaogui, a son of a wealthy local farmer, fell in love with Hong Xuanjiao at first sight and wanted to redeem her and marry her. Hong Xuanjiao was tired of the wandering life of a performer, so she agreed to Xiao Chaogui's proposal. Xiao Chaogui
He redeemed her body for fifty taels of silver and welcomed her into the Xiao family. However, Hong Xuanjiao and Xiao Chaogui only lived together and did not get married through a matchmaker. Later, Xiao Chaogui and Hong Xuanjiao participated in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising together. The Taiping Army founded the Republic of China in Yong'an.
, Hong Xiuquan presided over the marriage and married Hong Xuanjiao to Xiao Chaogui, who had been crowned the King of the West. Hong Xuanjiao became the "Princess of the West". After the Taiping Army left Yong'an, it passed through Guilin and Liuzhou and entered Hunan. The war was extremely fierce. During the fierce battle at the coir ferry, the Southern King Feng Yun
He was killed by a cannon in the mountains; during the siege of Changsha City, the Western King Xiao Chaogui was killed in battle. Hong Xuanjiao, who was newly married, became a widow.
There is a saying that there are many disputes at the widow's door. Various stories have been spread about Hong Xuanjiao. For example, her political skills are said to be as good as Wu Zetian and Cixi. Hong Xuanjiao was in Taiping
The main function of the army is to manage the "women's camp". At the beginning of the Taiping Army uprising, everyone was allowed to bring their family members with them to move with the camp. In order to facilitate management and operations, at Hong Xuanjiao's suggestion, all the women's family members were gathered together and the "women's camp" was established.
Hong Xuanjiao was appointed commander. After the capital was established in Nanjing, the war temporarily stopped, so the "Women's Camp" was changed to the "Women's Pavilion", with Hong Xuanjiao still in charge.
It is said that Hong Xuanjiao was ill and bedridden when she was young. When she was so ill, she seemed to see an old man calling her and saying to her: "Ten years later, there will be a man from the east who will teach you how to do things."
Worship God, you must obey sincerely." After Hong Xiuquan launched the Taiping Movement, Hong Xuanjiao believed that what she saw during her illness was God, and that she had the ability to talk directly to God. At that time, only two people in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had such ability. One was the King of Heaven.
Hong Xiuquan himself can "ascend to heaven"; the other is Dongwang Yang Xiuqing, who can convey the orders of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother.
Hong Xuanjiao wanted to be the third one, so she imitated Hong Xiuquan's method and ascended to heaven. Who would have thought that Hong Xuanjiao's actions broke the political structure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Neither the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan nor the East King Yang Xiuqing recognized that Hong Xuanjiao had such an ability. Yang Xiuqing borrowed "
"Heavenly Father Comes Down to Earth" severely punished her sixty times. The King of Heaven also scolded Hong Xuanjiao for "disobeying heaven's orders and talking nonsense." From then on, Hong Xuanjiao became much more passive in politics and was not as enthusiastic and simple as before.
However, Hong Xuanjiao's political energy still existed, and she had a major relationship with the occurrence of the Tianjing Incident. Yang Xiuqing made outstanding contributions in the early stages of the development of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and began to rely on his high achievements. In the end, the "Long Live the Long Live" event occurred.
Hong Xuanjiao persuaded his brother Hong Xiuquan to get rid of Yang Xiuqing at that time. At first Hong Xiuquan couldn't bear to do it, saying: "He and I are good brothers who live and die together and share weal and woe. How can we bear to do it?" Hong Xuanjiao said: "If God alone can't bear it,
Then everyone in heaven will have to endure Yang Xiuqing's tyranny." Hong Xiuquan was moved and secretly summoned Wei Changhui back to Tianjing to kill Yang Xiuqing and burn down the East Palace.
Unofficial historians said that Hong Xuanjiao instigated her brother to launch the Tianjing Incident because she was "slutty" and "jealous". They said that Hong Xuanjiao had an affair with the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing after Xiao Chaogui's death.
After entering Tianjing, Yang Xiuqing became increasingly domineering and alienated Hong Xuanjiao, and instead fell in love with the new female champion Fu Shanxiang. Angry, Hong Xuanjiao committed herself to the Northern King Wei Changhui, and encouraged the Tianwang and the Northern King to launch a coup to kill Yang Xiuqing and Fu Shanxiang. It is said that on the day of the incident, Dong
There was a grand banquet in the palace. Hong Xuanjiao and others attended.
Hong Xuanjiao winked at Wei Changhui at the banquet, and Wei Changhui drew his sword and killed Yang Xiuqing. Hong Xuanjiao and others relied on the troops that had been ambushed in advance to eradicate Yang Xiuqing's party. In this way, Hong Xuanjiao was regarded as an important participant and executor of the Tianjing Incident.
Some notes even vividly stated that Yang Xiuqing and Fu Shanxiang were killed when they were in the same room. Afterwards, Hong Xuanjiao entered the East Prince's Mansion and saw Fu Shanxiang's mutilated body, and said bitterly, "The demon maid also has this day." This account can be seen in various places.
