Qin Liangyu, a famous female general in Ming Dynasty.

When it comes to female heroes in history, everyone will think of Mulan who joined the army for her father; In the history of China, there is actually only one female general officially listed in the national compilation, Qin Liangyu. The deeds of this real heroine have been drowned by the torrent of years.

Qin Liangyu is a Miao woman. Although her family has been sinicized due to the influence of China culture, it still maintains the characteristics of strong Miao nationality and martial worship. In the first year of Wanli in Ming Shenzong, Qin Liangyu was born on the banks of Mingxi River in the suburb of Letian Town in the west of Zhongzhou, Sichuan. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the terrain is magnificent and the scenery is beautiful. It is the place where the Qin family lived for generations. His father, Qin Gui, is a well-read, well-informed and famous person. He has three men and one woman, Liangyu ranks third, his brother Qin Bangping and his younger brother Qin Minping.

Qin Liangyu, the only child in the family, was born as beautiful as flowers and pure as jade, smart and loved by her parents. My father not only teaches Liangyu poetry and calligraphy according to the manners of everyone in the Han nationality, but also does not forget the tradition of the Miao family. He trained her to dance guns and sticks, ride horses and shoot arrows since childhood. Liangyu grew up with her brothers. Not only has she achieved twice as much in poetry and calligraphy as her brothers, but she will never lose to them in martial arts. Her father often praises her as a strange girl. ?

In the 20th year of Ming Shenzong Wanli, Qin Liangyu, who had just turned 20, married Ma Qiancheng, the messenger of Fu Xuan, a stone pillar. Shizhu also belongs to Zhongzhou, not far from Qin Liangyu's family. This is a county dominated by Miao people, and the court set up Fu Xuan envoys to govern these Miao people who surrendered to Daming. Ma Qiancheng is not a Miao. His ancestral home is Fufeng, Shaanxi. Because of the outstanding exploits of his ancestors, he was appointed as Fu Xuan's ambassador to Shizhu, and his official position was passed down from generation to generation, and finally passed on to Ma Qiancheng. Because the stone pillars are remote and the folk customs are fierce, there are rebellions from time to time; Therefore, the most important duty of Special Envoy Fu Xuan is to train the army and maintain stability. When Qin Liangyu married Ma's family, it was a hero who found his place. She is proficient in martial arts. A few years later, she helped her husband train a brave "white-armed warrior".

The so-called "white-armed soldiers" are mainly equipped with white-armed spears, which were created by Qin Liangyu according to the local topographical features. They made long poles out of pure white wood, with hooks with blades at the top and hard iron rings at the bottom. When fighting, the hook can be cut and pulled, and the ring can be used as a hammer weapon. When necessary, dozens of spears can be used as tools for climbing mountains and walls, and cliffs can be climbed instantly. Ma Qiancheng relied on this white-armed soldier with thousands of people to attack in all directions, which made the Shizhu area peaceful for many years. After marriage, the husband sings with his wife, and life is very sweet. Soon, Qin Liangyu gave birth to a son named Xianglin.

In the 26th year of Wanli, Fu Xuan stationed in Bozhou made Yang Yinglong collude with nine local Miao tribes to raise flags to revolt. They attacked everywhere, burning and looting, which was extremely cruel. Bozhou is in Zunyi City, Guizhou Province. The terrain is steep, the mountains are high and the water is dangerous. Rely on the natural barrier, the rebels ran amok for a while. The imperial court sent Li Hualong, the governor of Sichuan, Guizhou and Huguang, to jointly suppress the rebel army, among which Ma Qiancheng and Qin Liangyu led 3,000 White Guards. Due to special equipment and long-term strict mountain training, the White Pole Army was very handy in the war in Bozhou, and often gave the rebels a surprise blow. No matter how high the mountain is, the White Army can come unexpectedly, just like a magic weapon falling from the sky, which makes the rebels feel frightened.

Finally, the insurgents mobilized all their forces to hold on to Bozhou City, and set up five checkpoints outside the city, namely, Dengkan, Sang Mu, Wujiang, Duhe and Loushanguan. Every checkpoint is guarded by elite soldiers, and Yang Yinglong wants to use it as an amulet. The attack on Dunkan was led by Qin Liangyu with 500 white soldiers as the main force. Yang Chaodong, commander of Deng Kan's garrison, saw that the other side's troops were thin and ready to swallow them at one fell swoop, so he pulled all his five thousand chosen men to the ground and arranged them in a dense formation. In the face of ten times her enemy, Qin Liangyu is fearless. Riding a peach blossom horse and holding a pike, she entered the enemy line majestically. It's just that when she cut left and right, enemy soldiers were killed everywhere she passed. The enemy poured into her body and wrapped her layer by layer. Unexpectedly, she became more and more brave in the Vietnam War, and her pike swung like a flying wheel and was invincible. Qin Liangyu, trapped in the uneven lines, cut down the enemy soldiers around him and slowly moved closer to the enemy general Yang Chaodong. When she came near, after a fierce fight, she suddenly jumped on her horse. Before the people around her could see clearly, she had grabbed Yang Chaodong on horseback, waving a spear in her right hand and firmly stopped the enemy generals in her left hand. When all the enemy soldiers saw the leader captured, they fell into a state of chaos. Qin Liangyu's white soldiers attacked them. Without a bite to eat, the enemy soldiers fled, and 5 thousand troops fled.

After capturing Deng Kan, he successfully won the three passes of Sang Mu, Wujiang and Duhe, and reached the Loushan Pass on the periphery of Bozhou. Loushanguan is a natural barrier outside Bozhou. The mountain is steep, and there is only one path in the pass, which can be described as "and one person can keep it, and ten thousand people can't force it." The main task of attacking Loushanguan fell to the white pole soldiers again. Due to the narrow road, it is impossible to pass a large number of military forces, so Qin Liangyu made a clever plan for her husband. Early this morning, Qin Liangyu and her husband, Ma Qian, tandem, attacked the pass along the right road. I saw two spears whistling up and down, and the enemy soldiers who blocked the pass fell one by one, and then the reinforcements could not rush up. When Qin Liangyu and his wife fought side by side and the enemy soldiers gathered more and more, thousands of white-pole troops suddenly surrounded them from both sides of the pass, and the enemy soldiers fled in defeat. It turns out that Qin Liangyu and his wife caught the enemy's attention while attacking head-on. Other white-pole soldiers climbed Shangguan with white-pole spears from the cliffs on both sides of the checkpoint, which gave the enemy an unexpected blow. After the capture of Loushanguan, the rebels lost their amulets, but the army rallied to capture Bozhou, the rebel stronghold, and Yang Yinglong's family set themselves on fire and died, and the rebellion was completely quelled. ?

When rewarding the meritorious military service, Shizhu Baiganbing made outstanding achievements and was listed as the first meritorious military service in South Sichuan Road. Qin Liangyu made great contributions to the war for the first time. In addition to receiving generous rewards, the reputation of "female generals" has spread far and wide.

On the way to the team's triumph, Ma Qiancheng was infected with summer heat because of the hot weather. After returning to Shizhu, Qiu Chengyun, the internal supervisor, was offended by disrespectful reception and was convicted and imprisoned by Qiu Chengyun. In prison, without treatment and rest, Ma Qiancheng became seriously ill and died.

After Ma Qiancheng's death, the court felt that he was innocent, so he still retained the hereditary position of his family's History of Fu Xuan in Shiqian. At this time, Ma Xianglin, the heir of Ma's family, was still young, and Chao Yan appointed her as her successor in view of Qin Liangyu's active combat and his civil and military skills.

Qin Liangyu is a strong woman. She endured the grief of losing her husband, resolutely took over the burden left by her husband, continued to train white-pole soldiers, managed the people of Shiqiao, and spared no effort to keep the peace and stability of the stone pillars.

Twenty years passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, before Wanli in Ming Shenzong, Manchu rose between the white mountains and black waters in the northeast, with Nurhachi as the emperor, openly challenging the Daming border. Ming Shenzong mobilized 80,000 troops to meet the enemy at the border, but it got off to a bad start. Eighty thousand troops were almost wiped out. The situation in Liaodong was critical, and Chao Yan readjusted the national military and military assistance. Qin Liangyu, who is 46 years old, still personally led 3,000 White Army soldiers, together with his brother, brother and son, to defend the border in the north.

In forty-eight years of Wanli, Qin Liangyu's White Guards fought several tough battles with the Manchu army, which dampened the spirit of some Qing soldiers. At this point, Ming Shenzong died, Guangzong succeeded to the throne, Guangzong died after only one month in office, and Mingjiazong acceded to the throne.

There were several emperors a few months ago, and the Ming court was out of control for a while. The Qing soldiers took advantage of the situation and captured Shenyang. The momentum is even more rampant. Qin Liangyu's eldest brother, Bang Ping, and his younger brother, Min Ping, crossed the Hunhe River to fight fiercely with the Qing soldiers in order to save Daming's losses. However, because of being outnumbered, Bang Ping died in battle and Min Ping was trapped. When Qin Liangyu heard the news, he personally led hundreds of white armed soldiers to cross the river and enter the tight encirclement, desperately trying to rescue his younger brother and recapture the body. Later, because of Qin Liangyu's wisdom and courage, the court appointed her as the commander-in-chief guarding Shanhaiguan. Shanhaiguan is the only way from the northeast to the mainland. The Qing army repeatedly sent heavy troops to challenge the pass, but Qin Liangyu was unmoved and ordered his men to reinforce the defense, which finally made the Qing army unable to succeed. Once, Qin Liangyu's son, Ma Xianglin, was shot by the enemy's arrow when he was patrolling the customs. He reluctantly pulled out the arrow cluster, assisted the bow and arrow to shoot at the distant enemy, and fired three arrows in succession, killing three enemies. The generals of the Qing army were so frightened that they dared not come to Shanhaiguan to provoke them easily.

My brother died and my son was injured, so Qin Liangyu wrote to the emperor, stating the fighting and casualties of his army. Jiazong was deeply moved, and gave Qin Liangyu the second official uniform, and appointed his son Ma Xianglin as the commander-in-chief, followed Qin Bangping as the governor, conferred the post of Min Ping as a golden officer, and rewarded the soldiers with white poles.

Later, the Qing soldiers temporarily gave up harassing the border, and Qin Liangyu returned to Shizhu. When I came back, I was on my way to the luxurious Chongming Uprising in Fu Xuan, Yongning. Fanlong, a party member of luxury Chongming, occupied Chongqing. I heard that Qin Liangyu was plotting to return to the stone pillar, and immediately sent someone to contact her with gold and silver gifts, wanting to ask her to send troops; Qin Liangyu great anger way; "I am grateful to North Korea, and I want to serve my country. How can I associate with traitors! " Immediately cut off the thief, sent his troops in a hurry, and returned to Jiangxi to go to Chongqing, only to defeat Fan Longzhi's soldiers and capture Chongqing. Then, she led the army straight to Chengdu, drove away the luxurious Chongming department that besieged Chengdu, and successively won several camps such as Hongyadun, Cannongji and Qingshan Dun, thus completely destroying the rebels. When Chao Xuan heard the news, he named Qin Liangyu as the viceroy and worshipped him as the company commander of Shibi, in order to reward him for his bloody exploits.

When Chengdu was cleared and Qin Liangyu led the White Robe Army to ride into the city, Chengdu citizens flocked to the streets to help the elderly and bring up the young, vying to see the elegant demeanour of the female general. At this time, Qin Liangyu was in her fifties, and decades of military career, instead of urging her to get old, tempered her more and more. I saw her riding a peach blossom immediately, with rosy cheeks, bright eyes, tall and straight posture, imposing manner, a general style, but mellow. Chengdu people regard her as a god and burn incense and bow down on the road she walked. This article comes from the encyclopedia of history. com。

Governor Zhu Xieyuan gave a banquet to celebrate the success of Qin Liangyu and other ministries. Qin Liangyu was so cool that he sat at a table with local officials and had a drink. When the wine was hot, an official of the governor's government near the seat, perhaps fascinated by Qin Liangyu's red expression, stretched out a hand from under the table, grabbed her skirt and stroked it; Qin Liangyu was very upset, quietly pulled out his sabre and cut off his skirt in one fell swoop. Everyone here was shocked, but Qin Liangyu kept a straight face and still raised his glass and laughed, while the rude official left his seat in shame.

A few years later, in Shuixi, Guizhou, there was a gangster named An Bangyan, who established himself as the king of Luodian, recruited troops and quickly occupied the land thousands of miles west of Guiyang. The court also ordered Qin Liangyu to lead the soldiers of the White Guards to quell the chaos in Guizhou. Qin Liangyu resolutely put down the rebellion and destroyed Anbang Yan, but he also lost his younger brother Qin Minping. This content is provided by historical Li Shida Quan.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Ming Xizong died, and Ming Sizong inherited the unification. Qing soldiers took advantage of the imperial court to change emperors, and took Mongols as guides to cross the Great Wall from Longjing Pass and go straight to Tongzhou. The situation in the capital is very urgent. The Ming court wrote to him again today at the edge of the town. Of course, he could not forget to transfer Qin Liangyu, the female general who actively resisted the Qing Dynasty last time. Qin Liangyu obeyed orders, led her white armed soldiers to the capital day and night, and took out all their belongings as pay to make up for the shortage of military supplies caused by years of fighting.

Qin Liangyu's troops and Qing soldiers met outside the capital, and before they could camp, they started an all-out attack. Qin Liangyu, 55 years old, is dancing with a white spear, like snow flying and pear floating. Where the frontier passed, the Qing soldiers fell to the ground or separated their hands and feet; All the white armed soldiers, without exception, were fierce as tigers, and the Qing soldiers fled. Soon, Qin Liangyu successively recovered Luozhou and Yongping and rescued the siege of Beijing.

After hearing the good news, Ming Sizong sent a special envoy to inspect the army with a large amount of rewards, and summoned the legendary female general Qin Liangyu on the platform. After seeing the female general, Ming Sizong was deeply moved and wrote four poems, praising her achievements and giving them to Qin Liangyu with a kiss:

Learn to make a map of Sichuan, and the mandarin duck sleeve holds the military emblem;

Why does the general want to be a husband?

Cut the brocade robe, and the peach blossom will grow immediately;

There are many strange people in the world who will travel thousands of miles.

Lu Sufeng vowed not to leave, forbearing blood and not putting rouge on it;

The song of triumph will soon be clear, and it is not the time for Zhaojun to go out.

Sweep the Huns with a dustpan and cheer;

Let's take a look at him. On the pavilion in the year of Lin, Dan Qing first drew a picture of beauty.

Qin Liangyu was highly praised by the four hymns written by the emperor, which was a rare honor. After kowtowing to the emperor, Qin Liangyu withdrew his troops to Bian Shi.

Ten years later, Zhang Ruchuan, an insurgent army, and Qin Liangyu, who was over sixty, went into battle again, with the same style. She led the white-pole soldiers, Lien Chan won a great victory, lifted the siege of Taiping, strangled Luo Rucai in Wushan, beheaded Dongshan Shuaihu in Tanjiaping, and made Zhang's army suffer a lot in Sichuan. However, due to repeated military disasters in Sichuan, the state treasury is empty, and the lost troops and salaries cannot be supplemented; The rebels were powerful and flooded into Sichuan and Sichuan. The officers and men could not win the whole battle. Qin could do nothing but surrender the stone pillars.

At this time, the capital city has been breached by the rebel army led by Li Zicheng, and Ming Sizong hanged himself in Jingshan Park. The Ming Dynasty finally collapsed in the stormy weather, and Li Zicheng entered the capital city, and Zhang wanted to firmly control Sichuan and Shu as a stronghold. Zhang Dong's expedition to the west covered almost the whole of Sichuan, but he was helpless about Shijiao, a tiny place. Qin Liangyu, who is sixty-eight years old, took her battle-hardened and death-defying white armed soldiers, not afraid of * * *. Until the fall of Zhang, the insurgents failed to step into the stone pillar.

After the Duanyang Festival in the fifth year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty, 75-year-old Qin Liangyu just stepped off the Peach Blossom Horse after reviewing the white pole soldiers, and his body suddenly tilted away, ending his heroic career as a soldier.

It is said that Qin Liangyu's former residence and the armor weapons she used are still preserved in Shizhu County, Sichuan Province. The local people still mention her as a treasure, and they are all proud of this female general who once had such a "military symbol of Yuanyang Sleeve" in her hometown.
