A rebellious leader like Tang Sayer naturally can't be classified into this category.
In the Liang period of the Southern Dynasty, from the Chen Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, there was a female general who was not well known.
She is Mrs. Xian.
......
Mrs. Xian (Nian), a native of the Yue ethnic group in southern Guangdong, was the leader of the Lingnan tribe during the Liang, Chen, and Sui dynasties.
Mrs. Xian was born in the third year of Liang Pingping (522) in the Xian family of Gaoliang County, and according to legend, her real name was Ah Ying.
The history books record her family: "Shi is the leader of South Vietnam, across the cave, and there are more than 100,000 tribes. Mrs. is young and wise, more strategic, in her parents' house, she follows the people, can march the military division, and subdue the Yue. Every persuasion of relatives is good, and faith and righteousness are married to their hometown. The customs of the Yue people, good to attack, the wife and brother of the Southern Liang Prefecture stabbed Shi Ting, relying on its wealth and strength, invaded the county, and the ridge was bitter. Mrs. has many rules, and the grievances have stopped, and Hainan and Dan'er have more than 1,000 holes."
In the first year of Liang Datong (535), when Mrs. Xian was fourteen years old, Feng Rong, the assassin of Luozhou, heard that Mrs. Xian was talented, so he asked his son Gao Liang (now Yangjiangxi, Guangdong) Taishou Feng Bao to marry her. Feng Rong was originally a descendant of Beiyan Miao, and his first Feng Ye led the people to float to the south, settled in Xinhui, successively served as a pastor, and passed to Feng Rong three times. Because he was an outsider, Feng Rong was not convinced by Gao Liangren. After Mrs. Xian arrived, she admonished her clan to respect local customs and habits. Whenever she and Feng Bao deal with a lawsuit, she also acts in accordance with the law and does not show favoritism to those who break the law in her own clan. In this way, Feng's prestige in the local area was established, and "since then, the decrees have been orderly, and no one dares to disobey them."

Whenever she and Feng Bao deal with a lawsuit, she also acts in accordance with the law and does not show favoritism to those who break the law in her own clan. In this way, Feng's prestige in the local area was established, and "since then, the decrees have been orderly, and no one dares to disobey them."
Xiao Bo, the governor of Guangzhou, recruited troops to help relieve the siege, but Li Qianshi, the assassin of Gaozhou, refused to go, but sent someone to summon Feng Bao. Feng Bao wanted to go, but was stopped by Mrs. Xian, he said: "If the assassin does not meet the call of Taishou for no reason, he will want to deceive the king and turn against him." Feng Bao asked why, and Mrs. Xian said: "The assassin was called to Taiwan, but he was called sick, cast troops to gather people, and then called the king." If the present person goes, he will leave the quality and chase after the king and the soldiers. This meaning can be seen, and there is no way to do it, in order to observe its potential".
A few days later, Li Qianshi really raised troops against Liang and sent the commander Du Pinglu to lead his troops into the stone to echo Hou Jing. Mrs. Xian believed: "Ping captives, Xiao generals, led the troops into the rock, that is, they refused to be with the officers and soldiers, and they did not return." Moving to the state, there is nothing to do. If you go to your own devices, there will be a battle. It is advisable to send a deceitful person, humble and polite, and the cloud body does not dare to come out, and wants to send a woman to participate. When he hears it, he will have no worries. So I will take more than a thousand people, carry sundries, sing and lose, and get to the gate, and the thief will be able to get it." Feng Bao acted according to the plan, and Li Qianshi really believed it and was unguarded. Mrs. Xian personally led more than 1,000 people to "carry sundries and sing words" ("Sui Shu Biography of Mrs. Xianguo") and went to Dagaokou. To the stone, he suddenly attacked, won a big victory, and Li Qianshi was defeated and took away to protect Ningdu. Madame Xian took advantage of the victory to join the troops of Chen Baxian, the Marquis of the Great Wall. After returning, Madame Xian said to Feng Bao: "Chen Dudu is terrifying and has won the hearts of the people. I think this person will be able to pacify the thief, and you should be generous.
These opinions are mainly from the "Book of Sui: The Biography of the Lady of the State of Chen", which shows the good knowledge of current affairs and military intelligence of the Lady Xian.
In the second year of Chen Yongding (557), Feng Bao died, Lingbiao was in turmoil, and Mrs. Xian appeased the Baiyue tribes and made the territory safe. and sent his son, the nine-year-old Feng Fu, to lead the leader of Baiyue to Danyang. Emperor Wu of Chen worshiped Feng Fu as the county guard of Yangchun County (now Yangjiang, Guangdong).
In the first year of Chen Taijian (569), Ouyang Su, the assassin of Guangzhou, rebelled and summoned Feng Fu to Gao'an, trying to pull him to oppose Chen. Feng Fu sent someone to inform his mother. When Mrs. Xian learned about it, she said: "I am loyal, and after two generations, I cannot spare you and disgrace the country."
Subsequently, Mrs. Xian sent troops to refuse the border, and led the Baiyue troops to attack Zhang Zhaoda, the general sent by the Chen Dynasty to conquer, inside and outside, so that Ouyang Su's army was defeated and captured. Feng Fu was named the Marquis of Xindu by Chen Baxian because of his mother's meritorious service in quelling the rebellion, and he was transferred to Shilong (ruled in the northeast of present-day Huazhou, Guangdong) Taishou. Mrs. Xian was named Mrs. Shilong, the lady of the Zhonglang General, and took a ride on the embroidered banner oil and horse, and gave a lecture to the building, and the book was like the ritual of the history of the thorn.
In February, Emperor Wen of Sui sent Wei Xun, the governor of Jiangzhou, to pacify Lingnan, but was stopped by Chen's general Xu Fan in Nankang. Wei Xun went to the bottom of the ridge and did not dare to enter. Yang Guang, the king of the Jin Dynasty, ordered the captured Empress Chen to write a letter to Madame Xian, "telling the country to perish" and asking Madame Xian to return to the Sui Dynasty. The letter also has the rhino staff and military talisman offered by Mrs. Xian that year as evidence. After Mrs. Xian saw it, she knew that Chen was dead, so she "gathered thousands of leaders and wept all day long". and sent his grandson Feng Soul to lead his troops to welcome Wei Xun into Guangzhou. At this point, Lingnan has been decided. Feng Soul was named the third secretary of Yitong by the Sui Dynasty, and Mrs. Xian was registered as Mrs. Song Kangjun.
In the tenth year of Emperor Kaihuang of the Sui Dynasty (590), Wang Zhongxuan, a general of Panyu, raised troops against the Sui, and many leaders in Lingnan also responded with troops. Wang Zhongxuan besieged Wei Wei in Guangzhou, garrisoned Hengling, and Wei Wei died in the middle of the arrow. Mrs. Xi sent her grandson Feng Xuan to rescue Guangzhou, but Feng Xuan had a close relationship with Wang Zhongxuan's subordinate general, Chen Fozhi, a wealthy family in Lushui (now Luoding, Guangdong), so he did not move and delayed the fighter. When Mrs. Xi found out, she was furious, imprisoned Feng Xuan, and sent another grandson, Feng An, to fight against the rebels, and joined forces with the Sui official army, defeating Wang Zhongxuan. After being pacified, Mrs. Xian put on armor and rode a horse, and personally escorted Pei Ju, the envoy of Sui Zhaofu, to patrol the states, and Lingnan was decided. At that time, Emperor Wen of Sui said to his ministers Gao Gong and Yang Su, "Wei Xun's 20,000 soldiers can't reach the ridge early, and I have few soldiers every time." It can be seen that Mrs. Xian's decision has a great impact on the overall situation.
At this time, Mrs. Sin was 80 years old. Emperor Wen of Sui was amazed by Mrs. Xian's actions, and sent a special letter of condolences. Queen Dugu also gave her jewelry and banquet clothes. His grandson Feng Ang was honored as the Assassin of Gaozhou for his meritorious service in assisting the Sui Army to quell the rebellion, and his second grandson Feng Xuan was also pardoned and worshiped as the Assassin of Luozhou. Feng Bao was posthumously presented as the governor of Guangzhou and the Duke of Qian Guo, and Mrs. Xian was canonized as the Lady of Qian Guo. And "open the shogunate of the lady of the country, put the officials below the long history, give the seal, listen to the soldiers and horses of the six states of the tribe, and act cheaply if there is an emergency." It is not difficult to see that Emperor Wen of Sui attached great importance to Mrs. Xian.
From these records, it can be seen that although Mrs. Xian was born in an ethnic minority, her knowledge, ability, and understanding of the steady development of a place are unmatched by few people.
At the very least, the leaders of the rebel army who rebelled at will and were immediately put down were undoubtedly very different from Mrs. Xian.
It's just a pity that although Mrs. Xian is a fairly outstanding female general or even an excellent female politician, she has not participated in a real large-scale war.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
And there is also a female general, although there is a big gap with Mrs. Xian in terms of stabilizing the place, there is no doubt that her martial arts can be regarded as superior to Mrs. Xian.
This person is Qin Liangyu, an outstanding female general in the late Ming Dynasty.
Qin Liangyu (July 11), the name Zhensu, was born in Zhongzhou, Sichuan (now Zhongxian County, Chongqing).
Qin Liangyu's initial military combat experience is said to be in the 27th year of Wanli (1599), Yang Yinglong rebelled in Banzhou (now Zunyi City, Guizhou Province), Qin Liangyu's husband Shizhu Xuanfu made Ma Qiancheng lead 3,000 people to follow Li Hualong to conquer, Qin Liangyu led 500 elite soldiers to escort grain and grass, and Zhou Guozhu, the deputy general, held Dunkan.
In the twenty-eighth year of Wanli (1600), Yang Yinglong's army took advantage of Li Hualong's army to launch an attack on the camp, Qin Liangyu and her husband defeated it first, and then pursued it with victory, and successively broke through Yang Yinglong's seven camps. Then he assisted the officers and troops of Youyang to capture Sangmu Pass, and broke Yang Yinglong's army, Qin Liangyu was the first in Nanchuan Road's military exploits, but after Yang Yinglong's soldiers were defeated and died, Qin Liangyu did not report his military merits.
In the forty-first year of Wanli (1613), Ma Qiancheng was falsely accused by the eunuch Qiu Chengyun and died of illness in Yunyang prison. Qin Liangyu then took Ma Qiancheng's position.
In the first year of Taichang (1620), the Qing army invaded Liaodong, and the imperial court ordered Qin Liangyu to send troops to help. Qin Liangyu sent his elder brother Qin Bangping and his younger brother Qin Minping to lead thousands of people to go first. The imperial court gave Qin Liangyu the clothing of a three-grade official, and appointed Qin Bangping as the secretary of the capital and Qin Minping as the garrison.
In the first year of the Apocalypse (1621), Qin Bangping and Qin Minping crossed the Hunhe River and fought a bloody battle with the Qing army. Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao issued an edict to Qin Liangyu to add second-grade official clothing, and named Qin Liangyu as the wife of the command, and Qin Liangyu's son Ma Xianglin as the commander. Qin Liangyu said Qin Bangping's death and asked for preferential compensation, and Zhang Heming, the secretary of the military department, entered the bloody battle of the Hunhe River and killed thousands of the enemy's heads, which was actually the credit of the Tusi of Shizhu and Youyang, and suggested that Zhu Youxiao treat Qin Liangyu's family well. Zhu Youxiao then ordered to give Qin Bangping the governor of the capital, and the descendants were hereditary, and set up a shrine with Chen Ce and others.
In September of the same year, the Ministry of War asked Qin Liangyu to return to his hometown to recruit 2,000 soldiers, and after Qin Liangyu and Qin Minping returned to their hometowns, it coincided with the rebellion of Hao Chongming in Chongqing, and his subordinate Fan Long sent envoys with gold, silver and silk to come and want to form an alliance with Qin Liangyu. Qin Liangyu beheaded the envoy, and immediately sent troops to lead Qin Minping and Qin Bangping's sons Qin Yiming and Qin Gongming to the west, crossed Chongqing City, took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, and went straight to Nanping Pass in Chongqing, cutting off the thief's way back. Qin Liangyu set up an ambush to attack Lianghe and burned the enemy's ships. Then Qin Liangyu divided his troops to defend Zhongzhou, sent fast horses to Kuizhou, and asked the local garrison to quickly defend the upper and lower reaches of Qutang Gorge and repel the invading thieves. Qin Liangyu showed Qin Minping's military exploits, and the imperial court promoted Qin Minping to general, Qin Yiming and Qin Gongming as garrisons.
In the second year of the Apocalypse (1622), luxury Chongming besieged Chengdu, and Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Sichuan, ordered Qin Liangyu to go to conquer. At that time, the toasts everywhere were greedy for the bribes of the thieves and the soldiers, and only Qin Liangyu beat the drum to march west. Qin Liangyu led the army to capture the new capital, drove straight to Chengdu, defeated Hao Chongming, and relieved the siege of Chengdu. After the defeat of Yu Chongming, Qin Liangyu led Qin Minping and others to conquer Erlang Pass and Fotu Pass and recover Chongqing. The imperial court then appointed Qin Liangyu as the governor and chief military officer, and was crowned as his wife, Ma Xianglin as the consolation envoy, Qin Minping as the deputy chief soldier, and Qin Yiming and Qin Gongming as generals. After the official was awarded, Qin Liangyu recovered the important strongholds of the thief army such as Hongyadun, Guanyin Temple, and Qingshandun, and committed suicide in defeat, and Qin Liangyu completely quelled the rebellion in Sichuan. The imperial court rewarded Qin Liangyu with gold coins many times for merit.
In the third year of the Apocalypse (1623), Qin Liangyu wrote: "I took Qin Yiming and Qin Gongming to fight with grain, and successively won victories like the three battles of Hongyadun." But those generals who divided our monarchs and ministers, they had never seen the thieves, but they waved their arms and boasted all day long, and when they confronted the thieves, they heard the wind and fled. Those who have been defeated by the thieves themselves are afraid that others will defeat the thieves, and those who are frightened by the thieves themselves are afraid that others will be more courageous than the thieves. Like the general soldier Li Weixin, he failed to return to the camp in the battle of crossing the river, but refused to let me out of the door and did not allow me to enter the city to meet him. A man with a six-foot body was jealous of a woman, and he should die of shame if he thought about it in the silence of the night. Emperor Zhu Youxiao then issued an edict that the ministers of civil and military affairs must entertain Qin Liangyu with courtesy, and there must be no suspicion.
In the fourth year of the Apocalypse (1624), Qin Minping led the army with the governor Wang Sanshan to defeat in Luguang, and Wang Sanshan took the lead in escaping. Qin Minping broke the thieves in Dafang, and won many battles. When he retreated, he was attacked by thieves and died in battle, and Qin Minping's two sons broke through but were also seriously injured. Qin Liangyu wrote to ask for compensation, and the court posthumously presented Qin Minping as the governor of Tongzhi, and set up a shrine to worship, and the two sons were crowned officials, Qin Yiming and Qin Gongming officials to the deputy commander-in-chief.
In the third year of Chongzhen (1630), the Qing army attacked on a large scale, the four cities of Yongping were lost, and Huang Taiji entered and besieged Kyoto. Qin Liangyu led Qin Yiming to serve the king of Zhaoqin, and took out the assets of his family as military salary. Emperor Zhu Youzhen specially issued an edict to praise, and summoned Qin Liangyu on the platform, rewarded Qin Liangyu with coins, livestock, wine, etc., and wrote poems to commend Qin Liangyu's contributions. After Huang Taiji retreated, Qin Liangyu led his troops back to his hometown, while Qin Yiming was stationed near Gyeonggi.
In the seventh year of Chongzhen (1634), Zhang Xianzhong made a rebellion in Sichuan and captured Kuizhou, Qin Liangyu led the army to arrive, and Zhang Xianzhong left without a fight. Qin Liangyu led the army in pursuit, and attacked Ma Xianglin, his son who happened to return to Sichuan, defeated Zhang Xianzhong, and made him retreat to Huguang. Then Zhang Xianzhong was recruited by the imperial court.
In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen (1640), Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai rebelled again, and Luo Rucai led his troops to attack Kuizhou. Qin Liangyu led the army to go, Luo Rucai left without a fight, Qin Liangyu chased to Majiazhai, broke Luo Rucai, beheaded 600 levels, Qin Liangyu led the army to pursue, successively in Liumaya, Tanjiaping Beishan, Xiansiling broke the enemy soldiers, killed its leader Dongshan Tiger, captured the deputy collapsed alive, and captured Luo Rucai's handsome banner, Luo Rucai's army gradually declined.
In the same year, Yang Sichang invited himself to be the supervisor to enter Sichuan to suppress thieves. Shao Jiechun, the governor of Sichuan, led 20,000 old and weak soldiers to defend Chongqing, and the only generals he relied on were Zhang Ling and Qin Liangyu, but Shao Jiechun did not fight for danger and passive defense, so Qin Liangyu was fortified thirty or forty miles away from Chongqing, and Zhang Ling was sent to guard the Yellow Mudhole. Qin Liangyu lamented to Lu Xunzhi, the governor of Mianzhou, who had resigned, and profoundly pointed out the drawbacks of this kind of defense, and was ashamed of dying in battle with Shao Jiechun. Soon, Shao Jiechun moved the camp to Dachang, and the supervising army of Wan Yuan Ji also stationed troops in Wushan, echoing Qin Liangyu.
In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen (1643), Zhang Xianzhong captured Wuchang, executed Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, and led his troops to invade Sichuan again.
In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (1644), Zhang Xianzhong led the army to drive straight into Kuizhou and invaded Kuizhou again, Qin Liangyu led the army to the rescue, but was outnumbered and defeated. After Zhang Xianzhong captured Chengdu, Qin Liangyu said to his subordinates: "Both of my brothers died on the battlefield, and I am a woman who has been favored by the country for 20 years. At this point now, he dares to stand against the thief!" So Qin Liangyu divided his troops to guard the Shiqi Realm, and Zhang Xianzhong recruited Sichuan Tusi everywhere, but he did not dare to come to Shiyan.
......
Although Qin Liangyu was trapped in Shi Yan in the end and finally died, there is no doubt that Zhang Xianzhong never dared to attack Shi Yan or surrender Qin Liangyu when Qin Liangyu was alive, so you can know how much fear Qin Liangyu caused to Zhang Xianzhong.
It's just that there is one thing that is very interesting, that is, later generations believe that Qin Liangyu also appeared in the Wanli Korean War, but Qin Liangyu, who only appeared in the battle for the first time in 1599 AD, will never have the opportunity to meet the Japanese of the Momoyama regime. (To be continued.) )
