Many warlords in history were bandits, such as Zhang and others. They have committed many crimes themselves, which are not worthy of praise at all, and some of them can even be described as unscrupulous. So, if you were their concubine, do you think you would still feel honored?
During the Republic of China, the warlords' concubines actually had a very low status and almost no human rights. She is at the mercy of others, listens to other people's arrangements every day, and lives in the hands of others every day just to make a living. This method also met with a cold reception, but many people rushed to imitate it.
At first, they imitated it just to look better in cheongsam, which was the pursuit of beauty, but it also exposed some people's ignorance. In fact, real aunts almost never end well. Many of them were born in poor families. In order to reduce the burden on the family, she became a concubine of the warlord. Many of them are very far away from the warlords themselves. In fact, this is also a derivative of concubine culture, just like the children of poor families in ancient times, men went to be eunuchs and women went to be maids.
Take Zhang as an example. Zhang has many concubines. They are all beautiful, but Zhang doesn't pay much attention to his concubines. These concubines gave birth to children for Zhang Shenger, but Zhang ignored the feelings of the concubines and directly gave his daughter as a bargaining chip to his strategic partner in exchange for his own armed forces. Zhang's behavior makes his daughter Zhang very annoying. When Zhang was killed by the Japanese with explosives on the train, Zhang's daughters applauded and his concubines all came to a tragic end.
