Beiyang reactionaries

"And organize our newspapers, thoroughly criticize those people, and then promote our ideas."

"Yes."

"The notice to establish the Hunan Women's Federation has been sent out?"

"Yes."

"Five days later, we publicly established the Hunan Women's Federation in Changsha. In the past few days, we have used newspapers to publicize the views of our Women's Federation. We support freedom of love, freedom of marriage, freedom of divorce, and women's property rights. Within the scope of Hunan, if some people stop these things and some people destroy them, then we will never agree. If my sisters in Sanxiang are treated unfairly in these aspects, then our Hunan Women's Federation is the backing of all Hunan women. As long as If you find us, we will help them. If you want people and money, we will find a lawyer to help them.”

"Yes."

"Go get ready."

Tang Qunying came back this time to do something big.

What is this today.

It's just an appetizer, tell the people of Hunan that I, Tang Qunying, are back.

Tang Qunying is going to do more scary things.

Just as Yang Wei said, if the power of the clan and the gentry are not eliminated, it will be difficult for the feminist movement to achieve results.

But Tang Qunying knew better than anyone how powerful the clan power and the local gentry were.Because Tang Qunying herself came from a big family and was married to the Zeng Guofan family.

It is precisely because they are too powerful that Tang Qunying must be fully prepared this time.

That is the establishment of the Hunan Women's Federation.Tang Qunying's idea was also supported by Yang Wei. Yang Wei personally stated that the People's Party organizations in Hunan would fully support Tang Qunying's Hunan Women's Federation.

Moreover, Yang Wei also invited Tang Qunying to join the People's Party as the Minister of the Women's Department that the People's Party will soon establish.But Tang Qunying did not answer directly, but told Yang Wei that she had to make some achievements in Hunan first.

"Tang Qunying is indeed a mighty general."

How long has it been since Tang Qunying returned to Hunan.

Less than 20 days, only half a month.

Even the final trial of the Anhui businessman's lawsuit against the cabinet has not yet come out, and the Hunan side is already in trouble.The first thing Tang Qunying did when she returned to Hunan was to mobilize the young female students to besiege the old scholars who criticized "equality between men and women".

Those old scholars were all well-known scholars in the local area, and they were besieged by a group of women, which can be described as gentle and dishonorable.Doors were smashed, windows were smashed.

And you can't fight with women.

Therefore, they can only curse "the world is going downhill" and "only villains and women are difficult to raise".

And Tang Qunying used this action to announce his arrival.Let the whole of Hunan know that he is back.Soon the whole of Hunan knew that the "Grandma of the Eighth Aunt" of the Tang family had returned.Tang Qunying is a well-known feminist general and the first female member of the League.

Tang Qunying's reputation was so great that even the local police station did not dare to act rashly for fear of being besieged by Tang Qunying.Therefore, as long as it doesn't really hurt people, as long as it doesn't cause major problems, the police station doesn't dare to take care of it, and can only send people to maintain order.

But this is just a small test.

Tang Qunying quickly made an astonishing move, which caused a sensation in Hunan, and even in China.

That is to break the famous chastity archway.

Yes.

There is a very famous chastity archway in Hunan, which is a chastity archway bestowed by the imperial court in recognition of local chaste women.This is not only for those chaste women, but also a commendation for the local clan. It is passed down from generation to generation, and it is a treasure that the clan attaches great importance to.For the local clan, this chastity archway is the honor of the clan.For this archway, many local clans have their own rules.

That is, as long as the husband dies, the woman must observe the festival.

This is the religious rule.

In order to keep the festival, these women who have lost their husbands and those who have children have to raise their children independently.Those without children can only be locked up, or they have to live in a place where they cannot contact the outside world.You can only live in a prescribed place for a lifetime, and you must not contact outsiders.

Anyway, you can't remarry.

Because once a woman remarried, or bad rumors spread, it would be a blow to the reputation of the entire clan.In order to maintain the clan's reputation, all women must observe chastity.But Tang Qunying is a brave general.

Dare to do anything.

Leading a group of women, smashed the chastity archway of other people's houses, and released all the chaste women in other people's houses.

A sensation throughout Hunan.

There are those who strike festivals and praise, and those who beat their breasts and feet.

There is praise and there is criticism.

It was very noisy.

The clan whose chastity archway was smashed clashed with the people led by Tang Qunying.Eventually even the police got involved.The clan whose chastity archway was smashed directly took Tang Qunying to court.

But Tang Qunying didn't care about being the defendant at all.

It is still "running wild" in Hunan.

After Tang Qunying publicly established the Hunan Women's Federation in Changsha, she immediately hired some lawyers in Shanghai and filed lawsuits in court one after another.

is what.

It's all about legacy cases.

Most of the husbands died, leaving orphans and widows.And their clansmen, especially the elders of the clan, swallowed these family properties in various names.

In fact, the biggest name is that women are not members of the clan.After the husband died, he was worried that if the woman remarried, the family assets would be taken away.Although those properties are already private properties, in this era when the clan rules are greater than the sky, the clan has some ways to swallow these properties.It is too easy to bully some orphans and widows.

This is one category.

Another type is that after the death of the parents, there is only one girl left in this branch.It should be said that the daughter is the heir to the inheritance, but the elders of the clan believe that when a woman marries, she is not a member of her clan, and when she marries, she will take away the clan property.So in the name of the clan, deprive them of their inheritance rights.

In fact, there are many more.

But everything else is a matter of fighting for property within the clan, and Tang Qunying and the others can't and won't take care of it.Tang Qunying and the others only cared about women's affairs.

With the support of Tang Qunying and the others, those women whose property had been robbed asked Tang Qunying and the others for help.Tang Qunying led the Hunan Women's Federation to sue such cases.

"Great rebellion".

It is really outrageous.For the clan forces in Hunan, these things Tang Qunying did were outrageous.In the current rural China, it was an era when the clan law was greater than the national law, and some women dared to sue the clan.

It is intolerable.

Don't say it's a woman, even a man can't easily resist the clan power at this time.Those men who dared to resist the power of the clan were either very capable and not afraid of the clan at all.Or they can only be expelled from the clan and leave their hometown.

Look at Yuan Shikai and Tan Yankai.
