Who was the first female military strategist in the history of China?

She was the wife of Wu Ding in the first half of Shang Dynasty in BC 12.

Fu Hao was one of more than 60 wives of Wu Ding, the Shang Dynasty, that is, "Mu Xin", the mother of Zu Geng and Zujia. She lived in Wu Ding during the reorganization of Shang Dynasty in the first half of BC12nd century, and was the earliest female politician and strategist in China.

The first recorded heroine in the history of China.

Judging from her tomb, her name should be "Hao" and "Fu" is a kind of kinship, just as we call someone "big sister" today. Her other title is "Mu Xin".

The martial arts of Shang Dynasty reached its peak in the Wuding era of Emperor Gaozong of Shang Dynasty. Wu Ding expanded the territory of Shang Dynasty several times through a series of wars. The general who led Wu Ding's expedition to the East and the West was his wife. Oracle Bone Inscriptions recorded that one summer, there was a war on the northern border, and the two sides were deadlocked. Fu Hao volunteered and asked for troops. Wu Ding hesitated, decided to send Fu Hao to arise after divination, and the result was a great victory. From then on, Wu Ding made her commander in chief. Since then, she has conquered more than 20 neighboring countries (small independent countries). There were not many people fighting at that time, usually thousands, which was similar to a large-scale battle. However, according to records, when Fu Hao attacked Qiang, there were more than 13 thousand troops at a time. In other words, almost half of the country's troops were handed over to her.

Fu Hao can not only lead troops to fight, but also be the chief priest of the country. She is often ordered to preside over ceremonies such as offering sacrifices to heaven, ancestors and gods, and is also an official of divination. Shang dynasty was a country superstitious in ghosts and gods, and the so-called "the great event of the country lies in respecting peace and honor". Fu Hao knows how to fight. She has mastered the power of sacrifice and divination. Maybe even Wu Ding is afraid of her.
