My sister married a poor boy,After the year, my sister regretted it.
In Cai Yi's movie "Let the Bullets Fly", Zhang Mazi told his master about his past: "My name is Zhang Muzhi, I came out of Jiangwutang, and I once followed General Songpo, he is my senior, and I also served as his pistol captain. ”
And the Songpo general in Zhang Muzhi's mouth is the Cai Yi who was born poor but has a brilliant life. His career was brilliant, but his married life was just as wonderful.
On November 9, 1882, the eighth year of Guangxu, the small villages in the south were cold and windy. A dark-faced, poorly dressed man stood in his courtyard, rubbing his hands together and pacing back and forth, as if anxiously waiting for something.
With a cry, a baby boy was born in the home of Cai Zhengling, a poor merchant, who no one could have predicted that would become a famous figure in modern Chinese history, and a "general".
When he was born, Cai Yi was named "Songpo" and his name was "Gen Yin". Eighteen years later, he witnessed the corruption of the Qing Dynasty, the decline of the nation, and the suffering of the people, and was determined to "shed blood to save the people".
Therefore, he changed his name to "Cai Yi" and fought for the revolution all his life. Although he came from a poor background, he was fortunate to be favored by fate to avoid falling into the family cycle. Historical coincidences are often tailor-made for the big guys.
Cai was born in Shanmen, Wugang Prefecture, Hunan, and when he was four years old, his life changed dramatically. His father, Cai Zhengling, started a business of steaming wine and grinding tofu in order to make a living.
Every day, he would carry these two goods to the market to sell, and in the process, he would always pass by Liu Huige's house. Every time he passed by that generous courtyard, he would let out an exclamation, just like the inferiority of the poor in those days before the rich.
And Liu Huige is a big local family and has a considerable reputation. Cai Zhengling didn't know that moving here with his whole family would change Cai Yi's life. At that time, Cai Ye was only a four-year-old child, who had never attended a private school, and his daily life was to follow his father and go to the market to sell steamed wine and tofu.
However, it was this kind of life that forged his tenacious character and laid the foundation for his future success.
Cai Ye was on the way to the market with his father when he was suddenly stopped by the rich man Liu. He invited Cai Zhengling and his son to go to his private school to go to school, and said that he saw Cai Yi's rich and noble appearance, and believed that he would definitely be able to make a difference in the future.
Although Cai Zhengling had no intersection with Rich Liu, he knew that his family was poor and could not afford his son's schooling, so he was very happy to accept Rich Liu's funding. It seems like a pie-in-the-sky good thing!
During Yuan Shikai's study at a private school, Liu Huige kept a close eye on him and firmly believed that he was the best candidate. So, he began to plan to marry the daughter of the family to Cai Yi, but because the youngest daughter was still in infancy, he decided to choose the eldest daughter Liu Changgu.
Aunt Liu is Liu Huige's eldest daughter, but she is seven years older than Cai Yi, and she was only eleven years old that year. At first, Aunt Liu didn't have much feeling about this family business, but as she grew older, her dissatisfaction with Cai Ye increased day by day.
She felt ridiculous about the disparity in the status of the two, and what made her even more dissatisfied was that Liu Huige set up this family affair for her without her consent. Day after day, Aunt Liu's dissatisfaction gradually turned into hostility towards Cai Ye, who never gave a good face to the sojourning teenager, and even often showed disgust.
Despite this, Cai is still focused on studying, and he knows that his task is to study hard, not fight with others. He has a tenacious character, can distinguish between primary and secondary contradictions, and still insists on studying hard.
At that time, the imperial examination was still going on, and Cai Ye studied the Four Books and Five Classics and the Eight Strands of Literature at Liu's private school. However, he was gifted and was seen as a child prodigy from an early age. At the age of eight, Cai Ye was hunched on his shoulders by his father to participate in the "boy test" in the city.
When the examiner saw this scene, he felt that it was necessary to test Cai Yi, so he came up with a couplet: "The son will make the father a horse."
The mother hopes that the son will become a dragon, and the son will look at the mother and the phoenix. And parents' expectations for their children are the driving force of a person. Just like Cai's father, he had high hopes for him, so he was admitted to Xiucai at the age of 13, and was admitted to Changsha Shiwu School at the age of 15.
All of this is inseparable from Liu Huige's funding. In that turbulent era, Cai Ye was no longer satisfied with the closure of the town, he saw the rise of new ideas and new trends.
In the School of Current Affairs, he studied under Liang Qichao and Tan Sitong, who were not only his mentors, but also his partners on the road to revolution in the future. However, with the failure of the Wuxu Reform Law, Liang Qichao fled to Japan, and the School of Current Affairs was disbanded.
At this time, Cai Ye followed Liang Qichao to Japan and began his study abroad career. Like many progressive youths, he shouldered the responsibility of saving the country and constantly explored the way to make the country rich and the people strong.
He saw the corruption of the Qing Dynasty and was determined to save the people from fire and water, so he wrote in a poem: "Bloodshed saves the people for generations, and the liver and gallbladder are rotellinous." However, in a self-reliant army movement, he tasted defeat.
At this time, he understood that saving the country and the people could not only rely on the pen and the stick, but also must learn military knowledge and have his own army.
Liang Qichao changed his name to Cai Yi and was determined to use wisdom and courage to protect the country from powerful enemies inside and outside. He studied military affairs at the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School until 1904, when he returned to China.
After returning to China, he changed into a straight military uniform and began his passionate and enthusiastic military career. However, the first thing he did was to fulfill the promise he made eighteen years ago, and like all sincere, kind youths, he did not forget his marriage commitment.
Aunt Liu's marriage contract with Cai Ye made her a, but Cai Ye's return did not bring her joy, but made her feel the torture she had been waiting for ten years.
When she saw Cai Ye in her prime, her heart was full of self-esteem troubles caused by low self-esteem. As a result, Aunt Liu resisted the marriage on the spot, which made Cai Ye, who was present, feel extremely embarrassed.
However, Cai received a new education and was soon relieved. He understands that marriage is not to be forced, and everyone has the right to choose their own life.
When Liu Huige faced his daughter's resolute opposition, he felt extremely helpless and embarrassed, and even felt that he had no face. At this moment, a young woman stood up and decided to marry Cai Yi.
All eyes were on a nineteen-year-old girl, Liu Huige's niece, Liu Senying, who was passed on to her uncle because of her mother's death. When he was a child, Cai Ye went to school in Liu's house, and even met Liu Senying, who was younger than him, but if Liu Senying hadn't offered to marry him, he might have forgotten about this former classmate.
Now, Liu Senying has grown up and still maintains the dress of a girl in the late Qing Dynasty, but at the same time has a kind of girlish vitality. Liu Huige breathed a sigh of relief and repeatedly asked her if she was sure she wanted to marry, but Liu Senying's determined gaze was the same as that of her sister.
Liu Senying and Cai's marriage was not based on the notion that they were a good match, and she believed that marriage should transcend these worldly constraints. Her sister was too conservative to break through old ideas.
Cai was moved by Liu Senying's concept of the overall situation, and this marriage not only restored the face of the two families, but also freed him from an embarrassing situation. After marriage, Cai Ye found that Liu Senying had both chivalrous style and chastity, so he decided to change her name to "Liu Xiazhen".
Liu Xiazhen followed in the footsteps of Cai Ye and left her hometown Hunan to take up a post in Yunnan. At that time, after Cai Ye returned to China, it coincided with the urgent need to train recruits in all provinces across the country, and as a returning international student, he became a valuable talent to compete for in various places, and invitations poured in.
However, due to the outbreak of many revolutions in modern times, the whole ** valve was extremely wary of the Hunan people, and Cai Ye began to weigh the pros and cons at this time. After careful consideration, he chose Yunnan, which has simple folk customs and a relatively remote geographical location.
Soon after Cai Ye and Liu Xiazhen got married, they had their first child - Cai Ye named this newborn little life "Casting Lotus". Cai was very happy with the arrival of this little life, but he was also keenly aware of the crisis of Qing rule.
He believed that the decline of a dynasty was irreversible, that the corrupt rule of the Qing Dynasty had left the people in dire straits, and that a better regime was needed to replace it.
So, on the Double Ninth Festival in 1911, rebel armies all over the country took action, and Cai Ye, who was far away in Yunnan, also seized this opportunity and launched the "Chongjiu Uprising" to declare Yunnan's independence.
However, with the resignation of Sun Yat-sen from the provisional congress on February 13, 1912, and the position to Yuan Shikai, the situation began to change again. ”
In 1913, Yuan Shikai began to plan the restoration of the imperial system, but he was very worried about Cai Yi, who held military power in his hands. In order to better monitor him, Yuan Shikai summoned him to Beijing.
Cai Ye had illusions about Yuan Shikai, believing that he had great talent and the expectations of the people, so he moved to Cotton Hutong with his family. He originally wanted to live up to his ideal of governing the country, but as time went on, he felt more and more that something was wrong.
In 1915, Yuan Shikai publicly admitted the "Twenty-One Articles", and Cai Ye was completely disappointed with Yuan Shikai's regime. He also found that Yuan Shikai had set up a "Preparatory Security Council", claiming to study "which is more suitable for China, a monarchy or a democracy", which was actually creating politics for Yuan Shikai to become emperor.
Yuan Shikai's military advisor Yang Du visited him and hoped that he would join the "Preparatory Security Association" and become one of the initiators. Cai Ye refused many times, but Yang Du still persevered. In the end, Cai Ye realized Yuan Shikai's restoration conspiracy, and if the restoration was successful, the previous revolutionary gains would be wiped out.
Although he was still under surveillance and had no personal freedom, he secretly sabotaged Yuan Shikai's restoration plans. In order to get out of Yuan Shikai's surveillance and let him relax his vigilance, Cai Yi, who had always been clean and self-conscious, began to get up and mingle with Sister Fengxian in Bada Hutong all day long.
Yuan Shikai heard that Cai Ye was cold to his wife and even ignored his mother's invitation, and Yang Du, who was beside him, also expressed dissatisfaction with this: "I thought Cai Ye was a talented person who could contribute to the country, but it seems that he also has problems with family management." ”
After hearing this, Yuan Shikai believed that Cai Ye did not pose a threat. Cai realized that this was a good opportunity to leave Beijing, but he had already brought his family with him when he came to Beijing, and if they remained in Beijing, Yuan Shikai might use this to threaten him.
So, Cai Ye began to advertise everywhere that he was going to marry Xiao Fengxian, and entrusted a friend to buy a villa to show that he wanted to hide Jiaojiao in the golden house. Core idea: Yuan Shikai and Yang Du believe that Cai Ye has problems with family management, and Cai Ye realizes that this is a good opportunity to leave Beijing and avoid Yuan Shikai's threat by promoting the marriage of Xiao Fengxian.
After Yang Du Liu Xiazhen learned of this, she began to dissuade her husband, but her husband Cai Yi did not appease his wife, but became angry, smashed the things in the house, and added fists and kicks to Liu Xiazhen.
The matter of Cai's chickens flying and jumping quickly reached Yuan Shikai, and he sent two of his subordinates to mediate, and happened to bump into this scene. Liu Xiazhen saw that she couldn't persuade her husband, and even her husband threatened to divorce herself, so she cried and shouted to go back to her hometown in Hunan.
Cai's mother was also disappointed in her son, so she said: "The north is about to enter winter, and I, an old man, can't stand it. If my daughter-in-law wants to go back to her hometown, then I will go back with her."
After the mediator returned, he told Yuan Shikai about the matter. Yuan Shikai did not become suspicious when he heard this, but relaxed his vigilance against Cai Ye and began to prepare for his own restoration cause.
In November 1915, Cai Ye, who had no worries, left Beijing with the help of Xiao Fengxian. A month later, Yuan Shikai ascended the throne in Beijing and changed the name of the country to "Hongxian".
Yuan Shikai was intoxicated with his power, but he did not know that he would be overthrown after eighty-three days. On the other hand, Cai Ye left the capital, passed through Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and finally returned to Yunnan.
On December 25, Cai Ye declared the independence of Yunnan and launched the "National Defense Movement", and Yuan Shikai was also forced to ** in a crusade. After the end of the National Defense Movement, Xin** appointed Cai Ye as the overseer and governor of Sichuan.
This young man, who once walked out of the courtyard of a farmhouse, has now become a great man who has influenced history, and his diligence and honesty have also been praised by later generations. Liu Huige of Hunan must be very proud, he is glad that he did not look at the wrong person at the beginning, not only the achievement of Cai Yi, but also the achievement of himself, making the family stronger, and his good deeds are also widely praised.
Aunt Liu rejected Yuan Shikai's marriage contract back then, but with Yuan Shikai's accession to the throne, she has married a fellow villager and lived a stable and worry-free life. Despite this, whenever she recalls the poor boy she looked down on back then, she still feels a trace of shame in her heart.
