This is a rare place
Its people are like the pearl of fairy dew
This joint mosaic of Xiao Fengxian's name is a pair of joint letters written by the defending general Cai Yi to xiao Fengxian, a heroic prostitute in the capital, which expresses Cai Yi's respect for Xiao Fengxian and is also a portrayal of Xiao Fengxian's heroic deeds!
Cai Yi, a great patriot in modern times, a famous politician, military expert, democratic revolutionary, and an outstanding military leader in the early years of the Republic of China. He led the Uprising of the New Army that overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty and the Uprising of the Patriotic Army against Yuan Shikai's claim to the throne and the defense of the democratic republic's political system.
Xiao Fengxian, formerly known as Zhu Xiaofeng, a descendant of the Fallen Eight Banners, fell into the wind and dust because of the fall of the family road, there is no record of her in the main history, and even the date of her birth and death has not been clearly stated, but she was once a famous prostitute who moved the public secretary.
How can two people who are not in harmony with each other spark start from a huge political event -- Yuan Shikai is called emperor.
Sowing the seeds of fire - Yuan Shikai's restoration
Yuan Shikai had been plotting for restoration for a long time, and before the restoration in 1915, he took action.
In October 1913, Yuan Shikai transferred Cai Yi to Beijing under the pretext of "granting sick leave for Three months and summoning him to Beijing for recuperation", effectively stripping him of his military powers and keeping a close eye on him. In order to avoid arousing yuan shikai's suspicions, Cai Yi publicly refuted Liang Qichao, who opposed the imperial system, and actively expressed his "approval of the imperial system".
In order to hide his eyes and ears, Cai Yi pretended to have no great ambitions and often "fooled around" in the Eight Hutongs, and it was precisely in this way that he got to know Xiao Fengxian.
The two meet
Due to the war and family influence, Xiao Fengxian went from Shanghai to Nanjing, and then from Nanjing to Beijing, and settled down in yunjiban in the Shaanxi Alley of bada hutongs, and his talent and beauty were excellent, and he became a famous prostitute in Beijing in the early years of the Republic of China.
Cai Yi was upset in his heart, and casually went out to walk around, not as a prostitute, and because he dressed up as an ordinary businessman, he did not look like a particularly rich man, and the brothel bustard brought him to Xiao Fengxian. Since then, a desperate love affair has begun.
Life and death know each other
Xiao Fengxian told Cai Yi and Pan about his own life, and also asked Cai Yi to treat him sincerely, and the two of them went through twists and turns, and finally treated them frankly, and Cai Yi even fell out with his wife for Xiao Fengxian. whereas
"The few corners of this place, its people are like the pearl of fairy dew"
It is a couplet that Cai Yi gave to Xiao Fengxian after the two knew each other, full of admiration and admiration!
Xiao Fengxian knew that Cai Yi's heart was not in the land of indulgence in sound and color, and when Cai Yi offered to help him escape, he generously agreed. Cai Yi said that he and Xiao Fengxian played and took the opportunity to escape Beijing, returned to Yunnan, and telegraphed Yuan. In January of the following year, Cai Yi led an army to march, claiming that Yuan Shikai, who had only been emperor for 83 days, died in internal and external troubles. On November 8 of the same year, Cai Yi, who suffered from laryngeal tuberculosis, died in Japan at the age of 34.
It's a dream after all
When Cai Yi was leaving, he said to Xiao Fengxian:
"There are many inconveniences among peers, and the day of success in the future will not be forgotten!"
That night, Xiao Fengxian walked for Cai Yi, singing for him, shedding tears for him, and carefully dinging. But I didn't expect this to be a life-and-death trick! Because Cai Yi died young, Xiao Fengxian did not have the opportunity to continue the frontier with Cai Yi, hid his name, fell down all his life, and died shortly after the founding of New China!
Indeed, in fireworks Willow Lane, there are few people like Cai Yi, and although people like Xiao Fengxian live here, there are not many women with family and country feelings, after all, many women do not have family and country feelings.
"The merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country, and sings the backyard flowers across the river"!
