At the Medical University Hospital in Fukuoka, Japan, a group of people are busy making their last efforts.

The Chinese Consul General in Fukuoka, Japan, the representatives of the Hokkaido Chinese Student Association, and the overseas Chinese living there have also been cheering for a warrior on the hospital bed, but all this seems so futile in the face of illness. Cai Yi, the chief general of the National Defense Movement, has fallen into a dying moment.

Jiang Baili accompanied him to Japan for medical treatment throughout the whole process, and he had done his best to this old friend. Now, looking at the haggard Cai Ye, the corners of his eyes were soaked with tears. This moment has finally come, and this iron man who has tears and does not flick lightly, and can even resolutely end his life to express the shame of dishonesty to students, can't help but shed tears.

"Brother Fang Zhen, don't feel sorry for me", I don't know when, Cai Ye suddenly came to his senses. "People will eventually die, so why should you and I be children? It's just that I'm still a little worried and want to talk to you about it. ”

Jiang Baili knew that he was returning to the light, and endured his grief and said: "Brother Songpo, you and my brother, if you have anything undone, just give orders." The two are both "three non-commissioned officers", and their relationship is irreversible, so there is no need to hide it at this time.

"It's not my business, it's you." Cai Ye looked directly at Jiang Baili: "My ambition is to oust Yuan Shikai from the throne, this goal has been accomplished, and I have no regrets." However, if you have no skills and ambitions, you can't display them, which is unfair to you and the country. ”

Jiang Baili shook his head and said, "The state affairs are so corrupt, what can I do?" You can only take one step at a time. President Locus called me some time ago and invited me to be an adviser to the Presidential Office, and I am still considering it. ”

Cai Yi looked at him in a daze and said, "Brother is a military talent, how can he be buried in the case and live as a master of Shaoxing?" Why don't you downgrade Fengtian and Hanqing to achieve a great cause? Some time ago, I recommended Jincheng to be reused when he arrived, with my understanding of Han Qing, he is very ambitious and courageous, and he will definitely raise his hands to welcome his brother. ”

Jiang Baili smiled and didn't answer. Cai Ye values Zhang Hanqing, but he thinks it may not be, he always thinks that a hairy child is worth his journey to a bit exaggerated, and his long-cherished grudge with Zhang Zuolin in the past is still in his heart. Therefore, even if Cai Ye persuaded him many times, even the fact that Zhang Hanqing was praised by many parties for founding the party could not make him half distracted. He was a proud man, and he was proud that he could not tolerate any error in judgment.

Cai Ye sighed, as soon as he took this breath, he felt very bad, he felt itchy in his throat, he wanted to cough but couldn't cough it out, and his mind was dizzy. Seeing this, Jiang Baili hurriedly wanted to call the doctor, but was stopped by him.

"One drink and one peck, you have your own determination, I know your proud temperament, just look at fate." Cai Yi spoke more and more urgently, Jiang Baili wanted to restrain him but was blocked by him waving his hand: "I know it's not going to work, the limit is today." I have a few last words, please convey them to the government and the central government. ”

"May our people and government work together to adopt positive policies with hope;

Opinions are mostly contested for rights, and those who are willing to serve the people are patriotic with morality;

The personnel who died in Sichuan and contributed to the battle were earnestly urged to supervise the army and Governor Dai to verify the petition for the compassionate award to show encouragement;

With a short life, he did not try his best to reassure the Republic of China, and should be buried thinly. ”

Jiang Baili wrote down his words word by word with grief, and when he recorded the fourth article, he couldn't help but burst into tears again. When he wanted to listen to what Cai Ye said again, the nurse next to him said softly: "General Cai has passed away!" ”

On November 8, Zhang Hanqing's first good friend, General Cai Yi, died of illness at Fukuoka University Hospital at the age of 34. When the bad news came, the whole country was shocked. Whether they are friends or foes, they have expressed their nostalgia for this hero who died young. His body was repatriated from Japan and will be buried on the Yuelu Mountain in Changsha.

Cai Yi's funeral, the national condolence sacrifice, its sacrificial words and elegiac couplets have people to pass on. Sun Yat-sen, who was half-known and half-friendly in the south, came to condolence: "I am generous in my life; Thousands of miles between the horses and the waves. ”

His mentor Liang Qichao mourned: "Knowing what is evil is worse than the dead; Who is it for the mourning of the lady? ”

Kang Youwei wrote in his own hand: "The bow of Weijun is now the world of Hongxian; Because of my thoughts, I am afraid of hearing the sound of drums! ”

Cai Ye is Zhang Hanqing's first best friend since he crossed over, and it was he who led Zhang Hanqing to the stage in the early years of the Republic of China, and since then he has become popular. Although commanding more with less in the war-torn south, Cai Ye did not forget this little friend from the Northeast, and often talked with Zhang Hanqing about the current situation, and was very pleased with every bit of Zhang Hanqing's progress. He knew Zhang Hanqing's entry into the lecture hall, the formation of the guard brigade, the fight against bandits, and even the founding of the party, and gave timely praise and support. His distant voice did make Zhang Hanqing more popular, at least in terms of the control of the guard brigade and the expansion of the people's party's momentum, so that he was quite sure.

A few months ago, Cai Gong in Yunnan also made a laughable happy alliance when Zhang Hanqing got married, but the situation suddenly changed, such a genius figure, mentor and good friend, in his young years, died like a shooting star, leaving China with long-term pain and regret, and also gave Zhang Hanqing a warning: the development of history is not subject to human will, what should come, always come, such as disease and death, and the war and humiliation that may be imposed on the Chinese people.

Si Ren has passed away, and the best way to remember him is to inherit his legacy and fulfill his wishes. Looking at today's China, the Anhui system can't do it, the direct line can't do it, and the Kuomintang in the south can't do it. "Weisi people, who am I going to return?" This is Zhang Hanqing's mourning.

In view of the unrelenting help given by General Cai Yi in the first part of his life, Zhang Hanqing decided to do his best to mourn his posthumous affairs, whether it was as a memory of his mentor and friend, or as a tribute to the founder of the founding of the party as the chairman of the People's Party. He firmly demanded that his father propose a state funeral to the Central Committee.

Although he has no intersection with Cai Yi, Zhang Zuolin also decided to take a big step in the face of others' selfless support for his eldest son. On the second day after the bad news came, he immediately telegraphed the central government: "Cai Gong Songpo, establish people with righteousness, die with bravery, sacrifice negative anger, and share the same sorrow." Since Xinhai, this banner of justice has been the first to rise, and it has been difficult and dangerous; To create a republic is the greatest achievement. And he has worked hard for the country for many years, and his family has no accumulated funds, which is especially regrettable. The state commemorates the fathers, and should give a state funeral, and build a special shrine in Beijing and meritorious provinces. ”

Zhang Zuolin's icing on the cake was exchanged for a response, from President Li and Premier Duan, to the provincial overseers, all parties and power groups. In order to open the door to the state funeral, the National Assembly of the Republic of China also quickly passed China's first "State Funeral Law".

Li Yuanhong gave 20,000 yuan of silver in the name of the president for funeral, and 4,000 yuan in his personal name to show respect.

Yuan Shikai's three sons also called to express their condolences and apologized for their father's actions. Yuan Kewen is the most representative: "National model soldier exemplary; Free Soul Republican Spirit".

Cangsong whimpered, and the whole country mourned. Zhang Hanqing gave Cai Ye great grief to his posthumous affairs, and respected him as "a giant in the sky, a perfect man in ancient and modern times". He arranged to set up an altar in Mukden and paid his respects in person to thank him for his kindness and friendship.

He painstakingly wrote an article, and sadly recalled in detail the process of acquaintance, acquaintance, and friendship with Cai Ye in the "Fengtian Times". In the article, he mourned Cai Ye as "a perfect generation", and gave a very high evaluation: "People will eventually die, or lighter than Hongmao, or heavier than Mount Tai, Mr. Songpa is undoubtedly heavier than Mount Tai." In the end, on behalf of the chairman of the People's Party, he cordially praised Cai Ye as "a loyal fighter of the People's Party and one of the founders of the Party".

This is what Cai deserves. Although he did not personally brew even a single rule, system, guideline, or policy in the process of preparing and establishing the People's Party, Zhang Hanqing repeatedly pulled up his tiger skin to increase the popularity of the People's Party, which can be regarded as an indirect contribution. In this sense, he was called "one of the founders of the People's Party" by Zhang Hanqing, which is worthy of his name.

Of course, Zhang Hanqing will not mention their friendship of "prostitution together". The other side of children's love, let it drift away with the wind, the dead are the greatest, and the venerable are all beautiful Chinese traditions.

But there are also uninteresting ones. As a famous couplet saint in history, Yang Du has a lot of couplets that can be passed on in his life, but his couplets are not clever, and in the praise of locusts, it seems to be the most attention-grabbing: "The soul returns to a foreign land, and now the heroes are gods, and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are crying in the rain; The people of the southeast were exhausted, and the sores were full of sores, and the success or failure at that time had been vicissitudes. ”

Because of the opposing political views and positions of the two, his next link can be said to be completely contrary to Cai's achievements. But considering the occasion, his little trick is very boring, no wonder his teacher Wang Minyun said that he was "straightforward" and not round, and commented on him: "Disciple Yang Du, a bookworm who claims to be not stupid, is scolded in vain." Comparing him with Cai Yi, he thinks that Yang Ducai is arrogant and arrogant, and he is often inconsiderate and eager to achieve success in order to clarify the world's self-promise; And Cai Ye is thoughtful and ambitious. If Cai can cooperate with Yang Du, their achievements are limitless.

After the failure of the imperial movement, Cai Yi also defended Yang Du, the first evil of the imperial system: "Yang Du, a Hunan person, advocated the "Theory of Monarchy and Constitution to Save the Country", and attached Yuan to carry out his will, which is really hard, compared to clinging to the honorable, it is not the same as the Japanese. The government cherishes talents for the country, and invites forgiveness. Compared with Yang Du's bearing, the height can be seen.

As Cai Yi's confidante, Xiao Fengxian also fell into deep grief. When a grand public memorial was held in Beijing's Central Park, she rode into the mourning hall in a white horse carriage and wore a blue cloth gown, wept to the statue of Cai Yi, and bowed three times, and then quickly hid her face and withdrew from the mourning hall, for fear that people would recognize her. Maybe in her heart, her humble identity is not on the stage at all, and on a day when the whole country mourns, how can she let the mourning General Cai Da behind her be talked about?
