Cai E and Huang Xing are fellow villagers and friends, but they have different political views. Cai E doesn't like party politics, but only praises the country's strength. Huang Xing, a veteran of the League and the core of the Kuomintang, naturally cannot leave here.
1, Cai E's support is several times that of Yuan.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Cai E is dealing with Yuan. In fact, Cai E supported Yuan Shikai's actions as a whole, except that Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor. Because Cai E advocates a strong central government and a strong country.
(Cai E)
After the Revolution of 1911, Cai E became the governor of Yunnan. Different from other provinces, Cai E abolished the army on the one hand, and paid the money from the central government on the other. On the capital issue, supporting Beijing as the capital is inconsistent with the alliance's request for Nanjing as the capital.
In terms of party politics, Cai E restricted the League in Yunnan. In order to prevent one from dominating, Cai E encouraged other developments, such as the party of his teacher Liang Qichao. At the same time, it is strictly forbidden for soldiers to get involved in political parties. In the second revolution, Cai E supported Yuan Shikai and actively made suggestions. The four governors of Southwest China jointly electrified against the "second revolution". Among all the governors, Cai E went to Beijing.
(national defense war)
During the war to defend the country, Liang Qichao's Progressive Party was very close to Cai E, and the Kuomintang basically had no contact.
2. Huang Xing, the core figure of the Kuomintang, is the core figure of the Kuomintang. During the period of Nanjing government, Huang Xing participated in more than half of the ten anti-Qing uprisings, so he was naturally an important propaganda target.
(Huang Xing)
In the Revolution of 1911, Huang Xing served as wartime commander-in-chief in Wuchang, and fought in Hankou and Yang Xia successively, although he was defeated.
(Wuchang offensive and defensive warfare)
After the fall of Nanjing, Huang Xing served as deputy marshal, acting as marshal. After Sun Wen returned to China, he actively supported Sun Wen. After the establishment of the Nanjing Provisional Government, Huang Xing became the chief of the army.
(Yuan Jun is required to take action)
In the second revolution, troops were organized in Nanjing to participate in the Northern Expedition. Huang Xing was an early military core figure of the Kuomintang. Although he was defeated in many wars, he acted aboveboard and pursued the ideal of being pure and natural, which was the first choice for later propaganda. Although both Huang Xing and Cai E were important figures in the early Republic of China, the difference was that they were not a system at all.
Two Heroes in the Republic of China: Huang Xing and Cai E —— Repeated defeats, battles and fame in World War I
In terms of fame, Huang Xing is much bigger than Cai E. He is one of the founders of the League and Sun Yat-sen's right-hand man. At one time, his personal reputation was almost equal to that of Sun Yat-sen, and he was called "Sun Huang". However, Huang Xing is quite self-aware and has been living under Sun Yat-sen, so there is no division and contradiction in the alliance. However, although Huang Xing has a good personality, as an early revolutionary, his military command level is really not very good. It can be said that he has commanded countless battles in his life, but he has never won a battle! Before Wuchang died, he planned and directed many armed riots in Guangdong and Guangxi, all of which ended in failure.
One of the most famous is the Huanghuagang Uprising in Guangzhou, which made people cry. Seventy-two revolutionaries died heroically, and Huang Xing's left hand was interrupted by two fingers, and the result was still failure. Later, the Wuchang Revolution was successful in one fell swoop, and Huang Xing was ordered by Sun Yat-sen to return to China to take charge of the overall situation and went to Wuhan as the wartime commander-in-chief. As a result, after several battles, it was defeated by Beiyang army, which directly led to the theft of revolutionary achievements by Yuan Shikai. Later, Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, and Sun Yat-sen transferred troops to revolt. In the second revolution, Huang Xing was still in power militarily, but he was still beaten out of the water by Beiyang Army. Finally, Huang Xing had to go into exile in the United States. It can be said that Huang Xing has been through many battles all his life, but he has never won the battle.
Cai E, on the other hand, is very different from Huang Xing. Although he is only eight years younger than Huang Xing, he has never been a professional revolutionary. Although Cai E participated in a small-scale anti-Qing uprising in his early years, the uprising soon failed. From this defeat, Cai E realized the importance of military expertise. Later, with the support of Yuan Shikai, Cai E went to Japan, studied military affairs at the Japanese NCO School, and returned to Yunnan to train a new army, which was quite famous in the Yunnan army. Later, Wuchang's first righteousness was successful, and Cai E led the Yunnan New Army to respond to the revolution and was elected as the governor of Yunnan. But Cai E is not the kind of person who is greedy for money. He was one of the first supervisors who realized the disadvantages of military intervention. Shortly after the success of the revolution, he voluntarily gave up military power and became a nominal military senator in Beijing, and was placed under house arrest by Yuan Shikai. Then, there was the scandal of "Cai E and Fengxian Xiao".
Of course, Huang Xing is also a great hero who has never won a battle. His spirit of fighting to overthrow the Manchu dynasty and his courage of repeated defeats and wars are enough to make him go down in history. After the death of Huang Xing, Zhang Taiyan, a master of Chinese studies, wrote an elegy: "If there is no public, there will be no Republic of China, and if there is history, there will be people." Illustrates the historical position of Huang Xing in the Revolution of 1911.
Interestingly, there was another military exchange between Cai E and Huang Xing, when Yuan Shikai just proclaimed himself emperor. Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing were planning a second revolution against Yuan, but Cai E thought it was premature to oppose Yuan militarily at this time, so he sent a message to Huang Xing, asking Huang to look at the situation calmly and not to make a move. What a pity! Huang Xing, the defeated soldier, did not listen to Cai E's advice and went his own way, which led to his last big defeat in his life. Huang Xing's unfinished anti-Yuan cause was finally completed by Cai E.
In the second year after Yuan Daye was completed, Huang Xingyu died in Shanghai on1October 3 19 16, and Cai E died in Fukuoka, Japan on1October 8+0/9165438. Two outstanding figures in the Republic of China, a generation of arrogance, fell. 19 17 In mid-April, two founding fathers of the Republic of China were buried in the state on the famous Yuelu Mountain in Changsha. According to its historical achievements and status, Huang Xing, who has been defeated in many wars, is still stronger than Cai E, who became famous in World War I ... So the tomb of Huang Xing at the top of Yuelu Mountain is also slightly higher than the tomb of Cai E halfway up the mountain.
Huang Xing and Cai E's revolutionary experience.
Huang Xing, who suffered repeated defeats and wars, really struggled all his life and never succeeded once. Under the wise leadership of Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing organized dozens of revolutions, and each time he suffered a crushing defeat.
Because Sun Yat-sen is a Cantonese and admires Hong Xiuquan, the movement of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he is influenced by Hong Xiuquan ideologically. Everyone must know the trajectory of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement, that is, from jintian uprising, Guangxi, and then all the way to the Northern Expedition, and it took two years to reach Nanjing. Sun Yat-sen also hoped for a Northern Expedition, a war of reunification between the North and the South. Therefore, Sun Yat-sen set the uprising place in Guangdong and Guangxi, and invited Huang Xing to participate in or direct the Qinzhou and Fangcheng Uprising, the Zhennanguan Uprising, the Qinzhou, Lianzhou and Shangsi Uprising, and the Yunnan Hekou Uprising. Time and place are different, but failure is the same.
It was not until the Wuchang Uprising was successful that this failure stopped.
Many people think that the success of the Revolution of 1911 was also accomplished under the leadership of the League. This is not the case in real history. At that time, the Hubei New Army who participated in the Wuchang Uprising wanted to invite Huang Xing to lead the team, but Huang Xing didn't have time to get to Hubei. It is embarrassing that Hubei New Army launched an uprising ahead of schedule and achieved success.
When Huang Xing rushed to Hubei to participate in the command, he fought with the Qing army for a period of time, which won valuable time for the independence of the provinces. Then Huang Xing was beaten away by the Beiyang New Army. The greatness of Huang Xing lies in that even if he loses and fights repeatedly, he will lose and fight repeatedly, and the more frustrated he is, the more brave he is!
Huang Xing was also very active in politics in the early years of the Republic of China. After all, Huang Xing worked hard for this ticket for so long. What's wrong with a shiny glass and a bowl of red wine? After the establishment of the Nanjing Provisional Government, Huang Xing became the chief of the army. Later, Sun Yat-sen resigned to make way for Yuan Shikai, and Huang Xing had to stand aside.
Later, Sun Yat-sen launched the second revolution, and Huang Xing took the lead. As a result, he failed and went into exile in Japan. He broke up with Sun Yat-sen for China Revolutionary Party. 19 16 died at the age of 42. It can be said that his ambition has not been rewarded. For Huang Xing's evaluation, Zhang Taiyan's evaluation is the highest: "Without public affairs, there must be people in history."
The short history of Cai E, which became famous after World War II, still spoke highly of Cai E, a great patriot in modern times, a famous politician, strategist, democratic revolutionary and outstanding military leader in the early years of the Republic of China. If you only look at the title, you may think that Sun Yat-sen is not qualified, but Cai E is worthy of the name and is great.
Although both Cai E and Huang Xing died in 19 16, they were born eight years later than Huang Xing, while Cai E died at the age of 34, so he died young.
Cai E's life is short, and his experience in revolutionary activities is even shorter. He only did two great things. One was to lead the Revolution of 1911 in Yunnan during the Revolution of 1911, and the other was the first one to oppose Yuan Shikai's claim to be emperor and set off a war to defend the country.
However, the difference between the two events was four years, which established Cai E's historical position. On the speculative political stage in the early Republic of China, Cai E always followed the historical trend and joined the revolutionary movement. He was a staunch revolutionary, but history was unfair to Cai E. It's a pity that he died at the age of 34 after making such outstanding achievements.
19 17, Beiyang government held a state funeral for him in Yuelu Mountain, Changsha, and Cai E became the "first person in the state funeral" in the history of the Republic of China. Cai E was a flash in the pan after World War II. In the vast history, not many people can leave a reputation. Huang Xing and Cai E are both good!
