1906, Mid-Autumn Festival. Cai Zhensheng, the owner of Cai Zhuang in the suburb of Jiujiang, was admitted to Hubei Wubei School, and the whole family celebrated with lanterns and decorations. The arrival of an unexpected visitor broke the festive atmosphere. Su, the owner of Mihang, came for help, and his daughter Su Zhenyu was kidnapped by bandits on Duxiufeng. Chivalrous Cai Zhensheng not only rescued Su Zhenyu, but also became friends with Zhang Baozai, a righteous bandit. A hero saved the United States, Su Zhenyu secretly promised, and Cai Zhensheng fell in love with Su Zhenyu at first sight, which caused Jia Liang, the general manager of the outsourcing Committee, to be jealous-because he also took a fancy to Su Zhenyu.
Thousands of miles away, Guo Jingwen, the second son of Hankou Guo Iron Works, is also a high school armament school. "Wedding Day" and Guo Jingwen's sister Guo Jingzhi were arrested and imprisoned. To commemorate the anniversary of the Sino-Japanese War 1 1, influenced by revolutionaries, she actively organized student demonstrations and was arrested by the military police. Knowing that the Guo family had a close personal relationship with Yuan Shikai, Hubei Hometown Association deliberately sheltered the Guo family, voluntarily released Guo Jingzhi from prison, and took his daughter Elliot Ngok, who had just returned from studying in Japan, to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival. Yuehua has a good impression on Guo Jingwen, which caused the jealousy of Feng Enran, a capable subordinate of Chen Bao. It turned out that Feng Enran had an appointment with Yuehua earlier.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cai Zhensheng bid farewell to his family and Su Zhenyu and set foot on a passenger ship to Wuchang. Just arrived in Wuchang, Cai Zhensheng was bullied by a group of thugs, and Guo Jingwen gave him a hand. The two exchanged names, only to know that they were classmates at the armament school, so they went hand in hand. The two are in high spirits and look forward to a bright future. They never dreamed that in the next few years, they would live and die together and respect each other like brothers; Because of their different beliefs, they became the two sides of the hostile camp, drifting away from each other on the road of life, and even drew their guns several times to meet each other.
At the opening ceremony, Xu Xiyong, general manager of Progress, was blown to death in full view. There has been a major adjustment in personnel in the school. Chen Bao personally served as the general manager of the school, and Feng Enran served as the general manager of the Academic Affairs Office. As soon as they entered the school gate, they witnessed this shocking bloody case, and the passion of Cai Zhensheng and Guo Jingwen was greatly reduced. Then they were angered by the Japanese instructor's repeated insults to China in class. Cai Zhensheng also accidentally discovered that the Japanese instructor was the murderer who killed the general manager Xu Xiyong. In fact, Xu Xiyong was killed by a Japanese instructor secretly appointed by Chen Bao. In order to keep Japanese instructors, Chen Bao decided to fire Cai Zhensheng. The whole school was boiling, and a parade broke out at the beginning of Guo Jingwen and Liu Songting, a progressive instructor. Chen Bao had to expel the Japanese instructors from China. Since then, Chen Bao, Feng Enran and others have regarded Cai Zhensheng and Guo Jingwen as eyesores, and they will get rid of them soon.
Jia Liang's proposal to Sue was rejected by Sue. Jia Liang, who bears a grudge, retaliated and arrested Su Guoqiang, the son of Su and a revolutionary disorderly party. Although Su Guoqiang was lucky enough to get rid of it, Jia Liang refused to let go and used it as a threat to force Su to marry his daughter again. Sue had to agree to the marriage and secretly detained the letters between Su Zhenyu and Cai Zhensheng.
Without a letter from Su Zhenyu, Cai Zhensheng was extremely depressed. In order to comfort him, Guo Jingwen took him to the flower boat by the river to drown his sorrows under the introduction of his classmates. Feng Enran took people on a flower boat to catch them, but he accidentally fell into the river and almost drowned. Cai Zhensheng couldn't bear it and caught a cold to save him. Feng Enran bite the hand that feeds him, forcing Cai Zhensheng to be on duty in spite of illness, which almost led to Cai Zhensheng's death. Thanks to Guo Jingwen's many visits to a good doctor, he saved his life.
Liu Songting, a progressive instructor, could not bear Cai Zhensheng's sinking. He provided revolutionary books for him to read and encouraged him to cherish the world and be positive. Under the influence of Elliot Ngok, Guo Jingwen began to contact books by Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao. They often argue about revolution or improvement, but no one can convince anyone.
Chen Bao suppressed the revolutionary uprising several times, and his hands were stained with revolutionary blood. At the graduation ceremony, Liu Songting plotted to assassinate Chen Bao. The assassination was brutally suppressed by Feng Enran, and Liu Songting's head was hung above the city. Cai Zhensheng and Guo Jingwen are desperate to steal their heads and bury them.
On graduation leave, Guo Jingwen was invited by Cai Zhensheng to Jiujiang. Cai Zhensheng's two sisters, Cai Xiaocong and Cai Xiaowan, have a good impression of Guo Jingwen. Xiao Cong, born in the second house, is ambitious and bent on getting ahead. She made every effort to please Guo Jingwen, but Guo Jingwen remained unmoved. Xiaowan was gentle and virtuous, which left a deep impression on Guo Jingwen.
Before the holiday was over, the two men were ordered to return to the team as soon as possible and form a student army to suppress Comrade Lu Bao's army. On the battlefield, Feng Enran published personal grievances, forcing the injured Guo Jingwen to bomb each other's bunkers. Cai Zhensheng stepped forward, only to find that the bunker was just a group of ragged little boys. Cai Zhensheng couldn't bear to start, but was thrown off the cliff by explosives. Guo Jingwen searched the whole position, but Cai Zhensheng was still alive and dead. Guo Jingwen was heartbroken and lost interest in military affairs. He decided to leave the army and take the road of saving the country through industry.
Jia Liang put Cai Zhensheng on the "missing list" into the "killed list" and announced that Cai Zhensheng had died. The whole Cai family was filled with sadness, and Su Zhenyu, desperate, was forced to marry Jia Liang. On the wedding day, Cai Zhensheng suddenly appeared at the wedding scene. It turned out that he did not die, but was rescued by Zhu Haoliang, the leader of the gay army. Cai Zhensheng watched his beloved woman marry another woman, but there was nothing he could do.
After Guo Jingwen left the army, he devoted himself to the family steel mill business. At this time, Yuan Shikai, the background of the Guo family, has abdicated, and the operation of the iron works is facing great difficulties. In spite of her father Chen Bao's strong opposition, Yuehua resolutely ran away from home to tide over the difficulties with Guo Jingwen. In the company of knowing each other, lovers get married.
Guo Jingzhi met Sue at a secret meeting. Su is the pseudonym of Su Guoqiang. He hid in Wuhan and continued his revolutionary cause. Guo Jingzhi fell in love with Su Shiba, which made his family very uneasy. Guo Mu decided to marry her to a senior official, Yan Zhimin. Guo Jingzhi sternly refused, but strictly adhered to the people but did not care. Instead, he became more and more addicted to Guo Jingzhi.
Su Zhenyu and Jia Liang's marriage life fell into the icehouse. Jia Liang never got Su Zhenyu's heart, so he was cruel to her. Su Zhenyu lives in Lacrimosa all day.
Feng Zeqing, alternate member of Jiujiang, took a fancy to Cai Xiaowan and came to propose. Cai Xiaocong thought it was a great opportunity for her to get ahead, and decided to recommend herself as a pillow mat and become Feng Zeqing's wife instead of her sister. After the marriage, Feng Zeqing took Cai Xiaocong to Wuchang to fill the vacancy. Cai Xiaocong met Feng Enran, a distant cousin of Feng Zeqing.
When Su died of illness, Jia Liang deliberately put an obituary in the newspaper to attract Su and Guo Jingzhi back to pay homage, captured them in one fell swoop, and sent a telegram to take credit. Cai Zhensheng and Zhang Baozai together ordered people to dress up in disguise and pretend to be escorted by officials sent by Chen Bao. The soldiers took risks and rescued Su and Guo Jingzhi first.
After this incident, Su Zhenyu gave up Jia Liang completely and decided to get rid of this demon. She allowed Cai Zhensheng to escape from Wuhan. I don't want Jia Liang to doubt Su Zhenyu. He put Su Zhenyu under house arrest and instructed the doctor to give her opium. Su Zhenyu's life once again fell into the abyss of pain.
With the help of Guo Jingwen, Cai Zhensheng founded a rice processing factory and donated all the profits to the Revolutionary Party. Lai Su Jiujiang donated money and was enthusiastically donated by Cai Zhensheng. However, she was tipped off by Cai Zhensheng's younger brother Cai Zaixing, and Jia Liang organized people to arrest people overnight. Fortunately, Su Zhenyu overheard the news and sent a letter to Cai Fu, so Su Shiba and Cai Zhensheng were able to escape. Su Zhenyu was sent to Zhang Baozai's solo peak by Cai Zhensheng, and was carefully detoxified.
Sue returned to Wuchang on 18th and was assassinated by Zhu Haoliang. He didn't want any deviation in the course of action, and Yuehua was killed by mistake. Angry, the whole city searched for Sue's whereabouts. Guo Jingzhi went to beg Interpol captain Yan Shoumin to save Sue 18th. Yan Zhimin is an old fox who pretends to promise, but secretly fabricates the illusion of Sue's rebellion. Guo Jingzhi can't accept the defection of Sue 18th. On the day when Sue 18th was released from prison, she stabbed her ex-lover in the chest, was taken down on the spot and put in prison. Sue saved her life because of the timely rescue. When Sue 18th woke up, she decided to play along, defected to the enemy for a pretence, and "lurked" inside the enemy.
The news that Guo Jingzhi colluded with the disorderly party caused heavy losses to the Guo family. Major banks and banks frequently urge loans to Guo Tiechang, which leads to the sharp deterioration of the financial situation of the Iron Works and the danger of bankruptcy at any time. Cai Xiaowan and Cai Zhensheng stepped forward at the first time to help and accompany Guo Jingwen through the difficulties.
Zhu Haoliang wrote to Cai Zhensheng, asking him to go to Wuchang again to assassinate Chen Bao. As the assassination was about to succeed, Cai Zhensheng suddenly discovered that Chen Bao's escort was Guo Jingwen. After a little hesitation, he missed the best opportunity. Guo Jingwen also intends to let Cai Zhensheng off the hook.
The city's military and police are searching for assassins, and Cai Zhensheng is in danger. At the critical moment, Guo Jingwen found Cai Zhensheng. Although the two brothers are getting farther and farther apart in political beliefs, they are still best friends. Guo Jingwen has made a transfer plan. He wanted to divert the gate to guard Feng Enran, and didn't want to be caught by Feng Enran. Cai Zhensheng was directly arrested by Feng Enran and shot the next day. That night, undercover Su risked exposure and rescued Cai Zhensheng from the city.
At this time, Du Xiufeng also fell into crisis. The second husband coveted Su Zhenyu's beauty several times, but because of Zhang Baozai's secret protection, he turned the corner. Zhang Baozai and her second husband almost turned against each other. After Jia Liang learned the news, he secretly bought the second master with a lot of money and regarded him as his "inside man".
191101October10, Wuchang Uprising broke out, which shocked China and foreign countries. Zhu Haoliang led Cai Zhensheng to storm the governor's yamen, Guo Jingwen took people to death, and the two brothers declared war on each other. Seeing that the situation was wrong, Feng Enran shot Chen Bao, led the uprising and became a hero of the first righteousness. Guo Jingwen is wanted as a royalist.
Guo Jingwen escaped into the church hospital where Cai Xiaowan was located. Cai Zhensheng asked Guo Jingwen to save him from the city, as long as he was no longer sick and worked hard for the Qing court. Unexpectedly, Guo Jingwen told Cai Zhensheng that as long as he could escape from Wuchang City, he would definitely go out and kill him. A pair of good friends are completely in two opposing camps. Finally, friendship prevailed, and Cai Zhensheng skillfully sent Guo Jingwen and Cai Xiaowan out of the city. Soon, Guo Jingwen and Cai Xiaowan combined and entered the marriage hall.
After Wuchang's death, Guo Jingzhi was successfully released from prison, but she still had a deep misunderstanding about Su 18th. Zhu Haoliang, Cai Zhensheng and others tried to prove their identity to Su 18, but they were rejected by Su 18. He is sensitive to realize that Feng Enran is armed to the teeth, and have it both ways will be the enemy of the revolution in the future, so he endured humiliation, lurked again and defected to Feng Enran's door.
Cai Xiaocong encouraged Feng Zeqing to respond to the revolutionary party, announce the uprising and find a good position in the revolutionary party. Just before Feng Zeqing hesitated, Hankou recovered. Cai Xiaocong was completely disappointed with Feng Zeqing, thinking that it was difficult for him to achieve great things, and his own brother Feng Enran was a real hero because of his rise in the times. Since then, Cai Xiaocong has gradually devoted himself to Feng Enran's arms.
Guo Jingwen became a military control zone in the north, and followed oversight to Wuchang to quell the rebellion; At this time, Cai Zhensheng became the commander of the revolutionary army. The two men finally met at the front of the war and launched a fierce hand-to-hand combat. The revolutionary army was defeated. In the end, Guo Jingwen quietly spared Cai Zhensheng.
Feng enran found that Beiyang army was stronger and turned to Beiyang army. Under the secret alienation of the 18th Soviet Union, Feng Enran was not reused in Beiyang Army and was left idle. Feng Enran was indignant and vowed to be a grass king, recruit soldiers and become a local warlord. In order to solve the problem of funds and weapons, Feng Enran and Cai Xiaocong began to smuggle cultural relics and buy arms.
Jia Lianghuo set fire to Cai's rice mill and lured him down the mountain to put out the fire. When the mountain is empty, take people to cooperate with the second master, take Su Zhenyu down the mountain and put him under house arrest.
Cai Mu was unfortunately injured during the fire fighting. Xiaowan learned of the family changes, regardless of her pregnancy, resolutely bid farewell to Guo Jingwen, overcome many difficulties, and embarked on a journey home. Cai Zhensheng rushed back to Jiujiang and joined hands with him to rescue Su Zhenyu and hit Jia hard. With the help of Cai Xiaocong, Jia Liang, devastated, took the money and food that Feng Enran allocated to him and trained for Feng Enran in Jiujiang.
The "North-South Peace Talks" broke down. In order to put pressure on the revolutionary army, Guo Jingwen was ordered by Shang Feng to lead the Beiyang Army of 500 people to sneak attack the revolutionary army from Sheshan in the dark. Cai Zhensheng came to stop the attack and defeated Guo Jingwen in Sheshan. Mindful of the old friendship, Cai Zhensheng finally let Guo Jingwen go alone.
During the armistice, Cai Zhensheng investigated the smuggling of cultural relics. Undercover Su provided accurate information to Cai Zhensheng, and Cai Zhensheng finally intercepted Feng Enran's smuggling boat after crouching. Feng Enran was greatly annoyed, and Cai Xiaocong made suggestions for this. The best way to get back at Cai Zhensheng is to deal with Su Zhenyu.
Cai Xiaocong laid a conspiracy and accused Su Zhenyu's mother of being a prostitute. The combination of her and Cai Zhensheng will not only bring shame to Cai Zhensheng, but also bring shame to Cai Zhensheng and the whole Cai family. The kind Su Zhenyu was trapped by mistake and left without saying goodbye.
Guo Jingzhi met Yan Shoumin again in the field hospital. Yan Zhimin was also a traitor of Guo Jingzhi, who sternly refused. Yan Shoumin not only instructed the female dean to make things difficult for Guo Jingzhi, but also instructed his men to tear the tourniquet of the wounded under Guo Jingzhi's care when checking the hospital, resulting in excessive blood loss and death of the wounded. The female dean framed Guo Jingzhi for allegedly killing the injured. Guo Jingzhi refuses to accept. In the dispute with the female dean, she accidentally injured the female dean and had to hide in Yan Shoumin's home to become Yan Shoumin's lover.
Sue took the initiative to ask Feng Enran to monitor Jia Liang in Jiujiang. Feng Enran agreed. In fact, Su arrived in Jiujiang on 18th, and was ordered by Zhu Haoliang to alienate Jia Liang and Feng Enran, striving for Jiujiang's early independence and strongly supporting Wuchang.
The alienation of Sue 18th played a role. He helped Zhang Baozai and declared the independence of Jiujiang, which dealt a great blow to Jia Liang. This made Feng Enran panic. He decided to fight to the death and was eager to arise. Don't want to Sue 18 has surrounded Feng Enran's arsenal with Cai Zhensheng and others. In the fierce battle, Su 18 died heroically. Feng enran hid in the underground passage of the arsenal and escaped, continuing to plan the day of his comeback. Cai Xiaocong swallowed a gun and killed himself.
After Sue's death, the military government held a grand memorial service for him. Until now, Guo Jingzhi didn't know that he was wrong about Sue 18th, and everything was banned by strict adherence to the people. An angry Guo Jingzhi shot Yan Shoumin and himself was executed.
19 12 February 12, the Qing emperor abdicated and the war ended. Cai Zhensheng finally found Su Zhenyu through Zhang Baozai, and the bitter lovers finally got married.
However, the victory of 19 1 1 was stolen by Yuan Shikai, and China still suffers from frequent wars, poverty and weakness. Cai Zhensheng and Guo Jingwen fell into great pain and loss. Ten years later, they were invited to be instructors at Huangpu Military Academy. The night is long and the road is still long, and their exploration never stops.
