3. Lucky
February 25, 1933.
Sun Dianying, who is seven or eight meters tall, is dressed in a gray-blue uniform, which shows his thin and thin figure. A wide belt was tied around his waist, and his shiny riding boots, along with the straps of his cross-body guns, were shining. Coupled with his bare head, it was a little dazzling under the early spring sun, and he exuded a lean air all over his body.
He, along with a cadre of his subordinates from the military headquarters of the 41st Army, as well as staff officers, adjutants, and guards, were escorting a large group of military horses and walking mightily on the Pingre Avenue leading from Beiping to Rehe.
Now 44 years old, although he is in a high position as a military commander, he has been worried about the food, drink and Lazar of tens of thousands of horses all day long. This is also the annotation he often finds for the earth-shattering tomb robbery he committed five years ago.
However, from the excavation of Dongling in 1928, and then to Jincheng, Shanxi, due to the shortage of military funds, or various reasons, he allowed his subordinates to steal and dig many ancient tombs. But there is no longer an ancient tomb, like the tombs of Qianlong and Cixi, the treasures are full of coffins, the pillars are close to the wall, and the number of vehicles is countless......
He often lamented in his heart that he had never gotten anything of great value again. But he felt that the harvest after that was far greater than the Tanglin treasure theft on the other hand. He was faintly pleased that some of the legendary Communists he met later were either accidental or fateful.
In the autumn of 1932, Xuanxia's father was appointed by the Communist Party of China to do anti-Japanese work in the 41st Army in Jincheng, Shanxi. A soldier in the military headquarters of the 41st Army in Jincheng reported that there was a person outside the city who asked to see him, claiming to be Xuanxia's father...... When Commander Sun heard this, wasn't he the one who put Lao Jiang aside and dropped out of the Whampoa Military Academy? I heard that I have a very strong ability to move, and I have a three-inch tongue that can come to my 41st Army as a guest, and I can't ask for it......
Then he said happily: "Pass my order, and all the officials will go out of the city with me to meet a guest, the cavalry regiment, and prepare five good horses, and I will go out to meet ...... with the highest courtesy."
The officials and others led by Sun Dianying, among which there were also several local gentry and celebrities in Jincheng, all dressed up. They walked to Wulidian, only to see that there was a dusty man, tall, black-faced, magnificent, with a good gesture, all of whom performed well.
Sun Dianying stepped forward, clasped his fists with both hands, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask Mr. Xuanxia's father, General Xuan?" ”
Xuanxia's father strode forward, while he had already looked at the gang for a long time, and saw that someone behind him was pulling five fat horses, and the behavior of the person who came forward to ask was not ordinary. ”
Sun Dianying nodded yes, and the deputy commander Zha Fengting stepped forward to introduce them one by one, and Xuanxia's father also bowed his hands separately. After the introduction, Xuanxia's father pointed to the five horses and said to Sun Dianying: "Commander Sun, the contemptible person is just a scholar, Commander He Lao welcomes him so politely, I really dare not accept it!" ”
When Sun Dianying heard him say this, his eyes lit up, and he said happily: "The general is a well-known Huangpu monster in the world, and it is a great luck for all the officers and men of my 41st Army to come to my Jincheng to meet, and it is also a great luck for me Sun Dianying himself...... I feel too low to greet me like this......"
Xuanxia's father said: "Raising my brother so highly, I'm afraid that I will lose the high hopes of the army commander!" ”
Deputy Army Commander Zha Fengting raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "There is an old Chinese saying that it is very happy to have friends from afar!" Commander Sun is thirsty for talent, but he is worried that he has no close friends. What he said was from his heart, General Xuan, don't be polite......"
After speaking, Sun Dianying was in the center, and the officials on both sides lined up with goose wings, and at the same time said loudly: "General Xuan, please ......"
Sun Dianying and his entourage welcomed Xuanxia's father into Jincheng, came to the military headquarters of the 41st Army on North Street, and sat down as the guest and host. Commander Sun Dianying, Deputy Commander Zha Fengting, Chief of Staff Wang Zhushi, and Brigade Commander Ding Boting and other high-ranking officers of the 41st Army accompanied Xuanxia's father to have tea.
Xuanxia's father couldn't help but drink tea while talking to them about the customs along the way, and the parents were short. China is in an eventful year, and the domestic situation is turbulent and worrisome. In a few words, Xuanxia's father was introduced from daily trivial matters to national affairs.
Speaking of state affairs, Sun Dianying couldn't help sighing, he said: "Brother Xuan, General Xuan, you are right to leave Huangpu, Chiang Kai-shek has the final say for one person, and he can do anything." My Sun Dianying doesn't have your courage......"
Xuanxia's father was amused by his words and said, "Commander, am I called courageous? My annoying ......" several people in the room laughed as they talked.
Xuanxia's father made a cup of tea and said, "Don't say that I am bold, is your spirit still small?" Everyone in the world knows that General Feng Yuxiang drove Pu Yi out of the Forbidden City, General Sun, you dug the tomb of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, for example, in today's China, who else has been so ruthless to the Tartars who have ruled China for more than 200 years? ”
Sun Dianying just took a sip of tea, and when he heard him say this, he didn't swallow a mouthful of tea, but squirted out...... Everyone laughed, he wiped his mouth and said, "Someone said this before, but General Xuan, you don't know, I'm worried about this matter......
Xuanxia's father said in surprise: "Why is the army commander distressed, is it because Zhang Xueliang doesn't pay salaries?" ”
Sun Dianying put down the teacup, leaned back against the backrest, and said with a sigh: "My grandson dug up the tomb of the Tartars, but I didn't have anything, and now I only have the infamy of a tomb robber general......
After speaking, he looked at Xuanxia's father like a plea for help. Xuanxia's father took another sip of tea and said solemnly: "It is not difficult for the military commander to wash away the infamy of the tomb robber general. ”
Sun Dianying said: "Chiang Kai-shek will only exclude dissidents, counting on him to be useless; The young marshal listened to Lao Jiang, lost the Northeast, and was also in a dilemma; Dare to ask General Xuan what is the best plan? ”
Xuanxia's father said: "In today's China, the Japanese have to look forward to Shu and are pressing forward step by step. Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang carried out the policy of settling the interior before attacking the outside world, and played a passive anti-Japanese calculation. The young marshal regretted giving up the Northeast and letting the great rivers and mountains of the Northeast fall into the hands of the Japanese. Because of the implementation of Chiang Kai-shek's policy of non-resistance, he was infamous as a general of non-resistance. The latest news: The invincible Japanese devils are stepping up their invasion of Rehe Province, and the young marshal is also sending troops to fight the Japanese in a decisive battle in Rehe?"
Sun Dianying said: "The young marshal is going to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese invaders, and he has talked to me and ordered my unit to go to Chifeng to resist the Japanese ...... for the Ninth Army."
Xuanxia's father said: "After the 918 incident, the Japanese devils occupied the northeast, and Chiang Kai-shek, in order to preserve his strength, luckily thought that the devils would not invade to the south.
Under the bloody massacre of the Japanese devils, from Baishan and Heishui in the north to southern Liaoning and Yanshan in the south, the Communist Party-led Anti-Japanese Federation and no less than 300,000 anti-Japanese volunteers are fighting with the devils to the end. Zhang Xueliang can regret that he went to the front line of the Great Wall with the whole army, which shows that he and Lao Jiang are really not the same kind of people.
The young marshal wants to go back to the Northeast with tears to wash away the infamy of not resisting the general, why can't you, commander, go to kill the enemy and wash away the crime of robbing the general?
I am the descendants of dragons on the land of China, and there have been many generous and sad people since ancient times. Let the Chinese people die under the iron hooves of the Japanese, and the great rivers and mountains will be trampled by the Mishima Japanese? We must not be in the same league as those in Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang and betray the motherland and conscience......"
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he put the teacup on the coffee table and said: "Now, under the initiative of the Communist Party, the whole country, regardless of the north and the south, and the people of the old and the young, have taken action and vowed to drive the Japanese invaders out of China......
Sun Dianying was so excited when she heard this, she also put down the teacup and said, "Am I still a soldier, the young marshal said that, why am I still confused?" When you say this, my heart is bright, and there is a way to listen to your words, which is better than reading a book for ten years! Come on, come on, let's drink three hundred cups......"
Commander Sun was glad that he could walk on the road to kill the enemy and resist Japan today, and he was so grateful to Xuanxia's father in his heart, this person was like a living treasure; Talking is like a spilled bead, splashed jade, which makes people enlighten at once. Is it too small to appoint him secretary general of the 41st Army?
Although from time to time there were staff officers and heralds who came back to ask him or Chief of Staff Wang Zhushi for orders, which always interrupted his thoughts, he could not help but walk into his memories with pleasure, and he thought of Advisor Li who was in front of the horse, as well as Major General Han Linfu, director of the Political Training Department, and Li Qi, the nephew of Adviser Li, who appointed Li Qi as the chief of the operations section...... These people, if I had met you earlier, my Sun Laodian might not have gone to rob the tomb and dig the grave......
That year, I owed more than half a year's salary, and I wanted to replace the old equipment, alas, I took a risk, but who knew that the treasure was in hand, but it became a hot potato, and there were so many troubles around the treasure, which really alarmed Nanjing and Beiping...... As a last resort, he took out some of the most valuable things from them and touched all walks of life to get himself through that difficulty...... Alas.
