At this time, the forward troops had already crossed Shaliangzi, and the follow-up troops were divided into several columns to pick up the dam boundary, the rice pond and the river ditch, and advanced separately. The military headquarters and the guard regiment immediately followed. Jiao Cheng, Han Linfu and Advisor Li walked forward with the 3rd Battalion of Guards, and Advisor Li took advantage of this to inquire him about the tenants and the masses in the basement.

After asking, Consultant Li said to Director Han: "I heard that the tenant investigation report you wrote back then was very detailed...... Director Han said: "Alas, those things we put together back then were chased and killed by the prince's horse team in the Grandpa's Mansion and were all separated, but the people at the bottom of this place left a deep impression on me, and if I had to choose, I would choose this place to carry out revolutionary ......."

Jiao Cheng heard them talk about revolution and other words, so he looked at them very carefully, he thought for a long time, and said: "Doesn't your army have a cadet corps, in fact, I also want to join the cadet corps and follow you to resist the Japanese ......"

When the troops passed through Tongxian County in Beijing, there were still some cadet corps recruits on the road, and when they passed through Luanping Saddle Craftsman Tun, they also recruited a few young students who came from Chengde and were introduced by Chen Jinghu, and they all joined the ranks of the cadet corps.

But Han Linfu looked at Jiao Cheng in front of him and felt that it was not very appropriate to recruit him. Because he took him away from then on, he was sorry for Mr. Jiao, and he didn't have an introducer, and he really didn't know his details.

Jiao Cheng was very disappointed when he saw Han Linfu's attitude. He turned to Consultant Li and said: "In fact, when my father died of illness, I was forced to drop out of school, why didn't I return to Zhili No. 1 Middle School to continue my studies after dealing with my father's funeral, mainly because I couldn't rest assured of my wife." But over the years, there are a few good classmates that we have been in touch with.

At that time, they also strongly persuaded me to go back to school and continue my studies, and were willing to sponsor me to go to a higher university, but my mother's health has not been good, and besides, I feel that I can't go to school by spending other people's money. I still learned about your 41st Army's going to resist Japan from my classmates. Actually, I really want to follow you to resist Japan......"

Director Han kept thinking about this matter, and then he finally figured it out, so he smiled and said to Jiao Cheng: "I didn't immediately agree to you to join the student corps just now, I also have other considerations, I think you left like this, first, there is no one to take care of your old mother in the house, and second, my department does this, I'm sorry for Old Man Jiao......

I think that you don't necessarily go to the front line to resist Japan or participate in the revolution, you should be your housekeeper in the Jiao family for the time being. In normal times, he disseminated some new culture, new ideas, and anti-Japanese information and ideas to Jiao Yuanwai, so as to help him become a more enlightened gentleman and make greater contributions to the anti-Japanese resistance.

While you do a good job as your housekeeper, pay more attention to the movements of the bottom society, if one day, we send the devils back to our hometown, we will also carry out the agrarian revolution here and develop the party organization. You can see that you are very revolutionary, and in the future you can join the Communist Youth League, and if there are young people who are as revolutionary as you, you can join the Youth League and strive to contribute to the revolution......"

When they said this, they deliberately distanced themselves from the fighters of the guard battalion. Everyone walked while talking, and came to the mouth of the Luan River, at this time the army gathered on the west bank of the mouth of the Luan River, waiting for the order of the headquarters. Some troops wanted to swim across the river, some troops wanted to build pontoon bridges, and Commander Sun also arrived, and when he stepped forward, the current was still too fast, and the waves of the river could not even hear the sound of talking by the river.

He stretched out his hand and tried it, the water was so cold, the weather was so cold, the soldiers were all wearing single clothes, and if they swam across the river and had no clothes to change, they would get frostbite.

As soon as Jiao Cheng turned around and saw the people not far from the village along the Luan River, he ran to ask them if they had seen how the troops had passed just now? Seeing that it was Steward Jiao, many people came out to talk, and some people said that they saw the troops coming down from the upstream gold mine ditch. Jiao Cheng suddenly understood, he shouted as he ran: "There is ice at the gate of the upstream gold mine ditch, and the big ice has not melted there, you can go there and step on the ice...... Some villagers came over and wanted to help......

The guard regiment immediately headed forward to open the road, and the headquarters followed by the way, and sure enough, the ice was still very thick, and the river was flowing under the ice, and it was feasible to step on the ice. Chief of Staff Zhang Yongtai commanded the troops to step on the ice in order. The personnel of the headquarters all jumped off their horses and led their horses over the ice, and so did Commander Sun. The ice is 50 meters wide, so you really have to walk for a while. Commander Sun was very happy when he saw that the army had crossed the Luan River without any trouble, turned around to find Jiao Cheng, and kept praising him......

Advisor Li, Han Linfu and Li Qi, as well as the comrades in the cadet corps who were not assigned to the company, all followed Jiao Cheng and rushed forward with the guard regiment, because he was leading the way, and he had to guide him where to go and which mountain road to take.

Consultant Li asked about the geography and people of this place, and Jiao Cheng introduced: "This Luanhe River originates from the Bashang Plateau, flows down thousands of times, flows through the old Qianling in Xigou, and brings a piece of rice and grain to this area, thanks to the nourishment and irrigation of the Luanhe River. Outside Jiao, the surname Jiao is Xi, the word Qingshan, likes to read poetry and books, and cares about the world.

Although he and I are one master and one servant, we still have a lot of topics when we are together. Two days ago, people introduced him to a room and his wife, and I persuaded him that he already had several rooms, and this one could not be asked for anymore. Although he was unwilling, he finally gave up. He is a banner man, the Yellow Flag of Manchuria, and in this area, his identity is special.

In the early years, the land along the Luanhe River was obtained by his grandfather by the emperor and came here to run the horse and stand in the circle. Later, the landlords of Jingoutun added the Niu family, the Ao family, and the Bai family, and bred down, becoming the four surnames of Jiao Niu Ao Bai, which are famous far and wide. In Jingoutun, there are also the four small surnames of Wang Zhou, Liu and Sun, and at the beginning, almost all of the four small surnames were carried by the four surnames......" He also told some interesting stories about Jiao Zhuangtou in Jingoutun, which made Consultant Li and Director Han laugh.

When he was about to reach the top of Yuciliang, Jiao Cheng looked at others a little farther away, and said, "I can't continue to go to school, I'm actually unwilling." I remember that at the end of 1928, a few people who were engaged in riots came to make a revolution in the area of Zhang Baiwan and Lamadong, and I was so happy. Several young people from Ximen Village and Shanwan Village who were good with me followed me to the Lama Cave to participate in the riots. I was still secretly happy that I had dropped out of school and had caught up with the revolution at my doorstep...... But as soon as we arrived between Shangzhudian and Liujiatai, we heard that the revolutionaries had been driven away by the bully landlord Liu Jingwu......"

As the conversation increased, Director Han felt that his understanding of Jiao Cheng was deepening. When they arrived at the top of Yuciliang, all the departments increased their speed, and the 118th Brigade Advance Guard Regiment ran ahead to overtake the army headquarters and the guard regiment, and all the troops behind also rushed forward.

Director Han saw that the time was already more than three o'clock, the main force of the army had already gone down the mountain, and the troops who came up one after another were walking on the mountain road, which was no longer very crowded, so he said to Jiao Cheng: "Brother Jiao Cheng, thank you for leading the way and your strong support for this army, as well as your identification with the revolutionary cause, we are very happy to meet you on the road of resistance against Japan, thank you......"

Jiao Cheng said: "I am not a revolutionary person yet, just an ordinary person, and it is reasonable for you to be wary of me. But I've been in contact with you for a long time, and I've said a lot of things, and I've said a lot of things from my heart, so you guys should take me with you at this moment, right? ”

As soon as Director Han heard his words, he looked up at Advisor Li, and said with a smile: "Little brother, I haven't finished talking yet, didn't I tell you just now, if you have the heart to resist Japan, you can play a role anywhere." You immediately go down the mountain and return to Jingoutun, and return to Old Jiao. Let's just say that our 41st Army Commander Sun asked you to pass on the message, and all our anti-Japanese soldiers thank him, the mountains do not turn around, we will meet again, and we will always be friends.

From now on, while you strive to help Jiao Laowai become a more enlightened gentry, you will have more contact with the rich people of the Niu family, the Ao family, and the Bai family, and use your status to remind or cause them to become enthusiastic supporters of the anti-Japanese ...... In addition, without revealing their identities, they should keep in touch with the tenants, disseminate the new situation and new ideas to them, do a good job at the bottom, and welcome the arrival of the revolution......

Now that you are coming down the mountain, there is an important thing for you to do. After you and Mr. Jiao return to their lives, I hope you will mobilize some people to help our artillery brigade successfully pass through the Luanhe estuary and climb this Yuciliang smoothly...... You see, your task is not small, right? ”

Jiao Cheng was a little happy and a little stunned after hearing this, and said: "You have gone down to Yuciliang, it is the Yixun River, and the village on the right bank of the river is Hongqi Village, which is also the Zhenghongqi in the Manchu Qing Dynasty." If you go along the left bank, there is also Baiqi Village on the side of the road, and you can go all the way from Baiqi Village to Longhua.

I don't know what to call you, but in my eyes, you're not the same as them...... I received a letter from my classmates a few days ago, saying that you are recruiting in the Corps, and I am so happy...... Okay, I'll call you revolutionaries, please take care, I'll wait for your news at home. What you ask me to do, I will do to the best of my ability. If the anti-Japanese resistance really ends, you must come to me......"

Han Linfu smiled and said, "Don't worry, someone will contact you then......"
