Zheng Yi and Zhou Junruo took their respective musical instruments and walked side by side into the ordnance station under Baihegang, and the sixty-six brothers immediately stopped talking and laughing and quickly lined up, every face was full of smiles, and every pair of eyes were full of anticipation. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Stand upright - salute!"

Xie Xieyuan, acting director of the Ordnance Institute, gave a loud order.

Zheng Yi replied to the brothers who were saluting neatly: "Take a break! Following the order of the school committee, in order to bear in mind the hatred of the Shaji tragedy and to support the general strike of people from all walks of life in the province and Hong Kong, a large-scale propaganda activity is scheduled to be held in the People's Park in front of the Guangzhou Municipal Government on 23 June. ”

"Although our 'Whampoa Military Academy Soldier Choir' has never had any experience in formal performances, let alone achieved any results, under the care and trust of President Jiang, Director Zhou and the school leaders, we have also gained the opportunity to show our revolutionary spirit!"

Therefore, in the next five days, everyone must concentrate and go all out to practice every song well and win glory for all our teachers and students in Huangpu...... If anyone has a problem, I don't need to clean him up, and the brothers can beat him up and live on his own! ”

The brothers in the audience burst into laughter, and Zhou Junruo was also happy, shouting "Move the instrument out and prepare for practice" and go to arrange.

The Ordnance Institute is no longer under Zheng Yi's control, but is subordinate to the Ordnance Department that has long been listed but has only two nominal directors, but the twenty old brothers have great respect for the old chief Zheng Yi, and they like to say everything to Zheng Yi, and they don't look for Zheng Yi for help when they are in trouble, and they all cherish the title of "Whampoa Military Academy Soldier Choir" with a sense of belonging and honor.

Zhou Junruo finished arranging, helped his glasses, and came to Zheng Yi's side: "Let's go through the three songs that we have practiced until now before the Eastern Crusade, you listen to them, and tell me after singing if there are shortcomings." ”

The first song is "The Man Who Became a Soldier", which is sonorous and easy to learn.

When the brothers first sang this song, Zheng Yi taught them sentence by sentence, and later after nearly half a year of guidance and strict training by Zhou Junruo, the effect of singing was very good, basically reaching Zheng Yi's original requirements of "sonorous and powerful, confident and heroic", the eight brothers who served as accompaniments played very skillfully with musical instruments, but the two snare drums made of wood and galvanized iron were not accurate, and they could not reflect the majestic momentum.

The next song sung by the brothers was "Yan Nanfei", this song has a simple tune, a beautiful melody, Zhou Junruo, who has a typical literary temperament and a very high musical talent, handled it very well, and the brothers learned it very well, and the interpretation of the high and low voices and the accompaniment of national musical instruments were very outstanding, which made Zheng Yi happy and couldn't help but be impressed.

The third song, "Unity is Strength", also sang the flavor of firmness, bravery, and perseverance, which generally satisfied Zheng Yi, and the 46 brothers of the guard platoon were able to keep up after more than a month of study and joint training.

The brothers were very happy to see the satisfied smile on Zheng Yi's face, and when they heard Zheng Yi say, "Rest for a while and come back later," they immediately dispersed, and they talked and laughed in small voices and in twos.

Zheng Yi came to Zhou Junruo, who was happy, and immediately sank his face: "Why did you change my lyrics again?" ”

Zhou Junruo had already prepared: "You mean the second and third lyrics of "I Am a Soldier", right? It must be changed, you listen to your original lyrics: I am a soldier, from the common people, destroy all invaders, love the country and the people! Okay, you listen to my revised lyrics again: I am a soldier, from the common people, eliminate all the old warlords, and defeat Chen Jiongming...... Compare and see for yourself, which is better and which is inferior, at a glance! ”

Zheng Yi was speechless, thinking that you not only modified the entire paragraph of "Reading Lang" that Lao Tzu worked so hard to write, as well as the "Fascisty" in "Unity is Strength", etc., but also changed "I am a soldier" while Lao Tzu was away, I'm afraid you don't know that the lyrics of the original work are "Eliminate the Japanese invaders and eliminate the Jiang bandit army", Chen Jiongming recruited you to provoke you? ”

"Okay, even if you grasp the pulse of the times and hold the follicle of the Kuomintang, Lao Tzu reluctantly admits it, but you wait, at most, within two years, someone will change these two sentences back to the original lyrics.

Zhou Junruo saw Zheng Yi's frustrated appearance and thought that he had acquiesced, so he was proud in his heart, clapped his hands, and prepared to order the brothers to stand in line and come again.

Zheng Yi hurriedly stopped him: "Don't be busy, let me think about ......"

Zheng Yi felt that he had forgotten something, so he could only recall it slowly.

In terms of accompaniment, Shen Jinfu of the Ordnance Institute graduated from Hangzhou Industrial School and worked as a cold worker in the hardware factory for three years.

Twenty-year-old Fei Yaoguang is also good, after graduating from Jinhua Middle School, he has been an apprentice in a jewelry store for two years, it is estimated that he is used to beating and beating, and he has knocked out new tricks, but this guy is a typical five-tone incomplete, but he likes to sing, and his yellow and hoarse voice often makes the brothers stand on end, and several times in the case of unbearable persuasion and disobedience, the brothers united to hold him down and beat him, but the next day he couldn't help wailing.

At first, Fei Yaoguang was worried that he would be eliminated and abandoned by the whole collective, so in a hurry, he quietly used scrap steel pipes to process a group of nine percussion instruments, and then quietly called Zheng Yi and Zhou Junruo to the abandoned fort bunker in the back mountain, and shockingly knocked out the beautiful tune of "Yan Nanfei", and immediately moved the sentimental Zhou Junruo to tears, Zheng Yi shook his head again and again with emotion, and finally patted his thin shoulder: "Okay, I saw in you what it means for a man to be self-reliant." ”

Fei Yaoguang knelt down after listening to the "plop", hugged Zheng Yi's leg and cried, which made Zheng Yi's nose, who never easily emotional, also sore, just now I saw him beating the homemade chime very aura, and it could be seen that Zhou Junruo taught him a lot of energy.

The downside was that the armoury's own drums made of wood and tin were not in good shape, and could not be integrated into the accompaniment of other instruments.

The other thing is the lack of trumpets, right! It is a very important accompaniment instrument, the trumpet!

Zheng Yi pulled Zhou Junruo, who was wiping the accordion: "There is no problem with the percussion instrument, the two brothers from the goldsmith apprentice and the hardware factory apprentice are good, just buy the snare drum back, the erhu has Xie Xieyuan, a self-taught freak, and the other three brothers from the family play the pipa and flute well, but I still need to ask the brothers who can play the trumpet, anyway, I don't, except for the guitar with half a bucket of water, I haven't played any other instruments." ”

Zhou Junruo suddenly came to his senses. Trumpets are very important in marching bands and marches, and they cannot be learned in ten days and a half months, and he has never learned this thing himself, he frowned, thought about it for a long time, and suddenly turned to the brothers, and asked in a loud voice: "Brothers, who will play suona?" ”

The brothers looked at each other, left and right, and finally there was movement on the side of the guard platoon.

Seeing Zheng Yi looking over, the black and thin second squad leader Li Lianshan hesitantly raised his hand: "Report to the chief, I can play suona, but the deputy squad leader Wang Huchen is stronger than me, this guy is also from Shandong, his family and my family are in the same town, his family is a coffin shop, since he was a child, he learned to play suona with his father, and learned to beat gongs and drums with his eldest brother, when he doesn't sell coffins, as long as someone does a red and white wedding, he and his brother must be invited to blow and blow, from the age of eight to the present thirteen years, it is definitely better than me to blow." ”

The brothers burst into laughter, Zheng Yi couldn't laugh either, Zhou Junruo shrugged his shoulders after laughing, and spread his hands very angrily as a foreigner: "Look, isn't this solved, haha!" Remember, before noon tomorrow, you have to buy back two small and one middle school, a large number of Western snare drums, three trumpets are exempted, and replaced with two suona, I can also get the effect out. ”

Early the next morning, Zheng Yi reported to Zhou Junyan about the choir, and immediately received Zhou Junyan's strong support: "Don't say five days, it's no problem for ten days, put down all the things in your hands, I'll let others do it, go back and add up the money spent on buying musical instruments, write a report to me, I will make it up to you from the reserve fund of the Quartermaster Department, this is a business matter, don't spend your own money!" ”

"Thank you, Uncle Shi! Then I'm in town. Zheng Yi finished speaking and left.

Zhou Junyan stopped Zheng Yi and asked in a low voice, "Have you sold your 1,000 shell guns and 100,000 bullets?" ”

Zheng Yi replied truthfully: "No, after reporting to you and Chief Yu last time, I immediately moved all the guns and ammunition to the No. 4 warehouse of our quartermaster department, and I haven't touched it so far." ”

"Leave it to me, Li Fulin's Fu army has been expanded, rifles and machine guns are available, but there are no short guns, and now the barge gun has risen to thirty-six dollars and is not in stock, even if it is handed over to the foreign bank for a deposit, it will take three months to half a year, I will help you sell it to Li Fulin, stay in this place for a long time and cause trouble." Zhou Junyan said with a smile.

Zheng Yi was very happy: "Uncle Shi, you just look at it, a shell gun is twenty-eight dollars, and the bullet plus freight is sixty dollars per box, and the little nephew will not ask for it." ”

Zhou Junyan laughed: "Your money is a fart!" I'll get you back as much as you sell, and if you don't want to, get me a pair of German Navy telescopes, and I'll give them away. ”

"This thing is not easy to get, I will go to the Shamian Concession and ask the Germans by the way, if there are ten pairs, I will buy them back, if not, you take my pair first, I won't need it for a while." Zheng Yi said with a smile.

Zhou Junyan was very satisfied: "Then give me your pair first, and tell you something, don't spread it after hearing it: President Jiang is about to expand the army, and he has preliminarily decided to organize it into three divisions, for which your Uncle Yu Shi is so busy that he is dizzy, and there are few capable people around him, and the reason why he has not sent you to go is because I am worried that there is no trustworthy person around me who can do things." ”

"Now I'm also ready to go, go to the principal's side to help him prepare the headquarters and prepare for the Second Eastern Crusade, if you follow me again, you will lose many opportunities to exercise, so I want you to go to your Uncle Yu Shi...... He has a lot of opportunities there, he is promoted quickly, and he can be on his own after working for a year and a half, which is much better than staying in the military academy or following me to mix qualifications step by step. ”

"You have to be mentally prepared, and the appointment will be issued to you early next month."

Zheng Yi didn't expect it to be so soon, he was a little stunned, he had just been promoted to two levels for a few days!

"What? Do you still want to stay in a military school? Zhou Junyan asked with a smile.

Zheng Yi hurriedly shook his head: "I just think that good things come too quickly, and I can't believe it!" ”

Zhou Junyan laughed: "Compared to those who have been promoted to three levels in a row, what are you?" If you had done it according to real achievements and meritorious deeds, you should have been promoted to three levels in a row, and you would have suffered a loss in terms of age, understand? ”

"But now we must not be distracted, we must be calm, this political propaganda campaign is very important from top to bottom, when the time comes, not only the president and the people of the Central Party Department will participate, but also Russian advisers and representatives of the Communist Party.

"Remember!"

Zheng Yi subconsciously stood up and saluted, his face full of solemnity.
