Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Poor Dagger (Fifth Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Two hours after everyone sat together for the last time and talked calmly, Zheng Yi led a group of deputies to respectfully see off the happy Zhou Junyan and Yu Jishi. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Subsequently, Zheng Yi immediately followed Xu Zhilin, who was so excited that his face was full of excitement after his promotion, to the arsenal of the military station to check the 50 Czech ZB26 light machine guns, 300 C96 shell guns produced by the original German Mauser factory, and 1.2 million rounds of ammunition that were awarded by Commander-in-Chief Chiang.

Zheng Yi, who knew that the crisis was coming, thought about it a little, and immediately ordered the batch of weapons to be sent to the small warehouse of the spy company in the backyard of the regiment headquarters, and then held a meeting to assign tasks:

From now on, the 1st Battalion and the 2nd Battalion will each transfer an infantry company to assist the scientists of the Wuhan Military Academy to carry out field training in turn, and the rest of the departments will cancel all field training plans and resume daily training after a week's rest!

……

……

April December, 1927.

The right wing of the Kuomintang led by Lao Chiang finally raised his butcher's knife and launched the infamous coup d'Γ©tat in Shanghai, wantonly slaughtering communists, leftists of the Kuomintang and the revolutionary masses.

From late at night on 10 April to the early morning of 13 April, a restless Zheng Yi squatted in the office of the barracks of the military station, not going anywhere, paying full attention to the progress of the incident.

Cao Mancheng and Li Zhao, who were in charge of external liaison, followed Zheng Yi throughout the whole process, and top-secret telegrams were sent out one after another, but they received very few callbacks.

It wasn't until Director Zhou, who had lost contact for many days, sent a telegram to report his safety, that Zheng Yi and Li Zhao and several party group members slowly returned to their positions.

In the days that followed, news of revolutionaries being arrested, imprisoned, and even slaughtered kept coming, and the uncertain Zheng Yi tried to grasp the faint memory in his mind, but he never succeeded.

Annoyed, Zheng Yi ordered all recruitment work to be stopped, and carried out a strict assessment of the existing recruits who had been trained for two months, and finally selected 200 recruits with excellent performance, and the remaining 900 or so were all handed over to the Nanhu Left-behind Battalion of the General Headquarters.

……

……

May 18, morning.

Zheng Yi, who was worried, rode his horse to the barren land of 15 kilometers in the southern suburbs, and guided the cadets to carry out field live-fire training.

Zheng Yi's ears suddenly roared, and his whole body was instantly full of strength, he got up from the ground, turned over and got on his horse again, hurriedly returned to the barracks, pulled Li Zhao, drove to the ferry, and rushed to Hankou, where he finally met Mr. Qiubai, a member of the Central Committee and a member of the Standing Committee of the **********.

Mr. Qiubai was secretly taken to the Zheng family compound by Li Zhao, who was dressed in civilian clothes, and after listening to Zheng Yi's urgent report, he was so anxious that he had no time to inquire about the source of information, and immediately said that he would immediately get in touch with the comrades of the Hunan Provincial District Committee who had attended the Fifth National Congress and had not yet left, and urgently reported the situation to the Comintern, and finally ordered Zheng Yi and Li Zhao to return to the headquarters immediately, and their identities must not be exposed at this juncture!

……

……

May 20, morning.

Under the pretext of protecting the legitimate interests of the people, the Wuhan Central Party Department of the Kuomintang ordered the correction of the peasant movement.

Zheng Yi immediately realized that Wang Jingwei and his faction were using speculative means to cover up their true nature, and the worry in his heart was even heavier.

On the same day, Yu Feipeng, who was irritated by Zheng Yi's constant instructions, finally sent a telegram order:

With the approval of Commander-in-Chief Chiang, the General Staff Headquarters and the Political Department, from now on, the Wuhan Military Station will stop recruiting and training recruits, and the recruit training camp of the affiliated garrison regiment and all the recruits under training will be handed over to the Wuhan Recruitment Office of the General Headquarters!

As soon as the telegram arrived, Zheng Yi was relieved, and immediately ordered the slaughter of pigs and sheep, and gave a banquet to more than 100 officers including Teng Yichun, the commander of the training camp, who had not been reused and had already had the idea of leaving, and before parting early the next morning, he gave each officer an agenda ranging from 20 to 100 oceans, and all the weapons and equipment of the recruit training camp were also brought over.

Zheng Yi's generosity and the deep friendship between his comrades-in-arms made Teng Yichun, who had never been able to bear the importance and feel extremely aggrieved, and his officers were so grateful that they had tears in their eyes, and the little resentment in their hearts disappeared in an instant.

The cancellation of the boot camp meant that the biggest safety hazard around Zheng Yi and his party group members had been eliminated, and everyone was quietly relieved that they could finally devote all their energy to the increasingly heavy training, study, and secret screening of friend and foe.

Zheng Yi still sits in the office and writes down, recording various experiences and lessons.

Since the news of the arrest, assassination, and massacre of Communist leaders in Shanghai, Guangzhou, and other places has been constantly coming, Zheng Yi's resentment has accumulated more and more, and he can hardly breathe, and the tragic death of his familiar Whampoa colleague Xiong Xiong has made Zheng Yi even more sad and indignant, and he no longer has any trust in the Comintern, let alone the slightest hope.

At the time of crisis, the grief-stricken and indignant Communists displayed their unyielding spirit and burst out with tremendous strength, launching a nationwide uprising of resistance and a counterattack by public opinion, and grand parades, demonstrations, and other activities were constantly unfolding in every large and medium-sized city north and south of the Yangtze River.

Feeling under pressure, the Wang Ching-wei government in Wuhan had no choice but to publicly condemn the atrocities of the right wing of the KMT, appease the angry Communists, and repeatedly call for "unity and continue the revolution."

It is a pity that this deceptive method of reluctance won the strong support of the Comintern, and the surging resistance movement of the Chinese Communists gradually subsided.

……

……

May 22, morning.

Unable to suppress their grief and anger, the angry Communists gathered at the Central Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang in Wuhan from all directions to question Wang Jingwei and Borodin, who had previously pledged never to massacre the Communists.

In the face of the monstrous anger of the Communists, Wang Jingwei and Borodin, who were at a loss as to what to do, had no choice but to convene a special meeting of the representatives of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and while repeatedly guaranteeing the legitimate rights and interests of the Communists, they announced the formation of a special investigation team to rush to Changsha to carry out investigations.

After Zheng Yi read Wang Jingwei's speech and Borodin's statement published in the newspaper, the whole person suddenly felt extremely tired, and the famous saying "mourning is greater than heart death" came to his mind.

Just when Zheng Yi was gradually numb, Chief of Staff Wang Huchen came in and reported: "Mr. Gu Mengyu, the party representative of the Military Academy, and the secretary of Chairman Wang Jingwei have come to visit...... Big brother, can't you see it? ”

Zheng Yi stood up suddenly, and then sat down slowly: "It's finally here....... See! ”
