The rainstorm that lasted for more than two hours was coming to an end, the heavy clouds in the sky slowly drifted northward, and the blazing sun once again sprinkled the earth, and the whole city of Guangzhou was like a steamer on a stove. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As soon as the day cleared, tens of thousands of teachers and students of colleges and universities, trade union members, and Whampoa officers and soldiers regathered in large and small parks to continue to angrily denounce and fiercely attack British imperialism for the brutal shooting of soldiers and civilians who had caused the "Shaji Massacre," and called on the people of the whole country to unite and hold a huge general strike in Guangdong and Hong Kong to protest against the atrocities of imperialism and resist the shameless plundering of impoverished China by imperialism.

At the entrance of the Xiguan photo studio, Zheng Yi, dressed in a military uniform and armed with live ammunition, whispered thanks to the boss who was about to close the door and close the business in solidarity with the strike.

The post hall was crowded with people, the noise was like a busy city, and most of the people who sent telegrams and made phone calls were full of anxiety and hurried, Zheng Yi and Duan Xuan took a lot of effort to find a place, glued the forty-six letters of credit paste from the brothers, pasted them with stamps, and put them into the mailbox on the left side of the hall one by one.

Zheng Yi squeezed out the dirty air of the post office and came to the gate, couldn't help but raise his head to the sky and take a deep breath of fresh air, Duan Xuan, who was covered with sweat, walked forward beside Zheng Yi, straightened the shell holster around his waist, and asked worriedly: "Big brother, will the post office also strike?" ”

Zheng Yi replied as he walked: "No, the post office, telephone and telegraph office, power plant, waterworks, steamship companies and other departments will not participate in this general strike, just issue a statement and call a telegram of solidarity, otherwise the entire city of Guangzhou will be paralyzed." ”

Duan Xuan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good, otherwise I'm really worried that my father and mother won't be able to receive the letter." ”

Zheng Yi glanced at the slogans posted all over the street and the pedestrians with nervous expressions, lowered his head, and continued to walk towards the riverside, although he had a pair of eyes that saw through the fog, but he could not do anything about what had happened and was about to happen, he could not even change his situation, he could only be placed in the surging tide of history and drift with the tide.

Xiguan Wharf is not as busy as it used to be, no one has picked up the garbage everywhere, dozens of small operating boats moored on both sides of the wharf have a bleak business, police officers in pairs and threes hide in the shade of trees or sheds to take a cooler, and the boatmen who do short-distance transportation business do not dare to go up to greet Zheng Yi and Duan Xuan who are wearing military uniforms and weapons.

Zheng Yi and Duan Xuan walked up to the dock, and a businessman over forty years old wearing a short-sleeved shirt greeted them with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, I didn't expect to see you here, haha!" Are you going back to military school? ”

"That's right, the military academy's transportation boats are very busy, and they won't serve me as a little person, so I have to hire a boat to go back, Uncle Liang, your old man won't be waiting for me here, right?" Zheng Yi asked with a smile.

Liang Yaokun, who is the comprador of Swire Pacific, laughed: "I'll give you a ride, it just so happens that I am also going to the shipyard." ”

Zheng Yi thought for a while: "Then there is Lao Lao's old man." ”

Duan Xuan didn't know Liang Yaokun's identity, and he didn't know that his boss had been a colleague with Liang Yaokun for a few months before entering the Whampoa Military Academy, but he knew that his boss had a wide range of connections and many ways, so it was not surprising that he followed him on the boat, and when Zheng Yi introduced him to Liang Yaokun after the boat, he just smiled and didn't speak.

The small steel-hulled boat loaded with a diesel engine drove two miles, and then Liang Yaokun told the truth: "Mr. White entrusted me to ask you, he is deeply worried about the more and more extensive strike movement, I don't know how long it will take to end, we workers ask everywhere but there is no result, my wife and children have to eat, worry!" ”

Zheng Yi smiled, thinking that you are in a hurry now? It's still too early to finish! Except for Zheng Yi, I am afraid that even the sages who launched the general strike in the world do not know that the general strike in Guangdong and Hong Kong will last for a year and a half, which will not only go down in the glorious history of the struggle of the working class for survival and freedom, but will also affect every corner of the world, bringing great shock and influence to the working class and proletarians all over the world.

Liang Yaokun saw Zheng Yi's appearance as if he was smiling, and couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart: "Xiao Zheng, I'm really worried, is it going to last for a long time?" ”

Zheng Yi shook his head: "Uncle Liang, your old man doesn't look at what kind of person I am, how can you know about such a confidential matter?" Instead of asking me, why don't you go to the high-ranking officials of the provincial government that you are familiar with, oh yes! Didn't you and Lao Cai, who is in charge of the Guangxi market, drink with Mr. Hu Hanmin? Mr. Hu is currently the most promising political figure to become Mr. Zhongshan's successor. ”

Liang Yaokun sighed: "People are now developed, busy forming a national government, and they don't let us in, where do you remember asking us to donate at the beginning?" At the beginning, Lao Cai and I helped him and Wang Zhaoming a lot, and sent 150,000 oceans to the two of them three times before and after, but now people don't recognize people......"

"Alas! If you don't mention this kind of bad thing, you can blame yourself for having no eyes! ”

Zheng Yi angrily picked out the hidden feelings: "If you are offended, you can't blame others, you are not the only one who donated money at the beginning, the entire Guangzhou business community has donated money more or less openly and secretly, most of them have the idea of destroying wealth and eliminating disasters, how many people foresaw that the revolutionary army would become the master of Guangzhou so soon?" ”

"Mr. White is the same, I have told him more than once: believe me, within a year the revolutionary army will win the final victory, and the whole of Guangdong will definitely be under the rule of the Nationalist Government, so you must put aside your prejudices and be friendly to the military government!"

"But how did he do it? Not only did he not believe it, but he also sneered at me, and it is estimated that he still does not believe it, and will say that Chen Jiongming, who is supported by our British Empire, has not fallen, and still has the strength to make a comeback, and at the same time entrenched in northern Guangdong and opposed the revolutionary army, Deng Benyin, who occupies the southwest of Guangdong and the entire Qiongzhou, and Fan Shisheng, who has been stationed in the northern suburbs of Guangzhou and controls the Shijing Arsenal, and so on...... are all the henchmen of the Republic of China government! ”

"Hey, he doesn't look at what kind of goods these people are, can he resist the joint attack of the growing Whampoa Army and the gradually returning Cantonese Army?"

Before this, Liang Yaokun's thoughts were the same as White's, but after listening to Zheng Yi's words, he was not calm, he was far more familiar with the national situation than the British, familiar with the situation in the entire Guangzhou and the warlords who dominated all parts of Guangdong, so he began to believe in Zheng Yi's prediction: The most powerful Yunnan-Guizhou warlords have been eradicated by the Whampoa Army and the Guangdong Army, how long can the other warlords last?

When the boat arrived at the Whampoa Military Academy wharf, Liang Yaokun, who was very worried, took out a cardboard box containing ten British cigarettes and gave it to Zheng Yi: "The gift that Mr. White asked me to hand over is the Marlboro cigarette you like, which is the windproof light machine I gave you, the latest style that is popular this year...... This bottle is a special fire oil for lighters, take it. ”

Zheng Yi was also not polite, and accepted it and handed it to Duan Xuan: "Thank you, Uncle Liang!" Go back and tell Mr. White that if you believe me, you can move the import and export business to Shanghai as soon as possible, and although the competition is fierce, the market is much bigger and there are more opportunities. ”

"Isn't it more chaotic over there in Shanghai?" Liang Yaokun asked suspiciously.

Zheng Yi sighed: "Don't believe what the newspaper says, there is not much to believe in the major newspapers in Guangzhou today except for the date, Shanghai is under the jurisdiction of the northern government, and most of the northern government is a boneless surrender faction, so the situation in Shanghai will soon calm down, dance and dance, horses and run, business is still done, and the most important thing is that there is no revolutionary army in Shanghai!" ”

Liang Yaokun suddenly realized, jumped on the pier and grabbed Zheng Yi's hand gratefully: "Thank you Xiao Zheng, thank you!" I must tell you truthfully, even if Mr. White is unwilling, I will have to find a way to transfer to the Shanghai company, I really can't stay here, you ...... Alas! Take care of yourself! ”

Not long after Zheng Yi returned to the dormitory of the military academy, Zhou Junruo, who had been promoted to the major chief of the audit department, came to Zheng Yi and handed Zheng Yi a notice issued by the school committee. ”

Zhou Junruo hurriedly put down the teacup: "That's right!" The major colleges and universities and the trade unions at the provincial and municipal levels all took part in this tremendous propaganda campaign, for which the school committee gave us a special grant of 200 yuan, and the repertory troupe, the Young Servicemen's Federation, and the Sun Wenism Society received even more, and in addition to ensuring their monthly activity funds, they were given another 500 yuan to each of their associations. ”

Zheng Yi turned to Duan Xuan, who was standing on the side: "You go and inform the brothers to end the training, as well as the brothers from the Ordnance Institute, so that everyone can put down their work for the time being, and concentrate on practicing the song in the next five days, and I will go over with Section Chief Zhou later." ”

"Yes!"

Duan Xuan trotted out excitedly.

Zhou Junruo smiled brightly: "Finally waited for the opportunity, after I came back from the front line, I insisted on teaching the brothers of the Ordnance Institute to sing every day, teaching them to play musical instruments, the three songs you left behind are all sung well, and the accompaniment is becoming more and more proficient, plus the "I am a soldier" and "Return from Target Shooting" often sung by the brothers in the guard platoon under your command, adding up to five songs, which is enough to support half of the stage of our military academy and blow the horn of our Whampoa Army battle!" ”

Zheng Yi was also excited in his heart, but he was calmer than anyone else: "Don't be too happy, there are many masters in the drama troupe and other clubs, and there are even more masters in Sun Yat-sen University and Women's Normal University, and they are not singing in our military academy, but in front of thousands of workers and ordinary people at large gatherings in the city, and the difficulty is not ordinary." ”

Zhou Junruo nodded with a smile, and took the opportunity to make a request to Zheng Yi: "Our accompaniment instruments are too few, too monotonous, at least four Western snare drums and three trumpets need to be added, and the two hundred oceans allocated by the school are not enough at all, you are a rich man, you have to find a way." ”

"Is this necessary?"

As soon as Zheng Yi heard it, he knew that this guy had premeditated, even if he didn't have this political propaganda mission to support the general strike in Guangdong and Hong Kong, he would have made his own mind sooner or later.

Zhou Junruo immediately stood up and told Zheng Yi very seriously: "It is very necessary! If nothing else, remember the announcement you made in the officer's cafeteria at the beginning of the year? Didn't you want to make the 'Whampoa Military Academy Soldiers' Choir you formed yourself a blockbuster? Now that the opportunity has come, what are you waiting for? ”

Zheng Yi was speechless, he never forgot his promise, otherwise he would not teach his brothers to sing every day, and what made him embarrassed was not to spend money to buy a few snare drums and a few trumpets, but to go to the heavily guarded Shamian Concession, where the shops selling Western musical instruments were all in the Shamian Concession.
