Zheng Yi led the division headquarters, the second regiment of the instructor, the two companies of the teaching regiment, and more than 100 local comrades to arrive at Shengfang Town controlled by the special service company on time.

Shengfang Town is located in the southern suburbs of Lianhua County, east of Longtian, south of Shenquan and west of Shenquan, north of Qinting, only seven kilometers away from the county seat, but until this time, the local comrades sent to Lianhua County to investigate are still nowhere to be found.

Political commissar Li Zhao was a little drumming in his heart, and Qin Shuming, deputy secretary of the Yongxin County Party Committee, also began to worry, and the thoughtful Wang Huchen speculated:

It is likely that the Autumn Harvest Uprising troops could not confirm the true identities of the three groups of comrades and could not judge the authenticity of the information, so they had not yet made a final decision, so naturally they would not let the three groups of comrades come back to report the news.

After a little weighing, everyone unanimously agreed with Wang Huchen's analysis, and began to discuss how to get in touch with the troops of the Autumn Harvest Uprising.

Do you want to go to Lianhua County, or do you send a team to say hello and explain the situation first?

Zheng Yi originally wanted to test the decision-making ability of several deputies, but when he saw everyone's hesitant performance, he was quite disappointed, and had to act arbitrarily again: "Dong Zongzhuo, Duan Xuan-"

"Here!"

Dong Zongzhuo and Duan Xuan, who were suddenly named, were taken aback, and hurriedly ran from the edge of the shed to Zheng Yi, held their heads high, and stood upright and saluted.

Zheng Yi pointed to the two bamboo poles that had just been cut not far away, and commanded loudly: "Go!" Find a party flag and a military flag to hold up, each with two guards to ride to the Lotus City, there will naturally be people waiting for you in the city, if they still don't believe it, just report my name and say that I, Zheng Yi, will be there soon! ”

"Yes!"

Dong Zongzhuo and Duan Xuan were excited when they heard this, and they ran to carry out the order in a blink of an eye.

Zheng Yi looked at the rest of the people with a solemn expression: "Gather the team, take their own duties, and put up all the party flags and military flags, this place is still fourteen or fifteen miles away from the Lotus City in the north, and within two hours, we must drive to the Lotus City with the most neat formation and the most full spirit!" ”

"Yes—"

……

……

Lianhua County is famous for its abundant lotus, it is located in the west of Jiangxi Province, south of Pingxiang, bordering Anfu in the northeast, Yongxin in the southeast, Chaling and Youxian in Hunan Province in the southwest, and Luxi in the north, the geographical location is very important.

Because Lotus is located in the middle of the Luoxiao Mountains, it belongs to a typical mountainous and hilly area, the terrain is high in the northeast and west, low in the middle and south, surrounded by mountains, known as "seven and a half mountains, one and a half fields, one water surface and manor", in the 16 years of the Republic of China, which basically has no industrial transportation and is very backward, it is a typical poor small county in western Jiangxi.

At this time, the situation in Lotus City was far more complicated than Wang Huchen and Zheng Yi had speculated.

The party organization in Lianhua County was basically destroyed, and the person in charge either sacrificed or fled to other parties, so it can be said that there is no one who can be contacted and trusted.

Let's look at the troops of the Autumn Harvest Uprising.

At the beginning of the uprising, the Hunan Provincial Party Committee decided to set up a committee of former enemies of the party composed of military leaders, appointed Mao as secretary as the military command organ for the armed uprising, and at the same time unified the troops into the First Division of the First Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, with Lu Deming as the commander-in-chief and Yu Shandu as the division commander.

The division has three regiments: the former Wuhan National Government Guard Regiment is the main force and is organized as the first regiment, with the regiment commander Zhong Wenzhang; The Anyuan Workers' Picket, the Mine Police and the Peasant Self-Defense Army in Pingxiang and other places were organized into the second regiment, with Wang Xinya as the commander; A battalion of the former Wuhan Nationalist Government Guard Regiment and some workers' and peasants' armed forces in Liuyang were organized into the third regiment, and the regiment commander Su Xianjun participated in the uprising with almost 5,000 troops.

However, the three-way uprising troops were all frustrated, and Lu Deming and Commissar Mao gathered the remnants of various armies to join forces in Wenjia City, Liuyang, and on the way to the south after a short rest, they encountered an ambush by an enemy several times their size in Luxi, and there were only more than 1,000 troops left, and they suffered heavy losses again in the breakthrough.

In order to make up for the serious mistake caused by Yu Shandu, the commander-in-chief Lu Deming rushed to the front line in an attempt to bring back the officers and soldiers in the encirclement, but unfortunately he was hit by a stray bullet and died on the spot.

In the end, only more than 700 people were left to break through the siege, and finally under the patient persuasion of Commissar Mao, they unified their thinking and quickly moved south to successfully capture Lianhua County. Before they could catch their breath, they met three groups of local comrades from Yongxin who took the initiative to come to the door.

Naturally, officers at all levels did not dare to believe it easily, but instead detained the three groups of comrades in Yongxin and interrogated them severely.

It was not until noon that Committee member Mao, who received a report that something was wrong, quickly rushed to the county office and had a detailed conversation with Comrade Yongxin, who had been detained, that he learned the ins and outs of the matter.

After weighing it repeatedly, Committee member Mao resolutely decided to send personnel to follow Comrade Yongxin to contact the instructors, but the officers of the insurrectionary troops were very divided.

Lu Deming's attitude towards taking over as the supreme military commander after his death was extremely resolute, and he did not believe that Zheng Yi's unit, which was one of the insurrectionist troops in Nanchang, would appear in the south of Lianhua County, so he not only held an opposing view, but also once again put forward the opinion of "strictly following the instructions of the central authorities and going to Hunan Province to attack Changsha" on the grounds of avoiding danger.

came and went, and things were delayed.

The middle-level officers headed by Zhang Ziqing, commander of the first regiment and the third battalion, firmly stood on the side of Commissar Mao, and believed that it was very necessary to confirm the news of the arrival of Zheng Yi's instructor, otherwise, they were likely to miss the precious opportunity to get out of the predicament and develop and grow.

With the support of Committee member Mao, Zhang Ziqing volunteered to go south to investigate, with sufficient reasons and a resolute attitude: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have met Comrade Zheng Yi during the period when I was assisting Committee Mao in the work of the Guangzhou Agricultural Lecture Institute, and Comrade Zheng Yi has also seen me. ”

Yu Shandu was still hesitating after hearing this, and Su Xianjun and other regimental and battalion officers who followed him spoke out one after another, believing that they must immediately evacuate this place and quickly rush to Hunan Province, otherwise there is likely to be a danger of annihilation.

Without waiting for the two sides to come up with a result, the two company commanders who led their troops to serve as guards in the south of the city rushed to report:

"Six cavalrymen holding high the red party flag and the five-star flag of the sickle and hammer came to the city, and the leading officer said that they were the instructors of the Nanchang Uprising Army, formerly known as the Second Independent Division of the National Revolutionary Army, and the division commander was Zheng Yi, and asked Commissar Mao and Commander-in-Chief Lu Deming to go and meet!"

Everyone was stunned!

Commissar Mao was so excited that he called the seven detained Yongxin comrades and rushed to the south of the city together, Zhang Ziqing and others resolutely followed, and Yu Shandu quickly discussed countermeasures, and soon followed Commissar Mao to the south of the city.

A group of people followed the walking Commissar Mao to the city wall, and when they looked at it, they were immediately shocked:

In the cold wind of hunting, more than 200 cavalrymen held high more than 10 bright red party flags and military flags, neatly lined up 100 meters in front of the city wall, and behind the mighty cavalry queue, thousands of well-equipped officers and soldiers sang the majestic song of "unity is strength" in unison, holding high the party and military flags like a forest, and lined up in a steady stream.

Commissar Mao on the city wall was excited, and his eyes were red.

Zhang Ziqing and two officers who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy excitedly gazed at the familiar figure in front of the cavalry, and shouted "Instructor Zheng" and "Comrade Zheng Yi" with tears in their eyes.

In the majestic singing, Zheng Yi under the fluttering battle flag rode forward, slowly came to the bottom of the city wall, turned over and dismounted, stood upright, saluted solemnly, looked up at the familiar face on the head of the city, and roared loudly: "Zheng Yi, the instructor of the Nanchang Uprising Army, led his troops to report and ask Commissar Mao to review——"
