Zheng Yi did what he said, and the next day he sent Xu Maofu and Tian Antai and other five highly skilled brothers to Hankou to protect Zheng Heng, and by the way, he passed back what he saw and heard every day. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On the morning of the same day, the four major mainstream newspapers, including the "National Daily" and the "Chutian Daily," successively reported on Zheng Yi, the garrison regiment of the Wuhan military station, and Zheng Yi, the colonel's station supervisor and head of the garrison, and gave high praise to the members of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang who arrived in Wuhan in the early stage.

The detailed process of inspecting the army by the central officers and the strict military discipline of the garrison camp of the Wuhan military station are well known to countless people, and Zheng Yi's heroic image of a soldier and his group photos with the central officers continue to appear in the newspapers, making Zheng Yi, who has always been low-key, a model of a revolutionary soldier who has always been in the spotlight.

Zheng Yi kept a low profile as always, rushing to the Wuhan branch of the Huangpu Military Academy with seven chief and deputy battalion commanders every morning to serve as instructors, attending training and teaching seminars, exchanging experiences with district captain Chen Mingren and cadet corps commander Xu Xiangqian and other first-term students from time to time, and returning to the barracks in the afternoon to immerse themselves in training.

The new year is quietly coming in the cold winter.

The entire three towns of Wuhan were blazing hot like a furnace in the fiery revolutionary wave, and every day you could see crowds of people marching and demonstrating and chanting slogans, and you could see impassioned patriotic students giving speeches on high platforms one after another.

The British Concession in Hankow was surrounded by a sea of people, and the sound of slogans and roars was earth-shattering, and the ears were incessant, so that the invincible army of the empire on which the sun never set was cowered in the barbed wire and sandbag fortifications, and the British consul general, who had been constantly clamoring for war revenge, could only sit obediently at the negotiating table.

January 1, 1927.

The Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang Party in Wuhan, in the name of the Nationalist Government Committee and the Nationalist Government, designated Wuchang, Hankou, and Hanyang as Jingzhao Districts, and slogans such as supporting the policy of uniting Russia and the Communist Party, implementing the policy of peasants and workers, and overthrowing British imperialism were everywhere, and the huge contradictions within the Kuomintang gradually surfaced.

After three days of struggle, the British imperialists had to abandon the Hankow Concession, and all the civil servants and troops were evacuated from Hankow and moved to Shanghai.

Encouraged by the magnificent revolutionary situation, the teachers and students of the Wuhan branch of the Whampoa Military Academy threw themselves into the vigorous revolutionary movement, all teaching and the study and training of the enlisted students were temporarily suspended, and Zheng Yi and his seven instructors quietly returned to the military station camp in the southern suburbs.

Zheng Yi had a cold-eyed attitude towards what happened, but he vigorously supported the patriotic enthusiasm of the officers and men in the army, personally wrote speeches and reports for the political instructors of the garrison regiment, stimulated morale, established a patriotic spirit and a sense of adversity, and skillfully guided the political orientation of the officers and men, so that the work of Li Zhao and others was very effective.

When the officers and soldiers of the regiment were in high spirits and high spirits, Zheng Yi himself was extremely calm and did not have any excitement, and Li Zhao and Dong Zongzhuo, who were very puzzled by this, asked Zheng Yi privately what was going on? Zheng Yi only said one word, and let them calm down - I am waiting for the party's call!

On January 8, the Provisional Management Committee of the Hankow British Concession was established.

Chen Youren, Foreign Affairs Commissioner of the Nationalist Government, served as the chairman, and all the departments of the Revolutionary Army and the workers' pickets withdrew, and the armed police maintained order, and the Wuhan branch resumed normal teaching order.

On the same day, a special meeting of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was quietly held in the Hankou Japanese Concession, but Zheng Yi knew nothing about it, and went to the military academy every morning to serve as an instructor, and returned to the military station camp every afternoon to immerse himself in military training, and spent every day in a busy green environment.

On January 28, the Communist Party of China (CPC) issued a declaration on the current situation, opposing the European and American powers sending troops to China under the pretext of protecting overseas Chinese, calling for the consolidation of the united front of the revolutionary army and all oppressed people, the overthrow of all the political and economic domination of all imperialists in China, the elimination of the old reactionary forces in the country, the establishment of revolutionary popular power in the countryside and cities, the convening of the national assembly of the revolutionary people, and the unification of the whole of China.

Only then did Zheng Yi realize that the party's top leadership and core members were not far from him, and at the same time, he was also depressed about his lack of acceptance by the party.

As the days passed, the main units of the garrison regiment under Zheng Yi completed six months of arduous training, and in the five-day field assessment, all of them reached the set standards and formally became an army, and the 500 officers and men of the new supplementary battalion had acquired the temperament of revolutionary soldiers after three months of scientific training and political education.

During this period, Zheng Yi did not stop observing and thinking about the chaotic situation for a single day, and he clearly saw the deep contradictions of the Ning-Han split within the KMT, and saw that one after another National Revolutionary Army gradually threw away the pretense of revolution and quickly detached itself into a new warlord army in the political struggle of deceit, greed and selfishness.

At the same time, the Communist Party of China, which succeeded the Chinese revolution, not only did not enjoy the fruits of victory, but gradually found itself in the difficult situation of being constrained from the left and right and being suppressed.

Just when Zheng Yi was deeply hesitant and anxious about the looming major crisis, Li Zhao, the political commissar who had been worried for months, suddenly burst into his office and told him an important news with an excited face.

On the afternoon of 12 March, Zheng Yi's special car took Mr. Qiubai and Director Zhou, who were attending the Third Session of the Second Kuomintang National Committee, into the Wuhan Military Station Camp.

When they met, Zheng Yi pressed all his emotions in his heart, and like receiving the military and political dignitaries of the Kuomintang who came to inspect and express condolences, he accompanied Mr. Qiubai and Director Zhou, who had been reunited for a long time, to visit the training and living environment of the officers and soldiers of each battalion, and only when they returned to the regiment headquarters office did they shake hands tightly again and greet each other excitedly.

"Director, Mr. Qiubai, please have tea."

Zheng Yi delivered the best Junshan Maojian tea concocted by himself to the two gentlemen.

Mr. Qiubai took the hot tea with both hands, and looked at Zheng Yi, who was more mature and stable than two years ago, with a smile.

Director Zhou took the hot tea, put it on the table in front of him, carefully looked at the military map on the wall and the statistical tables with novel designs, looked at the entire space that was simple and bright without any superfluous decorations, and couldn't help but nod appreciatively: "Good job, you and your soldiers have now become models in the revolutionary army." ”

Zheng Yi hurriedly put down the cigarette in his hand: "Director, don't get me wrong, I, like Li Zhao and the soldiers of the whole regiment, are all foils, and the reason why the Kuomintang newspapers praise us is just to highlight the greatness, glory and correctness of the Kuomintang Central Committee members in Wuhan." ”

Mr. Qiubai and Director Zhou were amused to laugh, and Li Zhao, the only one qualified to participate in the secret meeting, also laughed.

The laughter stopped, and Director Zhou told Zheng Yi cordially: "I read the ideological report and analysis of the current situation that you submit every month, read and read, and every report moves me and thinks deeply, not only from the words to see your talent and wisdom, but also to see your deep feelings and loyalty to our party, I can't wait to see you one day earlier!" ”

"This time, I came with Mr. Qiubai to give you an official reply on behalf of the party organization: Comrade Zheng Yi, after seven months of testing and the review and approval of our party's special meeting, we unanimously approved the application for Zheng Yi and other 55 comrades to join the party, Comrade Zheng Yi, welcome to join the Communist Party of China!"

"Comrade Qiubai and I are willing to be your introducers to join the party."

A box of matches in Zheng Yi's hand was crushed in an instant, his whole body stiffened in an instant, his eyes were red, his throat squirmed a few times, he stood up slowly but couldn't say a word, and two lines of hot tears burst out of his eyes uncontrollably.

"Congratulations, Comrade Zheng Yi!"

Li Zhao walked quickly to Zheng Yi's side and gave him a warm hug.

"Thank you, thank you......"

Zheng Yi quickly wiped away his tears and greeted Director Zhou who came with a smile, he didn't seem to see Director Zhou's outstretched hands, he went up to give a hug, and then gave Mr. Qiubai, who came to his side to congratulate, a powerful hug: "Thank you!" ”

Mr. Qiubai laughed and helped Zheng Yi to the seat: "I can understand your mood at the moment, I was the same at the beginning, my ears roared excitedly, tears flowed, haha!" Sit down, sit down and talk slowly......"

"Since the Third Session of the Second Session of the Kuomintang will not end until the 18th, therefore, the oath-taking ceremony of joining the party is arranged on the 19th, and another important reason is that your identity is very special, and we think that keeping it secret for the time being and letting you continue to stay in your current post will be of greater help to our party, I hope you can understand the organizational arrangements."

Zheng Yi puffed up his chest without hesitation: "Zheng Yi obeys the organizational arrangement!" ”

Mr. Qiubai was very satisfied, and Director Zhou added with a smile: "There is a problem that you need to solve, our organization can only temporarily work in the Japanese concession in Hankou, and your status is special, and your direct leaders are only me and Comrade Qiubai......

"For the sake of secrecy, the oath-taking ceremony for joining the party must be carried out in secret, and Comrade Li Zhao will be responsible for the ceremony of joining the party of 54 comrades, including Cao Mancheng, Wang Huchen, and Li Lianshan, and it will be held in a separate place, and the time of joining the party will be counted from 19 March 1927."

Zheng Yi thought for a moment: "How about arranging it in the Zheng family compound in the Hankou British Concession that has just been recovered?" That's where I was born, and now only a few people live in it, and my brother Zheng Heng has gone to the Huhai Concession with the British after completing the work assigned by the British, and he will be able to come back next month, and there is no problem with security. ”

Director Zhou and Mr. Qiubai looked at each other and smiled: "Very good!" It wasn't far from where we were staying, a 10 minute walk away, which was very suitable. ”

Zheng Yi was very happy: "Director Zhou, there is something I have always wanted to tell you, I entrusted the brother-in-law in Huhai to buy a small villa on the road of the French Concession Mansion, the location and surrounding environment are better, the traffic is very convenient, and it is relatively safe, I want to give it to the organization, please accept it on behalf of the organization!" ”

"Then I know that the Comintern invests most of its energy and support in the Kuomintang, that our organization lacks funds, and that life is very difficult, and that I still have more than 14,000 pounds, which I will not need for a while, and that the military salary and subsidies of up to 600 oceans a month are enough for me."

"Therefore, I am willing to donate the 14,000 pounds deposited in HSBC to the organization as a fund for the event, which is considered my party fee in advance."

Director Zhou and Mr. Qiubai were quite surprised and very moved, they both stepped forward to shake hands with Zheng Yi tightly, continued to talk with each other for more than half an hour, and returned to Wuchang City by car under the escort of Li Zhao.

……

……

March 19, 9 p.m.

The main hall in the northwest courtyard of the Zheng family compound in Hankou was solemn, and the bright lights illuminated the bright red party flag hanging on the wall particularly brilliantly.

In the place where Zheng Yi was born and raised, under the guidance of Director Zhou and Mr. Qiubai, the twenty-one-year-old Zheng Yi once again gained a new life, he was excited, took a deep breath towards the party flag, and firmly raised his right hand and solemnly swore an oath:

Strictly keep secrets, obey discipline, sacrifice the individual, class struggle, strive for revolution, and never betray the party! Oath taker, Zheng Yi!
