Chapter 15: Yongxing (15)

"Dad, the government has already said that as long as our regimental training can kill the people of the Liberation Army, we will be rewarded. Are we going to listen to the government? Diao Hansan said eagerly to the middle-aged man in front of him.

The middle-aged man's name was Diao Degui, and at this time he subconsciously gritted his teeth, like a wolf considering whether to attack, pacing back and forth in the house. Seeing that his father had been thinking about it for too long, Diao Hansan, who was already anxious, asked.

Listening to his son's question, Diao Degui stopped and snorted, he scolded his son a little impatiently: "What are you anxious about? ”

Diao Hansan hurriedly replied: "Dad, those people from the Liberation Army will still come to sell goods today, they also said last time, they don't have much in their hands, and they are not going to sell goods to us again." If we hadn't sent someone to ask them, they wouldn't have agreed. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity, you won't have a chance next time. ”

Diao Degui frowned, and said very unhappily: "Did I say I won't do it?" ”

Diao Hansan hurriedly said, "Then what are you waiting for?" ”

Diao Degui shook his head, "This is not right. The Guangfu Army is only about 20 miles away from the county seat, and they go back and forth, doesn't the government know? Why did the government just let us go into battle as if they didn't see it? ”

Diao Hansan said: "Dad, this time the government invited us to fight together, just to let us help them find out the news." If we don't agree, and the government beats the people who come to sell goods to us, then the Liberation Army will have to settle the account on us in the end. Do you want to send a message to the Liberation Army? ”

These words really touched Diao Degui, and he walked back and forth a few times, and finally made up his mind. "Okay, let's go and contact the Liberation Army and ask them to send something to us. We sent someone to pick them up. If they don't come, it's their luck, if they do, they will come to their own door to die, no wonder we did it! ”

In Yongxing City, Lu Shangyang got the news that the Hunan army was going to take action against the Guangfu army. The officers of the Hunan military camp shouted at the group of junior officers, "Governor Mao has already sent a new gun." We're going to have to do a dozen with our hands. At this time, we were fighting a small squad of the Liberation Army, but it was not a big battle. Don't worry, everyone. After the fight, we will return to Yongxing City. Our Yongxing City is close to the river, as long as we stick to the mountain road, the Guangfu Army will not be able to defeat it. If they could fight, they wouldn't have fought earlier. No, there has been no movement for half a year. ”

Lu Shangyang didn't believe this at all. In terms of solidity, Chenzhou City is much stronger than Yongxing. In terms of danger, the checkpoint on the road from Chenzhou to Yongxing is also guarded by the mountain road, and the terrain of Yongxing is not even worse. The Guangfu army easily captured Chenzhou, and fought all the way to Yongxing City. The Guangfu Army has not moved for half a year, but it can be said that as Lu Shangyang's fellow countryman Zhou Jinguo said, the upper echelons of the Guangfu Army have no intention of attacking Yongxing now. Otherwise, such a ruined city would not be able to defend it no matter what.

But Lu Shangyang didn't dare to refute, the Hunan army was extremely "disciplined", who dared to refute the boss, the boss was unhappy and used the following crimes to kill. The Guangfu Army's attitude towards people and harmony does not exist at all in the Hunan Army.

On April 28, the Hunan army made preparations for a sortie. Early in the morning of April 29, the Hunan army secretly made preparations for battle, waiting for the news of the dispatch.

On the morning of April 29, a platoon of troops of the Liberation Army advanced towards Xiangyindu Town. In addition to this platoon, there were two female servicemen. When the troops went to the villages and towns, the female soldiers were in charge of sales, and at the same time, they also talked to the women who came to buy goods to collect local news.

Originally, the things of the army had basically been sold, and political commissar Zhou Jinguo thought that there was no need to sell goods at this time. However, the people of Xiangyindu Town came to the army and begged, hoping to sell something to the town again. At this time, the political commissar had already been ordered to go to the east, so as soon as the party committee meeting discussed, everyone felt that there was something left on hand, and it was useless to keep it if they didn't sell it. In particular, the representatives of the soldiers' council were very zealous in favor of selling out things.

If it is sold out, everyone will be able to get more points, and everyone knows and understands this idea. In the end, when the party committee discussed, it felt that the head of Xiangyindu Town was the Diao family, and the Diao family had long wanted to sell the goods of the Guangfu Army. This time, he simply sold all the remaining goods to the Diao family, completely emptied the inventory, and everyone no longer remembered this matter in their hearts. There wasn't much left, and a cart was finished. The troops decided to go and return quickly, and sent a platoon of troops to Xiangyindu Town.

Walking quite fast on the road, everyone was not marching, and they were talking to the comrades around them on the road.

"Sister Zheng, what do you think the industrial society that the governor is talking about? The commissar just said that in that society both men and women can live on their own, and both men and women can support their families on their own. He also said that if women want to be equal, they must first have their own financial rights. That is to say, the money that a woman earns by herself, whether it is her father, mother, brother or sister, man after marriage, or children born in the future, cannot be moved. Is this true? "On the march, the female soldiers talked about the topics that women were most concerned about. Among them, there is no one that arouses women's enthusiasm more than the new society.

In the Governor's Office and the Army, the political ministry, party committees, and political commissars all accepted Wei Ze's theory of the difference between rebellion and revolution, and were able to use this theory to explain what was happening now. The members of the Liberation Party have gradually begun to understand and accept this theory. The army also used all kinds of political propaganda and gradually began to understand the stage they found themselves in in this era. It is difficult to say whether the troops fully understand it, but at least no one in the troops objects to this theory.

In terms of reasoning, the political commissars have many years of experience in rebellion, and they can come up with a large number of things that have happened to reason with the facts, and even if the fighters have different views, they can never win in open discussions. After many discussions, the fighters turned their attention to the "good days" after the establishment of the new system, rather than arguing about revolutionary theories.

Zheng Yufeng didn't answer immediately. She actually didn't want to go to Xiangyindu, because if she went, she would have to deal with the Diao family, which was different from the awe that ordinary people had when they looked at female warriors, Diao Degui and Diao Han, father and son of the Diao family, looked at the female warriors with lustful greed, which was really disgusting. It's just that she, as an accountant in the logistics department, is involved in the accounting and has to go out. When the other female warriors heard that they were going to Xiangyindu, they all said they would not go. In the end, Zheng Yufeng and Wu Xiaohua were companions and set off with the team together.

When Wu Xiaohua spoke, Zheng Yufeng was thinking about how to settle the settlement with the Diao family as soon as possible, and what to say about not dealing with the Diao family in the future.

Seeing that Zheng Yufeng didn't say anything, Wu Xiaohua pulled Zheng Yufeng's sleeve and asked, "Sister Zheng, you speak." ”

Zheng Yufeng said with a smile: "Now that you have paid your military salary, isn't it just for you, and you don't have to give it to others?" ”

"But my parents wrote that the family was going to build a house and asked me to send money back." Wu Xiaohua said a little depressed.

"Didn't you send it once a few months ago? Did you send all your money home? Zheng Yufeng asked in surprise.

Wu Xiaohua lowered her head and said aggrievedly: "Last time, it was my eldest brother who built a house, and this time my second brother wants to build a house." ”

Zheng Yufeng frowned, and there was anger in her crisp voice, "Why do you want your brother to pay for building a house?" ”

Wu Xiaohua shook her head slightly, "But my parents must pay for me, they said that they knew that there was nothing to spend money in the army, and my money was saved." This money can save the family's emergency. ”

"Building a house is a kind of emergency!" Zheng Yufeng said angrily, "It's not that your brother has no food to eat, waiting for money to eat." When the old man builds a house, how do you think of asking your sister for money! Are your parents confused? ”

Zheng Yufeng clearly expressed her opposition to Wu Xiaohua giving the family money, Wu Xiaohua suddenly cried in a low voice, and she said while crying: "Sister Zheng, I don't want to go back to the village." My parents said that they had found me my in-laws, and that they would give me a lot of dowries. I know that family, and I don't like that family. I just want to stay in the army and be with everyone. But my parents said that when I joined the army, I said that I would retire in three years, and when I retired and went home, they would let me marry. I don't want to go! ”

Wu Xiaohua is a native of Zhaoqing, Guangdong, and is also a rare female soldier in the army. The proportion of female soldiers in the army is very low, so female soldiers are basically the treasures of each unit after joining the army.

But the treasure of the army is not equal to the baby of the family, Zheng Yufeng listened to Wu Xiaohua's explanation, and understood what kind of virtue Wu Xiaohua's parents were. There are three sons in the family, and they don't let their sons join the army, but let their daughters join the army. Her parents are planning the tax policy for the military family to meet. When her daughter was a soldier, the family often wrote to Wu Xiaohua asking her to send all the money home. Now it is for "a lot of bride price" to marry Wu Xiaohua to the family they arranged.

Zheng Yufeng said loudly: "Don't worry, as long as you tell your parents that you don't go home, the army will protect you." Wei Dudu said, "You can't force you to do things you don't want to do." After the military major, you will be given priority to work in the city, don't you want to be a nurse? When the time comes, I will tell the troops that I will arrange for you to go to nursing school for further training. Sister Gu Xingzhi is in charge of the nursing school, I will explain your situation to her, she will definitely be able to protect you. ”

"Really?" Wu Xiaohua looked up in surprise and said.

Zheng Yufeng said loudly: "Of course it's true, Sister Gu and I joined the governor's team in Wuzhou. She's very reliable. ”

"Comrade Wu Xiaohua, don't worry. The army will not let people bully our comrades, your parents dare to come to the army to make trouble, the political commissar and the regiment commander will definitely be able to control them. The male warriors next to him interjected.

Someone took the lead, and everyone said: "That's it, bullying people and bullying the troops, they are wrong." ”

"In the future, Comrade Xiaohua will become a nurse, and we will have someone to take care of our medical treatment." There were also people who gave other encouragement.

Listening to so many people supporting and cheering her up, Wu Xiaohua wiped away her tears, and couldn't help but smile on her face.

After walking for a while, Wu Xiaohua couldn't help but ask, "Sister Zheng, you know a lot of people, so powerful!" ”

Zheng Yufeng just smiled when she heard this, but didn't say much. If you only count from the time she has been in Weese's team, her qualifications can be said to be very old. When Wei Ze left Yong'an for Wuzhou, he dealt with the Tujia forces in Wujia Town, and at that time, many children from the six local Hakka villages defected to Wei Ze's army. Gu Xingzhi and Zheng Yufeng both joined Wei Ze's troops at that time.

It's just that at that time, the men and women were divided into camps, and Gu Xingzhi, Zheng Yufeng and others followed the women's battalion to join the women's battalion of the Taiping Army. It was separated from Wei Ze and others. From 1852 to 1855, this distinction was three years. At the time of the Tianjing Change, Wei Ze made a request before withdrawing from Tianjing City, and all those related to his subordinates must be taken away by Wei Ze. In January 18855, Gu Xingzhi and Zheng Yufeng both returned to Wei Ze's command. followed Wei Ze all the way from Jiangnan to Guangdong.

Gu Xing later chose to study medicine and became the vice president of the Guangdong Military Medical College, and also served as the training of female nurses at the affiliated nursing school. Zheng Yufeng first studied accounting, others were from the army, but because of the expansion of the army, she was transferred from the Ministry of Finance to the army to be responsible for logistics. At the same time, it helps the troops to train the latest accounting rules and regulations. After half a year's training, she will return to work in the Ministry of Finance.

Zheng Yufeng got married three years ago and had a son. She married a fellow villager who joined the Liberation Army, the younger brother of Nguyen Hi Ho, the current commander of the Second Army. Nguyen Chi Ho served in the Sixth Army and was a brigade commander in the Sixth Army. Needless to say, after Wu Xiaohua entered the nursing school, Colonel Gu Xing of the military hospital was able to easily protect Wu Xiaohua. If Zheng Yufeng himself initiates a relationship, it will be more than enough to deal with Wu Xiaohua's parents.

Thinking that Wu Xiaohua's parents wanted to exchange their daughter for a bride price, Zheng Yufeng said angrily: "Xiaohua, there are many single good comrades in the army. When the time comes, let the organization arrange it for you, and get married as long as you see it. You don't have to worry about your parents finding you the man's house. ”

Hearing Zheng Yufeng say this, some of the soldiers immediately coaxed, "Sister Zheng, can you arrange it for us in the organization?" Wu Xiaohua is such a good comrade, he can't cheapen comrades from other troops! ”

"Go, go, go! When is it your turn to interject! Zheng Yufeng scolded with a smile.

Wu Xiaohua's depression at this time had already flown out of the clouds, with this reliable Sister Zheng and so many amiable comrades, she felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.

From the army camp to the north, it is a three-way intersection, and the road to the northwest is the road leading to Xiangyindu Town. To the northeast is the road to Woody City. At this time, the group has passed the three-way intersection and can see Xiangyindu Town from a distance.

At this moment, a faint gunfire suddenly sounded in the northeast direction, and the sound was the sound of the rifles of the Liberation Army. Moreover, the gunfire was three shots in a row, which was used as a warning in the convention. The Liberation Army has been monitoring the movements of Yongxing City. This is the reconnaissance unit firing warning shots at the comrades around them.

"Hurry back!" The platoon commander immediately shouted. At this moment, behind the mountain not far away, the sound of shouting and killing suddenly sounded, but I saw a group of people emerging from the mountain.

Ambush! Zheng Yufeng immediately understood the current situation.
