When Xu Rui stood on the steps and spoke, two people were looking at him indifferently in the crowd below. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

One of these two people is called Wang Jiageng, a battalion commander of the 87th Division, and the other is called Lu Deming, a platoon commander under Wang Jiageng.

As a result, as soon as the front-line troops were defeated, the situation was completely chaotic, and all the wounded were abandoned.

Fortunately, Wang Jiageng's adjutant Lu Deming was also injured at that time, and he was also recuperating in the same hospital, and Lu Deming's injuries were relatively light, so he quickly found a stretcher to drag Wang Jiageng to Nanjing, but he didn't go far before he fainted to the ground, fortunately, a group of refugees passed by at this time and carried them back to the concession.

In the refugee camp in the public concession, Wang Jiageng can only clean his wounds with salt water every day, however, he survived in such harsh conditions, half a month later, Wang Jiageng's injuries healed, Lu Deming proposed to go back to find the troops, but Wang Jiageng resolutely refused, his heart was already cold, he didn't want to be a soldier anymore.

The most important thing is that Wang Jiageng has become a family, and his sister is studying in Shanghai.

Wang Jiageng stayed in Shanghai, at first it was a dung truck, then a rickshaw, and finally he found a relationship to enter Huishan Wharf as a stevedore, and he could earn a triangle every day, so he could still live, in such a troubled world, it was not easy for people to survive, and Wang Jiageng was also content.

"Bah, this dog traitor!" Lu Deming hated the way.

"Xiao Ming, beware of misfortune coming out of your mouth." Wang Jiageng hurriedly stopped it.

Lu Deming was silent, but his eyes still showed bitter hatred, unlike Wang Jiageng, Lu Deming's heart was not cold, his heart was still hot, if it weren't for Wang Jiageng, he would have gone back to the rear to find the old troops, if that was the case, maybe he would have died somewhere.

On the steps, Xu Rui's lecture continued.

Xu Rui said: "Although not talented, but just appointed by His Excellency Itagaki as the vice mayor of Shanghai, before today, I also have a deep understanding of the chaos in Shanghai, I found that theft is rampant on the beach, robbery is rampant, there is no prosperity and stability that an international metropolis should have, so I decided to carry out an industry rectification!" ”

"Industry rectification? How to rectify? ”

"What kind of bullshit industry rectification, it's not that you want to make money."

"That's it, it's not that no one has done it before, and it's all the way with Fu Xiao'an."

"It's miserable, we're just afraid that we're going to bleed again, I just was searched by the previous mayor Fu Xiao'an, and now I'm going to be robbed by this dog traitor, this day is really unbearable."

After Xu Rui finished speaking, there was an uproar immediately under the steps.

Lu Deming said even more hatefully: "Brother Wang, otherwise I will find a chance to be him?" ”

For his own skills, Lu Deming is still very confident, he was a famous gun king of the 87th Division back then! There are more than 9,000 people in the entire 87th Division, and only Wang Jiageng is better than him.

"Shut up!" Wang Jiageng's face changed slightly, and he lowered his voice and said, "You can be content." ”

After a pause, Wang Jiageng whispered again: "No matter how much we search, we can still have something to eat, you look at what the newspaper says, how many wives are separated and families are broken?" Be content. ”

Lu Deming said angrily: "But living like this, what is the difference between us and salted fish? ”

"And what else do you want?" Wang Jiageng said, "You don't want to be a salted fish, what do you want to be?" Shark? ”

"I don't want to be a shark, I just want to fight against Japan and fight devils!" Lu Deming said angrily, "Yingzuo, you just come with me, let's go to the troops, instead of living like this, it is better to die on the battlefield more happily, this kind of day, I don't want to spend a day, Yingzuo, come with me!" ”

Lu Deming was in a hurry, so he didn't call Brother Wang, he called the camp directly.

Fortunately, there was a lot of noise around, and no one listened to the two of them.

Wang Jiageng frowned and said, "If you want to go, I won't go anyway." ”

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Deming hurriedly said, "How hot-blooded were you before? I especially remember what you said to us recruits on the day I first walked into the barracks, you said, as a soldier, you should be proud of dying on the battlefield and the horse leather shroud, and you should be ashamed of being greedy for life and afraid of death, and look at you now...... How can it still be the way it was at the beginning? ”

Wang Jiageng's eyes suddenly swelled with a gleam, but soon, this gleam disappeared again.

With a sigh, Wang Jiageng shook his head and said: "Xiao Ming, I have been on the battlefield dozens of times for the country, I have been injured seven or eight times for the country, I don't owe the country anymore, next, I just want to live for myself, I also have relatives, I also have wives and children who need to be taken care of by me, I must think about them." ”

The gleam in Lu Deming's eyes darkened and he was silent.

Half an hour later, Liang Wuyi, who was on the stage, finally finished speaking, and was invited to the office for tea by the manager of the terminal company, and then a few spies came to register all the stevedores, and after the registration, a new number plate would be issued, which was said to facilitate centralized management, and once a stevedore committed a crime, it was easy to find.

However, this number plate is not given for free, and each person has to pay ten yuan.

Ten oceans, almost two months' hard-earned money for these stevedores!

When the stevedores heard this, they immediately quit and shouted that they didn't want new number plates, but how could the Broadway spies be good? For those who dared to take the lead in resisting, he raised the leather whip and whipped it, and Lu Deming in the crowd really couldn't stand it, so he immediately took off the leather whip and knocked the three spies in charge of registration to the ground.

When more agents came from the periphery of the square and pressed the guns of the black holes, the troublesome stevedores were arrested, and then they were loaded onto trucks and taken to Broadway.

Wang Jiageng did not participate in the brawl, so he was not arrested.

After such a fuss, the dock could no longer operate normally, and the dock manager immediately announced the dismissal.

Wang Jiageng returned home in despair, but all he thought about was Lu Deming's question to him before he was arrested: Do you really want to live like this all the time, like a salted fish?

Asking himself, Wang Jiageng felt extremely dazed.

Is it wrong to live like a salted fish? I want to stay and protect my wife and children, and protect my sister, is this also wrong? I have been wounded and shed blood for my country and my nation, and now I want to live for myself, is this also wrong? Wang Jiageng wanted to convince himself that he was right, but deep down, he felt deeper and deeper guilt and pain.

With an incomparably dazed look, Wang Jiageng walked into the house in despair, and then he heard his sister Wang Jiayi's silver bell-like laughter, as well as his wife's muttering of teasing the child.

Although Wang Jiageng became the battalion commander of the National Army, he had no savings, and after leaving the team, he could only make a living by selling coolies, so he could only rent a dilapidated house in the depths of the most claustrophobic alleys.

The furnishings in the room are very simple, a cloth curtain will be divided into two rooms before and after, the first half is used as a living room, kitchen, and the second half is the bedroom.

Wang Jiageng's wife, Yang Yuxi, was lying on her side on a wooden bed, holding her son who had just completed the moon in her arms.

Yang Yuxi saw Wang Jiageng who entered the door first, and asked in surprise: "Jiageng, why did you get off work so early?" ”

Wang Jiayi, who was washing rice, turned around when she heard the sound and saw that it was Wang Jiageng, and her face was full of surprise: "Brother, you are back." ”

"Well, there wasn't much work on the dock today, so the manager gave us half a day off." Wang Jiageng did not tell his wife and sister what happened on the dock, this kind of thing will only make his wife and sister worried, and it is okay for him to carry it alone, so why tell his family?

"Brother, then you're in for a treat." Wang Jiayi said with a smile, "I just stewed crucian carp soup for my sister-in-law, a big jar, my sister-in-law will definitely not be able to drink it alone, you can also drink some." ”

"I won't drink it, there are too many, you drink it yourself, you should make up for it." Wang Jiageng walked to the bed and sat down, teasing his infant son, the baby who had just been full of moon immediately grinned sweetly, looking at his son's smile, Wang Jiageng's bones were lighter, and he suddenly felt that it was worth it to suffer more.

Seeing her brother teasing her little nephew there, Wang Jiayi endured it, but in the end she couldn't hold back, and said, "Brother, guess what I did this morning, it's interesting." ”

Wang Jiageng smiled and said, "What else can you do besides going to school?" ”

"Look at what you're saying, I'm already an adult, okay?" Wang Jiayi pouted and said, "I marched on the street with my classmates this morning, and the patrol of the patrol room originally wanted to arrest us, but guess what? The patrol battalion sent a large group of officers and soldiers to sweep away all the patrol officers and men in the patrol room. ”

Wang Jiageng's brows immediately frowned, and he asked, "Have you marched on the streets?" ”

"Uh-huh." Wang Jiayi nodded and said, "As a student with a sense of justice, responsibility and mission, we must make our voices heard and give the most firm support to the righteous behavior of the patrol camp!" Together with the patrol camp, we will fight against the Western powers until we finally take back the governance of the concession! ”

"Nonsense!" Wang Jiageng's face immediately darkened, "As a student, your biggest task now is to study honestly and learn more knowledge!" You don't have to worry about what you're talking about. ”
