Nanjing, wharf.

Ding Ling hugged her daughter, who was less than two years old, and said to Zhou Hexuan: "Mr. Zhou, goodbye!" ”

"Take care of the ice!" Zhou Hexuan grinned, "By the way, I greeted the gentlemen in Yan'an on my behalf." ”

"I will." Ding Ling also smiled.

The operation to rescue Ding Ling was a matter of course, and Zhou Hexuan went to Lao Jiang that night to intercede for Ding Ling as an old friend. Chang Kaishen was very face-saving, and asked the adjutant to call Xu Enzeng on the spot, without making any requests for this.

After Ding Ling regained her freedom, she immediately broke up with Feng Da and prepared to return to her hometown in Hunan with her mother and children. After settling her family, she will go to Yan'an to participate in the revolution, and she is the first well-known writer to go to Yan'an.

Zhou Hexuan took out a bill, stuffed it into Ding Ling's hand and whispered: "This bill of exchange of 200,000 oceans can be cashed directly in the Northwest Bank, please be sure to help me transfer it to a friend in Yan'an." ”

"Mr. Zhou has a heart." Ding Ling admired.

"Farewell!"

"Farewell!"

Seeing Ding Ling board the river ship, Zhou Hexuan returned to the Yangtze Hotel with his bodyguards, and Zhang Xueliang was still waiting for him in the hotel.

Zhang Xueliang has been ordered to "suppress bandits" in the northwest for most of the past six months, and this time he is coming to Nanjing for a meeting, which is the upcoming Second Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the Kuomintang.

Compared with last year's depression, Zhang Xueliang is obviously much more cheerful at this time. When he was "suppressing bandits" in the northwest, he not only contacted the Yan'an side, but also verbally submitted an application to join the party.

That's right, Zhang Xueliang is ready to join the Communist Party, and asked Yan'an to send people to the Northeast Army to recruit party members and help the Northeast Army train middle and low-level military cadres. It's a pity that after the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang was put under house arrest by Lao Jiang, and the matter of joining the party was over, otherwise he would at least be able to get a founding general of New China.

The Comintern strongly opposed Zhang Xueliang's entry into the party, but their opposition had no effect, and the gentlemen in Yan'an were clear-headed.

"Mingcheng, do you want to go to the northwest with me? I had a great time over there. Zhang Xueliang was still in the mood to joke.

"I'll forget it," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile, "It's good if you're happy, I wish you all the best in your cooperation." ”

"What cooperation?" Zhang Xueliang especially didn't know.

Zhou Hexuan poured Zhang Xueliang a glass of red wine, poured the wine on the coffee table, dipped his fingers in the wine and wrote the word "deficit", and then wrote the word "Yang" and "Feng", and then circled the three words together.

Zhang Xueliang laughed: "Mingcheng is really as wise as a torch, and he can't hide anything from you." ”

Zhou Hexuan wiped off the handwriting on the coffee table and advised: "Don't trust Lao Jiang too much, beware of being bitten by him." ”

"How dare I trust him." Zhang Xueliang shook his head and sighed.

The thinking of the two is obviously not right, what Zhou Hexuan said is that after the Xi'an Incident, let Zhang Xueliang get out of the way as soon as possible, don't be under house arrest in turn. Zhang Xueliang didn't have the idea of catching Lao Jiang at this time, and he thought that what Zhou Hexuan said was reminding him not to be controlled by Lao Jiang in the Northeast Army.

Niu Tou didn't talk about the horse's mouth, Zhou Hexuan couldn't explain it, and it was impossible to say that he was an unpredictable prophet.

The young marshal is still the young marshal, he plans to join the party with the Northeast Army collectively, and he is still so fun-loving. In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Xueliang invited Zhou Hexuan to listen to the play together, and in the evening, he attended the dance party and had a hot fight with the beautiful girls in the dance hall.

The next morning, Zhou Hexuan finally set off with his wife and set off for his new home in Chongqing.

The sister-in-law Zhang Manyi wanted to accompany him, but was forced to stay in Nanjing by Zhang Mouzhi, ready to make friends with Kong Lingyi while the iron was hot, and hollowed out his mind to climb the relationship with the Kong family.

After several days of running on the river, everyone finally arrived at the Chaotianmen Wharf in Chongqing, which was more prosperous and lively than in previous years.

At this time, Liu Xiang had unified Sichuan, became a veritable "King of Sichuan", and was awarded the rank of army general by Nanjing, and his official residence was moved from Chongqing to Chengdu.

Regarding the last battle between Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui, it is extremely funny to say.

At that time, Lao Jiang asked Liu Xiang to go all out to "suppress bandits", Liu Xiang imitated "the outside must first be at home", and came to "suppress the red must first be Anchuan", and the civil war was very lively.

As for Liu Wenhui, after the defeat, he withdrew to Xikang, and telegraphed to the whole country that he would "consolidate national defense" and try his best to defend the western frontier for the country.

Liu Xiang's overall administration in Sichuan was of great significance to Sichuan and the whole of China, and Sichuan's transportation, industry, culture, and education developed rapidly in the past two or three years. In particular, transportation construction could not be carried out at all during the civil war in the past, and if Sichuan was not reunified, logistics and transportation during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression would be extremely difficult.

Just two months ago, the railway from Chengdu to Guiyang via Chongqing was finally opened to traffic, which is the first foreign traffic artery in Sichuan. When Guangdong is occupied by Japan, the railway will become the lifeblood of China's transportation, and a steady stream of foreign goods will be transported from here to Chongqing.

Not to mention Liu Xiang's wonderful performance in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, just talking about his internal affairs development in Sichuan is enough to be called a patriotic hero.

Zhou Hexuan's new home was built near Liziba, later known as the Yuzhong Anti-Japanese War Relics Park, and was designed and built by Zhang Mouzhi himself. The overall area is 5,000 square meters, with a built-in garden lawn, the beautiful Jialing River at the door, and a private small river boat as a means of travel.

Zhou Hexuan took the small river ferry to his home this time, built a simple wharf by the river, walked 150 meters along the winding stone steps, is the towering villa wall, and the words "Zhou Mansion" are engraved above the big iron gate.

The main building is a three-storey western-style building, the walls are painted gray and white, and there are a total of 19 rooms upstairs and downstairs.

Zhou Hexuan is very satisfied with everything, the fly in the ointment is that the garden villa was only completed at the end of last year, and the vegetation inside has not yet grown, and it looks bare at first glance.

The aunts and wives took their daughters to the river to greet them, and Cui Huifu commanded the porters to help run the luggage, attracting the fishermen on the river to drive boats to watch from afar.

A few fishermen who had been working all day, rowing boats and leaning on the shore, smoking leafy cigarettes and chatting energetically:

"Which big shot is this?"

"You don't know? I saw the word at the door, Zhou Mansion! ”

"Mei Laokan, you brag again, you haven't read any books, and you can recognize the words of shovel."

"I heard from the school's husband that this place is Zhou Hexuan's mansion, who won an award in the West, and is the most powerful cultural person in China."

"Zhou Hexuan who fights with Immortal Liu?"

"Isn't it him? You heard that no, Liu Shenxian fell out with Commander Liu, and now he is wanted by posting notices everywhere. Why did Immortal Liu fall out with Commander Liu? It's because Zhou Hexuan is coming to Chongqing, one mountain can't tolerate two tigers, and one Sichuan can't accommodate two immortals! ”

"That's amazing!"

"Hey, that's amazing. I heard that the chairman of the British committee had to ask Zhou Hexuan to cast a spell to ward off evil spirits when his son was sick. People go out by plane, fly from China to the United Kingdom, and wear a robe to open the whole thing. ”

"Fart, Zhou Hexuan is a fairy, he goes out to ride a white crane, and he still needs to take a plane?"

"Then why does he have to take a boat when he goes home?"

"There are too many things to bring with you when you move, and the white crane can't even carry them."

"Makes sense."
