Chapter 52: Ninety-One-Eight
In the past two years, nothing major has happened on the rivers and lakes, Zhao Yunwu has worked hard to run his gang, and there are already more than 100 people with guns.
Since that time when he crossed the sea and Zhao Yunwu almost caught fire in Zhaojiagou, there has been no fierce conflict between the two sides.
Li Yuting is married, and he doesn't mix it up much. Zhang Cuihua gave birth to a daughter.
Huo Lianfeng is missing, no one is alive, no body is dead.
Minghuai no longer sells big cigarettes, and no one knows what he's doing.
Wu Zhanshan has always been inconspicuous, he has a serious errand, and all the taxes of the coal kilns in the Zhaojiagou area are under his control.
Zhao Yunwu and Wu Zhanshan are relatives, so they have been moving around a lot in the past two years, and sometimes Zhao Yunwu goes to the Wu family compound to find Wu Zhanshan. Sometimes we bump into each other during the New Year's holidays, and we drink together.
Grandma, Erlong, Ya'er, and Xiu'er live a peaceful life. Erlong and Xiu'er have been married for more than two years and have no children.
The old tyrant, flying on the grass, has been farming.
The year 1931 was an eventful year, and a major event occurred in Northeast China that shocked China and the rest of the world -- the September 18 Incident.
In Zhaojiagou in September, the hot summer has just passed, the autumn wind blows the earth golden, and the croppers are preparing for the autumn harvest.
On the black soil, patches of sorghum are red, and the ears of grain are like wolf tails. The bud cob bloomed with a smiling face, and the bud rice spike resembled a red beard. The soybeans are full of grains, and the millet is bent over, swaying with the wind, like layers of waves. As far as the eye can see, green, red, yellow, a scene of abundant harvest.
People with swords and sickles are sweating in the fields.
The golden autumn, the land, and the harvest were originally a beautiful picture, but there was no joy on people's faces, but worry.
There has always been a beard in the mountain, robbing it today, grabbing it tomorrow, and living a worrying life.
Now, the Japanese have launched another incident!
In Tunzi, the first person to hear that the Japanese had launched an incident was Li Yuting.
A few days ago, my brother wrote a letter to Li Yuting.
The letter told Li Yuting that the Japanese began to invade China, and the Northeast Army pursued a policy of non-resistance, and abandoned the city without firing a single shot.
There were many generals of the Northeast Army who were unwilling to retreat and engaged in fierce battles with the Japanese army, and the rest retreated without a fight.
The elder brother told Li Yuting that the Japanese invasion and occupation of the three eastern provinces was the general trend, and the elder brother was now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it was difficult to protect himself.
These days, my brother has been running away exhausted, fleeing from the northern camp in Fengtian to Dongshanzuizi, and later withdrawing from Fengtian and fleeing to Jinzhou.
There is a lot of artillery fire outside Jinzhou, and I am afraid that it is not a long-term place of refuge, and in a few days, we will withdraw to Guanli with the army.
The elder brother said, "Brother, cherish it!" As soon as I entered the customs, life and death were at a loss.
After reading the letter, Li Yuting cried, in the past few years, he has been relying on his brother to give him mail, so that he can live so nourishingly. Since then, this financial route has been cut off.
My brother went to Mukden at the age of 20 and worked as a civilian official in the Northeast Army, when Li Yuting was 16 years old.
So many years! Li Yuting's relationship with his brother has faded, but he has always lived on his brother's relief.
With his brother, he lived like a person, smoking cigars, listening to pop music, and his brother gave him a lot of foreign products.
Even Zhang Cuihua borrowed light, rubbing alabaster on her face and spraying perfume on her body.
When my brother leaves, I will have a sad life in the future. Li Yuting can't farm, he can't even distinguish between sorghum and millet, and the few acres of land at home have been barren for I don't know how many years?
"What can I do?" It is easy for people to go from poor days to rich days, but it is difficult to go from rich days to poor days!
"Don't worry! I will farm, and I will raise you in the future! No matter what Li Yuting becomes, Zhang Cuihua's love for him will not be reduced by a point.
"Alas......" Li Yuting let out a long sigh.
Li Yuting was depressed and went to Zhao Yunwu for a drink.
"Yunwu, this may be the last time I invite you to drink?" Li Yuting said slowly.
"What's wrong?"
"My brother has fallen, and I, Li Yuting, will be a poor bastard in the future."
"What's wrong with your brother?"
"The Japanese launched an incident, my brother entered the customs with the army, and it won't be long before the three eastern provinces are the world of the Japanese!"
"I used to see Japanese people when I was in Mukden, small people, who looked similar to us Chinese. Zhou Jianguang said, Yunwu, do you know? The Japanese are our worst enemies in the future! Jianguang is really a master this week, and he really said it. ”
"Looking at this situation, I am afraid that China will change the dynasty again!"
"We are such a big China, can we still make the Japanese sit on the country?"
"Maybe!"
"Then I'll be the first to do it! What the are Japanese people? ”
"Big brother, do you want to rebel?"
"Anyway, it's not okay for the Japanese to come to our China and be overbearing!"
"Even the Northeast Army can't defeat the Japanese, what can we grass people do?"
"I'm just desperate, and I'm going to do it with the Japanese! Don't forget, I have more than 100 guns! ”
“……”
"Can the Japanese really hit us?"
"It's already the trend of the times!"
"Yuting, I heard that Japan is a small country, why are they so powerful?"
"I heard my brother say that Japan is richer and stronger than China, and that people are at least 50 years ahead of us in terms of food, clothing, and use. The Japanese army has good guns, good guns, good artillery, and I heard that there are airships (airplanes)! ”
"What is an airship?"
"I heard that it is made of steel and can fly in the sky!"
"Then it can't fall?"
"Hehe, I can't fall off!"
The first time Zhao Yunwu heard about airplanes, he thought it was incredible.
()
The two were chatting lively, and Wu Zhanshan shouted from outside: "Yunwu! Yunwu! "Hurried in.
Zhao Yunwu hurriedly moved a chair and said, "Brother Wu, sit down!" ”
Wu Zhanshan sat down, perhaps thirsty, and drank a glass of wine, so spicy that he frowned.
When Erlong saw his brother-in-law coming, he also entered the house, sat on the kang, and listened to them.
"Brother! Why are you here? Xiu'er also entered the house. After a while, Ya'er and Grandma also came from the East House.
Wu Zhanshan said straight to the point: "Have you heard? The Japanese launched the Mukden Incident! ”
Li Yuting said: "I found out a few days ago. No, we're talking! ”
"Damn, little Japanese is so rampant! The year before last, explosives were planted in Huanggutun and Zhang Dashuai was blown up on the train. Now they have attacked Mukden. I also wondered, why didn't the young marshal take this opportunity to avenge his father? Wu Zhanshan said.
"It seems that the young marshal doesn't have the two sons of his father, if Zhang Dashuai is alive, he will definitely not be able to give Fengtian to the Japanese." Li Yuting said.
"This is called a weasel laying bean chicks, one generation is not as good as the next!" The old tyrant walked in from the outside like a bell.
It turned out that the old tyrant heard that the Japanese had started an incident, and he couldn't sit still at home, so he also rushed over.
A room full of people laughed when they heard the old tyrant's witticism.
"Uncle Tuhao is really energetic!" Zhao Yunwu said with a smile.
"I'm telling the truth! Lao Tzu asked people to blow it up, and the territory was also robbed by others, and he didn't even dare to let out a fart, how much of a scumbag should this official be? The old tyrant said.
"Well, the hatred of the country and the hatred of the family! The young marshal may have a hard time. Uncle Tuhao, don't forget, the young marshal is now under the control of the National Government, and it doesn't matter if he beats him or not. Zhao Yunwu said.
"Then who has the final say?"
"Old Jiangbei!" Li Yuting said.
"Yunwu, how far is Japan from China?" Ya'er interjected.
"I don't know how far away it is, but I know that Japan is a small island, and the place is not big, so why not call it Little Japan?"
"The Japanese are gibbons, and they have such long hands, what a big villain!" Xiu'er said.
Everyone is happy again.
Everyone teased and teased, and the room was filled with happy air.
Zhao Yunwu was preoccupied, he was thinking, no matter how happy he said, it was useless, the reality was that the Japanese were about to occupy the three eastern provinces. What if the Japanese do go into the mountains one day? He has more than 100 guns, and it is his responsibility to defend his family and country. Otherwise, is that still called Chinese?
It didn't take long for the people in Tunli to know the news of the incident. But these are all things outside the mountains, and the 918 incident doesn't seem to have brought much change to the mountains. Mountains are still mountains, water is still water, everything is still the same.
Only a few old people with rich life experience know that soon, after calm, there will be a storm!
Early one morning after the autumn harvest, the weather was fine, and a few strangers appeared on a mountain road leading to Liyugou.
These men were all dressed as merchants, wearing otter skins, dog skins, and sheepskin hats.
The mountain people don't usually wear such hats, and these people seem to have come from the north.
The men just walked, and no one spoke.
On the side of the road, I met a child herding cattle, and the young man in a dogskin hat walked over and asked for directions.
"Kid, come here!" The man spoke in a very stiff tone.
The children herding the cattle stood still and looked curiously at the strangers.
"What is this village called?"
"It's called Carp Gully."
"Good! Very good! The young man snorted.
After a short time, the group walked to the entrance of the village. The sentries on the battery immediately shouted at them: "What are you doing? ”
"We are a merchant from the north, and we have something important to do with you!" The young man replied.
The sentry immediately informed Guo Hai: "Second master, there are a few merchants outside, saying that they are looking for you to talk about things!" ”
"What to talk about? I don't know them! Cross the sea said.
"Second master, they seem to be quite rich."
Cross the sea thought for a while and said, "Send a few more people to escort them in for me!" ”
The sentinels went out, and after a while, five or six bandits escorted the merchants into the house.
He looked at these people and asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”
Several of the merchants sat down triumphantly, lifted their leather robes, and their guns were revealed.
Cross Hai's eyes stood and he shouted, "What the hell are you doing?" ”
The young man replied in stiff Chinese: "We are the Kanto region of the Great Japanese Empire." Soldiers, come to visit you and talk to you about important things! ”
Cross the sea gasped and thought: What are the Japanese looking for me?
He didn't dare to snub these Japanese across the sea, and ordered his subordinates: "Show tea to the guests!" ”
After a while, the tea was served, and several Japanese people seemed to be thirsty and drank from their teacups.
The young man got up and asked, "May I ask you, have you crossed the river or the sea?" ”
Guo Hai smiled: "I am Guo Hai!" ”
"Where did your brother cross the river?"
"My brother is out! What do you have to talk to me about, the same. ”
"Okay. This is our chief Yamada Daisa! My name is Jiro Watanabe and I'm his translator. ”
The middle-aged man with glasses and a mustache stood up and shook hands with Guo Hai.
"Hello, Mr. Yamada!" Guo Hai smiled.
"Hello!" Yamada said.
Yamada looked at the sea and nodded, and said a few words in Japanese, and Jiro Watanabe immediately translated: "Yamada Osa said, we are in Japan." The Eastern Army has already occupied Mukden, Changchun, and Harbin in the near future. Now the three northeastern provinces are the territory of our Japanese. Does Mr. Guohai have any plans in the future? ”
Guo Hai smiled: "What does Mr. Yamada mean?" ”
Yamada spoke a few more words of Japanese, and Watanabe said, "In a few months, we Japanese will be entering the mountains." I heard that there are a lot of armed forces in this area, and in order to allow our Imperial Japanese Army to enter the mountains smoothly, we need someone, a person who can maintain local law and order, and Yamada Osa was the first to think of Mr. Kuzumi. I hope that Mr. Guohai can take refuge in our Great Nippon Pass. Eastern Army, help us maintain law and order in the mountains. ”
Guo Hai thought to himself: "Good thing! I'm going to be an official, huh? ”
Watanabe asked, "Do you want Mr. Kuwakai to join us in the Great Japan Kanto?" Army? ”
Guo Hai smiled: "I didn't say it, I followed you Japanese." ”
Watanabe translates to Yamada, who laughs, pats Kuami's shoulder and says, "You are a big hero!" ”
Yamada also said: "We, the Great Japanese Empire, want to establish a royal paradise in the three eastern provinces, and as long as we are willing to do things for us Japanese, the future will be great!" ”
Guo Hai thought: The Japanese still have vision, and if I follow the Japanese in the future, I will have the most awesome backer. By that time, more than a dozen tunzi in this area will be the territory where I crossed the sea.
Cross the sea to kill chickens and sheep, and invite these Japanese to dinner. While eating, Yamada talks to Wakai about the current situation. He learned that the Chinese army was now in a good position, and the three northeastern provinces were under the control of the Japanese. Guo Hai thought to himself: In the past, the horse team always wanted to fucking kill me, but the Japanese promoted me like this, and I followed the Japanese with all my heart!
Yamada praised Guo Hai vigorously: "You are a big hero!" ”
After the Japanese left, he crossed the sea every day and looked forward to the Japanese entering the mountain as soon as possible, so he showed his strength and used the strength of the Japanese to wipe out all the men and horses of Shuangsheng, Guo Laojiu, and Zhao Jialong.
The heart of crossing the sea is more inflated, and the work is more arrogant.
