Chapter 737: Bucking the Trend

The sun is setting, looking up to the sunset. A tram slowly drove to the station, and greeting, coming, the doors opened, and the passengers got off one after another.

Mixed with the passengers, Xiong Chengji also stepped off the tram, looked up at the sunset, and then put the cool hat in his hand back on his head, and didn't look back.

After walking a few steps, there was a "ding-dong" tram bell behind him, and when the tram crossed Xiong Chengji and turned onto the street, Xiong Chengji turned his head to look at it again, and the colorful commodity advertisements on the tram car made him a little dazzled for a while.

To be honest, Xiong Chengji never imagined that in just a few years, the country has changed so much, and the scenes that could only be seen on the Bund in Shanghai before are now everywhere, which of course has a lot to do with the diligence of the Chinese, but it must also be admitted. There is no such thing as Zhao Bei's creation. If the situation of the whole ** order and government decree is basically unified, this country will not be able to develop.

This is a fact, Xiong Chengji sees it very clearly, and it is precisely because of this that he is so contradictory now. On the one hand, Zhao Bei is indeed a qualified leader, and Xiong Chengji can rest assured that he governs the country, but on the other hand, Zhao Bei is too ambitious, such an ambitious leader has occupied the central power for a long time, and it is not a good thing for the country and the people, but Zhao Bei's ability is too strong, and now whether it is at home or abroad, Zhao Bei's prestige is in full swing, no one can reach it, and no one dares to reach it. At this point, Xiong Chengji is very worried.

On the one hand, it is reassuring, and on the other hand, it is not reassuring. Xiong Chengji's current mind is such a contradiction, and he never thought that such a contradictory personality would appear in a person, which makes people helpless and a little dazed.

The current Xiong Chengji is like a person sailing on the vast sea with a small boat, surrounded by the sea and sky, and there is no one who can guide him in the direction of progress, so the only thing left to do is to identify a direction. One way to the dark.

It should be said that Zhao Bei did guide Xiong Chengji in a direction, but in Xiong Chengji's view, the direction guided by the president is incorrect, at least in the long run, Xiong Chengji is unwilling to go, then, he can only find a path by himself, and this road is the path that Mr. Song Jiaoren tried to take.

Looking at the distant tram, Xiong Chengji sighed, crossed the track of the road, walked to the opposite side of the street, and then called a rickshaw waiting for passengers, and instructed the coachman to pull him to Dongcheng Ertiao Hutong.

The coachman is a Shandong man, he has been afraid of Beijing for many years, Beijing is very slippery, and he is also very talkative, after Xiong Chengji got in the car, the coachman pulled the car, turned his head, and shouted loudly with Xiong Chengji, who was sitting behind the car.

"Sir, look at your dress, you are a teacher?".

Xiong Chengji smiled faintly, neither denying nor admitting it, his mind was not on chatting now.

"Sir, there is an air show in Nancheng today, and many people have gone to see it, and there are more Xue'an and teachers, why didn't you go?. The driver apparently didn't realize that Xiong Chengji was not in the mood to chat.

"Oh? Why didn't you go yet? You're just afraid that you foreign coachmen won't be bad for this moment's business, right? Xiong Chengji asked casually.

"A lot of people in the foreign car shop also went to see the air show, but I didn't go, I still want to save a few more money, and when the money is enough, I will buy a tricycle to pedal, so that it will be easier to solicit customers, the driver said with a smile.

"If you have money to buy a tricycle, wouldn't it be better for you to go back to the countryside and buy some fields? If you can't buy ripe land, you can also buy some wasteland, and if you plant it for a few years, isn't it a ripe field? . Xiong Chengji asked.

"My daughter-in-law said the same thing, but I've done the math and it's better to stay in the city. First, it is easy to make money, and secondly, there is a lot of fun in the city, unlike in the countryside, which is lifeless at night. Now there are movies to watch every night in the capital, the rich go to the cinema, and the poor watch open-air movies. Watching the battle in that movie, it was said that the Orientals were powerful, and even the Russian big nose couldn't beat the Orientals, but now, hehe, the feelings are also silver-like wax guns.

Sir, you don't know, I'm from Shandong, Weihai, when the Qing Dynasty and the Oriental people teamed up, they started a fight in Weihai, at that time I still remember things, and fled everywhere with the adults, and when I heard the sound of the cannon, the adults shouted. The child is crying, and he can't even have a peaceful birthday, but now it's different, I heard people say that our Chinese soldiers fought well this time, and the Oriental people were scared, and they would be able to have a peaceful birthday in the future.

If you want me to say, our current president is the savior of our people, compared with him, those officials in the former Qing Dynasty and those officials in Beiyang are all straw bales, they will only make money, and they will not govern the country and level the world, let alone fight with foreigners. It's not the same now. We, the poor cart pullers, are also like human beings. In the past, foreigners always squinted at us when they rode in the car. But now, I also look at it with the right eyes, this is all the prestige that the president led our Chinese soldiers to fight, so ah, now our foreign car shop in the capital has set the rules, see the disabled soldiers, as long as they are in the city, they will not collect people's foot money, how to say, we are also Chinese, do you say this reason? Mr? If you want me to say, President Zhao Da had better always be a big president, if he is president, we people will have a good life, and if he is president, we people will be able to eat enough and wear warm clothes

The more the coachman spoke, the more energetic he became, but his pace did not slow down, and his words made Xiong Chengji a little yuan, yes

After all, the people are ignorant, and they are satisfied with eating and wearing warm clothes, perhaps this is what Zhao Bei has been emphasizing that "the people's wisdom has not been opened." This is also the best excuse for his intention to govern, and President Zhao Da also said that this is the necessary stage for an agricultural society to move towards an industrial society, and it is the best road for the country.

Xiong Chengji thought of this, and he was a little distracted for a while.

"Okay, just park here, I'll get off here." Xiong Chengji

The driver stopped the car, looked left and right, turned his head and said, "Sir." Aren't you going to Dongcheng Ertiao Hutong? It's not there yet. ”

"It's not too far away, so I'll just get out of the car and walk over."

Xiong Chengji got out of the car and gave the car money. Then walked forward along the street, he could only get out of the car, if he didn't get out of the car, he was worried that his emotions would be disturbed by the coachman's words, indeed, for the people, Zhao Bei is doing a really good job now, if Xiong Chengji is just a coachman pulling a car, or just an artist on the flyover, he may be satisfied with being a shunmin.

But he is not a coachman after all, nor is he an entertainer. He was a revolutionary who made it his mission. Taking it as his mission to open up the wisdom of the people, President Zhao's actions may be able to deceive ordinary people, but they can't deceive him Xiong Chengji.

Zhao Bei now wants to engage in politics, dictatorship, and dictatorship. This is a reaction against the revolution, Xiong Chengji and his comrades will naturally not agree, they must rise up and resist, even if this road of resistance is full of thorns, they will move forward bravely.

When Xiong Chengji walked to the two alleys of Dongcheng, two fighter planes suddenly flew in the sky. From south to north, the national flag and military flag painted under the wings are clearly visible, and even the squadron logo on the side of the fuselage can be distinguished. This is the plane of the army aviation unit stationed at Nanyuan Airport, and it was this unit that held an air show in Nancheng this afternoon.

Xiong Chengji stood still, raised his head and looked over, and had to admire Zhao Bei's means of winning the hearts of the people and improving morale, these days, you can see those young people who have made a special trip to Beijing, many of them are students, during the day. They visited the barracks under the leadership of the Political Propaganda Commissar. And in the evening they went out into the open field outside the city. Organize the screening of open-air movies and watch the documentary of the Liaodong battlefield, these days, the whole is full of patriotic feelings, which can be heard from the words of the rickshaw driver just now, this kind of emotion was provoked by Zhao Bei, but the purpose is not simple.

"It's a tough opponent to deal with."

Xiong Chengji sighed, put down his thoughts, walked into the two alleys of Dongcheng, stopped outside a courtyard in the middle, looked left and right at Pian Xuan, and walked up and knocked on the door.

The one who opened the door was a middle-aged man, who saw Xiong Chengji, and without saying a word, let him into the courtyard. Then quickly closed the courtyard door.

"Everyone's here?" Xiong Chengji asked the man.

The man didn't speak, just nodded. Then he led Xiong Chengji into the east wing, and the room was already full of people, most of whom were young people, about the same age as those who wandered around the city and shouted the slogan "Long live the president."

Seeing Xiong Chengji coming, everyone surrounded him in the middle. No one spoke, just looked at Xiong Chengji's face and waited for him to speak. "You are all poisonous, and time is running out. Now that the war in Liaodong is going well, it will not be long before the victory or defeat will be seen, and once the Sino-Japanese peace talks cease fighting. After the overall situation is decided, we can do it Xiong Chengji said.

"Xiong Dudu, why don't we do it now? Do you have to wait for Zhao Bei to announce the government before taking action? If Japan is defeated, Zhao Bei's prestige will be even higher, and at that time, we will be more passive A young man asked.

"We can't do it now, the Sino-Japanese war is going on at a critical time, if we do it now, we don't need Zhao Bei to make a move, and the people of the whole country will drown us with spit." Another young man gave an answer for Xiong Chengji.

Xiong Chengji was silent, this is certainly one of the reasons, but it is not the only reason, in fact, Huang Xing specially sent someone to greet him before leaving Beijing, telling him that if he dared to act against Zhao before the end of the Sino-Japanese War, Huang Xing would be the first to stand up and support Zhao Bei.

Now Huang Xing has not returned to Beijing, and Xiong Chengji doesn't know if he has changed his mind, but whether Huang Xing has changed his mind or not, Xiong Chengji will stick to his action plan, and he will use practical actions to wake up the people, even if it costs his life.

"Where do we do it?.

Perhaps seeing that the atmosphere was a little strange, a young man changed the topic.

Xiong Chengji said: "Just start in Anhui, back then" Xushen Revolution. Right now in Anhui, we are launching a new uprising in the holy land of the revolution. ”

"Anhui? Wu Zhenhan, Zhao Bei's first confidant, supervised the army in Anhui back then, and our foundation was very shallow there. Someone said.

"In Anhui, we have internal response, and that person has also hoarded a large amount of weapons and ammunition, with his assistance, we can move against the trend, not to seek the success of a revolution, but to awaken the numb people, and to awaken the revolutionary enthusiasm of more revolutionaries that has not yet cooled

Xiong Chengji is about to stop, and there are many people. If the news leaks, it will be very detrimental to the uprising plan, so far, there are only a few people who know about the Anhui Neiying, and Xiong Chengji does not want more people to know the background of that person.

"Is this internal response reliable?" Someone asked.

Xiong Chengji was about to answer, but before he could speak, he suddenly heard a whistle outside the house.

This is no ordinary whistle, this is a siren.

Hearing the siren, everyone in the room was stunned, and two young men took out their pistols from under the table, but before they could load their bullets, they heard someone standing in the courtyard shouting.

"Listen, the people in the room! This place has been surrounded on all sides, and you can't run anymore, so you can come out obediently and be tied up, so as not to suffer! ”

Xiong Chengji winked, and the young men quickly hid the pistol back under the table.

The middle-aged man who was on guard outside did not give any signal, which showed that the other party was moving quickly, and it was not a wise choice to confront him head-on.

Although the revolutionary enthusiasm of the people was high, they had not yet been carried away, and the balance of power was still clear to them.
