"Xianggong!"

"Oops, Heng Shuai!"

Zhao Xi, who was concentrating on painting, was stunned for a moment when he saw Wang Hengyue, and then quickly threw away the pen in his hand and hurried to greet him: "Hengshuai, oh, no, President, why did you come to me?" You said that you went back to Rong County, why didn't you say hello in advance so that we could prepare? ”

"Xianggong, it's still comfortable for Heng Shuai to listen to."

Wang Hengyue walked in with a smile: "Others call me President, can you also call me that?" If it weren't for Xianggong back then, where would I be Wang Hengyue today? I came to Rong County this time to do some things, I don't want to alarm the place, but no one can see me, you Xianggong, I have to come to visit! ”

Zhao Xile laughed, and he was very proud in his heart.

The most bragging "investment" in his life is the big president in front of him!

Who would have thought that the small team officer in Rong County would become the president of the Republic of China a few years later?

Zhao Xi is a person who attaches great importance to the concept of the countryside, and he has always regarded Wang Hengyue as "his own person" in his heart, and now this "own person" has become the president, isn't it equivalent to the people of Rongxian County managing the country?

"Hengshuai, please sit, please sit." Zhao Xi was busy beckoning Wang Hengyue and his entourage to sit down, and let people serve tea: "Hengshuai, this country has not been unified for a long time, I heard that you are going to visit the United States again, I think you are busy with things, and you will not be able to return to Sichuan for a while, so I am ready to wait for you to come back from the United States, and then go to Nanjing to visit the president in person." ”

"How can you let Xianggong come to visit me? It should be me who came to visit Xianggong. Wang Hengyue said with a smile.

Zhao Xida sighed: "It's like a dream, it's really like a dream." I remember that Heng Shuai only arrived in Rong County, with only a few subordinates, the soldiers were just a group of opium ghosts, and even the bandits couldn't be defeated, but who would have thought that in a blink of an eye, with millions of troops, the momentum was magnificent, the country was unified, and even sent troops to Russia! Great long ambition, great long ambition, good, good! This is my blessing in China, but also my blessing in Sichuan, the blessing of Rong County! ”

"I started from Rong County, relying on the support of Rong County's fathers." Wang Hengyue sighed with emotion: "At that time, I was only thinking about how to deal with the attack of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and keep Rong County, and I didn't think about what would happen in the future, let alone today." ”

Rong County is independent, the first righteousness of the world, Chen Lifu has only heard of these stories, and now when he heard these parties say it from his mouth, he immediately became interested, and asked some questions in passing.

Zhao Xi seemed more interested: "Brother Tai, you don't know that, the situation was extremely critical at that time." Zhao Erfeng knew what Heng Shuai did, divided his troops into several ways to encircle and suppress, Rong County was in danger on the first day, Heng Shuai resolutely raised the flag of rebellion, and I still clearly remember what he said.

Zhao Xi fell into memories, but his memory was very good:

"On that day, Heng Shuai gathered all the new troops and told each of them that the Qing army had come to the city, and we were ready to send it! If we succeed, we are the first fathers; Failed, heads fell to the ground! Tomorrow is July 11 of the Gregorian calendar, and that day will be Independence Day! Rong County independence, **Shouyi, long live independence! , The morale of those new troops has been mobilized, and everyone is shouting for the independence of Rong County, **Shouyi, long live independence! ，。 That scene made people very excited to watch, and I couldn't wait to be involved in it."

Chen Lifu listened with relish, and Huang Zixuan, who was personally involved, also said there:

"Really, the emotions of the brothers were all mobilized that day, everyone forgot to be afraid, forgot that the Qing soldiers were outside the city, anyway, I felt that following Heng Shuai would definitely be able to succeed!"

Zhao Xi was silent: "Rong County is independent, and the people's army is also very strong."

"Yes, their deeds should not be forgotten." Wang Hengyue nodded, and also fell into the memory.

The first battle of Rongxian independence was fought by the people's army.

Wang Hengyue still remembers the tragic battle very clearly:

In the face of the frenzied attack of the Qing army, these people's troops, which were almost all composed of members of the Hui Party and porters, still showed their bravery.

They did not have any military training, and many of them even learned to shoot for the first time, went to war for the first time, and faced death for the first time!

But these people are holding their positions to the death, using their few weapons and bullets, desperately blocking the enemy's attack! …,

A man of men, perhaps not yet twenty, lay in a pool of blood, his whole body convulsed, one arm and one leg broken, but he still kept muttering:

"Fight, fight, long live independence, long live Shouyi ̈ one"

Then, gradually, he stopped convulsing, and his eyes widened at the sky, but he had lost his life.

"Long live independence, long live Shouyi!" It is precisely under this encouragement that these irregular military fighters are defending the glory of Shouyi with fearless courage!

The Qing army's attack was seriously hindered, and they rushed forward again and again, but they were defeated again and again. They clearly saw those "chaotic parties" falling under the rain of bullets in pieces, but the "chaotic parties" had no intention of retreating at all.

The people's army made up for their lack of training with courage and made up for the gap between them and the enemy with the spirit of sacrifice

"Without them, we probably wouldn't have been able to win." Wang Hengyue's face was solemn: "So before returning to Sichuan this time, I have ordered the construction of a Rongxian Independence Monument to commemorate those who died in the independence movement." ”

"Okay, yes, that's a good idea!" Zhao Xi praised repeatedly: "Being in a high position without forgetting your roots, this is exactly what a leader should do, and I, Zhao Xi, am willing to do my best to help." ”

"Xianggong, I don't need your help here." Wang Hengyue regained his smile: "This time I came to Rong County, in addition to these things, there is another very important thing to do, I want to ask Xianggong to go to Nanjing to serve as the chairman of the Chinese Traditional Culture Restoration Committee." ”

Zhao Xi was stunned: "The Chinese Traditional Culture Recovery Committee? ”

"Yes." Wang Hengyue said "yes": "China's traditional culture must be restored. Xianggong, in my opinion, the most splendid and glorious period of Chinese traditional culture was the Spring and Autumn Period of the Warring States Period, when soldiers met and annexed each other. In turn, this rich cultural trend of thought has endowed the Chinese nation with rich imagination and creativity. War is to be cursed, but war and suffering temper the will and heart of the entire Chinese nation, improve wisdom and enrich cultural thought. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went to a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism. In the period after him, the fine endowment and excellent culture of the Chinese nation complemented each other, showing the rich imagination, creativity, compatibility and brilliant achievements of the Chinese nation."

Zhao Xi listened carefully and nodded slightly. Wang Hengyue continued:

"Western culture came to China with their guns, and now I see many places where they are trumpeting how good Western culture is and how backward Chinese traditional culture is, but in my opinion, this is by no means the case. Our traditional culture is broad and profound, and some people who have not figured out what the real traditional culture is, are there to criticize how backward and vulnerable our culture is, and even in their eyes, these cultures should be swept into the garbage heap of history. I see"

Wang Hengyue sneered a few times: "They are the ones who really deserve to be swept into the garbage heap!" Therefore, I want to take out the true essence of traditional Chinese culture and use it to confront and integrate with Western culture, and restore the vitality of traditional Chinese culture. However, the rejuvenation and rise of the Chinese nation's culture is much more difficult than the rise of a backward and simple nation. ”

Zhao Xi nodded slightly, Wang Hengyue immediately laughed self-deprecatingly, and said:

"For example, I spent a whole day writing a banner for Zhang Zuolin last time, but what I wrote was still nondescript."

"Heng Shuai grew up in the United States, and it is normal that he can't use a brush." Zhao Xi defended him

"No, that's not the case." Wang Hengyue shook his head lightly: "Because I think it is convenient to use a pen, I have not seriously learned calligraphy since I was a child, but it can really be called calligraphy, and only the words written with a brush, nothing else!" Japan attaches more importance to this, and I feel very ashamed to be the president of this country. There are also traditional Chinese medicine and so on, all of which must be restored and strengthened again! ”

"So Heng Shuai is going to set up this traditional Chinese culture restoration committee,?"

"Yes, it has to be established, there is no room for negotiation." Wang Hengyue's answer was categorical: "If it doesn't take another few decades, our traditional Chinese culture will be lost, and our children will know nothing about it, then we will be sinners!" So this time, I specially came to ask Xianggong to help me. ”

Zhao Xi stood up: "Since Heng Shuai has this ambition, I, Zhao Xiyan, dare to shirk it?" I'm going to pack up and go to Nanjing to take up my post. Hehe, I, Zhao Xi, haven't been an official for a long time, and I don't bother to be an official, but I not only want to be an official, but I also want to be an official! ”

"Xianggong, thank you for your help!" Wang Hengyue said seriously: "This is not something that can be done overnight, but I will give you what you need, how much money you want, how much manpower you want to just ask!" ”

Zhao Xi smiled slightly.

The traditional Chinese culture must not be sunk, but to rise strongly, now is a great opportunity! ）
