Hu Hanmin and Liao Zhongkai, who stayed in Guangzhou, were overjoyed to conquer Chaoshan, and decided that Liao Zhongkai, Peng Bai and others would go to the front line to offer condolences; At this moment, Jiangxi Benren sent troops across the Jiangxi-Guangdong border to attack Shaoguan, and Tan Yankai was shocked to withdraw his troops from the Xingning front line and rushed back to Shaoguan; Lin Hu took the opportunity to pursue and defeated the Hunan army's rearguard at Lianping Chenxu.

Jieyang recuperation gave Zhuang Jihua time to reorganize the troops, especially the first two companies, he promoted the political education and training model of the seventh company to these two companies, and also began to reflect on these two operations, which was a work habit he developed in his previous life.

The Second Regiment was stationed in Jieyang City, and the other units only practiced routinely every day, and only the Third Battalion had to conduct political education and cultural study after the daily training was not only long. This made those soldiers very envious of their colleagues in the first and second battalions.

On February 27, the Jieyang County Peasant Association held a city meeting in the city, and a parade was to be held after the meeting, and Qian Dajun sent three battalions to maintain discipline at the venue.

The venue was set in the Jieyang County Yude School Stadium, Zhuang Jihua came to the venue early in the morning to set up a guard, the Yude School Stadium is not very large, can only accommodate more than 1,000 people, he arranged the seven companies in the venue, and the remaining two companies were distributed around the venue.

Li Zhilong led the propaganda team at the venue, they arranged the venue with the people of the Agricultural Association, and hung a huge banner of the Farmers' Association on the rostrum, which made Zhuang Jihua stunned for a long time, he didn't expect the flag to be like this.

The flag is composed of two parts, the top is a small red flag embroidered with a sickle and axe, this Zhuang Jihua understands the representation of the GCD, below is a big red flag, but the center of the flag is embroidered with a white plow, Zhuang Jihua looked at it for a long time and did not understand why the plow was embroidered instead of a sickle or hoe.

"Hey, what are you looking at here?" Just as he was thinking about it, a crisp female voice sounded behind him.

Zhuang Jihua shuddered, but turned his head to see that it was Gong Xiuhua and Peng Fentian, both of them were still dressed like that, Gong Xiuhua was a cloth shoe and military uniform, and Peng Fentian was still barefoot wearing coarse cloth agricultural clothes.

"Please, miss, you have to pay for scaring people to death." Zhuang Jihua said angrily.

"Ha, your Zhuang * is going to be scared to death by the little woman, and the little woman is famous all over the world." Gong Xiuhua said slyly.

"Of course, there is only one kind of woman who can scare a man to death..." Zhuang Jihua didn't say it angrily, and he didn't say it halfway.

"Which?" Gong Xiuhua couldn't help but ask.

"Xiao Qian's kind." Zhuang Jihua said angrily that he wanted to talk about Sadako, but then he thought that Sadako's story was not there yet.

"Xiaoqian's kind? Which kind is that? Gong Xiuhua asked suspiciously. Zhuang Jihua didn't answer, when he didn't hear it.

Peng Fentian watched the two bickering with a smile on the side, he had only seen Zhuang Jihua once, Zhuang Jihua only asked him two words on the battlefield of Yudongling and led people to chase the enemy in a hurry, and even Zhuang Jihua's name was only known when he heard the palace embroidery painting call out just now. However, he had a good impression of this young officer, and when he looked at him, he couldn't help but recall the scene when he smashed the trench wall with a punch. Later, when he heard that the young battalion commander had captured thousands of enemy soldiers, he was even more fond of him, but he did not know that Zhuang * was him at that time.

Looking at the appearance of the palace embroidery painting, Peng Fentian couldn't help laughing, this Zhuang * is so interesting, he has made such a big bend to scold people.

"What are you laughing at? Help me think about what kind of person Xiaoqian is. Li Zhilong said that this Zhuang * spoke around the corner, and now I believe it. Gong Xiuhua said hatefully when he saw Peng Fentian laughing.

"Xiaoqian's original name is Nie Xiaoqian, and she is a beautiful girl in Pu Songling's chat." Peng Fentian couldn't help but explain to Gong Xiuhua.

"Beautiful girl? Does he have such good intentions? "Gong Xiuhua really didn't believe it, and couldn't help but look at Zhuang Jihua and Peng Fentian; Both were smiling, she didn't understand the meaning of this laugh yet, it was an appreciative laugh.

Zhuang Jihua laughed, Peng Fentian laughed, and said while laughing: "You haven't seen Liaozhai." ”

"I've read some, it's just ghost stories, and before I finished reading it, the book was accepted by my mother." Gong Xiuhua said distressedly: "What do you mean by saying him?" ”

Peng Fentian restrained his smile and said slowly, "Aren't you telling ghost stories?" Gong Xiuhua suddenly realized: "Nie Xiaoqian is a female ghost, and he scolded me for being a female ghost." ”

"Otherwise, how could you scare him to death?" Peng Fentian said with a smile.

"A female ghost is a female ghost, as long as you can scare him to death, not to mention a beautiful female ghost." Gong Xiuhua wrinkled his nose and said nonchalantly. At this moment, Zhuang Jihua suddenly felt that she was still quite cute, putting aside her political color, this is a very attractive girl, simple, optimistic and beautiful.

The transformation of the palace embroidery painting, Zhuang Jihua and Peng Fentian were stunned at the same time, and then looked at each other and smiled.

"My name is Zhuang Jihua, the word *." Zhuang Jihua stretched out his hand to Peng Fentian: "Last time, Yudongling said goodbye in a hurry, and I haven't had time to thank you yet." ”

"It's all for the revolution, no thanks. My name is Peng Fentian, and my name is for the people. Peng Fentian held Zhuang Jihua's hand. The hands of the two men clasped together vigorously.

"Brother Min, I'm here to attend the meeting of the peasant cooperatives in the city." Peng Fentian nodded, and Zhuang Jihua asked again: "What does the banner of the Agricultural Association mean?" How nondescript. ”

"How is it nondescript? The red flag with the sickle and axe at the top represents the GCD, the plough on the flag below represents the peasants, the red symbolizes the flame of the revolution, and the white flag symbolizes purity and innocence. I can't understand it so simple, I don't know it. Gong Xiuhua said with some pride that she was very happy to win a game against Zhuang Jihua.

"Then why not choose a hoe or a sickle? That would not be representative of the peasants. ”

"This..."Gong Xiuhua was speechless.

"The plough is a tool that Chinese farmers must use for thousands of years, without the plow, the peasants cannot plough the land, can not plant seedlings and cultivate the fields, so only the plough can represent the peasants." Peng Fentian explained seriously.

Zhuang Jihua nodded, this Peng Fentian obviously knows the peasants better than the palace embroidery painting.

"Brother Weimin seems to have read a lot of books?" Zhuang Jihua looked at Peng Fentian's dress and was a little puzzled.

"Hmph, you don't know him, he is the young master of the Haifeng Peng family, and he studied in Yueben." Gong Xiuhua introduced him.

Zhuang Jihua looked at him with some surprise, he knew a Peng Pai in the Haifeng Peng family, and he asked tentatively: "You and Minister Peng Pai Peng are....?" ”

"He was my uncle, and he was the one who led me on the revolutionary road." Peng Fentian didn't mind revealing his GCD identity.

"You're a party member?"

"Not yet, it's a member of the Youth League."

"You're learning from your uncle, aren't you?" Zhuang Jihua said with a smile, Peng Pai is dressed like this, and after entering Guangzhou, he is still straw sandals + coarse cloth clothes, except for his temperament, he is like a farmer.

Peng Fentian scratched his head and nodded: "I think my uncle is right, if you want to get close to the peasants, you must first get close to the peasants in terms of living habits." At first, I approached the peasants in leather shoes and a long shirt, but they thought I was going to collect silk and kowtowed to me. I said I was Peng Pai's nephew, and they pointed to me and said that I was dressed differently from my uncle, and then they accepted me after I changed it. ”

Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and asked, "Does it have to be the same as their dress and even living habits?" ”

Peng Fentian nodded affirmatively, but Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said: "I don't see it that way, I think that the current farmers are ignorant, and many of their living habits are backward. ”

"No, the ignorance and backwardness of the peasants are due to the oppression of the landlords and gentry, and only by mobilizing the peasants and overthrowing the rule of the landlords and gentry can the peasants move from backwardness to advanced and from ignorance to civilization." Peng Fentian retorted.

Gong Xiuhua looked at Zhuang Jihua puzzled, she didn't understand why Zhuang Jihua said this, this was obviously different from the education she had received recently.

"Brother Weimin, you and Uncle Ling can do this, I admire it very much; But I think it is very difficult, or almost impossible, for every revolutionary to do what you do, and although your methods are noble, it is difficult to spread them on a large scale," Zhuang Jihua said, waving his hand to stop Peng Fentian's interjection, and continued to follow his own line of thought: "First of all, you can't let every landlord take out his land and distribute it to the peasants like you; Secondly, you cannot make every revolutionary dress and live like you as a peasant; In the end, you will not be able to let the revolutionaries last a lifetime, and the next generation will be like you. Do you think so? ”

Peng Fentian felt that this question was difficult to answer, and Gong Xiuhua interjected: "If you can't do this, you can't be a real revolutionary, and you can't be absorbed into the organization." ”
