"Chiang Kai-shek wants to betray the revolution and become a new warlord," Zhuang Jihua's block can block others, but it can't stop Deng Yanda, he went straight to the point after entering the door: "Cultural Revolution, you should stand up and call on Huangpu classmates to oppose him." ”

Zhuang Jihua was covered in a cold sweat, Deng Yanda's request directly forced him into a corner, his purpose in closing the door was to hide himself, and when the injury was healed, he would fly away, but things were so strange, the more urgent the injury in his heart, the slower he would get better, and until now he could only barely get off the ground and walk a few steps.

"Teacher, what can you do when you see me like this?" Zhuang Jihua smiled bitterly, but he made up his mind in his heart to be cheating.

"You still have a pair of hands, and you can also write, write an article, calling on Huangpu students to adhere to the revolution and defeat the new warlords." Deng Yanda made a direct request.

Zhuang Jihua was a little angry in his heart, boss, you still want to use me as a gunman, this is not good. His brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, and he calmly considered it: "Let me, a student, oppose the teacher, this is untenable in the first place, this is one of them; Second, the president's post of commander-in-chief has not yet been removed, and theoretically I am still his subordinate, and letting my subordinates oppose my superiors violates the military discipline of the National Revolutionary Army and also violates revolutionary discipline; With both of these points, it is inappropriate for me to write such an article. ”

Zhuang Jihua believes that his reason is not reluctant but sufficient, Chiang Kai-shek has not completely broken with Wuhan, as long as he is still the commander-in-chief, I cannot write such an article.

But Deng Yanda disagreed: "Chiang Kai-shek's betrayal of the revolution has been very obvious, in Jiangxi, he instructed his party members to destroy the party headquarters and kill the trade union leaders, what is this not a betrayal?" During the Cultural Revolution, you can't forget the overall situation of the revolution with the personal friendship of teachers and students! ”

Zhuang Jihua was silent, Deng Yanda's words plucked the strings in his heart, the signs of Chiang Kai-shek's knife are already very obvious, history will move according to the original trajectory, and all the plans he painstakingly made in the past have all failed.

The smell of blood in the air was getting stronger.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Jihua's emotions suddenly became very irritable: "Director Deng, I don't understand, why did things develop to such a point, you want to cut power, why can't you wait?" Wait for the success of the Northern Expedition and then...., can't it? ”

"Of course not, at that time, Chiang Kai-shek's power was even stronger." Deng Yanda said without hesitation that in fact, his worries were almost the common worries of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in Wuhan, that after the completion of the Northern Expedition, Chiang Kai-shek's prestige as commander-in-chief would inevitably rise to an unparalleled level, and more people would inevitably turn to him, and in addition, Chiang would inevitably promote a large number of cronies, and at that time, his power would be unrestrained.

"Hmph," Zhuang Jihua spewed out a heavy breath in his nostrils: "In the war years, military merit is naturally higher than in the peace era, this is in all countries, Washington and Grant in the United States all relied on military merit to become president, this is normal, on the contrary, I think that when the outcome of the war has not yet been determined, it is not normal to think about cutting power." ”

Hearing Zhuang Jihua's words to defend Chiang Kai-shek, Deng Yanda was very angry, and he said loudly: "You are still defending him, you are injured, is your brain confused?" Since March 20 (i.e., the Zhongshan ship incident), his step was not to sabotage the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, to sort out the party affairs case, to demand that [***] members withdraw from the First Army, not to strike, and to attack the Lianghu peasant movement everywhere and the Wuhan labor movement, which is exactly the same tone as the tone of the Xishan Conference faction. ”

"I am in favor of restricting the labor movement and the peasant movement, because when the National Government passed the bill to protect private property, why is it that there are now a large number of cases of arbitrary raids and arbitrary confiscation of private property in various localities, and why has this kind of behavior that clearly violated the law of the National Government has not been stopped?" Zhuang Jihua asked rhetorically.

"At this time, the infantile disease in the early stage of the revolution," Deng Yanda's tone was exactly the same as Jiang Xianyun's: "This kind of infantile disease is acceptable, and it is also the price that the revolution must pay, as long as the masses are mobilized and the revolution succeeds, everything will be on the right track." ”

Deng Yanda knew that Zhuang Jihua was the promoter of this law, and this reason could not convince him, so he changed his tone and said: "Cultural Revolution, this infantile disease should be eliminated soon, [***] and Borodin also recognized the abnormal phenomena in the peasant and labor movements in the two lakes, and they have begun to solve these things." ”

"Strike outside every day," there was a whole slogan outside the window, this kind of slogan can be heard every day, Zhuang Jihua is very used to it, and he is still a little unaccustomed to hearing it for a day: "A few days ago, the hospital trade union also organized a strike and demanded wages, I heard them say that the minimum wages should be raised to 80 oceans, I am afraid that Minister Song will have a headache now." ”

Zhuang Jihua's tone contained a hint of ridicule, when he heard this request, he couldn't believe his ears, the salary of an ordinary nurse will rise to 80 oceans, you must know that a soldier's salary is only 12 oceans, he, a general-level officer, is only more than 100 oceans a month, a silver dollar can buy 20 catties of rice in Wuhan, if converted according to purchasing power, 80 oceans is equivalent to more than 3,000 yuan in the 21st century.

Deng Yanda didn't expect Zhuang Jihua to suddenly feel sorry for Song Ziwen, and after thinking about it, he understood, Zhuang Jihua was still complaining.

"You don't have to worry about him, this person is also a soft bone, he used to swear to support the workers and peasants, but now his tone has changed, and he is completely frightened by the fact that the strike has caused financial difficulties and cannot collect taxes." Deng Yanda said contemptuously that he hadn't realized that the topic had been reversed by Zhuang Jihua, and he was no longer writing articles or something.

"Of course, Minister Song has to worry about it, hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line can't pay their salaries, but they will cause mutiny, so let's say that in this hospital, if the nurses and doctors can't get paid, they will pick on them, and we won't have to wait for death." Zhuang Jihua's words concealed reproach, and Deng Yanda naturally heard it, and he couldn't help but look at Zhuang Jihua again.

The slightly reckless young man in Yunqiao back then, the naughty young man in the Whampoa Military Academy who loved to tell jokes, has now matured and has begun to dare to refute him, the original teacher.

He overestimated Zhuang Jihua and refuted that he had to do it as a last resort.

Zhuang Jihua knew that his article would not be of the slightest use, it was impossible for the army supporting Chiang Kai-shek to turn around because of an order from Wuhan, and the Whampoa classmates in the first army would not change because of his attitude, just as Jiang Xianyun would not give up [***], and Hu Zongnan would not give up Sanming and cooking. Such an article was written with only one result, cutting off one of his paths.

"The Cultural Revolution and revolution are a difficult road, and Chinese society must go through great turmoil and great shaking in order to rejuvenate, rebuild the country, and rejuvenate the nation." Deng Yanda's words contained deep feelings, he stood up, looked at the sky outside the window, and said affectionately.

"Our people are so industrious, so kind, but our country is so poor and weak, anyone can bully her, the country is in danger, the fundamental reason for the national crisis lies in the irrationality of the system, to break the feudal system of thousands of years, to defeat imperialism, to complete the revolution, only by mobilizing the workers and peasants to organize, otherwise our revolution can only be empty talk."

Deng Yanda preached his theory on various occasions, but few people accepted it, and his theory was between the two parties, the Kuomintang thought that it was too inclined to the Communist Party, and the Communist Party thought that it was reformism and that it would not work, but he still insisted on it.

Zhuang Jihua did not interrupt Deng Yanda's words, and chose to play the role of a quiet listener, he knew that once the topic unfolded, it would be impossible to end it without a few hours. More importantly, knowing that the other party will not change their point of view, and at the same time will not succeed, is it still interesting to continue talking? Is that necessary?

Deng Yanda talked endlessly for a few minutes, but he didn't get the response he deserved, and he was very disappointed: "It seems that you still have to take refuge in him." ”

Zhuang Jihua said solemnly: "Teacher, I'm sorry, in my opinion, this is a conflict of interests, the principal is at fault, the comrades in Wuhan are not completely correct, the student is humble and does not want to get involved in this kind of dispute." ”

Zhuang Jihua's heart was like a cramp when he said this, but he couldn't help but say it, otherwise he couldn't predict what the consequences would be.

"I don't have such students," Deng Yanda said coldly, "my students should be revolutionary fighters, not cowards who surrender to power." ”

"Teacher!" Zhuang Jihua was a little ashamed, in front of this kind of martyr who completely disregarded himself, he couldn't show his righteousness no matter what.

Deng Yanda took a long breath, he was full of confidence before he came, but now he is very disappointed, a few days ago Zhang Zhizhong came back from Nanchang and wanted to take away the student corps, but he stopped him, and at the same time persuaded him to stay and break with Chiang Kai-shek, Zhang Zhizhong also refused.

Zhang Zhizhong and Zhuang Jihua have a personal friendship with him. But these two people were ......, which made Deng Yanda have a deep sense of frustration, so his tone in disappointment was very unkind.

"Teacher, we need unity, once divided, the Northern Expedition will be over, and the revolution will become unexpected. Therefore, I do not advocate division, but I hope that both sides will take a step back and meet some of the requirements of the principal, so as to cooperate for this situation. Zhuang Jihua said: "I know that my proposal will not be approved by the central government, and they now want to remove the president from his post and take away the power of the president, but they don't want to think about it, with the current power of the Wuhan monarchs, can they take it away?" Thinking only about the good, but not paying attention to the ways and means, will eventually ruin the current situation. ”

Zhuang Jihua paused, and added: "The Northern Expeditionary Army is now approaching Shanghai, what is Shanghai?" It is China's financial center, industrial center, and commercial center, and if Shanghai collapses, the national political axe will not be able to support it at all, and the entire Chinese economy will regress by at least 20 years, and the country's financial system will collapse. If Shanghai is conquered, as in Wuhan, production will be completely suspended, and banks will be completely closed. The consequences of this..."

"How is it possible, aren't the factories in Wuhan still operating, and the banks not operating the same? I see that you are the same, frightened by the workers' and peasants' movement. Excessive anxiety! ”

Deng Yanda coldly dropped a sentence and left, leaving Zhuang Jihua with a helpless face.

Zhuang Jihua was more eager than ever to get better as soon as possible, and after the Northern Expeditionary Army marched into Shanghai, he could finally walk around the courtyard. The spring sun shone warmly on his body, but his mood was extremely cold, and the date was getting closer and closer.

Before the Northern Expeditionary Army entered the city, the Shanghai workers launched a third armed uprising to occupy Shanghai, and then established the Municipal Axe, which became the General Labor Union and the workers' pickets. With two command centers in China's largest city, it seems like everything in Wuhan is about to repeat itself in Shanghai.

Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu obviously felt that Zhuang Jihua's temper had become irritable, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he would lose his temper, but even in this regard, Zhuang Jihua was very close, and he only looked for them when he was angry, and rarely rushed at nurses like Xiaoxiu.

After the signs of Chiang Kai-shek's betrayal became obvious, Li Zhilong's situation improved significantly, and he became active in the Wuhan political arena, organizing mass public meetings, publishing articles exposing the Zhongshan ship incident, and was very busy. But Pan Huiqin still ran to the hospital every now and then, delivering soup and water, and Zhuang Jihua tasted all kinds of soups in Guangdong.

Pan Huiqin has gone through some turmoil, and although she has no opinion on opposing Chiang, she is not as optimistic as Li Zhilong, and she is worried about the development of the situation.

"The dragon is very busy right now, and he doesn't stay in the house all day." Pan Huiqin complained to Zhuang Jihua while pouring soup for Zhuang Jihua: "Cultural Revolution, how do you say this situation will change in the future?" Zaita was very excited, but I always felt unsure. ”

"Sister-in-law, I've been holding back in Tian for too long, and I finally have a chance to display my talents, so let him toss for a few days." Zhuang Jihua said calmly that Li Zhilong appeared more and more frequently in the newspaper, and he understood what was going on with his toes. However, with the lessons of Jiang Xianyun and Deng Yanda, coupled with Li Zhilong's past "bad deeds", he was not sure to convince him, but he felt a little sorry for him, after all, when he was on the Zhongshan ship, he did not defend him, but suggested sacrificing him.

"I heard that Chairman Wang has already arrived in Shanghai and will come to Wuhan soon." Pan Huiqin had some hopes, and Wang Jingwei once admired Li Zhilong very much, and promoted him all the way to the position of director of the Navy Bureau.

"Sister-in-law, you go back and persuade Zaitian, the principal's parting of ways with Wuhan has been decided, it is the same whether Wang Jingwei returns to China or not, don't place any hopes on him, the lesson of the Zhongshan ship must be remembered."

Pan Huiqin thought about it and nodded, she thought that Zhuang Jihua's words were right, Wang Jingwei had to be able to show a certain toughness when he was in Guangzhou, Chiang Kai-shek would not be able to monopolize the party, government and army, and Li Zhilong would not suffer so much.

"Sister-in-law, you go back and persuade him, now you want to keep a low profile, don't express your stance easily."

Compared with Zhuang Jihua, Li Zhilong's situation is more complicated, Chiang Kai-shek and the Communist Party will not trust him easily, and his future path is very narrow.

Li Zhilong was very understanding and unhappy when he heard Pan Huiqin's words, and he thought that now was a good opportunity to overturn the Zhongshan incident, and Chiang Kai-shek's betrayal of the revolution began at that time. Facts have proved that the Zhongshan ship was a premeditated and planned counter-revolutionary event by Chiang Kai-shek, whose purpose was to squeeze out [***] and seize the leadership of the party, government, and army. And he, Li Zhilong, was a victim, a hero who resolutely fought against Chiang Kai-shek, and it was time to vindicate him.

But his thoughts were shattered by Pan Huiqin's words.

"Who do you think is accurate in your judgment of the Cultural Revolution?"

Facts have long proved that Zhuang Jihua's judgment is far above him, whether it is the Zhongshan ship or the Eastern Expedition to the Northern Expedition, he cannot be compared with Zhuang Jihua at all.

Li Zhilong hesitated but stubbornly insisted: "Chiang Kai-shek's betrayal of the revolution has been so obvious, is it still wrong to oppose Chiang?" I don't think I did anything wrong. ”

Pan Huiqin didn't understand either, but with her intuition of a female surname, she stubbornly believed that Zhuang Jihua's words were reasonable, Wang Jingwei was unreliable, and he would definitely get together with Chiang Kai-shek.

"Zaitian, you'd better talk to him face to face, to be honest, don't look at so many people around you now, but I think that only the Cultural Revolution is your friend, and he won't harm you. All right? Pan Huiqin asked softly.

Li Zhilong hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

Like Li Zhilong, he has the idea of overturning the case and correcting his name, as well as Li Haoyi. A year ago, he was dismissed as secretary of the Youth League Committee of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangdong, and was punished with a stay in the party, and after he was depressed for a while, now with the changes in the political situation, his status in the party has begun to rise, because he was the first party member to rise up against Chiang Kai-shek, and he was the first to see through Chiang Kai-shek's true face.

However, what he hated most was not Chiang Kai-shek, but Zhuang Jihua, who had flaunted his might in front of him and made him impressed.

Li Haoyi came to Wuhan in December, when Zhuang Jihua was like Zhongtian, the hero of the Niu Xing battle, the proud hero of Huangpu, and all kinds of halos were gathered in one, in this case, of course, he could not take any action, he could only hide in the Wuhan Central Trade Union and wait for the opportunity. Now the opportunities are starting to arise.

What he feels the same with him is Yu Shandu, who was questioned by Zhuang Jihua ten times. Ten questions, so that Yu Shandu for a long time in Huangpu can not raise his head, since then, he has decided that Zhuang Jihua is a banner of the Huangpu right, to defeat the right, you must pull out this banner, but since then, he has never had the opportunity to compete with Zhuang Jihua face to face.

Yu Shandu was originally in the Political Department of the Wuhan Branch of Huangpu, but after Jiang Xianyun germinated the training of the workers' pickets into an army, with the support of Nie Rzhen, a group of military backbones were transferred from the army to serve as instructors, including Yu Shandu.

A dark cloud quietly gathered in the sky above Zhuang Jihua, which was unexpected by him and by others.
