Chapter 30: Clues

Jiujiang is located in the northernmost part of Jiangxi Province, and the vast Yangtze River rushes through, supporting the beauty of Jiujiang. The temperature here is moderate, with an average temperature of 167 degrees Celsius all year round, and the annual rainfall reaches 1,600 mm at its peak. Jiujiang has lush vegetation and a forest coverage rate of about 50 percent. According to historical records, Jiujiang was inhabited by a population during the Xia and Shang periods. The Qin and Han dynasties have been small in scale, with a long history and a long history. As an important commercial port, Jiujiang, as a port on the golden waterway, plays an important role in Jiangxi.

Jiujiang County, which first appeared, was the name of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, and after the defeat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Qing Dynasty restored the system. After the Xinghai Revolution, the government system was abolished and Yining Prefecture was changed to Yining County. In 1914, the province set up 4 provinces and governed 81 counties. In the same year, in order to avoid the same name of the province and the county, it was changed to Jiujiang County, and Jiujiang was officially named. Facing Anhui Province across the river, Jiujiang is the main wharf in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River from the south by land. Jiujiang is like a southern passage for Jiangxi, and its strategic significance is very important.

In Jiujiang County, Zhang Shikun went straight to the county government of Jiujiang County and went straight to the Party Affairs Investigation Department. Portraits of Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek hang on the walls, and behind a desk sits a middle-aged man about 40 years old. The middle-aged man wears a gray tunic, with a badge pinned to his chest. "Section chief, come to report for duty and ask for instructions!" Zhang Shikun stood respectfully, his head slightly lowered. The boss nodded expressionlessly and continued, "According to the situation you reported, we have conducted a careful investigation of Ouyang Jian himself. ”

"At present, we have obtained detailed information, Ouyang Jian is 28 years old this year, born in Harbin in 1901. His father, Ouyang Yi, was a businessman. He has an older brother named Ouyang Feng, who is currently serving as a colonel in the 23rd Division of the Northeast Army. Ouyang Jian came to Shanghai at the age of 18 to study for his uncle, Zhong Lihan, a senior staff member of the Standard Chartered Bank in Shanghai who had studied in the United Kingdom. During his studies in Shanghai, Ouyang Jian was keen on the Three People's Principles. and got engaged to her cousin Zhong Wenjuan. Ouyang Jian was dissatisfied with his marriage to his cousin, and left Shanghai in September 1923 to escape the marriage. ”

Ouyang Jian was admitted to the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy in Guangzhou the following year. He excelled in military school, excelled in military qualities, and had close ties with Soviet instructors. This person kept a low profile, and although he occasionally came into contact with communists during his military academy, he did not make radical remarks or performances. This person participated in the Eastern Expedition, and because of his excellent performance, after the start of the Northern Expedition, he became the commander of a battalion of the 2nd Army. After the April 12 purging of the party, this person led some officers and soldiers to leave the army. This person reappeared and was already the captain of the Yunshui County Cheng Security Team. The six-month period from April to October last year was blank. ”

"Ouyang Jian is very talented in military affairs, and Nanjing attaches great importance to it. We need to find out what exactly he did between April and October last year. We suspect that he participated in the Nanchang Uprising. "Section Chief, this is very difficult to do, Ouyang Jian is very difficult to deal with, and his subordinates are loyal." "I've got you covered, maybe by coincidence. His fiancΓ©e, Zhong Wenjuan, graduated from the third phase of the Shanghai Party Affairs Cadre Training Class and is a rare talent. I have already reported to the Nanjing side and transferred Zhong Wenjuan over. ”

"She will lead you directly when she comes, and I will let you know when it will be. This is a photo of Zhong Wenjuan, you can take a look. Zhang Shikun took the photo and looked at it, Ouyang Jian stood in a straight suit, Zhong Wenjuan sat on the lower left and held flowers in his hand and smiled brightly. This photo is the same as the one in Ouyang Jian's hand. "It's a good man and a woman, a natural pair, and they actually ran away from marriage, it's unreasonable. Frankly speaking, Ouyang Jian is indeed a capable person. Zhang Shikun continued: "I can't see that this kid is very feminine, and our county magistrate's daughter also takes a fancy to him, which is another tragedy." ”

Whether Zhang Shikun goes to Jiujiang or not will not affect the investigation of Ouyang Jian. It's just that Zhang Shikun used it as an entry point to make Ouyang Jian's life experience surface, and Ouyang Jian didn't know anything at this time.

Ouyang Jian led a large group of people to arrive in Yunshui County, Guo Boyun led the county government personnel to greet them outside the door in person, and the common people spontaneously poured into the streets to greet the triumphant bandit heroes. Mao Zetan, as the chief of staff, naturally came to greet him, and Li Guangda, Su Yu, Luo Ronghuan, and Song Renqiang were also among them. Ouyang Jian didn't have time to greet them, and was directly welcomed into the county government by Guo Boyun, and the troops were handed over to Li Guangda to take back to the station. Ouyang Jian in the county government said unceremoniously: "County Magistrate Guo, I am not uncommon to have any bandit heroes, but my brothers have lost one-third of their lives, and my two generals have also been bloodstained on the battlefield, so I have lost a lot of money this time!" Ouyang Jian seemed to be a little exhausted.

"Head Ouyang, I understand your feelings. Don't worry, I will fill the vacancy for you, I have already reported to Nanjing for a pension, and 50,000 oceans will be sent down in a few days. This time, it is a bit regrettable that the Military Commission has already incorporated your unit into the official reorganization plan, and it has repeatedly belonged to the 18th Division of the Central Army. However, just in time for disarmament, the integration plan was put on hold. But it doesn't matter, there is hope. The Military Committee believes that Commander Ouyang is a rare talent, an elite of Whampoa, and will focus on your department in the future. "Thank you County Magistrate Guo for your hard work, Ouyang Jian was slightly surprised in his heart.

It seems that he is careless, and it is inevitable that he will not attract the attention of the above if he is so good. It seems that it is a fact that after the victory of the Northern Expedition, the uneven distribution of spoils caused contradictions, and Chiang Kai-shek was eager to weaken the military forces of Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang, Li Zongren, and began to carry out large-scale disarmament. While Ouyang Jian secretly felt lucky, he also confirmed that there was no deviation in the trajectory of history. Seeing that Ouyang Jian was silent, Guo Boyun said: "Captain Ouyang, don't think about it, I have prepared the wine and food for you."

It was a complete family banquet, and the guards Pony and Tao Zhu were dining in another room, and they were not eligible to attend the banquet. During the banquet, Guo Mei gave Ouyang Jian vegetables with red light on her face, and a charming light flashed between her eyebrows. Mrs. Guo knew her daughter's thoughts, and she aimed her eyes at her husband to mean that the head of Ouyang in front of her was a talent, and there was no problem if she was a fast son-in-law of Chenglong. Ouyang Jian's mind was not here, so he naturally couldn't see everyone's thoughts. After three rounds of drinking, Ouyang Jian remembered one thing and said, "County Magistrate Guo, I want to set up a firearms station." ”

"Gunsmith?" Guo Boyun was slightly surprised. Ouyang Jian said with a smile: "County Magistrate Guo, the weapons in our hands are often damaged, some have to be taken outside for repair, and some are simply scrapped. Taking the gun outside to repair it is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and costly. Buying a new rifle is expensive, so I want to set up a gun shop to repair the rifle myself, which is also to save money for the county magistrate. In addition, after our firearms station is formed in the future, it can collect scrapped guns, and if the conditions are met, it can sell firearms, which is a huge profit. ”

Guo Boyun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he said dimly: "Your suggestion is good, but it's ・・・・・・." "I know that County Magistrate Guo has no money, isn't it a reward of 50,000 oceans, even if I pay the 50,000 oceans in advance." "Commander Ouyang takes the overall situation into account so much, how can I have any reason not to support it, but I don't know what to do when I buy a machine!" "Shanghai Gaobeidian Machinery Factory produces this kind of machine, you can ask the Chamber of Commerce to come forward to buy the machine, but you need the approval of the state government, and you need the county magistrate Guo to come out in this regard." "There is no problem with the approval, I asked Zhang Shikun to go to Nanjing to handle it."

"Dad, it's boring that you can't say anything else!" Guo Mei has no interest in rising small mouths. "Captain Ouyang, my daughter has no rules at all when she is spoiled, please don't mind, come and drink." After a few glasses of wine, Mrs. Guo couldn't help but ask: "Captain Ouyang, you are not young, why don't you bring your wife here, so that you can take care of it?" Seeing Guo Mei prick up her ears, Ouyang Jian decided to let her die and said: "I had the intention but my wife didn't want to come, and I had no choice in this poor and remote place." Guo Mei's face changed when she heard this. Mrs. Ouyang must be very beautiful! Isn't it in Nanchang? "I'm sorry to be ugly!" Ouyang Jian took out the photo, Guo Mei reached out and grabbed it to look through it carefully, and soon ran away with a red face. Ouyang Jian pretended to be embarrassed and didn't know what to do. "It's just too unusual, don't mind Commander Ouyang!"

Mrs. Guo apologized: "I can't hide it, the little girl likes you." Don't mind Commander Ouyang, like Captain Ouyang, he is dignified and heroic, and it is normal for girls to like him. It would be fine for the little girl to be unaware and willful. Ouyang Jianxiang pretended to be embarrassed.

Soon, Guo Mei stood by the river, her eyes full of tears. After a while, Li Shuxian hurriedly came, "Miss Guo, why are you looking for me to be so anxious." Li Shuxian glanced left and right and asked vigilantly. Guo Mei sighed and said, "I'm sorry I misunderstood you!" "Why did the sun come out of the west today?" Guo Mei was more vigilant.

"You all know that I'm in the dark, Ouyang Jian has a wife, not from Nanchang. We're all out of the picture, don't think about it! After Guo Mei finished speaking, she covered her face and ran away. Now it was Li Shuxian's turn to be dumbfounded, and for some reason, there was an inexplicable jealousy in her heart. Maybe Lu Wenting can accept it, but suddenly there is another woman who legally owns Ouyang Jian, and it seems difficult to accept it in her heart. Suddenly, he felt pity for Lu Wenting, and couldn't help but be angry with Ouyang Jian, no, I must ask in person to understand, this flowery carrot.

Leaving Guo's Mansion, Ouyang Jian went straight to the White Crane Tower. He was a little proud and finally got rid of Guo Mei's entanglement, but he thought that women in this era would do incredible things once they liked a man. Ouyang Jian pushed the door into the private room of the White Crane Tower, "I'm sorry for making you wait for a long time, and there is no way to socialize." "We understand, whoever made you can't help yourself, let me introduce you." "Wait, let me guess if that's right!" "You're Su Yu!" "Yes, Su Yu reports to you!" "You are Luo Ronghuan!" "The captain is really sharp-eyed, Luo Ronghuan reports to you."

"You are naturally Song Ren's poor!" "Report to the captain, Song Renqiao reports to you!" Ouyang Jian shook hands with the three of them separately and said, "On behalf of the secret detachment, I welcome you, and I have long looked forward to your coming. Don't sit down, let's talk while eating, and it's my personal intention to wash the dust for the three of you. "Comrade Ouyang Jian, I didn't expect this crackdown on bandits to go so smoothly, it's really gratifying, I want to toast you!" Mao Zetan raised his wine glass with a red light on his face. "It's rare for the political commissar to be happy, I borrow flowers to offer a cup of Buddha to everyone!" After a few glasses of wine, everyone was even more excited.

Ouyang Jian continued: "Just now I heard about the Kuomintang's large-scale disarmament plan from Guo Boyun, which is very beneficial to us. At present, Zhang Shiying, Xiao Feng and others are all included in the list of killed in this crackdown on bandits, Guo Boyun does not know the truth, we ・・・・・・. At this time, the guard Tao Zhu walked in and muttered a few words in his ear, Ouyang Jian stood up and said: "That's all for today's meeting, tomorrow we will officially hold a military meeting in the waste brick kiln outside the city, and now the meeting will be dismissed, and everyone will leave separately." After everyone dispersed, Ouyang Jian finally walked out of the White Crane Tower.

Li Shuxian waited in front of the door, and Ouyang Jian asked in surprise: "Is there an emergency?" "Let me ask you, do you have a wife at home?" Ouyang Jian was stunned when he heard this: "Yes, there is?" "It turns out that you are such a person, how embarrassing do you make Miss Lu love, you big liar, Miss Lu is so innocent, you are playing with women." "Li Shuxian, listen to my explanation!" "I don't listen to your explanation, you go and explain to Miss Lu!" Li Shuxian ran away in anger.
