Liutang Town is a big town in Qingxin County, Liu Zhenen is the richest man in the town, his family has thousands of acres of land, in addition to dyeing workshops, warehouses, and brick factories. After the Xinhai Revolution, Liu Zhenen returned to his hometown to inherit the ancestral business, and now has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son is studying in the United States, the second son is at home, and the daughter is studying at Guangzhou Normal University. Liu Zhenen's family has a team of seventy or eighty people, with fifty or sixty long guns and seven or eight short guns. After the establishment of the peasant association, after the summer harvest, Liu Zhenen sent people to collect rent and usury, and the peasant association led the peasants to resist rent and interest, and the village protection team and the peasant regiment army organized by the peasant association formed a confrontation in the village, but the peasant regiment soldiers had few guns and were at a disadvantage.

Zhuang Jihua convened Yu Jishi, Zeng Kuoqing, Yang Qigang, Deng Wenyi and others in the team headquarters to discuss, after the introduction of the palace embroidery painting, Zeng Kuoqing immediately stood up excitedly, and scolded in Sichuan dialect: "The old wealth of the dog, if you don't tidy it up, I don't know how many eyes Lord Ma has." Cultural Revolution, I don't need you to come forward, I'll go. ”

However, Yang Qigang said that he should be cautious and asked his superiors for instructions, Yu Jishi and Deng Wenyi immediately agreed, but Jiang Xianyun resolutely supported Zeng Guangqing. This made it difficult for Zhuang Jihua, it was good to ask his superiors for instructions, but what if Chiang Kai-shek did not agree to send troops? In the end, Zhuang Jihua still adopted Yang Qigang's suggestion and called Chiang Kai-shek's office, but he didn't think that Chiang Kai-shek was not there.

"How did you mother-in-law and mother-in-law, like a man?" Gong Xiuhua stood up and accused Zhuang Jihua: "Isn't it just a trip, doesn't Liu Zhenen dare to shoot at you." ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, Zhuang Jihua was cheerful in his heart, the palace embroidery painting was right, as long as the army drove over, it showed its attitude, Liu Zhenen was a fool from time to time, he would never dare to shoot at the army.

"In a word, Gong classmate is really a female Zhuge also." Zhuang Jihua happily dropped a sentence: "Wushan, I think so, I led the team to do a camping exercise, and the route is..." ”

"It's good, but I'll go." Jiang Xianyun knew that Zhuang Jihua was worried that someone would investigate and transfer troops without authorization afterwards, so in the name of camping and training, he actually took the responsibility on his own head.

"You can't go, you still have to stay at the team site and draw up a list of cadres for the new Second Regiment, that's a matter for your party representatives, do you want to push it to me, that's not okay. Or I'll go with Brother Enlargement. Zhuang Jihua said with a smile, but gave Jiang Xianyun a look. Jiang Xianyun didn't know what he meant, but he also knew that Zhuang Jihua must have a deep meaning, so he no longer insisted.

"Brother Enlargement, you go to the first regiment to find Hu Zongnan, and say that Liu Kanlian will be transferred to carry out this camping exercise." The first regiment has not yet appointed a regimental commander, and Hu Zongnan is in charge of the regular training of the three regiments in the capacity of deputy regiment commander and commander of the first battalion. Zeng Kuoqing's heart was full of joy, and he immediately went out to find Hu Zongnan.

"Alright, that's it, let's go, what to do. Mr. Gong, you also go and take a rest, and we will leave in thirty minutes. ”

After everyone left, Jiang Xianyun asked, "Cultural Revolution, what do you mean?" ”

"It's not interesting, of course I have to seize the opportunity to show my face in front of this kind of beauty." Zhuang Jihua smiled slyly.

"Tell the truth." Jiang Xianyun said unhappily that he still didn't like Zhuang Jihua to joke about such serious things.

"Okay, the truth is ......" Zhuang Jihua approached Jiang Xianyun and whispered: "You didn't find that the palace embroidery painting is very beautiful, you said that I can be in the ...... this time"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Xianyun's eyes widened, and he raised his hand to fight. "Good, good; I said, I said" Zhuang Jihua hurriedly said to forgive, and then said deflatedly: "It's boring, I don't have a sense of humor at all, and I don't know how to cooperate." ”

After speaking, he said with a serious face: "Your identity determines that you can't go, only I am the most suitable to go." Jiang Xianyun heard the words and thought about it carefully, only to find that the officers of Zhuang Jihua's troops were all Kuomintang members, not a single [***] member, and Liu Kanlian's three platoon commanders, Zhong Bin, Qiu Qingquan, and Yang Yinzhi, were all activists of the Sun Society in the first and second phases. Jiang Xianyun understood that Zhuang Jihua was trying to prevent someone from attacking [***] in the future, and after figuring it out, he couldn't help but be moved by Zhuang Jihua's painstaking efforts, and he didn't understand why Zhuang Jihua had prejudices against [***].

"In addition, Director Zhou asked me to cooperate with your work, and you have to draw up candidates for the cadres of the Second Regiment as soon as possible." Zhuang Jihua said as if he didn't care, and after finishing speaking, Zhuang Jihua left the conference room quickly.

Jiang Xianyun looked at his departing back, his heart was shocked, and he kept shouting in his head, did he notice? Or is it just a temptation?

Before leaving, Director Zhou suddenly called Jiang Xianyun to the office of the Military Commission of the Guangzhou District Party Committee, and after abandoning the left and right, Director Zhou secretly gave him a task, that in the reorganization, all the cadres of one or two regiments should be arranged as [***] members or Communist Youth League members, or they should be activists of the Youth Army Association. Therefore, in the new regiment, Jiang Xianyun only arranged a few [***] members such as Zuo Quan and Xu Jishen as future battalion and company commanders.

Jiang Xianyun already has a complete equipment table in his heart, but he can't control the selection of the head of the regiment, the head of the regiment must be appointed by Chiang Kai-shek himself, and to be honest, he also thinks that except for Zhuang Jihua, the talents of the other students in the first phase of Huangpu are not enough to hold the position of head of the regiment, even he himself is only reluctant.

The selection of cadres for the Second Regiment was originally his scope of work, why did Zhuang Jihua mention Director Zhou and say that he wanted to cooperate with his work, did Director Zhou explain to him? No, Zhuang Jihua is not a member of the [***], and he still has prejudices against our party, so it is impossible for Director Zhou not to keep such an important matter from him.

Jiang Xianyun was puzzled, he couldn't help but want to ask Director Zhou for an understanding, but after thinking about it, although Zhuang Jihua had prejudices against [***], he had never seen him say anything against [***], let alone against [***], but he defended [***] everywhere, and he also proposed a wooden stick to Director Zhou and said, thinking of this, Jiang Xianyun's eyes couldn't help but light up, could it be that Zhuang Jihua and Director Zhou have a tacit understanding.

can only be like this, Jiang Xianyun felt that he had the bottom in his heart.

The Huizhou Hall at No. 89 Yuexiu South Road is a two-story brick and wood Western-style house, since the Central Party Department moved here, the lawn in front of the house has been razed, the road has been widened here, and several steps have been built in front of the door, and a few coachmen sit there idly waiting for guests in the corner of the steps, and two guards stand numbly in front of the door, looking at the officials who come in and out dullly.

Zhu Zhuowen got off the rickshaw and threw a bill to the driver, looked left and right, and then bowed his head and walked into the gate of the Central Party Headquarters.

He pushed open a door on the second floor, and shouted loudly when he entered the door: "Brother Yuanqiu, my brother is here to trouble you again." ”

Hearing Zhu Zhuowen's characteristic voice, Deng Zeru raised his head helplessly: "Loud guy, you can't be quieter with this voice, this is the Central Party Headquarters, not the Garden of Consolation." ”

After saying that, he asked the guards to pour water for Zhu Zhuowen, Zhu Zhuowen threw his hat on Deng Zeru's table, sat on the chair opposite Deng Zeru with a big grin, and said: "I said Brother Deng, you are as timid as a mouse, the bullets and bullets have come over, and you are afraid of this voice." You literati. ”

Deng Zeru blinked, then shook his head and said, "Loud guy, you, what are you looking for me today." ”

"That's right, you also know that I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." Zhu Zhuowen patted his thigh and stood up to inspect the room, and a portrait of Sun Yat-sen hung on the front wall, on both sides of which was "The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard." There were also two staff members in the office who looked up at the most distinctive voice in Guangzhou when Zhu Zhuowen entered the room, and then continued to do their own thing.

Zhu Zhuowen walked around the house twice before saying, "Brother, is there any hope for the tax package I said last time?" ”

"Brother, Mr. Liao is coming here for a meeting tomorrow, you can ask him yourself," Deng Zeru said lightly, and added after the meeting: "However,...., last time I asked Mr. Liao, Mr. Liao insisted on public bidding. ”

Zhu Zhuowen nodded, and said with a gloomy face: "Oh, then I'll go back and prepare the bid." ”

After saying that, he left without looking back.

In the courtyard of the Liu family in Liutang Town, Zhuang Jihua, Zeng Kuoqing, Peng Fentian, Gong Xiuhua, and a young man in student clothes sat in the hall of the compound with Liu Zhenen, Liu Zhenen pinched his beard and looked at the four of them coldly, and the second son Liu Hu stood beside him angrily with his hands on his waist. Outside the hall, the head of the teacher and a group of family members were gearing up, just waiting for the master in the hall to say hello. Outside the village gate was Liu Kan with soldiers and more peasants with sickles and hoes.

Compared with the tension inside and outside the courtyard, the living room is relatively relaxed, Zhuang Jihua is drinking tea very calmly, not caring about Liu Hu's anger, and Peng Fentian doesn't care about drinking tea, but he is different from Zhuang Jihua, Zhuang Jihua drinks tea because he is thirsty, but Peng Fentian is tasting tea.

"Master Liu, good tea." Peng Fentian praised: "This is authentic Laoyin tea, appetizing and thirst-quenching." ”

Liu Hu was so angry that his face turned red and shouted: "After drinking tea, hurry up, don't think that if you bring a few soldiers, you can scare anyone, the Liu family is not frightened." ”

"We're just here to reason with Master Liu." Gong Xiuhua wiped the sweat on his face with a handkerchief: "The peasants outside have worked hard for a year, and as soon as Master Liu's rent and usury are collected, they will have no income, how can you let them live." ”

"If you plant our family's land, you naturally have to pay rent, otherwise you will plant it for nothing!" Liu Hu shouted loudly: "If you borrow money from our family, you won't pay it back?" Is there a truth to this in the world? ”

The student pretended to stand up and walked to the middle of the living room: "Master Liu, I don't like to hear this, I heard that Master Liu also followed the prime minister, shed blood for the revolution, and fought hard. Mr. Liu's rent is 70%, and the usury interest is as high as 60%, is this reasonable? ”

Zhuang Jihua looked at the student clothes with a smile on his face, if Jiang Xianyun came, he would immediately recognize that this was Xia Yanglin, the son of the Xia patriarch of the paddy field market.
