Section 49 Parting (4)
Escaping is escaping, but everyone is in a bad mood, Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu are still vigilant, urging the boat boss to speed up, Jiang Xianyun has already found their ship, and it is inevitable that there will be no interception ahead.
Zhuang Jihua didn't care about anything, he either slept or looked at the meeting in a daze every day, and there were warships flying the flags of various countries cruising on the upper reaches of the river, the gun jackets had already been unloaded, and the muzzles of the guns were high, and they were rampage. There are not many Chinese ships on the river, mainly passenger ships, the difference between the two is very easy, the upward boat, most of the passengers are ordinary, even a little tattered, but most of the downward clothes are gorgeous, dragging their families.
After the ship entered Jiangxi, there was suddenly a slight smell of blood in the air, and gunshots were heard from the shore from time to time, and the nerves on the boat, which were already tense, immediately tensed, and all the people picked up the weapons in their hands.
Du Yuming took the binoculars and looked at them for a long time and finally discovered the source of the gunshots, several soldiers on horseback were chasing the two people, shooting into the sky while chasing, the gunshots were crisp and piercing.
"Take it easy, it's not coming at us." Du Yuming put down the binoculars and said to everyone. Zhuang Jihua was depressed, and Du Yuming naturally took command, although his military rank was lower than Song Yunfei's.
Although it had nothing to do with them, the vigilance on the ship was significantly strengthened, Wu Ziniu put the machine gun in his hand, and Song Yunfei found the ship's boss and asked if he could speed up.
"Cultural Revolution, did we get off the boat in Jiangbei, if they stopped us in Jiujiang, it would be troublesome." Du Yuming said to Zhuang Jihua.
"No, Jiujiang is Zhu Peide's territory, so Zhu Peide will not arrest us, on the contrary, he will treat us with courtesy." Zhuang Jihua said without thinking about it.
Du Yuming was slightly stunned, and Zhuang Jihua continued: "Don't look at Zhu Peide's vow to support Wuhan, but in fact he is really speculative, speculating between the principal and Wuhan, Wuhan appointed him as the chairman of Jiangxi Province, and finally as he wished, but the generals under him are very disgusted with the workers' and peasants' movement, you see, it won't be long before Zhu Peide falls to the principal." ”
After the conquest of Jiangxi, Chiang Kai-shek was very angry at Zhu Peide's slow action, and the provincial chairman did not give it to him, but gave it to Li Liejun. After 4.12, in order to hold Zhu Peide in Wuhan and appoint him as the chairman of Jiangxi Province, Li Liejun left Nanchang and went to Nanjing.
Du Yuming nodded after thinking about it, suddenly remembered the situation just now, and said, "Has Zhu Peide already taken action?" The two people who were chased just now looked very much like the peasant association. ”
"It can't be that coincidental." Zhuang Jihua looked at him in amazement. There was nothing about Zhu Peide in his memory, it was a real accident.
"I think it's a bit like it, but it could also be the private actions of the people below."
But Du Yuming's speculation was soon proven, and at a bend in front of the Jiujiang River, the local garrison set up a slaughter field, and under the command of a bearded officer, more than 20 villagers dressed as villagers had their heads cut off, and blood stained the river red. Jiang Feng sent a murderous clamor from afar.
“… Follow [***]'s fate! Those who harbor the gangsters will be put to death! ”
Zhuang Jihua and Du Yuming looked at each other, but their eyes were completely different, one was indifferent and grief; One is that there is a frenzy hidden in the surprise.
Not long after, there was another burst of gunfire on the shore ahead, the gunfire was very intense, several figures shuttled among the reeds on the riverbank, some people shot behind from time to time, and a large group of soldiers behind shouted and chased into the reeds.
Gradually, the gunfire stopped, and suddenly the guy shouted, "There are people in the water!"
Zhuang Jihua ran over to take a look, and saw a person paddling his arm in the river, it was obvious that he was injured, a wisp of blood stained the river water around him, and the soldiers on the shore had found him, shouting at Zhuang Jihua and their boat.
"Catch him, boatman, and get a reward for catching him."
"Pull him up." Zhuang Jihua ordered.
The boat leaned over and said, "Catch, catch." The two guys handed out the pole, and the people in the river obviously had no strength, grabbing the pole, and the two guys struggled to pull him up.
"Sir, it could be [***]." The boat boss came to Zhuang Jihua and said, although Du Yuming next to him didn't say anything, his face was very weird.
"Whatever, [***] people aren't all bad people, if you can save one, count it as one." Zhuang Jihua said lightly.
"Yes, even if it is a virtue." The boat boss snorted, of course he knew that Zhuang Jihua would not send people to receive the reward.
But Zhuang Jihua looked at the man, but the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt.
"Xia Yanglin, why are you?" Zhuang Jihua was extremely surprised.
Xia Yanglin looked at Zhuang Jihua, suddenly smiled, his body went soft, and he fell on the boat.
"Quick, bring the medicine box." Zhuang Jihua hurried over, but Wu Ziniu had already rushed ahead of him and helped Xia Yanglin up. Wang Xiaoshan prepared very carefully, he took into account Zhuang Jihua's injury, and there were some medicines on board.
Xia Yanglin opened his eyes and saw Zhuang Jihua's face, he smiled at Zhuang Jihua, and said weakly: "Damn, this fortune has been saved." ”
Everyone couldn't help but be happy, Zhuang Jihua likes this kid a little now, but how did he get to Jiangxi, how could he be hunted down by the army? These questions are swirling in Zhuang Jihua's mind.
Xia Yanglin rested for a while, and his spirit gradually recovered, but his demeanor was a little depressed.
"Why are you here?" Zhuang Jihua asked.
"We came to Jiangxi to support the Northern Expeditionary Army, and later I was sent here to engage in the peasant movement, Zhu Peide ordered [***] to leave the country, and the people below were killed, and all those who engaged in the peasant association were killed." Xia Yanglin replied.
Du Yuming didn't know Xia Yanglin, he frowned and asked, "That's also killing [***], aren't you [***]?" ”
Xia Yanglin shook his head and sighed: "I'm not a Communist Party, I'm a Kuomintang, damn, those Qiu Ba, Lao Tzu just said a few words, they even want to kill Lao Tzu, decrepit boy." ”
Du Yuming was stunned, he looked at Xia Yanglin with some disbelief: "You are the Kuomintang?" So why kill you? ”
"They want to kill the members of the peasant association, I said that Chairman Zhu said that he was sending [***] out of the country, not killing people, and besides, many people were not [***] at all, they were from our Kuomintang. There are many peasant associations in Guangdong that are in the hands of the Kuomintang, and I am sure that the peasant associations in this area are all in power by the Kuomintang, and they are killing innocents indiscriminately. Xia Yanglin said sadly: "I knew that the Kuomintang was like this, so I wouldn't have joined." ”
"Forget it, it's not easy for you to pick up a life." Zhuang Jihua said lightly that this situation was also expected by him.
"Cultural Revolution, what's going on?" Xia Yanglin smashed his fist on the ship's board: "The good Northern Expedition has been ruined like this, and the revolution is over." ”
Zhuang Jihua patted him on the shoulder, and he was speechless. Song Yunfei walked away silently, and Wu Ziniu said in a gloomy tone: "Brother, just pick up a life." Immortals fight, mortals suffer; We are all small people, what can we do, go home, even if your father wants to lock you up, you should go home. ”
"How can even the Kuomintang members be killed? Isn't that a mess? Du Yuming was very dissatisfied and puzzled.
"I don't understand this, it's the same excesses, whoever speaks for the Communist Party now will be branded as a Communist Party, the peasant movement, after all, it violated the interests of the landlords, and now they want to take revenge." Zhuang Jihua's explanation is reasonable.
"But what we have adopted is rent reduction and interest reduction, except for a few bullying landlords, there is no house raid at all, and we have always controlled it very strictly." Xia Yanglin still couldn't understand: "The landlords have only lost a small part of their things, but they can greatly improve the lives of the peasants, which is good for the country and society." ”
"Man's greed is unlimited." Zhuang Jihua was completely desperate, everything he designed was over, and history just twisted slightly, and it returned to its original trajectory. What am I doing? Wrestling with windmills.
"Don Chelcode, I'm a fucking fool!" Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but scold.
Du Yuming and the others looked at him dumbfounded, not knowing what he meant.
"Cultural Revolution, weren't you arrested in Wuhan? How did you get here. Xia Yanglin remembered Zhuang Jihua's matter and couldn't help asking.
Zhuang Jihua didn't speak, Xia Yanglin still wanted to ask, but Wu Ziniu pulled him aside.
The clouds are long, and the distant mountains are bloody. The surging Yangtze River, roaring into the distance; Washing away the endless blood on both sides of the strait.
In Jiujiang Port, Zhuang Jihua saw from a distance that the wharf was heavily guarded, and the soldiers "escorted" a group of people to board the ship, and then the ship left the wharf and headed for Wuhan.
"This is the last batch." Du Yuming saw in the telescope that the banner on the pier read: Farewell to the [***] members to leave the country.
Politics = drama, performances on stage, obscuring the brutal truth of the audience.
A patrol boat came over after a while, and the soldiers on board loudly ordered the ship to stop, and the boat boss looked at Zhuang Jihua, Zhuang Jihua nodded.
The patrol boat approached, and an officer jumped on board with two soldiers.
"Who are you? Where to go? The officer's face was full of murder, and the heavy machine guns on the patrol boat were aimed at everyone on board.
"From Wuhan, to Nanjing." Du Yuming stepped forward to answer.
"Who are you?"
"I am Du Yuming, the captain and company commander of the Whampoa Military Academy Cadet Corps, this is Major General Zhuang Jihua, the commander of the first division, those two are his adjutants, one is his friend, and the others are boatmen." Du Yuming doesn't hide his identity now.
The officer was stunned for a moment, looked Zhuang Jihua up and down, and some didn't believe that this person who looked very depressed was actually the famous Zhuang Jihua.
