Xu Ming woke up at noon the next day, his head was still aching and dizzy, he couldn't remember how he came back, and vaguely remembered that he vomited a mess last night. But now the room has been cleaned up, and two incense sticks have been lit to dilute the smell.

The guards saw that he woke up and hurriedly called him water. Still muttering as he moved. "Ha, the air drum is flat, and the amount of bubbles is unbearable."

Qi Yang's words can be used as a password, which means that (those guys) are fools, and there is nothing that is not worth it (Xu Ming). When Xu Ming heard this, he immediately reprimanded. "What do you know, how can talents be so easy to recruit, you think it's buying pork!" Having said that, thinking of the future officer, he began to have a headache again.

Chengdu in the Republic of China era is worth a visit, the Guan Yue Temple dedicated to Yue Fei and Guan Yu, the quiet and solemn Daci Temple, and the famous Taoist Qingcheng Mountain are also not far from Chengdu. Chengdu's snacks are even more outstanding, especially Mao Xuewang and Mapo Tofu. It's just that if people are unhappy in their hearts, they can't feel the scenery and food, no matter how good they are.

The two wandered aimlessly around the Old Imperial City, and vaguely heard a voice calling behind them. "Thousands of miles, thousands of miles". When I looked vaguely, I saw a figure rushing towards me.

It was Liu Sheng who came. He panted, "Qianli, tell me to be easy to find." ”

The street was not the place to talk, so I found an old teahouse to talk about it.

Xu Ming thought that they had changed their minds, and their expectations were rekindled in their chests. Liu Sheng ignored his color, "Qianli, our ability is low, and our knowledge is very shallow, in fact, it is not suitable for Hunan." ”

Could it be that your brother came over to hit people, but Xu Ming did not complain in his tone. "This time I'm too abrupt, how can I be a company commander in the security regiment than a company commander in the regular army, I won't blame Brother Liu, I hope to come to my Qiyang for guidance in the future."

"Maybe I don't need to guide," Liu Sheng smiled.

This is too much. No matter how good Xu Ming is, his face is uncertain. Liu Sheng pretended not to see it, "I have an idea, it's just." He stopped and looked at Xu Ming.

Liu Sheng didn't continue, but threw out an irrelevant sentence. "Excuse me, Qianli, what do you think of the **Red Army." Last night, when Xu Ming talked about **, he did not slander the Communist Party, bandits, and red rebellion. He thought he had understood Xu Ming's inner thoughts, but he had to verify it.

Could it be that Liu Sheng is **, it seems that he can't reveal his identity like this, or is he a military commander or something, come to fish for me to enforce the law, Xu Ming pondered. After a long time, he said slowly.

"I support national reunification, but I don't think they are flood beasts, and one day, I hope that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party can be reunified." This sentence is not leaky.

Although he didn't have a clear attitude, at least Xu Ming didn't have a bad feeling towards **, which was enough for Liu Sheng.

"I can tell Chisato a few of you, but", he stopped again, his eyes looking straight at Xu Ming.

"Is it **, party member?" Xu Ming began to beat the drum in his heart.

"It used to be, it should be said that it wasn't quite before," he went on to tell Xu Ming that in the 31st year of the Republic of China, Commander Deng (Deng Xihou) fought against the Red Army and had captured several Red Army officers.

"It's hard to say captured, because the officers were held by the Red Army, but they were really Red Army officers, and one of them was even a regimental commander."

"Rebellion?" Xu Ming asked.

"Yes, they are killing each other, I really don't understand why they killed their own people so ruthlessly, I was not in the Sichuan Army at that time, and I heard that the Third Division was chatting before before I knew that suddenly the Communist Party and the army became easy to fight." Liu Sheng's tone was incomprehensible to the Red Army's self-defeating martial arts.

Xu Ming knows this better than Liu Sheng, why the Red Army in Hunan did not gain a firm foothold is directly related to Xia Xi's crazy rebellion, and Zhang Guotao's defeat in the future also has this reason.

"They are all officers of the seventh phase of Whampoa, but I don't know the name. But some of my men still recognize them. Because they were Whampoa students, they didn't kill them after they wrote their confessions and statements. Because of the rebellion, they didn't want to do it anymore, and they didn't want to serve the party and the country anymore, so they basically went back to their hometowns. Oh, by the way, their hometown seems to be over there in Meishan. ”

Xu Ming was a little puzzled, it's been several years, can't these people leave? If you go to Guangdong and Hong Kong to do business, or even find the Whampoa Alumni Association to register again, you can make a comeback, and you don't have to stay at home.

As a graduate of Whampoa, Liu Sheng knows a lot of insiders, it turns out that the seventh phase of Whampoa is very special, and the period is the period of the split between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and Chiang and Kai-shek even suspended the seventh phase! As for finding the Whampoa Alumni Association, it will be able to develop again. Liu Sheng clearly told Xu Ming that this is impossible, because the re-registration is only for students who have been separated for various reasons, and they cannot have anything to do with **, and it is only before the sixth phase of Huangpu.

"They are now under residential surveillance, and they have to report to the local police station every six months, otherwise their families will be taken into custody!" Obviously, finding them is not difficult.

"If Qianli doesn't mind their former ** identity, you might as well look for them, and I can find someone to let them go."

Xu Ming doesn't mind, it's a godsend. Huangpu can't recruit in the eighth phase, let alone the seventh phase of Huangpu, as for their original identity, Xu Ming is more confident than Liu Sheng, and even has benefits, because this restricts their promotion, so that they can work for Xu Ming with peace of mind. And for **, Xu Ming vaguely felt that in terms of will and morality, he had more advantages than the Kuomintang.

The only problem now is that Xu Ming wants to move them. No matter how much hope there is, Xu Ming must be ruined.

Meishan is not far from Chengdu, is a small county with beautiful scenery, just like Shen Congwen's Xiangxi, it is also full of nature and simple style. Xu Ming and Liu Sheng gave him four soldiers: all Meishan natives, and one of them also participated in that battle. A group of six people rushed to Meishan non-stop.

Following the guidance of the chief of the bodyguard, Xu Ming saw a adobe house. The low eaves, the gray walls and the rotten door frames all show the hardships of the owner's life. Stepping into the courtyard, where the rain of the previous days had clearly left many traces, they cautiously tiptoed past a slip of stones above the stagnant water, and saw an old lady sitting in the house.

The old lady is about 50 years old, but people who have a hard life look old, and they may be 40 years old. Apparently she had a hearing problem, and Xu Ming knocked on the door several times before she looked up.

"Which yo", a muffled bass sounded.

A local soldier from Meishan immediately shouted, "Is Ping Yanzi at home?" He has a good friend from Changsha. Xu Ming hurriedly trotted forward and saluted her first, "Auntie, I'm a friend of Lieping," At this time, Xu Ming realized that the woman in front of him not only had bad ears, but also couldn't see clearly.

The old lady said a few more words, Xu Ming couldn't figure out what to say, or the soldier whispered, "She said that Qin Lieping helped people sell paintings on the street. ”

The old lady wanted to clean up the table and chairs, Xu Ming hurriedly pulled her down, this time Xu Ming bought things that were not expensive, some cigarettes, alcohol and supplements. In terms of price, it is far worse than giving it to Huang Yin and Liu Sheng, this is not Xu Ming's philistine, but he has long known that his family is not rich, and he does not dare to give it too valuable for fear of causing misunderstanding.

Xu Ming looked inside the house, the sparse and old furniture and bare walls further illustrated the hardships of the Qin family's mother and son, there were a few broken places on the house, intermittently dripping with rainwater, and several pots underground. Xu Ming looked uncomfortable for a while, a Whampoa officer, known as the pride of the sky, and the arrogance in the army. It has come to this point.

The old lady wanted to boil water for them, but Xu Ming and the others hurriedly stopped it. Several people glanced at each other, but in this house, they had to work for the elderly, and it was still early, so it was better to go to the street.

Meishan County is not big, the stone bridge in the west of the city only a few naughty children playing, suddenly, a child's stone thrown on a ground stall, this group of little guys to see the trouble, one by one suddenly ran away. The middle-aged man at the stall looked about 30 years old, and he was not annoyed when he saw this scene, but just blew the gossip picture with the four big characters of Mai Shenxiang written on it with his mouth. Suddenly, a pair of shiny leather shoes appeared in front of him, he slowly raised his head, and a young man of twenty-three or fourteen years old met his eyes.

An ordinary teahouse, a clean teahouse, two silent tea guests. Xu Ming also explained that he tried his best to pretend to be indifferent and hide the rippling sympathy in his heart.

After drinking the fourth cup, Qin Lie said slowly: "I am very grateful that Mr. Xu can come from Changsha specially, and I am also grateful to Senior Brother Liu who recommended me." It's just that I'm disheartened now, and if it weren't for my mother's still existence, I'm afraid I'd have been out of the dust. The words revealed an indescribable depression.

"I take the liberty to ask, why did Brother Qin say that he was disheartened." Xu Ming asked.

Qin Lieping's tone still didn't reveal any emotion, "I used to devote myself to the revolution with enthusiasm, and at that time, I had an ideal, wanting to defeat the warlords to complete the unification of the country, defeat the emperor, nationalism to abolish unequal treaties, defeat feudalism and complete democracy and equality, but not only between the two parties, but also between classmates and each other!" ”

……

Qin Lieping talked about the painful past. The tone turns deep.

Xu Ming listened quietly, he knew that the person in front of him was just talking, or venting.

"In the past, my family was still passable, with more than 30 acres of land, and my parents sold all the fields for me. When I came home two years ago, my father was dragged down by me and had passed away. The mother was blinded by crying. It's not that the mother is still there. Why should I live in this world? ”

Qin Lieping's tone was still not angry, but tears fell into the cup little by little. He picked up his teacup and drank it down.

The person in front of him is obviously not something that can be impressed by money, he has made it very clear just now, all his dreams have been shattered. The facts of the past brought him nothing but pain and blows. He is alive now only because he has to take care of his mother.

Xu Ming thought for a moment and stood up.

"Brother Qin, with all due respect, your attitude and thoughts are very wrong." Xu Ming said loudly.

Qin Lieping looked at him without words.

"Your ideals can be summed up in three aspects, the country is prosperous and unified! Liberal democracy at home! Diplomacy is equal and independent. ”

Qin Lieping nodded and agreed with Xu Ming's statement.

Xu Ming continued. "The reform revolutions in history have been extremely difficult and dangerous, but they may not have succeeded. Shang Ying, Zhang Juzheng, and Wu Xu changed the law. Some succeeded, some failed. But nothing is easy. If you quit just because of a momentary failure. I guess that's not a responsible attitude. ”

"Besides, whether it is to overthrow the warlords and feudalism at home, or to overthrow the empires and doctrines of Britain and Japan. We are all strong and weak. It takes a lot of effort. Why do you have to think that the revolution needs to succeed all at once? And theoretically speaking, feudalism in the country is not only a force, but also a kind of thought and habit, do you also think that this can be achieved overnight? For example, you shouldn't marry a young wife. But men like it, and women love money. How can this be solved? Forcibly tear them apart? ”

"Now that the Japanese Empire and Doctrine are pressing forward step by step, it can be said that the British Empire can no longer be an enemy of him. Our country now needs to concentrate all its forces and unite all its forces against Japan. The current situation is that we have everything to defeat Japan, and your three ideals can be realized. If Japan is destroyed, we will be doomed. There is no freedom and equality, and they are all slaves. Isn't this kind of difficult moment a time for Whampoa students to work hard to survive? How can you be discouraged? ”

"As a child, shouldn't you bring glory to your parents who have made such great sacrifices for you? Bring them abundance? It doesn't matter if you're miserable yourself, but you're willing to do that like your mother? ”

After saying this, Xu Ming sat down in his seat and looked at him quietly. He believed his words would work.

Qin Lieping's face was red and white, obviously engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

Xu Ming is determined to burn another fire for him! "You don't have to worry, if your leg is broken, it should be curable, and I know a medical professor who has returned from the United States. He can cure cataracts, I suspect your mother is. As for after you leave, I will arrange for someone to take care of you. ”

Speaking of which, he called the two soldiers who had been waiting at the door for a long time. Two sent a stack of paperwork. Xu Ming took it in his hand, looked at it a little, and handed it to Qin Lieping.

It's a deed, the ink hasn't dried, and it's apparently just been written. Qin Lieping picked it up and looked at it, and couldn't help but tremble.

The house is the head of the county. It turned out that Xu Ming arranged for his subordinates to find the largest and most luxurious mansion in Meishan County! Below 50,000, don't bargain, it's up to the two of them to decide!

Xu Ming held his arm tightly, his eyes were full of expectation, "Brother Qin, let's do it with me!" Resist Japan and save the country! Glory to the ancestors! ”

In the teahouse, two people walked out, Xu Ming in front and Qin Lieping in the back.
