Chapter 573: The Teahouse Hears
Huang'an, located at the southern foot of Dabie Mountain in the northeast of Hubei, is also known as a place where soldiers must fight because of its unique geographical location. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt is adjacent to Huanggang Macheng in the east, Xiaogan Dawu in the west, Wuhan Huangpi in the south, and Xinyang, Henan in the north.
Even if it is less than 100 kilometers away from the provincial capital Wuhan. Perhaps it is this geographical location that makes this place a revolutionary base in Hubei. There are also countless soldiers and martyrs who have walked out of here and embarked on the road of revolution.
The Jute Uprising initiated by the Red Fourth Front Army in the early years was also the first large-scale peasant armed uprising held in the north of the Yangtze River after the Nanchang Uprising and the Autumn Harvest Uprising, and its significance is self-evident.
This uprising opened the prelude to the armed struggle, the agrarian revolution, and the building of Soviet power in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui region, played a leading role in the establishment of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui revolutionary base area and the Red Fourth Front Army, and also left a glorious footprint in the history of the Chinese revolution.
Perhaps it was this circumstance that led the Nationalist Government to implement a policy of suppressing the revolution here, which was also extremely cruel. But the more this happened, the more it inspired groups of enthusiastic young people to leave their homeland and embark on the road of revolution.
Those who were in charge of suppressing the revolution could not find these revolutionary youths, so they tried to find trouble with their families. But many young people who joined the revolutionary ranks were often outside, sometimes without knowing whether they were alive or dead.
But even so, those who hoped to show their loyalty to the Nationalist government by suppressing the revolution refused to spare their families. Many people in their families participated in the revolution and were even forced to die by these people.
Now, Zhao Dahu, who serves as the magistrate of Huang'ancheng County, is the object that many people in Huang'an are afraid of. After the Red Fourth Front Army switched to war, he joined the special team formed by the Nationalist Government and became the richest 'well-known' pioneer in Huang An.
The revolutionary youth who died at his hands, as well as the families of those revolutionaries, are also countless. This ruthless massacre and clean-up policy made many people in Huang'an tremble when they heard his name.
Although He Zhengdao did not receive much information, he had read more or less information about the 'Einsatzgruppen' in Qingxiang in the Soviet District. Among them, the most seriously affected by the 'special forces' is the Dabie Mountain area, except for the southern Gan Soviet region.
In the evening, He Zhengdao took only two special combat team members and sat down in a teahouse facing the street. The reason for choosing this teahouse is also because not far from the teahouse, which is the county seat of Huang'an.
As for the county magistrate Zhao Dahu, he may know that he is guilty of a lot and has hired a large number of family guards. Even if he lived, it was also in a large mansion not far from the city defense camp. When you go out, you are protected by guards.
As for Zhao Dahu, who was awarded by the national government and promoted to the head of a county. He also knew that once the Red Army returned to Dabie Mountain, he was afraid that his good days would come to an end.
Zhao Dahu knew very well that for the evil he did back then, it was enough to shoot him ten times. Many times, even he himself feels innocent. It was not easy to become the head of a county, and Zhao Dahu, who was born as a ruffian, was naturally unwilling to die like that.
When He Zhengdao ordered people to secretly collect information about Zhao Dahu, Zhao Dahu also received reports from some of the following squires and landlords. Many of the young people who joined the Red Army have now returned to Huang'an.
Hearing this news, Zhao Dahu was naturally a little worried. Although he really wanted to lead the city defense battalion to capture these revolutionary youths who had returned to their hometowns. But he knew that now was the time of bipartisan cooperation in the war of resistance, and he could not do so.
On the other hand, Zhao Dahu, who was a little worried, still asked the person in charge of the Hubei Military Command about what should be done to deal with these people. The person in charge of the military command gave Zhao Dahu the same instructions as monitoring.
At the same time, he also informed that these young people who returned to their hometowns were all officers and soldiers of the new 67th Army of the Eighth Route Army. Most of them returned to their hometowns this time to visit relatives. If something happens to these people on his turf, there will still be trouble.
As for Zhao Dahu's worries, whether these people will seek revenge on him. The person in charge of the military command also informed Zhao Dahu that this was very reassuring. As long as he doesn't go out at will and stays in the county, the Eighth Route Army will not dare to touch him.
If the Eighth Route Army dared to find him to settle the score, it would be suspected of sabotaging the War of Resistance. For this reason, Zhao Dahu breathed a sigh of relief, and paid more attention to his own safety and security work on weekdays. The house where he lives is heavily guarded at night.
He Zhengdao, who was sitting in the teahouse drinking tea, looked at the people who passed by the street from time to time, as well as the soldiers of the city defense battalion patrolling with guns. Xiao Er, who poured water, smiled and said, "Xiao Er, I really can't imagine that you Huang Ancheng still have soldiers patrolling at night?" ”
The guest officer laughed! In the past, in addition to standing at the gate of the city to collect money, it was difficult to see them patrolling in the city. These soldiers started patrolling, and it was only half a month ago that they started.
According to our shopkeeper, this is an order given by the county lord for the defense of Jing'an City. Actually, the people of our city know about it. Those who made a revolution back then, this county is probably afraid that someone will find him to settle the score! ’
'Revolutionary? What do you mean? I'm also a first-time businessman, so I'm good to hear some stories. If you don't mind, how about you talk to me about it? Haozi, give Xiao Er a little hard-earned money. ’
He Zhengdao, who said this with a smile, glanced at Xu Hao, who was acting as a guard, and Xu Hao also simply took out a piece of fiat currency and handed it over. The shopkeeper who saw this fiat currency also smiled brightly.
Looking at the slightly empty teahouse, the shopkeeper said cautiously: "Guest officer, you should just listen to a story about this, don't spread it outside when you get there." We, the county lord, can't listen to others say bad things about him!
Although there are some things, I also heard from those guest officials who came to the teahouse to drink tea. But I am also a native of Huang'an, and I naturally know about the revolutionary party in the city a few years ago. In this city, many people participated in the revolution.
In the early years, this Huang'an City was captured by those revolutionary parties! Unfortunately, they didn't stay in the city for long and ultimately failed. The people I am talking about who made a revolution are those who walked out of Huang'an City back then.
Some time ago, I heard from a few squires who came to the city to drink tea that those important criminals who were wanted by the government back then have now gone home to visit their relatives. It's a pity that many of them haven't been back for a few years, and now they can't even find their homes when they come back.
Our county lord was a ruffian on the street back then. relied on doing things for the government and killing people, and finally became the county honor. Now that those revolutionaries have returned, they will settle accounts with him.
Some time ago, the county suddenly imposed a curfew, and let the city guards start patrolling, probably because they were afraid that the revolutionary party would enter the city to make trouble. However, it is strange to say that this county lord knew that those people were back, but he did not dare to send troops to arrest them.
If this were to be changed to before, it is estimated that he would have pulled out the city defense troops to arrest people. Every time they go out of the city, someone will suffer. Alas! For this county honor, many people in our city dare to be angry but dare not speak! ”
From the words of the shopkeeper, it is not difficult for He Zhengdao to hear that Zhao Dahu still has a lot of grievances accumulated in Huang'an. It was only his cruel methods, as well as his mastery of Huang An's military and political power, that made many people have to swallow their anger.
Now that the officers and soldiers of the advance team have returned, thinking of the unfortunate things he had done back then, Zhao Dahu was worried that his life would not be guaranteed, and it seemed to be a matter of course to strengthen the security vigilance in the county.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, He Zhengdao was also very curious and said: "Since this county lord is so domineering and unreasonable, no one cares about him?" It's not far from Wuhan, so no one goes to the province to sue him? ”
The guest officer laughed, these years the people sue the official, can anyone win? Maybe if you just sue today, you may die unexpectedly tomorrow. Over the years, it's not that no one has sued, but the people in this provincial city don't care about the life or death of our people at all.
What's more, Zhao Dahu did things for the government back then and made great contributions. It is said that in the provincial capital, he also has a relationship. The world is difficult, and sometimes patience passes. However, now that those people have returned, it is estimated that his good days are coming to an end. ’
When he said the last sentence, the shopkeeper looked around with some caution. This move made He Zhengdao somewhat able to see that this Zhao Dahu was in the county, and it seemed that he also had a lot of ears and eyes!
Just when He Zhengdao was about to continue to ask, the shouting from downstairs made the shopkeeper hurriedly bend down and say: "Guest, I'm sorry, the shopkeeper is calling, if there is no command, I will go down to greet the guests first." ”
'Alright, great work! ’
He Zhengdao, who was speaking, motioned to Xu Hao to give a piece of fiat currency. For He Zhengdao, fiat currency is not valuable. On the contrary, the ocean and gold and silver, He Zhengdao will not easily take them out for consumption, which is hard currency.
These hard currencies seized through the war, if they cost nothing, are generally escorted back to Shaanxi and handed over to the central government for disposal. After all, a large number of goods purchased from the USSR some time ago, many of which were bought with real money!
Looking at the time, He Zhengdao didn't stay in the teahouse for a long time, and walked out of the teahouse with Xu Hao. After shopping around, Xu Hao, who served as He Zhengdao's personal protection, stepped forward a few steps quickly and said, "Young shopkeeper, we have a tail behind us!" ”
'No problem! These people should all be small characters, let's move on. Find an alley and catch these two people. It's rare to visit Huang'an City, and after all, you still have to leave something.
Since this guy is so mad, even if it is not for our comrades, for the sake of this people, I will execute that guy. Sometimes, killing doesn't necessarily have to be a knife or a gun. ’
He Zhengdao, who said this, had already thought of a way to solve Zhao Dahu. As an ancient martial artist and elite instructor of special warfare in later generations, he has mastered the killing methods, and I am afraid that even He Zhengdao himself can't count them.
If you want to find a way to kill people without seeing blood, and even without making people suspicious, He Zhengdao also has countless methods. But the most important thing now is to think of a way to fish out this Zhao Dahu.
If he has been hiding in the big mansion and wants to solve the other party secretly, I am afraid it will not be easy! (To be continued.) )
