In the afternoon of the next day, Professor Wan took Shi Suo and Dafeng out of the city and ran to Wuliu Peak. Walking up the mountain road, Shi Suo remembered something and asked Professor Wan: "Aiwan Pavilion in Qingfeng Gorge, I used to remember that there were often high-ranking people gathered there to talk about some national affairs, is there still any now?" ”

"Occasionally," Professor Wan said, "Hunan has been outstanding since ancient times, with many talents, and many things have led the national trend, but since Zhang Jingyao became the governor of Hunan Province, he suppressed democracy, persecuted the people, robbed and plundered, did not let people speak out, and shot and arrested at every turn. As a result, it is much more of a snub now. ”

"These bastards."

Nearly Wuliu Peak, the scenery on both sides of the road is more and more desolate, and there is no trace of people for half a day. When he was about to reach his destination, Sun Xiaobo flashed out of the grass on the side of the road, nodded at the three of them, and observed the four outside, the mountain peaks on the left, there was silence, the grass and trees were withered and yellow after autumn, and the mountains and fields were significantly depressed. Sun Xiaobo was in front, along the path flooded with wild grass, leading them to the platform at the top of the peak, where more than a dozen middle-aged and young people in various casual clothes were sitting on the stones and talking, and when they saw the three of Professor Wan, they all stood up to say hello.

Professor Wan leaned over and sat on the stone with these people, a man in his forties with an old voice said: "Professor Wan, we have heard of you for a long time, you are a cultural person, and we are very sorry to let you come to participate in the affairs of our soldiers today. ”

"When you say this, you will see the outside," Professor Wan said heartily: "We are all in Changsha, and we are all poisoned by the Zhang brothers, so we should think in one place, work hard in one place, and strive for the right to be a human being. ”

Everyone had a good impression of Professor Wan when they saw him speak, and they sat around him, and a hoarse voice said, "Okay, Professor Wan, my surname is Zhang, let me tell you my opinion first." Since the beginning of this year, Zhang Dujun's looting and suppressing has become more and more day by day, and not only the common people, but even us who are soldiers have also suffered greatly, and this hooligan philistine, smuggling big cigarettes, deducting military salaries, stealing and robbing, is no different from bandits......

"It's not the same, he's a bandit in the first place." A young man said angrily.

Lao Zhang said: "It is precisely because he is a bandit that we find a way to oppose him and fight for a way to live, according to me, let's pick up the gun, turn against the damn, set a suitable day, and go out of Changsha, but this matter is too big, and the brothers are not consistent, let's listen to Professor Wan." ”

Professor Wan took out a box of paper cigarettes and distributed them to everyone, most of the soldiers knew how to smoke, and the smoke curled up on the mountain peak. Professor Wan said: "This time, I went to see Wu Peifu and explained the situation here in detail, originally I thought that he would respond immediately, because of the current situation of secession, every warlord is looking forward to gaining more territory for himself, and now there is an opportunity to attack Zhang Jingyao, so how can Wu Peifu let it go?" ”

"Not necessarily," Lao Zhang shook his head, "Wu Dashuai is a scheming person, he may have his own plans, this kind of person will generally think about things from a military point of view." ”

"Yes," Professor Wan nodded, "You guessed it, he attaches great importance to one thing, and that is 'timing', and he asked me to tell you a phrase called 'Accumulate energy, stand by', and say that if the time comes, he will not lie down and sleep." ”

Lao Zhang nodded silently, smoked a cigarette, and said: "His idea, for himself, is a perfect strategy, not to cause trouble, but also to be a good person, but for us, it is not a good idea, under the **** of Zhang Jingyao, no one dares to guarantee that he will live until one day, the days here are like hell, alas." As he spoke, he stood up, looked at a few hovering geese in the sky, sighed and said, "Now let's be with tigers and wolves, who doesn't want to leave Zhang Jingyao as soon as possible and live a peaceful and comfortable life." ”

Professor Wan also stood up, "Brother, I see that you are a little pessimistic, yes, now everyone is having a hard time, under the suppression of the Zhang family, be worried all day long, and always beware of misfortune, but it should also be seen that the more this is the case, the more fierce everyone's resistance will be, the work, business, and academic classes have all awakened, as long as everyone is twisted into a rope, there is no worry about big things." ”

"You're right," several young soldiers agreed with Professor Wan's words.

Lao Zhang still shook his head, "Our military class is different from their academic class, Zhang Jingyao controls it very tightly, and if there is a slight mistake, he will be killed." Many of our brothers have been killed by him. Last month, a few of them were just killed by Zhang Jingyao. ”

Professor Wan said: "Therefore, it is even more important to unite, I suggest, we should establish contact, communicate at all times, communicate with each other, and support each other if something happens, which is much stronger than you fighting alone." Besides, we can't have illusions, we must not hope that the Zhang brothers will talk about 'benevolence' or the discovery of conscience, let alone hope that with the help of Zhang Jingtang, it will be too dangerous. The essence of this kind of person is mercenary, and it cannot be changed. ”

There were two people in the crowd, with shame on their faces, and bowed their heads.

Professor Wan continued: "As for how to deal with Zhang Jingyao, as Lao Zhang just said, I agree, but what kind of anti-law, it is a big deal, and it is too reckless to shoot directly with a gun, and it is difficult to succeed if there is no backup." ”

Lao Zhang nodded with a heavy face, "This, we also know that once we fight, we are afraid that the whole army will be wiped out soon, but what can we do if we don't fight back?" ”

Professor Wan said: "We have a preliminary plan, which was discussed by all the sessions, and I suggest that you also join in this plan, so that our actions will be more extensive and more powerful, as long as we accumulate strength bit by bit, when there is an outbreak in the future, it will definitely become a flash flood and destroy all obstacles." The timing of this reversal comes from our common overall plan. ”

"Okay," Lao Zhang finally raised his spirit, "What you said makes sense, we really fought alone in the past, and in the future, we will unite with your trade union and chamber of commerce." Now that I think about it, if the junior son and a few of them had your support, they might have been able to escape. ”

The older soldier next to him said: "However, this matter must be kept secret, and the slightest leak will be a disaster." We need to discuss how to get in touch. ”

"That's nature."

Under the encouragement of Professor Wan, these soldiers gradually unified, and everyone's mood improved significantly, and they discussed the plan of joint action together, and their spirits gradually rose.

When it was dark, Professor Wan and the others came back from Wuliufeng.

When they arrived at the brick factory, it was already dark, and Professor Wan, Shi Suo, and Dafeng entered the house and found two strangers in the hut. is talking to Xiong Dadao, He Yuan and others. Xiong Dadao introduced them to everyone, saying: "These two are from my hometown of Shandong, and representatives from the Jinan merchant class have come to discuss with us about the struggle against the warlords. ”

It turned out that the mass movement in Shandong was also surging, and when he heard that the mass movement in Hunan was in full swing, he took the opportunity of someone coming to Hunan to do business and ask for experience.

"How's the situation in Shandong?" Professor Wan asked.

"It's not good, the overseer Zhang Shuyuan oppresses the good, suppresses the radical forces, and if he makes a slight disagreement, he will be afraid like a flood of beasts, and he will kill both the beast."

"This is a common feature of warlords everywhere, and it is not surprising," He Yuan said. ”

Xiong Dadao said to Professor Wan: "We have discussed it just now, and I will go to Shandong with Wang Boss and Xiao Li to recommend the practices here to them." ”

"Very good," Professor Wan agreed, "We people with lofty ideals in the whole country should unite and move in one direction and all directions in order to form a general trend, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve results by fighting separately." ”

"It's a pity," Stone Lock slapped his thigh suddenly.

"What's wrong?"

"Dafeng and I are learning martial arts with Lao Xiong, and learning to shoot with Lao Wang, and now, the two teachers are gone."

Everyone laughed at him, and at this time, Xiaofuzi ran in from outside, and He Yuan saw him sweating profusely, and hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Yes," Xiao Fuzi wiped his sweat after greeting the two guests from Shandong, and said with a mysterious face: "Lu Daya's mansion, in the past two days, it has been as if he is going to marry a daughter-in-law, it has been very lively, people come and go, Lao Zhuang felt very strange, so he sent me and A Bing to observe carefully, and as a result, guess what, it really made us see the problem." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Stone Lock urged.

"We found that there are all kinds of people who come in and out of Lufu, including the gentry of the four townships, the leaders of the militia group, the principals of several schools, the chief of education, and the owners of restaurants and shops, all kinds of things, we all wonder, what is Lu Daya going to do? Later, there were two guys, after coming out of the Lu Mansion, Ah Bing followed all the way to our restaurant, the two of them had a drink, and when they drank their tongues, their mouths were not guarded, and one said: 'Don't you think this bullshit president is a bad guy?' I'm telling you, it's a set, stick your head in it, and you'll be fooled. Is it easy to deal with the mud legs of the union peasant unions? The other said: 'What if you are not fooled?' With Master Lu behind his back, the future business may be better. Your boy will become the president, and the day of his emergence may be approaching. The first one said, 'Fart, this president, Lao Tzu gave it to you.' ’”

Xiao Fuzi learned vividly, which amused everyone, Professor Wan said: "Very good, you have observed very carefully, it seems that what the hell is Lu Daya doing, what kind of business they are talking about 'president', we have to figure it out." In particular, we must be vigilant against our trade unions and peasant unions. ”

"Well," He Yuan nodded, smoking a cigarette pouch and said, "I have to figure it out, they have recruited all kinds of people from all over the country, and what kind of 'president' they are engaged in, neither marrying a daughter-in-law, nor playing around, there is a conspiracy here." ”
