said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, Chen Zikun and Mu Yichen Che Qiuling teased a few words, and then went downstairs, got in the car and went straight to Longhua.

Longhua Yuansonghu Protector Military Embassy Office, now the Shanghai Garrison Headquarters, today is heavily guarded, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, the rifle is on the bayonet, Chen Zikun quickly came to the conference room, and found that it was already full of people, just waiting for himself.

didn't have time to change into a military uniform, Chen Zikun was wearing a suit, which was a little embarrassing on this occasion, but there were also some people in civilian clothes in the conference room, which was not too abrupt, and it was surprising that Li Yaoting was actually here, as well as Xue Bin, the president of the Shanghai Three Guns Association and the chief captain of the anti-smoking law enforcement corps.

Chen Zikun suddenly felt unhappy, Xue Bin was a descendant of the Jiangdong Army, how could Lao Jiang transfer him to a meeting without his consent, and went straight to the vacant seat next to Xue Bin and Li Yaoting and sat down, Bai Chongxi, who was dressed in military uniform, came to the stage and said: "Now please ask Commander-in-Chief Jiang to speak." ”

Chiang Kai-shek came to the stage amid applause and said bitterly: "Comrades, now our party has reached the most dangerous moment! ”

Everyone didn't say a word, quietly listening to him, and the Fenghua accent echoed in the conference room.

On the 6th of this month, Zhang Zuolin searched the Soviet Embassy in Beijing, arrested a large number of red elements, and found a large number of instructions, instructions, subversive materials, and ammunition sent by the Comintern. One of the instructions stated that "all means must be devised to excite the masses of the people to exclude foreigners" and that "even looting and most massacres may be carried out by any means". ”

Speaking of this, Chiang Kai-shek slammed the table, shaking the water in the teacup and splashing out, "Niang Xipi!" Nanjing's violent xenophobia is their ghost! They want to provoke the great powers to clash with us in order to reap the benefits......"

Chen Zikun finally understood that Chiang Kai-shek was about to make a move.

After the meeting, Xue Bin took an opportunity and said to Chen Zikun: "Marshal, Chiang Kai-shek gave me this." "I took out a banker's ticket, and the denomination was 200,000 taels of silver.

Chen Zikun sneered, Lao Jiang is quite big, so he began to buy his own team.

"Dog, I thought that two stinky money could buy Lao Tzu." Xue Bin disdainfully flicked the banker's ticket.

Chen Zikun said: "The imperial court is not short of hungry soldiers, and the commander-in-chief needs the help of the brothers of the anti-smoking corps, so you can take this money and improve the lives of the brothers." ”

Xue Bin said happily: "Okay, I'll take it, and thank the brothers first." ”

Li Yaoting also came over, with a look of rubbing his hands: "This time it's enough for the boys in the union to drink a pot, and the whole Qinggang is dispatched, and I don't believe that I can't die." ”

A moment later, Chiang Kai-shek personally came to Chen Zikun and talked with him heart-to-heart, mentioning his determination to purge the party.

"Half of the counties in Hunan have peasant associations, with as many as 4.5 million members, and the peasant associations replace the military and political organs to give orders, those who go along are prosperous, those who are against them die, and everyone in the rich family is beaten into local tyrants and inferior gentry, without exception, the soldiers of our Northern Expedition Army shed blood and sacrificed abroad, but the property of the family was divided by the peasant association, and the father and brother were killed, how can the military spirit be stabilized, and how can the great cause of the Northern Expedition continue?"

"The same is true of the workers' movement in Wuhan, where the Hubei Federation of Trade Unions, with 300,000 members, often holds meetings, marches, strikes, demands for political power, and a large number of workers are coerced to participate, resulting in a blockage of goods, a lack of raw materials in factories, a serious shortage of daily necessities, soaring prices, and a collapse of the economy, all because of the Soviet Union'......s intention to seize power."

Although Chen Zikun had his own sources of intelligence, he did not know as much as Chiang Kai-shek, and he was moved by all kinds of circumstances.

"My army had just arrived in Shanghai, and the terrain was unfamiliar and it was difficult to carry out operations, so we had to rely on the forces of all sides. I borrowed your anti-smoking law enforcement corps without saying hello, don't be angry, brother. Chiang Kai-shek's tone was sincere.

Chen Zikun smiled indifferently: "What is polite between our brothers, let alone a team of soldiers, even if I am asked to carry a gun into battle, I will not hesitate." ”

Chiang Kai-shek was greatly moved: "I really deserve to be an old comrade of our party, with high party spirit and firm stand!" ”

The battle plan is top secret, only major generals and above have it, Chen Zikun received a plan, handed it to Shuangxi, put it in a briefcase, and drove away from the Longhua Garrison Headquarters.

At midnight, Tang Yan tiptoed up, walked outside in a nightdress, stood quietly for a while, let his eyes get used to the darkness, opened the briefcase on the table, took out a stack of documents from it, and by the moonlight outside the window, he could see the blue sky and white sun emblem and top secret words on the documents.

Tang Yan quickly flipped through it, frightened, quietly put back the file, turned around, and saw Chen Zikun standing at the door of the bedroom.

"I'm scared to death, why don't you have any life at all." Tang Yan stomped her foot in disgust.

Chen Zikun stepped forward, rudely kneaded the ** under Tang Yan's silk nightdress, and then picked up and walked into the bedroom.

After a strenuous exercise, Chen Zikun fell asleep, Tang Yan pushed him twice, but he didn't wake up, so he got up again, came to the living room and made a phone call, lowered his voice and said a few words to the other party, the other party seemed to hang up, Tang Yan was very unwilling to feed a few times, and then redial again, this time no one answered.

She walked back and forth in the living room in a nightdress, extremely anxious, looking at the wall clock on the wall from time to time, and at two o'clock in the morning, she finally made a decision, Xi Suosuo changed into overalls and pull back shoes, took Chen Zikun's car keys and went out quietly.

Tang Yan went out, got into Chen Zikun's car, started skillfully, stepped on the accelerator and left, the rental gate was still very smooth, the patrol even saluted the car, but was stopped by the patrol team after driving a distance in Zhabei.

"Martial law." The soldier said with a vicious voice.

Tang Yan pointed to the special pass in front of the windshield and said, "Can't you see this?" ”

"I'm sorry, no vehicles are allowed to pass without a certificate issued by the Martial Law Command, please go back." The soldier's attitude was extremely blunt, and his accent was southerner.

"Do you know who I am? I want to see your sir! "Tang Yan is well-informed, and knows that at this time, she has to be more horizontal and more imposing than anyone.

The soldier was really shocked by the woman who drove the car with a military license plate, and asked his commander to negotiate, the officer was also a Liangguang person, looked at the license plate number, and still said with a cold face: "Who are you?" ”

"I'm his wife, and I have an urgent need to go back at home." Tang Yan had an idea and lied.

"No way!" The officer directly refused, "During the special period, even if the ** chief comes in person, he can't pass." ”

"You dare to stop me!" Tang Yan was about to go crazy, looking at her watch, it was already three o'clock, she bit her silver teeth, started the car and was about to break through, and immediately more than a dozen rifles aimed at her.

Suddenly, a red signal flare appeared in the sky, and in less than five minutes, more than ten trucks galloped out from the direction of the concession, and the cars were full of fierce men, dressed in different colors, but they all wore white cloth armbands on their arms, and a big word "work" was written on them in black ink, and in their hands they were either iron rulers, machetes, or big sticks and spears, and many people were holding rifles and pistols.

The truck roared by, the patrol team did not stop it at all, looking at the hideous faces on the car, Tang Yan let out a long sigh, turned the car and went back.

……

At four o'clock in the morning, the dense gunfire woke Chen Zikun from his sleep, the gunshots came from all directions, but the distance was very far, it should not be in the concession, Chen Zikun of course knew what was going on, turned over and continued to sleep, but Tang Yan was terrified, pushed him and said: "Da Ling, what's the matter?" ”

"The army wants to give the guns of the workers' pickets." Chan said.

"Wouldn't that kill a lot of people?" Tang Yan said, inside the collar of the pajamas, the spring is infinite.

"Dead people are always inevitable, go to sleep, it's okay." Chen Zikun patted Tang Yan's face.

Tang Yan buried her head in Chen Zikun's chest, and tears flowed down her eyes.

"What are you crying about?"

"It's going to be war again, I'm worried about you."

"Don't worry, it's just a disarming operation, the regular army is very easy to deal with the workers, well-behaved, don't cry." Chen Zikun wiped Tang Yan's tears, but she cried even more sadly.

After dawn, Tang Yan hurriedly left, saying that she was going to cover the news, Chen Zikun was worried that she was in danger, so he sent Shuangxi to accompany her to protect her, and lent her his special car.

With the escort of the army, no one stopped her this time, and she came to the headquarters of the workers' picket team of the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions smoothly, Tang Yan had been here many times for interviews, but the scene in front of her made her unbelievable, yesterday it was still a trade union organ with people coming and going, but now it has become a Shura hell, there are corpses and blood everywhere, the ground is yellow, orange and orange bullet casings, and the walls are traces of grenades and dense bullet holes, and there is clearly a desperate battle here.

With tears in her eyes, Tang Yan walked to a desk, where a young man died at the table, his head was cut open by an iron ruler, blood was coagulated all over the ground, and he was still holding a microphone in his hand.

"Why don't you believe me...... Rest in peace," Tang Yan thought silently in her heart, raised her head to prevent tears from flowing, and a bloodstained pennant was hung high, embroidered with four big characters "Struggle together", and the payment was given by Jiang Zhongzheng.

……

The following day, Shanghai was enveloped in terror, with arrests and massacres everywhere, and workers marched in the rain to protest to the garrison demanding the release of the arrested workers and the return of their confiscated firearms, only to be shot by the army, bleeding and killing and wounding countless people.

Newspapers headlined with shocking words such as "workers' infighting," "martial law in the army," and "purging the party by force," as well as photos of the army patrolling the streets and the arrests of workers.

Two days later, news came from Guangzhou that the Kuomintang had wantonly purged the party, arrested more than 2,000 people, and closed down trade unions and peasant unions.

The NC-4 seaplane imported by Springfield & Co. from the American Curtis Company arrived, and Chen Zikun personally went to test the flight, the plane flew over Zhabei, thick smoke billowed below, sandbags and machine guns were piled up in the middle of the street, human heads were hung on telephone poles, riots were everywhere, troops were everywhere, gunshots, screams, and sirens rang out one after another.

Chen Zikun was very happy, hastily ended the test flight, returned to Tang Yan's residence in the concession, the car lent to Tang Yan was still parked at the door, Chen Zikun touched the hood, it was hot, it seemed that Tang Yan had just come back.

When he entered the room, he found several strange men sitting in the living room, staring at him vigilantly, and a young man also put his hand on his waist.

Chen Zikun remained silent: "Tang Yan, don't say a word when guests come to the house, I'll buy a pack of cigarettes, you greet them first." ”

"Stand still." The young man shouted in a low voice, the outline of the barrel of the gun raised under his clothes, and aimed at Chen Zikun.
