At the banquet of the 70th birthday of the day, Long Yelong donated the "golden jade clothes" to the Danjiang anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment. After the birthday banquet, Long Ye Long Zaitian and his wife Jiang Cuilian and Qin Keqing, as well as Long Tianen and Long Tianci were busy with Zhang Luo and did a lot of happy events.

First of all, Long Ye and his wife Jiang Cuilian and Qin Keqing, on November 6, 1945, the second day of the tenth month of Yiyou, held a grand wedding for their youngest son Long Tiangang and An Zaiqi (Zhao Meiqi), who should have been married for a long time - until now, Long Ye and Qin Keqing did not know that this An Zaiqi was actually called Zhao Meiqi, the granddaughter of Zhao Shuxian's cousin Zhao Tong; was instructed by Zhao Shuxian to be an "undercover spy". But due to the passage of time, Zhao Shuxian, Zhao Tong, and others are no longer alive, and the "golden jade clothes" have also been donated. Besides, Zhao Meiqi, a girl, is really good. Therefore, Long Ye and Qin Keqing also adhered to the concepts of "grievances should be resolved rather than settled" and "buy pigs not circles", abandoned their previous suspicions and accepted Zhao Meiqi.

Long Ye Long Zaitian has a special love for his smart and handsome youngest son Long Tiangang - after Long Tiangang and Zhao Meiqi got married, Long Ye assigned the "Yi Ya Ju" that had already been recovered (after Zhao Shuxian's death) to Long Tiangang and Zhao Meiqi to live in - this property was also obtained by the Zhao family. But Long Ye clearly ordered: Zhao Meiqi's mother Dou Guxiang and Jin Su and Jin Lingzhi are not allowed to stay in "Yiyaju".

Immediately afterwards, Long Ye and his wife Jiang Cuilian and Qin Keqing found a female colleague Su Zhen from the same unit as his wife for Long Tianwei, the eldest who worked in the tax bureau.

After their own affairs were done, Long Ye and Long Tianci immediately sent someone to find Lan Xinmei, who had "made meritorious contributions" in the "poppy case", from the countryside and married Liu Kefan, who was not too old, to start a family. Then he found a partner for Long Tianen's housekeeper Liu Huadong and Long Ye's housekeeper Ji Gaoyang, and held a grand wedding.

Immediately afterwards, Long Ye, Jiang Cuilian, and Qin Keqing attacked Ying Zuo and a man, and married Lu Xiaofeng, the kitchen girl of Longfu, to him as his wife. Kazuo Kagesa has long liked Lu Xiaofeng; Lu Xiaofeng also originally liked the "Eighth Route Army Soldier" Shadow Zuo Yinan. Later, I heard that Kazuo Kagesa was a Japanese devil; Lu Xiaofeng's heart was cold. Later, I heard that Kazuo Kazuo was a good person among the Japanese devils, and he also got back the "golden jade clothes" for the dragon master; Only then did he turn hatred into joy, but it was just difficult to express it for a while. Today, Long Ye, Jiang Cuilian, and Qin Keqing personally pulled the red line, and bought a house not far from the Dragon Mansion for them as a new house. Lu Xiaofeng and Kazumi Shadow were both overjoyed; After repeatedly thanking the great benevolence, I went to the new house to serve the joy of flying together! Of course, there are still a lot of things that need to be run in this kind of exotic relationship.

The matter of Kazuo Kazuo and Lu Xiaofeng is done! Long Ye, Jiang Cuilian, and Qin Keqing still have one more thing that they can't rest assured, and that is Miko Kazugawa, the younger sister of Kazuo Kagesa.

Miko Kagesagawa who stayed in China with her brother Kazuo Kagesagawa, although she is a girl who has not left the cabinet, is no longer a yellow flower girl (she has been a comfort woman in the Japanese "Officers' Club"), and she is not too old! It's time to find her a home! After pondering and meditating, Long Ye and the two ladies suddenly thought that the chef Li Qingquan had not renewed the strings after being widowed the year before, so it was better to fill the room for Li Qingquan with Miko Kagesagawa . Long Ye asked Jiang Cuilian and Qin Keqing to communicate with both parties. Unexpectedly, it would be enough to talk about it--Li Qingquan and Miko Kagesagawa both agreed wholeheartedly--Master Long rewarded 200 oceans, gave Li Qingquan 20 days off, and went back to do happy events.

Nanlong Mansion and Beilong Mansion have done so many happy events at once, and they have been really lively for a while - the continuous sky-high joy has dispelled all the bad luck for many years; The Hehelong family is even more prosperous!

After Long Tiangang and Zhao Meiqi lived in "Yi Yaju" lovingly, they discussed with their beloved wife Zhao Meiqi about finding a job.

"Maggie! As the saying goes: 'Start a family'. Now that we're married, we don't have a job yet, so we can't always let our dad keep us! ”

"Yes! Although your family is rich, as a man, you should still have your own career as well. Zhao Meiqi agreed with Long Tiangang's idea.

"So what do you think I'm going to do?"

"Whatever you want! It is your freedom to do what you like; What I like you to do is your happiness -- whether you inherit your father's business and open a pharmacy, or become a sitting doctor, in short, whatever you are interested in, do whatever you want, and you must not force yourself. ”

"Actually, I'm not very interested in either of them."

"And what are you interested in?" Zhao Meiqi asked with a smile.

As early as 23 April to 11 June this year, when the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in Yan'an, Chairman Mao of the Communist Army made important reports such as "On the Coalition Government."

The Sixth National Congress of the Chinese Kuomintang (KMT) was held in Chongqing from 5 to 20 May this year, at which it categorically rejected the CPC's proposal to establish a democratic coalition government and accused the CCP of "armed secession, sabotage the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression," and "subverting the government and endangering the country." This congress was in essence a congress to prepare for the all-out confrontation of the Chinese Communist Party after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

On 11 August this year, Chiang Kai-shek issued three orders in succession: 1. Commander-in-Chief Zhu De was ordered that "all units of the group army should be stationed in the same place and stand by" and that they should not "act without authorization" against the enemy; 2. Order the puppet army to be "responsible for maintaining" local law and order and resist the surrender of the people's armed forces; 3. Order his troops to "intensify operations" and "actively advance without slackening." All these signs indicate that Chiang Kai-shek wants to monopolize the fruits of the victory of the Chinese people's eight-year war of resistance.

"Now that Japan has really surrendered, I estimate that the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is inevitable!"

"What are you talking about all this political stuff?" Zhao Meiqi didn't understand why Long Tiangang talked about the affairs of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party; And from the depth of Long Tiangang's conversation, she has seen that Long Tiangang seems to have been thinking about this aspect for a long time.

"The Qing Dynasty writer Wu Zhaoren said: 'The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband' (this sentence is not Gu Yanwu's cloud). What I mean by these words is that I want to join the revolutionary ranks, do things that are beneficial to the people of the society, and make a little contribution to the reunification of the motherland. Long Tiangang said solemnly.

"You want to join the revolutionary ranks? That contingent is a revolutionary contingent? The Kuomintang said that the Communist Party was **, and the Communist Party, in turn, said that the Kuomintang was Chiang's gang. In the political context, they are either smearing themselves or slandering each other in every possible way, and they are attacking each other. Now that the KMT and the CCP are in their own hands, who can you trust? ”

"Of course I believe in the Communist Party! Although I don't know much about the past affairs of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, I have never heard or seen Chairman Mao's report "On the Coalition Government"; However, judging from the concept of 'coalition government' put forward by Chairman Mao, this guiding ideology, it is completely different from Chiang Kai-shek's ** and the world. Moreover, I heard that the Communist Party talks about democracy and freedom; The Kuomintang, on the other hand, restricts democracy and deprives the people of their freedom. Therefore, I believe that the Communist Party of China is a promising party, and the ranks of the Communist Party are revolutionary ranks that deserve to be participated in and should be joined. ”

"Tiangang! This is an important event in your life, and I hope you will consider it carefully, recognize the situation, think twice, stop and take three steps, and do not act rashly. Zhao Meiqi was afraid that her husband would take the wrong path.

"Hmmm! This is really not to be done lightly. Long Tiangang said meaningfully.

After the New Year of Bingshu, after getting the approval of his father Long Zaitian, and under the guidance and help of Secretary Qiu Fenghan (after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Comrade Qiu Fenghan had been promoted to secretary of the Jiangzhou Municipal Party Committee, but still belonged to the "underground"), he resolutely decided to join the Jiangzhou Independent Regiment (the 72nd Division of the 31st Army of the 10th Column of Huaye).

Because of the relationship between Qiu Fenghan and Long Zaitian, Xu Mai, the head of the Jiangzhou Independent Regiment, arranged Long Tiangang to serve as a clerk in the regiment headquarters; And give three days off, go home and arrange everything to come to work.

In 1946, the land of China was turbulent. Although Chiang Kai-shek sent a telegram on August 14, 1945, asking Chairman Mao to go to Chongqing to discuss "various important international and domestic issues". Although Chiang Kai-shek's representatives Wang Shijie, Zhang Qun, Zhang Zhizhong, and Shao Lizi and Chairman Mao's representatives Zhou Enlai and Wang Ruofei signed the "Minutes of the Talks between the Representatives of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party" (i.e., the Double Tenth Agreement) in the living room of Zhang Zhizhong's house in Chongqing on October 10, 1945. However, Chiang Kai-shek secretly issued an order to the Kuomintang troops on October 13, 1945, to launch a large-scale attack on the liberated areas.

In December 1945, US envoys Marshall, Zhang Qun, and Zhou Enlai formed a three-member team to mediate the "military conflict between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party."

On 10 January 1946, representatives of both sides reached and issued an armistice decree that came into effect at midnight on 13 January. However, Chiang Kai-shek, while issuing an armistice order, secretly ordered his troops to quickly "seize strategic points."

From 10 to 31 January 1946, the CPPCC meeting, attended by the Kuomintang, the Communist Party, and other organizations, adopted a program for peaceful nation-building...... Denial of the Kuomintang**.

From March 1 to 17, 1946, Chiang Kai-shek held a meeting to overturn the CPPCC resolution.

On May 5, 1946, the Nationalist Government returned its capital to Nanjing.

On 26 June 1946, the Kuomintang reactionaries brazenly tore up the armistice agreement and the CPPCC resolution, laid siege to the Central Plains Liberated Areas, and launched an all-out attack on the Liberated Areas.

Jiangzhou is a nationally controlled region, and after Qi Lianyue, commander of the Jiangzhou Garrison Command, was demoted in an accident, the post of commander was held by Qin Boxiong, a confidant of Gu Xijiu, commander-in-chief of the 123rd Group Army.

Qin Boxiong, commander of the Jiangzhou garrison, was eyeing the Jiangzhou Independent Regiment and was picking provocations and frictions from time to time, and the situation was very tense.

For a rainy day. Xu Mai, commander of the Jiangzhou Independent Regiment, and Ben Teng, political commissar of the regiment, held an emergency meeting to discuss and study the operational plan for resisting a possible attack by the Jiangzhou garrison and then waiting for an opportunity to destroy the enemy's vital forces.

At the meeting, in addition to raising vigilance, strengthening unity, strengthening training, strengthening fortifications, arranging three lines of defense and setting up peripheral minefields, stockpiling enough food and grass, spying on the enemy's situation, and waiting for an opportunity to destroy the enemy. Comrade Ben Teng, political commissar of the regiment, also put forward a plan to unite with the leopard in the snow of the "Tiandaotang" -- political commissar Ben Teng held that the personnel of the "Tiandaotang" are, in the final analysis, still class brothers and toiling people. They have done some bad things, but they have also done some good things, and in their own words, sometimes "do the right thing for heaven." win over the more than 2,000 poor people of the leopards in the snow, let them stand on our side, and then train and reform them later; This is good for them, for society, and for the revolution. If we don't pull them over, we are likely to be drawn by the enemy, and this reversal is of extraordinary significance.

Head Xu Mai thought that what Political Commissar Ben Teng said was very true, so he further studied how to unite with the snow leopard in a specific plan.

Because the leopard's subordinates Cao Shanchong and Miyano Chang once attacked "Santang Bay" because of the "golden jade clothes", they were wrapped in the middle like dumplings by the Jiangzhou Independent Regiment. If it weren't for Commander Xu Mai's order to "surround but not annihilate", Cao Shanchong and Miyano Chang's men and horses would have suffered the fate of annihilation.

Although the Jiangzhou Independent Regiment did not annihilate Cao Shanchong and Miyano Chang's men, it captured all the guns and ammunition of Cao Shanchong and Miyano Chang, and killed thirteen people at the beginning. But while admitting that he was unlucky, the leopard in the snow did not feel the great kindness of the head of Xu Mai who only surrendered the gun and did not kill people, but on the contrary, confiscated so many weapons from the soldiers of the independent regiment and killed his thirteen brothers and became angry with the leopard in the snow and the unity of Jiangzhou independence from then on.

It will not be easy to reconcile with the vengeful leopards in the snow and pull them over to the side of the people. After repeated discussions and studies, it was finally decided to invite Inspector Qiu Fenghan (secretary of the Jiangzhou Municipal Party Committee), who had dealt with the leopard in the snow for Long Zaitian's pursuit of the "golden jade clothes", to personally visit the "Tiandao Hall".

Head Xu Mai made a special trip to a private detective office to visit Secretary Qiu Fenghan (because the patrol room had been completely banned, Qiu Fenghan opened a private detective office to cover up as a private detective. Therefore, people still habitually call Qiu Fenghan Inspector Qiu), and reported to Qiu Fenghan the plan made by the regiment headquarters meeting to unite the "Tiandaotang" snow leopard; He also implored Secretary Qiu to take the time to go to the "Tiandao Hall" to meet with the snow leopard, and mobilize the snow leopard to stand on the side of the people and jointly attack and eliminate the Kuomintang Jiangzhou garrison. Secretary Qiu Fenghan readily agreed.

The next day, Secretary Qiu Fenghan took his assistants Zhang Zhang and Huang Haomin to the "Golden Triangle" Tiandao Hall in the southwest of Jiangzhou City. Seeing that it was the famous Inspector Qiu Fenghan who came in person, the leopard in the snow hurriedly greeted him.

"Inspector Qiu! After a few months, I don't know how everything has been going on lately? ”

"Good! Excellent! How is the Snow Hall Master doing recently? ”

"Inspector Qiu's blessing, the contemptible person is still healthy. Inspector Qiu! Coming to the cottage today, I don't know what to see? ”

"I didn't see the sect, I just came to see the Snow Hall Master, and by the way, I would like to talk about something."

"What does Inspector Qiu have to say?"

"Snow Hall Master! Chiang Kai-shek was an autocratic dictatorship, perverse, repeatedly provoked civil wars, and tried in vain to dominate China; This is something that the people of the whole country will never allow! ”

"Inspector Qiu is engaged in detective work, why are you talking about these things? I've never had anything to do with any political party. ”

"Snow Hall Master! The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband. None of us Chinese can watch the Kuomintang reactionaries monopolize the fruits of our bloody victory! ”

"Inspector Qiu! With all due respect, in the next grass, the grass people have always cared about this party or that party; All I am concerned about is that my more than 2,000 brothers should have something to eat. ”

"Snow Hall Master! Under the nest, Ann has finished eggs? The country was seized by Chiang Kai-shek, and your more than 2,000 brothers can still be so free? ”

"This ...... Chiang Kai-shek will attack us after seizing the country? ”

"Of course! Chiang Kai-shek has always been the enemy of the people and bloodily suppressed the people. Leaving aside the distractions, let's just say that on December 1 last year (1945), an anti-civil war movement broke out in the Kunming market, mainly among students, and the Kuomintang authorities in Kunming dispatched a large number of military and police agents to forcefully suppress and massacre and beat the teachers and students who went on strike, wounding more than 20 people and killing four people. Besides, Chiang Kai-shek has repeatedly encircled and suppressed those Communists who seek happiness for the toiling masses, and how many of you who endanger the people will be spared? ”

"That'...... So what should we do? "The leopard in the snow was a little stunned by Qiu Fenghan's words!

"In my opinion, you should unite with the Jiangzhou Independent Regiment to jointly deal with the Jiangzhou garrison of Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang."

"You want me to unite with the people of the Jiangzhou Independent Regiment? I can't do that! ”

"Why?"

"Why? for they had slain thirteen of my brethren, and had captured so many of our short guns, long guns, submachine guns, machine guns, ten grenadiers, and two mortars; I'll never forget it. ”

"Is it the Jiangzhou Independent Regiment that came to attack you? Why do they fight against you? Qiu Fenghan "asked knowingly".

"Yes......" the leopard in the snow snorted unspeakably.

"I guess they didn't attack you!"

"Inspector Qiu! Don't say more! We are inseparable from the Jiangzhou Independent Regiment and will never unite with them. Besides, we have no grudges with the Jiangzhou Garrison Force, and we have always been well water and do not interfere with river water, so why should we work with the Jiangzhou Independent Regiment to deal with the Jiangzhou Garrison Force? Inspector Qiu, please come back! The second hall master Cao Shanchong said unceremoniously.

"Master Xue, I think Inspector Qiu's opinion can be adopted. As the saying goes: 'It is difficult to speak alone, and it is difficult to support alone', if we unite with the Jiangzhou Independent Regiment, then no one will dare to bully us. "Zhu Wenjun, the head of the three halls, expressed his willingness to unite with the Jiangzhou Independent Regiment.

"Three Hall Masters, what do you mean? Last time, the Jiangzhou Independent Regiment killed so many of our brothers and stole so many weapons, have you forgotten this hatred? Why do you still want to unite with them? Isn't this a dance with wolves, with tigers? What kind of heart are you at peace with? As soon as the fourth hall master Miyano Chang heard Zhu Wenjun speak, he was furious as soon as he heard Zhu Wenjun's opposition to Cao Shanchong.

"That's it! Brethren, stop arguing! What Inspector Qiu said is a big deal, so let me discuss it with Master Han and the brothers. The leopard in the snow did not agree to Qiu Fenghan's suggestion, nor did he say no words - he wanted to think about it in the long run.

"Alright! I hope that the master of the Snow Hall will make a decision as soon as possible, and I will come back in a few days to listen to the letter. Qiu Fenghan also knew in his heart that for such a big event, the snow leopard would not agree all at once. And he also knew that the personnel of the snow leopard were complicated, so he didn't want to finish the battle, so he had to talk about it in a few days.

"It's rare for Inspector Qiu to come to the cottage once, since I'm here today, I'll get a few side dishes, let's have a drunk party, okay?" Leopards in the snow warmly invited.

"No! No! I still have some cases in hand, so I won't accompany the Snow Hall Master today, when will I invite you to the Crown Hotel to gather. Qiu Fenghan said and got up to say goodbye.

"Good! When will I invite Inspector Qiu to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant for a drink! The leopard in the snow got up and sent it off.

Qiu Fenghan and his assistants Zhang Li and Huang Haomin left the "Tiandaotang" and went straight to the "Santangwan" Jiangzhou Independent Regiment, where they exchanged information with the regiment commander Xu Mai and the regiment's political commissar Ben Teng, and said that he would go to work with the leopard in the snow every few days. In addition, Secretary Qiu Fenghan put forward a strategic suggestion -- send a vigilant officer to penetrate the Jiangzhou Garrison Headquarters and grasp the enemy's movements in a timely manner, so as to effectively prevent and strike at the enemy. In addition, if the alliance with the "Tiandao Hall" Snow Leopard is successful, a capable person will be sent to the "Tiandao Hall" to be stationed in the "Tiandao Hall" to grasp the situation in a timely manner. Head Xu Mai and Political Commissar Ben Teng unanimously agreed with these two suggestions.

Before the matter of uniting the "Tiandaotang" was completed, Secretary Qiu Fenghan, head Xu Mai, and political commissar Ben Teng first considered the candidates to go to the Jiangzhou Garrison Headquarters. Who to send to the Jiangzhou Garrison Command? Several people discussed and weighed it again and again, and decided to let Long Tiangang, who was new and not officially at work, and was not very familiar with people, and had culture and ability, enter the Jiangzhou Garrison Command.

Secretary Qiu Fenghan and Head Xu Mai talked to Long Qiang Tiangang together and explained the decision to let him enter the Jiangzhou Garrison Command; discussed and studied the possible situation and matters that must be paid attention to when entering the Jiangzhou Garrison Command; and how to carry out the work. Long Tiangang said that he must live up to the expectations of the leader, be cautious, calm and witty, brave and decisive, and strive to best complete the tasks assigned to him by the leader.

In order to ensure Long Tiangang's safety, of course, it is also the need for confidentiality, Secretary Qiu Fenghan and head Xu Mai decided that Long Tiangang's code name is "Goshawk", and he usually only has one-line contact with Han Bing, the owner of "Qingming Teahouse".

After more than a month of preparation and assault study, Long Tiangang left the Jiangzhou Independent Regiment.

Long Tiangang arrived at the entrance of the Jiangzhou Garrison Headquarters and told the soldiers standing guard that he was looking for a military doctor, He Fei. The soldiers standing guard at the gate immediately contacted the military hospital, and He Fei came out soon!

He Fei saw that he was his cousin Long Tiangang, who he hadn't seen for a long time, so he hurriedly pulled Long Tiangang to make love, and then led Long Tiangang to his dormitory.

"Hey! It's really interesting, I had a nephew here a few days ago, and today I have a little cousin. ”

"You had a nephew here a few days ago? Is it Longjing? Long Tiangang and Zhao Meiqi live in "Yi Yaju", and they have only heard about their nephew Long Jing's joining the army.

"You guessed it! It's Longjing. ”

"Why did he come here too?"

Long Jing said that he was classmates with Liang Tianyi, the daughter of Liu Linfeng and Liang Shanzhou, and they got along very well for more than ten years. Because both families did not agree, Long Jing and Liang Tianyi decided to defect to the Jiangzhou Garrison Command. Probably Liang Tianyi was detained by his family and did not come, so Long Jing came first. ”

"Oh! I see! So where did you put Longjing? ”

"I arranged Long Jing to be a confidential officer in the Confidential Section of the Garrison Headquarters."

"Oops! Long Jing is doing a good job! When Long Tiangang heard that Long Jing was arranged to be a confidential officer in the Confidential Section of the Garrison Headquarters, he was overjoyed: This is a key department! If only I could get in! Actually, it doesn't matter, as long as you are in the same headquarters, as long as Long Jing is there, things will be easy to do in the future.

"Whoa! Cousin! How did you come up with me? ”

"I've been living in 'Yi Yaju' and don't want to work in the pharmacy, so I want to get a job in the barracks, and I hope my cousin will help." Long Tiangang told the reason that had been made up a long time ago.

"And what do you want to do?"

"As long as I can have an errand to do, how can I pick and choose the fat and the thin? Just arrange it with your cousin! Long Tiangang said humbly.

"I've heard for a long time that my cousin is the dragon and phoenix among people, how can I arrange it casually? So be it! I'll find a way to get you a job next to the Commander, and it's not in vain that you're full of learning. ”

"Then there's Cousin Lao to bother!" Long Tiangang was secretly happy in his heart.

"It's all my own brothers, so I don't bother to say anything."

He Fei is a lieutenant and military doctor in the Jiangzhou garrison, and people up and down are familiar with him; He heard that Commander Qin Boxiong was not very satisfied with the current adjutant, so he asked Chief of Staff Zheng Bonong to be a lobbyist and recommended his cousin and talented son Long Tiangang to take this position.

Zheng Bonong, the chief of staff, was entrusted by others and was loyal to people; Soon the communication with Commander Qin Boxiong was successful-Long Tiangang went to the headquarters to serve as Commander Qin's adjutant very smoothly.

After Long Jing and Long Tiangang's work settled down, He Fei took advantage of a holiday to invite his uncle and nephew to the hotel to get together and talk about family and state affairs. Of course, it was impossible for Long Tiangang to tell Long Jing and He Fei his true identity.
