On the afternoon of the third day, after Wang Qiu and other future time-travelers and Pastor Hu and other underground parties of this time and space had successfully withdrawn from the secret stronghold of the small church in the southern suburbs of Shanghai, dozens of heavily armed agents of the Blue Coat Society and the Shanghai Special City Police belatedly broke into the place where the building had long been empty.

-- In an era when there was no camera surveillance system, no invention of mobile phones and the Internet, and no even widespread public telephones, the so-called secret services, especially the loose and chaotic rookie secret services like the Blue Coat Society, had only such operational efficiency.

In fact, when they were evacuating the church, Wang Qiu and others were angry and wanted to install several extra-large trigger bombs in the chapel, so that the Kuomintang spies who came to arrest them could enjoy the pleasure of riding on "dirt planes." Thanks to Pastor Hu, who was very affectionate about this church that he had worked so hard to build, he hurriedly dissuaded him, saying that it was better to keep a low profile in order to avoid attracting more attention from the Kuomintang authorities......

Moreover, what if it was not the Kuomintang spies or the police who broke in first, but the Christian believers in the nearby villages who often listened to Pastor Hu's sermons?

Therefore, when these agents and police searched the entire church and found nothing, they could only curse and put a seal on the door of the church, and turned to leave, but they did not know that they had really just walked next to the ghost gate......

At the same time, the traversers and underground party members who escaped from Shanghai Beach had already stepped into the territory of Zhejiang Province in the south.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

More than ten days later, the northwest of Zhejiang ##昌化县

The dark red afterglow of the setting sun. Skimming over the sparkling Changhua Creek, leaving a glimmer of light on the top of Wulong Mountain in the distance. The gorgeous and magnificent sunset covers most of the sky. This small town in the south of the Yangtze River, which is less than 100 kilometers away from the provincial capital Hangzhou, has been dyed with a bright color.

A faint thin smoke shrouded the sky over the town, and the simple buildings with white walls and black tiles were like undressed drooping girls, standing gracefully on the riverside. The pale inky sky and the jagged stone arch bridges blend together, with the slightest ripple. In the hazy twilight, a small boat floats aimlessly on the river. It's like a drop of ink slowly penetrating the rice paper, slowly becoming blurred, leaving only a full light ink color.

This is the Jiangnan water town in the Republic of China era. The classical temperament has not faded, and the modern style has been interpreted. Everything is so classic and fresh...... In this twilight haze, it is like a roll of old black and white tape, slowly unfurled from the traveler's eyes......

Wang Qiu was wearing a long shirt + scarf in the Republic of China student uniform. Carrying a coarse cloth wrap. Standing at the head of the bridge with Jin Qina and looking at the dusk scenery of the town, I felt like I had stepped into a novel written by Lu Xun - well, the distance between Lin'an and Shaoxing is indeed a little far, one on the south bank of the Qiantang River, and the other on the north bank of the Qiantang River. But if it is placed in the modern shijie, that is, the car drives along the highway for half a day.

On the other hand, after stripping away the poetry concocted by those literati. The so-called Jiangnan town is just a small remote place. And it's also a small place that looks very "rustic".

A bluestone road that is not wide. Stretching beneath his feet, one stone next to another, all not of regular shape, was polished into strips of arbitrary length and width as he pleased, unevenly in order. The strong smell of pickled vegetables fills the streets, as well as the feces and urine of chickens, ducks, and humans and animals...... Wang Qiu frowned, carefully bypassed the stains all over the street, turned into an alley, and finally got into a small mansion.

The house is not dilapidated, but it is mossy and mottled. The yard in front of the house is very clean, and a small piece of land has been reclaimed behind the house, and the small vegetable seedlings are lush and green. There are two large water tanks at the door, filled with water, which are usually found in any large mansion and are used for fire prevention. The kitchen is small, but there are a lot of sauced duck, bacon and smoked fish hanging in it, and it is very clean.

Overall, with the standard of living in the small town of Changhua, the conditions of this courtyard are already very good.

However, in the eyes of the new tenants who have seen the "great world" of Shanghai, this place is really very simple, with a taste of the countryside.

“…… Comrade Xiao Wang, how is the situation outside? Can we spend our money here? ”

Seeing Wang Qiu and Jin Qina coming in with a few bags of things, Professor Yang, who was sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun, immediately asked.

“…… Enough choke! The shops in this small place only accept the silver dollar, and no one will accept our yen, dollar, pound sterling and franc banknotes. If you want to exchange it, at least you can get Lin'an County. As for the bills of the Central Bank of the National Government, they can barely be spent, but they have to be discounted by 20 percent......"

Wang Qiu muttered and complained, and at the same time, on a bluestone slab for laundry, spread out the coarse cloth package in his hand, "...... Even if the money can be spent, there are not many good things to buy in a small place like Changhua. There are only three grocery stores and two silk shops on the entire street, as well as a few small trading houses that buy mountain goods. I picked and searched for a long time, and I only bought these Changhua bloodstones back...... When I paid the bill with all the banknotes instead of Yinyang, the shopkeeper was still unhappy, and insisted on cashing the banknotes at a 20% discount, and charged me an extra 20 yuan......

-- During the Republic of China, China was the country with the largest variety of banknotes issued in the entire shijie at that time, and there were more than 3,000 official banknotes issued legally! The general categories include military bills, customs bills, gold dollar bills, silver dollar bills, copper dollar bills, legal tender, commercial banks, special bank bills, local currency and token bills issued by local financial institutions in various provinces, as well as Red Army bills and border area bills issued by red base areas, and so on. In addition, you can also count the old Taiwan dollar, the old Hong Kong dollar, and the old Australian dollar issued by foreign colonists......

Due to the rise and fall of various political regimes and the volatile political situation in the whole country throughout the Republic of China era, the circulation time of any kind of banknote is very short, and the circulation range is also very small, and it generally has to be used at a discount - for example, the meaning of 80% off cashing means that a 100 yuan banknote can only be used as 80 yuan silver...... That's pretty reputable. Banknotes issued by the warlords in Sichuan. Usually, if you can cash it out at 50%, it's time to burn high incense.

By the same token, most banknotes are also limited in their use. It's like the banknotes of the Northwest Bank of Sichuan, once out of Sichuan. To be exact, after leaving the defense area of the Sichuan warlord Tian Songyao, it became a piece of waste paper. And the banknotes issued by Chairman Chiang are not playable in many places. Especially in some remote rural areas, it is necessary to collect cash dollars...... Zhejiang Changhua is barely willing to accept banknotes, which is already very good.

“…… Alas, how much money can be exchanged for such a few pieces of bloodstone! The Red Army weishenme hasn't arrived here yet? Senior Sister Ma Tong lamented with a drooping face. …… Although the cost of these banknotes is almost negligible, it is ...... Time is money, and if you don't make money, you lose money! ”

She rubbed her forehead in anguish. pulled his throat and let out a burst of "magic sounds" like a mournful sound.

At the same time, the group of rookie underground party members who had followed Pastor Hu from Shanghai squatted numbly around the kitchen stove, ignoring the hysteria of the "future comrades". I just sucked and ate the freshly cooked haode bracken salted meat soup noodles......

――――――――――――――――

Speaking of which. When fleeing Shanghai, Wang Qiu really never dreamed that he would fall into such a dilemma.

As he once read in a classic Western novel: "Everyone is pretentious because he has a certain quality......"

And the biggest pretentiousness of Wang Qiu and others...... Of course, it is the conceit and arrogance of being a "traverser".

Arrogance, conceit, superiority, and the idea of being superior to others are the original sins of being "time-travelers".

-- This is the most common disease for traversers.

As time-travelers, they have a vision and insight beyond the times, relying on the wormhole behind them, they have the advanced jishu and huge resources of modern shijie. Under the advantageous conditions of this rolling type. No matter who it is, the thought of "I am a child of destiny" will more or less arise in their minds.

-- Because I was ahead of my time. So it's never me who is wrong, it's this shijie! Everything in this world should revolve around us!

But the problem is that this is not the case, and the time-traveler is by no means an omnipotent superman, let alone a sage who is always a prophet.

-- They underestimated not only the efficiency of the Kuomintang agents, but also the visibility of their own group outside Shanghai.

What's even worse is that they don't know that among the twelve agents of the Blue Coat Society who were killed by them at will, there are several high-ranking officials and eunuchs......

Therefore, after Wang Qiu and others had just entered Hangzhou after several disguises, bought a house as an activity base, and purchased some antiques with money, they found that they were suspected of being targeted. Then, the whole city was soon plastered with their bounty warrants.

Then, as they were panicked about to withdraw from Hangzhou, Jin Qina was unfortunately identified at a suburban outpost—among the policemen stationed at the outpost was an enthusiastic reader who had recently visited her in Shanghai—and had to engage in a shootout before she could escape, and Wang Qiu's left arm was unfortunately grazed by a bullet, and he grinned in pain.

As a result, Wang Qiu was completely angry - Lao Tzu killed from Central America to Tokyo, then to the Eastern Roman Empire, then to ancient Egypt, modern London and Arthurian Britain, conquered an unknown number of important cities, killed so many historical celebrities, and even Julius Caesar was burned to a charred corpse by me...... You've never eaten a gun once, how dare you little Kuomintang spies and police officers do this?!

In addition, since escaping from Hangzhou, their ways to make money have basically been cut off: they dare not go to big cities for fear of being wanted; However, in small villages, it is difficult to collect valuable materials - firstly, the banknotes are not easy to use, and secondly, the logistics are not developed enough, and there is not much money to buy......

For this reason, seeing the rapid decline in daily income, not only Wang Qiu and other cadres who were on the front line of the Republic of China's time and space, but also the leading organs of the Chinese Alien Circles far away in Beijing, as well as many friends and allies who participated in the distribution of fertilizer, as well as the government departments that were extremely happy to get a large number of antiques and materials without spending money for a while, all hated these Kuomintang reactionaries who "made a fuss out of nothing" to the core. Now, as long as the money printing press is reasonably and legally used to make "ancient coins". You can have as much money as you want. And you don't have to worry about inflation, you don't have to worry about public grievances, and you don't have to worry about diplomatic disputes...... Where else can such a good thing be found?

And the Chiang Kai-shek authorities of the Nationalist Government in Nanjing, who let this good thing come to naught. is not only an old enemy in the history of our party, but also a great enemy today!

Belch? You say "national powder"? Please, cutting off people's financial means is like taking people's lives! is a fanatical fan of Chairman Jiang, and he has to deal with it when he encounters this situation!

Soon, not long after Wang Qiu and his team escaped from Hangzhou, they received instructions from the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army: in view of the fact that Jin Qina, the "initial traverser" who caused the wormhole, was wanted by the reactionary Kuomintang authorities, she could not continue to serve as a transit point for various materials; Whereas, wormholes have a limited duration. Can't afford to delay. Therefore, with the approval of the highest authorities in Zhongnanhai, he simply contacted the Red Army in this time and space, and made a big vote! 、

――Don't let us buy it with money, right? Then let's just use the robbery! Defeat all the "revolutionary objects" of the past again!

Of course. The limited number of traversers can't afford to sacrifice this problem, and it also needs to be fully considered - so find a way to pull cannon fodder on the other side of the wormhole!

Obviously, at that time, the best price-performance ratio and reliability in China were the best. The most resolute cannon fodder against the reactionary authorities of the Kuomintang. Naturally, it was none other than the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. Moreover, armed assistance to the revolutionary veterans of the different shijie is also in line with the basic principle of "political correctness".

In addition, the above-mentioned cross-time and space "aid to the Communist Party" Jihua has also received strong support from some veteran leaders and seniors within relevant departments. and sent Wang Qiu and the others the film crew of "Into Science", which had just finished their mission in the UK, to prepare to shoot a patriotic educational film based on local materials in the time and space of the Republic of China, so as to crack down on the trend of some "historical inventors" who have repeatedly banned the reversal of historical cases in recent years......

So. Wang Qiu and the others turned around and embarked on a journey to find the Red Army with a burning heart of revenge.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

However. Although the determination to "aid the communists" has been made, it is obvious that it is still necessary to consider which Red Army to find to support it.

You must know that it was late November 1934, and the Central Red Army had already embarked on the Long March...... The most important thing is that they are thousands of miles away from Wang Qiu and others, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and they are constantly flexible and uncertain. Wang Qiu and the others wanted to take Jin Qina and Jin Xingzhen, a pair of delicate mother and daughter, as well as the rabble under General Political Commissar Hu Dexing, to catch up, which was really a bit difficult.

Fortunately, the Red Army, which was very close to Hangzhou, still had one at the moment -- that is, the Red Tenth Army led by Fang Zhimin, Su Yu and others.

At the same time that the main Red Army left Ruijin, the "red capital", and began the Long March, in order to drag down the elite troops of the Kuomintang and reduce the pressure on the Central Red Army to break through. The newly formed Red Tenth Army also left the Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Soviet regions in the northeast of Jiangxi, but instead of making a strategic transfer to the areas where the enemy's rule was weak, it pointed its troops directly at the Jiangsu-Zhejiang region on the south bank of the Yangtze River, like a sharp sword inserted into the hinterland ruled by the Kuomintang!

-- Long before the Red Army began its Long March, the Chinese Army. The CPC Central Committee and the Central Military Commission of the Central Committee of the Chinese Revolution decided to send a force deep behind enemy lines to advance into Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so as to extend the war against "encirclement and suppression" to the hinterland ruled by the Kuomintang. In this way, it will be possible to mobilize and contain a part of the Kuomintang army, relieve and reduce the pressure of the Kuomintang army on the central revolutionary base areas, and thus create favorable conditions for the Long March of the Central Red Army.

This is a tragic assault similar to the Japanese kamikaze during the Pacific War, and it is almost destined to be a tragic assault with no return!

According to the instructions of the Party Central Committee, in early July 1934, the Seventh Army Corps of the Red Army, which was ordered to carry out the task of 'diverting the enemy', went north to resist the Japanese Advance Force, drove more than 3,200 miles from the Central Soviet Region, fought bloody battles all the way, broke through the encirclement and interception of the enemy's heavy troops, and entered the base area in northeastern Jiangxi to join the Red Tenth Army.

In early November, according to the telegram of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, the two units were reorganized into the Red Tenth Army Corps, with Fang Zhimin as chairman of the Military and Political Committee, Liu Chouxi as the commander of the corps, Le Shaohua as the political commissar of the corps, and Su Yu as the chief of staff, with two divisions under its jurisdiction and a total of more than 8,000 people. The original Red Seventh Army was reduced to the 19th Division, and the division commander Xun Huaizhou; The original Red Tenth Army was downsized to the 20th Division, and division commander Liu Chouxi served concurrently. Among them, the Red 19th Division attacked first, and the Red 20th Division followed and moved.

Next, Xun Huaizhou, Liu Ying, and Su Yu led the Red 19th Division to cross the blockade line of Pingfeng Pass, and with great courage, taking advantage of the favorable conditions that Chiang Kai-shek's heavy troops gathered in the southern part of Jiangxi to "suppress bandits" and the hinterland of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were relatively empty, and the lone army went straight to western Zhejiang and southern Anhui, crossed the Xin'an River, crossed the Hangzhou (Zhou) Chun (An) Highway, and once arrived at Changhua, threatening Hangzhou and shaking Nanjing.

-- Obviously, the goal of the Red Tenth Army Corps is very much in line with the positioning of Wang Qiu and others as "short distance and convenient joints."

And Su Yu, the "head of the top ten generals of the republic", seems to be more trustworthy in his military talent.

In view of the above considerations, Wang Qiu and others, who were too lazy to run, rushed directly to Changhua along the highway and rented a yard in the county town to live. Then he asked General Political Commissar Hu to contact the underground party in the county, and waited for Su Yu to come with the Red 19th Division to join the division.

Unfortunately, they didn't know that in the underground party organization in Changhua, some people had already quietly chosen to betray......

So, early the next morning, before Wang Qiu and the others got up, there was a sound outside their rented courtyard, "Catch the red bandits!" "Live or die!" shouts. (To be continued......)
