Chapter 798
I already have the answer in my hand, and the solution is naturally fast and good. It didn't take too much time for Ji Menghan's superiors to confirm that the documents provided by Guo Bao were genuine.
Although there were a lot of problems in the first time we worked together, we were fortunate to get off to a good start. Guo Bao and Ji Jiacan also gradually cultivated some tacit understanding in the process.
In the next few tasks, whenever Guo Bao said that the matter could be solved, Ji Jiacan no longer asked Guo Bao to give a specific solution as he did the first time. His attitude has also become more friendly, and his mouth has become much more polite. And Guo Bao is also willing to chat and joke with Ji Jiacan.
Then time passed quickly, and the fighting spread to the vicinity of Beiping. One day, someone posted a notice at the mouth of the alley in the middle of the night. When I woke up, the neighbors gathered in front of the notice, and an old neighbor who knew how to read and hyphenated characters read to everyone: Beiping citizens read the notice in front of the bulletin board
It is a notice from the Pingjin Front Command on the Shaanxi side.
This army was ordered to annihilate the bandit army of the southern government and liberate the cities of Beiping, Tianjin, Tangshan, and Zhangjiakou. I hereby declare that I am willing to observe with all my people:
(1) Protect the lives and property of all people in all cities.
(2) Protection of national industry and commerce.
……
(8) All citizens and people from all walks of life in the city, both before and after the army enters the city, must be jointly responsible for maintaining social order and preventing destruction. Those who protect meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who conspire to sabotage will be punished.
When the old neighbor read this, he paused, took a breath, pointed to the notice with his finger, and deliberately raised his voice to continue reading:
This army is strictly disciplined, buys and sells in public, does not take a stitch from the people, and hopes that all our people will live and work in peace and contentment, and must not believe rumors and disturb each other.
Commander Lin
Political Commissar Law
December 22, 37th year of the Republic of China
A white-bearded old man in the crowd took over the conversation:
"I think that when Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, led his army into Guanzhong, there were 'three chapters of the law'. Covenant with the Father, the three chapters of the law; The murderer dies, wounds and steals. This *** is five more chapters than Han Gaozu!"
Hearing this, the old neighbors let out a knowing laugh, and the conversation box also opened:
"It seems that *** is really going to enter Beiping!"
"Come on! Let's have a good year, young and old!"
"Let's disperse! The patrol is here!"
In the blink of an eye, there was no one at the mouth of the alley. The patrolman came and glanced at the poster, raised his hand to remove it, shook his head and walked away helplessly. Because in the past few days, there have been notices posted by the Beiping underground party in Shaanxi everywhere in Sijiu City, and even the police stations of the southern government have received notices.
Ji Menghan, Guo Bao and Ji Jiacan are all involved in such a thing. Ji Menghan had done similar things when he was studying, and Guo Bao and Ji Jiacan experienced this kind of stimulation for the first time.
The people of Beiping are worried about the impending war in the city, speculating how long the city will be besieged. Some say a month, some say three months, but regardless of the length of the forecast, people are hoarding food, just in case. On the streets of Beiping City, grain stores have long sold out of grain, and occasionally there are grain stores that open, and the prices are also surprisingly high.
This tense atmosphere envelops the entire city of Beiping, even if the Chinese New Year is about to begin. There is no longer the atmosphere of the past festival in the city of Beiping. Everyone is preparing for the coming war. Just when everyone thought that a fight was about to start, suddenly the radio in the city said that the commander-in-chief of the North China Suppression and the Shaanxi side had reached a peace agreement. The city of Beiping is peaceful!
Wake up one morning. The people in the city of Peiping found out. The southern government troops that were originally guarding the various intersections were gone, and they were guarded by troops from Shaanxi.
On this day, it was very lively, and many people also went out to see the excitement. And Wang Wenwu climbed onto the roof as he did not long after he first came to Beiping, looking in the direction of Xizhimen, where the sound of firecrackers sounded from time to time told people that Shaanxi had entered the city from there.
The first thing this army did when it entered the city was to solve the problem of shelter. Now it is the Great Cold Solar Term, and the cold wind in Beiping is howling, dripping into ice. It's not uncommon for individuals to freeze to death.
That night and night, Wang Wen
Because of its proximity to the famous alleys in the eastern suburbs, there are soldiers from Shaanxi on duty. The soldiers on duty, some wearing a quilt that was difficult to keep out the cold, some wearing a very thin coat, crowded in the doorways and under the eaves of the common people, their lips were purple from the cold, but none of them went to call the people's door.
These were discovered by Wang Wenwu's subordinates when they got up early in the morning and planned to throw out the garbage. The subordinates of Wang Wenwu's family looked at these soldiers in the cold winter. Actually, I slept outside like this. But when I think of the southern government troops I saw in the past, it is estimated that these soldiers are sleeping outside! Which officers specified is not frozen.
Although these soldiers looked pitiful. But I am not the master, and I can't be the master. Besides, what if you lure a wolf into the house? I don't even throw away the garbage, there are so many big soldiers outside, and the garbage collectors probably don't dare to come in. It's okay to throw away the garbage for a few days late on this cold day. Before these soldiers woke up, they wanted to quickly enter the house and close the door.
As soon as the subordinates of Wang Wenwu's family turned around, the soldier sleeping by the gate of Wang Wenwu's house said, "Comrade, this comrade! What time is it?"
The subordinates of Wang Wenwu's family were startled by this sudden voice. reacted, and it turned out that this person had woken up. Look at the other party's blue lips. said, "Why are you all sleeping here, it's freezing this day, aren't you afraid that you won't wake up the next day?"
The soldier humorously said, "It's not cold, we have a dragon cloak."
The subordinates of Wang Wenwu's family were stunned when they heard this. What a fire dragon suit. After careful questioning, I realized that they were so cold that they couldn't sleep at night, so they walked back and forth and jumped in place.
The descendants of Wang Wenwu's family said, "Then you can't sleep outside directly! You're pathetic, but it's the same everywhere. How can those who are officials fatten their own pockets if they don't drink the blood of soldiers?"
Another soldier next to the accosting soldier said, "Comrade. Our army in Shaanxi is not the same as the army of the southern government. This is our company commander, sleeping on the street like us!"
I didn't expect to look at the person who was the same as an ordinary soldier, but it turned out to be a company commander. The company commander joked, "Haha, no, as a company commander, I still have some privileges. It's a little better than them, with an extra layer of cover."
After speaking, he also raised half of his buttocks and showed the newspaper under him to the servants of Wang Wenwu's family. It turned out that the privilege of the company commander was to spread one more newspaper than ordinary soldiers.
The descendants of Wang Wenwu's family had never seen such an army, so they were stunned for a moment, and finally said, "Wait until I go back and ask the master's family. Let's see if we can get into the house and get warm!"
The company commander shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, the superiors stipulate that you are not allowed to enter the private house, and we have received your wishes, but the house cannot be entered."
The subordinates of Wang Wenwu's family were a little incomprehensible that those officials in Shaanxi should give such an order. The most important thing is that these big-headed soldiers actually carried it out.
Finally, the descendants of Wang Wenwu's family said, "Then I'll go and see if I can get you some firewood, you can make a fire, it will be better!"
The weather is indeed really cold, and it shouldn't be considered a violation of discipline for the masses to send some firewood! The company commander looked at the soldiers who were shivering from the cold, and he couldn't say anything to refuse.
The company commander said, "Then I'm sorry for you!"
The servant said, "It's not a problem at all."
The company commander said, "My watch is broken, I don't know what time it is."
The servant said, "I don't know this for a while, but when I go in and take a look, I'll tell you how it is!"
The company commander said, "That's for your trouble."
The servant said, "Then wait a minute."
It's such a cold day outside, and Wang Wenwu hasn't woken up yet. The next person reported to Zhang Muen. Zhang Muen felt that the big-headed soldiers outside had not been frozen to death yet. It's really going to freeze to death when the time comes, and those regulations and orders may not be able to control people. At that time, the door of their house will not be able to withstand it, so it is better to give them some firewood and let them stay outside. I nodded in agreement.
When it was time to eat, the people thought about what the soldiers outside were eating in the cold. I discussed it with others for a long time. In the end, I couldn't hold back, opened the door, and probed out.
As a result, they were stunned, and those soldiers ate sorghum flour and cornmeal in one
buns, with ice ballast; The pickles are dried bean pods, pickled eggplant, pickled radish, and the cold water is drunk with "root pricking".
The people of Wang Wenwu's family summed up the four major advantages of the guards and soldiers in Shaanxi: first, they did not make noise, second, they did not run around, third, they did not enter people's houses, and fourth, they stood guard at night and did not frighten the people.
Although everyone thought that the troops entering the city were very spiritual, when dealing with the soldiers, they always felt that they were too serious, and in humorous and simple Beijing dialect, they were a bit "silly". Of course, Wang Wenwu knew that it was no wonder that the soldiers, the education before entering the city made them dare not cross the thunder pond by half a step.
The residence of these soldiers. Fortunately, those who are officials in Shaanxi also know that soldiers cannot always live on the side of the road. There is a solution to the problem of housing.
The solution is: Who still has a vacant room in this Beiping city to temporarily vacate for people to live in. Let's but a new problem arises again. The people who can vacate their houses in the four or nine cities of Beiping are either bureaucrats, capitalists, or high-level intellectuals or other well-known people. The large families who live in such high gates and deep courtyards are a special assessment of the discipline of the troops entering the city.
Where Wang Wenwu lives now. Big place, and a lot of empty rooms. Someone from Shaanxi came to the door to ask, can you let some soldiers live in?
Zhang Muen looked at Wang Wenwu. Wang Wenwu didn't seem to hesitate at all. I agreed without even thinking about it. And the one who stayed was the group of soldiers who had slept in front of Wang Wenwu's house.
With a house to shelter from the wind and rain, these Shaanxi soldiers are in much better condition than before. Wang Wenwu was neither enthusiastic nor indifferent to these soldiers.
The company commander saw that the garbage in Wang Wenwu's yard was piled up into a hill, so he took a few cadres and soldiers to roll up their sleeves and did it.
I don't know where they found the trucks coming from, and it took 3 hours for the garbage mountain to be bulldozed and removed from the yard. Seeing that the garbage mountain was pulled away by the truck, Zhang Muen immediately asked people to boil water and cook for everyone to eat and drink.
Of course, these people will definitely not accept this meal and drink, the army is disciplined!
The rest of the Wang family was reluctant to approach the soldiers at first, so they stayed away. But slowly, they found that these *** were the same as advertised in the newspapers, knowledgeable, civilized and polite.
Wang Wenwu's two new aunts loved to listen to battle stories, and soon became familiar with the soldiers. The two aunts kept saying good things about Shaanxi to Wang Wenwu, saying, "They are a literate army and the most civilized army."
In addition to those who accepted the peace agreement from the southern government, there were also many spies who had withdrawn from the northeast, north China, and northwest China, and gathered in Beiping.
According to the materials available, in addition to the spies of the three major systems of the Secrecy Bureau, the Military Unification, and the Central Unification, there are also more than 8,000 spies, including the North China "Suppression Chief," the "Qing Communist Vanguard," and British and American spies. In addition to the reactionary backbone elements of the Southern Government, such as the Beiping City Party Department, the hEb Provincial Party Department, the Three Youth Leagues, the Democratic Socialist Party, and the Youth Party, the total number of spies is no less than 16,000.
One of the tasks of the troops in Shaanxi that had entered the city was to organize the masses to welcome them into the city on Qianmen Street.
It's not that easy to do. If you think about it, the early army has just taken over the government, and no one knows anyone, so they have to carry out such a major security mission, if they are mixed with the agents of the southern government and let go of the cold gun, how can they explain it.
In order to prevent the spies from sabotage, the specific time and place of entering the city was not widely publicized in Beiping City. In all the streets that passed, almost all of them were arranged in the first three rows, and they were all underground workers and young students from Shaanxi.
However, to the surprise of the Pingjin front-line command, although there was a sandstorm that day, the people rushed to hear the news and did not hesitate to stand in the cold wind for more than 4 hours to see the demeanor of the world. In the end, almost half of the citizens of Beiping participated in the entrance ceremony.
When the entrance ceremony began, the ancient cultural capital of Beiping was boiling. Watch as citizens, students, and workers poured into the city from all corners of the city to the route through which the troops were to pass, almost all of them holding small buntings in their hands.
On Qianmen Street, the armored convoy was surrounded by a welcoming crowd. The students climbed on the armored car and put up slogans, and when the slogans were finished, they wrote them with pens on the guns. Finally, the soldiers were also marked with the slogan: "Celebrate
Beiping is liberated!" "Welcome***!" "Liberate all of China!"
In the Xizhimen City Gate, many people on both sides of the road are welcoming the troops into the city, and some of them are still holding basins and sprinkling water in front of the car.
Most of the roads in Beiping City are dirt roads, and cars, horses, cannons and people walking through them will raise dust in the sky. The common people sprinkled water on the ground and splashed the streets with clean water, so as not to eat the dust in the dust, and they could not see the appearance of the team.
These scenes were all witnessed by Guo Bao following Ji Menghan. The commander-in-chief of the southern government's North China crackdown reached a peace agreement with the Shaanxi side, and in order to maintain this hard-won peace and prevent sabotage by the agents of the southern government, the two sides carried out strict inspections of pedestrians on the road.
Until the ceremony of entering the city, Guo Bao did not have a chance to return to Wang Wenwu. During this period, he followed Ji Menghan and Ji Jiacan to complete many tasks, and was regarded as a member of the underground workers, participating in the entrance ceremony of the Shaanxi side.
