Bad news followed. Zhang Fengshan heard from the news: "This station broadcasts the latest news: After the fall of Taiyuan on the 8th, yesterday, the national army retreated from Kunshan across the board and Shanghai fell."
Zhang Fengshan turned off the radio annoyingly and turned his head to look out the window. Suddenly, a group of people walked towards the dock, headed by Shi Yong.
On the dock, Shi Yong took the lead in putting up a slogan that read: "Military-civilian cooperation, expel Japanese invaders."
The wharf was originally the most lively place in Wencheng, and many people were immediately surrounded. Ma Biao kept order while yelling: "The Mayor Shi has given us a demonstration of putting up slogans. Every household must follow suit."
Someone in the crowd echoed: "The County Mayor Shi is so good. He went to the streets to post signs on his first day in office. We have hope in Wencheng. Everyone should go back and post them. Whoever does not post is not patriotic.
Others said: "Yes, I heard that his slapstick troupe last night scolded Master Liu and run away. This is a good official."
Someone also worried and said: "A scholar encounters a soldier, and it is unreasonable. County Mayor Shi, a scholar, was afraid that the strong dragon would not be able to fight the local snake, and soon he would be driven away. You forgot that the former county magistrate was killed by the Song Dynasty. After the Tiejun was driven away, he never dared to come."
Zhang Fengshan instructed Shuisheng to buy a blank paper, and then do it himself, write "All the people resist the war, unite against the enemy", and post it outside the gate.
Shi Yong saw it, and came over with Ma Biao, deliberately pretending not to know him: "Are you the owner of this teahouse?"
Zhang Fengshan said: "Yes, my name is Zhang Fengshan. I saw you at the welcome banquet last night. We all support the War of Resistance."
Ma Biao said: "The county magistrate, this Mr. Zhang is the little son of Chairman Zhang Fuhai. Chairman Zhang is a highly respected figure in Wencheng. You should take the time to visit the mansion. With his support, a lot of work will start. It will be much smoother."
Shi Yong knew about the situation of Zhang Fengshan's family, and wanted to visit him for a long time, but he was afraid of giving people the truth. Now when Ma Biao mentioned it, he went down the donkey and said, "Isn't it just right now, let's go, let's greet the old man."
In the Zhang Family Courtyard, someone had reported the information. Although Zhang Fuhai said that he was a little heavy and had not fully recovered, he heard that the county magistrate had arrived, and he quickly called his family together, opened the door, and personally greeted him with his brother Zhang Fuyang.
"The county magistrate is here, and the humble house is shining."
"The old gentleman is too modest. Shi heard that the old gentleman was occasionally caught in the cold, and he came to visit specially. Now that the old gentleman is recovering, Shi is very pleased."
"The old man is grateful for the county magistrate's concern, please come into the room and tell."
After a few people entered the house and settled down, Shi Yong said, "I am here for the first time, and I would like to ask the old man to take care of him in the future."
Zhang Fuhai said: "The county magistrate loves the old man too much. As long as the county head tells him, the old man dare not only look forward to the horse's head."
Very happy to tell each other. Zhang Fengshan said: "The head of Wenshi County is talented and has a wealth of learning skills. Today's chance is a coincidence. Fengshan dare to give me a calligraphy."
Shi Yongqian said: "Wencheng is a place where tigers and dragons live, and there are as many talented men and beautiful women as the crucian carp who crossed the river in the past. There are countless people who have left in the history. Shi is so talented and shallow, how dare you make an axe?"
Everyone asked again and again, Shi Yong said: "It is better to be respectful than to obey your fate and show your ugliness!" After finishing speaking, the pen took the dragon and the snake, and with one wave, it was a song of "sentiment."
The clouds on the river have not yet been collected, and Wencheng is afraid to climb up the building.
The sorrowful wind destroys the red leaves, and the cold rain brings sadness to the late autumn.
Worrying about the country adds Shimou's hatred, and it is difficult to worry about the spiritual life.
Fighting but 100,000 head blood, defending the family and the country embarked on the journey.
Zhang Fuhai praised: "The old and rough writing and ink, Shi County Mayor's poetry has a lofty mood, majestic momentum, and patriotic sentiment through the back of the paper. It is admirable. I will order people to mount and hang in the hall to let my children and grandchildren remember the teachings."
Everyone also praised.
Zhang Fuhai tried his best to keep Shi Yong for dinner. He said that he had just come to Wencheng and had a lot of things going on. He would come back to harass another day and left.
Zhang Fuhai sent him out, looking at him in a dusty manner, and said with emotion: "As of the time I can remember, the Wencheng county magistrate I have seen has no less than ten appointments. Which one is not greedy and corrupt, and I can't wait to scrape the ground three feet. Only this Shi Yong is really impressive."
Zhang Fengshan said: "The Shi county magistrate is ambitious and ambitious, and he is quick and resolute. Look at him just one day after taking office. The streets are overwhelming with slogans and the people are enthusiastic about supporting the war. If there are such parents in all parts of China, how could we be shot? Japan bullied like this in the land?"
Zhang Fengshan was in a good mood and walked along the bluestone road to the teahouse. Both sides were covered with various slogans: "Down with Japanese imperialism", "The War of Resistance is the only way for the Chinese nation to survive and fight for personality", and "To race Immortal, but the war to the end", "exchanging blood for the independence and freedom of the nation"...
At the gate of Wencheng Middle School, Zhang Fengshan saw Wu Fei, Yang Sicheng, Wang Xiaohu and others brushing slogans on the wall. The slogans here are slightly different from those on the old street. They are: "Insist on the Anti-Japanese National United Front" and "Japanese Devils" Get out of China", "Long live the liberation of the Chinese nation", "My country will live if I die, and the country will die if I live"...
The minds of the Communists are different from those of the Kuomintang. They dare to sacrifice their lives for righteousness, and regard national justice as the most important thing, regardless of personal sacrifice. Seeing Wang Xiaohu, Zhang Fengsheng remembered an incident not long ago. He was reading the newspaper in the office of the tea house that day when suddenly someone broke in, it was Wang Xiaohu. Zhang Fengshan was about to get up to greet, but saw Wang Xiaohu shake the newspaper in his hand, revealing the black hole of the muzzle below, and said: "Don't move, as long as you don't shout, I won't shoot." He closed the door as he said. Zhang Fengshan pretended to be scared and said, "This hero, we don't know each other. I don't know what you can do with me?" Wang Xiaohu said, "I just have a few questions to ask Mr. Zhang for advice." Then he took out a pack of pyramids. Asked: "Do you want a cigarette? I am a Pyramid cigarette." Zhang Fengshan took a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table and said, "I only smoke a beautiful brand, a hero, what can I do? Ask the question, right?" Wang Xiaohu saw that Zhang Fengshan didn't respond to the secret words, disappointed, and asked: "Have you ever been arrested by the police station?" Zhang Fengshan said: "I was arrested, it was a Japanese policeman." Wang Xiaohu then asked a few more questions. For this question, Zhang Fengshan's answer is not in line with his expectations. In fact, during this period of time, Wang Xiaohu had been monitoring Zhang Fengshan in secret. Seeing him wandering around all day, he looked broad and young, and there were two other attendants around him. He had long suspected that he was not a special agent from Yan'an. Today, he took a risk to ask and finally got confirmation , He said: "Mr. Zhang, excuse me." After speaking, he turned and left.
Zhang Fengshan is also very distressed. When facing his relatives and comrades, he must cover himself up with lies, and even show that he is on the opposite side of them. But this was explained by Old Wei, and it was also for the long-term plan. When Old Wei was leaving, he especially exhorted: "Chairman Mao is a big chess player. He advocated that our policy is independence in the united front, which is both unity and independence. When the KMT and the Communist Party cooperated for the first time, we were in the Communist International. With help, half-push half-hearted cooperation with the Kuomintang, and ended up suffering a big loss. The reason for the loss was that we gave up the leadership and obeyed the Kuomintang’s orders. Later, when Chiang Kai-shek turned his face, we were only passively beaten and unable to fight back. At present, the Kuomintang possesses the military. Advantages, and if we have the political initiative and implement a united front, we can turn our disadvantages into advantages, and our party can achieve great development. However, if we lose leadership like the first KMT-CPC cooperation, we may even lose our roots. Because in Chiang Kai-shek's view, the Communist Party must obey the National Government in order to establish a united front. Since the Kuomintang is the ruling party, obedience to the government orders also obeys the Kuomintang and Chiang Kai-shek. The Communist Party may not be able to win. If we commit right opportunism again, it will not only unify If they are not, they will be unified by them. You and Comrade Shi Yong have a heavy burden on their shoulders. You must use your identity to protect your comrades, and you must also develop our comrades from the enemy, and strive to unify them and strengthen ours. power."
Shi Yong also said: "In the future, when we get along with the Wencheng Working Committee, we must maintain parallelism. These are two lines. The Wencheng Working Committee is an open line. We are a dark line. Don't intersect the two lines when it is not a last resort."
Zhang Fengshan pretended not to see them, passed by them and returned to "Yihuchun". However, Zhou Jin's face was blue and he was waiting for him.
"The surname is Zhang, you are finally here, what happened last night?"
Knowing that he was jealous, Zhang Fengshan smiled and said, "Chief Officer Zhou, what you said makes my brother very difficult to understand. Seeing your inquisition, where did I offend you?"
"My friend's wife must not be deceived. I ask you where did you take Xu Yuqing last night?"
"I sent her home and left. As for where she went, you should ask her."
"Nonsense, as soon as you left on the front foot, I left on the back foot and did not catch up with you. I waited in front of her door all night and did not see her coming back. You tell me the truth, otherwise I can't spare you."
"Don't get angry, I'll be honest. She got off the car and asked me to walk with her. We went all the way to Daning Temple. When she said it, we broke up."
A scene that he would never forget last night quickly flashed in Zhang Fengshan's mind. When Xu Yuqing got out of the car to let him walk with him, she took the initiative to hold his hand. In fact, deep in Zhang Fengshan's heart, there is also a volcano hidden, but he often suppresses personal feelings and prevents the volcano from erupting. The warmth passing from the palm of her hand was like a fuse, which immediately detonated the passionate emotions in his heart. He thinks that love is regardless of class, nationality, or national boundaries, no matter what kind of person Xu Yuqing is, but from a woman's point of view, she is worthy of her love. If there is no opposition between the two camps, how good everything would be. He suddenly remembered what Old Wei said, why not try to "unify" her and become a person on his side? Thinking of this, he was inexplicably excited.
At this moment, Xu Yuqing's heart was also tumbling. If she had not met, her heart would be just a kind of care and a longing. Once we met, her emotions would be like a flood that bursts the dyke. During the time we got along, the seed of love was buried in the hearts of two people. Now, it has sprung up like bamboo shoots and is unstoppable. Zhang Fengshan broke the calm and said: "Yuqing, forgive me for not seeing you since I came back. I'm afraid that my stupid mouth will hurt you again." Xu Yuqing said: "You have hurt me, you are like wiped on me. The honey on the tip of your nose can really feel its existence, but you can't appreciate its sweetness." The two walked under the moonlight, as if traveling in a dreamland, everything was so beautiful.
Zhou Jin knows where Daning Temple is. Xu Yuqing is very likely to go there because there is her uncle's house there. He also knew Xu Yuqing at Liu Chenglong's house and fell madly in love with her. Zhou Jin looked directly into Zhang Fengshan’s eyes, seeing that he didn’t seem to be lying. Besides, Xu Yuqing was a reserved woman. It was impossible to sleep with a man who had only met once. Thinking of this, he felt a little better. But there is still some imbalance. "Why is she so good to you?"
Zhang Fengshan said lightly: "How do I know? You asked the wrong person."
Zhou Jin also realized that he was a little stupid to ask this. He said harshly, "Don't take it as an example. You have to promise me that you will never see her again."
Zhang Fengshan knew that Xu Yuqing didn't love him at all. He did not rule out that he wanted to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix when he pursued her, so that he could lean on the big tree Liu Chenglong and become soaring. "I can give you a clear answer now, I can't do it!"
Zhou Yingji took out a revolver and threatened viciously: "Do you dare? I want to fight you."
Zhang Fengshan said as if he didn’t know him, “I’m not going to fight you. It turns out that you’re so promising? Now that Shanghai has fallen, the Japanese mechanized forces are advancing to Suzhou and Wuxi, and the decisive battle in Nanjing is about to start. If Nanjing can’t hold on, Anton is in dire straits. You are dignified captain of the national army and do not want to serve the country with loyalty, but you are jealous for the sake of women. You even said that you call on the fathers and elders of your hometown to fight against the Japanese invaders? Blame me because I have no eyes.
