Liu Chenglong was stubborn about the escape of the academic soldiers. Zhang Fengshan was imprisoned at that time. He wanted to be executed on the spot according to military law, but considering that the Zhang family's wealth had not yet been obtained, he ended up expelling him from the military hastily.
Zhang Fengshan stayed in the headquarters with nothing to do, but he did not know how to do it. He proposed to Liu Chenglong to go out to collect the bills. In the middle of Liu Chenglong's arms, he asked Xu Yuqing to accompany Zhang Fengshan to conduct surveillance secretly.
Zhang Fengshan, dressed as a merchant, brought Xu Yuqing, Shuisheng and Husheng to Qing'an and stayed in a small inn. During the day they stayed in the inn to sleep. At night, Zhang Fengshan offered to meet a client and told Shuisheng and Husheng to take care of his wife.
After seeing Old Wei, Old Wei said, "Fengshan, I can tell you a good news. Jiang Jingyu and the others arrived safely in the Jiangbei guerrilla column. The leader of the Seventh Division entrusted me to thank you!"
Zhang Fengshan’s long-term pain and suffering was replaced by joy at this moment. Thinking of Xu Yuqing’s grievance, he said, “It’s not me who should be grateful, but Xu Yuqing.” Then he gave Xu Yuqing wine to make money. The matter was said exactly once.
After hearing this, Old Wei said: "Fengshan, my attitude was a bit extreme that day. I regretted it after you left. Later, I mentioned this to Comrade Youlan. She said that next time you come, let me tell you to take it. Xu Yuqing went to see her. After all, they are sisters. According to what you said, it seems that we should know her again."
Zhang Fengshan said: "She came this time too, and she is living in the inn."
Old Wei said, "I'll arrange it."
Thinking of the purpose of this trip, Zhang Fengshan said: "Request the organization to give instructions on my next step of work."
Old Wei nodded solemnly and said, "Comrade Fengshan, the Provincial Party Committee has carefully analyzed the current situation. The Japanese aggressors have implemented a comprehensive economic blockade, looting wealth and resources, with the purpose of'recovering war by war' and'using war'. Hua Zhihua'; Wang Jingwei Group publicly voted against the enemy, and is about to establish a puppet government to cooperate with Japanese imperialism in its colonial rule and economic plunder of the occupied areas; the National Government headed by Chiang Kai-shek took a breath and revealed its *** side. , Destroying the united front, creating anti-communist frictions, and constantly squeezing the living space of our anti-Japanese base areas. The current economic struggle has risen to a position as important as the military struggle, so the provincial party committee instructed all levels of party organizations to cooperate with the Seventh Division in the enemy-occupied area A special battle—the trade war, to break the economic blockade of the Japanese army. Your next job is to set up a company in Wencheng, use various social relations to quickly open up the situation, expand the business, and help the base area to buy salt, cloth, medicine, etc. Supplies."
The next morning, Zhang Fengshan and his wife hadn’t gotten up yet, the inn’s guy knocked on the door and sent in a note, which read "Mrs. Zhang: Today’s weather is fine, I will accompany you to go boating in the Huxin Park." The signature was "Mrs. Shi ".
Zhang Fengshan understood what was going on and handed it to Xu Yuqing.
Xu Yuqing looked at it and was surprised, and said, "I have no acquaintance in Qing'an. Who is this Mrs. Shi? How does she know that I am here?"
Zhang Fengshan said: "You won't know once you go."
When Xu Yuqing saw that Zhang Fengshan had something to hide from herself, she asked repeatedly, but Zhang Fengshan always smiled without saying a word.
Xu Yuqing couldn't ask the result, so she came to Huxin Park suspiciously, and saw a familiar figure waving at her from a distance. After a closer look, it was her sister Xu Youlan. She rushed over, and the sisters hugged each other tightly.
When the two of them went boating on the water, Xu Yuqing asked, "Why are you Mrs. Shi? Brother-in-law's surname is Shi
Xu Youlan heard the story of how old Wei told her about her bravery to save the soldiers, so she deliberately wanted to find out about her, so she said, "You know him."
"Impossible. We only met once in Wencheng. At that time, you were still single. I asked you when would you find me a brother-in-law? We never met again. When would you introduce him to me? Know it? You must have remembered it wrong."
"My memory is correct. My sister didn't go around with you anymore. His name is Shi Yong, who was once the county magistrate of your Wencheng."
Xu Yuqing was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, and it took a long time to ask: "So he is also a Communist? And the code name is'Captain'?"
Now it was Xu Youlan's turn to be surprised, because the code name "Captain" is only known to the head of the underground party organization, so he asked: "How do you know that he is the'Captain'?"
Xu Yuqing told Wu Fei that he had leaked his mouth and was reported by an insider, and he was secretly investigated by Song Tiejun, and finally added: "Fortunately, brother-in-law walked fast, otherwise Song Tiejun would be disadvantageous to him."
Xu Youlan took a deep breath and asked, "Are you from the Central Tradition?"
Xu Yuqing nodded and shook her head again. At this moment, her heart is very contradictory. Since the death of Hong Changrong, Xu Yuqing has lost contact with the party organization. She has been waiting for the organization to send someone to connect with her, but no one has come. When she learned that her sister was a member of the Communist Party, she almost told her her true identity, because Hong Changrong had confessed to her that he was her upper line, and only allowed the connection between the upper and lower lines, not parallel or crossing, this is also for organization Security considerations. The waiting days are tormenting, she lost her direction like a broken kite. Now I finally have a chance to see my sister again. Should I say it or not? Finally, she plucked up the courage and said softly: "Sister, in fact, I am just like you."
Xu Youlan heard the off-string sound and was extremely happy in her heart, but she said calmly, "What's the same?"
Xu Yuqing looked around and saw that there was no one, and then firmly said: "I am also a member of the Communist Party of China, and we are comrades in the same trench."
"But you are not on the list of Wencheng County Party Committee?"
"I used the pseudonym Wang Fei."
Xu Youlan checked the list of the Wencheng County Party Committee. There was indeed a person named Wang Fei, but he couldn't find the corresponding person. He didn't expect it to be her own sister. Now the names on the list appeared in her mind. Except for Gao Wenyuan, Wang Xiaohu and the younger sister in front of her, the other comrades died, and no one has been found out who the traitor was. Could it be her? She is a member of the Chinese Communist Party, and the possibility is greater than anyone else, and she is married to Zhang Fengshan. Is the rescue team to gain his trust? Then I can take the opportunity to get in touch with myself and Lao Wei, most likely it is for the provincial party committee. Song Tiejun is not easy, is it the next big game? "Why didn't you take part in the operation to respond to the special commissioner?"
"Secretary Hong said that I have a special status that keeps me lurking for a long time. He also jokingly said that I am a'sleeper'. When one day someone will naturally wake me up."
"You violated discipline by doing so, because no one came to wake you up." Xu Youlan doubted her sister even more. In her opinion, Xu Yuqing's eagerness to expose her identity must have some ulterior motives.
"Sister, I am also very confused. Secretary Hong and I are in one-line contact, and it is stipulated that he is the only one to find me, and I am not allowed to find him. He suddenly sacrificed, and I don’t know how he treated me before he sacrificed Did you report to the superior? Anyway, for so long, no one has contacted me. I have information and I don’t know where to send it? I don’t know where my comrades-in-arms are? Who is it? Well now, I have found you. , Can definitely help me."
Xu Youlan said calmly: "Sister, don't tell anyone today, including Zhang Fengshan. You should still be a'sleeper'. Someday someone will wake you up."
Xu Yuqing was both surprised and disappointed, and asked, "Why, Fengshan is not ours?"
In order to cover Zhang Fengshan, Xu Youlan deliberately said: "As far as I know, he is not."
"No, you lied to me? Didn't he inform you and then you came to me?"
"Yesterday I went to the dock to pick up people and saw your party disembark. Then I followed you to the inn secretly. I left you a note early this morning and asked you to come alone. If he is, why should I avoid him? ?"
"I suspect he is the special commissioner from Yan'an."
"What basis do you have?"
"By my instinct."
Xu Youlan giggled and said, "Intuition is unreliable. If I follow my intuition, Chiang Kai-shek is also a member of the Communist Party. Let me tell you a story, a foreign reporter said. After he said that the Xi’an Incident, Chiang Kai-shek responded. When he arrived in Nanjing, his friends and subordinates came to congratulate him on his fluke. At this moment, Jiang said half-jokingly and half-heartedly: "If I go off the wild because of illness or other misfortunes, guess who I will nominate? Take over me?' So these people pretended to guess. Some guessed it was Cheng Qian, some guessed it was Wang Jingwei, and some guessed it was Kong Xiangxi. But Chiang Kai-shek shook his head and said no. Looking at these dumb subordinates, Chiang Kai-shek pointed out. :'As my heir, I have to choose General Bai Chongxi.' This somewhat surprised the people around Jiang, because Bai Chongxi is a Guangxi warlord and a strong opponent of Jiang in the warlord melee. But it is even more exciting to those present. What was stunned was the following words. Chiang Kai-shek paused and said something shocking:'The second candidate, I want to mention Mao Zedong!'"
Old Wei quickly reported Xu Yuqing's situation to Zhang Fengshan, asking him to carefully inspect Xu Yuqing in his future work and life, and continue to perform latent tasks before confirming that she has not defected, and not arrange any party work.
Zhang Fengshan's mood is very complicated, both happy and worried. What is happy is that Xu Yuqing was once a member of the organization, and she is a like-minded comrade-in-arms; what is worrying is whether she betrayed the revolution and betrayed her comrades? If she is a traitor, how will she face it? Did she end up with her personally or? Zhang Fengshan didn't dare to think anymore.
After returning to Wencheng, Zhang Fengshan first came to the Chamber of Commerce to discuss reopening matters with Xu Dakai and others.
Xu Dakai was appointed as the new chairman by the county magistrate Hu Kongzhao at this time. He said: "Fengshan, I am going to find you. The county government has returned all the property confiscated by your family during the Japanese occupation. Everyone hopes that you will inherit from your father. Mantle, do business."
Zhang Fengshan said: "I have come to have this intention, and I will ask all the elders to give more support at that time."
Zhang Fengshan knows that on the site of Wencheng, the support of the county government and the chamber of commerce is not enough. Liu Chenglong is the most important pass. As the saying goes, "Lean with a big tree back to enjoy the cool" and Liu Chenglong's gun escorts him. His business can grow bigger and stronger.
Zhang Fengshan told Liu Chenglong of his plan to set up the company, which was just what he wanted. Liu Chenglong went to Jinhuang not long ago to participate in the listing ceremony of the Garrison Command, and he was deeply impressed. The mountains are brightly lit at night, and it has become a prosperous world like Qing'an. Li Heling set up Anton Enterprise Company to preside over the trade in the occupied areas, exchange them for the urgently needed materials in the mountainous areas, and sell them on the market with great profits. Officials, large and small, either went out in person, or let their relatives come forward to do business and make a fortune in the war. There is a poem that puts it well: “Being an official is not as good as doing business, and doing business is not as good as being a prostitute (managing a warehouse), being a prostitute is not as good as sleeping with (tax), and sleeping with a grain (grain administration).
Liu Chenglong knows that since ancient times, it has been a marriage between government and business. If you want to be an official, you can't live without a businessman; if a businessman wants to become a successful climate, you can't have the support of an official. As far as Hu Xueyan, a red-top merchant in the Ming Dynasty, and as recently as Chongqing's high-ranking officials represented by the four families of Chiang, Song, Kong, and Chen, they were all officials and businessmen. Due to the Japanese economic blockade, the National Government adopted a wartime economic control policy, which undoubtedly opened the door for officials at all levels in power to seize wealth. Liu Chenglong wanted to be the commander of the Wencheng division. Many opportunities to make a fortune slipped away. I was really unwilling to do so. Now that I am fine, Zhang Fengshan took the initiative to ask. He has a solid family foundation, a wide network of contacts, and inherited the genes of several generations of doing business. If you support him again It's hard to think about prosperity or not. He is his own niece and son-in-law, and he is not an outsider. As the saying goes, "Fatty water does not flow into outsiders' fields", and then he will inevitably benefit from himself.
Liu Chenglong was floating in his heart, as if seeing Huang Cancan's pile of gold gleaming in front of him. He found a document from the table, handed it to Zhang Fengshan, and said: "Fengshan, I support your idea 100%, and I will give you a sword of Shang Fang so that you can also be a red-top businessman. This is the organization and implementation method for the establishment of economic guerrillas just issued by the Executive Yuan. The president has also given the highest instructions. Look at it."
Zhang Fengshan saw Chiang Kai-shek’s instructions on the title page: “Destroy all the economic construction of the enemy in my occupied area, keep the manpower and material resources of my war zone out of the enemy’s use, in order to crush the enemy’s conspiracy to use war to support war and China to control China. Organize economic guerrillas. Use various effective means to launch a wide range of economic guerrilla warfare in order to cooperate with military and politics to achieve the goal of victory in the war. The commander of each theater (the commander of the theater) should consult with the local party and government committee branch to be responsible for the formation For economic guerrillas, at least ten teams should be formed in each theater. The number of additional teams and the scope of their activities are determined by each theater based on the situation.
After reading this, Zhang Fengshan asked, "Commander, so Wencheng will also set up an economic guerrilla brigade?"
Liu Chenglong nodded and said: "Wencheng has convenient water and land transportation. It is a bridge and hub connecting Qing'an and Jinhuang. It is also the focus of contention between the enemy and ourselves. Commander Li instructed us to take the lead in establishing an economic guerrilla brigade. The captain of the urban economic guerrilla brigade presided over trade with the enemy-occupied areas, undermined the economy of the enemy-occupied areas, and cracked down on smuggling."
Naturally, Zhang Fengshan couldn’t ask for it. He wanted to have the golden sign of the economic guerrilla brigade. It would be much more convenient to get the scarce military supplies, and no one would dare to seize them when they were transported to the anti-Japanese base area. People dare to trouble him. Liu Chenglong, Liu Chenglong, on behalf of the people of the Anti-Japanese Base, thank you! Zhang Fengshan was overjoyed, but his face remained silent, and said, "Commander, Fengshan will definitely live up to your cultivation and mission. This is part of my reminder to honor your old man, so I considered starting a company. It’s because many of my father’s customers used money to accumulate materials and needed to use the goods to pay for the money.” Zhang Fengshan said as he took out five gold bars from his pocket and handed them to Liu Chenglong’s hands.
The smile on Liu Chenglong’s face opened up quickly, several pieces of horizontal flesh were moving irregularly, and his eyes were narrowed. He declined and said, “Your company has not opened yet. There are a lot of places to spend money. These are my congratulations, right? !"
Zhang Fengshan said: "Commander, you will show up at the opening. It is better than giving me any gift. In the future, the company will rely on your strong support. I count you and pay you dividends at the end of each year. Do you think this will work? ?"
Liu Chenglong was very happy, thinking that this kid is really good for doing business, and he doesn't need to be too stubborn, so he said, "It's easy to talk about our family's affairs."
Zhang Fengshan asked Shuisheng to convene his father's old department and choose auspicious days to open the business.
On March 30, 1940, Fuhai Trading Company was listed in the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers. Those who came to congratulate Wencheng Division Commander Liu Chenglong, Wencheng County Party Secretary Fang Jiqing, County Mayor Hu Kongzhao, and Party Affairs of An Dong Province Song Tiejun, director of the investigation office, Zhou Jin, head of the Wencheng Military Command Station, and Xu Dakai, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, are from all walks of life, including the party, government, military, and business. Zhang Fengshan hosted a banquet. During the dinner, Zhang Fengshan asked Liu Chenglong to give a calligraphy treasure to ask for auspiciousness. Knowing Zhang Fengshan's intentions, Liu Chenglong borrowed Zhong Kui to fight ghosts, so he happily swung a few words and wrote a couplet: There are many lucky stars, good fortune, and wealth.
When everyone saw it, they all applauded.
Liu Chenglong said: "I am not a talented person, and his writing is not good. I am ashamed of this class! Ashamed!"
Zhang Fengshan said: "The commander's joint is a hidden head joint, including the name of the company, and it is neat and tidy, and the meaning is beautiful. It is really wonderful! Fengshan immediately ordered people to mount it and hang it on the nave for the north and south. The merchants who are going to appreciate it."
Zhou Jin's ability to use Tongtian did not overthrow Zhang Fengshan. After the list turmoil, Liu Chenglong looked for Zhou Jin and said that the matter ended here. If Zhang Fengshan has a long history and two shortcomings, he would ask him. Liu Chenglong also set up a banquet to let them clear their suspicions. Later, Liu Chenglong disbanded the academic team, which helped Zhou Jin to save some face, but he and Zhang Fengshan were still at odds with each other.
