When Xu Rui stood on the steps and spoke, two people were looking at him indifferently in the crowd below. ． %m
One of these two people is Wang Jiageng, a battalion commander of the 87th Division, and the other is Lu Deming, a platoon leader under Wang Jiageng. In the third stage of the Songhu Battle, Yanagawa Heisuke's Tenth Army climbed to the Jinshan Guards, and Song The Nationalist Army on the battlefield in Shanghai suffered a crushing defeat. At that time, Wang Jiageng was seriously injured and was recovering in a field hospital.
As a result, once the frontline troops were defeated, the situation was completely chaotic, and all the wounded were abandoned.
Fortunately, Wang Jiageng's adjutant Lu Deming was also injured at the time and was recovering in the same hospital. Moreover, Lu Deming's injury was relatively minor, so they quickly found a stretcher and dragged Wang Jiageng towards Nanjing, but he passed out not far away. Fortunately, a group of refugees passed by at this time and carried them back to the concession.
In the refugee camp in the public concession, Wang Jiageng could only clean his wounds with salt water every day. However, he survived under such harsh conditions. Half a month later, Wang Jiageng recovered from his injuries. Lu Deming proposed to go back to the army, but Wang Jiageng firmly refused. , his heart was already cold, and he no longer wanted to be a soldier.
The most important thing is that Wang Jiageng is married and his younger sister is studying in Shanghai.
Wang Jiageng stayed in Shanghai, first pulling dung trucks, then pulling rickshaws, and finally found connections to work as a loader at Huishan Pier. He could earn three cents and five cents a day. At least he could still survive. In such a troubled world, it is extremely difficult for people to survive, and Wang Jiageng is content.
"Bah, this traitor!" Lu Deming said bitterly.
"Xiao Ming, be careful of trouble coming from your mouth." Wang Jiageng quickly stopped him.
Lu Deming remained silent, but his eyes still showed deep hatred. Unlike Wang Jiageng, Lui Deming's heart was not cold, his heart was still warm. If it weren't for Wang Jiageng, he would have gone back to the rear to find his old troops. , if that were the case, he might have died somewhere long ago.
On the steps, Xu Rui's lecture continued.
Xu Rui said: "Although I am not talented, I have just been appointed as the deputy mayor of Shanghai by His Excellency Itagaki. Before today, I had a deep understanding of all kinds of chaos on the beach. I found that theft and robbery were common on the beach. It is running rampant and does not have the prosperity and stability that an international metropolis should have, so I decided to rectify the industry!"
"Industry rectification? How to rectify it?"
"What kind of bullshit industry rectification is there, it's not about making money."
"That's right, it's not like no one has done it before. He and Fu Xiao'an are just the same."
"It's tragic. We are afraid that we will bleed again. We have just been raided by the previous mayor Fu Xiao'an, and now we are being raided by this traitor again. This life is really unbearable."
After Xu Rui finished speaking, there was an uproar at the bottom of the steps.
Lu Deming even said bitterly: "Brother Wang, how about I find an opportunity to do him?"
Lu Deming is still very confident in his own skills. He was the famous spear king of the 87th Division back then! There were more than 9,000 people in the Eighty-seventh Division, and only Wang Jiageng was better than him.
"Shut up!" Wang Jiageng's face changed slightly and he lowered his voice and said, "Just be content."
After a pause, Wang Jiageng whispered again: "No matter how much we plunder, we can still have food to eat. As you said on the paper, how many wives have been separated and families have been destroyed? Just be satisfied."
Lu Deming said angrily: "But if we live like this, what's the difference between us and salted fish?"
"Then what else do you want?" Wang Jiageng asked, "If you don't want to be a salted fish, what do you want to be? A shark?"
"I don't want to be a shark, I just want to resist the Japanese and fight the Japanese!" Lu Deming said angrily, "Bingzhuo, just come with me. We'd better go find the troops. It's better to die fighting than to live cowardly like this. It's more fun on the battlefield. I don't want to live a day like this. Yingzuo, come with me!"
Lu Deming was anxious, so instead of calling him Brother Wang, he directly called Yingzuo.
Fortunately, the surroundings were very noisy and no one listened to them.
Wang Jiageng frowned and said, "You can go if you want, but I won't go anyway."
"What's wrong with you in the camp?" Lu Deming said anxiously, "How passionate were you before? I remember what you said to us new recruits the day we first entered the military camp. You said that as a soldier, when You are proud to die in battle and wrapped in horse leather, and you are ashamed to be greedy for life and afraid of death. Now...how can you still be the same as before?"
Wang Jiageng's eyes suddenly glowed with a spark of light, but soon, the sparkle disappeared again.
With a sigh, Wang Jiageng shook his head and said: "Xiao Ming, I have been on dozens of battlefields for the country, and I have been injured seven or eight times for the country. I no longer owe the country anything. Next, I just want to fight for myself." I have relatives, a wife and children who need my care, and I must consider them."
The look in Lu Deming's eyes dimmed and he fell silent.
Half an hour later, Liang Wuyi on the stage finally finished speaking and was invited to the office for tea by the manager of the terminal company. Then several agents came to register all the stevedores. After registration, they would give them a new number. The license plate is said to facilitate centralized management. Once a stevedore commits an offense, it can be easily found.
However, this number plate is not given for free. Each person has to pay ten yuan.
Ten yuan is almost two months of hard-earned money for these stevedores!
The stevedores immediately quit their job after hearing this, clamoring not to get new number plates, but how could Broadway's agents be so kind? Anyone who dared to take the lead in resisting the seizure would be whipped with a whip. Now Lu Deming, who was among the crowd, was really gone. He immediately grabbed the whip and knocked the three agents responsible for registration to the ground.
Upon seeing this, the vigilant spies immediately surrounded them. Immediately afterwards, a conflict broke out in the dock square. However, when more spies came from the outside of the square and pressed with the black muzzles of their guns, the stevedores who caused the trouble could only He was captured without restraint, then put on a truck and taken to the Broadway Building.
Wang Jiageng did not participate in the fight, so he was not arrested.
With such a commotion, the dock could no longer operate normally, and the dock manager immediately announced that work would be closed.
Wang Jiageng returned home in despair, but all he could think about was Lu Deming's question to him before he was taken away: Do you really want to continue like this, living like a salted fish
Asking himself, Wang Jiageng felt extremely confused.
Is it wrong to live like a salted fish? I want to stay to protect my wife, children, and sister. Is this wrong? I have been wounded and shed blood for the country and the nation, and now I want to live for myself. Is this wrong? Wang Jiageng wanted to convince himself that he was right, but deep down in his heart, he felt deeper and deeper guilt and pain.
With great confusion, Wang Jiageng walked into the house in despair. Then he heard the silver bell-like laughter of his sister Wang Jiayi, and the murmur of his wife teasing the child. As soon as he heard this sound, Wang Jiageng immediately put aside all his worries. The confusion and confusion were left behind, and a deep happiness and sweetness surged in my heart.
Although Wang Jiageng became the battalion commander of the National Army, he had no savings. After leaving the army, he could only make a living by working hard, so he could only rent a shabby house deep in the most claustrophobic alley to settle down. However, although the house Although it is broken, it is greatly enhanced by the two beautiful hostesses.
The furnishings in the house are very simple. A curtain separates the single room into two rooms, the front and back. The first half serves as the living room and kitchen, and the second half serves as the bedroom. My sister Wang Jiayi is washing vegetables and washing rice outside, preparing to make lunch. The curtain has been raised. So you can put a wooden bed in the middle.
Wang Jiageng's wife Yang Yuxi was lying on her side on the wooden bed, holding her one-month-old son in her arms.
Wang Jiageng, Yang Yuxi's predecessor, asked in surprise: "Jiageng, why did you leave work so early?"
Wang Jiayi, who was washing rice, turned around when she heard the sound and saw Wang Jiageng. Her face was full of surprise: "Brother, you are back."
"Well, there is not much work on the dock today, so the manager gave us half a day off." Wang Jiageng did not tell his wife and sister about what happened on the dock. Telling such things would only make his wife and sister worried. He could just carry it alone, so why should he tell his family
"Brother, you're in for a treat." Wang Jiayi said with a smile, "I just made crucian carp soup for my sister-in-law. It's a big can. My sister-in-law can't finish it by herself. You should drink some too."
"I won't drink any more. If there's too much, you can drink it yourself. It's time for you to replenish your brain when you go to school." Wang Jiageng walked to the bed and sat down, teasing his infant son, who was just one month old. He immediately opened his mouth and smiled sweetly. His smile made Wang Jiageng feel four ounces lighter, and he suddenly felt that no matter how much hardship he endured, it was all worth it.
The brother was there teasing his little nephew. Wang Jiayi endured it, but finally couldn't hold it back and said, "Brother, guess what I did this morning, it was really interesting."
Wang Jiageng smiled and said, "Besides going to school, what else can you do?"
"Look at what you said, I am already an adult, okay?" Wang Jiayi pouted and said, "This morning I went to the streets with my classmates for a parade. The patrol officer originally wanted to arrest us, but you Guess what? The patrol battalion sent a large group of officers and soldiers and beat away all the patrol officers in the patrol room."
Wang Jiageng's brows immediately tightened and he asked, "Are you taking to the streets to parade?"
"Yeah." Wang Jiayi nodded and said, "As a student with a sense of justice, responsibility and mission, we must make our own voice and give the patrol battalion the strongest support for its just behavior! We must work with the patrol battalion, Fight against the Western powers until we finally take back the control of the concession!"
"Nonsense!" Wang Jiageng's face immediately darkened, "As a student, your biggest task now is to study honestly and learn more knowledge! You don't need to worry about the things you said."
