Chapter 44, Forty-Nine Cities Change Flags

On January 31, 1949, not long after the New Year, the ancient Forty-Nine City received good news again.

After several rounds of arduous negotiations, Sijiucheng was declared peacefully liberated, and our red army entered the city to take over the defense.

Boom, boom, boom, this early in the morning, before Jiang Yan got up, there was a knock on his door.

"Who is it?" Jiang Yan asked towards the door.

"Boss, get up quickly, hurry up, if you go late you won't be able to find a good seat."

He Yuzhu's sound like breaking came from outside the door.

Hearing this voice, Jiang Yan's head flashed. We had discussed it in the courtyard yesterday to see the army enter the city today, but what happened at dawn this morning? Are you so anxious?

Jiang Yan scolded He Yuzhu himself, but he did not slow down and quickly put on the clothes that grandma had prepared.

When he opened the door and took a look, he saw He Yuzhu and Xu Damao holding a small red flag in their hands, their faces flushed with excitement.

"How come it's just you two and them!"

"They haven't gotten up yet! We called you, the boss, first." When He Yuzhu said this, he looked at Jiang Yan, as if he was coming to praise me.

Looking at the newly polished sky outside, Jiang Yan gritted his teeth and said to He Yuzhu, "You two are really kind to me."

"Si Zhu, go and get me some wash water," Jiang Yan said, pointing to the iron kettle on the fireplace.

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, He Yuzhu went to get it without hesitation.

After washing up, Jiang Yan's anger was mostly gone. He kicked Xu Damao and He Yuzhu each and said, "Go and eat."

Seeing He Yuzhu open his mouth and was about to say something, he glared at He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu immediately shut up. The two of them followed Jiang Yan to Grandma Lu's house to have breakfast.

After breakfast, Jiang Yan helped Grandma Lu out of her home. Grandma Lu looked very excited today and even dressed up specially. Her silver hair was neatly combed and neatly taken care of. Even her body was covered with hair.

Wearing the clothes Jiang Yan specially made for him from Ruifuxiang.

Jiang Yan originally thought that Grandma Lu was the only one dressed very solemnly, but after arriving at the gate of the courtyard, she discovered that almost all the people in the courtyard who were watching the army entering the city were wearing new clothes and holding small red flags in their hands.

On this day, the leading troops of the Red Army entered the city from Xizhimen, Deshengmen and Fuxingmen of Sijiu City.

After entering the city, they connected with the original national troops for defense.

At around 12 o'clock at noon, a large army with neat military appearance and majestic momentum entered the Forty-Nine City from Xizhimen.

At the head of the army were several cars, on top of which were placed portraits of great men, commander-in-chief and prime minister.

Jiang Yan squeezed into the crowd and waved the small flag in his hand desperately, his eyes blurred with tears, and he repeated in a voice that only he could hear, "This is a civilized and mighty army.

"

Now Jiang Yan wished he had a camera to take pictures of everything he saw.

Several days have passed since the army entered the city. In the past few days, Jiang Yan, Siheyuan and his group of little brothers have been busy outside, voluntarily participating in the garbage cleanup work.

After the People's Government took over Sijiu City, it began to clean up the garbage left in the city.

You must know that there are 300,000 tons of garbage in the city at this time. This does not include the garbage in the Forbidden City. There are still 200,000 tons piled in the Forbidden City. Otherwise, how would Tian Zao lead his children to pick up garbage.

What is the concept of more than 500,000 tons of garbage? To put it simply, the area of ​​Peiping at that time was a little more than 700 square kilometers and the population was nearly 2 million. If the 500,000 tons of garbage were divided, it would be two kilograms per square meter of land.

Each person had to carry 300 kilograms of garbage. It can be said that the people of Sijiu City at that time had been living in a huge garbage dump.

The garbage in these four-nine cities is not only abundant but also has existed for a long time. The earliest garbage can be traced back to the late Qing Dynasty.

As soon as Jiang Yan came back for lunch that day, a military vehicle came outside the courtyard. The military vehicle stopped at the entrance of the courtyard, and several heavily armed men walked down from it.

When the people in the courtyard saw these soldiers with guns in their hands, they didn't know what was going on. One by one, they were so frightened that they dared not speak out. They looked at the soldiers who came into the courtyard with trembling eyes.

Aren't you afraid? This group of people, the soldiers when the army entered the city, were not familiar with each other at all.

While everyone was wondering what to do, He Yuzhu ran out of the house, walked around the soldier, and looked up and down curiously.

This move of He Yuzhu scared the adults in the courtyard. Especially He Daqing, who was trembling with fear.

However, he naturally suppressed his fear and walked out, pulled He Yuzhu behind him, and quickly explained to the leader who came, "Master Jun's child is ignorant and ignorant. You, sir, have a lot of people. I don't know that Master Jun is such a person."

If you have anything to do next time, as long as we can do it, just ask."

"Dad, you called me wrong. You shouldn't be called Jun Ye, you should be called Comrade." He Yuzhu hid behind He Daqing and said.

"This kid still knows how to call you comrade. Who taught you this?" the instructor of our army touched He Yuzhu's head and said cheerfully.

He Yuzhu has been working outside with Jiang Yan these days. During the process, Jiang Yan often instilled in his ears that the People's Army is a mighty and civilized force. Naturally, he knew how to call it.

"My boss told me." He Yuzhu spoke proudly.

"Who is your boss?" the instructor of our army asked again.

"My boss's name is Jiang Yan. Let me tell you, my boss knows a lot. He often finds stories for us!"

"Then do you know where your boss lives? Can you take me to meet your boss?"

"Okay, okay, the boss is in the backyard, I will take you there." After saying that, He Yuzhu walked towards the backyard with these soldiers on his short legs.

As soon as a few soldiers left, everyone in the courtyard exploded.

"I knew this man was a troublemaker. Sooner or later, what he did outside would be known to others. Just look! Someone is going to deal with him now, and I don't know if it will implicate us." This Jia Zhang family

The first one spoke.

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, someone immediately responded, "Yes, yes, I don't know if it will implicate us."

"Boss, open the door, someone is looking for you." Jiang Yan, who had just finished eating and was about to take a rest, heard the voice of He Yuzhu.

"Who's looking for me! Silly Zhu, if you dare to lie to me, be careful with your skin." Jiang Yan couldn't stop sleeping, so he opened the door of his room with a curse.

The person behind He Yuzhu was stunned when he saw him, and he quickly said happily: "Captain Ma, why are you here?"

Captain Ma was also very happy to see Jiang Yan, "Xiao Yan, you have grown taller again, and our troops have also entered the city. Our captain is worried about you and sent me over to see you."

"Where's Captain Hao! Didn't he come?" Jiang Yan asked.

This Captain Ma was a member of the previous advance team and was Hao Pingchuan's subordinate. In those days, besides Hao Pingchuan taking him to play, Captain Ma took him the most, and the two of them were relatively familiar with each other.

"Our captain went to study, but maybe he will also come to the city, I just don't know when."

Hearing Captain Ma's words, Jiang Yan remembered that in the "Glory Era", there was a period where Hao Pingchuan and Zheng Chaoyang learned about it. This guy should probably work in the police station when he comes back.
