In an age when both spiritual and material resources were very scarce, people on Fengqi Street were most interested in those sexy news, ranging from anecdotes about Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling, to a group of male dogs surrounding a female dog and calling them Donkey Tavern.

There are endless anecdotes. Even Soong Meiling was arguing about what kind of pants she should wear. People in remote villages can say anything. No one pulls their hair. They don't understand what "political intention" is. Anyway, they just do it for fun.

Just be happy.

But at that time, the most talked about among idle people was Er Ni. Throughout the ages, there were many men who sacrificed their lives for righteousness. There were many popular martial arts legends, but it was rare for women to sacrifice their lives for righteousness, especially to save others.

Deliberately pouring a basin of dirty water on oneself, this behavior is admirable. There were ten thousand soldiers at the foot of Bijia Mountain that day. Those soldiers woke up from the initial shock and gave a deafening shout: "Long live Ernie."

"! This is the highest compliment for an unknown woman, and the shouts went straight to the sky! The soldiers raised their hands and saluted in unison, showing their piety to their idol. Commander Song stood on the earth platform and looked a little embarrassed.

Then he walked up to Erni and stretched out his hands to shake Erni's hand. Erni didn't know what Commander Song wanted to do, so she hid her beautiful hands behind her back, bowed to Commander Song, and walked over to stand with the tied-up soldier.

Together. The people in Fengqi City here were also in chaos, asking Commander Song to release the people. The twelve capable men stomped up to the earth platform, touched the head of Erni, the chivalrous girl, and said: "Don't be afraid, my child.

Grandpa will accompany you to death." He also read a Tang poem: "Died before leaving the army, which makes the hero burst into tears." The soldier who was about to be shot suddenly knelt down and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Give me

In one life, I will kill a hundred Japanese pirates!" Over the Loess Plateau, the majestic "March of the Volunteers" resounded: "Rise up, people who don't want to be slaves, use our flesh and blood to build our new Great Wall

!…”

Commander Song never expected that the scene of the shooting would turn into a denunciation. Everyone was filled with indignation and denounced the crimes of the Japanese. Commander Song had no choice but to comply with the public sentiment and let the soldier go. The soldiers and people in the audience cheered. I don’t know who

He called out the soldier's name: "Liu Qilai, good job! Hug Erni and give her a kiss!" Liu Qilai had just escaped from death and did not dare to move again. But Erni looked calm and generous and walked away.

He came to Liu Qilai and said, "I've become like this. No one will want me anymore. I risked my life to save you for my own sake. Just tell me in front of so many people whether you dare to marry me or not."

Be a wife”?

Liu Qilai hesitated for a moment and knelt down again facing Commander Song: "Commander Song, I risk my life to beg you, please allow me to marry Erni. After marriage, I will still be your soldier. From now on, I will fight wherever you point me.

There is absolutely no selfishness on the battlefield!" The soldiers cheered in unison again: "In line with the people's wishes, promise! Promise!! Promise!"!!!

Commander Song personally helped Liu Qilai up and comforted him: "I don't have the final say on this matter alone. I will ask Deputy Commander Zhang (Zhang Xueliang) for instructions later and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." Then, Commander Song faced the audience of 10,000 people.

Many soldiers and civilians made speeches: "Today, we released Liu Qilai, but it does not mean that we will allow soldiers to violate laws and disciplines, rape civilian girls, and prey on civilians. Military law will not tolerate it! Soldiers have to obey orders as their bounden duty. Our ultimate goal is to obey orders."

The goal is to drive out Japanese pirates and help China. In order to achieve this goal, there must be iron discipline! Now, let me start, let's sing a song: chop off the heads of the Japanese with a big knife..."

It was an era of rapid change, and no one could predict what would happen tomorrow. The topic of the Donkey Tavern was also changing rapidly. In the past few days, it was widely rumored that the county magistrate personally expropriated two hundred acres of land in the east of the city and planned to build a military

The airport. In those days, the local garrison represented everything. People could no longer remember who the county magistrate was, but the annual grain and military recruitment notices were stamped with the county magistrate’s big red seal. Since ancient times, the imperial grain and national taxes have been ingrained in the hearts of the people.

No one can be spared from this errand. But there is a big trick in the conscription. According to the regulations, one out of every two sons will be selected. However, no matter how many sons a rich family has, they will not join the army. Even a son from a poor family will be drafted.

Qu Faxiang said it well. This society has been unfair since ancient times. Why are you talking about such nonsense? The county government's treatment of the people in Fengqi is quite liberal. Whether it is conscription or food requisition, they turn a blind eye.

Eyes, Fengqi is a fortress in the north, guarding the throat of Chang'an, and now it has become the front line for Chairman Chiang Kai-shek to attack the Red Army in northern Shaanxi. Compared with other places, the people here enjoy relatively generous treatment and have a good family.

There are many families with more than two sons, and most of them have not been drafted into the army. No matter which government they are, they know how to appease the people. The people's feelings in Fengqi are related to the overall situation, and the people in power understand this.

Let’s talk about land expropriation. There is an Minliang Road in the east of the city, which is said to be the place where the Qin Dynasty general Bai Qi appeased the people. The Qin Zhidao passes through the beam and connects Chang’an and Yulin City, a frontier fortress. Fusu once trained his troops here.

Therefore, Shang'an Minliang is also called Jiaochangping. The terrain there is flat and flat, making it an ideal place to build an airport. Fengqi people have only seen cars for a few years, but now they can see airplanes. I heard that the airplanes are bigger than eagles.

Much bigger, people can fly in the sky by riding on an airplane. I also heard that the "flying chicken" eats nails and iron, and is as invulnerable as Sun Wukong. Anyway, the airport was specially built for Deputy Commander Zhang. I heard that Deputy Commander Zhang

The commander came to Fengqi this time specifically to negotiate with the Communist Party, and the content of the negotiations was related to the attack on Japan.

People in Fengqi don't care about Deputy Commander Zhang's negotiations with the Communist Party. What everyone is concerned about is whether General Zhang Xueliang's wife, Miss Zhao Si, will come with her? I heard that Miss Zhao Si is much prettier than Chiang's wife, Soong Meiling. For this reason, Chairman Chiang was once jealous.

, wanted to exchange wives with Deputy Commander Zhang, but Deputy Commander Zhang refused. In anger, Chairman Chiang demoted Deputy Commander Zhang to Fengqi... Lies do not have wings, but they spread very quickly. When the construction of the airport started, Qu Kesheng

The old man returned to his hometown and was able to visit his old classmates. During the chat, the matter of Chairman Chiang and Deputy Commander Zhang exchanging wives came up. Mr. Qu pursed his lips and smiled, and then said seriously: "That's nonsense! This is what the villagers are talking about.

Damn it! This is a slander against Chairman Chiang’s personality! It cannot be believed to be true!" Seeing that Mr. Qu was really angry, Twelve Neng laughed at himself: "This mouth deserves a beating."

Let’s get back to the subject, let’s talk about the construction of the airport. At that time, the crops were not yet mature, and hundreds of acres of green crops had to be plowed. Although they promised to compensate, the farmers looked distressed and couldn’t do it. That morning, two trees came out in unison.

A battalion of soldiers, each holding a shovel in their hands, were ready to shovel the green seedlings. People from several nearby villages surrounded the soldiers. Because the compensation had not yet been paid, the villagers confronted the soldiers to protect the young seedlings.

The county magistrate rushed to the scene immediately after hearing the news. The county magistrate back then had no position or power. He was really a sesame tofu official. He would punish whoever wanted to be punished and pinch anyone who wanted to. Just now, Commander Song pointed at the county magistrate's nose and taught him a lesson.

: "The airport must start construction today, and no conflicts with farmers are allowed." The county magistrate is aware of the farmers' reasons for protecting the youth, and is worried that he will not be able to get compensation. This obviously puts the county magistrate in a difficult position. He wants the horse to run, but also wants the horse to not

Eating grass, there is such a thing in the world! After hearing the news, the county magistrate rushed to the scene and bowed to the farmers: "Uncles, aunties, ladies and gentlemen, I guarantee with my personality that the compensation will be in place"!

A farmer asked: "How much does your 'personality' weigh? How much is it worth? We know you won't cause trouble, so don't lie down on the dung heap and pretend to be a big dog. We want Commander Song to speak out."

After dilly-dallying until the afternoon, Commander Song saw that the county magistrate was indeed powerless, and finally spoke up: "We have decided to rent 200 acres of land in Anminliang for a tentative period of five years, and we will be compensated with two stones of wheat for each acre of land."

In fact, after the airport was built, it was only used once, and one plane took off and landed. General Zhang Xueliang took a plane to Fengqi County for the first and only time, and had a meeting with Zhou Enlai, then Vice Chairman of the Communist Party of China, as scheduled. That meeting was very important.

, strengthened General Zhang Xueliang's determination to resist Japan to the end, and laid the foundation for future military remonstrances in Chang'an.

On the second day after General Zhang Xueliang came to Fengqi, Fengqi Street suddenly had a melodious music, and the soldiers' Yangko team took to the streets to perform again. There was only one woman in the whole Yangko team, that was Erni. The men were all dressed in Manchu clothes.

Among the clothes, only Erni was dressed as a Han woman, with a red silk jacket and pleated skirt, and her hair tied up in a high bun. She stood among the men, twisting backwards, and the soldiers looked at Erni's pink face.

The steps under my feet are enthusiastic and neat.

However, General Zhang Xueliang did not show up in Fengqi, because the Nanjing government did not know about that meeting, and even Chairman Chiang Kai-shek was deceived. The meeting was held under strict confidentiality. I heard that as soon as the meeting ended, General Zhang immediately flew back to Chang'an.

.

The Donkey Tavern has become a topic of discussion again. It is said that when Chairman Chiang Kai-shek was the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy, Zhou Enlai was the director of the political department of the Whampoa Military Academy. One time, the two of them were playing chess.

Chairman Chiang had nowhere to hide, and saw that Chairman Chiang was losing every game, so Chiang Kai-shek cheated and simply took the veteran general and put it in his pocket. I see how you, Old Zhou, can play this game without a veteran general?! Zhou Enlai laughed it off.

, I felt that Chiang Kai-shek was sneaky, jealous, and difficult to get along with, so he joined the Communist Party and specifically opposed Chiang Kai-shek.

Fengqi people are good at making up political jokes, so they must not be taken seriously. It is not known whether Zhou Enlai can play chess. After the liberation of the country, a foreigner said this about Zhou Enlai, saying that if Chiang Kai-shek could retain Zhou Enlai as a talent, the Nanjing government might

Will not collapse...

No matter what the people say, since the negotiation between General Zhang Xueliang and Zhou Enlai, the north-south commercial corridor has been reopened, and the camel team from Inner Mongolia can be seen in the large mule and horse shop outside the east gate. It seems that the situation has eased a lot. Sometimes

You can also see Communist Party liaison officers appearing on the streets of Fengqi.
