When Su Yuan passed by Qin Yue who was tied up, he saw her staring at him with anger. Su Yuan apologized a little. He followed her because he was using her, and he didn't expect that she would be implicated. He stepped forward to prepare for her.
He untied the rope and said to Qin Zhongyue: "Since you treat me as a guest, then give me face and let her go without punishment. I would still have found this place even without her."
"She violated the village rules!" Qin Zhongyue said: "I am his father, and I cannot show favoritism."
"What are you doing? You secretly arrested our anti-Japanese soldiers. According to the national law, you are still undermining the anti-Japanese united front policy." Su Yuan immediately replied: "Is the country bigger or your village bigger? In terms of the mistakes you made, you are bigger."
Su Yuan couldn't help but stepped forward to untie Qin Yue's body, and no one stopped him. Although Qin Zhongyue wanted to stop him, the other two elders came over to persuade him.
Su Yuan took out Qin Yue's dagger from his waist and handed it to her. Qin Yue grabbed it and said angrily: "I see you are very honest, but I didn't expect it was all a lie. I won't accept your favor."
"Ha, I don't know good people's hearts." Su Yuan replied nonchalantly.
Su Yuan followed the three elders to the meeting hall in the village. Before he could bring up the matter of the wounded, Qin Zhongyue had already ordered the people waiting outside the door: "Go and take care of the captured wounded and let the doctors
Show them their injuries."
"Yes." The person at the door responded immediately. It seems that these three people do have absolute authority here, Su Yuan thought.
After sitting down, the three of them didn't wait for Su Yuan to say more. They first asked about the situation outside. It seemed that they knew nothing about the past three hundred years, such as the demise of the Ming Dynasty and the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, as well as the invasion of imperialism and the Republic of China.
The people who built this place until the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War knew nothing.
Su Yuan could only speak in general terms. He started with Li Zicheng, who was well known here, "You all know Li Zicheng. After he occupied Beijing, Chongzhen hanged himself on a coal mountain. However, Li Zicheng was robbed by him before he could sit down in Beijing.
His daughter-in-law Wu Sangui led the Qing troops into the pass, and Li Zicheng was defeated by Dorgon. Later, the Qing Dynasty ruled China for more than 260 years, until Mr. Sun Yat-sen led the Revolution of 1911 to overthrow the rule of the Manchu Emperor. Now it is the Republic of China, a republic.
Republic of China."
"Then why is there always a war outside?" Qin Zhongyue asked.
"It's like this. After the death of the thief Yuan Shikai, China fell into a warlord melee. The Zhili, Feng, and Anhui cliques all fought together. Later, there was the Central Plains War between Jiang Gui, Feng Yan, and these warlords were mortal enemies of our Red Army, which conquered the world for the common people.
, until the Japanese invaded, in terms of national justice, we finally gave up the grievances we had for many years and united to fight against Japan."
"Are these devils so powerful that a country as big as ours can't defeat them?" an elder asked in confusion.
"Then, the reason why the Manchu Qing Dynasty has ruled China for so many years is that, firstly, we Han people are not allowed to have independent troops, secondly, they rely on literary inquisition to control thoughts, and thirdly, they close the country in isolation." Su Yuan explained: "Nearly a hundred years ago, the British army was in
Before the capture of Zhenjiang, the Manchu generals who led them massacred the common people, and nearly a thousand people were beheaded. The reason was that they took refuge and disturbed the morale of the army, so who would help them. Also, the Literary Prison suppressed people's thoughts, which made Chinese technology
Without development, the country was closed to the outside world and had no access to foreign advanced technology. Therefore, the backward China could not withstand the aggression of foreign enemies in modern times. Subsequently, it signed many unequal treaties that ceded territory, paid indemnities, lost rights and humiliated the country."
Su Yuan's words shocked these people who had been here during the Ming Dynasty. In their view, China was very powerful during the Ming Dynasty. An elder said: "I remember the old people said that Qi Jiguang fought against the Japanese in the Ming Dynasty.
Not long before we moved here, we defeated the Japanese invaders at sea with Korea, how could this happen now?"
"Of course, the Japanese invaders saw that we were not united and wanted to take advantage of it. This country is poor and weak. What is scary is that the internal fighting for our own interests gives the enemy an opportunity. If we are united, how dare the little devils hold swords and spears?
Bully us!" Su Yuan said intentionally.
His words made the three elders fall into deep thought. Yes, our ancestors used to hide in the mountains to avoid civil strife in the country, but now the country is facing the invasion of foreign enemies. Every Chinese should take up the weapons in their hands to resist foreign humiliation.
.
The three elders were interested and began to ask about the Eighth Route Army led by the Communist Party that Su Yuan had joined. Seeing their excitement, Su Yuan immediately explained: "We are the workers' and peasants' revolutionary armed forces. We used to be the workers' and peasants' Red Army. We are a
The people's armed forces, in order to resist the war, we have reorganized into the government's Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army."
"Isn't that the same as the previous peasant rebellions!" Su Yuan's words made the three of them wary. It's no wonder that most of the peasant uprisings in the past are for their own interests, and the people here are not unfavorable.
"It's different. We have a program, policies, party leadership, and represent the interests of the people." Su Yuan said, "I will ask our instructor to explain it to you when I have the opportunity."
"With Master Su's family background, how come you joined the Eighth Route Army? Also, where did you learn Shaolin martial arts?" Qin Zhongyue asked. He only knew a little about Su Yuan's explanation, so he wanted to understand more deeply from Su Yuan's experience.
.
"That's right, I learned martial arts from Master Kongming of Shaolin Temple, and later I learned shooting. The Japs were aggressive, so I joined the government army at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, at Marco Polo Bridge..." Su Yuan said, everyone in Marco Polo Bridge knows this
, they nodded and heard, "Our 29th Army first resisted the all-out war launched by the Japs. Then I lost contact with the troops after the interruption of the Xuzhou Battle. The central government traded space for time. The large troops evacuated, and I stayed behind."
We encountered the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines. Now we are fighting the Japanese invaders behind enemy lines, and we have received support from the armed forces of Qinglong Mountain in Feiyun Mountain, and are preparing to establish an anti-Japanese base area in this area. This time the Japanese attacked us, and we were forced to evacuate the wounded to
Deep in the mountains, I don’t want to meet you.”
"You have courage and knowledge, good!" everyone replied, and an elder said: "You can see from Master Su's actions that he is brave in fighting, even bandits can listen to you, and he is willing to take risks alone for this wounded person, and
You are a disciple of the Shaolin Master, so we are assured of you."
"That's good, it's not a waste of time for me to come." Su Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's have a banquet and entertain the national heroes." Qin Zhongyue ordered.
Before the banquet started, Su Yuan went to see the wounded. When the wounded saw his arrival, they felt moved and relieved.
During the dinner, Su Yuan arrived here with injuries and continuous battles. He was already quite exhausted. He had been holding on for a long time, and now he felt a little relaxed. After drinking a few glasses of wine, Su Yuan felt a little nervous.
Unable to stand it any longer, Qin Zhongyue and others noticed that Su Yuan was seriously injured, but he could persist until now.
The three elders looked at each other, and then Qin Zhongyue shouted: "Yue'er, help Young Master Su go down and rest."
"I'm really sorry." Su Yuan said apologetically.
"It's us who should apologize." The three elders replied. After Su Yuan left with Qin Yue, the three of them said: "If he can spend tonight as we want, then we can feel relieved.
"
"Yes." Qin Zhongyue said: "When the time comes, we will not only release him, but also give him the greatest help, and even send people to follow him to fight the Japanese."
