"Surround me up." When he saw Sun Liansheng walking into the military camp, Captain Huang looked like he was jealous of enemies. The soldiers of the garrison raised their rifles and pointed them at Sun Liansheng and the others as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
There was a loud sound of pulling the bolt, pushing the bullet and loading the gun. Sun Liansheng's soldiers were not to be outdone and leveled their rifles, but their number was smaller. In terms of numbers, the garrison had the advantage, and Huang San was
Two light machine guns were also set up on the side.
"Captain Huang, calm down, you have to calm down." The county magistrate Zhou Peilin, who was forced to come here by Sun Liansheng, looked helpless. However, when the two sides were about to have a fight, he, the magistrate of Macheng, still had to come forward to persuade him.
Glancing at the expressionless Sun Liansheng beside him, Zhou Peilin secretly cursed him as a troublemaker. The Huang family's reputation in Macheng was not low, and the garrison had just captured two Japanese spies. No one with any brains would believe that the Huang family was collaborating with the enemy.
"County Magistrate Zhou, my Huang family has been in Macheng for more than 20 years. Have you ever heard that my Huang family bullies men, women, and the villagers? Have I, Huang Hanju, done anything to regret the elders of Macheng? Over the years, I, Huang, have built bridges and paved roads in Macheng.
My family is always the first to donate money, have you heard me complain?" Faced with these questions from Commander Huang, Zhou Peilin, with a grimace, could only shake his head repeatedly. A large number of people had gathered at the entrance of the military camp to watch the fun.
Macheng people, what can Zhou Peilin say in front of these people? The Huang family has a very good reputation in Macheng.
"Since my Huang family still has a good reputation in Macheng, let me ask you, why did Sun Liansheng go to the county government to accuse me of collaborating with the enemy, and you brought people to my military camp? Are you going to arrest me and put me in jail?" Huang
The commander almost shouted these words at the top of his lungs, and the sound was loud enough for the people of Macheng at the entrance of the military camp to hear. The news that the Huang family had collaborated with the enemy was like a bombshell that instantly detonated the crowd outside the military camp. Commander Huang
She personally led people to exterminate several groups of bandits around Macheng, and also captured two Japanese spies hiding in Macheng. Mrs. Huang was born in a scholarly family, and she was polite and courteous. How could the Huang family collaborate with the enemy?
The noise outside the military camp became louder and louder, and more and more people from Macheng gathered at the entrance of the military camp. Beads of sweat began to appear on Zhou Peilin's face. Sun Liansheng, who was standing next to him, also looked ugly. Relying on his own power,
, Sun Liansheng was used to being arrogant and domineering and pointing fingers at people he didn't like, but he didn't expect that he was just the leader of a small local defense regiment, but he was forced into such an embarrassing situation.
"Company Commander Sun, you are the one who caused this. You can handle it yourself. There is nothing I can do." Seeing that the crowd at the entrance of the military camp was about to explode, Zhou Peilin could not stand with Sun Liansheng. He did not wait for Sun Liansheng to reply.
Suddenly, Zhou Peilin had already led a few people from the county government to side with Captain Huang. "Lianchang Sun, you are the one who said everything. You said that there is evidence to prove that the Huang family is collaborating with the enemy. So, now you will
Bring out the evidence." Now that he has made his position clear, Zhou Peilin no longer has a good look at Sun Liansheng. He is just a small company commander. Zhou Peilin, who also has backstage support, really can't see Sun Liansheng in his eyes.
.
"Company Commander Sun, since you keep saying that the Huang family is collaborating with the enemy, then you should bring out the evidence. If you can't give me an explanation for the Huang family, then let's go to Wuhan now, and I will go to your Second Army to find out." Huang
The regiment leader was now unreasonable and took a few steps forward to pull Sun Liansheng out from the group of soldiers of the 71st Army. He knew that Sun Liansheng had a backing, but his Huang family was not a white man. His Macheng garrison
The position of group leader cannot be bought by just having money. Without strong backstage connections, such a good thing will not come to him.
Sun Liansheng, who was riding a tiger, looked stiffly at the hundreds of Macheng people gathered at the entrance of the military camp. It was true that he had a gun in his hand, but he couldn't just shoot at the people casually. Besides, the Macheng people gathered here were not alone.
Two, but hundreds of people. "Tie them all up, and we will go to Wuhan to find justice." Seeing that Sun Liansheng did not answer his questions, Captain Huang became even more angry and directly ordered the garrison in the barracks.
The soldiers swarmed up and tied up Sun Liansheng and others.
"You fucking see clearly, I am a lieutenant colonel, lieutenant colonel." Commander Huang grabbed the rank mark on the collar of his uniform and shouted to Sun Liansheng. "You are just a petty captain, and you asked people to surround me.
No, you still damnedly accused the Huang family of collaborating with the enemy. I know you have a backstage, but when we get to Wuhan, we will compete to see who has a bigger backstage." Captain Huang, who was already dizzy with anger, didn't care whether Sun Liansheng had one or not.
Backstage, Pishou slapped Sun Liansheng twice. Tangcheng could see that Sun Liansheng's face instantly swelled.
More than 100 of Sun Liansheng's men, including himself, were all tied up. Captain Huang, who was still angry, took a big wooden stick and wanted to teach Wang Hu, who led the men to besiege him, but was stopped by Tang Cheng.
"Captain Huang, he is just following the orders of Captain Sun. He does not have the common sense of a guy like him. It is important to let Captain Sun explain the matter clearly first. Only in this way can the matter of slandering the Huang family as collaborators be resolved."
Give the Macheng elders an explanation."
Naturally, Tang Cheng didn't want Captain Huang to make this matter a fuss. He already knew that Sun Liansheng had a backstage. Even if he was taken to Wuhan by Captain Huang, I'm afraid it would just be nothing in the end. What's more, Wuhan is leaving.
Macheng is not a mile or two away. Even if Sun Liansheng admits to slandering the Huang family in Wuhan, the Huang family will not have an extra piece of meat. It is best to ask him to explain the matter clearly in front of these people in Macheng. The only way is to eliminate
Without the local influence of Macheng, the Huang family has truly been able to get rid of its stigma.
Zhou Peilin, who had shot Sun Liansheng dozens of times in his heart, also nodded repeatedly. Being able to serve as the county magistrate in Macheng was not for nothing. Zhou Peilin's brains were not in vain. Huang Hanju could suddenly become the leader of the Macheng garrison from a landowner squire. This is absolutely
It can't be done with just money, especially what Huang Hanju said to Sun Liansheng later made him convinced that the Huang family had a backing in Wuhan. After all, he still had to rule in Macheng. If Huang Hanju overturned the situation,
It is not a wise move to offend the Huang family.
Sun Liansheng, who had been kneeled down in front of Captain Huang by Huang San's men, raised his head and glared at Tang Cheng and Zhou Peilin, especially looking at Zhou Peilin with murderous intent. When he told the county government that the Huang family was collaborating with the enemy, Zhou Peilin could not
He didn't want to speak for the Huang family like this now. "Company Commander Sun, the opportunity has been given to you, don't you want to say something?" Seeing that the people gathered at the entrance of the military camp had entered the military camp, Zhou Peilin, who was sweating on his forehead, ignored it.
There were so many, he reached out and grabbed Sun Liansheng's collar and shouted loudly.
"Bah" Sun Liansheng spat a mouthful of thick phlegm into Zhou Peilin's fat face, "You are a two-faced person. When I said that the Huang family was collaborating with the enemy in the county government, why didn't you speak for the Huang family like you are now?" Zhou Peilin let go.
He grabbed the hand of Sun Liansheng's collar and wiped the thick phlegm from his face. When he was waving his hand to slap Sun Liansheng, he was stopped by Tang Cheng who had been silent. Of course Tang Cheng didn't mean to be such a good person, but Zhou Peilin just kept going like this.
, Sun Liansheng will never tell the real reason for slandering the Huang family.
"Company Commander Sun, you are a soldier, and you should know what soldiers should do. Since you insist that the Huang family is collaborating with the enemy, please explain this matter clearly in front of the Macheng elders, so that we bystanders can know everything.
Ming." With a wink at Huang San, Tang Cheng pulled the furious Captain Huang and whispered a few words, and then continued to question Sun Liansheng. His experience in helping Xiao Yalan and the others put up slogans and organize street speeches in Shanghai made him fully aware of it just now.
Realizing the power of propaganda and momentum building, Huang San had already gone to the Macheng gentry who were close to the Huang family. Tang Cheng wanted to ask the matter clearly in front of those gentry.
"Tang, you are just a little second lieutenant. What qualifications do you have to question me?" Sun Liansheng, who had been tied up, was still rotten and talkative. Not only did he make Zhou Peilin hate him so much, he also even
Tang Cheng, who disliked him, was also jealous of him. "To tell you the truth, the 71st Army's troops are coming to Macheng soon. I'm just a front-line standby. How dare you tie me up today and wait for the 71st Army's troops to arrive?
Yes, I will never let you go. If you don’t believe me, let’s just wait and see.”
As soon as he heard that the 71st Army was coming to Macheng, Zhou Peilin's expression immediately changed. Not only him, but also Tang Cheng couldn't help but be a little stunned. However, Tangcheng was not afraid of the arrival of the 71st Army. He just couldn't figure out what the 71st Army was doing in Macheng.
, could the Japanese army be coming? Tang Cheng's heart suddenly flashed with a possibility. The 71st Army has always defended Wuhan, and Macheng is one of the two east gates of Wuhan. If Sun Liansheng was not telling lies, Tang Cheng
The only explanation Cheng could think of was that the Japanese army was coming.
The Japanese army was coming, and Tangcheng was so confused that he didn't even pay attention to what Captain Huang said. Shanghai, Nanjing, and Mengcheng left profound and unforgettable memories for Tangcheng.
In the places where he fought, he lost relatives, friends, and soldiers. The powerful artillery offensive of the Japanese army was still fresh in Tangcheng's memory. If the Japanese army really attacked Macheng, apart from the terrain advantages, Tangcheng could not think of Macheng.
What advantage does it have over the enemy?
Tang Cheng looked absentmindedly at Captain Huang who was questioning Sun Liansheng. The latter was completely unaware of Tang Cheng's anxiety at this time. He only had one thought in his mind. The Huang family's century-old reputation must not be destroyed in Sun Liansheng's hands. "Brother.
, I’ll put this aside for a moment, I have something to tell you privately.” Huang Hanju was still a little dazed after being forcibly dragged out of the circle of people by Tang Cheng. Although he often regarded himself as the eldest brother, Tang Cheng never admitted that this would suddenly happen.
Calling himself eldest brother somewhat surprised him.
