Chapter 23 Comfortable days are over

Chapter 23 The comfortable days are over

On June 23, in order to support the "May 30th Massacre" in Shanghai, workers in Guangdong and Hong Kong and all walks of life held a massive general strike in Guangdong and Hong Kong. When the parade marched to Shaji, the British Marines stationed here came to the

Unarmed demonstrators opened fire, killing 59 people on the spot and seriously injuring more than 100 people, causing another "Shaji Massacre" that shocked China and the world. Whampoa Military Academy also paid a heavy price with 27 people killed and dozens injured.

At this time, at the critical moment when the National Government was formally established, Huangpu's military and political officials headed by Chiang Kai-shek were caught up in complicated discussions. Various factions coveted status within the party, and the competition for the rights of the revolutionary army had entered a fierce stage.

.

In the face of the strong political reputation of Wang Jingwei, the "first candidate for chairman" who has always been by Mr. Sun Yat-sen's side and wrote his will before his death, Chiang Kai-shek, who has been wandering on the edge of the core of the central leadership, worked tirelessly and worked hard to finally get his wish and enter Wang Jingwei's position.

The ranks of the eight members of the Military Commission, who also served as chairman, laid an important foundation for his political career. Chiang Kai-shek gained great reputation with his illustrious military exploits in the Eastern Expedition and the War of Rebellion. The "Military and Political Opinions" he painstakingly wrote was the first comprehensive and systematic

He thoroughly discussed issues such as military system, military resources, armaments, military education and military construction, which won praise from both the government and the public. President Jiang also started a glorious political career because of this series of arduous efforts.

After Chen Jiongming's reactionary forces entrenched in the Dongjiang area got a chance to breathe, they are likely to make a comeback. The separatist warlord Deng Benyin and others who have occupied southwest Guangdong for many years echoed Chen Jiongming in Qiongzhou, Lianzhou, Hepu, Qinzhou and Fangcheng (Qinlian)

The area up to the Sino-Vietnamese border was under the jurisdiction of Guangdong Province at the time), and British imperialist warships gathered at the Pearl River estuary. Under this complicated and tense situation, Huangpu teachers and students' actions to "search for the hero An Yi" had to be temporarily suspended.

In the simple and elegant front hall of Liuyuan on Puji Street, An Yi put down "The Art of War" that he had been studying for an hour and a half, and whispered to Er Mao, who was getting smarter and smarter, to sit on the chair opposite the Eight Immortals Table and start from the hidden compartment under the Eight Immortals Table.

He took out a deck of cards and started a new day's battle with the excited Ermao.

In less than half an hour, Ermao, who had just turned seven, had a face covered with thick whisker-like notes. He was so cute. An Yi was careless and was successfully attacked twice by the clever Ermao. There was also a note hanging on both sides of the corner of his mouth.

Like two long fangs, he shuffled the cards faster than ever when he was angry.

When the second aunt came back from shopping for groceries, she covered her mouth and laughed when she saw this scene. She put the newly bought newspaper on the incense table and walked quickly to the back kitchen, her steps crooked with laughter along the way.

"snort……"

After sleeping, the old Taoist walked out of the room with a displeased face, swinging the sunflower fan. Ermao was so frightened that he dropped the poker and jumped off the stool. He ran to the coffee table by the wall and skillfully made tea and filtered the water and quickly brought it to the old Taoist.

A steaming cup of fragrant tea. The old Tao pointed to the low table next to the rocking chair and motioned Er Mao to put down the tea cup. He lowered his face and pulled off Er Mao's "beard" while sternly ordering: "Go, go to your room and copy five pages."

"Zeng Guang Xian Wen" must be written on paper. Each page should not be less than 300 words. If you can't finish it, don't eat today."

"Yes, I'll go..."

Ermao, with a frown on his face, ran towards the backyard.

The old Taoist continued his daily leisurely and scholarly manner, drank half a cup of tea, and said calmly: "Yesterday, I was throwing cups over the British warships sailing into Baietan to show off their power. What's going on today?"

Are you wasting your time just talking and laughing?"

An Yi crossed his legs and stared at the newspaper without raising his head: "I can't live with his mother's resentment, right? Even the revolutionary army is not angry, and the Guangdong army has no temper. You ask me to pick up a stone and throw it at him.

A British warship?"

The old man smiled slightly: "If that's the case, why don't you join the army and carry a gun? I have seen that A Biao's stupid young man is sneaking around every time he comes to see you. I don't know what you two are doing upstairs.

Human deeds? However, the day before yesterday, you went out to find you and saw no one. When I questioned you, you told me that your Huangpu brothers were looking for you all over the world, but you didn't let them tell you where you were hiding.

Why is this? Is it because people didn’t remember you in Longyan Cave in June, and you are still worried about it?"

An Yi put down the newspaper and sighed: "Don't think of me so petty. I already knew the reason at that time. I don't blame the brothers at all. Last week, I wanted to thank the third uncle of Longyan Cave for bringing the truck back to me.

, I also made a special trip to San Bo's house, and he refused to accept ten yuan, so I rushed to the cattle and horse market in the east of the city and bought him two bulls and three cows. One of the cows was pregnant.

When I was pregnant, San Bo and the others liked such a strong cow when they saw it, so they stopped refusing. A dozen big men took out old wine from each house and drank me to a pulp. I don’t know how I got back to Guangzhou City. Fortunately, Shoudong

The little policeman at the door knew me and left me to sleep in the guard box for a night, otherwise I would have to sleep on the street, and maybe the unscrupulous co-workers from Dongzi's past would drag me to the wilderness on a pallet truck and bury me alive."

The old man laughed, put down the tea cup and turned to look at An Yi who was sighing: "You have been kicked out by the shopkeeper for a long time, right? During this time, you stayed at home almost every day to study and practice calligraphy, and at night you drew your messy drawings. It's okay.

You don't leave the door and don't step out. On the outside, you have some feelings after experiencing life and death. Your temper is almost worn out and you know how to cultivate your mind and comb your mind. But you can't hide the unruly restlessness in your bones from me.

During these days, I am recovering at home. When I calm down, I think about your future. But after thinking about it, I don’t know what you are thinking about. You have to tell me the truth today. Why are you always hiding from your Huangpu gang?

Brother? What are your plans for the future? Do you want to join the army or do you want to go into business?"

"Huh?"

An Yi looked at the old Taoist in surprise: "Why do you assert that I only have these two paths? Is it the result of divination every morning and evening?"

The old Taoist laughed dryly: "Haha! With your little depth, are you still worthy of my fortune-telling for you? When I was thirteen years old, I traveled around nine provinces with my master. What kind of people have I not seen in decades? Let me tell you clearly today.

If you don’t want to join the army, why is there a shiny new German rifle hidden under your pillow? If you don’t want to do business, why did you change my identity certificate to a Guangzhou one in less than two months and secretly go to the Shamian Concession?

You want to deposit 5,000 yuan for me in a British bank? Furthermore, you secretly transferred the property deed of this durian orchard to my name, Lao Shoudao. Are you planning to travel far away without telling us?"

"Grandma's old ways, are you too disloyal? How dare you steal my personal belongings?"

An Yi was furious and threw the newspaper on the Eight Immortals table with a bang: "You are such a sanctimonious guy, so you have voyeurism? Tsk tsk..."

The old man was not angry either: "Don't talk about it! I didn't peek on purpose. I only found out after Er Mao went up to play with your gun that day and scared me. I don't care if I don't say this. Anyway, I have a clear conscience. That's right."

You, you have used my name to do all kinds of things, and I haven’t settled the accounts with you yet. Today you have to confess to me. If you tell a lie, I will move out of here immediately, hum!"

An Yi was shocked and smiled quickly: "Grandma's Ermao, I will smash your little butt... Haha, old man, why are you doing this? Why are you saying such angry words? You are dozens of years older.

You are a person, and you still have the same knowledge as me? Let me pour you a cup of tea to calm the fire, haha... Don't drink it in a hurry, it's hot... Since you are so angry, I will confess!"

An Yi picked up his cup and drank a mouthful of boiled water: "To tell you the truth, I got these thousands of oceans back from a Yunnan Army officer who died violently on the battlefield. At that time, I was held at gunpoint while transporting opium.

Yantu and Dayang went to the front line and gave the Yunnan troops money for the war. After the opium money was distributed, he embezzled and kept a small part of it, which he hid under the seat of my truck. After the battle, he died and my truck was scrapped.

Yes, it took a lot of effort to persuade the third uncle of Longyan Cave and they dragged him back with a cow, but as soon as he came back, Chen Siyan took revenge and fired me. I turned around and left without saying a word, but at night

So I sneaked back and took out the money. That night, A Biao was on duty, so I gave him a little benefit. How good is it that he gets along with me now? Haha... You can’t leave too much money at home, right? What if we

Are you going to cry if you accidentally get robbed? That’s why I thought of you. You and Dongzi are my only relatives in this world. Dongzi is an honest person. I kept a huge sum of money in his name and didn’t torture him out of illness? No.

The only solution is to use your name. Who gave you such a reputation as a charlatan? No one would think it strange that you have an ocean of 18,000 yuan, haha! Think about it, I might as well transfer the house to your name, so as to save you the chance of something happening to me one day.

Anyway, our family, old and young, must have someone to rely on, right?"

The old Taoist was relieved, his face was gloomy, but he was deeply moved: "No wonder you stay at home so leisurely, studying and practicing calligraphy, humming strange yin and yang tunes and drinking imported wine all day long. It turns out that you got a windfall from the sky...

…and then said, you can’t hide it from me, but you still want to hide it in front of me with your little intentions? Go on, tell me everything else, I don’t blame you.”

"Old Taoist, your trick doesn't work on me, no more, haha!"

An Yi put down the cup, crossed his legs and continued to read the newspaper leisurely. Unexpectedly, the old man suddenly threw a slipper, smashed the newspaper into two halves with a sound of wind, and continued to castrate. With a "pop" sound, Dongzi was thrown a few meters away.

The door of the room burst open, which also shocked An Yi: "I didn't expect you to have such beautiful hands... Grandma's is amazing! It seems that Dongzi is right, saying that you can fly spit

I knocked down a dragonfly, and it turns out there is some Taoist magic. Hey! Teach me someday, especially the Fangzhongshu which is never taught in Taoist secrets. I really want to learn it!"

The old Taoist couldn't help but laugh: "Forget it, that stupid young man is knocking on the door again, kid, please listen carefully: don't do anything harmful to God, otherwise I, the old Taoist, won't be able to spare you!"

Just when An Yi was about to make a few jokes, he noticed that there was a gleam in the old Taoist's eyes that he had never seen before. He was frightened and swallowed the witty words that came to his throat: "Don't worry, who am I? I will never do this.

Those destructive activities. Okay, I'll come as soon as I go, what kind of trouble does this grandson A Biao cause at this time..."

An Yi walked to the courtyard door and opened it. A Biao got in with a smile, looked around furtively and lowered his voice: "Boss, do you still have the best Indian products? They have been out of stock for a few days, and there are dozens of them behind me.

The second generation ancestor of Qian, these people are addicted to cigarettes and are chasing me like crazy people, but they can’t get rid of them! It turns out that you said you were worried that the underworld would take notice. We are only allowed to ship one kilogram a day, but why did I just sell sixty kilograms?

Is it gone? Think of another way. This business makes money quickly and is very enjoyable! Nowadays, the price of top-quality cigarette cream in India is as high as one or two yuan. If the stock is out of stock, it will kill people!"

"I said A Biao, do you fucking think it's shit? It happens every day? I only have sixty kilograms of goods, or an adjutant under Commander Fan Shisheng of the Revolutionary Army of the Yunnan Army in Beidaying secretly entrusted me to sell them. Now the account is

After settling the matter, the adjutant also left Guangzhou to recruit troops in western Hunan, where do you want me to get them?"

An Yi glared at A Biao who was full of regret: "A Biao, don't do this stupid thing anymore. What can't you do now that you have hundreds of dollars on your body? You really don't want to go out and stay here.

Forget it about the business. I'll come back to you when I have good business someday. I won't forget you, my brother in trouble. Okay, go back, I know you have plenty of ideas for what to do."

"It can only be the."

A Biao nodded helplessly: "Boss, if there is good business, remember my little brother. I will fight wherever the boss points me, and I will fight through fire and water. After this period of time, I have also understood a lot of truth. In this troubled world, if you are timid, you will starve to death."

Okay, boss, my little brother is gone. If you say something happy one day, I will get you a dog to stew."

An Yi laughed, put his arm around A Biao's shoulders and sent him out of the door. Without saying a few words, several mighty figures swooped up, and with seven or eight powerful hands, they pinned the unaware An Yi down.

On the ground, A Biao was so frightened that he leaned against the courtyard wall, dumbfounded.

"Don't move! Be honest!"
