In the simple principal's living room, Chiang Kai-shek, who had already received the news, was very happy. He notified his secretary to call the heads of various departments to meet with him the outstanding young man he had been looking for for a long time. In addition to Liao Zhongkai, the party representative of the military academy who had been busy away from home for a long time, there were also external liaison officers.
In addition to Deputy Director of the Political Department Zhou, Vice President Li Jishen, Director of Education Fang Dingying, former Director of Education Wang Boling, Chief Instructor He Yingqin, Director of the Political Department Shao Lizi, Director of the Professorial Department Li Duo, Director of the Training Department seriously, Chief of Staff Bailibenov,
Engineer and soldier consultant Hu Lin and other nine people were very happy to come and take a look. Everyone was full of curiosity about An Yi, who had not shown up for a long time.
After a brief briefing, An Yi was led into the living room by Zhang Dingli, director of the principal's office, and seven people including Hu Zongnan were also called in. An Yi's face turned red while he was hastily adjusting his mentality. More than two months of cultivation had made his
His skin was much whiter, so the blush on his face was more conspicuous. Seeing Hu Zongnan and others standing upright in neat salutes, An Yi had no choice but to bow deeply to express his respect and greetings.
The bosses all stared at the tall and handsome An Yi and took a closer look. They felt that except for the fact that his hair was a little longer, the gentle and delicate young man in front of him was satisfactory in terms of figure and appearance. His humble and shy expression showed his sincerity and his appearance.
The heroic image that everyone imagines of driving like crazy and running through two obstacles and overrunning a fortress does not live up to the image.
Chiang Kai-shek, who was sitting in the center, looked at each other for a moment and smiled with his colleagues. The living room immediately burst into pleasant chuckles. Old Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand to signal Hu Zongnan and others to take a break, and said with a kind smile in his distinctive Mandarin:
"Young man is amazing! The Battle of Longyan Cave left a very deep impression on us. Your sudden appearance broke the stalemate on the entire battlefield and won a valuable offensive opportunity for our army. Your contribution was very
Amazing! Haha, I heard that He Zhonghan, Chen Geng and the others have been looking for you during this period. You avoided seeing you twice and slipped away quietly. Why is that?"
An Yi was even more nervous. He didn't expect that Lao Jiang knew so clearly and asked about this embarrassing matter as soon as he came. He couldn't say that the tobacco cream was not sold out and he didn't have time to deal with these bosses, right? But now that he asked about it,
I have to answer!
An Yi's mouth moved nervously: "It's my fault. I've been thinking about why there was no one left after the battle that day. Did everyone forget about me? Later I found out that I even charged with people and cars.
After entering the river, the engineers from the training regiment seized the opportunity to rush up and use wooden door panels to build a bridge over my head. Those who stayed behind to clean up the battlefield did not pay attention to the dark bridge deck.
There was also a shabby car that was badly crashed, and I didn’t know that I was in that car. As a result, when I woke up, it was already the next morning. If it weren’t for the local peasant association’s self-defense captain Sanbo leading more than 100 people,
Help me, carry the car ashore, bring the people, the car and the oxen back to the city, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out myself."
Everyone laughed when they heard what An Yi said was so interesting. Even Li Jishen, who had never seen a smile, couldn't help but smile, feeling that the boy in front of him was so honest and cute.
Li Jishen suddenly tapped his forehead and said to Lao Jiang next to him: "I understand now. Some time ago, the division commander below asked me whether the spectacle of nine oxen pulling a broken car in a parade was organized by our military academy? Theirs
Several patrol teams were deeply affected by the huge parade, and they all joined in. After the parade, they didn't know why they were marching and which department organized it? I was still surprised. During that time, there were parades and celebrations every day.
There were tens of thousands of people at every turn, and each one got louder and louder than the last. Plus I was busy with official duties, so I didn’t continue to pay attention. I didn’t expect that it turned out to be our little hero’s experience. Do you think it was a coincidence?”
"So the first grand parade and celebration when we invaded Guangzhou City was initiated by this young man in front of us?" Shao Lizi asked in surprise, and everyone immediately looked at An Yi.
An Yi quickly explained: "No, no! It was a misunderstanding. It was not intentional. No one knew it would turn out like that! At the beginning, dozens of people from the Self-Defense Force, who were enthusiastic at first, drove a few cows and took me with them.
The car was towed back to the city. Unexpectedly, more and more people were walking around. Passing the words of the Self-Defense Forces around eventually became a big deal. By the time we entered the city, there were already countless people in front of us.
I was so frightened when I turned the steering wheel in the car. When we reached the entrance of the alley leading to the backyard of our 'Taichang' trading house, I begged my uncle to hurry up and drive the cattle and pull the car in. I was so frightened at the time that I still regret it today.
, If I had known this, I wouldn’t have wanted that shabby car.”
Everyone was surprised and burst into laughter. Hu Zongnan and the others also staggered with laughter and finally stood up straight. They laughed for a few minutes before everyone calmed down and had a good impression of An Yi in front of them.
Lao Jiang touched his bald head and smiled at Shao Lizi. Shao Lizi nodded knowingly and turned to An Yi:
"Xiao An, your Mandarin is very good! I also heard that you are very eloquent and have a straightforward personality. You always bring laughter to your friends. We all feel the same way about what you just said, haha!"
Shao Lizi couldn't help laughing again, and several bosses nearby laughed again due to his influence. The gentle Shao Lizi put away his smile and asked kindly: "Mr. Ou Yaoting, the owner of the trading company where you work, is a well-known person in the province and Hong Kong."
An enlightened wealthy businessman, he is also our good friend. He has always supported our revolutionary cause and has extraordinary knowledge and rare political awareness. I heard that Mr. Ou Yaoting values you very much. I think Xiao An must have learned about the revolution and the Three People's Liberation Army advocated by Mr. Zhongshan.
Do you have some understanding of doctrine?"
An Yi knew that the thing he was most worried about was coming. After much thought, he didn't know how to answer it. Beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Lao Jiang smiled slightly: "Xiao An, don't be nervous. Just say whatever you think. No one will laugh at you if you are wrong. Just say it and be bold!"
An Yi nodded involuntarily: "I...I haven't seriously studied Mr. Sun's Three People's Principles. Some of the things I have come into contact with are from newspapers. I can't say it, and I don't know how to say it...remember me
The day I first wandered into Guangzhou, I was almost beheaded by a merchant army. This incident greatly stimulated me. I was sick for several days and couldn't get up. Later, I gradually learned about the merchant army, Chen Jiongming, who opposed the revolution, and
What the warlords Yang Ximin and Liu Zhenhuan did. The reason why I unexpectedly appeared on the battlefield at Longyan Cave that day was because I was held at gunpoint by Yang Ximin’s Yunnan Army to help them drive military supplies in preparation for the war. The reason why I helped them drive
I took the car for forty-four days because if I didn’t go, those evil-doing Yunnan soldiers would really burn down our boss, Mr. Ou’s business. On the night they requisitioned the car, more than a hundred people held torches and surrounded the business.
Shopkeeper Chen was beaten, and even Uncle Jiu, who was in his sixties, was beaten, so I had to go with them. If I don’t leave, I can’t save the car, the business can’t be saved, and I guess the lives of shopkeeper Chen and his colleagues can’t be saved either.”
An Yi's mouth was dry when he said this. He swallowed and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I just went there and pulled goods from one position to another under the supervision of the Yunnan Army officers every day. I had bullets and sacks.
There was rice and opium. The night before the Longyan Cave battle, I was ordered to take a cart of sacks to Shogouling. I saw more than a thousand civilians who were forcibly dragged and tortured half to death. This kind of civilians were everywhere on the Yunnan Army’s positions.
They were everywhere, but no other place was as miserable as those in Shougouling. After unloading the sacks, dozens of civilians who could no longer bear it suddenly threw down their burdens and wood and ran away. The Yunnan army immediately started
gun, dozens of people were killed in the blink of an eye. There was a child who was less than fifteen years old. He ran toward me in a panic. Under the firelight, I saw his face clearly and yelled, "Don't shoot. I stopped him and didn't shoot."
, As a result, the soldiers chasing him did not fire. The guard company commander who had been supervising me for dozens of days behind me opened fire. The brand-new German rifle blasted the child's head with one shot. I had already
I stretched out my hands to hug the child who could never escape. I wanted to stop him and then intercede for him. Unexpectedly, he died right in front of my toes. As I held him, his brain was in a mess, and the hot blood and brain matter were all mixed together.
I woke up only after the flow reached my chest. I asked the guard company commander and he gave me two kicks..."
An Yi's eyes were wet and he couldn't go on. The living room was completely silent. Fang Dingying and others also took off their glasses to wipe their eyes.
An Yi sniffed and continued: "I returned to the West Camp that night, pulled a cart of opium and smoke and rushed to the Yunnan Army position of Longyan Cave. The next day before dawn, I encountered Hu Sixun lying in the ditch of the sawmill.
Huang Jie and Song Xilian, after they left, I went back to the parking place to try to figure out how to escape. Shortly after noon, a company of engineers from the Yunnan Army accidentally exploded while transporting ammunition. Hu Sishun's supervising team killed all the remaining engineers.
I took advantage of the chaos and killed the guard company commander who was supervising me. I broke his neck when he fell down. This was my first time killing someone. I was not afraid at all, but was very excited. This incident was
Lao Song, who sneaked back secretly, saw it. Later, the battle became more and more fierce. Lao Song asked me to help drive into the enemy's position and cause confusion among the enemy. Otherwise, the Whampoa Army would suffer heavy casualties. I thought about how many of my brothers on the other side would be hit by bullets at some point.
I want to die, so I agreed."
Everyone nodded frequently. Hu Zongnan, Jiang Xianyun and others were extremely moved. Everyone looked at An Yi differently, and no one blamed him for answering the question incorrectly.
Unexpectedly, An Yi had already let go at this time, and before Shao Lizi and Fang Dingying asked again, he blurted out a series of shocking words:
"Seniors and generals, I suddenly remembered these things that are still fresh in my mind just now because I know what a warlord is, especially after seeing the British killing our people and showing off their warships in Baietan, I
Finally I understand what Mr. Sun means by nation, civil rights and people's livelihood. Recently, someone in the newspaper divided nationalism into two types, one is broad and the other is narrow, advocating self-examination and not advocating retribution, and vigorously criticizing the so-called narrow nationalism. To tell the truth
I am disgusted. If I really have to choose, I would rather be a narrow-minded nationalist who holds his head high to face the guns than a broad-minded person who puts his head in his crotch and endures humiliation. If a nation does not have its own
If the dignity of the people is always resigned, then this nation will have no hope. As for the civil rights and people's livelihood, I think it is easy to understand. Overthrowing the warlords and unifying the whole of China is the best way to achieve it. Otherwise, the warlords in various places will separatist regimes and expropriate violently, and from time to time they will fight for their own interests.
Life and death, in the end it is the people who suffer. Only by eliminating warlords and achieving national reunification can we sit down and talk about people's rights to survival, labor, development and other rights. Only then can we work together to build our own country and resist all foreign humiliations. These are
My understanding of Mr. Sun’s Three People’s Principles.”
Everyone stared at the excited young man in front of them in surprise, and were deeply shocked by his own understanding of the Three People's Principles. It was hard to imagine that such a unique view and such a firm belief could come from a young man who didn't even have a long beard.
In the mouth of a human being, he can actually speak such profound words as narrow nationalism, right to survival, right to labor, and right to development, and the sentences are fluent and real, and he has such unforgettable hatred for warlords, and such deep-rooted hatred for the path to realize the Three People's Principles.
Stubborn, such direct understanding makes everyone feel incredible.
"Okay! We saw you right. You are an outstanding young man, a progressive young man who is thoughtful and knowledgeable! Comrade Xiaoan, let me ask you a question now. Are you willing to study in our Huangpu and cultivate yourself with solid and systematic knowledge?
Have a firm belief to realize the Three People's Principles in your mind?"
Chiang Kai-shek stood up and looked at An Yi with shining eyes.
