At noon, An Yi held a banquet at the Jiangnan Hotel near the Confucius Temple on the Qinhuai River to entertain the brothers and sisters who were attending the meeting. This time, more than a hundred teachers and students from Huangpu gathered in Nanjing. It was a rare gathering for Pao Ze, who had not seen each other for a long time, and they quickly became popular.
They started to network, and they all talked about the past of the military academy, and they couldn't help feeling sad for a while.
He Zhonghan sat with An Yi and talked about his situation after returning to China.
It turned out that on the eve of the Spring Festival this year, the Nanjing Military Commission established the Political Training and Propaganda Division. He Zhonghan was ordered to return to China and serve as the director. He then stayed in Hunan and Hubei for a long time, following Chiang Kai-shek's guidelines of "three points military, seven points political" and opened a "political
Research Classes" and "Military Academy Special Training Classes" select and recruit batches of serving political cadres and college graduates in the military for short-term training, and then assign them to the military across the country to engage in propaganda work.
When An Yi heard this, he knew the nature of He Zhonghan's work and what these so-called political workers trained did. In addition to promoting Commander-in-Chief's ideas on party and military governance in their daily work, they were probably also responsible for monitoring the military leaders of various ministries.
In order to prevent "unusual" tasks, I couldn't help but be secretly vigilant.
At this time, many Huangpu seniors who were good friends with An Yi came to toast An Yi and find out what Huangpu's number one leader thought about Chiang Kai-shek's departure, so as not to stand in the wrong position.
From the first to the sixth phase of Huangpu, more than 6,000 students graduated. Four or five years after leaving Huangpu, in these turbulent years, Huangpu students, as freshmen and pure strength, inevitably produced differentiations with historical significance.
.After the Huangpu, Northern Expedition and party purge stages, endless student party disputes, social disputes, and disputes over opinions and social ideas, the Huangpu clique continued to split. At this time, those who served in Chiang Kai-shek's direct troops or government and continued to be loyal to Chiang Kai-shek,
About half of them are divided into several forms: a group of people who have a good relationship with Chiang Kai-shek, who are highly valued because of their loyalty and bravery, and lead troops to fight abroad. The representatives of this group are An Yi and Hu Zongnan;
After their years in Huangpu, they quickly returned to the track of mediocrity. They served in military agencies and grassroots units, receiving a peaceful salary, waiting for their qualifications to be gradually upgraded; finally, there was a group of people who were designated in the party purge.
Although they immediately broke away from the Communist Party because of their various connections with the Communist Party, and returned to serve in the army or government because of Chiang Kai-shek's distaste for Huangpu students, they started cautiously, hoping to eliminate any doubts about "going to the top"
Life.
The latter two types of Huangpu students do not have military power in their hands and are afraid of making mistakes, so they are cautious and can only rely on the judgment of people like An Yi, who are quite feared by people from all factions, to decide their future direction.
An Yi knew it well, so he naturally accepted everyone who came, and while they were drinking and drinking, he comforted him by saying that the principal's resignation was just a temporary measure, and that everyone only needed to do the things assigned by the principal, and believed that the principal would come back soon.
After half-drinking, Zeng Kuanqing stood up and said impassionedly: "Don't panic or get confused. In fact, as long as we think about our early years, we will know what is happening now.
What kind of environment did we face when we were in Huangpu? At that time, the future of the national revolution was bleak. Warlords from all walks of life were opposing the Prime Minister and the principal. We had to go to the battlefield at any time and could lose our lives at any time. At that time,
Are we here to get promoted and get rich? No! At that time, we regarded those who engaged in corruption for personal gain as our enemies!
This time the principal is out of office, we students here must think about the principal, the Republic of China, and our Huangpu department. During the Eastern Expedition, how many of us died, and how many of those who are still alive have this disease?
Scar? The principal ruled us after he went out of office. The people who were our chiefs were the same people who wanted our lives at that time! They opposed the Three People's Principles, the Prime Minister and the principal. If you have breasts, you are a mother. Is it that we, Huangpu soldiers, are just for these?
Do people make wedding clothes?
As a soldier, I am ashamed to work with them! If we don’t take action, our country will perish, and we, the people, will make future generations laugh forever!”
As soon as Zeng Kuanqing said these words, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Among the Huangpu students here, most of them were people from the previous three periods. When they joined Huangpu, they all had the enthusiasm to save the country and protect the people. They suffered hardships and fought bloody battles under the banners of Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek. But only a year or two later,
The streets full of officials and corruption in Nanjing have long since turned their young hearts into cold despair.
A few years have passed, but only a few of Huangpu students have been promoted to generals, and most of the rest are still captains. In addition to the national crisis and the spread of corruption, there is also the crisis of the principal stepping down, the crisis of the Huangpu department, and the bleakness of one's own future.
They are anxious. Why don't they take action on their own, fight against the new bureaucratic elite internally, establish their "principal" status, and fight against Japan and Russia externally to strive for the status of a great power?
After that, naturally, Teng Jie stood up and expounded the purpose of the Fuxing Society, He Zhonghan explained the organizational principles and participation methods, Hu Zongnan gave his support, and the Fuxing Society appeared ceremoniously in front of many Huangpu colleagues.
An Yi couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't expect that a good gathering banquet would turn into an agitation and propaganda meeting of the Fuxing Society. However, thinking of Chiang Kai-shek's expectations, he knew that if he backed down, he would definitely give evidence to others, so he stood up immediately:
"Let me just say one thing: The establishment of the Fuxing Society is a major event related to the future of the party and the country. I, An Yi, strongly support it. If you want people to give people, if you want money, give money. If anyone dares to go against the trend, I will let him try.
Isn’t it harder than the fists of Li Zongren, Feng Yuxiang and others!”
This remark was so resounding that the whole audience was silent, and then burst into warm applause.
It was noon on the same day at Fuxing East Road Pier on the Bund in Shanghai.
Wang Laoshen stood in line in the queue cautiously, looking at the endless queue, feeling a little uneasy, a little scared, and a little expectant.
Wang Laoshi was originally a small landowner in the suburbs of Shenyang. He had an old man in his early fifties and two daughters aged five or six. His wife was a beautiful woman from Mizhi, Shaanxi who fled to the Northeast during the Zhili War. There were more than 100 people in the family.
With acres of land and some livestock, life was pretty good.
The experiences of the past few months seemed like a dream, everything changed because of the brazen invasion of the Japanese.
Thinking about the series of things he had experienced from September 18th to now, Wang Laoshi felt uncomfortable. That night, there were constant shouts of death in Shenyang City. Wang Laoshi and the villagers in the village could not sleep. They all stood in front of
Looking towards Shenyang City from the entrance of the village, the red firelight illuminated almost half of the sky.
On the afternoon of the next day, a shocking news came. The Japanese began to carry out a massacre in the city. It was said that tens of thousands of people had died under the knife of the Japanese. Many people did not believe it, but the person who delivered the news was mysterious.
In front of the photos taken out by the secretary, everyone was shocked: they saw headless corpses all over the ground in the photos. A Japanese ronin was holding a big knife and slashing at a man who was kneeling on the ground, and a Japanese soldier.
He took a bayonet and stabbed a woman holding a child. The whole photo was bloody and violent, and a suffocating breath of death hit her face.
I don't know who took the lead in fleeing. Wang Laoshi returned home in a daze. He had just explained the matter clearly to his family. When he was at a loss what to do, he heard the sound of people in the village calling for friends to flee south together. The family, which had lost its mind, followed the wind. He quickly packed up the gold, silver, soft goods and some daily necessities, then loaded the livestock on the cart, took the maids and long-term workers, and began to flee into the pass.
Along the way, we met more and more people fleeing, and the rumors became more and more terrifying. They said that Shenyang was burned to a white ground, and that the crops waiting for the autumn harvest in the surrounding black soil were all turned into ashes because of the Shenyang fire. Implicated, that person said that all the Chinese living in Changchun City had been killed by the Japanese, and the blood dyed Changbai Mountain red. People were extremely frightened and accelerated their escape. It was not until they entered Jinzhou where the Northeast Army was garrisoned that they felt a little better. Be more stable.
Just when people didn't know what to do next, news came: As long as they fled to Xiangxi and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they would have a way to survive, and there would be specialized people there to arrange their livelihoods. In panic, people did not think about it and did not think about the news. Because of their sources, and being disappointed with the Northeast Army's non-resistance policy, they fled one after another.
In this way, I traveled south from Shanhaiguan. Along the way, I could see temporary settlements and porridge shacks funded by Jiangnan Group and Jiangxi Chamber of Commerce from time to time, as well as specialized medical staff to treat patients. I arrived in Shanghai without any danger.
The main reason why he did not choose to go to Xiangxi was that Wang Laoshi heard that the Jiangnan Group was arranging for people to go to Nanyang to make a living. Now that Nanyang is vast and sparsely populated, there are a lot of land and farms for sale. He has some capital and can buy some land to live on, instead of going to Nanyang. Those in western Hunan can only make a living by working in factories.
"Next!"
After queuing for a long time, it was finally Wang Laoshi’s turn.
Although he had been prepared in his heart, Wang Laoshi still felt guilty for no reason when he saw the armed police officers in front of a row of tables maintaining order and more than a dozen receptionists looking well-dressed.
Wang Laoshi was led to a table by the military police. Seeing Wang Laoshi's trembling look, the clerk smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "Don't be nervous. Let's sit down and talk. What are your specialties? How many people do you have in your family?" People, what kind of job do you want to find after arriving in Nanyang?"
"My name is Wang Laoshi. I fled from the Northeast this time. I want to buy some land in Nanyang and live in peace for a few days." Wang Laoshi said calmly.
The clerk glanced at Wang Laoshi with some surprise: "Since you have money, why don't you choose to stay in the country, such as investing in and building a factory in western Hunan, or doing business on your own? How could you think of going to Nanyang to develop?"
Wang Laoshi had a bitter look on his face: "How do I understand those things? You will only lose money if you invest in them! Besides, the Northeast Army's many guns and artillery can't beat the Japanese. I read the newspapers along the way and found that neither the Nanjing government nor the Guangzhou government The government was just shouting slogans, but had no actual actions. I thought that Commander-in-Chief Chiang and Chairman Wang had nothing to do with the Japanese. Instead of staying in the country and waiting for the Japanese to come over, they might as well go to Nanyang and live in peace for a few days. These days I've had enough trouble in the past year, and I don't want to go through it any more."
The clerk smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Well, since you have made up your mind, I won't force you. There is a large area of land in Nanyang that we Chinese need to cultivate. I just hope that no matter where you go, you will not forget that you are a Chinese."
After saying that, the clerk quickly issued a certificate to Wang Laoshi, then pointed to the house at the back and said: "When you go in, you will find the land transaction counter. There is a dedicated person there to receive you, and there are many details of the land waiting to be sold. Your specific situation
The information about you and your family members will also be verified one by one."
Wang Laoshi bowed gratefully, walked into the bungalow at the back and quickly completed the formalities, waiting to take his family on the passenger ship to Xingzhou the next day.
There are many, many people who have experienced the same thing as Wang Laoshi. From 1931 to around the official outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, nearly 10 million people from the disaster areas of 205 counties in the seven provinces of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River and the occupied areas in the Northeast went to Nanyang to make a living, which greatly improved the situation for the Chinese.
