Beijing's famous "Eight Hutongs..." are the so-called weathered areas, and some places are also called Pingkangli.
However, this term is not used in Beijing.
Outside the front door, the "Eight Hutongs" are several criss-crossed small alleys, also known as alleys, almost all connected together. Whenever the lanterns come on, friends in groups walk through the streets and alleys, strolling and catching cars, looking here and there.
Looking around is called "shopping around". The one with a bright door and a signboard with the four characters "Qingyin Xiaoban" written on it is the first-class kiln.
If you want to visit the brothel, just go in.
When you walk into the door, there is usually a screen wall. Turn left, turn right, and then walk in. Someone will lift the door curtain and make way for the room. They are accustomed to ask first: "Do you have an acquaintance, or are you a visitor?"
"If he has an acquaintance, he will name him. If there is no acquaintance, he will raise his voice and shout in a long voice: "I have a guest."
Why shout so loudly? Because it can be heard upstairs, downstairs, in the front yard, and in the backyard.
When the girls meet the guests, they all have different postures. Although they are intended to attract each other, they still all depend on the guests' love. When the girls come to the door, the waiters stand aside and roll call, singing one by one until the meeting is over.
Until now, if there were ten girls in the house and only eight were seen, the waiter would put down the door curtain and say in a low voice: "One of them didn't come back after giving a note, and one of them is sick and asked you for leave."
After I finished explaining, I asked you: "Look..."
He looked at the words for a long time, waiting for your reply. If you are interested, just tell them directly which one it is. If you don't like any of them, shake your head and walk out, there is no need to express any apology, because this is a common thing. What if it is true?
If you don't see it clearly, you can also ask for a "second goodbye." However, it depends on whether you are "sincerely" spending money or "deliberately" looking for trouble.
After choosing a girl, the guests are first asked to sit in the girl's "home" room. After they are seated, the aunts bring a plate of melon seeds, open a can of cigarettes, pour tea, greet the guests, ask for your name, and start a few words to chat.
After chatting, the natural next step is: the guest carefully appreciates the girl's appearance, and the girl slowly calculates the guest's pocket.
This is called "putting on the plate" or "opening the plate". The unique name in Beijing is also called "making tea circle".
Waiting for the team to have a tea party, regardless of the number of people, it is one yuan. If you open a can of British brand-name cigarettes "Gelique" and serve a plate of fruit, you usually get two yuan. Occasionally, if you meet an "old rusher", Beijingers will say that you have never seen them.
People who live in the world are not good at it, but if you still give them a dollar, they will never argue more or less.
Wang Sanming, the chief of the Beijing Military Command Station, was assigned to Beijing. Chen Gongpeng, a graduate of the first training class of the Military Command, and others went here to broaden their horizons. He offered five yuan, not to show off, but to make Chen Gongpeng and others see him.
See the world.
The first-class teams in Beijing are divided into two teams: Southern Beauties and Northland Rouges, with different styles and tastes. The southern teams, regardless of Wuxi or Changzhou, all say that they are from Suzhou, but there are absolutely no people north of the Yangtze River:
The northern team is almost entirely composed of Beijing natives.
As for those from prefectures outside Kinki, most of them have been relegated to the second or third class. This has nothing to do with their good looks, but is due to their poor family and lack of capital to make clothes.
The girls in the southern team always try to coax their guests, which is an eyesore when their friends are present.
The northern team is different. They treat their guests like husbands at home. Although they are intimate, they treat each other as respectful guests. The friends who entertain the guests flatter them in every possible way, but do not cause chaos. Although these are all attracting techniques, they have different feelings about the guests.
It has its own destiny.
The Southern team wants customers to spend money, and there are so many tricks. The market is "open" today.
Tomorrow, you will have to break the banknotes to support the "Xuanjuan". Once the money is opened, how can you not nod? Otherwise, you will have no face to enter this door again in the future. The northern team has a sense of proportion and will never speak until it is hot, unless it encounters the enemy. They will also
They pretend to give you advice on how to save money. In the end, the money is wasted, but it makes you feel very comfortable.
This is just an introduction to the Huā things in Beijing, so you might as well read it as an anecdote about the capital.
In the evening, Wang Sanming took Chen Gongpeng and another student Bai Shiwei to visit Hanjiatan. Hanjiatan is a small alley, one of the "Eight Hutongs" in Beijing. This area is almost full of small Qingyin troupes in Suzhou. The so-called "Qingyin"
"In other words, it means singing and singing but not selling one's body, just to raise one's social status. There is a "huā shop" in Hanjiatan. Wang Sanming recognized an acquaintance, and the huā name was Hanchun. This Shu was born in the past year, with good charm and good conversational temperament.
But it is inevitable to be a little reserved. This is not necessarily a shortcoming, but some people think it is modesty.
Wang Sanming encouraged Chen Gongpeng to call one too. This person's name was very strange. She was called "Feilong". She was chubby and had no appearance, but she spoke Wu Yi's soft words, especially when Suzhou people spoke Beijing dialect.
The ones that are glutinous and sweet are very popular. Chen Gongpeng also urged Bai Shiwei to call him one by chance, but he didn't like any of them and refused to find another one!
Chen Gongpeng and others were sitting in Hanchun's living room chatting, but Feilong invited Chen Gongpeng and others to sit in her room again and again. Chen Gongpeng thought that it would not be the same in anyone's room. In fact, it was not the case. It turned out that the first time she had a baby
If the guests are not in my room, it will not be officially served, and it will not be easy to ask for money. This is their rule.
When Chen Gongpeng and others were laughing so hard, the driver who looked like Wang Sanming was outside asking the waiter for someone. When Wang Sanming saw it, it turned out to be the driver, Lao Xiao, and waved to him to come closer. Lao Xiao replied that Mr. Mao Renfeng was looking everywhere.
They had been searching for a long time. Mao Renfeng's driver saw Wang Sanming's car at the entrance of the alley. After asking him, they found out that Chen Gongpeng and others were all here.
Now, Mao Renfeng is waiting for them in the car outside the alley.
Wang Sanming and Chen Gongpeng didn't have time to pay for the dishes, so they asked Bai Shiwei to stay and wait for a while. They quickly picked up their hats and rushed out. Not far after Chen Gongpeng and others walked out of the door, they saw Mao Renfeng walking in the direction of Chen Gongpeng.
come over.
Several people felt embarrassed when they saw Mao Renfeng, but Mao Renfeng asked Wang Sanming to accompany him back, so several agents returned to Hanchun's living room.
Bai Shiwei stood up. He originally wanted to stand up and be polite, but he hesitated. Chen Gongpeng guessed that it was probably not a bow or a handshake. Mao Renfeng spoke first, asking everyone to sit down and talk.
Hanchun, Feilong, Auntie Niang, and the young ladies all came up to greet them. Mao Renfeng asked: "Brother Sanming, is there a convenient place to talk here?"
Wang Sanming turned to Hanchun, who nodded and guided him inside.
This is a small suite, which is elegantly decorated and is specially used for guests to join in playing cards. Chen Gongpeng and the others are just four of them. They may have misunderstood. Just as they were about to start the game, Wang Sanming saw that something was wrong, and then quietly
Di and Hanchun murmured a few words, and Hanchun was generous. After pouring the tea, he served two plates of fruit, closed the door, and they all left.
Bai Shiwei looked back and forth carefully again.
Mao Renfeng suppressed his smile, lowered his voice, and conveyed his instructions solemnly. He said: "At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Director Dai called me to deliver a task in person. Its importance is related to
Can the Japanese spy agency in Beijing be eradicated? This is an operational task. The target of the assassination is Rihachiro Banishi, the head of the Japanese spy in Peiping. The deadline is one week from today, which is seven days." Chen Gongpeng and others gasped.
A breath of cool air.
This Rihachiro Banishi graduated from the 14th Saber Class of the Japanese Mainland University in 1900.19
In 2009, he was transferred to the General Staff Headquarters due to his expertise in studying China issues and was immediately sent to Beijing.
Rihachiro Banxi met the Governor of Zhili, Ding Shikai, through the introduction of the chief spy chief Nobujun Aoki, and was employed as the training consultant of the Beiyang New Army and the chief translator of the Beiyang Supervisory Training Office. At that time, there was an agreement between China and Russia on the "Kaxi"
"The Secret Treaty with Nepal", which stipulated that if the Chinese Army hired foreign instructors, they must be Russians. In order to avoid trouble, Yuan Shikai asked Ban Xi to dress up as a Chinese and gave him a Chinese name: Ban Zhichao.
During the Russo-Japanese War, after Nobujun Aoki was transferred to the Manchuria Army Headquarters, Bannishi was responsible for the remaining intelligence work.
Banxi established contact with Duan Zhigui, the general office of the Beiyang Supervisory Training Office Staff Office. Duan sent the intelligence received from various places every day to Banxi, and then sent the Japanese version of Zecheng to the Japanese garrison headquarters, and then forwarded it to the Tokyo General Staff Headquarters. Japan and Russia
After the war, Banxi was transferred back to China and served as the captain of the 9th Field Artillery Regiment. When the Revolution of 1911 broke out in Wuchang in 1919, the General Staff Headquarters immediately sent Banxi to Beijing to serve as the military attache of the embassy and established a military base codenamed "Banxi Mansion".
Secret Service.
After Wang Hengyue unified China, his tough attitude toward Japan was universally recognized. The relatively famous Rihachiro Bannishi also became a thorn in Wang Hengyue's side and a thorn in his flesh. Under such circumstances, Rihachiro Banishi resigned as Minister Attaché with the consent of the General Staff Headquarters.
He then led the "Banxi Mansion" into Dongjiaomin Lane to start secret intelligence work.
After a slight pause, Mao Renfeng earnestly encouraged several military intelligence personnel and said: "Killing Rihachiro Banishi will destroy Japan's spy activities in Beijing. We should go all out at any cost. I have decided to hand over this task
The two units in Tianjin and Beijing will concentrate their efforts and cooperate to implement it. Please consider the assignment of tasks at your own discretion. I will immediately telegraph the matter to Mr. Dai. We will gather at Fuyou Street at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning to report. The relevant matters will be reported by then.
Let’s discuss it in more detail.”
After Mao Renfeng's announcement was completed, it was not yet midnight. He said that he would go back and send a telegram first, and hoped that these intelligence personnel would exchange opinions immediately and get started!
This is an emergency sanctions order that comes out of the blue, and there is no psychological preparation for the operation mission in advance. At first glance, when you hear it, you feel at a loss and feel at a loss.
Now that the order is given, things are in a hurry. Unconsciously, there are thousands of threads and threads coming one after another. It’s like trying to beat a duck to the shelf. But where the order is, there is no turning back. I can only do my best and move forward courageously.!
