He already had the answer in his hand, so he could solve the problem quickly and well. Ji Menghan's superior did not spend too much time to confirm that the documents provided by Guo Bao were authentic.

Although there were many problems when they first cooperated, fortunately they got off to a good start. Guo Bao and Ji Jiacan also gradually developed some tacit understanding in the process.

In the following missions, whenever Guo Bao said that the matter could be solved, Ji Jiacan no longer asked Guo Bao to give specific solutions like the first time. His attitude also became more friendly and his words were much more polite.

And Guo Bao is also willing to chat and joke with Ji Jiacan.

Time passed very quickly, and the war also spread to the vicinity of Peiping. One day, an unknown person posted a notice in the alleyway in the middle of the night. When I woke up, the neighbors gathered in front of the notice. An old man who could read and write

Neighbors read to everyone: Peking citizens read notices in front of the bulletin board

It was a notice from the Shaanxi Pingjin Frontline Headquarters.

Our army is ordered to annihilate the bandit troops of the southern government and liberate the cities of Peiping, Tianjin, Tangshan, and Zhangjiakou. I hereby announce the eight chapters of the Constitution and am willing to abide by them together with all our people:

(1) Protect the lives and property of all people in each city.

(2) Protect national industry and commerce.

…

(8) No matter before or after our army enters the city, all citizens and people from all walks of life in the city must be jointly responsible for maintaining social order and avoiding destruction. Those who have meritorious service in protection will be rewarded, and those who conspire to destroy will be punished.

When the old neighbor read this, he paused for a moment, took a breath, pointed at the notice, raised his voice deliberately and continued to read:

Our army has strict discipline, buys and sells for the public, and does not take any advantage from the people. We hope that all our people can live and work in peace and contentment, and do not believe in rumors or disturb each other.

Commander Lin

Political Commissar Luo

December 22, the thirty-seventh year of the Republic of China

An old man with a white beard in the crowd took over the conversation:

"I think back when Liu Bang, the king of Han, led his army into Guanzhong, there was a 'Three Chapters of Agreement'. When you make a pact with your father and elders, there are three chapters of the law; those who kill will die, and those who hurt others and steal will be punished. This People's Liberation Army has five more chapters than Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty!"

After hearing this, the old neighbors laughed knowingly, and the conversation started:

"It seems that the People's Liberation Army is really going to enter Peiping!"

"Come quickly! Let us old and young men also have a good year!"

"Get out of here! The patrol is here!"

In the blink of an eye, no one was seen at the entrance of the alley. The patrolman came over, took a look at the notice, raised his hand to remove it, shook his head and left helplessly. Because in the past few days, there were notices posted by the Peiping underground party from Shaanxi Province everywhere in Forty-Nine City.

, even the police stations of the southern government received notices.

Ji Menghan, Guo Bao and Ji Jiacan were all involved in such things. Ji Menghan had done similar things when he was studying, but it was the first time for Guo Bao and Ji Jiacan to experience such excitement.

The people in Peiping City are worried about the upcoming war in the city and guess how long the city will be besieged. Some say one month, some say three months, but regardless of the predicted length of time, people are hoarding food just in case. Peking

On the streets of the city, grain stores have long sold out of grain. Occasionally, there are grain stores that open, and the prices are astonishingly high.

This tense atmosphere enveloped the entire city of Beiping, even though the Chinese New Year was about to begin. There was no festive atmosphere in the city in the past. Everyone was preparing for the upcoming war. Just when everyone thought that a fight was about to start.

At that time, suddenly the radio in the city announced that the commander-in-chief of the North China Suppression and the Shaanxi side had reached a peace agreement. There was peace in Beiping City!

When they woke up one morning, the people in Peiping found that the southern government troops originally guarding various intersections were gone, and were instead guarded by Shaanxi troops.

On this day, it was very lively, and many people went out to watch the excitement. Wang Wenwu climbed to the roof just like when he first came to Peiping, and looked towards the direction of Xizhimen. The sound of firecrackers that sounded from time to time there told him

The people from Shaanxi entered the city from there.

The first thing this army did when entering the city was to solve the problem of shelter. It is the Great Cold season now, the cold wind is howling in Peiping, and the dripping water turns into ice. It is not uncommon for individuals to freeze to death.

At nightfall that night, because Wang Wenwu's residence was close to a famous alley in the eastern suburbs, there were soldiers from Shaanxi on duty. Some of the soldiers on duty were wearing quilts that were difficult to keep out the cold, and some were wearing very thin coats, crowded among the common people.

In the doorways and under the eaves, the lips turned purple from the cold, but no one called the people's door.

These were discovered by the servants of Wang Wenwu's family when they got up early in the morning to throw away the garbage. The servants of Wang Wenwu's family looked at these soldiers sleeping outside in the dead of winter. But then they thought about what they had seen in the south.

In the government army, these soldiers are probably the only ones sleeping outside! Which officers are designated as not being able to freeze.

Although these soldiers look pitiful, they are not the master and cannot be the master. Besides, what if a wolf is lured into the house? They don't even throw away the garbage. There are so many big soldiers outside, and the garbage collectors probably don't dare to come in.

It doesn't matter if the garbage is thrown away for a few days in the cold weather. Before these soldiers wake up, they want to quickly enter the house and close the door.

As soon as the servant of Wang Wenwu's family turned around, the soldier sleeping beside the gate of Wang Wenwu's family said: "Comrade, this comrade! What time is it now?"

The servants of Wang Wenwu's family were startled by the sudden sound. When they realized it, it turned out that this person had woken up. Looking at the purple lips of the other person, he said: "Why are you all sleeping here? It's freezing cold here."

Yes, aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to wake up the next day?”

The soldier said humorously: "It's not cold, we have fire dragon clothes."

The servants of Wang Wenwu's family were stunned when they heard this. What fire dragon clothes? After asking carefully, they realized that they were too cold to sleep at night, so they walked back and forth and jumped in place.

The servants of Wang Wenwu's family said: "You can't just sleep outside! You are really pitiful, but soldiers are the same everywhere. Those who are officials don't drink the blood of soldiers, how can they enrich their own pockets?

"

Another soldier next to the soldier who spoke said: "Comrade, our army in Shaanxi is different from the army of the southern government. This, this is our company commander, sleeping on the street like us!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Unexpectedly, someone who looked like an ordinary soldier turned out to be the company commander. The company commander joked: "Haha, no, as a company commander, I still have some privileges.

It’s a little better than them, with an extra layer.”

After saying that, he raised half of his buttocks and showed the newspaper underneath him to Wang Wenwu's servant. It turned out that the privilege mentioned by the company commander was to spread one more newspaper than ordinary soldiers.

The servant of Wang Wenwu's family had never seen such an army before. He was stunned for a moment, and finally said: "When I go back, I will ask the master. See if I can go into the house and keep warm!"

The company commander shook his head and said: "Thank you for your kindness. Our superiors have stipulated that we cannot enter private houses. We accept your wishes, but we cannot enter the houses."

The servants of Wang Wenwu's family couldn't understand that the officials in Shaanxi actually issued such an order. The most important thing is that these big soldiers actually carried it out.

Finally, a servant from Wang Wenwu's family said: "Then I'll see if I can get you some firewood. You can make a fire. That would be better!"

The weather is indeed really cold. It shouldn't be considered a violation of discipline for the masses to send some firewood! The company commander looked at the soldiers shivering from the cold and couldn't say no.

The company commander said: "Then I'll trouble you!"

The servant said: "This is not troublesome at all."

The company commander said: "My watch is broken. I don't know what time it is now."

The servant said: "I don't know about this for a while. Wait until I go in and take a look and tell you how it goes!"

The company commander said: "Sorry to trouble you."

The servant said: "Then please wait a moment."

It's so cold outside, and Wang Wenwu hasn't woken up yet. The servant reported to Zhang Mu'en. Zhang Mu'en felt that the big soldiers outside have not been frozen to death yet. If people really freeze to death, those regulations and orders may not be able to control it.

There were people to live in. When the time came, the front door of our house wouldn't be able to hold up any more, so we could just give them some firewood and let them stay outside. So I nodded in agreement.

When it was time to eat, we thought about what the soldiers outside were eating in the cold weather. We discussed it with others for a long time. Finally, we couldn't hold it back anymore, so we opened the door and poked our heads out.

The result was shocking. Those soldiers ate steamed buns made with sorghum flour and corn flour, and they were also packed with ice. The pickles they had were dried bean pods, pickled eggplants, and pickled radishes, and they drank "root-rooting" cold water.

People from Wang Wenwu's family summarized four major advantages for the Shaanxi guards and soldiers: first, they don't make noise, second, they don't run around, third, they don't enter private houses, and fourth, they stand guard at night and don't scare the people.

Although everyone thinks that the troops entering the city are very energetic, when dealing with the soldiers, they always feel that they are too serious and a bit "silly" in the humorous and simple Beijing dialect. Of course, Wang Wenwu knew that this was no wonder the soldiers. The education before entering the city made them

They didn't dare to cross the border even half a step.

The residence of these soldiers. Fortunately, those officials in Shaanxi also know that soldiers cannot always live on the edge of the main road. The problem of housing has been solved.

The solution is to ask who has a vacant room in the city of Peiping to temporarily vacate it for people to live in. But a new problem has arisen. The households in the 49 cities of Peking that can vacate a house are either bureaucrats or capitalists.

Senior intellectuals or other well-known people. Large families who live in such high-end and deep courtyards are subject to a special assessment of the troops' discipline when entering the city.

The place where Wang Wenwu lives now is large and there are many empty rooms. Someone from Shaanxi came to ask if some soldiers could live in it.

Zhang Muen looked at Wang Wenwu. Wang Wenwu seemed to have no hesitation at all. He agreed without thinking. And the people who moved in were the same group of soldiers who had slept in front of Wang Wenwu's house.

With the houses sheltered from wind and rain, the condition of these Shaanxi soldiers was much better than before. Wang Wenwu was neither enthusiastic nor indifferent to these soldiers.

The company commander saw that the garbage in Wang Wenwu's yard was piled up into a hill, so he and a few cadres and soldiers rolled up their sleeves and got to work.

I don’t know where they found trucks one by one. It took 3 hours to shovel the garbage mountain and move it out of the yard. Seeing that the garbage mountain was taken away by the truck, Zhang Muen immediately asked someone to boil water for cooking for everyone.

Eat and drink.

Of course, these people will definitely not accept this meal and drink. The troops have discipline!

At first, other members of the Wang family were hesitant to approach the soldiers and kept a respectful distance. But slowly, they discovered that these People's Liberation Army soldiers were as well-educated, civilized and polite as advertised in newspapers.

Wang Wenwu's two new aunts loved listening to battle stories and quickly became familiar with the soldiers. The two aunts kept saying good things about Shaanxi to Wang Wenwu, saying: "They are a cultured army.

It is the most civilized army."

In addition to those from the southern government who accepted the peace agreement, there were also many spies who had been withdrawn from the Northeast, North China, and Northwest China and gathered in Peiping.

According to the materials at hand, in addition to the spies from the three major systems of the Secrecy Bureau, Military Command, and Central Command, there are also more than 8,000 spies from the North China "Suppression General", the "Qing Communist Vanguard" and British and American spies. In addition to the southern government's Peking City

The total number of reactionary backbone elements such as the Party Headquarters, HEB Provincial Party Headquarters, the Three Youth League, the Democratic Socialist Party, and the Youth Party is no less than 16,000 agents.

One of the tasks of Shaanxi's troops entering the city previously was to organize the masses to welcome the People's Liberation Army into the city on Qianmen Street.

This is not so easy to accomplish. Think about it, the early troops have just taken over the government, and they don’t know anyone yet, and they have to carry out such a major security task. If they mix in with the southern government spies and launch cold shots, how can they explain it?

In order to prevent the special agents from causing sabotage, the specific time and place of the entry into the city were not widely publicized in Beiping City. In all the streets passing through, those arranged in the first three rows were almost all underground workers and young students from Shaanxi.
