The Japanese army occupied Jiangdong Province and took two months to clean up the mines in the Huai River. The ships of the former Jiangdong Shipping Company were confiscated and sun flags were hung for military material transportation. There were often gunboats with sun flags on the river, roaring back and forth, and ordinary fishing boats dared to go into the water. "《()

This passenger ship was arranged by Zeng Jiao. It has a Japanese operating license, which can travel between Beitai and the provincial capital. Refugees who had escaped to Beitai before began to return to the provincial capital, so the business is not bad, and the cabins are full of guests. Xia Xiaoqing, Lin Wenjing and the others were arranged in the first class cabin, with spacious space and river views.

Shuangxi escorted the women's family to the provincial capital. He took off his military uniform and changed into short trousers and jackets, dressed like a small follower, serving tea and water all the way, and serving thoughtfully.

They walked down the river and arrived at the provincial capital wharf in the evening. Passengers walked off the boat with big bags and small luggage and looked up. On the flagpole of the Port Authority Building, a dazzling sun flag fluttered in the wind. At the exit of the dock, two Japanese soldiers stood. Anyone who entered and left would have to bow to them, otherwise they would be beaten.

The first-class guest got off the boat first. The nurse was holding Xiao Baicai and the maid was holding Lin Wenjing. Xia Xiaoqing was injured and did not carry her luggage. She walked in front with empty hands. She was tall and stood out among the crowd, which quickly attracted the attention of several people.

There were three men standing in the corner of the port wall, Yishui's black long gown, top hat, sunglasses, a belt tied on the gown, and a mullet hanging on the puff. This inappropriate outfit, you can tell at a glance that they were from the provincial capital investigation team.

These three are old acquaintances of Xia Xiaoqing. After being killed by Zhao Ziming, only three tigers were left. They stayed in prison for three years. Not only did they not reform, but they became more arrogant. After the Japanese came, no one was willing to be a lackey. The three of them volunteered to serve the Imperial Army, won trust from behind, and became a member of the detective team, and were responsible for the security of the docks.

The second child touched the third child with his elbow and Nubuzied his mouth towards the passenger. The third child pushed his sunglasses and muttered: "This girl looks a little familiar, I'm afraid it's not... it's Chen Zikun's wife."

The fourth brother also discovered the situation and said, "Remain the truth, go and check it."

The three of them walked over and blocked their way: "Stop, who are you, where are you from and where are you going?"

Xia Xiaoqing looked closely and said disdainfully: "Get out."

"Oh, I'm very brave. I'll give you some excitement." The third brother reached out to pull out his gun and held it down, which was double happiness.

"Master, are you in trouble?" Shuangxi greeted him with a smile, but the rubbish in her hand held the third brother's waist and eyes.

The second and fourth brother were shocked. They were on duty at the dock for so long. For the first time, they saw someone who dared to act arrogantly under the noses of a Japanese. They immediately shouted and the sound of a broken gong echoed inside and outside the dock: "Come on, come quickly, catch anti-Japanese elements!"

A group of soldiers carrying stretchers came from behind, and the leader slapped the second son with a big mouth: "What are you shouting!"

The second child was stunned and covered his face and looked at the group of people. He was wearing military uniforms, carrying a big gun, with a cold eyebrows and a strong aura, and could not tell which part it was.

The Japanese soldiers on duty at the pier arrived. The people who came off the boat showed their documents and official documents. It turned out that they were the team responsible for sending the wounded to the provincial capital for medical treatment. Those who were lying on the stretcher were all the Imperial Army who were seriously injured during the Nantai mobilization operation.

The Japanese soldiers were in awe of reverence and stood attentively.

Sanhu was stunned. The Japanese did not help support them, and they did not dare to act rashly, so they had to watch the group of people leave.

After leaving the dock, two cars were already waiting at the door. One car took the seriously injured Chen Qilin to the hospital, while Xia Xiaoqing and Lin Wenjing got on another car with a Japanese flag on the front.

The streets of the provincial capital under the Japanese rule were not much different from before, except that they were a little deserted. Xia Xiaoqing specially asked the carman to take a walk to Fenglin Road and see where he had lived.

Fenglin Road has become the villa of senior Japanese officers. There are sandbags piled up at the intersection and machine guns. They cannot enter without a special pass. The former home has become the nest of robbers. It is really sad.

The one who received them was Liu Youjin, the chairman of Jiangdong Province. He endured humiliation and stayed in the provincial capital in order to prevent order chaos and the people from suffering. Now the general situation is settled, and he is unwilling to be a traitor and want to resign without doing anything, but the Japanese are unwilling to let him go and have to be the governor of Jiangdong.

In fact, there are many people who covet the position of pseudo-governor, including Sun Kaiqin, the governor of the past, Zhang Pengcheng, and Liu Yuzheng, an old Beiyang politician in the 1920s, also came out and wanted to be the governor again.

The Japanese chose puppets with principle. Officials from the Kuomintang system were given priority. It would be better if they had prestige and ability. Secondly, it was the turn of warlords and politicians in the Beiyang period. Liu Youjin served as the secretary-general of the provincial government for a long time. His qualifications and prestige were enough, and he was the governor.

Of course, Sun Kaiqin, Zhang Pengcheng and others were willing to serve, and they could not neglect their enthusiasm. So Sun Kaiqin came out and took office as the commander-in-chief of Jiangdong Province. A group of old subordinates also came to surrender. Only the old brother Duan Haixiang was unwilling to be a traitor and could not refuse.

Zhang Pengcheng was appointed as the director of the provincial police. He had great power and was able to compete with the provincial government. This was also a wonderful move by the Japanese. Only by letting the Chinese fight each other can we balance and restrain each other.

This is the situation in the provincial capital at present. Liu Youjin is unwilling to be the governor. The Japanese forced him to be the one, and the two stalemates were just like this.

Xia Xiaoqing, Lin Wenjing and others temporarily live in Liu Youjin's house. They rest for a few days before going to Shanghai. There are too many acquaintances in the provincial capital, and it will be troublesome if they are recognized. In comparison, the Shanghai Concession is the safest.

Liu Youjin used his identity to purchase a batch of disinfectant, bandages and other items for treatment of trauma, and sent it back to Jiangbei for use. As for the weapons and ammunition, he was powerless. The Japanese controlled it very strictly and could not get it at the moment.

Shuangxi transferred the task of protecting the two wives to Qingfeng, and returned to Beitai with the medicine, and went to Wang Sanliu's office to inquire about the information.

Wang Sanliu told him about the Japanese army's sweep route and the number of troops dispatched. Although Shuangxi was just an adjutant, she was influenced by Chen Zikun and had some knowledge of the strategic and tactical matters. The Japanese army dispatched a brigade-level army to sweep Jiangbei, which was to use a ox to kill chickens, and Nantai was in danger.

"I have to rush back immediately and ask Commander Wang to lend me a fast horse." Shuangxi said anxiously.

...

Nantai County is full of smoky mistresses. The Jiangbei Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Alliance is full of bandits and salt oxen, and the soldiers are rogues. Not only are there locals in Jiangbei, but also the defeated soldiers from Hubei and the habitual bandits from Henan who fled, they are all used to lawlessness, and they will not give anyone any face.

The bandits committed crimes in the county town, robbed and raped women everywhere, which was worse than the Japanese. But they were the anti-Japanese team under the name of the Anti-Japanese and National Saving Alliance. They were the anti-Japanese team under Commander-in-Chief Chen Zikun. Whoever dared not to obey would give him a hat as a traitor and traitor and shot him in the street.

Chen Zikun sent Gai Longquan to set up a law enforcement team to patrol the streets, specializing in catching the guys who harmed the people. He caught more than a dozen bad apples overnight, most of whom were from other counties, and they were all locked in the prison of the old county government. They were severely punished according to law when dawn was dawn.

Before dawn, commanders from all walks of life came to the door. None of them urinated the pot of Longquan, the bandit leader in Daqingshan, was all the old Huangsheng. Now it is the younger waves of the Yangtze River pushing the older waves, and each generation is stronger than the other.

The lobby of the county government is filled with heroes, all dressed in different styles, including those wearing military uniforms and horse boots, those wearing long gown jackets, those wearing box cannons, those wearing old sheepskin coats, and those wearing silk jackets. In short, there are various clothes and colors, and behind them are guards with big swords and shell guns.

"Commander-in-Chief is here!" With a shout, Chen Zikun came out of the back hall. In the dark green tweed uniform, three Venus representing the rank of general on the captain, tall, with a strict armed gait, sweeping his eyes, and being powerful without anger. The heroes were intimidated by his power, and they all stood up obediently, nodding and bowing, and their voices were different: "Hello Commander! Meet the Commander, and pay tribute to the Commander."

Chen Zikun sat down and said, "Sit down."

There was a sound of sitting on a chair.

"Last night, the law enforcement team dispatched and arrested fourteen bastards who harmed the common people. What do you think should be dealt with?" Chen Zikun asked.

"Kill!" Zhao Ziming, who was a railway worker, stood up and made a fierce gesture of cutting melons, "These animals are more hateful than the Japanese devils. You can't kill them!"

"**, who has opened his crotch and exposed you!" A man with a plaster on his forehead jumped up and pointed at Zhao Ziming and cursed, "Brother, who dares to touch me and fight with him!"

This man was named Hu Jinbiao. He had worked as a bandit, had rations, and had floods in Henan. He led a group of brothers to Jiangbei to find a way out, robbed the house, and occasionally attacked the Japanese. In short, he could go wherever he could get cheaper. He was the most powerful in the coalition, with five hundred guns.

"Fuck, I'm so proud, I dare to scold me!" Zhao Ziming pulled out two turtle boxes, which immediately caused a burst of laughter.

Hu Jinbiao also laughed loudly, pulled out a twenty-shot big-bellied gun from his waist, and slapped on the small table in front of him: "Look clearly, this is the gun used by mankind. If you have the affair, just hold the fire and see who will die first."

Zhao Ziming was furious and raised his gun to Hu Jinbiao's head. Both sides immediately raised their guns, tense and about to break out.

Chen Zikun couldn't stand it anymore and slapped the table, and the sound of thunder was like thunder: "Put down your gun! Rebel!"

The bandits dissatisfied with each other, but they still didn't dare to shy their hair in front of Chen Zikun, the real general. Hu Jinbiao beat him up and put down his gun first: "I'll give the commander-in-chief face and I won't bother with you."

Zhao Ziming also put down his gun angrily and turned his head aside.

Chen Zikun said: "These are all commanders of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Alliance, they are soldiers! They are not bandits! Soldiers take obeying orders as their duty, so there is no question of whom's face."

Hu Jinbiao also turned his face aside, with a very disdainful expression.

"Commander Ma, nine of these fourteen people are your brothers. What do you think should I deal with?" Chen Zikun asked.

"What else can I do? Brothers are going through life and death and beating Japan. What's the point of playing with a few girls? In my opinion, I'll just get rid of three glasses of wine." Hu Jinbiao said disapprovingly.

Chen Zikun thought for a while and said, "Okay, give me face, I will give you face, and bring your people back."

Chen Shou was quite surprised. He thought Chen Zikun would repeat the drama of shooting soldiers in the county yard. Unexpectedly, he just let it go quietly. Could it be that Chen Zikun is no longer Chen Zikun?

"Thank you!" Hu Jinbiao stood up and bowed, and swayed with his subordinates who were committing the crime.

The commanders from all walks of life also dispersed, only Chen Shougai Longquan Zhao Ziming and others stayed.

"Uncle Kun, the surname Hu is not a thing, why do you give him a good look?" Zhao Ziming gritted his teeth.

Chen Zikun said: "He has more than 500 people under his command. We will suffer a loss when fighting. Let's stabilize him first and drink at night. Everyone obeys my orders and arrest and execute Ma Jinbiao to serve as a warning to you!"

Everyone was excited. Chen Zikun was still the brave and ruthless handsome man who used to be.
