Chapter 119 Immortals descended from Kunlun Mountain
When Jiang Cheng opened his eyes, the familiar sense of oppression came to his body again. Jiang Cheng knew that this was a sign that the radius of the space had reached eight meters. Jiang Cheng looked around and found that the top of his head was made of cloth and wood.
The ceiling was built, and there were wooden walls several meters high on both sides of the valley. Together with the ceiling, the entire valley was covered.
Jiang Cheng walked to the door and shouted, "The lights are on!"
The soldiers guarding outside the door were so frightened by the roar that they almost dropped their guns. They couldn't understand why a person suddenly appeared in the valley that should have been empty.
Jiang Cheng was picked up by Zhou Guansheng from Yuci. Looking at Zhou Guansheng with a serious face, Jiang Cheng said with a shy face, "Chairman Zhou, what's wrong with you? Is someone making you unhappy? Tell me and I'll go."
Take care of him."
Zhou Guansheng glared and said, "You're the one who made me angry, you little brat. Do you know how important you are? How about it? Doesn't it feel good to be a hero saving a beauty?"
Jiang Cheng didn't dare to refute in front of Zhou Guansheng, so he could only sit there and listen.
Zhou Guansheng continued, "Xiao Jiang, we understand that you are worried because your relatives and friends have been arrested, and we will use our power to help you, but why do you put yourself in danger? Once you have any shortcomings, you will be rescued.
What can I do? Your status is too special. I hope you will be more mature and steady in your future actions. Do you understand?"
Jiang Cheng kept nodding like a primary school student.
Zhou Guansheng shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You just came back from Nanjing. How is it over there?"
Jiang Cheng then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The people in Nanjing have begun to evacuate, and it is generally stable. However, the National Army still suffered heavy losses as in history, and my reminder to the Jinshan Guards still had no effect."
Zhou Guansheng smiled and said, "It's not that it doesn't work, it's that there is nothing we can do. Even if there are 300,000 troops in Jinshan Guard, there will be no fundamental change. Japanese warships can attack us from a distance, but we can't hit them. That's all.
Not to mention this, according to the information we just obtained, the guarding general in Nanjing is still Tang Zhisheng."
Jiang Cheng said in surprise, "Has Agent Jiang still not learned his lesson? I have already reminded him, but he still doesn't believe me?"
Zhou Guansheng looked at Jiang Cheng playfully and said, "Tell me, other than Tang Zhisheng, who wants to seize the opportunity to seize military power and has the trust of Jiang's intermediary, who else is willing to bear the responsibility of losing the capital?"
Jiang Cheng immediately understood. Who would be willing to bear the loss of the city and the land? He said, "The only thing we can do is to evacuate the people as much as possible."
Zhou Guansheng nodded and said, "We are already making some preparations, and the Nationalist Government is also making this now. But there will definitely be people who are unable to leave and those who are unwilling to leave. For these people, we can only contact our international friends and try our best to provide them with some protection."
.After all, not everyone has the ability to travel long distances, and not everyone is willing to leave Nanjing."
Jiang Cheng sighed with understanding. Many Chinese people today still have illusions about the Japanese. Many people even think that it would be better to let the Japanese rule China. This is the same as the feeling in some places in later generations that the British or Japanese rule
It will be better. I can only say that no matter what age, naive fools will always exist.
Jiang Cheng changed the subject and said, "This time I brought a lot of weapons that can be used to fight planes and tanks. With these, we are not afraid of the little devils."
"We are not afraid of little devils in the first place." A strong and powerful voice came. When the two of them saw it, it was Mr. Zhu.
Mr. Zhu chuckled and said, "Xiao Jiang, you caused such a big scene in Shanghai. Alas, I'm not criticizing you. I think differently from Lao Zhou. Lao Zhou thinks you don't understand the general situation. I think
You are kind and righteous, come here, come sit here with me, and ignore this guy who only thinks about the overall situation."
Zhou Guansheng smiled and said, "Mr. Zhu, you are so unjust. When I saw that Xiao Jiang brought good things, I immediately stopped using my old friend."
Jiang Cheng quickly said, "Mr. Zhu, you've come down from the front line, is it okay?"
When Mr. Zhu heard this, he pointed at the map and said, "The Japs have gathered most of the main forces in North China to fight with us here at Xinkou. No one can do anything about anyone now. The key now is to see whether Niangzi Pass can be defended."
Living."
Jiang Cheng asked, "Has there been any change in Niangziguan?"
Mr. Zhu nodded and said, "I asked the 129th Division to go to Niangziguan for support and fought with the Japs in Qigen Village. The Japs' strength was about the same as we expected, but the number of them was much larger. First, there was only the 20th Division;
They were surrounded by the 17th Division, but then the Japanese sent the 14th Division and the 109th Division. It is said that part of the 108th Division was also moving towards Niangziguan. Once they joined forces, the troops here would
The Japs are not something we can handle. Now Yan Xishan is gathering troops everywhere to block the attack at Niangzi Pass, but I am not optimistic about it. The command is inconsistent, the equipment is poor, and the fortifications are incomplete. The small victory in the front has led to the current Niangzi Pass.
The troops in the direction have become arrogant soldiers. I wrote to Huang Shaohong to ask him to pay attention to the trail at Niangziguan, but he laughed at me. It was really ridiculous. Forget it, the situation is like this, we just have to do our own thing well.
.”
Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement and said, "Now we just have to wait for the Battle of Taiyuan. Mr. Zhu, those weapons must be distributed as soon as possible so that the soldiers can learn from them."
Mr. Zhu chuckled and said, "Don't worry, our Eighth Route Army headquarters is still here. I plan to let the directly affiliated troops learn how to use it. Then they can be directly transferred to the combat troops. This way, we can familiarize ourselves with the equipment as quickly as possible and ensure that
This ensures that the combat effectiveness of combat troops will not be affected by new equipment.”
At this time, a signal soldier came in and said, "Report, Central Emergency Telegram."
Mr. Zhu took it and took a look, frowned and said, "He's finally back. I hope there won't be any trouble."
——Yan'an
"The gods on Kunlun Mountain are back." Chairman Mao said as he looked at the sunset in the yard.
"Chairman? Who is this god?" Xiao Wang, the guard next to him, asked curiously.
Chairman Mao took a puff of cigarette and said, "Of course gods are people who descend from the sky."
Xiao Wang scratched his head, feeling even more confused. Chairman Mao did not explain, but turned around and said, "Go and call Comrade Li Kerong over immediately. I have some things to tell you."
On the other side, Wang Ming was on the plane from Dihua to Yan'an. Looking at the clouds below, he couldn't help but recall the scenes in the Soviet Union.
More than half a month ago, Wang Ming came to Stalin's office excitedly and saw Dimitrov and Wang Jiaxiang, the head of the Comintern, sitting there.
Stalin smoked his pipe and said, "How many members of the Red Party are there in Yan'an now?"
Wang Jiaxiang answered honestly, "There are 30,000 party members."
"It's three hundred thousand." Wang Ming quickly corrected in Russian. Russian, like English, does not have the word "ten thousand" and uses thousands as the unit.
Wang Jiaxiang looked at Wang Ming incomprehensively, but did not speak.
When Stalin heard that there were 300,000, he was a little worried and said, "I remember that when China was at its most, it was only 300,000. Why are there so many in Yan'an now? Well, we can't just expand the number of people. Every member of the Red Party should be
Fighters, not breadwinners."
Wang Ming couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw that Stalin did not pay attention to the expense report.
Stalin continued, "On the issue of anti-Japanese resistance, the Chinese Red Party should, like France, obey the orders of the United Front."
Next to him, Dimitrov also said, "The strength of the Chinese Red Party is still very weak, so don't emphasize independence and obey orders. Also, Comrade Wang Ming, the leader of the Chinese Red Party is not you now, but Mao Yongzhi.
You must be humble and never make your own decisions."
The more Wang Ming thought about it, the more excited and confused his heart became. He was finally back.
Soon, the plane landed. Wang Ming walked out of the cabin door and saw that the president and several major leaders were there, so he walked out with a smile.
Chairman Mao came up and said, "Welcome to our beloved international friends, welcome to the comrades who have returned from the Soviet Union. It is a great joy for you to return to Yan'an. This is called 'joy falling from the sky.' You are like gods descending from the sky."
As soon as Wang Ming saw Chairman Mao, he immediately said, "We are sent by the Red Party International, sent by Comrade Stalin. We are all representatives of our party in the Red Party International. There is nothing worthy of welcome and we should be welcomed."
It’s Comrade Mao Yongzhi.”
When he said this, several people around him felt a little strange. Chairman Mao continued to smile and said, "Okay, okay, let's go to eat. There is nothing good in Yan'an. It's just mediocre food. Don't be offended."
Wang Ming walked quickly to the front and said, "We are all from Ge Ming, don't talk about such nonsense."
Several people who came to greet him twisted their mouths, not knowing what to say.
During dinner, Wang Ming was surprised to find that there were bacon and ham in the dishes, and the guard next to him was not as greedy as he thought when he saw the dishes. Wang Ming remained calm and just talked loudly, talking about Marxism-Leninism and the Soviet Union.
For a moment, everyone was actually attracted by his speech. After all, at this time, Wang Ming's status as a theoretical authority suddenly rose. Chairman Mao looked at Wang Ming's performance and just smiled and did not talk nonsense. He knew what was going to happen next.
Having firmly believed in his own path, he only felt a little pity for Wang Ming.
The next day when everyone was going to look for Wang Ming, they found that Wang Ming had already gone out. It turned out that Wang Ming felt from the meal he had eaten last night that the situation in the border area seemed to be different from what he thought, so he secretly left Yan'an and prepared to go there.
Looking around, everyone felt that this was really unorganized and disciplined, but when they thought they were from the Soviet Union, it was hard to say anything.
Chairman Mao shook his head and said, "The gods have left. Let's go talk about the increase in population in the border areas."
Wang Ming rode a horse and led two guards out of the city quickly. After a while, he arrived at a village. Wang Ming felt a little tired, so he came down to find a bowl of water to drink. When he was about to enter the village, he suddenly saw a group of people.
Come out of the village with your tools.
Wang Ming asked curiously, "Fellow, what are you going to do?"
The leader was an old man with a white sweat scarf on his head. When he saw Wang Ming followed by two guards, he knew it should be a chief. He quickly stepped forward and said, "This chief, we are from the Miaohe Village Brigade. My name is He."
Second brother, we are preparing to repair the water channel."
Wang Ming asked curiously, "Can I go and have a look?"
He Laoer smiled and replied, "Of course." He turned around and said, "Folks, the chief is here to inspect today. We have to work harder." The team members behind him shouted.
After a while, everyone arrived at the construction site. They only saw people carrying their shoulders, using shovels and hoes to dig water channels. This is the lifeblood of the field. With water channels, water can be diverted into the fields, increasing food production.
It can be greatly improved. What's more important is that the fields in northern Shaanxi have become barren and droughts often occur during thousands of years of continuous reclamation. Without the ability to change the weather, how to effectively use every drop of water is the most important key.
.
Wang Ming saw that there were no children in this team. You must know that most children in this period could not study, but helped with work at home. Even if it was such a matter as digging channels, children would often come to help.
Then he asked curiously, "Uncle, why don't you see the children?"
He Laoer wiped his sweat with a sweat towel and said, "The kids are all studying, so it's better for you Red Party members. When did we poor people study and write letters? No, the town sent a gentleman. I heard it's better."
Here are the scholars from Peking."
When Wang Ming heard this, he was surprised and said, "Is there such a thing? You're from Peking." He thought to himself that he was probably a member of the Red Party in Peiping. He didn't care and asked again, "Uncle, how do you feel about the government now? I want to hear the truth.
If you have any grievances, just say it."
The uncle thought for a while and said, "I can only think of good things. Look, chief, the hoe in my hand is made of fine iron and is worth a lot of money. The government gave it to us directly and let us exchange it for work points."
, I said, Chief, think about it, what are the work points? They are all things we should do. For example, today, we are digging ditches. This is to build water conservancy. This is what our farmers want to do most. This is
It's worth a lot of work points, but there are some things I don't quite understand, like building a greenhouse. How much does it cost to build a greenhouse with so many bricks and coal? What's the use of building it? It says you can eat vegetables.
We ordinary people have been eating pickles every day for our entire lives. What is the use of such precious vegetables?
I also heard that someone will come to guide us in planting apple trees in the near future. Whether this is good or not, I am just worried about whether we can sell so many apples. Chief, what do you think?"
Wang Ming was so dizzy after being told on the phone, what was going on, planting fruit trees, repairing water conservancy, and having greenhouses, and work points, these things he had never heard of in the Soviet Union, and he murmured in his heart.
"It seems that the border area is indeed hiding something."
At this time, a young man ran over and said, "Dad, here it comes, here it comes, a factory has come to the town."
He Laoer said nonchalantly, "It's just a factory. What's there to say? Is it a brick factory or a furniture factory?"
The young man shook his head and said, "No, I heard that he moved here from Shanghai and is a cigarette maker."
When He Laoer heard this, his eyes widened and he said, "Ah, bah, some unscrupulous guy opened it. We finally got rid of all the tobacco smoke. Now there are two smoking cessation centers in the village. Why now?"
There is also a cigarette factory. I will go talk to the mayor right now." Then he looked at Wang Ming and said, "Chief, you have to take care of this matter. This big smoke must not appear in our place again no matter what.
It’s over.”
The young man quickly stamped his feet and said, "Which one says it's cigarettes? It's dry cigarettes, the dry cigarettes you usually smoke, Dad. This is a dry cigarette factory, but they say they are a cigarette factory. I don't know what the difference is."
"Dad, I want to go to the factory." He said looking at the old man eagerly.
He Laoer's face looked better now and he said, "Let me just say, the government will not do such a thing. Baby, I know you don't want to dig in the soil all your life. Your eldest brother went with the army to fight the Japanese. Your second brother went
The mine is over, and you are the only male in the family. If you leave again, what will happen to our fields?"
The young man said, "Dad, can't Third Sister do it too? Fifth Sister is just a child, but Third Sister has grown up."
He Laoer scolded, "Nonsense, your third sister is getting married, how can you keep helping our family? I would rather your third sister go to that cigarette factory than you."
"Really, dad promised me to go?" A girl with braids and patched clothes appeared out of nowhere. The only bright color on her body was probably the red rope on her braids. She said with a smile.
"Dad will keep his promise. I'm going to the factory."
Only then did He Laoer realize that he had fallen into a trap, and he said angrily and funnyly, "You girl, what's so good about that factory that you can deceive your father like this?"
The girl said with a smile, "For no other reason than I heard that you will get a new set of clothes when you enter the factory. That's why I want to enter the factory."
He Laoer looked at the clothes she was wearing that had so many patches that it was hard to see their original appearance and sighed, "This is what my mother left behind. You still don't care about it. You just had two better days, so don't you?"
I know how to cherish it, alas."
The girl didn't say anything, she just tugged at the corner of her clothes, with tears in her eyes. He Laoer couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw it, and quickly said, "Okay, just go, but that's not the mining factory where your second brother went. What should I say there?"
It’s, um, oh, private. This is what my husband taught me, this is a private factory.”
Before he finished speaking, Wang Ming suddenly interrupted and said, "What did you say? A private factory? Is that cigarette factory private?"
He Laoer's son nodded doubtfully and said, "Yes, there have been quite a few recently. It is said that they are encouraged by the government."
"What, are you still encouraging?" Wang Ming was so angry that he immediately rode his horse and ran to the town. He Laoer looked at Wang Ming who was leaving with confusion. He didn't know what he said wrong, shook his head and continued.
"In short, be careful when you go. Okay, I have to work. I can't chat all the time. I am the captain. I have to lead by example."
The girl stuck out her tongue and ran away like the wind. He Laoer's son also hurriedly ran to find the villager who recorded the work points and expressed his willingness to only get half of the work points. Now he went to work on the construction site, which was agreed.
, for the villagers at this time, work points that can be exchanged for salt, tools, cloth, and anything they want are their most precious wealth. If anyone takes away their work points, they can fight him to death.
