Zhou Hexuan was very tragic. He didn't even see his second uncle, Zhang Yuanxi, and was directly turned away.
In the hotel, Zhou Hexuan crossed his legs and kept tapping the armrests with his fingers, thinking about how to solve the problem.
Sun Yonghao gnawed on an unpeeled sour pear and said without hesitation: "Sir, let me tell you. You should run away with Miss Zhang, cook the rice until you have a child, and then take her back to your parents' home, my father-in-law."
Why don’t you hold your nose and admit it?”
"You are just talking nonsense. How can you interfere in my husband's marriage?" Sun Yongzhen immediately scolded his younger brother.
"Haha, I'm just talking." Sun Yonghao rubbed his forehead and smiled silly.
Zhou Hexuan said to himself: "Since Mr. Zhang likes to vassal power, if you want to persuade him, you need to start from this aspect... Yonghao, go and buy me all the Jiangxi local newspapers you can find on the market.
!”
"Okay!" Sun Yonghao went out happily.
Half an hour later, Sun Yonghao came back with a thick stack of newspapers.
Zhou Hexuan focused on reading current affairs news, and soon found the news he wanted: Zhu Peide, chairman of the Jiangxi Provincial Government, is currently recuperating in a villa in Lushan.
Last month, Zhu Peide also went to Peiping, where he, together with Chang Kaishen, Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan and others, held a memorial ceremony in front of the former Prime Minister's funeral. Then he participated in the Tangshan Conference (spoils distribution conference) and participated in the discussion of military consolidation plans.
and military opinions.
It was also during this period that Zhu Peide contracted the disease and stayed in Peking Union Medical College Hospital for several days. He did not even attend the Fifth Plenary Session of the Kuomintang Central Committee in Nanjing, so he returned to Jiangxi and resigned from the position of chairman of the provincial government, but was
He persuaded her to stay, and then took refuge in the Lushan villa to "recuperate".
In fact, Zhu Peide's illness had already recovered. He just didn't want to be ordered to go to Jingshan to "suppress bandits" because Mr. Zhu was always his best friend.
It was for this reason that Zhu Peide "recuperated" in Lushan last year. At that time, Chang Kaishen asked Zhu Peide to clean up the party. Zhu Peide knew clearly that Mr. Zhu had problems, but he handed over all the military and political power in Nanchang to Mr. Zhu and hid in Lushan far away.
The result was the Nanchang Uprising.
Zhou Hexuan did not want to get involved in the dispute between the two parties. He had only one purpose and asked Zhu Peide to help him be a matchmaker.
Zhou Hexuan asked around about Zhu Peide's preferences, and found that Zhu Peide was not a prostitute, gambler, or money lover, and could not find any weakness that could be used to flatter and make friends with him.
There was no other way, so Zhou Hexuan could only come to see him empty-handed.
Lushan Villa.
Zhu Peide had had breakfast and was reading the newspaper when suddenly his secretary came in and reported: "Chairman, there is Mr. Zhou Hexuan outside asking for an audience."
"Is it Zhou Hexuan who wrote "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" and contacted the Northeastern Yi Zhi?" Zhu Peide was in Peiping some time ago and had heard about Zhou Hexuan. He said, "Please come in, Mr. Zhou."
At this time, Zhu Peide was already a little happy. He looked at the soldier's hair and sat there with a calm demeanor.
Zhou Hexuan clasped his fists and said, "Chairman Zhu, please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting."
"Sit down, please," Zhu Peide said with a smile, "I stayed in Pingjin some time ago, but I often heard rumors about Mr. Zhou. Especially the people in Tianjin said that Mr. Zhou is a great benefactor. There is also Mr.'s book "
"The Chrysanthemum and the Knife", I read it a lot when I was recuperating in the hospital, and I benefited a lot from it."
"The words of one family make people laugh." Zhou Hexuan said modestly.
Historically, on the eve of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhu Peide suddenly died of illness.
Chang Kaishen seriously suspected that Japanese agents had poisoned him, and ordered Dai Li to thoroughly investigate the cause of Zhu Peide's death. Although the investigation was inconclusive, it could reflect that Zhu Peide occupied a very important position in the preparations for the Anti-Japanese War. Zhu Peide was also actively anti-Japanese.
After the January 18th Incident, they demanded resistance to Japan.
It is a pity that Zhu Peide passed away before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. Otherwise, with his military talents and active anti-Japanese attitude, he might still be able to command and fight a few beautiful battles.
"It's not just a family opinion," Zhu Peide waved his hand and said, "I met with Brother Baili three years ago, and he often said that the Japanese will be China's greatest enemy in the future as long as we are determined to destroy them."
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "It just so happened that I met Brother Baili last month, and I shamelessly asked him for a calligraphy treasure."
"Oh, is Brother Baili in good health?" Zhu Peide asked.
"I cough occasionally, it's a chronic problem." Zhou Hexuan said.
Zhu Peide sighed: "He was too hot-tempered. He would pull out a gun and commit suicide whenever he disagreed with him. As a result, he developed old problems that are difficult to heal."
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "But it was a blessing in disguise, I found a gentle and virtuous Japanese lady."
"Hahahaha, that's right." Zhu Peide laughed.
Jiang Baili's wife, Zuo Mei, whose original name was Satoya Noboru, was the Japanese nurse who was hired to take care of Jiang Baili after he committed suicide and was injured.
Although Zuo Mei is Japanese, she became a Chinese citizen after marrying Jiang Baili. Even if war broke out between China and Japan, she always stood by her husband and the Chinese people.
Because of their common friends, Zhu Peide and Zhou Hexuan became much closer.
Zhu Peide asked: "Is Mr. Zhou confident about the change of flag in Northeast China? How did Marshal Zhang consider it?"
"Shaoshuai Zhang wants to unify China from the bottom of his heart. He is also a patriot," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile. "Speaking of patriotism, there is another model figure in Northeast China."
"Who?" Zhu Peide asked.
"Feng Delin's son Feng Yong," Zhou Hexuan said, "after his father passed away, Feng Yong spent all his family wealth and raised more than 10,000 yuan to start education. His school is free of tuition and focuses on science and engineering. No matter the teacher in the school
As a student, I have to undergo military training every day to prepare for future wars with the Japanese."
"Is this possible?" Zhu Peide said with admiration, "He is truly a patriotic man, but it's a pity that he never got to meet him."
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "There will be many opportunities in the future."
Zhu Peide sighed and said: "There is still a big gap between China and Japan. Fortunately, now that the country is about to be unified, we can work hard to develop industry. China has a vast land, rich resources, and a large population. As long as it tolerates development, it will one day be able to catch up with Japan."
"I think so too." Zhou Hexuan agreed, but he sighed in his heart: reunification does not mean fighting every year, the golden ten years is just a nice thing to say.
Zhu Peide was also a patriot at heart. Among the generals of the Northern Expedition, only Zhu Peide and Feng Yuxiang were open to the Red Party, and he did it more boldly. Those who were willing to leave the Red Party were sent out by Zhu Peide with military replenishment and gifts; those who were willing to stay were sent out.
The red party, Zhu Peide, still uses it, and still entrusts him with important tasks, such as Mr. Zhu.
Historically, when Zhu Peide passed away, he left three last words to Chang Kaishen: First, the Anti-Japanese War is imminent and the national power is limited. After my death, please bury me in a simple manner. Second, my family and children, let them support themselves and do not take care of me favorably.
.Third, don’t blame Ms. Ye (family nurse). This is because our country’s medical science is inadequate and cannot eliminate the virus.
The two talked about the United States from Japan. Zhou Hexuan said: "Chairman Zhu, the United States is likely to have an economic crisis next year. By then, American industrial equipment and industrial talents will be extremely cheap. If Jiangxi wants to develop its local economy, it can take the opportunity to cooperate with the United States."
"Really?" Zhu Peide said in surprise.
Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "This is my guess. It is based on scientific judgment. We will know it in due time. If Chairman Zhu is interested, I can help contact him after the US economic crisis breaks out."
"Then it'll be hard work." Zhu Peide didn't take it too seriously. Who knows what will happen in the future?
The two chatted for a whole morning, and Zhu Peide persuaded Zhou Hexuan to stay for lunch.
Lunch was very simple, a home-cooked meal, and Zhu Peide's wife and children were also there.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Zhou Hexuan explained his intention: "Chairman Zhu, I have an unkind invitation."
"Please speak," Zhu Peide said.
Zhou Hexuan then told the story in detail, including Song Ziwen's incident.
Zhu Peide laughed and said, "It seems I can't escape. Song Ziwen came to Lushan last year specifically to find me, otherwise he wouldn't have had the chance to contact the Zhang family. Don't worry, I will be the one who will be able to do it this month."
When lovers finally get married, it is considered a great merit."
"So, thank you very much!" Zhou Hexuan saluted with clasped fists.
That night, Zhou Hexuan stayed at Zhu Peide's Lushan villa. Early in the morning the next day, he and Zhu Peide went straight to the Zhang family's lakeside house.
With the chairman of the Jiangxi Provincial Government acting as a matchmaker, Zhang Mouzhi couldn't refuse. 8
