"Be careful, be careful, don't dig, there's something underneath!"
"This is a black pottery vase, my God, the shape is perfect."
"Also over here, Professor Li, I found a stone sickle!"
"..."
The archaeological team members have gone crazy. In just two days, they unearthed more than 100 pieces of various ancient cultural relics. Especially the black pottery, which is completely different in style from all known pottery today, and is the first discovery in the world.
Zhou Hexuan squatted next to him smoking and asked Zou Huaiping cheerfully: "How big is your security team?"
Zou Huaiping answered truthfully: "There are 3,000 people in the security group, and there are thousands of people in the Red Spear congregation."
"Awesome!" Zhou Hexuan exclaimed in admiration. He could not have imagined that his unintentional act would actually create a small warlord. Huang Ziming's strength can already dominate the Luzhong area. After all, this place is a power vacuum with no control.
Zou Huaiping said: "It was difficult to raise military pay, and the relationship between the regiment commander and the local gentry became increasingly tense."
Zhou Hexuan smiled and did not answer, because this was an inevitable result.
Last year, bandits were raging in the central Shandong area, and hungry people were everywhere. Businessmen and gentry could not even guarantee their lives, and they desperately hoped that strong figures would step forward to stabilize the place. So when Huang Ziming was appointed by the chairman of Shandong Province to secretly form a security corps in central Shandong, these people
Rich people are very enthusiastic about giving money and food.
According to normal practice, Huang Ziming should raise the bandits to respect themselves, while dealing with the small bandits, while keeping the big bandits to scare people, so that the gentry can continuously support him.
But Huang Ziming was too arrogant. He hated bandits and actually wiped out all the bandits in the vicinity.
The businessmen and landowners looked at it and said, hey, the bandits are gone and we are safe, so why do we need the security team? It's a waste of food, so just cancel the security team.
As a result, Huang Ziming found it difficult to raise military pay. He was too determined to engage in evil deeds and refused to do bad things. As a result, he became increasingly poor and the soldiers under his command did not even have enough to eat.
If you want to be a warlord in troubled times, you have to abandon your bottom line. Justice and kindness will be obstacles.
Zhou Hexuan smiled bitterly and said: "Killing people and setting fires with gold belts, building bridges and paving roads without corpses. This has been the case in ancient and modern times. Let you Captain Huang learn bad things."
Zou Huaiping said: "That won't work. The military adviser said that we are a team of ordinary people and we must do good things for the ordinary people."
"Military advisor?" Zhou Hexuan felt excited when he heard this.
Zou Huaiping said: "Yes, the military advisor is very powerful. He also taught us how to read. I have already learned more than 200 characters."
Zhou Hexuan asked: "Have your military advisors taught you any other great principles?"
"They talked a lot of truth," Zou Huaiping said. "The military advisor said that we should attack the evil gentry, open warehouses and provide food, and help the people. But the regiment commander did not agree. I think what the military advisor said was reasonable, and the evil gentry should be robbed."
Zhou Hexuan extremely suspected that the so-called military advisor was probably a member of our party.
Historically, the Red Party began to join the Red Spear Association in 1927 and established many early armed forces in Shandong.
However, due to various reasons, these armed forces lost contact with the organization for a long time and were in a state of fragmentation. It was not until the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War that Yan'an sent many political workers to unite these armed forces of the Red Spear Society and made great contributions to the anti-Japanese war behind enemy lines.
.
How powerful are the anti-Japanese guerrillas behind enemy lines in Shandong?
At first, the guerrillas of the National Army joined forces with the Red Party guerrillas to fight against the Japanese. But as they continued to fight, they turned their guns and joined forces with the Japanese army to deal with the Red Party guerrillas. Chang Kaishen even secretly ordered that the generals of the National Army who were fighting guerrillas would rather
Even if you surrender to the enemy and become a puppet army, you must never surrender to the Red Party.
At this time, Sun Liangcheng, Chairman of Shandong Province, considered himself a traitor. In fact, he was acting according to Chang Kaishen's thinking and felt at ease as a puppet soldier.
The Red Party guerrillas in Shandong faced a double blow from the Japanese army and the Nationalist army. Although they suffered extremely heavy losses, they fought more and more and became more courageous as they fought, becoming an important armed force of our party.
Zhou Hexuan didn't ask for details. He didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing. He just said a few words and ran to see the archaeological excavation.
At noon, everyone sat on the floor.
Drinking cold water and eating cereal steamed buns, everyone's face was extremely excited, and they shared their harvests with each other.
Li Ji said happily: "Mingcheng, this is a big discovery. The archaeological value is not even inferior to that of the oracle bone inscriptions of the Yin Shang Dynasty."
"Congratulations then." Zhou Hexuan said.
Li Ji smiled and said: "We should be happy together. You are also a member of the archaeological team."
Wu Jinding suddenly shouted: "Teacher, another soldier is here."
Different from Wu Jinding's reminder, Zhou Hexuan and Li Ji could also hear it. More than ten horses were galloping towards them, and the noise was quite loud.
Huang Ziming jumped off the horse, walked over with a smile and clasped his fists, saying: "Hello Mr. Zhou, hello fellow scholars!"
Li Ji asked: "Mingcheng, who is this officer?"
Zhou Hexuan introduced: "Huang Ziming, the leader of the Luzhong Security Group."
Li Ji quickly said: "Thank you, Captain Huang, for your help, otherwise it would be difficult for us to carry out archaeological work."
This is true. If Huang Ziming had not come forward to make arrangements, it is estimated that the landowners would not be willing to sell their land to them for digging.
"No, no," Huang Ziming said with a smile, "If it weren't for Mr. Zhou, there would be no Luzhong Security Group, and I, Huang Ziming, would not be where I am today. Mr. Zhou's business is my business. If I don't help, I will be too shameless to be a human being!"
What Huang Ziming said was enough. Li Ji looked at Zhou Hexuan in surprise, wondering what the relationship between the two was.
Zhou Hexuan smiled and explained: "I helped Captain Huang a little."
"It's not just a small favor, it's a huge favor!" Huang Ziming immediately emphasized. He waved and said, "Here comes someone, bring the meat over here!"
Several soldiers took down cloth bags from their horses, and each bag contained soy donkey meat.
Huang Ziming said embarrassedly: "Dear scholars, if you come to Luzhong to conduct academic research, you are my guests, and you should treat them well. But I am also poor and can't even feed soldiers. These donkey meat in sauce, or
I haven't been willing to eat the old donkey that died of illness a while ago, so I'm giving it to you as a meeting gift today. Don't think this gift is shabby!"
"Captain Huang Renyi!" Li Ji said with emotion.
Huang Ziming didn't stay long, clasped his fists and said: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"
This person came and went just as quickly, disappearing on horseback in a flash. The archaeological team members talked a lot:
"This Captain Huang is interesting. He is not like an ordinary warlord."
"He is a good man. I heard from the farmers who dug the archaeological pit that Commander Huang specializes in doing good things and manages the army very strictly."
"It's really strange that there is such a person among warlords."
"When Captain Huang met Mr. Zhou, it was like a student meeting a teacher. What kind of relationship do they have?"
"Maybe he is Mr. Zhou's student."
"Mr. Zhou is still very powerful, and he has managed to keep the warlords in check."
"..."
Zhou Hexuan ignored everyone's comments and wandered around the ground eating soy donkey meat. He looked around at the archaeological results and picked up a piece of black pottery as a souvenir when no one was paying attention.
In the afternoon, the hired farmers continued to dig holes. Suddenly they felt a little difficult while digging, and thought they had dug into the rock layer.
Zhou Hexuan squatted nearby and watched the excitement. He said sharply: "Isn't this the city wall that has been dug?"
Wu Jinding jumped down to take a closer look. After a moment, he suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs: "The ancient city wall is the ancient city wall of prehistoric civilization!"
