Hu Shi was very excited along the way, and seemed to feel that he had become a fighter for democracy. Call him naive or cowardly, anyway, this guy is really for democracy. But his democracy is "the democracy of free intellectuals".
It is diametrically opposed to the "revolutionary democracy" of the leftists.
So two years ago, Hu Shi became a pioneer in the pursuit of democratic constitutionalism, and was forced by the Shanghai Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang to flee overseas. So two months later, because he did not agree with the concepts of civil rights and democracy, he did not hesitate to lie publicly, thus following the Shanghai party.
Help leftists break up.
Everyone came to Zhang Xueliang's private residence in Peiping. Before they entered, a young man in a suit came out and said calmly: "Hello, gentlemen, my name is Wang Zhuoran, and I am Han Shuai's secretary. I will be responsible for taking care of you today."
You all go to the army prison."
"Brother Zhuo Ran, long time no see!" Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.
Wang Zhuoran smiled, nodded and said: "Brother Mingcheng, Han Shuai even misses you. You should come and move around more in the future."
"Haha, let's talk about it later." Zhou Hexuan was noncommittal.
Wang Zhuoran belongs to Zhang Xueliang's confidant. Before Zhang Xueliang took charge of the army, he had already become good friends with Wang Zhuoran. This man was born in an ordinary peasant family in Liaoning. He was admitted to the normal school through hard work (because the normal school is free of tuition fees.
), joined the Young Men's Christian Church during his studies, and happened to meet Zhang Xueliang, who was also a Christian.
When Zhou Hexuan just traveled through time, Wang Zhuoran was studying in the United States. After Zhang Xueliang came to power in Northeast China, Wang Zhuoran happened to return to China and was hired as a professor at Northeastern University. He also served as Zhang Xueliang's adviser and tutor for the Zhang family's children.
Zhou Hexuan only met Wang Zhuoran before the September 18th Incident broke out.
At that time, Wang Zhuoran accompanied Zhang Xueliang to recuperate, while Zhou Hexuan repeatedly persuaded Zhang Xueliang to be on guard against the Japanese in advance. The two chatted a lot in private. Wang Zhuoran admired Zhou Hexuan's knowledge and insights very much, and he could be considered a friend of the same people.
Zhang Xueliang’s group of secretaries and adjutants can be regarded as a stronghold of patriotism, bringing together today’s patriots from various factions. These patriots have a variety of political ideas, but one common feature is that they are young, and they are basically between 20 and 35 years old.
between years.
Some of Zhang Xueliang's secretaries and adjutants are traitors to our party, some will be important figures in our party in the future, and there are also many youth party, National Socialist Party and democratic figures.
For example, the Wang Zhuoran in front of me is one of the founders of the future "Jiusan Society". His current identity is Zhang Xueliang's diplomatic secretary, but his real position is the executive director of the "Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Salvation Association", responsible for organizing and leading the Northeast
civil anti-Japanese activities.
Zhang Xueliang is really interesting this time. He actually sent a patriot who sympathizes with the Communist Party to serve as a receptionist for the China Civil Rights Protection Alliance. This is tantamount to saying, you can do whatever you want. I don’t support or object to it.
Whether you can rescue the Communists from prison depends on your own abilities.
When Yang Xingfo saw this, he said happily: "It turns out that Mingcheng and Secretary Wang are old friends, so we are all our own people!"
Wang Zhuoran spoke very calmly and said with a calm face: "I will take you all to visit the Peking Army Prison now."
Accompanied by Wang Zhuoran, everyone came to No. 21 Paoju Hutong in the east city of Peiping, which is where the Peking Army Prison is located. At this moment, it is where political (harmony) prisoners are imprisoned. For example, the famous anti-Japanese patriotic general Ji Hongchang will be imprisoned next year.
He was going to be imprisoned here and was ordered to be shot by Chang Kaishen. Before his death, Ji Hongchang used a tree branch to write a desperate poem in the snow: "I wish I could die resisting the Japanese and leave it as a shame today. How can I regret that the country is broken like this?"
This head."
During the period of the All-out Anti-Japanese War, this place became a concentration camp for the Japanese army, known as "China's Auschwitz". Countless bodies of Chinese soldiers and civilians were removed from the prison every day.
Before going to prison, Wang Zhuoran reminded: "There are many cronies of Chairman Chiang here. Don't act recklessly, otherwise Commander Han will not be able to make the decision."
Zhou Hexuan nodded to express his understanding. Chang Kaishen had extended his tentacles to the whole country by setting up party headquarters. Although Peiping was Zhang Xueliang's territory, Zhang Xueliang adopted a proactive and cooperative attitude, and the power of the Kuomintang developed very rapidly.
Wang Zhuoran took out an order letter signed by Zhang Xueliang, ran to the guards to register, and then brought Zhou Hexuan and others in.
Everyone was not allowed to enter the prison, but was placed in a reception room.
Soon a jailer brought a prisoner and saluted Wang Zhuoran: "Secretary Wang, the prisoner has been brought!"
"Thank you, brother." Wang Zhuoran nodded and smiled.
After the jailer left, Wang Zhuoran pointed at the prisoner and said, "This is Liu Zhiwen. If you want to ask anything, just ask him directly."
Liu Zhiwen was betrayed by a traitor and arrested half a year ago. He didn't seem to have any external injuries on his body, but his spirit was a little haggard. He said with a sad smile: "I've been waiting for you, gentlemen."
Hu Shi couldn't wait to speak: "Your situation in prison is like..."
"Wait a minute," Yang Xingfo glanced at the door and reminded, "Speak in English."
Liu Zhiwen immediately replied in fluent English: "Everything is fine, I just have to eat a big meal from time to time."
Hu Shi didn't hear the implication at all and said with a smile: "The prison food now is very good, and you can even have a big meal."
Liu Zhiwen said angrily: "There is a lot of care in cooking a big meal. For example, using needle points to prick nails, such as using pig hair to brush urine (harmony). The dish I eat the most is called 'Duck Swimming', which is made with fine needles."
The rope is tied behind the arms, and the whole person is suspended in the air. This is a side dish, and the main dish is 'fried pork with bamboo shoots'. After being hung up, thin bamboo strips are used to decorate the back. Experienced chefs can create the richest patterns...
…”
"do not talk!"
Yang Xingfo was filled with indignation when he heard this, and said angrily: "This matter must be informed to the public. China is a civilized society now, how can there be such harsh punishments!"
Zhou Hexuan didn't speak from the beginning to the end. As a time traveler, he was very clear about the methods of the Kuomintang jailers. New China has been propagandized for decades.
As for the Liu Zhiwen in front of me, he is obviously the pseudonym of the underground party. His real name is Liu Zunqi, and he later became a very famous external propaganda officer of our party. In addition to Liu Zunqi, there are many underground party members in the Peking Army Prison at the moment, including even those who were born after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
A department-level boss.
Zhou Hexuan looked at Wang Zhuoran curiously and saw Zhang Xueliang's secretary, smiling and listening to Liu Zhiwen's complaints, not afraid that the scandal in the prison would be exposed.
I'm afraid that Zhang Xueliang also had plans to release him, and specially sent Wang Zhuoran to smooth things over.
What Zhou Hexuan didn't know was that the underground party member with the pseudonym "Liu Zhiwen" in history was released by Wang Zhuoran. Moreover, Wang Zhuoran also got to know many underground party members through "Liu Zhiwen". Not only did he quietly take care of and help him, but he even "
"Accidentally" leaked information to the underground party.
