I wish I would die if I didn't fight against Japan, and I will leave it as a shame today.
Zhou Hexuan carefully looked at Ji Hongchang in front of him. The general was wearing casual clothes and a pair of black round-rimmed glasses. Maybe it was due to the hard work of the war in the past few months. He didn't look as fat as in the photo and had slender eyes.
Bright and bright.
"Mr. Zhou, I've admired you for a long time!" Ji Hongchang said, cupping his fists.
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "Hello, General Ji!"
Ji Hongchang took out the third issue of "Fei Gong" magazine, put it on the table and said: "Mr. Zhou has done a great job with this magazine. I often took the time to read it when I was fighting on the front line."
"I am a scholar. I can't kill the enemy and serve the country like General Ji. I can only write articles and shout a few times. I'm so ashamed!" Zhou Hexuan said with shame.
Ji Hongchang suddenly asked: "Is Mr. Zhou a Communist Party member?"
Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "I haven't joined any political party yet."
"That's a pity. Why don't you join the party with me?" Ji Hongchang encouraged.
"Hasn't General Ji already joined the Communist Party?" Zhou Hexuan said in surprise.
Ji Hongchang smiled and waved his hand: "I was extremely angry at that time, so I declared myself a member of the Communist Party out of anger. As a result, the Central Army launched an even crazier attack."
"That's it." Zhou Hexuan finally understood.
Later generations have different opinions on Ji Hongchang's identity. Some data show that Ji Hongchang joined the Communist Party in 1932. However, according to party history data, Ji Hongchang was introduced to the party by Xuan Xiafu in March 1934.
, the two also secretly formed an anti-Japanese armed force in Tianjin.
As Ji Hongchang said, he was angry and declared that he was a Communist because He Yingqin led 16 divisions to stab him in the back while he was fighting on the front line. This approach was obviously motivated and led to the attack of the Central Army
More violent.
Ji Hongchang was probably mad at that time, so he simply stopped attacking the Japanese and returned to attack Peiping, which was heavily guarded by He Yingqin.
Just some time ago, Ji Hongchang was defeated and captured, and was escorted back to Peking by He Yingqin to be imprisoned. During the escort, Ji Hongchang used the principles of resisting Japan and saving the country to successfully convince the soldiers guarding him. The soldier felt deeply for the country.
Dayi closed his eyes at night and pretended to sleep, and Ji Hongchang escaped quietly.
In other words, Ji Hongchang is now a fugitive and he came to Tianjin secretly.
After Zhou Hexuan learned about the situation, he immediately said: "General Ji, it is very dangerous for you to stay in the hotel. Why not stay here with me?"
"No need," Ji Hongchang waved his hand, "I don't want to hurt you."
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "Haha, General Ji, you don't have to worry. I can't do other things, but I can still protect a few people. Even if Chiang Kai-shek knows about it, he won't dare to send people to arrest me."
Ji Hongchang frowned and thought for a while, then clasped his fists and said, "Sir, you are so righteous, Hongchang is sorry for bothering you!"
"You're welcome, it's all for the country." Zhou Hexuan said.
Ji Hongchang asked: "Mr. Zhou, is your "Fei Gong" magazine still short of manpower? I can recommend a talent for you."
Zhou Hexuan said: "Who is it?"
Ji Hongchang smiled and said: "Wang Jianqiu, a gentleman who studied in Japan. He is very familiar with the situation in Japan and can help you edit relevant articles."
Who is Wang Jianqiu?
Zhou Hexuan thought about it for a long time and had no impression that if this person could get Ji Hongchang's praise, he was probably an underground party using a pseudonym.
Zhou Hexuan pretended not to know about this and agreed: "Yes, the editorial department is short of people."
"Thank you, thank you so much," Ji Hongchang said happily, "Mr. Zhou, to be honest, I came to Tianjin this time to secretly organize an anti-Japanese armed force. Are you interested in joining?"
Zhou Hexuan shook his head and said: "I will not join any organization, but I can provide 5,000 bottles of sulfa for free."
"Is this the British antibacterial miracle drug?" Ji Hongchang was overjoyed.
Zhou Hexuan sighed and said: "To be honest, General Ji, I am not optimistic about your actions."
Ji Hongchang asked: "What special insights does Mr. Zhou have?"
Zhou Hexuan asked back: "If you form an anti-Japanese armed force, where will you plan to carry out military operations?"
"Chahar," Ji Hongchang said, "the situation in Chahar is relatively chaotic. In many places, the Japanese army and the Central Army cannot estimate it, which is convenient for the development of anti-Japanese armed forces."
Zhou Hexuan shook his head and said: "In the place where the Fourth Battle of Chahar was fought, once the anti-Japanese armed forces are formed there, they will be easily attacked by the Central Army and the Japanese Army. After all, General Ji has publicly declared that he is a communist, and Nanjing will definitely spare no effort to eliminate you."
force."
Ji Hongchang asked: "Where does Mr. Zhou think is suitable?"
"Nowhere is suitable. The time is not yet ripe." Zhou Hexuan said.
Ji Hongchang said angrily: "When will the time come? The Japanese invaders have occupied Rehe, and Chiang Kai-shek has designated a large military pass area for the Japanese invaders. Once the Japanese invaders have digested the Northeast, they can attack Pingjin at any time.
The whole of North China is exposed to the iron hoof of the Japanese invaders. This is the critical moment of the war of resistance, and we cannot retreat even one step!"
"Since General Ji insists on this, I will no longer persuade you." Zhou Hexuan said helplessly.
People like Ji Hongchang, just like Yang Xingfo, cannot be persuaded. Even if they know that their lives are in danger, they will not be afraid.
Twelve years ago, Ji Hongchang returned to his hometown to visit relatives and found that the poor children in his hometown had difficulty in going to school. He immediately took out all his savings, used a dilapidated temple as a school building, and founded the "Lübei Junior Primary School", and set a rule:
Children from poor families all go to school for free.
Two years ago, Ji Hongchang also wrote a poem, the content of which is as follows: If you are thirsty, drink the blood of beautiful women, and if you are hungry, eat stones. Return to announce your fate on the day of return, and restore my Chinese state.
Ji Hongchang hated Chang Kaishen to the core, and he was a man who selflessly served his country. Let him work as an apartment housekeeper for a few years, waiting for the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance before leaving the country. Ji Hongchang would never do such a thing.
Zhou Hexuan smiled helplessly: "Let's do this. I will personally donate another 50,000 yuan to use as General Ji's future military expenditure for the Anti-Japanese War."
"Hahaha," Ji Hongchang happily held Zhou Hexuan's hand, "Mr. Zhou, you are a true patriot!"
Ji Hongchang just stayed at Zhou Hexuan's house, leaving early in the morning and returning home late every day to communicate with everyone, and planned to form the "Chinese People's Anti-Fascist Grand Alliance" with the underground party Xuan Xiafu.
As for Wang Jianqiu, who was recommended by Ji Hongchang to be the editor of "Fei Gong" magazine, his real name is Nan Hanchen. He used to serve under General Yang Hucheng and served as Secretary-General of the Shaanxi Provincial Government. This person mainly did two things in Shaanxi, rescue and release
He defeated a large number of Communist Party members, including Liu Zhidan, and at the same time kept Shaanxi's internal affairs in order.
After the Central Plains War, Shaanxi's economy was in decline and the people were in dire straits. Nan Hanchen assisted Yang Hucheng in vigorously developing the people's livelihood economy. In two years, the fiscal revenue increased sharply, which was enough to support Yang Hucheng's 50,000 Northwest Army.
It's a pity that such a man of literary and military ability (who is very good at training military officers) has now become a wanted criminal because of his status as a Communist Party member.
After Nan Hanchen joined the editorial department, he kept the magazine in order and at the same time used this platform to contact the top leaders of the Northwest Army living in Tianjin. It seemed that he was cooperating with Ji Hongchang to do big things.
Zhou Hexuan turned a blind eye to this. Even if Nan Hanchen's identity was exposed, he could completely pretend not to know.
