Chapter 46: The Jiangdong Uprising


Although he was dressed like a wounded soldier, Chen Zikun recognized at a glance that the person sitting in the back seat was Zhao Dahai, the union leader who had been "shot."

Brother Dahai looked at Chen Zikun with a pair of bright eyes, with a confident smile on his lips.

Chen Zikun waved his hand, and Shuangxi and Qingfeng stepped forward to help Zhao Dahai down.

Chen Qilin said: "I'll leave the person to you, and you can handle the rest by yourself."

After saying that, he stamped out the cigarette butt, got in the car and left.

Without further ado, Chen Zikun immediately arranged a boat to send Zhao Dahai and his comrades away from Shanghai.

Military police searched all the docks and stations in Shanghai, and the news was very tight.

The boat was a passenger ship of Jiangdong Steamship Company, parked at the relatively remote Wusong Wharf.

The Anti-Smoking Law Enforcement Corps sent a platoon of soldiers to escort them aboard.

Chen Zikun personally went to the pier to see him off.

Zhao Dahai was unable to move due to torture.

He was lying on a stretcher and holding Chen Zikun's hand: "Brother, see you soon."

"Brother Dahai, take care."

Chen Zikun held his hand tightly and shook it.

He took out the 1911 pistol from his waist and held it upside down and handed it to the young man Ye Kai who was holding the stretcher: "Give it back to you."

Ye Kai took the pistol and bowed gratefully: "The grace of saving my life will never be forgotten."

Chen Zikun patted the young man on the shoulder and said nothing.

A trade union cadre with a good leadership stretched out his hand to Chen Zikun and said, "On behalf of the organization, I would like to thank you."

Chen Zikun ignored him, and the cadre's hand froze in mid-air.

Fortunately, the whistle sounded at the right time, which alleviated the awkward atmosphere.

"Okay, let's go."

Zhao Dahai said.

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horns, and several trucks came speeding towards them.

A group of military police jumped out of the vehicles and rushed towards them with their guns raised, cursing.

Everyone was shocked, and there was a sound of bolts being pulled.

The military police were not coming for them.

The soldiers pulled out a few people from the queue waiting for the ship and said they had captured trade union cadres.

The leading officer interrogated them on the spot and then ordered them to be shot.

The cadres were escorted to the open space of the dock.

After being ordered to kneel down, an officer went up with a box gun, turned sideways and shot one shot in the back of the head.

Probably because of the frequent executions, there was no splash on the body.

Then he shot the next one and didn't even take away the body after the execution. , walked away.

The dock was stained with blood, and people who had been alive just now were now separated from each other.

The heart-wrenching cries of the family members of the murdered people made everyone feel heartbroken.

The farewell ended in a hurry, the ship's whistle blew, and it slowly left the dock.

The setting sun shone on the beach in Shanghai, turning it blood red.

Chen Zikun did not go to Tang Yan's place again.

He once wanted to move Tang Yan into a house and asked him about this issue, but Tang Yan made it clear that she was a career woman and would never waste her time by marrying someone else and becoming a concubine.

"Don't worry, I don't want any status, I just want to be with you."

Tang Yan always said this when she was feeling tender and affectionate.

But now it seems that Tang Yan's purpose is not so simple.

Chen Zikun picked up a declaration, which contained major news with a red bulletin.

The National Government was established in Nanjing, with Hu Hanmin as chairman, and one hundred and ninety people, including Soviet adviser Borodin, were wanted.

Before the Northern Expedition succeeded, the Nationalist Government was divided into Nanjing and Wuhan.

If Sun Yat-sen had a spirit in heaven, I don't know how angry he would be.

Now the Wuhan government is planning to raise troops to march eastward, and Jiangdong Province is caught in the middle.

Once the war begins, , was the first to bear the brunt, which made Chen Zikun have to worry.

"Prepare the plane and return to Jiangdong in two days."

Chen Zikun immediately made arrangements for the return trip.

In a certain bungalow in the Jiangdong provincial capital, the windows were closed and several men were arguing fiercely.

"I do not agree to use violent methods.

Chen Zikun is a warlord who can be won over.

He sympathizes with the revolution."

Zheng Zeru said seriously.

"Comrade Zheng Zeru, I have to say that you have made a rightist mistake.

You are no longer the secretary of the special committee.

You can reserve your opinions, but don't point fingers at our plans.

Chen Zikun's anti-smoking law enforcement team is massacring our revolution in Shanghai.

Comrade, he has betrayed the revolution."

Mai Ping's cold voice came from behind the swirling smoke, which seemed very unreal.

"I agree with Secretary Mai's opinion.

We should continue to resist the chaos.

The current separation of Ninghan and Ninghan is a great opportunity for our party to win over the progressive forces in Jiangdong Province, seize power in one fell swoop, implement land reform, and establish a peasant association, just like in Hunan.

Knock down all the landlords and gentry, arrest all the capitalists, make workers and peasants the masters of the country, and build Jiangdong Province into our solid revolutionary base."

Another young man waved his fist vigorously.

Looking at his clothes, he was clearly a student of the Army School. .

Others also expressed their opinions, and basically unanimously supported the resolution of the new Special Committee Secretary Mai Ping.

"Okay, the minority obeys the majority.

I obey the organization's decision, but I reserve my opinion."

Zheng Zeru finally gave in.

Mai Ping began to mobilize troops and generals: "Old Zheng, your task is to determine the time for Chen Zikun to return to Jiangdong.

This man likes to fly.

Let's ambush a team of people at the suburban airport and kill him on the spot to avoid future troubles."

"Xiao Wang, you are responsible for mobilizing the revolutionary comrades in the army, cooperating inside and outside, and occupying the arsenal.

Now the main force of Jiangdong Army is thousands of miles away.

We just caught them off guard."

"Xiao Li, you are responsible for organizing workers' pickets, and you must establish the party's armed forces as soon as possible."

Finally, Mai Ping patted his chest and said: "The main force of the uprising is still the police from the Jiangdong Provincial Police Department.

I will be responsible for this."

Zheng Zeru said: "Mai, be wary of the speculators in the team.

The police can use them but cannot rely on them.

Be careful of the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind."

Mai Ping smiled contemptuously: "Of course I know this.

After the uprising is successful, the political power will be in our hands.

The meeting is over now.

Let's go separately.

Be careful of Chen Zikun's spies."

Zheng Ze felt uneasy, but he couldn't say anything else.

Everyone left the small bungalow one after another.

The comrade responsible for the lookout downstairs looked around cautiously.

It was very quiet and no so-called spies appeared.

Mai Ping got into a car and rushed to the official residence of the Police Director Mai Zilong.

The guard at the door nodded and bowed in greeting: "My nephew is here."

Mai Ping ignored him at all and went straight to his uncle's study like a gust of wind.

In the study, a middle-aged man in long robes and mandarin jacket was sitting upright, reading a letter from Zeng Wenzhenggong.

When he saw his nephew barging in carelessly, he frowned slightly: "Ping'er, why are you panicking?"

Mai Ping said: "Uncle, we have decided to help you defeat Chen Zikun and support you in becoming the provincial chairman of Jiangdong Province."

Jiangdong Provincial Police Chief Mai Zilong was a student who studied in Japan in the late Qing Dynasty.

He graduated from a Japanese police school.

After returning to China, he worked as a police officer in the Jiangdong Governor's Yamen.

He climbed up from the bottom step by step.

He has wide connections and powerful power.

Even Sun Kaiqin did not dare to do so when he was the military governor.

After Chen Zikun took over the military and political power, he did not dare to easily replace him.

He just sent Zhang Pengcheng to decentralize power.

Nowadays, the general situation in the world is surging, and Mai Zilong's long-dormant ambitions have also been stirred up.

The Wuhan National Government contacted him through secret channels and promoted him to join the Kuomintang.

It also promised him a position as chairman of Jiangdong Province, although this provincial chairman was a bit of a fool. feeling but It was an opportunity that could not be missed and would not come again.

Taking advantage of the fact that the troops were on the outside and Chen Zikun was not in the provincial capital, he launched an attack in one fell swoop, occupied the office and telegraph room, and sent a message to the whole country to support the Wuhan government.

Tang Shengzhi's troops came in overwhelming numbers.

A great event was accomplished.

Chen Zikun had a huge victory.

I can't even turn this over.

His nephew is a Communist.

Mai Zilong, who has been a police officer all his life, naturally knows this, but he is about to use the power of the Communist Party.

This group of people is more fierce than his own policemen when it comes to risking their lives.

When the time comes, let them Wouldn't it be nice to take the lead, wait until both sides suffer, and then come out to clean up the mess yourself?

These thoughts were all reflected in a flash of lightning.

Mai Zilong came out from behind the desk, looked at his nephew solemnly, and patted his shoulder: "Ping'er, you are really the great horse of my Mai family."

Mai Ping said: "Uncle, let's plan an attack route.

I suggest that the police force attack the old governor's office and seize Chen Zikun's family members.

The big thing will be half done.

Our pickets composed of workers and students are responsible for gnawing the hard bones.

The garrison of the provincial capital Leave it to us.”

Mai Zilong said: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, comrades.

I will sponsor you 300 rifles and 10,000 rounds of ammunition.

I wish you immediate success."

Mai Ping beamed with joy: "Uncle, this batch of weapons just meets our urgent need."

In the evening, in an alley outside the old governor's office, the street lights outside could not illuminate the place.

In the darkness, only the dark red cigarette butts flickered on and off.

"Comrade Liu Ting, your application for party membership has been approved by the organization in principle, but" "Please organize a test for me."

Liu Ting puffed up her chest excitedly and stood on tiptoes, showing off her girlish attitude.

"The organization requires the exact time of Chen Zikun's arrival in Jiangdong, transportation, the number of accompanying escorts, and weapon configuration."

Zheng Zeru said in a low voice.

"You guys have to attack him."

Liu Ting's voice trembled slightly.

Zheng Zeru turned his back, took a few puffs of cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it with his feet, blowing out two puffs of smoke from his nostrils: "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask.

Have you forgotten the party's discipline?"

” "Okay, I'll let you know as soon as there's news."

Liu Ting's voice deepened.

"Nothing else, I'm leaving first."

Zheng Zeru put on her hat, lowered the brim and walked away.

Watching his tall figure disappear into the night, Liu Ting bit her lip tightly, feeling confused.

"Who can tell me what I should do?"

Liu Ting murmured all the way back home with heavy steps.

Dinner has already started at home.

There are four dishes, a bowl of soup, and a bottle of wine from her father on the table.

Although Liu Ting is a daughter, she has a high status in the family.

If she doesn't come home, her younger brothers and sisters will have to I looked at the food eagerly and couldn't put my chopsticks down.

"Ting'er, why are you getting off work so late today?"

Liu Cunren asked casually.

Now he is also an office worker.

He wears a long gown all day long, carries a briefcase, and wears a small blue sky and white sun emblem on his chest.

He walks on the street When meeting acquaintances or friends on the street, they would call him Section Chief Liu politely.

There are two people in the Liu family who live in the government, and their monthly salary plus various subsidies is nearly 100 yuan, which is enough to support the whole family.

The younger brothers and sisters have put on new clothes and new shoes, and they have been fighting with wild children in the alley.

Thanks to Supervisor Chen, my younger brothers also went to a public elementary school.

They received free textbooks and a free lunch.

Looking at the rosy cheeks of her younger siblings, Liu Ting suddenly understood something and walked out in a hurry.

Mother Liu chased after her and asked, "Ting'er, what are you doing?"

"I forgot to take something."

Liu Ting's footsteps disappeared at the end of the alley.

Liu Cunren took a flashlight from the cupboard: "Xiaoyong, light the way for your sister."

"Get the order" Xiaoyong jumped up, took the flashlight and went out quickly.

Liu Ting went to the telegraph room.

The telegraph room in the provincial capital was manned 24 hours a day.

When she saw the commander-in-chief’s confidential secretary arriving, she hurriedly greeted her.

Liu Ting drafted a telegram for them to send to Shanghai.

The telegram was in a password and was very short. , only a few characters.

The telegram was sent out quickly.

Liu Ting felt relieved and her steps became much lighter.

She walked side by side with her younger brother Xiaoyong on the streets of the provincial capital.

"Sister, let me sing a song for you."

Xiaoyong said.

Liu Ting stroked her brother's head and said affectionately: "Is this another scene in Changbanpo where Zhao Zilong kills Cao's soldiers and all of them run away?"

"It's not that, it's the new one I learned in school."

Xiaoyong cleared his throat and started singing: "Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the green grass reaches the sky, the evening wind blows the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain."

The melodious singing faded away, the soft moonlight was projected on the ground through the mottled tree shadows, and the tranquility of the early summer night revealed warmth
