The Japanese army occupied Jiangdong Province and took two months to clear the mines in the Huaijiang River.
The ships of the former Jiangdong Steamship Company were confiscated and hung with sun flags for the transportation of military supplies.
There were often boats on the river.
The gunboats of the Rising Sun Flag roared and patrolled back and forth.
How dare ordinary people's fishing boats launch into the water.
This passenger ship was arranged by Zeng Jiao.
It has an operating license issued by the Japanese and can travel between Beitai and the provincial capital.
Refugees who had fled to Beitai began to return to the provincial capital, so business was not bad and all cabins were full.
As guests, Xia Xiaoqing, Lin Wenjing and the others were arranged in the first-class cabin, which had spacious space and a view of the river.
Shuangxi escorted the female relatives to the provincial capital.
He took off his military uniform and put on shorts and jacket, dressed like a little follower, served tea and water along the way, and was attentive to them.
All the way down the river, we arrived at the provincial capital pier in the evening.
Passengers carrying large and small luggage walked on the rickety gangplank to disembark.
Looking up, we saw a dazzling sun flag fluttering in the wind on the flagpole of the Port Authority Building.
At the exit of the pier , stood two Japanese soldiers.
Anyone entering or leaving must bow to them, otherwise they would be beaten.
The first-class guests disembarked first.
The wet nurse was holding baby cabbage, and the maid was holding Lin Wenjing.
Xia Xiaoqing was injured and did not carry any luggage.
She walked in front empty-handed.
She was tall and stood out among the crowd, which quickly attracted a few people.
Personal attention.
There were three men standing at the corner of the port.
They were wearing long black gowns, top hats, and sunglasses.
They had belts on their gowns and rifles hanging from them.
With such nondescript attire, one could tell at a glance that they were members of the provincial capital's detective team.
These three are Xia Xiaoqing's old acquaintances.
After one of the four tigers in the provincial capital was killed by Zhao Ziming, only three tigers were left.
They spent three years in prison.
Not only did they not change their ways, but their arrogance became even more arrogant.
The Japanese came After they were arrested, no one wanted to be lackeys.
The three brothers volunteered to serve the imperial army.
They worked hard to win their trust and became a member of the detective team, responsible for the security of the dock.
The second child nudged the third child with his elbow and licked his lips in the direction of the passenger.
The third child pushed up his sunglasses and muttered: "This girl looks familiar.
I'm afraid she's Chen Zikun's wife."
The fourth child also discovered the situation and said, "Return to the truth.
Let's go and investigate."
Three people walked over and blocked the way: "Stop, who are you, where are you from, and where are you going?"
Xia Xiaoqing took a closer look and said disdainfully: "Get lost."
"Oh, you are very courageous.
Let me show you how powerful I am."
The third child reached for his gun and held his arm down.
It was a double happiness.
"Master, you have something to do?"

Shuangxi greeted with a smile, but the musket in his hand was pressed against the waist of the third child.
The second and fourth sons were shocked.
They had been on duty at the pier for so long.
This was the first time they saw someone who dared to behave under the noses of the Japanese.
They immediately started shouting, and the sound like a broken gong echoed inside and outside the pier: "Come quickly.
People, arrest the anti-Japanese elements.”
Just as a group of soldiers carrying stretchers came from behind, the leader gave the second one a big mouth: "What are you shouting for?"
The second brother was stunned, covering his face as he looked at this group of people.
They were wearing military uniforms, carrying big guns, with cold eyebrows and strong aura.
It was hard to tell which part they belonged to.
The Japanese soldiers on duty at the pier arrived.
The people who got off the boat showed their IDs and official documents.
It turned out that they were the team responsible for sending the wounded to the provincial capital for medical treatment.
Those lying on the stretchers were all Huang Xie who were seriously injured during the mopping up operations in Nantai. military.
The Japanese soldiers stood in awe and stood at attention.
Sanhu was dumbfounded.
The Japanese didn't help support them, and they didn't dare to make any mistakes.
They had to watch this group of people leave.
After leaving the pier, two cars were already waiting at the door.
One took the seriously injured Chen Qilin directly to the hospital, while Xia Xiaoqing and Lin Wenjing got into another car with a Japanese flag on the front.
The streets of the provincial capital under Japanese rule seemed not much different from before except for being slightly deserted.
Xia Xiaoqing specially asked the driver to go to Fenglin Road to see where he once lived.
Fenglin Road has become a villa for senior Japanese officers.
Sandbags are piled at the street entrance and machine guns are mounted.
It is inaccessible without a special pass.
It is really sad that the former home has become a den of bandits.
The one who received them was Liu Youjin, chairman of the maintenance committee of Jiangdong Province.
He endured the humiliation and stayed in the provincial capital just to prevent disorder and harm to the people.
Now that the situation has been decided, he no longer wants to be labeled a traitor and wants to resign.
But the Japanese were unwilling to let him go and had to make him the governor of Jiangdong.
In fact, there are many people who covet the position of pseudo-governor, including the former governor Sun Kaiqin, senior provincial councilor Zhang Pengcheng, and the veteran Beiyang politician Liu Yuzheng in the 1920s also came out and wanted to be the governor again.
The Japanese have principles to choose puppets.
Officials from the Kuomintang system are given priority.
It would be better if they are prestige and capable, followed by the warlord politicians from the Beiyang period.
Liu Youjin has been the secretary-general of the provincial government for a long time, with qualifications and prestige.
All are enough, and he must be the governor.
Of course, Sun Kaiqin, Zhang Pengcheng and others were willing to serve, but they could not ignore their enthusiasm.
Therefore, Sun Kaiqin came out and took up the post of commander-in-chief of security in Jiangdong Province.
A group of old subordinates also came to join him.
Only his old brother Duan Haixiang did not want to be a traitor. , unable to refuse.
Zhang Pengcheng was appointed as the provincial police chief, with great power and rivaling the provincial government.
This was also a clever move by the Japanese to make the Chinese fight against each other in order to balance the constraints.
This is the current situation in the provincial capital.
Liu Youjin was unwilling to be the governor, but the Japanese forced him to become the governor, and it was a stalemate for two times.
Xia Xiaoqing, Lin Wenjing and others are temporarily living in Liu Youjin's house, and will rest for a few days before going to Shanghai.

There are too many acquaintances in the provincial capital, and it will be troublesome if they are recognized.
In comparison, the Shanghai Concession is the safest.
Liu Youjin used his identity to purchase a batch of disinfectants, bandages and other items for treating trauma, and asked Shuangxi to transport them back to Jiangbei for use.
As for the ordnance and ammunition, he was powerless.
The Japanese had strict control and could not obtain them temporarily.
Shuangxi transferred the task of protecting the two ladies to Qingfeng, returned to Beitai with the medicine, and first went to Wang Sanliu to inquire about information.
Wang Sanliu told him the Japanese army's mopping up route and the number of troops dispatched.
Although Shuangxi was only an adjutant, he followed Chen Zikun closely and knew a little bit about strategies and tactics.
The Japanese army dispatched a brigade-level unit to sweep Jiangbei.
Then It's like killing a chicken with a bull's knife.
Nantai is in danger.
"I have to rush back immediately and ask Commander Wang to lend me a fast horse."
Shuangxi said impatiently.
Nantai County is full of smog.
The Jiangbei Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Allied Forces are full of bandits, salt lords, and ruffians.
There are not only locals from Jiangbei, but also broken soldiers from Hubei, and habitual bandits who have escaped from Henan.
They are all fierce and lawless.
Dragon, I won’t give anyone any face.
The bandits are doing evil in the county, robbing everywhere and raping women.
They are worse than the Japanese.
However, they are under the name of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Alliance.
They are the anti-Japanese troops under Commander-in-Chief Chen Zikun.
Anyone who dares to disobey will be punished as a traitor.
A traitor's hat, shot in the street.
Chen Zikun sent Gai Longquan to set up a law enforcement team to patrol the streets, specifically to catch those who caused harm to the people.
They caught more than a dozen bad apples in one night, most of them from other counties, and they were all locked up in the old county government prison to be severely punished according to law at dawn.
Before dawn, the commanders from all walks of life came to the door.
None of them urinate in the pot of Longquan.
The bandit leaders in Daqingshan are all in the old history.
Now the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and each generation is more powerful than the other.
A strong generation.
The lobby of the county government office was filled with heroes from all walks of life, all dressed in different styles.
Some wore military uniforms and riding boots, some wore long robes and mandarin jackets with cannons, some wore old sheepskin coats, and some wore silk coats.
In short, there were all kinds of clothes.
They were all of different colors, and they were all followed by guards carrying broadswords and shell guns.
"The Commander-in-Chief has arrived."
With a loud shout, Chen Zikun came out of the back hall.
He was wearing a dark green woolen uniform and three gold stars representing the rank of general on his collar.
He was tall, well-armed, and looked around, not angry.
The heroes were overwhelmed by his power.
They all stood up obediently, nodded and bowed, and said in different pitches, "Commander, please pay homage to the commander, and give my regards to the commander."
Chen Zikun sat down and said, "Everyone, please sit down."
There was a sound of butts sitting on chairs.
"The law enforcement team was dispatched last night and arrested fourteen bastards who were causing harm to the people.
What do you think we should do with them?"

Chen Zikun asked.
"Killing" Zhao Ziming, a former railway worker, stood up and made a fierce melon-cutting gesture, "These beasts are more hateful than the Japanese devils, we can't do it without killing them."
"Fuck you, who's crotch is open and you are exposed?"
A man with a plaster on his forehead jumped up, pointed at Zhao Ziming and cursed, "My brother, who dares to touch me and risk his life?"
This man is called Hu Jinbiao.
He has been a bandit, eaten military rations, and suffered floods in Henan.
He led a group of brothers to the north of the Yangtze River to find a way out, robbing homes and houses, and occasionally beating the Japanese.
In short, he went wherever there was an advantage.
He was the most powerful among the coalition forces.
There are five hundred people with guns.
"Fuck, you're so brave, how dare you scold me?"
Zhao Ziming lifted his coat and pulled out two tortoise boxes, which immediately caused a burst of laughter.
Hu Jinbiao also laughed loudly, pulled out a twenty-ring gun from his waist, and slapped it on the small table in front of him: "See clearly, this is the gun that men use.
If you have the guts, use it.
Let’s see who dies first.”
Zhao Ziming was furious and aimed his gun at Hu Jinbiao's head.
Suddenly both sides raised their guns and their swords were at war with each other.
Chen Zikun couldn't stand it any longer.
He slammed the table with a loud voice like thunder: "Put down your guns and rebel."
The bandits were dissatisfied with each other, but they still didn't dare to show their anger in front of Chen Zikun, a real general.
Hu Jinbiao laughed and put down the gun first: "I will give face to the commander-in-chief and won't argue with you."
Zhao Ziming also put down his gun angrily and turned his head to the side.
Chen Zikun said: "The people here are all commanders of the anti-Japanese and national salvation coalition.
They are soldiers and not bandits.
It is the bounden duty of soldiers to obey orders.
There is no question of giving face to whom."
Hu Jinbiao also turned his face away with a rather disdainful expression.
"Commander Hu, nine of these fourteen people are your brothers, what do you think should be done?"
Chen Zikun asked.
"How else to deal with it?
Brothers fight against Japan through life and death, and playing with a few little girls is nothing.
In my opinion, just three drinks as a penalty."
Hu Jinbiao said disapprovingly.
Chen Zikun thought for a while and said: "Okay, you give me face, and I will give you face, take your people back."
Chen Shou was quite surprised.
He thought that Chen Zikun would repeat the drama of shooting the rebels in the county government compound.
Unexpectedly, he just kept silent and let it go.
Could it be that Chen Zikun was no longer the same Chen Zikun as before.
"Thank you."
Hu Jinbiao stood up, cupped his hands, and walked away with the guilty men.
All the commanders also dispersed, only Chen Shougai, Longquan, Zhao Ziming and others remained.
"Uncle Kun, the person named Hu is not a thing, how can you give him a good look?"
Zhao Ziming gritted his teeth.
Chen Zikun said: "He has more than 500 men.
If we fight, we will suffer a loss.

Let's stabilize him first.
Let's have a drink in the evening.
Everyone listens to my order and arrests and executes Hu Jinbiao as a warning to others."
Everyone then cheered up.
Chen Zikun was still the brave, resourceful and ruthless commander he was back then
