"Dad, the government has already said that as long as we can kill the people of the Liberation Army, we will be rewarded handsomely. Do we have to listen to the government? "Diao Hansan said eagerly to the middle-aged man in front of him.
The middle-aged man's name was Diao Degui. At this time, he subconsciously gritted his teeth, like a wolf considering whether to attack or not, pacing back and forth in the room. Seeing that his father had been thinking for a long time, Diao Hansan, who was already burning with anxiety, asked.
After hearing his son's question, Diao Degui stopped and snorted. He scolded his son impatiently, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Diao Hansan quickly replied, "Dad, those people of the Liberation Army will still come to sell goods today. They also said last time that they don't have many things in their hands and are not going to sell them to us. If we hadn't sent someone to ask them, they wouldn't have agreed to come out. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity, there will be no next time. "
Diao Degui frowned and said unhappily, "Did I say we won't do it?"
Diao Hansan quickly said, "Then what are you waiting for?"
Diao Degui shook his head and said, "This is not right. The Liberation Army is only 20 miles away from the county. Don't you think the government doesn't know that they are going back and forth? Why did the government act as if they didn't see it and let us go to battle? "
Diao Hansan said, "Dad, this time the government invited us to fight together. They just asked us to help them inquire about the news. "If we don't agree, the government will beat the people of the Liberation Army who come here to sell goods. The Liberation Army will eventually blame it on us. "Do you want to tip off the Liberation Army?"
These words did move Diao Degui. He walked back and forth a few more times and finally made up his mind. "Well, we'll contact the Liberation Army and ask them to send people to us. "We'll send someone to pick them up. If they don't come, they're lucky. If they come, they'll be sending themselves to death. They can't blame us for taking action! "
In Yongxing City, Lü Shangyang received the news that the Xiang Army was going to attack the Liberation Army. The officers of the Xiang barracks shouted at the crowd of junior officers, "Inspector Mao daren has already sent the new guns over. No matter what, we have to fight it out. At the moment, we were fighting a small squad of the Liberation Army, but it wasn't a big battle. Don't worry, everyone. After the battle, we will return to Yongxing City. Our Yongxing City is next to the river. As long as we stick to the mountain road, the Liberation Army won't be able to fight their way up. If they could fight, they would have done so long ago. It can't be that there hasn't been any activity in the past six months. "
Lü Shangyang did not believe this at all. In terms of sturdiness, Chenzhou City was much stronger than Yongxing. In terms of danger, the checkpoints along the way from Chenzhou to Yongxing were also guarded by mountain roads, so the terrain was not as bad as Yongxing. The Liberation Army easily took over Chenzhou and fought all the way to Yongxing City. The Liberation Army had not made any movement in the past six months. It could only be said that, as Lü Shangyang's fellow countryman Zhou Jinguo said, the higher-ups of the Liberation Army had no intention of attacking Yongxing. Otherwise, such a shabby city could not be defended no matter what.
However, Lü Shangyang did not dare to refute. The Xiang Army was very "disciplined." Whoever dared to refute their superiors would be killed for offending their superiors if they were unhappy. The Liberation Army's amiable attitude towards people did not exist in the Xiang Army at all.
On April 28th, the Xiang Army was ready to move out. On the morning of April 29th, the Xiang Army secretly prepared for battle, waiting for the news to move out.
On the morning of April 29th, a platoon of Liberation Army troops advanced towards Xiangyindu Town. In addition to this platoon, there were two female soldiers. When the troops went to various villages and towns, the female soldiers were in charge of the sales work. At the same time, they also collected local news by chatting with the women who came to buy goods.
Originally, the troops' goods had basically been sold out. Political Commissar Zhou Jinguo thought that there was no need to sell goods at this time. However, the people of Xiangyindu Town came to the troops and begged, hoping to be able to sell things to the town again. At this time, the political commissar had already been ordered to go to the east. Therefore, after a discussion at the party committee meeting, everyone felt that there were still some things left in their hands. If they did not sell them, it would be useless to keep them. In particular, the representatives of the soldiers' committee were very enthusiastic in supporting selling out the goods.
If they were sold out, everyone would be able to get more. This idea was understood by everyone. In the end, when the party committee discussed, they felt that the leading figure in Xiangyindu Town was the Diao family. The Diao family had long wanted to sell the Liberation Army's goods. This time, they simply sold all the remaining goods to the Diao family, completely emptying the inventory. Everyone no longer cared about this matter. There was not much left, and it was finished in one cart. The troops decided to go and return quickly. They sent a platoon of troops to Xiangyindu Town.
The journey was quite fast. Everyone was not marching, so they talked to their comrades on the way.
"Sister Zheng, what do you think the industrial society that the commander-in-chief talked about is like? The political commissar only said that in that society, men and women can rely on themselves to live, and men and women can rely on themselves to support their families. He also said that for women to be equal, they must first have their own financial rights. That is to say, the money that a woman earns herself, whether it is her parents, brothers and sisters, the man after marriage, or the children she has in the future, cannot be touched. Is this true? "On the way to the army, the female soldiers talked about the topics that women were most concerned about. Among them, nothing could arouse the enthusiasm of women more than the new society.
In the Commander-in-Chief's Office and the Liberation Army, the political department, the party committee, and the political commissar all accepted Vézé's theory of the difference between rebellion and revolution and were able to use this theory to explain what was happening now. The members of the Restoration Party gradually began to understand and accept this theory through the party meetings. The troops also gradually began to understand the stage they were in in this era through various political propaganda. It was hard to say whether the troops completely understood, but at least no one in the troops objected to this theory.
In terms of reasoning, the political commissars had many years of experience in rebellion. They could bring out a large number of things that had happened, lay out the facts, and reason. Even if the soldiers had different views, they had never won in public discussions. After many discussions, the soldiers focused their attention on the "good days" after the establishment of the new system, and did not argue about the revolutionary theory.
Zheng Yufeng did not answer immediately. She actually did not want to go to Xiangyindu Town, because she would have to deal with the Diao family. Unlike the respect that ordinary people had when looking at female soldiers, Diao Degui and Diao Han of the Diao family looked at female soldiers with lustful and greedy eyes. It was really disgusting. However, as the accountant of the logistics department, she had to go because it involved accounting matters. When the other female soldiers heard that they were going to Xiangyindu Town, they all expressed that they would not go. In the end, Zheng Yufeng and Wu Xiaohua accompanied the troops and set off together.
When Wu Xiaohua spoke, Zheng Yufeng was thinking about how to quickly settle the accounts with the Diao family, and how she would not have to deal with the Diao family in the future.
Seeing that Zheng Yufeng did not say anything, Wu Xiaohua pulled Zheng Yufeng's sleeve and asked, "Sister Zheng, say something."
Zheng Yufeng smiled and said, "Now that you have paid the soldiers' salaries, doesn't it only belong to you, and you don't have to give it to others?"
"But my parents wrote to say that they are preparing to build a house, and they want me to send money back," Wu Xiaohua said a little gloomily.
"Didn't you just send it a few months ago? You sent all your money back home? "Zheng Yufeng asked in surprise.
Wu Xiaohua lowered her head and said with grievance, "Last time, it was my eldest brother who wanted to build a house. This time, it's my second brother who wants to build a house."
Zheng Yufeng frowned, and her clear voice was filled with anger. "Why does your brother want you to pay for building a house?"
Wu Xiaohua shook her head slightly. "But my parents insisted that I pay. They said that they know that there is nothing in the army that costs money, and I have saved all my money. This money can save my family's emergency. "
"Building a house is not emergency!" Zheng Yufeng said angrily. "Your brother has no food to eat, and he is waiting for money to eat. Why does a man want to build a house and ask his sister for money? Are your parents muddle-headed? "
Zheng Yufeng clearly expressed her opposition to Wu Xiaohua giving money to her family. Wu Xiaohua suddenly cried in a low voice. She cried and said, "Sister Zheng, I don't want to go back to the village. My parents said that they have found a husband for me, and they said that they will give me a lot of gifts. I know that family, and I don't like them. I just want to stay in the army and be with everyone. But my parents said that when I joined the army, I said that I would retire in three years. When I retire, they will let me marry them. I don't want to go! "
Wu Xiaohua was from Zhaoqing, Guangdong, and was also a rare female soldier in the army. The proportion of female soldiers in the army was very low, so female soldiers were basically the treasures of the army.
But the treasures of the army were not the same as the treasures of the family. After listening to Wu Xiaohua's explanation, Zheng Yufeng understood what Wu Xiaohua's parents were like. There were three sons in the family. They didn't let their sons join the army, but they let their daughter join. Her parents were after the military's family tax policy. When their daughter was in the army, the family often wrote to Wu Xiaohua, asking her to send all the money back home. Now, they wanted Wu Xiaohua to marry into the family they had arranged for her for a lot of gifts.
Zheng Yufeng said loudly, "Don't worry, as long as you tell your parents that you won't go home, the army will protect you. The Military Governor Wei said that even the heavens can't force you to do things you don't want to do. After you graduate from the army, you will be prioritized to work in the city. Don't you want to be a nurse? When the time comes, I will tell the army to arrange for you to go to a nursing school. Sister Gu Xingzhi will be in charge of the nursing school. I will tell her about your situation, and she will definitely protect you. "
"Really?" Wu Xiaohua raised her head in surprise.
Zheng Yufeng said loudly, "Of course it's true. Sister Gu and I both joined the military governor's team in Wuzhou. She's very reliable. "
"Comrade Wu Xiaohua, don't worry. The army won't let anyone bully our comrades. If your parents dare to cause trouble in the army, the political commissar and the regimental commander will definitely be able to control them. "A male soldier next to her interrupted.
With someone taking the lead, everyone said, "That's right, they're wrong to bully people in the army."
"In the future, when Comrade Wu Xiaohua becomes a nurse, there will be someone to take care of us." Someone else encouraged her.
Hearing so many people supporting her, Wu Xiaohua wiped away her tears and couldn't help but smile.
After walking for a while, Wu Xiaohua couldn't help but ask, "Sister Zheng, you know so many people. You're amazing!"
Zheng Yufeng heard this and only smiled, but didn't say anything. Just from the time she joined Vézé's team, she could be said to be very experienced. When Vézé left Yongan for Wuzhou, he took care of the Tu family in Wujia Town. At that time, many children from the six local Guest villages joined Vézé's army. Gu Xingzhi and Zheng Yufeng both joined Vézé's army at that time.
However, at that time, men and women were separated. Gu Xingzhi, Zheng Yufeng, and the others followed the women's battalion and joined the Taiping army's women's battalion. They separated from Vézé and the others. From 1852 to 1855, this separation lasted three years. During the coup of Tianjing, before Vézé left Tianjing, he made a request that anyone related to his subordinates must be taken by Vézé. In January 1855, Gu Xingzhi and Zheng Yufeng returned to Vézé's command. They followed Vézé all the way from Jiangnan to Guangdong.
Gu Xingzhi later chose to study medicine and became the deputy director of the Guangdong Military Medical Academy. He also worked in the training of female nurses in the affiliated nursing school. Zheng Yufeng first learned strategy. Others specialized in the army, but she was transferred from the Ministry of Finance to the army because of the expansion of the army. At the same time, she helped the army with the latest accounting rules and regulations. After half a year of training, she would return to the Ministry of Finance.
Zheng Yufeng married three years ago and had a son. She married a fellow from the Liberation Army, Ruan Zhihao, the younger brother of Ruan Xihao, the current commander of the Second Army. Ruan Zhihao served in the Sixth Army and was a brigade commander. Needless to say, after Wu Xiaohua entered the nursing school, Colonel Gu Xingzhi of the military hospital could easily protect her. If Zheng Yufeng used her connections, it would be more than enough to deal with Wu Xiaohua's parents.
Thinking of Wu Xiaohua's parents wanting to exchange their daughter for a betrothal gift, Zheng Yufeng said angrily, "Xiaohua, there are many single good comrades in the army. When the time comes, let the organization arrange for you. You can marry whoever you like. You don't have to care about the family your parents found for you. "
Hearing Zheng Yufeng say this, some of the soldiers immediately jeered, "Big Sister Zheng, can the organization arrange for us? Wu Xiaohua is such a good comrade, we can't let other comrades in the army benefit! "
"Go, go, go! Since when is it your turn to interrupt? "Zheng Yufeng scolded with a smile.
Wu Xiaohua's gloominess had already flown away. With this reliable Big Sister Zheng and so many amiable comrades, she felt that there was nothing to be afraid of anymore.
From the army camp to the north, there was a fork in the road. The road to the northwest was the road to Xiangyin Crossing Town. The road to the northeast was the road to Yongxing City. At this time, the group had already passed the fork in the road and could see Xiangyin Crossing Town in the distance.
At this moment, there was a sudden weak gunshot from the northeast. The sound was the sound of the Liberation Army's rifle. Moreover, the gunshot was fired three times in a row. This was the sound used as a warning in the agreement. The Liberation Army had been monitoring the movements in Yongxing City. This was the reconnaissance unit firing a warning shot to the surrounding comrades.
"Hurry up and go back!" the platoon leader immediately shouted. At this moment, there was a sudden shout from behind the mountain not far away. A group of people emerged from the mountain.
