The First Warlord of the Republic of China

.

Northeast spn, this was once one of the largest production corps bases in China. Since the beginning of the year, most of the production corps have turned into regular troops.

In the Beidahuang area of ​​Suihua, there is a large-scale farm that "cures all kinds of dissatisfaction". Thousands of young students are busy carrying out agricultural production here.

Cao Yuanhui, one of these reformed-through-labor students, has been on this farm for seven years, and the farm has undergone earth-shaking changes over the past seven years.

At the beginning, there were only simple agricultural machines such as tractors. Now, the farm has used large soybean combine harvesters, and the production efficiency has been continuously improved.

Life on the farm is rather monotonous, but peaceful. [

There is no right and wrong here, no city hustle and bustle, and no street shouting slogans. Every day is eating, sleeping, working, reading books, reading newspapers, listening to music, and military training from time to time.

It was Sunday, and Cao Yuanhui came to the gate of the farm to wait early in the morning.After a while, a motorcycle whizzed by with the sound of 'hululu', and the shelf behind the motorcycle was full of letters.

The motorcycle stopped at the gate of the farm, and a 27-year-old postman walked into the farm carrying a pile of letters.

"Old Zhang, do you have any letters from me?" Cao Yuanhui hurriedly went up to him and asked. The postman was surnamed Zhang and worked in the county post office. He would come to deliver letters once a week. .

"Yes, here it is!" Lao Zhang, who delivered the letter, took out a letter and handed it to Cao Yuanhui. Cao Yuanhui happily accepted the letter, bowed quickly and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhang."

"It's nothing! I don't think there are many chances to deliver letters to you." Old Zhang smiled.

"Ah? Why?" Cao Yuanhui asked in surprise.

"You don't know? Now that the production corps across the country has almost withdrawn, maybe you will be able to go home soon."

"Uh... eh?"

Cao Yuanhui was a little stunned, and looked back at the farm. He had spent seven years here, and when he thought of leaving, he suddenly felt a little bit sad.

"Don't think so much, go home! Go home and marry a woman and have a few babies. Don't think about making life difficult for Marshal Jiang." Lao Zhang patted Cao Yuanhui on the shoulder, he didn't understand Why do people like Cao Yuanhui want to fight with each other?

Old Zhang said earnestly: "My brother, although I am not a few years older than you, and I am not as educated as you, but we can see that our country was so poor at the beginning, the local chaos was terrible, and foreigners came to bully us. It’s not easy, Marshal Jiang still wants to fight the Russians and Japanese, so he doesn’t have so much time to argue with you, it’s expedient to lock you in. Now that’s over, the Russians are finished, and the Japanese are finished too , Our Republic of China is now approaching the heyday of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and it is time to employ people. If you are educated, you will definitely make great achievements if you work hard for the country."

"Yeah! I know." Cao Yuanhui nodded vigorously. After seven years of labor reform on the farm, he is no longer the simple-minded student who took to the street to strike out at the first moment of being encouraged by others.

In the year of Renzi, the year when the Sino-Russian War broke out, Cao Yuanhui just came to the farm. When he heard the victory of the war against Russia, his persistence was shaken for the first time.

Is it really that important whether or not to fall down the river?

In the year of Jiayin, the year when the Sino-Japanese War broke out, Cao Yuanhui was overwhelmed with excitement when he heard that the war against Japan had been won.

However, this war was also won by Jiang Yu leading the National Defense Forces.This made Cao Yuanhui completely doubt whether he was really used as a gun?

When Sun Dapao was extradited back to China by Japan and pleaded guilty, the most sacred thing in Cao Yuanhui's heart collapsed, completely collapsed.

...[

Cao Yuanhui took the letter, walked to the side, squatted on a log, opened the letter and looked at it. It was a letter from his mother from his mother.

Every year, my mother would ask someone to write a letter for me, and it still talked about the situation at home.

"Recently, the salary level has risen again. My mother can earn 35 yuan a month working in the factory. Your brother went to Russia to fight in the war last year and established a military industry. He has been promoted to the head of the regiment. Life at home is getting better and better, mother I bought a house in the city of Hangzhou, and your younger brother even bought a car with military pay, saying that he would leave it at home for you to drive. Your younger brother and mother are not worried. Mother is most worried about you now. It’s all because she didn’t take care of it at the beginning. You, let you follow Dapao Sun and his group to make trouble everywhere. You must reform yourself on the farm, try to go home early, and marry a wife early..."

Cao Yuanhui is a single-parent family. His father was framed by the government and died in a prison in his early years. He was brought up entirely by his mother, and he had a younger brother.

Because his father was persecuted to death by the Qing government, Cao Yuanhui was determined to overthrow this decadent foreign rule since he was a child, so he joined the Tongmenghui.

Every time the anti-Qing "poetry meeting" was held in Hangzhou City, he was there.

Later, he was absorbed by the Kuomintang as a key member at the bottom and developed many members in the school.

Cao Yuanhui's family's financial situation is not good, and his studies are supported by relatives, but there have been huge changes in the past few years.

The year Cao Yuanhui was arrested and reformed on the farm, his younger brother joined the army. As a military family member, her mother joined the 'Jiangnan Weaving Company' as a female worker, and her income immediately increased.

Later, Renzi's younger brother participated in the Sino-Russian War and the Jiayin-Sino-Japanese War. After the Sino-Russian War went to the battlefield, he fought bravely, killing three Russian soldiers, and because of his culture, he was promoted from a leader to a platoon leader.Jiayin performed well in the Sino-Japanese War and was sent to Huai'an Military Academy to study. After studying for three years, he graduated smoothly and became a battalion commander directly.

Last year, there was interference in Russia again, and I went to Russia to fight a circle and came back, making military contributions.Because of the reorganization and expansion of the army, he was promoted to the head of the regiment again.

As the head of the regiment, the military salary is 300 yuan a month, which can be described as extremely high.

Cao Yuanhui was very happy after reading the letter, but his impression of the outside world was still fixed in 1912, and he had no idea what China's prosperity looks like now.

At this moment, the assembly whistle sounded.

Cao Yuanhui quickly collected the letters from his family, stood up and ran quickly to the playground. After a while, thousands of intellectuals who were arrested and sent to the farm for labor reform gathered on the playground.

"All stand at attention." An instructor in camouflage uniform ordered loudly, and the following immediately corrected their posture.

"Relax. Now I'm announcing an important decision." The instructor announced loudly: "According to the military department's reorganization plan for the 'Production Corps', many farms are not included in the reorganization scope, and this farm will be converted into a private farm in half a month. "

There was an uproar below.

"Instructor, what shall we do then?"

"You, where are you from? You can go back. Those who don't want to go back can stay on the farm. According to the "Immigration Law" of the Republic of China, each of you can be allocated [-] acres of land." The instructor announced loudly, "These Agricultural machinery can also be allocated to you, but as a cultivated farm, you will not be entitled to the policy of exempting agricultural tax for three years."

"Great, you can go home."

"I don't want to go home, I want to stay here..."[

These older students who were "dictated to all kinds of dissatisfaction" reacted differently. Some wanted to go home already crazy, while others adapted to the quiet life of the farm.

"I'd better go home!" Cao Yuanhui made the same choice as most people and decided to go home.Although the conditions for staying are also very good, and the land is divided into agricultural machinery, Cao Yuanhui feels that now is the time when the country needs talents, and he should give full play to his strengths. During the seven years of working on the farm, he did not waste his studies. .

"Okay, even though you are free, today's morning exercise still has to go on as normal, everyone is there, turn left..." The instructor ordered loudly at this time.

On this day, the farm used for those young students in the labor camp in China was changed to a private farm. On that day, the labor camp students on the farm took a commemorative photo.

Early the next morning.

Cao Yuanhui packed his things, carefully packed the photos he had taken on the farm in the past seven years into a box, and then got on the car to the county seat with his luggage on his back.

"Cao Yuanhui, what do you want to do when you go home?" A classmate who was arrested together asked Cao Yuanhui. There are majors that went to college. Maybe I'll go around the country to see it first!"

When the setting sun first shone and the bright sun shone on the earth, a photographer took a photo of the convoy of reform-through-labour students returning home. This long photo was later stored in the Historical Memorial Hall.

This photo also bears witness to a phenomenon in an era and the end of the phenomenon.

It is also a testimony to the prosperity and stability of the Republic of China after the chaos of the founding period.It is also a testimony to the unity of the world, because the pattern of the unity of the world has been determined, so these students were released.

"Hehe! I didn't expect that we could still get 500 yuan. It seems that the country is really rich now. When we first came here, most of the grain harvested every year would be taken away. We could barely eat enough at that time. , now it’s 500 yuan if you make a move.” The classmate said with emotion.

"Yeah! The hard times were just a few years ago, and the conditions gradually improved later. Farming machinery was used for farming. In addition to eating enough, there are also a lot of canned food and other supplies. The food in the cafeteria is also much more abundant. I think it might be a wrong choice to stay on the farm, but it’s just that I haven’t been home for so many years.” Cao Yuanhui then expressed emotion, speaking of life on the farm, the following years were still very good, especially the past two years.

On the way to the county seat, Cao Yuanhui looked at the fields on both sides of the road, and saw that the fields were full of soybeans, and several planes flew across the sky, and the fertilizer was sown from the planes.

Cao Yuanhui couldn't help looking forward to it, what kind of scene will the long-lost city look like? (To be continued. Please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
