From to 1935 2020

Qiu Qingquan is very clear about the Communist Party's approach. The practice of killing oneself first and then killing others is restricted by various rules and regulations. People with his temperament are naturally not fond of it... .....

As for Wei Lihuang, he completely gave up on Chang Kaishen. Although Li Runshi said to his face that he should not blame the past, Wei Lihuang himself could not pass the psychological hurdle. In addition, he is 41 years old now, at the peak of his age At that time, he was asked to be willing to be ordinary, to take off his military uniform and become an ordinary person, but he was also unwilling, which was also very contradictory.

Two former Kuomintang senior officials with complicated moods left the door of the Revolutionary Committee together.Although Deng Fa left them to eat, they really didn't want to "eat" in the creepy-sounding place called the "Revolutionary Committee".

In Shanghai in July, it is already summer, and the sun sets very late.Wei Lihuang and Qiu Qingquan walked side by side on the streets of Shanghai, watching the flow of people around them, they were speechless for a moment.

Walking on the road, the two noticed that every time they crossed a street, they would see a Communist Party street department with a "neighborhood committee" signboard.When the two were recovering from their injuries, they also stayed in Beiping for a while. They knew that this was the Communist Party's tentacles controlling the grassroots, but they didn't expect that in Shanghai, only a month later, the Communist Party would extend its tentacles here so quickly.

Qiu Qingquan said: "Shanghai is such a big place, can the Communist Party manage it well?"

"It might not have been easy if the Japanese hadn't been here, but it's much easier now."

Wei Lihuang glanced at the newly opened "Nanjing Road Grain Station" across the street. There was a large cart parked at the gate, and the staff of the grain station were unloading the grain from the cart and transporting it into the warehouse of the grain station.

During the ten months of Shanghai's fall, it was severely damaged by the Japanese.Restricted by the influence of international public opinion, the Japanese did not engage in massacres here, but the only remaining local factory equipment, except those built in the concession, were moved away.The poor and crazy Japanese brought a large number of Japanese soldiers to Shanghai on ships one after another. In order not to return empty-handed, they were filled with local plundered materials and machines when they left.

After the Battle of Nanjing, the upper echelons of the military also realized that this place was not a place to stay for a long time, and they scraped the ground even more when they left.The Paris of the East, once known for its affluence, is nothing but an empty shell except for the concession area, and its situation is even worse than when Shanghai was liberated in 1949 in history.The situation would have been even worse if the CCP had not reached an agreement before the Japanese army retreated and did not carry out malicious destruction.

Both the national capitalists and the comprador forces suffered heavy losses in the process, and many of them directly cleared their property and then jumped the Huangpu River, saving even the opportunity to suppress the hanging street lamps afterwards.

When the anti-union forces that surrounded Songhu entered Shanghai, the entire Shanghai area was experiencing a food shortage—the Japanese robbed all the folk food, and the areas with the most food storage were in the foreign concessions.The special environment of the concession allowed it to buy foreign rice and noodles from the United States by sea during the Japanese occupation.

The remaining comprador forces in the concession colluded with the Japanese at that time, crazily raising food prices, and squeezing the last bit of people's fat and anointment from the people.And this situation reached its peak in the last months of 1938.

This scene in Shanghai, Qiu Qingquan and Wei Lihuang saw it clearly in the newspaper reports in Beiping—and this is the fact that after the anti-union forces entered Shanghai, they immediately forcibly took over the concession and then forcibly sealed it The reason for the "forced expropriation" of all the grain warehouses in the village.

However, precisely because the Japanese severely damaged Shanghai's industry, people's livelihood, and economy, the local bourgeois forces were also extremely weak during this period.

The ten-month meat-grinding war that took place in the Songhu area of ​​Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai destroyed the entire area.It is also because of being smashed, but it is "a blank sheet of paper that is easy to draw on".

After the Red Army entered Shanghai, the problems they needed to face were much simpler than those after the liberation of Shanghai in history.

Historically, when the People's Liberation Army entered Shanghai, it had to be wary of the emotions and thoughts of the civilians, petty bourgeoisie, and middle class here.But when this time and space entered Shanghai, those comprador capitalists who colluded with the Japanese to stockpile odds, relied on controlling the supply of food, offended all the common people in the middle and lower classes of Shanghai Beach, and at the same time took the initiative to buy food from Huang Ke's prepared " Next month's shooting list", added his own name.

The petty bourgeoisie in Shanghai, the ordinary middle class, used to think that they had landed and could be "financially free". After a few months of food crisis, years of savings were wiped out.

The petty bourgeoisie and the middle class often have political attitudes that swing left and right. When they go ashore and think they are financially free, they only think of the goodness of capitalism.Harvested, hurt, bankrupt, forced to rebound, counterattack and counterattack, they understand the principle that capital cannibalize people. In the eyes of big capital and big compradors, petty bourgeoisie and middle class are really the most delicious, chewy fat sheep.Only after encountering the iron fist of capitalism and feeling the "pain" of being cut leeks will the demand and enthusiasm for revolution be rekindled.

Qiu Qingquan and Wei Lihuang stopped by the notice wall next to the grain store on Nanjing Road, and looked up at the names with red circles on the white list pasted on the wall.

After the anti-union led by the Communist Party entered Shanghai, in addition to the gangsters and traitors, they were the first to arrest these speculative and profiteers—and those people are now hung on the wall with red circles. In the whole of Shanghai, almost everyone said that they deserved to be killed.

Those who have been killed so far are only middle- and lower-level flies for the time being. The real big tigers are still imprisoned in the counter-revolutionary committee.When Wei and Qiu came over, the people who begged for mercy had already spread the voice and telegram for help to Beiping through various connections, and even reached the ears of Li Runshi and Wu Hao.

In order to prevent the family members of these profiteers from transferring away the money stored in foreign firms, the CCP immediately sealed up the foreign firms stationed in Shanghai in various countries after entering Shanghai, and then audited the accounts to confiscate these "people's fat and people's anointing squeezed by counter-revolutionaries"—— Up to now, the foreign firms in the concession are still arguing and negotiating with the CCP on this matter.The attitude of the CCP is very clear: require foreign banks to hand over the property of those "counter-revolutionaries".

Wei Lihuang looked at the names on the wall and found that he hadn't seen anyone he knew yet, but he knew that there must be many acquaintances of his in the prison of the anti-revolutionary committee.

"Will Li Runshi kill those who hoarded food in Shanghai for reselling in the past few months?"

Qiu Qingquan said: "I don't know...but I know that Deng (referring to Deng Fa), he must want to kill someone. After I talked to him a few words, I felt uncomfortable all over. It made me feel worse than those two guys at CC."

Wei Lihuang said: "Before going south, I talked with Li Runshi, he is an idealist."

"Ah."

"He told me that he was not afraid of foreigners joining forces to interfere in the Chinese revolution. He said that external pressure from foreign enemies would only make the CCP organization purer and stronger... When he said this, his His eyes and his self-confidence are telling me that he is not lying, he really thinks so..."

Qiu Qingquan said: "Li Runshi is still following the Soviet style! That's why I have been refusing to join them. He has been burned out by the Marxist-Leninist style and is desperate. Kill a few hoarders It’s okay to be a profiteer. If it were me, if my soldiers were poor and hungry, I would unceremoniously snatch them away. What really made me think he was crazy was that he entered Shanghai, it was so tough on foreigners in the first place! The times have changed, why is he still playing the tricks of beating local tyrants ten years ago, and using them on foreigners."

He has a problem with his personality, he is naturally stubborn and stubborn, but he does have skills.

"Li Runshi is an outstanding man, he will not understand the consequences of doing so. Huang Yuanxing, who he uses very much, is even a 'true capitalist' who amazed even foreigners. He colluded with DuPont in Shanghai and played in the United States. , but even foreigners admire it. I am not surprised that Li Runshi is not afraid of foreigners, but Huang Yuanxing, who understands foreigners so well, actually has an attitude on this matter."

Wei Lihuang also expressed some puzzlement.During the Agrarian Revolutionary War in the past, the CCP was a local force with little capital, so it was understandable to beat local tyrants and eat big families. Even Chang Kaishen asked Kang Ze to use kidnapping to make money!But now the situation has changed. Li Runshi already has two-thirds of China in his hands. The industrial base of the Republic of China is basically in his hands now. It's not worth it.

"What did you get out of Li Runshi's mouth?"

"I persuaded him at the time that after entering Shanghai, you targeting foreign firms like this will affect the future business dealings with foreigners in peacetime. China will no longer be closed to itself as it used to be. At that time, I used Huang Yuanxing as an argument, Ask him Huang Yuanxing's attitude on this matter."

"Then, what is Huang Yuanxing's attitude on this matter?"

As soon as Huang Ke was mentioned, Qiu Qingquan became energetic. In the battle of Huainan, he always believed that his defeat was a crime not due to war, and he kept it in his heart.Guo Xiaogui and Lin Changhe were created by Huang Ke, of course he knew that Huang Ke was the real mastermind behind the scenes.

"At that time, Li Runshi answered me: If Xiaohuang and that little devil were to handle the Shanghai affairs, when we enter Shanghai now, we will only see the corpses of capitalists and profiteers hanging on the street lights and roads. He said that on this matter , if Huang Ke handles it, the street lights in Shanghai will not be enough."

"what?"

Qiu Qingquan was taken aback when he heard that, Huang Ke's name, but currently in the CCP, the reputation is second only to Li Runshi's No. [-] figure - even overwhelmed Wu Hao, the international reputation is far better than him, those male foreigners, Mentioning this "cow dung with a golden princess stuck in it", everyone gritted their teeth with hatred.

After becoming famous, most of the things that Huang Ke has done have been looked at by people with a magnifying glass, especially the hype on the streptomycin stock, the methods he used to play dead Kong and Song, and the successful harvest in the United States. The "heavy results" of one knife have now been stabbed by the media. ——In this matter, the Dupont company didn't intend to keep it a secret for Huang Ke in order to get rid of the blame and find someone to absorb hatred.

Ironically, in the eyes of those plutocratic maggots who are familiar with Huang Ke in the United States, Huang Ke's label is not "cow dung with a golden princess stuck in it", but "a real capitalist!".

When the two talked here, all the grain on the car parked next to the grain store had been unloaded. Wei Lihuang walked over, stopped the person who looked at the leader of the store and asked, "Comrade, I am Beiping." I'm here to ask you something."

After several months of injury on the territory of the Communist Party, and a period of time in Beiping, even Wei Lihuang, when he speaks now, inevitably has the flavor of "Communist Party".

The store manager is a man in his 30s, with an obvious military look on his face. When chatting with him, Wei Lihuang noticed that the other party's right hand is disabled, and two fingers are missing - obviously a disabled veteran soldiers.

The current CCP has a serious shortage of cadres. In order to make up for the gap in cadres, the common practice in various places is to assign soldiers who have been disabled and retired from the war to key positions in various places after a period of cadre training and emergency literacy. Serve as a leader - it doesn't matter if you don't know how to manage the place, but the top leader must be one of your own, and the rest will be done slowly later.

The other party also noticed the two of them, and after seeing the same Nanjing Defense War Medal hanging on their chests in their military uniforms, the "Three Irons of Life" who had been lying in the trenches together spontaneously arose and laughed.

Soldiers greeted each other with a military salute.

"Have you recuperated your injuries in Peking?"

"Well, are you there too?"

"I was sent to Xi'an to live in the Huaqing Palace, where Concubine Yang lived."

The man on the opposite side pinched the medal on his left chest, with a proud expression on his face, and then said: "I was injured at the end of November. After fighting for half a month, a shell flew over..."

He raised his missing left hand. Although there was sadness on his face, it was more proud.

Wei Lihuang pulled the neckline to reveal fresh scars on his shoulders, but Qiu Qingquan didn't need to show the wounds—his wounds were on his face, and there was a scary gash on the left half of his face.

Wei Lihuang replied: "I was injured on October [-]th. The little devil's Type [-] bomb almost killed me."

And Qiu Qingquan pointed to the scar on his face, and replied: "The shrapnel from the Italian cannon is chipped, the British chariot is really unreliable, the skin is too thin, it can be worn through a dozen!"

"Chariot? Are you driving an armored chariot?"

The other party was in awe, and looked at the two of them again, with an extraordinary bearing, and immediately understood what was going on: this should be a high-ranking official who came down from the top and paid a private visit in disguise, right?

Then he quickly raised his hand and saluted again.

The other party's respect made Qiu Qingquan feel weird. He knew that the other party mistook him for "comrade", but this feeling of being looked at by the other party's respectful eyes made Qiu Qingquan feel very good, and reminded him of many years ago—— — This kind of look, only before April [-], he often felt it.After April [-], there were only small soldiers in the Kuomintang army who feared rather than respected their officers.

Wei Lihuang also had mixed feelings, feeling a little ashamed and said:

"Don't be so polite. The revolution does not distinguish between superior and inferior. We all crawled out of the same death pit."

When he said this, Wei Lihuang not only smiled, but seemed to have embezzled the verbal fear of the Communist Party's political workers.

"Is this the charm of the Communist Party?"

He and Qiu Qingquan looked at each other, both of them had the same strange look in their eyes, as if they were expressing the same meaning: Old Wei (Qiu), have you been infected by the Communist Party?

Qiu Qingquan said: "I entered the hospital a few days later than him. He also had a brother who had his throat cut by shrapnel and was not rescued..."

The manager of the grain store sighed, with a sad expression on his face.

"The comrades in my company, I heard people say afterward that less than half of them survived in the end, and half of those who survived were going to retire like me. Fortunately, the chairman has prepared our retreat... ...."

Speaking of this, his face was full of hope again.

Wei Lihuang and Qiu Qingquan looked at each other, and they both had the same thought: no wonder the CCP soldiers fight so desperately on the battlefield.Chang Kaishen and Li Runshi are far behind in their attitudes towards disabled and retired soldiers.On Chang Kaishen's side, the disabled soldiers were basically thrown aside like garbage.

On Li Runshi's side, after being disabled, he found a way out, and even arranged for a small official.

Qiu Qingquan was also convinced:

"No wonder those political commissars forced you to learn how to read and write when you were in the hospital. In fact, they were preparing for you!"

"Yes, yes! My old Zhou didn't study hard at the time, but now I regret it to death."

The full name is Zhou Dengke, the store manager put his hips on his hips and smiled.

We are all soldiers, we all crawled out of the hell of the same meat grinder, and we met again in Shanghai after the victory of the war, and we were in a good mood with each other.Manager Zhou led the two of them into the office behind the grain store, where they sat and chatted together.

Wei Lihuang asked about the current food supply situation in Shanghai.After learning that the CCP had entered the city, it immediately began to count the population of Shanghai and make detailed household registration.

Manager Zhou kindly reminded the two of them: From next month, the food stamp supply system will be implemented here in Shanghai.Distribution of food by head.In the future, when going to a grain store to buy grain, or even to eat in a restaurant or buy cakes, you will need to provide a certain amount of food stamps in addition to paying.

When walking out of the grain store, Qiu Qingquan said:

"Different from the chairman, the chairman only cares about getting enough for himself, and the rest is for the people below to deal with. On the contrary, the Communist Party controls the sky, the ground, the air, food, drink, and everything else! That's how I am. I don't want to join them."

Qiu Qingquan said strange words: "The newspapers say that the Chairman is a high-handed spy agent, but in fact, in terms of the strictness and meticulousness of the rule, the Communist Party is a hundred times more powerful than him!"

Wei Lihuang said: "Yes, you are not wrong! But even so, why did the civilians in the bandit area prefer to follow the Communist Party, but they are not willing to go with us?" Habit, occasionally say words like bandits)

"Isn't that the bastards under your command, peeling layers of skins, taking what they want, forcing them to vote for the Communist Party to survive..."

"When Huang'an suppressed the bandits, um, when the Communist Party was suppressed, I caught an official who defected from the Communist Party. He said that he only embezzled more than a dozen catties of grain, and he was about to be shot by the people above. Li Runshi gave up the palace I live in an ordinary house for wounded soldiers, and I wear ordinary clothes. He is very strict, but the discipline of his army is really good. To be exact, it is unimaginable that it will be so good. …”

Speaking of this, Wei Lihuang sighed and looked around. It was almost dark. On the nearby streets, several teams of "Communist" soldiers were preparing for the dark to rest and were doing street stalls.

After entering the city, he did not disturb the people or occupy the houses. Before the barracks were built, the troops who entered the city basically slept on the streets.After Wei Lihuang saw the photos of sleeping on the streets of Shanghai in Beiping, he completely understood that neither Li Zongren nor Chen Jitang had a chance to come back.

The sky was getting dark, and it was time for the Red Army in Lusu to start their meals—the food was all brought in from outside the city with good luck.On both sides of Nanjing Road, for a while, there were soldiers standing and eating with bowls in their hands.Seeing this scene, Wei Lihuang said to Qiu Qingquan: "Yu'an, no matter what you choose in the future, don't fight against the Communist Party anymore. Whether it is Li Zongren or Chen Jitang, they have no chance."

Qiu Qingquan nodded, of course he also understood this truth.

"I've seen this set of the Communist Party during the Northern Expedition. I didn't expect it to be done to this extent in the hands of Li Runshi. It's just that how long will they last in the future?"

Wei Lihuang said: "Until the world is completely obtained, it will definitely not change. So, Yu'an, don't do stupid things."

Speaking of this, Wei Lihuang thought of another character: Huang Ke and Huang Yuanxing, the young man who brought Chang Kaishen to where he is today.He had long wanted to see him. Before coming to Shanghai, he heard that he was going back to China soon.

That night, Wei Lihuang and Qiu Qingquan did not stay in the hotel arranged for them by the CCP, but stayed at the home of an old friend in the old concession.Wei Lihuang's wife, Zhu Yunheng, was also one of the famous ladies in the Republic of China. She had traveled abroad and stayed in the United States, and she had a very wide network of contacts in Shanghai.When Wei Lihuang was injured in the Battle of Nanjing, she followed him to take care of him.

When Wei Lihuang went south this time, she also came to visit friends with her, and now she lives in the house of an old friend in the concession.Wei Lihuang took Qiu Qingquan to stay there that night.

Note: Wei Lihuang's first wife Zhu Yunheng and Song Meiling are good girlfriends.Wei Lihuang and Wei Lihuang are a rare couple, because of her relationship with Meiling, Wei Lihuang has been prosperous in the early stage.After his wife died on the operating table in 1939 when she got a minor illness, Wei Lihuang started to go downhill.

Chapter 294

The public trial of Chang Kaishen requires a lot of criminal evidence to be collected, and the Peking Central Committee is not in too much of a hurry.

On April 1937, [-], when Chang Kaishen was forced to leave the field by Chen Jitang and Li Zongren, he was very embarrassed and hurried when he left the Nanjing Chairman's Mansion.At that time, he and his wife carried their suitcases, took some documents they considered confidential, and then left.
