Japanese troops entered and occupied Gangdong Province. It took two months to clean up the mines in the Huai River, and the ships of the former Jiangdong Steamship Company were confiscated and hung with the sun flag for the transportation of military supplies.

This passenger ship was arranged by Zeng Jiao, with an operating license issued by the Japanese, and can travel between Beitai and the provincial capital, and the refugees who fled to Beitai before began to return to the provincial capital, so the business is not bad, the cabin is all full of guests, Xia Xiaoqing Lin Wenjing They were arranged in the first-class cabin, with spacious space and river views.

Double Happiness escorted the female dependents to the provincial capital, he took off his military uniform and changed into short pants, dressed like a little follower, served tea and water all the way, and served thoughtfully.

All the way down the river, arrived at the provincial wharf in the evening, the passengers carried large bags and small luggage and walked the trembling gangplank to get off the ship, looking up, on the flagpole of the port authority building, a dazzling sun flag fluttered in the wind, at the exit of the wharf, there were two Japanese soldiers, anyone who entered and exited had to bow to them, otherwise they would be beaten.

The first-class guests got off the ship first, the nurse held the little cabbage, the maid hugged Lin Wenjing, Xia Xiaoqing was injured, did not carry the luggage, and walked in front empty-handed, she was tall, standing in a group of people like a chicken, and quickly attracted the attention of several people.

There were three men standing in the corner of the port wall, Yishui's black gown, top hat, sunglasses, belt on the gown, and a shell gun.

These three are Xia Xiaoqing's old acquaintances, the four tigers in the provincial city of the year, after being slaughtered by Zhao Ziming, only the three tigers remained, squatting in prison for three years, not only did not change their ways, but the arrogance became more arrogant, after the Japanese came, no one wanted to be lackeys, the three brothers volunteered to serve the imperial army, won the trust before and after the saddle, and became a member of the detective team, specializing in the security of the dock.

The second child touched the third child with his elbow, and Nunu mouthed in the direction of the passenger, and the third child pushed his sunglasses and muttered: "This girl is a little familiar, I'm afraid it's not...... It won't be Chen Zikun's wife. ”

The fourth child also found out about the situation and said, "It's really like, let's go, go and check it." ”

The three ** swayed over and blocked the way: "Stop, who are you, where are you from, where are you going?" ”

Xia Xiaoqing looked at it and said disdainfully: "Get out." ”

"Yo, you're not small, I'll give you a little power." The third child reached out and took out the gun, and the arm was held down, which was double happiness.

"This master, what's wrong with you?" Shuangxi greeted with a smile, but the masturbation in his hand resisted the waist of the third child.

The second and fourth children were shocked, they had been on duty at the dock for so long, and the first time they saw someone who dared to play tricks under the noses of the Japanese, they immediately shouted, and the sound of a broken gong echoed inside and outside the dock: "Come on, arrest the anti-Japanese elements!" ”

Just a group of soldiers carrying stretchers came from behind, and the first person split the face and gave the second child a big mouth: "What are you shouting!" ”

The second child was stunned, covering his face to look at these people, wearing military uniforms, carrying big guns, with cold eyebrows, and a strong momentum, he couldn't tell which part it was.

The Japanese soldiers on duty at the wharf arrived, and the people who got off the ship showed their ID and official documents, and it turned out that they were the team responsible for sending the wounded to the provincial capital for medical treatment, and the people lying on the stretchers were all the Imperial Cooperative Army who were seriously wounded in the sweeping operation in Nantai.

The Japanese soldiers stood in awe and snapped.

The three tigers were dumbfounded, the Japanese didn't help to support them, and they didn't dare to make a mistake, so they had to watch these people leave.

Out of the dock, two cars were already waiting at the door, one directly carrying the seriously injured Chen Qilin to the hospital, and 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, except for a little deserted, do not seem to be much different from before, Xia Xiaoqing specially asked the coachman to go around Fenglin Road to see where he once lived.

Fenglin Road has become a villa for high-ranking Japanese military officers, and the street entrance is piled with sandbags and machine guns, and it is impossible to enter without a special pass, and the former home has become a den of robbers, which is really embarrassing.

They were received by Liu Youjin, the chairman of the Jiangdong Provincial Maintenance Council, who endured humiliation and stayed in the provincial capital, just to prevent chaos and the people from suffering, and now the general trend has been decided, he is unwilling to wear the hat of a traitor anymore, and he wants to resign and do nothing, but the Japanese are unwilling to let him go, so he has to be the governor of Jiangdong Province.

In fact, there are many people who covet the position of pseudo-governor, including Sun Kaiqin, the overseer of the army, Zhang Pengcheng, a senior senator of the provincial government, and Liu Yuzheng, an old Beiyang politician in the twenties, who also came out of the mountain and wanted to be the governor again.

The Japanese chose puppets in principle, the officials of the Kuomintang system were given priority, and it would be better if they were prestigious and capable, and then it was the turn of the warlord politicians in the Beiyang period, Liu Youjin served as the secretary general of the provincial government for a long time, and his qualifications and prestige were sufficient, and he was the governor of the province.

Of course, Sun Kaiqin, Zhang Pengcheng and others were willing to serve, and they couldn't snub people's enthusiasm, so Sun Kaiqin went out of the mountain and became the commander-in-chief of Jiangdong Provincial Security, and a group of old subordinates also came to take refuge, only the old brother Duan Haixiang was unwilling to be a traitor and couldn't resign.

Zhang Pengcheng was appointed as the head of the provincial police department, and his power was so great that he could compete with the provincial government, which was also a clever move by the Japanese, allowing the Chinese to fight each other to balance the constraints.

At present, the provincial capital is in such a situation, Liu Youjin is unwilling to be the governor, and the Japanese forced him to be, and the two are in such a stalemate.

Xia Xiaoqing, Lin Wenjing and others temporarily lived in Liu Youjin's house, rested for a few days and then went to Shanghai, there are too many acquaintances in the provincial capital, in case they are recognized, it will be troublesome, compared to the Shanghai concession is the safest.

Liu Youjin used his identity to purchase a batch of disinfectants, bandages and other materials for the treatment of external injuries, and transported them back to Jiangbei for use in Shuangxi, as for the ordnance and ammunition, he couldn't do anything, the Japanese controlled it very strictly, and they couldn't get it from time to time.

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 intelligence.

Wang Sanliu told him about the Japanese army's sweeping route and the number of troops dispatched, although Shuangxi was only an adjutant, but he followed Chen Zikun's side, and he also knew a little about strategic and tactical matters.

"I have to rush back immediately and ask Commander Wang to lend me a fast horse." Double happiness is impatient.

……

Nantai County, full of smoke and miasma, Jiangbei Anti-Japanese Salvation Alliance Army is full of bandits, salt lords, ruffians, not only Jiangbei locals, but also the rout from Hubei, and the habitual bandits fleeing from Henan, all of them are lawless and accustomed raptors, and no one will give face.

The bandits did evil in the county town, robbed everywhere, raped people's girls, and were worse than the Japanese, but they were in the name of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Alliance, and they were the anti-Japanese team under the command of Commander-in-Chief Chen Zikun.

Chen Zikun sent Gai Longquan to set up a law enforcement team to patrol the streets, specifically to catch the guys who harmed the common people, and arrested more than a dozen black sheep in one night, most of them from other counties, all of whom were locked up in the old county government jail, and when the day dawned on, they were severely punished according to law.

Before dawn, the commanders from all walks of life came to the door, none of them urinated on the pot of Longquan, what bandit leaders in Daqingshan, that is the old yellow calendar, now it is the Yangtze River after Lang pushes the front Lang, one generation is stronger than the next.

In the hall of the county government, there are heroes from all walks of life, all dressed in different ways, some wearing military uniforms and riding boots, some wearing robes and horse coats and box guns, some wearing old sheepskin jackets, some wearing silk gowns, in short, there are all kinds of clothes of different colors, and there are guards with big knives and shell guns behind them.

"The Commander-in-Chief has arrived!" With a shout, Chen Zikun came out of the back hall, dark green tweed uniform, three gold stars representing the rank of general on the collar badge, tall figure, strict armed belt, eyes sweeping, not angry and self-imposing, the heroes were intimidated by his might, and they all stood up obediently, nodded their heads, and their voices were different: "Good commander!" Meet the Commander and say hello to the Commander. ”

Chen Zikun sat down and said, "Sit down." ”

The sound of an ass sitting on a chair.

"Last night, the law enforcement team was dispatched and arrested fourteen bastards who harmed the people, what do you say should be done?" Chan asked.

"Kill!" Zhao Ziming, who was born as a railway worker, stood up and made a ruthless gesture of cutting melons, "These animals are worse than Japanese devils, if you don't kill them, you can't do it!" ”

"***, whose crotch is open and exposes you!" A man with a plaster on his head jumped up, pointed at Zhao Ziming and scolded, "Brother Lao Tzu, who dares to touch Lao Tzu and play with him!" ”

This man's name is Hu Jinbiao, he has been a bandit, has eaten military rations, Henan floods, he led a group of brothers to Jiangbei to find a way out, robbed houses, and occasionally beat the Japanese, in short, where there is a bargain, he is the most powerful, there are 500 guns.

"Fuck, girly, dare to scold Lao Tzu!" Zhao Ziming lifted his gown and pulled out two boxes of Wang Ba, which immediately caused a burst of laughter.

Hu Jinbiao also laughed, pulled out a twenty-shot pot-bellied box gun from his waist, and slapped it on the small table in front of him: "See clearly, this is the gun used by the masters, if you have a kind, you can hold the fire and see who dies first." ”

Zhao Ziming was furious, raised his gun and aimed at Hu Jinbiao's head, and suddenly both sides raised their guns, and the swords were tense, and they were about to explode.

Chen Zikun couldn't stand it anymore, and slapped the table, and the sound was like thunder: "Put down the gun!" Rebellion! ”

The bandits disagreed with each other, but they still didn't dare to show their hair in front of Chen Zikun, the official general, Hu Jinbiao snorted and put down the gun first: "I give the commander-in-chief face, and I don't care about you." ”

Zhao Ziming also put down the gun stupidly and turned his head to the side.

Chen Zikun said: "All of you here are the commanders of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Alliance, and they are soldiers!" Not bandits! Soldiers regard obedience to orders as their duty, so there is no question of giving face to whom. ”

Hu Jinbiao also pinned his face to the side, his expression quite disdainful.

"Commander Hu, nine of these fourteen people are your brothers, what do you say should be done?" Chan asked.

"What else can I do, the brothers were born to fight Japan, what kind of is to play a few little girls, in my opinion, it's okay to punish three glasses of wine." Hu Jinbiao said disapprenously.

Chen Zikun thought for a while and said, "Okay, you give me face, I will also give you face, bring 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, but he didn't think that he would just forget it quietly, could it be that Chen Zikun is no longer the Chen Zikun of the year.

"Thanks!" Hu Jinbiao stood up and bowed his hand, and swaggered away with his subordinates.

The commanders of all walks of life also dispersed, and only Chen Shougai, Longquan, Zhao Ziming and others remained.

"Uncle Kun, the surname Hu is not a thing, why do you give him a good face." Zhao Ziming gritted his teeth.

Chen Zikun said: "There are more than 500 people under his hands, we will suffer a loss in the fight, stabilize him first, set the wine at night, everyone listen to my order, arrest and execute Hu Jinbiao, in order to set an example!" ”

Only then did everyone get excited, Chen Zikun was still the brave and resourceful handsome man he was back then.
