Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There is no winter in Central and South China, and June is full of fire.  Shanghai, far away in the northern hemisphere, is silent in the rain.  It seems that the continuous drizzle is more in line with the sorrow of farewell in people's hearts, so under the sky of the northern hemisphere, the same melancholy but with different results is played out.

    By the Huangpu River, the Bund.

    In front of us is the Huangpu River, which flows forward and merges into the sea.  Across the Bund Avenue, behind is the bustling Huangpu District.  Along the three-mile-long avenue, one side is full of various buildings.  There are no more or less than fifty-two buildings in Gothic, Baroque, Romanesque and a combination of Chinese and Western styles.  People living in Shanghai development zones don¡¯t know why Australians must build fifty-two buildings with different styles.  In order to make ends meet, they are just busy every day. Maybe when they have free time, they will take a look at the Bund and sincerely praise: "It's so beautiful." Then they smacked their lips and sighed: "I don't know when I can go in and take a look  Even if it¡¯s just doing chores.¡±

    These buildings on the Bund are the center of Shanghai.  Or it's a bank opened by Australians, or it's a bank account jointly established by merchants from the Ming Dynasty, or it's various trading companies that make a lot of money every day, or nightclubs where you can eat, drink and have fun. One night's stay can equal a month's income from a rickshaw ride.  big hotel.  For them, it is a place only rich people can go, and it is a place they admire.

    Most of them just took advantage of the patrolmen not paying attention and lay down on the benches next to the Huangpu River on the Bund to have a short rest, looking at the rushing Huangpu River and the neon-filled Bund at night.  , enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Bund.  Maybe this will become a topic of conversation for them when they return home during the New Year.  He proudly boasted to his fellow villagers that he always went to the Bund and was very familiar with them.  Then, with the envious expressions of the fellow villagers, he clearly explained the allusions to the Bund and the rights and wrongs of the Bund.

    At this moment, it was drizzling and there were few pedestrians on the street. Even the rickshaw driver looked for a tavern and asked for a bowl of rice wine.  Serve with a stack of fennel beans and wait for good business after the rain clears up.

    ????????????????????????????????? At this moment, opposite the building of HSBC Bank¡¯s Daming Headquarters, on the bench.  Sitting there was a soldier in a khaki military uniform.  He stood tall and straight, and the drizzle wet the shoulders of his khaki large-brimmed hat and military jacket. Water droplets flowed down the brim of the hat. However, the soldier seemed to have no feeling and just sat quietly.  Sometimes he raises his hands to reveal the half-covered cigarette, takes a deep drag, and exhales a cloud of light blue smoke.

    In the glass door across the street.  A handsome bank clerk seemed to be unable to stand it anymore.  He pushed open the glass, clasped his hands to say hello, and then gestured for the officer to enter the bank hall to take shelter from the rain.  HSBC has always only dealt with the wealthy, and the smallest denomination of food stamps is still one hundred taels.  Although there has never been any mention at the entrance of HSBC that entry is prohibited if the amount is less than 100 taels, but so far, it is rare for people to be so thick-skinned.  The mahogany furniture in the bank lobby.  A leather sofa can be intimidating to those with slim legs.  Even the little rich people in the countryside will most likely turn into idiots after entering, as startled as a bumpkin in the countryside.

    The shouts woke up the soldier who was intoxicated in the rain scene. The soldier turned his head, and then revealed a look of astonishment on his handsome face.  After understanding what the female staff member wanted to express.  The soldier smiled gratefully, then waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to bother.

    The female staff member blushed slightly and muttered, "What a weirdo."  Then he hid his face amidst the banter of his companions and ran back to the bank lobby.

    The soldier turned his head, facing the Huangpu River, took a deep breath, flicked his fingers, and the cigarette butt arced over the fence and fell into the Huangpu River.  Raising his left wrist, a radar watch came into view.  The beating hand clearly pointed to 6:10 in the afternoon.

    ?? Rado watches are produced in Australia. Unlike the luxurious Rolex, the concept of Rado watches has always been low-key luxury When these two diametrically opposite words are linked together, it is destined that the price of Rado watches is no worse than Rolex.  Some limited editions are even a bit more expensive than Rolex.  But the promise of only being slower by forty-eight seconds a year makes it destined to become the most accurate watch in this era.

    Everything shows that the officer is very rich, but he is like a sculpture intoxicated in the cheap beauty.  He was still humming softly in his mouth: " Corrupt officials will deceive the people, and the country will perish and the world will be in chaos. It is the responsibility of every man to control the chaos, rise and fall, and indignant men walk together together. He has millions of heroes in his chest"

    At this time, the drizzle on his head seemed to stop suddenly, and then a hand put on his shoulder.

    "Dingguo, make it easy for us to find you. We agreed to get drunk tonight, but as soon as the graduation ceremony ended, there was no trace of you. Who knew that you actually went to the Bund to seduce the bank white-collar workers?" The speaker Qing Qing  He was holding an umbrella and covering the head of a soldier named Dingguo with a joke on his face.  It seemed that the scene just now was caught in his eyes.

    Before Dingguo could say anything, another person said unhappily: "Everyone knows that we are the Three Heroes of Huangpu. We have always acted in unity and advanced and retreated together.  Now it's good, your kid got the first grade in graduation by luck, so you want to part ways with us brothers?  not authentic.  "

    "In the words of the instructor, it's called unorganized and undisciplined." The person who spoke before continued.

    Dingguo waved his hands helplessly: "It's not that exaggerated I just thought about it for three years after enrolling in school. I spent all day either scrambling around or burying my head in papers. I never experienced the beautiful scenery of the Bund. Maybe tomorrow.  I have to travel far, and I have to return home with all my heart today."

    "Arty."

    "This matter should be left to the students. Those of us who lead troops in war should not get involved."

    Dingguo laughed.

    Dingguo was named Dingguo and his surname was Li.  Together they are Li Dingguo.  In his early years, he followed the Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong on the battlefield and recognized Zhang Xianzhong as his adoptive father.  After Zhang Xianzhong was defeated, he followed Sun Kewang and others to retreat into Jiangxi.  The two people in front of him and Li Dingguo were actually brothers. One was Ai Nengqi and the other was Liu Wenxiu.  In 1946, the imperial court negotiated with them, the defeated remnants of the Great Western Army, and finally they chose to surrender.  Then the imperial court dismissed most of the Great Western Army in the name of reorganization, and the three of them were forced to enter the Whampoa Military Academy.

    These three men are good at leading troops in battles. Ai Nengqi uses troops fiercely and is good at charging and fighting; Liu Wenxiu uses troops in a strange and unconstrained way.  There is no trace; Li Dingguo used his troops in an upright manner and was good at using force to suppress the enemy.  Talented people will shine wherever they go.  Less than a year after entering school, these three people were nicknamed the Three Heroes of Huangpu by the instructors at the military academy due to their excellent military abilities.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As if there was some divine will, since they had this name, most of the three of them would be ranked in the top three, no matter how big or small the competition was.  The students selected and sent by the imperial court may still be separated from them.  But those Australian instructors didn't care about that.  Instructor Zhang Wei, who was the military attache of the embassy, ??seemed to be even more favorable to them.  He would always find time to gather them together and start a small stove Actually, it was not a small stove. Instructor Zhang just talked about Australia's current tactical system.

    "You shouldn't sneak away alone." Ai Nengqi complained: "You just left. Shao Yanjie called the big guys, borrowed the school's small screening room, and secretly played a movie for everyone."

    Looking at Li Dingguo¡¯s teasing look, Ai Nengqi blushed and immediately defended: ¡°Straight bitch, what are you thinking! It¡¯s not Edo Fever!¡±

    Edo FeverOkay, please refer to Tokyo Fever for the content.  Most of the people who travel through Australia are young men, and these young men were or are young men now.  I will always have an inexplicable feeling for Japan.  This feeling originated from the well-known love action movie series of later generations - Tokyo Fever.  Then this feeling was sublimated in the hearts of some young men who were rich, free and bored.  Since Tokyo doesn¡¯t have it yet, Edo Fever is here.

    Australian Petroleum CEO Peng Jiao invested and became the major shareholder, and several "big magicians" participated in the investment to select the best equipment.  Use the most expensive film and hire the most beautiful Japanese girls.  Edo Fever was founded at the end of 1948, and within three months, it became an instant hit in China and Australia.  There is a new movie released every month, and there are all kinds of movies.  The most terrible thing is the stage names of those actressesOzawa, Kurai, Asami, Nishino

    In March, the two troublemakers Shao Yanjie and Shao Yanping.  I stole the key to the school's small screening room, and in the middle of the night, I invited a group of male classmates to the small screening room and personally screened a movie called Edo Fever.  The level of appreciation is still at "Nanjing!"  Nanjing!  ¡·The male students in the film were all excited by the entangled women in the black and white film.  Unable to live up to expectations, his nosebleed immediately.  Some pornographic ghosts exclaimed that this is the soul of the movie, while many others were dumbfounded.

    For a moment, the small screening room was filled with shouts and screams, and no matter how hard the two brothers Shao Yanjie and Shao Yanping tried to stop them, they could not stop them.  In the end, the incident was discovered by the school.  All students watching romantic action movies are warned.  The two instigators, along with their uncle who was the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Australia, and Army Lieutenant General Fu Baichen, took care of them. The school only gave them one major demerit.

    But in the hearts of these young people, let alone a warning, it is worth remembering a major mistake!  That night was destined to leave an indelible impression on their seemingly pure but extremely boring hearts.  So when he heard the keywords "small screening room" and "Shaw Brothers", Li Dingguo's first reaction was that the unreliable brothers wanted to invite everyone to watch a romantic action movie again.

    "It's really not this Edo fever." Liu Wenxiu seemed a little regretful when he supported him.  He sighed and said: "This replay is the "Black Ops" military exercise of the Australian armed forces in 1948 It's an eye-opener."

    In the first year of school, these officers of the Great Western Army experienced disdain and overestimation, and in the end they became sincerely convinced and worshiped at the feet of the Australian art of war.  ?The big Australians have completely turned the war into a killing game.  They can even completely destroy an unprepared army across a mountain and beyond the horizon.

    A shelling like plowing a field, followed by a sea of ??infantry.  Personal bravery is of no use anymore. A farmer who has been trained for three months can easily kill a battle-hardened warrior at a distance of two hundred paces.  The war has completely changed the situation.  As officers who grew up in the old-style army, they would either be completely eliminated, or they would have to start from scratch and learn hot weapon warfare.

    "The 92 infantry cannon, the 120 heavy mortar, and the 75 rapid-fire gun have long been popularized in the Australian army. The infantry artillery is deployed in battalions and has an extremely wide firing angle, making it very suitable for mountain warfare. In conjunction with heavy mortars  Artillery, the firepower of the Australian Army's Mountain Infantry Division is so fierce." Liu Wenxiu, who majored in artillery command, said in admiration.

    "If it's just cannons, what I value most is rifles." Ainengqi continued: "The m1644 we are using now is just a fire stick compared to the m1646 assembled in Australia. The m1646 uses copper-cased bullets.  , loading seven bullets at a time, an individual soldier can't see much difference. But you can bring a company together to compare. The firepower density is more than seven times worse? I think it is more than ten times."

    "If you're looking for fish in the abyss, it's better to retreat and build a net." Li Dingguo said slowly.

    "That's easy to say!" Ai Nengqi retorted: "Although I have never been to Australia, I can guess how developed Australia's industry is to be able to produce such a magical weapon. I heard that boy Shao Yanjie say that Australia  The workers are only responsible for the final assembly, and other parts are manufactured on the assembly line. In the past, they were driven by high-horsepower steam engines, but now they are all electric. With the foundation of the imperial court, if it wants to catch up with Australia, it will take less than 180 years.  Don¡¯t even think about it.¡±

    "Even if you can't catch up, you have to catch up. Sooner or later, you will catch up." Li Dingguo said casually, and then said with a wry smile: "What's the use of being envious. We, the directional training military students, are destined to be impossible.  Join the Australian Army after graduation. Your future is already determined. Wherever you come from, you will go back."

    A discouraging remark made both Ai Nengqi and Liu Wenxiu fall silent.

    That¡¯s right, they are orientation committee trainees. After graduation, they will join Sun Chuanting¡¯s Guangwu Army.  Instead of Wu Yijun of the imperial court.  Comparing the two, Wu Yijun was obviously raised by his biological father, from his treatment to his equipment.  Everything is given priority; and the Guangwu Army is the stepmother, and its military resources depend entirely on the money from Guangdong and Guangxi.  If there is not enough, Sun Du will go around looking for big businessmen to fight against the autumn wind.

    At the beginning of 1946, the remnants of the Daxi Army retreated into Jiangxi.  The imperial court sent envoys to persuade him to surrender.  But the conditions were never agreed upon.  The imperial court planned to make the Daxi Army completely lay down its weapons, while the Daxi Army planned to separate itself.  Over the years, the Great Western Army may have struggled to defeat the Tatars.  But it was easy to defeat the Ming army.  They have the confidence.

    In the end, the talks collapsed because of too big differences.  At that time, Ma Shiying, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, sent a transfer order, ordering the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the bachelor Sun Chuanting to supervise the army to enter Jiangxi to quell the rebels.  This was Ma Shiying's plan to kill two birds with one stone. He planned to use this to defeat the thieves and weaken Sun Chuanting's Guangwu Army.  Sun Chuanting received the order.  Regardless of the objections of officials in Guangdong and Guangxi, he raised his troops and marched north.  Eight thousand Guangwu troops fought three battles and three victories, and defeated the 100,000 Daxi army without any temper.

    Sun Kewang was desperate.  Then he hurriedly looked for the Ming court envoy to restart negotiations.  Within a few days, negotiations were reached.  Ma Shiying started scheming again.  Seeing that Guangwu's army was powerful, he was afraid that after destroying the Daxi Army, his reputation would rise, so he simply took action and recruited the desperate Sun Kewang.

    According to the details of the negotiation, Sun Kewang was appointed as the commander-in-chief and supervised 20,000 troops to enter Sichuan to cooperate with Qin Liangyu in fighting the Manchus.  The remaining troops, the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled were all sent away, and the best and strongest were selected to join Wu Yi's army.  Lao Ma was very skillful in mixing sand and swallowed the soldiers and horses of the Great Western Army, and then sent the officers of the Great Western Army to Sun Chuanting.  In this way, soldiers and generals are separated, minimizing the possibility of rebellion.

    "The defeated subordinates of the past become the victor's subordinates. Only Lao Ma can think of such a damaging move.  Thinking of the uncertain future, the three of them were silent.  It is drizzling and the river is surging.

    After a long while, the irritable Ai Nengqi frowned and broke the silence:

    "It's going to rain, and my mother wants to get married, let it go! If that old man Sun Chuanting is a coward, the worst we can do is run away and go back to Brother Sun."

    "Confused!" Liu Wenxiu scolded: "If that's the case, I'm afraid even Brother Sun will suffer a disaster. Is the court easy to deal with? I'm afraid that after we leave, the army captured by the back leg will have to go on the road. The court is eager to widen the  The Wu Army and our Daxi Army are fighting to the death."

    "If a man dies, he will die! Besides, we still don't know who will win!"

    "Nonsense! There are only 20,000 brothers in the Daxi Army. They only have swords and spears. How can they be the opponent of the Guangwu Army? You have to go aside. Mo20,000 brothers were implicated.  "

    In the midst of the noise, Li Dingguo suddenly interrupted: "Actually, it's good to go to the Guangwu Army." Attracting their attention, he whispered: "The Guangwu Army uses the Australian infantry drill code. But Wu Yijun still uses it.  The old-fashioned three-stage shooting If there is a conflict, 10,000 Guangwu troops can easily defeat 50,000 Wu Yi troops. Don¡¯t look at Wu Yi¡¯s army with more artillery."

    "Furthermore, I don't think Governor Sun is that pedantic. We were enemies before, but now we are friends. As long as we work hard, are we afraid that we won't get ahead? After all, we are also the Three Heroes of Huangpu."

    When the somewhat exaggerated name was mentioned again, Ai Nengqi and Liu Wenxiu laughed.  There was a hint of arrogance in his smile unconsciously.

    After a pause, Li Dingguo turned his head, looked at the surging river and said: "Daxi no longer exists. Now that the imperial court is emphasizing innovation, the burden on the people has been reduced a lot. There are also armies with hot weapons, and they want to  To rise up can only lead to death. Don't think about that, don't forget our original oath."

    The two people behind him became serious at the same time, nodded solemnly, and said in unison: "I can't forget it, I will never forget it in this life!"

    Hatred has been ingrained in the bones, and it is difficult to forget.  Either he was wrapped in horse leather, or he personally wiped out the Tatar regime that destroyed Daxi.

    After a long while, Liu Wenxiu patted the two silent people: "Revenge is not something that happens overnight. Let's go."

    "Where to go?" Li Dingguo asked.

    Ai Nengqi smiled and said: "The second treasure of Huangpu invites the three heroes of Huangpu to go to Paramount Nightclub."

    "Paramount? I heard that Shen Cuiniang came to Paramount yesterday to sing." The indifferent Li Dingguo became energetic.  "Let's go together!"

    As night fell, the lanterns came on, and under the drizzle, three young and dazzling officers walked side by side.  (To be continued)
