Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

This US execution lasted nearly four months.

In July, conservative Spanish officers launched a riot, and the Spanish Civil War broke out.

In September, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the "Instructions on Forcing Chiang Kai-shek to Resist Japan" to the party.

In early October, the First, Second, and Fourth Front Armies of the Red Army met in Huining, Gansu

There were no large-scale wars in either the West or the East.

But there is a feeling that a storm is coming, the mountains are full of buildings, and dark clouds are pressing down on the city, ready to destroy it.

Since entering Guangdong

This feeling is more obvious

People marching and fleeing can be seen everywhere.

Soldiers and police rushing back and forth

Prices of various commodities are also soaring

Li Yan felt heavy in his heart

There is no joy of going home

Kunpeng shouted: "Instructor"

“Turn this corner”

“We’ve arrived at Shanghang Wharf”

Xu Moyu noticed something was wrong with Li Yan

Gently shook Li Yan's hand

Li Yan finally came back to his senses from his deep thoughts.

Looking at Xu Moyu

He smiled and said, "We are home."

Xu Moyu also smiled knowingly

Didn't say anything

Xu Moyu understood what Li Yan meant

Since the two established a relationship

Li Yan promised Xu Moyu

As long as you arrive in Shanghang

With approval from superiors

The two can officially become husband and wife

The transport ship slowly approaches the dock

Look at the dock here, it has more than doubled in size.

Bustling merchants and boatmen

There were also Red Army soldiers maintaining order nearby

This made Li Yan feel much more relaxed.

It seems that the old squad leader, Chief of Staff Chu Ming and others are doing well in Shanghang.

When Li Yan was looking around

Front pier exit

A group of people gathered there, and there was a noisy sound.

Li Yan couldn't help but frowned.

Walking over with Xu Moyu, Kunpeng, Zhao Long and Zheng Hu

Through the crowd

Li Yan saw a squad of Red Army soldiers using their guns

Surround a middle-aged man dressed in rich clothes

The middle-aged man angrily pointed at a leading Red Army soldier

Said: "We have already paid taxes according to your Red Army rules."

"Without any reason"

“Why are you detaining my goods?”

"And take me away"

"This is what you Red Army members said about not harming the people in the slightest."

“This is simply banditry.”

The leading Red Army soldier seemed impatient

He shouted, "You bought so much grain from Shanghang!"

“Ready to ship out”

“Are you planning to sell it at a high price?”

"Making dirty money"

"Also, we suspect that you are not an ordinary businessman."

"He is a spy who specializes in gathering information in Shanghang."

What else do wealthy middle-aged people want to say?

The leading Red Army soldier waved his hand

The wealthy middle-aged man struggled

He was taken to a small house next to the dock by the Red Army soldiers.

Then the crowd around slowly dispersed

See here

Li Yan's heart sank

But Li Yan did not step forward to stop

Instead, he asked a middle-aged man next to him: "Big brother..."

"What's going on here?"

Middle-aged people looked at Li Yan

I looked around and saw that there was no one around.

Then he whispered: "Young man"

"I see you're here for business dressed like this."

"I advise you to leave here as soon as possible."

Li Yan asked in confusion: "Why is this?"

The middle-aged man pointed to the small house and said, "Did you see that person just now?"

"I know that person."

"It's Mr. Song from Heshun Rice Shop."

“Business is smart”

"In just over a decade, the business has grown bigger and bigger"

“Not only opened a branch in Fujian”

"We also expand our business to Guangdong"

“I don’t know what’s going on lately.”

"The price of rice in Guangdong is already as high as 13 yuan per stone, which is more than 3 yuan higher than here."

“There is still an urgent need”

"Boss Song wants to transfer some rice from Shanghang."

"To solve the urgent problem over there"

“Who knew it would be detained right after it was loaded?”

"Is Boss Song a black-hearted businessman or a spy?"

“It’s simply impossible.”

"Everyone in Shanghang knows that Heshun Rice Shop has been run by Mr. Song for the third generation."

"In addition, Heshun Rice Shop has two rules."

“The first is never to shortchange someone.”

"The second is that no matter where Heshun Rice Shop opens"

“Rice is always sold at the lowest price in this place.”

"Tell me, how can such a businessman be considered a black-hearted businessman, let alone a spy?"

"Hey, it's hard to be a good person in this world."

After saying that, the middle-aged man sighed and left

Li Yan's face looked very ugly.

Walking towards the small house by the pier

Xu Moyu, Kunpeng, Zhao Long and Zheng Hu were standing by and didn't dare to speak.

They knew that Li Yan was really angry this time

Li Yan just walked to the door of the small house

He was stopped by the soldiers on guard.

"What do you do?"

Li Yan said: "I want to go in and ask some questions"

soldiers standing guard

He said in a bad attitude: "If you have any questions, go to the dock and ask the manager."

“This is a military stronghold.”

“Not just anyone can enter.”

"Leave now"

Li Yan pointed to the sign of the Pier Service Consultation Room hanging next to the small house.

Said: "Isn't this the dock service consultation room?"

The soldier on guard raised his gun impatiently

Directly aimed at Li Yan

"Didn't I tell you this is a military stronghold?"

"Don't leave yet"

"You want us to arrest you"

Li Yan has been repeatedly insulted by the bad behavior of these Red Army soldiers on the dock.

Angry

I couldn't help but snort

Zheng Hu rushed directly to the guard

He raised his hand and snatched the rifle from the soldier

Before the soldier could react, Zhao Long pointed a gun at his head.

Li Yan strode into the small house

Just entered the house

Li Yan was shocked by what he saw.

Three or four soldiers were using whips

Beat Boss Song who was just brought in

Boss Song was lying on the ground with his hands and feet tied up.

covered in bruises

More air is coming out and less air is coming in

Li Yan shouted loudly: "Stop!"

The Red Army soldier who just ordered the arrest of Boss Song

Looking back, I saw Li Yan and others

He asked loudly: "Who are you?"

"Catch them"

Before the Red Army soldiers picked up their guns

Zhao Long immediately stood in front of Li Yan

They all took out their pistols from their arms

Pointing at the head of the leading Red Army soldier

Said: "This is Li Yan, the commander of the 24th Red Division"

As soon as this sentence came out

All the Red Army soldiers opened their mouths in surprise.

Don't dare to act rashly

Li Yan took a step forward

Patted Zhao Long on the shoulder

Then he looked at the leading Red Army soldier with a pair of sharp eyes.

Asked: "Which regiment are you soldiers from?"

"Who told you to arrest people at every turn?"

"Why did you resort to private actions against innocent people?"

"Don't you know you're going to be shot?"

The leading soldier began to tremble at this time.

He stammered, "Report to the division commander."

“That’s not what we do.”

“This is what the inspection team meant.”

Li Yan immediately asked, "What inspection team?"

The leading soldier said: "Last month"

"Suddenly a group of people came to Shanghang"

"They said the Central Government sent the 24th Red Army Division to inspect it."

"The inspection team suddenly sent us here two days ago."

“And commanded us”

"Anyone who does not have a pass from the division headquarters"

"A transport ship that transports large quantities of grain, ore, and other materials from Shanghang"

"All will be treated as spies"

"And they instructed us to use lynching."

“Also, I heard…”
