Courtyard House: He Yuzhu started in 1948

What kind of place is Dongjiaomin Lane?

Foreign consulates!

The Legation Quarter was occupied by imperialist countries during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China period. The Northern Expeditionary Army took over Beiping City during its Northern Expedition, but did not dare to enter Dongjiaomin Lane.

But now, our troops are going to make a round, which is not only a reminder to the imperialist embassies, but also has another symbol: the Legation Quarter will belong to China from now on!

What He Yuzhu was unaware of was that after our army entered Beiping and officially took over the city, the Military Control Commission began to operate in the former German and Japanese embassies and barracks, which was undoubtedly another warning to the Western powers.

As for Zhang Tianyong's concern that spies might sabotage the army's entry into the city on the day of the army's formal entry, that's impossible.

The vanguard entered the city on January 31. In the following days, the army not only did not harm the people, but also helped them in every way. Vegetable vendors from outside were allowed to enter the city, and a large amount of grain was brought in so that the people could have food.

The people, ravaged by war and foreign powers and warlords, had very low demands.

In addition, the cadres who had been infiltrating Beiping in the early stages took good care of the people and promoted the idea of ​​equality for all... At least a quarter of the two million people in Beiping had been taught new ideas.

Spies have nowhere to hide from ordinary people!

Of course, He Yuzhu was looking at the problem from God's perspective, but for the staff at this stage, preventing spies from causing sabotage is still a very difficult task.

According to incomplete statistics, there were 16,000 secret agents from all sides in Beiping during this period, and more than 50,000 defeated soldiers were scattered on the streets and mixed among the people.

They are all people who need to be dealt with.

……

On February 3, the army officially entered the city.

On this day, a sandstorm hit Beiping, and He Yuzhu and Tian Zao couldn't help but cover their faces.

However, upon learning that the army had entered the city, the streets were filled with civilians who rushed to inquire, and even many people from afar were pushing forward. They did not hesitate to stand in the cold wind for more than four hours just to catch a glimpse of our army's prowess.

He Yuzhu stood in the cold wind for even longer, until his legs went numb, but the burning blood in his chest made him forget everything.

He Yuzhu had waited too long for this moment.

At that moment, he witnessed history!

"Good job, kid."

A soldier in ordinary military uniform came up to He Yuzhu. They knew what these children were all about, so they were especially enthusiastic.

He Yuzhu waved his hand, indicating that it wasn't hard work: "What's so hard about this? You guys have a hard time fighting wars."

"Ha ha!"

The soldier pointed to the American-made M2 ​​Stuart light tank in front of him and invited He Yuzhu, "Would you like to sit in the tank for a bit?"

This book was first published on 2009.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.

"Really? Can I?"

He Yuzhu's eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't expected that coming to watch the army enter the city would come with such a perk.

That's a tank!

The soldier nodded: "Of course!"

"I want!"

He Yuzhu did not hesitate to ask for the photos and found Lu Qinghuan's reporter friend to take some pictures of him.

He wanted to keep it as a keepsake!

This is history!

This is something I can brag about for the rest of my life on short videos!

The scene of a child riding on a tank of troops entering the city is based on a historical event and actually happened.

Before the advance troops entered the city on January 31, the Northeast Field Army conducted a large-scale evaluation of their eligibility to enter the city. They were screened based on factors such as their amiable speech, their relationship with the masses, and the neatness of their clothing. Those who did not meet the criteria were not allowed to enter the city first.

This led the civilians who saw the troops entering the city to think that the soldiers were too serious... After the leaders of the Military Control Commission found out, they issued the "Regulations on Changing the Army's Overly Serious and Insufficient Liveliness", which led to the scene of students climbing onto tanks and hugging the soldiers.

He Yuzhu was fortunate enough to become one of them.

With the help of the soldiers, He Yuzhu climbed onto the tank, and then called Tian Zao to come up. The two sat on the tank, smiling broadly.

This became their first photo together, and both of them still cherish this day sixty years later.

The civilians who came to watch the army enter the city saw He Yuzhu and his children climbing on the tanks, and the soldiers next to them were also laughing... How could this scene be so harmonious?

Older people are starting to feel envious.

That's a tank!

If teenagers can go up there, can my 360-month-old baby go up there?

"Sir, may I go up?"

Although the people of old Beiping lived a hard life, they were bold and talkative. Seeing the soldiers getting along well with the children, they also became bolder: "I'm 363 months old, I'm still a child."

soldier:……

He allowed He Yuzhu to go up because these students and children were not dangerous and were his own people. Why would a grown man like you go up there?

But how do I refuse?

The soldiers were somewhat troubled by the strict regulations issued by their superiors.

Realizing this, He Yuzhu immediately pointed at the other person and said, "You want to come up? Sure, just call me 'Uncle XX Army' and carry me up, and it'll be fine!"

Looking at the soldier comrade who was even younger than himself, and the 363-month-old baby: A real man has his pride!

The surrounding crowd burst into laughter, and the soldiers looked at He Yuzhu with gratitude. He was truly one of their own; although he was still a child, his reaction was incredibly quick.

However, the soldiers did not completely dampen the enthusiasm of the people. They allowed the reporter to take a group photo of the people and the tank from a distance, and that was the end of the matter.

He Yuzhu was standing at the entrance to the city of Dongjiaomin Lane, where the army marched into the city. When the army entered Dongjiaomin Lane in a grand procession, the gates of the so-called embassies were tightly closed, and they did not dare to show their heads.

A bunch of cowardly bullies!

……

He Yuzhu didn't leave Dongjiaomin Lane until evening. Although his face was stiff from the cold wind, he was still excited.

He wasn't the only one excited; the entire No. 95 compound was also thrilled.

When the army entered the city, they saw it too, and kept marveling at the might and strength of our army, saying it was far superior to the Kuomintang, the Japanese, and the Northern Warlords.

The most excited person was Jia Zhangshi. She suddenly realized that her family seemed to be getting better... All of this was thanks to He Yuzhu. If He Yuzhu hadn't taken her to No. 5 Middle School, she wouldn't have the treatment she has now.

However, the thought of being grateful to He Yuzhu flashed through Jia Zhangshi's mind.

So what if He Yuzhu helped me?

Once you've made something of yourself, you can help me back!

Jia Zhangshi believes that she no longer needs He Yuzhu's help, as she can do it herself.

He Yuzhu helped introduce me to the job at No. 5 Middle School, but I found the job of helping the cadres take over on my own!

Jia Zhangshi secretly made up her mind that she would do her best to help the cadres who were taking over the area this time.

Aren't they supposed to visit each household to understand the situation?

Are those outside officials who took over as familiar with me as I am?

Jia Zhangshi believed that as a long-time resident of the alley, helping the cadres take over was a piece of cake.

Hehehe... The more Jia Zhangshi thought about it, the happier she became, as if she had reached the pinnacle of her life.
