Chapter 547 546 [An Underground Party Again]

Hate not to fight against the Japanese to die, and leave it as a shame today.

Zhou Hexuan carefully looked at Ji Hongchang in front of him. The general was wearing casual clothes and a pair of black round glasses. It may be the reason for the hard work of fighting in the past few months. She doesn't look as fat as in the photo, and her slender eyes are piercing.

"Mr. Zhou, I have admired you for a long time!" Ji Hongchang clasped his fists and said.

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said, "General Ji, hello!"

Ji Hongchang took out the third issue of "Fei Gong" magazine, put it on the table and said: "Mr. Zhou's publication is very good. When I was fighting in the front line, I often found time to read it."

"I'm a scholar. I can't kill the enemy and serve the country like General Ji. I can only write articles and shout a few times. Ashamed!" Zhou Hexuan said in shame.

Ji Hongchang suddenly asked: "Mr. Zhou is a Communist Party?"

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "I haven't joined any party yet."

"That's a pity, why not join the party with me." Ji Hongchang urged.

"Hasn't General Ji already joined the Communist Party?" Zhou Hexuan asked in surprise.

Ji Hongchang smiled and waved his hands: "At that time, I was so angry that I declared that I belonged to the Communist Party. As a result, the Central Army attacked even more crazily."

"I see." Zhou Hexuan finally understood.

Later generations have different opinions on Ji Hongchang's identity. Some data show that Ji Hongchang joined the Communist Party in 1932. However, according to party history data, Ji Hongchang was introduced to the party by Xuan Xiafu in March 1934, and the two also secretly formed an anti-Japanese armed force in Tianjin.

Just as Ji Hongchang said, he declared himself a Communist because he was fighting on the front line, but He Yingqin led 16 divisions to stab him in the back. This approach was obviously impulsive, which caused the Central Army to attack more violently.

Ji Hongchang was probably mad at the time, so he simply stopped attacking the Japanese and returned to attack He Yingqin's heavily guarded Beiping.

Just some time ago, Ji Hongchang was defeated and captured, and was escorted back to Peiping by He Yingqin to be locked up. On the way to escort, Ji Hongchang successfully persuaded the soldiers guarding him with the principle of resisting Japan and saving the country. Feeling the righteousness of the country, the soldier closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep at night, and Ji Hongchang escaped quietly.

That is to say, Ji Hongchang is now a fugitive, and he came to Tianjin secretly.

After knowing the situation, Zhou Hexuan immediately said: "General Ji, it is very dangerous for you to live in the hotel, why not stay here with me."

"No need," Ji Hongchang waved his hand, "I don't want to trouble you."

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "Haha, General Ji, you don't have to worry. I can't do other things, but it's okay to protect someone. Even if Lao Jiang found out, he wouldn't dare to send someone to arrest me."

Ji Hongchang frowned and thought for a while, then clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Gao Yi, Hongchang will disturb you!"

"You're welcome, it's all for the country." Zhou Hexuan said.

Ji Hongchang asked: "Mr. Zhou, is your "Fei Gong" magazine still short of staff? I can recommend a talent for you."

Zhou Hexuan asked, "Who is it?"

Ji Hongchang smiled and said: "Wang Jianqiu, a gentleman who studied in Japan. He is very familiar with the situation in Japan and can help you edit relevant articles."

Who is Wang Jianqiu?

Zhou Hexuan thought about it for a long time, but he still had no impression. If this person can get the praise of Ji Hongchang, he is probably an underground party using a pseudonym.

Zhou Hexuan pretended not to know about this, and agreed straight away: "Yes, the editorial department is just short of people."

"Thank you, thank you," Ji Hongchang said happily, "Mr. Zhou, to be honest, I came to Tianjin this time to secretly organize anti-Japanese armed forces. Are you interested in joining?"

Zhou Hexuan shook his head and said, "I won't join any organization, but I can provide 5,000 bottles of sulfa for free."

"Is that the British magic antibacterial drug?" Ji Hongchang was overjoyed.

Zhou Hexuan sighed and said, "To be honest, General Ji, I'm not optimistic about your actions."

Ji Hongchang asked: "Mr. Zhou has any special insights?"

Zhou Hexuan asked: "If you form an anti-Japanese armed force, where will you plan to carry out military operations?"

"Chahar," Ji Hongchang said, "the situation in Chahar is relatively chaotic, and the Japanese army and the Central Army in many places can't take care of it, which is just convenient for the development of the anti-Japanese armed forces."

Zhou Hexuan shook his head and said: "The place where the Fourth World War in Chahar, once the anti-Japanese armed forces are formed there, it is easy to be attacked by the Central Army and the Japanese army. After all, General Ji has publicly declared that he is a Communist Party, and the Nanjing side will definitely spare no effort to eliminate you. force."

Ji Hongchang asked: "Where does Mr. Zhou think is suitable?"

"Nowhere is suitable, and the time is not yet ripe." Zhou Hexuan said.

Ji Hongchang said angrily: "When will the time be ripe? The Japanese invaders have already occupied Rehe, and Lao Jiang has also designated a large area of ​​military passage for the Japanese invaders. Once the Japanese invaders have digested the Northeast, they can attack Pingjin at any time. The whole of North China is exposed to the iron heels of the Japanese invaders. This is the critical moment of the War of Resistance, and we cannot retreat even a single step!"

"Since General Ji insists on this, then I will stop persuading him." Zhou Hexuan said helplessly.

People like Ji Hongchang, just like Yang Xingfo, cannot be persuaded, even if they know their lives are in danger, they will not be afraid.

Twelve years ago, when Ji Hongchang went back to his hometown to visit relatives, he found that the poor children in his hometown had difficulties in going to school. He immediately took out all his savings, used a dilapidated temple as a school building, founded "Lubei Primary School", and made a rule: all children from poor families will go to school for free.

Ji Hongchang also wrote a poem two years ago, which reads as follows: Drink Meiling's blood if you are thirsty, and eat stones when you are hungry. On the day of returning to report my fate, I will restore my divine state.

Ji Hongchang hated Chang Kaishen to the bottom of his heart, and he is also a person who serves the country selflessly. Ji Hongchang would definitely not be able to do such a thing as asking him to honestly work in an apartment for a few years and wait for the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance before going out of the mountain.

Zhou Hexuan smiled helplessly: "How about this, I will personally donate 50,000 oceans, which will be used for General Ji's future military expenses for the War of Resistance."

"Hahaha," Ji Hongchang happily shook Zhou Hexuan's hand, "Mr. Zhou, you are truly patriotic!"

Ji Hongchang just stayed at Zhou Hexuan's house, and went out early and late every day to contact everywhere, and together with the underground party Xuan Xiafu, he planned to form the "Chinese People's Anti-Fascist League".

As for Wang Jianqiu, who was recommended by Ji Hongchang to be the editor of "Fei Gong" magazine, his real name is Nan Hanchen, and he used to work under General Yang Hucheng as the secretary-general of the Shaanxi Provincial Government. This person mainly did two things in Shaanxi, rescued and released a large number of Communist Party members including Liu Zhidan, and at the same time made Shaanxi's internal affairs in order.

After the Central Plains War, Shaanxi's economy was in decline, and the people were in dire straits. Nan Hanchen assisted Yang Hucheng to vigorously develop the people's livelihood economy, and within two years, the fiscal revenue soared, which was completely enough to support Yang Hucheng's 50,000 Northwest Army.

It's a pity that such a person who is capable of writing and martial arts (the training of officers is very good), because of his status as a Communist Party, has now become a wanted criminal.

After Nan Hanchen joined the editorial department, he kept the magazine in order. At the same time, he used this platform to contact high-level officials of the Northwest Army who lived in Tianjin.

Zhou Hexuan turned a blind eye to this, even if Nan Hanchen's identity was exposed, he could still pretend to be ignorant.
