Old Movies of the Republic of China II

War is a litmus test.

Especially in wars where the strength of the two sides is very different.

Although there are aircraft and cannons in the Northeast, there are arsenals and 50 troops, but this is not a war of one city and one pool, but a war of the entire country.

A country that is poor, weak, backward and divided, and a country with advanced technology and a developed economy.

The Northeast soldiers are indeed brave, but death is more deterrent. People often show weakness in the face of death. The desire to live can overwhelm everything. Dignity and backbone become things that can be discarded when facing life and death.

Feng Jun's victory news came one after another on the battlefield, Zhang Yishan was as stable as Mount Tai in the rear, and the hearts of the people would not be too distracted, but the traitor had already appeared.

Zhang Yishan was not angry about this, he knew better than anyone else the strength and courage and cowardice of people.If all hope is placed on the spontaneity and self-awareness of human beings, how could he become the Marshal Zhang today.

Since the beginning of Total War, the gatherings of the Pedofi Club have become very frequent, especially after a war is over, members are happy to get together to discuss gains and losses.The vast majority of them are not good at commanding wars, let alone going to battle. The members are proud of their intelligence, not their brute force.

What they like to talk about is Zhang Yishan's speech, the performance of the army led by Zhang Zheng, and the unusual behavior of the people in Fengtian City.

At this time, they didn't care much about Qinghe, even if they criticized Zhang Yishan for his military arrogance or Zhang Zheng's poor use of troops in front of him, they didn't take it seriously.Zhang Ziran was known for his good temper, and besides, the members of Pei Duofei's club were aloof, almost equivalent to one of the hundred contending families in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, even Zhang Yishan couldn't easily attack them.

Qing He always listened quietly.

His quietness made the members think that he didn't care, or didn't care much, so his speech became more and more unscrupulous.

Of course, it is impossible for Qing He not to care, but this is not a problem that he can solve by caring. Rather than shutting others down, it is better to find out his own faults and deficiencies from their criticisms.

These people, after all, are not idlers in street teahouses who don’t know anything about war and just talk about grandstanding to please the public, but a group of elites.They either have excellent academic qualifications, or have made dazzling achievements in their own industries. The territory of the Northeast needs to be guarded by soldiers, but in terms of development, they are the backbone.

Min Zijing sat next to him with a blank face. In the distance, a young man in a white suit was talking loudly. He talked about the war that happened not long ago with a slight sarcasm.

Min Zijing is not a person full of emotions, but what Bai Suit said caused bursts of laughter from everyone. Considering the relationship between Zhang Ziran and Zhang Zheng, he couldn't figure out why he acted so calmly, "Aren't you angry?"

Qing He lowered her eyes and shook her head, "They can have their own opinions."

The white suit was talking about Zhang Zheng's killing of the prisoners.

Min Zijing said: "You also think Zhang Zheng's methods are too cruel?"

Qinghe looked at him: "Cruel? Zijing, how can you repay your kindness with virtue?"

Min Zijing's lips curled up, and he said for a while, "Zhang Zheng could have shot them, but beheading them... would be too cruel. I know that the Japanese slaughtered the city with all kinds of dehumanizing actions, but that doesn't mean we can be like them."

He is not usually a person who likes to soften his heart and compromise. Compared with ordinary people, he is even a little less sympathetic, but he was shocked to behead three thousand prisoners—even if they were Japanese soldiers. fear.

Qing He said: "Zhang Zheng is different from them. What they kill are unarmed civilians, they rape and plunder everywhere, and Zhang Zheng is on the battlefield."

The two didn't have a deep talk on this topic, so they wisely stopped in time.

Qinghe's heart was not as calm as it appeared.

Liu Yao and Feng Yafang came here hand in hand. Feng Yafang has always been lively and outgoing, but today he looks a bit haggard.After sitting down, Liu Yao hugged her shoulders, whispered a few words of persuasion, and then she forced a smile at Qing He and said, "Zi Ran, long time no see."

She and Liu Yao were married, and their life after marriage was not satisfactory, not because of Liu Yao, but because of Liu Yao's mother.

Even though she was born as a young lady, she still looks weak in front of an aggressive and neurotic mother-in-law.It is impossible for Liu Yao to protect her at home all the time, and she is unwilling to show too many negative emotions in front of Liu Yao, let alone tell her mother to make her parents worry. In just one year, she has grown from a naive and lively girl Son turned into a depressed woman.

Qinghe once asked her out for coffee, but Feng Yafang found an excuse to shirk.From other people's mouth, Qinghe knew what kind of woman Liu Qingshan's wife is, no wonder they have been business partners for so long and Liu Qingshan has never brought her to appear on any occasion.

Qing He couldn't help but look at Liu Yao, Liu Yao turned his face away, looking a little embarrassed.

"Long time no see, what has Mrs. Liu been up to lately?" Qing He relaxed her tone.

"Mrs. Liu" was finally amused and said: "Learn the three obediences and the four virtues."

Liu Yao rubbed his nose, "Talk, I happen to have something to talk to someone else."

He got up to leave, Min Zijing sneered and said, "I said that he is not suitable to be a husband. How can an adult in his 20s listen to his mother in everything, how can he be a good husband."

Before meeting Qinghe, Feng Yafang was his only friend. Seeing her unsatisfactory life, Min Zijing was very angry.

Feng Yafang sighed pretending to be relaxed: "Who made it so that there are no literati in this huge Fengtian City to criticize this phenomenon well, mother-in-law is bigger than the sky."

The military in Northeast China can be said to be the best in the country, and the development of heavy industry and railways is equally dazzling, but the development of folk customs and culture is far behind the capital, Shanghai and other places.

This phenomenon is not normal.

Both Min Zijing and Qinghe were silent. Although one was born in Liyuan and the other was an illegitimate child, they were still men after all.Seeing female students around them, they feel that their lives are the same as those of male students, they can freely pursue their ideals and choose their own path in life, but the reality shows them a mocking smile.

Even a girl like Feng Yafang who comes from an extraordinary background and is bright and cheerful is still at a disadvantage in her married life. Under the pressure of her husband and mother, she can't even go out for a coffee with friends.

And this is far from a matter that can be solved in one article.

Qing He held her hand silently.

Feng Yafang's eyes were red, and she leaned on Qinghe's shoulder sobbing, she covered her face, not wanting others to see her out-of-control expression, Qinghe hugged her shoulder sadly, like her blood brother.

Min Zijing cursed.

Liu Yao turned his head frequently in the distance, he realized what happened, but it was obviously not a good idea to go in the past at this time, Feng Yafang needed to vent her emotions, and with him around, she would only surprise herself.

Feng Yafang tried her best to suppress her crying, hoping that in the eyes of others, she was just tired and rested on her friend.But even when she was crying, she couldn't help but think of that woman. If she saw this scene, she might only accuse her of being promiscuous and unruly.

Her shoulders kept twitching.

Qing He could only pat her on the back lightly.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Hou Yuzhi.If Sister Yuzhi was still there, she would definitely give Feng Yafang the most suitable advice. Her ability to control people's hearts is really admirable. Even the meanest people will like her and appreciate her.

Feng Yafang finally stopped her tears, took the handkerchief and wiped her face and said embarrassingly, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

Qinghe said worriedly: "It can't go on like this, otherwise, I will go back and ask my wife to invite you to stay in the commander's mansion for a while, just to accompany her."

Feng Yafang's eyes lit up, and he hesitated, "Is this going to bother you too much? Besides, outsiders are definitely not welcome in the Shuaifu at this time."

Qinghe looked at this once carefree girl, shook her head and said: "Of course not, Madam has always liked you very much, and she also asked you to go to the house to play more, remember?"

When Qing He mentioned this matter to Su Xi, she really agreed.

Feng Yafang's matter was settled, and Qing He was also relieved.

As for Zhang Zheng's killing of the captives, he asked Zhang Zheng when he came back for the operation, but Zhang Zheng just said lightly that they deserved to be killed.Qinghe was very afraid at that time, what he was afraid of was not the fact that Zhang Zheng killed three thousand Japanese soldiers by beheading him, but what he was afraid of was that Zhang Zheng would become addicted to war after getting too much blood on his hands.

In the past, suppressing bandits and fighting other warlords would certainly kill people, but Zhang Zheng's hatred for the Japanese was deep-rooted, and Qinghe knew very well when he came to him that he would not be merciful if he had the opportunity.

And now his chance has come.

However, no matter how powerful Zhang Yishan's speech was, it could not obliterate Zhang Zheng's too iron-blooded skills on the battlefield.

Nowadays, most people are still trapped in the hatred of the Japanese army, but people like the members of the Pei Duofei club have gradually become sober. Listening to them, they can clearly see Zhang Zheng's cruelty, cruelty, and viciousness. In the troubled times, he is invincible on the battlefield. , but wait until the end of the war?

And more and more people will see this.

Qinghe is absolutely unwilling to see Zhang Zheng being forced by public opinion to give up what originally belonged to him.

That's why he valued Min Zijing so much, and why he wanted to completely control a newspaper office.

What disturbed him as much as the killing of prisoners was that someone saw Wang Xinyi in Fengtian.

Liu Meng vowed: "I am wrong and no one can be wrong about Wang Shao... He! Ziran, I believe brother's eyes are absolutely right. He is accompanied by two people, unlike bodyguards, who seem to treat him badly." No matter how polite you are, someone even shoved him. Hey, speaking of him, he was also the number one figure in Fengtian back then, but now he is a tiger in Pingyang."

He said again: "But how dare he come back? My dad is okay. He has business to do and no time to think about Liu Zhen. His mother is different. Anyone who looks for him is crazy."

"I don't know why he came back, but it must be nothing good."

Liu Meng waved his hand: "Zi Ran, I know he has a good relationship with the eldest son. My dad is almost sixty years old, and he can live for another 20 years at most. When the time comes, the one surnamed Wang will come back if he wants to."

He is really open-minded.

He also has to thank Wang Xinyi, Liu Zhen bullied him a lot when he was a child.

Qinghe thought over and over again, but still didn't write this matter in the letter to Zhang Zheng, and didn't tell Zhang Yishan either.He handed over this matter to Wang Xianben. After several years of management, Wang Xianben's roots in Fengtian have been deeply rooted.

After searching for a few days, there is still no audio.

Qinghe took this matter very seriously, he knew very well that something big would happen to Wang Xinyi when he returned to Fengtian, and the two people Liu Meng said were probably Japanese by his side.

The impact of Wang Xinyi's incident on Zhang Zheng is definitely not small, one is his feelings for him, and the other is Zhang Jinxin.

Ever since Wang Xinyi left for another country, Zhang Jinxin and Zhang Zheng seemed a little strange. Zhang Jinxin never said a word of Zhang Zheng was wrong, but he always avoided Zhang Zheng intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhang Zheng never mentioned it, but Qinghe knew that he must have been hurt by these two brothers.

But what could happen?
