Chapter 16 The Song of the Bridal Room
In the early morning, while the student group was still resting in the mountains, the Anshi Gendarmerie received a telegram.
Feng County was placed under the jurisdiction of An City. Captain Kato received the attacked telegram and sent Chi Tian Chunping to check the situation.
Since receiving the order to arrest Wang Hong within a week, Chi Tian Chunping has sent many people to find the traces of Wang Hong and Zhao Jingzhi, but there has been no news.
After the Jiudaogou Police Station was attacked, many traces of people were left on the scene. When Chi Tianchunping saw it, his heart was cold. What he saw was that Wang Hong already had many accomplices and had guns in his hands. Without any clues, it was too difficult to catch someone with guns within a week.
At noon, Chi Tian rushed to Sifangtai, Fengxian. When he saw the only dead Japanese soldier's body, he felt completely cold when he saw that it was Wang Hong's sword technique again.
Chi Tian Chunping only knew that there were volunteers in Fengxian, but he didn't know the student group of Anshi. Therefore, he mistakenly thought that Wang Hong and his accomplices had joined the volunteers in Fengxian. From this perspective, when thinking about his mission to capture Wang Hong within that week, there were only two words: despair.
When he habitually judged the impact of the incident in front of him, he no longer thought about whether to arrest Wang Hong.
This kind of attack will lead to the Volunteer Army's success once, and there will be a second and third time. To prevent this from happening, the Japanese army must increase troops everywhere.
Today, more than 100 Japanese troops were transferred from the other side of the river. There are so many places in Ke'an City, Fengxian County, Kuan County, Dadonggou, and Jiuliancheng. In addition, the major transportation roads along the way of trains and highways, the more than 100 people are not enough to allocate everywhere, and they need to increase their troops. What should I do?
In the evening, Chi Tian Junpei rushed back to Anshi with his head scratching his head and reported to Captain Kato.
During the report, he also specifically showed Wang Hong in Feng County, with at least 20 people, carrying long and short weapons, and it was possible that he had joined the volunteer army in Feng County, and it was difficult to arrest within a week. He explained to Kato.
The lack of troops left Kato helpless. He thought for a long time and asked Chi Tian to reorganize local military and police, focusing on collecting intelligence and training plainclothes teams.
If the Japanese army does not use the Chinese, they will lose control of Anshi.
The plainclothes team was also proposed by Chi Tian Junhei and Kato. He felt that the Japanese soldiers were just good at fighting, with a small number of people, and had too big goals to walk among the Chinese, with poor language, and unfamiliar environment, and could not get information, and it was not convenient to pursue them. It would be better to find some plainclothes people, scattered among the Chinese, and it would be easy to detect the movements of the Chinese.
After receiving the support of Kato, he found the informant who had sold him information before. They or the people they recommended were backbones, and gathered thirty or forty people, including Chinese, Korean and Japanese, and was preparing to lurk among the people to explore the information. When the situation was urgent, these people could also directly arrest people.
However, the plainclothes team is not yet available. These people have not been trained before, do not know how to disguise, do not understand the method of probing, do not understand the value of intelligence, do not know how to track clues, and do not know how to capture them. They still have to train for a few days before they can be sent out.
Considering that Wang Hong had already run outside An City, Chi Tian Chunping called the Japanese soldiers guarding the Zhao family back to the military police team and asked the police from Badaogou Police Station to take over for two days to observe the Zhao family's movements at any time. When the plainclothes team was almost training, they handed over this matter to the plainclothes team.
He did not capture the Zhao family. It was simple to capture it, but it would have a bad influence among the merchants in An City, and would even lose the bait that hooked Wang Hong. Wang Hong has attracted the attention of the Army School. Compared with the Zhao family, it is natural to say which one is more important.
Then Chief Liu hoped to continue to lock the Zhao family at home. Chi Tianchunping was too lazy to explain to him, so he sent him directly to County Mayor Wang and asked him to follow the preparations for the Anshi Public Security Maintenance Association.
Establishing a public security and maintenance association is very important to the Japanese, and maintaining two major roles of the association: public security and economy.
The Japanese want to get supplies, but they don’t want to do cumbersome people’s livelihood management, so they can only leave both the economy and people’s livelihood to these Chinese people themselves to handle.
The public security in the occupied areas is even more troublesome. The shortage of troops is too large. The best way is to let the Chinese take care of the Chinese. But now, only a small part of the original army and police in Anshi have defected to the Japanese, and some have gone to be volunteers, and more military and police are still waiting and watching.
If you are a person, you have to eat. These locals have to support their families and don’t want to fight for the Japanese, and they have to rely on their maintenance to do their work. If you win over these people, the Japanese will not have to do it themselves in terms of public security, and they are concerned about such a large amount of troops and energy.
The next morning, Chi Tian Junping had just transferred a few Japanese soldiers away, and Wang Hong, who had just arrived home, got the news.
It turned out that Li Chen had already made arrangements. He asked his classmates who lived there to stare at the Japanese soldiers guarding Zhao's family. As soon as the Japanese soldiers retreated, he immediately received the letter.
Wang Hong and Zhao Jingzhi wanted to go to the Zhao family to take a look, but Li Chen was afraid that the Japanese would be playing tricks, so he asked the two to stay at home first, so he ran to test it first.
Li Chen pretended to be looking for a classmate and walked around this area for a long time. Seeing that no one was guarding the Zhao family at this time, he knocked on the door of the Zhao family.
The Zhao family was cleaning up the garbage left by the Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers ate and stayed here for a few days, and the property they had left on the surface had long disappeared. Either the Japanese soldiers took it away or Liu Baochang ran away.
When he saw Zhao's father, Li Chen told him about the renting of Wang Hong and Zhao Jingzhi outside, and said that they hoped to hold a wedding and invited the Zhao family to attend.
Zhao's father thought to himself that this daughter and son-in-law were good, and he knew that he would hold a wedding. Although he agreed to marry Wang Hong, who would not want to make do with the sloppy team, was he afraid that the Japanese would change any more, so he discussed with Zhao Jingzhi's grandmother and mother and decided to hold the wedding tonight, and the Zhao family would all go there.
Time was too tight, so I didn’t dare to do a big fuss or invite outsiders to participate. Whether it was the Zhao family, Wang Hong, there was no preparation in advance. Li Chen and the Zhao family made an appointment to pick them up, so they took two new quilts back to reply to Wang Hong.
In the afternoon, Li Chen learned that the traitor police in Badaogou would go to Zhao's house from time to time. He was shocked. He quickly arranged some people to do some small things in Badaogou, attracting these traitor policemen over.
Before dinner, with the help of Li Chen and many students from the student group, the Zhao family finally arrived at Wang Hong's small house.
Before the wedding was held, the women hugged their heads and started crying.
Zhao Jingzhi hugged her grandmother and said to her mother, "I want to go home." Then she started crying, and her grandmother was also full of tears: "Good daughter has lost weight." Her mother cried and regretted: "I just want to marry, but I haven't done any wedding dress yet."
The two brothers of Zhao's father and Zhao Jingzhi calmed down a little and looked at Wang Hong.
Seeing Wang Hong's tall figure and a student dress, his eyes were extremely energetic.
Although Wang Hong was ready to see his father-in-law, he didn't know what to say until now. He came over and bowed honestly to Zhao's father: "Father-in-law, I am Wang Hong."
Li Chen stood by the side. After hearing this, he couldn't help but turn his head over and laugh. There are a few son-in-law in this world who have never seen his father-in-law yet? But he also envied Wang Hong. Heroes are real heroes, and beauties are also real beauties, and they are born to be a couple.
Zhao's father was helpless, and he didn't even have any three books and six rites, and his daughter got married.
The traditional three books and six rituals are: one is the one who has the right to decide the marriage, and then find a matchmaker to run errands on both sides; the second is to ask the name to see if the two characters are incompatible; the third is to hold an engagement ceremony, and only then can a marriage letter, that is, a marriage letter; the fourth is to enroll, the groom's family will send a betrothal gift, and the betrothal gift must be placed on it; the fifth is to invite the date, and the two families will agree on the time for marriage; the sixth is to welcome the bride, and the bride must have a welcome letter when going out, so that she can go to her husband's house in a sedan chair.
The wedding that Wang Hong and Zhao Jingzhi are now held is called the Chapel in the traditional wedding custom, which is after the Three Books and Six Rites.
Father Zhao sighed and said to Wang Hong's son-in-law, "This marriage is a match made by heaven, but it came too suddenly. We still regarded it as a child, but we didn't expect that she would get married so soon. She didn't understand what she was living at home. Wang Hong, you have to tolerate her in the future."
Wang Hong listened and sighed in his heart: I am also a child in my family! But he responded voluntarily.
Zhao's father asked about the situation at Wang Hong's family, and asked him to tell the situation here to his family and ask him to say hello to his in-laws on his behalf.
When Zhao Jingzhi's two brothers saw that their father finished speaking, they pulled Wang Hong and said a few more words. They were all very curious about Wang Hong's martial arts.
Zhao's father was a little annoyed when he heard it. He stopped his two sons and started teaching Wang Hong: "Well, Wang Hong, take care of his family after marriage and go out less in the future. Killing the Japanese is to relieve his anger, but you have to pay attention to safety. You have a small family, not alone."
Zhao Jingzhi accompanied her grandmother and mother, and the two elders looked at Wang Hong in a tangled manner, but they didn't teach him a lesson. The son-in-law had bumped into him, so he would be satisfied. They talked a few words, just to ask Wang Hong to take care of him and give in to him more.
Wang Hong quickly called grandma and mother, and they all responded, wishing to take out his heart to prove that he liked Zhao Jingzhi.
Until Li Chen shouted that the auspicious time was coming, under the witness of the elders of the student group, a new couple knelt down to worship the elders of the Zhao family, which was officially married.
Several classmates knew that the small house was not open and there was not enough room for seating. When they came here, they bought cooked food, fruits and snacks as gifts.
As soon as the simple ceremony was completed, everyone ate some casually in the house and said goodbye to anyone who had something to do. Li Chen and Dong Zhenghai stayed to talk to the Zhao family.
But grandma and mother immediately pulled Zhao Jingzhi and hid aside and whispered. Wang Hong glanced at him and saw that they were reading something for Zhao Jingzhi and explaining something.
It was not until it got completely dark that Li Chen and Dong Zhenghai escorted the Zhao family home, and then left the new house to the couple.
The two of them cleaned up the ground and laid new quilts.
When the two of them got on the kang, Zhao Jingyi became at a loss. Seeing Wang Hong leaning over, he quickly handed over a booklet, turned his face to the side and said, "If there is a book, you have to read it first. I'll sing a song for you, okay?"
Wang Hong looked at her pink neck and took the book. Before he could open it, he heard a gentle singing voice coming from his ears, soft and glutinous, but with the girl's shyness and wish.
Forever, the flowers are full of the moon.
...
Maybe it was a wedding song from Jiangnan? Wang Hong only understood the first two sentences, and then heard Wu Yu murmur, but his love was deep.
As he sang, he opened the booklet in his hand.
With one fold and one picture, he was stunned. It turned out that this was an ancient bridal chamber education album.
The singing stopped...
The singing starts again...
...
That morning, there was also a wedding thousands of miles away.
"Xiaoyun, you can do whatever your husband calls you. Keep your duties well and bear it. You have to endure it until your man comes back."
"Mom, you have said it many times. I married first to take care of the elderly. At most, it is a trivial matter. How can I bear anything?"
"If your man is studying outside, if you bring a woman back, you have to rely on your in-laws' family to support you. You have to get along well, don't throw a tantrum."
"The letter has been sent long ago. Now he is fighting outside the customs. I don't know if he has received it. Anyway, he just searched for it outside. I got married but the Ming media married, and today I will write it on the genealogy. No matter how he doesn't bring a woman, and he can't get along with the old Wang family. At most, he doesn't like me and can't give up."
"Our family didn't need to do this, alas, it's really aggrieved my daughter."
"Mom, I am willing to marry myself, otherwise I won't do much bride price."
...
