The Rise of Manjianghong

Chapter 87 Mi's father and son

This is a Mercedes-Benz express train on the Harbin Railway. It consists of 32 carriages. Relying on the towing of the "Flying Dragon 4" steam locomotive, it can reach a speed of 80 kilometers per hour. This kind of express train is often a long-distance train. Before the war, the steam front of the train that Russia joined the international passenger transport often used this kind of heavy front made in China.

As soon as the train left Changchun Station, the "blue steel carriage" of the international intermodal transport was driving at high speed on the snow-covered land in the northeast. The white earth and the blue train were driving, and the white smoke from the front of the train formed a beautiful scenery.

Along the way, the train stops at several stations in turn, and the next stop is Siping. It is a large station. The train needs to stop there for a long time to make way for the train transporting "military supplies". In fact, the so-called "military supplies" are basically export supplies. Of course, most of those export materials are military. Supplies are needed, but they are not necessarily the military supplies of the Guards.

In the scorching dust fog that is as white as lime by the sun, the vast fields, grasslands, cities and villages unique to the northeast pass by quickly. On both sides of the railway, there are high-voltage towers, and near the city, the towering chimneys are enough to shock every newcomer.

"You have Pittsburgh and Ruhr, and we have three northeastern provinces!"

In the three northeastern provinces, in China's industrial construction, perhaps the three northeastern provinces are not the origin of industry, but the best embodiment of the country's industrial development. To a certain extent, there is no place in China that is more suitable for the development of modern heavy industry than in Northeast China. There are sparse people and rich resources, in large coal mines in Northeast China, Iron ore, more importantly, whether it is the coal mine in Minfu Mountain, Fushun, or the iron mine in Dagu Mountain, is a large open-pit mine, and there is Dalian Port in the south of the northeast. In the north, it enjoys the right to use the port of Vladivostok in China. In the middle, it relies on the Tumen River and Luojin Port, which makes the central part of the northeast enjoy access to the sea.

The benefits of transportation and the abundance of natural resources have made China's industrial construction center, that is, the northeast as the center, from the first year of the empire, with large factories standing in the northeast. In the ten years of the empire, the northeast supplied 40% of China's steel, 15% coal, 10% copper and 55% water. Electricity may not be a granary here, but for China, it is China's most important industrial base.

After the outbreak of the war in Europe, there was an endless stream of freight trains on the railway every day. The freight trains were transported to Russia through the Middle East Railway. The speeding trains were full of all kinds of military and civilian materials, which were imported into the Russian Empire to exchange a large number of gold and silver coins for China.

Every time a big station, the train will always make way for the "military train", and wait for half an hour, or even longer. When the train enters the station and waits, the passengers rush to the grocery store. The westward sun shines on their hurried footsteps from behind the woods in the station garden, illuminating the under the carriage. Wheels.

At this time, on the train, a young man in student clothes walked around in the carriage. The young man seemed very polite. Every time he wanted to squeeze through the crowded passengers in the carriage, he would always say "give me", "sorry", "sorry" and so on. On the train near the end of the year, there were too many people. Return to hometown.

In the past years, a large number of rural people have poured into the city. Although they will eventually settle in the city, they will initially have an experience of returning home before the Spring Festival. At the beginning of the influx of rural people into the city, they are often alone. They come to the city. It is to seek a better life. They will enter the factory or start a small business on the street. When they have a certain amount of savings, they often choose to buy a house in the city, and then take their parents, wives and children to the city. In this way, they will return to a normal life.

Although they returned home every year in the first few years, a few years later, when they fully integrated into the city and the city gave them the feeling of home, they rarely returned to their hometown. Now these returnees want to return to their homes and experience the warmth of home.

After the young man in student uniform entered the second-class bedroom carriage from the ordinary carriage, he passed through the carriage in the rear. It was missing and crowded. The young man took out a book from his hand. There was a note in the book and a photo. When the young man passed by the carriage, he accidentally saw a When the young boy stood up, he seemed to see the photo in his book. While the young man was stunned, he smiled at the boy.

Mi Liangcheng, sitting in the carriage, saw the college student smiling at him, but still turned his head away. He came from Harbin. He was a second-year student of the National Middle School and his father, Mick, a lawyer, got on the train together. This is an eleven-year-old boy with a pair of big eyes on his contemplative face, with a look in his eyes that only young people have. His father is going to work in a lawyer's office in Tianjin, and the child naturally goes to Tianjin to study in middle school. His mother and sisters have arrived first and are busy decorating their new house.

The boy and his father have been on the train for more than two days.

At this time, for Mi Liangcheng, it is a sad and painful thing to leave the familiar Harbin. Since he got on the train, melancholy has always influenced him. For a teenager of his age, fifteen or sixteen years old, this age is the time when he deepens his relationship with his friends, and at this time, he But he left.

"After arriving in Tianjin, you can write to them!"

Mikji enlightens his new and old son so much, but of course he knows that in fact, it doesn't make any sense. For his son, what he needs is actually those friends and classmates who have been familiar with him, but at this point, he can't satisfy him.

As a descendant of Han J, for many years, for Mick, the thing he has most desired is to be able to return to the big city.

Eleven years ago, he was exiled to Mohe. Later, after hard work, he obtained a lawyer's qualification certificate and became a lawyer. After several efforts, he brought his family to Harbin. After living in Harbin for six years, he finally got what he wanted - a letter of appointment issued to him by a Tianjin law firm, which means that he finally You can return to the capital that has been away for ten years, at least very close to the capital. Although the city has long been renamed "Beiping", in any case, it is his memory.

And now, for the sake of his childhood memory, it is fair to let his son give up his childhood memory. Is it fair?

Contemplation, Mick looked out of the window speechless for a while. He knew that he was selfish, but he could only miss that place because of this.

"I won't be so selfish when I have a son!"

In Mi Liangcheng's thoughts, he obviously blamed everything on his "father's yearning for Peiping". Although Mi Liangcheng was also born in Peiping, for him, he has no memory of that city. His understanding of that city is only limited to the Palace Museum, which belongs to the royal family but is by the royal family. The world's largest museum generously donated is also limited to this. As for Tianjin, he has no impression, but now he is going to Tianjin, and he will live there in the future. Thinking of his friends and classmates in Harbin, and even the girl with sheep's horn braids in his neighbor's house, Mi Liangcheng is even more I feel a burst of uncontrollable trouble.

At this time, you can faintly smell the smell of someone who wants to wash the toilet with toilet water, as well as the smell of roasted chicken wrapped in greasy dirty paper. There are also several women who are grayed by the soot of the locomotive, and they are talking in a low squeaky voice. Mi Liangcheng felt that they were complaining about something in a hoarse voice. Judging from the way they opened their mouths, they were obviously dissatisfied with the soot in the carriage.

At this moment, suddenly, a crisp gunshot interrupted Mi Liangcheng's thoughts. At first, when the gunfire came, the sound sounded like the sound of firecrackers. After a while, he realized that it was the sound of gunfire.

"One person in the first-class carriage was killed!"

After a while, someone finally came the news. As soon as he heard that someone had been shot, while he was afraid, Mi Liangcheng's heart was full of curiosity. He said to his father.

"Dad, I'll go to the bathroom!"

But then, he went to the overhead carriage. He saw some people crowded in the aisle of the carriage. When he finally squeezed over, he saw the body of a murdered person lying on the carpet of the luxury carriage. Blood clearly crossed the deceased's forehead and eyes, and the red blood flowed down the wound on his forehead to the carpet and was absorbed by the carpet.

"This person..."

At this time, Mi Liangcheng vaguely felt the dead body lying on the carpet. He seemed to have seen it, as if... Yes, it was the person in the photo of the college student's book!

At this time, curious and compassionate people stood outside the carriage, but a middle-aged man next to the body, but he stood there with a serious frown and looked at the dead. He stood there, like wood, and even the flight attendant was not allowed to enter.

No matter what he asked, he didn't even turn around and replied:

"Wait for the police to come."

At this time, Mi Liangcheng saw several policemen coming with a police officer.

"Hello, I'm a policeman on this site. Who is the deceased?"

When the police began to protect the scene, Mi Liangcheng saw the police officer questioning the man who had been guarding him.

"Deputy Governor of Jilin Province."

The man only let the people around him take a breath of cold air. There is only one deputy governor in a province, which means that the second official of Jilin Province is dead. The police officer's face changed. He immediately said something to a policeman. Although his voice was not loud, Mi Liangcheng still heard words such as "investigation bureau". Obviously, these local policemen were going to hand over the case to the investigation bureau.

"Are you?"

"His advisor!"

The man's answer was still calm.

"Do you see the murderer?"

"After hearing the gunshot, I ran over. At that time, he was the only one in the carriage!"

At this time, the passengers who were watching the bustle in the carriage turned out to be the vice governor of Jilin Province when they saw the deceased, and they were willing to watch the bustle here. They left the car one after another and looked at the body when they left. However, at this time, it was not so easy for them to leave. Those policemen needed to ask every eyewitness. Person.

And Mi Liangcheng was stunned by the murder in front of him.

"What's your name..."

Just as the police questioned Mi Liangcheng, through the glass window, Mi Liangcheng saw the college student three or four years older than him on the platform. When he saw the man, he was stunned at first. When he was about to tell the police his discovery, he saw the college student on the platform and was by a police. The inspector stopped. While the police shouted at him, he suddenly took something out of his arms and then turned to the policeman behind him.

The sound of gunfire!

The gunshot sounded again, and the man shot at the police with a gun.

"The murderer is there!"

Mi Liangcheng pointed to the outside of the carriage and shouted loudly. Obviously, everyone heard the gunfire. When he bent down and lay under the window in horror, he saw the police officer holding a pistol and first shot at the glass window, and then kept pulling the trigger at the man who was shooting.

When the gunfire stopped, the police officer first kicked the broken glass by the window with his calves in boots, and then jumped out. At this time, the nervous shouters calmed down, and Mi Liangcheng also stood up after the initial panic. He saw the police officer walking in front of the injured man, in the When the man still wanted to raise his hand, he shot him in the shoulder again. The gray platform under the man had been dyed red.

At this moment, Mi Liangcheng heard a shout.

"Down with the reader, the emperor abdication, the end [***]..."

Listening to the shout, it was obvious that although the man was injured, he was in a state of emotional excitement.

A few hours later, while waiting to record a confession, Mick had looked at his son. His son's lies made him very angry, but he witnessed the shooting, which made him afraid.

"That person is a student of Jilin University!"

Speaking of this, Mick suddenly remembered something else, and his face turned pale with panic.

"It's a republican radical!"

Mick, who was pale, said again. He looked at his unexplained love for his son and thought of the young man who was shot and injured by the police. He looked at his son and couldn't help thinking that in another four years, his son would go to college. If he was influenced by the thought of the republican faction, then... in the republican radicals The people are not necessarily true republicans. In this regard, because of contact with such cases, Mick has a deep understanding. Many of them, like him, have been exiled. Many of them are not responsible for their own crimes, but for the "crimes" of their ancestors. They are exiled. They are discriminated against, but those people are generally well educated, which allows them to get into college and leave the place of exile.

In college, the politics they came into contact with were either royalists or republican. As "political victims", they naturally could not be inclined to the emperor. Naturally, they chose the republican "equal and free society without the emperor [***]". In addition, it is easy to be influenced by the radicals.

As revenge against society, they assassinated officials, robbed banks, and fought for the so-called "re republic", but their behavior was like an arm as a car, which was easily suppressed by a powerful state machine. Their behavior seemed so naive. Can assassination change everything?

For a long time in the next long time, Mick had kept instilling the history of the emperor's saving the nation to his son, while complaining that nothing in the world was perfect. When it came to exile, he was there to excuse the emperor, saying that compared with the past changes, the emperor was right and wrong. Always be kind, because only a few people are executed, and most people only pay for their actions.

At this time, in Mi Liangcheng's mind, it was the young man. When he shouted those words after being injured by the police, some college students around him shouted that they accused the police as "the lackey of the tyrant".

"Dad, why do they want to kill people?"

Mi Liangcheng thought of the killed deputy governor. In his impression, the deputy governor of Heilongjiang Province was very close to people. At the school sports meeting, he also gave himself a prize. The same is true for the dead deputy governor. But why did those people kill him?

"Yes..."

Is it for their "revolution"? Or is it to vent dissatisfaction with society?

My son's problem has puzzled Mick.

Suddenly, everything around him shook. Three people in black windbreakers and hats with national flag sleeves came in. When they walked in, Mi Liangcheng's attention immediately fell on them. Are they the legendary agents of the Investigation Bureau?

"I'm very sorry, because of the murder of No. 3, it needs to delay everyone's time. I hope you can understand!"

Everything next was very simple. The agents asked a few questions and made a record. While they were making the record, several agents and two policemen lifted the body wrapped in white cloth off the train from the carriage, which seemed to have some blood stains.

At this time, I don't know which woman burst into tears.

"Gan Governor Fang is a good man!"

At this time, looking around, Mi Liangcheng saw that there were a few passengers around with sadness on their faces, and even some anger. After the agents left the carriage, the train sounded the whistle and the train started again.

At this time, in Mi Liangcheng's mind, he was thinking about a question - whether the republican faction was good or bad, and finally, he got an answer in his mind.

People who kill good people are naturally not good people!
