After returning to Changping, Liu Zheng stayed with Liu Xiang for a day, then rushed back to Chengdu under the latter's urging.
This trip was fruitful. With the uprising of the Dian Army, Shudu and Yunzhou would be united.
In the future, Baldy Jiang's 400,000 soldiers would not dare to act rashly.
In this way, the 'civil war' that the Japanese invaders were looking forward to would also become a bubble.
In order to force Baldy Jiang to give up the mountain city, Liu Zheng had prepared another move----he would use Baldy Jiang's so-called " American father " to give him a fierce kick!
Zheng Qian was currently in charge of the specific operations.
On the day they returned to Chengdu, Liu Zheng and his wife, Xue Yaru, came to a quiet courtyard.
"Hmph, I'm telling you, even if you kill my entire family, my father won't be a traitor.”
In the living room, a fashionably dressed woman pointed at the guard and cursed non-stop.
Obviously, the woman was filled with anger.
"Why is Fourth Miss Duan so angry today? Could it be because he ate hotpot last night? How about this, from today onwards, the Duan family can move freely in Shu City?”
Hearing Xue Yaru's words, the 'fourth young mistress' was stopped by her mother.
"Marshal Liu, the old saying is right. When two armies fight, the family will not be harmed. The Sichuan Army has the ambition to fight against the Japanese invaders, and Zhongyi also regards this as his duty. Although we belong to different camps, we are all descendants of China. There is no need to make things difficult for Zhongyi in this way…"
The person who spoke was Duan Zhongyi's wife, Qin Shuwan.
Because of the Japanese invaders 'plane bombing, Qin Shuwan's legs were unfortunately blown up while she was visiting her hometown. Even so, her knowledge was not shallow. From Liu Zheng secretly sending people to Yunzhou to " invite " her family to Shu Du as guests, to the various treatments they received after coming to Shu Du, Qin Shuwan silently affirmed in her heart,"Liu Zheng wants to use them to make Duan Zhongyi take the initiative to join the Sichuan Army.”
However, Qin Shuwan did not expect Liu Zheng to not force Duan Zhongyi.
Liu Zheng did this because he used Baldy Jiang's hand to make Duan Zhongyi completely disappointed in the National Government and finally took the initiative to join the Sichuan Army.
"Madam Qin, General Duan is a rare talent. Old Jiang knows this, but he doesn't dare to put him in an important position because he's afraid of him. This time, when he invited Mrs. Qin's family to come to Shu City, the method was not open and aboveboard. Liu Zheng apologized here. Madam Qin, how about this? Half a month later, Liu Zheng will send troops to escort your family back to Yunzhou safely.”
In order to bring back Duan Zhongyi's family safely, almost all of the Thorny Rose intelligence agents that Liu Yue had deployed in Yunzhou were exposed.
In addition, the uprising of the Dian Army was imminent.
If they sent Qin Shuwan and the others back now, it would be equivalent to indirectly helping Old Jiang harm Duan Zhongyi's family.
Besides, Baldy Jiang already knew about this. If Liu Zheng's guess was correct, Baldy Jiang had probably already sent out a special agent to the Yunnan-Myanmar highway to secretly control Duan Zhongyi.
Once the Dian Army revolted, Liu Zheng would try his best to save Duan Zhongyi. As for whether the latter would stay?
That would depend on what Duan Zhongyi was thinking.
In short, if Duan Zhongyi didn't see despair, he would never rebel against the National Government.
After greeting Qin Shuwan, Liu Zheng drove to the Sichuan-Yunnan highway.
Under the setting sun, the air along the way was filled with the sound of hammering, the shouts of workers, and the sound of explosives exploding.
2.8 million migrant workers were building the Sichuan-Yunnan highway at the same time, just to artificially carve out a life passage in the cliffs and ravines.
The tunnel was eight meters wide and did not have any modern machinery. The road was paved with 'centimeter-sized stones', which were mixed with different sizes of crushed stones. Finally, a man-made' stone roller 'was used as a roller to push forward step by step!
All in all, the 2.8 million citizens of Shu City were using their lives to build roads.
"Young and old men, the marshal and his wife have come to visit everyone…"
"Don't worry, marshal. We will be able to build the Sichuan-Yunnan highway soon…"
"Marshal, after the road is repaired, can I join the army?”
"I also want to fight the Japanese…"
Listening to the simple voices of the crowd, looking at the sections of the road that seemed to have been built from nothing, and then looking at the newly added graves on the mountains on both sides, Liu Zheng's heart was filled with waves.
"Yaru, how many people died? How did they die?"
"Master, a total of 45 people have died so far. 25 of them fell to their deaths from accidentally falling off the cliff. 10 people were buried alive because of the landslide. The last 10 people were bitten by poisonous snakes and other poisons. In the end, they died without treatment…"
If they were on Earth, forget about 45 people dying, even if one person died, the project would probably be ordered to stop.
Now, 45 people had died in just over a month after the construction of the Sichuan-Yunnan highway. Liu Zheng could not imagine how many new graves would be added after the road was completed.
"Young and old men, thank you. Liu Zheng is here to thank you for your free contribution…"
Liu Zheng couldn't help but sob.
Hearing Liu Zheng's choked voice, many people in front of him told themselves in their hearts,""As long as the road is repaired, as long as the Sichuan army goes out of Shu to defeat the Japanese invaders, even if I die here or get buried alive, it's worth it!”
"Let's get to work!"
"There's still one meter left today. I must chisel it out…"
"Bang, bang bang…"
The person in charge of the site did not give any orders. All the actions were taken by the workers themselves.
The national highway was the passage of life. It was unimpeded when driving. Who knew how many bones were buried on this road?
About 20 minutes later, Liu Zheng and his group arrived at a quarry.
"Liu Zheng, you traitor, the chairman will never forgive you…"
"Warlord Liu, you are a sinner of the Chinese nation!”
"You will die a horrible death…"
Seeing Liu Zheng, many of the military agents who were wearing bracelets and handcuffs cursed him.
Among these people, Mao Renfeng had the highest status.
After arresting these secret agents, Liu Zheng did not kill any of them. Instead, he gathered them in the quarry as quarry workers.
In Liu Zheng's words, these people had done many wicked things that were against the heavens and reason. It would be too easy for them to be shot. It would be better to let them live and undergo labor reform.
"Chief Mao, do your best. After the Sichuan-Yunnan highway is completed, I will promote you…"
"Liu, Zheng!"
"Don't shout, save your strength and work more. After the Sichuan-Yunnan highway is opened to traffic, there will be Sichuan-Yunnan highway, Sichuan-Guizhou highway, Sichuan-Shaanxi highway, Sichuan-Hunan highway…In short, as long as there is a place in China that is not accessible to traffic, you, Chief Mao, will be the chief 'director' of the quarrying workers.”
Hearing Liu Zheng's words, Mao Renfeng was so angry that she clenched the hammer in her hand tightly and looked at Liu Zheng with murderous intent.
Mao Renfeng might have some ambition, but the other military agents were like frosted eggplants. Everyone was dead and lifeless!
Other than the labor reform, Mao Renfeng and the others were still bait. If Dai Li dared to send people to rescue them, Liu Zheng would further strengthen the 'Juntong Quarrying Brigade' this strange team.
