Chapter 7: Narrow Road of Enemies

  Dusk has arrived, and the sunset is burning like a flame, covering half of the sky.

  Sun Xinghua's dormitory was very simple, with a small bed, a desk and a chair. That was Sun Xinghua's dormitory. There were also some books on the desk, but they were all in German. The previous one had planned to translate German military books to teach students at Huangpu, but halfway through the work, he was replaced by Sun Xinghua from the 21st century.

  Although Sun Xinghua has accepted most of the knowledge and is familiar with some German and Japanese, if he is asked to translate from German now, Sun Xinghua, who has not fully accepted this knowledge before, cannot do it.

  Looking at the German text in front of him, Sun Xinghua's head got bigger.

  But this scene was seen by the instructor outside.

  "Director Sun, still working hard." A lieutenant colonel in uniform walked in.

  The instructor was about 26 years old, with a clear and elegant face, looking more like a scholar than a soldier. From memory, Sun Xinghua knew that the instructor's name was Shen Jian, who graduated from Japan's Military Academy and served as a tactics instructor at Whampoa Military Academy.

  "Director Shen, is there something?" Sun Xinghua put away his books and asked with a smile.

  "It's like this, just now the principal gave an order, asking you to lead some students, taking advantage of tomorrow being Sunday. To go to Guangzhou for a propaganda event, after all, putting down the merchant guild rebellion has caused too much trouble for the people." Shen Jian hastily explained his purpose, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

  In fact, there was a Huangpu propaganda team within the Huangpu Military Academy. However, due to Director Dai Jitao's sudden departure, the work of the political department could not be carried out. The succeeding director, Shao Yuanzhong, had the nickname "hypnotist". During his lectures, students often fell asleep. Moreover, this hypnotist, although in the revolutionary camp, preached Confucianism and soon resigned from office.

  At that time, the Political Department had no one in charge and work could not progress. Some important tasks were handled by other instructors on an acting basis until Zhou Enlai took over as director.

  As for the order of Chiang Kai-shek conveyed by Shen Jian, Sun Xinghua would not miss the opportunity to go to Guangzhou and was willing to lead the students to Guangzhou for publicity and improve their diet at the same time.

  "No problem, I'll select some students tomorrow and go to Guangzhou for publicity." Sun Xinghua readily agreed.

  Shen Jian also left the dormitory in the name of not disturbing Sun Xinghua.

  At the second watch, before dawn, when the sky was just a little bright, Sun Xinghua got up early and led Chen Gang and others to take the military school's transport boat to Guangzhou.

  "Jiang Xianyun, Chen Geng, you two are in charge of distributing propaganda leaflets."

  "He Zonghan, Li Zhilong, you two are in charge of giving speeches, and other classmates will assist."

  On the transport boat, Sun Xinghua made a simple deployment.

  As for publicity, Sun Xinghua was clueless, so he simply assigned the task directly.

  "Yes." The four people hastily replied in unison.

  Guangzhou, at this moment, Guangzhou has regained its former prosperity.

  The people have become accustomed to this kind of life, after all, at this time, the battles between various warlords have almost never stopped. Today you come, tomorrow he comes, Guangzhou has changed hands many times in just a few years. The people are no longer surprised by such things.

  Sun Xinghua looked at the streets in the distance, with a hint of helplessness on his face. Although the overall post-war treatment was not bad, some burnt-out civilian houses still shocked him.

  "Act!" Sun Xinghua gave the order.

  Chen Gang and others were distributing flyers everywhere, while He Zonghan, Li Long and others began to set up a temporary simple stage for speeches, ready to speak at any time.

  However, the revolutionary enthusiasm of the people was not as high as Sun Xinghua had imagined. As for the scattered papers, they were picked up and then thrown back onto the ground.

  In no time, a temporary stage was set up, and He Zhanchan, having been a teacher before, naturally stood on the platform, holding a metal megaphone, and began to shout loudly.

  The propaganda content was nothing more than how great the revolution was, how great the Three Principles of the People were, and some people were attracted to it, but the number of people was not many, mostly students.

  "Director Sun, the crowd's enthusiasm is not high." Hu Zongnan walked to the front of Sun Xinghua and said with a helpless expression.

  "Guangzhou has just gone through war, I'm afraid the people may not listen to these. Relying solely on distributing flyers and giving speeches may not be enough to attract the attention of the masses, we need to think of other ways." Sun Xinghua said helplessly.

  Even if revolutionary passion is running high and your own city has just gone through a war, probably no one would be willing to listen to this.

  "Director Sun, why not use a performance form to promote the revolution?" Li Zhilong suggested.

  Sun Xinghua immediately thought of the Blood Flower Drama Society at Whampoa Military Academy and a smile appeared on his face.

  "In the field, what you said makes sense. Relying solely on speeches may not be enough to capture the attention of the masses. If we stage a play and spread the revolution through the form of drama, this approach can completely attract the attention of the people." Sun Xinghua hastily expressed his thoughts.

  Li Zhi Long saw his ideas being valued by Sun Xing Hua and immediately expressed some more ideas.

  "Alright, now come up with a script quickly and go find some props." Sun Xinghua said excitedly. Although he didn't know how the performance would turn out, at least it would be better than just giving a lecture on stage.

  "The normal school should have the props." Chen Gong walked over from a distance, and with his words, everyone's eyes turned to Sun Xinghua, obviously wanting him to step forward and borrow the props from the normal school.

  "Chen Gang, since you know that the normal school has props, take a few classmates with you to go. I'll take the opportunity to think of a script and borrow some clothes." Sun Xinghua said to Chen Gang.

  Chen Gong nodded and beckoned a few students to leave this place.

  "Director Sun, is this plan feasible?" Hu Zongnan still had some doubts.

  Sun Xinghua didn't say anything either and simply found a place to sit down, thinking carefully.

  The script thing he didn't think about, but unexpectedly agreed to it. Sun Xinghua naturally had to have an explanation, after thinking carefully for half a day, Sun Xinghua thought of the model of later generations' shrewd businessmen and gained some insights.

  About half an hour later, Chen Gong and others started coming back, bringing a lot of props and three female students.

  Looking at the female student running over from afar, Sun Xinghua felt very familiar.

  "Song Ling'er?" A name immediately appeared in Sun Xinghua's memory.

  The female students were all wearing school uniforms and had smiles on their faces.

  One of the female students found Sun Xinghua and walked over with an angry face.

  "Sun Xinghua." The female student said angrily.

  Xinghua Sun stood up, looking at the female student in front of him, but he couldn't help feeling a little resentful towards himself. The girl was very beautiful, with a head of black hair falling like a waterfall, distant mountains-like eyebrows, a pair of almond-shaped eyes shining brightly, a delicate nose, rosy cheeks, lips like cherry blossoms, and a radiant complexion as white as jade. Her skin was smooth and lustrous, like frost or snow, and her slender figure was breathtakingly beautiful.

  Sun Xinghua's past life, even if he wanted to find a beautiful woman like that, without a certain amount of money, it was impossible. But now, it's an arranged marriage, whether the girl agrees or not, they must get married anyway.

  "Alas, a wooden head. Leaving such a beauty behind and running to Huangpu instead." Sun Xinghua sighed in his heart, trying his best to maintain a smile on his face.

  This was also Sun Xinghua's first discovery of the benefits of arranged marriage.

  "You think I'm willing to marry you? Let me tell you, even if all the men in the world were dead, I wouldn't marry you. And now you're thinking of escaping marriage, just like a woman." Song Ling'er was extremely angry inside, she also opposed this marriage, originally wanted to have a good talk with Sun Xinghua and then persuade both sets of parents, but she didn't expect that Sun Xinghua would actually escape the marriage.

  Sun Xinghua's runaway marriage is not a big deal, but Song Ling'er is worried about what others will think of her. She has the looks and the figure, but Sun Xinghua's escape from their wedding makes her wonder how people will comment on her.

  Song Ling'er looked for Sun Xinghua several times but couldn't find him, so she came to Guangzhou Normal School to study. Today, she originally wanted to take a look at the Huangpu Student Army, but unexpectedly, she met Sun Xinghua here.

  "Officer Sun, you two know each other?" Chen Gong walked over with a smile and said to Sun Xinghua.

  Sun Xinghua gave Chen Gang a murderous look, while Chen Gang walked away to the side. The surrounding students and two other female students all looked at Sun Xinghua and Song Ling'er.

  "Let's have a good talk, there seems to be some misunderstanding." Sun Xinghua noticed other people's gaze and said to Song Ling'er.

  Song Ling'er glanced at Jin Hui-shu and Pan Hui-qin, who had come together, and coldly snorted: "I have nothing to do with you anymore, there's nothing to talk about."

  After finishing speaking, Song Ling'er walked towards the two women and continued to help Chen Gong and others arrange the props.

  Sun Xinghua then shared the script he had thought of with everyone, and everyone thought it was good. After preparing for a while, they started performing. As Sun Xinghua had expected, there were many more people this time.
