Gunfire rang out in the city of Peiping all night long, and countless people spent the night in fear.

When the sun shines softly through the cracks in the window, the sound of gunfire outside completely disappears.

"Crunch..."

Amidst the crunching sounds, the people cautiously poked their heads out, a little nervous, a little scared and a little expectant to observe the situation on the street outside.

Peiping has been besieged for many days. People in Hebei, Shandong and other places have only heard some rumors and are not sure about the situation.

Commander Jiang of the Sixth Corps is very powerful, and the people have no doubt about this.

But at the same time, they also know that the Japanese cannot be underestimated, especially because many people have not yet come out of the shadow of the previous Japanese rule.

After a night of bloody battle, I don’t know who will lose and who will win?

One by one, heads appeared in the crack of the door, and when the sound of tidy footsteps appeared on the street, the heads immediately retracted as if they were frightened.

"Hey, daddy, how's it going outside?"

The woman asked in a low voice, holding two children behind her.

The man staring at the crack in the door seemed not to hear the woman's voice, and pushed the door open involuntarily with both hands.

The woman wanted to stop the man's reckless behavior, but a very familiar flag appeared in her eyes.

"Win! Win! Yeah, yeah, yeah..."

Before the adults could recover, the two little boys, one big and one small, rushed out of the yard happily.

Childish cheers rang in the alleys, on the streets, and in the sky above Peiping where there was still a faint smoke of gunpowder.

The adults chased their children into the street, and what they saw were numerous busy and unhurried National Army soldiers.

Familiar flags, familiar military uniforms, familiar kind smiles...

At this moment, many people shed tears involuntarily.

Immediately, cheers broke out, and the whole city was filled with the joy of victory.

People from the Political Department and Logistics Department arrived in Peiping City at dawn. They will assist the Fourth Army in handling post-war matters.

People from the civil affairs, industrial and commercial systems will arrive one day later.

Although they had been on the train for several hours, there was no trace of fatigue on the faces of Wang Liang, Lu Zhuoran and other members of the Political Department.

Their eyes were filled with excitement, and their bodies seemed to have endless strength.

"Quick, quick, quick... After it's glued, we have to go to the next street!"

Under the curious and puzzled eyes of the people, the soldiers from the Political Department posted a big-character poster on the wall, showed a kind smile to the people around them, and then hurriedly ran to the next street.

The soldiers left, and all the people around them gathered around.

There are many people in Beiping who can read and read, and some carefully read the contents of the notice.

"National Revolution! Jiang Dong, Commander-in-Chief of the Sixth Corps of the Revolutionary Army, wrote to the folks in Peiping!"

As soon as this first sentence was read, the crowd became excited and excited.

"It's a notice written by Chief Jiang, read it quickly... read it quickly..."

A man who looked like a teacher cleared his throat, puffed out his chest, and read in a measured tone:

"As of dawn on July 4, 29, the Japanese pirate North China Front's military forces in Hebei, Shandong, Peiping, Tianjin and other places have been completely annihilated!

The 24th Division, 25th Division, 28th Division, 30th Division and 31st Division of the North China Front were all wiped out!

The 29th Division and the 48th Division escaped from the sea after being severely damaged!

Folks, compatriots, dear brothers and sisters, North China is restored!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"good!"

"yeah!"

…

The streets were filled with excitement, and the cheers became even louder.

After the announcement, the people were asked to live a normal life, carry out business transactions normally, and not to spread rumors, believe them, or spread rumors. At the same time, they should pay attention to the sabotage caused by Japanese pirate spies. If the Sixth Corps has military operations, they are expected to fully cooperate.

The last piece of content in the announcement once again attracted everyone’s attention:

"The Sixth Corps will hold an entry ceremony at Yong'an Gate at 10:00 a.m. on July 5th!"

"On the fifth day, that's tomorrow morning. I'm really looking forward to it!"

"The city entry ceremony, hahaha, good! I think back when the Japanese pirates marched into the city of Beiping with great force, how frustrating it was.

Now our own army also has to hold an entrance ceremony, which is very good, very good!"

"It must be an exciting and elated time, so everyone should go together."

"Of course, let's go together, let's go together!"

"Pah, pah, pah..."

The owner of a teahouse set off red firecrackers, which he would only take out during the Chinese New Year, and at the same time delivered the warm tea carefully prepared by the teahouse to the national soldiers who were busy on the street.

Other shops and restaurants also woke up from a dream and lit firecrackers one after another and used various supplies to comfort the army.

There is a place called Xiyuan to the west of the Forbidden City. It was once the royal garden during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. People in later generations are more familiar with its other name, Zhongnanhai.

This place once served as the Regent's Palace in the late Qing Dynasty, the Presidential Palace of Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Government, the Palace of Commander-in-Chief Zhang Zuolin, and the office of the Peking Affairs Committee of the Republic of China.

At this time, Xiyuan was bustling with people, and there were sounds of moving and cleaning everywhere.

Lu Zhuoran, who was dressed leanly, stepped into the gate of Xiyuan, his eyes coldly scanning everything around him, seemingly dissatisfied.

Someone carefully introduced Lu Zhuoran's identity to Rong Zhen. Rong Zhen was shocked for a moment, then hurriedly greeted him:

"Director Lu, you are welcome to come and guide us. Are you dissatisfied with anything?"

Lu Zhuoran strode forward, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, but he did not speak.

Rong Zhen, who was following him, suppressed his breath and said:

"All the Japanese pirates' belongings have been cleared out, and everyone is rearranging them. Look..."

Lu Zhuoran finally stopped after walking around several major places.

"I only give you one day, and this place must be completely renewed.

We must clean up all the traces left by the Japanese, and we don’t want any feudal things!”

Rong Zhen asked with some embarrassment:

"Director Lu, you should at least give us a principle as to how we should decorate this place."

Lu Zhuoran thought about it and found that Jiangdong didn't seem to have any special requirements for his office space. Everything was based on the principle of simplicity and convenience. He said:

"First do the two points I just mentioned, and the other thing is to create some new atmosphere, such as the red carpet and the like, which are indispensable.

I will notify the people from the secretariat to come over in a moment and ask their opinions if I am unsure!"

"Okay, okay..."

Rong Zhen nodded hurriedly.

Things were messed up last night, and he didn't dare to be careless about Xiyuan anymore.

The people busy everywhere at the moment are the people from the former North China Political Affairs Committee. Like Rong Zhen, they work extremely hard.

Lu Zhuoran looked around Xiyuan and suddenly felt a surge of blood, excitement, joy, boldness and other emotions that almost broke his heart.

Zhenhua Young Bachelor's short-term goals, programmatic purposes, etc. are being realized little by little following Jiangdong's footsteps.

The great ideals, ambitions, and beliefs in my heart are no longer so out of reach!

"Hahaha……"

He laughed several times in his heart, then took a sharp breath, temporarily suppressed his excitement, and devoted himself to other work.

The Political Department must prepare all the work before the city entry ceremony begins!

Since the establishment of the 6th Corps, this is the first time that a grand entry ceremony has been organized.
Chapter completed!
