After the August 1 Nanchang riot of the CCP in 1927, He Long, the general commander of the uprising, commanded the uprising army to go south to Guangdong. In the battle of Tangkeng, Chaoshan, the uprising army was defeated. In a place called Yunluo in Wushi, He Long’s command organization was dispersed by the enemy. After He Long broke out of the encirclement, he saw that there were only a few people left around him, and the bullets were all gone. They were sitting on the ground and frowning. Someone said: "Commander, we have suffered such a big defeat, how can we not worry?" He Long smiled and said: "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. How many defeats did Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, win in the battle of Jiuli Mountain?" He said and waved, "Get up and follow me to He Jinzhai. What about people and horses?"

At that moment, everyone followed He Long towards Hai Lufeng.After walking for more than 20 miles, at a place called Wudaokou, a person ran past, and when he saw He Long, he burst into tears. He Long took a look, and it was Lu Dongsheng who came.Lu Dongsheng used to be Chen Xu's bodyguard, and later served as a bodyguard next to He Long. He Jinzhai, the commander of the First Division of the Uprising Army, loved Lu Dongsheng. Seeing Lu Dongsheng crying, He Long hurriedly asked why.Lu Dongsheng beat his chest and said, "Commander, Master He has disarmed!" He Long's eyes widened as soon as he heard it, he grabbed Lu Dongsheng's clothes and asked, "What did you say?"

Then, Lu Dongsheng explained the disarmament of He Jinzhai's first division. He Jinzhai was the commander of the first division of the rebel army, and the first division was the vanguard of the southward movement. When the troops reached Lufeng, the morale of the rebel army was low due to successive defeats, and many of them threw their guns and fled.Ou Baichuan, the deputy commander of the first division, was very disgusted with He Long's joining the Communist Party and handing over his money to the Communist Party to cause riots.After the rebel army was defeated in Wushi, Ou Baichuan deceived He Jinzhai, and under the guise of He Jinzhai, disarmed the first division and two regiments.

After hearing Lu Dongsheng's narration, He Long opened his eyes wide with anger, stomped his feet and scolded: "When I saw He Jinzhai, I must have killed him. He has disgraced my He family! The cause of revolution has been ruined by my He family! " Lu Dongsheng said again: "Commander, the troops have all dispersed, and the cadres have gone their separate ways." Someone sighed and said: "It's over, the uprising has failed." He Long frowned and said: "Who finished? The team is broken, just pull it up again, I want to go back to Xiangxi, I want to make a comeback." He said to the people around him, "Since we went to Hong Kong together, we transferred to Shanghai. , go to the Party Central Committee, and then pull the team.”

After hearing He Long's words, everyone followed He Long and went straight to Jiazi Port by the sea.On the way, they encountered another group of enemy troops and dispersed the small group. As a result, Lu Dongsheng was the only one left beside He Long.Not far away, I met Wu Yuzhang, Peng Pai, Lin Zuhan, Jiang Jihuan, Tan Pingshan and others. Let's move forward together.Arrived at Jiazi Port.Everyone stayed.Later, Peng Pai and the underground party contacted a large ship, and He Long and others went to Hong Kong together. Hong Kong is an island at the mouth of the Pearl River in Guangdong. After the defeat of China in the Sino-British Opium War in 1842, the Treaty of Nanjing was signed and Hong Kong was ceded to the United Kingdom. An important commercial center and naval base.

He Long and the others arrived in Hong Kong. In order to reduce the number of targets, everyone dispersed their actions. He Long was only surrounded by Lu Dongsheng. They searched for connections according to the meeting place explained by the organization. , his face was so tanned that he was particularly eye-catching. Lu Dongsheng saw that passers-by looked at them both, so he bought two pairs of sunglasses, changed into suits, and went to the bookstore to buy a few books, one of which was called "Girl's Diary".Dressed like this, he managed to hide it from the eyes of the people on the street.At noon that day, the two found a restaurant and had a meal. During the meal, Lu Dongsheng accidentally read a newspaper at the next table. It turned out that there was a message in the newspaper, saying:

According to investigations, He Long, the commander of the 20th Army, and Ye Ting, the commander of the 24th Division of the 11th Army, were instigated by the Communist Party and openly rebelled. The arrest warrant stated that He Long would be rewarded with 100,000 oceans if he was captured.The newspaper also reported that He Long had fled to Hong Kong, and there was a photo of He Long.Lu Dongsheng hurriedly bought a newspaper, and saw that on the front page, besides the photos of He Long and Ye Ting, there was also a warrant for Zhou Yiqun's arrest. Lu Dongsheng read it, and it read: Zhou Yiqun, a native of Tongren, Guizhou, was born in June 1896. He traveled to Japan to study political economy at Keio University in Tokyo.Founded "Guizhou Youth" with Li Xiagong, joined the Communist Party of China in 1924, and joined the second phase of the Whampoa convoy in the same year. At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, he served as the director of the political department under He Long's division... Lu Dongsheng took a quick glance, and quickly pulled He Long outside, whispering After recounting the news published in the newspaper, He Long asked, "How much money is left?"

Lu Dongsheng said, "There are dozens of yuan left." He Long said: "Let's look for the party organization again. If we can't find it, go to Shanghai." At that moment, the two came to the street and continued to search for a relationship. As they were walking, they suddenly heard a person next to them say: "He Wenchang, you are so bold. The government has captured you with pictures and pictures, and you are still walking on the street swaggeringly." He Long was startled when he heard this, and when he looked back, he couldn't help being overjoyed. It turned out that the speaker was Guo Moruo.Guo Moruo whispered, "You made it hard for me to find it."

He Long asked: "Where are all the members of the Revolutionary Committee?" Guo Moruo said, "We've all arrived in Shanghai. I'm here to support you. You should go to Shanghai too." He Long said, "When will we leave?" Guo Moruo said, "The sooner the better." At that moment, Guo Moruo took He Long and Lu Dongsheng to a hotel and met a comrade named Gao Tianbo. Gao Tianbo bought the boat tickets for He Long and Lu Dongsheng, and He Long and Lu Dongsheng set off for Shanghai. The ship left Hong Kong and stopped at Shantou for loading.When the ship arrived at Shantou port, martial law was still in Shantou. Teams of enemy soldiers, armed with live ammunition, patrolled like a shuttle.Seeing this scene, Lu Dongsheng was very nervous. He looked at He Long, but He Long was very calm.At this time, some passengers boarded the boat again. Lu Dongsheng glanced at the passengers on board and almost shouted in surprise. It turned out that he saw Zhou Yiqun, the commander of the Third Division of the Uprising Army, among the passengers. On board the steamer.

He Long also saw Zhou Yiqun boarding the boat. When Zhou Yiqun walked up to He Long, He Long called softly: "Yiqun." Only then did Zhou Yiqun realize that it was He Long's voice, and he grabbed He Long in surprise. On his shoulders, the two comrades held hands tightly. It turned out that Zhou Yiqun was captured by the enemy after the troops were dispersed, but the enemy did not recognize him and released him.When he arrived in Shantou, he wanted to leave, but he had no money in his hands. He didn't know what to do. Fortunately, a charity organization gave him a ticket, so he was able to board the boat.

After hearing Zhou Yiqun's brief introduction, He Long said in a low voice: "Yiqun, if there are green hills left, don't worry about running out of firewood. Let's drag the team together." The ship sailed and headed for Shanghai through the waves.
