C1 This is the revolution of whampoa

Thirteen Years Spring, March 1924, Guangzhou.

It was another sunny day. The sun was high up in the sky as the train station outside of Guangzhou's Da Sha Tau was filled with people and carriages.

Some of the drivers were bare-chested, a towel slung over their shoulders, and only a pair of shorts on their lower halves. They squatted in the shade of the train station building and talked about the military affairs of the north and south while talking about revolution and democracy. They talked more or less about the new academy that Marshal Sun had founded on Changzhou Island.

When the train from Wuchang entered the station, the sound of the whistle in the front accompanied by the "kengchi ~ kengchi" sound of the steam engine emitted a large amount of white gas, slowly and steadily.

The train attendant standing at the entrance of the carriage jumped down first. With the red flag in their hands and the whistle in their mouths, the sharp whistle blew and all the passengers coming from the south jumped off with big bags and bags in their hands.

At this time, the accent of the people had yet to reach the ears of Li Boyang, as it was no different to listening to old setae's foreign language. Occasionally, there would be a sentence that sounded like a friendly voice, causing Li Boyang to turn around, but he could not find anyone to talk to.

Li Boyang was dressed in a black Zhongshan suit. At his elbow, he carried a black bag, which was full of passengers. He jumped off the train and followed the hustle and bustle of passengers. They followed the crowd and saw the exit about ten meters away. At this time, the exit was already completely surrounded by people, and the yellow-skinned thin coachman was squeezed at the very front, and with a glance they could see the fair-skinned and well-dressed Li Boyang, in this young age, everyone was thin and listless. Li Boyang was tall and thin, and it was obvious that he was the young master of a rich family.

"Young Master, can we take a taxi? "Fast and steady." The first person to barge in in in front of Li Boyang was a coachman who bowed his head and bent over. His face was dark and old, and he seemed to be both strong and strong even though he was in his prime.

At first, Li Boyang didn't want to ride on the rickshaw, but when he saw the earnest face in front of him, he hesitantly nodded his head in agreement. When the rickshaw driver saw this, a smile bloomed on his face.

The coachman pushed his way through the crowd of people, and Li Boyang followed him out, arriving beside a seventy percent new wagons. The driver pulled down the hood of the cart. He looked at Li Boyang's clothes and wiped clean the seat with a towel.

Li Boyang got on the cart and sat down. The coachman pulled it up and turned to ask, "Young Master, where are you going?"

Li Boyang said politely, "Master, do you know where I can enroll at Huangpu Military Academy?"

The coachman cried out, "How can I stand Master? I am just a person who is going to suffer." "Young master, you asked me the right person. Let me bring you to see the Yellow Pub Military Academy's' Recruitment Notes'."

"Sure!" Lee Boyang's interest was piqued.

Huang Pu Military Academy's "Recruit's Book" was also very easy to find, because in Guangzhou, the streets and alleys were already covered. The driver only had to pull the carriage for a few steps before he found Huang Po's first issue of "Recruit's Note" on the door of a inn.

Li Boyang jumped off the car and looked at the contents of the short chapter. The Brief Book of Recruitment was known as the "Army Officer School of the Kuomintang". The requirement for admission was "Comprehensionism", which he was very clear on, Mr. Sun Zhongshan had been studying "Three People's Principles" for a long time. Education requires high school or equivalent to high school graduation, strong physical requirements, no eye disease, lung disease, and venereal disease. The exam is divided into written and oral examinations. The content of the examination is composition, politics, and mathematics.

Finally, the enrollment address, Guangzhou South Embankment 2.

After reading the brief chapter, Li Boyang touched his nose. This was too easy. He got back onto the cart and said to the driver, "Go to the registration office."

The coachman took Li Boyang across the street. After half an hour of running under the hot sun, they finally arrived at the registration office of Huangpu Military Academy, which was located diagonally opposite the dock at the south end of the long dike. The second ancient building on the south dike was a three-storey Western European and Roman cylindrical building, with three floors in the middle and two floors in the back.

Li Boyang got off the cart, took out two pieces of silver from his bag and handed it to the sweating driver. He sincerely thanked him and said, "Thank you, Master."

"Young master is a good man." The coachman gripped the cold silver coin tightly, but his heart was burning with passion. He could not help but bend over to thank the coachman.

The long embankment was without a doubt one of the busiest and most bustling places in Guangzhou. Smoking gambling houses and brothels were everywhere, and the two stores were six and nine storeys high, respectively, and were located on the shore of the Pearl River.

There were many trams and cars on the streets, all of them were men and women wearing dress, there were also a lot of fashionable girls with small bags on their shoulders and big hips. He thought to himself, this is the brothel sister.

Looking at the ancient building in front of him, he saw the names "Huangpu Military Academy Preparatory Committee" and "Huangpu Military Academy Examination Committee" hanging in front of the main entrance. The first recruitment notice and details were posted at the entrance. There was a large circle of youths already gathered there. Their expressions were spirited and full of excitement, and their faces were filled with yearning.

His heart was thumping loudly, and a surge of hot blood rushed to his heart. He raised his arm high in the air and thundered, "Long live Huangpu Military Academy."

The youth surrounding the door looked over. They didn't say anything, just quietly looked at Li Boyang. Li Boyang wasn't afraid of the big families. Instead, he raised his arm and shouted, "Huangpu Military Academy, I'm coming!"

They were all youngsters, so no one criticized Li Boyang's sudden outburst. Instead, they all revealed a friendly smile, because there was a chance that they would all be schoolmates in the future.

"The military academy's office area forbids loud clamoring." An officer ran out from the door as he solemnly stared at Li Boyang who was still holding his hand up in the air.

Li Boyang was scared out of his wits by the stare. He quickly put his hands down and walked towards the door, which was the registration area.

Everyone was in an orderly line. Soon, they arrived at Li Boyang. In front of the door, three military officers sat on a row of tables and chairs. There were already a bunch of questionnaires on them.

"Name, place of origin, age, education, recommendation." Today, the student recruitment was for the original chief of staff, Ye Jianyin, whom Wang Boling had just invited from the Eighth Brigade of Cantonese Army.

"Li Boyang, from Shanxi University. Eighteen years old, high school, recommended by Mr. Sun Zhongshan. " Li Boyang blurted out.

"Mr. Sun Zhongshan recommended you? Do you have a recommendation letter? " This was the first student recommended by Mr. Sun Zhongshan. He raised his head and looked at Li Luo, wanting to see what kind of talent this was.

He sized up Li Boyang who was in front of him. He was seventeen or eighteen years old, and his skin was fair and clean. He looked like a son from a rich family.

"No recommendation letter!" Li Boyang spread out his hands. Both of his hands were empty.

Ye Jianying pushed the enrollment form in front of her, tapped the table with her pen, and said, "How can you prove that you are not lying without a recommendation letter."

"Oral recommendation!" Li Boyang raised his head. His young face was full of pride, without a doubt.

The three of them looked at each other, they did not know whether what Li Boyang said was true or false, so they were unable to ask for confirmation from Mr. Sun Zhongshan. Deng Yan Da frowned and asked: "Oral recommendation, when will you have a witness?"

Li Boyang did not reply, but instead asked Deng Yanda, "Did Mr. Sun Zhongshan say that he would welcome young people who wished to save China from extinction to come to Guangzhou and to Whampoa, with the exception of warlords, to take part in the revolution?"

"Yeah!" Deng Yanda thought for a moment and nodded his head.

"Then that's it!" Li Boyang revealed a bright smile, he pointed at his chest with his thumb, and said loudly: I am the ambitious young man Mr. Sun spoke of! Do you think the Mr. Sun is my introducer? "

Deng Yan Da smiled bitterly and looked at Qian Da, but looked at Ye Jian who was laughing.

Ye Jian thought about what Li Boyang had said, and felt that there was some wrong with it, but Mr. Sun Zhongshan's recommendation seemed to be false, and made him not know whether to laugh or cry, but the young man in front of him was clever with his words, bold and meticulous, and was the talent needed for the revolution. He did not want to be truthful on this matter, so he pondered for a long time and wrote his name on the recommendation list: "Ye Jian Yu."

He handed the registration form to Li Boyang for him to sign and then solemnly said, "This is the only time, there won't be a next time."

Li Boyang smiled coyly as he signed his name. In fact, he was pestering himself. He had heard that Huang Po was recruiting, and he had run away from home without any hesitation, so how could he introduce anyone?

Ye Jian kept his watch. Since the person who introduced Li Boyang to the academy was him, he could not help but become more attentive, "On March 27th, the military academy will hold the first batch of entrance exams at the Guangdong Higher Normal University. Don't miss it."

"Mm, thank you very much." Li Boyang calculated the date. March 27th was the day after tomorrow. If he came a few days later, he would have missed something big. Fortunately, he had run away from home smoothly.

After thanking the three military officers, Li Boyang was tired. After sitting on the train for a few days, his body had turned sour. He walked along the street towards the bustling area where hotels were located.

"Guangzhou Xingrong Hotel", in the department store next to a quite distinctive hotel, Li Boyang looked at the board, he decided to stay here. Under the respectful welcome of the waiter, Li Boyang spent five silver coins and got the waiter to order a few specialty dishes to bring him to the room. He tasted them with a fresh taste, it was different from the Wuchang's snacks, it was a different taste.

After staying in the hotel for two days, Li Boyang had no interest in loitering around. He just asked the waiter to go out and buy a few books.

On the morning of the 27th of March, a waiter woke Li Boyang early in the morning and brought him his breakfast. After he finished his breakfast, he went downstairs and found a Ford van parked in front of the hotel.

Li Boyang calmly walked to the door, took out two pieces of silver from his bag and gave them to the waiter.

The waiter took the silver and sent it to Li Boyang in a warm manner. He instructed the driver, "Take the young master to the Guangdong Normal University." Young Master Li, I wish you success in your exam. "
