Traveling back to 1949, Peng Yanzhi was about to welcome the new era when someone outside the door stood at attention and saluted:
"Major!"
He looked down.
He is in uniform of the national army, director of the munitions warehouse, and the eldest son of a landowner and grain merchant in eastern Guangdong.
The good news is that my family has fields, a grain store, a rice mill, and dozens of capable shopkeepers, clerks, and bailiffs.
The bad news is that defeat is certain. The original owner had made false military accounts, and his superiors were always ready to blame him. There were also military rations and Western medicines of unknown origin hidden in the Peng family's granary.
Three days to check the accounts and six days to ship.
Since something will happen sooner or later if you stay here, what else can you do?
I can only settle the accounts for my boss, while at the same time seizing ships, stocking up on medicines, saving up gold, preparing all the people and things that I can take away, and looking for opportunities to run away.
The fields cannot be taken away, nor can the ancestral home be taken away.
But as long as the people and the team are still there, the Peng family can be reestablished in another place.
Reader comments
Good guy, the escape route of the Kuomintang officer in 1949. This is the first time I have seen an online article on this subject. Come on, the author, and look forward to the follow-up.
The subject matter is unique and recommended to old bookworms.
The writing is really good, very real, and has the flavor of life in that era. Maybe it's because I'm old enough that I like this type of novel. It's really good.
It's a pretty good work, but it really won't be well-received by people who don't understand that period of history and lack life experience. Hey, it's hard for the author as well. Recommended for intelligent readers.
