A neighbor asked Miao: Why is your new house five or six feet smaller than the old wall? Miao Laodao is mystifying: "That's later. After the son becomes an official, he can park the sedan chair at the gate to rest. " 1927 In April, Miao Bin, who had not heard from him for many years, was honored to be appointed as the representative of the First Army of the Northern Expeditionary Army. The little Miao family suddenly became lively. Two "iron gates" were erected in front of the door with thick wooden fences, and armed guards stood in a row "seriously". Unfortunately, Miao Lao Dao failed to wait until this day. The tenant surnamed Zhao, who enjoys the right of "permanent lease", was sent away by the soldiers in charge of the advance station on the eve of "glorious return". [2]
1932 In the spring, the rich official took a fancy to a large piece of land owned by Zhu and Gu after Miao Village, and got his wish through "silver" and "location" (recommended location). Therefore, Wuxi Industrial Architecture Office, founded by the famous architect Jiang Yinglin, was commissioned to design and build new houses. [2]
On June+10 in 5438, Miao Bin held a grand ceremony of "entering the palace". For several days in a row, there was traffic in front of Miao house, the garden was brightly lit, fireworks were set off on the south gate tower, and open-air movies were shown on the open space in front of the house (silent). [2]
1937 10 Japanese plane bombed Wuxi, and Miao Bin, who was impeached for selling officials and titles, fell into the water and defected. He planted "plaster flags" on the walls around Miao House, and sent people to the south gate tower to play flares, for fear that the Japanese plane would accidentally bomb his mansion, also for navigation. Japanese master seems to give Miao Bin "face". In the repeated bombing, Miao Mansion was unscathed, but nanzenji, which is separated by a river, was completely bombed.
At this time, Miao Bin has become the vice president of the pseudo "North China Xinmin Society" and the vice president of the Legislative Yuan. In order to leave a retreat for himself, on the one hand, he still worked hard for the Japanese army, on the other hand, he got in touch with He (his old superior) and Dai Li, two important figures of the Kuomintang in Chongqing, and watched the development. However, the Japanese secret service in Wuxi decided to "take a fancy to" and asked to "borrow" Miao Mansion, so Miao Bin had to "live in seclusion" in Xiaoyanglou on Shaoxing Road in Shanghai. A red-hot power grid was set up on the high wall of Miaofu in Wuxi. It used to be a spy station of Wang Puppet Man and became a Japanese spy. There are torture chambers and water dungeons everywhere, which have become a magic cave for killing anti-Japanese soldiers.
