Before the proposal of the student federation was approved by the city government, the battle of Shanghai suddenly broke out, even if Tang Cheng had already prepared in his heart, but after learning the news, there was still a stirring in his heart. Tang Cheng's skills are far beyond ordinary people, even among the personal guards who are known as the inner guards around the chairman of the committee in Nanjing, few can beat Tang Cheng. But Tang Cheng was self-aware, he knew that he was not suitable for positional combat, and when he went to the battlefield, his chance of death was no different from that of ordinary soldiers.

Tang Cheng was well aware of the tragedy of the Battle of Shanghai, and he had the intention to kill the enemy, but he could not let go of his family in Chongqing, and the only thing that made Tang Cheng feel relieved was that the day after the outbreak of the Shanghai War, the proposal of the Student Federation was approved by the city government. "I don't know what you kid thinks, how did you take this matter!" Zhang Jianghe, who got the news, specially came to the military camp to visit Tang Cheng, and gave Tang Cheng a slap in the face as soon as they met. "I can tell you, students are not easy to control, you have to count points in your own heart!"

Zhang Jianghe's complaint revealed his concern for Tang Cheng, and Tang Cheng, who was hot in his heart, immediately smiled at Zhang Jianghe and said, "Uncle, you have also seen the current situation. The Japanese army first provoked a war in the north, and then repeated its old tactics to attack Shanghai, which was the idea of attacking the whole of China. Organizing students to conduct military training, although it will not drag them into battle, at least when the war goes badly and things worsen, these students have the ability to protect themselves, and it is not a bad thing. ”

Tang Cheng's explanation made Zhang Jianghe stunned, he didn't expect that Tang Cheng would think so far. "Uncle, some specific branches of the army can't master those skills without a certain level of cultural literacy, such as artillery and pilots. I thought that if the war worsened, the higher authorities would definitely recruit student soldiers, and I was just one step ahead. When Tang Cheng spoke, he kept paying attention to Zhang Jianghe's reaction with the corner of his eye, and the reminder in his words was not obvious, it depended on whether Zhang Jianghe could react.

The appearance of Luo Ji Tavern means that Zhang Jianghe, who has lost contact with his superiors for a long time, must be in contact with his superiors. Tang Cheng couldn't directly reveal the information he had to Zhang Jianghe, so he could only remind Zhang Jianghe through this kind of verbal suggestion, just like at this moment Tang Cheng mentioned to Zhang Jianghe the importance of training student reserves in advance. Zhang Jianghe's eyes flickered, obviously he had thought of something, Tang Cheng smiled secretly in his heart when he saw this, but nothing was revealed on his face.

Training students is not an easy task, especially when there are many rich children among these students. The instructors sent by the garrison regiment, after several conflicts with the students, were only interested in training these students in the marching drills, and as for the rest, they were all thrown to Tang Cheng, the initiator. More than 300 students volunteered to receive military training, and as the training began, more and more came from other places, and by the time Tang Cheng officially took over the training camp, there were already more than 400 students in the student camp.

The situation was very good, but Tang Cheng's heart was already extremely tired, and after taking over the training camp, he finally understood that Zhang Jianghe's reminder that day was not superfluous. It's really hard to manage the students, especially when there are more than 100 female students mixed in with these more than 400 students. In desperation, Tang Cheng made a decision, for which he went to Wang Bingzhang. "That's a good thing!" Wang Bingzhang, who learned of Tang Cheng's intentions, immediately expressed his support for Tang Cheng's suggestion, "As long as you are fighting, things like first-aid kits are necessities." ”

Tang Cheng couldn't train more than 100 female students like men, so he had to find another way to separate these more than 100 female students and set up a small first-aid kit production workshop. The first-aid kits to be produced by Tangcheng are not quite the same as the military first-aid kits distributed in the army, which contain morphine, a Western medicine preparation, while the first-aid kits to be produced by Tangcheng are used in traditional Chinese medicine preparations. Since calling Chongqing, Tang Cheng has obtained all kinds of things from the lottery in the system, including tobacco, alcohol and drinks, daily necessities, and a first-aid kit using traditional Chinese medicine preparations to make steps and formulas.

Tang Cheng originally planned to use a third party to transfer this thing to Zhang Jianghe or the Chongqing underground party, but now Tang Cheng changed his mind, and he planned to make this first-aid kit using traditional Chinese medicine preparations available in advance. Traditional Chinese medicine has been practiced in China for thousands of years, and Chinese medicine is widely cultivated in southwest China, compared with the chemically synthesized Western medicines popular in the Western world, Chinese medicine preparations are not only cheaper, but also Chinese seem to be more accepting of the use of Chinese medicine.

Seeing that Wang Bingzhang clearly expressed his support for himself, Tang Cheng no longer concealed his intentions, "Wang Ju, even if the first aid kit starts to be produced, it will also need financial support and preparation time. You are a native of Chongqing, with a high position and a wide range of people, this first-aid kit production factory, I plan to cooperate with famous businessmen in the city in the name of a student training camp..."Before Tang Cheng's words were finished, Wang Bingzhang already understood Tang Cheng's intention.

"Brother, do you mean that I should come forward and invite a well-known merchant in the city to come out and participate in this matter?" Wang Bingzhang was a little surprised by Tang Cheng's generosity at the moment, although the first aid kit is an inconspicuous object, but this thing is a small profit, and the capital required to produce this thing will not be very large. Tang Cheng took the initiative to cooperate with the merchants, which is clearly a move to take the initiative to make profits, in Wang Bingzhang's cognition, Tang Cheng is a stubborn man who recognizes money and does not recognize people, how can he suddenly open his mind?

"That's right, that's what I meant by coming today." Tang Cheng was blunt. "The traditional Chinese medicine preparations used in the first aid kit require some mechanical equipment and a lot of gauze, which is available in Shanghai. In this situation, it is impossible for people of our status to go to Shanghai, so we need a third party to go to Shanghai** equipment and gauze. If there is a risk, there is a benefit, and since I need my partners to take this risk, I naturally have to share the benefits with them. Besides, if this factory does not have the support of powerful people, I am worried that it will change in the future. ”

When Tang Cheng said the four words of a powerful person, he deliberately bit the sound of the words, and Wang Bingzhang understood at this moment, daring to love the merchants in the city that Tang Cheng said before was not talking about the real businessman, but the big man in the city. "That's right, that person is indeed a powerful person!" Wang Bingzhang, who knew in his heart, echoed his words, and at the same time gave Tang Cheng a thumbs up, saying that if he could think of pulling that person into the gang, Tang Cheng's mind was no one.

Wang Bingzhang and Tang Cheng are talking about the big man at this moment is naturally the warlord surnamed Liu who has been guarding Sichuan for many years, Liu Xiang has been in charge of Sichuan for nearly 20 years, and there are praises and disadvantages, but it cannot be denied that Liu Xiang's reputation in Sichuan is very high, otherwise he cannot be called the king of Sichuan by the chief committee member in Nanjing. When the war broke out in Shanghai, Tang Cheng knew that the time for the Sichuan army to go out of Sichuan to participate in the Anti-Japanese War was approaching, although the production of first-aid kits could not catch up with the days when the Sichuan army went out of Sichuan, but Tang Cheng knew that the Sichuan army was not only out of Sichuan.

Tang Cheng, who felt more and more that he was running out of time, hated to break himself into a few people to use, but the change in the state of affairs always made Tang Cheng feel that he couldn't catch up. On August 20, Liu Xiang, who returned from Nanjing, took office as the commander of the Second Route Reserve Army, and on August 26, he issued the "Letter to the Sichuan Kang Army and the People", announcing that the Sichuan army was about to go out of Sichuan to resist the war. In the film and television dramas and documentaries about the Sichuan army in later generations, Tang Cheng saw more than once the Sichuan officers and soldiers who went out of the Sichuan War of Resistance wore hats and straw sandals, and it had already snowed in Nanjing in December, but most of the Sichuan officers and soldiers who participated in the war were still wearing single clothes.

The Sichuan army's armament was not in order, and of course the central army deliberately made things difficult, but the preparation work of the Sichuan army itself was also greatly insufficient. After meeting with Wang Bingzhang that day, Tang Cheng used the strength of the investigation team to secretly join forces with the women in the city to collect military shoes and uniforms, and finally rushed out a large number of military shoes and uniforms for the troops out of Sichuan on August 29, when the various units of the Sichuan Army completed the reorganization of the army, including a batch of weapons and ammunition seized in the city during the two strike-hard operations.

Tang Cheng also handed over the matter of donating military shoes and uniforms to Wang Bingzhang to complete, and the weapons and ammunition were transferred to the logistics office of the Sichuan Army through Zhang Jianghe. After the Lugou Bridge Incident, Tang Cheng and several generals of the garrison regiment secretly mobilized grain from the surrounding areas and Yunnan to Chongqing.

The huge amount of grain storage made the people who participated in this plan miserable, but fortunately, the situation had deteriorated according to Tang Cheng's previous inference, and the others resumed their support for Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng didn't want to use this grain to make a fortune, he just wanted to use the means of storing grain in advance to curb the rise in grain prices in Chongqing. At the same time, he wants to use this grain channel to open a channel connecting Chongqing and Yunnan, so that he can do more things in the future.

On September 1, the Sichuan army after the whole training set off from Sichuan, with the appearance of Tang Cheng and the preparations he made in advance, although the Sichuan army at this time will still be regarded as the Huazi army by the wealthy Central Army, but the distribution of logistics materials of the Sichuan army has been greatly improved, at least there are many fewer soldiers wearing straw shoes. It is said that the people who saw off the Sichuan army lined up for dozens of miles, and Tang Cheng, who was depressed in his heart, did not see them off, but he asked the instructors in the training camp to take the students there, and through Wang Bingzhang's relationship, he picked a position for these secretly excited students to get close to those Sichuan officers and soldiers.
