Han Li before leaving Nanjing.

Naturally, there is still a lot to do.

The first thing he did was to go to the airport again in person, to see the construction of the arsenal, to see the repair of the airport, and basically to work step by step.

The staff found by Chen Fang are also quickly renovating the power plant, setting up power lines and laying power poles, and everything is fine.

Only then did Han Li leave satisfied, and he was relieved to hand over this place to Long Wenwen.

The 5,000 soldiers and horses of Long Wenwen are now all the troops of the entire city of Nanjing, and 1,000 are arranged near the airport, and in other directions, there are basically 1,000 in one place.

Defend the entire city of Nanjing.

This is not enough.

Han Li let Zhou Weiguo be responsible for recruiting troops, preferably those who had been soldiers, whether it was a rout, a deserter, or a northeast army, a northwest army, or a national army, anyway, if he was willing to pick up a gun again.

Recruits are OK too.

Give it to the veteran to train.

One time response is innumerable.

Under Han Li's prestige, there were a lot of people who signed up, and there were a lot of people coming from various cities, with a total number of more than 100,000, and they had to be screened.

Han Li now had the opportunity to have 50,000 group weapons, so he set the number at 50,000, and left the rest to Zhou Weiguo to take full responsibility.

Zhou Weiguo is cautious and has a very good set of leading troops.

Li Yunlong and Milong had already opened, so naturally they had nothing to say, so they responded and began to get busy.

And among these people, there are some acquaintances.

Sichuan Shu robe brother Zhang Haitian.

Zhang Haitian was very famous in South China, and he recruited more than 3,000 people these days, and later heard that they had come to defect to Han Li.

Some bandits who originally had a bad relationship with Zhang Haitian also came over.

The number reached 10,000.

Hei pressed and carried all kinds of guns to Nanjing City, and when he saw Han Li, he came up and said: "General Han, I am fortunate not to be dishonored, and I have recruited more than 10,000 troops, take a look." ”

I'm very proud.

With so many people, it is enough to be a warlord on one side of the hegemony in the era of warlord melee.

Han Li looked at it, the number of people was too mixed, he couldn't look down on it, and the number of people was enough, so he said, "You people, there is not a single one left, all of them will go to Li Yunlong and Milong, just say what I said, go and help them." ”

"Ahh

Zhang Haitian was unhappy and wanted to follow Han Li.

Han Li had already made up his mind, "If you want to follow me, obey the assignment, and when you get there, Li Yunlong will settle you down." ”

"Okay."

Zhang Haitian had to take people away.

This is just a microcosm, illustrating how many people defected to Han Li, and it is conceivable that they will inevitably be strong in the future, preparing for the next main task, the recovery of Shanghai.

That's right.

Han Li completed the main quest to defend the city of Nanjing, gaining a summoning privilege that he never expected, but at the same time, a new main quest also appeared.

That is to regain Shanghai.

The first step is to recruit troops and have 100,000 troops.

This was also the reason why Han Li asked Zhou Weiguo to recruit troops, to prepare for the recovery of Shanghai.

As for other things.

Han Lile met with representatives from all walks of life in Nanjing City again.

There are businessmen, local landlords, gentry who have been influential in Nanjing for more than ten generations, and educators, all of whom are here anyway.

On the Purple Mountain.

Together.

The crowd also raised money to make a marble stele nearly three meters high and one meter wide.

At this time, a white-bearded hunchbacked old man stood in front of the monument and said excitedly: "The east neighbor is the night army, the west neighbor is Xiao Shangguan, one is sad to part, and the other is a confidant." How different are the joys and sorrows, one danger after another, send a message to the benefactor, don't sigh for the difficulty of joining the army. ”

Old man: "Wow! He dragged down the stele.

It is densely written about the process of the defense of Nanjing, from the breaking of the defense line, the fall of Nanjing, to the counterattack, the complete victory, no matter how big or small, all are written.

This is interviewed by a lot of people.

The results obtained.

It can be said that the chapter is written on Han Li's merits.

The old man continued: "General Han, it is difficult to join the army, but he is no longer a husband, and it can be said that the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will not return once he is gone, and the city of Nanjing can be preserved, thanks to General Han leading thousands of soldiers to throw their heads and spill their blood, in exchange." The 700,000 people of Nanjing City, as well as the thousands of descendants in the future, will inevitably remember General Han's name and these soldiers who died in battle, and they will also remember General Han's kindness. ”

Just kowtow.

The other people around also knelt down one after another, and they wanted to bow down to their parents and bow down to Han Li, "General Han, for the country and the people, and heroes." ”

"General Han is the reborn parent of Nanjing City, General Han, we will never forget."

"General Han, we bow down to you."

"Bang!" "Bang!" Kowtow one by one.

The people of this era still retain the customs of the former Qing Dynasty.

Han Li stood in the center, looking at the stone stele, looking at the old gentleman's impassionedness, looking at the people who were kneeling, and knew in his heart that this was not kneeling to himself, but kneeling to those who died in battle.

In this battle, even if they lose their lives in school, no one knows what they are called, where they are from, and who their parents are.

At this time, there was only one of his own names, which was written on the merit tablet.

Han Li held the old man's hand and beckoned everyone to get up, "It shouldn't be me who bows down, but those heroic souls who died in battle, those creatures who have been devastated, and finally the conscience of the world. ”

“······”

The audience went down.

He looked at Han Li with a blank look.

Han Li laughed, "Everyone, get up, I, Han Li, have made a note, this Nanjing City will definitely not be attacked by the Japanese army again in the future, I am here, the city is here, I am dead, and the city is also there." ”

"Whoa!" Applause rang out instantly.

"General Han, mighty."

"General Han, mighty."

"General Han, mighty."

For a while, the shouts shook the sky and resounded throughout the Purple Mountain.

Han Li's merit monument will stand here.

This battle will forever be written into the history of this era and will never change again.

Han Li was very excited, and deep down he was proud of himself.

As for the last time, a farce transferred almost all the people of Nanjing City, which can be regarded as a case for emergencies, and at this moment, come back safely.

The city of Nanjing is full of ruins and broken walls, which need to be repaired.

Many wealthy families have begun to take out money to renovate the streets and repair their houses, and there are many wealthy businessmen with a conscience who resist the Japanese and donate rice and noodles to Han Li at high prices from other places.

Han Li didn't stay, and gave it all to the local residents.

Chen Fang is already responsible for their supplies, so they no longer need to worry about it at all, and many forces that are united in the military and the people have also sent supplies.

The poor people leased from Shanghai, the wealthy businessmen, and even the overseas Chinese from Malay, as well as the merchants from Shanxi, are sending everything they can to this side anyway.

The materials can be said to be piled up, and you can put it away.

Han Li was fortunate to be a great benevolent person, and donated as much as possible, and the entire city of Nanjing was also completely new at this time, bursting out with new vitality again.

Han Li looked very happy, and then said: "Nanjing City has just been baptized by the Japanese devils, everywhere needs to be renovated, the power of ** is limited after all, it must be put on the war, Nanjing City will depend on you in the future, strive for me to meet Chairman Jiang from Wuhan, I can see brand new streets, renovated houses, no longer people have no fixed residence, no more people are hungry and cold, no longer dilapidated streets, no longer dilapidated houses." ”

Give them one by one.

The wealthy merchants and gentry present immediately agreed, "General Han, don't worry, we will definitely abide by General Han's church and work hard to do all this." ”

"Yes, we will do our best to build a new Nanjing City."

"General Han, don't worry, Nanjing is our home, and we will definitely satisfy you."

For a while, the nods kept on, and there should be countless of them.

Han Li was overjoyed.

And such a meeting.

Han Li participated in three sessions, each time it was crowded, each time he was scrambling to meet Han Li, and each time there were gifts.

From the merit tablet to the umbrella of the people, or the thousands of blood books, anyway, they expressed their gratitude to Han Li, and they could also be seen through their eyes that they were all in awe and full of expectations for Han Li.

Han Li can be regarded as having truly gained a firm foothold in this era.
