(PS: After this chapter, there are a few more postscripts.) ）

Early morning.

Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin were walking in the garden, while Zhang Leyi, Meng Xiaodong and other women were chatting over morning tea. The children have finished practicing martial arts, carrying their schoolbags and walking to the riverside, and the blind Ah Bing is pulling the erhu as always.

Zhu Guozhen commanded the servants to carry two large boxes downstairs, and when he passed by the garden, Liang Sicheng asked with a smile: "Brother Mingcheng, is this moving?" ”

"Some information." Zhou Hexuan said.

"Historical scholarly materials?" Lin Huiyin asked.

Zhou Hexuan said with a serious expression: "Information on Japan's war crimes committed in China. Since the '918 Incident', I have secretly asked people to collect evidence, and I have accumulated two large boxes in more than ten years. The International Military Tribunal for the Far East is about to start, and I will send it to the prosecutors. ”

Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin immediately put away their smiles, and Liang Sicheng asked, "Can I take a look?" ”

"Let's look at it in the car, the time is a little tight, and Prosecutor Xiang will take a boat to Shanghai in the afternoon." Zhou Hexuan said.

The two set off from the back gate of the Zhou Mansion and took a car to the hotel where Xiang Zhejun was staying. Xiang Zhejun went to Shanghai with his family after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and was ordered to return to Chongqing half a month ago to form a Chinese delegation to the Far East Military Tribunal with Mei Ru.

Mei Ru served as a Chinese judge in the Tokyo trial and was responsible for the overall situation. As a Chinese prosecutor at the Tokyo trial, one of Xiang Zhejun's jobs was to collect evidence, and this information was the most suitable for him.

Liang Sicheng sat in the car, and after only reading a few documents, he was depressed, closed his eyes and did not speak again.

Soon arrived at the Guanyin Bridge, Zhou Hexuan found Mei Ru and Xiang Zhejun in the hotel: "Mr. Judge, the things are here." ”

"These?" Mei Ru and Xiang Zhejun were very surprised.

Zhou Hexuan said: "There are three kinds of information. The first is written materials, including newspaper news, oral accounts of victims, and oral accounts of witnesses; the second is photographic information, accompanied by captions and eyewitness testimony; The third type is video material, which is also accompanied by eyewitness testimony. A small part of them, there are also witness information and signatures. ”

Xiang Zhejun said excitedly: "It's very comprehensive, it would be better if you could find a witness to appear in court!" ”

"There were 200 minutes of film in the box, and in addition to the footage of the Nanjing Massacre, I also recorded the testimonies of many American missionaries and their families," Zhou said. Most of these American witnesses are still alive, and you can invite them to testify in court. They witnessed not only the Nanjing Massacre, but also other atrocities committed by the Japanese army in Shanghai, Wuhan, Guangzhou, and the Nanjing area. ”

"Great, great!" Xiang Zhejun was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

One of the daunting tasks of the Tokyo trial was the search for evidence, and even more difficult than the search for evidence was the search for witnesses to appear in court. Historically, Xiang Zhejun traveled all over the occupied area, which lasted for two years, not only found a large amount of evidence, but also successfully persuaded Pu Yi and others to testify in court.

Zhou Hexuan said: "These materials are handed over to you, but I have a request. ”

Mei Ru said: "Please speak." ”

"When the trial is over, I want copies of all trial records and manuscript documents." Zhou Hexuan said.

"No problem." Mei Ru Road.

Historically, Xiang Zhejun collected two large boxes of trial records and manuscript documents, and prepared to bring them back to China to report on his work. As a result, the Kuomintang was busy fighting the civil war, and after these precious materials were sent to the government, they were placed in a corner and left unattended, and finally disappeared.

If these two large boxes of trial materials are there, if the Japanese dare not admit the crime of invading China in the future, Zhou Hexuan can take them out at any time and slap them in the face.

Xiang Zhejun put an iron lock on the box and let his subordinates keep it. Then, he and Mei Ruzheng bowed to Zhou Hexuan in unison and saluted: "Mr. Zhou, on behalf of the entire Chinese people, we would like to thank you for your contributions!" ”

Zhou Hexuan stood in place and took their bow, then shook hands and said, "Please two, you must seek justice for the Chinese!" ”

"Do your best, do your best!" The two clasped Zhou Hexuan's hands.

On the way back to the Zhou Mansion, Liang Sicheng asked, "What are Brother Mingcheng's plans in the future?" ”

"I'm going to settle in Hong Kong." Zhou Hexuan said.

"Why?" Liang Sicheng was quite surprised that Hong Kong today is a poor and remote place in the eyes of most Chinese people, without the slightest cultural and progressive atmosphere.

Zhou Hexuan said truthfully: "A full-scale civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is inevitable, and I think the Communist Party will win." I agree with their doctrine, but I also have my own considerations, and settling in Hong Kong is the best option. ”

Liang Sicheng was silent for a moment and said: "If the Communist Party can really win quickly, it will not lose a good result." It is feared that the civil war will be endless, neither side will be able to win, and China will once again be politically divided. ”

"Soon, don't worry." Zhou Hexuan did not persuade Liang Sicheng to go to Hong Kong, because the other party had his own choice.

"I hope so." Liang Sicheng sighed.

……

On the eve of the Spring Festival, Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin went to Kunming to catch up with old friends from Southwest Associated University.

Although the Anti-Japanese War has been won, the Southwest Associated University still exists, and it will not move back to Tianjin and Beiping until the end of the academic year. I don't know where Mei Yiqi got the money, but she actually gave each teacher and student 150,000 fiat dollars for the travel expenses, and then set off in a car transporting refugees. Students who have not graduated can choose to continue their studies at Tsinghua University, Peking University or Nankai University.

Zhou Hexuan stayed in Chongqing for the New Year, and the hilltop villa in Hong Kong is still under repair, and it is estimated that it will take more than half a year to repair.

In the summer of 1946, Hu Shi also returned to China. He had just attended a meeting of the United Nations Scientific and Cultural Organization in London and had participated in the development of its charter.

This guy first participated in the return ceremony in Nanjing, and then came to Chongqing to visit old friends. When meeting Zhou Hexuan, Hu Shi sighed and sighed when he talked about the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and then he went to Peking University to become the president.

In the golden autumn, Zhou Hexuan was invited to the Tokyo International Court of Justice to attend a trial of war criminals.

Because some of the information he gave, although there are eyewitness testimonies and signatures, no witnesses and victims can be found. These documents can be used as reference materials during the trial, and since they were issued by Zhou Hexuan, he must state the specific circumstances to the judge and swear that he did not lie or falsify.

When passing through Shanghai, Zhou Hexuan met his old friend Li Shoumin. Although he tried his best to invite Li Shoumin to go to Hong Kong with him, Li Shoumin was unwilling, and "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" still seemed to be a eunuch.

In addition to Li Shoumin, Zhou Hexuan also met Xue Dian in Shanghai.

To be honest, Xue Dian's behavior during the Anti-Japanese War was very bad, because he joined the "One X Dao". Xue Dian himself did not act as a traitor, but "One X Dao" was a lackey of the Japanese invaders, preaching the end of the world, and believing that Japan's invasion of China was reshaping the world.

Funnily enough, after the Japanese withdrew from China, the "One X Road" turned into a lackey of the Nationalist Government.

Today, the "One X Dao" is frantically preaching throughout the country, and the number of believers has grown to more than 200,000. Because of his outstanding martial arts, Xue Dian was once praised as the chief shopkeeper of Shanxi, claiming that Emperor Guan was descending to earth, and he came to Shanghai this time to engage in "academic exchanges" within the church.

Seeing Zhou Hexuan, Xue Dian actually encouraged him to join the church, and was scolded by Zhou Hexuan.

When Li Shoumin was imprisoned by the Japanese army, Xue Dian also came to the rescue, and Zhou Hexuan still said a few more words. He persuaded Xue Dian to quickly withdraw from the "One X Dao", saying that no matter which side of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party sit in the world, this Daomen organization is a big trouble for the government, and if it stays inside, it will inevitably end miserably.

The two parted unhappily.

It wasn't until a few years later that Xue Dian recalled Zhou Hexuan's words and felt that the future was not good, and fled to Hong Kong, and founded a sect with the support of Zhou Hexuan.

From autumn to winter, Zhou stayed in Tokyo.

To tell the truth, Tokyo at this time was even worse than Chongqing during the Anti-Japanese War, and most of the city was almost in ruins.

At that time, the Japanese government shouted the slogan of "100 million people have broken jade" and requisitioned the last rations of the people of the whole country. When Japan surrendered, these grains were neither sent to the front line as military rations, nor returned to the Japanese people, but were hidden in warehouses and disappeared.

The Japanese civilians had nothing to eat at all, and the elite took the opportunity to sell grain at a high price on the black market, and that day was miserable.

After Zhou Hexuan came to Japan, he quickly made friends with His Majesty MacArthur, the "Emperor of the Emperor".

The next thing is easy to do, the first thing Zhou Hexuan did was not to buy land in Tokyo, but to transfer dollars to buy Japanese companies.

After the war, Japan's major conglomerates were all forced to break up and become scattered with hundreds of companies and factories. Including Mitsubishi, Sumitomo and other consortium spun off companies, Zhou Hexuan invested in 42 companies in one go, accounting for 10% to 30% of each company's shares.

These consortia were forced to break up, their future was uncertain, they were starved of funds, and they were losing money every day. In the face of Zhou Hexuan's waving US dollars to invest, they expressed great welcome, and from the business community to the political circles, they had great respect for Zhou Hexuan.

Until the outbreak of the Korean War, when the United States no longer suppressed Japan, these dismantled companies were formed again and again. At that time, Zhou Hexuan had shares in Japan's six major consortia, and although the proportion of shares was not high, it should not be underestimated.

At the same time, Zhou Hexuan was also invited to various lectures by the University of Tokyo, Waseda University and other schools.

He did not talk about anything else, but only talked about the pain caused by Japan's invasion of China to the Chinese, and then called for peace and opposition. Every time he gave a speech, Japanese teachers and students cried and bowed to Zhou Hexuan in repentance.

The Japanese nation is very nonsense, shouting jade shattering before surrendering, and after surrendering, they all become pacifists. They actively introspect, dumped the blame on the elements, and considered themselves innocent victims and forced to become accomplices.

In today's Japan, anti-war and peace have become politically correct. Whoever dared to visit the Yasukuni Shrine did not need to be protested by the Chinese at all, and was directly beaten to death by the Japanese people.

The funniest of all are the Koreans in Japan, who consider themselves citizens of the victorious country and pretend to be arrogant in Japan. There are often Koreans who extort and rob in Tokyo, and after being caught, they do not change their faces, but denounce the Japanese as war criminals, and he is getting back what he deserves.

Japan in the early post-war period was very interesting, peaceful, reflective, and really considered themselves sinners.

Look up, that's after the 70s. The economy is prosperous, they don't have to worry about food and clothing, they forget the pain when they get rid of their scars, and they even have to deny the history of aggression against China.

In the winter, Liao Yaquan also came to Tokyo with her two sons, she had been away from her hometown for many years, and she also wanted to return to China to see, and decided to stay for a long time.

Zhou Hexuan found that Liao Yaquan was bored in Japan, so he invested in building a new factory specializing in the production of instant noodles, and easily applied for a patent for instant noodles.

By the way, Zhou Hexuan also asked two Japanese pharmaceutical companies for sulfonamide patent fees, and with MacArthur's support, Japanese pharmaceutical companies did not dare to repay their debts. Because he really couldn't come up with the patent fee, Zhou Hexuan had no choice but to become a shareholder of two pharmaceutical companies.

The names of these two pharmaceutical companies, Takeda Pharmaceutical Industry Co., Ltd. and Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd., are the No. 1 and No. 2 pharmaceutical companies in Japan.

Zhou Hexuan felt that the other party was stingy, and actually only gave 3% of the shares, and he threw money in a fit of anger, occupying 10% and 15% of the shares of the two companies respectively.

At the end of 1946, Zhou Hexuan returned to Chongqing, and then moved to Hong Kong with his family.

Before leaving Chongqing, Zhou Hexuan also went to the Chongqing branch of Xinhua Daily and handed over his title deeds and house deeds in the mainland to the editor-in-chief. Two months later, the Chongqing branch of Xinhua Daily was forced to close, and the newspaper staff took all the things donated by Zhou Hexuan to Yan'an when they retreated north.

In May 1947, the Royal Academy of Arts awarded Zhou Hexuan the title of Academician, and in June, George VI personally awarded Zhou Hexuan the Order of the Garter.

The medal was requested by Zhou Hexuan on his own initiative, and wearing it on his body could ensure that the Hong Kong governor did not dare to mess around, and it was also a paving the way for smuggling embargoed materials to the mainland a few years later. He originally just wanted an ordinary medal, but he didn't expect George VI to give him a piece of the Order of the Garter.

The Order of the Garter is the highest honour of the various British decorations, awarded by the king himself, and the prime minister and the government have no right to intervene. The Order of the Garter is only allowed to have 25 living wearers, including the monarch, but the king can break it to give an excess.

The news that Zhou Hexuan was awarded the Order of the Garter caused a sensation throughout the United Kingdom. Some people think it's okay to do it, while others strongly disagree because it's too precious.

George VI turned a deaf ear and awarded the medal to Zhou Hexuan. On the one hand, he is more willful and does whatever he wants within the scope of his authority; On the other hand, it is also because Zhou Hexuan has promised that he will always live in Hong Kong in the future.

With a medal, let a world-class writer settle in the British colony, this deal seems to be a loss. At least, the British "Silver Fans" feel that they are not at a loss, and they don't have to worry about the serialization of "The Legend of the Galactic Heroes".

In fact, George VI also wanted to confer on Zhou Hexuan an honorary knighthood. But Zhou Hexuan didn't do it, not because he didn't want to be a knight, but because the knighthood ceremony had to kneel down to the king for allegiance, and Zhou Hexuan didn't have the habit of kneeling.

Zhou Hexuan's life has entered the Hong Kong era.
