In the blink of an eye, November came, Shanghai fell, and the Battle of Songhu ended.

The Nanjing Nationalist Government announced the relocation of the capital to Chongqing, and Liu Xiang welcomed it with both hands, and secretly united with Song Zheyuan and Han Fuyu, intending to block Lao Jiang from Kuimen and resolutely prevent the Central Army from entering Sichuan to seize territory.

Hu Shi was appointed by Lao Chiang as a special envoy to the United States, and he has been in the United States for three months, making great contributions to publicizing China's resistance against Japan and winning the support of the American people. A month ago, he and Mr. Wang were finally summoned by Roosevelt — Mr. Wang, who was watching the Olympics with Mr. Zhou, was reinstated as China's ambassador to the United States.

Hu Shih gave a detailed account of the situation in China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and pleaded with Roosevelt to abandon the idea of compromise, otherwise China would be defeated, and once China lost, the United States would lose the Far East and the Pacific Ocean, and the United States would help China to help itself.

Roosevelt expressed sympathy for China and reassured Hu Shih not to be pessimistic. He was very optimistic about China, he felt that China would win, and then continued to sell all kinds of strategic materials to Japan.

As a matter of fact, the task of the special envoy to the United States was originally wanted to ask Zhou Hexuan to carry out the mission. But Zhou Hexuan refused, because it was difficult for the gods to convince Roosevelt, instead of going to the United States to cry and beg, it was better to stay in Chongqing and do some serious things.

At the same time, Feng Yong also asked Hu Shi and Wang Zhengting to ask them to intercede in front of Roosevelt and drive the plane of the flying club back to China to participate in the war. At the beginning, Zhou Hexuan ordered a lot of advanced military planes, but the contract required that they should not be equipped with weapons or transported out of the United States.

Roosevelt responded by asking Feng Yong to contact the U.S. Department of Defense, which is still meeting to discuss the matter.

Feng Yong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, he wanted to take the pilot back to China to fight against Japan, but he knew that there were not enough planes in China, so he could only block the door of the Pentagon every day, and he was familiar with the Pentagon guards.

……

With a loud cry, the child in Liao Yaquan's belly fell to the ground.

is another big fat boy, Zhou Hexuan did not look for rules and regulations this time, but gave his son a very plain name - Xingguo, Zhou Xingguo.

Liao Yaquan turned his ears to what was going on outside the window and paid no attention to the ongoing Sino-Japanese war. She is now focusing all her energy on her youngest son, just waiting for the day when Japan will call Chongqing, and move to the United States or England in advance, for which she also takes time to make up for her English.

"Sir, call from Nanjing!" Yu Peichen walked quickly with a telegram.

Zhou Hexuan took the telegram, but it was sent by Luo Jialun, and the general content was that the Central University was about to be relocated, and the site was set at Songlinpo in Shapingba, Chongqing. Luo Jialun knew that Zhou Hexuan's father-in-law was engaged in real estate, and wanted to ask Zhou Hexuan to help find a construction team, and start construction as soon as Central University moved.

Zhou Hexuan said: "Reply to Principal Luo, and say that it will be done, please rest assured." ”

"Okay, I'll go right away." Yu Peichen turned around and left.

I have to say that Luo Jialun is really capable. In his hands, Tsinghua University transformed from a church school into a national university, and established a consistent school spirit for decades to come. In his hands, Central University became the university with the best internal relocation, the least loss, and the earliest resumption of classes during the Anti-Japanese War.

As early as May 1935, Luo Jialun inspected Sichuan in detail, believing that Chongqing was steep in mountains and rivers, rich in products, and was the transportation center of the southwest, so he set the site of the Central University in Songlinpo, Chongqing. Last year, when Sino-Japanese relations became more tense, Luo Jialun instructed the school's logistics department to rush to make a large number of wooden boxes, which were not known to the teachers and students at the time.

When the Battle of Songhu was in full swing, Luo Jialun organized teachers and students to pack the school's belongings into boxes and move them from Nanjing to Chongqing in batches.

At this time, many people still felt that maybe the Battle of Songhu could be like the 128th a few years ago, and it would end soon after the Lie's emphasis was stopped. It happened that the German ambassador to China, Toddmann, was mediating the Sino-Japanese war, so some teachers and students of the Central University gave Luo Jialun a nickname, "Toddmann's brother - escape quickly".

It was not until the Nanjing Nationalist Government announced the relocation of the capital that the teachers and students of the Central University were impressed and realized the foresight of their President Luo.

Some people describe the internal relocation of Chung-Ang University as "chickens and dogs are not left". Not only were the high-quality poultry and livestock from the College of Agriculture taken away, but also 24 corpses used for autopsy by the medical school, which were soaked in formalin all the way to their new home in Chongqing.

At the end of November, while other universities in Nanjing were still discussing whether and how to relocate, the first batch of teachers and students from Central University had arrived in Chongqing. Since the construction of the new school building had not yet begun, these teachers and students temporarily borrowed the school building of Chongqing University and resumed classes without a day's delay.

Early December.

Nanjing, Central University.

Luo Jialun was the last group to leave Nanjing, and when he inspected the campus again, he was very happy to see that all the personnel, equipment, and property of the whole school were already half empty.

When he walked to the Agricultural College, he saw that the high-quality poultry in the ranch were still there, and immediately called the ranch staff: "A few of you, dispose of these pigs, cattle and sheep, or eat, sell, or take them home to raise, as long as it doesn't fall into the hands of the Japanese invaders, Lao Tzu will give the little devil a single hair!" ”

The poultry and livestock in the pasture of the College of Agriculture are all of good breeds, and one male and one female of each sample have been taken away, and these are the leftovers of the selection.

The four ranch workers were all ordinary people, the youngest was in his forties, although he didn't recognize a few words, but what he said surprised Luo Jialun.

Wu Qian said: "Principal Luo, some of these high-quality breeds of livestock have been cultivated by teachers and classmates for many years, and some are bought by the state from foreigners with foreign exchange, all of which are treasures of the school, and it is a pity to lose them." ”

"Yes," Cao Zhanting echoed, "The teacher and the students went to Chongqing this time, and they only brought one male and one female with each of them, and they couldn't do animal experiments in the future, so they had to be cultivated slowly." ”

Yuan Weimin said: "I also blame the reluctance." ”

Wang Youting said: "Principal Luo, it's better to take all the livestock to Chongqing, and let us take care of it." ”

Luo Jialun smiled bitterly: "Now the residents of Nanjing are moving on a large scale, and they can't even get on the boat, let alone so many livestock." ”

Wang Youting has gray hair, is honest, and usually doesn't say much, but at this moment he said categorically: "Principal Luo, I promise you that you will definitely bring these high-quality livestock to Chongqing, and never throw them away, let alone stay for cheap Japanese devils!" ”

Luo Jialun was noncommittal about this, and left with a smile, thinking that the four ranch workers were just talking and playing.

The four workers took it seriously, they elected the eldest Wang Youting as the leader, paid for overtime to make wooden cages, put chickens, ducks, dogs, rabbits and the like into the cages, and put the wooden cages on horses, cows, pigs, and sheep, and drove the livestock to board the four wooden boats.

On the night before the Japanese launched a general attack on Nanjing, the four men left in a hurry in a wooden boat.

At this time, the Japanese invaders had already surrounded the southeast, south, and west sides of the city of Nanjing, and they could only make a detour from the north, and encountered Japanese planes bombing Chinese ships halfway, so they abandoned the ships and landed on the shore, driving their livestock to the mountainous areas of central Anhui. In order to escape the war, they first went north to Henan, and then turned back into Hubei, eating and sleeping in the open along the way, which was extremely difficult.

In Xuchang, it was snowing heavily and the weather was freezing, although every effort was made to protect them, some rabbits were still frozen to death, and the four workers cried in pain. Of course, there were also happy things, two Dutch cows gave birth to two live calves on the way.

When they came to Wuhan with the animal army, the Japanese invaders also attacked Wuhan, so they had to hurriedly march towards Yichang. Their patriotic deeds touched the local people, and they were sent on the ship for free, and they could finally take the boat to Chongqing with confidence.

When the four of them met Luo Jialun again, it had been nearly a year and they had traveled thousands of miles across the provinces.

Luo Jialun looked at the four workers who had gone through the weather, unkempt and ragged clothes, as well as the high-quality livestock with a few dead rabbits and two more calves, and was so excited that he burst into tears, and immediately organized all the teachers and students of the school to welcome the heroes home.

This is the story of Chung-Ang University's internal relocation of "chickens and dogs are not left".
