"With a fearless spirit, we will fight for a long time, and we will uphold justice by depressing violence, so as to protect the personality of the country and fight for the survival of the nation......"

The above passage was said by Chang Kaishen when he decided to move the capital to Luoyang, which sounds exciting, but behind the scenes, it is terrible. Whether it is Chang Kaishen or Wang Zhaoming, they all wish to end the "Battle of Songhu" as soon as possible.

The central government has run out of money, and President Lin Sen even sent a telegram to the whole country in early February: "From now on, all those who serve in various organs of the state government will stop their salaries and will only be paid a certain amount of living expenses every month to maintain their personal lives." ”

It is a pity that those grassroots civil servants in the Republic of China who have no outside water can't even get their salaries, and even basic living expenses have to be paid "discretionary".

The central government has been fighting wars for many years, and then there are nationwide floods, no inventory, no taxes, and it is hellish to be rich if you can have money!

The people of Luoyang had even more headaches, and a sudden disaster fell from the sky, and the central government was about to move the capital over for some reason. With so many people moving in at once, the city streets were crowded, and the prices of goods soared due to the inability of materials to keep up, and the income of the people at the bottom could not afford to buy grain and rice.

The bad idea of moving the capital to Luoyang was proposed by Zhang Ji, the old guy, and Chang Kaishen agreed without much thought.

The first relocation of the capital was carried out at the beginning of the Japanese army's attack on Shanghai. The 19th Route Army was still fighting in Songhu, and the central government headed by Chang Kaishen began to run away, and it could even be described as "fleeing in a hurry", and even the important documents of the central government did not have time to be sorted out and packed, and they were transported to Luoyang by train in a bundle of sacks.

The Japanese army only attacked Shanghai for a few days, and the Nanjing government fled to Luoyang in a swarm.

In the past two months, Chang Kaishen, Wang Zhaoming, Song Ziwen and others, they did not dare to stay in Nanjing for a long time, and lived on a train and went back and forth on the Longhai line. Luoyang today, Zhengzhou tomorrow, Kaifeng and Xuzhou the day after tomorrow, or suddenly appear in Shanghai and Nanjing.

No one knew what they were up to, and some simply jokingly called it the "National Government on the Train".

With this panicked attitude of the central government, if the Japanese army attacked desperately, I am afraid that East China and South China would be easily occupied by Japan, just like Northeast China.

said that Zhang Xueliang had no backbone and abandoned the Northeast without letting go of a shot, but in fact, Chang Kaishen was not much better. The eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother, everyone is very similar.

Fortunately, the Japanese devils were not fully prepared to invade China. As early as the beginning of March, the Japanese army declared an armistice under the mediation of Britain, France and the United States, and did not further invade Shanghai.

Even so, Chang Kaishen did not dare to relax - the Japanese army had not withdrawn its troops yet. Although he vaguely felt the true intentions of the Japanese, he was still not sure, for fear that little Japan would not give face to the powers if it went crazy.

As a result, the work of moving the capital to Luoyang has been going on.

Now the central organs have almost moved over, crowded in Luoyang City, Nanjing only He Yingqin is left to maintain military and law and order, Luo Wengan presides over foreign affairs, and Chen Gongbo, Minister of Industry, and Chen Mingshu, commander of the garrison, handle related affairs.

As for President Lin Sen, he stayed in Luoyang with peace of mind, he didn't want to toss when he was old, and he loved it.

Speaking of our President Lin, the dignified head of state, he is good at "ruling by inaction". Chen Jiji was appointed by Lin Sen as the commander of the Luoyang garrison, and he came to thank him happily, but Lin Sen avoided it and asked the secretary to pass the word: "The military attache will go directly to see Chang Kaishen, and the civil official will go directly to see Wang Zhaoming, don't come to me." ”

You see, how good Chairman Lin is to be a shopkeeper, and he has won the essence of Huang Laozhi's learning.

……

Zhou Hexuan took the train along the Longhai Line to Luoyang, only to see that the railway station was crowded with people, and all the central organs and governments at all levels moved here. Although Nanjing is still the capital, most of the military and political personnel have moved to accompany the capital Luoyang, and the current situation is as chaotic as a vegetable market.

Zhou Hexuan waited stupidly at the train station for a long time, but he didn't call a rickshaw. Because there were so many people, it was not easy to find an empty car, and immediately more than a dozen customers scrambled for it, and the rickshaw driver in Luoyang had a good business.

"Brother Zhou, you are also coming to Luoyang!" Suddenly, someone shouted.

Zhou Hexuan looked back, but it was Huang Jinrong, the boss of the Shanghai Youth Gang, and he immediately smiled: "Boss Huang, long time no see!" ”

Huang Jinrong smiled and introduced his companions: "Brother Zhou, this is Mr. Wang Xiaolai, Chairman of the National Chamber of Commerce and a member of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Anti-Japanese Association from all walks of life. ”

Zhou Hexuan hugged his fists and said: "It turned out to be Mr. Wang, look up for a long time!" ”

"Mr. Zhou said that he laughed, it should be that I have admired you for a long time." Wang Xiaolai laughed.

Wang Xiaolai was born as a scholar, participated in the Restoration Society, and later opened many yarn factories in business, and became a well-known figure in Shanghai's business circles. However, he is secretly a big hooligan of the Green Gang, who has close contacts with Chang Kaishen, Chen Qimei and others, and belongs to a well-known figure in Shanghai's political and business circles and gangster circles.

This time, a meeting was held in Luoyang on national disasters, mainly to discuss the issues of national salvation and disaster relief, and representatives of all walks of life across the country were invited, which had the flavor of a meeting of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

It's just that big hooligans like Huang Jinrong and Wang Xiaolai all came to the meeting, what kind of national disaster meeting is this?

"Hey, that's Sun Xiucai?" Huang Jinrong pointed to the distance and said.

Wang Xiaolai looked back, and was immediately a little unhappy, and cursed: "This person is also embarrassed to come to the opening meeting?" ”

The "Sun Xiucai" mentioned by Huang Jinrong is the great warlord Sun Chuanfang who has gone into the wilderness. When Wang Xiaolai supported the Northern Expedition, he was wanted by Sun Chuanfang, so the two were very inseparable.

Not only Sun Chuanfang came, but Wu Peifu and many "Yugong" in Tianjin came. They are nominally here to "jointly relieve the country's difficulties", but in fact, they are under the banner of patriotism and want to take the opportunity to regain benefits from the mountains.

Now that the big warlords and big hooligans are gathered in Luoyang, this place is simply a group of demons dancing wildly, and Zhou Hexuan has some interest in watching a good show.

After a long time, Zhou Hexuan, Huang Jinrong and others finally came to Luoyang City.

In Luoyang in the 30s, the ancient buildings were preserved extremely intact, making people feel as if they had traveled back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. However, Luoyang is the provincial capital of Henan after all, and after Wu Peifu, Feng Yuxiang and others vigorously developed, it already has airports, railways, barracks and other facilities, and occasionally one or two modern buildings are mixed in the ancient city, which is indescribably weird.

The central government has specially arranged hotels for those attending the national disaster conference, and Zhou Hexuan met many well-known people here.

For example, Hu Shi came, and his status is still very high, equivalent to the No. 1 conference representative in the cultural circle. In addition, there are many democratic parties and people from all walks of life, everyone is drinking and playing mahjong in the hotel, how can they be noisy and noisy for half a day to encounter a national disaster?
