readx; For Tang Shengming's arrival, Wang's puppet regime can be said to be overjoyed, and specially sent Pan Sanxing, a powerful figure who was calling for wind and rain in Shanghai at that time, to wait for his arrival at the dock in person!

Pan Sanxing is not an ordinary character, in Shanghai at that time, he opened several casinos, and several of the number one big men of the Wang puppet regime are iron buddies, it is difficult to see him once defeated, but it is such a character, on a gloomy afternoon in Shanghai, he waited at the Shanghai dock for several hours, specially to "welcome" Tang Shengming, a big man who defected from the rear of the Anti-Japanese War.

Pan Sanxing, Wang Ji and his wife got up early in the morning, instead of Wang Jingwei, Zhou Fohai and others, to welcome Tang Shengming, a distinguished guest who defected from Yucheng after the establishment of Wang's puppet regime.

At that time, Pan Sanxing was wearing a bowler hat and an azure soft satin gown, looking like a big boss.

In the luxury mansion at No. 2011 Anfu Road, Pansan Province, Pansan's wife Wang Ji wore her black tight-fitting cheongsam, showing a mature woman's slenderness and exquisiteness from a distance.

For the sake of safety, Li Shiqun, who was in the work of dividing the rule of the situation in the Wang puppet regime, arranged some plainclothes near the wharf on the Huangpu River.

Mr. and Mrs. Pan waited for hours at the Shanghai dock. The Hong Kong cruise ship finally approached the pier with a long sigh of whistle.

Tang Shengming took the bright Xu Lai and the child and slowly walked down the gangway. The couple of the three provinces greeted them with smiles on their faces.

At this time, Pan Sanxing, who was dressed in fat clothes, was eager to show Tang Shengming his rich life, so he deliberately placed Tang Shengming and his wife in his luxurious mansion at No. 2011 Anfu Road.

It is a fine two-storey building. The walls of the first floor are made of clear water red bricks, and the exterior walls of the second floor are changed to a kind of black cement brushing, which is a harmonious contrast caused by the architect's visual perception in order to pursue surprise.

On the west façade, there is also an ethereal, slender, and sharp red brick gable in the Gothic architectural style, which is displayed layer by layer like a delicate and soft skirt leaf of a woman's body. The entrance to the portico is a typical example of ancient Roman architecture. Some exquisite patterns carved on the arches, friezes, and door frames of the round arch doors in the porch seem to be trying to interpret the structural principles of "symmetry, balance, and propriety" of ancient Roman architecture.

The lawn garden around the house is dotted with stone carvings of a male lion and several young girls, which is also a good reflection of the architect's ingenuity in constructing this garden building.

Tang Shengming used to be a well-informed big player.

In some of China's metropolises, the Tang family purchased some garden buildings of different styles.

Tang Shengming approached this beautiful building, but he was not in a hurry to enter, but walked around the outside, looking it up and down, left and right with interest.

Pan Sanxing suddenly asked Tang Shengming a little nervously: "Brother Ji Li, what do you think of this house?" ”

Tang Shengming deliberately frowned and looked at it for a long time.

At the end, Tang Shengming grinned, slapped Pan Sanxing's shoulder, and said loudly: "Brother Xiya, the past two or three years have been prosperous, and the grade of this house is good." ”

In this way, Pan Sanxing let out a hearty laugh

According to the practice of receiving high-level defectors in the Wang puppet regime, the first step to get out of the hole was carried out by Li Shiqun of the Wang puppet No. 76 headquarters.

Shanghai International Hotel of the Republic of China is famous in the Far East Therefore, after a day of rest, Li Shiqun set up a sumptuous banquet at the Shanghai International Hotel to wash away the dust for Tang Shengming.

The topic between Li Shiqun and Tang Shengming started from some ups and downs in Shanghai in the past.

There are two eternal themes in men's conversations: surnames and politics. Tang Shengming used to be a young man in the red dust, chatting about the old things of Fengyue, he seemed to have a gushing topic, and Li Shiqun also showed a kind of appearance of getting together and hating late. However, later, Li Shiqun, who was drunk and happy, unknowingly shifted his tone to the brutal political struggle with the Kuomintang and [***] underground agents.

Li Shiqun sighed: "If Brother Ji Li is willing to help his brother, it will be like a tiger with wings." ”

Tang Shengming was silent. He was well versed in the procedures of officialdom and felt that it was too early to talk about these topics. Tang Shengming talked about it left and right, and cleverly diverted the topic.

Tang Shengming kept saying that he was tired of politics, and when he returned to Shanghai with his family, he wanted to drink a little wine with his old friends, listen to a few Kunqu operas, and spend a happy life of his own

Li Shiqun knew Tang Shengming's value, and he did have the idea of convincing Tang Shengming to submit and establish an ally for himself at first. Now, he understands the depth of the city behind Tang Shengming's apparent eating, drinking, and merrymaking. Therefore, Li Shiqun said to Tang Shengming with a grin: "Brother Ji Li is unwilling to offer his true form if he doesn't see the true Bodhisattva, and Brother Ji Li is really tight-lipped like a bottle." ”

Li Shiqun and Tang Shengming ate and drank together for four or five days, and he did not find anything suspicious about Tang Shengming.

Li Shiqun thought to himself that the Bodhisattva in his small temple was difficult to invite Tang Shengming, a great god, so he suggested that Wang Jingwei personally go out. In this way, Wang Jingwei asked Li Shiqun to tell Tang Shengming: "Please invite Ji Li to Nanjing for a meeting." ”

Tang Shengming still behaved quite politely, and he put out a look of embarrassment. Talk: His eldest brother and family are still in Yucheng, and he really has a lot of inconveniences, so he can't go to Nanjing for a while, and he also invites Chairman Wang Haihan. Next, Tang Shengming said that he returned to Shanghai as a home, not a political cliché, and asked Li Shiqun to bring it to Wang Jingwei in Nanjing.

Li Shiqun didn't bother to listen to Tang Shengming's nonsense. At this time, Shanghai Tang has become a kind of land of right and wrong with a tiger roaring and dragon pool, and China is so big that Shanghai is no longer the first choice for home.

Therefore, Li Shiqun acted as Wang Jingwei's mouthpiece. He persuaded Tang Shengming for more than two full days.

Later, Li Shiqun forced him with words: "No matter how much your brother Ji Li is tall, in this dark and windy situation, you can't hide in Shanghai, and you can't even see an old friend, right?" ”

In this way, after Tang Shengming deliberately detained in Shanghai for a period of time, Fang put on a dilemma, took his wife Xu Lai, accompanied by Li Shiqun and Ye Jiqing, and took a train from Shanghai to Nanjing to visit the old days.

Although Li Shiqun did not immediately achieve the goal of subduing Tang Shengming for his own use, a guy like Li Shiqun, at least from the scene, should belong to the type of outlaw who pays attention to grievances and vendetta in the rivers and lakes. He has no bad impression of Tang Shengming, who was born in a famous family. Coupled with Xu Lai's affinity attitude honed when he was a red star in Shanghai in the past, Xu Lai and Li Shiqun's tough wife Ye Jiqing soon walked together affectionately. Therefore, Li Shiqun warmly invited Tang Shengming and his wife to live in his mansion in Nanjing.

Li Shiqun felt that no matter how Tang Shengming said and retreated in the Nanjing officialdom in the future, Zhou Fohai, a first-class figure, would always have to meet first

Zhou Fohai held the post of Minister of Finance and Vice President of the Executive Yuan in the puppet regime of Wang in Nanjing at that time, and was Tang Shengming's Hunan hometown, as well as Tang Shengming's old colleague and superior. Tang Shengming immediately weighed out the heavy weight of Zhou Fohai in Wang's puppet regime from Li Shiqun's solemn tone.

Zhou Fohai Zhou Fohai was previously in the Whampoa Military Academy, and he had won the popular errand of secretary general and director of the Political Department, and his status in the Whampoa Department was not low. Readers who have been exposed to the history of the Republic of China should know that Chiang Kai-shek's foundation for fighting the country relied on the strong-blooded Whampoa Military Academy students. Therefore, in the later Jiang dynasty, all military and political cadres from the Huangpu department had the arrogance of a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and they had a pretentious self-determination wherever they went.

In the officialdom of the Republic of China, other disgraced factions of all walks of life once described the generals who were born in Huangpu as the "wearing yellow jackets" system given by the Ouchi Emperor.

Since Zhou Fohai has been in the position of the head of the 800,000 forbidden army in the Whampoa Military Academy, which is equivalent to the 800,000 forbidden army in the former Water Margin Liangshan Bozhi Lin Chong, Zhou Fohai has sat in the third position in Wang's pseudo-grass chicken political axe, as long as there are frustrated Whampoa soldiers who come to defect, Zhou Fohai will always put a chubby oil face and go forward to deliberately envelop and appease people. This is a piece of forbidden territory that Zhou Fohai regards as his own unique family, and only Wang Jingwei, who has the highest status in the Nanjing regime, can overpower him.

At that time, people like Xie Wenda, the commander of the Appeasement Army, who led the troops in the Wang puppet regime, Liu Qixiong, the chief captain of the officer training team, and Liu Zhi's nephew Liu Yi, were all members of the Huangpu family who came and went under Zhou Fohai's gate for a while.

It's just that on the whole, in the Wang puppet regime, there are not too many people from Chiang Kai-shek's Whampoa department, and a figure like Tang Shengming with a special family background seems to be rare and expensive.

Therefore, Tang Shengming's first stop when he arrived in Nanjing was to visit Zhou Fohai.

Zhou Fohai's surprise is not trivial

The luxurious banquet set up by Zhou Fohai in the Zhou Mansion is naturally not comparable to Li Shiqun, who was born in a reckless farmhouse. Just the scene of the characters who attended Zhou Fohai's banquet, in the patchwork regime of Wang Ji's rolling red dust, is already a genus of doves and crows.

I heard that Tang Shengming, the younger brother of the famous Tang Shengzhi, also secretly ran out of the mountain city of Yucheng, and many first-class big-name figures in the Wang puppet regime were excited and inexplicably ran to the Zhou Mansion to see the excitement. This kind of state of mind is probably similar to the Qinglou woman who has been rolling in the wind and dust for a long time, and suddenly heard that a chaste woman has joined the ranks of sisters, and she feels a lot of relief in her heart. At that time, Chen Gongbo, Mei Siping, Ye Peng, Luo Junqiang, Cen Deguang, Ding Mocun and others, as well as their flowery women came to the banquet with smiles.

It is said that Otsuka Kiyoshi Daisaku of the military police headquarters heard that a big fish had swam from the Jialing River in Yucheng, and he was also full of curiosity and ran to help the fun.

Although Otsuka Kiyoshi Daisa is doing the dirty work of the gendarme, he still belongs to a relatively mild kind of Chinese master in the series of Emperor Yuben [***] with the surname of the jackal. He speaks Mandarin with a straight and round Chinese accent full of Beijing flavor. Ordinary people can't tell from the accent that he is a person himself.

Otsuka Kiyoshi Dazuo saw that Tang Shengming, who was in his thirties, was very thoughtful, and the tone of his speech was not comparable to those characters from low-walled shallow houses. I was very happy in my heart. He frequently raised his glass to Tang Shengming.

Later, when the drinking was a little high, Otsuka Kiyoshi Dazuo suddenly "snapped" several times in a row, and gave Tang Shengming a series of combined military salutes. He stammered with his teeth touching his tongue and said to Tang Shengming: "It is really a privilege to be able to participate in the great cause of 'peace and salvation' and 'common prosperity in East Asia' with such an elegant figure as General Tang in Nanjing." ”

As for Chen Gongbo, Mei Siping, Ye Peng, Luo Junqiang and other actors who betray the country and seek glory, they are probably Tang Shengming's old acquaintances. Although everyone has done this dirty thing of betraying the country and pursuing glory and wealth, on the side of Yucheng, there are many people who think of the concerned people who weep. Therefore, everyone gathered around Tang Shengming to listen to the information of the high-level leaders in Yucheng, and Tang Shengming was the natural protagonist of this banquet

Chen Gongbo, one of the "Big Three" of Wang's puppet regime, Li Shiqun, passed on to Tang Shengming this trick to knock on the mountain and shock the master, which is really good.

On the second day of Zhou Fohai's banquet for Tang Shengming, Wang Jingwei couldn't hold himself back anymore.

He officially invited Tang Shengming and Xu Lai to a banquet. and told Li Shiqun to bring Tang Shengming to see him as soon as possible, so that their private meeting would be longer. Therefore, at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Shengming and Xu Lai came to the Wang Mansion at the entrance of Lane 36 of Yuyuan Road, where Wang Jingwei lived.

Lane 36 of Yuyuan Road is very long and very quiet. It has only one exit facing Yuyuan Road, so it is quite easy to defend.

After the establishment of Wang's puppet regime, the most influential figures in this team, such as Zhou Fohai, Chu Minyi, Mei Siping, Chen Chunpu, and Luo Junqiang, all lived in the small garden houses of more than ten schools in this alley.

When Tang Shengming went to Zhou Fohai Mansion for a banquet the day before, he had just walked through this alley. However, on this day, Tang Shengming went to meet the number one person in this puppet regime. Therefore, when the car gently ran over the layer of fallen leaves on the road surface, making a rustling sound, Tang Shengming's heart couldn't help but feel an inexplicable panic. Tang Shengming couldn't help but clench Xu Lai's little hand. Xu Lai smiled at Tang Shengming, and Tang Shengming's nerves suddenly tensed down.

At the beginning, in the political circles of the Republic of China, there was once a saying that there were four beautiful men in the Republic of China, and Wang Jingwei was one of them. Among them, the reason why Wang Jingwei ranks first among the four beautiful eyebrows is that Zhang Bojun once used a beautiful metaphor that borders on sadness: The most beautiful thing about Wang Jingwei lies in his eyes. Hu Shizhi also said that Wang's "eyes are chivalrous" and "the most durable".

However, the Wang Jingwei that Tang Shengming saw at this time was no longer the handsome instrument he was back then. At that time, this middle-aged man in his fifties had a deep tired look engraved on his face.

Tang Shengming walked in, and Wang Jingwei was already waiting for him in the living room. Tang Shengming gave him a standard military salute and said, "Chairman Wang is good." ”

Wang Jingwei stared at Tang Shengming silently for a while, such a graceful soldier was really rare in his patchwork regime. Wang Jingwei's haggard and pale face showed a smile, and he muttered, "You're here, it's good!" I hope that more of you, the students of Huangpu, will come and visit me, the teacher of the past. Together, we will reorganize our own army. ”

Zhou Fohai said that after seeing Tang Shengming a while ago, he had a very good impression of Tang Shengming. Therefore, before Wang and Tang met, they had already tried their best to recommend Tang Shengming to Wang Jingwei.

Wang Jingwei also worked at the Whampoa Military Academy in the past, and he held the position of party representative. Wang Jingwei heard that Tang Shengming was a student of the fourth phase of Whampoa, so at this moment he learned Chiang Kai-shek's style and raised the teacher's stand to Tang Shengming. Tang Shengming was originally a kind of interesting person with good looks, and he felt that Wang Jingwei's style also meant to show Li Shiqun who was sitting on the side. Tang Shengming immediately stood up and said clearly: "Students remember the teacher's teachings. ”

Wang Jingwei looked at Tang Shengming's tall and mighty figure, and was very satisfied.

Wang Jingwei was among the many factions in the Kuomintang, and during many major political struggles, including the "Ninghan split," he had a rather pleasant political cooperative relationship with Tang Shengzhi, the boss of the Tang family

At this time, Wang Jingwei and Tang Shengzhi's fourth brother Tang Shengming met again in a kind of dilemma after Bingxie, and naturally did not forget to explain to the younger brother of the Tang family the "close friendship" that he had formed with Brother Meng Xiao in the past when he was in his prime.

After a while, Wang Jingwei instilled his cliché of "[***] founding the country" to Tang Shengming at the beginning. Tang Shengming is naturally not interested in such a theory, but he cannot but echo it. Later, Wang Jingwei summed it up in an impassioned tone: "Actually, we are no different from Yucheng's purpose of saving the country. It's just that on a technical level, it's different. There are many Chinese in the occupied areas, and since people (don't, I, Wang Zhaoming, can't watch these people suffer. What's wrong with us trying to get them out of my hands? ”

At this time, Tang Shengming remembered the red blood of thousands of Chinese soldiers he had seen on the front line of the Anti-Japanese War in Hunan.

Tang Shengming stared at Wang Jingwei's two constantly turning lips, and secretly sighed in his heart: "This person's mouth is really good." ”

It is no wonder that Hu Hanmin, a veteran of the Republic of China, once commented on Wang Jingwei: "I have never heard of Jingwei's speech before, but I knew that he had a genius for speech in Singapore. For more than 20 years, there has not been a speech that is too defensive. ”
