Chapter 263: Pingji Hanyu, Thousands of Miles of Escape
October 25, 1938. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info morning, Qutang Gorge boat.
Li Wei settled on Zhongbao Island, left a few capable officers, and took a cargo ship back to Chongqing overnight. The ship is specially built with two searchlights and a diesel generator to generate electricity. The captain also has experience in night boating, so he dares to sail at night.
The resettlement of refugees in Chongqing is not in good order, and he needs to go back to preside over it. This was something the three of them had agreed upon beforehand. These right-hand men were among the first batch of more than 40 people to come.
Now it is suitable for late autumn and early winter, and the river breeze at night is very cool, even a little biting. Li Wei gave up his seat to a pregnant woman and sat on the floor.
For example, although it is bright today, the river breeze is still a little cold.
A man who looked like a civil servant, the husband of a pregnant woman, also sat on the floor and said, "Thank you, sir." The two children beside him, one on the left and one on the right, were leaning on him and fell asleep deeply. By the way, the pregnant woman is still holding one in her arms.
Li Wei said: "No thanks, no thanks." Your wife is inconvenient, you should lie down, now we have limited space on the ship, please forgive me. ”
Civil servant: "Where, where." It's nice for little people like us to be the first to leave. ”
Li Wei: "Listen to the accent, are you from Shandong?" ”
Civil servant: "Yes, it's from Shandong." I work in Peking. ”
Li Wei: "Mr. seems to be a cultural person, what kind of work do you do?" ”
Civil servant: "I'm a clerk and I work in the government. ”
Li Wei: "You have a lot of children. Three? ”
Civil servant: "The fourth one is coming soon. ”
Li Wei: "Children are so young, they have experienced wars and troubled times. ”
Civil servant: "Yes." Just look at the names of my three children. This is my eldest son, called Pingsheng. Later, when I saw Japan coming, I thought it was not good, so I returned to my hometown Jinan. This is the second daughter, named Jisheng. Jisheng was less than half a year old, and the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out. We knew that Jinan would fall sooner or later, so we moved again. I originally wanted to go to Nanjing, but I felt that it was inappropriate and went to Wuhan. This one is holding the third child, called Han Sheng, who was born in the Hankou Hotel. ”
Li Wei said: "Your fourth name is also there, called Yusheng?" ”
Civil servant: "I think it's a good name, boys can be called, and girls can be called too." Next year, I will add another mouth. ”
Li Wei said: "What are your plans to Chongqing?" ”
Civil servant: "Take it one step at a time, I don't have any specific plans." You have to live. I've been on the run for so long, and what little money I have has been spent. Let's go to Chongqing and find something to do. I heard that it is difficult to find a job in Chongqing, there are many people and few positions. ”
Li Wei said: "Positions are created by people. So many people came, many of them were educated, so to speak, and there were a lot of talented people in them. As long as we create some undertakings, we can not only find a bite to eat for everyone and support their families, but also help the anti-Japanese war situation in the southwest. ”
Civil servant: "Listen to you, you have a company? ”
Li Wei said: "I'm not the chairman, but I can introduce you to a few chairmen." ”
Civil servant: "That's what you want. ”
Li Wei said: "You are a civil servant, educated, come to my company, how about it?" ”
Civil servant: "That's not what you want. Don't know what I can do? ”
Li Wei said: "There are several positions suitable for you to do, one is to be a teacher in a night school, teaching young farmers and young workers to learn knowledge. There is also the work of clerks, we have factories, we have new villages, and we need people to take care of them. ”
Civil servant: "I can do it." I could have done more. ”
Li Wei said: "Our company is called Fuxian Company, some semi-military management, stricter, the downtown area of Chongqing is too expensive, we give everyone to live in the suburbs, but we ensure that everyone has a room to live." He lives in Xincun, far from the city, but close to the place of work. In addition, we want our children to be educated, they are our hope. ”
Civil servant: "That's not necessary. I can't thank you enough for helping me like this. ”
Li Wei said: "Then after getting off the boat, you will follow me." I'm looking for someone to take care of the kids for you. What's your last name? ”
Civil servant: "Under the surname He." So what does our company do to do business? ”
Li Wei said: "Although we also do business, our main business is to produce grain and produce some industrial products. ”
Civil servant He: "Boss, I want to ask." In your judgment, will the Japanese be able to hit Chongqing? I don't know if I should continue to move and continue to run. ”
Li Wei said: "No." ”
He Civil Servant: "I would like to hear about it. ”
Li Wei said: "A genius once analyzed and said that it was impossible for the Japanese to enter Chongqing. The reasons are simple, first, the Japanese army's logistics supply is too long, the Yangtze River and Wushan are dangerous, and the Japanese army will not occupy a profit for the attack. Second, I, the Chinese, began to resist, and the Japanese did not occupy the peace. As for the time of day, this genius said that the Japanese foolishly thought that they could occupy all of China in a few months. And then occupy all of Asia. In fact, if this touches the interests of other powers, it will meet with huge counterattacks. They don't occupy the time. ”
He civil servant: "Who is this genius?" ”
Li Wei said: "Don't say. ”
He was a little disappointed.
Li Wei said: "He is my good brother, younger than me, smiling all day long, and smiling when there is no big event." When there is something to do, sit on the chair in turn, with the front chest against the back of the chair. By the time he jumped out of his chair, he had a good idea. He was a genius, he was a strategist, he could see the situation around the world and deduce how the situation would change in the coming years. He is technologically proficient, and it is difficult for him to know industrial and agricultural production in the general direction. However, he is also a humble person, who puts all the credit on others, and is willing to hide behind the scenes. What a character. ”
When Li Wei said this, some light flashed in his eyes.
In the evening, the ship arrived in Chongqing.
Today is a cloudy day, and the gloomy winter in Chongqing has arrived.
The boat docked at Chaotianmen Wharf.
Mr. He, a civil servant, said, "Boss, shall we get off the boat here?" ”
Li Wei: "Passengers on the ship, passengers who don't go to our new village get off the boat here." We anchored for an hour, and after talking, the boat would anchor and follow the Jialing River, an hour's route, to our own wharf. That's our new village. ”
When the boat arrived at the Sinchon pier, it was already night. More than a hundred people disembarked under the guidance of the crew. More than a dozen people who looked like students in their twenties greeted them on the dock, and the first one said: "Fellow villagers, welcome to Fuxian 22 New Village. Nowadays, the new village has been electrified, everyone first stays in the room for one night, for free, and we provide a supper for free. Tomorrow morning, arrange to rent a house, recruit workers, and so on. Please act quickly, and the lights will be turned off at half past nine. Please understand that the electricity is not sufficient. ”
A girl held a notebook and said, "You have twenty families, a total of eighty-six people. The remaining thirty-five are single, and families of 10 of them will arrive in the next few days. The single ones below go this way, go to the No. 1 guest house, and the rest of the families go directly to the apartment. ”
The group followed the students on the road, uphill and downhill, and soon arrived at the new village. The new village is nestled in the woods, and several buildings are brightly lit.
Everyone was in a better mood. Where is this escape? It's like moving.
Li Wei returned to his office, drafted a telegram, and addressed a person: "Send it out, to Yichun." ”
The message reads: The cargo was moved smoothly.
