Chapter 110: Sunrise in the Sea (2) (2nd Update)
"The Great Wall will never fall, and the Yellow River is surging. The country is beautiful! Stacked Colors! Q: What is my country like to be infected? "Rush out of the way and wave your hand!" We must devote ourselves to the prosperity of the country! Shall the land be trampled down again? The sleeping lion has woken up! ”
Although the rest of his life is just a temporary idea, as soon as this song is sung, it can be regarded as leading the audience. The whole ship was noisy, as if it was a festival. It took a long time to subside.
At this time, although the ships were large and small, the equipment was very modern. On every ship, there will be a transmitter. Within a few days, the rest of his life took a boat to Hong Kong, and the matter was published in the tabloids of Shanghai. Compared with the righteous words of the Japanese to negotiate with the Americans, everyone who has a little patriotism in Shanghai is cheering.
After the news broke that Yu Sheng was alive and went to Hong Kong, the major newspapers in Shanghai, which were not controlled by the Japanese, reacted quickly and reported Yu Sheng's whereabouts one after another. News such as "The Japanese Persecuted, Fleeing to Hong Kong for the Rest of Their Life", "Yu Dacai's Talent Will Not Change, the American Ship Sings War Songs", "The Great Wall Will Never Fall, Singing and Watching the Sea at Dawn" and other news have all appeared in the headlines of newspapers with a joyful attitude! The Japanese are quite helpless to be a gray wolf who can't catch sheep.
Although the Japanese claimed to have a plan to destroy China in three months, it was useless. The Battle of Shanghai lasted for three months, and the resilience of the Chinese was beyond the imagination of the Japanese. Japanese culture is about success if you don't succeed, cherry blossoms that fall in an instant, and bushido, which commits suicide by disembowelment. And the Chinese, it is better to live than to die. As long as there is a glimmer of life, we will not give up hope.
So, although the Chinese army has been repeatedly defeated in large-scale battles on frontal battlefields. However, more than that, it is repeated defeat!
Moreover, by this time, various guerrilla wars were also rising in the Japanese-occupied areas. The Japanese policy of using China to contain China failed, and the just-concluded Battle of the Hundred Regiments made the Japanese exhausted in their occupied areas. Completely plunged into the vast sea of the people's war. There is no longer the sharpness that I had when I first entered China.
And the plan made by Lao Chiang before the war to exchange space for time was basically successful. Even if the Japanese have been spying on China for decades, it is impossible for them to explore China in such a vast territory. Therefore, in the early days of the war, as the intelligence of these decades was exhausted, the Japanese gradually fell into the predicament of Napoleon's expedition to Russia. Stuck in a quagmire and unable to extricate himself.
At this time, the United States had already imposed an oil embargo on Japan. At this time, all the oil in Japan could only be supplied to the army and for domestic use for half a year. Once the oil runs out. The Japanese could only withdraw their troops from China. At this time, the Chinese army was tempered by war, and the more it fought, it became stronger and stronger. Once the Japanese run out of resources, it is really difficult to say whether China will fight back. If it is a counterattack, with what the Japanese are doing in China, it will inevitably be a bloody battle of revenge!
Therefore, the Japanese began to plan for the Pacific Ocean. I want to use this to break the deadlock. And the fleet of the Japanese was being mobilized with this plan. Before this plan is officially implemented, the Japanese must not let the Americans notice it and startle the snakes! After all, since the United States and Japan signed the "Treaty of Amity between the United States and Japan" on March 31, 1854, the Japanese have been the fixed little brothers of the Americans. At this time, if the younger brother wants to rebel and counterattack, he must be cautious, lest he startle the snake. Therefore, the Japanese did not dare to intercept the ship of American nationality at all.
Although the rest of his life can make trouble, its value is not worth the Japanese giving up the strategy of attacking the Pacific Ocean for it, if Lao Chiang is on the ship, it will be about the same.
It was with the knowledge of later generations that he predicted this situation. That's why I bought a ticket for an American steamer. and abandoned another, more convenient and comfortable British steamer. After getting used to seasickness, the rest of my life can be regarded as the most comfortable time since the crossing. In addition to eating and sleeping every day, when you have nothing to do, you can watch the sea view, blow the sea breeze, feed the seagulls, and sing to your heart's content during the evening party. Moreover, no one will blame him for being a microphone and grabbing the microphone with him.
Therefore, in just 20 days, the rest of my life actually gained a circle.
Yu Sheng left Shanghai Tang in April, and although the ship sailed against the southeast monsoon, it also drove fast to avoid the typhoon. More than 20 days later, I arrived in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is called Hong Kong, but there are many sayings. However, the "History of Hong Kong" compiled by Westerners does not provide a clear answer to this question. However, according to Ye Lingfeng's research, the reason why Hong Kong has this title is not unique to modern times. According to Ye Lingfeng's records, near Seac Pai Wan, there is a small village called Hong Kong Village. This village existed long before the British landed in Hong Kong.
The village got its name because it was originally a small port hub for transporting spices. It is said that the most concentrated spice here is Dongguan incense, a specialty of Dongguan. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Qu Dajun's record of Guan Xiang was: "Guan Xiang is in the north of the mountains, although it is inferior and there is Fufen, it is stained with frost and snow." When Dongguan Xiangsheng was prosperous, it sold more than tens of thousands of gold. ……”
Most of the work of collecting incense is done by women. Therefore, before these women get married, they often leave the best bit of fragrant wood as a dowry and private house when collecting fragrant wood. These accumulated spices are the most precious daughter incense in Guanxiang.
It's just that Guan Xiang's reputation is too great, so it will also cause trouble. During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, the Guan incense needed in the palace was in short supply. So, he sent a commissioner here to ask for Guan Xiang. However, the reason why guanxiang is precious is because it is made of sap produced by old trees that are more than ten years old or even decades old, which is extremely rare. It is also difficult to increase production.
The officials who were sent could not get it, and they were afraid that they would be blamed by the officials when they returned, so they tortured Shannon, intending to force Shannon, who made a living by growing fragrant wood, to hand over more guanxiang. Shannon could not hand it over, and the heavier the punishment. He killed dozens of people with the rod. In order to avoid disaster, Shannon had no choice but to cut off the incense wood and fled to another country.
After the trees were cut down in large quantities, the spice business here collapsed. The once-famous Guanxiang has lost the main planting area, and it is gradually lost! It's a pity!
At this time, Hong Kong was far from being as prosperous as later generations. There are not as many buildings as in Shanghai, and the public facilities are not as complete as in Shanghai, only the wharf is similar to Shanghai because of the large number of boats.
There is only one thing that Shanghai Tang can't compare. That is Hong Kong at this time, the number of wild animals is far more than that of Shanghai Tang, not only a large number of mosquitoes, a large number of wild plants and flowers, and even foxes, wild boars, Indian wild dogs, and even, tigers!
