I don't know how long later, Yu Sheng woke up. The river was flowing beside him, and he lay on the cold bank. Twilight is getting late.

The mind was surging like boiling, it turned out that Yu Sheng, who escaped from Nanjing and died in his family, and Yu Sheng, the rich second generation in the 21st century, were the same person in his past life and this life.

Perhaps because the hatred of the family in this country is too strong, the soul of Yu Sheng, the rich second generation in the 21st century, was forcibly dragged to Yu Sheng, who was ruined in this country.

Yu Sheng in this troubled world, even if he has martial arts, even if he knows water, even if he has excellent physique. It is by no means capable of soaking in the icy river water for dozens of hours and drifting hundreds of miles. The body is overwhelmed, and naturally it is long dead. After that, the soul that inexplicably crossed over in the afterlife brought it a glimmer of life.

Yu Sheng woke up. The memories of the two lives are clearly recognizable in the mind, and Yu Sheng in this life is dead, and he will live in his place. After waking up, he found that he was dragging a person in his hand, it was Ye Qingyu.

This is the lover who never let go of Yu Sheng until death in this life.

After a long time of soaking in the river water, Ye Qingyu's blood had already dried up, and his body was also soaked white. The bun is spread out, and the waist-length hair is completely draped.

The riverbank where Yu Sheng woke up was filthy and inhabited. The silt is thick, and there are various abandoned crushing utensils. Yu Sheng found a broken iron pot. Knock out a shovel-like blade. Dig up the mud that has been frozen by the cold and hardened a little.

Busy until midnight, Yu Sheng dug a pit more than one person long and more than three feet deep. Tidy up Ye Qingyu's face, and the face that has been unrecognizable is opposite to the flowery smile in his memory. Grief is surging.

Yu Sheng buried Ye softly, covered with soil layer by layer, and pressed it firmly.

The woman's last wish was for him to live.

Yu Sheng whispered to Ye, who was already sleeping in the earth: "Although this is only my past life, I will listen to you and live well." The name Yu Sheng is not good, I have no victory in two lives, so I will be called the rest of my life in the future. ”

"The love is gone, and the rest of my life is sent at sea. Looking at the bustling lights, looking at the buildings, and looking at the blurred outline of the statue of the Goddess of Peace that I had only seen in later photos, I could guess that this was already Shanghai Tang, a ten-mile ocean. This is the only isolated island after the fall, and there are Japanese people who will kill them endlessly. But don't worry, I won't fight hard, I'll live well here......"

For the rest of his life, he said goodbye to Ye softly, and left quickly. His body had been soaked in the cold river for an unknown amount of time, although the activity of digging the pit had already moved his body, and heat was emitting from his body. But his clothes were still damp, his body was extremely tired, and he was in desperate need of warmth and food.

And he wasn't sure if there was a patrol here. It was his luck that no one passed by for hours on end, but it was not normal. Something must be happening!

The rest of his life cleaned up his clothes and appearance as neatly as possible, and walked towards the concession. He heard gunfire in the distance.

The Shanghai Concession has a long history, from the beginning of the Qing Dynasty to the Japanese occupation of Shanghai, which has a history of nearly 100 years.

In 1845, Mu Jiu, the former Qing Su Songtai military commander, and the British consul Bafur promulgated the "Shanghai Land Charter" and established the Shanghai British Concession. Subsequently, the great powers settled in Shanghai Tang one after another.

In 1848, the Americans established the American Concession in Hongkou.

In 1849, between the county seat of Shanghai and the British Concession, the French Concession was established. The famous warning sign of "Chinese and dogs, no entry" stands on top of the concession in a grand manner! Grandly erected on the soil of China!

At that time, after the West invaded the East, perhaps out of fear of retaliation, it put forward the famous "Yellow Peril Theory". It became the most famous ultra-nationalist theory of the nineteenth century. The spearhead is pointed at Asia, at China, which was already weakened by the end of the Qing Dynasty.

Westerners who put forward the "Yellow Peril Theory" use their historical failures as a reason for their current aggression against Asia. They believe that there have been three "yellow perils" in history that have endangered the survival of the West.

The first "Yellow Peril" occurred between the 4th and 5th centuries AD. Since the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, after the Huns were defeated by the Han Chinese. The Huns were devastated in a daze.

In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were divided into the Northern Xiongnu and the Southern Xiongnu, and the Southern Xiongnu attached themselves to the Han Dynasty as vassals, and were gradually fused by the blood of the Han nation.

The Eastern Han Dynasty united with the Southern Xiongnu to defeat the Northern Xiongnu, forcing some of the Northern Xiongnu to move westward. The Huns, who migrated westward to Europe, continued to conquer and plunder the Roman Empire. And the Northern Xiongnu, who were defeated by the Han nation, were still strong relative to the Romans!

It led to the decline of the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire, and indirectly caused the fall of the Western Roman Empire, which made the Europeans at that time frightened. Attila, known as the "Whip of God", whipped the Europeans with great pain.

The remnants of the tribes, defeated by the Han Chinese, became fierce enemies of the Westerners.

The second "Yellow Peril" occurred between the 11th and 12th centuries AD.

The split of Wuhu Chaohua ended. The Sui Dynasty unified the Central Plains, while the Turkic peoples, who were eyeing the Central Plains, split into ** and Western Turks.

They still did not occupy the Central Plains, and the most powerful feudal dynasty in the history of the Han nation, the Tang Dynasty, which became stronger, perished! The Turkic tribes, only some of the Western Turkic tribes moved westward to Western Asia and established a number of countries and dynasties. The conquest of the Eastern Roman Empire by the Western Turks led to the Crusades, and finally the Ottoman Empire established by the Western Turks destroyed the Eastern Roman Empire, which represented the classical civilization of the West!

Moreover, these Turkic peoples survived in Europe and flourished day by day. If someone is not familiar with the name Ottoman, then the name Ottoman Turkey must be thunderous!

The remnants of the tribes, defeated by the Han people, once again, became the fierce enemies of the Westerners.

The third "Yellow Peril" occurred in the 13th century AD.

The Mongol army, led by Batu, after capturing Budapest in the Second Western Expedition, advanced to Neustada near Vienna.

After the main force of the Mongol army crossed the Danube and captured the city of Gran, the news of Ogedei's death came, and Batu was forced to return east in order to compete for the throne of Khan.

At this time, the Mongol tribes were extremely powerful, and the three western expeditions established an unprecedentedly large dynasty for the Mongols. India, China, Russia, the largest country in the world in terms of territory today, were just members of this great dynasty at that time.

There is also a theory that the Mongol conquest brought the Black Death to Europe. The rapid spread of this infectious disease and its highest fatality rate are still daunting today. Once a person is infected, there is no way to treat it. And from onset to death, it usually only takes half a day!

According to today's estimates, about one-third to one-half of the population in Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and India died from the Black Death. About 25 million people!

It wasn't until after the invention of soap that the Black Death gradually disappeared. After the Black Death gradually disappeared, the religious shackles of Europeans were greatly reduced. Humanistic thought was revived, and the Renaissance was budding.

It is precisely because of these historical upheavals that Westerners still have a vague wariness of China after successfully turning the Qing Dynasty into a semi-colonial country when they found that the Qing government was extremely weak.

The slogan "Chinese and dogs, no entry" is not allowed to be entered, and in addition to the extreme contempt, there is still a trace of inexplicable alienation and vigilance!

In addition, Westerners have discovered the possibility of China's transformation and strengthening from Japan's successful reforms.

On September 2, 1902, Wilhelm II wrote to Nicholas II: "The prospect of 2,000 to 30 million trained Chinese, assisted by six Japanese divisions and commanded by excellent, courageous and Christian-hating Japanese officers, cannot but be tacitly alarming." ”

It's just that the West at this time does not understand the character of the Chinese. The reason why the Chinese nation has been able to survive for 5,000 years is not because it will invade other nations, but because the Chinese nation has been able to tolerate and endure other ethnic groups. Rather, it is because of the innate diligence of a civilization based on agriculture.

At the same time, the Chinese nation will not tolerate foreign aggression and so-called "leadership". All the ethnic groups that once eyed the Central Plains, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turkic, Mongol, and Manchu Qing, whether they entered the Central Plains or not, either gradually died out, or were assimilated by the gorgeous civilization built by the Chinese nation, without exception!

In the end, the master of the Chinese nation has always been himself.

Japanese scholars have gradually discovered this as well. Therefore, before Japan prepared to invade China, the strategy formulated was not only a military invasion, but a full-scale invasion that included economic, political, and cultural aspects. In a vain attempt to destroy and replace Chinese civilization.

Therefore, after entering China, the Japanese army not only had a three-light policy of killing, burning, and robbing everything, but also gradually transplanted some things from Japan when it eliminated the remnants of the original Chinese nation. Establishment of Japanese schools, construction of Japanese houses, and relocation of Japanese residents.

It was not until the Japanese occupied the space that threatened the living space of the Western powers that the contradiction between the two broke out! Moreover, at this time, the Western countries were already entangled and at war with Germany, especially Britain and France. The strength has been greatly weakened. If you want to protect your own interests in the Far East, you can only treat the forces and people in China with a moderate attitude.

After the Japanese occupied Shanghai, a large number of refugees poured into the Shanghai Concession. The concession authorities' tactics against refugees were not drastic, and could not be regarded as connivance, but they could also be regarded as neutral. A large number of refugees have been taken in by the relief committees of various organizations in Shanghai, the Shanghai Charity Joint Disaster Relief Association, international relief organizations, and local associations. Of course, there are many more refugee authorities who have no time to take care of them, but the attitude is much better than before.

The distance between the naturally bare riverbank and the sidewalk is extremely short, and the rest of your life is only a dozen steps before you step onto the sidewalk. The road was wide, gunshots rang out, and it was the middle of the night, and there was no one on the street except for the occasional speeding car.

The gunfire was getting closer and closer, sparse and messy, but continuous. Apparently there was a shootout on the left. Yu Sheng judged the direction and intensity of the gunshots, and dodged into a narrow alley.

Here is apparently a certain distance from where the shots were fired. The rest of his life did not dare to walk along Huangputan Road, after all, it was difficult to hide his tracks on such a wide street. He had no identification, no friends or relatives, and no specific place to live. Whether it is discovered by the patrol house or by the Japanese, it will not end well.

It's just that things don't go as expected for the rest of my life. The lane he entered crossed with the other, in a cross shape. Before entering the alley, he heard a gun stating that it was about two or three blocks away. Before he was halfway there, the gunshots were getting closer and closer to him!

And, at the intersection ahead, there was the sound of footsteps. Dense footsteps. It's too late to avoid the rest of your life. Forward, you will hit the oncoming person. Backwards, it is already a few hundred meters away from Huangputan Road. Once discovered, it is the fate of the target.

On the left and right are three-storey Shanghai dwellings, which cannot be climbed. There were two or three iron locks that were so strong that even rats couldn't get in.

Yu Sheng slowly retreated, but after only a dozen steps, a group of Westerners turned the corner of the road and ran towards the street where Yu Sheng was. He was still wearing the uniform of the patrol room and holding a gun in his hand.

Seeing the rest of their lives hiding their bodies in the shadows as much as possible, the Westerners screamed and raised their pistols to shoot. Yu Sheng shouted a few words of English that had been tempered by exam-oriented education in later generations: "I'mChinese! Don‘tshot！ I‘mChinese！ Don't shoot, I'm Chinese, not Little Japan! ”

And raise your hands and make a surrender form. Several Westerners in the patrol room glanced at each other, and felt that it was unlikely that the Japanese who were dressed so miserably could be the Japanese who had been arrogant recently, so they put down their guns and asked with Chinese, "Chinese are you?" Do you speak English? ”

"That's right! I'm Chinese and I've learned English! ”

"Then run for your life! Japanese agents are chasing us! If they find you, they won't let you go! ”

Before he finished speaking, behind several Western patrols, gunshots rang out. A Western patrol who had just spoken a few words to Yu Sheng was hit by a bullet and fell to the ground. But it didn't hit the vital point, and the Western patrol screamed in pain and scolded. Several other patrolmen and the rest of their lives lay down on the spot, or looked for a place to hide.

The pistol that fell right in front of Yu Sheng was actually a new style of Mauser in Germany in 1932 -- it was commonly known as a "box cannon" in the anti-Japanese drama of later generations. It can sound 20 rings in a row.

Yu Sheng did not hesitate and raised his gun to shoot back. In this life, he didn't know how to use a pistol, but in later life, he was half a military fan. The knowledge of firearms is not professional, but it is a little more than ordinary people. During military training in college, the instructors were more optimistic, and they had more opportunities to practice guns than others.

For the rest of his life, under the training of exam-oriented education, it is inevitable that he will have some myopia and astigmatism, and his marksmanship will be limited in any case. And for the rest of his life in this life, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his eyesight and reaction speed have been practiced accurately and quickly. Moreover, after practicing boxing all year round, the strength of the arms and wrists is amazing, and the impact of the recoil of the pistol is less. This shot is a three-shot combo. Actually hit two Japanese who were trailing.

Seeing this, several Western patrols lifted their spirits and shouted, "God bless! Alleluia! Chinese, please retreat with us! ”

The only difficulty in retreating was the Western patrol lying on the ground, and there was a common problem of Western pampered men, that is, fat! Although under the premise of being tall, it is not out of the ordinary, but there is still a weight of more than 200 and nearly 300 catties.

A few Western patrols have done the work of carrying large bags on the dock on weekdays. The two of them together couldn't carry the patrol. But if one more person is added, the firepower is weakened too much and the action is too slow, and it is easy to be wiped out by the Japanese.

When the Western patrols were helpless, Yu Sheng said: "I'm coming!" ”

He has been practicing boxing since he was a child, and practicing Hongquan has extremely high requirements for Zama Bu. For the rest of his life, he had a four-flat horse, and he worked his legs. With a shout of both arms, he exhaled and shouted: "Get up!" This fat patrol was carried on his back for the rest of his life. For the rest of his life, he was carrying hundreds of pounds of fat, and shouted at a few Western patrols who were stunned: "Don't run yet, my time to persist is limited!" ”

So, several Western patrols were used as fire cover, and the rest of their lives carried the fat Western patrols and evacuated quickly along Yongan Street. It wasn't until they ran to Huangputan Road that the Western patrols breathed a sigh of relief. Stopped two private cars, crowded into the cars, and headed towards the French patrol house.

In the car, the injured patrolman said to Yu Sheng: "My friend, thank you for saving me!" I'm the Inspector of the French Patrol House, Catres! What is your name? ”

"As long as it's a fight against the Japanese, then you're welcome! My name is Yu Sheng. I don't know why the Japanese are doing something to you people? You are protected by international conventions! "For the rest of his life, he carried this huge fat man and ran hundreds of steps, and the energy in his body was exhausted.

"Oh, my friend! Next to France, the Germans had regained their strength, and the French authorities did not have much energy to take care of the Far Eastern side. Therefore, we people are not welcomed! If the Japanese take us by surprise and get rid of us, they can justifiably take over the French Concession on the pretext of maintaining law and order. ”

"If, let them take over the French Concession, what about the Common Concession? Is it going to take over too? Besides, you know, in Shanghai's Shiliyangchang, the concession area is the most prosperous section. It is also a place where all kinds of elites and celebrities gather, and a lot of wealth is gathered here. If the Japanese take over the concession, then they will have a huge gain! ”

"You see, they just need to get rid of us people, and there will be so much interest. How could they not do it? In front of the army, the influence of international conventions is not great. ”

Cattres told Yu Sheng that it was not the first time that the Japanese had stormed the concession after the Japanese occupation of Shanghai. Initially, the patrols would use the man-wall tactic to stand in a row to prevent the Japanese from crossing the line.

However, after being blocked two or three times, Japan no longer prepared to take over the concession in an open manner. Instead, they relied on bribing some traitors and sending Japanese agents to infiltrate and cause some damage to the patrol house, in order to achieve their goals. This is not the first time that such a shootout has occurred. There are also many patrols who are buried in patrol houses.

"Thank you, my friend! You saved my life! Once again, Cartress thanked him.

"But where did you come from, my friend? At this time, everyone should be hiding from such a shootout......" asked Katress asked.
