-- Qinglong Mountain, Nanjing

Qinglong Mountain is a mountain in the east of Nanjing, which is about ten miles away from Nanjing, and even in later generations, it was an unopened area. In a village in the mountains, there is a temple, which has long been abandoned due to a long time, and is now the garrison of Zhou Weiguo and others, Jiang Cheng and the others took two days to finally arrive here, Jiang Cheng got off the horse, and immediately felt that his legs were about to kneel, and Wang Yong next to him hurriedly supported him. Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "It's still not good, this horse is terrible to ride, I feel like my crotch is going to rot." ”

Wang Yong immediately said proudly, "That is, this kung fu can't be produced for more than ten years." Owner, you're far from it."

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes, well, I'm used to talking to this guy and getting angry.

Seeing Jiang Cheng and Wang Yong, Ba Shun, who was guarding outside, hurriedly came up and said, "Boss, you're here." ”

Jiang Cheng said as he moved, "How is Yishan now?" ”

Ba Shun hugged Jiang Cheng and said, "Let the doctor see it, it seems that he has been greatly stimulated mentally, and now he is in the Yu Mansion in Nanjing, or we will go and see it later." ”

Jiang Cheng only felt pain in his legs, so he said, "Let Zhou Weiguo come to me." With that, he found a place to sit down and rest. As soon as I sat down, I almost jumped up again, well, my ass looked swollen.

Zhou Weiguo came over soon, saw Jiang Cheng saluted, "Hello, sir." ”

Jiang Cheng looked at Zhou Weiguo and found that he seemed to be a little depressed, so he waved his hand and said, "What, not very happy?" ”

Zhou Weiguo hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, my mission is to sneak attack the headquarters of the devils, although we went in, but the big fish didn't catch any of them, and now that the war has become like this, how can I be happy." ”

Jiang Cheng leaned against the wall and said, "I will solve the problem of the headquarters, don't worry, in addition, the war has become like this, and the gap between the national strength of China and Japan is too large." This war is going to be long, what are you going to do next? ”

Zhou Weiguo bowed his head and said, "Although I am very happy to be with the chief, I still want to go back to Nanjing." ”

Jiang Cheng nodded, stared at him and said, "It's okay, but what to say and what not to say, you should be clear." ”

Zhou Weiguo's eyes hesitated for a moment and said, "I understand." ”

Seeing Zhou Weiguo leave with more than a dozen people, Jin Shan said worriedly, "Owner, what if these people talk nonsense?" ”

Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "Can you still force it to stay?" Forget it, it's going to rain, and the mother is going to get married, so let him go. Let's go. Also go to Nanjing. ”

Jiang Cheng was just about to leave, but he found that there were two people at the door who seemed to be waiting for him, so he asked, "Who are these two people?" ”

Ba Shun glanced at it and said, "It's the same Professor You we saved last time, he has been reluctant to go back, but is waiting for us here." ”

Jiang Cheng stepped forward and asked, "Why don't you two go home yet?" ”

That Professor You was hanging a bandage in one hand, and when he saw Jiang Cheng, he said excitedly, "You are Mr. Jiang, my name is You Li, I heard Captain Zhou say it." You saved us. Because of me, I also sacrificed two warriors, really- alas. ”

Jiang Cheng also remembered Zhou Lumang when he heard him speak, and sighed, "War years. It's inevitable, and if you want to apologize, you don't have to, after all, they're soldiers. Died to protect civilians and died as deserved. ”

Professor You nodded and said, "I'm a professor at National Central University, if you need my help if there's anything." You can go to the university and find me. ”

National Central University, hearing this name, Jiang Cheng's eyes couldn't help but light up.

In 1937 in China, the most academic, the most students, the most departments of the school is not the later Tsinghua Peking University, nor Shanghai's Fudan, but Nanjing's National Central University, this school can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms period of Nanjing Taixue, modern school can also be traced back to 1902 Sanjiang Normal School, the national government in Nanjing after the capital, is to make every effort to build this university, this school is also China's highest ranking in the world university rankings of Princeton University - first in Asia, tenth in the world.

This school can be said to have gathered the most powerful strength of teachers and students at that time, Jiang Cheng's eyes immediately turned red when he heard it, and said, "I will definitely find an opportunity to visit." ”

After Yu Li got Jiang Cheng's promise, he left. Jiang Cheng also went to Nanjing under Wang Yong's escort.

At this time, although Nanjing was a little flustered, it was generally calm, after all, although Shanghai was lost, there was still a defense line, isn't it?

Jiang Cheng came to Yu's house, saw Yu Yishan who was unconscious, and asked anxiously, "What did the doctor say?" ”

Yu Qiaqing sighed, "The doctor said that the brain has been greatly stimulated, and no one knows when it will wake up, it may be tomorrow, it may be next year, or it may never wake up." Saying that, Yu Qiaqing couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes. Yu Zhimin next to him hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.

Jiang Cheng looked at Yu Yishan and said, "Old Yu, don't worry, I will let Yishan wake up no matter what, but this place in Nanjing is not safe anymore, I think it is better for Yishan to transfer as soon as possible." ”

Yu Qiaqing looked at Yu Yishan and said, "The girl looks like this now, is it appropriate to move?" ”

Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "If it's not suitable, you have to leave, this place will soon become a place of death." ”

Yu Zhimin asked: "Can't Nanjing hold it?" ”

Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "Don't talk about Nanjing, Wuhan may not be able to hold it, to the people, how is the transfer of machinery and personnel now?" ”

Yu Zhimin opened his mouth and said, "About 100 factories have been transferred to Yan'an, although most of them are light industry, but these machines are still good, there are about more than 10,000 workers and their families and young people who are willing to go to Yan'an, and the slowest has passed Hefei." ”

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "That's good, Old Yu, you take this Yishan to Wuhan first, where I expect that it will be safe in at least half a year, and send some people to Chongqing, which will become the capital of the Nationalist Government." ”

Yu Qiaqing touched his beard and said, "Chongqing, it is indeed a good place to be a temporary capital, not too remote like Chengdu, nor as easy to be attacked as Wuhan and Changsha." Well, I see, what about you? ”

Jiang Cheng looked at the north and said, "I will stay in Nanjing for a while, and finally I will go to Yan'an, and I will go to Wuhan to find you before I go to Yan'an." ”

Yu Qiaqing nodded and said, "Although Nanjing is still quiet on the outside, there is already an undercurrent inside, and after the defeat of Shanghai, many people in the Nationalist Government have begun to express pessimism about the war. Chairman Chiang is under a lot of pressure right now. ”

Jiang Cheng immediately understood that what Yu Qiaqing was talking about must be the low-key club, and couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, "It's just a clown, the time is urgent, and the defense line doesn't know how long it can resist, let's hurry up and act, Li Qian, protect Miss Yu well, and nothing can go wrong." ”

Li Qian bit her lip and nodded fiercely.

Jiang Cheng continued, "In addition, send a report to Mr. Du and Boss Huang, so that they had better take it down as well." "After arranging. Jiang Cheng took Wang Yong to the National Government Building.

At this time, the Nationalist Government was debating the future of the war in Shanghai.

After seeing everyone arriving, Jiang said "Let's start, the battle of Songhu has basically ended today, how are we going to fight later?" ”

Bai Chongxi was the first to say, "The commission, it is nothing more than as I said at the beginning, step by step, using the defense line to block the Japanese army, but just in case, we have to consider the problem of Nanjing now." ”

He Yingqin continued: "As the Japanese army was advancing along the Shanghai-Nanjing line, the surrounding people began to retreat to Nanjing. After all, in their opinion, Nanjing's city walls are high and thick, and it is heavily guarded, making it the safest place around. So whether Nanjing is defended or not. These people must find a way to solve it and defend it, because so many ordinary people will only get in the way, and a lot of food alone will be consumed. If not, then we must also inform these civilians and let them continue to retreat. ”

Jiang Intermediary turned around and asked, "How many people are there in Nanjing City now?" ”

Chen Bui, who was next to him, said: "There were originally about 1.5 million people in Nanjing. Since August 13, more than half of the people have been evacuated, most of these people have some money at home, and the rest are mostly poor people who cannot afford to retreat, plus the people who are now concentrated in Nanjing from all over the country, it may exceed 700,000 people. ”

Jiang Zhong shook his hand and said, "It's too much, continue to evacuate immediately, let those who have the ability leave Nanjing immediately, we are here to be a battlefield, we are to be a big grave of the Japanese army, so many ordinary people are here, how can we fight?" ”

Bai Chongxi said in surprise, "Bench, do you mean to prepare for a defensive battle in Nanjing?" ”

Jiang said as a matter of course: "Shouldn't you fight?" This is our capital. ”

Bai Chongxi's face was embarrassed, but he didn't know what to say, so he looked at Falkenhausen, Falkenhausen nodded and said, "Chairman, the estimation of our advisory group is that Nanjing cannot be defended, Nanjing is close to the Yangtze River, and we do not have a navy, although the shipwrecks in the river block the waterway, but it is only a matter of time to clear these things, it can be said that once Nanjing goes to war, there will be defeat and no victory." ”

Jiang Zhong looked at everyone with a stiff face and said, "So does anyone think they can hold it?" ”

Everyone sat quietly and did not say a word.

At this time, an explosion came, and the guards outside the door came in and said, "Report, Japanese planes are bombing Nanjing, and our guard troops are counterattacking, please don't worry, commanders." ”

Jiang nodded and said, "Let's go down." After speaking, he said to everyone: "Regarding the issue of the Nanjing guard, I am going to hold a special meeting tomorrow, and the key now is to withdraw the troops safely, and now we only have two regiments of the military police and one regiment of the Central Teaching Corps in Nanjing, and we do not even have 20,000 people, which is really too weak." In addition, send a telegram to Gu Zhutong and Chen Cheng in Anhui to ask them what they think, and finally let the government prepare to evacuate to Chongqing. ”

Waiting for everyone to leave, Jiang Zhong stood on the balcony, clenched his fists tightly and looked at the Chinese and Japanese planes in the fierce battle in the sky, and said secretly, "You Japanese planes can force me Jiang someone away from Nanjing, but if you want me to surrender like this, don't think!" I, Jiang, would never surrender so easily. ”

At this time, Dai Li knocked on the door and came in and said, "Headmaster, Jiang Cheng asks to see you." ”

When Jiang intermediary heard this, he turned around and said, "Oh~ Let him come to me." ”

After a while, Jiang Cheng came in and said, "Take a seat." ”

Jiang said with a cold face, "I'm not good, someone obviously had a chance to turn Shanghai into a victory, but he gave up a great opportunity for a woman, it's really bold." ”

Jiang Cheng heard Jiang Zhong's sneering, so he said, "Commission, at that time, Matsui Shigen and the others had left the headquarters, and it would be useless for me to really bring a division in." And my losses are terrible. ”

The information that Jiang Intermediary got from Zhou Weiguo was that Jiang Cheng's troops were killed and wounded by nearly half, and he also got the information that Matsui Shigen was not at the headquarters at that time, so he stopped talking about this topic, nodded and said, "Do you have something to do here?" ”

Jiang Cheng said with a smile: "What big thing can I do as a small person, I am here to send a piece of information." ”

Jiang heard the information. It's a little embarrassing, after all, Jiang Cheng said it in advance about Jin Shanwei. He waved his cane unnaturally and said, "Say it." ”

Jiang Cheng said solemnly: "Japan has sent King Hatohiko of Asakanomiya to China." ”

Jiang said incomprehensibly, "So what? He's just a Japanese royal prince. ”

Jiang Cheng continued: "The problem is what he said in Tokyo, and he has repeatedly said in private in Tokyo that he will raze Nanking to the ground and kill all the captured soldiers in order to achieve supreme martial arts. ”

Jiang Zhong laughed and said, "That's just a declaration of war, it's nothing, you won't doubt that he dared to kill in Nanjing." ”

Jiang Cheng shouted loudly, "He dares to !! ”

Jiang Zhong was stunned for a moment, stepped forward and touched Jiang Cheng's head and said, "Are you okay, this Nanjing is the capital of China, with a population of millions of people." There are also countless foreigners and consulates, unless the Japanese are crazy, how could they have done such a thing. ”

Jiang Cheng said like a machine gun: "Chairman of the Committee, think about Lushun back then, think about the Northeast back then, as well as Tianzhen in Shanxi now, and Baoshan in Shanghai, where did the Japanese not kill and slaughter along the way?" In their eyes. War is the excuse for everything, and as long as it is under the cover of war, they can do anything that violates the most basic morality of mankind, waiting for us to question it. They will say, it's all because of the war, not because of us. This is the Japanese. Chairman, are you going to risk the lives of hundreds of thousands of people? ”

Jiang Zhong leaned on his cane and said, "Do you know who you're talking to?" What is your attitude? ”

Jiang Cheng also replied loudly: "I'm talking to the head of our country. That's my attitude! ”

The two stared at each other, and after a while, Jiang Cheng took a step back and said, "Chairman." My information is absolutely accurate, Wei Hua's ability In the past few months, you should have seen it, the eldest lady of the Yu family is now unconscious, I am in a bad mood, sorry. But the city of Nanjing is really dangerous, and once the Japanese army enters the city, there will really be something unbearable to say. ”

Jiang Intermediary turned back and said, "You are stressed, you are in a bad mood, will you be more stressed than me?" Are you in a worse mood than I am? I don't know what to say. Also, are you so sure that Nanjing City can't be defended? ”

Jiang intermediary strode towards the door angrily, and before opening the door, Jiang intermediary took a breath and said, "Gu Quan, I listened to your words, I know the nature of the Japanese better than you, in fact, I have already done the matter of dispersing the people, and I have been negligent in the matter of Jin Shanwei." ”

Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered and said, "By the way, if Nanjing wants to guard, the guard must not choose Tang Zhisheng." ”

Jiang Zheng looked at him suspiciously, closed the door without saying a word, and left Jiang Cheng alone in the conference room to look at the closed door.

When Jiang Cheng left the Nationalist Government, he saw that the streets were already full of police persuading people to move, Jiang Cheng sighed lightly and said, "Let's go, let's go to the Central National University." ”

At this time, the Central National University had seven colleges: arts, science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, law, and teachers, with more than 3,000 teachers and students, which was already an extremely terrible number in this era, and you must know that the number of college students in China at this time was only just 40,000.

When Jiang Cheng entered the school, he found that it was empty, and there were not many people, Jiang Cheng came to the address You Li said, Wang Yong stepped forward and knocked on the door, and saw You Li, who was still hanging a hand, walked out.

You Li saw Jiang Cheng and said excitedly, "Benefactor, you're here." Quick, sit inside. ”

Jiang Cheng walked into the room and found that it was full of blueprints and books for battleships, and said curiously, "Does Professor You know how to build battleships?" ”

You Li sighed and said, "It's just a dragon-slaying technique, the Japanese originally wanted me to help them design and build warships, and I have learned shipbuilding all my life." But I can only write and draw on the drawings. ”

Jiang Cheng looked at these drawings and said, "These are not dragon slaying techniques, they are gold counting techniques, Professor You, I don't know what you are going to do in the future?" ”

You Li looked at the sky and said, "I'm going to transfer to Chongqing with the school, and I'm doing research there." ”

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "I don't know if you are willing to go to Yan'an?" ”

"Yan'an, isn't that the place of the Red Party? Besides, what can be done there? ”

Jiang Cheng tempted, "There are also many scholars and professors in Yan'an now, and there are many books from advanced Western countries, and they are also doing laboratories for various scholars, I believe that you will have a better space for development if you go there." ”

Yu Li hesitated for a moment and said, "You are my savior, I should have listened to you, but as soon as I came back, I filed a case at the school, and it is not easy to leave now." ”

Only then did Jiang Cheng know that in order to ensure that the National Central University could be relocated to Chongqing smoothly, the Nationalist Government had everyone register, and now a large number of teachers and students are being moved, and now the last group is left.

Jiang Cheng gave up, and Jiang Cheng learned in Yan'an afterwards that in fact, the Red Party had already had an underground party organization at the National Central University, but because it was inconvenient to call people to Yan'an in Nanjing, he lurked. But these people played an important role in ensuring that China's top university was accepted by the Red Party. (To be continued......)
