Jiang Zhongzheng's appearance was handled very well, and the commander of the Japanese Tenth Army, Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke, even when the war broke out and civilians fled, found out the soldiers in his unit who had served as mortuaries and sorted out the remains of Jiang Zhongzheng.

Now Jiang Zhongzheng was freshened up, wearing a clean robe and horse coat, lying quietly in a cedar coffin.

Jiang Zhongzheng was discovered, it was an accident. After defeating the boats of the Central Army, the Japanese began to search the river. Two guards who did not die jumped from the boat holding Jiang Zhongzhen's corpse, putting on a lifebuoy.

In order to ensure that Jiang Zhongzheng's body would not be left behind, they also put a lifebuoy on Jiang Zhongzheng's body. In this respect, they are undoubtedly very conscientious.

But not long after they jumped into the water, they were illuminated by the lights of the Japanese army. One of them tried to resist and was killed by machine gun. And the remaining one, called Cheng Guangji, chose to surrender.

Jiang Zhongzheng's makeup began to fall off slowly after being soaked in water. Wigs, fake beards, ginger juice on the face, eyeliner, etc. After soaking in the river water, it slowly took off.

By the time he was fished up by the Japanese army, Jiang Zhongzheng had already shown his true face. And the gunboat commander of Jiang Zhongzheng, Qingyuan Shaya Shaozuo, who was salvaged, was inexplicably excited.

This is a great credit, and without a trace of hesitation, he called Yanagawa Heisuke to report the incident. Yanagawa Heisuke hurriedly sent someone to verify, and after confirming that it was Jiang Zhongzheng himself, he found the undertaker in his army to sort out Jiang Zhongzheng's remains.

At the same time, the matter was reported to the military headquarters in Tokyo. And Cheng Guangji, who was salvaged, was like ashes. He didn't know at all that it was Jiang Zhongzheng himself who was escorting!

And when he knew this fact, Cheng Guangji's entire mind was blank, his lips trembled, and he couldn't speak. Jiang Zhong is dead, but he still died under his own guard. Then your future can be imagined.

In addition to Cheng Guangji, the people in Wuchang City are also like Cheng Guangji.

Chen Cheng summoned the main figures of Wuchang City, including He Yingqin, Dai Li, and others, who knew the inside story, and held a secret meeting in Jiang Zhongzheng's office.

"So far, I estimate that the chances of the chairman surviving are very small. Yes, we all need to plan early......" Chen Cheng looked at Mary with his own eyes. The Lady Wood was sunk, and he knew from the bottom of his heart that the chances of Chiang Zhongzheng surviving were really slim.

"Now the people of Wuchang City are excited, and although we can temporarily restrain the people of various departments. But if you continue to fight like this, the result can be imagined......"

Chen Cheng still didn't want to say it clearly, but he scratched these extremely obvious situations in his words.

"The most important thing now is to stabilize people's hearts. I would like to ask Brother Yu Nong, can you find someone to temporarily replace the chairman?! Chen Cheng has thought about this matter many times, and the words of the Japanese army will definitely cause shock.

But now it is the time when everyone in Wuchang City can't move, and if you want to stabilize it, then Jiang Zhongzheng must show up. He believed that Dai Lia would have a way.

"I'll take care of this matter, and Chongqing won't inform them for the time being. Let's just say that the plan has changed, the chairman has not boarded the ship, and he is still in Wuchang City......" Dai Li suddenly understood Chen Cheng's thoughts.

Jiang Zhongzheng can't die for the time being, even if he is "dead", he must come back to life. Because his gang needs Jiang Zhongzheng to live. Although this is a bit difficult, it is still difficult to wear a hat.

Similar body shapes, after a certain amount of costumes, it is difficult to distinguish at a distance. Besides, it is impossible for Jiang Zhongzheng to be on the front line in person. At most, it's good to show up.

"In the name of the chairman, let Tang Keqin and Hu Shoushan hurry up!" He Yingqin also spoke, and said to Chen Cheng: "Let's just say that the situation is extremely critical now, if they don't rush to the chairman of the committee, once there is a problem, they will not be able to get out of it!" ”

Chen Cheng nodded, and everyone discussed a few words, but they heard a knock on the door. Chen Cheng's face changed slightly, he just found an excuse that the chairman of the committee was looking for a few senior officials to admonish.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the secretary would not dare to disturb him. But now that there is a knock on the door, it means that something is beyond the secretary's control.

Chen Cheng opened the door and flashed out, staring at the secretary and saying, "What's wrong?!" ”

"Commander, Japanese planes are dropping leaflets in the sky. It was printed with a photo of the chairman...... but he saw the secretary with a pale face and said to Chen Cheng: "It reads: The remains of Jiang Gongjieshi, chairman of the National Government, ......"

Chen Cheng's face changed greatly, he grabbed the leaflet in the secretary's hand and glanced at it a few times, turned around and rushed back to the office. Show the leaflets to He Yingqin, Dai Li, and others.

"Things have come to the point where there is no time to delay, Brother Yu Nong! It's all up to you! ”

Dai Li nodded fiercely, at least now Jiang Zhongzheng must not die. If Jiang Zhongzheng died, then the entire Wuchang City would be in chaos, and when the time came, he and the others would have to die if they didn't die!

When Wuchang City was busy, Guangzhou City welcomed a special guest. The guest was a little blessed, but still looked extremely personable.

Lieutenant General Toshiyoshi Ando, commander-in-chief of the South China Front Army in Guangzhou, personally greeted him at the wharf, including Yang Kuyi, Yin Rugeng, Wang Kemin, and Tang Guiliang...... and so on, former government officials or pro-Japanese factions.

When he got off the boat, Ando Rikichi led these people with a smile on his face, held the hand of the person who got off the boat, and said loudly: "Mr. came from afar, it is really touching for the friendship between China and Japan!" ”

"Where~Where~ I just want to do a little bit for the friendship between the two countries." The person who came waved his hand and said with a smile: "Please also ask General Ando not to cancel the people in the wilderness!" ”

"Hahaha...... Sir is humble! Humble! Ando Rikichi quietly leaned into this person's ear and said softly: "We have fished up Jiang Zhongzheng's body, he is completely dead." In the future, it will be up to Mr. ”

When this man heard this, his eyes flashed and he laughed. The two sides put their arms out together and waved to the crowd on the dock, and the man's face was full of happy smiles.

In the city of Guangzhou, the Japanese army tightly blocked the roads everywhere and watched the crowd of people gathered on the side of the road vigilantly. After greeting everyone, the man, accompanied by Toshikichi Ando, boarded a car and slowly left the dock.

When he arrived at the headquarters, Kagesa Zhenzhao, who had arrived from the mountains and seas, was already waiting in the reception room. Seeing the man come in, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao smiled and stood up and shook hands with the man.

"Mr. Jingwei, the Empire has cleared the biggest obstacle for you. So, it's time for you and the Empire to work together. Kagezo Zhenzhao smiled at the visitor and said, "Between China and Japan, the friendship is long-lasting. I believe that Mr. Jingwei will definitely make his own positive contribution to the friendship between China and the Great Japanese Empire! ”

This person is Wang Zhaoming, who has been in contact with Japan in Annan before. In fact, he saw that Wuchang City was surrounded, so he set off to return home.

In his opinion, Wuchang was surrounded, and even if Jiang Zhongzheng escaped, the Central Army would definitely be greatly injured. He has the opportunity to take over, and the wavers in the government can be easily contacted.

But he didn't expect that the Japanese would be so capable and directly kill Jiang Zhongzheng. It was really a little unexpected for him, but then Wang Zhaoming also saw his opportunity.

Once Jiang Zhongzheng is gone, there is no doubt that the government itself will be in chaos. Not only will everyone be at risk, but they will have all kinds of thoughts.

If you extend an olive branch at this time, then I believe that many people will be willing to follow you. As for the Wehrmacht, in Wang Zhaoming's view, if it was only a local war, Japan might be able to force Japan to retreat through the pressure of Britain and the United States.

But once it entered a full-scale war, it was impossible for the Wehrmacht to withstand a full-scale Japanese attack. Defeat is only a matter of time.

The continuation of my Chinese seedlings is in the hands of my Wang Zhaoming! Wang Zhaoming, who was in the reception room, thought so.

At the same time, Tu Qianjun in Beiping City was also holding his own military meeting. Yang Ziren and others did not hesitate to come from Mukden in order to find out whether Jiang Zhongzheng was really dead.

"Zhong Zhenggong, it should really be dead." Tu Qianjun took out the report sent by Wang Yajiao, and now most of the National Defense Force has moved to Beijing for the war effort.

This is Tu Qianjun's request, he must stand here. If the Japanese could still fight, then he would die here. Although the people below persuaded countless times, Tu Qianjun still insisted.

For this reason, the Wehrmacht deployed most of its air force units in the city of Beijing. At the same time, the ground forces are constantly rushing to the Pingjin area, at least not to let the Japanese army threaten the city of Beijing.

"Meng Ben, what do you think now?!" Yang Ziren smoked a cigarette and said to Tu Qianjun: "If Jiang Zhongzheng is really dead, then the government will definitely be in chaos." At that time, we will face a full-scale Japanese attack......"

Tu Qianjun smiled faintly when he heard this, and said: "Actually, there is an even more dangerous one, according to our news, Wang Zhaoming was found by the Japanese. I guess he will continue to buy off those who waver, how many people in the country and occupied territories will take refuge in him?! It's an unknown ......"

Wu Hao listened to Tu Qianjun's words, frowned, and said, "Meng Ben, it seems that you have already planned to listen to your words. ”

Tu Qianjun laughed and said to the two of them: "We have been preparing for so long, isn't it just to share the victory with the Japanese?!" How dare I start this battle if I'm not sure?! ”

As he spoke, Tu Qianjun paused, and a gleam flashed in his eyes!

"I'm not moving now, just to see who will take refuge in the past. Some unreliable people are better cleaned up as soon as possible. Those who live will only cause more harm. It must be cleaned up and absolutely cleaned. ”

Tu Qianjun's words were full of murderous aura! Qi Muden, the commander of the Second Army Corps, who was also in the office, couldn't help but tremble, he knew that his commander-in-chief would just say nothing.

Once you choose to speak out, it will definitely bring a bloody storm......

"Ziwen, what should we do......" In the city of Chongqing, Jiang Zhongzheng's wife cried into a tearful person. Jiang Zhongzheng is undoubtedly the pillar of this big family.

Without him, there is no doubt that the entire family would collapse even with Kong, Chen and other families.

Song Ziwen kept a calm face and didn't speak, he was responsible for contacting this matter. But he didn't expect to get such a result, and now his heart is also a mess.

"The top priority now is to stabilize the national government. At this time, we must not mess up, once we are all messed up, it will be completely over! The eldest brother-in-law, Kong Xiangxi, said to the lady.

"If you have to cooperate with Wuchang first, you must not show a little bit of an expression that your brother-in-law has an accident." Kong Xiangxi paused and continued: "Then, it's the students who are looking for those brothers-in-law. They are the foundation of who we are. After the death of my brother-in-law, we also need to be prepared. Who is on and where we are in these areas must be considered......"

Among the crowd, there is no doubt that Kong Xiangxi is the most calm. A detailed analysis of the situation and handling of the situation was made at once, but this approach was undoubtedly too calm. It even looks cold-blooded!

But there is no way for them not to be cold-blooded, which involves the lives of hundreds of people in several families. It has always been a struggle, and once it loses power, it is always merciless to be liquidated.

When Jiang Zhongzheng purged Wang Zhaoming's forces, he never tolerated mercy. Even if many of them are Xinhai veterans, they can't escape the fate of being swept away.

So, now that someone else is in power, can you let yourself and others go?! Expanded, the financial resources in the hands of the Song and Kong families basically made anyone blush.

Without the protection of the army and power, the fate can be imagined.

"The Chen family contacted first, and I believe that they also know the situation of their brother-in-law." Kong Xiangxi had a calm face and said to a few people: "Now that the situation is like this, if we don't join forces, there will be nothing left......

Song Ziwen let out a long sigh, he came back from studying in the United States. If you do some physical goods and do some business, it will be successful. But when it comes to politics, he's blind.

can make trouble with his brother-in-law, this person's political wisdom can be imagined.

"The eldest prince is now our best guarantee, and the Whampoa department will also support the eldest prince." Kong Xiangxi calmly analyzed: "Moreover, the eldest prince does not have a deep foundation in the national government. We can still help with one or two, as long as we are called back, then the rest will be taken care of. ”

Although Jiang Zhongzheng's wife was teary-eyed, she still nodded firmly. Undoubtedly, the eldest prince is the best candidate. First of all, there is nothing to come out of, but the name is possessed.

Even if he has any thoughts, he still overwhelms him by virtue of his identity. Secondly, the Chen family and the Whampoa family will also support him. The financial resources of the Song family and the Kong family will not be too dilapidated after all.

"Eldest sister, third sister. I think we should lay out outside......" Song Ziwen said the first sentence after coming in: "The current situation in the national government is really not optimistic. In case the times are not good, we will have a way out......"

"The situation in Europe is also unstable right now, let alone the concessions. My idea is to take out some capital to go to the United States, at least if something happens, we will have a place to live......"

Song Ziwen is not stupid, although he is very blind in politics. However, the situation is still very clear, and no one can say when war will break out on the European side.

In contrast, the safest place right now is the United States. Send the old and young in the family over first, and if things don't work well, you and others will retreat.

Anyway, I have a place to live!

"Ziwen, I'll leave this matter to you!" Song Ailing is undoubtedly the real ruler of this big family. Xu Jiahan, who once helped the members of the Kong and Song families, said: When there is internal friction between the three families of Jiang, Song, and Kong, and there is a lot of trouble, only she, the eldest sister, can come forward to arbitrate and solve it.

At some point, even Jiang Zhongzheng has to give this actual ruler of the Song family three points!

"Ling Kan and Ling Jie are going with you! You are not allowed to come back until the situation has subsided, and there is. Ziliang, Zi'an, and Qiongyi...... Go for it! But seeing Song Ailing gritting her teeth, she said to Song Ziwen: "Even if something happens...... Let's just stay! After all, I want to leave a blood ...... family."

Song Ziwen let out a long sigh and nodded. Seeing that Song Ailing had no one to tell her, she got up and said I'm going to do something. And he went straight away.

"Meiling, you can't cry now! At least you can't let others see you crying, bear with it! For the sake of our family, for the sake of the Chinese Securities you have to endure it. At this time, nothing must happen. ”

The latter gritted his teeth and nodded.

On March 28, 1938, after the Japanese army announced that Jiang Zhongzheng was dead, and even released Jiang Zhongzheng's posthumous photo, a burst of cheers broke out in Wuchang City!

An emaciated man in military uniform patrolled the positions surrounded by the crowd, waving to the soldiers on the positions from time to time. On the same day, Mrs. Jiang Zhongzheng, who was in Chongqing, also sent a message saying that Jiang Zhongzheng's so-called death was "nonsense", and even showed a handwritten letter secretly sent by Jiang Zhongzheng to explain the situation.

At the same time, the "Central News Agency" also released a message, claiming that "Japan is covering up its attack on British merchant ships, and the so-called death of the chairman of the committee is nothing more than a fabrication of their inner monologue." It's a pity that the appearance of the chairman of the committee has dispelled this rumor of theirs......"

Suddenly, Jiang Zhongzheng's life and death once again became a confusing story.

The Japanese side was also caught off guard by the government's reaction, and the imaginary chaos did not appear. Both Wuchangcheng and Chongqing unanimously claimed that Jiang Zhongzheng was still alive.

This made the Japanese side angry, and ordered the Tenth Army and its supporting forces to immediately launch a final attack on the city of Wuchang.

"Boom, boom...... In Xianning, the sound ......of gunfire resounded throughout the city. After several days of fighting, the Japanese positions were in tatters, and several important heights were captured.

Most of the artillery belonging to the division and regiment was also destroyed. Being able to support it until now, the 38th Division is already commendable as a newly formed division.

"We must hold on, and we must not allow these Wehrmacht units to break through our positions...... "Lieutenant General Yoji Fujii lowered his binoculars and muttered to himself.

The two brigade commanders in the command headquarters, one was covered in gunsmoke. And the other has an arm hanging from his neck. So far, two wing commanders have been killed on the battlefield. It can be said that the real situation now is that the Japanese army is gradually falling into decline.
