After hearing Jin Zhao's words, Ding Li was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Xu Wenqiang? I don't know. ”
Jin Zhao didn't watch the TV series Shanghai Beach less when he was young, so when he heard that the person in front of him was actually called Ding Li, he blurted out and asked, "Do you know Xu Wenqiang?" Only now did I suddenly think of this Ding Li, Xu Wenqiang was just a drama character, and the person in front of him was just a name just Ding Li, thinking about it, Jin Zhao couldn't help but shake his head.
Seeing Jin Zhao shaking his head, a hint of disappointment flashed involuntarily in his eyes, Ding Li immediately said, "Big brother is in a hurry to find this person, is there something urgent?" In this case, I will ask someone to inquire about this person, and if there is any news, inform the eldest brother immediately. ”
"Nothing urgent? It's just that this Xu Wenqiang is a brother of mine, who came to Shanghai to work hard many years ago, and I haven't seen him for several years, so I miss him. If my brother can help me find this person, I would appreciate it. Jin Zhao naturally couldn't tell him that this Xu Wenqiang was just a drama character, so he could only talk nonsense.
"Hey! It's a trifle! If I want to say thank you, I should thank you, if it weren't for my eldest brother's help today, maybe I would have been thrown into the Huangpu River by now. Ding Li said with a smile.
"Brother Ding laughed, even if I didn't make a move, with my brother's skills, those two little devils couldn't help you." Jin Zhao said with a smile. These words are not kind words, just now when he saw Ding Li make a move, Jin Zhao had already seen that this Ding Li was a practitioner, and his kung fu was not weak, those two little devils were average, and they were indeed not Ding Li's opponents.
Ding Li laughed and said, "Let the eldest brother laugh, I don't know what this eldest brother is called?" Where is the high place? ”
Jin Zhao arched his hand and said with a smile, "Under Jin Zhao, follow the nineteen people to eat." I don't know where Brother Ding is? "The nineteenth nature mentioned by Jin Zhao refers to the nineteenth Route Army.
"I'm just a poor haha, working as a coolie on the docks, and eating with a mouth." Ding Li said casually. At this time, Dr. Tea served a pot of Biluochun to the two, and Ding Li hurriedly beckoned Jin Zhao to drink tea.
Jin Zhao took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "With the skills of the Ding brothers, it is really condescending to do things at the docks. Now that the country is employing people, I don't know if Brother Ding is willing to join the army to serve the country, I can recommend on my behalf, with the ability of Brother Ding, if you join the army, you will be reused. ”
Ding Li smiled and waved his hand and said, "Brother Jin's kind brother understands it, but I'm used to being free and unrestrained, if I really enter the army, I will inevitably cause trouble for my eldest brother, I think it's better to forget it!" ”
Jin Zhao shook his head and said with great regret, "Everyone has their own ambitions, since Brother Ding is unwilling, then I can't force it, but it's a pity that Brother Ding can't serve the country, it's a pity!" ”
The two chatted for a while while drinking tea, during which they inevitably talked about themselves. The reason why Ding Li clashed with those two Ronin just now was also because when Ding Li saw the warship in the Huangpu River, he was angry and spat at the warship, but unfortunately he happened to be seen by the two Ronin. As soon as he talked about himself, Ding Li gritted his teeth for a while, Jin Zhao took this opportunity to reveal to Ding Li some news that the war was about to break out, and he hoped to persuade Ding Li to join the army to serve the country, but was rejected by Ding Li again. Jin Zhao didn't want to say anything more, and after chatting for a while, Jin Zhao took his leave on the grounds that he was busy with military affairs.
After leaving the teahouse, Jin Zhao did not return to the barracks, but went to the brigade headquarters first, wanting to remind the brigade commander that the army was about to launch an attack on Shanghai. But unfortunately, the brigade commander Weng Zhaoyuan was not at the brigade headquarters, but accompanied the army commander Cai Tingkai to Suzhou early in the morning.
Cai Tingkai summoned Shen Guanghan, a senior general of the 19th Route Army stationed in Suzhou, and others in Suzhou, and held an emergency deployment meeting at the Garden Hotel. At the meeting, Cai Tingkai expressed the determination of the 19th Route Army to resist the war, and conveyed and explained the secret order issued on the 23rd. The generals stationed in the Soviet Union at the meeting also unanimously expressed their opposition to compromising with the Japanese army and resolutely supported the resistance to the Japanese army.
Due to the urgency of the situation, after the meeting, Cai Tingkai and others urgently returned to Shanghai. After returning to Shanghai, Cai Tingkai received invitations from Zhang Jingjiang, a veteran of the National Congress Party, and Du Yuesheng, a tycoon of the Shanghai Youth Gang, to attend a banquet at Du's house.
Now that the situation in Shanghai is tense, Zhang Jingjiang naturally will not come to Shanghai at this time to enjoy the mountains and rivers. This time, Zhang Jingjiang was entrusted by Lao Jiang to do ideological work for the senior generals of the 19th Route Army. Although Lao Jiang also knew in his heart that the war between China and China was inevitable, it was not the best time to start a war because China had not yet achieved reunification. Now that he was constantly provoking in Shanghai, Lao Chiang was naturally afraid that a full-scale war of resistance against Yu would break out because of this, so Lao Chiang still hoped that the affairs in Shanghai could be resolved peacefully, even if it was to compromise with Yu Ben and sell some interests, he would not hesitate to do so. Lao Jiang was afraid that the 19th Route Army would break out into a large-scale conflict with the Yue Army because of impulse, so things would not end well, so he sent Zhang Jingjiang to Shanghai.
"The 19th Route Army has always had strict military discipline and meritorious service in the revolutionary war. The Shanghai military is provoking everywhere, and if it is not good at coping with it, it will have a tendency to break out. It is hoped that General Cai can realize the will of the central government, and it is best to retreat the troops to the rear Nanxiang area, if the battle starts, the losses will be great. If I can retreat, I can report to Commander-in-Chief Chiang. Zhang Jingjiang said slowly to Cai Tingkai.
Listening to Zhang Jingjiang's words, Cai Tingkai's face immediately changed, Cai Tingkai could naturally guess that Zhang Jingjiang should be entrusted by Lao Jiang to convey Lao Jiang's intentions, after learning about the attitude of the political axe, Cai Tingkai was naturally angry, and then snorted coldly and said, "Shanghai is my country's territory, and the 19th Route Army is a Chinese army, which has the right to garrison Shanghai, and has nothing to do with this empire." In case the army dares to attack, our army has the responsibility to defend the territory and decides to attack head-on. Mr. Zhang, who is also a native of China, should accept my advice and report to Commander-in-Chief Chiang. ”
Listening to Cai Tingkai's sonorous and powerful words, Zhang Jingjiang's face was red for a while, and he was speechless. Du Yuesheng and others, who were present, had no choice but to play a round from it, saying that both Mr. Zhang and General Cai were patriotic, but in different ways. In the end, the banquet broke up.
On the same day, 24 January, he himself once again provoked an incident, and the secret service sent people to set fire to the residence of Chongguang Kui, the minister to China, in Shanghai, falsely claiming that it was committed by the Chinese. The situation in Shanghai became more and more tense, and the reinforcements of the Japanese army continued to rush to Shanghai, and there was a great tendency to break out, and the clouds of war gradually loomed over Shanghai.
