At the beginning of 1937, the "Seven Gentlemen Incident" also occurred in the magic capital.

The Jinling Nationalist Government arrested seven leaders of the National Salvation Association, including Shen Junru, Zhang Naiqi, Zou Taofen, Shi Liang, Li Gongpu, Wang Zaoshi, and Sha Qianli, for the crime of "endangering the Republic of China" in the magic capital. He was transferred to the Suzhou Jiangsu Provincial High Court for detention. Since all 7 of them have professional social status, it is known as the "Seven Gentlemen Incident".

This incident has aroused strong protest and condemnation from the people of the whole country and people from all walks of life at home and abroad.

It was not until after the outbreak of the "77" incident that the government announced the release of Shen Junru and seven others on bail.

This incident and the Xi'an Incident complement each other, showing that the anti-Japanese atmosphere in the whole country is high, and Qin Di is not fighting alone.

In fact, Qin Di's work is carried out secretly, and not many people know about his efforts, and in the impression of the Chinese people, he has always been a negative image of a playboy, and he himself is too lazy to correct it.

For immortals, mortal evaluation is insignificant.

Some people like to whitewash themselves and try to make a tall appearance, but in fact, they are all half-, and their skills are too shallow, so they will be like this.

Qin Di is different, his starting point is too high, he doesn't need worldly reputation, everything can be done out of his own heart, as long as his conscience is passable, why care what others say?

He felt: "The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than is lost." If the immortals want to hide in the city, they need to show some flaws so that they will not be struck by lightning. Those who are perfect must not end well!

Taishang Laojun said: A person's life is also weak, and his death is also strong. The life of plants and trees is also brittle, and its death is withered. Therefore the strong are dead, and the weak are alive. If the soldier is strong, it will be destroyed, and if the wood is strong, it will be broken. The strong are below, and the weak are above.

The poems of the Zang Kejia also say the same thing: Whoever rides on the people's head, the people will crush him, and whoever makes cattle and horses for the people, the people will always remember him! The name of the one who carves his name into the stone rots earlier than the corpse, and wherever the spring breeze blows, there are green weeds everywhere..."

These truths are not only suitable for Qin Di, but also for all people in the world!

People are doing it, the sky is watching, the higher they hold it, the harder they fall, the more big people are, the more they have to walk on thin ice, otherwise they will die miserably.

February 11, 1937, was the first day of the Lunar New Year.

This morning, Du Yuesheng suddenly called: "Mr. Qin, come quickly, Mr. Qing wants to see you!"

Qin Di was a little surprised, and thought to himself: "What is Mr. Qing doing when he doesn't stay in Jinling for the Chinese New Year, but comes to the Demon Capital? Why does he want to see me? This is a strange thing!"

He didn't know that on this day in history, Mr. Qing really met Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin in the Demon Capital! Did he see the Golden Banyan Tree?

Qin Di came to the Du Mansion and saw that the golden banyan was also there, and there were not many people at the scene, only Mr. Qing and the three tycoons of the Qing Gang.

At this time, the power of the three tycoons of the Green Gang has changed, and Du Yuesheng is in her prime and has a faint upper hand.

When Mr. Qing saw Qin Di coming, he smiled and beckoned: "Come, come close and speak." ”

Qin Di stepped forward to see: "I've seen Mr. Qing." ”

Mr. Qing looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "Qin Di, after more than ten years, you don't seem to have changed much?"

Qin Di said: "Mr. Qing, you haven't changed much, you look the same as back then." ”

"What was I like back then?"

"Back then, you were handsome and straight, with strange bones, which was rare in the world. ”

"Haha, you can talk. Now that I'm in my fifties, I don't have anything to do with these words. ”

"Men are handsome until they are middle-aged, and this is especially true of you, Mr. Qing. ”

"Qin Di, do you have a font size?"

"Yes, my surname is Qin, my name is Di, the word is positive, and the number is Spring and Autumn. ”

Mr. Qing nodded slightly: "Well, this name is not bad, I'll call you 'Spring and Autumn'." I called you this time because I have something to ask you. ”

Qin Di turned his head to look at the three tycoons, and then said, "Sir, please speak." ”

Mr. Qing said: "I heard that the Qin family has transferred assets, and I want to ask you, what do you think about the future situation?"

Qin Di thought to himself: "Do you believe what I say? You are very assertive, even if I say it, it will be useless." ”

However, he still pretended to be silent, paused for a moment, and said: "I roughly agree with Mr. Baili's "Theory of National Defense". The Japanese are powerful, like a strong man two meters tall, and the Chinese are weak, like a boy of one meter two. We must overcome rigidity with softness, fight slowly with patience, and at the same time mobilize the people to clear the wilderness and not give the Japanese a chance to plunder. Otherwise, the Japanese will rob us of our grain, gold, silver and minerals, and they will gradually grow stronger, and it will be even more difficult to fight. ”

Mr. Qing said: "If you concentrate the strength of the whole country and have a decisive battle in the Demon Capital, what do you think will be the result?"

Qin Di said: "Sir, please forgive me for saying that this battle is extraordinary, the Japanese are strong and strong, and they may kill Wuhan in one go and occupy most of China." I am not afraid of anything but the slaughter of civilians and the destruction of countless women and children...... Especially in Jinling, the national capital, once the war starts, please evacuate the people in the city......"

Mr. Qing shook his head: "You are a little alarmist. Could it be that the Japanese are crazy? How dare they wantonly kill civilians? There are no civilians in the city, and the officers and men defending the city panic first, so how can they still fight?"

Qin Di looked around and stopped talking.

Mr. Qing said: "I came here today, the original intention was to include the disciples of the Qinggang in the series of the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army, and I have appointed Du Yuesheng as the director of the Songhu Special Brigade of the Military Committee and awarded the rank of lieutenant general. I want to ask you to be the deputy director and confer the rank of major general, I don't know what you think?"

Qin Di's eyes rolled, and he looked embarrassed, and said, "I was born idle, I'm afraid I can't do it." ”

Mr. Qing said: "I heard that you have donated a large amount of money, as long as you can continue to provide funds to assist the operation of the Einsatzgruppen in all aspects, then this rank of major general belongs to you! I didn't let you go to the front line to fight, what are you afraid of?"

Qin Di thought to himself: "I'm afraid of this rank of major general! With this rank, it's refreshing for the time being, but after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, what can I do? Could it be that I will be forced to go into exile overseas?"

Mr. Qing frowned, and his voice became sharper: "The national crisis is at the head, the Qin family is the richest man in the Republic of China, don't you even have this responsibility?"

Qin Di said: "Mr. Qing, I promised to fund the Einsatzgruppen, but I want to be a civilian. ”

"Hmph, there are no rules. Could it be that you don't like the military uniforms of the Blue and White Party, and you have other thoughts in your heart?"

"Mr. Qing, you are too worried. I like to be free, to do whatever I want, to be in and out of the dance hall, to hang out in the casino, and that doesn't tarnish the rank of major general?"

Mr. Qing slapped the table: "Hugh wants to make these excuses! I know you are not a wine bag and rice bag! You deceived me out of three pieces of letterhead more than ten years ago, can you be an ordinary person? Over the years, the wealth of the Qin family has blown up like a bubble, and I know that you have played a key role in it! Therefore, you have to ask for this rank of major general, and you have to ask for it if you don't! Anyway, the archives of the military department will enter your name!"

When Qin Di heard this, he couldn't help crying and laughing: "Mr. Qing, you can't play with me like this!"

When the three tycoons of the Green Gang next to him heard him say this, they shrank back one by one and were dumbfounded.

Mr. Qing said: "This matter is so decided! Someone, bring the military uniform!"

Immediately, a military attache walked in, holding a set of tea-green military uniforms, a large pan hat with the blue sky and white sun national emblem, and surrounded by Jiahe and plum blossoms. There is a plum blossom pattern on the collar, a gold brick and a star, representing the rank of major general. There is also a corresponding armband on the arm.

Mr. Qing personally picked up the hat, buckled Qin Di on his head, and then slapped it twice on the shoulder!

"Spring and Autumn, come on, the party-state is counting on young people like you!"

Qin Di grinned: "May I ask the president, what kind of officer is a major general? How many soldiers can he lead? I heard that the regiment commander can be a major general, and there are as many major generals as dogs, and lieutenant generals are walking around, isn't that the case?"

Mr. Qing reprimanded: "Nonsense! That was 35 years ago! The regiment commander is only a colonel, the brigade commander is a major general, and most of the division commanders are major generals; the army commander is a lieutenant general, and a small number of elite division commanders are lieutenant generals! You have never even attended a military school, and you will only be given the rank of major general with a sum of money, which is already cheaper for you!"

After saying this, he waved his hand at the few people present and walked away directly!

Qin Di looked at the golden banyan and asked with a smile, "Mr. Huang, what rank are you?"

Huang Jinrong shook his head: "I'm too old to do it." ”

Qin Di asked Zhang Xiaolin again: "How are you?"

Zhang Xiaolin's cheeks jumped twice, and said, "I'm the same as you, and I also have the rank of major general." ”

Only Du Yuesheng was a lieutenant general present, and it was obvious that the president valued him very much.

Du Yuesheng looked at Qin Di and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin, if you are not satisfied, I can exchange with you." ”

Qin Di shook his head: "What to change! A major general is uncomfortable enough! If you become a lieutenant general, will you still have a way to live? I can be regarded as being cheated by you!"

Needless to say, Du Yuesheng must have spoken in front of Mr. Qing, or Mr. Qing couldn't remember him, so he had to summon him at this time.

Du Yuesheng couldn't help but cry out: "Mr. Qin, you have wronged me." As soon as Mr. Qing arrived, he asked, "Can you fund the formation of a 5,000-strong Einsatzgruppen?" I said that you had already come up with a lot of money, so he called you over. ”

Qin Di said: "That's it, anyway, the two parties have cooperated, and I am reluctant to make it difficult, just be a major general." ”

After the Xi'an Incident, the Kyushu Army was reorganized, with Commander-in-Chief Zhu being a general and Deputy Commander Peng being a lieutenant general.

After Qin Di went back, he pondered it carefully, and felt that Mr. Qing would not give away the rank of major general for no reason, he should want to pull the Qin family into the chariot, so that it would be easier to dispatch the reserve grain of the Qin family's grain store.

Therefore, the more Qin Di thought about it, the more he felt that he had suffered a loss.

"I've never liked the Qingbai Party, why was I inexplicably dragged over by Mr. Qing? This is a big stain on my life! I, a reincarnated immortal, was actually bullied by mortals, and the old cow didn't drink water, but wanted to force his head!

However, since I want to play a part in the war of resistance, I can't make trouble with all forces.

After all, the united front of the whole nation requires the joint efforts of all people.

Even the Kyushu Army has changed its clothes, and it doesn't hurt me to be stunned. ”
