On May 5, a certain unit of the Great Red Army came to the south bank of the Jinsha River, which was only 100 miles away from Dukou City.

There is a division of the Central Army and a brigade of the Sichuan Army, that is, the brigade of Gu Ruhu's father Gu Han, who happens to be in the army.

Originally, this was a tough battle, but because of the geographical location of Dukou City, it was more favorable to the Great Red Army.

Dukou City is located on the south bank of the Jinsha River, and the Great Red Army happened to come from the south, so the Central Army was not stationed in Dukou City, but on the north bank of the Jinsha River!

What remained in Dukou City was only a brigade of the Sichuan Army!

Gu Han is not a fool, so he naturally refuses to be made dumplings on the south bank, but if he withdraws like this, he feels sorry for Qin Di's annual sponsorship, after all, there are not only steel factories in Dukou City, but also coke factories, casting factories and many other factories!

The father and son discussed behind closed doors for a while, and finally sent someone to secretly contact the Great Red Army and sent a letter to the other party, saying that the ferry has a steel base invested by the Qin family, which is currently the largest steel plant in China, and in any case, it cannot be damaged by war.

The next night, there was a night of gunfire outside Dukou City, and the Great Red Army did not attack the city, let alone rush into the steel factory, but came to the Qin Grain Store by the river, took some of the grain, left an IOU, and then left!

The words of the IOU are very clear, the atmosphere is calm, the middle is comfortable, and there is a faint sense of grandeur: "Jiumu Qin's family is a generous family, and the Great Red Army went north to resist Japan in order to go to the country, passing through here, borrowing 50,000 stones, and returning it in the future." ”

The signature underneath is very complicated, using extremely scribbled cursive, as if a ghost drawing a symbol, and as if it was deliberate, refusing to reveal his whereabouts.

Gu Ruhu put away the IOU, and then said with a smile: "Dad, this little bit of food is just a drop in the bucket for Mr. Qin. The key is the iron-making furnace, the steel-making furnace, the coking plant, these factories are safe and sound, and he will definitely be very happy. If the factory is destroyed because of a big war, I guess he will cry to death!"

Gu Han nodded: "It's good to have such an ending." ”

Gu Ruhu said with a smile: "Dad, I brought back two hundred machine guns last time, and you robbed most of them, we have these machine guns, if we really fight with the Great Red Army, we can probably have the upper hand." However, Mr. Qin repeatedly warned me not to let me fight the Chinese, otherwise I would withdraw my martial arts. ”

Gu Han sighed lightly: "He's right, let's keep the bullets and go fight the Japanese." ”

The Jinsha River is very long, and even if the Qingbai Party tries every possible way to build a position, it will not be able to stop the Great Red Army.

The Great Red Army got 50,000 stone of grain, and finally took a breath. 50,000 stones, that is, 600,000 catties, sounds like a lot, but in the hands of 20,000 soldiers, each person only has 30 catties, which is not enough to eat for a month. The problem is that if they carry too much food, they won't be able to go fast.

After that, as in history, they crossed the Jinsha River in nine days and nine nights with 7 boats and 36 boatmen.

Later, when Gu Ruhu handed over the IOU to Qin Di, Qin Di couldn't help but laugh "haha"!

"With this IOU, let alone 50,000 stones, even if it is 1 million stones, I am willing!"

"Sir, this is a very atmospheric word, but the signature is too vague, who is it?"

"One day among the flowers, ask the fisherman, the Red Emperor flag rises to the fire. ”

Gu Ruhu glared when he heard this: "Sir, what do you mean?"

Qin Di shook his head with a smile: "The Buddha said, don't say it, don't say it." ”

On May 8th, the wind was beautiful and it was suitable to go out, Qin Di followed Zhang Naijing and came to the "Zhang Mansion".

This "Zhang Mansion" is not Zhang Naijing's home, nor is it Zhang Danru's residence, but the mansion of Zhang Jinjiang, the boss of the Qingbai Party.

Although Qin Di has a good impression of this person, he rarely has contact with the other party.

At this time, Zhang Jinjiang was also 60 years old, about the same age as Qin Hancheng.

He made great contributions to the Qingbai Party, and also did a lot of practical things for the people of the Republic of China, such as building railways, power stations, etc., although he is a big capitalist, but he has a good reputation.

But since Mr. Qing sent Chen Wanru away two years ago, he has gradually drifted away from Zhang Jinjiang.

Zhang Jinjiang was disheartened and resigned from the construction committee, almost equivalent to a retired old man.

Qin Di was invited by Zhang Naijing to meet Zhang Jinjiang, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: "This big guy, why do you want to see me?"

When he entered Zhang's mansion, he found that in addition to Zhang Jinjiang in a robe, there was an elderly man in a suit in the living room, this elder had light eyebrows, a clear face, a clean beard under his chin, and a very serious expression, giving people a very majestic feeling.

Qin Di saluted Zhang Jinjiang: "The little nephew has seen my uncle." May I ask who this old gentleman is?"

Zhang Jinjiang smiled and said, "You came just in time, this is Mr. Jiang Baili!"

Qin Di gasped and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Jiang, who has heard of the name for a long time, like thunder, and the moon is in the sky!"

Jiang Baili glanced at him and said lightly: "Don't talk about the bells and whistles." You're not a soldier, so where have you seen me, and where have you heard my name?"

Qin Di said with a smile: "Some people say that there are three and a half military strategists in the Republic of China, and Mr. Jiang, you are the first. ”

"Oh, what three and a half military strategists?"

"Hehe, that's all tabloid nonsense. In fact, it seems to me that only you are the strategist. ”

As Qin Di spoke, he extracted the record about Jiang Baili from his mind.

Jiang Baili, whose name is Fang Zhen, was born in 1882 in Kipshi Town, Haining Prefecture, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, and was a famous military theorist and military educator during the Republic of China.

His grandfather, Jiang Guangxu, was a bibliophile and built a "Beixiazhai" library with a storage capacity of 100,000 books. His father, Jiang Xuehong, was born with a missing left arm, Jiang Guangxu didn't like him, and sent him to the temple to become a monk. When he grew up, he also studied medicine, hung a pot to help the world, and married Yang Zhenhe, the only daughter of Zhejiang Haiyan Xiucai and famous doctor Yang Dizhou. She is a good wife and mother, and she is fluent in literature and ink, and she became Jiang Baili's enlightenment teacher.

Jiang Baili's father died when he was 13 years old, and he and his mother depended on each other. The monks could not return to their families, their father did not receive an inheritance, and the family lived in poverty.

At that time, Jiang Baili's uncle Jiang Shiyi asked Uncle Ni Qin, an old talent, to teach his children.

Uncle Ni Qin saw that he was smart, and suddenly had a heart of love for talent, knowing that his family was poor, he said to his mother: "This child is a talent that can be created, I am willing to teach Baili to read, and I will not accept 'restraints'." ”

In 1898, 16-year-old Jiang Baili was admitted to Xiucai.

In 1901, Fang County Ling, Lin Zhifu, and Chen Jian Yuan jointly funded and sent Jiang Baili to Japan to study. In 1905, he graduated from the third graduating class of the infantry department of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and in front of all the Japanese graduates, he took away the Japanese emperor's sword, which represented the first place. After that, Jiang Baili studied in Germany. In 1912, he served as the principal of the Baoding Army Military Academy. In 1933, he went to Japan to investigate, believed that a Sino-Japanese war was inevitable, drew up a variety of national defense plans, and called on the Nationalist Government to prepare for war. In 1935, he was appointed Senior Adviser to the Military Council.

He was the main architect of the Nationalist Government's war plan against Japan, and he personally went to the western region to inspect and believed that the third-line areas of Chongqing and Kunming were the rear of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and his compilation became the basis for the strategic guidance of the Chinese army in the entire Second World War. On the title page of this masterpiece, he wrote: "A thousand words into a sentence, China has a way." ”

Jiang Baili concluded that Japan would be defeated and China would be victorious. There is some similarity with his arguments, but it was published in 1937, a year earlier.

Therefore, if you want to say the greatest strategist of the Republic of China, this old Mr. Jiang must be one of them!
