Qinglong Mountain is a mountain to the east of Nanjing City. It is about ten miles away from Nanjing. Even in later generations, this area was not open to the public. In a village in the mountain, there is a temple that has been abandoned for a long time. It is now
It took Jiang Cheng and Jiang Cheng two days to finally arrive at the station where Zhou Weiguo and others were stationed. As soon as Jiang Cheng got off the horse, he immediately felt his legs hurting and wanted to kneel down. Wang Yong next to him quickly supported Jiang Cheng.
He smiled and said, "It still doesn't work. This horse is terrible to ride. I feel like my crotch is going to be broken."
Wang Yong immediately said proudly, "That's right, I won't be able to master this skill for more than ten years. Boss, you are far behind."
Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes, okay, I'm used to getting angry when talking to this jerk.
Seeing Jiang Cheng and Wang Yong, Bashun who was guarding outside quickly came up to greet them and said, "Master, you are here."
Jiang Cheng moved and asked, "How is Yishan doing now?"
Bashun supported Jiang Cheng and said, "Let the doctor take a look. He said that he seems to have been greatly stimulated mentally. He is now at Yu's house in Nanjing. How about we go and have a look later."
Jiang Cheng only felt pain in his legs, so he said, "Let Zhou Weiguo come to me." After saying that, he found a place to sit down and rest. As soon as he sat down, he almost jumped up again. Well, his butt seemed to be swollen.
Zhou Weiguo came over quickly, and when he saw Jiang Cheng, he 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, you're not happy?"
Zhou Weiguo hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, my mission is to sneak attack the Japanese headquarters. Although we went in, we didn't catch any big fish. And now that the war has become like this, how can I be happy?"
Jiang Cheng supported the wall and said, "I will solve the problem of the headquarters. Don't worry. In addition, the war has become like this because the gap in national power between China and Japan is too large. This war will be very long. You are ready to do it next."
what to do?"
Zhou Weiguo lowered his head and said, "Although I am happy to be with the commander, I still have to go back to Nanjing."
Jiang Cheng nodded and stared at him and said, "That's fine, but you should know what to say and what not to say."
Zhou Weiguo's eyes hesitated and he said, "I understand."
Seeing Zhou Weiguo leaving with a dozen people, Jinshan said worriedly, "My boss, what if these people talk nonsense?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "Can we still force ourselves to stay? Forget it, it's going to rain. Mother wants to get married, so let him go. Let's go to Nanjing too."
Just as Jiang Cheng was about to leave, he found two people waiting for him at the door, so he asked, "Who are these two people?"
Bashun took a look and said, "It's the Professor You we rescued last time. He has been unwilling to go back, but is waiting for us here."
Jiang Cheng walked up and asked, "Why don't you two go home?"
Professor You was holding a bandage on one hand. When he saw Jiang Cheng, he said excitedly, "You must be Mr. Jiang. My name is You Li. I heard Captain Zhou say that it was you who saved us. Because of me, two people were sacrificed."
Warrior, it’s really—sigh.”
When Jiang Cheng heard him speak, he also thought of Zhou Lumang and sighed, "In war years, this is inevitable. If you want to express your apology, there is no need. After all, they are soldiers who died to protect civilians and deserved their death."
Professor You nodded and said, "I am a professor at National Central University. If you need any help from me, you can go to the university to find me."
National Central University, when Jiang Cheng heard the name, his eyes lit up.
In China in 1937, the school with the most prosperous academics, the largest number of students, and the largest number of departments was not Tsinghua University or Peking University in later generations, nor Fudan University in Shanghai, but the National Central University in Nanjing. This school can be traced back to Nanjing Taixue during the Three Kingdoms period.
Modern schooling can also be traced back to the Sanjiang Normal School in 1902. After the Nationalist government established the capital in Nanjing, it devoted all its efforts to building this university. This school is also China's highest ranking in the world university rankings of Princeton University - No. 1 in Asia.
One, tenth in the world.
It can be said that this school has the most powerful teachers and students at that time. When Jiang Cheng heard this, he immediately became jealous and said, "I will definitely find an opportunity to visit you."
Youli left after getting Jiang Cheng's promise. Jiang Cheng also went to Nanjing under Wang Yong's escort.
Although Nanjing was a little panicked at this time, it was generally calm. After all, although Shanghai had been lost, there was still a defense line, right?
Jiang Cheng came to Yu's house and 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. No one knows when he will wake up. It may be tomorrow, it may be next year, or it may never wake up." As he spoke, Yu Qiaqing couldn't help but have red circles around his eyes.
Yu Zhimin quickly stepped forward to comfort him.
Jiang Cheng looked at Yu Yishan and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Yu, I will let Yishan wake up no matter what, but Nanjing is not safe anymore. I think it's better for Yishan to move away as soon as possible."
Yu Qiaqing looked at Yu Yishan and said, "Girl is like this, is it appropriate to move?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "Leave even if it's not suitable. This place will soon become a place of death."
Yu Zhimin asked, "Can't Nanjing be defended?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "Not to mention Nanjing, even Wuhan may not be able to hold it. Zhimin, how is the transfer of machinery and personnel now?"
Yu Zhimin opened his mouth and said, "About a hundred factories have been transferred to Yan'an. Although most of them are light industries, the machines are still good. There are about 10,000 workers, their families, and young people who are willing to go to Yan'an. The slowest one
We’ve also passed Hefei.”
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "That's good, Mr. Yu, you take Yishan to Wuhan first. I expect it will be safe there for at least half a year. In addition, send some people to Chongqing, which will become the capital of the National Government."
.”
Yu Qiaqing stroked his beard and said, "Chongqing, it is indeed a good place to be a temporary capital. It is not too remote like Chengdu, nor is it easy to be attacked like Wuhan Changsha. Okay, I understand, what about you?"
Jiang Cheng looked to the north and said, "I will stay in Nanjing for a while first, and finally go to Yan'an. Before going to Yan'an, I will go to Wuhan to find you."
Yu Qiaqing nodded and said, "Although Nanjing is still peaceful on the outside, there are already undercurrents inside. After the defeat in Shanghai, many people within the National Government have begun to express pessimistic views on the war. Chairman Chiang is now under great pressure.
.”
Jiang Cheng immediately understood that Yu Qiaqing must be talking about the low-key club, and couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile, "It's just a clown. Time is urgent. I don't know how long the defense line can resist. Let's take action as soon as possible. Li Qian, protect Miss Yu."
, we can’t make any more mistakes.”
Li Qian bit her lip and nodded fiercely.
Jiang Cheng continued, "In addition, send a report to Mr. Du and Boss Huang to ask them to withdraw as well." After the arrangements were made, Jiang Cheng took Wang Yong to the National Government Building.
At this time, the Nationalist Government was debating the war after Shanghai.
After seeing everyone gathered, Agent Jiang said, "Let's get started. The Battle of Songhu has basically ended today. How are we going to fight next?"
Bai Chongxi was the first to say, "The committee is just like what I said at the beginning, step by step, using the defense line to block the Japanese army, but just in case, we now have to consider the issue of Nanjing."
He Yingqin went on to say, "Since the Japanese army was advancing along the Shanghai-Nanjing Line, the surrounding people began to retreat to Nanjing. After all, in their view, Nanjing has high walls, thick walls, and heavy military guards. It is the safest place around. So whether Nanjing is
Whether to defend or not, these people must find a way to solve it. If we want to defend, so many people will only get in the way, and a lot of food will be consumed. If we don't defend, then we must also notify these people and let them continue to retreat."
Agent Jiang turned around and asked, "How many people are there in Nanjing now?"
Chen Brai next to him said, "There were originally about 1.5 million people in Nanjing. Since August 13, more than half of them have evacuated. Most of these people have some money at home, and the rest are mostly poor people who cannot afford to evacuate."
, plus the people who are now concentrated in Nanjing from all over the country, the number may exceed 700,000."
Agent Jiang shook his hand and said, "It's too many. Continue to evacuate immediately and ask those who are capable to leave Nanjing immediately. We are here to be a battlefield and a big tomb for the Japanese army. How can we fight with so many ordinary people here?"
Bai Chongxi said in surprise, "Commissioner, do you mean to prepare for a defensive battle in Nanjing?"
Agent Jiang said matter-of-factly, "Shouldn't we fight? This is our capital."
Bai Chongxi looked embarrassed, but didn't know what to say, so he looked at Falkenhausen. Falkenhausen nodded and said, "Chairman, the calculation of our advisory group is that Nanjing cannot be defended. Nanjing relies on the Yangtze River, and
We don’t have a navy. Although ships sank in Jiangyin and blocked the waterway, it is only a matter of time to clear these things. It can be said that once a war starts in Nanjing, there will be no victory but defeat."
Agent Jiang looked at everyone with a sullen face and said, "Then does anyone think it can be defended?"
Everyone sat quietly in the meantime without saying a word.
At this time, there was an explosion, and the guard outside the door came in and said, "Report, Japanese planes are bombing Nanjing, and our guard troops are fighting back. Sirs, please don't worry."
Agent Jiang nodded and said, "Let's go down." After speaking, he said to everyone, "As for the issue of Nanjing guards, I am going to hold a special meeting tomorrow. The key now is to withdraw the troops safely. Now we only have two gendarmerie troops in Nanjing."
The regiment and the first unit of the Central Teaching Corps did not even have 20,000 people, which was really too weak. In addition, send a message to Gu Zhutong and Chen Cheng in Anhui to ask their opinions, and finally let the government prepare to evacuate to Chongqing.
"
After everyone left, Agent Jiang stood on the balcony, clenching his fists tightly and looking at the fierce battle between Chinese and Japanese planes in the sky. He secretly said, "Your Japanese planes can force me, Mr. Jiang, away from Nanjing, but if you want me, this is the way."
Don't even think about surrendering! I, Jiang, will never surrender so easily."
At this time Dai Li knocked on the door and came in and said, "Principal, Jiang Cheng wants to see you."
Upon hearing this, Agent Jiang turned around and said, "Oh, let him come to my place."
After a while, Jiang Cheng came in and said, "Okay, please take a seat."
Agent Jiang said with a cold face, "That's not good of me. Someone clearly had the opportunity to turn Shanghai from defeat to victory, but he gave up a great opportunity for a woman. How brave he is."
When Jiang Cheng heard the cynicism of Jiang's agent, he said, "Committee, Matsui Iwane and others had left the headquarters at that time. It would be of no use even if I really brought a division in. Moreover, my losses were extremely heavy."
"
The intelligence that Jiang's agent got from Zhou Weiguo was that nearly half of Jiang Cheng's troops were killed or wounded, and he also got the intelligence that Matsui Iwane was not at the headquarters at the time, so he stopped talking about this topic and nodded and said, "What do you want to do with your visit?"
Jiang Cheng said with a smile, "What big thing can a small person like me do? I'm just here to deliver a piece of information."
When Agent Jiang heard the information, he was a little embarrassed. After all, Jiang Cheng had told him about Jinshan Guard in advance. He waved his cane unnaturally and said, "Let's talk."
Jiang Cheng said seriously, "Japan has sent King Jiuyan of Asaka Palace to China."
Agent Jiang said incomprehensively, "So what? He is just a relative of the Japanese emperor."
Jiang Cheng continued, "The problem is what he said in Tokyo. He said many times in private in Tokyo that he would raze Nanjing to the ground and kill all the captured soldiers in order to achieve supreme martial arts."
Agent Jiang laughed and said, "That's just a declaration of war. It's nothing. You don't doubt that he dared to massacre in Nanjing."
Jiang Cheng shouted loudly, "He dares!!!"
Agent Jiang was stunned, then stepped forward and touched Jiang Cheng's head and said, "Are you okay? Nanjing is the capital of China, with a population of millions, and countless foreigners and consulates. Unless the Japanese are crazy, how can they do this?"
Something like this happened."
Jiang Cheng said like a machine gun, "Chairman, think about Lushun back then, think about Northeast China back then, and now Tianzhen in Shanxi and Baoshan in Shanghai. Where have the Japanese not killed and massacred along the way?
In their eyes, war is an excuse for everything. As long as they are under the cover of war, they can do anything that violates the most basic morality of mankind. When we question them, they will say that it is all because of war.
It’s not because of us. This is the Japanese. Chairman, are you going to risk the lives of hundreds of thousands of people?”
Agent Jiang pressed his cane hard and said, "Do you know who you are talking to? What is your attitude?"
Jiang Cheng also replied loudly, "I am talking to the head of our country, and this is my attitude!"
The two stared at each other. After a while, Jiang Cheng took a step back and said, "Chairman, my information is absolutely accurate. You should have seen Wei Hua's abilities in the past few months. The Yu family
The eldest lady is unconscious now. I'm in a bad mood. I'm sorry. But Nanjing is really dangerous. Once the Japanese army enters the city, unspeakable things will happen."
Agent Jiang turned back and said, "You are under great pressure and you are in a bad mood. Are you more stressed than me? Are you in a worse mood than me? I don't know. Also, you are so sure that Nanjing City cannot be defended."
What?"
Agent Jiang strode to the door angrily. Before opening the door, Agent Jiang took a breath and said, "Gu Quan, I listened to your words. I understand the nature of the Japanese better than you. In fact, I have already dealt with the matter of dispersing the people."
I did it, and I was negligent about Jinshanwei."
Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered and said, "By the way, if Nanjing is to be defended, Tang Zhisheng must not be chosen as the defender."
Agent Jiang looked at him suspiciously and closed the door without saying a word, leaving Jiang Cheng alone in the conference room looking at the closed door.
When Jiang Cheng left the National Government, he saw policemen everywhere on the streets persuading people to move. Jiang Cheng sighed softly and said, "Let's go to the National University of Central China."
At this time, the Central State University had seven colleges: liberal arts, science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, law, and normal school, with more than 3,000 teachers and students. This was an extremely terrifying number in this era. You must know that all of China at this time
There are only just 40,000 college students.
When Jiang Cheng entered the school, he found that it was empty and there were not many people. Jiang Cheng came to the address Youli mentioned. Wang Yong went up and knocked on the door, and saw Youli walking out with one hand hanging.
When Youli saw Jiang Cheng, he said excitedly, "My benefactor, you are here. Hurry, sit inside."
Jiang Cheng walked into the room and found that it was full of battleship design drawings and books. He asked curiously, "Can Professor You know how to build a battleship?"
Yuli sighed and said, "It's just the skill of slaying dragons. The Japanese originally captured me because they wanted me to help them design and build warships. I have studied shipbuilding all my life. But I can only write and draw on the blueprints."
Jiang Cheng looked at these drawings and said, "These are not dragon-slaying skills, they are the Midas touch. Professor You, I wonder what you are going to do in the future?"
Youli looked at the sky and said, "I am going to move to Chongqing with the school and do research there."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "I wonder if you are willing to go to Yan'an?"
"Yan'an, isn't that the place where the Red Party belongs? Besides, what can be done there?"
Jiang Cheng said seductively, "There are many scholars and professors in Yan'an now, and there are many books from advanced Western countries. In addition, they are also doing laboratories for various scholars. I believe you will have better development space there.
of."
Youli hesitated for a moment and said, "You are my savior. I should have listened to you, but I registered it at the school as soon as I came back. It's not easy to leave now."
Only then did Jiang Cheng learn that in order to ensure that the National Central University could move to Chongqing smoothly, the National Government asked everyone to register, and that a large number of teachers and students were already in the process of moving, and now the last batch were left.
Jiang Cheng gave up. Later, Jiang Cheng learned in Yan'an that the Red Party had actually had an underground party organization at the National Central University for a long time. It was just because it was not convenient to call people to Yan'an in Nanjing, so they lurked down. But these people were in Nanjing.
It played an important role in ensuring that China's highest university was successfully accepted by the Red Party in the future.
