On May 5, a unit of the Da Chi Army arrived at the south bank of the Jinsha River, only a hundred miles away from the Ferry City.

There was a division of the Central Army and a brigade of the Sichuan Army, which was Gu Ruhu's father Gu Han. Gu Ruhu happened to be in the army.

Originally, this was a tough battle, but because of the geographical location of Dukou City, it was more beneficial to the Da Chi Army.

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

The only one left behind Dukou City is the Sichuan Army's brigade!

Gu Han is not a fool, so he naturally refused to make dumplings by others on the south bank. However, if he just withdrew like this, he felt sorry for Qin Di's annual sponsorship. After all, Dukou City not only has steel factories, but also coke factories, casting factories and other factories!

The father and son came to discuss for a while behind closed doors, and finally sent someone to secretly contact the Da Chijun and sent a letter to the other party, saying that there was a steel base invested by the Qin family at the ferry entrance, which was currently the largest steel factory in China. In any case, it could not be damaged by the war.

The next night, gunfire sounded outside the Dukou City overnight. The Da Chi Army did not attack the city, nor did they rush into the steel factory. Instead, they came to the Qin family grain shop by the river, took away some of the grain, left behind a promissory note, and then left!

The word "IOU" is very clear, atmospheric, calm, and comfortable, with a faint sense of grand spirit: "I admire Qin as a generous family for a long time, and the Da Chi Army went north to fight against Japan to the national crisis. When passing here, I borrowed 50,000 stones of grain and waited for it to be returned in the future."

The signature below is very complicated, and it uses extremely sloppy cursive script, like a ghostly talisman, and it seems to be doing it on purpose and refuses to reveal its whereabouts.

Gu Ruhu held the IOU and smiled and said, "Dad, this little grain is just a drop in the bucket for Mr. Qin. The key is that the iron smelting furnace, steel smelting furnace, and coking plant. These factories are safe and sound, and he will definitely be very happy. If the factory is destroyed because of a big battle, I guess he will cry to death!"

Gu Han nodded: "It would be good to have such an ending."

Gu Ruhu smiled and said, "Dad, I brought back two hundred machine guns last time, and most of them were stolen by you. If we really fight a war with the Da Chi Army, we will probably have the upper hand. However, Mr. Qin repeatedly warned me not to let me fight the Chinese, otherwise I would take back my martial arts."

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

The Jinsha River is very long. Even if the Qingbai Party tries every means to build positions, it cannot block the Great Red Army.

The Great Red Army finally took a breath of 50,000 shi of grain, but finally got a little breath. 5,000 shi, or 600,000 kilograms. It sounded like a lot, but when I got 20,000 soldiers, each of them was only 30 kilograms, which was not enough for a month. The problem is that if they carried too much food, they wouldn't be able to walk fast.

Since then, they have crossed the Jinsha River with 7 boats and 36 boatmen, just like in history.

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

"Just with this IOU, let alone 50,000 shi, even 1 million shi, I am willing to do it!"

"Sir, this word is very generous, but the signature is too vague. Who did you do it?"

"One day, I ask the fishermen among the flowers, and the Red Emperor's flag welcomes the fire and clouds."

Gu Ruhu glared at him: "Sir, what do you mean?"

Qin Di smiled and shook his head: "The Buddha said, you cannot say, you cannot say."

On May 8, the wind was sunny and it was suitable for going out. Qin Di followed Zhang Naijing to the "Zhang Mansion".

This "Zhang Mansion" is not Zhang Naijing's home or Zhang Danru's residence, but Zhang Jinjiang, the mansion of the Qingbai Party leader.

Although Qin Di has a good impression of this person, he rarely contacts him.

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

He made great contributions to the Qingbai Party and 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, he has a good reputation.

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

Zhang Jinjiang was discouraged and resigned from the construction committee, almost equivalent to a retired elderly person.

Qin Di came to meet Zhang Jinjiang at the invitation of Zhang Naijing, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why should this big guy see me?"

When he entered Zhang Mansion, he found that in addition to Zhang Jinjiang in a robe, there was also an elder in a suit in the living room. The elder had a light eyebrows, a clear face, a shaved beard under the jaw, and a serious expression, giving people a very majestic feeling.

Qin Di saluted Zhang Jinjiang: "My nephew has met his uncle. Who is this old man?"

Zhang Jinjiang smiled and said, "You are here just in time. This is Mr. Jiang Baili!"

Qin Di took a breath of air and said, "It turns out it is Mr. Jiang. He has heard of the famous name for a long time. It is as bright as thunder, and the bright moon is in the sky!"

Jiang Baili glanced at him and said lightly: "Don't say anything fancy and whistle, so you are not a soldier. Where have you seen me? Where did you hear my name?"

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

"Oh? Which three and a half military strategists?"

"Hehe, that's all nonsense in the tabloids. In fact, in my opinion, you are the only strategist."

Qin Di was talking while drawing records about Jiang Baili from his mind.

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

His grandfather Jiang Guangxu was a book collector and built a "Biexiazhai" library, which stored 100,000 books. His father Jiang Xueying was born with a lack of left arm, so Jiang Guangxu didn't like him and sent him to a temple to become a monk. He grew up and returned to secular life to study medicine, saved the world, and married Yang Zhenhe, the only daughter of Zhejiang Haiyan scholar and famous doctor Yang Dizhou, as his wife. She was a good wife and mother, and was also familiar with literature and became Jiang Baili's enlightenment teacher.

Jiang Baili's father died at the age of 13 and depended on his mother for life. Monks could not return to their clan, his father did not receive the inheritance, and his family lived in a difficult life.

At that time, Jiang Baili's uncle Jiang Shiyiyan invited the old scholar Uncle Ni Qin to teach his children.

Jiang Baili, who likes to study, often sneaks into the study to listen to the lecture. Uncle Ni Qin saw that he is smart and suddenly became a loving talent. Knowing that his family is in a poor state, he said to his mother: "This child is a talent that can be created. I am willing to teach Baili to study without 'shuo' (according to the customs at that time, students who have not written poetry and prose will be 6 to 8 yuan a year, and the ones that have already started writing are 8 to 12 yuan).

Jiang Baili passed the imperial examination for scholars in the year.

In 1901, three people from Fang County Magistrate Lin, and Chen Jianyuan jointly invested to send Jiang Baili to Japan to study. In 1905, he graduated from the third graduating class of the Japanese Army Non-Commissioners School and took away the Japanese Emperor's sword, who represented the first place, in front of all Japanese graduates. Since then, Jiang Baili has studied in Germany. In 1912, he served as the principal of Baoding Army Officer School. In 1933, he visited Japan and believed that the Sino-Japanese War was inevitable and formulated a variety of national defense plans. He called on the National Government to prepare for war. In 1935, he served as a senior consultant of the Military Commission.

He was the main designer of the National Government's combat plan against Japan. He personally visited the western region and believed that Chongqing and Kunming's third-line areas were the rear of the War of Resistance. The "On National Defense" he compiled became the strategic guidance basis for the Chinese army in the entire Second World War. On the title page of this thousand-minded work, he wrote the following words: "Thousands of words turned into one sentence, and China has a way."

Jiang Baili concluded that Japan will lose and China will win. His argument is consistent with "On Protracted War", but "On National Defense" was published in 1937, a year earlier than "On Protracted War".

Therefore, if we want to talk about the greatest strategist of the Republic of China, Mr. Jiang must be one of them!
