Chapter 224 Major General and Young Master

Just in early 1937, the "Seven Gentlemen Incident" occurred in the Demon City.

The Jinling National Government arrested seven leaders of the National Rescue Association, including Chen Junru, Zhang Naiqi, Zou Taofen, Shi Liang, Li Gongpu, Wang Zaoshi, and Sha Qianli, in the Demon Capital for the crime of "endangering the Republic of China". It was transferred to the Suzhou Jiangsu High Court for the detention. Since the seven people all had professional social status, they were called the "Seven Gentlemen Incident".

This incident aroused strong protests and condemnations from people across the country and people from all walks of life at home and abroad.

It was not until the July 7 Incident that the government announced the release of seven people including Chen Junru and others with bail.

This incident complements the Xi'an incident, which shows that the national anti-Japanese atmosphere is in high spirits and Qin Di is not fighting alone.

In fact, Qin Di's work was done secretly, and not many people knew about his efforts. In the impression of Chinese people, he was always a negative image of a playboy, and he himself was too lazy to correct it.

For immortals, mortal evaluation is insignificant.

Some people like to embellish themselves and try to be tall and noble. In fact, they are all half-baked and have too shallow skills, which is why.

Qin Di is not the case. His starting point is too high and he does not need a reputation in the world. Everything comes from his original heart. As long as his conscience is acceptable, why care about what others say?

He felt: "The way of heaven can reduce the excess and make up for the shortcomings. If an immortal wants to hide in the market, he needs to reveal some flaws so that he will not be struck by lightning. Those perfect people will definitely not have a good ending!

The Emperor Taishang Laojun said: People are weak in life, and they are strong in death. The plants and trees are soft and fragile in life, and they are withered in death. Therefore, the strong people die, and the weak people live. Therefore, the strong soldiers will be destroyed, and the strong trees will be broken. The strong places are lower and the weak places are higher.

Zang Kejia's poem also said the same thing: Those who ride on the people will throw him down; those who make cattle and horses for the people will always remember him! Those who carve their names into stones will rot earlier than the corpse; as long as the spring breeze blows, there are green weeds everywhere..."

These principles are not only suitable for Qin Di, but also for everyone in the world!

People are doing it, and the heaven is watching. The higher you hold it, the harder you fall, the bigger you are, the more you have to walk on thin ice, otherwise you will die miserably.

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

That 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: "For the New Year, Mr. Qing didn't stay in Jinling to worship, why did he run to the Demon City? Why did he meet 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 Demonic City! Did he meet the Golden Banyan? It was not mentioned in history books.

Qin Di came to Du Mansion and saw that the Golden Banyan was also there. 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 Qing Gang had changed. Du Yuesheng had a slight advantage in the past.

When Mr. Qing saw Qin Di coming, he waved with a smile: "Come on, speak closer."

Qin Di stepped forward to see: "I have met Mr. Qing."

Mr. Qing looked him up and down and smiled, "Qin Di, after more than ten years of separation, you seem to have not changed much?"

Qin Di said: "Mr. Qing, you have not changed much, it looks the same as before."

"What was I like back then?"

"You were handsome and upright back then, with a brilliant bones, and you were rare in the world."

"Haha, you can speak. Now I am nearly fifty years old and have nothing to do with these words."

"Men are handsome only when they are middle-aged, especially you, Mr. Qing."

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

"Yes, my surname is Qin, my name is Di, my name is Zhengyin, and my nickname is Chunqiu."

Mr. Qing nodded slightly: "Well, this name is good. I'll call you 'Chunqiu'. I'll call you this time, because I have something to ask you."

Qin Di turned his head to look at the three tycoons and said, "Sir, please tell me."

Mr. Qing said: "I heard that the Qin family has transferred assets. 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 a very independent person. Even if I say it, it will be useless."

However, he pretended to be pondering, paused for a moment, and said, "I roughly agree with Mr. Baili's "On National Defense". The Japanese are powerful, like a strong man two meters tall; China is weak, like a teenager of one and two meters tall. We must use softness to overcome hardness, be patient and fight slowly, and at the same time mobilize the people to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and not give the Japanese a chance to rob. Otherwise, if the Japanese rob our food, gold, silver and minerals, they will gradually grow, which will be even more difficult to fight."

Mr. Qing said: "If the country's troops are concentrated and a decisive battle is held in the Demon City, what do you think will be the result?"

Qin Di said: "Sir, please forgive me for your fault. This war is extraordinary. The Japanese are strong and powerful. They may kill Wuhan in one go and occupy most of China. I am not afraid of anything else, just fearing that civilians will be massacred and countless women and children will be destroyed... Especially in the capital of Jinling, once the war begins, please withdraw the people in the city..."

Mr. Qing shook his head: "You are a little alarmist. Do you say that the Japanese are crazy? How dare you kill civilians? There are no people in the city, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city panic first. How can you fight?"

Qin Di looked around and stopped talking.

Mr. Qing said: "I came here today, and my original intention was to include the disciples of the Qing Gang into the series of the Zhongyi National Salvation Army. I have appointed Du Yuesheng as the director of the Songhu Nodal Movement Corps of the Military Commission and awarded the rank of lieutenant general. I would like to ask you to be the deputy director and award the rank of major general. I wonder what you mean by what you want?"

Qin Di's eyes turned, made a dilemma, and said, "I'm born idle, I'm afraid I can't do it."

Mr. Qing said: "I heard that you donated a large amount of money. As long as you can continue to provide funds and assist the operation of the Rangers in all aspects, then the rank of Major General is yours! 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 the rank of major general! With this rank, I'm happy for the time being, but what should I do after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War? Could it be that I was forced to go into exile overseas?"

Mr. Qing frowned and his voice became sharp: "The country is in trouble, and the Qin family is the richest man in the Republic of China. Do you not even have this responsibility?"

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

"Hmph, there is no order without rules. Do you mean that you don't like the Qingbai Party's military uniforms and have other ideas in your mind?"

"Mr. Qing, you are too worried. I like to be free and at will, leisurely, go in and out of the dance hall and linger in the casino. Didn't that defile the rank of major general?"

Mr. Qing slapped the table with a "sn't a good idea! I know you're not a pampering bag! You cheated three letters from me more than ten years ago. Can you be an ordinary person? Over the years, the wealth of the Qin family has blown up like bubbles, and I know you have played a key role in it! Therefore, you have to want this rank of major general, and you have to want it even if you don't want it! Anyway, the Military Department Archives will record your name in it!"

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

The three tycoons of the Qing Gang next to him were stunned when they heard what he said.

Mr. Qing said: "This matter is decided! Come on, take the general's uniform!"

Immediately, a military officer walked in, holding a tea-green military uniform in his hand, with the national emblem of blue sky and white sun on the hat, surrounded by Jiahe and plum blossoms. There was a plum blossom pattern on the collar, a gold brick and a star, representing the level of a major general. There were corresponding armbands on his arm.

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

"Come on the Spring and Autumn Period, the Party and the country will count on young people like you!"

Qin Di grinned: "President, what kind of official is the major general? How many soldiers can he lead? I heard that the regiment commander can be a major general. There are many major generals like dogs, and the lieutenant generals are walking around. Is that true?"

Mr. Qing scolded: "Nonsense! That was 35 years ago! The military ranks were unified in the past two years. The regiment commander was only a colonel, the brigade commander was a major general, and most of the division commanders were major generals; the military commander was a lieutenant general, and a small number of elite division commanders were lieutenant generals! You have never even attended a military academy, and you only took out a sum of money and gave you the title of major general, which is already a good deal!"

After saying this, he waved his hands to the people present and took a step away!

Qin Di looked at Huang Jinrong and asked with a smile: "Mr. Huang, what is your military rank?"

Huang Jinban shook his head: "I'm old and can't do it anymore."

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

Zhang Xiaolin's cheeks twitched twice and said, "I am the same as you, and I have the rank of major general."

Only Du Yuesheng is a lieutenant general present, and obviously the president valued him very much.

Du Yuesheng looked at Qin Di and smiled and said, "Mr. Qin, if you are not satisfied, I can change it with you."

Qin Di shook his head: "What to change! A major general is uncomfortable enough! If he becomes a lieutenant general, will he have a life of life? I was cheated by you!"

Needless to say, it must be Du Yuesheng who said in front of Mr. Qing. If Mr. Qing couldn't remember him, he insisted on summoning him at this time.

Du Yuesheng couldn't help but scream: "Mr. Qin, you wronged me. As soon as Mr. Qing came, he asked, could you please invest in the formation of a 5,000-person Ranger team? I said you had already put out a lot of money, so he called you over."

Qin Di said: "Forget it, since both parties have cooperated anyway, I will be reluctant to do it. Being a major general is just like."

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

After Qin Di returned, he thought about it carefully and felt that Mr. Qing would not give up a major general for no reason. He should have wanted to pull the Qin family into the chariot. In this way, it would be easier to dispatch 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 have never liked the Qingbai Party, so why was I pulled over by Mr. Qing for no reason? This is a big stain on my life! I, a reincarnated immortal, was actually bullied by mortals. The old cow didn't drink water and insisted on pressing his head! It's really outrageous!

However, since I want to contribute to the War of Resistance, I cannot break up with all the forces.

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

Even the Jiuzhou Army has changed its clothes, and I am not a fool."
