One October night in Nanjing, on the second floor of a boat on the Qinhuai River, Ouyang Yun, Jiang Shuren, and Chen Shichang were sitting around a table with a cup of tea in front of them. Not far from them, a man in a
The woman in cheongsam is playing the guzheng,
There were more than thirty people in Ouyang Yun's party. In order to ensure his safety, Shan Renxiong and Guo Biao each selected a dozen elite members from Da Dao and Lang Ya to form a guard team. And secretly, there was also a team from Hu Tong.
Responsible for pathfinding and perimeter security,
When he first learned about such a security arrangement, Ouyang Yun felt that it was too exaggerated and seemed to be ostentatious. Forget it, the members of the Big Sword were all members of the former chairman's special guard. They must be familiar faces in Nanjing.
If you see it and spread it to someone's ears, God knows what the consequences will be.
Guo Biao insisted, and even Zhang Zhen thought it was necessary. According to him, the water in Nanjing was too muddy and there were too many big fish. Many of them had coveted Xuebingshi and Ren Qiu for a long time, so they were still prepared.
good,
Chen Shichang came to Nanjing for the first time and was deeply impressed by the prosperity of Nanjing. They entered the city in the evening, just after get off work and dinner time. They looked at the hotels on the street, the cars passing by from time to time, and listened to the surrounding scenery. Amid the bustle of people, he couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know when our Renqiu will develop like this."
After they entered the city, Hutong Team sent someone to deliver several cars that they had rented early. The three of them got into the same Ford. Ouyang Yun said with a smile: "Shichang, you really dare to think
Ah, this is the capital, we are nothing like Renqiu, we are not even mid-level cities, there is no comparison."
Jiang Shuren also laughed and said: "Ouyang, what you said is a bit presumptuous. Yes, Renqiu was indeed just a small city before our military training division came here, but now it is definitely within the reach of a medium-sized city.
Nanjing just relies on its deep foundation. After all, it is the ancient capital of six dynasties. However, I believe that based on the current development trend of Renqiu, if it has 20 or 30 years, it will definitely be worthy of Nanjing."
Ouyang Yun shook his head and said nothing: I hope there will be twenty or thirty years of development time, but are there any other bandit countries that the Japanese are willing to do?
Before the delegation came to Nanjing, Mu Jiandie had already sent over the arrangements for the division headquarters. For this reason, the Hutong Nanjing team specially chartered a boat as a shelter for the delegation.
I have to say that this idea is a bit crazy. Although the high-ranking officials in Nanjing have time to go to the boat, no one would have thought that a serious unit like the delegation of the Military Academy would choose it as a temporary residence.
The journey was relatively smooth. The delegation arrived one day earlier than scheduled. As for how to arrange the extra time in the day, Ouyang Yun gradually figured out how to arrange the extra time. Amidst the sound of the guzheng, Ouyang Yun picked up the tea bowl and said to Chen Shichang: "Shichang,
Tomorrow Mr. Jiang and I are going to visit Chairman Lin Sen. You can take a few more people to have a good stroll in Nanjing's business district. Find out about the market situation in Nanjing and see what is currently selling best. If possible, help merchants popularize televisions.
Knowledge."
Chen Shichang nodded and accepted, and Ouyang Yunzhuan said to Jiang Shuren: "Mr. Jiang, do you think it is possible to meet Chairman Lin if we don't make an appointment?"
"It shouldn't be difficult. Chairman Lin is called the head of state of our country, but in fact he is very leisurely. However, what do we do when we go to visit him? Generally speaking, people who are too leisurely do not have real power." Jiang Shuren described Lin Sen in this way.
That's polite, because in other people's minds, Lin Sen's title of chairman often has the word "puppet" attached to it.
"Out of respect, is that enough of a reason?"
Jiang Shuren smiled, but he didn't believe this nonsense in his heart. He had a good understanding of Ouyang Yun after being so close to him. On the surface, this young man seemed simple-minded and easy to be impulsive, but afterwards he looked carefully After some analysis, it was found that his impulsiveness always produced some unexpected consequences. It was obvious that this young man was actually good at calculations. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the military training division to develop from a training class of more than 200 people to what it is today. The scale is actually going to be upgraded to an army. How long has it been? If time passes, Jiang Shuren thought, looking at Ouyang Yun's face that looked like a young man, he felt strange in his heart.
As Jiang Shuren expected, Ouyang Yun certainly would not visit Lin Sen just out of respect. Although, from the bottom of his heart, Lin Sen was indeed a person he respected, but he had a bigger plan in mind.
As we all know, in history, although Lin Sen was the chairman of the National Government and held this position until his unfortunate death in a car accident in 1943, Chiang Kai-shek reorganized the government when he was impeached and resigned in 1031, dividing the real power into five chambers. Therefore, the chairman is actually an honorary title without any real power. Lin Sen also deeply understands this. Therefore, not only does he never get involved in political affairs, but he also strictly restrains his subordinates and prevents them from getting involved in various parties. Such political disputes, regardless of whether Lin Sen is really very broad-minded or as the world today says: cautious and silent, only then can he secure the chairmanship. At least this forbearance makes Ouyang Yun admire him, and his idea is , If you want to change China's position in World War II, if Chiang Kai-shek doesn't cooperate, can you ask Lin Sen for help? Of course, there must be a prerequisite to achieve this step, that is, the word "puppet" in front of the chairman must be changed. take it away,
As Jiang Shuren described, although he is the head of a country, Lin Sen's work is really very leisurely. When Ouyang Yun handed his business card to his secretary and asked him to report on his behalf, Chairman Lin was practicing big calligraphy with a writing brush. Woolen cloth,
"Chairman, there is a young man named Ouyang Yun outside asking to see you." The secretary glanced at the business card and handed it to Lin Sen respectfully.
Lin Sen replied without raising his head: "Didn't I tell you that Wu asked him to meet Jiang, and Wen asked him to meet Wang."
"I told him so, but he said you would meet him because he does not belong to those two types of people."
"Oh." Lin Sen became interested. He picked up the business card and looked at it. He saw "Commander of the Military Academy, Director of Renqiu Autonomous Region Ouyang Yun" printed on it. He sneered at first: "He is not those two kinds of people. He is the same." People have both kinds." After saying that, he looked at it for a while and said, "But I heard that this person is also called the 'Anti-Japanese Heroes'. See you."
"Okay, I'll invite them in right now."
"Are they, the anti-Japanese heroes, all here?" Lin Sen was even more interested,
"Probably not. The two anti-Japanese heroes are both young, but the one with Ouyang Yun is already in his thirties."
"Chairman Lin." After Ouyang Yun and Jiang Shuren came in, the former immediately gave a standard military salute, while the latter bent down. Lin Sen was wiping his hands with a wet towel. He nodded to them and said, "Please sit down. , although my place is called an office, it is actually similar to my personal study room, so you can do whatever you want."
Ouyang Yun looked at the straw paper still spread on his desk. There were a few lines of strong cursive written on it. The brush and inkstone on one side were placed on it. He and Jiang Shuren looked at each other and found a seat to sit down. Jiang Shuren said: "I didn't expect it. I'm really sorry for disturbing the chairman's calligraphy practice."
"It's okay. You can practice calligraphy at any time, but you can't see some people at all times." Lin Sen smiled kindly, first asked his secretary to serve tea, and then looked at Ouyang Yun with interest. Yun was a little embarrassed, so he smiled slightly and asked, "Are you Ouyang Yun?"
Ouyang Yun stood up and replied respectfully: "Yes."
"Sit down, this is not a business meeting, otherwise I wouldn't meet you. Ouyang Yun, you are very young. By the way, did you really kill more than two hundred Japanese as reported in the newspaper? And you also chopped Take their heads off, the Japanese are most afraid of being beheaded, so it’s no wonder they see you as a thorn in their side, young man, you did a good job.” I don’t know if it’s because it’s hard to find anyone to chat with during working hours, but once Lin Sen started chatting, He was a bit eloquent,
Ouyang Yun smiled modestly and said: "Chairman, it's all written in the newspapers. There are so many. If I really have that ability, do I have to go to great lengths to form a military training division? I can just carry a big sword and kill the Japanese all by myself." It’s just the brain.”
Lin Sen smiled. He liked Ouyang Yun's tone of voice very much. He didn't have an official accent and was not hypocritically modest. Thinking of the legendary military scholar, his curiosity aroused and he stopped caring about his self-discipline in dealing with political affairs. He asked: "Your military training division fought two battles with the Japanese and won big victories in both battles. Is this true?"
As a veteran of the Kuomintang, Lin Sen was used to false claims of military merit, so he asked this question.
"Chairman must have seen it from the newspapers. Hey, these reporters like to exaggerate. The first game was a narrow win, but the second game, if it hadn't been for the help of the two division commanders Zhang Zizhong and Zhao Dengyu of the 29th Army, then we would be right now The entire army must have been wiped out."
"Oh,..." Lin Sen was a little surprised by Ouyang Yun's answer. As the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public. He didn't expect that this young guy at a high-spirited age could actually expose his family scandals, and he felt more favorable towards him. , he remembered something and asked with concern: "You are coming to Nanjing this time for business, right?"
"The chairman asked us to come."
"Oh, that's it." Hearing that it was Jiang who asked them to come, Lin Sen couldn't help but doubt the relationship between them. Thinking that what he was about to say might be suspected of sowing discord, he stopped talking.
"Chairman Lin, if you have time, could you please visit Renqiu? I think the morale of the young men in our division will be doubled if they know that you are here."
Hearing him mention Renqiu, Lin Sen thought of the penicillin that was more expensive than gold and the scarce oil. He became interested again and asked: "I heard that even foreigners cannot make the penicillin produced by your pharmaceutical factory. In order to compete for it, The Americans and the Japanese actually got into a fight over the shares at the auction. This is serious."
Jiang Shuren smiled and replied: "It's true." Thinking of what Ouyang Yun said to Doihara at the meeting that day, he glanced at Ouyang Yun and the smile on his lips became thicker.
Lowering his voice, Lin Sen leaned slightly toward them and asked, "Then I can take the liberty to ask, is there really oil in Renqiu? Have you found it?"
A thought quickly flashed through Ouyang Yun's mind, and he lowered his voice and said: "I didn't expect the chairman to be interested in these gossips. It's hard to say, but if the chairman can visit Ren Qiu in person, I think the mystery will be revealed. of."
Hearing that he changed the topic to inviting him to Renqiu, Lin Sen's eyes flashed with alarm. He stared into Ouyang Yun's eyes and said, "Mr. Ouyang, thank you for inviting me so enthusiastically, but you should know that My position as chairman is just a fictitious one and I have no real power." The implication is: If you want to get any benefits from me, it will be in vain.
Ouyang Yun thought in his heart that although the description of this old man in the history books was not accurate, but now it seems that the comment of being cautious in doing things is quite true. He said with a straight face: "Chairman, what you said is really true. That's so insulting. Why, we juniors must have some motive to come to you? If I say it's because I respect your selfless contribution to the country and the people, I just want you to go and see the lives of the people in the place now. How much improvement has there been? How about some corrections on our work?"
What Ouyang Yun said was a bit like the temperament of the legendary "Anti-Japanese Heroes". His words were quite sharp. Jiang Shuren looked at him and frowned slightly. He really didn't know what he wanted to do by spending so much time in front of this puppet. Thinking of the legend Jiang and Lin were not harmonious. If this matter reached Jiang's ears, it would definitely have a bad impact on their purpose this time. He couldn't help but be a little anxious. He glanced at Lin Sen and found that the other party seemed to appreciate Ouyang Yun's attitude. As if talking, he pretended to look at his watch, and then reminded Ouyang Yun at just the right volume: "Master, it's almost ten o'clock now. Don't affect the chairman's work. It's time for us to leave."
The reason why he used the right volume was because, in Lin Sen's opinion, it was a whisper he was telling Ouyang Yun, but it was just right for him to hear clearly. As if he had just realized that such a person existed, Lin Sen looked towards Ouyang Yun. Jiang Shuren asked Ouyang Yun: "Who is this?"
Ouyang Yun hurriedly stood up and introduced him.
Lin Sen smiled, looked at Jiang Shuren and said, "It turns out you are the God of Wealth of the Military Academy. I didn't expect you to be so young." Turning to Ouyang Yun, he asked, "Both the officials in your Military Academy and Renqiu are so young." What?"
"There are also elders like the chairman, but they are relatively rare, so they are our treasures."
"Rare, baby." Lin Sen smiled, then stood up and said: "Since you have something to do, I will stay here soon. I am very happy that you can come to my place. Haha, I am the two heroes of the Anti-Japanese War, including your military training division. I have been admiring you for a long time, and today is finally my long-cherished wish. Xiao Zhang, the guest is leaving, please help me see him off. Mr. Ouyang, Finance Minister Jiang, goodbye."
"Chairman, welcome to Renqiu as a guest." After performing the standard military salute again, Ouyang Yun said before leaving,
Lin Sen smiled and nodded, not sure if it was considered an agreement.
