It turns out that Ni Hua is from Nijiayan, Yuyao, Zhejiang. His grandfather Ni Yunshan is a Catholic priest. His grandmother Xu is the 16th-generation granddaughter of Xu Guangqi, a famous scientist in the Ming Dynasty of my country. Her aunt Ni Guizhen graduated from Shanghai Piwen Girls' High School, specializing in mathematics. He was good at playing the piano and later married Song Jiashu and gave birth to six children. Ni Hua's father was the biological uncle of the six Soong Ching Ling sisters.
Ni Hua received a good education since she was a child. She went to the United States to study with her uncle Song Jiashu. At the age of 13, she was admitted to Wesleyan Women's College in Macon, Georgia, for preparatory studies. At the age of 16, she was admitted to Columbia University to study medicine and has now entered clinical practice.
In the internship stage, I will graduate soon.
As for what happened next, Ni Hua had already told Cai Zhong, and Liu Yimin also knew that it was because her family had opened a new private hospital in Chengdu. When she returned to China for vacation, she learned that the Red Army had occupied Chengdu. She was worried about the hospital and took the bus from Shanghai.
The plane arrived in Chongqing, and I rushed from Chongqing to Chengdu with a few bodyguards. As soon as I arrived in Chengdu, I was invited to the hospital by Red Army soldiers.
Liu Yimin thought to himself, from Ni Guizhen to the three Song sisters, and then to the 20-year-old Ni Hua, the daughters of this family are all heroic girls with adventurous spirit! Think of Song Ailing and Song Qingling who successively served as Sun Yat-sen's English
Secretary, Soong Ching Ling became Mrs. Sun, and later became the Honorary Chairman of the Republic. Soong Ailing single-handedly facilitated the marriage between Soong Meiling and Chiang Kai-shek, and brought the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Consortium, Britain and the United States together with Chiang Kai-shek, creating Chiang Kai-shek's status today. Look at Ni in front of you again
Hua, I think it’s funny. The Red Army occupied Chengdu and no one else could run away. But a beautiful girl was not afraid of anything and dared to break into the dragon’s pond and tiger’s den. It seems that the American adventurous spirit is completely reflected in these talented and beautiful women who have received American education.
It's reflected.
Seeing Liu Yimin's smiling face but his thoughts flying to nowhere, Ni Hua said: "I thought you were a group of bandits. I have observed them in the past few days and found that your soldiers are very disciplined.
The security company commander and Xiao Tang paid for the food you bought at the price. They also had a very good attitude towards the people. They didn't find you looting people like other bandits. The public security on the streets of Chengdu is also good. I feel that you also have ideals.
A disciplined and pursuing political group and a regular armed force are not like what my cousin-in-law and others promote."
Liu Yimin smiled: "Your third cousin-in-law is the biggest lie maker in China. When Mr. Sun Yat-sen launched the democratic revolution, the Communists gave great help, and many heroes died on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition. Unfortunately, after Mr. Sun Yat-sen passed away, Chiang Kai-shek was your second son.
My cousin-in-law betrayed Mr. Sun Yat-sen's legacy, betrayed the revolution, massacred the Communists, and forced the Communists to fight against him. You are studying in the United States, tell me, can the Republican Party say that the Democratic Party is bandits? Let me tell you, whether it is the Republican Party or the Democratic Party
, both are defenders of American interests. In the same way, both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party should pursue progress and work together to make China prosperous and strong. Unfortunately, under the leadership of Chiang Kai-shek, the Kuomintang has degenerated into a dictatorship, replacing the original leadership of Mr. Sun Yat-sen
You have completely forgotten the Three People's Principles, and are bent on uniting the party and opposing dissidents, and seeking dictatorship. You have the opportunity to communicate more with your second cousin and listen to her opinions. As for your eldest cousin and eldest cousin-in-law, they have already become experts at collecting money.
, country bug. If you can see your third cousin and cousin-in-law, you can tell them, just say what I said, if you don’t pull back from the brink and organize the people to resist Japan, the Japanese will take over their Nanjing. You can also tell Yi Xin
Mr. Chiang, who wants to imitate Hitler's fascism, believes that the way out for China is not fascism, but the path of democratic nation-building. Our Red Army is wholeheartedly determined to go north to resist Japan. If he dares to pursue us again, he will wait until we defeat the Japanese invaders in the future.
If he goes to any end of the world, I will catch him with my own hands and send him to the judgment seat of history."
Ni Hua blinked: "Do you want me to be a messenger, or do you want to threaten me?"
Liu Yimin also felt that it was a waste to say so much to a little girl, so he said: "It's not a threat. Besides, which daughter of the Ni family would be threatened by others? There is no messenger, and no one will listen to what you have to say.
, If you talk too much, they will annoy you and affect your family relationship. However, if you see Mrs. Sun and Mr. Qingling, you can tell her that our Communist Party and the Red Army respect everything she has done for the country and hope that she can play a more important role in the anti-Japanese war.
It will help a lot. You can also tell her that I respect her very much."
Ni Hua said: "That's pretty much it. Just now I thought you were going to instigate me, or threaten me, or even detain me."
Liu Yimin smiled: "How can you? You are my savior. Being ungrateful is not something a man can do, let alone us Communists? Tell me, what do you want to say to me?"
When Ni Hua saw Liu Yimin asking this question, he became serious: "I heard that you are going north to fight against the Japanese and eliminate the invaders, and I was very moved. But I have to go back to the United States to study for a doctorate in medicine and fulfill my dream, so I can no longer go to the front line with the army. I
I feel very guilty for not being able to provide help to you anti-Japanese comrades. I want to donate this hospital that my family just built to the Red Army. Don’t worry, the equipment of this hospital is first-class in the country, and the doctors are also very high.
The scale is a bit small. Do you think it will work?"
When Liu Yimin heard this, he realized that this girl was very enlightened and had a sense of national justice. He quickly said: "I'm very touched that you have such an idea. Our Red Army is in great difficulty and needs everything, let alone a more advanced hospital."
Yes. However, this is your family’s hospital, not your own. Could you please seek your family’s opinion?”
Ni Hua shook his head: "No, my parents are far away from here and I can't contact them for the time being. If you really go to fight against Japan, my parents will definitely support me. If you don't fight against Japan, but instead fight a civil war with my cousin-in-law like other warlords,
, fighting for territory, I am blind, and no one is to blame. When I finish my studies, practice medicine in the United States, and make money, I will pay it back to my parents."
Liu Yimin was moved and said to Ni Hua: "Don't worry, we are determined to resist Japan. As for the civil war, we will still fight for the time being. I can tell you that Chiang Kai-shek mobilized a million troops to encircle and suppress us. I am anxious to be discharged from the hospital, just to
Go and fight them. Once they are defeated and they dare not fight the civil war, they will negotiate with us and fight with us. Please understand this. It is not us who want to fight, but your cousin-in-law.
If we don't fight, we can only stick out our necks and wait for him to chop me. You don't want me to be shot by your cousin-in-law, do you?"
Ni Hua said: "You men are just aggressive. I don't care and I can't control it. As long as you resist Japan!"
Liu Yimin said: "Dr. Ni, I can assure you that we Communists would rather live in ruins than in ruins, and we must fight to the end. I myself would rather die on the anti-Japanese battlefield than live in an ignoble existence! Thank you, I couldn't have imagined that
You are studying in the United States, but you are still so concerned about the peril of the nation and are willing to contribute to the motherland's anti-Japanese war. You are worthy of being a descendant of the Yanhuang people. This also shows that the entire nation of our country will definitely be able to form a consensus on the anti-Japanese issue. As long as we are united, we will definitely be able to resist the Japanese.
Achieve final victory! In this way, you call Chen Tong to come in. Time is tight, so you won't say any more polite words, and I will let him go to the hospital with you."
Ni Hua ran out to call Chen Tong, but Liu Yimin couldn't calm down for a long time. He thought of the famous message sent by the overseas Chinese leader Tan Kah Kee in history: "Until the enemy invaders withdraw from the country, any civil servant who negotiates peace terms should be considered a traitor and a traitor to the country."
I felt extremely excited and couldn't help singing "My Home is on the Songhua River in Northeast China" in a low voice.
When Chen Tong and Ni Hua came in together, they saw Liu Yimin sitting on the bed, singing a very sad and melodious song that he had never heard before.
The singing was over. Liu Yimin's eyes were filled with tears, and Ni Hua and Chen Tong listened in ecstasy.
Seeing the two people coming in, Liu Yimin regained his composure and said in a deep voice: "Comrade Chen Tong, Dr. Ni Hua is going to donate her private hospital to our army. You and Ling Kun are responsible for accepting it. After receiving it, it will be incorporated into the army field hospital. I will
Propose to the Legion Party Committee to appoint Comrade Ni Hua as the deputy director of the Seventh Red Army Field Hospital. You should go and do it now."
Ni Hua quickly waved his hand: "No way, I'm just a young student and I have to go back to the United States to study. I can't be your vice president."
Liu Yimin sighed: "It won't take long for the all-out war of resistance to begin. With your surgical skills, how many lives of soldiers can be saved! That's fine, don't appoint me now. I will appoint you again in the future when you return from your studies in the United States."
Having said this, Liu Yimin listened for a while and said in a joking manner: "But remember, in my heart, you are the deputy director of the field hospital of my Seventh Red Army Corps. I hope that when you come back from the United States, you will not be empty-handed.
Bring more doctors, medical equipment and medicines. Others such as weapons and equipment, ammunition, construction machinery, various engineering and technical personnel, even aircraft, warships, tanks, oil refining equipment, steelmaking equipment, mining machinery, etc., as much as you need
.You must remember that you are not only a good daughter of your parents and a good student at an American university, but you are also the deputy director of the field hospital of our Seventh Red Army and can represent our Red Army in the United States."
Ni Hua's beautiful eyes flashed, she said "greedy ghost" and went out with Chen Tong.
Seeing Ni Hua's slim figure walking out of the door, Liu Yimin thought to himself, since he is here, if I don't let you contribute to the country and the anti-Japanese war, wouldn't I become what Sichuan people call me a melon baby?
Liu Yimin's mouth watered when he thought about the rich and powerful country on the other side of the ocean. There were colorful U.S. dollars, tons of steel, countless airplanes, warships, tanks, and cannons! If only these could be combined
If you get the tools to arm the Red Army, then little Japan is still in ruins? The United States, the United States, can you think of any way to wake up in advance? Even if you attack the Japanese a year in advance, how many fewer people will die in China!
Calculating time again, the United States at this time is during the period when President Roosevelt implemented the New Deal. The economic crisis will be overcome by 1936. If we do not seize this opportunity to get more things from the United States, I am afraid that the United States will only deal with the National Government in the future.
I will never pay attention to the Communist Party again. If I could go to the United States and rely on my knowledge and meet those big entrepreneurs, wouldn’t it be a piece of cake to get some equipment and steel? The big deal would be to sell some patents.
Just let those big companies make more money in advance.
It's a pity that the Red Army has no foothold yet. The last word is to win the battle at hand and force Chiang Kai-shek to sit down and negotiate.
Thinking of this, Liu Yimin called Li Chengyi in, spread out the map, and began to study it carefully.
Chen Tong followed Ni Hua to her home hospital and saw that the equipment was indeed relatively advanced, and the doctors hired were all graduates of Shanghai Medical University. After checking the pharmacy again, all kinds of medicines were available. Chen Tong was happy and busy.
Together with Ling Kun, he cooperated with Ni Hua to mobilize medical staff. Finally, five doctors and six nurses agreed to join the Red Army. Some doctors and nurses were unwilling to join the Red Army and asked for travel expenses to return to Shanghai. Ni Hua, Chen Tong, Ling
After discussion, Kun agreed to pay travel expenses, but in view of the current chaotic situation in Sichuan, he suggested that they stay in the hospital, guard the house, and return to Shanghai after the situation stabilizes.
The director of the hospital was an old man employed by the Ni family. He was a close friend of Ni Hua's father. Seeing that Ni Hua insisted on donating the hospital to the Red Army, he felt reluctant to give up. He pulled Ni Hua aside and quietly advised: "Miss,
If you don't discuss it with me and my wife, you just donate the hospital. What will you do if you blame me and my wife in the future?"
Ni Hua said: "Don't worry, uncle, what's wrong with me? You don't know that the Red Army is going to fight against Japan. They are short of medical treatment and medicine. We donate the hospital to them to directly serve the fight against Japan. My parents will agree."
."
The dean looked at Ni Hua with pity: "Miss, what can I say about this? They are your cousin-in-law's enemies. If you do this, you are going against your cousin-in-law. It will be difficult to talk to relatives when they meet in the future!"
Ni Hua said: "The Red Army went to resist Japan, and all Chinese people should support them. If my cousin-in-law also resisted Japan, I would be willing to be a doctor in his army and go directly to the front line. Relatives belong to relatives, and justice belongs to justice. I think
Nothing."
The dean shook his head: "Miss, you are too young, you should not come here. Tell me, did they force you to donate?"
Ni Hua smiled: "Uncle, you underestimate the Red Army. How could they intimidate me? But let me tell you, when you return to Shanghai, don't say that we donated the hospital to the Red Army, and just say that the situation in Sichuan is unstable.
We moved back to Shanghai to rebuild the hospital to avoid some troubles. As for equipment, medicines, etc., the situation was too chaotic and we couldn’t take care of them, so we had to leave them to friends to take care of them."
The dean said: "This is the only way."
Ni Hua thought for a while and then said: "Uncle, I'm considering asking the doctors and nurses who returned to Shanghai not to be sent away, or if you take them with you. When I go back, I will tell my parents that I can open a small hospital in Shanghai."
The houses here are not for sale, and maybe we will build a hospital here in the future. If we really have to go to war with Japan in the future, Shanghai will not be safe."
The dean nodded, feeling that this girl also had her own thoughts and was not completely confused.
After the handover, Chen Tong and Ling Kun organized the soldiers to pack and move, but Ni Hua sat down and thought about his own concerns. The dean was right. If his cousin and cousin-in-law knew about it, they would have to scold him. In their eyes,
This is all about collaborating with the Communist Party and supporting the enemy. It would be good if the spies and military police are not allowed to cause trouble for themselves.
I'm afraid I have to explain it to my parents. It cost a lot of money to run this hospital. I just donated it when I asked. I'm afraid the parents will think their daughter is a prodigal. Forget it, at the worst, tell them to make money to compensate them in the future.
.
Think about the conversation with Liu Yimin just now. That guy is so greedy. Look how nicely he said it. Don’t come back from the United States empty-handed. Bring more medical equipment, medicines, doctors, and American weapons and equipment, engineering equipment, and aircraft.
They want warships. I really don’t know what he doesn’t want. It’s like I’m the President of the United States! Even the President of the United States doesn’t get whatever he wants. He just gives it to whoever he wants. This greedy guy!
But he is really awesome. I mentioned that he is from Yuyao, Zhejiang Province. He can immediately identify his origins and can be regarded as a truly knowledgeable man. Especially the songs he sings, I have never heard of them before.
So sad, so desolate, the heart of the singer is broken. It would be great if such a person was in the national army of my cousin-in-law, but why did he become the Red Army?
In the past few days, his ears have almost grown pimples. It seems that their Red Army soldiers admire him very much and talk about him like the God of War. Is he that powerful? I look at his dark eyes, which look more like worship.
Alan, a romantic poet like Shelley, specializes in attracting the hearts of young girls. How can he look like a famous general?
However, he is so strong. Even with such a major operation, I haven't heard him groan in the past two days. He will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and go to the battlefield. I wonder what it will be like to sit on a stretcher and direct the battle. Do you want it?
Why don't you go and take a look?
If he proposes not to follow the Red Army's actions now, judging from the conversation with him today, he will not force himself. However, if his injuries recur during this period, I don't know if their hospital can be saved without him.
His life. This is the first operation he has performed, and it was performed under such crude conditions. If he recovers, wouldn’t he also be successful? It’s better to follow him and have a look, and wait until he recovers.
It’s not too late to return to Shanghai.
This guy really didn't even say hello, he just told Dr. Chen that he wanted to be the deputy director of his field hospital. This position is too easy, right? But to be honest, if he returns to the United States, he will tell his classmates and
The teacher said that he was the deputy director of the Red Army field hospital and saved their regiment commander. That must be sensational news. The little boys surrounding him were probably going to faint from shock!
What is the relationship between Xiao Tang and him? It seems that Xiao Tang likes him wholeheartedly. I wonder if he knows or what he is thinking. I heard that Xiao Tang escaped from his marriage a month ago. Why?
What a coincidence that I met him when I joined the Red Army? This Xiao Tang is really lucky.
Forget it, why are you thinking so much? It's right to wait for him to recover and quickly return to the United States to study for a Ph.D. Look at what he said, come back and take up the post after completing your studies. Why are you so sure that I will come back and be their vice president?
This guy is too confident.
When Chen Tong and Ling Kun came in, Ni Hua was a little crazy with his thoughts.
Chen Tong said: "Dean Ni, our mission has been completed. I will leave a few soldiers to protect you. We will leave first. You will come back after you finish handling the matter."
Ni Hua suddenly woke up: "What are you, Dean Ni? Please call me Xiao Ni or Doctor Ni, Miss Ni."
Chen Tong said tepidly: "The Army Commander has just appointed you as the deputy director of the Army Field Hospital. From now on, you, me, and Political Commissar Ling will work together to build a team. I hope we can work together to make our hospital better and better."
The better. Of course, you still have to study abroad, so you don’t need to be responsible for the work in the hospital for the time being. You will perform your duties after you return to China after completing your studies."
Ni Hua said: "Are you kidding? Your regiment commander just said it casually, and I didn't agree?"
Chen Tong said: "In our Seventh Red Army Corps, the commander of the regiment represents victory and hope, and his orders cannot be violated. If he says you are the vice president, then you are the vice president. All the medical and nursing soldiers in our hospital will know how to do it.
I respect you. At critical moments, I can even take the bullet for you."
Ni Hua was confused: "Isn't he just a young guy in his early 20s? He doesn't even have a long beard. How can he be so domineering? It's purely a warlord style."
Chen Tong shook his head: "Dean Ni, you don't understand the regiment commander. He is not overbearing at all. On the contrary, he is easy to get along with. The key is that we trust him in our hearts, respect him, and are willing to carry out every order he gives."
Ni Hua smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that this Liu Yimin has such a high prestige. I can't believe it. Please wait for me for a while. I will explain to the dean and then go back with you."
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, and Feng Dafei came to see Liu Yimin and informed him that the central column had evacuated Chengdu. They asked what to do with the remaining troops of the Seventh Army and when they would evacuate Chengdu.
Liu Yimin asked if the baggage regiment and the new regiment had set out?
Cai Zhong replied that he had already set off and was now connected with the relief troops sent by Gaoyuan.
Liu Yimin asked again if the 13th Division had rushed back to Chengdu?
Cai Zhong said that he had arrived. However, he had seized a lot of grain and supplies from Dayi, and also searched Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui's hometown, and brought back a lot of money and opium.
Liu Yimin hurriedly asked: "Did anyone get hurt?"
Cai Zhong said: "Liu Wenhui has a brother named Liu Wencai. He is a little armed, but they did not have time to make any resistance, so no one was hurt. Li Qing said that Liu Wencai's weapons were pistols and rifles imported from Germany, and the equipment of a whole battalion
.As for the family members of Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui, Li Qing released them."
Liu Yimin nodded: "It's an advantage for them." After thinking about it, he asked: "Is there any news about the other four legions?"
Luo Rong said: "The First and Ninth Army Corps obtained some money, weapons and ammunition from Liu Wenhui, and have all withdrawn from the area around Leshan and are now concentrating on the front line of Deyang; the Third Army and the Fifth Army are closer to Deyang and are basically in place.
This time we occupied the Chengdu Plain, and our troops have grown a lot. The four main legions have each reached more than 20,000 people. Mr. Zhu told me that the entire army now has about 120,000 people. There is a large gap in weapons, but Mr. Zhu still said it before he left.
Tell me, after this battle is over, if we have more weapons, we must try our best to support the other three legions."
Liu Yimin said: "More people do not mean strong combat effectiveness. To really fight, you still have to rely on old skills. Those new recruits need training. However, the several army commanders are all talented and they will have a way. As for weapons, don't worry about them.
If the battle is won, pick whatever you want."
Feng Dafei said: "Commander of the Corps, I don't know if your injury can allow you to sit on a stretcher. Should we wait in Chengdu for a few days so that we can stop the Central Army when they come. We will withdraw when your injury is better."
Liu Yimin said: "I also have this idea, and want to teach Xue Yue a lesson before leaving. But this is a big battle, and we cannot hold back. Let's give Xue Yue a chance to reflect. If we have solved Hu Zongnan, Yang Hucheng and the Northeast Army, he still persists in pursuing us.
We, then let him stay. Before you come, I have already considered it. You immediately order the 12th Division to abandon Guan County and concentrate on Deyang overnight. The 13th Division, the Engineer Regiment, the Heavy Machine Gun Regiment, and the Artillery Regiment Infantry Battalion will set off tonight.
, concentrated towards Deyang. Camped during the day and drove at night. The regiment headquarters moved with the 13th Division. The cavalry battalion and guard battalion were left, and the sniper brigade stayed in Chengdu. After I finish arranging the film tomorrow, I will lead the guard battalion, cavalry battalion, sniper brigade, and field hospital
Catch up with you. We will meet you in Deyang. After arriving in Deyang, we will hold a combat meeting to make detailed arrangements for the deployment of combat operations."
Cai Zhong's eyes immediately widened: "I agree with the large forces retreating tonight, but there are too few troops left. What if something unexpected happens? Either you go with us tonight, or we all go together tomorrow night. Anyway, I
I have to stay with you to ensure your safety."
Luo Ronghuan said: "There are really few troops left, less than one regiment. If we encounter the enemy, we will be in big trouble. I am considering letting the 13th Division leave one regiment and follow your actions. What do you think?"
Liu Yimin thought for a while and said: "Let Chen Dayong lead the third battalion to stay and protect my safety together with the guard battalion. Other troops must set off tonight. After arriving in Deyang, the troops must be mobilized immediately for combat. The cadres must go deep into
Each combat squad must clearly explain to the soldiers the significance of going north to fight against Japan. As for the specific combat objectives and combat plans, they must be kept confidential. In addition, the two artillery battalions of the artillery regiment and the three battalions of the heavy machine gun regiment are allowed to return to the formation. The war is imminent.
Concentrate your firepower."
Cai Zhong said: "Let the political commissar and chief of staff lead the troops to take action, I will stay and follow your actions."
Liu Yimin shook his head: "You guys go together, do as I say, and mobilize for battle quickly. The enemy is already on high alert. This battle is a vicious and tough battle. We must overcome the cadres' mentality of underestimating the enemy. Your task is very heavy, and you must
Cooperate with the political commissar to do the pre-war work. When I arrive, I will start taking action. Remember to report to the headquarters that the troops are in place immediately after arriving in Deyang."
After Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, and Feng Dafei left, Liu Yimin was confused for a while and asked Tang Xingying to help him get out of bed. Tang Xingying did not dare to make the decision, so she ran to report Chen Tong and Ni Hua.
By the time Chen Tong and Ni Hua arrived, Liu Yimin had already gotten out of bed by himself.
