Golden Scale Club [Republic of China + Jiang Chengyan X Mu Bingci]

Mu Bingci arrived at the Temple of the City God as promised, and found an excuse to enter the temple.

Lu Chaosheng was sensitively aware that as soon as their car came out of Fuxi Road, two cars and unremarkable pawns were staring at them in several dark alleys.When Mu Bingci walked into the Town God's Temple, several pilgrims immediately came out of the side hall and followed him into the main hall.Due to the presence of Lu Chaoshengyu, they did not dare to get too close, but touched the blessing stone at the corner of the hall from a distance.

Further back is the petition hall of Miaozhu. Yu Luo said to the young novice monk outside the hall: "We have an appointment with the abbot. Our young master has been in bad luck recently, please abbot to help us get lucky."

The monk then led the two of them in.

Sure enough, there was a big-headed monk with white eyebrows and beard.After welcoming Mu Bingci and Yu Luo in, he closed the door and turned around, "Change clothes."

Mu Bingci was taken aback for a moment, Yu Luo had already taken off his sweatshirt and pants neatly. "What are you doing, change clothes with me."

As he spoke, he came up to pick off Mu Bingci's shirt and trousers.Mu Bingci originally knew that it was someone from Feng Shi who came to connect, but he couldn't understand why Yu Luo would participate in it.He changed clothes with Yu Luo halfway, and suddenly found that Yu Luo was very similar to him in figure.If you avoid the lights and hide in a dark place, you can hardly recognize two people without looking at their faces.For a moment, Mu Bingci couldn't understand where Yu Luo was singing. Could it be that Yu Luo was also from Fengshi?But he didn't dare to think that Jiang Chengyan was contributing to the flames.

Seeing his vigilance, Yu Luo said angrily and amusedly, "What are you thinking, do you think I'm the spy of some company?"

Mu Bingci was seen through by him, but instead he said straightforwardly: "If you didn't work carefully, then today's matter was arranged by Jiang Chengyan?" Thinking of the relationship between Jiang Chengyan and Feng Shilai before, he couldn't help but wonder whether Jiang Chengyan knew Feng Shilai a long time ago. details.In addition, the nature of Hongmen's organization earlier was so similar to Feng Shilai's Phantom.So Feng Shi came behind the scenes, could it be Jiang Chengyan?

Yu Luo smiled and said: "I didn't say anything, don't try to set me up again. Here I just convey the meaning of the third master to you. The third master said, I hope you will go here without restraint, and you will feel at ease from now on You don’t need to be in a love-hate dilemma anymore.” Yu Luo pointed to the inner pocket of her wide-body jacket, “There is your transfer order, the third master said, the Southern Army’s belongings will be returned to their original owners, and they are at your disposal. If you only You can live your best life on the battlefield, and the third master will return your life to you."

Mu Bingci was completely stunned.

After the Lishan Incident, Jiang Chengyan escorted Mu Bingci back to Shanghai, and the government officials headed by Jiang Chengbo in Nanjing agreed to deprive Mu Bing of his post as the commander of the frontier defense and return the command of the Southern Army to Bian Liang, the leader of the Central Army. hands.Jiang Chengyan, as the commander-in-chief of the military department, stood up to the crowd, opposed the reunification of the southern army under the leadership of the central army, and promoted Mu Yang to temporarily replace Mu Bing to resign.The ownership of the Southern Army will be discussed after adjournment.And this is also the fuse of Nanjing's decision to kill Mu Bingci.

Now all of this is also arranged by Jiang Chengyan. Did Jiang Chengyan pretend to be ignorant a few hours ago to make him go away with more peace of mind?So he said, Bingci, don't hate me anymore.In fact, he wanted to say, leave it alone, and hope that the king is safe and sound.What Jiang Chengyan said was to say goodbye to him.

Mu Bingci suddenly had a sore nose.The haze that blindfolded his eyes in the past suddenly receded, and the siege he built in his mind collapsed in an instant. From Jiang Chengyan's avoidance of his feelings at the beginning, to all kinds of deception and detention, he was released to freedom in front of him. Perhaps the means he used were too great. Regardless of Mu Bingci's feelings, but his ultimate goal is to let Mu Bingci get well.

Mu Bingci's throat was tight and astringent, he reached into the inner pocket of Yu Luo's coat, and he found a special kraft paper document.He pressed his hands tightly on it, pressed his heart, and asked with some difficulty: "Jiang Chengyan, what else did he say?"

Yu Luo took a rare serious look at Mu Bingci. "The third master said that from now on, we will be separated from each other. No matter whether Mr. Mu's life is good or bad, you don't need to tell him again. He said that he doesn't want to regret it."

Mu Bingci's eyes turned red.Everything was as he wished, Jiang Chengyan finally let him go completely, and finally let him go completely.Two widths apart.He remembered that Jiang Chengyan once said that if the person he loves will only be endless burdens with him, he is willing to let him go and never see each other again until he dies.

Today's farewell means that we will never see each other again.

Mu Bingci felt great pain in his heart. This level of cognition was a deeper feeling than when he left Jiang Chengyan just now. It was like a knife gouged in from his heart, releasing the pain and poison that had been deliberately sealed up, and it went straight to him. Limbs and bones.

Yu Luo put on his clothes, squatted down and checked the gun tied to his calf, put on a pair of underwear for himself, got up and touched the doorknob, and said to Mu Bing: "Mr. Mu, a person's life is too short. If the third master is like this, you should be happy."

As he opened the door and went out, the Tai Bao from the Blue Shirts Society immediately came up with an umbrella, and he only thought that this person was Mu Bingci.

Surrounded by the original squad of soldiers and guards, Yu Luo boarded the car and left. The car passed through the urban area of ​​Shanghai, headed for the southeast suburbs, and headed towards Zhejiang.For those hidden piles wandering around the Town God's Temple, the two cars followed Yu Luo, and the rest of the people dispersed immediately, disappearing into the crowded sea of ​​street lamps.

Miao Zhu clasped his hands together to Mu Bingci: "Benefactor, please go to the back door, someone is waiting for you there."

Mu Bingci seems to have just recovered from the afterglow of the pain just now, thinking that the way he came from has been completely cut off, neither he nor Jiang Chengyan gave himself a way to retreat, this time it was really straightforward, and there was no turning around to a dimly lit place.The road ahead is unpredictable, but there is only one way to go to the dark, and we must do our best. Jiang Chengyan's fulfillment also includes forcing him to go forward alone.He nodded, bowed silently to the temple, and then took the umbrella from the novice outside the door, and left in the direction pointed by the temple without looking back.

The back door is a little colder than the front door, and even if it rains heavily, there are still many people.Mu Bingci walked out the door, not daring to stop and look around, but slowed down and looked around while walking forward.There are crowds of people on the street, everyone looks alike, and everyone looks alike.Suddenly there was a flower girl walking around the streets, holding an umbrella in her hand and carrying a basket, with strings of white magnolias hanging on her fingers, she asked everyone she met, "Buying flowers? Buying flowers? Old fragrance, old and fresh." Buy a bunch of fragrant half-moon magnolia flowers, and exclusively cultivate a new variety: Midsummer Phantom. No one else has it. Miss, how many bunches do you want?"

Two ladies stopped the flower girl and each picked two bunches of magnolias.The flower girl took the money for change, and while answering questions to the customers, looked at Mu Bingci from the lower edge of the umbrella from time to time.

When Mu Bingci heard Phantom's words, he naturally noticed her.Walking slowly, the two ladies turned and left, walked up to the flower girl, but saw her turn and leave.Turning a few corners along the way, I came to a dark alley, where a car was parked.Mu Bingci followed her, and the flower girl threw the umbrella and the whole basket of flowers on the street, and took off her scarf and apron in twos and twos, revealing her waist-length hair and a graceful figure.She directly got into the car and started the ignition, and said goodbye to Mu Bing: "Get in the car, do you want me to hug you?"

Mu Bingci frowned upon hearing this, this aunt is even more airy than Yu Luo, and the current joint is of the highest rank.

When Mu Bingci got into the car, the woman sprinted out of the dark alley with a big turn, and drove northwest through the city like a gust of wind.

The raindrops were crackling on the car glass, Mu Bingci was still thinking about what Yu Luo had just said in his heart, and he was depressed and didn't care that the atmosphere in the car was quiet and dull.The woman confessed calmly: "My task is to take you to Luoyang. There will be someone to meet you there."

Mu Bingci glanced at her, somehow remembering the late Ye Jin.They are different women, but they also have bright eyes.Mu Bing asked her, "What's your name?"

The woman smiled generously: "Phantom members don't have a fixed name. My name for this operation is Ah She."

When she said this, Mu Bingci knew that it was inconvenient to talk about private topics, let alone organization-related topics.So I just nodded: "Go back and say thank you to Phantom for me."

Ah She snorted: "Idiot, what are you thanking? Phantom won't save people in vain, but seeing that you have value that can be used, helping you is in exchange for you to be a cow and a horse for us."

She spoke bluntly, without pretentiousness.Mu Bingci thought that if he could be used by others, it would be valuable.As long as it has not become a waste, it is not hopeless.He asked Ah She: "Why did you do this?"

Ah She pointed at the steering wheel and sighed, "How can there be so many reasons? For dedication? For sacrifice? To sacrifice oneself for the sake of all beings? There is not so much greatness. I am for myself. As a woman, I was born with The status of the weak, you must be loved by a man to have dignity, and you must bear children for a man to be valuable. I don’t agree with this, and I don’t want to be forced to live. I want to do something else, by chance, knowing Phantom. I think it's good to do this, I learned a lot of skills, and ferryed a lot of people like you."

Mu Bingci chuckled: "A person like me? What kind of person?"

Ah She said: "Didn't I say that they are people who are useful. This society is like a factory with a clear division of labor but complicated processes. Everyone needs to contribute something in their own position and enter the process cycle. Get something from others. People who have mastered different skills assist each other, exchange freely, give and get. Achieve yourself by serving others. Everyone is for me, and I am for everyone.”

It turns out that in this world, there are still people who are sober like Ah She.Mu Bingci's gloomy mood was aroused by the girl's few words, and he couldn't help thinking that Jiang Chengyan gave him freedom and gave him the Southern Army. This is a fulfillment, but it is also Jiang Chengyan's own beautiful expectation.In the future, there will still be available power to fight back against the current chaotic world and gain ultimate freedom, so there will be no need for those schemes and plots.As an insignificant individual, I can love honestly and love freely.There can also be more people like Ah She, who don't ask for greatness, but first find themselves and then achieve themselves.

In a great society, everyone must first be themselves.To achieve the small self, to cast the big self.

Mu Bingci praised: "You are amazing."

Amnesty was not polite: "Of course."

The night Mu Bingci left Shanghai, the flames of war broke out.Before dawn, the Japanese army, relying on the Japanese-occupied area of ​​the public concession, launched an attack on the Nationalist government garrisons and civilians in the surrounding areas.At the same time, the Kwantung Army naval warships bypassed the Shandong Peninsula from Dandong Port, entered the Yellow Sea and arrived in Shanghai.The Japanese marines landed from Hangzhou Bay, encircled the Japanese-occupied area from Fengxian District of Jinshan, and launched a fierce attack on the Shanghai garrison.

If the Japanese front is stretched from north to south, and it is close to the coastal area, follow-up supplies will be very beneficial.Jiang Chengyan urgently dispatched 80 soldiers from the Central Group Army and 30 soldiers from the Air Force and Navy to the Shanghai battlefield in an attempt to drive the Japanese into the hinterland.In this way, the central army occupies the outer coast, the northwest army encircles the interior, and the southern army defends the frontier of Beiping. This battle situation will be a deadly triangle.

Regarding Jiang Chengyan's strategy, although Jiang Chengbo was dissatisfied with the transfer of the Central Army, Shanghai was the gateway to the south.If Shanghai falls, it will bring disaster to the capital of the national government, and Jiang Chengbo dare not take this risk.Therefore, we should wait and see the changes in Jiang Chengyan's use of troops.

As soon as the war broke out, the eastern coastal areas immediately fell into chaos.In particular, Shanghai, the central theater, was devastated. Jiang Chengyan sent people to organize the evacuation of civilians from Shanghai, and ordered the Air Force to bombard the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters and Hangzhou Bay to cut off Japanese military supplies and manpower supplies. The two heavy artillery regiments of the Central Army bombarded the Hongkou Air Force Base, and the Hongkou Base fell for a time.

Subsequently, the Japanese side rapidly increased its troops, and the two sides started a tug-of-war.

More than ten days after the war in Songhu, Mu Bingci arrived in Beiping.Mu Yang handed over the command of the Southern Army to Yu Mubing.At this time, Mu Bingci knew that the National Day was going to war in Shanghai, relying on Feng Shilai's intelligence channel, he had a general understanding of the situation in Shanghai, and immediately began to arrange measures to take against the Northeast.

"At present, both Nanjing and Japan have invested all their elite forces to fight in Shanghai. The Northeast is the earliest base for the Japanese Kwantung Army to station and develop. The railways, seaports, granaries and arsenals are all the support of the Japanese military supply. The Japanese rely on advanced and sophisticated weapons. To make up for the lack of manpower. Now that the Japanese are going south, the garrison in the Northeast will drop sharply, and the defense will be weak. If our southern army invades the Northeast at this time and blows up the Japanese granary, transportation and arsenal, it will be able to contain it to a large extent. The Japanese army's investment in the Shanghai battlefield."

"The reason why Japan took the sea route from Dandong is because it is more convenient to go to Shanghai by sea route, and secondly, they don't want to waste their troops breaking through the Beiping defense line. Their troops are not enough to open two battlefields at the same time. In this case, we took the initiative to attack. Go straight into the Japanese lair and catch him off guard! This will allow Jiang Chengyan to have no worries and focus his firepower to encircle and wipe out the Japanese army in Shanghai!"

Several leaders of the Southern Army readily agreed.

Three days later, the Beiping garrison dispatched 50 elite troops to attack the Japanese base camp in the northeast.After two months of away battles, the Southern Army pacified the Northeast, regained the lost territory of the three provinces that had been Japan's home ground since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and crushed Japan's plot to open the northern and southern fronts.The Japanese side had to supply supplies and troops from the mainland and concentrate on fighting in Shanghai.

The forced expulsion of the Japanese army from the Northeast caused waves like a stone in Japan.The original main battle and the main and two factions, the emperor and the military were forced to stand on the front line, and finally fulfilled Japan's crazy ambition to "seize the governance of Southeast Asia with all its strength" from top to bottom.

For the Japanese side, losing the Northeast also lost the control of the front line.On the contrary, the concentrated combat highlighted the Japanese side's superiority in weapons. After more than two months of hard work, the Japanese side broke through the large-scale siege of the national army and began to organize counterattacks one by one based on the breakthrough.Thanks to the superiority of the navy and the protection of armored equipment, the Japanese gradually pushed back the front line of the Central Army.In November, the advantage of the war began to favor the Japanese side. The Central Army suffered heavy casualties and had to start retreating towards Nanjing.

In mid-November, Jiang Chengyan sent people to organize the evacuation of important officials of the new Shanghai government.

Since the start of the war, Jiang Chengyan has almost taken over the office, and is still at his desk in the middle of the night to read the battle report.There was a sound of high-heeled shoes knocking on the ground in the corridor, and Lu Chaosheng outside the door said: "Miss Wang is here." The door was pushed open.

Wang Kewei came in and said: "Tomorrow I will fly to the United States. One is that the supply of ammunition has been too tight since the start of the war. I will go and talk to them in person. If the official supply cannot be obtained, I will also make an appointment with the boss of a gang over there. , take the goods directly from them. Another, I want to win the solidarity of the international community. If I can mediate this war, it might be a way out. What do you think?"

Jiang Chengyan stood up and looked at Wang Kewei with gentle eyes: "Just do what you want. The country is like this, and there are women like you. It is really the country's luck."

Wang Kewei said: "This is what I want to do. What kind of country are you talking about? I also want to ask you, what are you going to do? Now Shanghai is too dangerous. In my opinion, you should evacuate first, and you won't go to the battlefield yourself. You can also command the deployment of troops in Nanjing."

Jiang Chengyan shook his head and smiled lightly: "There is no way for me to retreat. The war is like this, and Nanjing is not a place where I want to go. Now, I only have one way to live and die with Shanghai."

Wang Kewei frowned: "What do you mean? Did your elder brother do something else?"

Jiang Chengyan said: "Not yet. But as the commander of the whole army, the fate of defeat is not good. It can still be a way to save face. I let the southern army be independent before. Now in the battle of Shanghai, I have sent the best troops of the Central Army. If you were my eldest brother, what would you think? Since ancient times, the king's heart is unpredictable, isn't it true? Maybe I deliberately damaged the Central Army in order to seize power by the Southern Army in the future. If I lose again I left Shanghai, let the Nanjing army approach the city, is there any way for me to survive?"

Wang Kewei was silent, she knew that Jiang Chengyan was right.The military is not just the military, it is also involved in the political game. "Don't worry, I will definitely win arms supplies and support from the international community, and I won't let you sacrifice your life to the city."

Jiang Chengyan said with a smile: "Don't worry too. Sacrifice the city with your body is the worst plan. There will be more battles until the last moment."

Three days later, Jiang Chengyan suddenly answered the call from Nanjing, and it was Jiang Chengbo's secretary.The secretary informed on the phone that Jiang Chengbo came out of the government building last night and was assassinated on the way back to the mansion.Mr. Chairman was slightly injured, but his life was not in danger. It is suspected that it was done by insiders.Jiang Chengbo didn't dare to use the current guards anymore, so he asked his secretary to convey to Jiang Chengyan that he would requisition the personal guards of the Blue Shirt Society Taibao.At the same time, Jiang Chengyan was ordered to leave for Nanjing to discuss matters immediately, and the war command in Shanghai was temporarily handed over to Zheng Zhizhong, commander of the [-]th Route Army.

Jiang Chengyan answered the call, knowing that he couldn't avoid the arrival, but he didn't expect that Jiang Chengbo would change his generals just in front of the battle.If it wasn't for the unbearable suspicion of him, even a person who doesn't understand military affairs would not be stupid enough to make such a decision to self-destruct the Great Wall.Regarding Mu Bingci's mutiny and departure earlier, Jiang Chengyan guessed that Jiang Chengbo must be suspicious of him, but he just didn't want to be so jealous.

It is not known whether the assassination was true or not. The only point is that Jiang Chengbo wanted to call the Blue Shirts Society to break Jiang Chengyan's arm.So what will happen next? There are too many records of various dynasties in history.Jiang Chengyan guessed that the current era is naturally different from the old monarchy, and Jiang Chengbo may not have the intention to kill him.But he really fell into the hands of those people in Nanjing, and nothing can be said for sure.

Jiang Chengyan understands better that the current situation is a dilemma.Naturally, he could use the tension of the war as an excuse not to go to Nanjing, but this is equivalent to clearly showing that he has objections.Since there was objection, the gang in Nanjing had a reason to arrange the assassination. Whoever was Jiang Chengbo's "Qing Emperor's side" would of course be punished by Jiang Chengbo for "disregarding brotherhood and family ties", but the fact is that Jiang Chengbo can rest easy from now on and never use it again. Worry and fear.

No matter how the regime changes its name and surname, the essence is the eternal scheming of people.

Jiang Chengyan summoned Lu Chaosheng, Du Yiheng Qinhuai and others from the Youth Gang in the middle of the night to discuss countermeasures.

Qin Huai was so angry that when he heard about this, he patted the table and said, "Damn these bird people! Don't even look at what the hell is going on in Shanghai now, they actually changed their coaches to death! For this broken government, three The Lord can make money, and can offer guns and guns. When did you say a word more when you went up the knife mountain and down the oil pan! Even if it is the kindness of life, the third master should pay it back! They can actually treat the third master for a little bit of vain suspicion. Use this dark method!"

Jiang Chengyan frowned and said nothing, now it's useless to complain about these things, he is only thinking about solving this predicament in this way.The Blue Shirts Club was founded by him alone, and he couldn't bear to send them to Nanjing to serve as cannon fodder.If the Blue Shirts Society was sent to Nanjing in order to paralyze Jiang Chengbo, there would be no return.

Du Yiheng was also extremely angry: "It's his ancestor, third brother, anyway, we are forced to have nowhere to go, so why not just turn against his grandma! Just like Tan Feng back then, he didn't want to be a human being, so let him do it." no one!"

Jiang Chengyan shook his head: "Nanjing has no vision, and I can't be like them. The current war is difficult. If we add civil strife, we don't need to be bombarded by enemy artillery, and we can kill each other. If this regime becomes as divided as before In the situation of separatism, our country really cannot be kept. Although I don't want to make great achievements for thousands of years, I also don't want to be a sinner for thousands of years."

Du Yiheng and Qinhuai got angry.

Lu Chaosheng said calmly: "Third Master, you don't have to worry so much. If you really don't want to go to Nanjing, then you can refuse them. The Blue Shirts Club is a dead man, at most we can fight our way out of Shanghai."

Du Yiheng also said: "That's right. The third master is still preparing for a counterattack. However, since the suspicion in Nanjing has reached this level, it will not be so easy for you to mobilize the army next time. When the war fails, it will not be because of our citizens." Are you kidding me about your life? How many innocent souls will be buried in the last bastard's decision? Third Master, think about it for yourself!"

Jiang Chengyan sighed: "I have listened to what you said. Let me think about this matter again."

At this time, Mu Bingci had just returned to Beiping from his inspection tour in the Northeast, when Feng Shilai's informant brought news from Nanjing and Shanghai.It was Ah She who came back this time, and told Mu Bingci about the message from Feng Shilai, and added: "Phantom said, the League is short of someone who can make money, and the person in Shanghai wants us to take a ferry. Of course." , I told you that it is for you to decide for yourself, whether you want to interfere in this matter."

As soon as Amnesty left, Mu Bingci hung up the phone that night and called Jiang Chengyan's office.Jiang Chengyan was holding a military meeting, and it was Lu Chaosheng who answered the phone.

Mu Bingci immediately asked, "What is Jiang Chengyan going to do about the matter in Nanjing?"

Lu Chaosheng said: "The third master said that after you leave, you don't need to contact me again in this life." Lu Chaosheng, who has no temper, actually had a bit of sarcasm in his tone, "Since Mr. Mu is free now, let's live your happy life. The third master's business There are too many, and I can't control your business. Besides, no matter how strong the third master is, he is still a person. If life is worse than death, one time is enough. "

Mu Bingci became angry when he heard the words, and the unreasonable son's temper was provoked by Lu Chaosheng's few words: "What are you talking about? Jiang Chengyan doesn't want me anymore. How can I live a happy life? You ask Jiang Chengyan to wait for me! I I have the final say on what to do with him!"

Mu Bingci dropped the phone.

Just as Lu Chaosheng hung up the phone, Jiang Chengyan opened the door and came in. "Whose call is it?"

Lu Chaosheng was stunned, "It's Yu Luo." His ears turned red inexplicably.
