Findings at sea

Before the war comes, all noise and entanglements are trivial matters.Once the war starts, nothing matters except life and death.

The Japanese army blatantly blew up a section of the South Manchurian railway track near Liutiao Lake in the northern suburbs of Shenyang, launching the long-planned September 1931th Incident, and the desire to invade China was clearly revealed to the world.However, Jiang was caught in the civil war, and he devoted himself to mediating and fighting with his political opponents, and had no time to take care of foreign aggression. On September 9, 23, the Nanjing Nationalist Government issued a "Message to the People of the Nation", which contained the following content: Strictly order the national army to avoid conflicts with the Japanese army, and unanimously warn the people to maintain a serious and calm attitude.The non-resistance policy towards the Japanese army can be seen.

The whole country was agitated, citizens all over the country set off an unprecedented anti-Japanese national salvation movement, and even demanded that the government send troops to fight against the Japanese invaders and recover the country.The workers, students, and citizens of Shanghai couldn't bear to be left behind, and there were huge demonstrations and strikes every day.However, it has no deterrent effect on the war outside the pass.

The Japanese army launched an aggression on the 18th.

On the 19th, they went to Liaoning and occupied Anfeng, Liaoyang, and Changchun more than [-] cities that day.

On the 20th, Fengtian was occupied.

On the 21st, Jilin and Liaoning were occupied.

The Japanese army pressed harder and harder, and the war continued to expand. The Kuomintang government still pursued a policy of non-resistance.It seems that the enemy bandits are about to occupy the entire Northeast with a destructive force.

Ruoyu waits for news in the newspaper every day, Mu Ke went to the northeast for half a year, and the north began to fight.He stared at the newspaper every day, reluctant to miss a word, afraid of seeing the word "Heilongjiang", and wanted to see it again. All his hopes were pinned on these three words, because Mu Ke was there, and there was turmoil there.He was thin-skinned and never wrote a letter to Mu Ke, and waited for him to write to himself with gritted teeth, but he hadn't received one in half a year, and when he thought about it, he felt like crying.

Mu Rusong was more like an ant on a hot pot. He ran to the Du mansion all day long. The two children were going to seek refuge, not to die. It was the 20 troops from the Northeast who withdrew outside the customs without saying a word, and the entire Hyogo in the Northeast was empty, and it was a matter of time before it fell.He has to bring his son back, but there is no news about this bastard and his unreliable uncle...

Liu Ying'er has been pregnant for eight months. She has a petite frame, a round belly and a little swollen body, but she is born with the frailty of a prostitute, which makes people doubt whether she has the life to give birth to the child.Xu Baoshan was waiting at home every day to be a father. These days, he had taken a lot of care with his son who was still in the womb, and wanted to try something new on a whim. He decided to wait for Yingying to give birth, and hold the wedding and full moon wine together.

Xu Baoshan lay on Liu Yinger's belly to listen to the fetal movement, he stroked carefully and quickly covered his baby, resting his head on Liu Yinger's lap, Liu Yinger peeled pine nuts and threw them into his mouth.

Xu Baoshan touched that belly again, he couldn't put it down, Liu Yinger laughed at him as a duplicity old fritter.Looking up and seeing Ji Xingtang coming, Xu Baoshan kicked his legs up and sat up beckoning him, "Xingtang, it's just in time, come and listen to my lively and precious son!"

Liu Ying'er chuckled and threw all the pine nut shells into his arms, calling him absurd, got up and poured Ji Xingtang a cup of tea, and said kindly, "If you have something to talk about first."

Xu Baoshan threw Song Ke'er in his arms and watched Liu Ying'er go upstairs lazily supported by her mother, like a family. "Xingtang, what's my son's name? Call him Baozi, follow me, haha."

Ji Xingtang envied him for being unrestrained and casual, "Okay."

Xu Baoshan let out a "beep", mocking him for being boring.

Ji Xingtang was a little embarrassed and then said, "Brother Baoshan, you are a person who knows the general situation. A few days ago, Zixuan was accidentally injured by a Japanese who made trouble on the way back." The bottle smashed the head.

Liu Ying'er couldn't smell the smell of cigarettes. As soon as she left, Xu Baoshan began to have fun. He took out a lot of good cigarettes from under the coffee table, picked them for a while, and handed Ji Xingtang a Heng brand cigar, and the lighter clicked out. "What? You came to me to sue your baby? Don't spoil him all the time, he will poke things. I haven't had enough of being in prison last time? Maybe this time I'm trying to be brave again."

Ji Xingtang waved his hand, "I didn't mean to say that. There was a fight in the Northeast, and the Japanese in Shanghai began to become more and more arrogant. Four or five people dared to deliberately provoke and make trouble in front of the parade. Most likely it is because of the strength of the country and the strength of the people." , the barbarians in their humble land dare to bully us, I think..."

Xu Baoshan interrupted him, and said with a sneer, "What do you want to do? Go to the northeast to fight against the Japanese? Or go to the street to catch the Japanese?"

"In my opinion, we can't sit still. Shanghai Beach is our territory, and it's not up to the Japanese to be arrogant. Besides, those workers and students are on strike all day long, making people panic." Ji Xingtang said, pinching the cigarette holder, "I want to find some The leaders of the industrial and commercial circles discussed the establishment of an organization. Lu Qiaqing, Wang Xiaolai, and Yu Songqiao were all influential people. They would unite them to fight against Japanese goods, making it difficult for the Japanese to do business in Shanghai. Second, take the lead."

"That's natural. Of course it's good for you to start with them, but these businessmen are old cunning ghosts. You want them to join you in boycotting Japanese goods? Guess they're selling Japanese goods themselves, tsk, a bit It's a little difficult."

Ji Xingtang nodded, indeed.

"Don't say it's against the sun, the baby is smashed by someone and you want to give him a bad breath? What are you pretending to be coquettish?" Xu Baoshan saw him swearing that he would not give up, made a joke for him, paused for a moment and said, "It's got to be , you just let go and do it! If there is no one, I will find someone for you, and if there is no money, I will pay you. I think you should go to the mayor or the director of the municipal party department first, and everything will be easy to do when you are an official."

Friendship, friendliness, and friendliness are the three friends who are beneficial.Ji Xingtang has seen too many inside stories about intrigues and deceptions, turning his hands into clouds and rain, and getting along with such a friend who has no city but respects morality, he only feels that the touching morality in him is worth his life. His lifelong brother Baoshan.

Ji Xingtang immediately went to find Tao Baichuan, the director of the municipal party department, only to hear from the secretary-general that the director had important matters to discuss tonight and couldn't entertain him, so he asked him to go back first.Ji Xingtang didn't stay long, but when he was leaving, he saw Bai Xiaohong who had just gotten out of the car.He just discovered that the evening in September is still so beautiful, but with a touch of melancholy.

Who said that old age and death do not communicate with each other, after all, enemies always gather together.Bai Xiaohong grabbed the person who was about to pass him by, and said sideways, "I know what you are here for, let's go together."

After finishing speaking, he walked straight to the iron gate, he knew everything about his thoughts.

Bai Xiaohong came to Tao Baichuan today to deal with the Japanese affairs.He doesn't care whether there is a war or not, he doesn't believe that the Japanese dared to openly violate international treaties and make trouble in the concession, but there are people who dare to break ground on Taisui. The bodyguard of the Xinguang Theater - his disciple let the Japanese The gun was shot to death, which really made him lose face.

At this time, Shanghai was the forefront of the Japanese invasion of the Chinese mainland. Japanese spies, ronin, and expatriates were also very active during this period. They openly spied on intelligence, provoked troubles, and created public opinion and excuses for aggression everywhere, just as the September [-]th Incident framed China. The army deliberately killed Japanese soldiers, and framing them is a common tactic.It's just that not having long eyes offended Bai Xiaohong!

Ji Xingtang followed suspiciously, and Tao Baichuan was looking for him to discuss important matters.After exchanging pleasantries in the meeting room for a while, Lu Qiaqing, Wang Xiaolai, and more than [-] business leaders came one after another.Ji Xingtang alone is the indomitable second master, he is always too eye-catching, making Ji Xingtang seem insignificant at this moment.

The table is full of people, dressed like beasts.

Bai Xiaohong stated the purpose of the meeting succinctly, with no room for rebuttal, "The establishment of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Congress will imitate the economic boycott of the British by the business and academic circles of the May [-]th tragedy, and put pressure on the Japanese starting from the prohibition of Japanese goods."

As soon as this remark came out, some people began to be restless. They could not understand the arrogance and domineering of the Japanese, and the arrogance of the gang leaders, and they could not accept that the Japanese goods in their hands could not be sold, and no one dared to say it. Who knew this? Is it a Hongmen Banquet?

After a long silence, someone stood up to protest, "Anti-Japanese war is the government's business. Now that the government says no resistance, why are we in troubled waters? Anti-Japanese war is a matter of war. What's the use of banning Japanese products? It's nothing more than hurting our own business."

Someone at the table nodded in agreement.

Bai Xiaohong raised his eyebrows and glanced at him. He dared to stand up for his own interests, but he dismissed it. "Xingtang, tell me."

Ji Xingtang looked at the people at the table, stood up and said calmly, "Boss Lu, a few days ago, five thousand students went to Nanjing to petition, united with the enemy to demand that the government stop the civil war and go north to resist Japan. Anyway, we are people who have seen the world. Sometimes I think about earning some petty profits by relying on Japanese products. The students with small stomachs and small stomachs are no better than the students who have no power to restrain chickens. It is a joke to say it. Besides, Shanghai is our territory. Fight against them. The people are fighting against the Japanese fiercely. Maybe you will smash your stalls if you don’t buy Japanese products. Now it is what the people want to take the lead in fighting against the Japanese. In the future, it will be more profitable to sell domestic products.”

When Ji Xingtang stepped forward to speak, the tycoons looked at each other, which made sense.There were discussions in twos and threes, and after a long time, Tao Baichuan agreed first, with a sincere look, "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. We are Chinese, and now the Japanese are rampant in the land of China. How can we sit idly by? Not to mention disregarding the righteousness of the nation for self-interest. I agree with the establishment of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Association.”

The two parties debated for a long time, and the mayor had spoken, so he couldn't say much, and finally voted to establish the Anti-Japanese Salvation Association.This makes the two brothers appear to be of one heart and one mind.

In this discussion, Shanghai's core forces and strengths are among them.The mayor sent the group of 27 people out. As soon as they arrived at the iron gate, two fast cars drove up on both sides of the road. With the first gunshot, the bullets grazed people's ears and hit the wall, and the second gunshot There was a loud noise, and the bullet hit Lu Qiaqing's arm.

The beam of the street lamp flickered on and off, and the group became panicked and confused. Tao Baichuan shouted, "Everyone, don't panic! Ask the bodyguards to take him to the hospital!" The two carried the terrified Lu Qiaqing into the car and went to the hospital. Go, Tao Baichuan shouted hoarsely and still couldn't suppress the noise, "The Japanese are going to attack now!" "They're calling!" "It's too arrogant!"

In the confusion, Bai Xiaohong groped for Ji Xingtang's hand and pulled him to his side, "Grab me tight."

"We were targeted by the Japanese." Ji Xingtang anxiously clutched that warm and strong hand, and shouted, "Everyone, don't panic! Hurry up and go inside to avoid bombs! It's dangerous outside!"

The more he yelled, the more no one paid attention to him, and they all rushed into the car to leave this right and wrong place as soon as possible. It was chaotic for a while, and they didn't know who got into whose car. Knock open.Bai Xiaohong shouted while looking for the car, "Xingtang! Leave them alone, get in the car and leave!"

Gunshots rang out again amid the commotion, and the two cars reappeared like ghosts, mingling among the cars that were starting their engines.The people in the car provocatively smashed the window glass with a pistol, causing panic, and then started talking and shooting at people.Then there were several gunshots of "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Dangerous!" Ji Xingtang rushed towards Tao Baichuan who was standing there at a loss. He really didn't expect the Japanese to be so bold as to shoot and kill people directly.

"Xingtang!" Bai Xiaohong watched him fall to the ground, and a car ran over the two of them. He was so frightened that he hurriedly ran past the intertwined cars, suffocating in fright for a moment, and then saw the person. He gasped for breath, but luckily it was an angle problem.The next moment, Bai Xiaohong had no time to react, and covered his body and hugged his head.

The guards around the city hall rushed over with guns after hearing the movement.The two cars suddenly went crazy and went on a rampage, and slipped away like breaking out of the encirclement.
