Chapter 40 Break the boat and sink the boat

As the young master Wang Gongguan, he met the Army, Navy, Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Academy of Kyoya. As the person who was close to Wang Jingwei, he met the commander of the North China Expeditionary Army, the Ministry of Navy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Academy of Kyoya. He even took a photo together.

Not everyone has this great "award" and it is not for him to see such a big world.

After agreeing to Mr. Chen to return to Shanghai with him, Wang Jingwei changed the subject and asked about Liu Peixu's recruitment progress. When he learned that his activities were seriously insufficient and the recruitment work was about to be unsustainable, he naturally started to make up his plan again.

The future chairman of the National Government and chairman of the Military Commission spoke. Master Chen had to give face. Anyway, the wool came from the sheep, and as long as he could gain his true trust, the spent will be retrieved sooner or later. So he took out the remaining 30,000 silver rolls without hesitation and handed them over to Liu Peixu.

As Mei Siping said, with Wang Jingwei and Ying Zuozhenzhao here, it was not a big deal to buy train tickets for nearly 300 subordinates. Considering that Wang Jingwei and his party were leaving in the afternoon, Master Chen simply divided his troops into two groups, allowing Chen Changfu, Zhang Qingxi and Adong to lead the newly recruited subordinates to take the train tomorrow morning, and he went to Tianjin with Wang Jingwei and took the "Five-Star Pill" to return to Shanghai first.

The Japanese ships provided by the ships were much faster than stop-and-go trains. At around 5 pm the next day, the "Wuxingmaru" arrived at the Huangpu River.

Zhou Fohai, Tao Xisheng, Lin Bosheng and Fu Shi said that Chen Bijun and Chen Changzu, who returned from their hometown in Guangdong, Chu Minyi, Ye Peng, Yang Kuiyi, who had already stayed in Shanghai, and Iwakawa, Imai and Haruki, who were the "Mei Machinery", had already been waiting at the dock under the protection of the Japanese military police with live ammunition.

After a long separation, I met again, and after greetings, I said hello to everyone one by one, Wang Jingwei got off at Zhou Fohai's suggestion and prepared to return to his new home in Shanghai, Lane 1136, Yuyuan Road.

Among so many people, Master Chen likes to deal with Chu Minyi the most. Before he could speak, Chen Bijun's familiar voice came from the front, "Jizu, come and take a car with my cousin."

"Go, why are you still standing there?"

Chu Minyi glanced at him with sympathy and pushed him forward even more vigorously. He was about to be preached again. Master Chen sighed secretly and had to bite the bullet and respond, "Here you come!"

Wang Jingwei and Zhou Fohai seemed to have something important to say. They occupied a car, otherwise there would be no seat in the tigress car. Seeing Chen Changzu in the co-pilot looking at him with a smile, Master Chen immediately pretended to be aggrieved and muttered: "Cousin, cousin, where did you go some time ago? The phone could not be reached and the plum blossom hall could not be entered, which made me worry about you all day long."

"Don't be hypocritical," Chen Bijun rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Where are we going, let's talk about it later. Tell me if you have quit smoking?"

He looked like an elder sister. He couldn't figure it out, but he really cared about her. Master Chen was very disdainful, but he still straightened his back and said, "Go abstain."

"I'm really quitting?"

"I've really quit! I haven't touched you for a month. My cousin, I'm a puppy."

This childish sentence made Chen Bijun burst into laughter, "I'm still a puppy, I'm over twenty years old and I'm the leader. I can't always be so unrestrained."

"I think I'm really quitting," Chen Changzu pointed to his face and said, "It's much better than when I went to the plum blossom hall last time. It's not easy, it's really not easy."

After not smoking a lot of smoke for more than two months, Master Chen's health is getting better and better. At first glance, it really gives people a feeling of being reborn. Chen Bijun nodded with satisfaction, held his hand, and said earnestly: "Cousin, quitting smoking is due to perseverance. Don't think that my cousin is long-winded. Now is the critical time to quit completely, so you must persevere and never give up halfway."

"I know, I will never be disappointed in my cousin."

"I'm very pleased to think of this," Chen Bijun changed the topic and pointed to Chen Changzu in front and said, "Didn't you ask where Changzu and I went some time ago? We went back to our hometown in Xinhui and recruited some reliable children from our hometown like you."

"This is a good thing! My cousin-in-law is hated by others for his difficulty in dealing with 'harmony'. How can I deal with safety matters with others? My cousin is right, but my own people are reliable."

"It's rare that my cousin is so sensible, much better than those who only know how to ask for officials and money."

Chen Bijun helped her glasses and continued, "But although she has been recruited, she has no guns or cannons, and she doesn't even have a place to train. It's not a big deal. Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun are willing to provide it, but what's the difference between this and a fake hand? After weighing it several times, my cousin thought of you in the end..."

As expected, the gun doesn’t have to be bought by yourself, and the military camp is not yours. Master Chen blurted out without thinking: “Isn’t it just a few guns, there is no need to ask for help! Cousin, I’ve wrapped it on me, I’ll say a word to you tomorrow morning.”

Chen Changzu struck while the iron was hot and asked, "Where is the military camp?"

"Why do you have to say two families? Just let them go," Master Chen paused and added: "Let me tell the old master and let him solve the problem of the bed and food."

Chen Bijun was ecstatic and suddenly laughed like a man: "It's better for me to be happy. Don't worry, my cousin won't let you suffer. When Mr. Zhou finishes his work, he will help you make up for food and salary."

While talking, the convoy slowly drove into Lane 136, Yuyuan Road.

This is a long lane with only one exit facing Yuyuan Road, which is very quiet and secluded. There are more than a dozen small garden villas in the lane. No. 76 has moved all the original residents, and now they are living by Zhou Fohai, Chu Minyi, Mei Enping, Chen Chunpu, Luo Junqiang and others.

The security is under the responsibility of more than 100 spies from the No. 76 Guard Brigade, and is strictly protected day and night. Without temporary documents issued by No. 76 or specific guests notified in advance, they are completely unable to enter the building.

Only a very small number of important figures who participated in the preparations for the new government did not live there. According to Chen Changzu, besides Cen Deguang and Lin Bosheng, Tao Xisheng and Gao Zongwu also lived in the concession.

The "traitors" among the two traitors Tao Xisheng and Gao Zongwu, Mr. Chen, is well-known. If nothing unexpected happens, they will part ways with Wang Jingwei in a few months. They can have a good end, but they can't wash away the shame of being Wang Jingwei's pawn. After all, without their threading needles, it's still a matter of whether Wang Jingwei will escape.

It is precisely because of this that Master Chen gave up the idea of ​​turning against him in their way, and decided to do it with real swords and guns, so that no one could say anything.

Seeing that Master Chen was staring blankly at Tao Xisheng and Gao Zongwu who were talking to Wang Jingwei and Zhou Fohai in the distance, Chen Changzu couldn't help but ask, "Jizu, what are you looking at?"

"It's nothing," Mr. Chen recovered from his senses and followed him in, while perfunctorily said: "I'm wondering if I'm going to Director Ding to apply for a pass, so as to avoid inconvenience in making calls back and forth."

"What to do?"

Chen Bijun turned around and pointed to the villa at the entrance of the trunk. "See, Ye Peng, Yang Kuiyi and others have moved here. Jizu, after listening to his cousin's advice, the road to Columbia is not peaceful, so he might as well move here like them, so that sooner or later there will be some care."

"It's natural to move here, but I'm a major regiment commander after all. I don't know how to serve my cousin's husband in the future? Cousin, I'll just live in Jiangwan Military Camp."

"Where are the third and fourth wives? You're so confident to throw them on Columbia Road."

"Let them all go to the military camp, sew and repair, wash and cook, and always come in handy."

Chen Bijun was happy and couldn't help asking: "Can you still do the Wuyang grocery and medicine business?"

Master Chen's face turned a bit and said seriously: "Cousin, I am determined to engage in 'harmony' with my cousin'. I can't be busy with military affairs. How can I have time and energy to do any business? I will let them close their business and sell the garden villa."

"Are you kidding?"

Chen Bijun was completely stunned and could not believe that this was true. Chen Changzu even reminded: "Cousin, it is not easy for uncle to earn this family business, so why don't you think about it again."

"What are you thinking about?" Master Chen raised his head and said firmly: "Let the knife be quick and live up to the young man! My cousin and my cousin's husband don't even want their lives to carry out the revolution. What is my little property?"

There are so many people in the alley, and they all swear to be loyal to Wang Jingwei, but they either ask for money or officials. Who can do this for the "peace movement" like Master Chen?

Chen Bijun was moved and grabbed his arm tightly and choked and said, "Cousin, from now on, you will be my sister's younger brother. Don't do this major anymore, just do it, just do it! I will still be in Nanjing in the future. I will definitely ask my fourth brother to give you the title of major general. Let's see who dares to look down on you as much as you are now."

Master Chen was amused and said with a roar, "Then I have to recruit more soldiers, otherwise I will be laughed at as a major general."

I have seen a prodigal son, but I have never seen such a heartless prodigal son. Chen Changzu was shocked and was stunned for a while before laughing: "It's still my cousin who is ambitious, go... don't talk outside. Let's go in and celebrate you well. I wish you a promotion to the captain's commander."

Qiu, Xie, Yang, Lin, Chen, and the children of the five major surname companies in Penang were waiting in Jiangwan Military Camp. Master Chen had no time to go in to celebrate his "promotion", so he said seriously: "Cousin, I'd better not go in. Nearly 100 brothers from Longshan Hall, Zhide Hall, Shitang, Jiulong Hall and Yingchuan Hall have been training for nearly ten days, and it's really unreasonable if I don't show up again."

He spared no effort to pull Master Chen into the water, wasn’t he trying to win over the Fujian company behind him? Chen Bijun knew which one was more important and immediately agreed: “Jizu is right, it’s more important to do serious business. Changzu, go and tell Adjutant Gui and ask him to arrange a car. Forget it…just use my car.”
