Lost and Spy

Chapter 702 Shocking Events
"Chu Xiuyan does have a lot of national integrity."

Yu Qiaqing said calmly: "This man was originally a bandit, and he once planned to kidnap me when I returned to Ningbo, but I got the news in advance and set up a trap to catch him. This man He is also a man who knows he will die. Not only is he not afraid, he even smiled and said to me, "Boss Yu, I will try to tie you up in my next life."

I'm a cheap person. When I heard what he said, I didn't want to kill him. Not only did I let him go, but I also bought him a drink. The two of us had a long talk all night, and in the end he felt the same. Being a bandit all the time is not a thing.I advised him that he could learn to do business with me and make a lot of money, and he agreed as soon as he heard it. "

Yu Qiaqing said it lightly, but Meng Shaoyuan knew that it would take a lot of effort to tell people like Chu Xiuyan not to be a bandit to do business.

Yu Qiaqing continued there again: "As for me, I brought him to Shanghai and taught him for a while. This man is also smart, he learns quickly, and he can recognize characters and learn a few sentences of English. Let me see the temperature It's almost done, let him go back to Ningbo, I still have some property in Ningbo, and I need someone to help me take care of it, no one is more suitable than him."

Good manners.

Meng Shaoyuan was very emotional.

That was the person who wanted to kidnap him. Yu Qiaqing not only didn't kill him, but even handed over all his foundation in his hometown to him to take care of.

Ordinary people can't do it.

Yu Qiaqing didn't seem to take it seriously: "This man has lived up to my expectations, and he has managed Ningbo's business well. Moreover, he values ​​love and righteousness. We almost ran out of ammunition and food during the incident at the Siming Office." , It was he who personally escorted a large amount of supplies from Ningbo, solved our urgent needs, and finally made the French bow their heads."

Ningbo merchants are the most powerful business gang in Shanghai.Siming Gongsuo is the guild hall and public cemetery for people from Ningbo who lived in Shanghai. It was founded in 1797 and is located in the northwest of Shanghai County, next to the moat. It was included in the French Concession in 1862.

At that time, the French envoy to China made a promise not to infringe on the Siming Office.

In May 1898, the bubonic plague broke out in Shanghai. The Board of Directors of the French Concession raised the issue of building roads again, which resulted in conflicts with the Ningbo Association.

On July 7, the French Consul General Bai Zaotai ordered sailors and patrols to occupy the Siming Mansion and demolish the wall.A protest march took place that night.

On the morning of the 17th, Bai Zaotai ordered the suppression. French sailors shot at the demonstrators in Shiliupu and Siming Gong, killing 17 people and injuring more than 20 people.

The massacre triggered a unanimous stoppage and strike protest by all Ningbo residents in Shanghai. In the end, most of the real estate of the Siming Office was preserved, and only a small part was given up to open up Ningbo Road.

In this incident, Yu Qiaqing encouraged Shen Honglai, the leader of the laundry industry, to lead the laundry workers in the city to refuse to serve the French, making him a well-known figure among women and children in Shanghai.

Therefore, he was elected as the director of Siming Gongsuo.

This is also Yu Qiaqing's proudest work in his life.

"From then on, I simply stopped asking about Ningbo's affairs and left it to him to deal with it." Yu Qiaqing was also very proud of her knowledge: "Last year, when the Japanese secret agents made trouble, it was this Chu Xiuyan who stepped forward to assist the authorities. Many Japanese and traitors were caught, and the situation in Ningbo was quickly stabilized, which is considered a great achievement.”

Speaking of this, he paused for a while: "Since Boss Meng is going to Ningbo this time to do something big, this Chu Xiuyan thinks he can help, so I will send someone to deliver a letter to him, asking him to do his best to help Meng. boss."

"Boss Yu, thank you for your kindness." Meng Shaoyuan cupped his hands: "We will never forget what you have done for us."

"Everyone is Chinese, so why don't you just say thank you." Yu Qiaqing sighed: "It's a pity that I am old and can't go to the battlefield or hold a gun. I can only do what I can do."

"Boss Yu cooperated with the Italians to buy a large amount of food to help the victims. It was an act of righteousness."

"Small things are not worth mentioning, and they are incomparable to those big things that Boss Meng has done." Yu Qiaqing said politely: "Boss Meng needs to be cautious when going to Ningbo. How about this, you go to Ningbo on the ship of my steamship company. My ship The company’s Shanghai-Ningbo line departs every day, no matter what time it is to leave, Boss Meng can always be satisfied.”

"Boss Yu won't owe me anything from now on." Meng Shaoyuan said frankly, "From now on, whenever Boss Yu has something to do, just give me a call, and I'm determined to do my best."

"It's good to have your words."

Yu Qiaqing stood up: "I wanted to keep Boss Meng here for dinner, but I also know that Boss Meng is busy with business and dare not stay for long, so I will see off the guests. When Boss Meng returns from Ningbo victoriously, I will hold a banquet to celebrate!"

"Boss Yu, thank you very much, and leave!"

……

This visit to Yu Qiaqing was unusually smooth.

Meng Shaoyuan calculated the time and took the boat tomorrow to Ningbo, there would be no delay.

Gan Ning, Xu Zhu and others went with him.

Locally, there are naturally people from the Ningbo Station of the Military Command to respond.

"Take Yu Yanchu with you."

Wu Jingyi suddenly made such a suggestion.

Ok?Yu Yanchu?
Ever since Cai Xuefei and Zhu Yanni got pregnant, Meng Shaoyuan's flamboyant intestines have decreased a lot.

Besides, even though Yu Yanchu was pretty, it was He Ruyi who had solemnly confessed to her.

If the teacher lost his temper, it would be much more serious than Dai Li.

"Yu Yanchu is from Ningbo." Wu Jingyi, who had always been very disapproving of Meng Shaoyuan's lust, actually suggested this today: "Ningbo Cixiang is still Yu Qiaqing's distant relative. In terms of seniority, he is still of the same generation as Yu Qiaqing."

what?
The difference of decades between the two people is actually the same generation?Seniority is really amazing.

"We have almost no influence in Ningbo." Wu Jingyi has a very clear grasp of the situation: "There is a squadron active there, with only a few people in total. The squadron leader is Lai Songsheng from Shanghai in the past. It is estimated that he can help you to a limited extent. Although Yu Qiaqing asked Chu Xiuyan to help, but It's hard for us to say what kind of person this person is and how much he can help."

In this way, bringing Yu Yanchu, who is the same generation as Yu Qiaqing, with him may be useful.

"Then let's arrange it like this." Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while: "However, don't let Zhu Yanni know about this, women are easy to think wildly sometimes."

"Don't do anything wrong, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." Wu Jingyi replied: "Also, your big brother has sent a lot of people over the past few days."

"My big brother?"

Meng Shaoyuan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized, isn't it Zhang Renkui, the old master of Jinghu?

"He selected more than 100 people from his disciples." Wu Jingyi said immediately: "Sun Qingsheng brought them here, and they were all above and below the age of 35. Zhang Renkui said that these are courageous and insightful people. Yes, and all of them have practiced boxing and kicking hard, and I want them to join the military command, so that they can fight the Japanese!"

Meng Shaoyuan rubbed his nose: "It would be nice if it was that simple, fighting the Japanese is not just about boxing and kicking."

I thought about it for a while: "You can't let down the good intentions of others and dampen their determination to resist the war. How about this, when I go to Ningbo, you will be in charge of these people, select some smart and reliable ones, and carry out Special agent training. The rest will be organized into the armed rangers and assigned to various guerrillas, let them play some role."

"understood."

Wu Jingyi responded: "Zhang Renkui is still very good to you. He sent out the quack post, and now the gangs, large and small, basically know that you and Zhang Renkui are brothers who are sworn brothers. He is the old man, and you are the young man."

"The world is changing rapidly." Meng Shaoyuan smiled wryly: "When I first arrived in Shanghai, I really didn't pay attention to these people from the Jianghu. I thought they were nothing more than a group of hooligans, and even had conflicts with Du Yuesheng. But now, Who would have thought that I would suddenly become a young master and a member of a gang? How could this be reasonable?"

"It's still useful." Wu Jingyi said calmly: "The gang members are relatively scattered, and it's okay to use them for small things, but if you use them to deal with the Japanese, they may be taken advantage of by the Japanese. But we can't reuse them. You can't let these people be used by the Japanese, just like the Zodiac Society, your status as a little master is still quite deterrent."

"If I didn't think so, I wouldn't be so polite to the old man." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "When I come back to Ningbo this time, I must hold a martial arts conference."

"What? Martial Arts Conference?" Wu Jingyi was taken aback.

"That's right, the martial arts conference." Meng Shaoyuan blinked his eyes and said, "I have clarified my identity and status in the world. From now on, whoever cooperates with the Japanese is called a traitor from a large perspective. From a small perspective, it is a violation." Breaking the rules of the world and breaking the family rules, I will deal with them again, it is justified, and I don’t have to worry about people spreading bad things about me behind my back.”

"Well, it's feasible." Wu Jingyi nodded: "But that day, it's best to invite Zhang Renkui out and let him sit in charge in person. No one dares to make irresponsible remarks against you."

"It's done, I'll talk about it when I come back." Meng Shaoyuan cheered up: "I told Cai Xuefei and the others that I went to Ningbo to cooperate with the Ningbo Military Command, and I don't want them to worry about me at this time, so don't worry about me." It broke."

"I know."

Wu Jingyi hesitated for a moment and then asked: "You are the director of the Shanghai Special Office of the Military Command. What task is so important that you should be transferred to Ningbo in such a hurry? Ah, I know that asking such a question is not in line with discipline."

"If you really want to know, I can tell you. Anyway, the whole country will know soon." Meng Shaoyuan took a deep breath: "I am going to assist the Chinese Air Force to do an earth-shattering event!"

Wu Jingyi became even more confused.

Chinese Air Force?

In the Battle of Songhu, the Chinese Air Force almost lost all casualties
Where is the Chinese Air Force?

Earth-shattering event?
Wu Jingyi was at a loss.

"Listen carefully to me."

Meng Shaoyuan said word by word:
"Our air force wants to bomb Japan!"
