There is a famine in Henan.

Decades later, because of a movie, many people knew about the Henan famine in 1942, but I am afraid that few people know that this famine actually started in the summer of 1941 and lasted until the spring of 1943. A year and a half.According to the records and evaluation of a certain foreign journalist Bai Xiude, during this period, it is said that 300 to 500 million people died of starvation in Henan, while the population of Henan at that time was only 1000 million.In other words, during this famine, nearly half of the population of Henan was starved to death.Not only that, besides nearly half starved to death, about 300 million people fled and left their homes, all the way to Shaanxi, Gansu and the west.In other words, during this great famine, the population of Henan was ten to seven or eight!

Qin Wei also wanted to go to see that movie at that time, but he listened to the advice of his friend, namely Gu Changjun.Gu Changjun told him about that movie: Terrible!After reading it, I couldn’t write the novel for several days in a row, and delayed paying the rent.So he didn't go.

However, he had read some excerpts on the Internet, and as a result, he expressed his gratitude to Gu Changjun in his heart for the first time.

Cold and hopeless!

That's how that segment made him feel.

……

"There is nothing left, and I will drink the northwest wind if I leave."

"You let me ask for my life, sell me." [

"A life is worth two biscuits."

"Dead early and reincarnate early, don't reincarnate to this place again in the next life."

"The Japanese are so vicious, they actually distributed food to the victims."

"One, you go to persuade the Japanese and tell them not to attack Henan. Second, you go to persuade the chairman to withdraw my army to the west of Tongguan. I won't eat a grain of Henan's grain every single soldier."

"If two people were to starve to death at the same time, one victim would starve to death, and the place is still in China. If all the soldiers starved to death, we would perish."

"The death toll, the 'government' puts it at 62.

——Really?

— 300 million people. "

……

In the clip, when Li Peiji, the first "chairman" of Henan played by Li Xuejian, reported the disaster to Chiang Kai-shek played by Chen Daoming, his whole body was full of exhaustion and despair. At that time.Qin Wei felt that he was a good official.The few good officials in the Kuomintang are at least much better than the cold-blooded Jiang Dingwen who was "one" when he starved to death of the victims, and became "the capital" when he starved to death as a soldier.But actually?Qin Wei wished he could arrest Li Peiji and cut him alive.

"Jiang Dingwen came to report and report the disaster situation in Henan; Li Jiayu of the 36th Army also went to Chongqing to report to the Ministry of Defense of the disaster situation in Henan... But what is Li Peiji doing? He is the chief executive of the local government. How can he be more stupid than a soldier?"

Zeng Jiayan's official residence, Lao Jiang's office.

For the first time, Qin Wei lost his temper in front of everyone.He even threw the report brought by Chen Guofu directly on Lao Jiang's desk.Fortunately, Lao Jiang was no longer behind the desk at this time, otherwise this would definitely be a big incident of despising the leader.However, even so, everyone still found it difficult to accept Qin Wei's anger.

"Which year will China not be hit by a disaster? The disaster in Henan will be over." Seeing that Lao Jiang's face was not very good, He Yingqin hurriedly persuaded him.

"It's over after the support?" Qin Wei sneered, "Mr. He, you don't trust your soldiers so much? Their reports are not very 'good', right?" [

"The disaster cannot be reported casually. If the local "government" does not report, the army's report is valid." He Yingqin replied.

"Yes! It's not your old man who is starving." Qin Wei snorted coldly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? That's not what I meant." He Yingqin was also a little angry. He didn't understand why Qin Wei was so angry. Isn't it just a drought?As he said, when has China not suffered a disaster?But don't you live your life the same way?The local "government" concealed the disaster.This is also human nature.Anyway, if there is no relief, why bother the superiors?Maybe it will be judged as capable by the superiors.

"If it doesn't mean this, what does it mean? I don't understand. Are the people in Henan not under the rule of the national government?" Qin Wei asked.

"You can't say that." Chen Guofu said, "No matter which province the people are, they are all under the rule of the national government. But I also don't understand. This is just a small disaster. Is it worth losing your temper like this?"

"A minor disaster?" Qin Wei gave him a cold look, "You say this is a minor disaster?"

"Didn't Henan say it? It's a small disaster. It's not a big deal. The provincial government is already preparing to start relief." Chen Guofu said.

"In the middle of this year, when the Japanese attacked the United States, a drought began to appear in Henan. Today, the harvests in various places have been greatly reduced. A small disaster?" Qin Wei said: "The common people have started to eat grass roots and bark, and the "governments" at all levels in Henan still haven't stopped collecting various taxes from them! This is their relief? Huh?"

"Without taxes, what does the 'government' eat? What do soldiers eat? Henan is the front line." Chen Cheng said in a deep voice.

"The common people have started to eat grass roots and bark, so what kind of taxes can they pay? Chen Cixiu, do you dare to take what you just said to Henan and tell the ordinary people who were affected by the disaster?" Qin Wei asked back.

"you……"

"Whether the disaster in Henan is as serious as you said depends on the report of the local 'government'." Chiang Kai-shek said negatively, "After all, we have to trust the local 'government'. Otherwise, what else do they need?"

"Trust the local 'government', right? Well, I've invited someone over from Guizhou." Qin Wei stared at Lao Jiang, and then looked at his watch: "It should be here soon. Wait for him to come, let him How about explaining it to you and everyone present with professional knowledge?"

"What are you doing in Guizhou about the matter in Henan?" He Yingqin frowned, "Guizhou has not suffered any disaster."

"I'm talking about the 'professionals' from Guizhou! I didn't say Guizhou was hit by a disaster!" Qin Wei gave him a rude look.

"What kind of professional? The chairman can meet with anyone he wants? This has to go through procedures." Chen Guofu frowned.

"Procedure? What procedure? If you don't see this person, the 'government' will not pay enough attention to the disaster situation in Henan, causing a larger-scale famine... Are you Chen Zutao responsible?" Qin Wei stared at him again and asked.

"...Then you should at least tell me who it is?" Chen Guofu felt a little guilty under his gaze, so he had to change the subject.

"Don't worry, he came with Dai Yunong, and there is absolutely no danger." Qin Wei replied, "However, if you still treat the disaster in Henan with the attitude and tone just now, it will arouse that gentleman's temper and cause What physical conflicts, I do not guarantee the safety of everyone."

"Let's see each other, and we won't waste too much time." Kong Xiangxi didn't intervene all this time, but now that everyone, especially Qin Wei, had eased up, he stood up and said to Lao Jiang .

"Okay, let me see who you found." Lao Jiang stared at Qin Wei for a long time, then nodded heavily, and sat down behind the desk again: "But let's not talk about Henan, you are secretly what the hell?"

"Me?" Kong Xiangxi looked at Lao Jiang pointing his finger in surprise, "What the hell can I do?"

"I heard that you are planning to plot against Song Ziwen behind your back?" Lao Jiang lowered his head and raised his eyelids to look at the two of them, "Song Ziwen is currently in the United States, working for the country, and you are dragging his hind legs behind his back like this. Is it too much?"

"Chairman..."

"Let me talk about it." Qin Wei cut off Kong Xiangxi's words, "Chairman, almost everyone here knows our previous plan...and you also approved of this plan."

"I'm not talking about a plan." Lao Jiang snorted softly, "Although Song Ziwen made a mistake, he got a loan for the "government" no matter what. And he is still in the United States, and he is planning to negotiate with the "government" of the United States. 』Further contact...you are playing tricks behind your back at this time, are you worthy of the party and state?"

"Okay, since you said that, then I have a question." Qin Wei knew that Lao Jiang was dissatisfied because of his "concern" for the famine in Henan.In the eyes of these people, a little local famine is nothing at all.In fact, since the founding of the Republic of China, neither the Beiyang "government" nor the national "government" seems to have really provided relief for local famines. Even if there was relief, it was mostly to deal with outside public opinion.Warlords separatist regime.Since the local government does not listen to the central government, why does the central government care about the local disaster situation?And this "habit" has continued, even in the period when the National Government has basically unified China.Moreover, he is too concerned about the famine in Henan, which in Lao Jiang's view has exceeded his authority!Lao Jiang took this kind of thing very seriously.He Yingqin didn't dare to bring this matter up, let alone him as an outsider?Furthermore, the disaster in Henan has only just begun, and few people have realized that this will be a rare catastrophe, so the violent reaction to him is naturally unacceptable.Among them, Lao Jiang was the most important.So, when he got the chance, Lao Jiang, who had always been cautious, started to get angry at him, and in order to avoid people saying that he was deliberately targeting himself, he also brought Kong Xiangxi along.But Qin Wei knew that Old Jiang would be furious at best, and would not really do anything to him and Kong Xiangxi.Because what Song Ziwen did this time is really annoying:

"I heard that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sent a questioning message to the United States. I don't know how Song Ziwen responded?"

"...What does this have to do with your matter?" Lao Jiang's face darkened again.Song Ziwen did reply, and the answer was very detailed, not only detailed, but also worried about the country and the people, so that he could not get angry... The reason why he wanted to get the loan immediately was to help northern Shaanxi!This is the answer of Uncle Guo, the dignified president of the Four Alliances and the financial power of the national government.Because northern Shaanxi has been hit by disasters for more than two years!And the disaster is still going on, with no intention of stopping.But the "government" simply can't come up with money, so, for the sake of northern Shaanxi, and to help Lao Jiang recover the "Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region" that has been messed up by the Communist Party, he disrupted It violated the original plan of the national "government" and asked the United States for a "small amount" of loans first.No matter what, it is important to save people first. ... In the final analysis, another famine!
