Chapter 467: Nanjing Wharf
Today's weather is a bit gloomy, and it looks like it's going to rain.
Xiao Xinghua received a call early in the morning and came to Meng Shaoyuan's house to help him shave his head and trim his face.
From the eyelids, to the chin, cheeks, and behind the ears, there is nothing missing, and the face is shaved clean.
Then there is the most comfortable jump knife.
Xiaoxinghua's craftsmanship, I don't have to say anything.
There was a pat on the shoulder, which meant to wake yourself up.
Sitting up straight, Xiao Xinghua put hair wax on Meng Shaoyuan's hair and combed it carefully.
"Boss Meng, take a look, are you still satisfied?"
"Okay, okay." Meng Shaoyuan looked at himself in the mirror, his face was white and clean, and his waxed hair was not messy at all: "I'm in Shanghai, and the one who helped me shave my head is also from northern Jiangsu, and the shaving business in Shanghai and Nanjing has been monopolized by you." ”
"Boss Meng, we craftsmen, rely on this to eat. Back then, carrying dozens of catties of rice, I walked all the way to Nanjing, worshiped a master, started as an apprentice, washed rice, cooked and cleaned, and helped my wife wash underwear. Now it's finally good, and I have my own small shop, at least, I can support my wife and children. ”
Meng Shaoyuan smiled, opened the drawer, and took out a roll of ocean from it: "It's for you." ”
Fifty oceans.
Xiao Xinghua was frightened: "Boss Meng, don't look for me to be happy, where can I use so much money?" ”
"Take it." Meng Shaoyuan put Dayang in the toolbox: "I'm leaving Nanjing, I don't know if I can meet again." Xiao Xinghua, now go to your hometown in northern Jiangsu, there may be a chance to run. Take your wife and children, leave in the afternoon, don't stay in Nanjing. These oceans are reserved for your later life. ”
Xiao Xinghua was stunned: "I know the Japanese are coming, but I'm really reluctant to leave here?" ”
"Don't be reluctant." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "Your craftsmanship is good, I like you to shave my head, take the money, go to the countryside to hide for a few years, and when the Anti-Japanese War is won, you and I are alive, and you still come to Nanjing to help me shave my head." ”
"Spicy Piece His Mother's Oriental Ghost!" Xiao Xinghua's hometown scolded out: "A good life, but you have to fight!" ”
After speaking, he also let out a long sigh and bowed deeply to this Meng Shaoyuan: "Boss Meng, you are a good person, thank you, in the future, I will help you shave your head, no money!" ”
Xiao Xinghua was moved and left with emotion.
When I left, my eyes were red.
Meng Shaoyuan put on a tie in front of the mirror, put on an overcoat, and put on a top hat. With him, he carried a Browning and two magazines.
A suitcase that had been prepared long ago was placed there.
There was a soft knock on the door.
"Director Meng, we've arrived."
Gan Ning, Ma Dai, Xu Zhu!
And Song Deng and Pan Baolai were already waiting at the dock.
Each of the three young men carried a suitcase.
What is placed inside is the same as the contents of Meng Shao's original suitcase:
Submachine guns and bullets!
Meng Shaoyuan walked to the door, put the suitcase on the ground, and carefully locked the door.
Can the lock stop the Japanese soldiers?
Of course not.
But Meng Shaoyuan still locked the door.
Home, always home.
He picked up his suitcase: "Let's go." ”
In the sky, a few drops of rain fell.
A platoon of gendarmes appeared.
Han Binghai saluted Meng Shaoyuan.
Meng Shaoyuan nodded at him.
Neither of them spoke.
……
The docks were full of people.
All of them wanted to leave Nanjing, but Tang Shengzhi had already ordered that no one was allowed to leave Nanjing.
He wanted to trap the soldiers and civilians of Nanjing in this city.
Everyone was frightened, desperately asking if there was anyone they knew and if there was a way.
On the other side, more than three hundred people gathered there.
One by one, they dragged their families with mouths, big bags and small bags.
These were the merchants of Nanjing and their families.
Song Deng and Pan Baolai have already arrived.
I can't get over it at all.
Song Deng suddenly pointed ahead:
"It's coming!"
……
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
The gendarmes avoided the crowd and cleared a way for Meng Shaoyuan.
"Director Meng!"
Song Deng and Pan Baolai greeted them: "The people from the Chamber of Commerce have arrived, just waiting for you." ”
"Didn't fall?"
"Probably gone."
"Meng, Meng."
Daniel finally squeezed in: "Why are there so many people? Oh my God, I've been in touch with Captain Schiller, and the Cumbrian Breaking Waves is ready to board at any time. ”
"Good!" Meng Shaoyuan came to the merchant with his group.
As soon as Meng Shaoyuan finally appeared, everyone seemed to see the backbone.
Zeng Jianping hurriedly stepped forward and shook hands with Meng Shaoyuan: "Director Meng, it's great that you can come, there are a total of three hundred and sixteen people, and there are three hundred and fourteen people." ”
"What about the other two?"
"My son was lost on the road, and when my father went back to look for it, I didn't care, I didn't care, it was too late, it was their own life."
"Good!" Meng Shao originally froze: "Han Binghai, send someone to stay and defend, no one is allowed to approach here, you take a squad of people to negotiate with me at the dock." ”
……
Lieutenant Colonel Kang Liang's voice was a little hoarse.
took the document handed by Meng Shaoyuan, looked at it, and returned it to Meng Shaoyuan: "Say, what's the matter?" ”
A spy of the military commander? And a leader?
"My ship is parked there, the Cumbria Breaking Waves." Meng Shaoyuan immediately said: "I want to get on the boat immediately." ”
Although there is an order that no one is allowed to leave, they are military commanders.
And that ship was still a British cargo ship.
Kang Liang didn't want to offend these spies and make trouble for himself: "Okay, let's go." ”
"I'm not alone, there are people behind me."
"How many?"
"Three hundred and fourteen."
"How much?" Kang Liang's eyes widened: "Section Chief Meng, are you joking with me?" Just a few of you got on the boat, I just didn't see more than 300 people on the boat? No way. ”
"This is a special pass issued by Commander Xiao." Meng Shaoyuan immediately took out the special pass and handed it to Kang Liang.
Good guy, Commander Xiao personally signed it?
What's the origin of this spy?
Kang Liang checked it carefully and confirmed that it was correct.
The special pass is real, but it's three hundred and fourteen people after all.
"Section Chief Meng, didn't you say that one pass can take so many people, right?" Kang Liang is still loyal: "In case it is traced afterwards, who will bear this responsibility!" ”
"The British Empire takes on this responsibility!"
At this time, it was Daniel's turn to step up, and he said in stiff Chinese: "I am Sinclair of the British Empire......"
Fuck, this guy is bad enough, don't say his real name, who is recruiting Sinclair in Shanghai?
"This is a letter of guarantee issued by Mr. Ambassador Judkan of the Embassy of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Nanjing." It would be a huge challenge for Daniel to get such a long and complex sentence out in its entirety: "If there is any problem with the guarantee for these businessmen in the future, it will be the responsibility of Sinclair himself, the British Embassy." ”
Kang Liang took the so-called "letter of guarantee" and opened it, it was full of foreign languages, who could understand it? But at the bottom is Ambassador Judgan's signature, as well as a large bright red seal.
That should be true?
Actually, it was a fart guarantee, just a document written by Ambassador Judgan to prove Daniel's identity. Pursue responsibility in the future? Who to go after after you?
"Kang Liang."
"Han Binghai!"
As soon as he saw Han Binghai coming up from behind, Kang Liang was stunned: "Why did you come here too?" ”
"Commander Xiao asked me to come." Han Binghai pulled Kang Liang aside: "I brought a platoon, Commander Xiao's guard unit, and I was ordered to obey Meng Shaoyuan's dispatch. ”
"Huh? Commander Xiao gave him all his guard troops? What is the origin of this person? ”
"You don't care what it is, it's not easy anyway. Who is Commander Xiao, do you know how easily he will help others with this? Will you easily give someone a special pass? Hurry up, let it go, something happened, there is a military commander, Commander Xiao, and the British, no matter what, it won't be your turn, why bother to offend so many people? ”
Kang Liang thought for a while and returned to Meng Shaoyuan: "I was ordered to guard here, no one is allowed to pass, this point is not negotiable, you are not allowed to pass alone." I'm going to patrol somewhere else now, and you're going to stay here for me. ”
As he spoke, he actually left with his hands behind his back.
Clever, promising.
In the future, if it is investigated, it will be a crime of desertion at most.
The commanders did so, and the soldiers who defended this dock all faced the sky.
looks like it's not about itself.
"Quick, let the people of the Chamber of Commerce get on the boat immediately!"
……
"Please, sir, take my daughter away, take my daughter away. She is only sixteen years old, and we will never forget your kindness for the rest of our lives. ”
A well-dressed couple begged with their daughter, and the wife even knelt down for Meng Shaoyuan.
People began to board the docks, and soon many people poured here, but they were all blocked by heavily armed soldiers, and the couple did not know how they got in.
Forget it, it doesn't hurt to have one more.
Meng Shaoyuan waved his hand: "Let her in." ”
"I'm not leaving, I'm with you." The girl cried.
"Let's go, let's go, Mom and Dad have something to do in Nanjing, I will definitely come to you, definitely." We remember the ship. Remember, your cousin is in Wuhan, go to Wuhan to find your cousin. ”
Meng Shao originally wanted to let the couple get on the boat, but when he took the little girl, he was immediately called over by Daniel.
……
"Quick, quick, ship, ship is leaving!"
The father and son rushed to the dock like crazy, but were immediately stopped by the soldiers.
"Boat, we're going to get on the boat, I'm from the Chamber of Commerce."
"Pass!"
The soldier said with a blank face.
"I'm from the Chamber of Commerce, I'm really from the Chamber of Commerce."
Father wailed.
My boat!
……
Human destiny is so wonderful.
A girl gets on the boat, and her fate changes.
A father and son could have gotten on the boat, but because the son was scattered, the father went to look for him, but he didn't catch the boat.
Their fate was also changed.
"Woo"!
From the docks, there was a long whistle of the "Cumbrian Breaking Waves" leaving the docks.
