Chapter 13 Resettlement of the Back Road
"What's the big deal? With so much money, your father is really generous! I just knew that your family was doing business in Hangzhou for a living, but I didn't expect it to be so generous, it seems that your father's business in Hangzhou is not small! He Feng also had a little understanding of Ning Zhiheng's situation before. But I didn't expect his family background to be so good, it seems that my understanding of this student is still much worse.
"Teacher, you have a wide range of contacts, I wonder if you have any trustworthy friends in Chongqing?" Ning Zhiheng asked.
"Chongqing? Think about it. He Feng saw that Ning Zhiheng did not answer his question directly, but turned to an irrelevant topic, thought for a while and said: "Shen Haocheng, the commander of the Thirteenth Division and the Fifth Regiment stationed in Chongqing now, is my long-time friend, and he saved my life during the Battle of Quhe, and he is definitely a trustworthy brother!" What you said is related to Chongqing? ”
Ning Zhiheng was very happy when he heard it, the teacher He Feng was born in the Baoding department, and he had been fighting for half his life, and there were countless comrades-in-arms who fought side by side. That's why you have a lot of energy in the military.
He Feng doesn't like to boast, he naturally remembers that others saved his life after many years of fighting, but he also saved a lot of other people's lives, and the Shen Haocheng in his mouth was also saved by him back then, but he never mentioned half a sentence.
"That's great! Teacher, my father wants to transfer the family's industry and business to Chongqing, but now we don't know the situation in Chongqing, so I want you to help you and find a trustworthy friend in Chongqing to help you. Ning Zhiheng said.
He Feng didn't speak for a long time after listening, one hand was on the handle of the chair, and his fingers tapped gently.
"Zhiheng, you're here to be a stepping stone, right? It seems that your father is not an ordinary businessman, and there are not many businessmen who can have such a keen sense of the current situation! He Feng said meaningfully.
"Oh, the teacher seems to feel the same way, so there are also actions in the top levels of the government?" Ning Zhiheng asked in some surprise.
He knew that the most arduous war of resistance against Japanese aggression in Chinese history would break out next year, and his hometown of Hangzhou was the closest metropolis to Shanghai, and it was also one of the fastest cities to be captured by the Japanese army.
Even after the fall of Nanjing, the national capital, hundreds of thousands of compatriots were slaughtered by the extermination of humanity.
He must not see his family under the iron hooves of the Japanese army, and with the madness of the Japanese, any kind of tragedy will happen. In particular, families with anti-Japanese soldiers at home are not spared.
Therefore, the first thing in his plan was to relocate his relatives and even friends to the safe rear before the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
He relied on the information of his previous life, but he still underestimated the elites in this era.
From the occupation of the Northeast in the 20th year of the Republic of China in the 918 Incident to the 21st year of the Republic of China, the Japanese army attacked Shanghai and garrisoned the army.
In fact, people of insight have a consensus, that is, there must be a war between China and Japan, and it is only a matter of time.
The national capital Nanjing is too close to Shanghai, once the war breaks out, the Japanese army will attack from Shanghai, and it will be able to reach the city of Nanjing in a very short time.
Whether it is soldier training or military equipment, Japan's is far superior to China's, and has even reached the level of semi-mechanization. Not to mention the fact that there is also the construction of the air force and navy, which China cannot compare.
Therefore, the top level of the Kuomintang has long been preparing for the relocation of the capital. The difference is that optimistic people think that Wuhan is the best choice, pessimistic people choose Changsha, and conservative people choose Chongqing, or even CD. In short, the more you go up the Yangtze River, the more west you go, the safer it is.
As the backbone of the Baoding Department in the army, He Feng is even more sensitive and accurate in his grasp of the current situation.
In fact, there are already many well-informed high-level people buying real estate and shops in Wuhan and Changsha, and even Chongqing has begun to see a rise in land prices, but it is relatively hidden.
He Feng was also undecided at this time, and Nanjing was no longer a place to stay for a long time. But he has been up and down for half his life, but he has not saved much savings.
You can't buy real estate in multiple cities in the rear like many high-ranking officials to meet your needs in the future.
"Why not Wuhan or Changsha? Both of these cities are used as alternate options to accompany the capital. The business is developed, the transportation is convenient, and the prosperity is no less than Nanjing. He Feng was actually a little embarrassed, the matter was not in front of him, and no one could accurately predict the final result.
"Teacher, it is precisely because these two cities are metropolises with convenient transportation and developed commerce. Once the war starts, it becomes a fatal heel. The convenience of transportation is beneficial to the Japanese army, and it will concentrate its forces on it more quickly. The commercial development of these two cities shows that these two cities are influential metropolises in China. This is the best option both in a military sense and in the sense of deterring and destroying national resistance.
However, Chongqing is different, Chongqing's geographical location is special, surrounded by mountains, the Yangtze River and the Jialing River, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, in particular, is a natural barrier where Japan's army and navy are useless.
What's more, it's far enough! It is located in the west, and has enough strategic depth with the Japanese army, which has lengthened the supply line of the Japanese army to the greatest extent, and I can definitely say that Chongqing is the most likely to become the accompanying capital! ”
Ning Zhiheng talked eloquently, and He Feng could see that he was extremely confident in his judgment. After a long time, He Feng sighed lightly: "Zhiheng, during this time, you have given me too many surprises. I didn't expect that the young boy who looked like yesterday would suddenly grow up.
To be honest, even I can't be sure where a war will end up if it breaks out.
Even yesterday someone discussed this matter with me, in fact, the principal had considered it a few years ago, taking advantage of the opportunity to exterminate the Red Party to intervene in Sichuan, and finally forced Liu Xiang to give up Chongqing and retreat to CD last year. ”
"The storm is coming, teacher, we have nothing to serve on the battlefield as soldiers, but we also have family members, it's time to arrange their future life!" Ning Zhiheng saw that He Feng was also moved, and hurriedly persuaded him.
"What you said is right, but your father's decision to move his family and give up the situation of Hangzhou's long-term operation is indeed a bold one!" He Feng sincerely admired Ning Zhiheng's father, but he might not be able to make such a big determination.
Ning Zhiheng smiled secretly, his father Ning Liangcai knew in his memory, but he had no political vision, to say that he was still a good hand in business, it was impossible to predict the changes in the future situation.
He just borrowed his father's name to cover up the source of this fund, anyway, the teacher and his father had never seen each other before, so let his father carry the pot for himself!
"Then the teacher might as well listen to me once, if the war happens, no matter how far it goes, in terms of safety, Chongqing is definitely the safest, isn't the safety of the family the most important in this troubled world?" Ning Zhiheng foresaw the development of future wars.
At the beginning of the war, the Japanese army was sharp. Wuhan was the first to fall, and soon after, Changsha, which was originally in the rear, became the front line of the Anti-Japanese War. After seven years of hard work, during which he experienced many battles, both soldiers and civilians suffered extremely heavy casualties, and finally it was still difficult to escape the fall, and the most regrettable thing is that that year turned out to be the last year of the War of Resistance against Japan.
He Feng couldn't help nodding, Ning Zhiheng was right, even if the war did not develop to the worst point, but Chongqing, as an important town in the west, was the safest to settle a small family.
"Teacher, it's better to be sooner rather than later, I'm afraid that someone with a heart will already start to arrange the way back. Take advantage of the fact that the land price in Chongqing is not high now, hurry up and buy a large number of land and shops, if there is a day when the capital is moved to Chongqing, it will definitely earn a lot of income, at least the second half of the family can be worry-free! Ning Zhiheng said while the iron was hot.
He Feng himself is a strong man, but when it comes to relatives, his heart is the softest, and the best way to impress him is to play the family card.
"Now the situation in Chongqing is also complicated, the Central Army has just occupied it for less than a year, and the local Jianghu robe brother is not small, and the public security situation is worrying, your Ning family wants to find a military backer for this reason?" He Feng asked.
It doesn't matter what you do in this world now, and it is impossible to do things without a background. Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat dried shrimp, even if you go to the street to ask for food, you have to report to the group to keep warm. What's more, Sichuan has always been a warlord scuffle, and the underworld forces in the rivers and lakes are intertwined. Chongqing is no exception, and the situation is even more serious.
If the Ning family goes to Chongqing to live two lives and is targeted, what can a businessman do at that time, and if he is not careful, he will be empty of people and money, which is definitely very likely to happen. Therefore, Ning Zhiheng just wants to borrow the teacher to find a reliable relationship and shelter in the local area, so that the safety of the whole family can be guaranteed.
"Teacher Mingjian, Chongqing is still too new to us. For such a big thing, my father made this decision with a lot of determination. The money will be handed over to the teacher to run the business, and he said that the property and shop he purchased, thirty percent of them are to thank you and your friends, please be sure to help with this. Ning Zhiheng continued.
He knew that He Feng had many friends and connections in the army, but he didn't have much savings, and this was a good opportunity to tie the two teachers and students closer together.
He is rich, He Feng is powerful, and the strong alliance will definitely be able to earn a lot of industry in Chongqing. The family can also be well accommodated, which is totally a win-win.
He Feng is indeed moved, he is not a pedantic person, he will still go through the back door to find relationships for the sake of relatives and friends. Just like this time, for the sake of Ning Zhiheng, a disciple, he left him in Nanjing.
In fact, he didn't think about this aspect, but he really didn't have any money in his hand, so he didn't take action. Besides, this matter is not very difficult for him, Shen Haocheng is his best friend, and entrusting him with the affairs of the Ning family is not a problem at all, so why not do it!
