Chapter 741 Going to Rehe

"I have basically settled the original disciples in the martial arts hall." Su Yi said to Gong Baosen, "I have selected a dozen or so people to stay and help me prepare for the new martial arts hall, including my adoptive father's eldest disciple Dong Dayou. For the rest of the people who want to find another way out, I have given them a sum of money. If they have a clear goal, I will help them if I can. For those who want to stay in the martial arts hall, I will have someone give the list to Master Shang later. You can choose and keep the suitable ones. If you are not suitable, send them to me again. I will continue to settle them."

"This matter is well handled." Gong Baosen nodded with satisfaction, "If Shan Ao knows about it in the afterlife, he will be very pleased."

Su Yi sighed: "Compared to what he has done for me, what do I do count for?"

Gong Baosen looked at the dejected Su Yi with flickering eyes.

After a brief silence, he said, "The matter is settled then. The second thing I want to talk to you about today is the inheritance performance match."

"The main purpose of setting up this link was the word inheritance. Originally, we eight old guys thought that we would randomly pick our favorite disciples from the top three and teach you a set of good skills in the form of a performance."

"But now, the second of the top three is a foreigner, and we can't just let foreigners learn what our ancestors have passed down." Gong Baosen said, "The third place Xiao Xizhi secretly left the hospital yesterday and disappeared, so this inheritance match... there is only you left, and it will be meaningless if it is held again."

Why did Xiao Xizhi run away?

Because Ma Liang suddenly disappeared, he became more and more scared the more he thought about it, so he pulled out the needle of the drip and ran away with his injured body overnight.

Why did he run away? Su Yi didn't want to do anything to him.

If his injury worsened and he died after running away, wouldn't the account be counted on Su Yi?

"So the seniors mean to cancel the inheritance exhibition match?" Su Yi frowned slightly.

Other things are fine, but if this match is really cancelled, what about his mission to defeat Gong Baosen?

He has a mission to defeat Gong Baosen.

Fortunately, the masters don't mean this.

"The open competition has been cancelled, but the old brothers are very interested in your martial arts and are happy to learn from you." Gong Baosen said, "So, we have unanimously decided to hold a closed inheritance competition. The purpose is to let you use your kung fu to work with us old guys and feel your martial arts that combines Chinese and Western elements."

"We all have no objections, but this matter cannot be done one-sidedly, so I come here on their behalf to ask for your opinion."

"It is a blessing that I can't get in several lifetimes to learn martial arts from all the senior masters. Of course, I would love it." Su Yi said, "The seniors will make the arrangements, and I will follow your instructions."

As long as there is still a chance to fight with Gong Baosen, it will be fine.

"No objection." Gong Baosen looked at him, "The time will be set in two months. If you have time by then and you have recovered from your injuries, you can come to Jinling. It may also be the Magic City."

"Jinling?" Su Yi was slightly startled.

"That's right, Jinling." Gong Baosen nodded. "The competition in Tianjin is over. The political situation in Jinling is treacherous. Although the National Martial Arts Museum has no intention of getting involved in political affairs, it is inevitably affected. For the development of national martial arts, not only do we who practice martial arts need to work hard, but we also need the support of the external environment and policies. Therefore, we have to go back and take charge in person to avoid any chaos."

"However, the Jingwu Association and the foreigners have been dirty again recently. It is possible that we will go to Shanghai to help the Jingwu Association. When you are ready to leave, you might as well send a telegram first. It is not certain whether it will be Jinling or Shanghai."

Su Yi nodded: "Okay, I will contact you first when the time comes."

The time is set for two months later, which is even more desirable for Su Yi. This means that he has two months to prepare, polish his martial arts, and find a way to defeat Gong Baosen.

After the business was finished, the two fell into a brief silence.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. Even Shang Yunxiang on the side felt this silent sense of alienation and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Gong Baosen had always been optimistic and partial to Geng Liangchen in the eyes of outsiders. He had always thought that the father and son had a good relationship.

But this situation... doesn't look like a good relationship?

"Take good care of your injuries." Gong Baosen stood up. "If you have any difficulties with the martial arts school, you can telegraph me at any time."

"Sure, sure." Su Yi hurriedly struggled to get up, but was stopped by Gong Baosen.

"Xiao Han, help me send Master Gong and Master Shang off."

"Okay!"

A ray of light flashed out from the door.

When Su Yi was the only one left in the room, Su Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Maybe it was because he killed Ma San, there was always something wrong between him and Gong Baosen...

This matter cannot be carefully considered.

"Weak" Su Yi jumped off the bed nimbly, walked to the cabinet on the side, and turned a vase on it.

There was a "click" sound of the spring popping open, and Su Yi pushed the cabinet and pushed it to turn!

This was a secret passage, leading to another secret room.

In the secret room, Su Yi's stand-in Wang Erniu was doing sit-ups to exercise. When he saw Su Yi, he immediately stopped, stood up breathlessly and greeted: "Master Geng."

Su Yi looked him up and down, smiled and nodded: "You have been training well recently, and your body shape is almost in shape."

Wang Erniu nodded a little stiffly: "I am still far behind you, Master Geng."

"When you've trained to my level, you still have to eat more." Su Yi said, "I heard Zhu Zhu say that your appetite isn't very good lately?"

Wang Erniu's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice: "I just think that I am enjoying a lot of money here, and my mother and the others don't know...I'm sorry, Master Geng, am I a little ungrateful?"

Looking at Wang Erniu, whose face was full of anxiety, Su Yi smiled and shook his head.

Just as he was about to speak, Yixiantian and Zhao Dezhu walked in hand in hand.

Only these two people knew about Wang Erniu's existence in Geng Mansion.

Su Yi said to Wang Erniu: "When I come back from this trip, I will give you a holiday and ask Zhuzi to accompany you home. You can stay with your family for a while."

"Is this possible, Master Geng?" Wang Erniu was surprised and happy, "Don't miss your important event!"

"That's it!" Su Yi waved his hand and looked at Zhao Dezhu, "I'll be here for as little as three days or as much as five days. You can make arrangements at home."

"Sure, don't worry, Master Geng!" Zhao Dezhu has a beard and looks much calmer. He now plays more of a butler role, and he does it very well. It seems like he was born to do this.

It was also Su Yi's luck to have such a housekeeper who made Su Yi completely at ease guarding the house.

"Put on your makeup and leave!" Su Yi looked towards the sky, "The day Hai Qing left, the war in Rehe had already begun. In just three days, Kailu, Beipiao, and Nanling had fallen one after another. Three hundred thousand Guo troops , was actually beaten by a combined force of only 100,000 puppet troops and the Kwantung Army, and was completely defeated. It’s really weird..."

After truly delving into this era, Su Yi was finally able to truly understand the humiliation of the Chinese people in this era, and how desperate and angry they felt.

In peacetime, Su Yi felt that it was the greatest shame that the national football team was beaten 5-1 by Siam's second team. He was so angry that he couldn't eat or sleep well for several days, and finally despaired of the national football team.

But this sense of shame is nothing compared to the pain and humiliation of this era when mountains and rivers are destroyed and compatriots are reduced to pigs and dogs!

An army of 300,000 soldiers lost their armor and was completely defeated in just three days. Is this just a matter of poor equipment and inability to fight?

no!

Cui Xing's Fifth Division of the 17th Cavalry Brigade of the Jehol Army found various reasons from the beginning not to resist, and did not allow other anti-Japanese troops to enter the city to rest and replenish supplies. They sat back and watched the friendly troops being bombarded by enemy aircraft and artillery in turn, causing heavy losses!

Then the thief used the excuse that the friendly forces were unable to attack, and led the entire brigade to escape to Lindong. The important town of Kailu fell to the enemy so easily!

On the other side, Shao Benliang, commander of the 58th Regiment of Dong Futing's Brigade, was bribed by the Zhepeng people and surrendered directly to the enemy on the front line, causing Nanling to fall.

Due to Tang Yulin's corrupt rule, the people of Beipiao hated him deeply. When the Zhepeng people came, the people in the city, led by officials and businessmen, lined the streets to welcome the Zhepeng people and held a very grand entrance ceremony. …

Just when the main force of Dong's brigade had to retreat to the defense line of Dapingfang in the western suburbs of Chaoyang, another battalion under his command temporarily rebelled, leading the enemy to penetrate deeper, causing Dong's brigade to suffer heavy casualties...

Three days!

In just three days, many soldiers died, some were injured, some fled, and some surrendered.

The 300,000 Northeastern Army vowed to avenge their past humiliation, but in the face of 100,000 puppet troops and the Kwantung Army, it ended like this as soon as the war started. It's shameful...

The Guofu authorities also felt humiliated, so they released the seven warriors early to hold the position and killed more than a hundred Japanese soldiers with touching stories of heroic sacrifice to appease the people and rectify public opinion.

The Seven Warriors are certainly worthy of praise, and even their enemies set up monuments in their honor to praise them.

But such a warrior should not have died so desperately and tragically.

Rather than saying that they were killed by the enemy, it is better to say that they were killed by Marshal Zhang, Tang Yulin and others.

At present, the Chinese people are still kept in the dark and still have illusions about the situation in Jehol.

But Su Yi knew the history. In four days, Sun Dianying's troops, who vowed to live and die with Chifeng, had to evacuate after seven days and nights of bloody battle, and Chifeng fell.

In the Battle of Rehe, most of the troops were defeated in one blow, but Sun Dianying's troops fought bloody battles with the enemy and displayed the ambition of the Guo army. This was the only bright spot in the disgraceful history of Sun Dianying, who later surrendered to Zhe Peng. .

After Tang Yulin heard about the fall of Chifeng, he was so frightened that he hurriedly mobilized a large number of vehicles and detained more than 200 military trucks that were supposed to transport weapons and supplies to frontline soldiers to load his private property and opium. The family confidants of the aunt and wife fled to Tianjin in a mighty manner.

He didn't even see the shadow of Zhe Peng's soldiers, so he ran away.

As a result, Zhepeng's advance force easily occupied Chengde, the capital of Rehe, with only 128 people. At this point, more than 3 million people in Rehe and 190,000 square kilometers of land were all lost to the Japanese pirates.

The 300,000 fruit troops who had vowed to protect the country and the people at the beginning lasted only ten days in total.

This battle can be called a bizarre battle in the history of world wars, and it is also a great shame in the history of China's Anti-Japanese War.

Afterwards, the young marshal called the whole country and "took the blame and resigned."

Tang Yulin was wanted by Guofu, but the warrant was later canceled because he "changed his past".

Of course, Tang Yulin did indeed refuse to serve in the puppet regime many times when he lived in seclusion in Jinmen, which was regarded as maintaining his last integrity.

The Jehol War has now entered its fourth day. In four more days, once Chifeng falls, the situation will be completely irreversible.

Su Yi's mission is to change the outcome of this war as an assassin.

To be honest, Su Yi is absolutely pessimistic about this task.

It can even be described as despair.

Even if you succeed in killing Muto Nobuyoshi, the highest commander of the Kwantung Army, will it work?

The Zhepeng people will still fight with a different commander.

There are many reasons for the defeat in Rehe, and killing Muto Nobuyoshi will not change anything. To exaggerate, even if Su Yi goes to Zhepeng and kills Emperor Zhepeng now, it may not change the outcome of this war.

Why did Rehe fall?

Tang Yulin was in charge of Rehe for eight years. He sold officials to grow tobacco, imposed heavy taxes, and the discipline of the army was corrupt. Corruption and empty salaries were rampant, resulting in the army having no combat effectiveness. The people of Rehe were boiling with resentment, and even looked forward to the arrival of the Japanese-Manchurian coalition.

The young marshal did not have the skills to do porcelain work, and his command was not good.

In addition, political, economic, international situation and other factors were all the reasons for the defeat in Rehe.

So did Su Yi's killing of Zhepeng's general commander work?

As long as the Zhepeng people did not give up the idea of ​​occupying Rehe, this failure was almost inevitable.

In this way, Su Yi's mission was almost doomed to fail.

Su Yi has no cost of failure. As long as he fails once, he will be eliminated!

Failure means death!

So Su Yi has no choice but to succeed.

He can only suppress his despair and rush forward first.

From this point of view, those martyrs and heroes who sacrificed their lives for the war of resistance may have the same state of mind.

For this country, even if he is desperate, he has no choice.

If I don't go to hell, who will?

Su Yi quickly made up into a very inconspicuous look, disguised as a follower of Yixiantian, followed him out of Geng Mansion without anyone noticing, and then joined Luo Yu outside.

An hour later, the three of them were on the train carrying military supplies to Rehe.

The train will not arrive until tomorrow, and this is on the premise that everything goes well.

In Tianjin, no one knew that Su Yi had quietly left. Under the media's revelations, the whole of Tianjin, and even the whole country, knew about the Taiyi Sect's magic medicine.

They all thought that Su Yi had taken the magic medicine eight days ago, and today he just entered a weak period and couldn't even get out of bed.

This point was also confirmed by Su Yi's three meetings today.

No one knew that Su Yi was actually forced to take the medicine on the day of the final.

If it weren't for the episode of Ota Tokusaburo, Su Yi even planned to take it in Rehe.

He concealed his whereabouts and hid his tracks just for the trip to Rehe.
