Chapter 39 On the 39th day, I pulled him personally, and Du Yuesheng took refuge in the apartment

Just when Du Yuesheng was destroying his family, participating in the war of resistance, supporting the front line, selling public debt, and forming a new army, he was full of energy, but the Japanese military leaders, spy minds, pro-Japanese people, and traitors who were ready to lick blood and fish in troubled waters Still figured out a way to find a free time to threaten and lure Du Yuesheng.They entangled in every possible way, tried every means, and at all costs, wanted to pull Long Du Yuesheng, so as to use his deep power in Shanghai to help them occupy Shanghai as soon as possible, and thoroughly and effectively rule and use Shanghai, which is full of gold.

Winning over Du Yuesheng, who is devoted to fighting against the Japanese, sounds like a fool's dream at first glance. Seeking skins from tigers is like an unreasonable joke.But if you analyze it carefully, the strong wind starts at the end of the day, and everything that happens must have its background and cause.The Japanese invaded China, like mercury pouring down the ground, penetrating everywhere. There is Du Yuesheng who has all roads and all roads on the beach. The secret service agency of the Ministry of the Navy even listed out the budget every month to do Du Yuesheng's work, sent people to spy on, follow up and investigate, listed Du Yuesheng's contacts and living conditions as a special case, often analyzed and judged, and submitted reports to the superiors. As a reference for Du Yuesheng.

Japan's foreign aggression is divided into three factions. Literati and politicians believe that China should start with economic aggression, and then grasp all human and material resources and a huge market.The navy felt that China was already in Japan's pocket, and there was no need to waste its troops and provoke war. They advocated marching to Southeast Asia and the United States, and believed that the Japanese army should be used exclusively to deal with the Soviet Union.The Army, centered on young soldiers and the Kwantung Army, insisted on solving China's problems first, obtaining vast manpower and material resources, and serving as the basis for global aggression.

Therefore, the Japanese navy is not keen on provoking a war between China and Japan.On the eve of the Anti-Japanese War, Nagano, the commander of the Japanese Navy, passed through Shanghai when he returned to Japan from Geneva. He was accompanied by an interpreter and the Japanese Consul General in Shanghai, and visited Du Yuesheng on Huagebei Road in the French Concession. At that time, Du Yuesheng was very surprised, because the Japanese admiral came to see him to discuss business.Yong Ye Xiushen praised Du Yuesheng's "long talent" in finance, industry and commerce, and said "confidentially": "With Mr. Du's reputation and talent, he should let go to do big business."

Du Yuesheng said thankfully: "Firstly, my vision is high and my ability is low, so I am not the material to run a big business. Second, doing a big business requires a lot of capital. I don't have the ability." Therefore, Nagano Xiushen immediately put forward a practical plan, which is enough to make people doubtful and full of surprises. He said: "The Japanese side is going to invest 30 million yen to open a "China-Japan Construction Bank Company" with Mr. Du. ’, the reason why we do this is to snatch the business of the ‘China Construction Bank Corporation’ run by Song Ziwen.”

Yong Ye's self-cultivation proposal is extremely bold, but it is also very realistic. He described a beautiful vision for Du Yuesheng: Shanghai has the Japanese Navy's organs, and the garrison is also the Marine Corps. Central China and South China belong to the navy. The Japanese naval ships and marines, together with overseas Chinese businessmen and ronin under their command, combined with Du Yuesheng's extensive popularity in Shanghai and deep potential, don't say that "China Construction Bank" is not to be feared. They can even control the resources and trade of the entire central and southern China. In terms of making a fortune, this opportunity is really unprecedented.

Even though Yong Ye's self-cultivation was eloquent, and Du Yuesheng knew that he was sincere and what he said was true, but he always maintained a polite attitude, smiled slightly, and listened attentively.When Yongye Xiushen finished all the words, Du Yuesheng had to reply, but he frowned slightly, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I am a common Chinese citizen with no money and power. Minister Nagano is flattering me too much." Therefore, Yongye Xiushen hastened to declare that what he said was from the bottom of his heart, and hoped that Du Yuesheng would not evade his prayers and say a few polite words in a perfunctory manner.In this way, wouldn't he live up to his sincerity?

Forced to have a showdown, Du Yuesheng had no choice but to say: "It's a bit out of the system for a Chinese citizen to start a joint venture with a foreign government agency." Unexpectedly, even this statement could not make Yong Yexiu retreat, because he also had a second plan that was very accommodating to Du Yuesheng, that is, Du Yuesheng himself would come forward to form a large-scale bank company, and the required funds would be All are provided by the Japanese side, and the operating methods of the banking company and the secret support of the Japanese Navy are all handled according to what was just said.

Du Yuesheng had no excuses at all, so he had to feign a shot to avoid this matter for the time being. He said: "This is a big event. Please give me a period of time, Minister Nagano, and allow me to think about it in detail." A few days later, he sent someone to visit the military attache of the Japanese Navy and asked him to tell Nagano Shoushen: "I am very grateful for the previous talk, but because of the nationalism of the country, I did not dare to follow my orders. If I am sorry, I pray for forgiveness." Since the August 13th Shanghai War started, the Japanese secret agents tried every means to persuade Du Yuesheng, and even pestered him endlessly. People come forward.The Japanese seem to have made up their minds to let Du Yuesheng stay in Shanghai and help them rule the largest city in China that is about to fall.

However, they underestimated Du Yuesheng's patriotic enthusiasm, and overestimated Du Yuesheng's love for the big Shanghai where he lives and works. They thought that Du Yuesheng would never leave his base——Shanghai, and they were reluctant to give up what he had in Shanghai. Huge" business. More importantly, according to intelligence data, the Japanese showed that Du Yuesheng was in financial difficulties and had a lot of debts. In August 1937, he owed various banks and private individuals more than 3 million yuan. Therefore, the Japanese firmly believed in Du Yuesheng's judgment that he "absolutely can't leave", and at the same time worked hard in many ways to lobby Du Yuesheng to vote for the sun.Due to the failure of lobbying by many second-class characters, Hachiro Bannishi, an important figure in the Japanese Kwantung Army who once served as an adviser to Zhang Zuolin, unexpectedly visited Du Yu by Gao Xuan.

Banxi visited Du Yuesheng several times in a row. Taking advantage of his lofty status and great influence in the Japanese military headquarters, he promised Du Yuesheng and others that once the imperial army finished occupying Shanghai, he would give Du Yuesheng many important political and economic benefits. At first, Du Yuesheng and Banxi Libalang made false claims, avoiding direct answers in everything, gradually, Du Yuesheng's Taijiquan became more and more irrelevant, so Banxi left angrily. The lure failed, followed by coercion, and then Banxi kept visiting the door, the handsome Kenji Doihara in casual clothes.This vanguard of the Japanese invasion of China was ruthless and murderous. He was the founder of Japanese secret agents. It won't be long before there will be a major disaster.In North China, the name Doihara has the power to stop children from crying at night.Doihara, nicknamed the Lawrence of Asia, was the head of the Japanese Secret Service in the Northeast and the head of the 5th Division Brigade. When the Sino-Japanese War broke out in July 1937, he was promoted to the head of the Japanese headquarters of the Secret Service. His rank was lieutenant general. The lieutenant general followed the Shanghai War and went south. In view of the failure of Banxi Rihachiro's soft skills, he played the role of a big face in front of Du Yuesheng. As soon as Doihara entered the door, he pointed out at the beginning that Du Yuesheng had no possibility of leaving Shanghai. He said aggressively: "Even if it is possible, he will definitely not allow it. He will make every effort to cut off Du Yuesheng's way out of Shanghai and dispel his desire to travel far away." Attempts, therefore, he states: Mr. Du, since you have lost all hope of leaving Shanghai, you should fully and fully cooperate with the imperial army. " In addition, Doihara was aggressive, sternly accusing Du Yuesheng of spending money and energy, running around and shouting, and so enthusiastically and sincerely, forgetting to sleep and eat to support the national government, encouraging the national army to fight against the imperial army, causing heavy casualties to the imperial army.He said threateningly: "If Mr. Du refuses to serve the imperial army, we will list your hostile actions against the imperial army and punish you accordingly." Facing such a domineering and unreasonable Doihara, Du Yuesheng was furious but had nothing to do with him.Du Yuesheng lives in the French Concession, and Doihara has the right to come and go as if there is no one else around; moreover, he is the secret service minister of the Japanese headquarters, cunning, cunning, and unpredictable. Captured and killed. In order to make it easier for the anti-Japanese activists to communicate, Du Yuesheng once met the guests in Mrs. Yao Yulan's boudoir at No. 16 Lafeifang, Lafayette Road.On the afternoon of the second day when Doihara visited Du Yuesheng to talk nonsense, Du Yuesheng was having a secret conversation with his disciple Xu Maotang. Feeling irritable, Yao Yulan stepped into the living room, and said crisply and melodiously, but said: "It's so strange today, why is this plane spinning directly above our heads!" In a word, Du Yuesheng's thoughts suddenly came to mind, he frowned, and listened carefully——the more he listened, the more wrong he became, Du Yuesheng jumped up vigorously, rushed out the door, and when he reached the courtyard, he shaded the sun with his hands, looked up He raised his face and looked towards the sky. It wasn't that there was an Dongyang military plane painted with red plaster near the Lafeifang Du mansion, circled and circled, and only circled back in the overhead space.Du Yuesheng's face suddenly changed. Could it be that Doihara's big words are so hot that he really wants to fulfill them? The big thing is not good, Du Yuesheng was full of panic and worry, turned around and hurried back to the living room, sat down on the sofa, his eyes were straight, he ignored everyone, and sat on the chair from time to time, lost in thought. Xu Maotang had just heard that Doihara was uttering wild words and threatening words; now he understood why Du Yuesheng suddenly went to the courtyard to watch the plane, and his expression changed drastically after seeing it.Then he called out in a low voice: "Sir, sir!" "Huh?" Du Yuesheng seemed to be awakened suddenly by him, looked at Xu Maotang, and asked blankly: "What's the matter?" "Sir, Doihara is nothing more than showing off his prestige," Xu Maotang hurriedly said, "It means that he can mobilize the plane and fly here for a few circles, with the intention of scaring us." Yao Yulan interrupted and said: "Maybe they're really here for reconnaissance. Ever since the Zhabei Jiangwan battle started, there's been a lot of traffic at our gate every day, with dignitaries coming in and out." Du Yuesheng still didn't say a word, just looked at Yao Yulan and made a wordless wry smile. The living room was quiet for a while, the plane was still circling, and the three of them were thinking deeply, silent.Finally, Xu Maotang had an idea, clapped his hands together, and shouted happily: "Sir, I have a good way to deal with them!" Du Yuesheng looked at him and said: "Let's talk and listen." "Sir, recently I bought an apartment on Pushi Road, an 18-story bungalow. The location is moderate, and the house is very elegant. Why don't you move there, sir and wife, to avoid people's eyes and eyes, and to come to the 18th floor An apartment house on the first floor, and my husband lives in the middle, so even if the Japanese plane comes again, you won’t be able to tell what’s going on.” Du Yuesheng thought about it, the idea was really good, she asked Yao Yulan, she said she had no opinion, so she decided to move as soon as she said, Yao Yulan moved from Lafeisui Road to Chushi Road, and lived in an apartment on the 18th floor After a long time, people in Shanghai changed their name to her "18th-floor wife".
