"The last time."
Meng Shaoyuan murmured there.
"What's the last time?" Wu Jingyi didn't understand.
Meng Shaoyuan smiled but did not answer.
The last time.
Before the fall of the public settlement, it was his last battle with the Japanese and puppets.
Just now, Tian Qi had reported to himself the new developments of the Japanese.
Japan is following the plan and implementing it steadily step by step.
What he has to do is to do his best to delay and destroy the enemy's plan before the concession falls.
after?
After that, Meng Shaoyuan didn't know what would happen.
"Shao Yuan, do you want to call all the captains for a meeting to unify their thoughts?"
After Wu Jingyi made this suggestion, Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while and shook his head: "There is no need to unify our minds. We have had many meetings before. There is no need to keep repeating it, which can easily lead to rebellious psychology.
On the contrary, it is the business people in Shanghai who worry me the most. Since the fall of Shanghai, they have been living on an isolated island. The vast majority of them have a strong sense of justice and are true Chinese.
In the past, we have always protected them in the concession, but once the situation changes, it will be difficult for us to provide them with effective protection. Your job during this period is to do ideological work with them one by one. "
"clear."
Once the public concession falls, the activities of the military commanders will be greatly restricted and they will be in a very passive and dangerous situation.
The same goes for patriotic businessmen.
Meng Shaoyuan checked the time: "Okay, I have something to do in the afternoon."
…
Meng Shao originally went to Fan Yuan.
The old man had bad health and was bedridden some time ago. All the famous doctors in Shanghai were invited to come over.
In the past two days, I heard that I could get up again.
When entering Fan Garden, the old man was sunbathing in the yard.
"Coming."
With half-squinted eyes, he already knew who was coming without even looking.
"coming."
Meng Shaoyuan sat down next to Zhang Renkui without being greeted.
"The sun is shining warmly on me, it feels so comfortable." Zhang Renkui slowly rocked the recliner: "But, the sky in Shanghai is probably going to change, right?"
The old man never leaves home, but there is nothing that can be hidden from him about what happened in Shanghai.
"It's going to change, but the sky is still the same." Meng Shaoyuan grabbed an apple, picked up a knife and peeled it: "Brother, I will arrange for someone to take you to Chongqing."
"What am I going to do there?" Zhang Renkui smiled: "I have lived in Shanghai for most of my life. I have long been used to it. I am used to it."
"Brother, it's going to be very dangerous here." Meng Shaoyuan decided to persuade him again: "You have been jealous of the Japanese all your life, and you have always been enemies of the Japanese. You even defeated them in the ring. The Japanese will definitely hate you and keep looking for trouble for you. of."
"I am already in my dying years and have only a few days to live." Zhang Renkui didn't care at all: "What can the Japanese do to me? Kill me, a sick old man, to show off their great martial arts? Okay, my old man just needs to pay back If I have a breath, I can still fight with little Japan!"
"Don't even leave, don't even leave!"
Meng Shaoyuan suddenly became irritable, slapped the fruit knife and apple on the stone table, and said angrily: "Sure, if none of you are willing to leave, then you will all die in Shanghai. I don't care, I don't care. !”
"Shaoyuan, you are anxious." Zhang Renkui said with a smile: "This is not like you. When people are anxious, they are easily impatient and prone to make mistakes in judgment. Everyone can make mistakes, but you can't. There are so many people , I have to rely on you."
Meng Shaoyuan stood there in a daze for a while, then suddenly sighed and picked up the knife and apple again: "Brother, I'm anxious. Many people don't want to leave and want to stay in Shanghai. There are so many people and I can't protect them. It really can’t be protected.”
"I know." Zhang Renkui said slowly: "I see what this means. Little Japan is about to take full control of the concession. Who does Little Japan hate the most? You. As soon as they enter the concession, they will definitely catch you all over the world.
Shao Yuan, don’t think about so many people, think more about yourself. Anyone can be caught, but you can’t. As long as you are alive, you are the biggest threat to the Japanese!
Shaoyuan, I am very satisfied that you came to see me this time. From now on, don't come to see me again. It is not safe here. Unidentified suspicious people have appeared near Fanyuan a few days ago. "
"Brother, you have to live well." Meng Shaoyuan said in a daze: "You are the last member of the Youth Gang."
"What?"
Zhang Renkui did not react: "The last Green Gang? My Green Gang..."
"Brother, listen to me." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "Yes, there are Green Gang disciples all over the world, but you are the last defender of the Green Gang spirit. In the future, there will continue to be Green Gang tycoons, but in the real sense. In the traditional sense The Youth Gang has ended with you."
Meng Shaoyuan seemed to be very touched today: "Brother, you know, I didn't think highly of the Green Gang in the past. I always thought it was just a group of hooligans. But after I got to know you, I saw a different Green Gang. Huang Huangrong can't do that You and Du Yuesheng can't do the same to you. If something happens to you, the real Qinggang will no longer exist."
"Isn't there still you?" Zhang Renkui sighed softly: "I have experienced the best era of the Qing Gang, and I have also experienced the worst era of the Qing Gang. I have read books and know that no matter how powerful the organization is, one day it will Decline. The spirit of the Youth Gang, the spirit of the Youth Gang...that's right!"
Zhang Renkui suddenly gained strength and raised his voice: "The Ten Commandments of the Qinggang! Since ancient times, sexual immorality has been the source of all evils, and filial piety has been the first priority in everything... Although there are many heroes in the gang, they are generous and righteous... The lowest ones steal, and the upper ones steal. It is a shame to insult our ancestors. We are all handsome men in our family, how can we honor such a scumbag!"
After reciting the Ten Commandments of the Qing Gang, he turned to Meng Shaoyuan: "Shaoyuan, you are not a member of my Qing Gang, but since you have sworn sworn vows with me, you are so senior and have a high status that no one in the Qing Gang can match you. Today, I will I leave the Qing Gang to you. The Qing Gang can be gone, but the spirit of the Qing Gang cannot be lost."
give it to me?
Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly.
The Ten Commandments of the Green Gang!
Just for the first one, I can’t do it myself.
Why should I inherit the spirit of the Youth Gang?
What's more, how many people are going back to follow now?
"Shao Yuan, I know that as long as you are here, the fire of our Youth Gang cannot be extinguished." After saying this, Zhang Renkui's expression became a little gloomy again: "Don't come again, you are the one who does big things, don't Here we go again. Old brother, I am satisfied and contented to have you as my brother."
Meng Shaoyuan stood up and silently bowed to Zhang Renkui:
"Brother, I'm going."
Zhang Renkui was lying on the recliner with a satisfied smile on his lips.
