With Zhu Qinglan's guidance, Zhao Zhenzhong and Li Yuntian met with Hebei Provincial Chairman Xu Yongchang very smoothly.

Xu Yongchang, this is a well-known figure that Zhao Zhenzhong knew in the world before. He was born in the National Army system but was able to rely on Yan Xishan and trusted him with great confidence. As a general in the Jinsui Army system, he was valued by Chiang Kai-shek and became the four giants in the Military Commission of the National Government during the War of Resistance Against Japan. He knew the overall situation, knew advance and retreat, had both moral integrity and ability, and was strict in ethics.

A model of Chinese soldiers. Later, Xu Yongchang was remembered in history because he accepted Japan's surrender on behalf of the Chinese government on the Missouri ship. In July 1959, after Xu Yongchang passed away in Taipei, the elegiac couplet sent by Yan Xishan vividly expressed his life's past: "He serves loyal people and disciplines himself strictly, leads his subordinates to the Tongfeng, and the old generals built a coffin to change their flags; his achievements are profound and he sees far, and he is famous internationally. He has great wishes on board the ship and receives surrender."

Before Zhao Zhenzhong and others went to visit, Xu Yongchang was worried about future events in his official residence. Xu Yongchang has been replacing Shang Zhen as the chairman of Hebei Province for just half a year since he replaced Shang Zhen as the chairman of Hebei Province. However, what he was worried about was not the provincial affairs of Hebei Province, but the increasingly tense situation between Nanjing and Taiyuan. Since the twelfth lunar month last year, Shanxi has gathered all over the Guangxi clique, representatives of Wang Jingwei and other figures, desperately encouraging Yan Laoxi to step forward and oppose Chiang. Although

When Xu Yongchang returned to Shanxi in the twelfth lunar month, he repeatedly reminded Yan Xishan not to underestimate Chiang Kai-shek and not to stand up easily, but Yan Xishan's ambitions had been aroused. In addition, after the Nanjing party organized a meeting, especially after defeating the Guizhou clan, Feng Yuxiang's tribe, and Tang Shengzhi's tribe, he became more and more aggressive. Yan Xishan was already on the verge of an arrow. Now he was arguing with Chiang Kai-shek's telegram, and the situation became increasingly tense, and the war was likely to happen. At that time, I was afraid that the common people would suffer.

When Xu Yongchang learned that Zhu Qinglan was coming to visit, he calmed down and met three people in the reception room.

"Mr. Zhu, what else do you need my help?"

"Chichen, that's right, Mr. Zhao has a large amount of grain to help the victims in Suiyuan, Gansu, Shaanxi and Shanxi. However, transporting from Tianjin Wharf to Suiyuan by railway is not an easy task. Not only is the carriage not easy to dispatch, but even the bandits in the mountainous areas along the way may come out to rob them after getting the news. This time, Mayor Cui and Commander Fu of Tianjin dispatched the carriage and sent troops to escort them, but this kind of thing cannot always be bothered. You, the head of Hebei, have to solve it." Zhu Qinglan had dealt with Xu Yongchang a lot in order to help the victims, and did not make many courtesy conspiracies, and directly raised the difficulties of himself and others.

"The grain must be loaded from Tianjin to transport, and the specific dispatch and escort matters must be solved from the source. However, I can find a way to transfer more car bags to Tianjin and provide a battalion of troops for escort food." Xu Yongchang said, "In addition, I have told the matter in Hebei that I can still use it, but I can't interfere with Suiyuan. It requires the decision of Chairman Li Peiji or Chief Yan. Mr. Zhu and Chief Yan are also familiar with him. It is better to see him once in Shanxi and tell the matter. I think Chief Yan will definitely support such good things as providing relief to the disaster victims."

"Yan Baichuan won't make things difficult for me, but now there are people in Yangqu with ulterior motives. In addition, I have troubled him several times, I'm afraid Yan Baichuan is not in the mood to see me now."

"Mr. Zhu and Chief Yan are both seniors of Xinhai. How could he not see you?" Xu Yongchang said, "Besides, Mr. Zhu is a living Bodhisattva who brought the gospel to the victims of Jin, Sui, Shaanxi and Gansu. Chief Yan must see Mr. Zhu even if he does not see others."

"Chichen, don't say it all nicely." Zhu Qingxian smiled bitterly, "With food, it can indeed allow a large number of victims to survive the next few months of being out of reach, I will also bother you and Yan Baichuan. Not to mention the large amount of supplies needed for spring plowing and planting after the beginning of spring, just say that clothes and salt are out of stock now. Maybe I have to go to all sides to beg for alms with a good face."

Looking at Zhu Qinglan's body that was gradually thinning for disaster relief, Xu Yongchang admired: "Mr. Zhu is devoted to the victims, and I admire him. However, there are many victims in Hebei that need relief, and I can't bring more supplies. So, I allocate 1,500 tons of salt from the salt farm in Tianjin to provide relief to the victims. I can't do anything else for the time being. Mr. Zhu's best bet on seeing Chief Yan. With Chief Yan's approval, many things can be much more convenient."

"Well, I'll go see Yan Baichuan again with a stigma."

Seeing Zhu and Xu and the other two had roughly agreed on material transportation matters. Zhao Zhenzhong said, "Chairman Xu, can you do it in addition to the things you promised Mr. Zhu just now? I want to build a new dock in Tianjin that can be docked with larger tonnage ships for material transportation. Mayor Cui from Tianjin has basically agreed. Can the train take some disaster victims to Tianjin when returning and rescue them by labor-for-relief? In addition, for orphans who still lack independent living ability, I want to try my best to take in some of them and take them back to Shandong for raising them."

"I have no problem here. But if a large number of disaster victims are relocated, we must do a good job of epidemic prevention to prevent some epidemics in the disaster area from spreading to other places." Xu Yongchang reminded, "However, if disaster victims are relocated from Suiyuan or Shanxi, it is best to get the approval of Chief Yan."

"There are probably not many orphans in some severely affected areas in Shaanxi." Zhu Qinglan sighed, "In the face of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the elderly and children are the most difficult to survive. In Fufeng County, Shaanxi, I personally saw two adult hungry people capturing a boy alive, killing and sharing food. When I and several disaster relief personnel arrived near, the child had been boiled in the boiling water in the pot. It was miserable!"

Zhu Qinglan's eyes were filled with tears, and Xu Yongchang, Zhao Zhenzhong and Li Yuntian also changed their faces.

"I'm not to be hiding Mr. Zhu, Chairman Xu, I'm also an orphan, so I've been thinking of taking in more orphans and refugees over the years, just to make the tragedy in this world less." Zhao Zhenzhong suppressed the turmoil in his heart and continued: "If Chief Yan can agree, that's good; if he doesn't agree, then I'll spend money to buy and save more orphans."

Zhu Qinglan lost his father when he was young and worked alone when he was young. Xu Yongchang lost all his relatives when he was 13 years old. Both of them had an unspeakable pain in their hearts and were concerned about helping orphans. After hearing Zhao Zhenzhong's words, Zhu Qinglan comforted him: "Mr. Zhao, don't be impulsive. With my relationship with Yan Baichuan, it is still possible to migrate some orphans and victims from the disaster area. At that time, I will use this old face to mourn Yan Baichuan again."

Xu Yongchang also said: "Mr. Zhao doesn't have to worry too much. I think Chief Yan will not make things difficult for you in such things as helping disaster victims and doing good deeds and accumulating virtues."

Zhao Zhenzhong sighed, "I hope this is the case." Then, he said to Xu Yongchang, "I have another question to ask Chairman Xu for help. In order to facilitate the transportation of grain in the disaster area, I transported some car parts from the United States and assembled some cars for supply. However, we, Sihai Industrial, have no one who can drive cars. Can Chairman Xu provide us with 30 qualified car drivers? We can pay wages."

"Mr. Zhao thought carefully. Cars are indeed a good tool for transporting materials in the disaster area and rescuing victims." Xu Yongchang nodded and said, "I can come forward to recruit 30 qualified drivers in Peking for you, but how much weight does your car carry?"

"These 30 cars are the latest products of the Dodge Company in the United States. Each car has a standard load capacity of 3.5 tons. However, if the road conditions are good, the load capacity of 4 tons will not be a problem."

"3.5 tons..." Xu Yongchang seemed to think of something, and became interested, and asked: "Has Mr. Zhao brought this kind of car to Peking? Can you take me to see it?"

Zhao Zhenzhong didn't know how Xu Yongchang cared about the car, so he said, "Of course there is no problem. They are all on the train."

"Okay, when you set off, I will go to the train station to see Mr. Zhu and take a look at the car Mr. Zhao mentioned." Xu Yongchang decided.

...

After lunch that day, Zhu Qinglan, Zhao Zhenzhong, Li Yuntian and Xu Yongchang came to the train station with 30 car drivers found from Peking City. Tang Mufen brought Rao Fenghuang, Cha Liangzhao and others to the train station.

"President Zhu, let Rao and Cha lead the team to the disaster area with you this time. I will find a way to raise some cloth in Peking and then send it to you." Seeing Zhu Qinglan, Tang Mufen stepped forward and explained.

"Just arrange it," Zhu Qinglan said, "But I'm afraid they have to take people to Suiyuan first. Mr. Zhao and I will go to Shanxi and Yan Baichuan first to tell him about the disaster relief matters, and also see if we can make a difference from him."

Xu Yongchang pulled Zhao Zhenzhong to see the 30 brand new trucks and asked about the relevant performance from time to time. After understanding the situation, Xu Yongchang asked: "Mr. Zhao, what is the price of this kind of car?"

"When I bought it in the United States, it was about $600. I don't know the price in the country."

"The performance of the Dodge trucks sold in Shanghai is not as good as this, and the price is as high as 2,200 oceans. How could this kind of car be more than 200 oceans expensive?" Zhu Qinglan said on the side.

"Cars are indeed good, but the price is a bit high." Xu Yongchang sighed.

"If Chairman Xu needs it, I can give you a few cars." Zhao Zhenzhong said.

"A gentleman does not take away the beauty of others." Xu Yongchang shook his head and said, "Besides, your cars are used to transport food after they arrive in the disaster area. I can't ask for them. However, if Mr. Zhao can still transport such cars from the United States later, I can find a way to buy some at the price in the United States."

"Fortune can be brought, but it will take two months later." Zhao Zhenzhong calculated.

"It's the first month now, and it shouldn't be too late in two months." Xu Yongchang said.

"If Chairman Xu has urgent needs, you might as well use these cars after they have transported the disaster relief food and settled it after the new cars arrive. Or I will deal with these cars cheaply for you." Zhao Zhen's center had already guessed the reason why Xu Yongchang wanted to get such a car, so he suggested.

"Forget it for the time being." Xu Yongchang said after thinking about it, "It's a considerable amount of money to buy so many cars. Let's wait until the discussion is made."
