In late April, Chiang Kai-shek, who had reached a preliminary agreement with the Red Party, issued a general mobilization and relocation order, and also began to inspect the preparations for each army and the troops.

From Xiaguan to Caishitou outside Jinling City, there were crowds of people and cars and ships. The eight-kilometer-long pier along the Yangtze River were all in a state of emergency.

A large number of machinery and equipment, precious antique gold and silver, and various other raw materials dismantled from various regions of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were continuously loaded onto large and small freighters and started to be transported to the Sichuan and Sichuan area.

The landlords, compradors and bourgeoisie in major towns such as Shencheng and Jinling seemed to have smelled the smoke of war and began to relocate their families, either going west to inland areas such as Hunan and Jiangxi, or moving into concessions, and who had the conditions simply chose to go abroad.

The patrol speedboat flying the flag of the National Government was viewed along the river. On a hundred-ton gunboat cruising in the river, Wu Siren, who was appointed as the removal director of Jinling by Chiang Kai-shek, picked up a telescope and observed the movements of the busy docks. At the same time, he whispered various orders to the adjutant from time to time, making the general in charge of the Tax Police Corps standing beside him very nervous.

In order to successfully complete the relocation tasks of important departments such as schools, factories, hospitals, etc., Wu Sairen transferred more than 10,000 people from the first and second groups of the Tax Police Corps.

In just a few days, hundreds of factories, schools, hospitals and other departments set out to western regions such as Hunan, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Sichuan and Qinling Mountains to avoid the impact of war.

However, the large-scale panic caused by this has also quickly expanded to the whole country. Officials of embassies and consulates in China were stunned and annoyed by the sudden large-scale relocation of the Chinese government. Especially in Japan, they even angrily denounced China's relocation actions and inappropriateness, which was unscrupulous and malicious speculation and slander of the well-willed and peaceful Japanese government. In response, Wu Siren was interviewed by reporters from various countries and explained in a evasive manner: "This westward migration is a need for economic strategic layout. In order to better regulate and develop people's livelihood, the government launched the western development plan. The westward migration is only part of this plan. It is not a deliberate war threat from certain countries. At the same time, we hope that people with insight from the business circles of various countries can invest in the west."

Wu Siren's shamelessness was shocked even the Japanese government, who was not sure what it was. The great powers also sighed from the bottom of their hearts: There are such shameless people in the world.

So, no matter how much we scolded, no matter how much we made, this large-scale strategic migration was still in full swing without any impact.

As the main person in charge of the relocation, Wu Siren recruited almost all civil ships in the Yangtze River Basin to invest in it, and troops were sent to conduct escort inspections in key areas along the river.

In the past half a month, Wu Siren has traveled all the docks between Shencheng and Jingkou, sorted out all the relationships, and then returned to Jinling to take charge of command. This has also prevented the blind and chaotic migration phenomenon in history from reappearing, but he has also offended many interest groups and individuals because of this incident.

Although Li Delin, Bai Jiansheng and Chen Cixiu repeatedly requested to transfer Wu Siren to the General Staff of the Military Commission to jointly formulate an overall strategic plan, Chiang Kai-shek, who understood the interests of it, never agreed. Chiang Kai-shek had already regarded Wu Siren as his trump card.

Not only did Chiang Kai-shek not agree, but Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Liao, Vice Chairman of the Military Commission Feng Huanzhang and other veterans of the State Government who participated in the westward migration organization did not agree. In their minds, such a large-scale strategic relocation and such complex and huge affairs, except for Wu Siren and the disciplined tax police group he led, no one or any group has such talent and reassuring efficiency.

In a word, Chen Huanzhang and the other patriotic elders could not trust others, and were afraid of being jailed and taking advantage of others' danger.

Wu Siren, who was standing next to the side of the gunboat, was in a very heavy mood at this moment. Looking at the people who were dragging their children and were at a loss in front of him, he felt very guilty. A sense of powerlessness lingered in his heart for a long time and could not be gone. Wu Siren knew very well that when he was directing this strategic relocation that was nicknamed "Century Migration" by the Western media, the sky in the north was already covered with clouds and the war was about to break out.

"Commander, Mr. Hu Shizhi, on behalf of the Pingjin University Federation, called the command center and asked us that the army would be sent to escort teachers and students of various universities and the Palace Museum's materials to the rear west. At the same time, he would like to ask the commander to give priority to the transportation of teachers, students and teaching equipment of various universities in Pingjin to Tanzhou as much as possible. It is of great importance. My subordinates did not reply immediately, and they would have to ask the commander to decide everything." Chen Ziliang reported in a low voice.

Wu Siren frowned and asked in a cold voice: "Where is Song Mingxuan? What is he doing for?"

"Song Mingxuan is said to be negotiating with the Japanese, and he does not believe in the Chairman's determination to fight against the war." Chen Ziliang sarcastically.

Wu Sairen glared at her eyes and said in great anger: "Chief Staff Chen, you should immediately return to the garrison and mobilize the Third and Fourth Regiments to go north to personally direct the relocation of teachers and students from various universities in Pingjin. At the same time, tell the left-behind Sun Liren that he is ready to pick you up at any time."

Chen Ziliang looked at the migrant crowd in front of him with concern, sighed and asked, "What if Song Mingxuan obstructed him? He is afraid of wolves in front of him and tigers in the back. He has long lost the courage to fight against the Great Wall. I am afraid that he is afraid of offending the Japanese and makes things difficult for us."

Wu Siren glared at Chen Ziliang and said, "What are the guys in your hands doing? You dare to block the government's westward movement and shoot on the spot. Song Mingxuan likes to be servile to Japanese people, but he can let him do it. I am not afraid to recruit them first if I provoke us... Chief of Staff, you send me a message to Hu Shizhi for me, and I said that Wu Siren agreed to their request, and I will definitely ensure that the teachers and students of universities in Pingjin are safe."

Wu Siren doesn't like Hu Shizhi, a literary master who always says that the moon is rounder than his hometown, but now this guy is the top publicist "big v" in the national government. Wu Siren is unwilling to go against the trend and fight him. After all, this guy has too many fans, and maybe he will use this person in the future, so just keep silent in many things.

"Yes! Husband will definitely complete the task."

Chen Ziliang's expression was refreshed, and he quickly walked off the deck and leaned towards the shore on another small boat.

For nearly half a month, the tension in North China has been affecting the nerves of all Chinese people. At the beginning of the month, professors and principals of major universities who were still swearing that they would never evacuate Pingjin. They believed that Japan would never dare to use force, changed their appearance in the continuous sound of artillery artillery and gunfire of the Japanese army. They finally completely gave up their dreams of peace and quickly united, preparing to evacuate before the war broke out and head south through the Pinghan Railway.

Sadly, the southward retreat of Pingjin University not only did not receive Song Mingxuan's support and help, but also obstructed it because he was afraid that the evacuation at this time would annoy the Japanese and affect the peaceful negotiations with Japan.

Sure enough, Song Mingxuan, the former hero of the War of Resistance, had transformed into a coward who bullyed the weak and feared the strong. As soon as Chen Ziliang led his troops into the territory of Jizhou, he chose to let the teachers and students of colleges and universities go. Perhaps he was indeed annoyed by Wu Siren's behavior, and he did not send troops to escort and help these teachers and students of colleges and universities. It was Chen Mingren who personally negotiated that he allowed the Tax Police General League to send a car team to help these teachers and students transport teaching equipment and books.
