Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

92 Training, Loans, Stockpiling of Food

By the time Ye Qingshan led his troops to retreat to Nanjing, it was already late November.

The remnants of the Nationalist Army withdrawing from the front line could be seen everywhere in Jinling.

"Stop, which unit are you from?"

Before Ye Qingshan's team approached the city of Nanjing, they were stopped by the National Army's military police in the Tangshan area.

Most of the Kuomintang troops that were defeated from the front line were stopped at Jiuhua Mountain and Tangshan and reorganized on the spot.

Ye Qingshan asked someone to report his unit number and his name.

"Oh, it's Brigade Commander Ye,

The city defense headquarters has ordered that all withdrawn troops must be reorganized outside the city.

However, your troops do not need to be reorganized here.

We can continue to withdraw to Qilin Gate and station there."

A major officer in the gendarmerie, who used to be arrogant and domineering.

Now, his attitude towards Ye Qingshan has become much more respectful.

The other party obviously gave Ye Qingshan a back door because of his reputation.

Otherwise, with Ye Qingshan's temporary 36th Brigade, a ragtag brigade, they would not be qualified to withdraw to Qilin Gate for garrison.

Like other remnants of the National Army, they must be reorganized on the spot in Jiuhua Mountain.

"Go to Qilin Gate."

Ye Qingshan gave orders for the troops to continue advancing.

At this time, the Japanese troops had not yet attacked Jinling.

The order is still there. Ye Qingshan has led his troops here and must now obey the arrangements of the city defense headquarters.

At this time, some high-ranking generals of the National Army in Jinling City even believed that the Japanese army would probably not attack Jinling so soon.

To be honest, the Nationalist army fought fiercely in the Battle of Shanghai.

However, the intensity of their resistance was far beyond the expectations of the Japanese high-ranking officials.

The Japanese high-ranking officials who had previously clamored to destroy the Flower-Growing Family in three months no longer dared to say so after this battle.

The Japs also need to rest and replenish their weapons and ammunition.

According to intelligence, the Japanese high-level officials did show signs of stopping the attack.

Therefore, the Jinling City Defense Command did not formulate an effective plan to defend Jinling.

The atmosphere in Jinling as a whole is not very tense.

"Hey!"

Ye Qingshan also sighed when he saw this situation.

Only he knew that the Japanese army would soon attack us.

The Japanese high-ranking officials did intend to slow down the attack on Nanjing, but at this time the Japanese middle and lower-level officers were all extremely fanatical.

Even if the Japanese high-ranking officers want to slow down, these middle and lower-level officers will not give them this opportunity.

Soon, the Japanese Third Division, which is the most active in attacking Jinling City, will take the lead in attacking Jinling.

This eventually forced the Japanese high-ranking officials to accept and continue their offensive against Nanjing.

Ye Qingshan knew that he had less than half a month left in Jinling to prepare for the war.

He has a lot to do.

Fortunately, he had already made some arrangements in advance when he was in Shanghai.

“You are stationed here and reorganize all the soldiers as soon as possible.

Let them form combat effectiveness as soon as possible."

When they arrived at the garrison at Qilin Gate, Ye Qingshan instructed officers including Zhou Pingkou to stay here to train the troops.

At this time, Ye Qingshan's temporary 36th Brigade had more than people.

But the soldiers came from different national army units.

They were forcibly integrated together by Ye Qingshan on the way of retreat.

But the coordination between them was a mess.

Ye Qingshan needs them to complete the most basic training before the Japanese attack.

Fortunately, many of these soldiers are veterans, not rookies. They only need some time to quickly integrate and improve their combat effectiveness.

Ye Qingshan led his guard company into Jinling City.

After entering the city, Ye Qingshan first went to Citibank, following Joseph's introduction when he left the French Concession.

Come here to find a bank manager named James,

"You must be Colonel Ye. I have received a greeting from Mr. Joseph in advance.

Please follow me."

When James saw Ye Qingshan, he knew why he came.

He was taken directly into the bank.

"Colonel Ye, based on your situation, our bank can provide you with a loan of up to two million US dollars.

The interest rate is two percent."

James took out the loan application form and said to Ye Qingshan.

That’s right, this time Ye Qingshan came to Citibank to discuss loan business.

Ye Qingshan needs money now, but the penicillin factory has not started production yet.

In the short term, it is impossible to provide Ye Qingshan with any benefits.

Ye Qingshan had no choice but to take out a loan.

Fortunately, Joseph knew Ye Qingshan's situation.

After knowing that Ye Qingshan wanted to take out a loan, they contacted Citibank and were willing to act as a guarantee for Ye Qingshan.

In this way, Ye Qingshan can borrow money from Citibank at a low interest rate without any collateral.

"can."

Ye Qingshan was a little surprised to hear that he could borrow two million US dollars.

This amount was more than he expected.

Two million US dollars in this era is already a huge sum of money.

Soon, the loan application procedures were completed.

“How soon can I get the money?”

Ye Qingshan asked the bank manager before leaving.

“A day later, the funds will be in your bank account.”

"Ah."

Ye Qingshan was also satisfied with this time.

After finishing all this, Ye Qingshan came to a company called "Tianle" in the city according to the address Uncle Lin gave him.

"You are the Second Young Master,"

This is the industrial company opened by the Ye family in Jinling City, which is mainly involved in the grain business.

After Ye Qingshan arrived, a fat company manager came out and recognized Ye Qingshan.

"From today on, all the company's grain will not be sold."

Ye Qingshan spoke directly to the company manager.

After Ye Qingshan arrived in Jinling, he first got money and then food.

"Yes, Second Young Master, I'll listen to you.

A few days ago, the master sent us a telegram asking us to stop selling grain."

"Ah."

After hearing this, Ye Qingshan knew that it must be Uncle Lin who told Ye Dakang that he needed food.

In this regard, Ye Dakang obviously chose to support.

This made Ye Qingshan feel more favorable towards this "strange" father.

Both Uncle Lin and this "father" whom he had never met helped Ye Qingshan in the fight against the Japanese.

Always very positive.

For this, the Ye family even paid a considerable price.

"Send a batch of food to the base of my subordinates at Qilin Gate."

Then, Ye Qingshan instructed the manager to send a batch of food to his troops first.

Ye Qingshan and his men retreated all the way back and had already eaten up all the food.

When we arrived in Nanjing, we didn't know when the food allocated from above would be delivered.

Ye Qingshan couldn't let his men starve, so he sent them a batch of food as an emergency response.

After finishing all this, it was already midnight.

Ye Qingshan stayed in the city and rested in a house of the Ye family.

Late at night, Ye Qingshan was awake. He sat at the table and took out a stack of documents from his suitcase.

I found some weapon blueprints and started looking at them.

"We need to make these weapons as soon as possible, and then we can give the Japanese a little surprise."

Ye Qingshan's eyes flashed coldly.
