Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There is a famine in Henan.  . Decades later, many people knew about the Henan Massacre in 1942 because of a movie. However, I am afraid that few people knew that the massacre actually started in the summer of 1941 and lasted until the spring of 1943.  Over a year and a half.  According to the records and assessments of a certain foreign journalist Bai Xiude, it is said that 3 to 5 million people starved to death in Henan during this period, while the population of Henan at this time was only 10 million.  In other words, during this massacre, nearly half of Henan's population starved to death.  Not only that, in addition to nearly half of the people who starved to death, about 3 million people fled and left their homes to Shaanxi, Gansu and the west.  In other words, during this riot, Henan's population was reduced to seventy-eight out of ten!  Qin Wei also wanted to go see the movie at that time, but he listened to the advice of his friend, Gu Changjun.  Gu Changjun told him that movie: terrible!  After reading it for a while, I couldn't write the novel for several days, which delayed my rent payment.  So he didn't go.  However, he had read some excerpts on the Internet, and for the first time, he expressed his gratitude to Gu Changjun in his heart.  Cold and desperate!  This is how that clip made him feel.   "There is nothing left. If we leave, we will drink the northwest wind." "You let me survive and sell me." "One life is worth two biscuits." "If you die early, you will be reborn early, and you will have millions in the next life.  "Don't be sent to this place again." "The Japanese are so vicious. They actually distributed food to the victims." "First, you go and persuade the Japanese not to attack Henan. Second, you go and persuade the Chairman to give me food."  The army withdraws to the west of Tongguan. I will not eat a grain of grain in Henan. " "If two people starve to death at the same time, the place still belongs to China. If all the soldiers starve to death, we will.  The country will be destroyed.¡± ¡°The number of deaths, according to the government statistics, is 1,062 people. ¡ª¡ªThree million people.¡± In the clip, Li Peiji, the leader of Henan Province, played by Chen Daoming, was talking to Chiang Kai-shek.  When reporting the disaster, his whole body showed a kind of incomparable exhaustion and despair. At that time, Qin Wei felt that he was a good official, one of the few good officials in the country, at least better than the one who starved the victims to death.  "One", the cold-blooded Jiang Dingwen, who became "du" when he starved to death as a soldier, is much stronger.  But in reality?  Qin Wei wished he could catch Li Peiji and chop him alive.  "Jiang Dingwen came here to report the disaster situation in Henan; Li Jiayu of the 36th Group Army also went to Yucheng to see the Ministry of National Defense to report the disaster situation in Henan But what is Li Peiji doing? He is a local chief executive, how can he be more useless than a soldier?"  Zeng Jiayan's official residence, Chiang Kai-shek's office.  Qin Wei was furious in front of everyone for the first time.  He even smashed the report brought by Chen Guofu directly onto Lao Jiang's desk.  Fortunately, Chiang Kai-shek was no longer behind the desk at this time, otherwise this would definitely be a major incident of contempt for the leader.  However, even so, everyone still found it difficult to accept Qin Wei's anger.  "In what year will China not suffer from disasters? The disaster in Henan will be over with little help." He Yingqin saw that Chiang Kai-shek's face was not very good, so he hurriedly persuaded him.  "Is it enough to just hold on?" Qin Wei sneered, "Sir He, you don't believe your soldiers so much? Their reports are not very good, are they?" "Disasters cannot be reported casually, and the local government has no ax to grind  Report, the military report is invalid," He Yingqin replied.  "Yes! It's not your old man who is starving." Qin Wei snorted coldly.  "What nonsense are you talking about? That's not what I meant." He Yingqin was also a little angry. He didn't understand why Qin Wei had such a big fire. Wasn't it just a drought?  As he said, which year did China not suffer from disasters?  But shouldn¡¯t we still live our days as we should?  It is human nature for local governments to take measures to prevent disasters.  Why bother bothering your superiors if there is no relief anyway?  You might even be judged as incompetent by your superiors.  "What does it mean if it doesn't mean that? I don't understand. Are the people in Henan not the people under the rule of the National Government?" Qin Wei asked.  "You can't say that." Chen Guofu said, "No matter which province you live in, the people are all under the rule of the National Government. But I also don't understand. This is just a minor disaster. Is it worth losing your temper?" "  "A small disaster?" Qin Wei looked at him coldly, "You said it was a small disaster?" "Didn't Henan say it was a small disaster?"  Ax is already preparing to start relief," Chen Guofu said.  ¡°In the middle of this year, when the Japanese launched a sneak attack on the United States, attacks began to appear in Henan.Unfortunately, today, harvests in various places have been greatly reduced. In some places, the harvest has even stopped. Farmers have begun to eat grass roots and bark Is this a minor disaster in your eyes?  "Qin Weidao: "The common people have begun to eat grass roots and tree bark, and governments at all levels in Henan have still not stopped collecting various taxes from them!  Is this their relief?  Um?  " "Without taxes, what will the government do?  What do soldiers eat?  Henan is the front line.  "Chen Cheng said in a deep voice. "Common people have begun to eat grass roots and tree bark, so what taxes can they pay?  Chen Cixiu, do you dare to take what you just said to Henan and speak to the people affected by the disaster?  "Qin Wei asked back. "You" "Whether the disaster in Henan is as serious as you said depends on the report of the local government.  "Chiang Kai-shek said grimly, "After all, we have to trust the local government.  Otherwise, what else would they do?  " "You trust the local government, right?"  Well, I invited someone over from Guizhou.  Qin Wei stared at Lao Jiang closely, then looked at his watch: "It should be here soon."  How about waiting for him to come over and let him use his professional knowledge to explain it to you and everyone present?  " "What are you doing in Guizhou when it comes to Henan?  He Yingqin frowned, "Guizhou was not hit by disaster."  " "I'm talking about 'professionals' from Guizhou!  Didn¡¯t say Guizhou was hit by a disaster!  "Qin Wei glared at him rudely. "What kind of professional?  Can the chairman of the committee be seen by anyone he wants?  This has to go through a process.  "Chen Guofu frowned. "Procedure?  What program?  If this person is not seen, the government does not pay enough attention to the disaster in Henan, leading to a larger-scale famine Are you, Chen Zutao, responsible?  "Qin Wei stared at him again and asked. "Then you should at least tell me who he is, right?  Chen Guofu felt a little guilty when he saw him, so he had to change the subject. "Don't worry, he came with Dai Yunong, there is absolutely no danger."  Qin Wei replied, "But if you still treat the disaster in Henan with the same attitude and tone just now, which triggers the gentleman's temper and causes any physical conflicts, I cannot guarantee your safety."  " "Let's meet if we can, and we won't waste much time.  "Kong Xiangxi never interrupted. Now that he saw that the mood of everyone, especially Qin Wei, had eased, he stood up and said to Lao Jiang. "Okay, I'll see who you found.  "Lao Jiang stared at Qin Wei for a while, then nodded heavily, returned to his desk and sat down: "But let's not talk about Henan first, what are you doing secretly?  "    "I?  "Kong Xiangxi looked at Lao Jiang's finger pointing at him in surprise, "What the hell can I do?  " "I heard that you are plotting against Song Ziwen secretly?  "Lao Jiang lowered his head and raised his eyelids to glance at the two of them, "Song Ziwen is currently in the United States, working for the country. Isn't it too much for you to hold him back like this?  " "Chairman" " Let me tell you.  "Qin Wei cut off Kong Xiangxi's words, "Chairman, almost everyone present knows our previous plan and you also approved this plan." "I'm not talking about a plan.  "Lao Jiang snorted, "Although Song Ziwen made a mistake, he still found a loan for Zheng Ax anyway.  Moreover, he is still in the United States and is planning to have further contact with the American political ax Are you doing things behind the scenes at this time, worthy of the party and the country?  " "Well, since you said so, I also have a question.  "Qin Wei knew that Chiang Kai-shek was dissatisfied because of his "concern" about the famine in Henan. In the eyes of these people, a local famine was nothing at all. In fact, since the founding of the Communist Party, regardless of whether it was Beiyang politics  Neither the National Government nor the National Government have really provided relief to local famines. Even if they have provided relief, it has mostly been to deal with external warlord separatism. Since the local governments do not listen to the central government, why should the central government care about the local governments.  The disaster? And this "habit" has continued, even in the period when the Nationalist Government has basically unified China. Moreover, he was too concerned about the famine in Henan, which was considered beyond his authority by Chiang Kai-shek!  He took the matter very seriously. He Yingqin didn't dare to talk about it, let alone a foreigner like him. Furthermore, the disaster in Henan has just begun, and few people have realized that this will be a rare disaster.  His violent reaction was naturally unacceptable, and this was especially true of Chiang Kai-shek. Therefore, when he got the opportunity, Chiang Kai-shek, who had always been cautious, started to quarrel with him. In order to avoid being accused of deliberately targeting him,  He also brought Kong Xiangxi along with him, but Qin Wei knew that Chiang Kai-shek would only do anything to him and Kong Xiangxi, because what Song Ziwen did this time was really annoying: "I heard.  The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sent a message to the United States to ask questions. I wonder how Song Ziwen responded?  " "This has nothing to do with you.What is the connection between ??  "Old Jiang's face darkened again. Song Ziwen did reply, and his answer was very detailed. Not only was he detailed, but he was also worried about the country and the people, which made him unable to get angry The reason why he wanted to get the loan immediately was for relief.  Northern Shaanxi! This is the answer of the great uncle Guo who holds the power of civil affairs and finance. Northern Shaanxi has been hit by disasters for more than two years!  There was no money at all, so for the sake of northern Shaanxi and to help Chiang Kai-shek regain the popular sentiment in the "Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region" that had been messed up by the Communist Party, he disrupted the National Government's original plan and asked the United States  A request was made for a "small amount" of loans. In any case, it is important to save people firstIn the final analysis, it is another disaster!
