The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

   The Chinese students majoring in journalism in later generations will definitely be familiar with Shao Piaoping's name. He is the pioneer and founder of Chinese journalism theory, and the founder of China's first news agency.

  Lu Xun has written swearing articles all his life, but he never dared to scold warlords because he knew that his life would be in danger. Some people questioned him for not daring to scold warlords, and some encouraged him to scold warlords. Lu Xun's response to this was: These people have ulterior motives and want to trap him!

  Shao Piaoping is a scold of warlords, and he has scolded all the warlords of the Beiyang government. The "Beijing News" he founded was shut down for a time, and he had to go into exile in Japan, but after returning to China to resume the publication, he continued to expose the brutality and greed of the Beiyang government.

   At the end of last year, Shao Piaoping wrote about Zhang Zuolin's bad deeds in the special issue of "Beijing News". Zhang Zuolin took out 300,000 yuan to bribe Shao Piaoping, hoping that the Beijing News would say good things about him. Shao Piaoping immediately returned the money and continued to scold Zhang Dashuai as always.

   Finally, Zhang Zuolin couldn't bear it any longer, and after trapping Shao Piaoping, he was secretly shot in the early morning of April 26. At the time of the execution, Shao Piaoping said to the officers and soldiers who shot him: "Everyone is free to send him." Then he laughed and died calmly at the age of 40.

   Shao Piaoping's death was only the beginning, and newspapers and magazines such as "Beijing News" and its supplement, "National News" and its supplement, and "Yusi" were successively closed down. This move scared many newspapers in the Pingjin area to suspend their publications, and those who did not stop publishing did not dare to tell the truth.

   Lin Baishui, a well-known patriotic newspaper reporter, kept a low profile for a while, but then he couldn't hold back and continued to write articles accusing the Fengtian warlords. As a result, he was also arrested and shot. There is only one suicide note left: I am dying in an instant, and there is no way to talk about family matters at the moment... My beloved daughter studies hard, and in the future, when choosing a husband, you must be extra cautious. But I heard that Lu Er went home to take care of her, and Xiaolin and Baoyu lived in harmony... I have never done anything wrong in my life, and God should bless my family.

  Many progressives in the Pingjin area were on the wanted list of the Fengtian warlords. Some of these people were killed, some were hiding, some went south to escape, and the political atmosphere in the northern region was extremely severe.

   Scholars, writers and celebrities who are not wanted can't stand this backwater environment. Including Lu Xun, everyone went south one after another, and most of them went to the Southern National Government.

   Zhang Zuolin, who was famous all over the world some time ago, Zhang Dashuai, has become notorious for holding a butcher knife high in Peiping.

  Some people have benefited from this, such as Liu Mangong, the boss of the New Tianjin Newspaper Department.

  Because several major newspapers in the Pingjin area have ceased publication one after another, the "New Tianjin News" and "New Tianjin Evening News", which are not involved in politics, took the opportunity to occupy the market, and the sales of the newspapers doubled in a short period of time. Zhou Hexuan's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was also known to more readers with the popularity of the newspaper, and became famous in several northern provinces.

  People dare not talk about state affairs and politics. Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Dongxie Xidu, and the Seven Devils of Jiangnan have become hot spots after dinner. Even the cross talk artists under the overpass have compiled the characters in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" into jokes.

  During this **** storm, Marshal Chu of Tianjin finally married the fifth concubine too.

  The wedding is in Chinese style and it is very grand. The welcoming team received the bride from Tianjin Nanshi, beat gongs and drums all the way into the concession, and held a feast in the hotel run by the British.

   Many celebrities and gentlemen from Tianjin came to congratulate him, and many foreign devils also came to join in the fun. Just the gift money from the guests, Chu Dashuai received more than 600,000 yuan, not including antique calligraphy and painting and gold and silver jewelry.

   Among them, Du Xiaoshan, the owner of Nanshantang, who is famous for his charity, gave 30,000 silver dollars and a jade mountain by himself. This gentleman actively raised military expenses for Chu Yupu, and was finally appreciated by Chu Yupu. He even swore to be a brother with Marshal Chu, and could take a rickshaw to enter and leave the Supervision Office (Chu Yupu's office address) at will.

   "One Worship!"

   "Two worship high hall!"

   "Happy husband and wife!"

  In the British hotel, foreign devils watched the Chinese wedding with great interest. After the ceremony, some foreign wives even shouted "Happy Newlyweds" in a foreign language.

   Zhou Hexuan and the entourage of the Grand Marshal's Mansion were sitting in the corner, and there were some Tianjin government officials nearby. In the further distance were rich businessmen and celebrities, foreign consuls, and generals under Chu Yupu's command.

Chu Yupu is also an unruly guy. After worshipping heaven and earth, he directly stretched out his hand to lift the bride's hijab, and immediately laughed: "His grandma has legs, today is my big day, everyone eat and drink well, Uncle rotten doesn't get drunk!"

   "The commander is mighty!" Chu Yupu's generals and cronies shouted first, followed by other guests.

   Marshal Chu originally wanted to invite Mei Lanfang to sing, but it was a pity that Mei Lanfang got the news in advance and took a boat to Shanghai to perform. This made Chu Yupu very embarrassed and clamored to look good on Mei Lanfang.

   Zhang Wukui held the pig's feet in one hand and ate his mouth full of oil. He held up the wine glass in the other hand and shouted, "Drink and drink! The handsome said, today the rotten brother-in-law is not drunk."

   Zhou Hexuan raised his glass and took a symbolic sip, silently observing the people around him.

  The herald Jia He clinks glasses with his master Shen Yaorong again and again, but the adjutant Chu Nanxiang doesn't drink a drop of alcohol and just sits there and eats food with his back straight.

   Zhou Hexuan thought to himself: If he wants to do something in the Dashuai Mansion or run away, no one else should worry about it, the only one who should be vigilant is this Chu Nanxiang.

   There was a Chinese-style wedding banquet at noon, a lively performance by the opera troupe in the afternoon, and a Western-style dinner party in the evening—Chu Yupu wanted to take the opportunity to have a good relationship with the foreigners.

   Zhou Hexuan ordered a tuxedo ahead of time. He was a big man of 1.8 meters tall. Coupled with his handsome appearance, he looked extremely dashing. He was circling around with a red wine glass, and was about to take the opportunity to make friends with foreigners, when suddenly he heard Chu Yupu shout: "Zhou Hexuan, come here!"

   "Master, what are your orders?" Zhou Hexuan hurriedly ran over to respond.

   Chu Yupu said dissatisfiedly: "I want you to be a translator tonight, why are you running around? Follow me!"

   "Follow the order." Zhou Hexuan stood by the side and waited honestly, but he glanced at the bride.

  The bride is from the Tianbao class, her stage name is Xiaoqing, and she is also dressed in Western clothes at the moment. She is about fifteen or sixteen years old, tall and tall, and looks a bit like Li Bingbing, a female star of later generations, with a bit of glamour in her innocence, but her **** are a little too small.

   Chu Yupu took the fifth concubine, Zhou Hexuan, and Master Shen, and walked towards the group of foreigners with wine glasses in hand, and laughed loudly: "I'm Chu Yupu, everyone is happy to drink tonight!"

   Zhou Hexuan was about to translate, but he heard foreign devils congratulate in Chinese: "General Chu, I wish you a happy wedding."

   Well, he didn't have anything to do with him at all, and Zhou Hexuan was happy too.
