The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

Some people are drinking, punching, playing mahjong, and some are sincerely helping the country. Many military and government officials and civilians are quietly running in tandem.

For example, Legislator Dai Ren, who is already 70 years old, is preparing to submit the "National Crisis Plan" with 18 people, and put forward a preliminary plan for the two situations of "wartime" and "after peace". The motion pointed out: "Japan's annexation of China, from Taiwan to North Korea, to Manchuria, and then to the coast and hinterland, has been a traditional mainland policy since the Meiji era, and it has not changed slightly for decades."

Dai Ren analyzed Japan's national conditions and national policies, and believed that the issue of Japan cannot be resolved in the short term, and preparations for long-term resistance should be made. Even if the peace talks succeed, they should not be taken lightly. Dai Ren said: "I predict that Japan will not be able to sacrifice this tradition (mainland policy) and stop here. Within five or ten years, it will surely make a comeback, and China will be ravaged by Japanese guns, tanks, planes, and warships again, turning into a cruel and dark country." Miserable Great Shura Field."

In addition, Liu Chengcan and others are preparing to submit the "Restricted Time Limit Enrichment of Armaments, Training and Ministries Unified Anti-Insult Case", proposing that "(National Party) members under the age of 45 and students above middle school shall receive military training." This is to call on all people to become soldiers.

Anyway, everyone racked their brains, and there are all kinds of proposals, reliable and unreliable, all kinds of proposals, and so on.

After Zhou Hexuan stayed in the hotel, two groups of people came to look for him soon. A group of people urged Zhou Hexuan to sign the "Aviation Nation Relief Case", calling for the development of the aviation industry to be able to fight the Japanese in the air; another group urged Zhou Hexuan to sign the "Disaster Relief Case", hoping that the government would Increase disaster relief efforts and severely punish corrupt disaster relief officials.

Zhou Hexuan carefully read both proposals and found that there was no major problem, so he signed his name.

As soon as these people left, the representatives of the business community came running back, and signed the "Boycott of Japanese Goods Case" together with Zhou Hexuan. Businessmen believe that Japanese goods are flooding the country, and they have to grab countless profits every year. Only boycotting Japanese goods can limit Japan's economic development.

Well, this makes sense, Zhou Hexuan swiped his signature again.

I have to say that everyone's enthusiasm is very high. Because many of the participants are from non-government people, and they were finally able to make suggestions for the country, so of course they are unwilling to let go of this opportunity.

Soon the main event came, Zhang Junmai, Tong Guanxian, Yang Duanliu and others came to Zhou Hexuan's room, hoping that Zhou Hexuan would support their proposition.

"Mr. Zhou, long time no see." Zhang Junmai smiled and shook hands. "Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Tong Guanxian, Dean of Law School of Central University, and Mr. Yang Duanliu, Dean of Law School of Wuhan University."

"It's a pleasure to meet you!"

"It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Everyone shook hands and greeted each other.

Tong Guanxian went straight to the point and said, "Mr. Zhou, we are going to put forward the motion of 'ending political training, convening a National Assembly, and enacting a constitution' at the National Crisis Conference. I hope you can support it."

Zhou Hexuan looked at their proposal carefully and basically understood their intentions. These people belong to the "democratic constitutional faction" and strongly oppose political training and dictatorship. Not only required the formulation of a constitution, but also proposed the establishment of a central public opinion organ and the convening of a national congress.

Zhou Hexuan said with a wry smile: "You gentlemen have good ideas, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to realize."

Yang Duanliu said: "Whether it is difficult or not, we must fight for it."

In fact, the central government was forced to decide to convene this national crisis meeting under the pressure of calls from all walks of life for reform and democracy. The proposer was Cai Yuanpei.

Zhang Junmai also said: "This is a good opportunity for a democratic constitution, and we must seize it."

Zhou Hexuan shook his head and said, "Even if the central government agrees to a democratic constitution, it's just a show."

Tong Guanxian said: "Even if it's just a show, it's better than not doing it. Democracy is not a matter of a day or two. As long as we strive for it for a long time, it will be realized sooner or later."

"Okay, I'll sign." Zhou Hexuan swiped his signature again. He still admires these scholars who pursue democracy.

Tong Guanxian put away the proposal, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you!"

"It's just a little effort." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

The "democratic constitutionalists" are definitely not these few, and soon the China Youth Party also came to Zhou Hexuan, hoping that Zhou Hexuan would support their proposal of "ending the one-party (harmonious) dictatorship and formulating a democratic constitution". Zhou Hexuan didn't shirk, and signed the proposal openly.

Anyway, no matter what the proposal is, as long as it is good for the country, even if there is no possibility of realization, Zhou Hexuan will sign his name and talk about it.

At the end of the day, Zhou Hexuan had already signed seven or eight proposals, as if he came to Luoyang just to sign.

Not only did Luoyang call for "ending political training and establishing a democratic constitution," but newspapers and magazines across the country also collectively called for it.

"Shenbao" openly questioned the effect of political training, clearly stated that "this so-called political training is an autocratic ear in disguise", and also stated in an editorial that "what we want is real democratic politics, based on the overwhelming majority of the people democracy".

Zhou Hexuan has seldom intervened in the business of Ta Kung Pao. This time Hu Zhengzhi and Zhang Jiluan personally wrote an editorial, demanding that the Nationalist Party open up its political power. They believed that under the current situation, there is no need to talk about the immediate implementation of the Constitution, and the division of labor and specialization should be first planned (advocated Improve government efficiency and capacity).

Zhou Hexuan was taken aback by the content of Zhang Jiluan's article. He actually clearly proposed to "open the party ban", and even said that the Communist Party should be included. He believes that as long as the Communist Party does not lead riots and separatist land, it can fully participate in national construction.

There is also a group of people who oppose the dictatorship of the Nationalist Party and Wang Jiang's ruling, and they are resolutely unwilling to participate in the national crisis meeting. They gathered together, advocated democracy, attacked party rule and political training, and the influence of public opinion was terrifying.

It can be said that, except for a few vested interest groups, the whole country is collectively criticizing the central government's political training, which shows how unpopular the Nanjing Nationalist Government is.

On the day of the National Crisis Conference held in Luoyang, only 140 people attended the meeting originally scheduled for more than 500 people. Among them, most of the "national crisis members" in Shanghai and Pingjin gave up coming to the meeting because of Wang Zhaoming's "not talking about politics" meeting program.

Tianjin "Yishi Daily" commented on this: "The National Crisis Conference, and even more, its credibility and effectiveness are irreparable."

Even before the meeting was held, it had already been reduced to a farce. Those who wanted to get the National Party to cancel the political training through the meeting would probably be disappointed.

Zhou Hexuan, Hu Shi and others set off from the hotel to the meeting site together, and sat in a relatively front seat.

Until the official opening of the National Crisis Conference, the seats were empty. Those vacant chairs outline big dark mouths, which seem to be able to kill the autocratic National Party at any time.
