A few days later, Zhang Zuolin's inauguration ceremony was held as scheduled. The headlines of major newspapers in the north all carried photos of Zhang Zuolin wearing a formal dress.
Zhang Zuolin has reached the peak of his life.
After the glory comes the war!
Sun Chuanfang, the deputy commander of the Anguo Army, rushed back to Nanjing and immediately mobilized his troops and generals to prepare for a battle with the Northern Expeditionary Army to ensure his territory in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The defense of the north bank of the Yangtze River was handed over to the Zhilu Allied Forces, and Zhang Zongchang and Chu Yupu went south again.
.
In mid-December, Sun Chuanfang was defeated, and then internal strife broke out, causing military morale to fluctuate.
Seeing that the Northern Expeditionary Army was about to occupy Zhejiang and Anhui, Zhang Zuolin was really panicked. He didn't care about the plan to drive away wolves and tigers, and fish and clams compete with each other, so he quickly ordered Zhang Zongchang and Chu Yupu to go to Suhu to provide support.
The fight was lively in the south, but it was also uneven in the north.
Because the war on the front line was unfavorable, the warlords began to increase taxes under clever pretexts. There were such things as "asking for red donations", "suppressing bandit donations", and "sweeping illegal donations". It was dazzling to see. Even Zhou Hexuan's manuscript tax was overcharged.
Hundreds of oceans.
The lives of the people at the bottom, both in cities and in rural areas, are extremely difficult. In addition, there is not much snow this winter, and there may be a locust plague in the north next year, which may be difficult to deal with by then.
Having said that, life has to go on as usual, and the theater is still bustling with activity.
Since Meng Xiaodong came back to the stage, she has quickly become famous in the Zhili area, and her reputation is comparable to that of Mei Lanfang, Shang Xiaoyun and other great masters. She is now busy performing all day long, traveling back and forth between Ping and Tianjin, and even met with Zhou Hexuan
I can't squeeze out any free time.
The teacher-student relationship between Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu also aroused heated discussions among readers. Some people called it immoral, but they only talked about it verbally. In fact, they enjoyed it privately.
Nowadays, teacher-student romance is popular, and Li Shoumin secretly communicates with his female students about music, and even gave her a copy of his paintings a few days ago.
This morning.
The tea garden is deserted and only becomes lively in the afternoon.
A few middle-aged guests were drinking tea and reading the newspaper. Suddenly one of them burst into flames and said, "Jin Yong, that bastard, what the hell did you write?"
"What's wrong?" asked the friend.
The man said: "You will know from the back that Little Dragon Girl was desecrated by that dog Taoist priest!"
His friends immediately read quickly and saw that the Taoist priest from Zhongnan Mountain took advantage of the situation and pressed on Xiao Longnu, touching and kissing her, and even took off her clothes. Fortunately, Yang Guo and Ouyang Feng came back at this time, and the smelly Taoist priest
Then he was so frightened that he ran away in panic.
This is Zhou Hexuan's revised plot.
Although Xiao Longnu did not lose her virginity, it was obviously still unacceptable.
At this moment, at least thousands of people were holding newspapers and yelling, scolding all eighteen generations of Zhou Hexuan's ancestors.
"Ta Kung Pao" newspaper office.
Zhang Jiluan was writing an editorial when he suddenly heard a crisp sound. He was wondering what happened when suddenly the window of his office was broken and a stone flew in and landed on his desk.
Could it be that someone is causing trouble?
Zhang Jiluan stood up with a solemn expression. He walked to the window and saw three or four people frantically smashing the glass of the newspaper office with stones.
"Call the police, call the police!"
Just as Zhang Jiluan was shouting, the Chinese patrolmen had already arrived. This is a concession, a foreign territory, and there are police patrols on the streets at all times, so you can't do anything casually.
The person who smashed the glass was so frightened that he ran away quickly, but one unlucky guy was still caught.
Zhang Jiluan rushed downstairs and asked: "Who sent you here?"
The man said confidently: "That bastard Jin Yong recruited me!"
"What's going on?" Zhang Jiluan was confused.
"Little Dragon Girl, Little Dragon Girl has been defiled!" the man yelled.
Little Dragon Girl?
Only then did Zhang Jiluan remember that Xiao Longnu was the heroine of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the author of the novel, Jin Yong, was the pen name of Zhou Hexuan.
After asking about the situation, Zhang Jiluan couldn't laugh or cry. He handed the patrolman two pieces of ocean and said, "Let him go."
"Popular" supplement editorial office.
Zhu Xiang laughed heartily: "Hahaha, Brother Zhou, I told you that you were going to cause trouble in this chapter."
Zhou Hexuan shrugged and had nothing to say. In fact, he was glad that if he had written it according to the original work, angry readers would have rushed directly to the newspaper office. Jin Yong's house had been splashed with paint back then.
Zheng Zhengyin said: "I feel uncomfortable reading this chapter, it's just random!"
"You don't understand, this is artistic creation." Zhou Hexuan pretended.
"Art is nothing. If someone else were the author, I would go there with a big blade!" Zheng Zhengyin said.
Zhou Hexuan sweated violently.
The turmoil caused by the Xiao Longnu incident was regarded by readers as an interesting topic, and soon faded away as the plot of the novel progressed.
Especially in the two chapters of the martial arts competition, there are big climaxes and small climaxes, and good dramas are staged one after another. Readers in the Republic of China have never seen such exciting writing routines, and they just feel hearty when reading them. When Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu teamed up to deal with King Jinlun, they
It's like drinking a bowl of cold water in the dog days of summer, and the pores all over your body are beautifully bubbling.
The sales volume of the "Popular" supplement was stimulated to grow again, almost exceeding 10,000 copies.
In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival is approaching, and every household is preparing to celebrate New Year's Eve, but they dare not be too ostentatious.
In the early years of the Republic of China, all Chinese traditions were regarded as backward customs, even the Spring Festival. The government promoted celebrating the Western New Year's Day and even openly banned the Lunar New Year. During this period, civil servants had to go to work as usual.
Especially in big cities like Pingjin, the requirements are extremely strict, and it is explicitly prohibited to set off firecrackers and post Spring Festival couplets.
However, Marshal Zhang has just become the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces of the 15 provinces, and he is quite happy with the people. Although he did not give public servants a holiday during the Spring Festival, he also gave some symbolic New Year bonuses, and he did not object to the people celebrating New Year's Eve.
Zhou Hexuan is not interested in celebrating holidays or birthdays because he has lost relatives since middle school. While other families are celebrating, he feels deserted and has an inexplicable aversion to festivals.
This year is different. First, Meng Xiaodong came to pay New Year greetings with gifts, and then Zhang Leyi from the south wrote a letter to wish him a happy Spring Festival, which made Zhou Hexuan feel a little warm in his heart.
On New Year's Eve, Li Shoumin forced him to go back to the courtyard, and even the Sun brothers were invited.
The Li family is from Sichuan, and they don't have the habit of making dumplings. Anyway, they put big fish and meat on the table, so they can get drunk.
Perhaps because of the Spring Festival, the war in the south was suspended.
Sun Chuanfang took the opportunity to lick his wounds and tighten his defenses. As a result, after the Spring Festival, when the Northern Expeditionary Army came again, Sun Chuanfang was defeated again, and even Hangzhou was surrounded.
In Tianjin, news suddenly came from Wanrong that she was divorcing Puyi and wanted Zhou Hexuan to help hire a lawyer.
