Following the Second Northern Expedition of the Nationalist Government in Wuhan, Nanjing, which had been holding its troops back, suddenly sent troops northward, launching attacks from the east and west at the same time.
The reason why Principal Chang sent troops was because he had secretly reached a consensus with Wang Zhaoming to join forces to purge the party. Not only that, after Wuhan and Feng Yuxiang joined forces in the Central Plains, Wang Zhaoming immediately went north to Zhengzhou to secretly discuss "purging the Communist Party" with Feng Yuxiang.
Each unit under Feng Yuxiang's command had members of our party serving as political commissars. On the surface, he agreed to the Qing Communist Party, but instead of completing the matter, he dismissed our party members from their posts, treated everyone to a meal first, and then sent them out of the country with gifts.
Zhang Xueliang fought well in Henan. Although he suffered some defeats, the losses were not huge. Unfortunately, his teammates were too bad. Two of the three armies were defeated, leaving Zhang Xueliang alone to support the situation in Henan.
By the end of May, Zhang Xueliang felt that fighting would not help, so he led his troops to withdraw from Henan, and the entire Henan Province was occupied by the Wuhan National Government.
Zhang Zuolin was completely panicked. The Northern Expeditionary Army from the east marched straight in, the Northern Expeditionary Army from the west captured Henan, Feng Yuxiang from the northwest was still attacking Shanxi, and Yan Xishan was beaten until he called his father. If this momentum continues, the Northeastern Army will be driven back to his hometown sooner or later.
Zhang Zuolin quickly recruited people to discuss strategies, and finally came up with only one solution, and that was to negotiate a peace!
Zhang Xueliang put forward the idea of changing the banner, intending to take advantage of the contradictions in the south, and united with President Chang and Yan Xishan to fight against the Wuhan National Government. The factional conflicts in Fengjun also emerged. The new faction supported the surrender to the Nanjing National Government, while the old faction expressed firm opposition.
Finally, Zhang Xueliang persuaded his uncle Zhang Zuoxiang. Zhang Zuolin agreed to the plan and was willing to surrender to the southern government.
Principal Chang intended to win over Zhang Zuolin and hoped to reconcile with the Fengcheng faction, but the two sides had conflicts on the issue of the Three People's Principles. Principal Chang wanted Zhang Zuolin to believe in the Three People's Principles, but Zhang Zuolin proposed to change the Three People's Principles and add "people's morality" after the Three People's Principles.
It became the "Four People's Principles".
Isn’t this an argument?
Such dramatic negotiations can only explain one problem: neither side is really negotiating for peace, but is using each other to delay time.
Not to mention the war between the North and the South, the drought in Hebei and Shandong has become more serious, and the number of victims who have been stranded in Tianjin for a long time has exceeded 30,000. The Jimin Association's charity has finally reached its bottom, and no matter how hard it appeals for donations, it is of no avail.
Under such circumstances, the supplement of "Popular" began to serialize "The Wanderings of Sanmao".
…
"Read the newspaper, read the newspaper "Popular". Yang Guo, Xiao Longnu is poisoned, her life or death is uncertain!"
"Child, bring the newspaper quickly."
On the streets of Tianjin, more than a dozen hooligans gathered together. Whenever the supplement of "Popular" published a report, they stopped working temporarily and stopped doing bad things. They just sat down and listened to the story.
Wei San, a gangster who barely knew a few words, appeared as a storyteller. He held a newspaper and read: "This period of peace and quiet will not last long. Not long after Guo Xiang fell asleep, the sound of someone stepping on the snow came from the distance in the east.
Rise and fall fast... what's fast, it's very fast anyway. Yang Guo stood up and looked out the east window. He saw two old men walking side by side in the snow, one fat and one thin, the clothes... these two words are really different.
I know, it’s used to describe clothes anyway…”
The gangsters expressed their dissatisfaction and shouted: "Wei San'er, do you fucking know how to read it?"
"Yes, he also said that he went to a civilian school and couldn't even read novels."
"Damn it, don't read the words you don't know. It's really frustrating!"
"..."
Wei San blushed and said, "You know nothing!" "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was written by Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou is a great scholar. There are many difficult words in the book he wrote. I can understand 70% to 80% of it, which is already very good.
incredible."
"Stop putting money on yourself. If you are so damn good at reading, why would you still be a gangster with us?"
"Haha, Wei San'er is also a scholar."
"Drink ink and don't get sick of your stomach."
"..."
"I don't want to read it anymore, I love so and so!" Wei San said in a rage.
Those gangsters were not afraid that he would give up his game. They immediately rushed to a man wearing glasses on the street, surrounded him and said, "Xiao Siyan, don't leave!"
The man with glasses stepped back and said in shock: "You... don't act like this, my uncle is the principal of Sanyizhuang Primary School!"
"Principal? Principal, that's fine. If you know the words, read this novel quickly!" The gangsters put the newspapers into the glasses man's hands with playful smiles.
The bespectacled man breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped his sweat and said, "It's a trivial thing to repay. Ahem, listen..."
In less than a moment, today's serialized novel had been read. The gangsters were discussing the plot with great interest, even leaving the newspaper.
Upon seeing this, the man with glasses ran away quickly and waited until he got on the tram before he finally felt relieved. He was still interested in reading the newspaper. When he turned to the last page, he found that it was full of pictures. He couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Hey, the supplement of "Popular" is also
Are you serializing comics?"
The man with glasses, whose real name is Niu Dunru, is also a passionate young man. Last year, he was arrested by the patrol room and imprisoned for a few days because of the anti-British demonstration.
There were only eight four-frame cartoons serialized in the entire page. Niu Dunru didn't take it seriously at first, but as he looked at it, his expression became solemn and he couldn't calm down.
Sanmao was a wandering boy without a father or a mother. He was finally adopted by an old fisherman and taught him how to make a living by fishing. After a few days of happy life, he met a soldier crossing the river. The soldier disagreed, so he
The old fisherman was killed.
This is a typical orphan of the Republic of China. Due to malnutrition, he grew thin and small, but had a big head. Everything he encountered was also the personal experience of the people of the Republic of China, making people feel the same.
Niu Dunru read the cartoon and remained silent. He didn't know what was going on in this country. Jackals were in power and wars were endless. When would there be peace?
Comics are more intuitive than novels, and ordinary people can understand its meaning. Once "Sanmao Wandering" was serialized, it was immediately popular among readers. Some people cursed the warlords while reading the comics and cursed them to die early.
Not only adults like it, but even children love to watch it.
Many children in Tianjin and Peking wait for adults to finish reading the newspaper every day, so they can read "Sanmao" happily. This comic will become the childhood memory of a generation.
The famous critic Li Xianchun commented: "Although "Sanmao Wandering" is a comic with straightforward and superficial content, it is actually a rare work. The authors, Ms. Guo and Mr. Zhou, observe society from the perspective of a wandering child.
It reflects all the injustices today. These injustices happen to Sanmao, and they also happen to you and me... What is rare is that although Sanmao was bullied and experienced various poverty and hardships, he was always positive and optimistic and never gave in. The comic author
It conveys a positive spirit to us.”
Ordinary readers don't care what their spirit is, as long as they like to read. As for what they want to explore, the only thing left is the identity of the author. Who are Miss Guo and Mr. Zhou?
Many people have guessed that Mr. Zhou is Zhou Hexuan, but what about Miss Guo? I have never heard of any female painter named Guo.
As "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" comes to an end, coupled with the popularity of "San Mao Wandering", the sales of "Popular" supplements continue to grow, and by the beginning of June, the daily sales volume actually exceeded 15,000 copies.
Wanrong was so proud recently that even her emotional troubles were diluted. Her comics signed "Miss Guo" were popular in Beijing and Tianjin. One day when she was shopping, she actually heard someone talking about her, saying that she wanted to meet that person.
Cartoonist "Miss Guo".
Wanrong has always been unable to find the value of her own survival. She has always been constrained by her status as a queen. But now that her comics have been recognized, it is like getting a new life. She feels full of energy and spends all day in the studio working hard to create.
.
Zhou Hexuan went home with a bag of letters. When Wanrong came to the door, he threw them to her and said, "It's all yours."
"Any more letters from readers?" Wanrong asked excitedly.
"There are so many. The newspaper office collects several letters every day." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.
Wanrong opened the letter and read it: "Miss Guo, Mr. Zhou, hello! I am a middle school student, and I like to watch "The Wanderings of San Mao" very much..."
After reading all the letters, Wanrong took up her pen and replied one by one. She concentrated on it and took it seriously, as if she were writing a letter to her close relatives and friends.
Zhou Hexuan left the study in a funny manner, and Meng Xiaodong happened to come over with a plate. He kissed Meng Xiaodong on the lips again and again, and only let go when he heard the footsteps of Mrs. Liu Wu.
"It's so bad," Meng Xiaodong stared at him with shame and joy, and asked, "Where is Sister Wanrong?"
Zhou Hexuan said speechlessly: "She is replying to readers again. She has many friends now, and it costs several oceans to send letters every month."
"Haha, as long as she has something to do," Meng Xiaodong smiled.
Meng Xiaodong is happy and graceful, but Zhang Leyi, who is far away in Jiangxi, is in trouble.
Zhang Leyi wanted to go to Tianjin a while ago, but was banned by her father. In the past half month, even the letters sent by Zhou Hexuan were violently withheld by her father and burned directly by the servants.
