Later generations of Chinese students majoring in journalism must be familiar with Shao Piaoping's name. He is the pioneer and founder of Chinese news theory, and the founder of China's first news agency.
”.
Lu Xun wrote cursing articles all his life, but he never dared to scold warlords because he knew his life would be in danger. Some people questioned that he did not dare 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 and kill them.
he!
Shao Piaoping was a critic who specialized in scolding warlords. He basically scolded all the warlords in the Beiyang government. The "Beijing News" he founded was once shut down, and he had to go into exile in Japan, but after returning to China and resuming publication, he continued to expose the brutality of the Beiyang government.
greedy.
At the end of last year, Shao Piaoping listed Zhang Zuolin's bad deeds in a special issue of "Beijing News". Zhang Zuolin bribed Shao Piaoping with 300,000 yuan, hoping that "Beijing News" would speak for him. Shao Piaoping immediately returned the money and continued to scold Zhang Da as usual.
handsome.
Finally, Zhang Zuolin couldn't bear it anymore, and after trapping Shao Piaoping, he secretly shot him in the early morning of April 26. During the execution, Shao Piaoping said to the officers and soldiers who shot him: "You will be spared." Then he laughed up to the sky and died calmly at the age of 40.
.
Shao Piaoping's death was just the beginning. Subsequently, newspapers and magazines such as "Beijing News" and its supplement, "National News" and its supplement, "Yusi" and other newspapers were sealed one after another. This frightened many newspapers in the Pingjin area to suspend publication.
Don't dare to tell the truth anymore.
The famous patriotic newspaperman Lin Baishui kept a low profile for a while, but then he couldn't hold it in anymore and continued to write articles accusing the Feng clique warlords. As a result, he was also arrested and shot. He only left a suicide note: I am about to die in an instant, and there is nothing I can do about my family.
Speaking of... I love my daughter to study hard, and I must be extra cautious when choosing a son-in-law in the future. But I know that Lu'er will go home to take care of her, and Xiaolin and Baoyu will live in harmony... I have never done anything wrong in my life, and God should bless my family.
Many progressive people in the Pingjin area were on the wanted list of Feng Faction warlords. Some of these people were killed, some hid in hiding, and some fled south. The political atmosphere in the northern region became extremely serious.
Scholars, writers and celebrities who were not wanted could not stand this backwater environment. Everyone, including Lu Xun, moved south one after another, and most of them went to the southern National Government.
Zhang Zuolin, Marshal Zhang, who was famous all over the world some time ago, has become notorious because he held a butcher knife high in Peiping.
Some people have benefited from this, such as Liu Beardong, the boss of New Tianjin Newspaper.
Because several major newspapers in the Pingjin area ceased publication one after another, the non-political "New Tianjin News" and "New Tianjin Evening News" took the opportunity to occupy the market, and the sales volume of the newspapers doubled in a short period of time. Zhou Hexuan's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes",
As the newspaper became more popular, it became known to more readers and became famous in several northern provinces.
People did not dare to talk about national affairs. Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Ashes of Time, and the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan became hot topics after dinner. Even the crosstalk artists under the overpass made jokes about the characters in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
In the midst of this bloody storm, Marshal Chu from Tianjin finally married his fifth concubine.
The wedding was a Chinese-style wedding, which was extremely grand. The wedding team picked up the bride from Nanshi, Tianjin, and carried her into the concession with drums and gongs beating, and there was a grand banquet in a hotel owned by the British.
Many celebrities and gentry in Tianjin came to congratulate him, and many foreign devils also came to join in the fun. Marshal Chu received more than 600,000 yuan from guests' gifts alone, not including antique calligraphy, paintings, 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 to himself. This gentleman actively raised military expenses for Chu Yupu, and finally got the appreciation of Chu Yupu. He even became sworn brothers with Marshal Chu, and could take a rickshaw to supervise any entry and exit.
Office (Chu Yupu’s office address).
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Two thanks to Gaotang!"
"Couple greetings!"
In the British hotel, the foreign devils watched the Chinese wedding with great interest. After the ceremony, a foreign woman even shouted "Happy Wedding" in foreign languages. The scene was full of joy, which was in sharp contrast to the solemnity in the cities of Peiping and Tianjin.
Zhou Hexuan and the attachés from the Marshal's Mansion were sitting in the corner, and nearby were some officials from the Tianjin government. Farther away, wealthy businessmen and celebrities, foreign consuls, and generals under Chu Yupu also gathered at two tables.
Chu Yupu was also an unruly guy. After praying to heaven and earth, he stretched out his hand to lift the bride's hijab, and then laughed and said: "Grandma, today is my happy day. Let's eat and drink well."
A bad brother-in-law doesn’t get drunk!”
"The commander is mighty!" Chu Yupu's generals and cronies first shouted, and then other guests followed suit.
Marshal Chu originally wanted to invite Mei Lanfang to sing in an opera, but unfortunately Mei Lanfang learned the news in advance and took a boat to go to Shanghai to perform. This made Chu Yupu very embarrassed and clamored to make Mei Lanfang look good.
Zhang Wukui held the pig's trotter in one hand and ate it until his mouth was full of oil. He held up a wine glass in the other hand and shouted: "Drink, drink! The commander-in-chief said that my bad brother-in-law will not get drunk today."
Zhou Hexuan raised his glass and took a symbolic sip, silently observing the people around him.
The herald Jia He clinked glasses with his master Shen Yaorong, but the adjutant Chu Nanxiang didn't drink at all and just sat there eating vegetables with his back straight.
Zhou Hexuan thought to himself: If he wanted to cause trouble or escape in the Marshal's Mansion, no one else would have to worry about him. The only one he had to be wary of was Chu Nanxiang.
There was a Chinese wedding banquet at noon, a lively performance by the theater troupe in the afternoon, and a Western-style dinner party in the evening - Chu Yupu wanted to take the opportunity to establish good relations with foreigners.
Zhou Hexuan ordered a tuxedo in advance. He was a tall man of 1.8 meters, and with his handsome appearance, he looked extremely chic. He was wandering around with a red wine glass, and was about to take the opportunity to make friends with foreigners, when he suddenly heard Chu Yupu shouting:
"Zhou Hexuan, come here!"
"Commander, what are your orders?" Zhou Hexuan quickly ran over to respond.
Chu Yupu said dissatisfied: "I still want you to be the translator tonight, why are you running around? Follow me!"
"As ordered." Zhou Hexuan stood by the side obediently waiting for orders, but his eyes glanced at the bride.
The bride is an actress from the Tianbao Troupe, her stage name is Xiao Qing, and she has also changed into a Western dress at this moment. She is about fifteen or sixteen years old, tall and looks a bit like the later female star Li Bingbing. She is pure and somewhat gorgeous.
, but the breasts are a bit too small.
Chu Yupu took his fifth concubine, Zhou Hexuan, and Master Shen, and walked toward a group of foreigners with wine glasses in hand. He laughed and said, "I am Chu Yupu. Everyone will be happy to drink tonight!"
Zhou Hexuan was about to translate, but he heard the foreign devils congratulating each other in Chinese: "General Chu, I wish you a happy wedding."
Well, there was nothing to do with him at all, and Zhou Hexuan was happy and free.
