Throughout 1935, what was Zhang Xueliang busy with?

Busy "suppressing bandits".

In the first half of the year, Zhang Xueliang was transferred to Wuchang to "suppress bandits", with the goal of exterminating the remnants of the Red Army in the south; In the second half of the year, Zhang Xueliang was transferred to the northwest to "suppress bandits," with the goal of encircling and suppressing the Red Army in northern Shaanxi.

Since the change of banner in Northeast China, Zhang Xueliang still listens to Chang Kaishen in general, and the two have not had major disagreements.

But in 1935, Chang Kaishen went a little too far, and kept dispatching the Northeast Army to fight in the south and the north, with extremely sinister thoughts: first, let the Northeast Army and the Red Army lose both; second, through the continuous deployment of troops, trying to slowly disintegrate and control the Northeast Army; Third, to encroach on Zhang Xueliang's ruling power in North China.

Zhang Xueliang was very unhappy, and his confidential secretary was shot dead by Lao Jiang, he couldn't hold back and wanted to jump back, and the "Xi'an Incident" had laid the groundwork at this time.

At this time, Zhang Xueliang was still "suppressing bandits" in Wuchang, and Zhou Hexuan wanted to ask him to help recruit flight students, so he could only go to Wuchang in person.

In mid-April, Zhou Hexuan arrived in Shanghai by ship from the United States.

Wu Tiecheng, the mayor of Shanghai, personally greeted him, shook hands warmly, and said: "Mr. Zhou's westward trip this time has made great contributions to the country, and the chairman of the committee specially ordered me to come to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you." ”

"Mayor Wu personally picked up the boat, which really made the contemptible people panic." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

Wu Tiecheng laughed: "Brother Zhou, don't be modest, who doesn't know your prestige in the United States?" Let's go to the restaurant first, and talk while eating. ”

Zhou Hexuan didn't know much about the recent situation in China, and he didn't bother to ask at the moment, so he took Meng Xiaodong to the hotel.

There were seven or eight people sitting at the dinner table, except for Wu Tiecheng, the mayor of Shanghai, and the other Zhou Hexuan didn't know each other.

Wu Tiecheng said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, this is Mr. Yu Guoliang, general manager of "Sweat and Blood" magazine! ”

"Hello Mr. Yu."

"Mr. Zhou, look up for a long time!"

"This is Mr. Yang Kangjun, the editor-in-chief of "Sweat and Blood Monthly".

"This is Mr. Chen Minshu, the editor-in-chief of "Sweat and Blood Weekly".

"Hello Mr. Yang!"

"Mr. Zhou, it's a good luck!"

“……”

Everyone exchanged a few polite greetings, and Zhou Hexuan was even more confused, not knowing what Wu Tiecheng wanted to do.

The original organ of the Shanghai Party Department of the Kuomintang was the Republic of China Daily (Shanghai), founded by Chen Qimei. During the first period of cooperation between the KMT and the Communist Party, the Republic of China Daily (Shanghai) was one of the most revolutionary newspapers in China, and even openly promoted socialism and communism, such as the famous martyr Fang Zhimin, who often published articles in this newspaper.

It was not until Chang Kaishen launched the "purging of the party" that the "Republic of China Daily" (Shanghai) completely became reactionary and completely became the political mouthpiece of Lao Chiang. Zhou Hexuan was also scolded by the "Republic of China Daily" (Shanghai) several times, and the editor-in-chief at that time was still the Kuomintang troll Chen Dezheng.

Ironically, this organ of the Shanghai Party Department of the Kuomintang was forced to suspend publication three years ago because it "offended the Japanese emperor."

At that time, the Japanese emperor was on his way back from the military academy when he was bombed by the Koreans. "Republic of China Daily" (Shanghai) reported: "The Japanese emperor was suddenly sniped after returning to Beijing after the military parade, and unfortunately the murderer who only bombed the deputy car was arrested, and the entire cabinet of Inuyang Yi took the blame and resigned. ”

Just because of the words "unfortunately only bombed the auxiliary car", the Japanese side believed that the "Republic of China Daily" (Shanghai) was cursing the emperor for being killed, and forced the Shanghai Public Concession Bureau to close down the "Republic of China Daily".

As a result, the organ newspaper of the Shanghai Party Department of the Kuomintang came to an end, and although the "Minbao" inherited its system, it seriously lacked social influence.

In the past two years, the most popular right-wing publication in Shanghai has been the "Sweat and Blood" series of magazines, which not only hold high the banner of "cultural suppression of banditry" but even openly propagate fascism, and is the most important mouthpiece of public opinion for the Shanghai party department of the Kuomintang.

To be honest, Zhou Hexuan didn't want to get involved with the royal literati of "Sweat and Blood" magazine.

But now he can't help it, Chen Minshu, editor-in-chief of "Sweat and Blood" Weekly, took the initiative to provoke the topic: "Mr. Zhou, what do you think of Wang Anshi's changes?" ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "The starting point of the change is very good, but unfortunately it was too hasty, and there was a mess in the implementation." ”

Yang Kangjun over there asked again: "Then Mr. Zhou thinks that Wang Anshi's changes should be realized in the current Republic of China?" ”

"Wang Anshi's changes failed in the Northern Song Dynasty, how could they be realized in the Republic of China?" Zhou Hexuan felt that these guys were particularly.

"No, no," Chen Minshu said, "Wang Anshi was a great Chinese statesman, and he was a saint of the Northern Song Dynasty. Today, China is poor and weak, similar to the Northern Song Dynasty in the past, and China must now carry out a thorough reform in order to move towards the road of prosperity and strength! ”

Zhou Hexuan drank silently and was too lazy to speak, he had no common language with this group of Kuomintang royal literati.

Chen Minshu continued to talk about it: "The root cause of Wang Anshi's failure to change the law was the party struggle, which led to the formation of factions in the Northern Song Dynasty, which ruined the rule of officials. If the rule of the officials is bad, it will be difficult to change the law, which makes Mr. Linchuan (Wang Anshi)'s hard work in vain. From my point of view, in order to implement the reform of the law in the Republic of China, it is necessary to rectify the rule of officials, eradicate factional and party disputes, and concentrate administrative power in the leader. If the decree is issued by the central government, the government will be harmonious, and the country will be prosperous! ”

"Brother Chen's argument!" Yang Kangjun clapped his hands and praised.

Yu Guoliang, the general manager of "Sweat and Blood" magazine, asked very cooperatively: "Brother Chen, in your opinion, how should we concentrate all our efforts on the leader?" ”

Chen Minshu said categorically: "We should follow the example of Germany and practice highly centralized fascist rule!" ”

Yu Guoliang sang and sang next to him: "Alas, it's a pity that all walks of life are calling for democratic constitutionalism, and they are really some people with shallow eyes. ”

"If you want me to say," Yang Kangjun answered, "those guys who call for democratic constitutionalism are similar to the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty, misleading the country and the people, and thinking how noble they are." ”

Zhou Hexuan finally understood that these guys were advocating fascism, and they were also using Wang Anshi as an introduction.

By the way, the remark that "the Donglin Party has misled the country" was the first large-scale propaganda carried out by the "Sweat and Blood" series of magazines, in order to counter and slander the progressives of the Republic of China. The black materials of the Donglin Party have been created a lot by these royal literati, and they have been widely circulated on the Internet in later generations.

Lu Xun was also slandered by the imperial literati as the "Donglin Party of the Republic of China", and he complained in a letter to a friend: "Today's Gonggong Zhugong and his son, Gai also knows that China is about to be sold out, so he is trying not to ask the traitors in order to blame." For example, the "Sweat and Blood Monthly" uses "the death of the Ming Dynasty is attributed to Donglin", that is, its subtle meaning. ”

This is a bit of a mouthful, but it can be summed up simply: senior government officials and their mouthpieces also know that China's sovereignty is about to be sold out, so they look for scapegoats and put a traitor hat on these scapegoats.

Wu Tiecheng suddenly said: "Mr. Zhou, in the last part of "The Rise of Great Powers", you also said that China should be ruled centrally in order to truly become prosperous and powerful. Now that the chairman of the committee is calling for learning from Wang Anshi's reforms, why doesn't Mr. Zhou write a few articles that are appropriate to the situation? ”

Lao Jiang called for learning Wang Anshi's reforms?

Damn, what kind of evil wind is that bald man smoking!

Zhou Hexuan couldn't help but laugh, but soon understood Chang Kaishen's true intentions, and this person couldn't wait to build momentum for the dictatorship. Wang Zhaoming is the number one target, and the power of the Executive Yuan is estimated to be completely withdrawn by Lao Jiang.
