During the Spring Festival, Zhou Hexuan sorted out the manuscripts at home, and Yu Peichen and Cui Huifu were responsible for copying and helping.

Before the outbreak of the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Zhou Hexuan thought that he should make a summary and publish his previous poems, current reviews, essays, and speeches.

There are only a few poems, but there are many others, with a total of 75 reviews, 21 essays, and 13 speeches. Among them, 75 current reviews were mainly published in the two magazines "Independent Review" and "Non-Attack", and some were editorials of Ta Kung Pao.

Zhou Hexuan was too lazy to bother to choose a name, and directly named it "Mingcheng Anthology". It's a pity that Mr. Lu Xun has passed away, otherwise he would have asked Lu Xun to make a preface, and he can only express deep regret for this.

In addition to Lu Xun, Hu Shi was the most famous in the Chinese literary world at this time, but Zhou Hexuan never considered Mr. Hu.

More than half of the more than 100 articles in the "Ming Cheng Anthology" are about Japan, with a strong and determined anti-Japanese color. As for Hu Shi, he still adheres to the "main peace theory", which is diametrically opposed to Zhou Hexuan's view.

By the time the compilation and revision of the "Ming Cheng Anthology" was completed, it was already the sixteenth day of the first month.

Hu Shuhua, president of Chongqing University, personally invited Zhou Hexuan to attend the opening ceremony of the new semester.

At this time, the site of Chongqing University had been moved from Caiyuanba to Shapingba, and it was not in the main urban area. Zhou Hexuan took a boat around Chaotianmen Wharf and sailed along the Jialing River for more than an hour before finally landing at the wharf near the school.

The name of "Zhou Shenxian" is still loud in Shapingba, but the real person and the name do not match, and he was not recognized until he walked into the campus.

The whole university was in a sensation, teachers and students came to shake hands and greet each other, and many asked Zhou Hexuan for autographs. There was infinite respect in everyone's eyes, which had nothing to do with academics and fame, but was the result of his efforts to provide disaster relief.

Not to mention, there is a porridge field on this side of Shapingba, which is responsible for rehousing the victims who fled from northeast Sichuan. Many students from Chongqing University volunteered to volunteer in the porridge field and witnessed the actual situation of the victims. They knew very well how miserable the situation of these victims would be if it were not for Zhou Hexuan to provide food.

At the opening ceremony, Hu Shuhua made a speech for about 20 minutes, and then invited Zhou Hexuan to give a speech.

"Bang bang bang!"

Zhou Hexuan had just stepped on the stone steps with one foot, and before he even stepped onto the rostrum, thunderous applause rang out in the playground.

"Mr. Zhou is so good!"

"Long live Mr. Zhou!"

“……”

Zhou Hexuan raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, picked up the iron horn and said:

"Teachers and students, it is an honor to come to Chongqing University today to give a speech. Nowadays, the thing that everyone is most concerned about must be the drought in Sichuan, but as a college student who is the pride of the sky, I also hope that you will pay attention to the farther news. ”

"Just eight days ago, Japan formed a new cabinet, and the prime minister is called Hayashi Juro. Who is Juro Hayashi? At the time of the 918 Incident, Lin Mijuro took the initiative to cooperate with the Kwantung Army and dispatched troops to attack the Northeast without authorization, and was called a 'cross-border general' by the international media. So it is clear that this Japanese cabinet is a veritable military cabinet. Among the cabinet members, only one is from the House of Representatives, and he joined the cabinet as a non-partisan person from the Showa Kai, and the rest of the cabinet members are all soldiers! Japanese Prime Minister Hayashi Mijuro even openly shouted that his cabinet would exclude political parties! ”

"What does it mean to have a military cabinet? Means war! ”

On the eve of the Spring Festival, the president of the Japanese aristocratic parliament wrote an article discussing the Sino-Japanese issue, hoping to dispel China's suspicions about Japan and expressing sympathy and practical help for China's construction. This is a very rare voice of peace from Japan, however, the Japanese emperor can't help it! ”

"The Japanese emperor ordered Ugaki Kazunari to form a cabinet, and Ugaki Issei was also a soldier, and he was a soldier who actively instigated the invasion of China. Kazunari Ugaki still has a little brains among the Japanese military, and his cabinet retains some politicians. But the Japanese emperor was not happy, and the Japanese military department was not happy, they were all crazy, and even the Japanese cabinet had to lose their minds. ”

As a result, the Ugaki cabinet was forced to dissolve as soon as it was formed, and it was replaced by a purely military Lin Milling cabinet. What does Japan want to do? It goes without saying that they are going to war, they are going to fully invade China! The date of the war is this year, and it will never be delayed until next year, and it is clear from the formation of the new Japanese cabinet that they can't wait! “

"Wow!"

The audience was in an uproar, and the teachers and students looked at Zhou Hexuan in amazement. Although everyone knows that war is inevitable, they are still extremely shocked by the news that there will be a war this year.

Zhou Hexuan continued: "Mr. Hu Shizhi, not long ago, he announced his three New Year's wishes: first, the implementation of constitutional government; second, to recover the territory of North China; Third, rebuild sovereignty. What I want to say is that none of Mr. Hu's three wishes can be realized for the time being. His mind was a little confused, he could not see the changes in the international situation, and he was bent on pursuing some kind of democratic constitutionalism. The most important thing in China today is to save the country and survive and to resist Japan's imminent war of aggression against China! ”

"Here, I must strongly criticize and condemn Mr. Wang Zhaoming! At a time when the whole of China was discussing the establishment of a national united front, he openly declared that he was willing to work hand in hand with any country and doubted the sincerity of the Communist Party in cooperation with the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. This is an extremely wrong act, and when the country is in peril, we must put aside all contradictions and jointly resist the common enemy of all the people, that is, Japan! ”

"At the same time, I'm happy. At the just-concluded Third Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the Kuomintang, the Kuomintang actually accepted the resolution on cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the anti-Japanese national united front was initially formed. Students, teachers, don't be discouraged, don't be afraid, the War of Resistance will be very difficult, but I am sure that as long as we are united, the War of Resistance will be won! ”

"I can predict that Sichuan will be used as a major rear area in wartime, and Chongqing will be the top priority. Dear teachers and students, please teach with peace of mind and strive to use your knowledge and culture to contribute to the next all-out war of resistance. Fighting a war requires not only soldiers, but also science, technology, and economics. If you can use what you have learned to help the country produce military and civilian materials, you will have made a great contribution to the War of Resistance against Japan, which is far more effective than joining the army to fight. I am building a lot of factories in Sichuan, and I hope that the graduating students will come to join us enthusiastically, so that we can accumulate enough logistics for the Anti-Japanese War......"

At the end of the speech, teachers and students gathered around, scrambling to ask about the outbreak of war.

The content of Zhou Hexuan's speech today quickly appeared in the newspapers, aroused extensive discussion in the southwest region, and spread widespread rumors everywhere that the Japanese were about to declare war.

Not only that, Zhou Hexuan went down the river to Nanjing in the next half month, giving relevant speeches everywhere along the way. His purpose is very clear, that is, to constantly instill in the people: there is going to be a war, there is going to be a war!

But as long as he could scare a few capitalists and let them move the factory inward ahead of schedule, Zhou Hexuan felt that he had done a good thing.

In the first two years of the war, the factories in Shanghai alone were destroyed by the Japanese, and the direct economic losses were as high as 800 million yuan, which is too regrettable.
