016 [Big Wedding]
Later generations of Chinese students majoring in journalism must have heard about Shao Piaoping's name. He is the pioneer and founder of China's journalism theory www.biquge.info the founder of China's first news agency.
Lu Xun wrote scolding articles all his life, but he never dared to scold the warlord, because he knew that his life would be in danger. Some people questioned that he didn't dare to scold the warlord, and some people instigated him to scold the warlord, Lu Xun's response to this was: These people have ill intentions and want to trap him!
Shao Piaoping is a warlord, and the warlords of the Beiyang government are basically scolded by him. The "Beijing Daily" 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 and greed of the Beiyang government.
At the end of last year, Shao Piaoping went through Zhang Zuolin's bad deeds in a special issue of "Beijing Daily". Zhang Zuolin took out 300,000 yuan to bribe Shao Piaoping, hoping that "Beijing Daily" could speak for himself. Shao Piaoping immediately returned the money and continued to scold Zhang Dashuai as always.
Finally, Zhang Zuolin couldn't bear it anymore, and after trapping Shao Piaoping, he was secretly shot in the early morning of April 26. At the time of the execution, Shao Piaoping said to the officers and soldiers who shot him: "You are exempt. Then he looked up to the sky and laughed, and calmly went to his death, at the age of 40.
Shao Piaoping's death was only the beginning, and then newspapers and magazines such as "Beijing Daily" and its supplements, "National News" and its supplements, and "Yuxi" were seized one after another. This frightened many newspapers in the Pingjin area to suspend publication on their own, and those who did not stop publishing did not dare to tell the truth.
Lin Baishui, a well-known patriotic newspaperman, kept a low profile for a while, but then he couldn't hold back and continued to write articles accusing the Feng warlords, and as a result, he was also arrested and shot. Only left a suicide note: My life is in an instant, and I can't talk about family affairs for a while...... If you love your daughter to study hard, you must be extra cautious when choosing a son-in-law in the future. But the telegram knew that Lu Er went home to take care of it, and Xiaolin and Baoyu lived in harmony...... I have not done anything bad in my life, and God should bless my family.
Many progressives in the Pingjin area were on the wanted list of the warlords, some of whom were killed, some of whom hid and hid, and some of whom fled south, and the political atmosphere in the northern region was extremely grim.
Scholars, writers, and celebrities who are not wanted simply can't stand this backwater. Including Lu Xun, everyone went south one after another, and most of them went to the southern national government.
Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Dashuai, who were also famous all over the world some time ago, have become notorious because they held up a butcher's knife in Beiping.
Some people have benefited from this, such as Liu Fugong, the owner of the new Tianjin newspaper department.
Because several major newspapers in the Pingjin area ceased publication one after another, the "New Tianjin Daily" and "New Tianjin Evening News," which were not involved in politics, seized the opportunity to occupy the market, and the sales of the newspapers directly doubled in a short period of time. Zhou Hexuan's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has also been known to more readers with the newspaper's best-selling popularity, and it has become famous in several northern provinces.
People don't dare to talk about national politics, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, East Evil and West Poison, and Jiangnan Seven Monsters have become hot spots after tea and dinner. Even the cross talk artists under the overpass have made up the characters in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" into jokes.
In this bloody storm, Chu Dashuai in Tianjin finally married his fifth aunt.
The wedding was Chinese-style and extraordinarily heavy. The welcoming procession received the bride from Nanshi, Tianjin, beat gongs and drums all the way into the concession, and held a feast in a hotel run by the British.
Many celebrities and gentry in Tianjin came to congratulate them, and many foreign devils also came to join in the fun. Just the gift money of the guests, Chu Dashuai received more than 600,000 oceans, not including antique calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver jewelry.
Among them, Du Xiaoshan, the owner of Nanshantang, who is famous for his charity, gave 30,000 silver dollars plus a jade mountain alone. This gentleman actively raised military funds for Chu Yupu, and finally got Chu Yupu's appreciation, and even swore with Chu Dashuai as a brother, and he could take a rickshaw to enter and leave the office of the superintendent (Chu Yupu's office address).
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Second worship high hall!"
"Husband and wife worship each other!"
In the British hotel, foreign devils watched the Chinese wedding with great interest. After the ceremony, there were even foreign women chanting "Happy Newlywed" in foreign language, and the scene was jubilant, in stark contrast to the slaughter in Beiping and Tianjin.
Zhou Hexuan and the attachés of the Marshal's Mansion sat in the corner, and there were some Tianjin government officials nearby. Further away, wealthy businessmen and celebrities, foreigner consuls, and generals under Chu Yupu also gathered two tables.
Chu Yupu is also an unruly guy, after worshipping heaven and earth, he directly reached out to lift the bride's hijab, and then laughed: "His grandmother has a leg, today is my big day, everyone eats and drinks well, and the rotten uncle is not drunk!" ”
"Mighty and mighty!" Chu Yupu's generals and cronies chanted first, followed by other guests.
Chu Dashuai originally wanted to invite Mei Lanfang to sing, but unfortunately Mei Lanfang learned the news in advance and took a boat to hide in Shanghai to perform. This made Chu Yupu very faceless, clamoring to give Mei Lanfang a good look.
Zhang Wukui held a pig's foot in one hand, ate with a mouth full of oil, and raised a wine glass in the other hand and shouted: "Drink and drink!" Da Shuai said, today's rotten uncle is not drunk. ”
Zhou Hexuan raised his glass and took a symbolic sip, silently observing the people around him.
The herald Jia He and his master Shen Yaorong clinked glasses again and again, but the adjutant Chu Nanxiang didn't drink a drop of wine, and only sat there with his waist straight and ate food.
Zhou Hexuan thought to himself: If he wants to make trouble or escape in the Dashuaifu, no one else should worry, the only thing to be wary of is this Chu Nanxiang.
At noon, there was a Chinese-style wedding banquet, in the afternoon the troupe performed lively, and in the evening there was a Western-style dinner party - Chu Yupu wanted to take the opportunity to establish a good relationship with foreigners.
Zhou Hexuan ordered a tuxedo in advance, a big man with a height of one meter and eight meters, coupled with his handsome appearance, he looked extremely chic. He was turning 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!" ”
"Dashuai, what are your orders?" Zhou Hexuan hurriedly ran over to answer the errand.
Chu Yupu was dissatisfied: "I still want you to be a translator tonight, what are you running around?" Follow me! ”
"Yes." Zhou Hexuan honestly stood next to him and waited, but his eyes glanced at the bride.
The bride is an actor from the Tianbao class, her stage name is Xiaoqing, and she is also dressed in Western clothes at the moment. She is about fifteen or sixteen years old, tall and tall, and looks a bit like the female star Li Bingbing in later generations, pure and a little gorgeous, but her breasts are a little too small.
Chu Yupu took the fifth aunt, Zhou Hexuan, and Master Shen, walked towards a bunch of foreigners with a wine glass, and laughed: "I'm Chu Yupu, everyone is happy tonight!" ”
Zhou Hexuan was about to translate, but he heard the foreign devils congratulate him in Chinese: "General Chu, I wish you a happy marriage." ”
Well, there is nothing to do with him at all, and Zhou Hexuan is also happy.
