On the first day of coming to Shanghai, Zhou Hexuan spent time at Xu Zhimo's house, and in the afternoon, he also participated in the party of the Crescent Society. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The next day, Zhou Hexuan went to the Shanghai branch of Ta Kung Pao again, saying that it was an inspection, but in fact he just wandered around casually.

Compared with "News" and "Declaration", "Ta Kung Pao" is too shabby: others have built their own permanent newspaper buildings, and "Ta Kung Pao" is still renting a house for office; Others use new rotary presses to print newspapers, and Ta Kung Pao still uses inefficient old printing presses.

There is no way, you can only develop slowly, and you can only play big when you have money.

However, the purchase of advanced equipment is a must, and after discussing with Zhang Jiluan, Zhou Hexuan decided to pay for the "Ta Kung Pao" headquarters and the Shanghai branch to purchase a rotary press each. Not only can it improve efficiency, but the printed newspaper will also be more beautiful, and the layout will be much less noisy ink.

On the third day, Jiang Baili and Zhang Junmai came to visit at the same time, which made Zhou Hexuan extremely surprised - they are all awesome characters!

"Coffee, please!" Lu Xiaoman came out with coffee to entertain him personally, and then retreated to the side to sit with Zhang Leyi.

There were five men in the living room, namely Zhou Hexuan, Jiang Baili, Zhang Junmao, Xu Zhimo and Zhang Jiazhu.

Everyone first chatted about poetry creation, and ridiculed Xu Zhimo for falling into the mortal world, and Xu Zhimo smiled and let everyone ridicule him.

Xu Zhimo, who has always been sad and sad, pursues romance, suddenly published a new poem "Life" two months ago. The content is gloomy, dark, oppressive and depressing, and if he changes his previous style, it simply does not look like a poem written by Xu Zhimo.

This rich and noble brother seems to have finally realized the helplessness and hardships of life.

As the poems chatted, Zhang Junmai suddenly turned the topic to politics, saying: "Ming Cheng's discussion of China's political system in 'Guns, Bacteria and Steel' is really very much to my liking. ”

"It's just nonsense, and it's impossible to achieve it in today's China." Zhou Hexuan smiled bitterly.

Jiang Baili suddenly interjected: "I also agree with socialism, but it is too difficult to implement. Socialism can be regarded as an ideal, and once an ideal encounters reality, it will inevitably encounter many contradictions. There must be a way to resolve the contradictions, but we must stick to the principles. Take the Three People's Principles as an example, it is also an ideal, and there are contradictions, but it is unwise for the Kuomintang to abandon its ideals in order to solve the contradictions! ”

Well, they're all like-minded.

Whether it is Jiang Baili or Zhang Junmai at this time, they are all socialists.

This is thanks to Liang Qichao.

Liang Qichao was one of the first scholars in China to put forward the idea of socialism, and from 1918 to 1919 he organized a European expedition in which Zhang Junmai and Jiang Baili were members.

They saw first-hand the lives of Europe's lowest people: destitute, struggling to survive every day, just like the poor in China.

They also saw the contradictions of European society: the gap between the rich and the poor was huge, and the workers went on strike every now and then.

After returning from Europe, Zhang Junmai and Jiang Baili became believers in socialism, believing that Europe's liberal capitalism would end sooner or later.

The difference is that Zhang Junmai was clearly opposed to communism, while Jiang Baili was well-intentioned towards communism.

Jiang Baili even helped Qu Qiubai, Geng Jizhi, Zheng Zhenduo and others, and supported them in translating many Russian classics, which were published by the "Gongxue Society". Just listen to the name of this publishing house and you will know what they are promoting.

After listening to Jiang Baili's words, Zhang Junmai sighed with emotion: "Yes, today's Kuomintang has abandoned its ideals. They shouted the slogan of the Three People's Principles, but they played the game of dictatorship. My magazine, New Road, has always scolded the Kuomintang, and I don't know when it will be shut down. ”

Zhou Hexuan laughed in his heart: If it weren't for Zhang Junmao's own brother, who is now in charge of the Bank of China and Chang Kaishen's money bag, the book "New Road" would have been finished long ago.

Zhang Jiazhu suddenly said: "In fact, the Kuomintang is still much better than the Beiyang warlords. ”

"You know a fart," Zhang Junmai criticized his younger brother angrily, "The current middle- and lower-level party members of the Kuomintang have completely deteriorated. Look at what that Chen Dezheng is doing? He spends his days blaming the Kuomintang dictatorship, biting like a mad dog, and helping Chang Kaishen to create a fanatical personality cult in the newspapers. At present, many articles discussing practical issues cannot be published in the southern region, which is a sign that the road of speech will be closed. ”

Zhou Hexuan had to admit that Zhang Junmao's eyes were too keen.

Some people say that freedom of speech in the Republic of China is pure nonsense, and both the Beiyang government and the Nanjing Nationalist government advocate speech control.

Not to mention anything else, Zhang Junmao's magazine will be seized next year, and he himself will even be kidnapped.

As we said earlier, Chen Dezheng is a saint warrior.

How did this person write an article to scold Hu Shi out of the country? He wrote his own articles to scold, and led other literati of the Kuomintang to scold together, but Hu Shi's rebuttal articles could not be published normally, so he could only passively withstand the attacks of the Kuomintang royal literati.

Xu Zhimo was very righteous at every critical time, and only Xu Zhimo's "Crescent" magazine dared to publish Hu Shi's articles at that time, but the result was that the "Crescent" magazine was seized, and the poets of the Crescent Society withdrew from the group one after another, and this poetry group gradually declined.

Well, that's next year as well.

As for forcing Lu Xun to hide in a Japanese bookstore, it was even more force. Chen Dezheng first wrote articles criticizing Lu Xun and characterizing him as a "reactionary literati", and before Lu Xun could write an article to refute it, he had already mobilized people to arrest him.

Jiang Baili said helplessly: "Don't talk about the Kuomintang, only talk about academic topics today." ”

Zhang Junmai said: "I think that in order to achieve socialism, we must first establish a political party. Use the political party to move to the center of power, and then slowly implement the socialist policy. ”

"Brother Junmai, Xiucai rebelled, and it won't be possible for ten years." Zhou Hexuan reminded.

Zhang Junmai said: "I don't want to rebel, I want to follow the party line. ”

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "The Kuomintang wants a one-party dictatorship, and you form another party, and it is also a regent party, in their opinion, it is to rebel." ”

Zhang Junmai said angrily: "What Ming Cheng said in the book "Guns" is not exactly to support a dictatorship? It is in line with the appetite of the Kuomintang. ”

"The one-party dictatorship I am talking about is an ideal state, and the premise is that the party has a strict administrative program and executive power," Zhou Hexuan said, "but unfortunately the Kuomintang does not meet the conditions at all, their executive power is frighteningly low, and their party program is just empty words." ”

"Therefore, we still have to take it step by step," Jiang Baili expounded his point of view, "socialism is the ultimate goal, and the conditions for the implementation of socialism in China are not enough, and we must first take the capitalist road." Although capitalism has come to an end, its mode of production development is still effective, and it is necessary for China's rejuvenation. I believe that capitalism should be developed in China first, and then it should be reformed step by step into socialism. ”

Zhou Hexuan's forehead was sweating, whether it was Zhang Junmai or Jiang Baili, the advanced nature of his thinking was extremely terrifying. Although the political views of the two men are slightly different, they are basically in line with the development path of Britain and France in the next few decades, and even the future situation of China.

Zhang Junmao's thinking has been evolving, and by the end of the 20s, he had gradually agreed with Jiang Baili's views just now. He gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Baili, Brother Mingcheng, since we are like-minded, it is better to form a socialist party today." I've got the name in mind, and I want the 'National Socialist Party'! ”

Socialist ...... It looks like Hitler's Nazi Party, but it is translated as the National Socialist Party.

However, Zhang Junmao's National Socialist Party is obviously the "National Socialist Party" in its full name.

Zhang Jiazhu said excitedly: "Form a party, I want to join." ”

"Let's play!" Zhang Junmai scolded.

Zhang Jiazhu muttered in a low voice: "You still treat me as a child, you are an adult." ”

Jiang Baili smiled and shook his head: "I don't want to join any political party, and I have no interest in politics, don't find me, brother Junmai." ”

Zhou Hexuan also said: "I'm the same as Brother Baili. ”

Xu Zhimo was silent, and Zhang Junmai didn't count on Xu Zhimo, he sighed and said: "Socialist China, it's difficult!" ”

Jiang Baili saw that the atmosphere was not right, and immediately changed the topic and said, "Mingcheng, how is Mr. Ren Gong's health?" ”

"It's getting worse and worse, and I was in the hospital for a few days last month." Zhou Hexuan said.

Jiang Baili said: "He is tired. The last time he founded the Peking Library, he was sick and edited most of the tomes, and he was directly hospitalized, and his condition has deteriorated since then. ”

Zhang Junmao, Jiang Baili and Xu Zhimo are all equivalent to Liang Qichao's students. Zhang Junmai didn't mention any political parties anymore, and suggested: "Anyway, everyone is idle and has nothing to do, so it's better to wait for Mingcheng to return to Tianjin, and everyone will go to visit Mr. together." ”

"That's a good idea!" Xu Zhimo responded immediately.

Zhou Hexuan naturally agreed, and Liang Qichao was indeed running out of time.

Zhou Hexuan asked Zhang Junmai and Jiang Baili for Mobao on the same day, and prepared to leave for Nanjing on the second day. As a result, the train tickets had already been bought, but I suddenly heard a news - "The Goddess", "Dog Official" and "Dog Official Biography" (the content after waking up from a dream) were seized by the Shanghai Party Department of the Kuomintang.

At the same time, more than a dozen other books were seized, all of which were realistic works that exposed social problems.

And the initiator who presided over the ban on books was the mad dog saint warrior Chen Dezheng.

I have to say that Chen Dezheng is full of energy, this person scolded the news newspaper last month, then the Japanese, and last month he began to scold Yu Qiaqing and the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce. Now that he has not finished scolding the chamber of commerce, he has come to scold literati including Zhou Hexuan again.

Chen Dezheng in history, from 1927 to 1930, he has scolded more people in four years than others have made in a lifetime.

As for the final ending, it made people angry, Yu Qiaqing even said directly in front of Chang Kaishen that he couldn't wait to "eat his flesh and sleep on his skin". As a result, this person was placed under house arrest by President Chang for three years, expelled from the party, and never hired.

Chen Dezheng was poor in the second half of his life, and pinned all his hopes on his son. Well, he is still very powerful, and he trained his son to become an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in New China.
