It sounds like a reasonable requirement, but whether it's true or not, Manager Wang can't be sure. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoJust as he hesitated, Kobayashi Akiyama, who realized that the situation was not good, rushed over from the side of the printing house with five or six of his men. found that the "Declaration" did not start normal sales, and immediately asked his subordinates to incite the newsboys to make trouble.

"We want a newspaper today! A little later, other newspapers will be sold, and once they are preempted, who will pay two dimes to buy the declaration! ”

"Give us the newspaper! We want to live! ”

In order to prevent the "Declaration" staff from ignoring the newsboy, Kobayashi Akiyama also asked his subordinates to quietly lean forward and try to directly snatch a batch of today's "Declaration". As long as you can get some finished products in your hands, you can use them as evidence for Japanese-funded newspapers to reprint, and when the time comes, the "Declaration" will not be able to clear the suspicion even if it jumps into the Yellow River, and it must be the first to publish the black cauldron of Huang Haoran's martyrdom.

"Hey, who are you? How can you grab it......! ”

Kobayashi Akiyama's thugs touched the window and immediately crawled into the store, and the staff of "Declaration" reacted and immediately pushed these people out of the window, and Manager Wang finally saw that something was wrong.

"Quick, close the window, and the back door, close it immediately!"

"Poof", "poof"...... Someone got stabbed! The little devil made a move, and in an instant, several employees of the "Declaration" fell in a pool of blood. Luckily, the store has an old-fashioned commercial layout with high counters, and the Japanese are generally shorter. Although a few people were stabbed down by the little devils, the wooden sticks supporting the wooden windows were still taken down by the people of the "Declaration", and the heavy wooden planks smashed down heavily, smashing the two devils stuck on the counter to the point of spitting blood on the spot.

"Yaga!"

As soon as this sentence came out in Japanese, Lu Fang was even more sure that this incident was manipulated by the Japanese behind the scenes. Thinking of the former president who was assassinated by spies and the days when the publication had to be suspended under the suppression of the Japanese, Lu Fang completely broke out.

"Lao Wang, are all the newspapers in this room?"

"Yes! Yes! What are you doing? Manager Wang answered the question first out of conditioned reflex, and then noticed Lu Fangfang's hideous expression, and was really taken aback.

After seeing the answer he wanted, Lu Yifang jumped up on the pile of newspapers, rushed to the corner of the wall, picked up the kerosene lamp used by the staff for night patrol, smashed it directly on the ground, and then began to pour the newspaper onto the kerosene that flowed out.

"Burn, burn them all, and don't leave a single piece of paper for the Japanese!"

"That's right! Right, right! I'm still stunned, why do you help, there are still some in the cabinet, take them all out! ”

So, the staff of the "Declaration" in the store department were busy, igniting the ignition and pouring oil. The flames soon rose to a high pitch, and then people began to unpack bundles of newspapers that still had the smell of ink.

The ink and paper were flammable, and with the help of kerosene, the fire in the house was too big to control after a short period of effort. Lu Fang beckoned Manager Wang and the staff to leave through the back door, but he quietly fell behind. After Manager Wang in front of him rushed out, Lu Yifang immediately closed the door, and then shouted to Manager Wang through the door:

"Lao Wang, leave me alone, let people go to the patrol police, you must drive the devil at the front door away! I was inside until the newspaper burned out! ”

Manager Wang was stunned, the store department is only a hundred or ten square meters of space, there are tens of thousands of newspapers piled up inside, and the house is a brick and wood structure. Don't talk about fire, even the smoke can smoke people to death! Lu Fangfang is going to be martyred......

It was he who stood for the way he adhered to as an editor and a journalist.

"Lao Lu~"

This shout contains too many emotions in it, and people can't help but burst into tears.

"Let's go! Copy guys! Follow me to the front door and fight with the little devil~"

This group of powerless literati were stimulated by their colleagues in the flames, and they smashed down two devils with daggers with bricks and sticks.

After the bloody battle, when they looked back at the store, the entire building was completely in flames, burning like a giant candle.

30,000 copies of the newspaper were burned, and on November 7, 1938, the "Declaration" ceased publication!

I don't know who was the first to cry, and soon, outside the fire, the crying rang out......

***************************************

At five or six o'clock in the morning in Shanghai, the alleys are already full of people brushing their teeth and washing their mouths, carrying toilets and running around. The men who worked for foreign companies went to work in suits after breakfast, and these employees with better pockets were the best customers of the newsboys, and only they would be willing to pay two fiat dollars for a newspaper printed with lead letters

If it is a shantytown on both sides of the Suzhou Creek and in the Zhabei area, there will be no business for rickshaw pullers, hawkers, beggars and the disabled.

The grass shed there is very simple, the skeleton is made of bamboo pieces, a few reed mats are spread, a roll is rolled on the spot, and the straw rope is used to climb, and people can only drill in and out of it, so it is also called "rolling dragon". If there are two fiat dollars, it will only be immediately exchanged for stomach-filling food, news or something, which is worthless to them.

"Extra! Extra! Chinese star Huang Haoran died on the battlefield~ Look at today's "Far East Times"! ”

"Tongwen Daily News, today's news, the star has fallen, the second-class general of the army Huang Haoran was martyred, and the whole city of Wuhan mourns~"

Paperboys don't know what politics is, but they know how to make the newspaper in their bag a bestseller. Although most of them are illiterate, they will also take the time to listen to the people in the newspaper distribution department to say the highlights of today's news, and then use them when they are selling. This is a skill that life forces them to develop, and a newsboy who can speak well will have a much better life.

"Little Red Guy~ What nonsense are you talking about! Didn't yesterday's newspaper still say that China and Japan were locked in a fierce battle in Wuhan and that they could not advance or retreat? Why did it only take a night to do it, and the main generals were all harmed by the Japanese? Bring me a copy of today's newspaper, and if I find out that you kid is trying to sell more newspapers and talk nonsense, I won't spare you!" ”

It seems that the one who spoke had not been a boy before. Exaggerating and exaggerating the news, making small things big things big and big things blowing to the limit, such things happen on the streets every day. Customers know they might be fooled, but they can't help but buy a newspaper. In the days after the fall of Shanghai, reading books and newspapers was one of the few leisure activities for Chinese. It's just that today's newsboy's words sounded too intimidating, and it had already caused the displeasure of many customers.

In the more than a year since the start of the war, the performance of the Chinese army on the battlefield has been rather bleak, and Huang Haoran, Xue Yue, and Chief Li are the few generals who can bring excitement to the Chinese people. Among them, Huang Haoran has the lowest background, the least qualifications, and the most legendary story. Compared with figures like Chief Li and Xue Yue, who have long been famous, Huang Haoran belongs to civilian idols, is extremely popular, and has attracted the most attention. The newsboy actually said that he was martyred, and if this was a gimmick that he came up with to sell newspapers, then the person who came up with this method was really stupid.

"Sir, I don't dare to lie, although I am a small character, I have also heard a lot of legendary stories about General Huang...... Who can't tell you the truth, he's still my idol...... Give you the newspaper, in black and white, and see for yourself......" (To be continued.) )
