With the escalation of the war, the number of foreign warships in the Huangpu River and the Yangtze River estuary increased to 27.

As long as the war spreads to the concession, these warships will take the protection of the concession as their primary task, and once the concession is breached, they can evacuate their own nationals as soon as possible to ensure the safety of their own people.

As a matter of fact, many important foreign figures in the concession have been transferred to warships.

Western countries put pressure on the Beiyang government to immediately stop the war in Shanghai.

On January 15, 1925, the Beiyang government convened a cabinet meeting and issued three orders on the Shanghai issue.

Article 3 stipulates that Shanghai is an important place for trade and a miscellaneous place of Chinese and foreign affairs, and that there will never be troops stationed thereafter, and no more military organs shall be established.

However, this order could not stop the war, Duan Qirui of the Anhui system and Zhang Zuolin of the Feng department were not of the same mind, Zhang Zuolin did not want to give up the good situation, he wanted to master the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.

Even if he can't occupy it, he can negotiate terms with Duan Qirui of the Anhui system in exchange for control of other regions.

On January 28, 1925, after conquering Kunshan, Suzhou, the Feng army arrived at Shanghai North Railway Station, and the next day, Zhang Zongzhuan led more than 10,000 troops to Shanghai and occupied Xujiahui Railway Station and Nanshi.

Sun Chuanfang's Zhejiang army withdrew to Longhua and Songjiang.

The armies of Zhejiang and Feng confronted each other in Xinlonghua and Xujiahui, and the war fell into a stalemate.

On February 3, Sun Chuanfang and Zhang Zongchuan signed an armistice agreement in Shanghai.

Sun Chuanfang was ordered to hand over the arsenal and retreat the troops near Shanghai within 3 days, Sun Chuanfang retreated to Songjiang, and Feng's army retreated to Kunshan, and ordered his subordinates to stop military operations on the same day.

At this point, the Second Jiangsu-Zhejiang War ended.

The signing of the armistice was a relief to the whole of Shanghai, which had been in a state of war for nearly two months, which had led to the stagnation of commerce and heavy losses, not to mention casualties and damage to buildings.

Newspapers estimate that the damage inflicted on Jiangsu and Zhejiang by the two wars will take at least 10 years to recover.

Also because of this war. The Beiyang government decided to establish Shanghai as a special city, which did not belong to Jiangsu or Zhejiang, and decided to establish a Songhu special city with 22 townships in Shanghai and Baoshan counties as regions.

It is equivalent to the municipality of later generations.

Refugees are returning to their homes one after another. The warlords are fighting for territory, and it is the people who suffer in the end.

The concession returned to its former life, and Lin Zixuan received many letters from Beiping.

During the war, information was not available, and many letters to Shanghai were lost or delayed, including manuscripts for the New Moon magazine and Modern Review, so Xu Zhimo in Peking had to remail a copy.

Most of these letters were letters of condolence, worried about Lin Zixuan's safety in Shanghai.

There are also some letters that are more interesting. He was asked to persuade Hu Shi, and he read the letter to understand that Hu Shi was going to attend the "aftermath meeting" organized by Duan Qirui.

This involves the dispute between Sun Zhongshan and Duan Qirui.

Sun Zhongshan went to Beiping and proposed to convene a national conference to convene all sectors of society to discuss the state affairs.

Duan Qirui's proposal for the aftermath meeting is to safeguard the interests of warlords and politicians, and to put it bluntly, it is a spoils sharing conference.

Hu Shi was also invited as a celebrity.

In his reply, he said: "I am a person who has advocated a peace conference for two years, and I still believe that it is better to study the solution of the current situation in a conference style than to fight it well with arms; So I have a lot of doubts about the aftermath meeting this time. But he was willing to give him a try. ”

Hu Shi's attitude aroused dissatisfaction in the cultural circles of Beiping, and even many of his original friends severely criticized him.

Lin Zixuan was quite speechless. Hu Shi is a difficult person to evaluate, he is more stubborn, and he will do what he thinks is right.

When Sun Zhongshan fell out with Chen Jiongming in Guangzhou, he supported Chen Jiongming and criticized Sun Zhongshan, believing that Sun Zhongshan wanted revenge. Smashed Guangzhou.

When Feng Yuxiang kicked Fu Yi out of the palace, he ran to the palace to meet Fu Yi and protest against the violence.

I don't know how many times he has been criticized for this, but he still goes his own way.

If it weren't for his fame enough, I'm afraid someone would have troubled him a long time ago.

He advocated new ideas and new cultures. Advocating the Western system, he is a new-style figure, but he has the scholarly atmosphere of a traditional literati, which can also be seen as a pedantic side.

Therefore, human beings are a synthesis of contradictions, and there is no such thing as black and white.

In the spirit of friendship, Lin Zixuan wrote a letter to Hu Shi, persuading him to withdraw from Duan Qirui's aftermath meeting, although I don't know if it has any effect, but just do your best.

In January 1925, the Commercial Press's Women's Magazine published an album entitled "New Sexual Morality", which caused social controversy.

Women's Magazine, edited by Zhang Xichen and Zhou Jianren, competes with Vientiane Books' Family Magazine.

Zhang Xichen worked as an editor at the Commercial Press for nearly 15 years, first assisting Du Yaquan in editing Oriental Magazine.

In 1919, Zhang Xichen took over the "Women's Magazine" and became the editor-in-chief, and with the assistance of Zhou Jianren, the "Women's Magazine" was reformed drastically, and the number of copies in circulation increased from the original two or three thousand to more than 10,000 copies.

Zhang Xichen is also considered an expert on women's issues.

This time, the Women's Journal's "New Sexual Morality" made a controversial point.

"If the two spouses allow a form of unchastity that is monogamous or monogamous, it cannot be considered immoral as long as it does not harm society and other people."

This means that as long as it does not endanger society and others, men and women can live as they want, as long as they want to.

This is true marital liberation and freedom.

They believe that true marriage is based on the complete freedom of relations between the sexes, and that human beings spontaneously and automatically monogamy, while monogamy in the West is hypocritical.

It is monogamy that is maintained by law and public opinion, and there is no guarantee that men and women will not betray each other.

Even from later generations, Lin Zixuan was surprised by their boldness.

During the Republican period, although the government stipulated that monogamy was required, the actual situation was that polygamy was widespread.

This argument is considered to justify polygamy, to destroy the family and to harm society.

The point put forward in this issue of Women's Magazine is actually that some feminist writers from abroad advocate sexual freedom and sexual liberation, believing that this is the equality of men and women.

Or that the spiritual equality of men and women is only through sexual liberation.

Obviously, not to mention China during the Republic of China, even later China would find it difficult to accept this view, which is contrary to the basic morality of Chinese society, especially the idea of "polyandry".

Lin Zixuan admired their courage, but he did not agree with their views.

It does not mean that the views transmitted from the West are good, but also depends on the actual situation in China, otherwise it will only mislead the Chinese, rather than truly emancipate the mind.

Moreover, it is good to talk about this kind of thing privately, and it is not right to publish it in a magazine to affect the public.

They may think they are the forerunners, but they don't know that it is not the fire that is being introduced, but the dross.

Realizing that this was a good opportunity to crack down on the Commercial Press, Lin Zixuan had his magazines and newspapers lash out at Zhang Xichen and Women's Magazine.

It's just that there is also Zhou Jianren in this matter, who is Lu Xun's third brother.

Since then, the relationship between Lin Zixuan and the Zhou brothers has become more and more estranged. (To be continued.) )
