In the twenty-third year of the Republic of China, that is, in November 1934, Shi Liangcai, the tycoon of "Declaration", relapsed due to stomach problems and drove to his residence in Hangzhou Qiushui Villa for recuperation. On the evening of November 13, on his way back to Shanghai by car, Shi Liangcai passed near Wengjiabu in Haining County and was blocked by Kuomintang agents under the command of Dai Li. Fortunately, Dai Li's spies had poor marksmanship, and they fired dozens of bullets in a row without a hit, so Shi Liangcai and his family took the opportunity to jump out of the car and escape. However, due to Shi Liangcai's poor health and slow running, he was eventually blocked by spies next to a small dry pond nearby, and was killed after being shot twice in the head.

-- A generation of newspaper strangers comparable to Sima Qian, the author of "Historical Records", an iron-clad literati and a righteous gentleman, has fallen!

Originally, with Shi Liangcai's prestige and status, he could have avoided the bad luck of being shot, as long as he was a little merciful in his pen, did not care too much about the reputation of the newspaper, and even as long as "the belt of his trousers was loosened" and "the money sent to the door should be collected", he could live a very decent life, and he could enjoy the glory and wealth. Who knew that he wanted to be a person who defended justice and guarded his conscience, but he was not afraid of death, and Zuihou really became a martyr.

If truth is the embodiment of God, then he is giving his most precious life to God. This is the backbone and courage of a genuine Chinese literati. Only intellectuals like Shi Liangcai can unashamedly declare: We Chinese literati have always dared to dedicate ourselves!

In comparison, the "public intellectuals" who boasted of "anti-system" in later generations can hardly be compared with them...... Therefore, Mr. Zhang Taiyan praised in the epitaph written for Shi Liangcai: "Shi's straightness. Originated from the subfish. The son inherits its flow and works hard. "Weifu is white-slashed, and his spirit is free."

Meanwhile. The storm of a new round of "cultural encirclement and suppression" also descended on the cultural circles of Shanghai once again -- the agents of the Blue Coat Society, who had been instructed to act, went on a rampage with all their might, ignoring all laws and regulations, sealing bookstores, banning progressive books and periodicals, and arresting left-wing writers and cultural workers -- these were very famous or relatively wealthy; Letters of warning to other left-wing writers and cultural workers, who are not well-known and from poor families; There are also many right-wing intellectuals who have also suffered from the fish in the pond -- because they are not well-known enough. But there is money......

As for those bookstores that look more magnificent, as long as they don't have a strong backer, they will all be smashed without discussion. Even the money on the counter was looted. Even many of the newspaper boys who walked the streets were beaten to the point of bleeding for peddling progressive publications.

In just a few years, under the erosion of power and wealth. The Blue Coat Society is no longer the group of Whampoa young talents who were worried about the country and the people.

-- Blue Coat Society. Officially known as the "China Renaissance Society", it was an informal organization within the Kuomintang that got its name from the blue uniform of the Whampoa Military Academy. It first originated in the early thirties of the twentieth century, and was composed of some Whampoa military academy students, who believed that Japan's war of aggression against China was imminent, and the country was still suffering from internal troubles and civil strife. Therefore, the four parties contacted and lobbied and united a group of aspiring young people in the Kuomintang regime to form an association in an attempt to overcome the crisis of the Japanese invasion and stop the corruption and degeneration of the Kuomintang. Shouldering the responsibility of saving the party and the country. The historical mission of resisting foreign aggression.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Blue Coat Society, it was once highly motivated and disciplined. In the corrupt political arena of the Republic of China, a breath of fresh air was blown; Externally, it is a storm of clean government, and the sharp edge refers to corrupt officials and corrupt officials, Japanese criminals and traitors. As far as the anti-Japanese resistance is concerned, Ma Zhanshan, the leader of the Northeast Volunteer Army, was escorted to Outer Mongolia by the Blue Coat Society, thus preserving the fire of the Northeast anti-Japanese liliang. In addition, the Blue Coat Society also fought a bloody battle with the Japanese on the Great Wall and suffered heavy losses.

But the problem is that just as the famous Chinese Dragon Group eventually became a retreat for officials who lost power and a place for the "second generation of officials" and "third generation of officials", the Blue Coat Society also rapidly transformed after gaining great power, and all kinds of people in society were mixed in......

Of course, in 1934, the Blue Coat Society was far from rotten on the whole, and it was still a very effective organization. But the problem is that those who are really motivated, willing to work hard, and want to make a career either join the secret service and go to North China to compete with the Japanese traitors, or join the Biedong team, and take a large number of newly recruited "temporary workers" to slaughter "traitors in bandit areas" in various Soviet areas, causing all kinds of tragedies...... As for the guys who stayed in the rear of Shanghai and "enjoyed life", most of them were young masters who had no motivation and couldn't endure hardships -- "there is work for temporary workers to do, and leaks are poked out for temporary workers to carry the black pot", this is not the patent of our party, but follows the old wisdom of the party-state......

Of course, in the beginning, the Blue Coat Society in Shanghai also had to suppress the workers' movement. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has fought wits and courage, and has maintained a certain combat effectiveness. But soon, as the underground party organizations in Shanghai were completely smashed and the Central Bureau fled to Jiangxi in a hurry, the Blue Coat Society in Shanghai was idle. With the exception of the helpless progressive writers, they have no worthy opponents for the time being...... So he indulged greatly.

Some of the "open-minded" members of the Blue Coat Society began to toss and turn indiscriminately, did not do their proper work, and even showed their heads in public, and had to get involved in everything -- the dispute between Chinese medicine and Western medicine, between simplified and traditional Chinese characters, and between the lunar calendar and the Gregorian calendar...... It's just going to mix up I don't know how many inexplicable gossips. As for those "ideologically backward" people of the three religions and nine ranks, they are even more devoted to the great cause of making money, and they come to almost everything from drug trafficking, gun sales, ticket kidnapping, and land enclosure...... The Blue Coat Society in Shanghai has basically been tossed into an "official gangster group with a very academic style".

This kind of smoky chaos will not be purged until Dai Li takes power, but Dai Li is only the director of the secret service department of the Blue Coat Society at this time, specializing in dirty work such as assassination, and he does not do it very neatly - for example, when he assassinated Shi Liangcai, he somehow brought out a group of snipers with the worst marksmanship in history, and almost made trouble to the point of capsizing in the gutter...... Of course, spies can't be trained in a day......

For the above reasons, Chairman Chiang "gave a slight warning." It was implemented by the Blue Coat Society in Shanghai as a "fortune action". Many literati who are not members of the "Left-wing Writers' Union" have unfortunately been shot in this round of "cultural encirclement and suppression" because of their wealthy families......

Thereinto. Including the "standard-bearer of women's liberation" who has emerged in recent years, and Ms. Jin Qina, who advocates women's rights and women's self-reliance.

-- According to the investigation of the agents of the Blue Coat Society, first of all, this woman fled alone from the Northeast, her in-laws died, and she was abandoned by her husband, so she could be said to have no relatives in Shanghai. One has no power and two backgrounds, and there is no worries about doing it; Secondly, the woman owns a rental apartment building. And most of the tenants are foreign bigwigs, and it is common for them to spend all their time drinking and squandering in the ten-mile foreign market...... It can be seen that Jin Qina's own family property should also be quite rich, and it is worth starting.

Even better, her home is located in Nanshi, Huajie, Shanghai. It is a site belonging to the Shanghai Special City of the National Government. A search can be carried out at any time -- if the other party lives in the concession, it will be very troublesome to get through the patrol house in advance in order to prevent a diplomatic dispute......

…… Belch? At the moment, there is no evidence of this woman's "collusion"? Hehehe, your question is ridiculous! Please, we Kuomintang people have always been very innovative, not only can convert the radar into a fish tank (after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the real thing when receiving the surplus equipment of the US army). And even such a strange red bandit as the "red slave owner" can be "invented...... Is it still worried that you can't concoct a "female red bandit"?

So, "Mr. Qiong Yao" Jin Qina was on the list of prey of the Blue Coat Society. became a big fat sheep about to be slaughtered.

However, Jin Qina herself does have neither power nor background, but by her side, there is a group of professional traversers who can be called decisive in killing.

What's even worse is that the leaders of this group of professional traversers are not only from the "red bandits" with strong roots, but also have a style of acting that advocates violence, pays attention to "fighting with arms, not fighting", likes to "speak with bullets" very much, and has even killed more than 100 million people by direct and indirect means......

As a result, an unprecedented disaster was instantly detonated by these spies. It fell on the head of the Blue Coat Society and even the entire Kuomintang regime.

-- Therefore, just as His Excellency Chairman Jiang Zhongzheng, the "perfect man through the ages," who "opened up the territory on the map," "saved the country through the diaries," and "left an empty space," was sitting in the luxurious living room of the Nanchang camp, reading with great joy the good news that "Shi Liangcai was killed" and the good news of the fifth encirclement and suppression of the vanguard troops of the Eastern Route Army to attack Ruijin, he did not know that the death omen star that belonged to him had risen behind him for decades......

―――――――――――――――――――――――

On the day of the crisis, everything in the home of "Mr. Qiong Yao" Ms. Jin Qina seemed to be as quiet as ever.

After getting up in the morning, doing a little activity on the balcony, and drinking a glass of honey water, Ms. Jin Qina, "Mr. Qiong Yao", walked into the dining room with two large brown paper document bags, ready to wait for today's breakfast to be ready, and at the same time use this gap time to deal with some readers' letters.

In recent times, her "literary career", or "plagiarism of masterpieces", has been going well.

Following the book "Tianzhu Hot Wind Record", which describes the feat of "the best diplomat in history" Wang Xuance in India, "one person destroys one country", and became an instant hit in the Shanghai Tang literary circle, "Mr. Qiong Yao" Jin Qina made persistent efforts and launched the next historical novel "Han Dynasty and Rome". In this novel, she mainly describes a series of civilization conflicts and exchanges that broke out in the late Western Han Dynasty, between Chen Tang, a hard-boiled diplomat who shouted "Those who commit strong men in the Western Regions, even if they are far away", and the remnants of the ancient Roman Crassus Legion who drifted across the Eurasian continent to the Western Regions, as well as the collision of the two shijies in the East and the West...... This novel subject, which also embodies national pride, has unsurprisingly caused another sensation. The ancient city of Lixuan in Gansu Province, which is said to have housed the descendants of these ancient Roman legions, has also become the object of conversation among Chinese and foreign readers in Shanghai for a period of time.

However, seeing that a female writer who originally wrote grievances and romances and had a short family turned into a historical military work full of masculinity, there were naturally many sour people in the literary world who took the opportunity to ridicule her, and wrote an article criticizing Jin Qina as "a chicken in the morning" and "against incest......

Of course, Jin Qina has already been trained on the Internet in later generations, and she doesn't take these painless ridicules seriously at all.

Meanwhile. The comic "Sanmao Wanderings", which deeply reflected the social reality at that time, also sold well in the bookstore where it was consigned, and even the top names in the literary world such as Lu Xun and Ba Jin read it. also gave good comments, which made the reputation of "Mr. Qiong Yao" go to the next level.

Now, the high-spirited Ms. Jinchina is plagiarizing or "rewriting" the once popular historical military novel "Shuo Feng Feiyang" in the future, the main content of which is to describe the golden age of the Tang Dynasty, when the invincible Tang heroes went on expeditions to foreign lands during the most high-spirited years of the Chinese. Heroic epic of Megatron Persia...... However, the vigor and pride of the ancient Chinese in literary works cannot hide the pale and humiliating burdens of modern Chinese in real life—for example. In a letter from a young student reader, Kinkina read the following complaint:

“…… What saches me the most is that in my own country, the Japanese people are so arrogant and unreasonable. It's a shame on us. I didn't dare to go to the North Sichuan Road because of the drunken Japanese sailors there. He has always regarded Chinese as fish and meat. If we meet on a narrow road and give you a disservice, or even stab you, then what can be done! I'm afraid that in the future, even the freedom of speech will be interfered with by foreigners......"

“…… I don't dare to go to that place in the Hongkou Japanese Concession either......" Jin Qina sighed and folded the letter paper, and said to Professor Yang, who was also waiting for breakfast at the table, "...... Look at the miserable situation of poverty and weakness in China and the rampant foreigners in this era, and then recall the beautiful scenery of the giant dragon taking off a hundred years later. It's really embarrassing! The same Chinese, the same land. Weishenme will have such a big difference? ”

“…… What's the solution? If you are backward, you will be beaten, and being weak is a sin, and this truth has never changed. Professor Yang pursed his lips, "...... Our generation does not have to face the same miserable situation in which our revolutionary forefathers lived, but we also have our own responsibilities. If we fail to fulfill the tasks entrusted to us by the times, China will suffer misfortune. If we repeat the mistakes of the late Qing Dynasty, become complacent, covet the peaceful pleasures of our own territory, gradually become corrupt and degenerate, have no interest in foreign affairs, indulge in drunkenness, and forget the passion for hard work and adventure, then there is no doubt that one day we will suddenly find that the most humiliating scenes of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China have been repeated on our heads once again - not to mention that there are still so many people in China who dream of leading the way for foreigners. Help kill your own people! ”

He said with some resentment, "...... In short, any nation that fears war, closes off its country, and covets peace and pleasure will surely decay in the face of the attacks of other warlike and adventurous nations. To forget war and revolution is tantamount to betrayal, tantamount to suicide! ”

“…… The Chinese of this era have never forgotten war, on the contrary, they have too much experience in war. ”

Jinchina raised an eyebrow and retorted, "...... From the founding of the Republic of China to the present, when has there been a day when the land of China from the south to the north has not been at war? The War for the Protection of the Law, the War for the Protection of the Country, the War of Zhiwan, the War of Zhifeng, the Northern Expedition, the Second Northern Expedition, the Jiang-Gui War, the Great War of the Central Plains, and the Civil War between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party...... It's too much to count. Even Shanghai, which is known as the golden nest of sales in troubled times, fought three major wars in less than ten years from the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War, the Northern Expedition War to the 128 Incident. In these days, Chinese who have never experienced war or war in their lives are probably even rarer than pandas......"

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, "...... You see, a reader here sent a letter and asked a question that had plagued him for a long time, which probably means: We Chinese have fought so many civil wars, and the soldiers are all sharpened by licking blood with knives. Since the end of the Japanese intervention in the Soviet Revolution and the end of sending troops to Siberia, the Japanese army has not fought much for many years, and the ranks are full of recruits who have never seen blood. Why is it that in the Northeast, on the Great Wall, and in Shanghai, even if our veterans of a hundred battles have several times the number of troops, they still can't beat the rookie recruits of the Japanese? ”

“…… If this question is given to Chairman Chiang, his answer must be 'guns are inferior to people, and guns are inferior to people.' However, the ordinary infantry equipment of the Japanese army is not necessarily much stronger than that of the Chinese army in this era. Professor Yang replied, "...... The real flaw lies in order! ”

“…… Order? Please be specific. Jinchina blinked, "...... It sounds very esoteric and very doorway. ”

“…… Order is the most important core rule for the birth of human civilization, and there is no civilization without order. Throughout history, those races that are strong and do not obey order have often lost to those who are weak but respect order. This is the unshakable way of heaven - order triumphs over chaos! ”

In response to this question, Professor Yang showed his enthusiasm for teaching in the university and talked about it with great interest, "...... For example, I once saw in a documentary that a black hunter in the African savannah, with only a rudimentary spear, can scare away a large group of lions that are eating with his ferocity, and then calmly take the prey from the lion's mouth. And the lions, who seemed to be fierce and majestic, could only silently watch the group of more ferocious blacks return with their spoils, and they did not dare to have the idea of counterattack and revenge. ”

“…… However, such ferocious and terrible Africans could not find their place in the forest of Shijie powerhouses at all. When the Western colonizers came, they simply couldn't put up a decent resistance, far worse than the seemingly mild-mannered Indians. What about weishenme? In addition to the jishu factor, it is the race that does not obey the order because it is strong, and it can't beat the race that is weak but respects the order! (To be continued......)
