Zhou Hexuan, Lu Xun and the four brothers of the Sun family walked from east to west to Qianmen Street. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lu Xun hadn't been back to Beiping for three years, he looked at the familiar and unfamiliar street scenes, listened to the street vendors shouting about business, and couldn't help but sigh: "Beiping is still so lively." ”

"It's just that the place close to the station is lively, and if you go further into the city, you will find that there are a lot of withered everywhere," Zhou Hexuan shook his head with a wry smile, "After all, this is no longer the capital of China, and a large number of institutions and personnel have moved to Nanjing." ”

"It's conceivable." Lu Xun said.

The early summer is a good day, but the sky in Peking is gray and yellow.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, flying sand and stones, and Zhou Hexuan, who was about to speak, had a mouthful full of sand and hurriedly spit out: "Ahh ”

"Hahaha!"

Lu Xun laughed: "I haven't smelled the choking smell of Beiping dust for a long time." ”

is different from Zhou Hexuan's impression, he found that Lu Xun loved to laugh very much, and he didn't keep his face tense all the time.

Zhou Hexuan took out a handkerchief, tied it behind his head, covered his mouth and nose, and said: "My ideal Chinese government can organize manpower and material resources to plant a large number of trees in northern, northwestern, and northeastern China, and cultivate artificial shelterbelts that spread for thousands of miles." At that time, the sandstorms in Beiping will disappear without a trace, and the air will be as clean as in the south. ”

Lu Xun disagreed: "It's just a little dust, why make a fuss, there are really such manpower and material resources, it is better to use it to improve people's livelihood." ”

Zhou Hexuan pointed to the north and said: "The sand and dust in Beiping originates from the desertification of the northern grasslands. If it is not treated, the desert area will become larger and larger, and perhaps one day, even Beiping will be covered by desert. It's not just about taking a few breaths of sand, it's about the agricultural economy of the north and the livelihoods of countless herders and farmers in the north. Just like the flooding of the Yellow River, tackling desertification and controlling the Yellow River flood are both basic matters that the government should do. If one day, the central government can effectively manage the desert and the Yellow River, then this government is worth supporting. ”

Lu Xun listened thoughtfully, he usually cared about the national ideology and the actions of politicians, while Zhou Hexuan preferred to consider practical issues.

After walking for a while, he came to the middle of Qianmen Street, Lu Xun pointed to the shop and said, "It's almost noon, you invite me to take the train, and I invite you to lunch." ”

"Okay," Zhou Hexuan joked, "There are three of us here, and we have taken advantage of it." ”

Lu Xun asked: "Are these two friends your attaché?" ”

Zhou Hexuan explained: "Bodyguards, they also saved my life. The year before last, the younger brother of the warlord Chu Yupu assassinated me, and this Yongzhen brother helped me block a shot and almost hit the heart. ”

"But he is a righteous man." Lu Xun praised.

Sun Yongzhen scratched his head and smirked: "Mr. provides food for the foreheads, and it is appropriate to block the gun for Mr." ”

Lu Xun has always felt that Zhou Hexuan is very eccentric, obviously a literati and scholar, but like politicians and warlords, he goes out with two bodyguards. Obviously very close to some warlords, he has a belly of political strategy, but he has always refused to become an official.

However, there are too many wonders in the Republic of China, there is no shortage of Zhou Hexuan, and Lu Xun didn't think too much about it.

Everyone went upstairs, picked up a window seat and sat down, Lu Xun said: "The bean juice here tastes very good......

"Don't," Zhou Hexuan hurriedly interrupted, "I can't get used to that thing, just have a bowl of fried noodles." ”

Lu Xun had no choice but to order three bowls of fried noodles, asked for a bowl of bean juice for himself, and added a plate of pickles. He took a sip and said intoxicatedly, "It smells and smells, it's still the same." ”

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "In my life, I'm afraid I can't drink bean juice, and I want to vomit when I smell it." ”

"Then you are really in vain to be a person from Zhili, I will invite you to drink Shaoxing's rice wine when I have the opportunity." Lu Xun chewed on pickles and said.

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "I miss Jinhua's ham even more, I haven't eaten it for many years." ”

"You don't seem to like pen fights with people," Lu Xun put down his chopsticks and said, "Last time I wrote an article to scold you, you didn't scold you back, which caused me to wait for a while, and the typed manuscript was invalidated." ”

"Haha," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile, "I'm too lazy to fight with a pen, really speaking." I'm a pragmatist and don't do meaningless things. Unless it's actually good for me, I simply don't waste my energy writing swearing. ”

"You are honest," Lu Xun said, "but many of today's Chinese people are asleep, and if they don't scold loudly, they won't wake up." ”

Zhou Hexuan said: "If you should wake up, you will naturally wake up, and if you can't wake up, I'm afraid you're pretending to be asleep, and you will never wake up a group of people who are pretending to be asleep." ”

"That's a good sentence," Lu Xun nodded, "People who pretend to be asleep can't wake up." What is hateful is that these people who pretend to be asleep still occupy the big house, so that those who really wake up have no place to stand. Mr. Zhou, you are hostile to Japan, but it is undeniable that the Japanese have a lot to learn from us. Their national nature is serious, and they carry out the people who pretend to be sleeping and throw them away. Our national character is to get by, and to turn a blind eye to those who pretend to be asleep. ”

Zhou Hexuan swallowed a mouthful of fried noodles and said: "In fact, the situation in Japan is worse than that in China. You can go to the Japanese countryside and see that many of the people there are worse off than the Chinese peasants. Japan's strength is based on the exploitation of its people. ”

Lu Xun said: "If the exploitation of the people can make China strong, I will be the first to be exploited voluntarily." It is a pity that Chinese politicians only exploit their citizens to make themselves strong. ”

Zhou Hexuan was silent, speechless.

It took a long time for Zhou Hexuan to say: "There are too many smart people in China, everyone has their own ideas, and everyone thinks they are right." Sometimes, I wish there were more fools in China, so that I could go somewhere. Just like Japan, their strength is actually going in the wrong direction, but it does not affect their strength. ”

"Why is Japan going in the wrong direction?" Lu Xun asked.

"Japan's strength and prosperity are deformed," Zhou elaborates, "Since the Meiji Restoration, Japanese factories have sprung up like mushrooms, especially after the European War, and Japan's industrial output has increased exponentially. Factories are open day and night, ports are constantly flowing, and production, trade, and prosperity are the common impressions of Japanese people about their country. At the same time, the Japanese countryside was devastation, the peasants did not have enough to eat, and it was not uncommon for them to sell their children and daughters. Is Japan really strong? Not. More than half of Japan's factories are engaged in the textile industry, and its domestic market is narrow and heavily dependent on export trade. In the event of turmoil in foreign markets, the Japanese economy will collapse immediately. If all Chinese insist on not buying Japanese textiles for half a year, four or five out of ten Japanese capitalists will go bankrupt. ”

To be serious, a boycott of Japanese products was feasible in the Republic of China, because Japanese products were too homogeneous and heavily dependent on the Chinese market.

Lu Xun took out a cigarette, handed one to Zhou Hexuan, lit it by himself, swallowed the clouds and said in "The Rise of a Great Power", the United States will have an economic crisis this year, and even affect the whole world. If this is the case, will Japan not collapse? ”

"Yes, Japan's economy is absolutely going to collapse," Zhou Hexuan said, smoking a cigarette, "so Japan will inevitably invade China, because only war can transform domestic contradictions and attract the attention of the Japanese people." ”

There were two direct reasons for the Kwantung Army's invasion of Northeast China and the September 18 Incident: First, the Lend-Lease Contracts in Lushun and Dalian were about to expire, and second, Japan's domestic economy had collapsed, and war had to be used to transfer contradictions.

After the outbreak of the economic crisis in 1929, to what extent did Japan collapse?

There are even many "villages without young girls" in Japan, because peasants cannot survive and have to send their daughters out to work as prostitutes.

There was a report in the magazine "Women" that in order to survive the famine year, 397 young girls were sold to brothels, and there was no trace of them in the village.

The report shook the whole of Japan, and the Yamagata Prefectural Government Office defended that it was true that 397 women went out, but only 109 were prostitutes.

However, the turmoil in Yamagata Prefecture has not subsided, and Corn Village and Shimomura in Akita Prefecture, and Akinomiya Village in Yukatsu County...... and other villages, because a large number of young girls have become prostitutes, and have become the target of media coverage.

Later, the "village without young girls" could no longer attract attention, because it was too commonplace, and a large number of villagers committed suicide with their families became a new hot topic of public opinion.

Until 1935, the height of Japanese women regressed, the average height was only 1.48 meters, and the average life expectancy of men fell to 44 years. Even many urban women in Japan have taken off their Western-style tops and skirts and changed to kimonos to hide their bony calves.

Japan's aggression against China was not just clamored by a handful of militants, but reached the point where it would not be possible to do without fighting. Only by fighting a war can Japan's domestic contradictions be transformed, and the operation of the military-industrial complex and foreign plundering can be used to save the collapsed economy.

Not to mention that the Japanese people were innocent, every Japanese at that time enjoyed the dividends of the war of aggression against China, and they could not even afford to eat without a war.
