303 [Chance Encounter]

In the blink of an eye, his daughter was about to be full moon, and Zhou Hexuan thought of more than ten names, but he was not satisfied. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In desperation, Zhou Hexuan could only find a helper. For example, Wang Guowei, Chen Yinke and other masters of Chinese culture are excellent candidates for names, and their names have both connotation and force.

It was another Friday, and Zhou Hexuan took the train to Tsinghua University to teach, visiting several masters along the way.

The driver drove Zhou Hexuan and the Sun brothers to the station, and as soon as the three of them got off the train, they saw a rickshaw rushing towards them.

Lu Xun carried a large suitcase, lit a cigarette in the early summer breeze, and then walked into the train station alone with the suitcase.

Long gown, flat head, one-word mustache, and distinctive appearance.

Zhou Hexuan recognized Lu Xun in the crowd at a glance, and he walked over with a smile and greeted: "Hello Mr. Zhou!" ”

"You are?" Lu Xun looked back in surprise.

"My surname is Zhou, and my name is Zhou Hexuan." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

Lu Xun was a little surprised, shook hands and said: "I have admired the name for a long time, and I am fortunate to meet it." ”

Zhou Hexuan asked, "Mr. Zhou, is this going to Beiping?" ”

Lu Xun nodded and said, "My mother is in poor health, I'll come over to visit." ”

After Lu Xun left Beiping, he had been paying for his mother and wife, and these bills were later published by researchers.

In April alone, Lu Xun's mother's medical expenses were six times, and she also bought several old hens (stewed chicken soup), which shows that her physical health is not optimistic.

Lu Xun was so frightened that he hurriedly went north, not only to visit his mother, but also to inform Xu Guangping of the news of her pregnancy, and use this incident to make her mother happy.

Sun Yonghao helped to buy a train ticket, and by the way, he also bought Lu Xun's share.

Lu Xun did not refuse, and while standing in the waiting room and waiting, he said: "What do you want to express in the last chapter of your book "Guns, Bacteria and Steel"? ”

"It's just a personal opinion." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

Lu Xun asked directly: "Do you support Chang Kaishen's dictatorship?" ”

"What do you think?" Zhou Hexuan asked rhetorically.

"It doesn't seem like it." Lu Xun frowned.

Zhou Hexuan said unabashedly: "My evaluation of Chang Kaishen is only eight words: dictatorship is incompetent, democracy is immeasurable. Such a person is more than enough to rule one province, and if he wants to govern the whole of China, he does not have the ability. ”

"Dictatorship is incompetent, democracy is immeasurable......" Lu Xun pondered this sentence.

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "Looking at what Chang Kaishen has done in the past two years, I know that he wants to practice dictatorship like Mussolini in Italy." But unfortunately, he can't even fully control the Kuomintang, let alone the warlords everywhere. His usual tricks are nothing more than assassination, bribery, forming gangs, and favoritism, and he is more like a gang leader than a national leader. How can I support such a person? ”

Lu Xun agreed with Zhou Hexuan's evaluation, and he wondered: "Then why do you say in the book that China should be a one-party dictatorship and intra-party democracy?" ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled bitterly: "Whether you agree or not, Chang Kaishen is the most capable person to unify China today, even if it is nominally unified." Only with a unified Chinese government can we effectively carry out international diplomacy and normalize China's international status. For example, the resumption of customs, concessions and consular jurisdictions. Only a unified Chinese government can carry out reforms in various fields at home, promulgate perfect laws and regulations, and develop the country's economy, industry, agriculture, and commerce. It is impossible for Chang Kaishen to practice a multi-party system, so he can only pin his hopes on intra-party democracy. ”

Zhou Hexuan could not explain the China of later generations, but could only focus on the current form.

"Don't want such a unity!" Lu Xun was obviously a little angry when he heard this. He hated Chang Kaishen extremely much, because he had a few good friends, and he died under the butcher's knife of Chang Kaishen's Qing Party.

Zhou Hexuan shook his head and said: "When there is an invasion of foreign enemies and China is in a matter of life and death, it is rare to have a unified government. Even if this government is corrupt and incompetent, it can at least rally the people and call on the Chinese to resist. ”

"Foreign enemies?" Lu Xun remembered Zhou Hexuan's "Chrysanthemum and Knife", "Do you really think that the Japanese dare to defy the world's condemnation and brazenly launch an invasion of China?" ”

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "The basis of Japan's rights and interests in Manchu and Mongolia is the so-called leased land of Kwantung Prefecture, that is, Lushun and Dalian in China. These were received from the Russians, and there was only a short lease of 25 years on official documents. Before the expiration of the concession in 1934, the Japanese would either withdraw from Tohoku or invade China, and there was no third possibility. Based on Mr. Zhou's understanding of the Japanese, how do you think they will choose? ”

Lu Xun smoked a cigarette and was silent.

It was the first time he had heard that the Japanese-occupied Lushun and Dalian had leases that expired in only five years.

Lu Xun has many Japanese friends and has a very deep understanding of Japan. In his view, it was impossible for Japan to give up its vested interests, and it was bound to take the means of armed invasion of Northeast China before 1934.

Without saying anything all the way, Lu Xun smoked frantically on the train, and the smoke choked the people next to him.

It was not until he arrived at Beiping Station that Lu Xun said to Zhou Hexuan: "Perhaps, the affairs of the Northeast can be resolved through diplomatic means, and it is not necessary to resort to war." ”

Zhou Hexuan sighed: "China is about to fight a civil war, and this civil war may be an opportunity for Japan to invade Northeast China. If the Feng army enters the pass, the Kwantung Army will just take advantage of the weakness to enter, and even if the Feng army does not enter the pass, the Kwantung Army will most likely attack, but it will only be sooner or later. ”

"You are too arbitrary, who can predict what will happen in the future?" Lu Xun was still lucky, he did not dare to imagine the terrible consequences of the outbreak of war between China and Japan.

"We'll see." Zhou Hexuan didn't bother to say more.

Several people left the station and stood on the side of the road waiting for the rickshaw, but they waited for a long time and could not see a shadow.

Zhou Hexuan inquired with passers-by and learned that the rickshaw drivers in Peking were on strike.

Since the victory of the Northern Expedition and the relocation of the capital to Nanjing, Beiping has rapidly declined, and it can be said that all industries have withered. In less than two years, more than 1,500 shops in Peking have closed, and the market is in a depression.

With tram competition outside and exploitation by car dealers inside, coupled with the depression of the general environment, it is almost impossible to survive. They can only unite to go on strike, hoping that the car dealership will reduce the share of money, otherwise they will not be able to feed their families at all.

At this time, the officials in Beiping had never thought about it at all, and they did not have the ability to develop Beiping well.

Because the situation is too complicated!

Beiping was nominally Yan Xishan's territory, but the mayor was Feng Yuxiang's man, and Yan Xishan only appointed the director of the public security bureau. In addition, the director of the social bureau and the director of the health bureau were recommended and appointed by Chang Kaishen and his wife respectively. The director of the land bureau is Bai Chongxi's person, the director of the public utility bureau is a person from the old faction of the Kuomintang, and the director of the finance bureau was Feng Yuxiang's quartermaster before......

It can be said that the small Beiping Municipal Government is the epitome of the chaotic political situation in the Republic of China today.

The mayor wanted to make a difference, but he had been put on the back burner and had just said he was sick a few days ago and was no longer at work.

By the way, Li Shizeng's education fund of 300,000 yuan per month was also cut off.

At the beginning, Yan Xishan embezzled the money from the Tianjin tariff and salt tax to distribute education funds in the name of the Beiping Municipal Government's finances. But just a month ago, the Nanjing government reached an agreement with the foreigners to snatch the Tianjin Customs and the Changlu Salt Administration.

After Yan Xishan lost a big source of wealth, how could he still be willing to make a loss-making deal? Depressed, he cut off the education funds of the Peking University District.

Li Shizeng ran out of money again......
