Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 492: Going North? The road to saving the country is complicated!
One day at the end of March.

A ragged, haggard and dirty woman suddenly appeared at the Tokyo dock.

She walked unsteadily, and when she passed by the streets, even the porters would cover their noses and stay away from her.

When walking on the street, people made way for me as if they were avoiding the god of plague.

But there are still some ruffians who want to come and provoke this woman.

Mainly because the woman looked sloppy.

But she had a good figure, and even through the thin linen clothes, you could see her enviable curves.

Soon someone came up with the idea of ​​selling the woman to the brothel in exchange for a good sum of money.

In the eyes of many sharp-eyed thugs, this woman has the potential to become a "Taifu" (equivalent to the ancient Chinese courtesan).

As long as you take it home, clean it up and dress it up, you can definitely sell it for a good price in some famous arcades in Tokyo.

In this era, no matter which country, the lower class people, both men and women, are regarded as walking commodities.

The latter is even more tragic.

"Hey! Stop it, bitch!"

A thug jumped out from nowhere, with a face full of scars, and blocked the woman's way with a playful smile.

Without hesitation, he poked the woman's body, especially some sensitive parts, with his tattered samurai sword.

"Hehehe, your foundation is not bad, but it's a little smelly. Come with me and I'll let you have enough food!"

He made no secret of his greed for women's bodies.

In the next step, the thug wanted to use the handle of the knife to lift up the woman’s clothes to see what was going on.

Unexpectedly, the hilt of the knife was grabbed by the woman, and that dark and filthy little hand burst out with unimaginable power.

The ruffian suddenly became annoyed and said angrily.

"What are you doing? Who allowed you to grab a samurai's sword? You lowly person!"

The thug was hysterical, but the woman remained motionless.

He suddenly felt ashamed. Many poor people and workers around him used to keep their distance from him, and now he was humiliated by a woman?

"Go to hell! You bastard!"

The thug shouted loudly and immediately wanted to draw his samurai sword to attack.

But the woman, who was originally hunchbacked and shaky, was not as afraid as expected, nor as fragile as expected.

Her movements were much faster and more powerful than those of the thugs.

He actually snatched the samurai sword away.

Cleanly and neatly, with a "snap" sound, he used the handle of the knife to chop the gangster's shoulder hard.

A "whoosh" sound was heard breaking through the air.

The rascal fell to the ground in an instant.

For a moment, I felt as if my shoulder had been cut off, and the entire shoulder seemed not to be my own.

He was shocked and immediately looked at his shoulder. He was relieved to find that it was still there.

The thug's face was distorted, and he lay on the ground and cursed: "Baga! How dare you, a stinky woman? Do you know who I am?"

But before he could utter any harsh words, he saw the ferocity in the woman's eyes.

It was a murderous look, and it made people feel uncontrollably terrified.

"roll!"

The cold voice immediately made the gangster shiver.

He felt that he was no match for his opponent, so he immediately stood up and ran away in panic.

Before leaving, he did not forget to make some harsh remarks.

"Will our Black Dragon let you go? Just wait and see!"

After the thugs left, the crowd watching the excitement immediately dispersed.

There were many who coveted the woman, but they immediately gave up the idea.

He even dared to hit Taro Yamada, who was notorious in the area?
God knows where she comes from!
Many people even have evil thoughts.

Perhaps, in a few days we will be able to see this woman’s stripped body?

It was mid-March.

After roughly finishing his affairs in Hangzhou and Suzhou, Bao Guowei was finally ready to leave the south.

Previously, due to pressure from Jinling, he had to leave the country and travel to Europe to temporarily avoid the limelight.

But after going out and exploring the world, things are no longer the same.

Bao Guowei was like a piece of gold that had been stripped of its filth, shining brightly in the international arena and even attracting the covetousness of many powerful countries.

Immediately, Chiang Kai-shek, who was originally prepared to launch an attack, forgot the previous "grudges" and became more polite to Bao Guowei.

In particular, the article "Small Island Economics" was deeply loved by Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek's bottom line can be flexibly adjusted.

When Bao Guowei's influence spreads throughout the world and can even influence a country's policies, the previous speech issues will no longer be a problem.

Even though Bao Guowei was a little left-leaning, Chiang Kai-shek could still tolerate him as long as he did not explicitly express his support for the Bolsheviks.

"Everyone makes mistakes. Bingwen is still young and will always take detours. I think he can still be saved."

Moreover, Chiang Kai-shek had fought a life-and-death battle with Hu Hanmin during the Nanjing struggle.

I can't take care of anything else.

Therefore, Bao Guowei did not have to leave the South, but he now had reasons to go to the North.

On the one hand, many matters in the south have been arranged, and he basically does not need to worry about them.

On the other hand, if he wanted to prevent the tragedy that would happen in the next few months, he had to go to the north and negotiate with the Fengtian warlords.

As for getting to know more famous masters in the north, that is a natural thing to do.

The serialization of The Return of the Condor Heroes is gradually coming to an end.

Bao Guowei had already written the subsequent chapters and handed all the manuscripts to the two editorial departments, becoming a hands-off boss.

As for the subsequent publishing matters, Bao Guowei naturally handed them over to Li Shoumin and Huang Bohui.

This is the advantage of coming to the Republic of China, that is, you can trust the people you employ.

After knowing a person's life story, Bao Guowei can, to a certain extent, give him a great deal of trust.

Compared to writing articles every day, lying down and seeing the money coming in is also a great enjoyment.

Of course, Bao Guowei's expenses are also very high.

It established a penicillin production base, secretly invested in various national heavy industries, and established a student aid foundation and some charitable organizations.

As for the latter, Bao Guowei did not undertake it himself, but handed it over to Du Yuesheng.

Nowadays, in addition to doing business, Du Yuesheng also does charity work.

Bao Guowei had previously joined the Hongying Foundation founded by Ye Hongying and Huang Yanpei.

In short, there are so many things to do and we have to take it one step at a time.

Bao Guowei's ability alone is limited, so it would be better to gather more strength.

For example, he was thinking about when to introduce the "unscrupulous cannon" into the country.

This type of artillery shell, also called "flying thunder cannon", was invented during the Anti-Japanese War because of insufficient firepower.

The main principle is to fill the gasoline barrel with propellant and throw the explosive pack out.

It is simple and convenient to make, and the damage is also extremely considerable.

Considering the current domestic equipment level, the Unscrupulous Cannon is definitely one of the best weapons to resist the Japanese invasion.

As for matters like weapons and equipment, Bao Guowei planned to meet Zhang Xueliang after arriving in the north and discuss the matter with him, which might help.

Of course, there is one person who cannot be forgotten.

George Orwell, who came to China with Bao Guowei, officially settled in Shanghai.

Bao Guowei couldn't take him with him all the time, so he found Huang Bohui and arranged for George Orwell to become a columnist for The Times.

He was still in the process of learning Chinese, so Huang Bohui simply opened an English column for him.

As the sales of The Times increase, some foreign readers and readers who have returned from studying abroad also need to be taken care of.

It's not something that is forced.

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

George Orwell was happy with the job, after all, he was ostracized everywhere in Britain.

His next goal is to write the two works well and live up to Bao Guowei's expectations of him.

Everything was arranged properly, and Bao Guowei and Zhang Nianyue simply packed their luggage.

According to Zhang Taiyan's personality, he chose an auspicious day and boarded the train to Peking.

The train first arrives at Jinling from Suzhou, then goes north along the Shanghai-Nanjing Line, Jinpu Line, Pingfeng Line, passing through Jinling, Quancheng, Tianjin and other places, and finally arrives in Peiping.

The entire journey takes approximately twenty hours.

Peking University had long coveted Bao Guowei and sent several letters in succession, urging Bao Guowei to take up the position.

From the Dean of the School of Arts Hu Shizhi, to Qian Mu, to Liu Bannong, and the President Jiang Menglin.

Everyone wrote to urge Bao Guowei to go to Peiping as soon as possible.

The letter contained sincere words, saying that all Peking University teachers and students had been looking forward to Mr. Bingwen's arrival, and Mr. Bingwen must not disappoint the students.

Bao Guowei was speechless for a while, but thinking that Peking University had already started school for a long time, although he was busy, it would not be a good idea to delay taking up the post, so he decided to go there early.

At the train station, Zhang Taiyan, Tang Guoli and Lao Bao, three parents, saw the two off to the train.

As he was leaving, the ageing on Zhang Taiyan's face became more and more obvious, but even so, he couldn't help nagging.

"After you arrive in Peking, communicate more with your useless senior brothers. Their influence is not as great as yours, but they are quite accomplished in various fields.

Besides, you have a lively personality and often cause trouble. If you get to know your senior brothers better, you can take care of them."

Compared with Lao Bao, the real father, Zhang Taiyan, the master and father-in-law, seems to be much more verbose.

Old Bao just put his hands in his pockets and spoke to the two newcomers with a smile.

"It would be best if you two are well, eat well and sleep well, and bring back a big fat boy for me and my in-laws."

In response to the concern of his elders, Bao Guowei agreed to them one by one.

All good things must come to an end, especially after you start a family, even family members cannot always be together.

Seeing these elders, Bao Guowei became more motivated.

His trip to the north this time was in the hope of preserving more of these beautiful things.

The journey was long, and there were no mobile phones or movies in that era.

After boarding the train, facing a nearly one-day journey, Bao Guowei could only read some books or novels to pass the time.

Cao Yanhai was naturally inseparable from him. Zhang Taiyan originally wanted to let Gao Weixin follow him, but was finally rejected by Bao Guowei.

With his current skills, together with Cao Yanhai, he is more than capable of fighting with fists and feet.

In this era, having too many people is not necessarily a good thing.

Bao Guowei followed the train along the way, stopping and walking from time to time. He finally had time to stop and read the latest newspaper.

"Hey! The government is in chaos right now!"

After reading the latest newspaper, Cao Yanhai couldn't help but sigh, and there was a hint of gloating in his words.

What he held in his hand was not a domestic newspaper, but the Continental Daily.

This is a newspaper opened by Americans in Shanghai. It mainly introduces some Western culture and the latest news, and also includes some current political situations in China. It is mainly aimed at foreigners in China.

Recently, the Nationalist government has stepped up its control over the cultural sector, especially by intensifying searches of some bookstores and newspapers, such as Beixin, Qunzhong, and Lequn, which have all been closed down.

Therefore, many sensitive news stories are not dared to be reported by any newspaper.

If ordinary people want to see some information and news, they can only get it from foreign media such as "Continental Daily".

Cao Yanhai and Zhang Nianyue both learned some English while traveling around Europe with Bao Guowei. Combined with their usual studies, they no longer had any difficulty reading original English newspapers.

Zhang Nianyue looked over and found the news in the newspaper a little frightening.

"Hu Hanmin is under house arrest by Chiang Kai-shek, and China's political situation is turbulent!"

There is no catchy clickbait title, but the content of the first half of the sentence alone is surprising enough.

Bao Guowei glanced at the newspaper and couldn't help but say.

"Old Chang finally couldn't help it. Now the situation in the south will become even more tense."

Zhang Nianyue couldn't help but be a little surprised: "You sound like you knew it a long time ago?"

Cao Yanhai recalled that more than a month ago, Bao Guowei heard about the domestic situation and suddenly asked him to collect information on Hu Hanmin, Wang Zhaoming and others.

Find out their latest news.

Could it be that the master really has the ability to predict the future?
Bao Guowei smiled and pretended that he had guessed it, and briefly explained the whole story to the two of them.

"So, the cause of the incident was that Hu Hanmin, as Mr. Sun's most loyal supporter, had always been firm in Mr. Sun's policies, but this conflicted with Chiang Kai-shek's interests.

If he wanted to do more and realize his dictatorial rule in the National Government, he had to get rid of Hu Hanmin.

But getting rid of Hu Hanmin would inevitably cause a huge uproar, as he is extremely prestigious within the government."

Zhang Nianyue’s reading comprehension ability is getting stronger and stronger now, and he gave a brief summary of the matter in an instant.

"Yes." Bao Guowei nodded and said, "Now that Hu Hanmin has been placed under house arrest, there will definitely be big moves within the government, and those who oppose Chiang Kai-shek will not sit idly by."

"Chang Kai-shen deserves it!" Cao Yanhai said with great relief. "This old guy is not a good person. He has made a lot of money for his brother-in-law and his family. He is definitely responsible for the suffering of the people in China!"

Zhang Nianyue was more perceptive than Cao Yanhai. She frowned and said.

"I'm afraid this won't be a good thing, right?"

"It can't be a good thing." Bao Guowei sighed and said. "Chiang Kai-shek is bad, but the people who oppose him are not good people either.

The struggle between the two will inevitably lead to internal friction.

Now that the Central Plains War has just ended, China can be said to have suffered severe damage.

If there is another fight, I wonder what the scene will turn into.

The Japanese in the north are ready to make a move. Now is not the time for internal fighting!"

Speaking of this, Bao Guowei felt a sense of powerlessness again.

"But it would certainly be a good idea for us to go to Peking now."

Through what she heard and saw, Zhang Nianyue also gained some understanding of politics. After listening to Bao Guowei's simple analysis, she began to make her own summary.

"Oh? Tell me more."

Bao Guowei was a little surprised, but he still looked at his wife with a smile, waiting for her analysis.
