The Republic is so violent

Chapter 7 The art of saving the country in the red light district (2)
In order to strengthen the country and wipe out the national humiliation, the first thing is to wake up the people—so a new round of cultural revival movement kicked off vigorously in China.The purpose of this movement is to vigorously promote the cultural revival movement and restore the self-esteem of every Chinese.

Amidst the rumbling guns of the Japanese and Russians, China's first women's magazine "Women's World" was launched quickly. For a while, Chinese men flocked to it like a snipe, and those who could not read and write came to see women. What does the world look like.

Opening this magazine, the name Pan Xiaohuang, a woman from Songling, caught the readers' eyes immediately.

The first article written by this gifted woman is titled "The Red Line of Chinese Female Swordsman, Biography of Nie Yinniang", which tells the story of two female knights with excellent martial arts skills in the late Tang Dynasty. In the text, Pan Xiaohuang, a woman from Songling, generously declared:

My China 2000 years ago was a chivalrous country;

I was a Chinese citizen 2000 years ago, and I was also a chivalrous citizen.

The chivalrous man is the inferior of the sage, the opposite of Confucianism, and the enemy of kings, dukes and ministers.

He pays attention to promises, despises life and death, spends money to make friends, goes through fire and water, generously promises to know himself, and never returns, never looks at it, and dies until he performs a thunderous and shocking live drama, all of which are chivalrous Effect also...

In this room, the Japanese and the Russians are fighting to the death in the three northeastern provinces of China, and the 5000 million people in the Qing Dynasty are helpless. At this time, Pan Xiaohuang, a woman from Songling, is telling stories about two chivalrous women, which is like pointing the noses of Chinese men. Scolding mothers, scolding men are all weak and confused.

When the bones were weak, the second article by Pan Xiaohuang, a woman from Songling, hit the list again. The style was still that of a stinky man with no bones. : "The Legend of the Unknown Heroine Who Bleeds for the Nation"...

Literate young people are all fascinated by this amazingly talented Songling woman. Great powers... At this time, this talented woman published two more poems in the magazine: "Crying for Tao Ya's Soul". It can be seen that this talented woman can write poems, has thoughts, and is also familiar with Chinese history, which makes many men They couldn't hold their breath anymore.

I want to get acquainted with this strange female talent.

But no one knew where Pan Xiaohuang lived, but shortly thereafter, a tourist accidentally met Pan Xiaohuang, a woman from Songling.

According to the article, the tourist was traveling in Suzhou and Hangzhou. On the way, he met an astonishingly beautiful girl, aged [-] or [-]. When he saw the tourist, he threw down a handkerchief. People are out of their minds.There is also a line of words written on the handkerchief, you can go to a certain place at a certain time... When the time comes, the tourists rush there excitedly, but it is a beautiful garden with dancing butterflies and intoxicating flowers. The beautiful girl is sitting in front of the desk under the tree, writing at the desk, and there are two young maids waiting beside her.

Seeing tourists coming, the girl asked: Are you from Shanghai, sir?
The tourist replied: Yes.

The girl said: Then, when you return to Shanghai, sir, can you do me a favor and take the manuscript to the "Women's World" magazine for me...

After this article was published, it confirmed the judgment of the readers. It turns out that Pan Xiaohuang, a woman from Songling, is indeed a beautiful girl. It's just that one day ago, thousands of courtship letters filled the magazine's room. The man swears that in this life, he will not marry a non-talented woman, Pan Xiaohuang!Even those wealthy and powerful officials who are not well known also came to join in the fun, willing to marry Pan Xiaohuang, a woman from Songling, as a concubine with a thousand taels of gold.

When the love letters flew to the magazine like a snowflake, this beautiful female talent who aroused the public's frenzy suddenly disappeared, and the gold basin was washed away, causing countless men to cry and cry, and they searched for this beauty all over the world, but there was no one. People can find her.

Pan Xiaohuang, a woman from Songling, just disappeared into the dust and smoke of history. It was not until more than 100 years later that historians found this mysterious woman among old paper piles.

So where is she hiding?
(7) I recommend Xuanyuan with your blood

More than 100 years later, historians studied Pan Xiaohuang, a woman from Songling, and were surprised to find that, except for her age, other historical materials about this woman were unreliable.

The year that Songling woman Pan Xiaohuang broke into people's memory, she was indeed only 17 years old.

However, this beautiful female talent is a man, not a woman.

This man's surname is Liu, his given name is Liu Weigao, and his style name is Anru.

At the age of 16, Liu Weigao was fascinated by reading the books of the great French thinker Lou Leng. Since then, he advocated human rights and simply changed his name to Liu Quanquan, styled Yalu.

The following year, Liu Quanquan felt that his new name did not match that of his friend Chen Qubing, so he changed his name for the third time to Liu Qiji.From then on, Liu Qiji and Chen Qubing became well-known in the literary world, and many people knew them.

From then on, Liu Qiji devoted himself to writing in order to wake up the people, and signed it as Yalu every time.But because Lu's traditional Chinese character "Lu" has too many strokes, it takes too much time to write, so he simply signed it as "Yazi".

From then on, everyone called him Mr. Liu Yazi.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong and Liu Yazi once played a song Huanxisha: singing the rooster, the world is white, Wanfang music is playing in Khotan, and the poet's prosperity is even more unprecedented... So Liu Yazi's name, finally every Chinese They are all very familiar, but no one thought that when the poet was a boy, he received close to a thousand love letters from men every day.

Pan Xiaohuang, a woman from Songling, was a pseudonym Liu Yazi used in 1904.

The reason why I use a female pen name is because young and beautiful girls are far more attractive than any big thinker... In short, at that time, Chinese men slept relatively dead, and the guns of Japanese and Russians in the Northeast were noisy If you don't move them, you can only try another young and beautiful girl.

When it comes to awakening the people, Zhou Yucai should be the most famous person. After his disastrous defeat in the Sino-Japanese War, he resolutely went to Japan to study. He studied under Mr. Fujino at Kobun College in Tokyo, Japan. At that time, the Russians dispatched troops to occupy the three northeastern provinces of China. , Tsar Nicholas II claimed to establish the "Yellow Russian Empire" in Northeast China, and further proposed territorial claims to the Qing court. The Russian Volunteer Army, many international students have signed their names to join the Russian Volunteer Army, and will go to the front line to fight the Russians to the death.

Zhou Yucai's good friend Xu Shoushang signed up for the Volunteer Army of Resisting Russia and was once incorporated into the Second Division of District B. Therefore, Zhou Yucai generously donated a poem to honor his friend. The poem said:

Lingtai has no plan to escape the divine arrow,
Stormy dark hometown.

Feeling cold, Xingquan does not notice,
I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood.

In order to further encourage young Chinese students to "throw a pen and rise up", Zhou Yucai picked up a pen, paraphrase and rewrote a "Spartan Soul", the article said:
In 480 B.C., Persian King Xersh invaded Greece.The Spartan king Lihe Nitus led three hundred citizens and thousands of allied troops to strangle the hot spring gate (Delmobil).The enemy came from the middle way, the Spartan soldiers fought desperately, and the whole army was wiped out.The soldiers are full of vigor, ghosts and heroes howl at daytime, the battle of Xipu Leidu, the great enemy is restored, so far, reading history, it is still suffocating and alive.

In short, the purpose of Zhou Yucai is the same as Liu Yazi, a woman from Songling, both of which are to cultivate the spirit of martial arts and practice patriotism.

When free translation and creation of this "Soul of Sparta", Zhou Yu felt that his name was not generous enough, so he changed his name to Shuren. This year Zhou Shuren was just 21 years old. When he used the pseudonym Lu Xun, he had already become a man A generation of masters.

(8) Shadow of the Japanese

Speaking of the Russian Volunteer Army, it is also an extremely complicated historical phenomenon. When historians talk about historical figures related to this mass organization, such as Lu Xun, Su Manshu, Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren, Chen Tianhua, etc., the main It emphasizes the fighting, revolutionary and advanced nature of this organization.

But when historians talk about other people who are in this mass organization, such as Zhang Zuolin and Wu Peifu, they usually call this organization "flower arm team", because the unified symbol of this organization is a flower towel tied on the left arm.And under such circumstances, the role of Xuanyang Society, the predecessor of the Black Dragon Society, will be mentioned as usual.

Xuanyangsha is a Russian-resisting gang founded by Touyamaman, the leader of the Japanese underworld. Touyamaman sent many beauties suffering from venereal diseases to the Russians because of his harsh methods in the confrontation with the Russians. Prostitutes, there is no exact figure to indicate how many Russian devils won the bid, but in the end, Xuan Yangsha himself was notorious for this dirty method, and had to announce its withdrawal and reorganize the Black Dragon Society.

For the Volunteer Army whose goal is to reject Russia, Xuanyangsha must of course give its full support—including support in terms of money and public opinion propaganda.

This is where things get complicated.

Rejecting the Russian Volunteer Army is undoubtedly just. Although the Russians were invited by the Qing court, aggression is aggression. There is no reason to say this.

The Qing court invited the Russians to fight against the Japanese, so the Japanese will inevitably support the Volunteers to Resist Russia, because this is in the interests of Japan...

In short, when it comes to the Russian Volunteer Army, it is inevitable that it will be involved in the theoretical vortex of the Japan-China War, which will lead to confusion among those who do not understand that period of history, and there is no way to draw a convenient conclusion.

The history is a bit too complicated for any conclusions.

Therefore, history is not suitable for simple judgments of right and wrong, history is history.

Poor historians have been made into a split personality by this history. Generally speaking, when historians mention the positive figures of this organization, such as Su Manshu, Lu Xun, etc., they emphasize the revolutionary nature of the organization , progress and justice.But when it comes to other people in this organization, such as Zhang Zuolin and Wu Peifu, they call this organization Huadangzi Team, emphasizing the shadow of the Japanese behind this organization.

What else can I do?
Simple political views and complex history collide here, so we can only bypass politics and talk about history alone.

History is like this. The Russian Volunteer Army wrote a letter to the Qing court, saying:
Zeers, king of Persia in the past, attempted to annex Greece with a crowd of [-], while Reunidas (that is, another transliteration name of Li He Ni Tuo in Zhou Yucai's writing) personally led hundreds of men, resisted the danger, and broke out. In a deadly battle, the whole army will be wiped out.Up to now, the battle of Thermopylae has been famous all over the world, and everyone who is three feet tall in Taixi knows it.In Greece, which is a mere peninsula, there are still righteous people who do not humiliate the country. Why do we have an empire of millions of square miles?

If we look at the letter written by the Russian Volunteers to the imperial court, and then at the preface to "The Soul of Sparta" translated and created by Zhou Yucai, we will find that the style of the two paragraphs is exactly the same, even some wording They are all exactly the same, such as "death battle", such as "the whole army wiped out Yan", etc., and Zhou Yucai deliberately added the word "Delmobile" under the word "hot spring gate". The relationship between the person who wrote the letter and the imperial court, and Zhou Yucai's classmate is very important.

The Xuanyang Club, which is full of mountains, is making money everywhere to fund the Chinese students studying in Japan. The anti-Russia Volunteer Army went to the Northeast and fought with the Russians. This situation made Cai Jun, the Minister of the Qing Dynasty in Japan, very nervous. He didn't know how to deal with it. Later, this old man Afraid of being blamed by the imperial court, he simply gritted his teeth and ruthlessly sent electricity to the country:

There are more than [-] overseas students who have formed a volunteer army. They are called Resisting Russia, but they are actually revolutionaries.

Well, Cai Jun, the Minister of the Qing Dynasty in Japan, is not responsible for sending this telegram.

But the Volunteers who refused to Russia were miserable. In the blink of an eye, all the patriots became criminals.

The actions of the Qing court made the Volunteer Army indignant. Only now did they truly realize that the biggest enemy of China was neither the Japanese nor the Russians, but the Manchu Qing court.So the Russia Resisting Volunteer Army was renamed the Army National Education Association. Listening to the name, it seems that it has transformed into a non-governmental education association.

In fact, the Military National Education Association has become an assassination organization and embarked on the political line of revolutionary insurrection.

When the Military National Education Association was sharpening its knives and regarded the Qing court as the enemy of China, Su Manshu, one of the founders of the organization, turned to the cultural front and fought side by side with Zhou Yucai.

(9) Yue Fei became Monkey King
A long time ago, Taisuke Itagaki, the leader of the Japanese Liberal Party, visited Europe and met the great French writer Victor?Hugo, and asked: If the ideal of freedom and equality is to be instilled among the people, what should be done?
Hugo replied: The best way is just one - let them read my novel!

Hearing this tone, it seems that Hugo, the great writer, is promoting his own book... But Hugo's wish - or prophecy, will soon come true in China.

On October 1903, 10, a chapter-style classical Chinese novel "The Miserable World" was grandly launched in the Qing Dynasty. The original author of the book was signed by the great French writer "Xiao Russia", and the translator was Su Zigu.

This novel describes a proletarian named "Jin Huajian", who was bullied and humiliated by a bully named "Man Zhougou" since he was a child. The same fate as "Jin Huajian" is an intellectual named "Fan Tong" Whenever "Man Zhou Gou" tries to insult a girl named "Kong Meili", "Jin Huajian" will stand up and fight against "Man Zhou Gou" without fear of violence, while "Fan Zhou Gou" "Barrel" tried his best to make peace between the two... Later, the protagonist "Jin Huajian" met a greedy monk "Bishop Meng", so Jin Huajian came to a full realization, and finally realized that he couldn't tell Man Zhougou clearly. Reasonable, "Simply raise up the uprising soldiers, and kill all the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty, pick those black-hearted ones"...

This "Les Miserables" is written with ups and downs, and the suspense is steep. Even if the great French writer is reborn, he can't see any relationship between this book and his "Les Miserables", but the translator Su Zigu insists that this "The Miserable World" is the "Les Miserables" written by the great writer Hugo, so although there is a "Manchurian dog" in the book, the Manchu Qing court should not think that this is ridiculing the rulers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty as "Manchurian dogs". Think about it Well, why would Hugo, the great French writer, scold your Qing government?
The imperial court was very displeased, but because the book was named after the great French writer Hugo, the imperial court had no choice but to take the translator Su Zigu.

In fact, this "Miserable World" is a new novel freely processed by Su Manshu, one of the founders of the Military National Education Association, based on Hugo's "Les Miserable World"...

Su Manshu, who lost his father since childhood, was accepted as a disciple by the elders of Huilong Temple when he was 12 years old.This person has a very simple and straightforward personality. He once traveled to the United States and met a fat woman who weighed more than [-] kilograms and had legs as thick as an elephant. When Su Man saw this fat woman, he stopped him on the street and asked: Do you want to find someone like you? fat boyfriend?

The fat girl was very shy and replied: No, I want to find someone who is thinner...

Su Manshu was overjoyed, and recommended himself: I'm very thin, how about being your boyfriend?
...I don't know if the fat woman beat Su Manshu to death...

To translate Hugo's "Les Miserables" with such a naive character, we can know that the translated work will definitely not be the same as the original work.

Jin Huajian in the novel is Jean Valjean in the original work.

Fan Tong is the police Javert in the original work.

The corrupt monk, Bishop Meng, is Bishop Bian Furu in the original work.

As for the girl Kong Meili and the bully Man Zhougou who are most involved in the reader's feelings, they are characters created by Su Zigu himself. The purpose is nothing more than to fill the hearts of the Qing court.

So this translator, Su Zigu, should be Su Manshu himself, right?

Why not!

In fact, Su Manshu's "Chinese level" is not too high. It is of course his idea to translate this book to fill the gaps of the Qing Dynasty, but when it comes to operation, Su Manshu is a little confused.

At this time, Chen Duxiu, Su Manshu's close friend, ran over, picked up a pen and continued to translate—it was said to be a translation, but in fact, the writing of this book was all due to Chen Duxiu's temperament, except for making up a character that did not appear in the original work. Gou, invented Kong Meili, a beauty who is the favorite of Chinese readers. For the development of the story, he also invented many characters that did not exist in the original work. It was not until these newly invented characters played out the whole plot that the novel barely reached the end. It's back to the original text of "Les Miserables".

In short, Chen Duxiu took such a copy of "Les Miserables", criticized the rule of the Qing Dynasty, called for armed revolution, criticized Confucius' Confucianism, and even promoted socialist ideas...

But no matter what Chen Duxiu did, Hugo’s thoughts had nothing to do with the Manchus, so in the new round of revolution in the “novel world”, Yue Fei, the hero of the Chinese nation, was finally revived...

It is said that Yue Fei woke up in the temple and said: I think that as a Chinese citizen, there is always a time to cheer up.I also heard that there are many new and strange things in Western France recently. Today, I will take advantage of the cool autumn and go to take a look. After all, I will fly to the West by cloud and crane...

This is a chapter in the "Legend of the Great Woman Huitian" published in the "National Daily". After reading this passage after a hundred years, Yue Fei is also flying like a cloud. It is really difficult to figure out what the author is writing here. Yue Fei is still Sun Wukong.

(10) Politics Simplifies Literature
According to Mr. Liu Yazi’s self-report, when he was a boy, the person he admired most was the character Jia Baoyu in "Dream of Red Mansions", and he himself always used Jia Baoyu as a model. Wherever there were many girls, he would run to wherever.Therefore, Mr. Liu Yazi created Pan Xiaohuang, a woman from Songling out of thin air, to awaken the masses, but this revolutionary style is also most suitable for him.

At the age of 12, Liu Yazi had a new idol, and no longer used Jia Baoyu as a template to plan his life.

At the age of 12, Liu Yazi began to worship Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao.

This is because Kang Youwei has a different style from Su Manshu, Chen Duxiu, and others. Whether it is Su Manshu or Chen Duxiu, they all follow the route of "using novels to oppose the imperial court". .
