Chapter 89 National Disaster
Today is the seventh day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and the eighteenth day of the ninth month of the solar calendar. There are still eight days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Now, it is close to midnight and midnight.

On this day last year, Ning Zheng published the inspiring "Mediate the Central Plains War and power on", the situation of the warlords in the country immediately became clear, and the opposition died down, avoiding more casualties between the two armies.Ning Zheng's reputation has thus reached its peak.

And this year's today is probably an ordinary day.

Feng Jiu has started school at Yanda for half a month, and there are not many subjects that need to be taken. Because almost half of the master's courses have been tested, and her grades have reached excellent, so the college has agreed to apply for some exemptions.

Her tutor, Professor Xie Dike, made a long list of books for her, hoping that she could increase her reading volume in terms of literary theory, enhance her professional quality, and follow her orders with awe.

There are only three daytime classes in a week, so usually at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Feng Jiu can come back to accompany Long Sheng and Ya Ya.Long Sheng has been enlightened. Apart from the one-hour traditional culture class every day, he also starts to learn arithmetic, painting, calligraphy and other courses.Yaya followed suit, pretending with two fat faces.

The old gentleman invited to give lectures to Longsheng was Cui Junsheng, a former Fengtian Juren who had moved to Beiping. Mr. Cui was very kind, and he was very satisfied with this half-student.

Fengjiu is responsible for giving Longsheng arithmetic lessons, and occasionally teases him with Xiaojin's abacus; during breaks, he will take the "Northern Plant Illustrated Book" to the palace garden to find out the flowers and plants, and teach him some natural aspects. He also made a plan to go on another expedition to Xishan in godfather's spare time.Of course, Ya Ya still followed Long Sheng and counted with Bi Xiaofinger. When the count was not enough, she took off her shoes and socks and lifted her fat feet to the desk to save the emergency. Full of wit and wit, teachers and students enjoy themselves.

Feng Jiu also invited Tong Zhongyi, who had already opened a branch of the Tianxing Escort in Beiping, that is, the former Ouchi bodyguard who used to be a tiger head master, to teach Longsheng Xingyi boxing.Long Sheng was very interested in martial arts, and Yaya also followed suit in random strides. Feng Jiu always wanted to laugh when he saw the two little guys practicing martial arts.Master Tong said seriously to Feng Jiu that when Ms. Ning gets older, she can consider learning "Wing Chun" and use skillful strength to attack the enemy and protect herself. Wing Chun is obviously more suitable for the girl's family.

When Feng Jiu was approaching the child here late at night, he rarely went to sleep. Instead, he was still sitting in front of the desk, with his hands arched, and checked the long list on the desk from top to bottom. The plan listed in detail the various matters that need to be prepared for the Mid-Autumn Festival - seven days later, the female family members in the Fengtian Marshal's Mansion will sit in a special seat to enter the customs, arrive at the palace, and then everyone will celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together.

Feng Jiu has been busy with this for a while.She nodded her head slightly, confirming one by one, after all, the whole family came here for the festival, and there must be no mistakes in the details.

Although Fengjiu has a quiet nature, she also yearns for the occasional lively family gatherings.Just like what Mr. Zhu, the master of prose, said in "Moonlight in the Lotus Pond" - "I love to be lively, but I also love to be calm; I love to live in groups, but I also love to be alone." I wonder if I can find an opportunity to go to Tsinghua Garden to talk to Mr.Suddenly, I remembered the news published in the newspaper in August—my husband had gone on a tour in Europe, and I couldn't help laughing at my ignorance.

She calmed down and finished counting quickly. She was relieved, stood up, and stretched herself—since Ning Zheng was discharged from the hospital, as long as she didn't come back so late, Feng Jiu couldn't sleep peacefully because of this.

Since she gave birth to Bud, her sleep has obviously not been as good as before.A while ago, Ning Zheng's illness really shook her heart, which added to her worries—how could a person who was originally as strong as an ox fall down without saying anything?
In the past, he seemed fragile, and only occasionally when he was drunk, that kind of collapse would only make people feel funny.Of course, his swaying posture, blurred eyes, and Hetian Meiyu-like complexion mixed with strands of red silk will also make her think of the phrase "decadent like a jade mountain will fall" involuntarily.

It can be seen that the anger really hurts.

Tonight, he hosted a banquet at the "Zhonghe Theater" outside the front door, General Song Mingxuan, the general of the Northwest Army, and several Western diplomats who had made friends with him, as well as Sir Ke Dong, the father of Ke Weili who had just arrived in Beiping. Tonight's play is Mr. Mei sings the complete version of "Universe Front" [Universe Front[OL]; September [-][OL];
Needless to say, Mr. Mei's play caused a great sensation even when it was performed in the United States last year.When the drama master Chaplin heard about it, he didn't even have time to change his costumes for filming, so he came to make friends with Mr. Mei; the audience in Washington refused to leave for a long time after the show went on late at night, and they kept drumming for so long. Palm, spared no effort to express his admiration for Mr. Mei's perfect Peking Opera art; US President Hoover also wrote to Mr. Mei expressing regret and invitation again because he was not in Washington at that time.

I heard from Ning Zheng that these European and American ministers had heard that Mr. Mei was performing a full-length version which was extremely rare this time, so they specially reserved a special box with a particularly good location for Deputy Commander-in-Chief, and wanted to see it quickly.

Of course, Feng Jiu also loves Mr. Mei's plays, but for a young mother, this kind of arrangement that requires a whole night of watching and incidental entertainment, according to the standards of their couple, Feng Jiu can't go.

Feng Jiu was thinking wildly when suddenly a high-pitched phone rang untimely, especially harsh in the dead of night.Surprised, Feng Jiu quickly answered the phone, and it turned out to be Zhi Changsheng.

He reported very quickly, saying that the third young lady should not wait, there is an urgent military situation tonight, and the deputy commander-in-chief does not know when he will be able to go back... As for what happened, we will know tomorrow.

Feng Jiu squeezed out the word "good" with difficulty, hung up the phone with shaking hands, and his heart sank endlessly—this was a terrible disaster.

A few days later, the couple was finally able to calmly talk about what happened on the night of "September [-]". Ning Zheng whispered that it was Mr. Mei who played the "Golden Palace pretending to be crazy" who played the climax of the play. "When it was [-]% off, a phone call came from Fengtian North Camp.

Feng Jiu had already watched Mr. Mei's play, which he thought he put the most effort into, and watched it twice—although not the entire play—it was naturally excellent.

After listening to Ning Zheng's words, Feng Jiu couldn't help thinking that Mr. Mei should have read the introduction "Du Ge's branches are weeping with blood and tears in the dark" on the stage at that time. In the voice, from the most beautiful Mei Pai shaking their sleeves pretending to be happy, to "the phoenix crown is crooked and the clothes are half untied" going out and pretending to be crazy, singing funny lines-"Is the emperor sitting on it? Congratulations on getting rich! Congratulations to you! It is said that this adult is not inferior to me, so I am a student! I do not kneel!..."

This is a very exciting scene, full of excitement and joy... On the stage, Mr. Mei was fully engaged, when he suddenly saw Ning Zheng and more than a dozen senior officers in the box, all got up with a "hula la", and in a blink of an eye I don't know how I feel when I leave without a single person left?Did it affect his later performance?

This has become a lingering question in Feng Jiu's mind - in the face of major events, great shock and grief, what people pay attention to is instead the trivial things in comparison.

Later, Fengjiu found an opportunity to minor in psychology, which he had always been interested in, and only then did he realize that his wandering focus only proved how much he wanted to avoid recalling the extremely painful scene at that time.

On the second day, the sun rose as usual, but the streets of Beiping were already covered by the panicked cries of a large number of newspaper boys. Lieutenant Kawamoto Mori, Deputy Lieutenant of the Third Squadron of the Second Battalion of the Garrison, led his soldiers to detonate 20 packs of explosives on the tracks of the Liutiao Hunan Manchurian Railway located 22 meters southwest of Beidaying.

After the explosion, Shigeru Honjo, the commander of the Kwantung Army, immediately ordered that Captain Masakawa Kawashima, the captain of the Third Squadron of the Second Battalion, who had been ambushing four kilometers away, led his troops into the North Camp under the pretext that the Chinese army had blown up the South Manchuria Railway, which was actually controlled by the Japanese. , The Ning army did not resist and retreated across the board.This morning, Fengtian fell, and the three eastern provinces were in danger...

But no, I know everything.

Fengjiu was distraught, but fortunately, the civilian telephone line she had hoped for had not been cut off, and she was able to learn one after another that Fengtian's relatives had begun to flee—one day later, her father and elder brother brought their family, and Ning of the handsome mansion The old lady, sister-in-law, four concubines and their children were all escorted by guards and boarded the train going south smoothly.They all got off the bus in Tianjin and lived in their respective mansions in the French Concession.

Fengjiu breathed a sigh of relief at first, but suddenly felt sad. Her family, Ning Zheng's family, these high-ranking officials in Fengtian can escape smoothly, but what about other Fengtian people?What about the teachers and children of Ende Church?What about students from Fengda University, Xu University, and other universities, middle schools, and elementary schools?

After holding back the tears for two days, they finally came out of my eyes.

As the wife of the supreme commander of the Northeast, as the wife of the leader who is directly responsible for the national disaster, she will be overwhelmed by a huge sense of guilt.

Feng Jiu didn't see Ning Zheng until the fifth day after the National Calamity Day.

As expected, Ning Zheng was unshaven, haggard, and his clothes were wrinkled.Feng Jiu stepped forward to take his military cap and hung it on the coat rack. The couple sat down on the same sofa in the living room, staring at each other silently, without saying a word.

Feng Jiu stretched out his hand to touch his face, Ning Zheng tilted his head, closed his eyes, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and raised his hand to cover Feng Jiu's hand, letting his face stick closer to her soft palm .

Feng Jiu opened his mouth and was about to say something when he suddenly heard someone shouting "Hong Si, Hong Si, slow down!" Two hurried figures rushed in one after another. It was Hong Si who came, followed by Ning Cheng, the second elder brother who was sweating from running.

Feng Jiu withdrew his hand and stood up immediately, Ning Zheng suddenly lost the warmth on his face, and a trace of melancholy flashed across his dark eyes that slowly opened.

Hongsi is still studying engineering at Tsinghua University. Ning Zheng caught up with him on summer vacation after he was discharged from the hospital. Then he went to Yanda to study as a graduate student and expressed his unabashed appreciation.

At this time, Hong Si, who had always been calm and not like a young man, strode into the living room, looking straight at Ning Zheng with stern eyes.Ning Zheng was still sitting on the sofa, looking back quietly, while Ning Cheng stood at the side helplessly, this second elder brother was always not good at words, and he didn't know what to say at this time.

Feng Jiu looked at Hongji's heaving chest and flaring nose - since she met him, she had never seen him have such an intense expression.

Hong Si was wearing a beige windbreaker. At this time, he took off the windbreaker with a sullen face, and without saying a word, he turned around with stiff shoulders. Feng Jiu and Ning Zheng saw the back of the white shirt he was wearing inside at the same time. There are a few large characters dripping with ink: "Nephew of the general who does not resist".

Ning Zheng stood up, Feng Jiu turned his head to look at Ning Zheng, and immediately stretched out his hand to lightly press the back of his hand, his eyes were full of worry.

Ning Zheng stared at these big characters full of anger, and after a while, he said as if awakened from a start: "I have wronged you, Hong Si."

"Third Uncle, why didn't you order resistance?" Kouji asked angrily after the initial burst of enthusiasm, "Is it Mr. Jiang's order? Chinese people know his attitude towards the Japanese, but Now, you can 'Ignore the orders of the foreign military!'”

He didn't believe what the third uncle said in the newspaper after the national disaster. Apart from thinking that this was just a provocation by the Japanese army and that the Chinese side should not be fooled, but believed that the League of Nations would mediate and deal with it, what else?
He also knew that Ning Zheng made this decision after extensively listening to the opinions of senior diplomats such as Liang Weijun and Tang Erhe. Among them, Tang Erhe had just returned from Tokyo. The army is extremely dissatisfied with its disobedience to orders and self-assessment, and is trying its best to suppress it, and will not let it go.In summary, waiting for the League of Nations to intervene is the way out.

The League of Nations, referring to the "League of Nations" at that time, was also the predecessor of today's United Nations: almost all the major countries in the world had joined it at that time, and at its peak there were 58 members who agreed to abide by the "Convention of Versailles". Disagreement among member states, promotion of cooperation among member states, economic development, aversion to war, and enthusiasm for the elimination of weapons, once optimistically believed that World War I was "the war that ended all wars."

"...Did you forget last year's 'Middle East Road'?" Ning Zheng asked bitterly.

Speaking of which, the Middle East Road is another persistent disease in Northeast China, and its historical causes are extremely long and complicated.

By [-], Tsarist Russia had built the Eastern Province Railway with a total length of more than [-] kilometers, extending Tsarist Russia's influence to the northeast.The Russo-Japanese War broke out in the second year and ended with the defeat of Tsarist Russia; Japan immediately obtained the right to use the "South Manchuria Railway" from Changchun to Dalian; while the Middle East Railway from Manzhouli to Suifenhe, Harbin to Changchun was still controlled by Tsarist Russia .

Later, Tsarist Russia was replaced by Soviet Russia, and Ning Zheng was determined to take back the right of way by force once and for all, and the Nanjing government also expressed support.However, the situation is stronger than others. The Ning army and the Soviet army suffered a disastrous defeat, and the support originally promised by the Nanjing government was later proved to be nothing more than a blank check.This action directly led to the severance of diplomatic relations between Soviet Russia and China.

Ning Zheng and Mr. Jiang are 14 years apart, so their life experiences are naturally different.Their relationship is also very strange: they are also teachers, fathers, friends and enemies.Compared with Jiang, who broke through the bloody power struggle within the party and was good at manipulating power, Ning Zheng, who grew up smoothly under the shadow of his father, has unbelievably low political acumen and even less effective means. .

What Ning Zheng hates most is Japan, and Mr. Jiang, as a nationalist, has to say that he hates all kinds of foreign forces, but in comparison, what he hates most is first of all those who want to replace them and threaten him " A person with the status of Chairman of the Government of the Republic of China.Two people can say that "differences do not conspire with each other".

When the Northeast changed flags back then, apart from Ning Zheng's distaste for the Chinese beating the Chinese, the main reason for the alliance was to mobilize the whole country's strength to jointly defend against foreign enemies.However, from the "Middle East Road Incident" last year, Ning Zheng has seen that when the crisis in Northeast China came, the Nanjing government did not send troops to support and give money to people as promised, but only bluffed and shouted from behind.

It's all fake.

The "Middle East Road Incident", to paraphrase Mr. Lu Xun's words, caused Ning Zheng to "bump his ideal head into a big bag".

And at this moment, what are the Nanjing government and Mr. Jiang doing?Starting in May, some Cantonese warlords rose up to attack the Nanjing government. Of course, Jiang could not sit idly by and immediately fought back with all his might.The matter had just come to an end, and he dispatched 30 troops from the Central Army to enter the Northwest to carry out "bandit suppression operations."

This "bandit" is not the notorious "Party Cripple" that is common in Northwest China - a bandit in the traditional sense who burns, kills, loots and commits all kinds of crimes, and even destroys the culture of the Zhou and Qin Dynasties with such audacity - but It is a popular "communist bandit" army composed of progressive forces.

He took this "bandit" so seriously that he was afraid of any other emergencies that would disturb him. Just seven days before the "September [-]th", Mr. Jiang was about to go out to Jiangxi to "suppress the bandits". Shimen City met with Ning Zheng and earnestly instructed: "If the Japanese 'provoke', you are not allowed to resist, and things will be difficult if you fight back. The matter of dealing with the Japanese is left to the central government."

The past few days have been the most painful and longest time in Ning Zheng's life: he has non-stop interviews with Chinese and foreign journalists and issued statements; The opinions and suggestions of a total of 27 officials, all participants agreed that "it is the best policy to obey the central government's handling of the Northeast incident".

However, Mr. Jiang, who has high hopes, still insists on sitting in Nanchang and personally supervising the army to encircle and suppress the Communist army, knowing the current situation. Until three days later, domestic public opinion has reached a boiling point, and dealing with the "September [-]" incident has become an inevitable Then he returned to Nanjing unhurriedly and set up a "special diplomatic committee" to be in charge of filing complaints with the League of Nations and waiting for mediation and liaison.

On the fifth day after "September [-]", the Ningjun intelligence department intercepted Jiang's secret message to Liu Ruxi, a warlord who ruled in Jiaodong: If the Japanese army takes the opportunity to invade Yantai, they must not resist.This is really considerate. Fortunately, the Kwantung Army at this moment really doesn't have such thoughts. Otherwise, if the Japanese intercepted this information, wouldn't they be ecstatic and feel like a treasure?

So in this case, if you want the Ning Army to resist the powerful Kwantung Army alone, isn't it just death in vain?In the eyes of Ning Zheng at this time, this is simply a false proposition.

I have to admit that the Kwantung Army is so powerful that even the invincible Russians are scared, otherwise, they would not be willing to spit out Dalian, Lushun, and Jinzhou, which are rich in products and superior in geographical location.

"Do you want me to start another 'Central Plains War' with Mr. Jiang's Central Army because of my disobedience? Are you going to wipe out all the property your grandfather left to our Ning family?"

Kouji opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't make a sound, he pursed his lips tightly, but lowered his head unknowingly.

Ning Zheng also lowered his head.

Two men's faces that are [-]% similar have the same expression at this time, which makes people sigh at the magic of blood relationship.

Ning Cheng, who has been the head of the Tianjin Police Department for two years, finally found the opportunity to smooth things over, "This matter really needs to be discussed in the long run. Hong Si, your third uncle and his staff have already discussed it, and feel that this is still a provocative method commonly used by the Kwantung Army. We can't I was fooled; besides, isn’t there a League of Nations?”

Hong Si was dubious, Ning Zheng frowned and looked at his nephew, the room was silent for a while.

"Hongsi, Song Ling once suggested that he should sacrifice a few regiments and make a dozen of them, so as to silence the people of the country... But if this is really the case, this is all from our old Ning's family My own soldiers. My father and I have never withheld military pay, and we don’t even drink the blood of this kind of soldiers. Now you want me to order and watch them go to death?!”

Hongji didn't say a word, the whole room was silent.

However, they, the top leaders and close relatives of the three northeastern provinces in Beiping, no longer have the time and energy to think about such complicated issues: one after another, students from Fengtian University have gathered in the pass under the leadership of their teachers. Beiping——That night, when the students heard the sound of gunfire, they immediately picked up their schoolbags and packed up the precious documents that could be taken away. Some of them even carried the less heavy and fragile experimental equipment and professional equipment on their backs, Car, with books, all the way to Peiping.

Ning Zheng immediately allocated the former Army University campus at No. [-], Chongyuan Temple, Xizhimen, to Feng teachers and students for teaching and accommodation, so Feng University resumed classes soon.

Later, middle school students and even primary school students and teaching staff from the three eastern provinces who were still too young to be subjugated slaves arrived in Peiping one after another. The number of them reached several hundred. Feng Jiu simply advised Ning Zheng to set up a middle school to accept all the students from outside the customs.

Soon, Northeast Middle School was established at the original site of the refugee shelter in Piku Hutong, Xidan, and the school waived all fees for students.On the [-]th of each month, all teachers and students will mourn in silence, ring the alarm bell, drink Coptis chinensis, and swear to avenge their past shame.The school implements militarized management, live ammunition training, wearing light yellow military uniforms and leggings; many anti-Japanese martyrs are often invited to give reports to the students, and the teachers and students are greatly encouraged.Until the school was disbanded ten years later, more than [-] students were trained, and most of them became the backbone of the Anti-Japanese War.

Running a school requires money the most.The banking systems in the three northeastern provinces have been controlled by the Japanese, but Fengjiu still has some of her private property that can be used. She donated most of the remaining assets without hesitation to subsidize the daily expenses of Fengda and Northeast Middle School. And actively participated in the school's preparations and various management tasks, plus she refused to neglect her studies at Yanda University, so she was suddenly overwhelmed.

It is gratifying that, except for a very small number of professors who resigned politely for fear of being implicated, the vast majority of professors and lecturers stayed to tide over the difficulties with the students.

Fengjiu was also worried about Xu Yong: Xu Yong, who insisted on staying in Fengtian, was arrested on the fourth day after National Calamity Day because he refused to follow the new curriculum issued by the Japanese. He was escorted to Tokyo via Dalian, and was closely guarded.

Xu Yong secretly handed out a note, asking Xu University students to "come to Peiping quickly", so all Xu students began to retreat to the pass.

Occasionally, there was news that Honzhuang Fan wanted to lure him with money to let Xu Yong replace Ning Zheng to take over the military and political power in the Northeast and become a puppet of the Japanese, but how could Xu Yong, who is all strong, agree.Honjo fancied to kill him, but after considering his reputation and the status of the university president, he decided to give up for the time being.

It was not until two months later that Xu Yongcai was able to escape with the help of a former Xu Da Japanese teacher who had always admired and sympathized with him. He secretly returned to Shanghai by boat, and then went to Peiping. His family, Ning Zheng, Feng Jiu and others continued to manage the daily affairs of Xu Da in exile, and also helped manage Feng University on weekdays. After two years after the family wealth was gone, they simply merged Xu Da into the Feng Da.

On November [-]st, Xu Yong established the famous "Xu Yong University Volunteer Army". From then on, he led teachers and students of Xu and devoted themselves to the ensuing wars of resistance in Songhu, Rehe and the Great Wall. Many of them made great achievements in battle.

At the same time, many Xu graduates he trained for the country joined the air force of the Central Army one after another and became the leading force of the Chinese Air Force. Of course, this is all for later.

Later, Feng Jiu also heard that Wen Binglan, a former female student of Xu University who was a philistine who hung out with him without a name and no status and almost let him leave the house, found a decent position in the British Concession in Shanghai tomorrow morning. He also had a British comprador lover and lived a stable and decent life. After the national disaster, he joined the "Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army" without hesitation. He fought hard on the front line of the Anti-Japanese War with many Northeast fellow villagers.

After Fengjiu heard about it, she was silent for a long time. She suddenly realized that sometimes, she was too self-righteous: In fact, everyone has many faces, and one cannot easily deny a person because of a certain thing. It can be seen through at once; some, without going through some major events, really cannot be evaluated fairly and impartially.

"The moon is round like a lamp in the east

go up layer by layer
Burn more incense and serve more wine

A night of celebration for the whole family

moon oblique mid autumn festival

Eating moon cakes and offering to the rabbit

Wearing new socks and new shoes, I also talk to my grandma and my sister
Go to the front door and go shopping”

Long Sheng was coaxing Yaya to sleep - Yaya's nanny was sick and lived in Pianxia, ​​so the task of coaxing Yaya to sleep fell on him.

In the evening, the exhausted Bong-gu, who had finished his work, would call his godson over without hesitation.Sensitive Long Sheng had already noticed that the atmosphere in the mansion was unprecedentedly gloomy. Although his godfather and godmother tried their best to cover it up, his emotions were very wrong, so he became more and more sensible with his well-behaved nature.Feng Jiu sighed secretly, and kissed Long Sheng on the forehead.

Ya Ya has always listened to her brother's words the most, but tonight the moon is bright, and the moonlight doesn't care about human affairs, and it still shines in brightly. Just ignore it and go out to talk to Qiaozhi who came home to reunite with them. After a while, I heard Long Sheng gently humming the August [-]th Peking nursery rhyme to Yaya, the sound of milk She was milky and had a Fengtian accent. She was so cute. After a while, the two children fell silent. Feng Jiu went in quietly and saw that they both fell asleep.

She pulled Qiaozhi out the door, and drove around to Xiyuan area.The car drove slowly, and several guards drove silently to follow the guards.Along the way, there were not a few shops open for business, and there were few people in the surrounding area, and it was quiet and cold everywhere.

Qiaozhi said softly: "In the past, many people would come to admire the moon and boat on the lakes of Houhai and Beihai. Most of them were young students. They would enjoy the moon together, compose poems, talk about ideals, and talk about serving the country..."

In her slow voice, Fengjiu thought that just before this catastrophe, she was just a housewife with no other thoughts, and she only thought happily: I have to buy two riding unicorns or tigers today, The rabbit master holding a golden pestle - Yaya is one year older anyway, and he should know that he likes this gadget that children all over China are proud of; and in the courtyard of the palace, set up an altar for the moonlight horse unique to Peiping With Cockscomb Flower, Ou Li, and lotus-petal watermelon cut into a big lotus flower, it is enough for Yaya to kneel down and kowtow to Taiyin Xingjun, while standing up and praying; Watch from the sidelines, after all, the whole of China pays attention to "men don't worship the moon".

If you are impatient to go boating in Shichahai and Beihai to enjoy the moon, then the large free water tank in the yard is enough: fill it with water, and the moon in the sky will jump in happily, and hold out a big jade plate with ripples. For everyone to see, the people around are all happy while biting any kind of mooncakes from Zhimeizhai, right?

How come that kind of relaxed and comfortable mood seems to have passed away in the blink of an eye?
While driving, she turned her head and looked at the dark water covered by the shade of weeping willows, as if she saw light and unadorned simple boats on the blue waves of Shichahai in previous years, and the bright lights on the shore Gently swaying with the large luxuriant lotus, it is full of happy college students, talking and laughing loudly, expressing their hearts, as if contributing to the country is just around the corner, and they will sing together when they are happy. The high-pitched singing went straight to the sky, and even the bright moon in the sky shone on them very brightly.

And this Mid-Autumn Festival this year, Shichahai has turned into a dead sea, and no one is in the mood to celebrate—the "September 3000" of [-] million Northeast compatriots, I am afraid that it will be the "September [-]" of Peking people, and even all Chinese people. .

The fall of Fengtian also brought about an extremely serious consequence: the Kwantung Army found 53 collection slips of Japanese political dignitaries from the safe in the Shuaifu's study.

Among them, the largest amount was 50 yuan from Fukji Takejiro, the main cadre of the "Political Friends Association".

The corruption and bribery scandal of Japanese politicians was spread back to China, which aroused great resentment among the Japanese people. The military took the opportunity to launch the "Military Power Seizure Movement" to eliminate corrupt party politics.

As a result, the balance of public opinion in Japan quickly shifted towards the military, and the mainstream newspaper "Asahi Shimbun" even shouted the slogan "I would rather clean soldiers than corrupt politicians", and Japanese society accelerated its transformation into complete militarism.

Not to mention that the "September [-]th" and the previous "Huanggutun Incident" greatly encouraged the adventurous actions of Japanese soldiers.

Even though there are sober politicians who have repeatedly reiterated that China is too large for Japan to completely occupy, but this voice has become weaker and weaker, just like the light of a firefly, and has not attracted any attention.

The then Prime Minister Reijiro Wakatsuki had long been unable to control the increasingly arrogant military, and the relatively moderate and rational faction gradually declined.

His predecessor, Yuyuki Hamaguchi, was assassinated and died, and his predecessor, Yoshiichi Tanaka, also sighed after the "Huanggutun incident" and said: the end of the Japanese Empire is not far away.Not long after, as the scapegoat of the Huanggutun incident, he was dismissed and passed away quietly.

One day in late November, Fengjiu suddenly couldn't find any newspapers in the mansion, seeing the dodging eyes of the servants and servants, she knew it well.

On the way to Yanda, she began to hear all the newsboys she met were chanting the same poem. It was only later that Feng Jiu realized that it was the "Current Affairs" first published in Shanghai by Ma Junwu, an influential politician and poet at that time. The doggerel in the New Paper:

"Yang Si is flamboyant, Zhu Wu is wild, and butterflies are the best.
Ruanrou Township is the Tomb of Heroes

Feng Jiu stood still holding the newspaper - "The wall fell down, everyone broke the drum, and thousands of people beat it." This poem has spread rapidly across the country overnight, to the point where everyone can sing it.

Bong folded the newspaper ten percent off, and continued to walk slowly towards Yanda University. Along the way, she was met with the contemptuous gaze she had been familiar with for the past two months—at Yanda University, everyone knew her identity, but she didn't care about it.

If she suffers because of this and then complains, then what will Ning Zheng think in his heart?

The literati's pen has always killed people without blood.

Several women involved in this doggerel: Yang Siben has nothing to do with Ning Zheng, and has been driven to Shanghai long ago; Miss Zhu Wu is the daughter of Zhu Qiqian, the fifth sister of Zhu Tieli, one of Ning Zheng's four guards, She has known Ning Zheng since she was a child, and their relationship is limited to a few dances. Recently, she is planning to marry Ning Zheng, a confidential secretary surnamed Lin who will soon be promoted to the post of "Director of the General Affairs Division of the Beiping Appeasement Administration".

Although Hu Die, the most famous actress of the Republic of China period, is in Beiping at the moment, she has never met Ning Zheng face to face. How can she talk about "the most suitable"?She is working with the crew to shoot locations for three films - "Laughing Marriage", "Old Times Beijing" and "Freedom Flower". There is no one who travels alone. When you first arrive and a few days before your return, or when you go out to buy things, you will also be in groups of three or four, going back and forth with each other, so everyone's actions are fully known."

Ms. Hu Die immediately posted two rumor refuting notices, lamenting that Mr. Chen Ma was bewitched by the news of Japan's Kyodo News that deliberately slandered Ning Zheng. The Commander's reputation is intended to prevent him from counterattacking. May the people of our country know about his treachery and not follow his plan to kill with a sword."

But the damage has already been done, and it is permanent. Although Mr. Ma quickly realized his mistake and published a letter "To Wang and Jiang Dian" after the "January [-]" incident in the following year, the target this time was directed The instigators of the policy of "non-resistance"—President Wang and Chairman Jiang, among them, "the country's affairs have deteriorated to this point... is Wang and Jiang's insistence on 'no compromise internally, no resistance externally'", which is "internal confrontation Ferocious as a ghost, but timid as a mouse to the outside world... The fall of the three eastern provinces, the loss of Shanghai, Wusong, etc., was not so much a result of being invaded by Japan, but rather being ruined by the military and political authorities." But his powerful doggerel The initial impression left on the people of the country is indelible.
