Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

In ancient times, people would form various gangs for profit or survival. There is a well-known Chinese gang in Shanghai.

Members of this gang intervene in the opium business, open casinos, run brothels...as long as it is profitable business, they will do everything.

It can be said that they are one of the most unofficial people in Shanghai. Even if they are not satisfied with some government orders, they have no way to implement them properly.

And the leader of the gang is treated with courtesy by all parties.

However, even such a character would not dare to offend Huo Ying.

Although the power of the Huo family is not in Shanghai, who doesn't know that Huo Shengping attaches great importance to his eldest son and second son?To offend Huo Ershao, isn't this a disease of the brain?

What's more, although Huo Ershao has a bit of a temper, he doesn't behave recklessly, so he is easy to get along with.

At least, Jiang Xinchun, who is said to be the only one on the beach in Shanghai now, has a good impression of Huo Ying.

He felt that Huo Ying was to his liking.

Jiang Xinchun was in his 40s, and he was in his prime. After he got the news that Huo Ying was coming, he went out to greet him personally, and discussed friendship with Huo Yingping.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, he even praised sincerely: "It's really a tiger father without dogs! What Huo Ershao has done in the past few days is really very Marshal Huo's demeanor!"

Jiang Xinchun's hands are not clean, and he has done a lot of immoral things, but he still loves his country. After reading the news of the Lushun massacre in the newspaper today, he has completely lost his affection for the Japanese. .

He knew that Huo Ying came here because he probably wanted him to help deal with the Japanese, and he didn't intend to refuse.

He also wanted to teach those Japanese a lesson.

"Mr. Jiang is ridiculous." Huo Ying didn't like to talk in circles, so he said bluntly: "I came to see Mr. Jiang today because I want to ask Mr. Jiang for help."

"Second Master Huo wants to deal with those Japanese?" Jiang Xinchun asked.

"Yes and no." Huo Ying said: "Mr. Jiang, I hope you can find someone to watch over those Japanese, and don't let them have the opportunity to kill people on my side. In addition, I also want to ask Mr. Jiang to find someone to follow up with." I play a play."

"What play?" Jiang Xinchun asked.

"Mr. Jiang, please arrange for someone to smash the editorial department of Hope Monthly." Huo Ying said, "Blow up my car again."

"You want to frame the Japanese?" Jiang Xinchun asked.

Huo Ying said: "Yes, the Japanese should hate me now, and they will definitely come to deal with me, so I will help them make a big one."

This was Fu Yun'an's idea.

As a very famous doctor, Fu Yun'an has always had a good relationship with those Westerners in the concession.

Those foreigners may not even treat people like Huo Ying with courtesy, but they are very warm to Fu Yun'an.

Who doesn't know that Fu Yun'an is good at medicine, especially in surgery?Maybe one day, they will ask Fu Yun'an to perform surgery for them. Under such circumstances, of course, they can't offend Fu Yun'an, or even make friends with them.

It is precisely because of this that Fu Yun'an can always get a lot of information from those foreigners.

Recently, the European and American powers have a worse and worse impression of Japan, and Fu Yun'an is well aware of this.

He intends to make the European and American powers have a worse impression of Japan.

What's more... Fu Yun'an found out that several Western businessmen came to Shanghai and wanted to order a batch of military supplies.

What they need are clothes and shoes.Huo Ying's factory can produce these things, but the speed may be a bit slow.

These businessmen looked down on Huo Ying's factory. They planned to go to Japan and find Japanese people to do it. They were only staying in Shanghai temporarily.

And Fu Yun'an wanted to grab this list.

That being the case, they need to find ways to discredit the Japanese.

Of course, they may still not be able to get the order in the end, but even so, it can make people in China sympathize with Huo Ying.

Fu Yun'an intends to take advantage of this incident to make Huo Ying a hero, so that it will be convenient for Huo Ying to do anything in the future.

However, it is not good for them to do such a thing by themselves, and it is easy to show their flaws. Huo Ying finally came to Jiang Xinchun.

Taking advantage of this incident, they also plan to have a long-term cooperation with Jiang Xinchun.

Among other things, with Jiang Xinchun, they will be much safer in the concession.

Jiang Xinchun chatted with Huo Ying, and finally agreed.

After discussing with Jiang Xinchun, Huo Ying had dinner at Jiang Xinchun's place.

The standard of the meal was very high, and there was a lot of food during the banquet, which was very rare. Even the big cigarettes Jiang Xinchun smoked were top-quality goods worth dozens of silver dollars.

When Huo Ying and Jiang Xinchun got in touch, Mu Qiong had already left the editorial department of Education Monthly and returned home.

He didn't go to Huo Ying's side today.

He has already done what he can do, so there is no need for him in the future... I believe that Huo Ershao and Huo Sanshao can handle things well.

Zhu Wanwan, Mu Changyu and the others were all at the orphanage. There was no one at home, so Mu Qiong ordered a bowl of noodles to eat at night. After eating, he went back to his room and went to bed early.

Before going to bed, he couldn't help but think of Fu Yun'an, but it's a pity that Fu Yun'an went to Hangzhou and hasn't come back yet.

Mu Qiong went to bed early that day and got up earlier the next day, and after he got up, he went to Sheng Chaohui's side.

Along the way, some breakfast shops were not open, but Huang Yang and Sheng Chaohui were already having breakfast.

Mu Qiong gave Huang Yang and his wife three silver dollars as their breakfast money for a month, but they obviously couldn't finish it—their breakfast was quite affordable.

A big pot of white rice, as well as salted duck eggs and pickles, these are not expensive, and the taste is not bad.

Huang Yang and his wife had very good appetites. They ate a rice bowl in twos and twos, and then filled another bowl immediately. They ate very fast.

As for Sheng Chaohui...

Besides pickled vegetables and salted eggs, Sheng Chaohui also had a bowl of steamed eggplant in front of him, so the treatment was better.

Mu Qiong knew that Sheng Chaohui was a picky eater, so he thought he would be picky, but he didn't expect Sheng Chaohui to eat a lot of food, and he ate deliciously.

"Zhao Hui, you have a good appetite." Mu Qiong said.

Sheng Chaohui glanced at Mu Qiong, a little helpless: "If you practice for hours a day like me, you must have the same appetite as me."

When Sheng Chaohui first practiced martial arts with Huang Yang, he felt that he was going to be tossed to death, but after practicing for a few days, he got used to it.

It's just that I eat more and more, because I always practice in the yard and get tanned.

Sheng Chaohui felt that when he completely quit opium addiction and went out, maybe no one would recognize him - he would become a black rice bucket!

But don't practice... These two guards forced him to practice!

And practicing like this... I don't know if it's an illusion, he feels that the opium addiction is coming, and it's not so uncomfortable...

It is impossible for Mu Qiong to practice Sheng Chaohui for so long, but he has come here today, so he must continue to practice.

During practice, Sheng Chaohui asked about the outside world, and Mu Qiong told him everything he knew.Of course, he didn't say that those tear-jerking interviews in the newspapers recently were actually written by him.

"The few people whose families were ruined by the Japanese are really pitiful." Sheng Chaohui said: "Mu Qiong, you have a good relationship with Huo Ershao. Can you find out about their current situation? How are they doing now?"

Mu Qiong: "...they should be living well. In order to protect them, Second Young Master Huo will not let others know about their situation."

"It should be like this." Sheng Chaohui said, scolded the Japanese again, and said that he would write several articles to scold the Japanese.

Mu Qiong didn't speak.He practiced a little hard, and now he can't speak.

Mu Qiong took a break in the middle of the practice, and at the same time asked Huang Yang to go out and buy a copy of each newspaper on the market.

When he came here before, probably because it was too early, he didn't see the newsboy selling newspapers.

The last one to buy the newspaper was Junior Brother Yang.

He came back with a lot of newspapers, and Mu Qiong picked out the reports.

To declare this newspaper, although sometimes you are very daring to speak, but sometimes you will bend your waist for five buckets of rice.

In the past few days, there have been articles that help the Japanese speak.

But today, there is no such article in Shenbao. Instead, it has published articles mourning the Lushun massacre by people from all walks of life. On the front page, there is also an article written by a British confirming the existence of the massacre.

Mu Qiong watched with relish, very happy.

Unexpectedly, Junior Brother Yang suddenly said at this time: "Mr. Mu, when I was out buying newspapers, I heard a piece of news."

"What news?" Mu Qiong asked.

"The editorial department of Hope Monthly was smashed." Junior Brother Yang said, "This happened last night. It hasn't been published in the newspaper yet, but everyone in Shanghai already knows about it."

Mu Qiong asked a few words and found that he couldn't explain clearly, so he decided not to stay any longer: "When something like this happens, I'm going to have a look!"

Mu Qiong went out and rushed to the editorial office of Hope Monthly.

He called a rickshaw, and along the way, the rickshaw driver also talked about this incident, and said: "The Japanese must have done this, and I knew they were not good people!"

Mu Qiong expressed his agreement, but after calming down, he felt that... this matter may not be done by the Japanese.

Those Japanese, shouldn't they be doing such an arrogant thing right now?

Mu Qiong was thinking about this when he suddenly heard an explosion.

The concession has been expanding, and it is now very large, but not particularly large, just a few streets criss-crossing.

And these streets are recognized as the safest places in Shanghai, and now he actually heard the sound of explosions...

Mu Qiong said: "Let's go and see where the explosion happened." Something must have happened there... Although it's a bit dangerous, it should be okay if he doesn't get close and look around.

Mu Qiong wanted the rickshaw driver to pull him there, but the driver didn't want to, so he had to pay and go there.

Then before he got any closer, he heard something.

"Second Master Huo's car was bombed!"

"I don't know if Second Young Master Huo has something to do!"

"Those Japanese must have done it! It's too arrogant!"

……

The author has something to say:

Speaking of that era, the warlords were really powerful.

At that time, Huang Jinrong, the leader of the Shanghai gang, was very good. Chiang Kai-shek once worshiped him as a teacher, and Du Yuesheng was regarded as his junior.

Then, Lu Xiaojia, the son of Lu Yongxiang, the warlord of the Anhui Clan, directly tied Huang Jinrong because of conflicts with Huang Jinrong...

Later, Du Yuesheng went to intercede in person and spent 300 million yuan to redeem Huang Jinrong.
