Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

"Are you going to Shanghai? What are you going to do?" Lu Qitong asked with a smile, but her heart was raised.

Zhu Wanwan and her children are in Shanghai!

When Lu Qitong and Mu Yongxue were together, they knew that Mu Yongxue had a wife in his hometown.

She didn't take it seriously at the time. After all, according to Mu Yongxue, his wife didn't know a single character and was just a country woman. In her opinion, such a woman was not as good as herself, and even less worthy of Mu Yongxue. .

When she and Mu Yongxue are together, that woman should naturally abdicate wisely.

So, she married Mu Yongxue in Japan, and she also gave birth to Mu Yongxue's children.

Later, Mu Yongxue took her and her child back to Mu's house.

She still remembered that when she went there, she didn't take a country girl like Zhu Wanwan seriously at all. After all, Mu Yongxue's heart was entirely on her.

When they arrived at Mu's house, Mu Yongxue's father, Mu Daoming, even asked her to offer tea to Zhu Wanwan, calling her a concubine!

Later, Mu Daoming also said that the property of the Mu family would be given to Mu Changqiong in the future.

The old man regarded Mu Changqiong as an eyeball, but took her son as a fish eyeball!

Forget it, Mu Daoming still refuses to give her and Mu Yong money.

At that time, her father had an accident and needed a sum of money to take care of it, but her family had no money, so she hoped that the Mu family could help.

She went to Japan with her father and brother. At that time, their family went to Japan and lived there for many years.Because she is from the same country, her mother often invites Mu Yongxue who is alone to their house for dinner, and takes good care of Mu Yongxue...

Their family is kind to Mu Yongxue, and the Mu family gave them a sum of money, which is what they should.

However, Mu Daoming was unwilling.

Mu Daoming even felt that Mu Yongxue wrote a letter casually back home and then went abroad, and the few times he wrote a letter and came back, he still asked for money, which was unfilial.

At that time, she and Mu Yongxue turned down their faces and begged Mu Daoming, but Mu Daoming refused to give money no matter what, so she could only leave Mu's house with hatred in the end.

It was precisely because she didn't manage well at the time that her father died in depression, and her elder brother and younger brother have also been developing poorly, and now they are not even comparable to Mu Yongxue.

She has always kept this account in her heart, and she has often talked about it in front of Mu Yongxue over the years.

After being told too much by her, and always remembering that her father valued her son and didn't take herself seriously, Mu Yongxue became less and less fond of Mu Changqiong, his son.

After Mu Daoming passed away, after they dug out 7 silver dollars and [-] taels of silver from the Mu family's cellar, Mu Yongxue's dissatisfaction with his father reached its peak.

In the early years, their family's life was not well off.

Although Mu Yongxue's salary is high, it is only [-] yuan per month, so he can't save much money.

At first Mu Daoming was unwilling to give them money, they were still the Mu family and had no money, never thought that the Mu family's ancestors had saved so much money for generations!

With that money, you can buy many houses and shops in Beijing for rent, and store it in the cabinets of other people's shops, and you can get a lot of interest.

They can already rely on various incomes to live an excellent life in Beijing without using capital.

The family obviously has money, but they don't spend it on them... How can they not complain?

Fortunately, Mu Changqiong was still young at that time, so the money was in their hands after all.

But Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changqiong and Mu Changyu were brought to Beijing by Mu Yongxue, all of which made her lose face.

Originally, she was Mu Yongxue's wife whom everyone envied, and her children were Mu Yongxue's heirs, but Zhu Wanwan, mother and three children suddenly appeared, and she became a joke.

What's more, she knew very well that Mu Changqiong was really smart.

If he is allowed to stand out, what else can her children leave behind in the future?

Fortunately, Mu Yongxue also hated Zhu Wanwan and the three of them.

After arriving in Beijing, they not only rented another house for them to live in, but also sent Mu Qiong to a good school. Later, Mu Yongxue did what she wanted and found a reason to drive the three of them away. When they were driven away, they were only given a few hundred silver dollars.

However, she didn't want to give even these hundreds of silver dollars, and the way Mu Changqiong stared at her before being driven away made her very uncomfortable.

Mu Changqiong said that one day he wanted her to look good and kicked her out of Mu's house.

She felt that she couldn't let this disaster go back to Suzhou safely—after Mu Changqiong went back, if he won the attention of the Mu family in Suzhou and finally had a good future, he would definitely come to Suzhou because of her many calculations before. revenge on her.

So, in the name of Mu Yongxue, she wrote a letter to the Mu family in Suzhou, asking them not to take in Zhu Wanwan, mother and son, and sent it with the letter, along with some belongings.

Forget it, she also asked her elder brother to arrange someone, and when Zhu Wanwan, mother and son arrived in Suzhou, they took away their money.

No money, no support from the clan, no place to live... She didn't believe that the three of them could live well.

No matter how smart Mu Qiong is, if he has no money to study and lives in hardship, he is nothing.

Sure enough, after the three went to Shanghai to seek relatives, there was no news.

However, even so, she did not forget these three people, and now Mu Yongxue is going to Shanghai...

Lu Qitong looked at her husband, waiting for an answer.

"Several new universities have been established in Shanghai recently, and a publication such as Education Monthly has been released. I want to go and have a look." Mu Yongxue said, "I also want to meet Lou Yuyu."

"Yongxue, shall I go with you?" Lu Qitong said, as long as she is here, even if Mu Yongxue meets Zhu Wanwan and the others, nothing will happen.

"You went with me, what about Changyue Changcai and the others?" Mu Yongxue frowned.

Mu Yongxue and Lu Qitong had two sons and one daughter together.The oldest, Mu Changming, is 12 years old. The second is his daughter, Mu Changyue, who is only ten years old. As for the youngest, Mu Changcai, he is only seven years old.

These three children are already in elementary school, but they still need someone to look after them.

"How many children should we go with? They haven't been to Shanghai yet, so it's good to see them." Lu Qitong said.

"I used to have business to do, so what's the point of bringing a group of children?" Mu Yongxue frowned. Although he valued the three children born to Lu Qitong very much, he was not willing to take care of children.

With a few children behind him, how could he do anything?

Lu Qitong lowered her eyelids and said: "That's true, children are too noisy."

Mu Yongxue didn't mention Zhu Wanwan's mother and son from the beginning to the end, but it was precisely because of this that Lu Qitong was even more worried.

Shanghai is said to be big, but it is also very small. When people like Mu Yongxue go to Shanghai, they will definitely be published in the newspapers. If Mu Changqiong sees it by then, he will come to his door...

At the beginning, Mu Changqiong was young and energetic, and he didn't have a soft word when facing Mu Yongxue, which made Mu Yongxue's impression of him worse and worse, and he disliked him less and less.

But if he realizes the problem and is soft on Mu Yong...they are father and son after all, maybe the previous suspicion will be settled.

Lu Qitong didn't want the matter to develop to this point.

The next day, Lu Qitong's younger brother came to the door and asked Mu Yongxue for help.

Lu Qitong's elder brother and younger brother have a good relationship with Mu Yongxue. They were classmates when they were studying in Japan. Now that he has something to do, Mu Yongxue naturally wants to stay and help.

And at this moment, people in Beijing began to boycott Japanese products.

Signs such as "Don't use hated goods" were hung on the doorways of many shops, and some patriotic businessmen burned the Japanese goods in their shops, which attracted bursts of applause.

Many patriots got together and decided to go to Shandong to carry out the anti-Japanese struggle, which caused the government to suffer.

Mu Yongxue was in charge of education, and it happened that those students were the most excited now, so he also got busy and began to try to appease the students in Beijing.

In a short time, Mu Yongxue will not be able to go to Shanghai.

But he couldn't go to Shanghai, but he wanted to go to Shanghai more and more.

This time the Japanese will make trouble because of Huo Ershao's mischief in Shanghai... Mu Yongxue wants to meet the troublemaker Tianxing, and also wants to meet Lou Yuyu.

What's more, the current government doesn't have much control over Shanghai... After he goes to Shanghai, if he can get involved in Shanghai's education circle, he will not only get a great achievement, but also increase his reputation greatly.

In addition, the punctuation used in the educational monthly is also very important to him, and he wants to promote it in his own name.

It will be of great benefit to him if all this is done well.

Thinking of this, Mu Yongxue worked harder to appease the troublemakers in Beijing.

Of course, when he did this, he didn't dare to express his pro-Japanese views.He has always used the reason that the current national strength is weak and it is not suitable to compete with Japan to persuade those excited students.

While Mu Yongxue was busy in Beijing, Shanghai also began to boycott Japanese products.

Before Japan occupied Shandong, the ordinary people in Shanghai were not very angry, nor did they use Japanese products because of this, they always used whatever was cheap.

But recently, when all these incidents came out, they also had opinions on Japan, and the merchants united together, not to buy or sell Japanese products.

The business of Japanese businessmen is suddenly difficult to do. If this trend continues, it may be as difficult as last year, or even more difficult.

In 1914, the year before last, the government of the Republic of China established the Shandong Products Exhibition in Jinan in order to develop commerce. At that time, commercial activities in Shandong were very prosperous, and the import and export trade volume reached about 3000 million taels.

Last year, after Japan replaced Germany in occupying Shandong, there was a boycott of Japanese goods in China, especially in the north, in protest against Japan's encroachment on Shandong's rights and interests, so that Shandong's trade volume dropped a lot last year.

But this does not affect the Japanese to continue to do business... By this year, that is, in 16, the trade volume has picked up again.

At the same time, more and more Japanese are coming to live in Shandong.

Ten years ago, there were only more than 100 Japanese living in Qingdao, but now, there are nearly 200 Japanese in Qingdao, and only [-] other foreigners, and among these [-] people, half of them are former The Germans occupying Qingdao.

The Japanese forces also invaded the interior of Shandong from Qingdao, and began to sell opium in Shandong and other places.

According to the original history, in the next few years, taking advantage of the wars in Western countries, Japan opened many factories in Shandong, and the import and export trade volume of Qingdao and other places will rise all the way, even reaching more than 4000 million taels.

Of course, this also aroused the dissatisfaction of domestic patriots. The subsequent May Fourth Movement was actually caused by the Shandong issue.

Before the May [-]th Movement, there had been many other anti-Japanese movements.

Last year, Shandong students organized the country's first student patriotic organization to guide all parties in the anti-Japanese struggle.A few years after the end of the First World War, Shandong will spontaneously form a national petition group to go to Paris. Unfortunately, at the Paris Peace Conference, China was clearly the victorious country, but Shandong was divided into Japan by the big powers...

It was they who returned without success, and finally caused the students in China to launch the vigorous May Fourth Movement.

In the end, the government finally could not bear the pressure from all parties in the country. In 1922, it paid 5445 million silver dollars to redeem the sovereignty of Qingdao and Jiaoji Railway, and opened Shandong as a commercial port.

It is a pity that even though the Qingdao and Jiaoji railways were redeemed, the number of Japanese staying in Shandong continued unabated. They were still "trading" in Shandong, and their warships were still wandering in Chinese ports.

The ransom also made them develop better. It forced Japan to become one of the top countries in the world, and it also made them covet China even more.

In the 20s, when the Japanese army’s full-scale war of aggression against China had not yet begun, the Japanese side sent troops to Shandong several times to “protect” the overseas Chinese, and even created the Jinan tragedy. In the Jinan tragedy, more than 7000 Chinese people were burned to death. Thousands were wounded and captured...

It's a pity that it's all like this. At that time, some warlords were close to the Japanese for their own interests, and even cooperated with the Japanese to lure wolves into their houses. Many people even wanted to curry favor with the Japanese in order to become high officials after Japan occupied China. .

Mu Qiong felt a little bad when he thought of those.

He wanted to write something again, of course, it was not easy to use Lou Yuyu's pen name to write.

However, it must be the Japanese who are in a worse mood at the moment.

The goods they brought to Shanghai could not be sold under the operation of Huo Ying, Jiang Xinchun and others!

Not only that, some orders that European and American countries originally wanted to make for them were also taken away by the Chinese!

All of this is just a small matter on a large scale, but the accumulation of such things has resulted in the closure of some factories in Japan and the development of some factories in China...

The author has something to say:

I made many places empty in the text, especially the characters. In order to avoid harmony, I paid special attention to this point when writing, so there is no prototype.

But the words about some major events are true, and the above information about Japan in Shandong is true.

I didn't learn history well. Some things I only found out after I checked the information after I wrote the article. I was really shocked...

The following is from Baidu Encyclopedia:

The Jinan tragedy, also known as the May 17rd tragedy.In the 1928th year of the Republic of China (1928), Chiang Kai-shek led the National Revolutionary Army to carry out the Northern Expedition. Japanese militarists worried that once China was unified, Japan would not be allowed to invade wantonly, so they tried their best to prevent the Northern Expedition. In May 5, in the name of protecting overseas Chinese, Japan sent troops to Jinan, Qingdao and along the Jiaoji Railway, preparing to use force to prevent the Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army.

After the National Revolutionary Army regained Jinan on May [-], the Japanese army sent troops to invade the Shandong Negotiation Office set up by the Chinese government on May [-], cut off the ears and nose of the negotiator Cai Gongshi, and then shot him to death. Attacked the garrison of the National Revolutionary Army, and wantonly burned, looted and massacred in Jinan City.In this case, more than [-] Chinese people were burned to death, more than [-] were injured, and more than [-] were captured.At the same time, the Japanese army detained a large number of vehicles in Jinan, cut off the traffic lines, and forcibly occupied the administrative organs along the Jiaoji line.
