716 【Argument】
Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao, Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing, Zhang Taiyan, Gu Hongming... These people all represent an era and reflect the magnificent modern history of China.
Now, Zhang Taiyan is dead.
The last words he left were: If a foreign tribe enters China, my descendants will never be able to serve their official duties.
Zhang Taiyan must have been unwilling to give up before he could say such a last word, and was also frightened and determined. He could feel the danger of the Japanese invasion, but he was unable to turn the tide, and could not even see a glimmer of hope for China's victory.
Zhang Taiyan is just a scholar. No matter how crazy, crazy or casual he was during his lifetime, he would return to the essence of a traditional Confucian scholar when he died.
Don’t eat Zhou’s millet!
This is the sorrow and helplessness of Chinese literati, and it is also the heart-wrenching cry of Chinese literati.
Perhaps, when Lu You was dying, he told his son that the king's army was on the north to settle the Central Plains, and he never forgot to tell his husband about his family sacrifices. His mood should be the same as Zhang Taiyan.
Just as Zhou Hexuan was about to go south to attend Zhang Taiyan's memorial service, Hu Shi suddenly came to visit.
To be precise, Hu Shi passed by Tianjin this time and was about to go to the United States for exchange and inspection.
"Mr. Mei left at the wrong time." Hu Shi sighed when he met.
Zhang Taiyan, whose courtesy name is Mei Shu, is the title he respects the most.
However, as we all know, Hu Shi and Zhang Taiyan have conflicts. The two have academic arguments for many years and don’t like each other. Now that Zhang Taiyan is dead, Hu Shi suddenly calls him “Mr. Mei”, which shows that he respects Zhang Taiyan from the bottom of his heart.
Hu Shi is such a person. No matter how flawed his abilities are, at least his moral character is beyond reproach.
Historically, Hu Shi went to the United States this time and could not come back until the end of the year. He happened to encounter two things: one was the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang detained Jiang; the other was the death of Lu Xun and Su Xuelin whipped the body.
Hu Shi was forced to go abroad by Chiang Kai-shek because of his articles on freedom and democracy. But in the face of the Xi'an Incident, Hu Shi stood up and scolded Zhang Xueliang, believing that the most important thing in China is to have a unified government and leader, which is the key to China's ability to resist Japan, and he shouted that Chiang Kai-shek would be released immediately.
Hu Shi and Lu Xun are also "enemys". He was scolded by Lu Xun so well. After Lu Xun's death, Hu Shi did not speak any attacks. Instead, Lu Xun's student Su Xuelin jumped out to whip the corpse. Hu Shi immediately wrote a letter to criticize Su Xuelin, and the content was summarized as follows: First, Su Xuelin's recent articles were still the sour and corrupt tone of the old literati, and they were not allowed; second, Lu Xun had his own strengths and should not be erased in one stroke; third, Mr. Tongbo said that Lu Xun's "A Brief History of China" was a copy of the Japanese work, which was a big mistake, and Mr. Tongbo should apologize.
Of course, Hu Shi also looked down on Lu Xun. The article described in the letter as "光方" is "光方". To put it bluntly, it is a barking dog. He told Su Xuelin not to whip the corpse blindly. He was too ungraceful. He should have despised Lu Xun while also seeing Lu Xun's advantages.
Hu Shi is the one who you slapped him and could greet him with a smile. He is the best man in the Republic of China.
"Mr. Taiyan's death is indeed a pity," Zhou Hexuan said with emotion, "but his era has passed, and he will die now, which is better than death when the Japanese invaders were in full swing invasion."
"Is it really inevitable to fight?" Hu Shi said depressedly.
Zhou Hexuan nodded: "I said earlier that there will be a battle between China and Japan."
"But China will be defeated in the battle!" Hu Shi's voice became louder, with a little anger.
"China will win." Zhou Hexuan cuts the railway line.
"What is China going to win?" Hu Shi became more and more excited. "Economy, military, science, diplomacy... what is China better than Japan?"
Zhou Hexuan smiled, and did not argue, but said: "I heard that you recommended yourself and wanted to serve as the Chinese ambassador to Japan. If you really became an ambassador, how to engage in diplomacy with Japan?"
"Of course it is to build a good relationship between the two countries," Hu Shi explained his claim without reservation. "I think it is better to seek peace before the war than to lose the war. China is not able to achieve the loss of territory in the three northeastern provinces, so it is better to recognize the puppet Manchukuo, fundamentally adjust the relationship between the two countries, and eliminate the hostility and hatred between the two nations. This is the key to seeking peace!"
Fortunately, no matter how Hu Shi jumped up and down, Chiang Kai-shek did not allow him to serve as ambassador to Japan.
This argument is a traitor.
Even Wang Zhaoming did not dare to say "recognize the puppet Manchukuo" at this time, and Hu Shi was simply outrageous.
Zhou Hexuan sneered and asked: "Abandoning the three eastern provinces and acknowledging the puppet Manchukuo, should we also give up the five North China provinces and acknowledging the puppet North China?"
"The five provinces in North China must be kept," Hu Shi said. "If we want to preserve the five provinces in North China, the prerequisite is to give up the three northeastern provinces. We are at a disadvantage. If we want to seek peace, we must show sincerity."
Zhou Hexuan laughed in anger: "If China really defeats, you will be Qin Hui of the contemporary era."
"If we don't take the initiative to seek peace, China will really be defeated. You and I will be slaves to the destruction of the country!" Hu Shi retorted.
Zhou Hexuan said: "The people of the four eastern provinces are already slaves to the country."
Hu Shi's tone stagnated and sighed: "The key to the present is to maintain a peaceful situation. First, there is peace, then seek development, and we will fight back one day. A gentleman will take revenge for no more than ten years, let alone national hatred and family hatred. If we start a war with Japan now, all our territory will be lost, so how can there be any hope for revenge?"
Zhou Hexuan shook his head and said, "Being eroded by people step by step is the most terrible thing. Taiwan was occupied by the Japanese invaders for 40 years. How many people still remember it now? How many people want to regain Taiwan? If they really admit the puppet Manchukuo, not to mention 40 years, just 20 years later, how many people will shout to regain the Northeast? I am not afraid of the Sino-Japanese war, but I am afraid of Japan's encroachment."
"Once China and Japan start war, how long do you think China can last? By then, it will be destroyed and the country will be destroyed, and China will have no hope!" Hu Shi was so anxious that he beat his chest and stamped his feet.
Zhou Hexuan sneered: "The Chinese are not paper-based, they will drag down Japan even if they drag it down."
Hu Shi begged: "Mingcheng, I have nothing else to do this time. I just want you to persuade the chairman and the leaders of the government to fight the bureaucrats. You are a great writer of Nobel, you are an international expert, and you must be more effective than me. This battle cannot be fought, and it will be helpless once you fight. Look at what are the things that are the Chinese soldiers! Song Zheyuan was a hero who was praised by the whole nation two years ago. What about now? He is in North China with great power. He did not obey the government orders and colluded with Japan, and even suppressed patriotic students! I saw that when the Japanese attacked, Song Zheyuan was the first to surrender. Even the anti-Japanese heroes were like this, so how could other generals resist Japan?"
"The whole nation resists the war of resistance and unites as one, whoever surrenders will be exterminated from the people!" said Zhou Hexuan.
"National Anti-Japanese War? Haha," Hu Shi sneered, "Anti-Japanese War is just a gimmick, and those who shout anti-Japanese war have different intentions. The Red Bandits in the Northwest shouted anti-Japanese slogans, but as a result, they fought Yan Xishan. Chen, Li and Bai from Guangdong and Guangxi have also been fighting against Japan recently. They fought against the Central Army! Before Japan invaded in full, China fought into a group. When Japan really came, there were countless kings and dominances in the country, waiting to be solved one by one by the Japanese invaders! If everyone can unite in the whole nation to fight against Japan, do you think I don't want to fight? But how to unite? Ah, tell me how to unite!"
Hu Shi's emotions became more and more excited, and the last few words were all yelled.
Zhou Hexuan could not answer. He was a time traveler and naturally knew the answer. But he could not persuade Hu Shi with slander, because judging from the current situation, all Chinese forces could not cooperate at all.
"No need to talk, Brother Shi," Zhou Hexuan shook his head, "I stick to my own opinion. I am a war pro. Stay for dinner tonight and set off tomorrow."
"You eat it yourself, there is nothing to eat when you fight!" Hu Shi walked away angrily.
