The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

Marshal Mansion.

"Three." The fourth aunt took a picture of mahjong. She is a female student that Chu Yupu married back home the year before last. She used to be a passionate young man, but now she is used to the life of a rich wife.

"Touch, Beifeng!" The second aunt is over 30 years old, but she still has the charm. She was snatched by Chu Yupu when he was a bandit.

"Sixty thousand." The third concubine was younger than the fourth concubine, she was born in a brothel, and she was regarded as an oiran at the age of 16.

"Eat, chicken."

Chu Yupu threw out a card and asked Zhou Hexuan behind him, "Did you go for a stroll again yesterday?"

Zhou Hexuan explained with a smile: "Marshal, I'm not familiar with the concession in Tianjin, so I'm going to check it out these few days. Besides, there are palace maids and guards around the queen at any time, so you have to find a good time to do it."

"Wait a minute, bar! His grandma is an idiot, she played the wrong card, otherwise the bar will bloom," Chu Yupu complained a few words, and then said, "You have to write your novel quickly, one chapter in two days is not enough to read."

Zhou Hexuan said: "Marshal, why don't I invite two secretaries. I'll read it, and they record it. They can write at least 30,000 words a day."

"That's a good idea, sure," Chu Yupu waved his hand, "Go down first."

Zhou Hexuan went downstairs and returned to his room, spread out the manuscript paper and didn't know what to write. He wanted to write in-depth works, but it was difficult to choose because the current situation is very complicated.

If he had no scruples, Zhou Hexuan would write "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword". This is the pioneering work of "Japanese Studies" recognized by later generations, and it has been sold in more than 100 countries and regions. In the 1950s, the United States even relied on this book to understand and transform Japan.

Zhou Hexuan can completely follow the framework of "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword", discard the content about World War II, and replace it with other examples to deeply analyze Japanese cultural traditions and national character. He also pointed out that Japan's long-standing mainland policy has finally made a prediction that it is very likely to invade China.

After the publication of this book, it will definitely bring great fame to Zhou Hexuan, and it can also serve as a wake-up call to the current Chinese people.

But even if he wanted to write, Zhou Hexuan did not dare to write in Tianjin. Because Tianjin is Zhang Zuolin's territory, and Zhang Zuolin is backed by the Japanese, so writing it at this moment is completely a death sentence.

So what kind of work should he create that can give him social influence without offending any forces?

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Hexuan finally wrote four words on the manuscript paper - the rise of great powers.

CCTV's series of documentaries "The Rise of Great Powers" cannot be copied, because it contains information about World War II and the post-war period, and it is only a relatively simple popular science video, and many deep-seated things have not been developed at all.

For example, after the victory of the American War of Independence, why did the country not be established immediately, but a constitution and a president were elected seven years later? For example, why did the Industrial Revolution first take place in Britain? Apart from Watt and the constitutional monarchy, what are the other important reasons?

These are things that CCTV's "The Rise of Great Powers" did not analyze in depth. Moreover, the process of the rise of various countries is very grand and upright in the CCTV films, and the dark parts are either not mentioned or mentioned in one sentence.

Zhou Hexuan can only learn from its basic framework, then add more content to it, and throw in his own private goods. He has to go through the rise of the major powers and use it to analyze the development strategy of Jianyan, so that writing will be more influential.

"Since the fifteenth century, with the great geographical discovery, countries around the world have begun to know, understand and compete with each other. In modern times, nine countries have appeared in different periods and have had a major impact on the world pattern. They are: Portugal , Spain, Holland, Great Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Russia and the United States..."

Zhou Hexuan's nib was running quickly on the manuscript paper, and he planned to write more than 30,000 words for "Portugal", starting from the founding of Portugal and continuing to overthrow the monarchy and establish a republic more than ten years ago. Finally, through the ups and downs of Portugal as a country, we will comment and analyze the root causes, as well as the reference significance for China.

This stuff is much more difficult to write than a novel, and Zhou Hexuan only finished a few thousand words after working until the afternoon. Then he went out to find his secretary. Anyway, "Legend of the Condor Heroes" is pure plagiarism, and it can be dictated for others to record.

This is not a rare thing, just take Li Shoumin in history as an example. Because he insisted not to cooperate with the Japanese, he was arrested and imprisoned for dozens of days. When he was released from prison, his eyes were half-blinded by chili noodles, and he was unable to create normally. For a long time afterwards, "The Legend of the Swordsman in Shushan" was dictated by Li Shoumin, and two secretaries were hired to copy it.

...

While Zhou Hexuan was busy looking for a secretary, Mr. Lu Xun was worrying in the bookstore in Beiping. He didn't know what novels to buy for his old mother.

Lu Xun's mother, surnamed Lu, never went to school and was illiterate for a long time. It wasn't until her son took her to live in Peiping that the old lady learned to read newspapers by herself, and finally fell in love with chapter novels.

The old lady likes to read stories about gifted scholars and beautiful ladies, and she often sheds tears because the plot is too tragic. As for the articles written by her son, she didn't like them very much, because they were really ugly.

Every time Lu Xun went to a bookstore, the most troublesome thing was to choose a book for his old mother, because he was afraid that he would buy a novel that was too sad. He had to read the book roughly every time, and only bought it back for his mother when he felt that there was no problem.

"Boss, are there any good novels recently?" Lu Xun asked.

The bookstore owner smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, there are really no new novels published recently. However, there are serialized ones in the newspapers. The "Legend of the Condor Heroes" in Tianjin is very popular, and many people rush to buy newspapers every day to follow up."

"It's serialized, show me it." Lu Xun said.

The boss took out a stack of newspapers and said, "Mr. Zhou, I managed to collect all of these. If it were someone else, I would definitely not take them out."

Lu Xun just stood in the bookstore and read, and the boss didn't bother him, and went to take care of the business in the store.

Everyone's reading perspective is different. There are 10,000 Hamlets for 10,000 readers. At the beginning, Lu Xun only took a rough look, but it soon became a detailed one. From the first few chapters of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he read the flavor of alluding to the Beiyang government.

In Lu Xun's eyes, the Kingdom of Jin in the book is Japan, while the officers and soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty are the Feng faction warlords. In the book, the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty helped the Jin Dynasty to kill the people, which actually alludes to the fact that the Feng army, with the support of the Japanese, carried out mass killings in the Beijing and Tianjin areas.

Gradually reading the desert plot later, Lu Xun felt that Mongolia was a metaphor for the Soviet Union. Today, the alliance between Russia and the Communist Party belongs to the consensus of progressive people, and he also holds this view.

Just as Lu Xun quickly finished reading the serial chapters of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Wen Yiduo ran in suddenly and said in a low voice, "I was looking for you everywhere, Shao Piaoping was killed by Zhang Zuolin!"

"What!"

Lu Xun was so shocked that even the newspaper in his hand fell to the ground.

In Beiping, a bloodbath has broken out, countless progressive literati have fled south in panic, and the pattern of the literary world in the Republic of China has begun to change.
