Chapter 305: The vast land, who controls the ups and downs?

In 1926, it was probably the following process to take the train from **** to Peking.

First, take a train from **花花花花花花花花花花花花花花花花花花花花花花花花花花花花花花花花花花花花花花花�

After arriving at Nanjing Railway Station, I also need a boat ticket and take a boat to Pukou Railway Station on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

There was no Yangtze River Bridge in this era. The Shanghai-Nanjing Railway was on the south bank of the Yangtze River and the Jinpu Railway was on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Take a boat across the Yangtze River, come to Pukou Railway Station, take the train to Tianjin and follow the Jinpu Railway north to arrive at Tianjin Railway Station.

This railway was opened to traffic in 1912, and it was the longest railway built in the late Qing Dynasty.

Since there was no technology to break through the Yangtze River at that time, it could only be built to Pukou on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and it could not be built to Nanjing, resulting in the Jinpu Railway and the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway on the south bank of the Yangtze River that could not be connected. Otherwise, there would be a train direct to Tianjin to ****.

Because of this, this railway is not used for freight transportation, and it is mainly for manned transportation. It is more convenient to use freight ships to carry waterways.

It takes one day to get from Nanjing to Tianjin.

When you arrive at Tianjin Railway Station, you have to transfer to Beijing-Feng Railway to Beiping. The Beijing-Feng Railway is built from Beiping to Fengtian, which is Shenyang.

From Peking to Fengtian, we shouldn't have passed through Tianjin, but because Tianjin is a strategic location, the Qing government deliberately made the railway turn around when building roads. First build it from Peking to Tianjin, and then turn from Tianjin to the northeast.

This railway was officially opened to traffic in 1912, and it took about six hours to go from Tianjin to Peking.

In other words, it will take at least two days for Lin Zixuan to arrive in Peking, and it takes a lot of time to transfer the train halfway.

In fact, China built a lot of railways in this era, but because of warlord separatism, most of them were on their own and the roads could not be connected, resulting in inconvenience in traffic.

Like the last time Lin Zixuan and Miss Song rushed to Peking, they suffered a lot of crimes.

The other road is to take a passenger ship from **** to Dagukou, Tianjin from the sea.

This takes more time. It takes about five or six days.

Due to the war in the north, warships from various countries docked near Dagukou, Tianjin, and it was not safe to take passenger ships.

Lin Zixuan came to Tianjin on the evening of March 3, where Tianjin was fighting.

The National Army led by Feng Yuxiang and Zhang Zuolin's Feng army were in full swing.

On January 11, 1926, Zhang Zuolin issued a telegram across the country, announcing that the three northeastern provinces had severed all administrative relations with the Peking government and presided over the military and political affairs of the three northeastern provinces in the name of General Zhenwei.

The three northeastern provinces were officially declared independent.

Even if he did not have electricity, the three northeastern provinces were his territory, but this showed the attitude of breaking the three northeastern provinces with the Peking government.

This is a signal that he wants to compete for the hegemony of the Central Plains.

During this period, Guangdong was the territory of the National Government. The Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas were controlled by the direct warlord Sun Chuanfang, Wu Peifu was in Wuhan, Yan Xidan was in Shanxi, Feng Yuxiang occupied Tianjin and Beiping and other places, and Zhang Zuolin dominated the three northeastern provinces.

There is chaos in the country.

Let me ask, who is the vast earth that controls the ups and downs?

Since Feng Yuxiang's rebellion, Wu Peifu's strength has been greatly reduced and he has lost the qualification to compete for the world and can only wander around.

Yan Xidan was the local emperor of Shanxi. He only wanted to dominate the country and did not have the idea of ​​being in the world.

Sun Chuanfang was arrogant and arrogant. Although he occupied a part of Jiangnan and was rich in the world, he was unable to become a great man.

Feng Yuxiang controlled the Peking government and supported Duan Qirui to come to power, which was a bit like wielding the emperor to command the princes, but his foundation was insufficient and his reputation was not good, so it was difficult to convince the public.

The only ones who have the real strength and ambition are the National Government of Guangdong and Zhang Zuolin of Northeast China.

Behind the Guangdong National Government is the Soviet Union supporting it. Behind Zhang Zuolin is Japan as the backstage.

One south and one north, compete for the world.

Feng Yuxiang's National Army originally belonged to the Zhili warlord. After he left the Zhili warlord, he called himself the National Army, and the Soviets were also supported by him. Only in this way can he gain a foothold in Peking.

Lin Zixuan stayed in Tianjin for a few days and met his third uncle Lin Boren.

Lin Boren is quite worried about the current situation.

He is a local official in Tianjin, responsible for business affairs, closely connected with foreigners in the concession, and heard a lot of rumors.

Lin Zixuan is helpless. In this great era, a small bureaucrat cannot grasp his own destiny and can only go with the flow, hoping to stand on the side of the winner.

Once you stand in the wrong team, you will lose your post at the least, and your life will be in danger.

He hinted in his words that he was optimistic about the Guangdong National Government and that the Northern Expedition was very likely to succeed, and he hoped that the third uncle would surrender as soon as possible.

But Lin Boren hesitated. He felt that Zhang Zuolin had a greater chance and was still in a wait-and-see attitude.

This may be the common attitude of most small bureaucrats. They are watching the final result of this war, who can enter the Central Plains and dominate the world.

Lin Zixuan had just left Tianjin, and the Dagukou incident occurred in Tianjin.

The reason was that in order to cover the Fengtian warships and sailed into Dagukou, Tianjin, the Japanese warships bombarded the National Army, killing and injured more than ten defenders.

The National Army resolutely fought back and drove the Japanese ship out of Dagukou.

Japan and the United States and other eight countries issued an ultimatum to the Duan Qirui government, proposing unreasonable demands to remove the Dagukou national defense facilities.

This involves the "Xin Chou Treaty" signed by the Western powers and the Qing government in 1901.

One of them was that the Qing government demolished the fortresses from Dagukou, Tianjin to Beijing, and allowed the great powers to send troops to station in important places along the Beijing-Shanhaiguan Railway.

This is to directly hand over the national defense force, and China has since become a semi-colonial country.

When Lin Zixuan came to Peking, the newspapers in Peking were discussing the matter hotly, unanimously opposing the unreasonable demands of Japan and other countries, and protesting that Japan and other countries interfere in China's internal affairs.

Some people proposed to abolish unequal treaties with Western powers, while Duan Qirui's government adopted a compromise attitude.

Lin Zixuan only sighed, ** can be bullied is one of the roots of the arrogant and domineering Western powers.

He came to Peking to accompany Feng Chengcheng to visit his hometown again, met his past friends and some writers.

The second set of new literature series that is promoted to Western society mainly publishes poetry collections and prose.

The Crescent Society is a literary group dominated by poets. Xu Zhimo and Wen Yiduo are both the best among poets of this era.

This matter was left to Xu Zhimo to handle, and two personal collections and one new collection of poems were selected.

According to Lin Zixuan's opinion, a personal collection of poems should have personal characteristics, that is, the poet himself should have characteristics, and the collection should have characteristics of the times. The selected poems should best reflect the voice of this era.

He tends to be the collection of poems by Xu Zhimo and Wen Yiduo, one of which is a liberal poet and the other is a revolutionary poet.

As for Guo Moruo's "Goddess", it is too free and unrestrained, and it is probably not easy for Westerners to understand, so let's forget it.

He has several candidates in prose.

Zhou Zuoren's sketches are indispensable. Zhu Ziqing and Yu Dafu are both masters of prose. He hopes that Chen Congwen will write some prose travel notes about Xiangxi, with unique regional colors.

The prose of these people has their own characteristics, culture, history, feelings, and insights. They are all-encompassing and melted into one furnace. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
