On May 21, 1926, the Guangzhou National Government passed the resolution of the Northern Expedition, marking the beginning stage of the Northern Expedition.◇↓◇↓,

Shanghai newspapers and magazines reported this matter, and most of them agreed.

This is thanks to Zhang Zuolin's actions in Peking, and his high-pressure rule has caused him to lose the support of the press.

On April 26, Zhang Zuolin ordered the killing of the famous Beijing reporter Shao Piaoping, which aroused the same hatred in the press, and it can also be said that the rabbit died and the fox was sad.

Zhang Zuolin can kill Shao Piaoping today and other journalists tomorrow, unless everyone doesn’t tell the truth.

The press has always paid attention to freedom of speech.

Although everyone knows that this is relative freedom, this is the persistence and pride of the press, and the face of the press.

Zhang Zuolin's killing of Shao Piaoping was a slap in the face and offended the entire press.

The press in Peking was frightened by Zhang Zuolin's terrifying reign and did not dare to speak out. There was no public memorial or commemoration, and it was silent.

The Shanghai press sternly condemned the Fengtian army's atrocities in Peiping.

Don’t underestimate the news media. What can the media influence through newspapers? It is the people’s hearts.

Because of this, most Shanghai newspapers support the Northern Expedition of the Guangzhou National Government.

Of course, there were also opposition voices, mainly because of the cooperation between the Guangzhou National Government and the Soviet Union.

Zhang Zuolin was supported by the Japanese, and the Soviets were behind the Northern Expedition Army. Speaking of which, the two were half a dozen.

Lin Zixuan opposed the alliance with the Soviet Union, but supported the Northern Expedition.

He hopes that the Beiyang government will fall soon and the country will be unified as soon as possible. In this way, China can have a relatively stable time and not be full of war everywhere. The people will be hurt in the end.

During this period, he calmed down to write a paper on the US economic crisis.

Song Ziwen received a master's degree in economics from Harvard University and a doctorate in economics from Columbia University. It is not easy to convince this top economics student.

To take out real things, Lin Zixuan picked up the economics that had been thrown away for a long time.

He even wondered if he was studying for a master's degree in economics, his diploma was too low.

At this time, Xu Zhimo came to Shanghai. He did not come to Shanghai specifically, but passed by. He wanted to return to his hometown Haining.

The reason is that he and Lu Xiaoman were at the point of discussing marriage. But his father firmly disagreed.

Xu's father believed that his son's divorce was already a rebellious person, and now he wanted to marry another married woman, which was even more corrupt.

Xu Zhimo wanted Lin Zixuan to go back to Haining with him and persuaded his father to agree to the marriage.

This made Lin Zixuan laugh and cry, but he did not refuse.

Lu Xiaoman and Wang Geng divorced at the end of 1925, and they were in love with Xu Zhimo, so Lin Zixuan had no choice but to wish them happiness.

On the way back to Haining, Xu Zhimo told him about his future plans.

Peking was too chaotic, and Zhang Zuolin's high-pressure rule made Xu Zhimo, who yearned for freedom, very uncomfortable. He was planning to move to Shanghai after getting married, buy a house, and teach in college.

Many people at the Crescent Society have this plan because of Lin Zixuan's relationship. Shanghai is their first choice.

Some people also go to Nanjing, Xiamen, Guangzhou and other places to make a living, either teaching in schools or working in newspapers.

For example, Lin Yutang of the Yusi School fled from Peking with his family in May. He went to Xiamen University to serve as the director of liberal arts. He recommended a group of scholars who taught in Peking to Xiamen University. Among them, Luxun.

As a result, scholars from Peking moved south one after another and finally gathered in Shanghai.

This is the second time Lin Zixuan has come to Kushi Town, Haining. The first time is when he comes to Haining to watch the tide.

With Lin Zixuan's intervention, Xu's father was not good at scolding his son, so he asked Xu Zhimo to accompany Lin Zixuan to wander around and entertain him warmly.

This may be Xu Zhimo's purpose.

A few days later, Xu's father finally let go. Xu Zhimo had to get married with his ex-wife Zhang Youyi's consent.

As if Xu Zhimo was granted an amnesty, he returned to Shanghai.

At this time, Zhang Youyi had returned from Germany and lived in the villa of her second brother Zhang Junyi.

Lin Zixuan and Feng Chengcheng invited these two old couples as friends to create an opportunity for negotiation.

In the restaurant in the French Concession, Zhang Youyi was wearing a dress, quiet and confident, and compared to Xu Zhimo was a little submissive and lost the poet's freedom and freedom.

Lin Zixuan and Feng Chengcheng left first.

On the way, Feng Chengcheng couldn't help but sigh, and he really couldn't explain the relationship.

Seeing Zhang Youyi and Xu Zhimo being both talented and beautiful, they are of a good match, and have children, they would not have divorced.

New-style people pursue marriage liberation and free love, and do not hesitate to run away from home for this reason. Feng Chengcheng used to be the same, opposing arranged marriages, but now he lives a happy life.

Are those who pursue free love surely happy? Or will they be hurt and covered in bruises?

It can only be said that each has his own fate and his own happiness.

Lin Zixuan was used to seeing the reunion and separation between men and women in later generations, and divorce became a common phenomenon, but happiness was difficult to find.

Looking at the two people in the restaurant, he held his wife's hand and felt that he should cherish the people in front of him.

Zhang Youyi agreed to the marriage between Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman and generously sent her blessings, which made Xu Zhimo quite ashamed, and let go of her worries and returned to Peking.

In Peiping, Hu Shi was about to leave, and he was going to the UK and visit Moscow.

Hu Shishi came to the UK to attend the plenary meeting of the Sino-British Boxer Constitution Committee.

In May 1925, the British Parliament passed a bill on the return of part of the Boxer Indemnities.

In March 1926, Hu Shi attended the Sino-British Boxer Advisory Committee in Shanghai. In July, Hu Shi left Peking, passed Harbin, and took the Siberian Railway train to the UK.

This is the first time Hu Shi has gone abroad in nine years since he returned from studying abroad in 1917.

He is also another influential figure who came to Moscow to the Chinese literary world after Xu Zhimo and Lin Zixuan.

He stayed in Moscow for three days.

Hu Shixian visited the Revolutionary Museum and carefully looked at the historical materials of the revolutionary movement in Russia from 1890 to 1917, which was very touched.

Then, he met two professors from the University of Chicago in the United States and went to visit the prison in Moscow with them.

The three of them were very satisfied after seeing it, thinking that the prisons in Moscow were very humanitarian.

Hu Shi discussed Soviet education with them and read some educational statistical materials and had a good impression.

He even felt that the Soviet Union "was really working hard to run new education and trying to create a new era of socialism."

He wrote in a letter to his friend.

"My feelings are different from those of Zhimo. The people here are the politicians who have ideals and idealisms mentioned in my letter the day before yesterday. Their ideals may be something that we who love freedom cannot fully agree with, but their dedication to their will is something we cannot not fail to admire very much. They are here to conduct an unprecedented new political experiment; they have ideals, plans, and absolute confidence, and these three items are enough to make us feel ashamed of death."

After just three days of visit, Hu Shi praised the Soviet Union.
