Beijing time, 9:00 am.

Beijing, Prime Minister Hutong.

This Prime Minister's Hutong is located in the central part of Xuanwu District, starting from Luma City Street in the north and ending at Nanhengxi Street in the south. It can be traced back to the ancestor I claimed to be, Dajin, the Qing Dynasty.

When I was so cute, the craftsmen who weaved ropes in the capital lived here, so they were called "Rongjiang Hutong".

In order to seek the secret, people spread rumors and called it "Prime Minister Hutong". During the Republic of China, it turned into a formal place name.

Mr. Lu Xun, who is as famous as Mr. Hongjian, even wrote an article opposing whether it is bad or good from the name. He once criticized the relevant parties for changing Shengjiang Hutong to Prime Minister Hutong.

Not to mention, there have been many famous people living here, such as Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Li Dazhao, Qiu Jin, Gong Zizhen, Cai Yuanpei, etc.

Of course, the "feudal" prime minister's Hutong in New China could not be used, so it was renamed Caishikou Hutong. By the end of the 20th century, it became Caishikou Street.

That's right, this alley is close to Caishikou where the prisoners were executed.

Now there is a newspaper in Prime Minister Hutong, which is the famous Morning Post.

Li Dazhao, one of the founders of the Communist Party of China, founded the Morning Bell newspaper in 1916. In September 1918, the news that the government borrowed money from Japan was closed, which was the "Nihara Da Borrow". In December of the same year, the newspaper was renamed "Morning Bell", and it was republished.

This newspaper is one of the official newspapers and magazines of the political faction "Research Department" led by Liang Sicheng's father Liang Qichao, and is also the official newspaper of the Progressive Party founded by Liang Rengong.

"Morning News Supplement" is even more famous and is one of the "Four Major Supplements" at that time.

By the way, the Department of Research has the Morning Post and the National Gazette in Beijing, and the magazines "Current Affairs News" and "Renovation" in Shanghai.

The Morning Post not only contributed greatly to the New Culture Movement, but also contributed to the May Fourth Movement.

On May 2, 1919, Lin Huiyin's father Lin Changmin published an important article revealing China's diplomatic crisis in the Morning Post. Two days later, the May Fourth Movement broke out.

Therefore, the most important political movement in modern history of Cyris is related to the tracking and reporting of the Shandong issue by the Morning Post.

How to say it, since our Master Yuan accepted Zhang Dongsun’s invitation and became a professor in the Department of Economics in Chinese Public Schools, he now has a little bit of the color of a research department.

Of course, whether he can become a political member of the research department depends on whether the research department can tolerate him, the great Buddha.

A young man of twenty-five or six hurriedly stepped into the Morning Post newspaper, rushed to the door of the editor-in-chief's office and smashed the door with his fist impatiently.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Mr. Zaijun, are you here?"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

I heard someone inside ask unhappily with a sip of southern-flavored official language: "Who?"

"Mr. Jun, it's me, Sun Fuyuan."

Sun Fuyuan (1894-1966), if you know a little about the history of modern Chinese literature, this name should be quite familiar.

He and the Zhou brothers are fellow townsmen in Shaoxing and one of the most famous students of Lu Xun.

In 1918, he was introduced by Zhou Zuoren and went to Peking University with his younger brother Sun Fuxi to attend, and the next year he became a formal student.

In 1919, he worked as an editor in the supplement of the National Gazette. In the same year, after the National Gazette was seized for publishing and exposing the Duan Qirui government scandal, Sun Fuyuan transferred to the Morning Post to be a reporter.

In 1920, he and Mao Dun, Zheng Zhenduo and others jointly initiated the famous literary group - the Literary Research Association.

In October this year, he would serve as the editor of the supplement of the Morning Post, and later became known as the "King of the Supplement". Lu Xun's famous work "The True Story of Ah Q" was published in the newspaper for the first time.

"Squeak."

The door was opened by a middle-aged man of thirty-five or six years old, with a pretty face and two beards.

This person is naturally Mr. Zaijun. He is also a famous person, his surname is Ding and Wenjiang, and he is from Taixing, Jiangsu.

Ding Wenjiang (1887-1936), this guy has a lot of experience, so I won’t go into details. However, his most famous identity is one of the founders of China’s geological cause and founded China’s first geological institution, the China Geological Survey Institute.

He is also an important member of the research department and is one of the six members of Liang Qichao's travel to Europe.

And who said that geologists cannot be the editor-in-chief of newspapers? Ding Wenjiang later founded two important magazines, one was the "Effort Weekly" in 1922 and the other was the "Independent Review" in 1932.

Now he is in Beijing, he founded the China Geological Survey Institute and was the acting editor of the Morning Post.

"Yangquan (Sun Fuyuan's word), look at you, you're sweating profusely. What are you doing so anxious..."

Sun Fuyuan, who was sweating all over, wiped his sweat casually, took out a wet manuscript paper and said, "Mr. Zaijun, big news, big news. The news I just got from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"

"Oh, I'll take a look..." Ding Wenjiang took it and couldn't help but feel moved, "What's the matter?"

"Yes, yes, I couldn't believe it at first." Sun Fuyuan nodded, "But according to friends from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they will issue a formal statement at the request of the British government today."

Ding Wenjiang immediately asked: "Yangquan, what official statement does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs want?"

Sun Fuyuan said depressedly: "Hey, isn't it just to separate the relationship with these heroes, and to strongly condemn them."

"Oh..." Ding Wenjiang sighed when he heard this.

From 1907 to 1911, he studied zoology and geology at the University of Glasgow and received a double bachelor's degree.

So he has also been a person who has drunk foreign ink, so he naturally knows that international politics is not that simple. The Beijing government has no choice but to do so.

However, as a not so professional journalist, he certainly has a certain sense of news.

"No matter what, we will send a call."

"Okay, I'll write the article now."

"Yangquan, go...wait a moment, this incident is called the Jiri incident."

"Mr. Zaijun, I understand!"

At the same time, in addition to the Morning Post, major newspapers in Beijing also received news specifically leaked by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

On the morning of July 24, 1921, the "outside the name" of the newspaper boys in Sijiu City was heard endlessly.

So the capital of the Republic of China was immersed in a strange atmosphere of joy.

"Have you heard about it?"

"What did you hear?"

"That's it."

"Oh, you said that... I just finished reading the newspaper in the teahouse. They are really a bunch of pure men."

"Yes, yes, these men are so grafted that they actually broke into the British Forbidden City and tied up two princes as meat tickets. They dare not act like this."

"That's it! Who did you think this was the idea? The storyteller said that this master definitely won't let Zhuge Liang be better than Liu Bowen!"

"Class, come and see!"

Among the schools in Beijing, various outliers were transmitted from one person to another, and young faces were filled with excitement.
