Chapter 46 cannon

Fu Sinian was known as "Fu Da Pao", and he was outspoken all his life and bombarded important people. Cheng Cangbo, an old friend of Fu Sinian, said: Suddenly one day, Fu Lun mentioned the president of the Fifth Academy of the National Government at that time.On Sun Ke, he said: "You are the son of my lord." On Yuyou, he is "an old party member and a scholar."When talking about Dai Jitao, he said: "Amitabha." When talking about Kong Xiangxi, he loudly expressed righteous indignation: "What is he based on?" On June 19, 1932, Fu Sinian published the famous article "China Now Needs a Government" in "Independent Review".Fu Sinian pointed out in the article that China is facing the greatest crisis in history, and society and culture are on the verge of total collapse. Because of the total unemployment, all citizens have become beggars. How many, the warlord naturally became the leader of the beggars, so the northern and southern governments were divided equally between a group of rogue coolies and beggars. "According to this situation, although there is the best government, China may not be immortal; if there is no government at all, it will be the death of the species." Therefore, Fu Sinian appealed to "all those who don't care about the death of the species and the country, please don't do it at this time." To make waves, this is not something that can be done with ease."

On December 12, 1936, the "Xi'an Incident" broke out. Fu Sinian was extremely furious when he learned about it, and shouted, "How can the head of state be detained by thieves?"Therefore, he strongly advocated that the top leaders of the Nanjing Kuomintang immediately dispatch a large army to attack Zhang and Yang.Fu Sinian said that Zhang Xueliang's father was born in Huzi, "Zhang Thief was born to be a bandit who committed crimes."Chiang Kai-shek "at this time China is incomparably important, and his safety is more closely related to China's national destiny than anything else."Once again, they clamored to send the Central Army westward as soon as possible to encircle Xi'an in a fan shape. As long as Xi'an is surrounded, the "Zhang Zei Xueliang" will die except for defecting to the Communist Party.In response to some people's belief that sending troops to the west would anger Zhang Xueliang and endanger Chiang Kai-shek's safety, Fu Sinian insisted that the more the army suppressed the border, the less Zhang Xueliang would dare to harm Chiang. , and after Zhang surrendered, "only Jiang could save his life."

When the Pearl Harbor incident broke out in 1941, the last plane sent by the Chongqing government arrived at Hong Kong Airport on December 18 to rescue government officials and academic celebrities trapped in Hong Kong.However, Kong Xiangxi's wife, Song Ailing, and second lady, Kong Lingjun, led dozens of bodyguards to prevent others from boarding the plane, but transported their own servants, foreign dogs, toilets, spices and bed boards onto the plane!Chen Jitang, He Xiangning, Xu Chongzhi, Mao Dun, Guo Moruo, Chen Yinke and others were all intercepted and unable to board the plane and were stranded in Hong Kong.Everyone thought that Chen Yinke had passed away, so Fu Sinian shouted "Kill Kong Xiangxi to thank the world"!

Fu Sinian has always hated Kong Xiangxi. In 1938, Fu Sinian wrote to Chiang Kai-shek, criticizing Kong Xiangxi's talent and employing people, and exposing his evil deeds of connivance with his wife, son and unscrupulous businessmen to make money for the country.Chiang Kai-shek ignored it.From then on, Fu Sinian tried every means to collect materials about Kong's corruption and abuse of power for personal gain, and planned to impeach Kong Xiangxi at the Political Council.Hu Shi was in the United States at the time, and immediately wrote a letter to advise Fu not to act rashly, lest he get burned.But Fu Sinian ignored it, and began to investigate Kong's US dollar bond case.

On August 14, 1940, Fu Sinian’s letter to Hu Shi listed six reasons for his downfall of Confucianism, saying that Confucianism “corrupted money and violated the law, wanted more money if he had money, and allowed his relatives to do all kinds of evil. With this person in power, the government has no hope.” ", "Once the country reaches a more critical stage, it may not be possible to go wrong."Therefore, it is "Aixi Jiegong, you cannot but oppose him".He further stated, "As a scholar, since I can't go to battle, what can I learn from reading sage books? I have been doing this so far, and I am not ashamed of the predecessors. Criticize Nilin. If it is said that (inverting the hole) is effective or not, it is indeed shameful, but it is not absolutely irrelevant... At least it can be said that he used to be a taboo, no one dared to name him, but now he has become a drowning barrel, everyone touches it ear".

At that time, honest people from the Treasury Bureau of the Central Bank or those who had a gap with Kong Xiangxi took the opportunity to provide Fu Sinian with the internal heavyweight materials they had.Fu Sinian quickly drew up a proposal, which was read out by the secretariat of the Jiaotong Congress.Foreign Minister Wang Shijie, a member of the presidium of the conference, was horrified when he saw it, fearing that someone would use it as an excuse to "attack the government and affect the resistance against Japan" (Wang Shijie's words), and urged Fu Sinian to stop and shut up, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.Fu still insists on his own opinion, and wants to appeal to the court to confront Kong Xiangxi in court. If the charges are revealed to be false, he is willing to sit back.

According to an insider, in order to bring down Kong Xiangxi, Fu Sinian secretly collected a lot of evidence of the Kong Group's embezzlement of US dollar bonds for use in court.Cheng Cangbo, who was the editor-in-chief of Nanjing's "Central Daily" at the time, once said: "When I was in Chongqing, before a meeting of the Political Council, I went to his room several times in Juxing Village and saw him holding a small box and hiding it under the pillow. I asked him what treasure was inside? He said nervously that this was the document he was going to report against a certain official." Luo Jialun also recalled: "Once in Chongqing for a public debt case, he was in the National At the end of his speech at the Political Council, he solemnly declared that he was not only responsible for what he said inside the venue, but also outside the venue, and that he was willing to go to court to reconcile the case. This remark excited the audience, but made me sweat for him I went to see him after the meeting and asked him why he dared to make such a sure statement. He said, 'I have no basis, how can I say this.' So he showed me two photos. It can be seen that he is responsible for what he said, absolutely It is not comparable to those who can cannon, and it is definitely not the first-rate one who hears rumors. People with this kind of character are worthy of admiration."

Facing Fu Sinian's persistent persistence until he achieves his goal, Chen Bulei advised Chiang Kai-shek, asking Chiang to get rid of Kong Xiangxi secretly, so as not to cause trouble. Ask Fu Sinian to change the way of solving problems.Jiang acted according to his plan, and as expected, when he mentioned "national affairs are the most important", Fu Sinian agreed to back down, and decided to change the proposal to an inquiry and make it public, and Jiang agreed.Even so, Fu's "bombardment" still caused an uproar in the ruling and opposition parties.Soon, Chiang Kai-shek appointed Minister of Finance Yu Hongjun to investigate the source of Kong Xiangxi's financial resources.At this time, everyone took advantage of Fu Sinian's "bombardment" to beat the dog in the water.Fu Sinian bombarded Kong Xiangxi away, and since then "Fu Dapao" has become famous all over the world.

After Kong Xiangxi, Fu Sinian turned his guns on Song Ziwen, the Chief Executive.The relationship between Fu Sinian and Song Ziwen is still friendly. Fu originally placed his hopes on Song, and commented in "Ta Kung Pao" that Song and Kong Xiangxi were very different. However, Song Ziwen's performance was not as Fu Sinian hoped, so Fu Sinian reminded Song Ziwen from the aspects of poor education and the government only selling cultural plasters, hoping that the Song family could wake up.Fu wrote in "Ta Kung Pao": "When your car passed by on the streets of Shanghai, did you think how many people starved to death on this road because of your economic mistakes?"

But Song Ziwen ignored it.Fu Sinian was furious, so he attacked Song Ziwen from five aspects: gold policy, industrial policy, foreign credit, work style, Chinese cultural accomplishment and attitude.Fu Sinian published three articles consecutively within half a month, "Song Ziwen in this form must go away", "Song Ziwen's failure", and "On the must eradication of wealthy capital".Fu Sinian said that he was "very indignant, just like I was going to meet Kong Xiangxi in the court when I was in the Political Council. The country can't stand him, the people can't stand him, he should go, if he doesn't go, everything will collapse... Otherwise, It's all over!... The people of the country can't bear to see this? They don't want to see the Song family anymore!"

Regarding Fu Sinian's first public bombardment of Song Zi's literary affairs, according to He Lian's recollection: "One day in the spring of 1947, I received a letter from Fu Sinian praising "Century Review", and I wrote back asking him to write a manuscript for "Century Review". I met him in Nanjing. He told me that he wanted to write a manuscript for "Century Review", but there was one condition, that is, it should be published in the original text without changing a single word. I immediately agreed. Two days later, he handed over the manuscript to Editor-in-Chief Zhang Chunming", this article is "Song Ziwen in this form must go away".Zhang Chunming, the editor-in-chief at the time, published the seventh issue of the first volume of "Century Review" published on February 15, 1947 without changing a word, "In less than half a day, this issue of "Century Review" could not be seen in the Shanghai market. Arrived. This is not to say that the circulation of "Century Review" has suddenly increased unprecedentedly, but that someone must have bought it all from the newspaper seller. I immediately went to the "Ta Kung Pao" office to find the manager Hu Lin, and took my own I showed him a copy of "Century Review" with Fu Sinian's article. I told him that no one could buy this issue in the market, and asked him if he could publish it in "Ta Kung Pao", and he immediately agreed. The next morning, this article was published in Ta Kung Pao." After the publication of "Song Ziwen in this form must go away", it shocked the government and the public.Hu Shi recorded in his diary that day that the "World Journal" sponsored by Cheng Shewo even used the sensational headline "Fu Sinian Wants Revolution" to exaggerate it. After Fu Sinian's article was published, the Supervisory Yuan of the Nationalist Government decided to send personnel to thoroughly investigate the serious consequences of the gold craze and those responsible.Fu Sinian once again published "On the Necessity of Eradication of Rich and Family Capital" in the "Observation" magazine. The "second child" is the "double-fan live baby" under the crotch, but it is the opposite.Fu Sinian said about Song Ziwen, "His style is extremely tyrannical. He divides the world into two categories. Those who are not slaves are enemies. Needless to say, the most important problem lies in his unlimited and brutal desire to dominate. His desire to dominate has made it impossible to know the public and private in the future of everything in the world."Fu Sinian also said that Song Ziwen is indeed a rare monster in a hundred years. As the eldest son of the prominent Song family, he has received the most advanced cultural education at Harvard University. "I like to use English instead of Chinese when thinking, speaking, and writing ", only the greed for power and wealth is Chinese style, "Under the failure of the Song family today, he must go away to thank the people of the country." On the day "Observation" published Fu Sinian's article, Song Ziwen proposed to resign under the pressure of huge public opinion. So far, Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen, two relatives of the royal family, have both fallen due to Fu Sinian's bombardment.Someone wrote an article in a newspaper to praise Fu Sinian: "In the past ten years, the fire of justice has been burning in his heart, forcing him to leave the academic palace and devote part of his energy to consulting state affairs. His words are the weeping and roaring of millions of people. ! His words also entrust the revival and regeneration of the motherland!" On the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in May 1945, Jiang Menglin inspected education in the United States.Song Ziwen, who was the executive director of the Kuomintang government, wanted Jiang Menglin to be the secretary-general of the Executive Yuan. Jiang Menglin, encouraged by his wife Tao Zenggu, readily agreed, but he did not resign from the posts of president of Peking University and member of the Standing Committee of Southwest Associated University.Fu Sinian, who was in Chongqing, was very angry at Jiang Menglin's appointment as the secretary-general, and once persuaded Jiang Ying to resign as the president of Peking University.According to Fu Sinian’s letter to Zheng Tianting on June 30, 1945: “Talk with Mr. Meng Lin (Jiang Menglin’s No. Meng Lin) first, and the first talk will make a lot of noise. It’s really good for a movie. He came the next day and said We have very good intentions and are very touching. It is no problem for Mr. (Hu) Shizhi to be the (principal of Peking University). Meng Lin’s attitude is very admirable..." On July 8, Jiang Menglin also mentioned this matter in a letter to Zheng Tianting, in which he said: "My younger brother decided to resign from the post department to adopt Meng Zhen's suggestion, because there was no public attack at that time. Meng Zhen came to the Executive Yuan, and he opened his mouth , my younger brother scolded him angrily, and he also looked at me with angry eyes. After Meng Zhen left, my younger brother deeply felt the sincerity of what he said. The more I got closer, the more I returned, and I told him that there was truth in his prejudice, and there was prejudice in the truth, so he decided to adopt his opinion. And thank him. Later, the more I thought about it, the more I felt his loyalty.” Afterwards, Jiang and Fu remained friendly as before. In August 1945, Jiang Menglin formally resigned as the president of Peking University and at the same time withdrew from Southwest Associated University. In 1948, the Kuomintang became more and more corrupt, and Fu Sinian publicly scolded the Kuomintang government as a big dung.
