Back to the Republic of China as a commander

That night, the military government sent a large amount of wine and meat, but Governor Li Yuanhong himself did not show up. The person who gave the gift said that he hadn't slept for several nights in a row.

Aid Hubei and Hunan Army held a banquet with wine, regardless of officers and soldiers, gathered together to celebrate the victory at Yudaimen Station.Everyone opened up to eat and drink, and everyone was very happy.The officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion who made great contributions were the center of the whole banquet, and Wang Zhenyu, who was in charge, was naturally the center of the center, and the officers gathered around him to toast.

Lu Diping drank two more glasses, blushed and squeezed the wine glass in front of Wang Zhenyu and shouted: "Brother Wang, you are not kind. We agreed to have a big fight in Hankou together, but you insisted on instructing my brother to do it for you!" You go to lure the enemy. Now someone said that I was greedy for life and afraid of death, and I left you in Hankou in order to escape myself. Brother, I will take the blame for you."

Lu Diping was the last team to return to Hanyang, so the whole army spread rumors that the second battalion was trapped in Hankou to cover him, Lu Diping, and that Lu Diping was the villain who abandoned his allies.When he lost the news of the second battalion at the beginning, Wang Longzhong also angrily reprimanded Lu Diping and others, and even punched him.Lu Diping is not afraid of being beaten, but he is afraid of losing face. Now the name of him abandoning his allies has spread throughout the Hubei Hunan Army. Continue to mix down.

Wang Zhenyu was stunned for a moment, it seemed that the actual situation was different from what the old man said.However, when everyone carried the sedan chair and saw the embarrassment and nervousness in Lu Diping's red eyes, Wang Zhenyu, who came from later generations, understood everything at once, and he smiled at Lu Diping: "Yes, this matter, brother I did something wrong, I should punish myself with a drink."

After drinking a cup, Wang Zhenyu spoke again: "But brother Lu wrongly blamed my brother. At that time, luring the enemy was a very critical and dangerous job. If you don't go, brother Lu, it's hard to let the children of the Hubei student army go. Hey, if that's the case, Yudaimen can't be blown up, and the brothers won't have this drink, right. So I said, brother Lu, you really blamed me, and you have to be punished, and you have to punish yourself for three cups, everyone Don't you think so?"

Everyone was drunk and booed one after another, which was equivalent to giving Lu Diping an explanation in public. Lu Diping was already very grateful to Wang Zhenyu, and quickly said: "Yes, yes, it is my brother who blamed my brother, and I will punish myself." , self-punishment."

As a result, after drinking three cups, Lu Diping was so drunk that he became unconscious and turned into a mess, this wine.

What Wang Zhenyu didn't expect was that such a trivial matter in his opinion would be exchanged for Lu Diping's lifelong friendship since then.

On November, Wang Longzhong's First Concorde and Ganxindian's Third Consortium were ordered to return to Wuchang. The wartime headquarters conveyed a very clear order that Li Yuan, Hong Li, the governor of the Hubei military government, would personally fight in this Hankou counterattack. Meritorious troops are awarded honors.

When the troops to aid the Hubei and Hunan Army marched into Wuchang City, the whole Wuchang was a sensation, and the citizens spontaneously came to the roadside to welcome the triumphant army.Colorful flags fluttered along the street, and the welcoming crowd stood on both sides, so they couldn't see the end at a glance.People excitedly stuffed eggs into the hands of the soldiers. In the eyes of the citizens, it was these brave soldiers from Hunan who defeated the Tartars and saved Hanyang and Wuchang.Otherwise, if the Tartar soldiers really came to fight, everyone would be unlucky. Had Hankou been burned down by the Tartar soldiers without seeing it!Thank goodness, fortunately, we still have such a group of heroic militiamen in front of us.

This is also the result of the military government's deliberate high-profile propaganda. The previous battles were fought too hard, with consecutive defeats, the whole Wuchang seemed to be shrouded in a cloud.Therefore, although not many Beiyang soldiers were killed in the battle of Yudaimen, considering that the battle not only achieved remarkable results, but also eased the entire battle situation.Li Yuanhong and others thought over and over again, but they didn't care about crowding out Huang Xing, and directly decided to make a high-profile publicity to boost morale and calm people's hearts.

The major media are also scrambling to report the victory of the Hankou counterattack. Although both sides insisted that they had won, the Qing government even announced that they had killed more than [-] enemies.But this will not affect the judgment of the media, because the Yudaimen station was indeed taken away by the militia, and the loud explosion could be heard clearly even in the Hankou Concession, and the Qing army did not continue to attack Hanyang after that. The action, now the fool will know who succeeded.

However, it was not "Shenbao", "Wanguo Gongpao", "Ta Kung Pao", "News" and other old newspapers that first published reports on this battle, but "Hanmin Daily", which was only established for more than ten days.

Shao Piaoping, the chief writer of "Hanmin Daily", rushed to Wuhan from Hangzhou after learning the news of the great victory in Hankou, just in time for this victory in Wuchang.But the article was not written by him alone, there is also a reporter Huang Yuansheng who became a monk halfway.No way, who made Huang Yuansheng, who was an attache of a foreign company, be in Wuhan at this moment!

Out of personal interest, Wang Zhenyu later studied a little journalism after school. Among other things, he still knows how many well-known newspaper reporters there were during the Republic of China.

I really didn't expect that when I first arrived in this era, I was very fortunate to meet the two most famous reporters in the early Republic of China, and they were still interviewees.

For the reporters of later generations, Wang Zhenyu thinks he knows quite well, especially Chinese reporters.

If American journalists are excrement pickers, then Chinese journalists are excrement eaters.

Of course, this person cannot be entirely blamed on the journalists. To a large extent, there are institutional problems and social reasons.The biggest income of Western media comes from two parts, one is advertising, and the other is sales volume. In fact, it boils down to sales volume.

The key to sales is the recognition of readers. You can imagine that a newspaper that sings praises and flatters every day, such as Pravda in the former Soviet Union, no matter how truthful its name is, it cannot conceal the fact that it is full of lies.Even if such a newspaper has a background, do you think readers with normal sexual orientation will buy it with their own money?But will advertisers spend money to place advertisements on newspapers that have no readers to pay for them?

What is the choice of the market, it is like this.You can say that it is inferior to Liba people, but this is in line with human nature.

The Chinese media people of later generations are in such an embarrassing position. It is definitely not acceptable to be full of lies. The stingy government basically does not allocate much money to the media. In many cases, the media is fending for itself.But it’s not enough to tell the truth, there are layers of audits, severe administrative punishments afterwards, and overt or covert high-voltage lines.Media reporters and contemporary doctors are trying to survive in the cracks, and gaining both fame and fortune is tantamount to dreaming the Chinese dream.

At this time, if a reporter wants to live a good and nourishing life, he can only play one role, that is, a public opinion official, or a public intellectual.

A classmate of Wang Zhenyu’s high school graduated and joined a government newspaper. The content of this newspaper is a pattern every day, reporting on the leader’s personal itinerary and the government’s performance projects, praising the wisdom of the party and the government, and depicting the tears of gratitude of the common people.If you really can't write a manuscript, it doesn't matter, just turn out the newspaper of the same period last year, copy it aside, and remember to change the time, place, and characters.Anyway, ordinary people would not spend money to buy such newspapers, and the largest readership is retired veteran cadres.

Oil and water are naturally limited, and the biggest income is that every time the government holds a meeting or the company conducts publicity, I run over to get the written speeches and red envelopes, and then convert the report body into a news body and publish it. The red envelopes are legal income. Other than the gray income.

The above is the living conditions of state media reporters in small localities.

Wang Zhenyu's cousin graduated from a university in the capital, and was assigned to a commercial newspaper in Guangzhou. It is said that it is still a bit large, specializing in real estate, and there are more insiders.You have a problem, it’s okay, I discovered the inside story during the interview, don’t rush to write a manuscript first, and then give your public relations department a call, then, I have worked hard for this manuscript, if you don’t want the truth to come out, then give Some hard work.

Of course, it also depends on the situation. Generally speaking, manuscripts that are wrong with people will be published, but it is best not to publish manuscripts that are wrong with people.A few journalists who have been dazzled by their sense of justice and conscience are often hacked to death and injured. As a result, the newspaper office is often not afraid to use you anymore.Because maybe that day you will offend Tongtian, and the leader of the newspaper will not even have to be the editor-in-chief because of you.

So what you often see is that the villains of some small people are reported in the newspapers, and the villains of the big people are ignored.

The truly brave journalists with a conscience are the ones who dare to expose behind-the-scenes dealings and the truth, not public intellectuals who are there to rant.The former is being reversely eliminated by the strict news review system, while the latter feels good about itself and is popular.

Shao Piaoping is precisely the conscientious and courageous reporter that Wang Zhenyu admires. In the entire Republic of China, this gentleman revealed the truth the most and had the most courage.Because of this, he has offended people in real power many times, making him lose his foothold in the whole of China.He could only hide in the embassy area and continue writing until he died tragically at the hands of Zhang Zuolin.Such reporters are the real dung pickers and the real warriors.As for his death, it is not so much a pity as it is that this nation still has hope, because there are still people who dare to shed blood for telling the truth.Such people are the real dung pickers, the real Chinese media people.

In addition, the history textbooks of later generations put Shao Piaoping's killing with the killing of the founder of a certain party together, often giving people the illusion that the two are closely related.However, Wang Zhenyu has verified that there is a full year difference between the deaths of the two people, and there is basically no other connection except that they both died at the hands of Zhang Zuolin.I don't know who the purpose of this kind of propaganda is to use who to promote whom!

Far away, the problem now is that Wang Zhenyu looked at Shao Piaoping with a look of adoration like a pig brother, which made Shao Piaoping have a certain liking for this civilian army officer in addition to being very inexplicable.
