Chapter 367 Anti-Japanese Movement
Wang Hengyue launched the Northern Expedition, and various places also protested heavily against the Beiyang government and the Japanese government, especially the students' movements became even more intense!
〖Chinese people's anger towards Japan, as the Paris Peace Conference progresses, the inside story is gradually exposed, and it has gradually become unstoppable.
May 7 is the National Humiliation Day. Since the 4th year of the Republic of China, Japan issued an ultimatum to Yuan Shikai for 2018, the people of the whole country will hold a memorial every year.
Previously, a large number of students took to the streets to protest against the Beiyang government's inaction in the Paris Peace Conference and were arrested hundreds of people.
Wang Hengyue's reaction was rapid. After the Northern Expedition began, he immediately issued a telegram to the whole country and informed the people of his own four points. This is the "Four Kings" of the four articles: "(I) Telephone the special envoy of the European Peace Conference. In any case, we must strive to do so. If we do not get it, we will never sign it.
The representatives of the four countries of Kuying, the United States, France and Italy stated that Qingdao cannot be used as a reason for Japan. It is a decree of war on Germany. It is a decree of force. If Qingdao is given to Japan, it is no different to establish a Germany in the East. It is not only that China suffers its disaster, but that countries around the world will suffer from it.
(III) Telephone the provincial capitals, education associations, and chambers of commerce, asking them to call Beijing unanimously, strive for diplomatic issues and rescue arrested students.
The National Congress today recommended representatives to Beijing, demanding that the traitors be punished quickly and the students be released.
As soon as Wang Hengyue's telegram was released, the students immediately felt intimate about Wang Hengyue, regarded it as their strongest support, and were also more excited about Wang Hengyue.
It seems that only Wang Hengyue unified the country can truly make China no longer bow its head in front of the great powers.
At the same time, with the introduction of Wang Hengyue's telegram, the enthusiasm of the students was even more dispatched!
The anti-Japanese patriotism among students studying in Japan was particularly high. Last month, when Zhang Zongxiang returned from Japan, he was surrounded by students studying in Japan at Tokyo East Station and was insulted.
In Tokyo, since the 221st agreement, a national humiliation commemoration meeting will be held every year on May 7. The Japanese government of course used various methods to prevent it. It is difficult for students to rent a venue. In the Republic of China 7
On May 7, 2019, international students were unable to find the appropriate venue, so they made an appointment to pretend to be diners and went to a Chinese restaurant to have a dinner party. They were followed by Japanese police. As a result, the students fought with the police like tigers and wolves, and many students were beaten and bruised.
Finally, all 34 students who participated in the meeting were detained in the police station and suffered various insults and abuses. Therefore, all students studying in Japan were called on to strike and return to China to carry out the anti-Japanese movement.
May 7, 8th year of the Republic of China, was a big day, but the Japanese police made every effort to stop them. The students who stayed in Japan could not find the venue at all, so they sent representatives to meet the Chinese acting minister Zhuang Jingke, who wanted to use the embassy to hold a memorial ceremony to ensure strict order and never have any accidents. Zhuang Jingke did not refuse in person, but on the evening of the 6th, the Chinese Embassy was filled with Japanese patrols and military police, layers of which were as if they were facing a great enemy. The embassy was bright and the lanterns were melodious. When the students inquired, it turned out that the famous Peking Opera Qingyi Mei Lanfang was singing the Tianniao San in the embassy.
Seeing this, the students knew that the embassy would not lend the venue. They decided that night to gather on the morning of the seventh day and divided into two groups, one group got off from Aoiba Bridge, the other group got off from Miyakasaka, and submitted submissions to the embassies of various countries in Japan, and then gathered and dispersed in Hibiya Park. Each group assumed that the pickets were responsible for maintaining order.
At the same time, the negotiator is assumed to be responsible for explaining the failure.
The first group of parades encountered three attacks in succession. It was at 2:00 pm, 4:00 and 4:00 pm, and was located near the side lane of the German Embassy, near Otecho and Hibiya Park. Japanese police cooperated with the horse team to rush over and threatened to disband. The students explained that this was a peaceful parade and did not hinder public order. However, Japanese police were not satisfied with the white cloth slogans held by the students: "Break militarism", "Sustaining permanent peace", "Turn directly recovering Qingdao", "May 7 National Shame Memorial", and the Japanese police stepped forward to seize the flag, and the students refused. So Japanese police raised their swords and chopped head-on, and the horse team also charged forward to the parade. Under the ravage of sword light and horse hooves, more than half of the students in this group were cut and stepped on, and the flags were also taken away, and many people were arrested.
However, the students still risked their lives to move forward. When they arrived at the British Embassy, there were only more than a hundred students left. They asked to meet with the English envoy, and the English envoy would like to send them to the students. They gently advised the students: "You are patriotic, admirable. I am here to convey to my government today. However, if you want to go to the embassy of other countries, it is best to send representatives to avoid excessive numbers and violate the Japanese decree."
The international students were about to hand over the statement and went to the French Embassy. The situation was similar to the British Embassy. At 4 pm, the students went to Ribigu Park to wait for another group, but were unexpectedly rushed by a large number of Japanese military and police. All the white flags of international students were taken away. A student named Gong was robbed by the Japanese police with a national flag and refused to let go. Another student Wu Ying rushed to defend the national flag, beaten by the Japanese police, and was tied and dragged away with a rope. The other students were extremely angry and fought desperately to rescue Wu Ying. The rest of the students rushed to the Chinese Youth League, and were extremely tired.
Another group of students who got off at Aoi Bridge went to the US Embassy to ask for the US envoy. Because the US envoy was sick, the special order was given by the Registrar of the "Shu" to meet with the student. The student submitted a statement. The representative of the US embassy replied that he immediately sent a message to the US government and the US representative of the Paris Peace Conference. After resigning, the students transferred to the Swiss embassy. They were blocked by the Japanese police and were not allowed to enter. They immediately recommended the representative to enter the embassy to send the statement. Then they went to the Russian embassy. The Russian envoy met the student and said, "The country has not even sent representatives to attend the Paris Peace Conference. Although the ambassador sympathized with the actions of you, it was a pity that he was unable to do so and it was difficult to help.
This group of students successfully completed the petition to the three embassies of the United States, Switzerland and Russia. Everyone said enthusiastically: The foreign embassy also asked us to petition. Why did the Chinese embassy stay closed and ignore it? It is really hateful. It was too early to meet in Hibiya, so it would be better to go to the Chinese embassy to petition. As soon as this proposal was made, everyone agreed.
So everyone was in a very high mood and the whole team went straight to the Chinese Embassy.
Unexpectedly, he was about to arrive at the Chinese Embassy, and suddenly a brigade of Japanese military and police came. They walked on horseback and walked in the forest of swords. They ran towards the front of the student team without asking for the national flag. The leader of the flag was Du Zhong, a student from Shandong who was lonely and weak, and was knocked down. Not only was the national flag taken away, but he was also seriously injured. [Primary school student Li Jingan was only 0 years old and was also knocked down. The Japanese police also ran over and trampled on his abdomen with his feet.
The team was also dispersed and covered in scars. The students fought and retreated, so they had to flee to the Chinese Youth Association to meet with another group. However, the fierce Japanese police followed them and broke into the Youth Association, forcing the students to disband immediately.
It was later found that 36 people were arrested by Japanese police. When the Youth Council Officer Ma Boyuan held a temporary aftermath meeting to discuss the measures, he also negotiated with the Chinese acting minister in Japan Zhuang Jingke and the international student supervisor Jiang Yong, and asked them to negotiate with the Japanese government immediately and release the arrested students.
Zhuang and Jiang ignored it, and the students were angry. Fortunately, Ma Boyuan was willing to run away and went to the Japanese police station to inquire. It was found that there were 23 arrested students in the Jumachi District Police Station, and there were two in the Hibiya Police Station. After Ma's running, 23 arrested students in the Jumachi District Police Station were released on May 8. As for the detained students in the Hibiya Police Station, because the Japanese newspaper reported that Hu Jun slashed Japanese police with a knife, he should not be released. Hu Jun should be transferred to Tokyo Prison in the Hibiya Police Station, so he repeatedly delayed until May 4th before he was released.
The Tokyo incident shocked the international community, especially an encouragement to the domestic patriotic movement. The patriotic movement is the anti-Japanese movement, and the anti-Japanese movement was launched by students studying in Japan in Japan. It was so heroic and touching, so this incident further strengthened the national anti-Japanese patriotic movement.
The Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce also launched the "movement" to not buy Japanese goods, while Guangzhou, controlled by Wang Hengyue, organized a National Diplomatic Support Association.
The situation of the Beijing government is really in a state of turmoil, and the Paris Peace Conference is unable to cope with it.
Japan had no chance of letting go of the Shandong issue, and the student trend caused by this spread throughout the country. Coupled with the north and south issues, the northern expedition in the south had begun. In Beijing, although the Anhui faction and the Anfu faction were two to one, one to two, but Xu Shichang was connected with the old transportation faction, and he won over the Zhili and even the south.
All of this shows that China was in a difficult situation at that time.
Duan Qirui was very angry at the student movement in Beijing. He instructed the Anfu department and the president of Dali Academy Yao Zhen to propose that it is necessary to find out that the students who are the head of the school should be punished according to law. At the same time, he instructed the Anfu department to rectify the academic style.
Duan Qirui angrily accused Qian of being incompetent and being too weak to deal with the student movement. Fu Zengxiang covered up the academic clan, and his accusations began the Anfu Congress's downfall movement.
On the q day, students from Beijing with secondary and above established Student Unions. Soon, Tianjin, Shanghai, Wuhan and major cities across the country also established Student Unions, and the National Student Union Association was established in Shanghai.
Business people across the country initiated boycotts of Japanese goods and organized savings of the country. Shanghai also established countless "Ten-National Saving Teams" and then established the "China Ten-National Saving Team Federation".
Beijing students organized several speech teams to carry out the anti-Japanese and national salvation campaign with propaganda speeches.
The student trend and political trends angered Duan Qirui, the real master of Beijing.
He activated his potential and suppressed the Beijing government to replace Li Changtai, the infantry commander who suppressed students' movements, and replaced him with Wang Huaiqing, who was known as the "butcher".
Duan Dang-bang originally planned to reorganize the General Command of the Governor-General of the Governor-General of the Beijing Garrison, expand his scope of power, control Beijing military and police, and implement long-term Lou Yan, but he gave up because the diplomatic regiment was quite dismissive.
