Volume 3 The Five Hundred and Eighteenth Chapter of the Thousand Years of Miracles, the June 16th An
When the British army landed in the Caspian Sea on June 16, 1919, the Paris Peace Conference was about to end, and the issue about Shandong was still unresolved.w w w . .c o m Gu Weijun, spokesperson of the China Peace Talks delegation, said for the last time: "Shandong is to our country, just like Christians as for Jerusalem, they must not give up. Even if the whole nation dies in battle, they will never lose Shandong!" Gu Weijun's speech greatly shocked the representatives of European and American countries, and ultimately forced Britain, France and the United States to decide to remove the issue of Shandong's ownership from the European War Spread Conference, because Asia does not fall within the scope of the European War.
However, this issue is not not resolved, but a separate meeting will be held to resolve it. With the mediation of the United States, nine countries including Britain, France, the United States, Japan and China will resolve it together in Washington, USA, and limit their forces to prevent a new world war.
It can be said that the Paris peace talks were already extremely beneficial to China at this time, because Wang Maoru knew that Shandong was eventually returned to China with the mediation of the United States. But perhaps the Chinese people had too high expectations for this Paris Peace Conference. After the Paris Peace Conference decided to kick the ball to the Washington meeting, a reporter passed the news to the country, which immediately triggered a wave of national protests.
The May Fourth Movement was not launched, but the June 16th Movement was launched.
On June 16, 1919, because the protest powers did not immediately return Qingdao, Shandong, China, a large-scale protest was triggered nationwide. Yang Du even sent the situation of the people in the five northeastern provinces to Wang Maoru by telegram, asking him for instructions on what to do next. Now the Northeastern region is extremely excited. Faced with the Japanese who still have colonies, railways and privileges in the northeastern region, how can the people in the northeastern region not break out?
The privileges that the Japanese have in the Northeast are far beyond the imagination of modern people. Especially the South Manchuria Railway, when Chinese people accidentally enter within five kilometers of the South Manchuria Railway, Japanese people can catch people at will. Gradually, local people in the Northeast knew the hatefulness of the Japanese and stayed away from the South Manchuria Railway. However, many Chinese people who went from Zhili, Shandong, Henan and other places to the Northeast to open up land and farm. They rashly entered and were caught by the Japanese. They tied up these people and took them to the train, and threw them into the coal stove directly with coal. The Japanese despise these Chinese people as big Japanese logs and blocks, and ridiculed the Chinese people as big as big roads. And the Chinese people often have nowhere to seek justice.
This kind of harm to the Chinese people changed until Wang Maoru unified the Northeast. After Wang Maoru led the Chinese war army back from Europe, he reached an agreement with Kanto Army commander Yujiro Nakamura when he was passing through Dalian. The Chinese who accidentally entered the South Manchuria Railway in Japan would be responsible for the redemption of the law by the local government in the Northeast.
However, this hatred has been circling in the hearts of the Chinese people, especially the people in the Northeast. Which one mentioned that Japan does not grit its teeth? Although the Chinese are cowardly, they only lack a person who leads the cause and an opportunity to cause trouble. Countries around the world march. Only the Chinese will march along the way, and even do more irrational things. It is because they have accumulated all their resentment on weekdays. If they can protest every few days, who would have smashed things so passionately?
Therefore, the June 16th Movement first launched demonstrations among students from all universities in Beijing, and then marches and demonstrations were held throughout the country to boycott Japanese goods. Since Wang Maoru popularized education, the number of students has increased sharply. The students are most likely to be excited and demanded demonstrations. The person in charge, Harbala and Yang Du, immediately asked Wang Maoru how to deal with it. Wang Maoru immediately replied: "Be guide and be prepared. If the Japanese take the initiative to attack and protect students, but organize students to take the initiative to attack. This matter sets an example to guide students, and at the same time pay attention to the Soviet and Russian spies taking the opportunity to provoke trouble among the students. If a conflict breaks out, the Japanese demand severe punishment, shift the responsibility to the Soviet spies. They try to provoke relations between China and Japan and take examples of Japanese riots, hoping that they will not be fooled."
Yang Du received the order and sighed. He said to Harbala: "How can Xiushuai be so resentful to the Soviet Union? Even the tragedy that will happen is blamed on the Soviet Union. It seems that the Soviet Union must have made Xiushuai hate it very much."
Halbala smiled and said, "Xiu Shuai's consideration must be meaningful. You and I can't guess, so I'd better do it."
Subsequently, the seven-member military and political ministries of the Northeast Local Autonomous Government and the city halls of major cities announced the march route and sent police troops to protect them along the road. For Japanese shops that are prone to trouble, the Northeast government dissuaded them to close their doors and closed their business as soon as possible and restrained the flying Japanese flag. The military was responsible for protecting and guiding the march, which really made the march official and more meaningful. At the same time, the march under the protection of the army did not act excessively. The army even sent their five-color flags to the students, asking them to march with five-color flags. The Japanese ronin who originally wanted to fight with the Chinese had to retreat three points when they saw the squadron carrying guns and bayonets holding hands to protect the Chinese students and demonstrating.
The Japanese are such a nation. They bully the weak and fear the strong. When you become tough, they will become softer.
During the march, citizens continued to join, but there were 27 cities in the northeast, and there were definitely demonstrations in 27 cities with more than 100,000 people. However, the only place in the five northeastern provinces that did not cause riots due to the march and demonstration, and other cities suffered minor impacts. Officials protected the march and demonstration, guided the marchers and protected the marchers, and received special approval from the Northeast Grand Governor Wang Maoru. Wang Maoru sent a telegram "To the Northeast People" on the front line of Berkrovsk, Russia, saying: "National, country, and national strength all need self-improvement and self-discipline.
Introspection. After the demonstration, our Greater Chinese people should work hard and rise again in Asia. We are leading the world for five thousand years, and we are only one hundred years behind at this time. As long as our people work together to strengthen our efforts, they will rise again in the east of the world and become the leader of this world again. Students, study hard and serve the motherland! Workers, work hard and build the country! Farmers, work hard to plow the fields and eat the world! Gentlemen, work hard to revive the nation! Soldiers, work hard to train troops and defend the country! All Chinese people, work hard to realize the Chinese dream and realize the dream of a strong country!”
After the "To the People of Northeast" was published in the Northeast Military and Political Coordination Department, Yang Du, Jiang Fangzhen, Zhang Kui'an and others decided to change the title to "Confession to the People of China". After asking Wang Maoru, Wang Maoru said: "This title is better to change it to "The Chinese Dream, Dream of a Strong Country - Confession to the People of China". After hearing this, Yang Du shouted, and then the confession was confirmed to be published on the radio, and for a while, major newspapers published it one after another.
It was the June 16th Student Movement period, and the article "Chinese Dream, Dream of a Strong Country" was just published, which caused a sensation among many students. No matter when, there were many nationalists, especially the Chinese nation, which had been insulted by foreign enemies for a long time, was leading the world for five thousand years, but was bullied by others. How could this ancient Eastern nation not let out an outbreak? So, many scholars and celebrities talked about the strong country, the nation, and the country.
The June 16th Movement was not as fierce as the May Fourth Movement in history, and even assaulted government departments and beat government officials. Because of the government's toughness on the outside and the Shandong issue was not resolved, powerful countries such as Britain, France and the United States decided to start solving it in the Washington Agreement in October. At the same time, newspapers and authoritative people said that because the Japanese navy gradually became stronger and had already threatened the status of other great powers, it was very likely that the great powers would sanction Japan in the Washington Agreement, and that Japan would have to return China to Shandong.
In fact, the May Fourth Movement has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage lies in the progress of cultural and political concepts, which allowed the government to experience the tide of public opinion for the first time. The first time public opinion dominated the political direction of the government. The government is no longer a government of one or two people, no longer just a government of high-ranking officials, or a government of the people.
However, this short-term democracy disappeared after decades and never appeared again. The promotion of cultural reform in vernacular Chinese and writing reforms had some progressive significance, and a large part of it destroyed the history of Chinese Confucianism inheritance. This is also the most criticized by this movement by the Chinese people. Chinese inheritance culture was destroyed and broken. Scholars in the Republic of China were the last group of people cultivated traditional culture. In the late period of the Kuomintang, it was impossible for Chinese masters to appear. All Chinese masters were educated after receiving traditional culture education. Isn’t it sad that the May Fourth New Culture led to China’s lack of culture?
Under the intentional guidance of Wang Maoru's remote control, the June 16th Movement did not carry out much reform in the cultural world. However, when the concept of a strong country was proposed, many scholars still advocated the simplification movement of Chinese characters, the vernacular movement, and the horizontal writing movement. Even the famous Zhejiang scholar Qian Xuantong proposed to abolish Chinese characters and completely westernize. He believed that the biggest obstacle to China's development was that square characters were not conducive to popularization of the people and were not conducive to literacy. He said in the newspaper: "I boldly declare that if China is not destroyed and if China is a civilized nation in the 20th century, it must be fundamentally solved by abolishing Confucius and destroying Taoism. The abolition of Chinese writing that records Confucius' theories and Taoism's evil words is especially fundamentally solved."
In order to deal with China's nationwide anti-Japanese march, Japan had to order residents to stay in jail, not to scatter, and not to leave the concession without authorization. It also called Duan Qirui and asked Duan Qirui to strictly order the boycott of Japanese goods to stop the anti-Japanese march. At the same time, it called Wang Maoru and asked Wang Maoru to strictly suppress the anti-Japanese people in Northeast China.
