Chapter 367: "Anti-Japanese Movement"

Wang Hengyue launched the Northern Expedition, and all parts of the country also protested against the Beiyang political axe and the political axe, especially the movement of the students was more intense!

The Chinese's anger against Yuben, as the Paris Peace Conference progressed, the inside story was gradually exposed step by step, and it has gradually become unstoppable.

May 7 is said to be the commemoration of the national humiliation, because on this day in the fourth year of the Republic of China, the day was said to Yuan Shikai to put forward an ultimatum for the twenty-one articles, so every year in the future, the people of the whole country will hold a painful commemoration on this day.

Earlier, a large number of students took to the streets to protest against the inaction of the Beiyang political axe at the Paris Peace Conference, and hundreds of people were arrested.

Wang Hengyue's response was swift, and immediately after the Northern Expedition began, he telegraphed the whole country and telegraphed the people of the whole country to his four-point proposition, which is the "Wang Si Article", which are as follows:

"(1) The special envoy of the telegram to the European Peace Conference must strive for the Qingdao issue no matter what, and will never sign it unless it is obtained.

The representatives of Britain, the United States, France, and Italy were telegraphed to state that Qingdao could not be used as a reason for their existence, and that China's declaration of war against Germany was supposed to eliminate the doctrine of force. China is not the only one that suffers from it, that is, the future troubles of all countries in the world, and it is time before it happens.

(3) Send a telegram to the provincial capitals, education associations, and chambers of commerce, asking them to call Beijing to fight for diplomatic issues and rescue the arrested students.

The National Assembly sent delegates to Yanjing to demand that the traitors be punished quickly and severely and that the students be released. ”

As soon as Wang Hengyue's power came out, the students suddenly felt cordial to Wang Hengyue, regarded them as their strongest support, and were even more full of expectations for Wang Hengyue.

It seems that only when Wang Hengyue unifies the whole country can China really stop bowing its head in front of the great powers.

At the same time, with the introduction of Wang Hengyue's electrification, the enthusiasm of the students has been fully dispatched!

When Zhang Zongxiang returned to China from the Tokyo East Railway Station last month, he was surrounded by the students who stayed behind and was doubly insulted.

In Tokyo, every year since the 21st Treaty, a national humiliation commemoration meeting has been held on May 7, but of course the Masamu Motomoto has tried various methods to prevent it, and it is difficult for students to rent a venue. On May 7, the 7th year of the Republic of China, because the students could not find a suitable venue, they met to pretend to be diners, went to a Chinese restaurant for dinner, and used the restaurant to hold a meeting. In the end, all 34 students who participated in the meeting were detained at the police station and subjected to all kinds of insults and abuses, which provoked all the students to strike and return to China to carry out an anti-Japanese movement.

May 7 of the 8th year of the Republic of China was even more of a big day, but the police did their best to stop it, and the students could not find the venue at all, so they sent a representative to meet Zhuang Jingke, the acting minister of China, and wanted to use the legation to hold a commemorative ceremony to guarantee that order would be strictly observed and that no accidents would occur. Zhuang Jingke did not refuse in person, but on the evening of the 6th, the inside and outside of the Chinese legation were full of patrol police and gendarmes, dense layers, as if facing a great enemy, and the embassy was full of lights and melodious strings.

Seeing this, the students knew that the embassy would not lend the venue, so they decided that night to assemble on the morning of the 7th of July, and divided into two groups, one group to get off the bus from Aoibashi and the other group to get off from Miyakesaka, and to submit their submissions to the embassies of various countries in Yugaku, and then to assemble and disperse at Hibiya Park. Each group presumed that the picketers were responsible for maintaining order.

At the same time, the negotiator is presumed to explain the problem in the event of a malfunction.

The first group was attacked three times in succession, after 2 p.m., 4 p.m. and 4 p.m., in the alleys of the German Legation, near Otemachi and Hibiya Park. The students explained that this was a peaceful march and did not hinder public order, but the police were not satisfied with the white cloth slogans held by the students: "Break militarism", "Maintain permanent peace", "Directly take back Qingdao", "May 7 National Shame Commemoration" and other words, said that the police wanted to come forward to capture the flag, of course the students refused, so the police raised their swords and cut head-on, and the horse team also charged towards the procession, under the ravages of swords and horses' hooves, more than half of the students in this group were cut and trampled. Flags were also taken away and several people were arrested.

However, the students still braved their lives to advance, and when they arrived at the British Embassy, there were only a few hundred students left, and they asked to see the British Envoy, who received them and warmly persuaded the students: "You are patriotic and admirable, and I have conveyed the political axe of our country to the present time, but if you want to go to the embassies of other countries, it is better to send representatives there, lest there be too many people and violate the laws and regulations of this book." ”

The international student handed over the statement and transferred it to the French Embassy, which was slightly different from the British Embassy. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the students moved to Yubiya Park to wait for another group, but they were rushed by a large number of military and police, and the white cloth flags of all the students were seized. A student surnamed Gong was snatched by the police holding the national flag and refused to let go, while another student, Wu Ying, rushed to defend the national flag, was beaten by the police, and dragged away with a rope. The other students were so angry that they desperately tried to rescue Wu Ying before they could recapture Wu Ying, and the rest of the people rushed to the Chinese Youth Association, already exhausted.

Another group of students who got off the train at Kwaiqiao went to the US Embassy to ask to see the US envoy, but because the US envoy was ill, the special clerk was ordered to see on his behalf, and the students submitted a statement, and the US embassy representative promised to immediately telegraph to the US political axe and the US representative at the Paris Peace Conference. After the students resigned, they were transferred to the Swiss Embassy, but they were prevented from entering by the police, and they were immediately elected to enter the embassy to deliver their statements. Then he went to the Russian embassy, where the Russian envoy met with the students and said: "My country has not even sent a representative to attend the Paris Peace Conference, and although the ambassador is very sympathetic to the actions of the princes, it is a pity that he is unable to help them." ”

This group of students successfully completed the petition to the three embassies of the United States, Sweden, and Russia, and all of them said excitedly: The foreign embassies still let us petition, why the Chinese embassies have closed their doors and ignored them, which is really hateful, and it is still early for us to meet at the Yubigu meeting, so it is better to go to the Chinese legations to petition. As soon as this proposal came out, it was unanimously approved.

So everyone was very emotional, and the whole team went straight to the Chinese Legation.

Unexpectedly, not far from the arrival of the Chinese Embassy, a brigade of military policemen suddenly came, pacing on horseback, sword forest, and without asking for reason, they rushed to the front of the student team and demanded the national flag. At the forefront 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 also seriously injured. Li Jing'an, a 10-year-old primary school student, was also washed down, and the police ran over and trampled on his abdomen with their feet.

The group was also scattered and scarred, and the students fought and retreated, so they had to flee in all directions, fleeing to the Chinese YMCA to join another group. However, the fierce police followed, broke into the YMCA, and forced the students to disband immediately.

It was later found that a total of 36 students from the two groups were arrested by the police. At the same time, he made representations to Zhuang Jingke, the acting minister of the People's Republic of China, and Jiang Yong, the superintendent of the overseas students, and asked them to immediately negotiate with the political axe and release the arrested students. Zhuang and Jiang ignored them, and the students became even more angry, but fortunately, Ma Boyuan was willing to run and went to the police station to inquire in person, and found that 23 of the arrested students were at the Koji Town Police Station, 11 people were at the Biya Police Station, and two people were at the Town Police Station. As for the detained students at the Biya Police Station, they should not be released because this newspaper reported that Hu Jun had slashed the police officer with a knife, and that Hu Jun should be transferred to Tokyo Prison for punishment because the newspaper published that Hu Jun should be transferred to Tokyo Prison for punishment at the Biya Police Station.

The Tokyo incident shook the international community, and it was especially an encouragement to the patriotic movement in China, because the patriotic movement was an anti-Japanese movement, and the anti-Japanese action was launched by the students who stayed in the country, which was so heroic and really touching, so this incident strengthened the anti-Japanese patriotic movement throughout the country.

The Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce also launched a campaign not to buy goods, and Guangzhou, controlled by Wang Hengyue, organized a national diplomatic support association.

The situation of Yanjing's political axe is really anxious, and the Paris Peace Conference is unable to cope with it.

It is said that Ben has no possibility of letting go of the Shandong issue, and the resulting student tide has spread throughout the country, and with the north-south problem, the northern expedition in the south has begun. It is in Yanjing that although the Anhui and Anfu systems are two and one, one and two, Xu Shichang and the old transportation system are united, and the outside is to win over the direct line and even the south.

All of this shows that China was divided and in a difficult situation at that time.

The student tide in Yanjing was very angry to Duan Qirui, and he instructed Yao Zhen, a member of the Anfu faction and president of the Dali Academy, to propose that the first student who caused trouble must be identified and punished according to law. At the same time, the cabinet members of the Anfu Department were instructed to rectify the style of study.

Duan Qirui angrily accused the Qian cabinet of being incompetent and too weak to deal with the student uprising, and Fu Zengxiang shielded the student lord, and his accusation began the movement of the Anfu Congress to topple the cabinet.

9. Students above the middle school level in Yanjing established the Federation of Students, and soon Tianjin, Shanghai, Wuhan and other major cities across the country also established the Federation of Students, and the All-China Federation of Students was established in Shanghai.

People in the industrial and commercial circles across the country launched a boycott of the goods and organized a national salvation reserve. Shanghai also set up countless "National Salvation Regiments," and subsequently established the "China Federation of Tens of Nationalities."

The students in Yenching organized a number of speech teams to carry out the anti-national salvation movement with propaganda speeches.

The student tide and political tide angered Duan Qirui, the real master of Yanjing.

He mobilized his potential to pressure Yanjing to remove Li Changtai, the commander of the infantry army who had a moderate attitude towards suppressing the student movement, and replaced him with Wang Huaiqing, known as the "butcher".

Duan Dang originally planned to reorganize the Gyeonggi Garrison Headquarters into the Gyeongshi Garrison Governor's Office, expand its scope of authority, control the military and police in Yanjing, and impose long-term martial law, but it was reluctant to do so because the diplomatic corps was quite unreasonable.

And at this time, Wang Hengyue also shot again in the south!
