"Zhang Zongxiang's injuries are very serious?" Yang Shuoming thought for a while and asked.

"Minister Zhang suffered more than 50 injuries all over his body, and he was hit the head several times, but fortunately, this reporter Zhongjiang Chouji rescued him and sent him to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, and he is not out of danger at present." Long Yonghua said, "When Minister Zhang heard that the student who caused the accident had been arrested, he also entrusted his wife to submit a bail on his behalf. ”

"He, Zhang Zongxiang, is quite graceful in this matter." Fu Hongru was surprised when he heard that Zhang Zongxiang was seriously injured and wanted to bail the students, but he couldn't help but secretly admire.

"That reporter Zhongjiang Chouji, in order to protect Minister Zhang, was also injured, but fortunately, it was all flesh wounds, not serious." Long Yonghua said.

"What is the origin of this person? Why is it at Chief Cao's house? Yang Shuoming asked.

"This Zhongjiang Chouji is the son of Jiang Zhaomin, the philosopher of Zhongjiang, when Cao Rulin studied in Yueben, he lived in Zhongjiang Zhaomin's house, and was very taken care of by Zhongjiang Zhaomin's widow, and became close friends with Zhongjiang Chouji." Long Yonghua replied, "It should be normal for him to appear in the Cao family. ”

"This Zhongjiang Chouji is different from other people, he likes our Chinese culture very much, has always advocated friendship with China, and opposes the China policy of the political axe," Chen Qiansheng smiled bitterly and said on the side, "It can be regarded as a pro-China faction." ”

"I see." Yang Shuoming nodded, "Then how did the students come up with the idea of going to Cao Mansion to set fires?" ”

"It is said that after the march to the embassy area was blocked by foreign troops, the crowd was so excited that there was nowhere to vent, and some of them proposed to go to Zhao's house to protest, and the procession was rerouted, until the house was burned and beaten." Long Yonghua, who is also a student, also seems to be dissatisfied with the students' actions, "It can also be said that it was an accident." ”

"There's definitely something strange about that." Yang Shuoming frowned, shook his head, and said softly, "It's not an accident. ”

Hearing that Yang Shuoming had come to such a conclusion, everyone present was taken aback.

Long Yonghua looked at Yang Shuoming a little nervously, and his heart hung up involuntarily.

As the earliest acquaintance with Yang Shuoming, he has always had an indescribable reverence for this young man of his age who saved his life and led him to a different path in life.

Today's Yang Shuoming has become a warlord on the side of Megatron, and the awe-inspiring power that unconsciously reveals between words often makes Long Yonghua feel inexplicably afraid.

At this time, the conference hall was silent, except for the slightly heavy breathing of people.

"Is there any news about the 'Far Eastern Republic' that the Russians have built?" Yang Shuoming asked.

Listening to Yang Shuoming's words, which were completely inconsistent with what he had just talked about the burning of Zhao's house in Yanjing City, the people in the house were stunned again.

The "Far Eastern Republic" is a republic recently declared by Soviet Russia in the Far East and the West Baikal region.

The participants didn't expect that Yang Shuoming's thinking could suddenly jump to this so-called "Far Eastern Republic", and he didn't turn his mind for a while, and Long Yonghua was the same, after he reacted, he immediately replied: "Not yet." ”

"The war in Europe is over, we can pull out our hands and solve this problem properly." Yang Shuoming suddenly let out a gloomy sneer that seemed to come from the depths of hell, causing everyone in the conference hall to shudder.

"What does Hanzhi mean by this, that you decided to go north?" Hearing Yang Shuoming's words, Chen Qiansheng immediately understood what he was going to do, and couldn't help but say a little anxiously, "The career here has just begun, don't you ......?"

Just a few days ago, Yang Shuoming received a telegram from Yanjing Zhengaxe to transfer him to the military affairs supervisor of the three eastern provinces.

In this telegram, Yan Jing Zheng Axe highly affirmed his achievements in quickly quelling the rebellion in the south and developing the economy of the Liangguang, Yunnan, and Guizhou regions, and gave him the honorary title of "General Shengwei", and then asked him to go north to take up the post of military affairs supervisor of the three eastern provinces, responsible for the formation of the "Frontier Army of the Three Eastern Provinces" (that is, the Siberian Intervention Army that the Entente required China to form), and the post of Liangguang Patrol Envoy was abolished.

Regarding this telegram, Xu Yuanjin, Tang Jing, Chen Jiongming, Cheng Biguang, Gu Pinzhen, Fu Hongru and other generals all expressed their opposition, believing that this was Duan Qirui's conspiracy and must not be obeyed. But Yang Shuoming did not make it clear that he wanted to refuse and obey.

"The foundation has been laid, and with all of you here, I have nothing to worry about." Yang Shuoming understood what Chen Qiansheng meant, smiled faintly, and said.

"I think you should discuss it with everyone." Fu Hongru looked at Yang Shuoming, and his expression became solemn, "It won't take too long to send a telegram to Lao Xu, Shocking, Jingcun, Hengqi and General Gu." ”

"No need." Yang Shuoming shook his head and said, "Just tell them when the time comes." ”

"I don't understand why Hanzhi is in such a hurry to return to Yanjing." Fu Hongru changed his calm and elegant attitude when he met Yang Shuoming in Tianyun Mountain, and said a little anxiously, "What's the matter?" Are you going to give up your roots? ”

"I didn't say I was going to give up." Yang Shuoming saw that everyone was a little anxious, smiled, and said, "I just don't want those countries with ill intentions to take advantage of it." ”

"Hanzhi is talking about Ben and Soviet Russia?" Chen Qiansheng asked.

Yang Shuoming looked at this scholar who was bewitched by Soviet Russia and became a famous leader in the early days of the Chinese Bu Party in the original historical time and space, and nodded.

"I'm not too worried about it now, because the navy is enough to deal with them." Yang Shuoming said, "What I am worried about is the infiltration and sabotage of our country by Soviet Russia. ”

"Soviet Russia has not been established for a long time, and it is still difficult to protect itself, but I am afraid that it may not have the spare strength to invade our country." Chen Qiansheng said disapprerovingly, "What's more, they still want to make friends with our country, and last year their leader Lenin also issued a manifesto, saying that they would abolish all unequal treaties between Tsarist Russia and our country, and return all the land occupied by Tsarist Russia to our country. ”

"They made such a declaration at that time in order to get out of isolation and have time to consolidate internally. Compared with the original Tsarist Russia, Soviet Russia was more ferocious and cunning, and its ambitions for our country would not change because of any doctrine. Yang Shuoming understood that Chen Qiansheng, as a scholar who had studied social favoritism, had a good impression of those seductive mouths in Soviet Russia that was not easy to eliminate for a while, and even said a rough sentence, "The children are dead, and you are coming to milk, who are you fooling?" ”

"Don't forget, at that time, General Xiao Xu had already recovered Outer Mongolia and Tangnu Wulianghai, and the Western powers also promised to cancel the unequal treaties after the war, they were just sending an empty favor, and it should not be true." Fu Hongru also sneered and said.

"What's more, what happened in the capital this time is also related to them. Because a chaotic China is not only beneficial to Japan, but also to Russia. Yang Shuoming continued, "Leninism, in essence, is aimed at aggression, and since it pursues the principle of 'overthrowing all existing social systems by violence,' then all talk about peace is only an expedient measure when the strength is insufficient, and it is a strategy, which can be discarded when the time comes." ”

Hearing Yang Shuoming's later words, Chen Qiansheng understood a little, and nodded involuntarily.

Although Yang Shuoming's academic research in this area is not as good as Chen Qiansheng's, he is after all a "man from the past", and he knows much more about the disasters brought to the world by communalism in later generations and the evils of the Soviet Empire's export of revolution to foreign countries than people of this era.

"Hanzhi has a point. It would be terrible if they were really behind the scenes to instigate the students to use violence against the political axe. Chen Qiansheng said.

"If the students are really instructed by them, then their Beiyang Department will be in big trouble." Fu Hongru said in a deep voice.

Although Fu Hongru was born in the green forest, as Tang Jing's former military advisor, he knew much more clearly than scholars like Chen Qiansheng about the serious consequences that similar conspiracies might cause.

"Yes, I'm worried that they will make bigger moves, so even if it is to prevent the country from falling into a state of political axe, I will return to the capital." Yang Shuoming smiled faintly and said, "Besides, my wife and children are still in Beijing." I don't want to see anything happen to them. ”

"What does Hanzhi mean, does it mean that they are likely to continue to encourage the students and lead to even greater trouble?"

When Yang Shuoming's words came to this, Chen Qiansheng also completely woke up, and couldn't help but say with anxiety.

"It's a definite thing." Yang Shuoming nodded, "Once Soviet Russia fully intervenes in China's internal affairs, the Chinese people will be provoked by the so-called 'ism', drown in infighting and cannot extricate themselves, and hatred will increase in cruelty and cruelty. ”

Hearing Yang Shuoming's words, Chen Qiansheng and Fu Hongru couldn't help but shudder.

"It's better for you to go back." At this time, Fu Hongru had been completely persuaded by Yang Shuoming, and he also understood why Yang Shuoming would decide to return to Beijing so firmly, "Moreover, for Hanzhi, this student tide is also a rare opportunity." ”

"What rare opportunity?" Fu Hong

At the end of the meeting, when Fu Hongru returned to his residence, it was already dark.

As soon as Fu Hongru sat down on the chair, a voice like a silver bell came out of the inner room.

"He's going to be too long, isn't he?" There was obvious dissatisfaction in his voice.

"Ninth sister?" Fu Hongru heard the other party's voice and immediately stood up, and at this time, the door curtain flashed, and Tang Jiumei, who was dressed in a pretty Han costume, jumped out.

"What did he say today? Uncle Fu? Are you going back to the capital? Tang Jiumei turned around Fu Hongru's side with dexterous steps, as if she had returned to the Tianyun Mountain Cottage.

"You guessed it, what a smart doll." Fu Hongru looked at Tang Jiumei with some surprise and said, "That's right, maybe I'm going to leave in the next few days." ”

"Oh." Tang Jiumei's gaze suddenly dimmed for some reason.

Fu Hongru noticed the strangeness of Tang Jiumei's expression, he seemed to understand something, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

"His return to Beijing this time is different from the last time, and he needs to be escorted by a personal person. If the ninth sister is willing, I think it would be better for the ninth sister to protect him, after all, they are all people who came out of the old nest. ”

"Okay." Tang Jiumei nodded a little shyly and replied softly. Although she tried hard to suppress her joyful appearance, she still let Fu Hongru see it.

For the daughter of this old master, he has always regarded it as his own daughter.

"Little slippery head, nothing else, go to sleep. It's getting late. Fu Hongru said with a smile.

"Well, thank you, Uncle Fu." Tang Jiumei happily ran away.

Seeing Tang Jiumei's figure disappear at the door, Fu Hongru sat down at the table again, he thought about it, took out his pen and ink, and began to write a letter.

On September 27, 1920, Yanjing, Jurentang, the presidential palace of the Republic of China.

At this time, the military and political dignitaries of the Chinese political axe were listening to an official read the "Note from the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China" in Chinese:

"More than a year ago, on July 25, 1919, the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation issued a manifesto to the Chinese people and to the political axes of the north and south of China, stating that the Russian political axes would abrogate all the tsarist treaties previously concluded with China and return to the Chinese Chinese people all that the tsarist political axes and the Russian bourgeoisie had seized and possessed by force, and at the same time suggested that the Chinese political axes enter into formal negotiations with our country in order to establish friendly relations."

"Now we have been informed that the Chinese political axe has received this declaration, and we know that all different strata and groups of the Chinese people have expressed their sincere hope that the Chinese political axe will negotiate with our country to establish friendly relations between China and Russia."

"We ask the Chinese political axe to send a military-diplomatic delegation to Moscow, and we will welcome the Chinese delegation to Moscow with great joy. We hope to obtain mutual understanding of the common interests of China and Russia through direct negotiations with your representatives. We believe that for the common happiness of the two peoples, there are no insoluble problems between Russia and the Chinese people. We know that the enemies of Russia and the Chinese people are doing their utmost to hinder the friendship and proximity of our two countries, and they understand that the friendship and mutual assistance of our two nations will make China so strong that no foreigner can enslave and plunder China and the Chinese people as they do now. ”

"Regrettably, there are certain obstacles to the speedy establishment of friendly relations between Russia and China. We hope that your country will be convinced of our sincerity and friendly attitude toward China, but we have not yet received the necessary instructions to set about fixing the friendship between the two peoples. ”

"The People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union regrets that the slowdown in the approach between the two countries has prevented the realization of important political and trade interests of both sides. In order to help and accelerate the establishment of friendship between the peoples of the two countries, we hereby declare: We resolutely abide by the principles set forth in the Declaration of the Russian Soviet Government of July 25, 1919, and conclude a Sino-Russian friendship agreement on the basis of these principles. ”

"In order to develop the principles of the previous declaration, the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs considers it necessary to present to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China the following points of agreement in the interests of both countries:"

"1. The Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic declares that all treaties concluded between the previous political axes and China are null and void, that all the territories previously seized of China and all Russian concessions in China will be renounced, and that everything that the Tsarist and the Russian bourgeoisie have seized from China will be returned to China permanently and without compensation."

"2. The two countries shall take all necessary measures to establish regular trade and economic contacts without delay. Subsequently, the two parties will conclude separate treaties in this regard in accordance with the principle of most-favoured-nation. ”

"3. The Government of the Republic of China undertakes the following obligations: (1) not to give any support to counter-revolutionary individuals, groups or organizations in Russia and not to allow them to operate in China. (2) To disarm and detain the troops and organizations that remained in China at the time of the signing of this treaty against Soviet Russia and its allies, and to extradite them to the Russian political axe, and to transfer all their arms, materiel, and property to the Russian political axe. (3) The Russian government has the same obligations to those individuals and organizations engaged in the insurrectionary struggle against the Republic of China. ”

"4. All Russian citizens residing in China shall be subject to all laws and regulations in force in the territory of the Republic of China and shall not enjoy any extraterritoriality. Chinese citizens residing in Russia are subject to all laws and regulations in force in the Soviet Union. ”

"5. The political axe of the Republic of China shall undertake the following obligation: Immediately after the conclusion of this treaty, the political axe of China shall sever all relations with those who have not been appointed by the political axe of Soviet Russia and who have appointed themselves diplomatic and consular representatives of Russia, and shall expel them from the territory of China as well."

"Return to Russia the real estate belonging to the Russian embassy and consulate in China, as well as other property and archives of the embassy and consulate, to Russia, represented by the Soviet Russian political axe."

"6. The Russian political axe renounces any indemnity paid by China as a result of the Boxer Rebellion, on the condition that the political axe of the Republic of China shall not under any circumstances pay such indemnity to the former Russian consul or any other individual or Russian group who unlawfully made such a claim."

"7. Immediately after the signing of this treaty, the Republic of China and the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic shall exchange diplomatic and consular representations."

"8. The political axes of Russia and China agreed that a special treaty on the use of the Middle Eastern Railway should be concluded separately for Soviet Russia, and that in addition to China and Russia, the Far Eastern Republics would also participate in the conclusion of the treaty."

"The People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs has put forward the above points as the main provisions, and the Chinese political axe can also propose amendments for the common interests of the two countries."

"The relations between the two peoples of China and Russia are not limited to the points mentioned in the above-mentioned agreement, and the representatives of the two countries will need to settle trade, border, railway, tariff and other issues in a separate special agreement in the future."

"We will take all measures to establish the closest and sincere friendship between the two sides, and hope that the Chinese political axe will have the same sincerity and will quickly make proposals so that a treaty of friendship can be concluded as soon as possible."

"Deputy People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs: Karahan."

After listening to the reading of the full text of the Soviet Russian political axe's declaration on China, many of the participants showed disapproval on their faces.

"If it's a political axe declaration, why don't you see its leader's signature? And just a diplomat of what kind of deputy? Vice President Feng Guozhang asked with some annoyance, "It's just talking!" ”
