Chapter 483: Chatterbox

On March 27th, when the news spread to the major media and spread to the north and south of the river, the Beiyang Army and the Southern ** Party did not care much, Yuan Shikai was reminded by Yang Du to know the news of the Northwest Army's march into Mongolia, and even this linked Mongolian independence with the Northwest March, for this, he didn't even think much about it, and said with a smile: "The Northwest is finally going to move, and now it has expanded to the whole of Mongolia, which is a lot of territory!" ”

The Northwest is taking the opportunity to expand its territory, that's right, in Yuan Shikai's consciousness, the entire Northwest belongs to the scope of Baotou, they seem to have an indescribable greed for the land, it seems that the land represents a qiē, and even for the sake of the land in the northwest, they gave up entering the center and competed with him for the right to control it.

Perhaps it has something to do with agriculture in the northwest, and the promotion of scientific planting and cotton planting can be said to have become an alternative landscape in China from 1910 to 1911, and grain and cotton were born in the land.

But for such a little bit of profit and land, he gave up something else, in Yuan Shikai's view, this is a kind of short-sightedness, if the sky is with it, if you don't take it, you will suffer a disaster, in his opinion, as long as you can earn the name of righteousness, anything can be exchanged.

What kind of place is Mongolia. What is the significance of Mongolia for China and reunification, for Yuan Shikai, it is not even as good as the military strength of a town increased by his Beiyang Army, in his opinion, Mongolia is a barren land, and it is close to the northwest, which is the bag of the northwest, and now it is equivalent to saying that Yang Yuanzhao really stretched out his hand.

Beiyang and Yuan Shikai in the north are all this reaction, Sun Yat-sen in the south doesn't care, the competition with Beiyang let him know, he can be regarded as having a taste of the disadvantages of a strong army in advance, the number is useless, hundreds of thousands of troops, defeated by the Beiyang Army, but after strict training, the three divisions can resist the Beiyang Army in positional warfare, which proves the difference between a well-trained army and a rabble, directly pulling people.

At this stage of reality, the development of the party is much better than that of later generations, although it did not occupy Hunan, Hubei, and Anhui, but in later generations, when Xinhai **, it occupied here, and even occupied most of China, but when Beiyang came out, it was directly destroyed by the Beiyang Army, and even the whole of China did not have a foothold for the party, but there were only some influential areas.

Beiyang in this era is stronger than that era, and the party has more strength because of the intervention of the northwest, and the two sides are opposed across the Yangtze River, but on the whole, the party is still pressed and beaten by Beiyang, and the control area is relatively complete Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi.

The attention of the upper echelons and the acquisition of weapons is not difficult, on the basis of the three divisions, the construction of a relatively modern army, with the rich conditions of the south, coupled with the cheap arms in the northwest, the party more than ten years ahead of schedule, mastered a powerful, and even in some respects, can confront Beiyang head-on an army, which is the foundation of the party.

This makes Sun Yat-sen a lot more comfortable in some aspects, in a sense, the strength of the party is much greater than before, in this case, the comparison between political and military meetings, there is much more room for manoeuvre, although the party and the alliance are still reorganized, the establishment of the Kuomintang, but Song Jiaoren did not naively think that Yuan Shikai could be overwhelmed just by relying on democratic elections, and the focus of both sides is on propaganda and the improvement of basic strength.

When Mongolia became independent, the internal opinions of the Kuomintang were not particularly unified, and many radical Kuomintang members felt that they should protest and should publicize this matter on a large scale, but this was only the view of the bottom, and most of the high-level and executive committee members did not do this, Mongolian independence was not a single event, and there were even the means of the great powers behind him, and most of the executive committee members believed that in this incident, this aspect should not provoke the great powers.

This matter, that's it, it's over, I thought it wouldn't make any waves, the nominal future Republic of China is still under Yuan Shikai's control, it's a big deal, when the time comes, it will crook his mouth, making Yuan Shikai's reputation a little more stinky.

However, the situation was dizzying, and in just a few days, Baotou brazenly dispatched troops to directly destroy the Mongolian independence forces and the so-called Great Mongolian State, which was simply a lightning speed, and today, a wide range of reports came out, and the entire Kuomintang was shocked, and whether they supported or opposed it, each accounting for a large proportion, caused a great controversy among the Kuomintang.

However, the result of the controversy was only in some Kuomintang-controlled newspapers, and it was not a few giants of the Kuomintang who came forward, and the focus was nothing more than to occupy a high point of public opinion.

The propaganda in the northwest has a very positive foothold, which also makes the Kuomintang, or Beiyang, noncommittal about the Northwest sending troops to Mongolia to quell the rebellion, and the attitude is noncommittal, but it is the people at the bottom who rejoice because of this.

Now, the Qing Dynasty is gone, but how many years, since 1840, there is no good news in China, the victory is not nothing, but the defeat is more, in the Xinhai year, this turbulent, let people not see the future era clearly, a hearty counterinsurgency, but also in just a week, really like a dream.

Some people even counted that it only took 7 days from the declaration of independence of Mongolia to the suppression of the rebellion in the northwest, and ordinary people often deliberately ignore some things, such as the distance between the northwest and Kulun, at least more than 1,700 kilometers, what makes the troops arrive so quickly.

At present, there is no concept of a fast reaction force, nor is there a concept of 24-hour projection, Beiyang started from Beijing, to the side of the Yangtze River, or with the support of the railway, it took almost a month, and it was longer from Baotou to Kulun.

It's not that no one put forward conspiracy theories, and they have been prepared for a long time, and even done them first, but the positive public opinion has left conspiracy theories without much market, but instead occupies the northwest where the main body of propaganda is occupied, and the liberation of Mongolia is used together with the propaganda offensive in the northwest.

Because of the relationship between radio base stations, it can only cover 12 important cities in the north and 7 cities in the south for the time being, but in the future, with the research and improvement of radio technology, the coverage will be wider and more dense.

In Beijing, among the storytellers' teahouses, there is such a big thing, called the chatterbox, in which, not only can you hear the works of the masters of various genres of Peking Opera at regular and fixed points, but also can hear some traditional local operas such as cross talk, Ping Opera, Huangmei Opera, etc., the proportion is not high, and it is very attractive.

The master's repertoire is not heard casually, whether it is going to the theater or buying a vinyl turntable, not everyone can afford it, and now this chatterbox can be heard at a fixed time, and the program changes every day, which is also a novelty.

In addition to opera, there is also news, scholars do not go out to know the world, this is an exaggeration, but they sit there, they know very well, for example, know that it is raining in Shanghai thousands of miles away, how many things are popular, and even which genre of masters perform there, but more, it is current political news at home and abroad, which is not very attractive for most ordinary listeners, but for some people who are interested, it is a window to understand at home and abroad, especially to confirm that these news are true, After the timeliness was much higher than that of the newspaper, there were more people who came to the teahouse at a fixed time to listen to the chatterbox, and there was even some chief writers in the newspaper.

In this era, some people have noticed public opinion, but it is only limited to newspapers and periodicals, and even for powerful people, newspapers are just a thing that is needed, and it is no problem to really ignore them.

The newspaper is still like this, not to mention the burgeoning broadcasting, the broadcasting system in the northwest, far from covering such a large range, and the radio is also the most common ore radio, not to mention the bulky, the price is still relatively high, and it does not have popularity.

Instructed by Yang Yuanzhao, the carefully prepared program includes the recording of some recordings of Jebtsundamba, some battle reports on the front line, and some situations in Mongolia, and even experts introduce the connection between Mongolia and China.

Yang Yuanzhao didn't think that just a broadcast, to solve the Mongolian problem, national and national character, is a long time to form, in later generations and the beginning of the 20th century, these are completely different concepts, not to mention China, even Europe, it is not very obvious, for example, if before the First World War, around 1900, the Austro-Hungarian Empire disintegrated, Austria was incorporated into the German Empire, except for a small number of vested interests will oppose it, the people at the bottom will even welcome, Germany and Austria-Hungary, To put it bluntly, it was the Holy Roman Empire, the first recognized leader was Austria, which inherited the Holy Roman Empire, and then it was transferred to the gradually rising Prussia, the Franco-Prussian War, and the unification of Germany to form Germany in the later sense.

Lay a foundation first, and then consider others, Yang Yuanzhao is very patient at this point, and he has done a very good job, as far as the news back is concerned, the response from all places is very positive. R1152
