In mid-May, the Royal Cruise ship "Black Swan", which was sailing in the Indian Ocean, received a telegram from Lan Fang's embassy in the Republic of China. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As in the original history, on May 4, the students of the capital of the Republic of China held a large-scale parade.

Like the last "Tianjin Wharf Incident", this march was once again used by some people with good intentions, which led to clashes in the process of the process, and eventually caused serious consequences.

In fact, as early as a month ago, there were signs that the situation was out of control, but it did not arouse any vigilance from the Beiyang government.

The delegation sent by the Republic of China to Europe to the Paris Peace Conference was in fact a hodgepodge, with representatives of both the Beiyang government and the southern military government.

You must know that at this time, the Beiyang government and the southern military government were actually still in a state of war, and it would be strange for such a delegation to be able to work together.

So almost from the beginning of the peace conference, all kinds of news continued to be sent back to the Republic of China.

Among them, the most influential is the part of Gengzi's indemnity against Japan and the Netherlands.

As mentioned earlier, the Japanese and Dutch insisted on not giving up the remainder of the Gengzi reparations. It is better to say that the Dutch owe it is small, but the amount owed to the Japanese is larger, and the attitude of the Japanese is extremely resolute, so the people's resentment is getting bigger and bigger.

In fact, at the official level of the Beiyang government, they had little say at the Paris Peace Conference, because neither Clemenceau, nor Lloyd Georges, nor even Wilson believed that the contribution of the Republic of China in the First World War was not as much as it seemed.

If the Foreign Legion is counted as a force discharged by the Republic of China, then the Republic of China has indeed made a huge contribution, but the current fact is that the Republic of China has abandoned the Foreign Legion, and the Foreign Legion has also established itself as a country, so how much contribution the Republic of China still has to put a big question mark.

And because of the appearance of the Foreign Legion, the Japanese also sent the Sixth Division to Europe, and ended up in total annihilation.

Although the reason for the total annihilation of the Sixth Division remains to be verified, after all, the ending cannot be changed, so it seems that the contribution of the Japanese to the world war is greater than that of the Republic of China.

In fact, just before the "Tianjin Wharf Incident", Clemenceau and Lloyd George were both biased towards the Republic of China.

However, after the "Tianjin Wharf Incident", Clemenceau's attitude towards the Republic of China and Japan also showed subtle changes.

But this kind of change, the Beiyang government is unable to explain to the people.

You can't just say that because of your impulsiveness, the Foreign Legion has now been driven out by you, and then our country will not be welcomed at the Paris Peace Conference, so the negotiation process is not good for us......

This is not to appease public grievances, but to add fuel to the fire.

On May 1, Gu Weijun, the negotiator of the Republic of China and the head of the delegation, telegraphed to the Beiyang government, saying that if the agreement was not signed, it would be detrimental to the abolition of consular jurisdiction, tariff autonomy, and compensation for losses.

On May 2, the Beiyang government called the delegation and could sign a contract.

The reasons why the Beiyang government agreed to sign the agreement are as follows: If it does not sign, it is only an expression of emotion, and it is of no use to the interests of the nation. If you don't sign it, then you won't be able to enter the League of Nations, and if you are bullied in the future, you can still call such a large group of people to help you speak, which is very serious.

And if it is not signed, it will have to pay Germany the money for the Xinchou Treaty in the future, and Germany will not be able to get the reparations.

If signed: the indemnity to Japan will continue to be paid.

Comparing the two, the conclusion of whether to sign or not is obvious.

But these reasons are also impossible to disclose.

On the same day, Lin Changmin, the director of the Foreign Affairs Committee and the director of the National Diplomacy Association, wrote an article in the "Morning Post" and "National Gazette": "Although the victory is especially defeated, the country will not be a country, and I am willing to join 40,000 people to swear to die." ”

So on May 3, the Beijing National Diplomatic Association headed by Lin Changmin held a meeting and decided to prevent the government from signing the agreement. Cai Yuanpei, director of the National Association of Foreign Affairs, reported the diplomatic failure to the students.

So the whole situation was completely out of control.

On May 4, the students wanted to walk out of the school gate, but were prevented by the military and police who had learned in advance about this time.

At this time, the military police did not have the slightest advantage in the face of students, even if they were wearing weapons, the military and police did not dare to make a mistake.

The military and police even jokingly said: We are Qiu Ba, you are Qiu Jiu, you are a generation older than us!

Seniority is very important among the Chinese, and they consider themselves to be shorter, which shows the weakness of the military and police in front of the students.

When the students asked to leave the campus, some military police even knelt down and begged the students not to be impulsive.

But nothing worked.

When the students finally walked out of the school, they submitted their "love letters" to the embassies of Britain, France, the United States, and Italy.

Don't blame Britain, France, and Italy, for this kind of "love letter", people have the right not to accept it, because at this time, the common way to submit it is that if necessary, it can be forwarded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China.

As a country's embassy abroad, the U.S. embassy's "direct acceptance" is inappropriate.

But the students didn't think so, they thought that Britain, France, and Italy were ignoring these future "proud sons of the sky", so they angrily went to the streets, broke into Zhao's house and set fire to it, and beat Zhang Zongxiang badly.

It is worth mentioning that when Zhang Zongxiang was severely beaten and injured in more than 50 places all over his body, no one dared to stop dozens of heavily armed military police next to him, even if someone asked them for help, their answer was "I don't dare to manage ...... without instructions from the top"

It is also worth mentioning that in the original history, when the Japanese invaded China on a large scale in the future, Cao Rulin, the traitor in the mouth of everyone today, the owner of Zhaojialou, did not accept any hypocrisy during the Anti-Japanese War, and maintained the evening in the face of the nation's major rights and wrongs, and one of the "patriots" who took the lead in burning Zhaojialou that day was named Mei Siping, but he became a well-known traitor in the whole country and was finally executed.

On May 4, after the "burning of Zhao's house", in order to stop the escalation of the situation, the Beiyang government arrested 32 "activists".

Then how these "uncles" will be sent away has become a matter of concern to the whole society next.

First, President Xu Shichang sent officials to apologize, but the "uncles" did not accept it.

The next day, the infantry commander yamen and the police station sent people to apologize, and the "uncles" finally agreed to "get out of prison."

But how to get out has become a problem.

So the Beiyang government prepared a car to send these "uncles" out of the "prison", and at the same time promised to set off firecrackers when they left, so as to avoid bad luck for the "uncles".

But the "uncles" feel that it is not enough.

Finally, the director of general affairs pleaded with the "masters": "Gentlemen have become famous, hurry up and get in the car!" ”

So the "uncles" chose to get out of prison and enjoy the glory of heroes.

The above things basically have nothing to do with Lan Fang, because Lan Fang's embassy in Beijing is in the embassy area, and the uncles can't come in, and I don't know why, when facing the "third brother" police with a headscarf on their heads, the uncles don't have the same impulse as facing the military and police of the Republic of China......

It's still a bit related, the Beiyang government didn't have enough cars to pick up the "uncles", so I borrowed two cars from the Lanfang embassy in the Republic of China.

Not trucks, of course, but cars.

It is impossible for the masters to make trucks, and only those who are "a generation shorter" than them will take that kind of car.

Tang Xinzhi's telegram was explained very carefully, just like documentary literature, Qin Zhiyuan couldn't cry or laugh when he saw it, and Julie watched it with relish.

"These people, ah, how cool!" Julie thought about it for a long time and found such an adjective.

"The second illness is also the habit of the Beiyang government, and it is also the habit of the whole society, and it is self-inflicted." Qin Zhiyuan was noncommittal, and he had to explain to Julie what the "middle two disease" was.

"Wow, it's so happy to study in the Republic of China, and you can become an official after graduation!" Julie saw it obviously differently from Qin Zhiyuan.

"It's not all officials, they can also teach or something, but no matter what, it's certain that you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and you can't imagine the Chinese people's worship of culture." Qin Zhiyuan sighed.

"Don't use 'you', it's 'us' now, I don't like it when you leave me out." Julie was dissatisfied.

"Ah, I was wrong......" Qin Zhiyuan had a good attitude.

Julie was satisfied, and with just one look, Qin Zhiyuan poured a glass of water intimately.

"You can't do this in Lanfang, absolutely not!" Julie, who was drinking water, suddenly made a 180-degree turn, knowing that just a minute ago, Julie was still expressing her admiration and envy.

"Of course not, Lanfang's school only cultivates professional and technical talents, only cultural appreciation classes, and does not train literary masters." Qin Zhiyuan had already decided.

The "literary master" is a very magical thing, such as Cao Xueqin, who only pours all her energy and feelings into one work in her life, which is of course admirable and commendable, because this kind of concentration and precipitation is worth advocating at any time.

But if you eat the government's food, receive the government's salary, enjoy the benefits provided by the government, and have nothing to do with scolding the government and the country, then you are a collective offender of the whole society, and you don't want such a master.

Anyway, Lan Fang has no history, so Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want to overkill.

At present, there are indeed many schools in Lanfang that are biased towards liberal arts, but they are all in the direction of basic education, and the deeper level is also secretarial, which is more practical, and never engages in theoretical research.

At the same time, there are more schools that prefer science and engineering, and there are a large number of technical schools, which are the places to cultivate talents, whether it is engineers or technicians, or even medical workers, or agricultural and forestry workers, all of which are urgently needed by Lanfang.

Of course, Qin Zhiyuan has not given up the ideological field, and in the current plan, various museums, music festivals, cultural publicity weeks, and even film companies have formed plans.

Qin Zhiyuan believes that these are more conducive to the popularization of culture than to attract attention in newspapers.
