In Beiping, Lin Zixuan met Meng Xiaodong.

The two had a meal and chatted about their life experience for most of the year, and Meng Xiaodong became more cheerful and confident.

Life is like this, when you step out of your own small circle and see the vast world outside, you will have a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and the temperament of the whole person is different.

Meng Xiaodong was welcomed in Beiping, achieved success, and became a real celebrity.

Once it appears, it is the focus of newspaper scrambling to report.

In fact, Lin Zixuan knew more about her situation in more detail.

The two female bodyguards of the Jingwu Sports Association around Meng Xiaodong will spread the news to Shanghai from time to time, and Lin Zixuan will also ask the celebrities in Beiping to take care of Meng Xiaodong.

Although she is famous, she was also ostracized when she first started performing.

For example, not cooperating during rehearsals, doing tricks and feet on costumes and props, deliberately making things difficult in terms of diet, putting in condiments that are harmful to the throat such as chili peppers, and even playing tricks directly on the stage to make people ugly.

In the highly competitive industry of opera, this kind of small action is a common thing, and every industry is a miniature Jianghu.

Don't look at the celebrities who are glamorous on the stage, sought after by the audience, and still suffer offstage.

Meng Xiaodong was born in a family of pear orchards, and has lived in an opera troupe since he was a child, so he is used to seeing this kind of business.

If she is in Shanghai, she has her own team and knows the people around her, but in Beiping, she is a newcomer, surrounded by strangers, so she is naturally squeezed.

People who are good to you are not necessarily genuinely good to you, and people who are indifferent to you may be worthy of trust.

No one succeeds casually, they all need to work hard.

Meng Xiaodong has a soft personality on the outside and rigid on the inside. Not easily admitting defeat, she waits for the opportunity. Grab someone else's handle and deliver a fatal blow. So as to establish prestige and let others know that she is not easy to mess with.

"It's too chaotic in Beiping, let's go back to Shanghai." After eating, Lin Zixuan persuaded him.

Feng Yuxiang's Nationalist Army and Zhang Zalin's Feng Army will sooner or later split the winner, and Beiping will not be stable in the future.

"Let's take a look!" Meng Xiaodong said noncommittally.

They walked out of the hotel and looked on the street at the passing of students, who were holding signs protesting against the Dagukou incident built by the Japanese warships and against the unreasonable demands of the Western powers.

In Beiping. Student demonstrations have become a norm, and citizens have long been accustomed to it.

On March 16, Lin Zixuan and Feng Chengcheng left Beiping and headed for Mukden.

The reason why he chose to leave at this time was because he didn't want to see the tragedy that happened two days later.

As the student protests intensified, clashes would take place two days later with the Beiyang government's military police, who opened fire on the students, killing dozens and injuring hundreds.

This is the March 18 tragedy that shocked China.

After the May Incident in Shanghai. Lin Zixuan realized that it was difficult to prevent such tragedies by relying on his own strength.

The main thing is that it is not understood, and the students will not listen.

The young students marched in protest for the sovereignty and dignity of the country, and stood on the side of reason, and he could not stop it. Otherwise, it will be considered to support the traitorous act.

The government ordered the military and police to shoot, and he was also unable to convince the bigwigs in the Beiyang government.

It's a dilemma.

In the past two days, he has published an article in the "Morning Post", calling on students to protest peacefully and rationally. In order to ensure its own security, the government is required to reject the so-called ultimatum of the Western powers.

He did not want an incident similar to the May Day Massacre to happen in Beiping. It is to be hoped that all parties will exercise restraint.

The article was dismissed as unfounded by the cultural circles in Peiping, who did not believe that the government would shoot at the students.

The political atmosphere in Peking has always been strong. Since May Fourth, students have been the main force of demonstrations, expressing their ideas through demonstrations, and some radicals have even set newspapers on fire.

In the past, the government would at most arrest the students, detain them, and then mobilize forces from all walks of life to rescue the students in prison.

This seems to have become a repertoire that will be staged in Peking every once in a while.

People from all walks of life in Peiping are accustomed to this way of fighting against the government, with students marching, government detaining, and people from all walks of life rescuing ......

Through this kind of recurring activities, the value of each party is reflected.

They never thought that the government would order the shooting of the students, the government of their country is not a foreigner, it is impossible to be so brutal, and the students go to make trouble and put pressure on the government, this is a pattern that has been formed for a long time.

But Lin Zixuan knew that this time he had indeed shot.

The May 33 tragedy was when Westerners shot at the Chinese, and the 318 tragedy was when the Chinese shot at the Chinese.

A government that shoots at students in its own country, a crime that can never be erased, is tyranny.

Since Lin Zixuan couldn't stop it, he didn't want to stay and witness the tragedy, it didn't make sense.

It was just another round of condemnation and protest, but the students died and could never live again.

Compared with trying his best to stop the tragedy when the May Day tragedy occurred, Lin Zixuan was much more indifferent this time, perhaps because he saw more bloodshed, so he became numb.

Feng Chengcheng felt that Lin Zixuan was unusually silent after getting on the train, and couldn't help but worry.

"What's wrong?" She held Lin Zixuan's hand and wondered.

"It's okay, it's a little touching." Lin Zixuan shook his head, not wanting to say too much, "The more you go north, the colder it gets, be careful not to get sick." ”

He looked out the window of the train, and it was dusk, and the sun was like blood.

At this time, Beiping was shrouded in a cloud of blood.

The train travels along the Jingfeng Railway all the way to Mukden, and then transfers to the China Eastern Railway to reach Manzhouli Railway Station.

The Manzhouli railway station was the last station in China, followed by the Siberian railway line of Soviet Russia.

The Trans-Siberian Railway runs from Moscow to Vladivostok and crosses the northeastern region of China.

In 1891, when the Russians were building the Trans-Siberian Railway, they advocated that the main railway line should go directly to Vladivostok through Northeast China, so as to bring Northeast China closer to Russia.

The railway would also allow it to control the northeast of China and plunder the resources of the northeast.

Thus, in 1896, Russia and the Qing government signed the Sino-Russian Secret Treaty.

The secret treaty clearly stipulates that in order to transport the Russian army and military supplies as soon as possible in the future, the Qing government allowed Tsarist Russia to build the Eastern Railway to undertake the Trans-Siberian Railway and go directly to Vladivostok.

This is the origin of the Eastern Railway.

This is a railway built on Chinese territory by Tsarist Russia in order to plunder and invade China and control the Far East.

After the founding of the Soviet Union, it has always refused to return control of the Eastern Railway to China, and still wants to control the situation in Northeast China through this railway connected with the Soviet Union.

On February 28, 1922, the Beiping government, representatives of the governments of Soviet Russia and the Far Eastern Republic signed an agreement on the Eastern Railway.

In principle, the China Eastern Railway was managed by the Chinese government, and the Russians took back the shares of the railway within the next five years, after China and the Soviet Union jointly managed the Eastern Railway.

But that's not the end.

In 1929, a large-scale war broke out between the Northeast Army and the Soviet Union for control of the railway. (To be continued.) )
