PS: Subscription supports genuine glorious

After Song Xiaofei announced the implementation of the new rule of law at the meeting of the Central Committee, some students refused to disperse on the streets because they did not announce the immediate reform of free elections. The secretary general of the Beijing Federation of Colleges and Universities**, who was born in a poor peasant family in Hunan and had ambitions since childhood, raised his arms and shouted in the crowd: "I never think that the backwardness of China's democracy is caused by a few faint monarchs in the Qing Dynasty, but by everyone in China, because the system is created by people." I don't think democracy is given from the top down, it's earned on your own. Democracy can only be reliable if it is won by everyone's consciousness, otherwise it will be taken back by the dictator if it is obtained by the ruler's charity! History and justice are on our side, and we must fight to the end! ”

Under the influence of the passion, more than 100 students of Peking University marched on the streets, demanding the implementation of real democratic universal suffrage and severely punishing black-hearted profiteers in the real estate industry. More than 5,000 students from the Beijing Agricultural College, Beijing Higher Normal School, and other colleges and universities took to the streets one after another, shouting slogans such as "Fight for democracy and freedom" and "Down with the Baath Party dictatorship."

Students at the Jingshi Tongwenguan posted a "proposal" to boycott sports activities in school, and some classes posted big-character posters in solidarity, changing from "want democracy" to "want human rights", and some schools also put up some slogans.

At that time, these ideas were quite popular, and Western ideas were introduced to China in large numbers in the late Qing Dynasty and influenced the younger generation, and with Song Xiaofei promoting vernacular writing. The New Culture Movement promoted by Lu Xun and Liang Qichao held high the banner of democracy and science, and inspired and influenced the Chinese people in the ideological and cultural fields. Especially Chinese youth. At that time, a number of community organizations also developed in the Chinese Empire, including the Juvenile China Society, the Engineering Society, the Xinmin Society, the Xinchao Society, the Civilian Education Lecture Group, and the Work-Study Mutual Aid Group.

Previously, students had joined a series of scattered protests, strikes, and violence, ranging from political issues to academic and school-related issues. But in the mainstream student body, they don't want to overthrow the Ba'ath Party. Just want to limit its powers. Most of them did not favor the idea of Bolshevism ruling the country. But they are dissatisfied with the selfishness caused by the long rule of the Baath Party.

On that day, there was a meeting of the leading students and representatives, and 30 representatives from various schools of the Federation of Students came. The venue was held at Yenching University, **hosted. The headquarters of the demonstration was located on the second floor of a Yabei coffee shop on the north side of Xidan Road. The headquarters is placed in a fixed location outside the team so that it is easy to find when the schools come to contact each other.

**At that time, he was also preparing to go to the U.S. Embassy to ask for help, and Feng Jiayu served as a representative of the Chinese Army Non-commissioned Officer School (formerly known as the Beiyang Army Non-commissioned Officer School). rejected the proposal: "Democracy and human rights are not the preserve of the West. It is a noble pursuit shared by all countries and peoples in the world. China's affairs should be decided by the Chinese people themselves. We don't need foreign forces to impose it, and we don't need other countries to dictate us! ”

Duan Honggang, Ruan Yiyong and others also rode bicycles and ran around, very busy. Ruan Yiyong served as the commander-in-chief of the team, and he and three classmates went to the printing house of the publishing house to pick up the leaflets, pulled the leaflets to the No. 1 Women's Middle School, and distributed them overnight. Students from all schools stayed up all night, and the leaflets printed on red, green, and yellow colored paper were very eye-catching.

At that time, he was in charge of public security in Beijing. It is Xu Shuzheng, the confidant secretary of the army chief Duan Qirui, who is literate at the age of 3. 7-year-old can poetry, 13-year-old Xiucai, 17-year-old supplement sheng, known as a prodigy, famous in history for sending troops to recover Outer Mongolia. On the recommendation of Duan Qirui, in 1910 he became the commander of the Beijing Military Police Corps (equivalent to the current armed police force).

Xu Shuzheng was afraid that the students would make a big trouble, so he reported to Duan Qirui and demanded that all gates in Beijing be closed. Duan Qirui didn't care, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, we all fought for democracy when we were young!" ”

As a result, Xu Shuzheng only closed part of the city gates, and changed the response strategy to focus on controlling colleges and universities, and instructed all schools to close their school gates. The teams of Tsinghua and Yanda, which entered the city through the Xizhi Gate, were all closed by the military and police and blocked outside the city. After that, the team made a detour through several gates in Xicheng and could not enter the city, so they had to carry out demonstrations and propaganda outside the city.

The procession was originally agreed to assemble in front of the Xinhua Gate on West Chang'an Avenue in Beijing. Xu Shuzheng sent the military and police to surround the school, and the students rushed out of the school gate, which was guarded by the military police. The students of the Beijing Higher Normal School also rushed out, and they also rushed into several schools along the way to pick up the students who were blocked, and some of the students jumped out of the wall.

Later, the student command decided to march north to Nanchang Street and east to Wangfujing for demonstration. The procession walked all the way, more and more people walked, including the citizens who participated in the parade, and there were also people who accompanied the tour to watch the excitement, and walked to Wangfujing at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and the procession was already more than 5,000 people. The procession was full of momentum, chanting slogans and shocking people, and when they reached Wangfujing Street, they were stopped by armed military police.

On that day, the north wind was howling and the weather was bitterly cold. **Wearing an old sheepskin jacket, they marched forward with their classmates, they chanted slogans, and the military police began to storm the procession with taps, and the procession was broken up by the water dragon, and the scene was chaotic.

Lu Qi, a fourth-year female classmate at Tsinghua University who does not participate in political activities on weekdays, was so angry that she tried to climb into the hole at the foot of the city to open the city gate for the brigade, but was caught by the military police and beaten with a knife and a leather whip and injured herself.

The students who participated in the march were indignant and resolutely protested, shouting at the military and police. Intimidated by the outcry of the masses, the military and police had to release Lu Huang, and later agreed to open the city gates, and only Tsinghua and Yanjing students were allowed to return to school. The procession demonstrated outside the city, chanting slogans and persevering until dusk.

The students wishfully believe that if public opinion is fully mobilized by them, the government will be more or less coerced into acceding to their demands immediately. To this end, the students focused on propaganda and protest demonstrations. Students made their demands public at press conferences and on the streets. They distributed leaflets and one-page newspapers, and put up notices, cartoons, slogans and posters. In some cases, students deliberately lure the police to arrest them or provoke them to use violence in order to undermine the government's prestige in the public mind and gain public sympathy.

Xu Shuzheng gradually felt that the scene in Beijing was a little out of control, and at dusk that day, he immediately took a car to Duan's house to see Duan Qirui. At that time, Duan Qirui was playing Go, and when he saw Xu Shuzheng, he overturned the chessboard, and asked Xu Shuzheng loudly: "Xu Shuzheng, can you maintain law and order in Beijing?" If you can't, I can remove you, I can replace you, I can shoot you! The presidential office is very dissatisfied with today's demonstrations in Beijing, and many members of the National People's Congress and the Central Committee have called me and asked if you are eating dry rice! ”

Xu Shuzheng stood up at the door and bowed back, and said repeatedly: "Big brother, don't be angry, don't be angry, I can maintain law and order, I can maintain law and order!" (To be continued......)
