Chapter 224 18.9 million square kilometers

The forces that are not willing to be wiped out will always make amazing struggles, or make amazing concessions.

The intransigence of the Reich caused a fatal panic and horror to Chairman Ulyanov, and on the first night of his arrival in Yekaterinburg, he stayed up all night, and although the secret talks with His Majesty the Emperor were unsuccessfully interrupted, there was still another channel of formal negotiation between the Reich and Soviet Russia.

Chairman Ulyanov did not stay in Yekaterinburg for only three days, as expected, but continued to actively negotiate an armistice agreement with the Imperial Foreign Minister Ouyang Geng here, and made a very surprising concession, because the attitude of His Majesty the Emperor Hua, who controls the power of China, is already very clear, if he cannot get everything that the empire wants, for the sake of long-term peace, the empire would rather fight out tens of millions of people, right here, at this moment, completely destroy the Soviet Russian revolution.

Although the empire is not as powerful as Britain and the United States, especially in the naval field, it is not as good as the Soviet Russian Red Navy, but in the field of army and air force, the strength of the empire is also unprecedented in the whole world, the great and noble German Empire has fallen, the majestic and magnificent Tsarist Empire has also fallen, and the world's largest army power is the Chinese Empire.

From some special channels Alexey . General Brusilov also received some new information and information, confirming that the empire's plan would be to eliminate Soviet Russia step by step in three to five years, from military to demographic, from political to partisan, and to carry out a comprehensive purge of the entire Soviet Russia, so as to ensure that even if the goal is not achieved, a new Russian political axe can be established that is completely pro-China.

This threat of His Majesty the Emperor is too terrifying, just like the crazy oppressive force of Hitler.

The so-called great leaders cannot stop the cruelty of reality.

In late March 1920, under the direct threat of His Majesty the Chinese Emperor, Chairman Ulyanov, in a manner that almost completely agreed to the demands of the Chinese Empire, temporarily left a situation in which negotiations could continue, and entrusted all the subsequent further negotiations to the Chairman of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, Mikhail Brown. Kalinin.

On April 3, Mikhail was the head of state and the chief steward of Soviet Russia. Kalinin secretly met with the Emperor and once again negotiated the terms of the final armistice.

Lenin's demarcation line of the Yenisei River seems to be more beneficial to China, but almost all the territories that have been carved out do not have the possibility of immigrants, and can only be a long-term no-man's land, while the empire has to make major concessions in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus, and even the Kazakh region must be recognized as continuing to belong to Soviet Russia, and the so-called promise of Soviet Russia to demand that China withdraw its troops stationed in the Caucasus and guarantee China's interests in the Baku oil region is an empty word.

It seems beautiful, but it is actually very insidious.

In the end, the result of the negotiations was that both sides made a certain degree of concession, and the basic demarcation between China and the Soviet Union was bounded in the north by the Lena River, the Central Siberian Plateau, and the upper reaches of the Ob River, and the area east of the Lena River belonged to China.

South of the West Siberian Plain and the Central Siberian Plateau, east of the Ortysh River in the upper reaches of the Ob River to the Sayan Mountains, a total of 1.42 million square kilometers of territory including the Tangnu-Ulianghai Sea belong to China, except for the 170,000 square kilometers of the territory of the Tangnu-Ulianghai, the rest of the territory from Omsk to Novosibirsk is officially called the Southern Siberian Plain, the Tangnu-Ulianghai is called the Tangnu Basin internally, and the West Sayanling Plain is called the outside.

In addition, the 440,000 square meters of territory occupied by Tsarist Russia in Central Asia during the period of Tsarist Russia, the Gilgi and Tajik divisions of the Russian Western Turkic Governorate belonged to China, and the territory occupied by Russia in the Pamir Plateau belonged to China, and according to the agreement between China and the Soviet Union, the east of the Ortysh River belonged to Chinese territory, which took away an additional 40,000 square kilometers of territory from Kazakhstan.

If the Sino-Soviet agreement comes into force, the total area of Chinese territory officially recognized by both China and the Soviet Union will be between 18.85 million and 18.95 million, and the overseas provinces include central Papua New Guinea, New Caledonia and Jeju Island.

Although this territorial division was lower in data than the Soviet Russian plan, and also lower than the original plan of the empire, and in the long run it also ignored the oil-producing region of the West Siberian Plain, but the empire got the southern Siberian plain, where more than 1.1 million square kilometers of land is vast and fertile agricultural land, which can greatly alleviate the agricultural population crisis of the empire.

This was the most important benefit for the Empire, and it forced Russia to recognize the Uzbek and Turkmen regions, which were also recognized as imperial protectorates, and secondly, to force Russia to recognize the Republic of Azerbaijan and China's right to protect the Republic of Azerbaijan, and that Russia promised not to station troops in the southern Caucasus.

For Soviet Russia, the most important thing was that it did not make greater concessions in terms of the total area of its territory, retained its territorial rights over most of Kazakhstan, and received China's tacit approval and support for the Russian anti-Brest Pact, which promised not to support the Russian White Army in any way, and recognized Soviet Russia's territorial rights to Georgia and Azerbaijan in the southern Caucasus, as well as to the traditionally Russian-occupied areas of Eastern Europe.

Russia's only concession in Eastern Europe was to recognize some of Poland's territorial claims, while the rest, such as Lithuania, Belarus, and Ukraine, remained in Soviet Russia's territorial rights.

In the handling of the Kazakh region, Soviet Russia recognized the autonomy of the Kazakh region, and in the division of the Kazakh region, the agreement between China and Russia was to take the Tobol River, the Ural River, the Ortysh River, Lake Balkhash and the Eastern Central Asian Railway as the main boundaries.

Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan divide the Aral Sea equally, the south of the Mangystau Mountains belongs to Uzbekistan, the east of the Ural and Tobol rivers belong to Russia, the west belongs to Kazakhstan, and the east of the Irtysh River is demarcated, and the northeast corner of Lake Balkhash is drawn from Semiyi to the northeast corner of Lake Balkhash, and the east belongs to China.

Through this division, the territory of the Kazakh Autonomous State of Soviet Russia was reduced on the east, west and southwest sides, but expanded on the north side to the West Siberian Plain, becoming the largest buffer zone between China and Russia.

In addition to the division of territory, Soviet Russia still had to recognize the debts of the Tsarist Empire to China, and in addition to paying a total of 2 billion yuan in compensation to China, the debts and indemnities should be paid off in installments of 20 years, and Soviet Russia could compensate for oil, minerals, and other industrial products at international prices.

On the basis of this agreement, the empire would be the first to recognize the Russian regime internationally, establish ambassadorial diplomacy between the two sides, and agree to secretly sell some military supplies and food to Soviet Russia in order to support Soviet Russia in ending the civil war. Such support was not so much support for the end of the civil war as support for the destruction of the Brest Pact signed by Germany and Russia, and the continued expansion into Eastern Europe with the tacit and covert support of China, so that it would have no obvious real loss in the total area of the territory, and maintain the political authority and legitimacy of the Russian political axe within Russia.

Of course, Soviet Russia is asking the empire to return the gold reserves of Tsarist Russia in negotiations, which makes no sense, without evidence and without a certificate, who will return the thousand tons of gold that you have grabbed in your hands?

Before the formal signing of the treaty, the two sides continued to prepare for war, and the empire continued to transport large quantities of military supplies to the Urals on the principle that it could take advantage of the opportunity to sell arms even if there was no war.

After the defeat in the Battle of the Siberian Plain, the Soviet Union and Russia were also drooling about the equipment of the Imperial Army, that is, there were no qualified drivers, and the tanks captured from the White Army could only be discarded at the railway station and used as batteries.

So in the agreement, the Russians also asked the Reich to send advisers to train the Red Army's driving and maintenance personnel.

There were essentially no objections to the Reich, on condition that after the withdrawal of the Reich Expeditionary Force from Europe.

A turning point in the drama was born in Yekaterinburg, and history once again proved that the so-called justice was false, that as long as the interests of the empire were satisfied, the empire did not care about the freedom of the European peoples and the Russian people, and the so-called Kazakh autonomous state was only symbolic, and both sides knew it.

Woe to the West.

Once the empire and Soviet Russia signed this agreement, it would be tantamount to transferring all the scourge of Soviet Russia to Europe and the Caucasus, leaving Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Austria-Hungary and Poland to tremble.

Soviet Russia, on the other hand, ceded part of its territory in Asia, kept it in Eastern Europe, and gave priority to the European world, and finally Asia and the Americas, according to the will of its leaders.

On May 5, 1920, China and the Soviet Union signed the Sino-Soviet Territorial Demarcation Pact in Yekaterinburg, the Sino-Soviet Pact on the Protection of Central Asia on May 9, and the Sino-Soviet Armistice Treaty on June 10.

At this point, it was agreed that China would withdraw all its troops from Russian territory by March 1921, and the two sides formally concluded a diplomatic and armistice treaty on July 1, 1920.

On June 14, 1920, Song Biao fulfilled his responsibilities as emperor in the first Sino-Soviet war and returned to Yanjing by special train.

The train passed by on the vast and boundless southern plains of Siberia, and sitting in the carriage, he opened the curtains and looked into the infinite distance, and his heart was filled with real joy, yes, he knew that he did not insist on justice, did not defend the freedom and equality of mankind, but he defended the right of the Chinese nation to exist.

In the next five years, the empire will reclaim more than 700 million acres of fertile land on this vast and fertile plain with a huge number of people from Shanxi and Henan to reclaim the new world, which is 1,600 kilometers long and 300 kilometers wide on average.

Even if the land here is only for agriculture, it is enough to ensure the livelihood of more than 30 million Chinese agricultural families, and the life is very good, which is equivalent to recreating the three eastern provinces.

The coal, iron and oil resources here are also as abundant as the three eastern provinces, and even have more oil resources.

As for the life and death of the Eastern Europeans and the Kazakhs, as well as the Russians, he has no way to take care of them, after all, they are not the subjects of the empire, they can only call their heroes.

Song Biao's mood is really good.

Exploring his dreams and the shouts of his soul as the train raced, he knew that he had finally attained a true liberation and realized his worth as an emperor.

Of course, Soviet Russia officially recognized Sakhalin Island as owned by China in name, which is certainly unacceptable to Yuben, and there is still something to do between China and China, seeing that China has plundered Russia's territory so much, Yuben is probably jealous and wants to kill all the Chinese people, right?

At this time, the news of the early "peace" between China and Soviet Russia had spread all over the world, and Britain and the United States were sharpening their knives one after another, eager to immediately return China to the Manchu era and seize back the interests that China had extorted, because they had their help in this.

Without the money and efforts of the British and French forces, the money and equipment provided by the United States, and their wanton support for the White Army, China could not have extorted so many benefits from the Soviet Union and Russia so easily.

Britain desperately wanted to defeat Soviet Russia, and only in this way could they readjust the interests of all parties as the ultimate victorious power, support the new Russian political axe to come to power, and spit back all the interests that China had occupied.

Of course, the empire knew that as soon as the formal "Sino-Soviet Armistice Treaty" was signed, it immediately sold a large amount of equipment and materials hoarded on the Russian battlefield to the Soviet Russian Red Army, and sent a large number of military advisers to train the Red Army's tank and aircraft units to meet the challenges of the British and White armies head-on.

At one time, the empire even sold 700,000 Mongolian horses to the Russian Red Army to organize Soviet militia convoys, and returned the accounts that were purchased from the Russian Empire.

Even if the empire knew that the Soviet Russian Red Army would one day fight back on this basis and break out again in the Sino-Soviet war, the empire would completely support the Russian Red Army to defeat the greedy and shameless Anglo-French forces and the White Army.

It's just that on the formal table, the empire, Britain, France, and the United States are still entente powers, or military and economic allies, and everyone will not tear their faces, but secretly, all kinds of ruthless means have been taken out, and the emperor has taken the opportunity to take advantage of this situation to wantonly invade Sakhalin Island and the Kuril Islands, and even sent troops to land in the extremely cold area of Kamchatka, demanding the division of interests, demanding that the interests of China be equalized, and demanding that the eastern part of the East Siberian plateau be assigned to the East Siberian plateau with the Chersky Mountains as the boundary.

Is it possible?

The Imperial Cabinet did not even have any response, there was a kind of shouting that everyone was playing real in their hands, the Kuril Islands could not be done, and it was still feasible for Sakhalin to send an elite infantry division.

The world is in chaos, the empire used to support the White Army, but now it not only supports Soviet Russia to clean up the White Army at home, but also transfers a large number of main forces from the front line to exterminate the White Army in the "North", Central Asia, Mongolia, and the Far East.

Soviet Russia was an open bandit, and the Empire was a secret bandit, strangling the rebel forces of the White Army together.

Such cooperation is more ridiculous, more absurd, and more shameful than Soviet-German cooperation.

However, it is not imperialism that is not shameful, and only those who have strength are qualified to be shameless.

Song Biao and Foreign Minister Ouyang Geng returned to Yanjing on the royal special train, and along the way, Song Biao would often consciously stop and inspect Novosibirsk City, Kulen and other places, and look for a sense of policy and direction for governing the north with Ouyang Geng, who was about to be elected prime minister.

For the new prime minister, Song Biao also has high hopes.

The two returned to Yanjing together from Yekaterinburg, a 3,500-kilometer journey for a whole month, inspecting more than 20 regions along the way, and along the way, Song Biao talked about many ideas, hoping to be of sufficient help to the new prime minister.

Unlike the previous premier Tang Shaoyi's task, Ouyang Geng's task is to ensure the stability and prosperity of the empire on the basis of a strong empire, not only in terms of economic means, but also in terms of diplomacy, religion, culture, immigration, industry, and so on.

One of the basic ideas of the two at this time was to establish Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, Islam, Lamaism, and Orthodox Christianity as the six major national religions of the empire, support and promote them, first use religion to stabilize the various regions and groups within the empire, and then slowly find a way later.

The ideas of the Liberation Revolution are useful to the Han Chinese, but not necessarily to other regions and groups, unless there is a higher level of theoretical elevation.

The first half of the 20th century, whether it was the Republican period or the current imperial era, was the most liberal period in China, and throughout the Sino-Soviet War, although the mainstream media and citizens were very enthusiastic in supporting the empire to go to war at any cost, many enlightened intellectuals and reading media still expressed some discordant opposition.

Even though the empire concluded a treaty with Soviet Russia this time, recovering 2 million lost territories and at the same time allowing Soviet Russia to cede more than 5.5 million square kilometers of territory, some pro-Chinese, pro-British, and pro-American intellectuals and politicians were still mainly critical of this, and some old Chinese friends in foreign countries were tactful or very sharp in their criticism, which also shows the general anxiety of Europe, the United States and the United States about the Chinese empire entering the stage of expansion.

But within the empire, the cult of personality of the emperor among the people and all walks of life has reached the point where there is no additional addition.

Do you think that the Republic of China has only been tough on the issue of the Diaoyu Islands, which has attracted a lot of cheers and praise from the people, and Song Biao, as the emperor of China, has almost doubled the size of the empire's territory from 11.3 million square kilometers to 18.9 million square kilometers, what a great achievement for the people of Chinese?

Before the Sino-Soviet War, the Empire had not yet fully dealt with the question of Hong Kong, the Portuguese political axe had been returned to Macao at the end of 1919, and the British continued to rely on Hong Kong for various reasons, hoping to delay the formal handover until 1922, or to put it bluntly, to continue to occupy the opportunity.

The empire's rule in Tibet and Xinjiang provinces was also precarious, and it was not very stable in Outer Mongolia, but now it seems to have been completely revived overnight, and the Chinese nation has really stood up, and the empire's territory has greatly expanded to 18.9 million square kilometers, and all the territories that can be recovered have been recovered.

The emperor is simply a symbol of victory in a hundred battles, leading the empire to win successive victories in the Sino-Xinhai War, the First World War and the Sino-Soviet War, and his prestige in the hearts of the people of the empire can be said to be unattachable.

Now in all parts of the country, there are people and squires to raise donations to build the Immortal Temple, Long Live Temple, Shenwu Temple, Shenwu Palace, Shenwu Temple, the provinces have built the emperor's palace, there are those who build Shenwu Square, all the provinces have Shenwu Road, Shenwu Avenue, Shenwu Street, Lushun County Magistrate Guan Haiqing with the book of the people and the umbrella of the people into Beijing, strongly requested that Lushun be renamed Shenwu County, to fund the construction of the most authentic Shenwu Palace and the first Wansui Temple in the country, but also to repair the ancestral tomb.

The people of Shandong disagreed.

Although the emperor was born in Lushun, the emperor Gaozu should be a native of Shandong, and the people of Shandong want to revise the Long Live Ancestral Hall in Taishan, the people of Xuzhou disagree, the people of Xuzhou want to repair the Long Live Ancestral Hall of the Song Kingdom, and the people of Shangqiu in Zhili disagree even more, and the people of Shangqiu want to repair the Long Live Ancestral Temple of Song Zu.

The people below made trouble, the county magistrate made trouble, the provincial governor also actively participated in the struggle, and people from all walks of life lobbied the central political axe and the royal court, the queen and the concubine did not let go, and the guard officers of the General Administration of the Inner Court did not let go.

The reason why there are so many things to blame, it is to blame Zhang Binglin, Zhang Binglin researched, the evidence is conclusive in the "Far East Daily" published an article claiming that Emperor Shenwu's hometown is Shandong, his ancestral home is Xuzhou, and his ancestral home is Shangqiu, which is after the eldest son of Emperor Yin Shang Emperor Weiziqi, Zhou Chengwang Fengweizi Qi in Shangqiu Song Land, called Song State, after Song Xianggong, Song State declined from the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons, and was forced to move south to Xuzhou, at the end of the Warring States Period, King Qi destroyed Song State, and the descendants of the Song family began to scatter all over the place, with Shandong as the majority, and then lived in Shandong for generations, Since the grandfather of Emperor Shenwu, the family moved to Lushun, fishing sea cucumbers as a business, his father and uncle joined the army, and the latter family died in the Lushun Massacre committed by the army.

The inner court couldn't control these things, so the governors and county magistrates of all walks of life represented the people to find Zhang Binglin, an immortal, to uphold justice.

This thing is also like a joke, but the bronze statue and stone statue of the emperor are being built on a large scale all over the country, and Shanxi is very powerful, and the Jin merchants on the other side of Shanxi donated money to build a silver statue.

In the words of the Jin merchants, it is now the gold control that is very strong, otherwise a statue of a pure gold emperor will be built.

There are indeed a lot of ancestral halls and temples related to the emperor in various places, universities and middle schools are not spared, and administrative organs are not spared, and almost every family in the homes of the common people has a portrait of the emperor, and they can't wait to send the emperor's tablet to the ancestral shrine (the longevity card, the meaning of blessing the emperor's longevity and health).

Song Biao wrote editorials in the past, including more than 2,000 articles hanging under his name, compiled into "The Complete Works of Emperor Shenwu", more than 40 million sets of engraved and printed nationwide, almost all the printing houses in China have to do this business in the past two years, how to print can be sold out, whether the people are literate or illiterate, it is like holding a set of holy decrees home, many rural families have that kind of big long table in the main hall, commonly known as "offering table", almost all of them have a complete set of "The Complete Works of Emperor Shenwu", and some bookstores directly change their names to " Emperor Shenwu's Complete Classics", completely as if the scriptures were being sold, and the General Administration of the Inner Court had received a soft hand in the past two years just for the receipt of manuscripts.

At this time, Song Biao was not only an emperor in the Chinese Empire, but also a god, that was the real true dragon son of heaven, the emperor sent by heaven to descend to earth, there is this saying, saying that Emperor Shenwu is the Yellow Emperor.

Because the Manchu Qing Dynasty is a water virtue and the Yellow Emperor is a soil virtue, since Emperor Shenwu can eliminate the Manchu Qing Dynasty and lead the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, it must be the Yellow Emperor who descended to earth. Love the house and Wu, the Yellow Emperor Temple and the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum have also been very hot in recent years.

There are sober people, like Tang Shaoyi, Cai Yuanpei, Ouyang Geng, Song Jiaoren...... These are very sober people, there are not sober people, like Yan Fu, Liang Qichao, Zhang Binglin, these are all great intellectuals who advocate the worship of the emperor, no matter whether the people above you are sober or not, the common people don't care what, as long as you are effective, worship it.

Song Biao has basically not been in China much in recent years, and when he returned to Yanjing this time, he really realized how much the people worshiped him, which was really much more exaggerated than the period of Taizu of the Republic.

After Song Biao returned to Yanjing, there was never a rest in the vicinity of Zhongnanhai, and tens of thousands of squires from all over the country came to worship every day, and the number and batches of students who came to organize parades to express their loyalty to the monarch were also very large.

Yanjing Railway Station is crowded with people every day, in the words of the Ministry of Communications, the crowded train can't go out, the Shenwu Temple in Yanjing Xishan, the Shenwu Temple in Lushun, and the Shenwu Temple in Shangqiu are all the same overcrowded, including the Lushun Massacre Monument There are also a lot of people who go to worship at the Lushun Massacre Monument, because the monument itself also mourns the royal family's clan.

Zhongnanhai is actually such a big place, and Song Biao has been unable to live in peace every day after returning to Yanjing, but he did not come forward to stop these things, nor did he think of solving the problem, because he needed to use this way to ensure his highest authority in all walks of life in the emperor's political circles.

Under such circumstances, the National Assembly and the Cabinet are powerless to refute him, and whatever he says is what he says, and whatever law he says will be enacted, and what kind of new deal he will promote, then whatever law must be enacted, and what kind of new deal will be implemented.

Song Biao just asked Zhang Binglin, Chen Qimei, Wang Zhaoming and others to think of a way, and the General Administration of the Inner Court came forward to formulate some systematic rules, such as Shenwu Temple, Shenwu Temple, Shenwu Palace, Long Live Temple, Long Live Monument, Shenwu Emperor Statue, Shenwu Portrait...... Under what conditions are allowed to be built and used, this requires rules, how the palaces built for him in each province should be disposed of, how to name and manage, which provinces can be built, which provinces cannot be repaired, which institutions to review and manage, these must have clear rules.

After roughly making an order, Song Biao took the royal family and his family to Lushan for a vacation.

The summer is scorching, and Lushan is definitely a good place to escape the heat.

China claims to have four major summer resorts, and Song Biao's favorite is Lushan, and the Inner Court Administration has been busy with this matter for a long time, buying the beautiful villa in a good location from the British Lord Lannorz, and building it as a royal summer palace on this basis.

The scale of the construction of the entire inner court summer palace is very large, four million yuan has been used in the past, and it is expected that more than six million yuan will be invested, according to the plan, more than 20 villas will continue to be built around, and in the hot season, the emperor and the cabinet will move here to hold a national meeting.

In the whole process of design and construction, the Royal Summer Palace hired a large number of famous German and Russian designers, and the style generally followed the route of Sino-Russian combination, which should be said to be a mainstream direction of the current empire in architecture.

In the past few years, the influence of Russian and German culture on the empire is still relatively deep, and the empire has imitated and learned German characteristics in military, education, industry, and politics, including the empire's promotion and implementation of the spirit of the law, the cultivation of excellent technicians, the focus on technical schools, and the funding of universities have German influences, and there are more Russian influences in architecture, life, and Russia.

First of all, the three eastern provinces were influenced by Russia a lot, and with the entry of the Northeast into the country, this influence was extended to the whole country, for example, the popularity of black tea, black bread, cheese, the promotion and cultivation of buckwheat and rye, and the number of Russian works translated into the country is very large, including Marx's "Capital", but this book has been restricted from the beginning, and only scholars and experts engaged in academic and theoretical research have the opportunity to get a set, and it must be registered.

But the ideas of the leftists, especially the Menshevik ideas that the empire could exist by default, already had a certain basis at home.

Song Biao was restrained in this matter, and in 1917 he specially approved Chen Zhongfu, Yu Yinchu, Xuan Zhonghua and others to form the Socialist Labor Party, and later followed the example of the German Social Democratic Party and reorganized into the Chinese Social Ming Cooking Party.

Song Biao, Chen Zhongfu, and Yu Yinchu also had two conversations, and the talks were still very interesting.

In fact, after the October Revolution in Russia, many political leaders of the Russian Mensheviks generally chose to flee to the three eastern provinces, especially the Russian districts of Aurora County and Harbin and Shenyang.

After May, China and the Soviet Union basically confirmed the framework for the formal establishment of diplomatic relations, and the Chinese Empire had consulates general in St. Petersburg, Kazan, and Yekaterinburg in Soviet Russia, and a legation in Moscow. Then he left Russia under the unified arrangement of the legation.

In the past decade or so, China and Russia have had very close contacts, and there are many non-governmental organizations such as the Sino-Russian Friendship Association and the Orthodox Church Friends, and through the operation of these organizations, a large number of Russians have been able to flee to China smoothly.

Because the Soviet Russian political axe has set up a very powerful Cheka organization, the whole country is carried out a large-scale investigation, especially the intellectuals, businessmen, and military personnel, for example, Kolchak and General Madenidov are the first military leaders to pledge allegiance to the Soviet Russian political axe, and finally, the Cheka gave them a special preferential policy, allowing them to go into exile in the United States and Britain, otherwise they will be directly imprisoned and dealt with.

According to statistics, during the Russian Civil War alone, more than 400,000 Russians were executed by the Cheka, and countless were executed, arrested, monitored, and investigated.

As soon as this door of China is opened, these people can only flee to China in a frenzy.

The threat of death and the Dark Axe is terrifying.

This includes many important Menshevik commentators and leaders, and their influence on the Chinese intellectual and political world is still very subtle.

Regarding this problem, Song Biao did not strictly control it, and the Central Investigation Bureau and the State Intelligence Administration were also paying attention to these people and these things, but they did not take more obvious measures.

In terms of domestic public opinion propaganda and criticism of the political system and ideology of Soviet Russia, Song Biao focused on two points: first, a large-scale public and in-depth report on the bloodshed and madness of Soviet Russia, breaking everyone's beautiful illusions about the Soviet Russian revolution; The second is to "build a truly free and open-boiled society" as one of the important goals of national rejuvenation.

That's not entirely reassuring.

During the two-month vacation in the Lushan Summer Palace, Song Biao invited many well-known scholars in the important social and cultural fields in China, as well as some well-known figures from political parties and newspapers, as well as many religious and ethnic leaders, about 100 people, to invite them to the Summer Palace for a vacation.

At this meeting, Song Biao and the others reached three consensuses: first, if Chinese society wants to develop and progress steadily, the people must be richer and more equal, enjoy more political rights and personal freedom, and the law and Ming Cook are the cornerstones to protect the interests of the people; Second, all illegal armed forces are the natural enemies of the country's stability, peace, freedom and progress; The third is freedom of religious and political belief, and each other shall not interfere with or deprive others of their right to belief by force or other means.

Soviet Russia is a typical negative teaching material, how powerful Tsarist Russia is, even if Tsarist Russia itself has very serious internal problems, even after the February Revolution, it still has the strength to ensure the interests of the country and the people, after the October Revolution suddenly became chaotic, all countries have to besiege it, and as a result, it has suffered heavy losses, and the people's lives are even more miserable.

On the issue of culture, Song Biao's hope was to support the establishment and reform of Chinese culture, to set up a national academy throughout the country, to study traditional Chinese studies and the Spring and Autumn Princes' thoughts, and to rejuvenate the Spring and Autumn Thoughts, to rejuvenate the Spring and Autumn Thought, to respect Confucius and Mengxun as the Three Sages, and to respect Sun Tzu, Han Feizi, and Mozi as the Sages of Soldiers, Fa and Mozi, rather than narrowly looking for the only answer to the revival of Chinese classical Chinese Classical Thought in Confucius's thought.

On the issue of religion, Song Biao's suggestion is to reform Confucianism into Hanism, or to set up another Hanism, but Hanism itself is not a pure religion, but a quasi-religion of ancestor worship, based on the worship of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, a significant difference from other religions is that Hanism has no churches, temples, only the Temple of Heaven, the Temple of Earth, the ancestral hall and other places of worship, as well as the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, the Yellow Emperor's Temple, and so on.

Song Biao's real choice in religion was to start supporting the Orthodox Church more, and demanded the establishment of a Patriarch and Pastoral District in the Empire, which was equivalent to that of Russia, which was feasible, and the pastoral areas of Greece and Romania were on par with Russia, but the Russian Orthodox Patriarch ranked fifth, second only to the Four Great Patriarchs.

The pitiful place is that the four patriarchal districts are basically occupied by the Islamic world, so these four patriarchal districts are also symbolic.

The reason why Song Biao chose to support Orthodox Christianity was, on the one hand, that the Russians had a relatively large population in China and that Orthodox Christianity spread widely; On the other hand, he was also very disapproving of the Protestant and Catholic institutions, especially the Catholic secular papal system, and finally the Orthodox system was more in line with the needs of the empire.

The problem of religion is a big one.

Polytheistic religions are difficult to compete with monotheistic religions in form and structure, and it is too late to reform China's native sects, and the best way to curb one monotheistic religion is to support another.

Catholicism certainly did not meet Song Biao's support, and Protestantism lacked convincing, and Song Biao's only choice was Orthodox Christianity. One of the peculiarities of the Orthodox Church lies in the orthodox spirit of the religion and its special values that distinguish it from the traditional European world, which had a profound influence on Russia and was one of the main reasons why it was impossible for Russia to fully integrate into Europe.

The official name of the Orthodox Church is "Oriental Orthodoxy", and the one-sided understanding and consideration of the orthodox spirit in the traditional Chinese mentality, coupled with its dependence on politics, are still more suitable for domestic implementation and key support, so as to squeeze the spread of Catholicism, Protestantism and Islam. The Orthodox Church is of some help to the orthodox surname of the throne, Song Biao does not need it now, it does not mean that it will not be needed in the future, what will be the situation in two hundred years, who knows?

Of course, China's native sects still need to be more actively supported, reformed, and modernized with a humanistic spirit, in line with modern aesthetics and humanistic pursuits, and not engage in those tricks of defrauding money by gods and gods.

Chinese are a very realistic nation, China's religion also has the problem of reality and philistine, the style is very low, either zombies or haunted, either feng shui or overcrossing, after doing it is to cheat money.

Song Biao's general feeling is that no matter what religion it is, it will change its flavor when it arrives in China, so he basically does not have much hope for the improvement of the original sound sect, and religion itself is the same as the commodity economy, the survival of the fittest, which is also a general trend that cannot be reversed by human will.

There is another reason why Song Biao considered supporting the Orthodox Church, that is, he has no concept of regional surname for religion, as long as it is beneficial to maintaining national stability, it is a good religion, otherwise he must find a way to suppress it secretly, or even ban and suppress it positively.

He really can't tolerate that the people don't have any distinction between good and evil except for making money, or he believes that he can't stand the state of being reincarnated as a second-generation official and a rich second-generation.

If it is such a national spirit, then this nation is terrible.

The new spirit advocated by the empire now is the Spring and Autumn Revival and modern Legalism, which advocates social initiatives such as "China is not only Confucius", but if Confucianism really suffers a big shock from the comprehensive foundation surname, it will also be very terrible.

Are such Chinese still Chinese?

What is left of the Chinese besides reality, industriousness and philistine?

The foundation of the nation has been destroyed, and the eight honors and eight shames are shouted very loudly, is it useful? Does it have even a small effect?

Is 3 reps useful?

As long as the foundation of the nation is still there and the system is perfect, then we can continue to promote the progress of the nation, which is better than destroying everything and reconstructing it!

To be "a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who is detached from low-level interests, and a person who is beneficial to the people", it sounds very good, how many are there in the country?

How huge is the base of 80 million, and is it a single digit or a ten-digit figure that meets the target?

We always say that the Confucian idea of "gentleman" is too demanding, and it is impossible for a few people to do it, so there are so many corrupt officials in history, "a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who is detached from low-level interests, and a person who is beneficial to the people" This standard is probably higher and more outrageous than the requirements of "gentleman", right?

Is this a "human" standard?

Reflect on whether it is only the official class that has the problem, or is it the whole society and the whole nation that have the problem? Are they just part of the whole national problem? Just a question of being above the masses for the sake of the masses?

So, after returning from Greece and Russia, Song Biao decided to do something that could make many people scold, just like Constantine the Great and Vladimir I, the Grand Duke of Kiev, had done in the same controversial way, pushing Eastern orthodoxy into the country, "luring the wolf into the house" is a good way to force social progress and reform.

Instead of wasting words and energy to persuade rigid and complex native sects to reform, it is better to directly introduce and support simpler and more suitable religions, because for the rulers of China, all religions are just a means of maintaining system governance, and if alien civilizations also spread a more powerful religion, the empire can still introduce support, because no matter what religion flows into the country, the foundation of China is still ancestor worship and clan worship, but if even this power to maintain the foundation of Chinese soul is artificially destroyed, Even if China becomes an atheistic country, it will completely lose its national spirit.

"Maybe it's better to worship God than to worship me, but I will always die, and the things I have done will always continue to affect you", this is what Song Biao thought when he made this decision.

As Peter the Great did, there is no shame in pushing for Westernization.

Even if the Chinese are re-Westernized, as long as they are not emasculated in the national spirit and culture, the Chinese will always remain Chinese.

Let him die for a thousand years, and the empire will still exist.
