Chapter 324: Beiyang Crisis

Jiang Baili suddenly proposed to return the cultural relics at this time, and everyone in the Chinese delegation was a little confused, but Jiang Baili represented Qiao Yu's meaning, and they could also guess that maybe this patrol envoy wanted to find a step down, since this was the case, it was better to ask for more.

"There are more than a million pieces of Chinese cultural relics lost overseas, and the Louvre's collection is definitely more than 10,000 pieces, and the return of only 500 pieces is not a way to send away the flowers, at least 5,000 pieces must be returned." Gu Weijun had already changed into oily clothes at this time, and continued to deal with the three giants.

Lloyd George rolled his eyes on the side, he seemed to have a new idea, and suddenly smiled: "I also think this suggestion is very good, but although there are a lot of treasures in the collection, we have purchased them using legal channels, and there is absolutely no uncivilized behavior such as snatching, but since China has this request, I think it is better for our three countries to come forward together, and France will return 3,000 pieces, the United States and Britain will each return 1,000 pieces, and make up 5,000 pieces, what do you think!" ”

Jiang Baili knew that the bottom line given by Qiao Yu was three thousand pieces, and now that it has exceeded this reserve price, it can still be promised, so he nodded in agreement, and Clemenceau snorted angrily: "Cultural relics can be returned, but all Chinese must evacuate Paris as soon as possible, and then hurry back, damn scoundrel!" ”

The great powers have always only entered but not out, belonging to Pixiu, to be able to take out a little thing from their mouths, it is definitely more difficult than ascending to the sky, but the Chinese delegation finally did this, but they also became the most unpopular group of people in France, along with all the laborers were driven out of Paris, under the strict supervision of the military and police to return to China as soon as possible, after the Chinese side got the news, Shi Dingzhong personally came forward, with a large number of experts to Europe and the United States to receive cultural relics, to avoid these powers from cheating.

The Paris Peace Conference, which belonged to the Chinese, finally ended, but the storm caused was far from stopping, and even said that there was an increasingly fierce trend, China's actions completely pierced the face of the peace conference, this was just a feast of the great powers to share the spoils, weak and small countries and nations only had to be slaughtered, almost all the people in the colonies completely expressed their disappointment with the foreign powers, and the colonial uprisings that followed came one after another, continuously, and even almost buried the entire colonial order.

And for China, an ancient country, is also a huge lesson, all walks of life in China are reflecting on the attitude towards the great powers, and even how to look at the problems of the Western world, their past propaganda has become insignificant in the face of reality, the Chinese representative can not be regarded as without gains, on the contrary, China's income is still very amazing, of course, not only the three giants without any binding statement, nor 5,000 cultural relics, but the Chinese began to say no to the powers, but openly rebelled against the decisions of the powers, The determination to burn the jade also shook the whole world, and in turn, it also shocked China itself.

These laborers who participated in the French march were all regarded as national heroes and enjoyed supreme glory, and the domestic people consciously began to dislike the concession and despise the two devils, so it can be said that the Chinese people's dislike of the West has reached a new height, and anyone in the academic circles who continues to praise the West will definitely be spurned.

After the West lost its charm, the concept of one-party governance advocated by the Unification Ming Cook Party was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, only strength can be respected, only iron and blood can win power, the slogan of industrial power is higher and higher, and the scale of investment is also growing wildly, especially Lianghu and Guangdong, their own conditions are much better than those in the southwest, and they are all implementing reforms, making the trend of developing heavy industry more and more violent.

Of course, the benefits of the First World War were not only these, the concessions of Germany and Austria-Hungary were all gone, Russia's was also recovered, and the Gengzi indemnity was completely canceled, it can be said that the various privileges of the great powers in China have in fact begun to loosen, and the most gratifying thing is the complete rupture of Sino-Chinese relations, China's domestic anti-Japanese sentiment has reached a peak, the goods cannot be sold in China at all, the port terminals refuse to load and unload materials for the capital, the former high-minded people have been violently beaten, and the concession has encountered an unprecedentedly serious economic blockade.

This blockade did not come from the political axe, but the people-led, political axe and the people's cooperation, it can be said that the goodwill that the people who had worked hard to create were almost completely destroyed at this moment, and the image of the people was also plummeting.

At this time, Qiao Yu ushered in an old friend, that is, Yang Du Yang Huizi, the mastermind of Yuan Shikai, who single-handedly instigated the Hongxian Empire, has not met for more than three years, Yang Du no longer has the vigor in the sky, but it seems extraordinarily peaceful, as if a sword is in the sheath, without any edge.

"Mr. Huizi, I heard that you have called yourself a Tiger Zen Master, and you already have the intention of quitting Hongchen, why are you still willing to come to me?"

Yang Du didn't answer directly, but took a sip of tea lightly, and said with a smile: "Qiao Shuai, you are now more and more aware of enjoyment, your tea is probably not worse than the tribute tea that the emperor drinks, right?" ”

"Huizi, you are wrong, this is better than tribute tea, tea is something growing on the tree, it is inevitable that there will be a different year, if the best is given to the emperor, his mouth is raised, once the year gets worse, the emperor will be angry, but he will lose his head, so the people below will not let the emperor drink the best tea!"

Yang Du laughed when he heard this, pointed at Qiao Yu with his finger, and said loudly: "Qiao Shuai, you can see it clearly, this is the truth that has been deceived since ancient times, Yuan Shikai was blinded by this back then, and misjudged the situation, of course, I am the same, a blind eye!" ”

Since the failure of the Hongxian Empire, Yang Du has been thinking hard, how could a good monarch save the country in an instant! Yang Du remembered Qiao Yu's reminder more and more, Chinese do worship imperial power, but there is only one imperial power, so the best way for everyone is to completely eliminate imperial power.

"After the Republic of China, there are three major forces in China, one is Beiyang, one is the Kuomintang, and the other is your Qiao Shunqing's Sichuan system, now the Kuomintang is completely finished, Beiyang is also called Bo Xishan, but the Sichuan system is steaming, I don't know when Qiao Shuai is going to ascend to Dabao?"

"Mr. Huizi said that he laughed, now it is Beiyang who is in power, and I believe in Ming Cooking, so why did I come to Dabao to say it?"

"Qiao Shuai, I have seen it clear from the time you formed the Unification Ming Cook Party, you and I actually have the same judgment on the current situation in China, and we both understand that we must use power to transform China, develop the economy, and build the army, and not take a step back too much, and want to use the prestige of the imperial power to achieve it, but you Qiao Shunqing has taken a step forward, and the method of one-party rule seems to be much better than my method!"

Yang Du didn't seem to have said so many things for a long time, and he was very interested, and continued: "At the beginning, I thought that Qiao Shuai would take the Kuomintang as your own, and then use the prestige of the Kuomintang to replace Beiyang, but I still misjudged, your plan is more far-reaching, and now there are still many people who hope that you can pardon Sun Wen, but I firmly believe that Sun Wen will spend the rest of his life in prison, am I right?" ”

Qiao Yu nodded: "Mr. Huizi Gaojian, I will never let Sun Wen come out, and he has been diagnosed with liver cancer, I am afraid he will die soon!" ”

Yang Du sighed slightly, and asked with some emotion: "I heard that Huang Keqiang is also dead?" Qiao Yu nodded again, Huang Xing's health has not been good, some time ago Sichuan implemented agricultural reform, Huang Xing knew very well that this was a key step to change Chinese society, so despite the dissuasion, he personally went to various villages to inspect the situation, and then overworked, collapsed on the hospital bed, and died a month ago.

"When Sun Wen and Huang Xing met, I introduced them, but now in retrospect, it seems like a lifetime, not only Huang Xing, Cai Ye and Chen Qimei are also dead, and the characters who were powerful at the beginning are almost dead now!"

Cai Yi was treated in Yucheng for a period of time, and his body began to recover for a while, but he was infected with the Spanish flu, although there was a sulfonamide special drug, but his physique was too weak and he did not survive, and Chen Qimei had already been hollowed out by wine, especially after testifying against Sun Wen, he was also devastated, and finally did not survive a few months, and he was already dead.

"Qiao Shuai, I really didn't expect Sun Wen to want to kill Chen Qimei, it's really unexpected that such a thing as power can make people so crazy!"

"Chen Qimei killed Tao Chengzhang and Song Jiaoren for Sun Wen, he knows too many secrets, and naturally he can't escape death, but the thing is still very simple, there are hands and feet behind this, my intelligence officers have found out that there is a Ministry of Co-Prosperity, which is a department specially set up to promote the invasion of China, ostensibly to promote coexistence and co-prosperity, but in fact it is to occupy the whole of China, speaking of which my thoughts are also special enough, they actually think that the current China is like the Warring States Period, It is said that Ben has also inherited a lot of Chinese culture, so they are also qualified to compete in the Central Plains, just like the Qin State back then, which is really funny, but this secret department is still making waves in China, doing evil, and becoming the mastermind behind many incidents! ”

"Qiao Shuai has more unexpected, I am small, I can't see so far, so they are good at dividing many complex problems into countless pieces, and then little by little research, but often because of the loss of the overall perspective, they can't get the correct results, such as this Shandong issue, causing the fierce confrontation between the Chinese and the two people, and then the goods can't be sold at all, and many people in the business community can't understand it, they can't believe that the Chinese are not boycotting the goods because of quality problems, The stupidity of the islanders of a small country can be seen, regardless of such a small island country but it has brought us so much harm, it is really worth reflecting on, Qiao Shuai, looking at the world, your means and knowledge are second to none, I suggest that you replace Beiyang as soon as possible, and let China suffer less! ”

"Mr. Huizi, the Beiyang forces are still not small, and I don't want to fight a civil war, I'm afraid the time is not ripe yet!"

"Qiao Shuai, you are wrong, the situation of Beiyang is actually very difficult, the conditions of China at the Paris Peace Conference were not agreed to by the great powers, it can be said that it is a huge blow to the prestige of Beiyang, many people have come out to question the problem of participating in the war, even Wu Peifu, Feng Yuxiang, Zhang Zuolin, these Beiyang generals have accused the political axe of being too weak, losing power and humiliating the country, and Beiyang's action to recover the northern territory is very slow, although Outer Mongolia is barely handed, but the problem of the Middle East Road has not been solved so far, Duan Qirui has been exhausted, Born out of mind, Qiao Shuai, your opportunity is right in front of you! ”
