After asking a few more questions, the reporters focused on Zhao Jinghui. Update up to 78xs //

"Mrs. Johnson, as the youngest Nobel laureate, how do you feel now?"

Zhao Jinghui still understands the reporter's question. As early as the beginning of the establishment of Jingshi University, Sun Yuanqi realized that there was a huge gap between China and Europe and the United States in terms of scientific research level, and while compiling teaching materials and promoting the trend of scientific development by himself, he actively encouraged students to take the initiative to read and translate all kinds of Western scientific and technological books and periodicals.

Although Zhao Jinghui is very familiar with foreign languages, she has never experienced such a battle, and it is inevitable that she will be a little flustered and a little stumbling in her speech: "I feel very honored to be very honored by the love of the Nobel Prize Committee......

Journalists' interest is clearly not here:

"Mrs. Johnson, what is the most important factor in how you consider yourself to be a world-famous scientist from an ordinary rural woman?"

Zhao Jinghui lowered his head and pinched the corners of his clothes: "I think the most important factor is that I met Mr. Sun." ”

"Meet Mr. Johnson? When it comes to scientific research, how can he help you? ”

"He has given me great help in research directions and research methods, such as the extraction of artemisinin and the discovery of penicillin. It can be said that without Mr. Sun's guidance, there would be no artemisinin and penicillin now. Zhao Jinghui replied truthfully.

"You mean that Mr. Johnson was instrumental in the development of a range of drugs, such as artemisinin and penicillin?"

"At least in the case of artemisinin and penicillin, his role is irreplaceable." Zhao Jinghui said.

"So what do you think of Johnson's recent paper published in the journal Science? Did he discuss the issue with you during the writing process? ”

"Mr. Sun didn't discuss it with me when he was writing his paper, and I just read about it in the journal Science. Although I don't know much about what the paper covers, I firmly believe that this paper must be very important and will move biology forward rapidly. Zhao Jinghui's tone was firm.

"Mrs. Johnson, what do you think of Mr. Johnson?"

"He was a great man, both academically and morally."

"Mrs. Johnson. It is said that the relationship between you and Dr. Johnson is very complex, including master and servant, teacher and student, husband and wife, etc., which relationship do you value the most? ”

"Uh......" Zhao Jinghui blushed, not knowing how to answer this question. If you want to say the answer, it should naturally be the relationship between husband and wife, but as a traditional Chinese woman, how can such an answer be said?

Seeing this, the reporters immediately struck while the iron was hot and asked: "There are rumors that your marriage to Mr. Johnson was forced. Have you ever regretted it? ”

Zhao Jinghui raised his head suddenly when he heard this, and replied, "No, my marriage to Mr. Sun is completely voluntary, and I have never regretted it!" ”

While Zhao Jinghui was besieged by reporters, Sun Yuanqi was also troubled, but his troubles did not come from the news media. The root cause of the troubles was the "Russian-Kuku Treaty" signed by the former Tsarist minister to China, Kusovic, with the "Jebtsundamba government" in Kulen, the purpose of which was to seek the independence of Outer Mongolia.

Speaking of the independence of Outer Mongolia, things have to start from the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

In our traditional history textbooks, it will be said that in 1368 AD Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew the rule of the Yuan Dynasty and established the Ming Dynasty. In fact, after Xu Da's army captured Dadu, the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, in 1368, the Yuan Dynasty did not fall there. Instead, Emperor Yuan Shun led the Mongols back to the Mongolian plateau, continued to confront the Ming army, and constantly launched attacks on the Ming border, in an attempt to restore his rule in the country. This regime lasted for 20 years, and the country name was still called Dayuan, so it was called "Northern Yuan" because it was located in the north of Saibei, until 1388 A.D. Emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the Great Khan Tugus Timur was killed by the traitor and Sudieer.

After the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the regime was renamed Mongolia. The Golden Family's influence on the Mongolian plateau waned, but its profound influence persisted for a long time, establishing a regime that was completely independent of the Central Plains and belonged to the Mongols themselves. Helplessly, the Mongols have always had a heart higher than the sky and a thinner life than paper, and the Ming Dynasty army made several northern expeditions, and was beaten to the point that they lost their armor; Later, it was cleaned up by the Jurchens, coupled with continuous internal strife and the rise of Buddhism. Mongolia is as weak as the white grass of autumn on the plateau, and this wish has to be buried deep in the bottom of my heart, waiting for the time to come.

After countless generations of anticipation, the time finally appeared around the time of the Xinhai Revolution. At this time. The Qing government, eager to suppress the rebellion in the southern provinces, had no time to take care of the barren land of Outer Mongolia, and its control was declining day by day. Externally, since the 16th century when Tsarist Russia ran Siberia, it has coveted Inner and Outer Mongolia, and has constantly infiltrated through economic, cultural, political, and religious means, in an attempt to instigate Mongolian pro-Russian separatist forces to make Outer Mongolia separate from China and then become a protectorate of Tsarist Russia.

In July 1911, at the instigation of Rafdowsky, the acting consul of Tsarist Russia in Kulen (now Ulaanbaatar), the pro-Russian Handa Dorji (Prince Zasak and Shuo of the Right Wing Left Banner of the Tushetu Khan Department of Outer Mongolia) and others took advantage of the opportunity of holding the grand ceremony of the princes and guilds of the leagues to suddenly declare their independence from China and form a delegation to Russia to demand the protection of Tsarist Russia. Although the Qing government was weak, it was unequivocal about this, and immediately lodged a strong protest against Tsarist Russia. The Tsarist government openly held active consultations with the Qing government, but secretly sent guns to Mongolian separatists to show support.

With the support and planning of Tsarist Russia, the Outer Mongolian separatist forces besieged the Yamen of the Qing government in Kulun at the end of November and early December 1911, disarmed the Qing army, and escorted the minister Sanduo and his entourage out of the country. Subsequently, the independence of Outer Mongolia was declared, the Great Mongolian State was established, and the 8th Jebtsundamba Hutuktu was enthroned as the emperor, called "Ezhen Khan", and the year name was co-worn. Obviously, it was impossible for the Qing government at that time and the subsequent government of the Republic of China to recognize this independence.

After the success of the Xinhai Revolution, the government of the Republic of China also actively negotiated with the Tsarist government, and sent people to Kulun to persuade Jebtsundamba to cancel its independence, but there was no response. In November, Kosović and Jebtsundamba signed the Four Articles of the Russo-Mongolian Entente at Kulen, clearly stating that the Russian government would provide assistance to Mongolia by training a national army so that Mongolia could maintain its current form of self-government. and helped Mongolia ban Chinese troops and immigrants from entering Mongolia.

The main thrust of the "Russo-Mongolian Entente" was to expel China, become independent of Mongolia, and defect to Tsarist Russia. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a note to the Russian envoy to China expressing strong protest, stating that China will not recognize any kind of agreement between Outer Mongolia and foreign countries. Foreign Minister Liang Ruhao even went to the Tsarist Russian Embassy in China to demand that the Russian Government quickly cancel the "Russian-Mongolian Entente." The governors of all provinces jointly sent a telegram to Yuan Shikai, asking them to gather the national army to conquer Mongolia; The Kuomintang, the Republican Party, and the New China Party held a joint meeting to discuss the Outer Mongolian issue, and they all advocated the use of troops. For example, Guangdong Province even held a military conference and decided to allocate two divisions and one brigade of the Guangdong Provincial Army to the purpose of conquest of Mongolia.

Under this general trend, Yuan Shikai also said that to solve the Outer Mongolia issue, we must first rely on not losing territory and sovereignty, and then try our best to understand it by peaceful means, in case things break up, but personally lead the army to go out to live up to the people's trust. At the same time, the provinces were secretly ordered to suspend the implementation of the original disarmament measures, and all ministries were instructed to conduct serious training and wait for the dispatch of the central authorities.

Objectively speaking, Yuan Shikai's move is indeed upright and reasonable, but Sun Yuanqi doubts how determined Yuan Shikai is to use force. In Sun Yuanqi's view, although Tsarist Russia covets the territory of Inner and Inner Mongolia, it is now in turmoil at home, and it is busy participating in the Balkan War, and it does not have the energy to prepare for an all-out war with China. If Yuan Shikai could organize two or three divisions of Beiyang elite soldiers to quickly quell the rebellion in Outer Mongolia with the momentum of a lion fighting a rabbit, Tsarist Russia would not have the opportunity and ability to intervene at all.

And in view of Sun Yuanqi's great achievements in sending troops into Tibet to quell the rebellion, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places where Sun Yuanqi was entrenched hesitated to neighbor Mongolia, so they called Sun Yuanqi one after another, hoping that he could make persistent efforts and Jia Yuyong, and quickly send troops to quell the rebellion in Outer Mongolia. Of course, Sun Yuanqi's command could indeed draw out two divisions of troops to go north, and Sun Yuanqi also had such a plan, but these telegrams revealed a bit of conspiracy, which made Sun Yuanqi frightened.

Yang Yongtai has been accompanying Sun Yuanqi since Henan Province and is in charge of the election campaign of the New China Party, and after reading these telegrams, he also agreed with Sun Yuanqi's intuition: "Your Excellency's opinion is that the governors of other provinces in the country can ask to send troops to the north, but we can't!" ”

"Oh, your reason?" Sun Yuanqi asked.

Yang Yongtai said: "The reason why the governors of the southern provinces clamored for 'Ke Ji Zheng Meng' was that Yuan Xiangcheng did not dare to send them north, because Yuan Xiangcheng was afraid that the revolutionary forces in the south would take the opportunity to turn the 'Zheng Meng' into the 'Northern Expedition'. If Yuan Xiangcheng is fully prepared to prevent them from taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, they can also open their mouths and ask for military salaries and firearms, and then hesitate after the military salaries and firearms are in hand, what can Yuan Xiangcheng do to them? And once we ask to send troops north, Yuan Xiangcheng is likely to go along the river and agree! ”

"Are you worried about a situation where the snipe and the clam compete for the profit of the fisherman?" Sun Yuanqi frowned. (To be continued.)
