Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In 19o3, due to the weakening of the ruling power of the Qing Dynasty and the relaxation of civil supervision by the New Deal at the end of the Qing Dynasty, more and more newspapers appeared. Due to the incompetence of the Manchu government and its inability to face foreign oppression, many people with lofty ideals in Jiangnan began to look for the direction of strengthening the country. Of course, the path taken by the Sickle Hammer Society was criticized as an evil path, and these gentry groups also wanted to take a path of power that suited their interests out of fear of a complete revolution of the Sickle Society.
The only thing they have in common is that the revolution cannot be carried out by the peasants at the bottom, and without the leadership of these "sensible" and literate people, the revolution of the low-level people would be a destructive peasant uprising. Just like the extremist forces in China now, what a certain madman (Su Bao is too smart to name names) is doing total destruction of culture in China.
On the second day, in accordance with the content outline required by Cheng Pan, the Sickle Hammer Society criticized the two points that the landlord class represented Chinese civilization and that the landlord clan culture represented Chinese culture. As a science student, although science is not very good, Cheng Pan's worldview developed before crossing is a worldview where productivity is king, Cheng Pan only bows his head willingly to scientific research workers such as two bombs and one star, hybrid rice, etc., no matter how famous you are, how profound and touching the language is, Cheng Pan only looks at what these so-called celebrities have done. I didn't let myself have an extra grain of rice in my bowl, an extra inch of cloth on my body, and an extra iron or two around me. There is no need to show respect for so-called celebrities.
The newspapers also portrayed the return of the warships in Jiaozhou Bay to Germany as a humiliating treaty against Germany. Also these warships were to appease the nervous emperor of Europe, so that the import of large industrial equipment could be accelerated. All of a sudden, these literati elevated coastal defense to a point of concern for the survival of the country. He has been questioning in the newspapers why the Sickle Hammer Society does not show the navy. Well, there are European powers behind this, and the trade volume of the Sickle Hammer Society and European countries began to soar after the implementation of the non-surplus trade, and the Sickle Hammer Society embarked on the road of industrialization, although it was a primary industrialization, but the wealth of the creation zào was far greater than that of the agricultural society, and seeing that the Sickle Hammer Society had spare money in its hands, merchants from various countries began to tap various business opportunities...... This is a thing that makes all countries shine in the eyes of all countries, that is, the Sickle Hammer Society has a market of 200 million people and a powerful 6th Army, but there is no navy, which is extremely abnormal in the eyes of Europeans. With the promulgation of the German Navy Act, countries began an arms race, and warships were getting bigger and bigger, and the combat effectiveness of the previous warships was no longer important, and they wanted to sell them for some money to build new warships. Before the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan and the Qing Dynasty spent money on warships, which impressed all countries. A small Japan can spend so much money to buy warships, how good it would be to open up the emerging battleship market of the Kamazusha Society. The German emperor had just determined that the German ** ship in Qingdao would be returned to Qingdao by the Sickle Society, and he immediately asked the German minister to see if it could be sold, but the Sickle Hammer Society was not advanced in oil and salt and was even a little pedantic, and insisted on the navy that as long as the Shandong 6th Army guarded several good ports, it would be fine.
The British, the French, the Germans, the Italians, and the Americans all tried to sell warships, and the most unscrupulous thing was that the British, in spite of the Anglo-Japanese alliance that had just been signed, preached the theory of the Russian naval threat and the Japanese maritime threat theory here at the Kamaksha Society. However, under the crazy instigation of public opinion and foreign public opinion in the Qing Dynasty, the Kamaki Society did not buy warships, and the merchants of various countries were very disappointed, but the Japanese were very happy and began to publicize in the newspapers the possibility of Japan and the Kama-Hammer Society-led Shina jointly fighting against the whites, but the three eastern provinces were lost in the future cooperation map drawn by the Japanese. Cheng Pan threw it aside.
It's not that Cheng Pan doesn't pay attention to the navy, and in the process of this heavy industry not completing the foundation laying, he directly spent money to buy battleships as toys to play with, and his head was pumped. Moreover, 19o6 was the era of dreadnoughts, and these 10,000-ton warships Cheng Pan bought them as fishery ships were too coal-consuming, and it was better to buy them. Now the technology of welders and steel technology has not passed the test, and the navy is a waste of money and labor, and besides, the pressure of the sickle and the coastal defense is small and there are no overseas interests, and now the warship is developed, which is a waste of valuable human resources.
There is no warship Cheng Pan can still find fault with some countries in February, when the British avoided the Qing government and Russia to negotiate, the Chain Hammer Society has begun to send troops into Sichuan to familiarize themselves with combat training at an altitude of 4 kilometers, in order to deal with the British troops, Cheng Pan prepared twice as many Chinese troops in the Sino-Indian border war in history, a total of six regiments with a total of 20,000 people, and these 20,000 people are all people who stayed after three months of elimination, and the Sickle Hammer Society postponed the plan to annex Shaanxi for this operation. In order to give the British a long memory in Tibet.
The 20,000 men of the Sickle Hammer Society did not do nothing in the past few months, and first set off a campaign to fight the slave owners directly in Xikang, and the serf liberation movement began. In fact, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the serf owners and Tusi and other upper-class people in Xikang were very dishonest and rebelled at every turn. The serf emancipation movement aroused the hatred of these toasts among the lower classes, and the next thing was that the Sickle Hammer Society began to organize production, and to tie these newly emancipated serfs to the economy of the Sickle Hammer Society economically. Next, the part of faith needs to be carefully operated. Tibetans believe in Buddhism, Buddhism is actually a very gentle religion, what the bald monks in later generations are doing, it is just to make people abuse, to cause harm to others is strictly against the teachings of Buddhism, but Tibetans worship Buddha, and a large number of Tibetans in later generations will divide their year's labor into two shares, one for their own flowers, and one for the temple. This is unimaginable in the eyes of most Han Chinese. Well, since the Tibetan people's devotion to the Buddha cannot be stopped, then it is necessary to strictly control the style of the monks in the temple, and when the Tibetan monks must have the standard of ascetics, this standard must be formulated by the government. In later generations, the temple that hid pieces in the temple can still be called a temple.
This law on the management of monasteries is being carefully implemented, and the Sickle and Hammer Society has discussed that in the future unification of China, the right to select the Buddha in the golden vase of the two living Buddhas in Tibet must be inherited.
On November 4, 19o3, Francis Younghusband assembled at the Tibetan border with 10,000 men, and when the British diplomats in the Far East heard the news, their first reaction was that the guys in Whitehall had reported the expansion of the Sickle Society to the Sichuan area, and the Indian gang marched into Tibet in their own way. In fact, Whitehall had carefully read the news of the Chinese minister's control of Sichuan, but they thought that the Sickle Society had just taken Sichuan and needed to digest it, just as European countries had just taken a colony and needed to suppress local resistance. These Europeans used European ideas to set up a big strategic loss in China, a country that has been a great unification since ancient times, and the Sickle Hammer Society has already made it clear that the Qing Dynasty is an opponent in the civil war, and it has also proved its own power in the Battle of Beijing, which is equivalent to showing its qualification to win the world in front of all Chinese, and no matter how many people in other provinces smear the Sickle Hammer Society, they cannot say that the Sickle Hammer Society is a foreign invasion. The annexation of the provinces in China by the Sickle Hammer Society was a slow process of unification, in which there was no ethnic hatred to drive the formation of guerrillas, and the annexation of Sichuan by the Sickle Hammer Society was a victory or defeat for the Sichuan people. It's just that in order to lay a solid foundation step by step to establish an industry and completely crush the old class, the process of unification was a slow process that lasted for several years, which gave Westerners the illusion that the Sickle Society was slowly expanding under strong external resistance.
The British minister in the Far East in China felt that Whitehall was giving himself a problem, but things still had to be done, the British minister specially came to the territory of the Sickle Hammer Society to negotiate with Gao Yun of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Sickle Society, and the British minister very strictly stated what the British Empire did in Tibet and warned the Sickle Hammer Society not to do stupid things, Gao Yun was instructed by Cheng Pan not to express his position, we are ready to stuffy sticks. Gao Yun faced the warning of the British minister, and the British minister mistakenly thought that this was a tactful avoidance by the Sickle Society, so he went back with confidence.
There is a great difference between the diplomacy of this era and the diplomacy of later generations, and Europe, which did not experience two brutal world wars, now regards the social Darwinian theory of natural selection as the truth, and they are killing the people of backward countries with a great mission to purify human blood. Cheng Pan felt ridiculous about the concept of civilized diplomacy in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, people see you as a garbage race ready to eliminate harm to the earth, and you talk about civilization to others. You are a backward race, and you are worthy of civilization.
In the face of this kind of diplomatic situation, there is no warning with a mouth, and only by letting the other side die to the other side is afraid, the other side will re-examine you. In April 19o4, the British encountered 5,000 Tibetan soldiers with arquebuses in the valley, and the Tibetan commander showed the Qing Dynasty's canonization of the lord of this land, because the Tibetan soldiers occupied the high ground, the British pretended to negotiate peace, and proposed that both sides withdraw from the bullets, the Tibetans did not understand the principle that modern rifles can be loaded with multiple bullets, and saw that the British army withdrew a bullet, and these honest people who believed in Buddhism also extinguished the fire of the arquebus. At this time, the British opened fire, and a full 5,000 Tibetan soldiers were slaughtered by machine guns and rifles. After this battle, Younghusband proudly said to his soldiers, "This is wisdom to the barbarians." Just when the British army was preparing to advance to Lhasa, the six regiments of the Sickle Hammer Society, under the leadership of Tibetan guides, also began to advance towards the holy city of Lhasa.
Cheng Pan also came to the Xikang area at this time, where Cheng Pan was already preparing to fight a large-scale border war with Britain on the Sino-Indian border, and supplies were transported by horses along the Ancient Tea Horse Road. Cheng Pan was very shocked when he came to Tibet, and a faint will filled the heavens and the earth. This will is already very weak, and in some places, this will is almost gone, but such a will that covers the vast number makes Cheng Pan think of the gods. This will is solemn and soft at the same time, at this time, Cheng Pan couldn't help but ask what is this in the main god space? The main god space's answer to this is the will field left by fourth-order creatures in this plane. Fourth-order gene-locked creatures, the fourth-order creatures that Cheng Pan has seen so far only have nightmare space, and at that time, Cheng Pan was still hiding under the will of the plane, and he felt unable to resist the fourth-order creatures. After charging to confirm that this fourth-order creature was no longer in this plane, Cheng Pan was relieved. Even if it is the lowest-level fourth-order creature, it is not something that Cheng Pan, a small second-order genetic lock, can resist. This kind of thing shouldn't be found in the lower planes.
Cheng Pan then observed that this will is very weak, so weak that it cannot affect the Red Army entering Tibet this time, there seems to be a layer of obstruction around the Red Army, this will seems to be dissipating when encountered, and the residual will of the fourth-order creatures will retreat when it encounters mortals? Cheng Pan was a little puzzled, the main god space gave the answer, because of the power of faith, because Cheng Pan threw out a thought center for reviving civilization, so that the people of the Sickle Hammer Society had a unified belief, and this power of faith was enough to cut off the intrusion of the residual will of the fourth-order creatures. Cheng Pan understood this statement, imagining the will of the Red Army to cross the snow-capped mountains and cross the grassland. The will that permeates the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in front of him cannot be interfered with.
Since the will pervasive in Tibet could not interfere with his own security and the army's thinking, Cheng Pan put it aside, and the commander of this invasion of Tibet was He Bei, and the combat goal given to him by the Sickle Hammer Society was to eliminate the power of the British in Tibet. Don't care about external disputes, the harder you fight, the better.
Due to the arrogance of the British ** team, according to the British army, the front is heavy and the rear is light, the flanks are exposed, and the front is wide. And Macdonald and Younghusband also command in two parts. In the face of the sudden arrival of the Chinese Red Army British ** team, they felt stunned, but He Bei did not give them a chance to speak, and now their own side is a fool to use their fists directly. The equipment of the two sides was similar, and the Sickle Hammer Society equipped the troops who entered Tibet this time with imitation Mauser rifles. The machine-gun and artillery firepower was far superior to that of the British, and the British had an interesting point in that they were all Indians who had voluntarily lined up to surrender after the colonial officers were killed by snipers.
At the end of the first phase of the Sino-British War, because there was no telegraph in Tibet, the British did not know that they had been beaten in Tibet, and all 3,000 invading troops were annihilated. Subsequently, the Sickle and Hammer Society did not stop preparing intensively for the second phase of the battle plan, began to hoard materials on the Tibetan border, and hundreds of thousands of logistics personnel in Sichuan prepared supplies for the 20,000 soldiers on the front line.
In July 19o4, the British troops on the Indian side never got any news from the Tibetan side, and finally sent people to the Tibetan side to inquire only to learn that their own troops had been completely annihilated by a group of troops under the banner of August 1. The next day, the British minister in China came over angrily and questioned, in order to ensure the suddenness of the second phase of the war, the Sickle Hammer Society did not publicize the Sino-British war, but the British took the initiative to come to the door, and the Sickle Hammer Society generously admitted it. Regarding the British minister's request for compensation for the withdrawal of troops, Gao Yun did not play Tai Chi this time, and directly refused stubbornly, and the British minister threatened to go back after a few words about what the British Empire would do.
Immediately, the British Whitehall made a decision to punish the Sickle Society, on the one hand, ordering the Indian military to make preparations for a second invasion of Tibet, and on the other hand, allowing the Asian fleet to demonstrate in Qingdao. The British's manifesto gave the Qing newspapers a small amount of praise for the hard-line attitude of the Sickle Society, and the royalists and revolutionaries began to claim that the Sickle Society was stirring up a provocation. Establish a strong enemy for China. He called on the provinces to protect themselves from the north and the south, and to ensure that China does not implicate the half of the enlightened people who govern China. Cheng Pan read the words of these newspapers and said: "I smell a strong smell of weakling. ”
In August, when 30,000 colonial troops climbed up from a low altitude out of breath, they rushed too fast and were a little short of oxygen, so He Bei immediately took the initiative to attack and take advantage of your illness to kill you. The Sickle Hammer Society attacked all the way along the high grounds, and the 30,000 British colonial troops produced a huge rout. In the following several battles in various mountain passes, the deployment of the British army in eastern India was all disrupted, and in October, the Red Army approached New Delhi all the way, Cheng Pan did not have the shame of the leaders of the original time and space, and the Europeans and Americans of this era did not define brutality. After receiving confirmation, the Chinese Red Army fired a thousand white phosphorus shells at New Delhi with mortars of caliber 1oo mm, causing a large fire, and the British troops stationed in New Delhi were routed on their own.
At this time, Britain was in a hurry, and on the one hand, India expressed its determination to continue fighting and defend the British Empire's crown in India, and on the other hand, ordered the fleet to storm the fortress of Qingdao. Qingdao Fortress has been turned into a strong fortress under the accumulation of massive reinforced concrete. The naval guns had no effect on the upward fire, but were sunk by large-caliber fortress guns. The commander of the British fleet immediately ordered a thorough battle, and it was a fool's act to fight the fortress. The commander of the fleet ordered the blockade of the entrance to the sea of the Sickle Society, and as for the Deng 6 operation, since the Chinese Red Army pushed all the way to New Delhi, no one in the world underestimated the Chinese 6 Army. Although the British did not know that Cheng Pan had ordered the troops to retreat.
It has to be said that India is a dead end for Britain, and Britain can compromise anywhere Once it touches India, Britain is ready to send capital ships from Europe to Asia. By the time the war had reached the point where Britain had set its sights on Asia, it was fighting a nationwide war with the goal of defending India. By the time the British had gathered 100,000 troops in South India to advance northward, the Red Army had withdrawn to the heights of the Tibetan Plateau. The British then regained a piece of New Delhi that had been set on fire. As for the highlands of the Tibetan Plateau, Britain does not have the courage to go up again. However, Britain did not dare to relax at all, and the huge forces were massed in the northeast of India, and the navy was assembled near Shandong, and for a time the forces of the British Empire in the Far East were unprecedented. The Russo-Japanese War, which was about to erupt, was postponed by this event.
But when the British Empire concentrated its forces in the East, Germany's Wilhelm was happy, and in 19o4 Britain signed a Triple Entente with Paris when it sent its capital ships to the East, in which the two countries divided Morocco and infringed on German interests in Morocco, and in December 19o4, the Moroccan crisis broke out, and unlike history, the Germans were much tougher in diplomacy. In the face of a fire in Europe at home, Britain now does not dare to go to Tibet in Asia, Qingdao cannot afford to fight, and at the same time, the Sickle Hammer Society has little interest in India, and has decided to quickly resolve this Asian conflict.
Sino-British negotiations were carried out in Ma'anshan, at this time the British minister has been replaced by Zhu Erdian, this time the Asian war broke out, New Delhi was destroyed miè 50,000 British colonial troops lost their weapons and fled, it is to be held responsible, the original British minister in China was pulled back to report on his work, Zhu Erdian, the Chinese expert, took on this task, and now Zhu Erdian is very unwilling to come, he is the emperor in Beijing, but he knows that he is the emperor sitting on the crater, and this volcano is the sickle hammer society in the south. You don't see that the cause of this war was that the Indian colonial officials ignored the volcano of the Sickle Hammer Society and launched an attack on Tibet, and as a result, many British high-ranking officials in India who were comfortable in Tibet dismounted one after another for the sake of that barren place.
Zhu Erdian faced Gao Yun and began to test his language, "This Tibetan conflict is really an unpleasant thing, although we are hostile sides, but I have to praise your army for being really good, but this war is going on like this, it's not good for both of us?" Gao Yun knew that the British didn't want to invest in Asia anymore. Blackmail is useless at this time, and the bottom line of the British is India. Now the British just don't want to consume, but for the sake of India the British will. Gao Yun said: "Your country is the world's largest power, this is recognized, and it is a very regrettable thing to have a war with your country. We have no intention of challenging the UK, but we have to do so for the sake of China's sovereignty and integrity. Zhu Erdian heard that there was a joke in this, and the bottom line given to him by Whitehall was to keep India, and the Sickle Society did not seem to have any intention of seizing India, and the two sides could talk. Soon the two sides reached a compromise on most of the area, and Zhu Erdian originally wanted to draw a buffer zone in Tibet in order to ensure India's security, but Gao Yun immediately turned his face. Let Zhu Erdian dispel this idea. Next up are the McMahon and Johansen lines. These two places are the bottom line, Gao Yun said: "If any explorer in the West can draw a line, then what do you want a cannon to do." Zhu Erdian was silent for a while, and finally proposed a compromise. The British withdrew from the McMahon Line, but the Sickle Society garrisoned no more than a thousand troops here. Gao Yun also agreed to this agreement, giving the British a security guarantee and letting this war end quickly. Moreover, the Sickle Hammer Society was not currently prepared to station many troops in southern Tibet, and this war only cut off the British idea of continuing to reach out to Tibet. A ceasefire agreement between Britain and the Sickle Society was signed on April 1, 19o5. History abbreviates as April Fool's Day Ceasefire Agreement. Since then, the Sino-British Plateau War, which lasted for two years, ended. After the end of the war, the British began to withdraw their forces from Asia, and France in Europe was about to lose its hold. It was necessary to hurry back to support it, and at this time Germany and France had succeeded in forcing them to agree to the terms of Moroccan independence. At this time, the British became tough, and Kaiser Wilhelm felt that he was stopped by the British fleet just halfway through the pressure on France, and at this time the German high seas fleet had not yet taken shape, and William had to endure it. At the same time, he kept being angry at why the Chinese didn't continue to make trouble in India.
Wilhelm also said two words, but his emphasis on China reached an unprecedented level, and Wilhelm now bordered Russia, France, and Britain on the map, and the countries that Germany was now going to challenge were threatened. This is simply a gift from heaven to Germany. The last bit of the emperor's concern about the export of industrial equipment to China also disappeared. The Kaiser now wishes for the Sickle Society's fist to be as heavy as possible. The Sickle Hammer Society proved the strength of its own power in this battle, the identity of a strong country is important in this world, this identity cannot be bought, as long as you have this identity, other powerful countries must pay the price to win you over.
Not only did the Germans see the threat of the Great 6th Army of the Sickle Society, but the French also began to feel uneasy about their Southeast Asian colonies. The two Entente powers began to impose supplementary treaties against the Sickle Society. The treaty stipulated that the two countries were obligated to attack and defend the alliance in the event that the continued southern expansion of the Sickle Society threatened their colonies. In the face of the two powerful countries joining forces, Cheng Pan would definitely feel honored if he knew.
As for the literati under the rule of the Qing Dynasty in the face of this result, they were numb, and the road to strengthening the country that their patriots dreamed of was actually this model, could it be that these gentlemen were stumbling blocks on the road to strengthening the country? The enlightened people of the Qing Dynasty were in turmoil, and the artillery fire in the northeast brought the hope of bourgeois revolution to these confused children just as the October Revolution brought the dawn to the Chinese revolution, and of course it was only hope.
