Chapter 404: The Bloody China of the 6.20 Declaration
On June 3, 1919, at the beginning of the Northern Expedition, another incident broke out in Beijing, and nearly a thousand students were arrested.
On the 3rd, 17 students were arrested for giving speeches on the streets in Beijing. On the 4th, another 70 were arrested.
More than 0 people.
From June 3 to 7, strikes, market strikes, and class strikes occurred in Shanghai, Tianjin, Nanjing and other places to support the patriotic student movement, protest the "June 3rd" incident, and demand the release of students and the removal of Cao and Zhang.
land.
From June 9th to 19th, various places vigorously suppressed students.
On June 20, the President of the Southern National Government issued the "620 Declaration"
On that day, all the people of Guangzhou and representatives of northern students who came to Guangzhou gathered outside the Presidential Palace, waiting for President Wang Hengyue to issue a national proclamation.
Microphones and tweeters are already in place.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Wang Hengyue, the President of the Southern National Government, appeared on the podium on the second floor of the Presidential Palace.
Today's Wang Hengyue, wearing a neat uniform of the Grand Marshal of the Army, Navy and Air Force, looks majestic. Looking at the dark crowd below, Wang Hengyue took a step forward, and then said in a low voice: "From June 9th to 19th, warlords from all over the country have suppressed
〗Suppression of patriotic students, a large number of students were injured and captured, what are the crimes of the patriotic students, and what are the crimes of the patriotic people!
The country is in crisis, the Japanese are eyeing Shandong, and our representatives at the Paris Peace Conference are retreating steadily. Except for Gu Weijun, there is no diplomat who is willing to fight to the death for the interests of China! What a pain, what a shame! Students Yu worked hard for the interests of the country and the nation.
Fight to the death: businessmen fight to the death for the interests of the country and the nation: workers fight to the death for the interests of the country and the nation: citizens fight to the death for the interests of the country and the nation. However, the Beiyang government is indifferent and not only fails to safeguard the interests of the country and the nation
, on the contrary, for the benefit of the Japanese and for their own interests, they wantonly arrested and suppressed students and citizens. What kind of government is this?
I am angry, I am extremely angry, I am completely angry. At this moment, I want to erupt like an active volcano. Those who signed the traitorous agreement are not even as good as the rulers of the imperial era.
They [suppress] all patriotic forces at home, but they behave like clowns in front of foreigners. They betray their country and seek glory, sacrificing the interests of our country's workers and various resources of [China] in exchange for being unpopular.
The benefits of
Angry!
Now is the time for the broad masses of patriots, people with lofty ideals, and all citizens to start working hard to defend the sovereignty of the country and the dignity of the nation. It is now time to mobilize the people across the country to start awakening, and it is time to fight against all enemies who try to betray the national interests.
A full-scale public confrontation took place.
A group of clowns lead the huge "China", a group of vested interests are harming the country, a group of corrupt officials who do not seek the welfare of the people control the state power, and destroy the justice of the humble and poor working people across the country!
"China" needs a "revolution", a massive bottom-up, decisive and resolute "revolution", so that "China" can truly become strong and prosperous.
I think this [revolution] will come sooner or later. It just needs a certain amount of time to prepare. It needs someone or some people to take the lead and guidance. It needs the support and support of the broad masses of the people. It needs the strong support and promotion of all citizens. It needs
All forces that can be united unite to resist the incompetent government.
We must unite, we must unite as soon as possible, we must break out a powerful crusade and national self-strengthening movement in China! We must completely cleanse the soul of the Chinese nation, those who
The rulers run counter to the truth and want to kill them all, leaving no trace behind.
Turn into ashes!
I once again advise all people across the country to unite and resist together! I also advise all people with lofty ideals across the country that you are the great promoters of the Chinese Revolutionary Movement, so you should go all out to fight for
The struggle!
[Revolution] The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!
At the same time, we must unite to fight against the traitors, their lackeys, and even their lackeys. They will all become cannon fodder for the revolution!
But we must never give up our love for the Chinese nation. We love our country.
People across the country should believe that there is still hope for the Chinese nation, that the Chinese nation will surely become stronger again, and that the Chinese nation will surely regain its dignity and pride!
Work hard! Fight!
The vast number of citizens who are depressed, silent, helpless, and suffering, let us unite together for our new country, for our new home, and let us form a powerful force.
Fight for a new Chinese nation that pursues truth, justice, beauty, freedom, prosperity, and strength!
Long live the Chinese nation!" When Wang Hengyue said the last word, the scene was silent.
Then, a burst of rhythmic applause sounded, and then more and more rhythmic applause joined the ranks.
There was no cheering, no applause, just rhythmic applause.
"Long live the Chinese nation!"
Someone shouted first.
"Long live the Chinese nation!" the whole audience echoed.
The whole scene was boiling and fell into the most fanatical boiling.
"Long live the Chinese nation! Long live the president!"
"Long live the President! Long live the Chinese nation!"
That is the most fanatical people, that is the most fanatical voice.
Wang Yuyue stood there calmly, accepting everyone's cheers calmly. He knew that the people's emotions had been completely ignited at this moment, and he had reached a new peak in his life!
The "620 Declaration" means a complete break between Wang Hengyue and the Beiyang side. It means that there will never be any peace talks between the North and the South. It means that there will be no possibility of stopping the armed reunification of the National Revolutionary Army. It means that Wang Hengyue's firm determination
Stand with the patriotic students and people across the country!
The whole country is excited about it, and the people across the country are excited about it!
Let President Wang Hengyue unify this country, let President Wang Hengyue govern this country! Only in this way can the Chinese nation become strong again!
The eyes of the whole world are focused on Guangzhou and the great president named Wang Hengyue.
He has become the idol of most people in China, and he has become the hope of most people in China!
Western reporters with keen eyes also paid special attention to a diplomat from the Beiyang government specifically mentioned in Wang Hengyue's "620 Declaration" and the only diplomat who was praised by Wang Hengyue: Gu Weijun!
In fact, although Wang Hengyue violently criticized the Beiyang government, he also admitted in his heart that all the characters in the Republic of China were bloody, and their ups and downs in life were often full of drama. Gu Weijun always insisted on his own in the whirlpool of political power struggle.
Gu Weijun's true nature, which is to safeguard national interests as his own responsibility, was concentrated in his righteous and sonorous defense of Shandong's rights and interests at the Paris Peace Conference.
When people were hiding one after another, he had the courage to do his job and stood out, which is called bloody nature!
The Beijing government appointed a total of 5 people who went to Paris to represent China in its struggle with the great powers. They were Director-General of Foreign Affairs Lu Zhengxiang, Representative of the Southern Government Wang Zhengting, and Minister to the United Kingdom Shi Zhaoji.
Wei Chen, the minister to Belgium, and Gu Weijun, the minister to the United States. Gu Weijun was actually ranked second among the representatives by the Beijing government. Because he had just been widowed, Gu Weijun was unwilling to serve as a representative, but his strong sense of mission made him take national affairs as his own responsibility.
This is a manifestation of his bloody nature.
The United States, Britain, France, Japan, and China discussed the Shandong issue in Paris. The Japanese representative, Mr. Makino, demanded the unconditional inheritance of Germany's interests in Shandong.
Gu Weijun listened coldly to Makino's gangster logic. After he finished speaking, he made a famous speech. His proficient English echoed in the Palace of Versailles: "Today, I am grateful for the opportunity to stand here and express to the world
We are sincerely happy about China's position. We came to the peace conference with such expectations and hopes. We are working hard to realize our long-awaited dream. However, this is by no means an illusory dream, because it is a real dream.
〗Real. It is a piece of 〖Chinese〗 territory with yellow soil, and a river that nurtures the ancient 〖Chinese〗 culture nurtures its growth. On this land, the world-famous Confucius and Mencius were born.
It has had a great impact not only on China but also on the civilization of the world. In the hearts of Chinese people, it is a sacred place and the cradle of Chinese civilization. Its name is Shandong!
As we all know, this leased land was captured by Germany by force. In view of the principles of national self-determination and territorial integrity accepted by the Peace Conference, the [Chinese] government requested that the Peace Conference return the German leased land, railways and all other rights in Shandong before the war.
[China]! If the peace treaty transfers these territories to any other country, this will undoubtedly be a great insult to the people of [China]!" Then, he faced Makino and asked: "A saint has appeared in the West, and he is called Jesus.
Christianity believes that Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem, making Jerusalem a world-famous ancient city. There was also a saint in the East, his name was Confucius, and even Japan himself regarded him as the saint of the East.
Mr. Makino, are you right?"
Makino panicked and replied: "Yes." He didn't know what Gu Weijun was going to say next.
"Then I would like to ask Baron Makino, you [Japan] stole a Shandong Province in front of the whole world. Should the 36 million people of Shandong Province be angry? The 400 million [Chinese] people should be angry.
You shouldn’t be angry! May I ask if Japan’s behavior is considered theft? Is it extremely shameless? Is it extremely shameless!?”
Gu Weijun continued: "Since Mr. Makino also admits that Confucius is a saint in the East, then Confucius in the East is like Jesus in the West, and Shandong, the birthplace of Confucius, is a holy place in the East just like Jerusalem. Therefore, [China] cannot
Losing Shandong is just like the West cannot lose Jerusalem! Shandong will always belong to China. She is like a mother's child and will never be given to anyone!" "China cannot lose Shandong, just as the West cannot lose it.
It’s like losing Jerusalem!”
This is the declaration of the bloody [China] country!!.
