The outbreak of the "Chang Fulun Incident" caused a big storm to quietly brew in Qingdao.
The Japanese aggression, atrocities, and plunder in Qingdao have already accumulated endless anger in the hearts of Qingdao people. Even if there was no "Changfulun Incident", it would have erupted sooner or later.
And this incident was just a prompt.
On October 20, the day after the "Chang Fulun Incident" occurred, Qingdao Second Normal School was the first to take action.
On that day, all the teachers and students of the school went on strike and took to the streets to demonstrate, loudly calling for the punishment of the murderer. Japan apologized and immediately released the "Chang Fu Lun" and all detained crew members.
However, this demonstration was immediately attacked by the Japanese police. Many teachers and students were injured, and 37 students were arrested.
On that day, the Chinese government immediately lodged a serious protest, demanding that Japan immediately release the arrested students, launch an investigation into the "Chang Fulun Incident", and provide justice to those who died.
The Japanese Civil Affairs Minister in Qingdao, Akiyama Masanosuke, rejected this request and announced on the same day that the Japanese officials were shooting under legitimate circumstances. Once there is another unauthorized demonstration in Qingdao, we will suppress it at all costs!
This is tantamount to a challenge to all Chinese people!
A storm sweeping Qingdao is quietly going on...
On the 21st, the whole day was calm, which made Masanosuke Akiyama and Kenichi Oshima, the commander of the Japanese garrison in Qingdao, heave a long sigh of relief.
In their view, under Japan's high-pressure policy, the Chinese finally succumbed...
On October 22, the 9th year of the Republic of China, a storm suddenly broke out!
Eight schools in Qingdao jointly went on strike!
Teachers and students, under the bayonets of the Japanese, took to the streets without hesitation and launched a mighty protest march!
This parade was cheered by all the Chinese people in Qingdao!
The Japanese police violently dispersed the parade. The teachers and students, united with the people of Qingdao, fought the Japanese police tenaciously!
Some of them were injured, bleeding, and struggled to grab the weapons in the hands of the police... Some of them were knocked down, but they quickly stood up from the ground and continued to fight.
Standing together arm in arm...
No one can defeat them, and no one can defeat them!
When Chinese people unite together, they are an invincible force!
Teachers and students are not alone, the entire Chinese people in Qingdao stand with them!
On the 23rd, all seafarers and dock workers in Qingdao announced a strike! On the same day, all salt workers in Qingdao announced a strike! On the 24th, after emergency discussions, the Qingdao China Yarn Industry Joint Chamber of Commerce announced an indefinite strike! On the 25th, the Qingdao Textile Joint Chamber of Commerce announced a strike and a strike.
...
On the 26th, Qingdao Brewery announced a strike; Qingdao Mining Chamber of Commerce announced a general strike...
On the 27th, the strike reached its peak: Chinese workers from Toyota Oil Factory, Qingdao Water Company, Real Estate, Lianye Rubber Factory, Sifang Power Plant, Suzuki Silk Factory, and Qingdao Port Tower Crane Company jointly announced a general strike...
28. All workers, businessmen, teachers and students in Qingdao have entered into a vigorous strike, market strike, and school strike!
Turn Qingdao into a dead city!
The Japanese were panicked and in chaos!
They know that once suppressed, it will arouse even greater anger across Qingdao, which will inevitably give the Chinese government an opportunity to take advantage of it!
But the current situation left them helpless.
The Japanese were also temporarily plunged into chaos...
At this time, Wang Hengyue, the President of the Republic of China, was preparing to inspect Shanghai as the first stop. When he heard the news, the first thing he said was:
"It's begun! The show is finally on!"
"According to the current situation, when the President arrives in Shanghai, the movement in Qingdao will reach **. When the President arrives in Ningbo, the Japanese will take retaliatory actions!"
"Tell Duan Qirui and Cao Kun that they are ready to take action at the same time. Also, purchase a large amount of food and prepare to support the striking workers. They have to eat. They cannot let their whole family go hungry to participate in the strike." Wang Hengyue tidied his clothes.
.
Once a general strike, market strike, or school strike begins, there is absolutely no possibility of stopping until the goal is achieved.
But before that, I will be silent.
It was a terrible silence before an explosion...
...
Vladivostok.
Yang Sen looked in the mirror and took a look at his straight military uniform: "Has Qingdao begun to move?"
"Yes, it's starting to move!"
"Since the end of the Northern Expedition, our army was reorganized into the Fourth Army, and there has been nothing to do. The expedition to Russia involved Liu Zhaocheng, Wu Peifu, and Zhang Zuolin. I thought Commander Heng had forgotten me, Yang Sen. Unexpectedly, Commander Heng actually took the reconquest
The glorious mission of Vladivostok and Jiangdong No. 64 was entrusted to me!"
Yang Jie smiled: "Zi Hui, don't be too proud. In Vladivostok, there are Russian troops, Japanese and British troops. It's not easy to fight this battle. According to our plan, from Vladivostok to the entire
Jiangdong Sixty-Four Tun, Vladivostok will be the focus of the focus!"
"Commander Heng will not give me an easy battle, but he will use me in a difficult battle!" Yang Sen seemed unconcerned: "If we haven't established meritorious deeds at this time, then when will we wait? Do we have to wait until all the Russians are defeated?
Yet?"
Yang Jie smiled.
In fact, to be honest, he was equally excited in his heart.
Secretly deploying the Fourth Army, and then suddenly announcing an operation to regain the territory in a high-profile manner, the entire plan was completed in one go, without any sloppiness. This is completely consistent with Heng Shuai's character.
The honor of regaining the country falls on himself and Yang Sen!
Now, we are just waiting for when Duan Qirui and Cao Kun from Shandong will take action...
...
The protests in Qingdao entered a new stage on October 30!
Almost all Chinese people in Qingdao were involved. Not a single machine in the factory was running, not a single store was open in the market, not a single student in the school was in class, and not a single worker was working on the dock...
There was a power outage, water outage, a large backlog of orders, and the goods on the ship could only pile up there...
On November 1, the China Chamber of Commerce announced:
In view of the current special situation in Qingdao, all Chinese manufacturers in Qingdao have signed contracts with domestic enterprises, all of which have been extended indefinitely, and no losses will be pursued!
In major cities in China, large-scale support for Qingdao was also launched at the same time!
Donation campaigns were launched on the streets of major cities to support the people of Qingdao in their resistance to Japanese atrocities. They also marched, petitioned, and called on the government to intervene immediately.
But what is strange is that President Wang Hengyue, who has always been rebellious, conducted a nationwide inspection at this time and handed over this task to his Prime Minister Wang Qinglu.
Wang Qinglu summoned the Japanese minister to China several times, protested one after another, and warned Japan that the situation in Qingdao must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise Japan will bear all the consequences.
At the same time, a serious warning was issued. Once Japan uses force to suppress it, it may force the Chinese government to send troops to Qingdao to do something that no one wants to see in order to safeguard the interests of the Chinese people in Qingdao!
In fact, the current situation is what Japan least wants to see!
A large amount of goods are backlogged in Qingdao, and all Japanese manufacturers have stopped production. Japanese businesses are suffering huge losses every day!
Japan has opened 299 corporate stores along the Qingdao and Jiaoji railways, 36 of which are above 500,000 yuan. At this time, there are less than 30 Chinese industrial and commercial enterprises here, and only 2 are above 500,000 yuan!
In contrast, one can imagine who would rather not want a general strike!
The Japanese government and Japanese businessmen in Qingdao continued to put pressure on Masanosuke Akiyama, the Japanese civil affairs chief in Qingdao, demanding that he must solve the problem immediately in the shortest possible time.
At the same time, the Japanese government also began to put pressure on the Chinese government:
In order to maintain and stabilize the situation in Qingdao, the Chinese government has the responsibility and obligation to assist in solving the Qingdao issue. If the Chinese Communist Party troops enter Qingdao with force, it will very likely trigger a Sino-Japanese war!
Prime Minister Wang Qinglu responded quickly:
Qingdao has always been China's land! On September 2, 1914, the Japanese army landed at Longkou and occupied Qingdao, which lasted more than two months, bringing serious disasters to the urban and rural people of Qingdao. On September 27, the then Beiyang Government
Because the Japanese army invaded China and occupied railways, they protested to Japan, but Japan ignored them. The Japanese army burned, killed, and looted everywhere. In Pingdu alone, they forced the local people to hand over 1,000 pigs and sheep, 5 million kilograms of grain, and 2,000 chickens within 5 days.
, 500 trolleys. A punishment order was also announced: Anyone who obstructs all the actions of the Japanese army will be killed. Anyone who cuts off the wires and causes damage will be executed. Anyone who knows the crime and harbors bandits will be punished severely. If one person in the village commits an offence, everyone in the village will be punished.
Beheading. The Japanese troops who were far away from Qingdao demolished a large number of civilian houses, built fortifications, forced a large number of Chinese people to dig trenches, set up power grids, and implemented light blackouts. This was a blatant trampling on China's sovereignty and a blatant violation of China's land.
The occupation!
Representatives of the Chinese government did not sign the Treaty of Versailles and refused to recognize Japan's occupation of Qingdao! Therefore, the Chinese Communist Party has the right to enter any Chinese land it wants to enter without being restricted by any country!
The Chinese government has the right to make its own judgments and solutions to matters on Chinese soil and safeguard the interests of the Chinese people. It is also not subject to restrictions by any country!
If Japan threatens the Chinese government with violence, the Chinese government will not bear any form of responsibility for any consequences caused by this!
Wang Qinglu’s declaration has clearly stated the attitude of the Chinese government:
In order to safeguard sovereignty, the Chinese government will not be intimidated by any country or force and will not back down!
Although, until now, President Wang Hengyue has still said nothing about the Qingdao issue!
