On June 22, Peking University students suddenly telegraphed the whole country and announced that they would restore the name of Peking University on their own. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The education circles in the north and south were inexplicably surprised, but the government officials were surprisingly silent and did not stand up to denounce this disregard for the government.

On June 23, Li Shizeng went south and passed through Tianjin, and stopped by Sanle Hall to visit Zhou Hexuan. The old gentleman had a haggard face, his eyes were bloodshot, and his whole person was in a very depressed state.

Zhou Hexuan personally poured tea for him and asked, "Mr. Shi Zeng is going back to Nanjing?" ”

"Well," Li Shizeng nodded, and said, "Go to Nanjing to ask for funds for the establishment of the Beiping Research Institute." ”

Li Shi once never mentioned the Beiping University District and the National Ninth School, obviously admitting that his education reform had completely failed, and his future energy is estimated to be put on the Beiping Research Institute.

No matter how many mistakes Li Shi has made in the process of education reform, his personality is still worthy of admiration.

Without Li Shizeng, Cai Yuanpei and others actively promoting the work-study movement in France, China would have lost a large number of high-achieving students studying in France, including several founding greats of our party. Without Li Shizeng's establishment of the Peiping Research Institute and his active planning for the establishment of the Atomic Research Institute through his connections in the French educational circles, it might have been even more difficult for New China to manufacture atomic bombs.

Li Shizeng came to find Zhou Hexuan this time, also for official business, he asked: "I may have to go to France at the end of the year, I don't know if Mingcheng is willing to go along?" ”

"What are you going to do in France?" Zhou Hexuan asked.

Li Shi once said: "I still have some contacts at the Institut Pasteur in France, and I plan to contact each other for academic cooperation. The Institut Pasteur is very successful in the field of biology and will be of great help to our upcoming Institute of Biology. As for the Institute of History, you need the help of Ming Cheng, you have a huge influence in the French historical community. I hope to convince one or two French academic structures of history, or some authoritative experts in history, to cooperate and exchange. ”

The Institut Pasteur is very awesome, pioneering microbial physiology, discovering rabies vaccines, inventing the "pasteurization method", and making outstanding contributions to the treatment of plague and yellow fever. By the time Zhou Hexuan crossed over, eight scientists from this research institute had won the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

General de Gaulle once said: "There are three things that must not be touched in France: the Académie de France, the Institut Pasteur and the Eiffel Tower." ”

In later generations, the Chinese Academy of Sciences was able to rank among the world's top level in the field of biological research, which was the foundation laid by the cooperation between the Peking Research Institute and the Pasteur Institute.

Strictly speaking, Li Shizeng's active campaign has a huge impact on the future of China's academic circles, but few people know about it.

Zhou Hexuan thought carefully: "I will go to the United States in August, and I will not leave until at least November. Then we will cross the Atlantic directly to Europe, and we will meet in France. ”

"Then please leave this matter to Ming Cheng and leave!" Li Shizeng got up and shook hands with Zhou Hexuan.

Zhou Hexuan asked, "Mr. Shi Zeng is leaving?" ”

Li Shizeng smiled bitterly: "For the ferry ticket at 12 noon, I still have to rush to Nanjing to ask for money." ”

"I'll send you a car." Zhou Hexuan said with emotion.

Li Shi really wanted to do things, but unfortunately there were too many constraints, and the biggest problem was that he couldn't get money.

Cai Yuanpei was much more sleek and interesting, and hugged Chang Kaishen's thigh. The two prepared to build a research institute together, but Cai Yuanpei's Central Research Institute had been completed, but Li Shizeng's Beiping Research Institute did not even have funds.

Zhou Hexuan personally sent Li Shizeng to the dock, and then shook his head and returned with a sigh.

The situation in Peiping is too complicated, and all the factional forces in the country are fighting each other. With Li Shizeng's naïve temperament, he plunged headlong into the big sauce vat of Beiping, and the difficulty of success can be imagined, and it is extremely rare to be able to run the Beiping Research Institute well.

Zhou Hexuan saw off Li Shizeng at the dock, and sent Zhu Xiang away the next day, this angry young man finally went to study in the United States, and he didn't know if he could successfully complete his studies.

The situation between the north and the south is also deteriorating, with Feng Yuxiang and Chang Kaishen already at war last month.

Feng Yuxiang appointed himself commander-in-chief of the National Salvation Army of the Northwest Road Rights Party, and called on warlords from all over the country to oppose Chiang. However, no one paid attention to him at all, and even his own subordinates Han Fuyu and Shi Yousan jumped back and openly raised the banner to support the Central Committee (Chang Kaishen).

This is exactly the same as the previous battle of Jiang Gui, as soon as the two sides started the war, Chang Kaishen bought the enemy general to fight back.

Feng Yuxiang can also be regarded as self-inflicted, the Northwest Army was developed on the basis of a regiment, and all the generals were Feng Yuxiang's old subordinates. He governs the army with a strong paternalistic style, and his subordinates have all become provincial chairmen and provincial overseers, and Feng Yuxiang often scolds in public, just like teaching his son and grandson.

Sometimes Feng Yuxiang's temper comes, and he even slaps him in the face, who can bear it?

In addition, the Northwest Army is very poor, and many times it cannot afford to pay military salaries. Chang Kaishen's silver ticket was handed over, and naturally there would be people who were willing to be bought, but Feng Yuxiang still thought that all his generals were loyal to him.

After Han Fuyu and Shi Yousan came to the battle against the water, Feng Yuxiang was immediately stunned, knowing that he couldn't do Chang Kaishen on his own. He sent several telegrams to Yan Xishan and Zhang Xueliang in succession, but they did not get a definite reply.

In desperation, Feng Yuxiang had to go to Shanxi in person to discuss the anti-Jiang matter with Yan Xishan, and was willing to serve Yan Xishan as the "leading brother".

Yan Xishan was still thinking about doing business at this time, entertaining Feng Yuxiang with good wine and food, but in fact he was under house arrest in disguise. He actually used this as a bargaining chip to start negotiations with Chang Kaishen in a vain attempt to resolve the war peacefully and reap the benefits from it.

As soon as Chang Kaishen saw that Feng Yuxiang was controlled, he immediately went to Beiping in person, and sent Wu Zhihui, Zhao Daiwen, and Kong Xiangxi to Taiyuan with a handwritten letter, inviting Yan Xishan to come to Beiping to discuss the aftermath of the Northwest Army.

On the seventh day after Li Shizeng left Tianjin, Chang Kaishen and Yan Xishan had a formal meeting in Beiping.

After bargaining, Chang Kaishen appointed Yan Xishan as deputy commander-in-chief of the navy, army and air force, which was equivalent to China's second position at this time. Yan Xishan was complacent about this, felt that he had taken a big advantage, and patted his chest and promised to solve the problem of the Northwest Army.

Yan Xishan not only sold Feng Yuxiang, but also didn't want to lose his reputation, and declared to the outside world that it was for the peace of the country, not for betraying friends for glory. He also telegraphed the whole country, hoping that Feng Yuxiang would understand and not blame him for this incident.

When Feng Yuxiang saw the telegram, he was probably so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

Yan Xishan did a full set of dramas, in order to show that he was dedicated to the public. He resigned due to illness, and convened a meeting of his subordinates, saying that he would go abroad with Feng Yuxiang to study abroad, and said with great embarrassment: "It has been difficult since ancient times to sacrifice the previous agreement." However, it is beneficial to the country, there is no breach of trust, the mountain is not rigid, and there is no need to fight for this subsection. ”

How nice it is to say, I am for the sake of the country, so I don't stick to small things and do treacherous things.

Although Feng Yuxiang was under house arrest, in order not to completely anger the generals of the Northwest Army, Yan Xishan allowed him to send telegrams to the outside world.

Feng Yuxiang is also a thousand-year-old fox, he quietly eats and drinks well, but secretly ordered his subordinates to take refuge in Chang Kaishen, saying that the Northwest Army is willing to accept the reorganization of the central government, and by the way, he also asked Chang Kaishen for a large amount of military salary.

Chang Kaishen saw that the Northwest Army was weak, and thought that the plans for breaking through had been realized, so he decided to convene a second deployment meeting and aimed the spearhead at Yan Xishan, who had just returned the brothers.

Yan Xishan capsized in the ditch, feeling that the deal was a big loss, so he turned his head to join Feng Yuxiang. Feng Yuxiang had this intention, and the two hit it off, and finally gave up their previous suspicions and cooperated against Jiang.

Now it's Chang Kaishen's turn to have a headache, if he sees it and accepts it, he can successfully solve the Northwest Army, but now he can't do it without fighting.

These gang of military leaders are all bad and have never considered the interests of the country.
