"Zhang Zongxiang's injuries are very serious?" Yang Shuoming thought for a while and asked.

"Minister Zhang suffered more than 50 injuries all over his body, and he was hit several times on the head, but fortunately, he was rescued by Japanese journalist Nakae Chouyoshi and sent to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, and he is not out of danger at present." Long Yonghua said, "When Minister Zhang heard that the student who caused the accident had been arrested, he also entrusted his wife to submit a bail on his behalf. ”

"He, Zhang Zongxiang, is quite graceful in this matter." Fu Hongru was surprised when he heard that Zhang Zongxiang was seriously injured and wanted to bail the students, but he couldn't help but secretly admire.

"That Japanese reporter Nakae Chouyoshi, in order to protect Minister Zhang, was also injured, but fortunately, it was all flesh wounds, not serious." Long Yonghua said.

"What is the origin of this Japanese man? Why is it at Chief Cao's house? Yang Shuoming asked.

"This Zhongjiang Chouji is the son of the Japanese philosopher Jiang Zhaomin, when Cao Rulin studied in Japan, he lived in Zhongjiang Zhaomin's house, and was very taken care of by Zhongjiang Zhaomin's widow, and became close friends with Zhongjiang Chouji." Long Yonghua replied, "It should be normal for him to appear in the Cao family. ”

"This Zhongjiang Chouji is different from other Japanese, he likes our Chinese culture very much, and has always advocated friendship with China and opposes the Japanese government's China policy," Chen Qiansheng smiled bitterly and said on the side, "It can be regarded as a pro-China faction in Japan." ”

"I see." Yang Shuoming nodded, "Then how did the students come up with the idea of going to Cao Mansion to set fires?" ”

"It is said that after the march to the embassy area was blocked by foreign troops, the crowd was so excited that there was nowhere to vent, and some of them proposed to go to Zhao's house to protest, and the procession was rerouted, until the house was burned and beaten." Long Yonghua, who is also a student, also seems to be dissatisfied with the students' actions, "It can also be said that it was an accident." ”

"There's definitely something strange about that." Yang Shuoming frowned, shook his head, and said softly, "It's not an accident. ”

Hearing that Yang Shuoming had come to such a conclusion, everyone present was taken aback.

Long Yonghua looked at Yang Shuoming a little nervously, and his heart hung up involuntarily.

As the earliest acquaintance with Yang Shuoming, he has always had an indescribable reverence for this young man of his age who saved his life and led him to a different path in life.

Today's Yang Shuoming has become a warlord on the side of Megatron, and the awe-inspiring power that unconsciously reveals between words often makes Long Yonghua feel inexplicably afraid.

At this time, the conference hall was silent, except for the slightly heavy breathing of people.

"Is there any news about the 'Far Eastern Republic' that the Russians have built?" Yang Shuoming asked.

Listening to Yang Shuoming's words, which were completely inconsistent with the content of the incident about the burning of Zhao's house in Beijing just now, the people in the house were stunned again.

The "Far Eastern Republic" is a republic recently declared by Soviet Russia in the Far East and the West Baikal region, which is nominally independent but in fact completely controlled by Soviet Russia.

The participants didn't expect that Yang Shuoming's thinking could suddenly jump to this so-called "Far Eastern Republic", and he didn't turn his mind for a while, and Long Yonghua was the same, after he reacted, he immediately replied: "Not yet." ”

"The war in Europe is over, we can pull out our hands and solve this problem properly." Yang Shuoming suddenly let out a gloomy sneer that seemed to come from the depths of hell, causing everyone in the conference hall to shudder.

"What does Hanzhi mean by this, that you decided to go north?" Hearing Yang Shuoming's words, Chen Qiansheng immediately understood what he was going to do, and couldn't help but say a little anxiously, "The career here has just begun, don't you ......?"

Just a few days ago, Yang Shuoming received a telegram from the Beijing government ordering him to be transferred to the post of military affairs supervisor of the three eastern provinces.

In this telegram, the Beijing government highly affirmed his achievements in quickly quelling the rebellion in the south and developing the economy of the Liangguang, Yunnan, and Guizhou regions, and gave him the honorary title of "General Shengwei," and then asked him to go north to take up the post of military affairs supervisor of the three eastern provinces, responsible for the formation of the "frontier troops of the three eastern provinces" (that is, the Siberian intervention army that the Entente required China to form), and the post of envoy of the two provinces was abolished.

Regarding this telegram, Xu Yuanjin, Tang Jing, Chen Jiongming, Cheng Biguang, Gu Pinzhen, Fu Hongru and other generals all expressed their opposition, believing that this was Duan Qirui's conspiracy and must not be obeyed. But Yang Shuoming did not make it clear that he wanted to refuse and obey. ,

"The foundation has been laid, and with all of you here, I have nothing to worry about." Yang Shuoming understood what Chen Qiansheng meant, smiled faintly, and said.

"I think you should discuss it with everyone." Fu Hongru looked at Yang Shuoming, and his expression became solemn, "It won't take too long to send a telegram to Lao Xu, Shocking, Jingcun, Hengqi and General Gu." ”

"No need." Yang Shuoming shook his head and said, "Just tell them when the time comes." ”

"I don't understand why Hanzhi is in such a hurry to go back to Beijing." Fu Hongru changed his calm and elegant attitude when he met Yang Shuoming in Tianyun Mountain, and said a little anxiously, "What's the matter?" Are you going to give up your roots? ”

"I didn't say I was going to give up." Yang Shuoming saw that everyone was a little anxious, smiled, and said, "I just don't want those countries with ill intentions to take advantage of it." ”

"Hanyuki is talking about Japan and Soviet Russia?" Chen Qiansheng asked.

Yang Shuoming looked at this scholar who was bewitched by Soviet Russia and became a famous leader in the early days of the Chinese Bu Party in the original historical time and space, and nodded.

"Japan, I'm not too worried about it now, because the navy is enough to deal with them." Yang Shuoming said, "What I am worried about is the infiltration and sabotage of our country by Soviet Russia. ”

"Soviet Russia has not been established for a long time, and it is still difficult to protect itself, but I am afraid that it may not have the spare strength to invade our country." Chen Qiansheng said disapprerovingly, "What's more, they still want to make friends with our country, and last year their leader Lenin also issued a manifesto, saying that they would abolish all unequal treaties between Tsarist Russia and our country, and return all the land occupied by Tsarist Russia to our country. ”

"They made such a declaration at that time in order to get out of isolation and have time to consolidate internally. Compared with the original Tsarist Russia, Soviet Russia was more ferocious and cunning, and its ambitions for our country would not change because of any doctrine. Yang Shuoming understood that Chen Qiansheng, as a scholar who had studied social favoritism, had a good impression of those seductive mouths in Soviet Russia that was not easy to eliminate for a while, and even said a rough sentence, "The children are dead, and you are coming to milk, who are you fooling?" ”

"Don't forget, at that time, General Xiao Xu had already recovered Outer Mongolia and Tangnu Wulianghai, and the Western powers also promised to cancel the unequal treaties after the war, they were just sending an empty favor, and it should not be true." Fu Hongru also sneered and said.

"What's more, what happened in the capital this time is also related to them. Because a chaotic China is not only good for Japan, but also good for Russia. Yang Shuoming continued, "Leninism, in essence, is aimed at aggression, and since it pursues 'using violence to **** all existing social systems', then all the talk about peace and democracy is only an expedient measure when the strength is insufficient, and it is a strategy, and when the time is ripe, it can be discarded." ”

Hearing Yang Shuoming's later words, Chen Qiansheng understood a little, and nodded involuntarily.

Although Yang Shuoming's academic research in this area is not as good as Chen Qiansheng, he is a "person from the past" after all, and he knows much more about the disasters brought to the world by communalism in later generations and the evils of the Soviet Empire's export to the outside world.

"Hanzhi has a point. It would be terrible if they were behind the scenes to instigate the students to use violence against the government. Chen Qiansheng said.

"If the students are really instructed by them, then their Beiyang Department will be in big trouble." Fu Hongru said in a deep voice.

Although Fu Hongru was born in the green forest, as Tang Jing's former military advisor, he knew much more clearly than scholars like Chen Qiansheng about the serious consequences that similar conspiracies might cause.

"Yes, I'm afraid they'll make bigger moves, so I'm going back to the capital, even to prevent the country from falling into anarchy." Yang Shuoming smiled faintly and said, "Besides, my wife and children are still in Beijing." I don't want to see anything happen to them. ”

"What does Hanzhi mean, does it mean that they are likely to continue to encourage the students and lead to even greater trouble?"

When Yang Shuoming's words came to this, Chen Qiansheng also completely woke up, and couldn't help but say with anxiety.

"It's a definite thing." Yang Shuoming nodded, "Once Soviet Russia fully intervenes in China's internal affairs, the Chinese people are provoked by the so-called 'ism', drowned in internal strife and unable to extricate themselves, and hatred and cruelty are increasing day by day. ”,

Hearing Yang Shuoming's words, Chen Qiansheng and Fu Hongru couldn't help but shudder.

"It's better for you to go back." At this time, Fu Hongru had been completely persuaded by Yang Shuoming, and he also understood why Yang Shuoming would decide to return to Beijing so firmly, "Moreover, for Hanzhi, this student tide is also a rare opportunity." ”

"What rare opportunity?" Fu Hong

At the end of the meeting, when Fu Hongru returned to his residence, it was already dark.

As soon as Fu Hongru sat down on the chair, a voice like a silver bell came out of the inner room.

"He's going to be too long, isn't he?" There was obvious dissatisfaction in his voice.

"Ninth sister?" Fu Hongru heard the other party's voice and immediately stood up, and at this time, the door curtain flashed, and Tang Jiumei, who was dressed in a pretty Han costume, jumped out.

"What did he say today? Uncle Fu? Are you going back to the capital? Tang Jiumei turned around Fu Hongru's side with dexterous steps, as if she had returned to the Tianyun Mountain Cottage.

"You guessed it, what a smart doll." Fu Hongru looked at Tang Jiumei with some surprise and said, "That's right, maybe I'm going to leave in the next few days." ”

Ninth Sister's gaze suddenly dimmed for some reason.

Fu Hongru noticed the strangeness of Tang Jiumei's expression, he seemed to understand something, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

"His return to Beijing this time is different from the last time, and he needs to be escorted by a personal person. If the ninth sister is willing, I think it would be better for the ninth sister to protect him, after all, they are all people who came out of the old nest. ”

"Okay." Tang Jiumei nodded a little shyly and replied softly. Although she tried hard to suppress her joyful appearance, she still let Fu Hongru see it.

For the daughter of this old master, he has always regarded it as his own daughter.

"Little slippery head, nothing else, go to sleep. It's getting late. Fu Hongru said with a smile.

"Well, thank you, Uncle Fu." Tang Jiumei happily ran away.

Seeing Tang Jiumei's figure disappear at the door, Fu Hongru sat down at the table again, he thought about it, took out his pen and ink, and began to write a letter.

September 27, 1920, Beijing, Juren Hall, the Great Presidential Palace of the Republic of China.

At this time, the military and political dignitaries of the Chinese government were listening to an official read in Chinese the "Note from the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China":

"More than a year ago, on July 25, 1919, the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation issued a declaration to the Chinese people and the governments of the north and south of China, stating that the Russian Government would abrogate all the tsarist treaties it had previously concluded with China and return to the Chinese people all that the Chinese Tsarist government and the Russian bourgeoisie had seized and possessed by force, and at the same time suggest that the Chinese Government should enter into formal negotiations with our country in order to establish friendly relations."

"Now we have been informed that the Chinese Government has received this declaration and that all different strata and groups of the Chinese people have expressed their sincere hope that the Chinese Government will negotiate with our country to establish friendly relations between China and Russia."

"We ask the Chinese government to send a military-diplomatic delegation to Moscow, and we will welcome the Chinese delegation to Moscow with great joy. We hope to obtain mutual understanding of the common interests of China and Russia through direct negotiations with your representatives. We believe that for the common happiness of the two peoples, there are no insoluble problems between Russia and the Chinese people. We know that the enemies of Russia and the Chinese people are doing their utmost to hinder the friendship and proximity of our two countries, and they understand that the friendship and mutual assistance of our two nations will make China so strong that no foreigner can enslave and plunder China and the Chinese people as they do now. ”

"Regrettably, there are certain obstacles to the speedy establishment of friendly relations between Russia and China. My Government hopes that your country will be convinced of our sincerity and friendship towards China, but we have not yet received the necessary instructions to set about fixing the friendship between the two peoples. ”

"The People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union regrets that the slowdown in the approach between the two countries has prevented the realization of important political and trade interests of both sides. In order to help and accelerate the establishment of friendship between the peoples of the two countries, we hereby declare: We resolutely abide by the principles enunciated in the declaration of the Soviet Government of Russia of July 25, 1919, and conclude an agreement of friendship between China and Russia on the basis of these principles. ”

"In order to develop the principles of the previous declaration, the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs considers it necessary to present to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China the following points of agreement in the interests of both countries:"

"1. The Government of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic declares that all treaties concluded between the previous governments and China shall be null and void, that all territories previously seized of China and all Russian concessions in China shall be renounced, and that everything that the Tsarist Government and the Russian bourgeoisie have taken from China shall be returned to China permanently and without compensation." ,

"2. The Governments of the two countries shall take all necessary measures to establish without delay regular trade and economic exchanges. Subsequently, the two parties will conclude separate treaties in this regard in accordance with the principle of most-favoured-nation. ”

"3. The Government of the Republic of China undertakes the following obligations: (1) not to give any support to Russian anti-** individuals, groups or organizations, and not to allow them to operate in China. (2) To disarm the armed forces and organizations remaining in China at the time of the signing of this treaty against Soviet Russia and its allies, detain them, and extradite them to the Russian government, and to transfer all their arms, materiel, and property to the Russian government. (3) The Russian government has the same obligations to those individuals and organizations engaged in the insurrectional struggle against the Republic of China. ”

"4. All Russian citizens residing in China shall be subject to all laws and regulations in force in the territory of the Republic of China and shall not enjoy any extraterritoriality. Chinese citizens residing in Russia are subject to all laws and regulations in force in the Soviet Union. ”

"5. The Government of the Republic of China shall undertake the following obligation: Immediately after the signing of this treaty, the Government of China shall sever all contact with persons who have not been appointed by the Government of Soviet Russia and who have appointed themselves diplomatic and consular representatives of Russia, and shall expel them from the territory of China as well."

"Return to Russia represented by the Soviet government the real estate belonging to the Russian embassy and consulate in China, as well as other property and archives of the embassy and consulate."

"6. The Government of Soviet Russia waives any reparations paid by China as a result of the Boxer Rebellion on the condition that the Government of the Republic of China shall not, under any circumstances, pay such indemnity to the former Russian consul or any other individual or Russian group who unlawfully made such claims."

"7. Immediately after the signing of this treaty, the Republic of China and the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic shall exchange diplomatic and consular representations."

"8. The governments of Russia and China agreed to conclude a separate treaty on the use of the Eastern Railway for Soviet Russia, and at the time of the conclusion of the treaty, in addition to China and Russia, the Far Eastern Republics also participated."

"The People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs has put forward the above points as the main provisions, and the Chinese Government may also propose amendments for the common interests of the two countries."

"The relations between the two peoples of China and Russia are not limited to the points mentioned in the above-mentioned agreement, and the representatives of the two countries will need to settle trade, border, railway, tariff and other issues in a separate special agreement in the future."

"We will take all measures to establish the closest and sincere friendship between the two sides, and hope that the Chinese Government will have the same sincerity and will promptly make proposals so that a treaty of friendship can be concluded as soon as possible."

"Deputy People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs: Karahan."

After listening to the reading of the full text of the Soviet Russian Government's declaration on China, many of the participants showed disapproval on their faces.

"If it's a government manifesto, why don't you see its leader's signature? And just a diplomat of what kind of deputy? Vice President Feng Guozhang asked with some annoyance, "It's just talking."
