When the British landed on the Caspian Sea on June 16, 1919, the Paris Peace Conference was about to close, and the question of Shandong was still unresolved. Gu Weijun's speech greatly shocked the representatives of Europe and the United States, and finally forced Britain, France and the United States to decide to exclude the issue of Shandong's ownership from the European spoils sharing conference, because Asia does not belong to the scope of the European war.

However, this issue will not be resolved without being resolved but will be resolved at a separate meeting, and at that time, under the mediation of the United States, Britain, France, the United States, Japan, and the nine other countries will be resolved together in Washington, D.C., and each will be restrained in order to prevent the emergence of a new world war.

It can be said that the Paris peace talks were already extremely beneficial to China at this time, because Wang Maoru knew that Shandong was finally returned to China under the mediation of the United States. But perhaps the Chinese people had too high expectations for the Paris Peace Conference, and after the Paris Peace Conference decided to kick the ball to Washington, a reporter passed the news on to China, which immediately sparked a wave of national protests.

The May Fourth Movement was not launched, but the June 16 Movement did.

On June 16, 1919, mass protests erupted across the country because the protesting powers did not immediately return Qingdao, Shandong, China. Yang Du even urgently transmitted the situation of the people in the five northeastern provinces to Wang Maoru by telegram, asking him for instructions on what the five northeastern provinces should do next. Now that the Tohoku region is extremely excited, how can the people of Tohoku not break out in the face of the Japanese who still have colonies, railways, and privileges in Tohoku to this day?

The privileges of the Japanese in Tohoku are far beyond the imagination of modern people. Especially on the South Manchurian Railway, when the Chinese people accidentally entered within five kilometers of the South Manchurian Railway, the Japanese could arrest people at will. Gradually, the local people in Northeast China knew the hatefulness of the Japanese, so they stayed away from the South Manchurian Railway Area, but many Chinese people from Shandong, Zhili, Henan and other places to the Northeast did not know, and after entering the country, they were caught by the Japanese, they tied these people up and took them to the train, and threw them directly into the train coal furnace with coal and burned them. The Japanese disparaged these Chinese as the meaning of the big Japanese log, the wooden block, and ridiculed the people of Shina for being all big on the road. And the Chinese people often have nowhere to seek redress.

This cruelty to the Chinese people did not change until Wang Maoru unified Northeast China, and after Wang Maoru led the Chinese army to return from Europe, he reached an agreement with the commander of the Kwantung Army, Yujiro Nakamura, when passing through Dalian, that the Chinese who strayed into Japan's South Manchurian Railway would be redeemed by the local government of Northeast China.

However, this hatred has been hovering in the hearts of the Chinese people, especially the people of Northeast China, who mention Little Japan does not gnash their teeth, although the Chinese are cowardly, but they only lack a person to take the lead in making trouble and an opportunity to make trouble. A parade of countries around the world. Only the Chinese will march along the road and even do more irrational things. It's because I accumulate all my resentment on weekdays. If you can march and protest once every three days, who would smash things with such blood.

Therefore, the June 16 Movement first set off demonstrations among college students in Beijing, and then held demonstrations and demonstrations throughout the country to boycott Japanese goods. The people in charge, Halbara and Yang Du, immediately asked Wang Maoru how to deal with it. Wang Maoru immediately replied: "Do a good job of guidance, be prepared, if the Japanese take the initiative to attack, protect the students, but organize the students to take the initiative to attack." This incident set an example to guide the students, and at the same time pay attention to the opportunity of Soviet and Russian spies among the student crowd to stir up trouble. If a conflict breaks out, the Japanese demand severe punishment, and the responsibility is shifted to the Soviet and Russian spies. They tried in vain to stir up relations between China and Japan, and gave the example of the riots in Japan, hoping that they would not be fooled. ”

Yang Du got the command and sighed. Said to Halbara: "Why is Xiushuai so resentful of Soviet Russia? Even the tragedy that will happen is blamed on Soviet Russia, and it seems that Soviet Russia must have made Xiushuai hate it very much. ”

Halbara smiled: "Xiushuai's consideration must have a deep meaning, you and I can't guess, so let's do it." ”

Subsequently, the seven-member military and political department of the Tohoku Local Self-Government Government and the city halls of major cities publicized the route of the procession and dispatched police troops to protect the roads. And the military is responsible for protecting and guiding the parade, which really gives the parade an official flavor and makes it more meaningful. At the same time, the parade under the protection of the army did not go too far, and the army even handed out their five-color flags to the students, allowing them to march with them. The Japanese ronin, who originally wanted to fight with the Chinese, also had to retreat three points when they saw the squadron carrying guns and bayonets hand in hand to protect the Chinese students from the demonstration.

The Japanese are such a people, they bully the weak and are afraid of the hard, and when you harden up, they will soften.

In the course of the demonstrations, citizens continued to join in enthusiastically, but in the northeast alone, 27 cities broke out in demonstrations, and as long as there were more than 100,000 people, there would definitely be demonstrations. However, it is true that the five northeastern provinces and regions are the only places that have not caused riots due to demonstrations, and the other demonstration cities have suffered a small impact. The official protection of the demonstrations, the guidance of the marchers, and the protection of the marchers, were specially approved by Wang Maoru, the governor of the northeast. Wang Maoru sent a telegram "To the People of Northeast China" on the Bokrovsk front in Russia, saying: "The people, the country, and the national strength all need self-improvement, self-discipline, and self-examination. After the demonstrations, the people of Greater China should work hard to re-emerge in Asia. As long as our people work together to make the country strong, we will surely re-emerge in the east of the world and become the leader of this world again. Students, study hard and serve the motherland! Workers, work hard and build the country! Farmers, work hard to plow the fields, eat the world! Gentry, work hard and revive the nation! Soldiers, train hard to defend your home and country! All the Chinese people, work hard to realize the Chinese dream and the dream of a strong country! ”

After "To the People of Northeast China" was sent to the Northeast Military and Political Coordination Department, after Yang Du, Jiang Fangzhen, Zhang Kuian, and others decided to change the title of the lecture to "Confession to the Chinese People", and after asking Wang Maoru, Wang Maoru said: "This title might as well be changed to "The Chinese Dream, the Dream of a Strong Country -- To the Confession of the Chinese People." Yang Du shouted after hearing it, and then the confession was confirmed to be published and broadcast, and all the major newspapers published it one after another.

At that time, there was no shortage of nationalists, especially the Chinese nation, which had long been insulted by foreign enemies, leading the world for 5,000 years, but now being bullied by others, how could this ancient oriental nation not break out? As a result, many scholars and celebrities have talked about the power of the country, the nation, and the country in the newspapers.

The June 16 Movement was not as violent as the May Fourth Movement in history, and even attacked government departments and beat government officials, because of the government's toughness on the outside world, and although the Shandong issue was not resolved, the great powers such as Britain, France, and the United States decided to solve it in the Washington agreement in October. At the same time, some newspapers and authoritative sources said that because Japan's navy has become stronger and stronger, it has threatened the position of other powers, so it is very likely that the powers will sanction Japan in the Washington agreement, and Japan will have to return China's Shandong.

In fact, the advantages and disadvantages of the May Fourth Movement lie in the progress of the concept of cultural politics, which allowed the government to experience for the first time that public opinion was like a tide, and for the first time public opinion dominated the direction of government politics, and the government was no longer a government of one or two people, no longer just a government of high-ranking officials, but also a government of the people.

It's just that this short-lived democracy, which disappeared after a few decades, never appeared again. The cultural reform advocated vernacular writing and the reform of writing methods, which had some progressive significance, but also destroyed a large part of the history of Chinese Confucianism. This is also the most criticized part of this sport by people of insight, the Chinese inheritance culture has been destroyed and broken, and the scholars of the Republic of China are the last group of people to cultivate traditional culture. In the later period of the Kuomintang, it was impossible for there to be masters of Chinese culture, and all masters of Chinese culture were educated in traditional culture. Isn't it sad that the May Fourth New Culture has led to the lack of culture in China?

Under the deliberate guidance of Wang Maoru's remote control, the June 16 Movement did not carry out much reform in the cultural circles, but the concept of the dream of a strong country was proposed, and many scholars still advocated the simplification of Chinese characters, the vernacular writing movement, and the horizontal writing movement, and even the Zhejiang celebrity Qian Xuantong proposed to abolish Chinese characters and westernize them completely, and he believed that the biggest obstacle to China's development was that square characters were not conducive to the popularization of the people and the eradication of illiteracy. He said in the newspaper: "I once again boldly declare that if we want to make China immortal and to make the Chinese nation a civilized nation in the 20 th century, we must take the abolition of Confucianism and Taoism as the fundamental solution, and the abolition of the Chinese language that records the Confucian doctrine and Taoist fallacies is especially the fundamental solution." ”

In order to deal with the nationwide anti-Japanese demonstrations in China, Japan had to order residents to be confined and not to leave, not to flaunt through the city, not to leave the concession without authorization, and called Duan Qirui, demanding that Duan Qirui strictly order to stop boycotting Japanese goods and anti-Japanese demonstrations. At the same time, he called Wang Maoru and asked Wang Maoru to strictly suppress the anti-Japanese masses in Northeast China.

Wang Maoru thought for a while before he secretly telegraphed Yang Du, asking Yang Du to convey his instructions, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Parade should be orderly march, and the masses must be protected from the Japanese invasion, and more importantly, the excesses should be stopped, and the masses should be asked to demonstrate peacefully, and the demonstrators should sign a guarantee to guarantee that they can participate in the peaceful march. He asked the government to treat Japan without being humble or arrogant, and to be reasonable, but not to provoke the Japanese government and the Japanese so as not to cause a fire in their own backyard.
