The establishment of the Concession Trial Court in 1864 was actually a mixed Chinese-foreign court, and on closer examination, it should be regarded as an extension of the extraterritoriality of the consuls. Although it was stipulated at the time of its establishment that cases between Chinese people would be tried by Chinese officials, cases involving foreigners should be tried by foreign officials, and cases negotiated between Chinese and foreign parties should be tried jointly by both parties, after the First Wu Dynasty and Gengzi, the rights of Chinese party members were seized, so that not only cases of Sino-foreign negotiations, but also cases between Chinese and Chinese, were basically tried by foreigners.

After thinking about it all night, Wang Xiaoxu decided to narrow the scope of the lawsuit, that is, it was no longer to sue the patrol house, but only to sue the foreigner medical officer who prescribed medicine to Zou Rong, so that it would not be a case of a Chinese suing a foreigner administrative agency, but a case of a Chinese suing a foreigner medical officer. Early the next morning, after the criminal complaint is included in the complaint book by the public prosecutor's office, what to do is to wait for the trial public office to review, and the litigation review will be transferred to the criminal book for prosecution.

On the day after the indictment was filed, several newspapers in Shanghai published the news that Zou Rong had died of poisoning, but the newspapers did not publish the examination report, but only quoted the old man's words, and based on his decades of experience in autopsies, it was believed that Zou Rong may have died of poisoning. Although it was only a speculative remark, it still caused an uproar among readers, especially the Su Bao case that caused a national sensation the year before last, when Zhang Taiyan and Zou Rong publicly slandered the emperor and killed all the Manchurians, and they were only sentenced to two to three years in prison, which greatly boosted the morale of the reformers and the revolutionary party, which is equivalent to saying that there is no risk in the future as long as the imperial court criticizes the revolution in the concession. Therefore, after Su reported the case, the most popular word in Shanghai was revolution, and criticism of the government was also a regular item at Zhang Yuan's rallies...... For the sake of the country and society, I would rather sacrifice myself; ......" And now, Zou Rong's death has made these voices a shock. Those who had previously thought they were revolutionaries began to hold their breath and silence them, looking left and right in a panic.

The reaction of the society is like this, but the voice of the academic community is the opposite, Zou Rong's death has made all the students who secretly read "The Revolutionary Army" extremely regretful, not to mention that the case of Zhou Yousheng, who was born in December last year, is still fresh in everyone's memory, and the schools directly under the Education Association are fine, and others such as Nanyang Public School, Aurora Public School, and Cantonese Dialect School. As well as the students of private schools such as Chengxin Middle School and Minli Middle Hall, which were established after the abolition of the school, they are already actively connecting with each other, preparing to hold a big assembly in Zhangyuan on the weekend, and then discuss the practical method in the assembly.

Since the indictment, Wang Xiaoxu has been paying attention to the reactions of all sides, and constantly adjusting the public opinion of the newspaper according to these reactions. He was like a spider hiding in the darkness at the moment, adjusting his movements to the movements coming from all sides of the silk web, cautiously and subtly. Of course, Wang Xiaoxu can feel that where there is a wire mesh, then he knows nothing where there is no silk mesh, especially the reactions generated in these places can often determine the success or failure of everything.

On the second day of the indictment, the Ministry of Industry Bureau learned about the incident from the following report - the word "Ministry of Labor" does not correctly describe the concession management agency located at No. 23 Jiangxi Road in the concession. The correct name would be the Shanghai Municipal Council, which has nine directors, all but one American and one German, all British, and it is customary for a board of nine directors to have a general director each year, and this year the general director is Hans Christian Andersen.

"Was this Qing revolutionary really poisoned?" Mr. Anderson, the Chief Officer, was an English gentleman who had come to the Public Concession thirty years earlier. In the past few years, he has been on the board of directors many times, but it was last year and this year that he was promoted to the general director. Years of financial work have made him subtle and cautious, he does not want to achieve much in office, he just wants to run smoothly under his own management, and all the things are safe.

"Nope. No way. "As the general office of the Ministry of Industry, Pu Lande is very concerned about the affairs under the jurisdiction of the concession, and he saw the news published in the newspaper yesterday, but. As a writer and Times reporter, his imagination led him to answer the general director's questions less than positively. "Mr. Dong, I think this should have been done by the Indians in the Huade Road Prison, it's really bad there. They have always been very unkind to the prisoners. ”

"Oh, is that so?" Andersen put down the newspaper, and said, "Then there is no need to accept their ......," and Andersen said: "If this news is published in the newspaper, it will be very damaging to the reputation of the Ministry of Industry, and besides, this poor doctor is English." ”

It's just too bad. Pu Lande said in his heart, he felt that things were not as simple as he had just said. When the Qing government negotiated with him to arrest the people of the Patriotic Society the year before last, he kept prevaricating and perfunctory, just asking the patrol room to bring the people of the society to question, and after warning those revolutionaries not to store arms in the concession, he released all the Qing people. It was not until later that the Qing government felt that the negotiations with him were invalid, so it directly bypassed him to negotiate with the Shanghai consular corps, which happened to be the American consul on duty at that time, so under the bewitchment of the American Fu Kaisen, the head office of Nanyang College, the American consul Guna ordered the patrol room to arrest these revolutionaries. After the arrest, after several tosses, these people were protected. Although the concession ignored the protests of the Qing government and sentenced them to several years in prison, did those revolutionaries really escape? He didn't believe it, and his intuition told him that this time the death of this political prisoner must have some kind of involvement with the Qing government.

As if sensing Puland's hesitation, Andersen asked, "John, what do you think?" ”

"I—" Pu Lande couldn't say his guess, and two years of getting along made him understand that Andersen was an extremely strict man, which was very incompatible with his romantic thinking as a writer. Sir, I was just thinking about that mad dog. ”

"Mad dogs? Oh, yes. Damn it. "Yes, how did I forget the mad dog?" It would be nice if the world didn't have Germans, and he would have been thinking about how to make things bigger. No, either shut up the newspapers, or accept the prosecution of the Qing people. You go to the patrol room and ask Lamberson, if you accept the lawsuit of the Qing people, will you be sure to win the lawsuit? ”

"As you wish, Mr. Dong." After Pu Lande finished speaking, he retreated, and then called Hotline to patrol the room. Soon. More than an hour later, he knocked on the door of the director's office.

"Sir, I have asked Chief Inspector Lamberson in detail, he doesn't think that the death of this Qing man has anything to do with the patrol house, he thinks that those Qing people just want to make a lot of money from this." Although in Pu Land's opinion, the IQ of the chief inspector of the patrol room, Lan Bosen, is not far from that of the pig, but he still has to tell Mr. Sù the chief Dong of his original words.

"Really? But this Qing man is a political prisoner. He was a revolutionary. It is impossible to ask for compensation from the patrol house like other Qing people. "Andersen's meticulousness allows him to do things that no one else can do, and he doesn't like the current inspector.

"What's your opinion? John. He asked.

"Well, yes, sir, I also sense something is wrong. I didn't know it at first, but I understood it once I went out. Pu Lande said. More and more, he felt that something was wrong. "On the way to the patrol house, I bought a few newspapers, all of which were discussing the death of this Qing man, and some small newspapers even speculated that we were bought by the Qing government and then poisoned this poor Qing man. The newspapers were so quick to pick up on the matter that it was the second day of their indictment. I think there must be someone behind this. Pu Landing said that this was a stop, and it would be too subjective to speculate any further, and at this time Andersen raised his head and glanced at him. When their eyes met, Pu Land only felt that he and Mr. Dong thought together—they agreed that the Germans were making trouble, but what was the mad dog going to do?

The German mad dog who was wronged by the general director Hans Christian Andersen and the general office Pu Anderde was actually the German counselor in China, Baron Gelsch, he was a standard Prussian nobleman, who came to the Far East in 19o1, and after arriving in China, he expressed his hostility to Britain in many public occasions, and even completely ignored the previous Anglo-German agreement on the Jinzhen Railway (later renamed the Jinpu Railway), claiming that Shandong and the Yellow River Valley were Germany's sphere of influence, and the Jinzhen Railway either did not pass through Shandong. It was necessary to pass through Shandong, and the railway was handed over to Germany for construction. The Jinzhen Railway can only turn to Shanxi without passing through Shandong, which is bound to be connected with the Luhan Railway, but France and Russia completely rejected this, so the compromise with Germany is certain, before Britain has made certain concessions, and the two sides have reached an agreement, but Baron Gersch came. He wanted to completely overturn the previous agreement, which made all the British personnel in China have no good opinion of him, and of course some people saw his fierce expression when he repeatedly declared that German interests in Shandong were inviolable, so they gave him the nickname Mad Dog.

"John. Do you know, what is he doing in Shanghai? Hasn't he been in Beijing all along? Andersen asked.

"It is said that I came to inspect a school, a German school co-founded with the Qing people, this school is just across the Huangpu Beach in Pidgin, and now preparations are underway, it is said that it will open in September this year, and the Germans attach great importance to it, and this will be the first school run by the Germans in China." Pu Lande said without complaints, he only thinks that the British can only do business, the French can only preach, Russia only needs territory, and the Americans only know how to shout that the door is open. According to Pulander's view, the British, as the largest force in the Qing state, should have cultivated a group of pro-British people, and now the Germans and Japanese are already doing this, and the British have done nothing.

"Oh. Is it. Andersen began to have a headache, since the end of the Boer War, or rather, since Britain abandoned the foreign policy of "glorious isolation" and "big 6 equilibrium", Anglo-German relations have become worse and worse, and now, when the incomparably stupid emperor of Germany visited Wèn Morocco earlier this month, he expressed his support for Moroccan independence and openly challenged French influence in Morocco, and Germany and France were already at war.

Originally, no matter how hostile Germany and France were, it would be a good thing for Britain, but now, Britain, which has abandoned its previous diplomatic strategy, can no longer sit on the sea and watch the tiger fight as before. The great losses of the Boer War weakened the country, and it was no longer able to cope with the competition of Germany, France and Russia at the same time. Knowing that Germany, which was carrying out its world policy and growing navy, could not form an alliance with itself, Britain turned its hopes to the Franco-Russian alliance, and while alliing with Japan in the East to allow Japan to block Russia, he also vigorously promoted the Anglo-French Entente, intending to use French influence on Russia to reconcile Russia. In April 19o4, after more than a year of difficult negotiations, the Anglo-French Entente was finally signed, which completely engulfed Britain in European affairs. At this time, Germany also saw that Morocco was the key to the Anglo-French Entente, and constantly created incidents in Morocco to hit Anglo-French relations and attempt to break up Britain and France. But what Germany did not expect was that the more it hit France. Britain was compelled to state: "Although Britain is not allied with France...... But if Germany had attacked France, Britain would not be able to remain neutral under the influence of public opinion" (Lancedowne, British Foreign Secretary, in the First Moroccan Crisis in June 19o5); But what Britain didn't expect was that the more it favored France, the more Germany would strengthen its army in isolation, and there would eventually be a war between France and Russia and Germany and Austria, and Britain would no longer be able to get out of it.

Andersen was just a financial officer, and he was concerned about the undercurrent situation in Europe. But he was not a diplomat after all, and could not pay attention to the innermost meaning, and after a moment of thought, he said, "John, it is better to report this matter to Sir." I guess that should be sensible. ”

Sir is Sir Huo Bilan, who is the British Consul General in Shanghai. He was previously the Consul General in Hankow, and in 1901 he was transferred to the Consul General in Shanghai, which can be regarded as a China expert.

"Okay. Mr. Dong. Pu Lande said that it is not a trivial matter to involve the Germans, and the general director is now reporting this matter to the consul general, and Pu Lande believes that this is extremely correct.

The German Baron Geersch, who was remembered by the British, actually had nothing to do with Zou Rong's case, and he was visiting the school campus jointly run by the Education Association and the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs accompanied by Cai Yuanpei. In order to better win over Germany, the name of the school was taken according to the German Deutsch's Shanghai dialect, called Tongji, of course, in order not to be scolded by the Chinese people for worshipping the foreign and flattering the outside, Tongji's internal interpretation is to help each other in the same boat.

The school was originally planned in the American concession, but later under Yang Rui's construction, it was placed in 6jiazui on the other side of Huangpu Beach. The entire pidgin was bought by the Education Society. After more than a year of busy work, a flat place has been sorted out on the wasteland, and the current school is built on it. In order to curry favor with Germany, the buildings on the campus are all in the Baroque style, which is simple and elegant, and the soft-shaped buildings have become the school's library and teaching buildings, and even the dormitories, canteens, and professors' apartments at the back of the school. In addition to German-style architecture. The trees on both sides of the school's main road are also very particular, no longer the French plane trees that were common in Shanghai in later generations, but the linden trees (linden trees) in Berlin, which grow tall and verdant. It adds a rare style to the whole campus.

The German-style architecture and the linden trees on Berlin's Linden Strasse make visitors from Germany seem to be back in Germany for a moment, and these straight and tall Bodhi trees amaze everyone. Baron Gerz said, "Mr. Cai, this is really remarkable. I used to think that Mr. Rutte was exaggerating, but now it seems that he is very modest. ”

The year before last, Cai Yuanpei had been learning German in Qingdao, and in the past few years, with the atmosphere within the Revival Association, his German has become more fluent, he knows who this person is, and he knows that he is the second person in Germany in China, and he smiled and said with a smile: "Lord Baron, Mr. Rutte has given us great help, and this time it is completely dependent on his help to promote the cooperation between the two sides." He has always been a humble man. ”

After Cai Yuanpei said this, Lu Te and the others who accompanied him laughed, and they were very happy to have such a large school in Shanghai. The baron's joy lies in the inculcation of German culture into China, after all, the most popular foreign language in China is English, and when Chinese newspapers translate foreign news, they often translate bad words about Germany in English newspapers, which makes him extremely angry, and most of the students are learning English, and there are very few people who learn German, so if there is such a school, then the excellent and noble German culture will conquer the country;

And for Rutte, the experience of the past few years is a miracle, I can't imagine that the young people who could only order one set of equipment in the past will have such great achievements today, this qiē is done with his help, especially he also helped to expand the German influence in China, which will be a brilliant stroke in his life, and even he believes that the history of this school will record himself Freihair. Feng. Rutte's name, as long as this school is there, will always be remembered;

In addition to the baron and Rutte, Dr. Baolong next to him no longer has to worry about where to run the medical school, he has already seen the teaching building built by the school for the medical school, which is completely much better than the medical school he used to in the naval school, but he was puzzled by the Bodhi tree in the school, and he asked: "Mr. Cai, how did these Bodhi trees grow." Did they grow so big in the first place? ”

"Oh. They ...... "Cai Yuanpei secretly scolded his mother as soon as he heard this Bodhi tree, these trees are dug up from Jiangsu and Zhejiang and other places, fortunately, the water transportation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is convenient, these hundreds of big trees can be transported to Shanghai, planted in last winter, and now they have been sprouted for a long time. The effort of the tree species and the money spent can build two teaching buildings, but Yang Rui has to insist on going his own way, saying that a university scholar is not a building, but also a big tree. What bullshit!
