Years of the Republic of China 1913

Song Jiaoren was sitting in front of the case and was giving instructions. When he heard footsteps, he knew that it was Zhao Bingjun who had come, so he casually asked him to wait, and continued to work without raising his head.

After a few minutes, Song Jiaoren put down the pen, looked up and saw that not only Zhao Bingjun came in, but Fang Zida was also sitting aside, and he was taken aback for a moment.

"Zhang Ming, why do you...?"

"I happened to meet Zhang Ming outside the corridor, and we talked for a while. He had the same purpose as me today, so we came in together." Zhao Bingjun quickly explained that he was the former prime minister, and he was with Song Jiaoren. The personal relationship is very good, and the relationship between the two is very casual.

"Oh..." Nodding his head slightly, Song Jiaoren stood up with a smile, walked to the sofa and sat down and asked, "Thank you, there must be something important for the two of you to come here together. Say, what's the matter?"

After exchanging glances with Fang Zida, Zhao Bingjun first said: "It's a bit unusual to come to Beijing recently. According to the report from the police bureau, there are some unusual behaviors in Beijing's schools, factories and even the business community, especially the students in the schools are very restless. , and frequently meet in private to conspire, it seems to be doing something."

"Is there such a thing?" Song Jiaoren was taken aback when he heard this, and was somewhat skeptical.

"Mr. Zhi'an is right, there is indeed such a thing." Fang Zida said: "According to the Beijing News, it seems that someone with a heart is stirring up antagonism among students, workers and people from all walks of life, and they are secretly colluding. It’s like launching something big.”

"Are you sure about this?" Now Song Jiaoren is not calm anymore. Fang Zida has the intelligence network, and Zhao Bingjun is the police chief. Both of them explained this issue in unison, saying that the information is true and reliable.Song Jiaoren, who was born as a revolutionary, of course knows what this means, especially those simple-minded and enthusiastic students. Once they are used by someone with a heart, I am afraid they can do anything.

Involuntarily, he took a cigarette from the cigarette jar and started to light it. Song Jiaoren felt that this matter was a bit tricky, and if it was not handled properly, it would bring about big problems.On the surface, the political transition since Yuan Shikai's death was very smooth, but the undercurrent is turbulent and dangerous.If something goes wrong at this time, he, as the prime minister of the government, must bear the brunt of it.

"Do you know who did it?" Song Jiaoren asked after thinking about it carefully.

"It's not clear yet." Zhao Bingjun shook his head.On the other hand, Fang Zida was a little hesitant.It seems to be considering whether to say or not to say.

"Zhang Ming, it seems that you have other ideas. There are no outsiders here, but you just say so."

"As for who instructed me, I have already sent someone to investigate. However, according to the analysis, the instructor is likely to be more than one party."

"Why do you say that?" Zhao Bingjun was surprised immediately.

"Brother Dunchu, Mr. Zhi'an, some time ago the outside world was arguing about the Japanese armistice, arguing endlessly in the newspapers and periodicals. In fact, I felt something was wrong at that time. If it wasn't for someone with intentions to secretly fuel the flames, how could there be troubles?" Be like this."

Fang Zida's words made them think.Slightly nodded.

Fang Zida continued: "According to our judgment, starting with public opinion is the first step, and the next step is to agitate students, workers, and common people who don't know the truth. Once the agitation is successful, the initial debate will inevitably turn into radical behavior. In this way , Zheng Fu will face a dilemma in how to deal with it.”

"Yes, if it is forcibly suppressed, the prestige of Zheng Fu will be lost, and the situation will even worsen. If it is left unchecked, Zheng Fu will also be unable to explain to the people or even the international community. The armistice agreement has just been signed, can it be torn up immediately? No matter how it is handled, it will Getting into trouble, hehe, good method, really good method!" Song Jiaoren sneered.He used this method in the Manchu Qing period, and he is no stranger to it. He never thought that there would be such a day that he would also face the same dilemma that the Manchu Qing government encountered back then. This is really ironic.

even.Song Jiaoren has vaguely guessed who the promoter behind it is, and I am afraid that there is no second person except Sun in Japan. ri went to war.Sun has calmed down a lot in Japan, maybe he is worried that he is in an "enemy country" and if he makes a speech, it will be frowned upon.But now that the ri armistice agreement has been signed, and the formal truce procedures are about to be completed, in this kind of jumping out to accuse the government of the country with national righteousness and national dignity, signing the traitorous agreement will not only win a lot of sympathizers and popular support, but also make a comeback. Being able to attack opponents politically can be said to serve multiple purposes.

Apart from Sun, Song Jiaoren can also be sure that behind him there is the shadow of Ri himself who is not reconciled. He failed to get anything on the battlefield and the negotiating table. Ri himself has always been their strong point to engage in such small tricks in private. When Sun made a move to disrupt the situation If the Japanese stood by and watched, perhaps even Song Jiaoren would not believe that they would have such kindness.

In addition to these two, there may be a third or fourth person.Of course Song Jiaoren knew that Duan Qirui had set up an Anfu club in private, and he also knew what purpose these people were colluding with.When the situation is gradually deteriorating, it is certain that ghosts and monsters will jump out one by one to add fuel to the flames. Once the handling is not good, Song Jiaoren, as the prime minister of the state, will be impeached by the Congress. The prestige of fu has also plummeted, causing violent turmoil in the seemingly calm evidence.

This is not a small matter, Song Jiaoren is very aware of its consequences.Somewhat irritably, he stubbed out the cigarette he had just taken a few puffs of, stood up and walked back and forth in the room.

"Zhi An, let the Police Bureau investigate immediately, keep a close watch on their movements, and report immediately if they make any moves!"

"If it is found out, did the commander use Jing to arrest him?" Zhao Bingjun responded, and then asked again.

"This... Don't startle the snake for now, let's watch closely."

"Yes!"

"Zhang Ming, with Zhi'an's cooperation, it's inconvenient for the police to come forward in some cases."

"I understand." Fang Zida nodded quickly.

"That's it, try to appease as much as possible first, and if the situation gets worse, then..." Song Jiaoren bit his lip when he said this, although he didn't continue to say, both Fang Zida and Zhao Bingjun knew it in their hearts.

After Fang Zida and the others left, Song Jiaoren immediately called Liao Zhongkai, and called the chief education officer, the deputy chief, and others to hold a small meeting.At the meeting, he pointed out that the current situation of student changes in various universities must be paid great attention to, and strive to suppress the signs in the bud.Let the Ministry of Education immediately convey the zhengfu order to the principals of the various schools, closely monitor the students' movements, and use persuasion as a way to calm the students down and prevent the situation from deteriorating.

In the end, Song Jiaoren pointed out that the means should be as flexible as possible, and never be tough, so as not to backfire.

However, although Song Jiaoren's idea is good, today's education world is completely different from that of future generations.Although the Ministry of Education is one of the cabinet departments of the government, it does not have much power, and each school does its own thing. Except for offering the big bosses of the Ministry of Education as clay bodhisattvas, they usually don't care about them at all.

Even, it is not the principal who has the most power in the school, but the highly respected professors.These professors with reputation and status are far more important in the eyes of students than officials and principals.

After Song Jiaoren's order went down, the effect was not great at all, and the students who were already dissatisfied with the reality were even more angry because the persuasion of the officials of the Ministry of Education was misled by interested people. The min zhu republican system kills zi you....

"Students! Song Jiaoren has degenerated from a revolutionary to a traitor! He colluded with the remnants of Beiyang and stole the fruits of the revolution. He is a traitor to the revolution!"

In a corner of the university campus, dozens of young students gathered together. Because of the cold weather, everyone was wearing more clothes. Standing in the crowd was a young man wearing a long gown with a snow-white scarf around his neck. The positive figures who appeared waved their fists impassionedly there.

"Mr. Song is not as bad as you said." The next student retorted.

"Student, you are too naive! You are simply confused by his superficial cover-up!" The positive person who spoke immediately retorted: "Since Song Jiaoren went north to Beijing, he first secretly colluded with Yuan Shikai, the only man in Beiyang, to betray national interests. In order to please Yuan Shikai, he climbed to the throne of prime minister. During the second revolution, Song Jiaoren and Yuan Shikai worked hand in hand and slaughtered countless revolutionaries with money from imperialist powers in exchange for guns. Those who stained their own top with their blood. Maybe some students will say that Song Jiaoren has done a lot of good things for the people during his tenure as prime minister in the past few years, especially the rapid development of commerce and agriculture compared with the Qing Dynasty. ? But I want to tell everyone that this is just their deceitful method, using some small favors to cover up their traitorous behavior behind the scenes."

"Not to mention anything else, just analyze this Japanese war. The soldiers of our National Defense Forces have surrounded the enemy of two entire divisions in Jiaodong, and even beat the Japanese themselves on the battlefield of Fengtian, and suffered heavy losses. In this favorable situation Under such circumstances, Zheng Fu not only did not take advantage of the victory to pursue and pursue the shame of Jiawu, but bent his knees to seek peace with the other party, and released the two captured Japanese divisions, ceding the land of Fengtian Baili, this kind of shameless traitor His behavior is even worse than that of Man Qing!"

The positive characters were eloquent and eloquent, and the students around them who were not deeply involved in the world all had their eyes glowing and felt their hearts surging.

"Down with the traitorous government! Want min zhu! Want free you! Oppose the empire! Oppress oppression!"

"I want min zhu! I want zi you!"

"Anti-Empire! Anti-Oppression!"

In the end, the student who was a positive person finished his speech with an exciting slogan, and everyone around him applauded with tears. Xing Xing, one senior at a time, has to discuss with him in private how to realize the real min zhuzi you.
