Years of the Republic of China 1913

Tianjin Japanese Concession.

Since the European War, the concessions in various parts of China have been withdrawn one after another, and the first concession to be withdrawn is of course the German concession.Before the war in Europe, under Fang Zida's efforts, the government of the Republic of China not only took back the German concessions in various places, but also took back Qingdao Island occupied by the Germans, making it the first great success in diplomacy after the founding of the Republic of China.

As the war continued, in order to win over China to join the war, the fighting European countries took the initiative to make concessions and signed a series of new treaties with China, including the terms of taking back some concessions.After China joined the Allied Powers, it forcibly took back the concessions of the original allies. After the revolution broke out in Tsarist Russia, the Russian concessions in various places were also taken back one by one. Not only that, in the cooperation with the provisional government of the Russian Empire that was established later, the Chinese government not only All the Russian concessions were taken back. With the victory of the Sino-Soviet war, all the territories ceded during the Qing Dynasty were also taken back. They even took advantage of this war to take a lot of benefits from Russia.

Therefore, since 1923, mainland China has basically restored its territorial integrity. Apart from Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places, there are still public concessions, but even the meaning of public concessions is different from the previous concessions. The few concessions in China have gradually changed from the simple concessions at the beginning to the type of free economic and trade zones in later generations. Their political significance has gradually increased, but their economic uses have increased a lot.

Fang Zida is very clear that it is already remarkable to be able to achieve this step in just over ten years.He doesn't expect to completely take back the remaining concessions in one go. After all, doing so will greatly stimulate the powers. Although China is different from the past, the exchanges between countries in this world can not only solve problems by being tough, but also compromise in some cases. more important,

After all, China does not yet have the power to compete with the entire Western world.

According to the current national policy for each concession.Doing so can achieve a smooth transition.And as the cooperation between China and the United States unfolded, the United States also agreed to relax the rights of the American concession, which made the existence of the concession change from the previous political aspect to the economic aspect.

So far, the only exception is the Japanese Concession in China.From the current point of view, the Japanese occupy the most territory in China. Japan not only has concessions in various places.It also occupies a place in Lushun, which is what they call "Kwantung State". In addition, there is Taiwan * Taiwan that was ceded during the Sino-Japanese War.Facing countries around the world continuing to return concessions and start economic cooperation with the Chinese government, the Japanese pretended to be deaf and dumb from the very beginning, as if they didn't see it.Even after the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs tentatively proposed to Japan to redeem the concessions, the Japanese government ignored them, and instead strengthened its precautions against the Japanese concessions in various places.A large number of so-called navies were stationed, and many ronin were recruited from China to wander in the concession, in order to declare their rights to the concession in this way.

Before the New Year of 1923 was all over, a group of guests ushered in a small western-style building in the Japanese Concession in Tianjin.These guests are all well-dressed, and some of them still have full braids on the back of their heads. When they meet each other, they don't shake hands or salute with fists as is popular today. The current date is clearly printed on the newspapers sold on the Internet.I even thought it was still full. [

"Uncle Ba, my nephew greets you..."

"Oh. It's Little Six, get up." A medium-sized, slightly fat man got out of the car. Just as he entered the door, a young man ran over from the side and knelt down on one knee.The man looked at the man and smiled immediately, and raised his left hand smartly.

"I haven't seen Eighth Uncle for a few years. Unexpectedly, Eighth Uncle, you still remember me." The young man got up and smiled and approached him. The man listened for a while, and laughed and cursed: "You six monkeys, I know Eighth Uncle even after being burned to ashes. When did you come? Is your father here yet?"

"Back to Uncle Ba, my father is not strong enough. He can't get up when it's cold. No, I can only come here by myself. By the way, Uncle Ba, where did you get rich all these years? Look at your rosy face. Give me a chance to take care of my nephew."

"You boy, don't think I don't know. Aren't you a military judge in Jichang Town now? Are you a lieutenant colonel of the National Defense Forces? Although this position is not high, the power in your hands is still not light. Live well It is much more moisturizing than ordinary people."

"Uncle Ba, I can't compare with you no matter what." The young man smiled and said, "You are one of us!" He gave a thumbs up and said, "You were the chief of staff of Commander Zhang the year before last. Last year, I heard that he was promoted to brigade commander, so he was already a general. As far as your future is concerned, who else would you rely on to take care of this little lieutenant colonel, nephew? Don’t you think so?”

"Fuck you!" The man lifted his foot and kicked happily, and the young man jumped aside nimbly, covering his mouth and laughing.

Speaking of these two people, they can really be regarded as uncles and nephews, but the relationship between them is not known for how many generations.The middle-aged man's name is Xiqia. His ancestor is the descendant of Murhaqi, the brother of Nurhachi, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. He studied in Tokyo Zhenwu School and Non-commissioned Officer School in Japan in his early years, and he is also one of the backbones of the Zongsha Party.

The young man's name is Jin Mingshi, and he is the same clan of the last young emperor Puyi. In terms of seniority, he is indeed Xiqia's nephew, but the relationship is not far away.

Xiqia served in the Northeast National Defense Forces, served as brigade commander in Zhang Zuolin's military region, with the rank of major general.Jin Mingshi is also an officer of the National Defense Forces, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, just as Xiqia said, he served as a military judge in the garrison in Jichang Town.Apart from having the same ancestor, the two of them were both officers of the National Defense Forces. Not counting these two, they were also the backbone of the Zong-Socialist Party, and they were representatives of the middle and young generations of the Zong-Socialist Party.

This time, in the name of visiting relatives and friends, Xiqia and Jin Mingshi quietly came to Tianjin to attend the internal gathering of the Zongsha Party. Prince Aixinjueluo Shanqi.

Speaking of Prince Su Shanqi, he was a well-known figure back then. Prince Su was the Iron Hat King. Back then, Shanqi won the trust of Lafayette Cixi and was an important minister in the court.

Shanqi is the best among the kings in the late Qing Dynasty. He is capable, open-minded and forthright. He was named the second-class general of the town at the age of 21, and became the prince of Su at the age of 33. He was the first minister of civil affairs in the late Qing Dynasty and Chinese history. The founder of the Chinese police system, once served as the supervisor of Chongwenmen and the secretary of Lifanyuan.During the Revolution of [-], he resolutely opposed the abdication of Emperor Xuantong Puyi, and even shed tears.In the early years of the Republic of China, as an important member of the Zongsha Party, he instigated a rebellion and advocated the independence of Manchuria and Mongolia.He once compared his dream of restoration to Han Guangwu's restoration of the great Han, and his desperation to Jingwei reclamation. He is the leader of the Clan Socialist Party.

With the rise of the Republic of China, the restoration of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties was out of reach. The disheartened Shanqi hid in Lushun for these years and did not care about world affairs. Who would have thought that just a while ago, the sectarians from all over the world suddenly received invitations from Shanqi, Invite them to come to Tianjin to gather together and discuss major issues.In this way, these backbones of the Clan Socialist Party who cherished the former Qing came quietly from all over the place and gathered in this place.

"Where is Prince Su? Is his old man here?" [

Entering the flower hall, Xiqia found a chair and sat down. There were already many people in the flower hall, some of whom he knew, and some of whom he was not familiar with. Jin Mingshi who was behind him asked.

"The prince is resting in the back. It is said that his health is not very good, but he sent his son-in-law to greet everyone. Look, eighth uncle, that is the one."

Jin Mingshi quietly pointed to the front, and saw a young man with a short stature and bowed legs, helping Zhang Luo like a master.Xiqia didn't know this young man, so he couldn't help asking who it was.

Jin Mingshi told Xiqia that this is Prince Su's [-]th son-in-law, the Mongolian Prince Ganjuerzabu. This Ganjuerzabu is not only a Mongolian prince, but also a student of Japanese Lu Shi. This marriage has just happened. Soon.

Nodding slightly, Xiqia understood when he heard this. In fact, when he heard that the party was held here, he knew that there must be a Japanese figure behind him. matching.It's just that he wondered why he didn't put the meeting place in Guandong Prefecture. You must know that although this is a concession, it is still China's territory after all. Isn't it a bit ostentatious to have such a big party?

(I'm really sorry, I have a cold and a fever these days, and I haven't recovered after two days of rest. I hope everyone understands!) (To be continued...)
