The sun never sets

In the military field, especially in the use of artillery, Napoleon made outstanding contributions, but he was not so good in politics and diplomacy. Moreover, Napoleon did make some major mistakes. During the expedition to Russia, he lost everything for France.

Therefore, Lin Yongchang did not agree with the saying of Red Napoleon. If he was said to be "Xiang Ji reborn" or "Marquis Guanjun reborn", he might be very happy. A very bad sign appeared in the cultural circles of the south and the north. It was said that they were too superstitious about foreigners, and even wanted to abandon Chinese characters and use Latinized letters instead.

Although there are various reasons for this statement, Marshal Lin was still very angry and thought it was an act of forgetting one's roots. The Americans said: If China gave up using Chinese characters, then China would no longer exist. Look, even the foreign devils know the truth, why don't those intellectuals understand it?

In order to vent his frustration, Lin Yongchang tried 500 foreign devils on the first day, beheaded nearly 300 of them, and hung 200 on the gallows.

The atmosphere was very lively. Every time the guillotine fell and chopped off the foreign devil's head, it would cause a thunderous cheer.

Although it was called a public trial, in fact, the trial had already been completed a few months ago. For the Eight-Nation Alliance, Lin Yongchang used the presumption of guilt. If there was no evidence of innocence for those foreigners, they would all be executed.

There were not only Chinese people but also many foreigners in the crowd, including British Ambassador Claude Donald and the soon-to-be-appointed Jordan. They all looked unhappy as they watched the heads of Westerners fall to the ground one by one and into the bamboo baskets.

The public trial itself was a revenge insult to the Europeans, and beheading in public only strengthened this influence. From then on, the Chinese would become more unruly and more difficult to tame. Fortunately, this influence only occurred in the north of China, and those in the south were still easy to deal with. The British Empire's fleet still firmly controlled the surface of the Yangtze River and could effectively prevent the People's Army from moving south.

Many people around looked at Donald and the others with malicious eyes, as if they wanted to hang them on the gallows. Feeling the danger, Donald and Jordan hurriedly left Caishikou and returned to the embassy in Dongjiaomin Lane.

Seeing the foreign devils running away, Wang Jingwei said with some regret: "They ran away so fast!"

He called a lot of friends together and prepared to make a big move, but before they could start, those foreign devils ran away. But the monk can run away but the temple cannot, so he will go to the parade and give those foreign devils a good show!

The beheading and hanging took only half a day, and the new government organized a grand parade in the remaining half a day. The parade passed through Chang'an Avenue and the square, beating drums and shouting slogans all the way, and finally shouted the slogan "Down with the imperialist powers" outside Dongjiaominxiang.

Ambassadors from various countries watched the parade outside with fear, fearing that the Chinese would rush in and capture and behead them all. Indeed, some young people thought so. After watching the video footage shot by the Eight-Nation Alliance, young people always get excited and want to kill all the foreigners.

Hatred and love are the strongest forces in the world. Lin Yongchang knows this very well. He was once a passionate youth. Promoting hatred against foreigners is a kind of patriotic education, which can make many people realize that they are Chinese and the government is not unrelated to them. In this dark and cruel world, without a strong motherland, you will be bullied wherever you go.

But we can't let the situation get out of control. We have to show the foreigners the Chinese people's fighting spirit, but we can't really fight. It's like walking on a tightrope. If you're not careful, you'll be finished. Even if he used a cheat, Lin Yongchang was very cautious in handling these things and didn't dare to take it lightly.

When the parade arrived outside of Dongjiaominxiang, they saw piled sacks, barricades and armed People's Army soldiers, and no one rushed in to kill. The young people shouted slogans for more than an hour outside Dongjiaominxiang, burned the Russian flag, and then gradually dispersed.

Why burn the Russian flag? Because the Russians occupy millions of square kilometers of Chinese land and are China's biggest and most dangerous enemy. In addition, it is also to show goodwill to Britain and the United States. The British do not want to see the Russians expand in the Far East, and the Americans do the same.

The Americans, who are about to explode, are frantically looking for markets all over the world. Northeast China is the place coveted by Americans... First, after the Russians occupied Northeast China, they turned it into their exclusive colony and refused entry to other countries. This caused public outrage, and the Americans took the opportunity to give them a few punches.

But it was impossible for the Americans to fight for the Russians themselves. The U.S. Army was basically not taken seriously by the Europeans, and they themselves thought so. In fact, they also coveted the territory of the Yangtze River Basin, but that was the private land of the British. The Americans did not dare to confront Britain, but only dared to follow behind Britain and bark at the Tsarist Russia in the northeast.

At this time, the United States had surpassed Britain in industrial strength, but it was completely unable to compete with Britain in terms of technology, military, politics, diplomacy, etc. It wanted to expand abroad but did not have the courage to do so. After much deliberation, it finally chose the ruined Spain. The navy completed the task perfectly, but the army fought very badly and suffered a great loss on land.

Fortunately, Minister Conger was able to gain such a huge market in northern China without paying much, which slightly relieved the pressure within the United States. However, the Central People's Republic government led by Lin Yongchang was not a colonial regime like the previous dynasty. It welcomed American capital and technology, but would not sell out sovereignty or allow Americans to plunder without restraint.

The American ate a few bites of meat, but felt even hungrier.

Chapter 158 Bad Water

The American ambassador, Conger, looked unhappy after watching the beheading and hanging activities today. Although those who were beheaded and hung on the gallows today were all Russians, the hatred and disgust of the Chinese towards foreigners made Conger frustrated. Since the Opium War, the achievements made by Westerners in China have been destroyed... half destroyed. Although the United States took the opportunity to gain the market, they wanted more than just the market.

"Mr. President," Conger sat casually on the chair, rubbed his palms, and complained, "Can't those people be executed secretly? Must... Well, let's not talk about this.

That’s it. The US government hopes to get a place where they can do business safely… No, it’s not a concession, but the current environment in China is really not very friendly to the United States…”

More than just unfriendly, the Chinese in the north hated all foreigners. Although the Americans sold a lot of food and industrial products, they were never allowed to enter the hinterland of Hebei and Shanxi. The compradors who helped the Americans were also regarded as traitors and were greatly restricted in various matters.

Lin Yongchang put down his pen and said, "Well, we are planning to buy equipment for an entire chemical plant from the United States. I wonder if this news can be considered friendly?"

Conger immediately dropped his complaints and said excitedly, "Of course!"

He had reason to be excited. He could get kickbacks from all the business, and he did it openly. He was not afraid of anyone causing trouble. The position of ambassador was bought with money. Didn't he come all the way to China just to make money?

"One factory isn't enough? How about buying a few more?"

Kangge was eager for the Chinese to buy more factory equipment. Anyway, they were all outdated technologies. The Americans copied the technologies of other powers without paying patent fees, and there was no obstacle to spreading the outdated technology. As long as they paid with real money, the Americans were willing to sell even large-caliber artillery.

It's just that the technology of the United States is too poor, and it can't be compared with the three countries of Britain, France and Germany. If it weren't for the fact that American goods are cheap, Lin Yongchang would not buy arms from the Americans. After the Boxer Rebellion, the Americans accelerated the development of new weapons and eliminated old rifles in the army on a large scale.

At this time, American weapons were slightly better than Japanese ones, but their reputation was not as good as the Russian Mosin-Nagant series. Apart from the Chinese, no other country was interested in them. Black uncles in Europe would buy some, but where was the purchasing power for African tribes? Anyone who could buy dozens of rifles was considered a big boss.

The Chinese import weapons in the tens of thousands, which is completely not on the same order of magnitude.

The Eight-Nation Alliance looted Beijing and North China, and all the looted items were finally owned by Marshal Lin, and later flowed to the United States, turning into corn, wheat and other food, as well as various equipment. In the Boxer Rebellion, all the coalition countries suffered a great loss, and only the United States made a profit.

"We don't have money!" Lin Yongchang said with emotion, "Let's build a chemical plant first. By the way, I heard that the United States has already used tractors for farming? China can have it too."

Tractors are much more efficient than cattle and horses in plowing the land. They can be used by the reclamation corps first. Training a group of tractor drivers is one aspect, and letting the army support itself is another. The country has a lot of waste to rebuild, and money is needed everywhere. Although a lot of money has been seized, Lin Yongchang always feels that there is not enough money to spend.

The new RMB was still being promoted, and the people were very suspicious of paper money. They were more accustomed to using silver and British pound, and even the US dollar and the British pound were not very popular. It was not that people were unpatriotic or did not support the new government, but that they were afraid of being cheated by the court in the past. Lin Yongchang could only issue RMB to the army and civil servants first, and give RMB preferential treatment when collecting taxes.

The people have sharp eyes and will spontaneously do anything that is beneficial.

Kanger was not very clear about tractors. He was not a farmer, so how could he know anything about tractors? But no matter what kind of machine it was, as long as it could be sold for money and he could get a commission, Kanger would dare to sell it! If a tractor factory had too few, they could just package and sell ten!

"No Money!"

Lin Yongchang lamented: "If you don't run a household, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. Now the government has 50 troops. I'm going bankrupt just on food every day!"

He originally wanted to give the soldiers an egg a day and meat twice a week, but because of lack of money, the soldiers' treatment standards were reduced again and again. When they were not fighting, they only had two kilograms of rice a day, and they could only eat once every two weeks. Also because of lack of money, the treatment of generals and officers was also reduced again and again, and finally they simply made "officers and soldiers one", so that officers and non-commissioned officers were treated the same as soldiers.

Why do we have to talk so much about ideals? Why do we have to get rid of the big landlords, big businessmen and other rentiers? Isn't it because of lack of money? Lin Yongchang actually did not have such lofty ideals, nor did he believe in ideals. He had seen what would happen when ideals were shattered, but the situation forced him to follow the path of his "predecessors".

In order to save money, he only eats three dishes and one soup per meal, and only when there are guests. When he is alone, he just does whatever he wants. It's not that he wants to show off, but he must lead by example to control the people around him and his subordinates. If he is a little extravagant and licentious here, the people below will dare to make a grand feast.

Many people were not used to President Lin's simple and frugal life. British Ambassador Donald thought that President Lin was just being hypocritical, but Conger appreciated it. America was founded by a group of Puritans, and they were not exactly the same as the British.

The decay of a country often starts from the upper class. The United States is also beginning to show signs of decay, but there are still many people who maintain traditions, and Conger is one of them. But appreciation is appreciation, and money still needs to be made. "The president can rent some land to American companies to open farms, so there will be no shortage of food."

"That's fine, as long as you abide by the law, we welcome American friends to open farms in Northeast China, and I will give you two years of tax exemption.

, another two and a half years of tax!"

Conger smiled. “Will the tax rate be the same as everyone else’s in four years?”

"Same!"

One of the weapons that Lin used to sweep across the north was the policy of "equal distribution of land and exemption of taxes". The land was nationalized and then distributed to farmers for free, which was considered "land belongs to those who till the land". Tax exemption was not achieved, but all kinds of levies and taxes were exempted, and agricultural taxes were also reduced to a very low level. If we could get a few million acres of land to cultivate on the black soil in the northeast, we would definitely make money.

The prerequisite is not to be exploited by the powerful.

"American companies coming here to open farms need to have a certain level of self-defense capabilities! We need to have our own guards, and if there are any disputes, they should be judged by Americans!"

"...Isn't this still a concession and extraterritoriality? This is absolutely unacceptable!"

Damn, who says Americans are honest? All Anglo-Saxons are the same, they are full of bad intentions!

Chapter 159 Seeking Advantages and Avoiding Harms

Diplomacy is always a troublesome matter. The diplomats in Europe and the United States are best at using the "salami slicing" tactic, which is to slice various interests into thin sausages, and then argue endlessly for such a small amount of profit. This kind of work is boring and troublesome, and it will make people exhausted.

After such a long period of work, Lin Yongchang's measurements have increased significantly, from "111" to "223", and his attributes have more than doubled. In addition, with the points given by various events, he is not short of points for the time being. He has purchased many skills, and his physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people. He will not feel tired even if he does not sleep for several days and nights. Even if he negotiates for ten days or half a month, he will still be energetic, but he does not have that much time.

Diplomacy is important, but personal development is more important. We still need specialized diplomatic talents to be responsible for diplomatic affairs. We sent people to Guangzhou to recruit Wu Tingfang, but Mr. Wu, together with Chen Qimei, Zhang Jian and others, formed the "Republican Unification Association". Well, it doesn't mean that he wants to stay in the South to be a guide for Marshal Lin. His republic is different from the "People's Republic" in the North. He wants to unite around Sun Yat-sen and realize the "Five Races Republic".

It would have been fine if Wu Tingfang didn't come, he even wrote back saying that he would only consider going north if Mr. Lin could agree that Sun Yat-sen should be the president.

Isn't this nonsense? How could Lin Yongchang invite Sun Yat-sen to be the president? How many divisions did he have?

Is Sun Yat-sen a good comrade? Of course he is! He is a "pioneer of revolution" as recorded in history books, but pioneers often make many mistakes and pay a bloody price. Sun Yat-sen has been committed to rebellion for decades. This persistence and spirit are admirable, but that's all.

He was not a hero like his mentor who "changed his fate against all odds", nor was he like Mr. Li Desheng who could "create the world". Sun Yat-sen was just a pioneer. Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao criticized him in newspapers, saying that he was a "remote revolutionary" and that Sun Yat-sen only asked others for money and then let others die. They also gave Sun Yat-sen a nickname called "Sun Cannon", saying that Sun Yat-sen could not do real work and could only fire big cannons.

This cannon is not that cannon. It does not mean that Sun Yat-sen is an artillery expert like Duan Qirui, but that Sun Yat-sen is full of big talk.

Kang Youwei was an old sly guy, he dared to say anything and did anything for his own benefit. He could only be listened to three times, but it also reflected from the side that Sun Yat-sen's reputation was not as high as it was in later generations. Sun Yat-sen was called a "revolutionary pioneer" not because of anything else, but because he won the Northern Expedition... half of it, his disciples overturned the Beiyang warlords and stepped onto the stage of history.

Victory is the most important thing, and history is like a little girl who can be dressed up by anyone. The Guangzhou group won for a while, and other heroes of the same era were drowned in the long river of history.

Since Wu Tingfang could not be recruited, Marshal Lin had to think of other ways. Lu Zhengxiang, the Chinese ambassador to Russia, was a good candidate. He had done many patriotic things in another time and space. Lin Yongchang had not thought of this person at first, but Wang Kaiyun, Yang Du's teacher, recommended him to President Lin and praised Lu Zhengxiang to the sky.

Wang Kaiyun also gave several major reasons: first, Lu Zhengxiang did not join any faction and had a good reputation; second, because he had worked in foreign missions for many years and was familiar with Western diplomacy, if Lu Zhengxiang was allowed to form the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it would bring a new atmosphere to China's diplomacy after the overthrow of the monarchy.

After receiving the telegram, Lu Zhengxiang resigned again and again, which made Lin Yongchang very unhappy. Did he want to learn from his uncle? He established a people's government, not a feudal dynasty! However, talents were rare, so he could only personally send a telegram to St. Petersburg to invite Lu Zhengxiang to return to China.

Seeing that President Lin was so understanding, Lu Zhengxiang put forward three conditions: the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs should be proficient in English; he, Lu, should not recommend people to his department, and his department should not recommend people to Lu; and no one else should interfere in the personnel affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

After receiving the call back, Lin Yongchang almost cursed out loud. Could it be that something like "kneeling to Taiwan" would also happen under his nose? If something went wrong in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, would the government not be able to intervene? Holding his nose, Lin Yongchang agreed to Lu Zhengxiang's request. Let's try it first. If it works well, let Lu Zhengxiang continue to work. If it doesn't work well, let him get out.

The public trials continued, with 500 foreigners being beheaded or hanged every day. The whole city of Beiping was filled with singing and dancing, with gongs and drums beating, just like the New Year. The celebrations continued.

It took thirteen days to try all the war criminals. Not all foreigners were killed. Some of them were sentenced to hard labor ranging from five to twenty years after public trials.

Of course, if the powers were willing to pay, hard labor could be replaced by deportation. Or if someone had a special skill, they could use their professional skills to replace hard labor. Engineers could work in factories and mines, officers could teach in military academies, and even those who knew how to shoe horses could find a job and earn fifty cents a month.

So, it is very important to master a skill. Even if you become a prisoner, you can live a better life.

During the more than ten days of the carnival, the crowd included Chinese, foreigners, diplomats from powerful countries, military attachés, northerners, southern governors and powerful envoys, many people who came from all over the country at their own expense, and some very special people - Japanese mercenaries.

During the public trial, Yamaguchi Sushin and his old subordinates were maintaining order. Seeing those once arrogant European and American devils crying and shouting as they were beheaded and hung on the gallows, Yamaguchi Sushin's mentality was extremely complicated. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Japanese were shaking. They believed that Big Brother was no longer capable, and it was their Yamato people who would lead East Asia in the future!

The war in North China pushed the Japanese back again. It was not because of Big Brother, but because of the previous imperial court. Big Brother was still watching them. Because of the defeat, Yamaguchi Sushin's home was often pelted with stones and was almost set on fire. He had no choice but to bring his family to China.

As a consultant, his salary is very high, the same as President Lin Yongchang, both of them are third-level salary, more than enough to support a family, better than in Japan. The central government of the People's Republic of China has stepped up its efforts in anti-corruption and cannot make extra money like in Japan.

Many of his subordinates also brought their families with them. After all, the Japanese and Chinese look similar, so it is very convenient for them to live in China. Lin Yongchang spent a lot of effort on improving the lives of soldiers. He thought that the treatment of officers and soldiers was too low, and they could only eat meat twice a month, but the Japanese did not think so.

After the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese government, the royal family, the warlords and the chaebols made a fortune, but the lives of the people on the Japanese archipelago did not get better, but worse. For the lower-class people in Japan, they had few options. Men could only serve in the army to get enough food, and women could only sell themselves in Southeast Asia. They did not get any of the war dividends, and exploitation became even more serious.

China's living standards were not high, and soldiers were treated badly, but that was a conclusion drawn by comparing with Europe and the United States. Compared with Japan, the treatment of the People's Army was more than twice as good. Japanese soldiers could only feed themselves, but working for Marshal Lin not only fed themselves, but also fed their parents, wives and children at home.

People seek benefits and avoid harm. Since the treatment on Marshal Lin's side is better, many people simply don't want to go back, and they will secretly bring their families to China. What? You said they are Japanese? This needs to be explained! Many former Japanese soldiers said that they are actually Chinese, and they went to Japan in the late Ming, Song, and Tang periods, and now they are just returning to their roots!

There are no Japanese or Yamato people!

Chapter 160 Kulun

Peking was massacred by the Eight-Nation Alliance. After the People's Government took over Peking, it confiscated many properties of the former nobles and moved the capital to Taiyuan. The permanent population in this ancient city was reduced by more than half, and it seemed much more empty and desolate.

It is now the middle of winter, and although the snow on the streets has been cleared by the soldiers, it is still very cold. During the days of the public trial of the foreign devils, the streets were very busy, but after the bustle, there were fewer people on the streets. Everyone squatted on the kang to warm themselves by the fire. It was not because they had no choice, but because no one wanted to go out in this weather.

Many people freeze to death in Beijing every year. Now that there is a new government, the cold weather will still freeze people to death. Celebrate the New Year, celebrate the New Year. In ancient times, "Nian" was a terrifying evil beast. Celebrating the New Year meant surviving the threat of death. When spring comes and flowers bloom, most people can be thankful that they have escaped this disaster and can enjoy another three seasons of good times.

Cold, like hunger, has been a great enemy of mankind since ancient times. However, these two things are only vicious to the poor, and are not vicious at all to the rich and powerful.

In the mansion of the former Prince Qing, the charcoal fire in the brazier was burning very vigorously, and the room was as warm as spring. After the property was confiscated by the government, it was distributed to the leader of the Mongolians in the south of the desert, Oerleheke, who was also the father of Wuyun Qiqige. Oerleheke is now the leader of the Mongolian princes in the south of the desert, managing the business between the Han area and the Mongolian grasslands. In fact, he did nothing, and it was his subordinates who did the work. He was just responsible for eating and drinking.

But who can blame him for his good fortune? He was destined to be a prince when he was born. When the imperial court collapsed, he had already made early investments and had connections with the new government. His youngest daughter was President Lin's fiancée. In today's Beiping, everyone looked up to Prince Oerle and Ke. Even the mayor of Beiping, Mr. Wang Wu, had to be polite to him and dared not neglect him.

No matter how much Lin Yongchang changed, the Central People's Republic Government was established on the ruins of the old era after all, and inevitably inherited many things from the old era, both the essence and the dregs.

Well, they were all inherited together.

The matter of the foreign prisoners of war was almost dealt with, and Lin Yongchang had a rare moment of leisure. Before returning to Taiyuan, he would live in the home of his cheap father-in-law. Lin Yongchang himself did not have much money. His salary was not small, enough for his own food, and he also had some royalties and patent fees, but he donated all the money to the "Veterans Association". He was very poor, and now that he was at the home of Orelhek, he began to eat meat as much as possible.

Beef, mutton, pork, venison, horse meat, etc., Marshal Lin accepted everything and ate two or three pounds at first, almost frightening Oerlehek to death. Even the most gluttonous Mongolians couldn't eat so much! Oerlehek doubted whether Marshal Lin would burst himself. When Lin Yongchang ordered another portion of braised pork elbow, he couldn't help but persuade him: "Mr. President, why don't you take a rest first? There are many cattle and sheep at home, and there will be food tomorrow. Otherwise, I will send you dozens of cattle, enough to eat for several months."

"Mmmm!" Lin Yongchang chewed a few times and swallowed the beef. Then he patted his belly and said contentedly, "I'm about 80% full now. I can take a break now."

This is only 80% full? If you want to be full, don't you have to eat a cow?

Lin Yongchang called out to several guards, "Eat, eat as much as you can. This is a Mongolian prince. He has tens of thousands of cattle and sheep at home. Don't think about saving money for him!"

The guards would definitely not starve if they followed Lin Yongchang, but they could not eat meat every meal. Now that they had the chance, they did not have to worry about the various rules and regulations, and they ate as much as they could. However, their fighting ability was not good, and each of them could not eat any more after eating a few pounds of beef and mutton.

Wutaihe, the eldest son of Erlehek, said with a smile: "Let someone drive the cattle and sheep to Longcheng tomorrow, so that my brother-in-law can eat meat every day in the future!"

Lin Yongchang waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I have to set an example myself and not ask for special treatment."

Wu Taihe said disapprovingly: "It's just some cattle and sheep, it's nothing serious."

"Alas, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will definitely be crooked."

Lin Yongchang rinsed his mouth, sat down on the kang behind the screen in the inner room with Orelhek, and began to talk about some business. "Send a few people to talk to Kulun and tell them to stop making trouble. Isn't the government's policy good enough for them? Do they have to follow the Russians? The Russians have always been ruthless!"

Oerlehek put away his smile and said helplessly: "We have sent several groups of people, but Barto insisted on making trouble, and I couldn't convince them. They don't want to become Russians, but want to establish an independent Mongolia. They also said that they want to elect a Mongolian emperor."

"Hey, now that the world is falling apart, heroes are rising up. Those who think they are heroes will not miss such an opportunity. There are many such people among the Han people, and there are also many among the Mongolians."

Oerlehek explained: "I am loyal to the government and I am patriotic!"

Of course he loves his country. The life he is living now is something he could not have imagined in the past. He is not a tough guy like Zeng Gelinqin. How could he have imagined that he could own a large house in Beiping? Even a brave man like Zeng Gelinqin died at the hands of the Nian Army. War means death!

Oerlehek was very clear about his abilities. If he were thirty years younger, he might have been able to ride on a horse and go to war with a sword in hand. But he was old now, and being able to indulge in fine wine and beautiful women every day was already his lifelong wish.

There were brisk footsteps on the snow outside, and Meng En and Wuyun Qiqige walked in with snow all over their bodies.

Lin Yongchang greeted the two men and said, "I know that you are patriotic, and I know that you care about the friendship between you and Barto, but the government cannot watch Kulun continue to mess around. The government is not able to spare any time right now. If a few years pass, it will not be as simple as a reprimand. Your Majesty, please explain it clearly to them, and don't blame me for being ruthless later."

"Yes, yes! I will explain it to them clearly."

In fact, Oerlehek was a little afraid of Lin Yongchang. His cheap son-in-law seemed to be very kind to everyone, but when he got angry, he was more ruthless than anyone else. A few days ago, six or seven thousand foreign devils were publicly tried and executed. No one would think that President Lin was a kind person who could be bullied. There were also Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu of the previous dynasty. Although the government issued a notice saying that it was Dong Fuxiang's Gansu Army that did it, the truth could not be hidden. Dorjee and Sangji and other Tibetans went to the Mongolian grasslands. Oerlehek had heard some rumors.
