Beijing.
In the presidential palace of Iron Lion Hutong, it is more incomplete. The light threw two almost motionless figures on the wall.
After a long time, Yuan Shikai sighed deeply and said, "The foreigner can't cure the madman Li this time, and Tibet has become his bag again. Crazy Li has repeatedly won in diplomacy, just like a national hero, and his reputation can't be suppressed. Beijing and Wuchang are competing for the reputation of the people, and they must make the things in Outer Mongolia more beautiful than Tibet..."
Yuan Keding, who was sitting opposite Yuan Shikai, moved uneasily and said, "After Lu Zhengxiang was reinstated as the head of foreign affairs, he sent a telegram to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to announce the appointment of the head of foreign affairs again, and hoped that they would start discussing relevant issues between the two countries on the basis of good-neighborliness and mutual respect. The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately telegramed, saying that the friendship between the two countries is harmonious. Although the Mongolian issue has occurred recently, it is very small, and it is not difficult to negotiate and solve it in a friendly atmosphere. Lu Zhengxiang personally went to the Russian Embassy to ask for the start of negotiations. At the same time, he telegramed the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, saying that since the Russian government was willing to resume negotiations in a friendly atmosphere, he hoped that Russia would first cancel the Russo-ku Treaty. After that, the Russian side did not reply to this..."
Yuan Shikai "hum" and blew up his beard. He sneered and said, "The old hair is extremely vicious. How can he agree so easily?"
"What should I do?" Yuan Keding was completely at a loss.
"It's impossible to do something more beautiful than Tibet," Yuan Shikai lamented again. "But at least I have to strive to cancel the independence of Outer Mongolia. This is my lowest bottom line."
After saying that, Yuan Shikai has never been decadent.
Lu Zhengxiang received Yuan Shikai's "taste" and immediately took action. First of all, a Chinese and foreign press conference was held in Beijing to talk about the diplomatic situation and spy on the attitude of the great powers on the incident.
Lu Zhengxiang is completely Westernized. He sent such a letter to reporters of various newspapers:
"... With auspicious body, he regained the drama. He met with the diplomatic corps and went to the State Council and other places, and there was no time to talk calmly. The insider plans to meet the guests in the apartment at five o'clock on Sunday. If you accept the visit, please come, which is what I am looking forward to.
This is a tribute to Taiqi. Lu Zhengxiangqi."
Such a date letter is really special in the semi-new and semi-old society in Beijing a hundred years ago.
Lu Zhengxiang's wife is French and is famous as the "flower of the diplomatic world". On the day of the date, Mrs. Lu sat on a wooden carved chair in the middle of the living room. Mr. Lu introduced the guest to her. She greeted the guests in pure Parisian. Then the reporters gathered around Lu Zhengxiang to talk about the diplomatic situation.
Lu Zhengxiang smiled and said, "After taking office, I have met with the Russian envoy four times. I'm talking about the withdrawal of troops from both sides, and there is no progress in other negotiations."
Lu Zhengxiang said that he has negotiated with the Russian envoy four times. According to the news reporter, the four negotiations are as: the first time is Lu Zhengxiang's request for Russia to cancel the Russian-Mongolia Treaty, and the Russian envoy asked China to recognize the Russian-Mongolian Treaty; the second time is that the Russian envoy said that Russia has gained real power in Mongolia and there is no need for China to recognize it, but the Russian side Respecting friendship is why he negotiates with China. The third time, Lu Zhengxiang said that the Sino-Russian negotiations must be within the scope of not damaging China's territorial rights and sovereignty, while the Russian envoy said that China recognizes Mongolia's autonomy, and Russia is willing to recognize China's territorial rights. The fourth time, according to the Russian envoy Cobdo's consul called China's entry into the city, so the two sides decided Negotiate how to withdraw troops.
In fact, the international situation is urgent due to the Balkans, so foreign journalists pay more attention to Europe and do not pay serious attention to the disputes between Outer Mongolia and Tibet. Of course, they have the greatest ambition for China, except for Japan, which is close to China.
......
Wuchang.
The maple trees in the open space in front of the ice hall were shaking in the whistle, and the red leaves drifted.
The negotiations in the house have entered the final stage.
Li wanted to push the draft of the peace treaty to Xia Zha and said without a doubt, "This is my last statement. Under the unified leadership of the Ezhou People's Government, the Tibetan people have the power to implement regional ethnic autonomy. For the current political system in Tibet, Ezhou promises not to change it. Regarding various reform matters in Tibet, Ezhou is not forced, and the local government of Tibet should automatically carry out reform. When the people put forward reform requirements, they must adopt the west. The method negotiated by Tibetan leaders is to solve this problem. As for other terms, they can't be changed!"
Xia Zha's beard trembled slightly and said, "We in Tibet admit that it is Chinese territory, but we do not agree with the revolutionary army going in. The reason is that the east and north of Tibet are connected to the inland, and only the southwest is adjacent to India. India has no intention to invade Tibet. If there is something wrong with the border, inviting the revolutionary army can also expand and compile the Tibetan army into a part of the revolutionary army. To the outside world, Tibet already has a revolutionary army.
Xia Za still wants to make the final struggle.
"Tibet is a part of the motherland. In order to protect national defense and security and prevent the imperialist invasion, it is necessary for the revolutionary army to enter Tibet." Zeng Gao, the highest officer of the staff, said, "It is undeniable that the empire invaded Tibet. India is powerless to invade Tibet, but what about their master, the righteousness of the British Empire? The local government of Tibet did not have national defense in the past (the Tibetan army was deployed to the mainland), and now it is not easy to build national defense. The transportation in Tibet is inconvenient. Once something happens, it is difficult for the army to drive in in time. As for the transformation of the Tibetan army into the National Revolutionary Army, it is no problem. Everyone knows that the combat effectiveness of the Tibetan army is not strong. Since it recognizes that Tibet is Chinese territory and does not welcome the strong National Revolutionary Army to defend national defense, isn't this a contradiction!"
"It is the established policy of the Military Commission to enter Tibet," Li Xiping's words were strong and directly expressed the toughness of the Hubei army: "Tibet is an inseparable part of our Chinese territory, and all China must be restored. The entry of the National Revolutionary Army into Tibet is beneficial to the Tibetans and the whole country. The Ezhou People's Government helps ethnic minorities recover from the invasion of the empire. Tibet is an outpost of China's southwest national defense, and it needs a strong national defense garrison.
Looking at the sweaty Xia Zha, Li Xiang smiled with a gentle smile and said in a soothing tone: "The National Revolutionary Army is an army with discipline and love for the people of all ethnic groups, and it has always been like this. The National Revolutionary Army entering Tibet does not want local supply from Tibet, and the Tibetan people have no burden. At present, Britain, India and other countries do not recognize that the entry of the National Revolutionary Army into Tibet is China's internal affairs and has nothing to do with Britain and India. Moreover, we recognize Dani's status. I have congratulated him on returning to power from India. If he still wants to go to India for exile, he will lose his current status.
"It is our right and duty to defend our motherland and justice to enter Tibet." Then, Li Xiang made another analysis, "Generally people may have three ideas. First, they think that Tibet is not a part of China. Second, they want to see how the international situation is. Third, they suspect that the National Revolutionary Army entered Tibet to rectify the Tibetans, which are unrealistic. If you want to do it, it's easier to do it by fighting, and there will be no peace negotiations.
Xia's eyelids jumped straight. Instead of being comforted to the frightened heart, he was scared even more.
"Our delegation has no right to decide..." Xia Za said tremblingly.
Li wanted to take out his pocket watch and took a look and said, "I want to remind you that our elite division led by General Liu Jing is already stationed in Lhasa at this time!" If our negotiations break down now, the Tiger and Wolf Division of the National Revolutionary Army will immediately launch a fierce attack on you! I keep saying that our soldiers enter Tibet with guns and Hada. Don't let the white Hada slip into the dust in our soldiers' hands!"
is a nud threat, but I'm also worried that Hubei soldiers can really do it.
He seems to have seen the blazing fire in the Potala Palace...
Seeing the sad and panicked face of Dani Buddha's exile in India again...
Xia Zha's empty teeth bumped and said, "Why is Marshal Li like this? Aren't we talking?"
"There's nothing to talk about!" Li wanted to have a warm face and became impatient. He pressed five fingers that were worn out of the calluses by the gun on the peace treaty and shouted rudely, "Do you just say yes, or not agree?"
Li wants to feel that his line is about to become an idiom.
Seeing that Li wanted to change his face, Xia Zha sighed and took the draft of the peace treaty with a few thin pages of paper. The pen was as heavy as a thousand catties. He picked it up easily and was about to write it down, but he put it down again.
Xia Zha asked, "Can the number of people in the revolutionary army be less?"
Li wanted to say categorically, "No. The troops entering Tibet are an army, stationed on the national defense line and traffic arteries, which can no longer be less.
Xia Za said, "Can you station fewer troops in Lhasa?"
Li thought, "There are only a small number of troops stationed in Lhasa. How can there be less?"
Xia Zha asked, "Can't the Tibetan army adapt immediately?"
Li thought, "No. The adaptation of the Tibetan army will be carried out in a planned and step-by-step manner. Regarding this matter, the Hubei District Government can also take care of it as much as possible according to the actual situation. In order to show the sincerity of the Hubei District Government, the "Regulations on Several Matters of the People's Liberation Army's Entry into Tibet" can be controlled by both sides.
Xia Zha said, "Article 8 (the reform of the old system in Tibet), can it be proposed by the local government of Tibet first and then discussed with the people?"
Li Xiang shook his head: "No."
......
The Agreement between the People's Government of Hubei and the Local Government of Tibet on Measures for the Peaceful Restoration of Tibet was officially signed in Wuchang.
Marshal Li held a banquet in Baobing Hall to celebrate the signing of the agreement. Representatives of the two sides and Panchen Lama were invited to participate, and more than 180 people from all walks of life from home and abroad attended.
Li Xiang said in a speech: "Now, the power led by the Dani Lama and the power led by Panchen Lama are united with the Hubei District People's Government. This is the victory achieved by the Chinese people after defeating the empire and the domestic reactionary rule.
As soon as the voice fell, the applause was like thunder.
Artists under the Times Entertainment Media performed entertainment programs, including Tibetan dances and folk songs, as well as two classic songs, "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" and "Hometown" plagiarized by Li Xiang.
The next day, the agreement was officially announced. On the same day, the People's Daily published an editorial entitled "Supporting the Agreement on Measures for the Peaceful Restoration of Tibet", pointing out that the signing of the agreement marks that the Tibetan nation has got rid of the aggression and fetters of imperial righteousness, and is the first step for the Tibetan people to move from darkness and pain to light and happiness.
After the announcement of the "Agreement between the People's Government of Hubei District and the Local Government of Tibet on Measures for the Peaceful Restoration of Tibet", people in many parts of the country gathered or marched to warmly celebrate the return of Tibet to the mainland.
