136 boiling like a tide
In the Governor's Office of East Java Province, the gate was closed, and more policemen were sent in front of the door than usual, one by one, as if facing a big enemy.
The Dutch police chief of Suraya came in a sedan-style four-wheeled carriage, personally led the investigation team and a small number of military police to guard the governor's mansion, and asked about the intention of the Chinese rally and march.
The Chinese immediately handed him the leaflet and pointed to the leaflet and said, "The difficulties are all here. You can see it at a glance, and there is nothing to repeat."
The Dutch police chief was very arrogant. After reading the leaflet, he said to the Chinese: "I'm afraid I can't petition and march in front of the governor's house without informing the governor's office in advance. I am here by the order of the Governor's Office of East Java Province. Please disband as soon as possible. If you have anything to do, you can introduce a representative to deal with it.
The people were united as one, refused this unreasonable interference and shouted, "You can't control our actions today. Call the governor out!"
In the face of angry people, the Dutch police chief saw that the situation was not good, so he was both soft and hard. He opened his voice and enlightened the crowd in unfamiliar Chinese: "In the previous incident, Dutch and India only banned illegal gatherings in Surat, which was not specifically aimed at Chinese people. There are many inexhaustible things contained in each newspaper. I hope that the Chinese will temporarily discuss the Netherlands and India, and don't confuse the public. It's very hot today. Please go back and have a rest!"
Not long after noon, the weather in Nanyang is really hot. However, the Chinese's unwillingness to be slaves is even hotter. Therefore, the persuasion of the Dutch police chief did not have any effect, but was reprimanded by the Chinese.
"The sophism!"
"Hand over the murderer!"
......
The Dutch police chief said in a threatening tone: "In order to reach the Dutch and Indian authorities, the Chinese are so angry that they are afraid that it will be beneficial to negotiate in Surat. Hurry up and disperse, disperse! If it is against it, it will be investigated!"
Everyone refused to break up and shouted slogans.
"Release my arrested compatriots!"
"Compensation for the loss of my property!"
......
The Dutch police chief's face changed again, and he threatened fiercely and shouted, "I came under the order of the governor, and the Chinese parade must be disbanded."
"Compensation for the victim!"
The Chinese people shouted slogans.
"Restore human rights and abolish all acts that discriminate against Chinese!"
......
"Won't you break up? Come on! Expel them!" The Dutch police chief looked ferocious.
When the foreign soldiers heard the order, they desperately pushed them out with the butt of their guns, and the surrounding indigenous police also beat them with batons. They just hugged their heads.
Everyone shouted: "We will wait here and disperse after replying to the letter. If we expel by tough means, although we die, we will never disperse!"
At this time, the military and police were about to hit people with foreign guns, and everyone began to disperse, like a tide, and countless people were injured.
Li Xiang and others behind the parade saw the sudden **, and the foreign soldiers and police shouted.
Wang Jingwei was so scared that he trembled: "The foreign police are violent again?"
Li Xiang ignored him, pushed away the crowd and walked forward quickly. On the head-on, he saw a Chinese young man suddenly squeezed into the road desperately. Later, an indigenous policeman chased him with a gun and hit him with a gun handle. The indigenous man broke the gun with so hard force. The Chinese young man fell to the ground injured and spit blood and water.
Before Li Xiang had time to color, Song Que had already rushed over, followed by seven or eight golden eagle guards.
After Song Que ran, he jumped and his Scud went straight to the most fierce native. The small body of the indigenous monkey was kicked out by Song Que!
The Dutch foreign soldiers also reacted quickly and immediately blocked them with gunstocks. The Golden Eagles are not vegetarian. I'm used to following Li to the wind. My mind is full of the honorary spirit of the soldiers that Li wants to instill. Suddenly, they faced each other, and some local people showed their bayonets and confronted the foreign soldiers.
The indigenous policeman, wearing a rattan shell hat, stood beside the foreign soldiers and coaxed.
The Chinese had Jin Yingwei standing up behind his back, and immediately became aggressive and began to forcibly break into the gate of the Governor's Mansion. Foreign soldiers and indigenous police stopped him, and the two sides pushed and tore...
The Chinese people's emotions are out of control. Some shout and scold, and some actually pick up the stones on the ground and throw them...
A member of the Governor's Office finally came out to meet the Chinese representative.
The Governor of the Netherlands heard a faint whisper of "restoring human rights and repealing all acts that discriminate against Chinese people!!" The slogan.
"What the hell!" He scolded in his heart, squeezed a smile on his face, and reluctantly held Li Xiang's hand.
In front of the negotiation table, Li wants to sit in the west-facing first position of the negotiation table, with a small coffee table next to him, sitting Wang Jingwei and another Chinese translator and registrar. Opposite them sat the Dutch negotiators in turn.
At both ends of the table are the four mediation groups of the United Kingdom, the United States, France and Japan participating in the negotiations.
At the beginning of the negotiations, the Dutch governor said coldly and claimed, "The affairs of the two countries are all contained in the treaty. The government of the Republic of China also recognized the contract made by the former Qing Dynasty before Xinhai. Now it is only true and cannot be changed."
In order to overthrow the treaty of humiliating the country set by the former Qing Dynasty, Li Xiang did not flinch and solemnly pointed out: "Any country's contract must be implemented with the ratification of the two countries. Now there are some difficulties, which can be discussed again."
Li Xiang also cited the Nanyang Chinese workers' complaint and foreign reports, accusing the Dutch and Indian government of allowing all kinds of torture against Chinese workers.
"The barbarism of the Dutch Empire shocked the world! Wearing a civilized mask reveals his barbaric nature all the time!"
The Dutch governor immediately denied the allegations of cruel abuse: "The Chinese workers' complaints presented by Marshal Li are all empty words and are not enough. Newsprint rumors everywhere are untrue, fabricated rumors, can't be trusted. He stated, "The Dutch and Indian governments are committed to improving the welfare of Chinese workers by passing a series of decrees."
Li wanted to refute and said, "The Dutch and Indian government regulations are not enough!" And he said in a tough tone, "China can't promise anyone who harms China."
Li Xiang's tough attitude made the Dutch people present ashamed and angry.
The pride of the Caucasians made the senior adviser of the Governor's Office rise up: "It seems that we are going to maintain the treaty with cannons!"
The adjutant of the governor's office who participated in the negotiations shouted, "It's better to fight again!"
For this threat, Li Xiang shouted awe-inspiringly, "I think China is a big country. Hearing this threatening words, I can't let it go anymore!" ...China does not want to have a war. If unfortunately, the Chinese people may not want to fight a war." He was also full of national pride and proudly declared, "The Chinese people are patient and hard. Even if the first war may not be won, China is the largest place. Although it has been decades, it can still support it."
......
In the bathroom, Henry and Ryohei Uchida are in Xiao Jie.
Ryohei Uchida asked in a chatty tone, "What is Ambassador Henry's comment on Li Xiang's comments just now?"
Thinking of Li Xiang's unyielding attitude, American Consul Henry sighed, "I firmly believe that I can't have any more unrealistic illusions about the young Marshal Li. He is very arrogant and familiar with world politics. The demonstration of the Dutch did not scare him.
At the Presidential Palace of Tieshiji Hutong, all the cabinet members of Beijing Yuan Shikai's government held an emergency meeting here to discuss how to deal with the trend of rejection.
Everyone was here, but no one squeaked.
Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi took a look at Yuan Shikai, who closed his eyes and couldn't help it. She said anxiously to the cabinet member, "Are you talking?"
Yuan Shikai's new government is eager and needs the recognition of the great powers. Isn't it to smash Yuan Shikai's stall to make such a mess at this time?
The cabinet members are silent.
Tang Shaoyi had to say to Cai Yuanpei, the president of education, "Cai Lao, it seems that only a few of the most violent students have been arrested?"
"No! Patriotic innocence! Patriotic students are innocent!" Cai Yuanpei resolutely refused.
"The Dutch minister has come to negotiate aggressively, and other foreign countries of the mission are also expressing concern. Can we dismiss Li Xiang's member of the Surabaya negotiation case, or calm the incident as soon as possible?" Tang Shaoyi took another step back.
"I think it's difficult to dismiss Marshal Li..." Cai Yuanpei said, "... This diplomatic incident is related to the lives of the country and the people. The People's Daily has shaken the world, and the people are boiling. It is said that our Republic of China is not a weak Qing court, but now we have made such concessions to a small country in the Netherlands. So how can we explain it to the world? I also know that those guys of the mission want to take advantage of the fire to rob a lot, and there are really few people who are like the Netherlands. This is the first negotiation of the Republic of China. If it fails, there will be a lot of foreign insults. How many countries will have to make concessions?
Tang Shaoyi suddenly became angry: "This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. Do you want to make another fist chaos and give foreigners an excuse to destroy China?
Tang Shaoyi secretly glanced at Yuan Shikai. He still didn't say a word. Li Xiang was the same as what Yuan Shikai did in North Korea - Hu Lai.
In today's China, there are signs of volcanic eruptions everywhere.
......
Li Xiang stood in front of the Dutch governor's mansion like a hero, **opening:
"So, descendants of Yan and Huang, my compatriots: In today's negotiations, Britain, France and other countries proposed to me, my alliance, and my national government... I resolutely rejected their unreasonable request! I never believe in the assistance of foreigners! Never! I never believe in so-called aid from outside our country and nation! The future of the Chinese nation depends on our people! We can only rely on our people! The Chinese people, the sacred descendants of the Chinese nation, must overcome all difficulties with their diligence, wisdom, calmness and courage! Only in this way can our country move forward and our nation be revitalized! The only purpose of those so-called diplomatic and non-political aid is to destroy the good situation of our country and corrupt our nation's will to fight! In those so-called international organizations and agreements, there are also hidden evil purposes! ... The alliance under the leadership of Mr. Sun Yat-sen will only strive for the survival and development of the Chinese people! Those our eternal enemies, the eternal enemies of the Chinese nation, can only be lies flowing out of their tongues! Any attempt to cooperate with them is a betrayal and crime against the Chinese nation! Betrayal and crime! We will fight against these shameless and evil enemies to the end! Fight to the end! Forever! ... We have overcome countless difficulties and achieved countless achievements. There is no power in the world that can stop us! The final victory will belong to the Chinese people! ......"
Tsunami-like applause and cheers ran through his whole speech.
