Chapter 294

Today is different from the past (please vote!)

"For thousands of years, in the east of the world, along the Yellow River Basin, Huaihe River Basin and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the Han people have created and worked hard on this piece of yellow land. For thousands of years, with the efforts of this great ethnic group, we have built the world's largest

The most developed farming civilization gave birth to and promoted the brilliant achievements of ancient China in the field of science and technology.//qВ5//. The scientific and technological achievements represented by the "four great inventions" of printing, papermaking, gunpowder, and the compass have played an important role in the development of world civilization.

Made outstanding contributions.

The important position of the four great inventions in the history of human civilization is one of the signs that China has become an ancient civilization, and it has made great progress for China. For more than a thousand years after the 5th century, Europe was in a feudal society. During this long period

During this period, China's science and technology has been developing forward and has been leading the entire world. During that 1,200 years, the Han people and the Central Plains were the centers of civilization and science.

It was not until the 15th and 16th centuries that Europe got rid of Catholic control and the birth of liberalism, which completely liberated European thought and academic circles, and modern natural science in Europe was born. It advanced by leaps and bounds, surpassing China and leading the world. Europeans used the compass to pioneer

During the Age of Discovery, the use of gunpowder led the world into the Age of Firearms.

At this time, China experienced the pain of Jiashen's subjugation. The Han people, who had been leading the world's civilization, died at the hands of foreign cavalry due to civil strife. Subsequently, two hundred and sixty-seven years of colonial slavery, the "hair-shaving order" almost wiped out all

The blood of this nation was lost, and the literary inquisition spiritually castrated the civilization of this nation. Barbarism replaced civilization with a butcher's knife. During the two hundred and sixty-seven years of slavery, the Han nation degenerated from an advanced and civilized nation into a backward and ignorant nation.

A semi-civilized nation.

As the British envoy Macartney said: As Europe advances every day in the fields of art and science, they are actually becoming semi-barbarians...In the end, it will fall back into barbarism and poverty. From this, China

Scientific development has always lagged behind Western countries. In the end, Western powers used the compass and gunpowder invented by China to directly attack China...

When the world enters the 20th century and China ushered in national independence, some people can't help but ask what China invented?

Faced with this question, perhaps many people will remain silent. After all, we have lagged behind the world for 267 years. But here, I can answer you. After China ushered in national independence, the Chinese people and the Han people in China

People immediately answered this question with an invention that could change the world - radio

The world’s first practical radio”

Shanghai, October 2, the second year of the Republic of China

Broadcasting, for most Chinese people, is a new product. A year ago, when company employees set up "black boxes" and loudspeakers on the streets of provincial capitals and large and medium-sized cities across the country, it was not like that.

When news and music came out from the "black box" for the first time, the whole of China was shocked. After learning that this was a Chinese invention, newspapers from all over the country published articles to express their congratulations.

However, it was after the "Jiao'ao Incident" that broadcasting really entered thousands of households. Faced with the different opinions from all walks of life across the country on Jiangsu's independent recovery of Jiao'ao, Li Zicheng, as the leader of the incident, responded to the dissatisfaction of all parties.

To understand and question, branches in various places placed many radios on both sides of the road. These black boxes attracted many curious citizens. After a radio speech, the entire public opinion changed. For the first time, radio showed

Its powerful ability to influence public opinion in special circumstances.

In Lianyungang, there is an iron tower in Yuntai Mountain. That is the Lianyun Radio Station. In the past two months, the sound coming from here is changing the country. Every day, from six in the morning to eight in the night, fourteen hours a day.

Intermittent broadcasts include the latest battle reports from the front line, news about battlefield heroes, passionate patriotic songs, and of course Li Zicheng’s speech. In short, it is almost imperceptible that the voice coming from here is changing every aspect of this country.

"Yesterday, our army..."

In the studio, Zhao Qi, who is nicknamed "Lianyunzhi", kept thinking about the press release in his hand. This press release was written by the "writing pen" of the Office of the Office of General Manager after spending the whole night. As a press release

After being sent to the radio station, the entire radio station was boiling. This was an unprecedented victory, a decisive victory.

It is for this reason that Zhao

Only then would she carefully consider the tone of each word in order to announce such a big news to all the people in the most perfect tone. In the past two months, as the main announcer of the radio station, she has been working at a high load,

But in her opinion, this is her battlefield. Almost every day, she uses her steady voice to spread the news of victory to every corner of China, bringing hope and joy to people. In fact, her voice has already

Victory is linked.

Finally, after Zhao Qi figured out the voice of each word, a staff member from the radio station knocked on the door of the lounge.

"Zhao, are you ready?" No skipping words.

Taking a deep breath, like a soldier entering the battlefield, Zhao Qi entered the studio and stood in front of the microphone with a script. After the operator behind the window made a gesture to her, she took a breath and

, pointed her mouth at the carbon crystal microphone, and used her calm, yet joyful voice to publish this belated war communiqué:

"Citizens of the Republic of China"

This time, unlike usual, she changed her previous title. In fact, in her opinion, the news was worth it, and then she started to speak.

"We interrupted the scheduled program to report some shocking news to you.

In the past few days, every patriotic citizen has been paying attention to this place, to Lianyungang, to us and the fate of the country. After the Japanese army suffered a painful lesson in Jiaoao, this country with the most powerful power in Asia

In order to reverse the tide of the war, the countries with the maritime fleet formed a second army aimed at occupying Lianyun to end the war, and also sent their most powerful warships,"

At this time, when the news came out on the radio, the whole of China fell into silence. Indeed, during the period, everyone was paying attention to the news and Lianyungang. In their view, the huge fleet seemed unstoppable.

The victorious ones, through the newspapers, said that Lianyungang, as a commercial port, was different from Qingdao in that there were no solid fortresses or even coastal defense guns. What did they use to stop the Japanese army and navy's attack?

How powerful the enemy they need to face is, everyone

"Yesterday, when the Japanese invasion fleet invaded our Lianyungang port in China, our Jiangsu Army achieved a huge victory in the battle, an unprecedented and huge victory."

victory

On both sides of the street, in restaurants, teahouses, and in the homes of the rich, everyone who was listening to the battle report before the radio was stunned at the same time, a victory? Did Lianyungang repel the Japanese fleet?

"In this fierce battle to protect the country, the battle cruiser "King Kong", the most proud of the Japanese Imperial Navy, was sunk in a powerful attack launched by our Jiangsu Army Air Force, and all the crew members on the ship were killed.

on the bottom of the sea. After its other ship, the battlecruiser Hiei, was shot in many places, it also followed in its footsteps and sank in the Yellow Sea. The remaining Japanese warships scattered in order to avoid being annihilated and fled for their lives.

The battleships "Tsukuba" and "Kurama" were also sunk or severely damaged. Subsequently, our brave and fearless Army Air Force attacked the First Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy, which was escorting the main force of the Japanese Army's Second Army.

The team launched an attack. During the attack, the "Settsu", "Kawachi", "An Yun", and "Satsuma" were also sunk by our invincible air force. The army troops they escorted also suffered heavy losses during the attack.

, this time, our invincible aviation fleet planned to sink all eight of its main battleships, four cruisers, two destroyers, and 73 troop transport merchant ships during the battle, severely damaging..."

After reporting the results, Zhao Qi raised her voice, her pretty face was filled with joy, and she spoke in a beaming tone.

"In this way, tens of thousands of Japanese army and navy soldiers were buried on the sea of ​​China. This is the inevitable fate of the invaders. Here, please let us extend our heartfelt congratulations to the heroic Army Air Force officers and soldiers. It is precisely because of their

battle, our country has ushered in this unprecedented victory."

In an instant, the news spread to thousands of households and all cities, streets, schools, factories, and villages throughout China. In this unprecedented victory, people were overjoyed, running around telling each other, cheering, and shouting

It seemed that after this battle, they saw the future, and more people seemed to see the rise of a powerful country.

At the root of Huangcheng, in Houyingzi Hutong, there is a big house with three entrances and three exits. This big house once belonged to a banner man and nobleman. This man had great achievements in his ancestors, but in this generation, before the Manchu Qing Dynasty was completed, the family was almost in ruins.

, after the founding of the Republic of China, the debts of the house were quickly paid off, and it was bought by the government last year.

Nowadays, although the people living in this mansion are not high-ranking officials, most of the people in the capital know that the people living in this mansion are extraordinary. They are a group of "rebels" with guilty bodies-core figures of the Chinese Party.

Most people live here, but the sign hanging on the door of the house at this time is "European Affairs Research Association".

After the outbreak of the First World War, Li Gengen, a Kuomintang member of the Huangxing faction in Tokyo, and others initiated the "European Affairs Research Society" in August 1914 to gather colleagues to discuss the impact of the European War on China's situation and explore ways to save the country.

The purpose is to make good policies. Those who joined the association include Li Genyuan, Hu Ying, Li Liejun, Xiong Kewu, Yin Ruli, Lin Hu, Cheng Qian, Cheng Zikai, Chen Jiongming, Li Shucheng, Shen Junru, Chen Duxiu, Zhang Shizhao, Zhang Yaozeng and others.

After the "Jiao'ao Incident", in the face of the Japanese invasion, the European Affairs Research Association, which was in exile in Japan at the time, advocated that under the extraordinary circumstances of alien invasion outside and the government inside, national and national interests should be put first.

Stop all domestic anti-Yuan activities so that the Yuan government can concentrate on external affairs and achieve the goal of uniting to resist aggression.

After Li Zicheng's speech, party members called for giving up internal strife and united in dealing with the outside world. Huang Xing, Li Genyuan, Lin Hu, Cheng Qian, Xiong Kewu, Zhang Xiaozhun and other 11 people issued a telegram saying that our first opinion is to put the country first and then politics.

Politics first, then parties. If the country does not exist, where is the government? If the government is successful, what part does it have to do with the party? Therefore, when we oppose the government, it is not because we are evil to its people, but because we are insufficient for its government. Although we want to revolutionize its government,

I will never dare to endanger the country. I am determined to do so, and I am confident that I can tell the people of the country. This time the country has been insulted, the survival of the nation, and the whole country is frightened. Although the country is weak, it is also caused by the central government's mismanagement.

The authorities. I am a student living abroad, waiting for my studies. I am unable to make it better, so how can I bear to make it worse. Even if I oppose the government, it is a completely different matter. In what country's politics, the existence of opposition parties is not allowed. And the current situation in our country

From this point of view, is it appropriate to carry out reforms? We hold this view. Although there is no room for its development now, we will never change it based on the government's intentions and actions. The government can only implement sincere governance and the whole country is attracted by it, even if we die in a foreign country, it is also

willing."

Faced with the call from the European Affairs Research Association, Li Zicheng specifically called Yuan Shikai, "A member of the Second Party Party, a moderate, but a soldier with a long-standing reputation. President, why don't you just follow the trend and treat Huang Xing and others with reason and advice?"

Mobilize them to return to the country with righteousness, so as not to be used by the Japanese."

The content of the telegram was simple, but Yuan Shikai saw through it at a glance. This move would have a direct impact on the party, so he immediately sent a telegram to the whole country. The telegram read, "Abandon all past grudges, act in unison, and conspire for the survival of the country." This telegram immediately attracted the attention of the yellow faction within the Kuomintang.

answer.

Subsequently, He Haiming first left Japan and returned to the country, declaring that "the government warns the people with stability, and the people entrust the government with great responsibilities", "If the government does not harm Haiming, it will be disadvantageous, and Haiming will be safe in the motherland." Then Huang Xing

, Chen Jiongming, Bai Wenwei, Niu Yongjian, Li Liejun, Li Genuan, Lin Hu, Cheng Qian, Xiong Kewu, Zhang Xiaozhun, all returned to China by boat at the same time. They arrived in Shanghai first, and Yuan Shikai sent people to greet them. When they arrived in Beijing, Yuan Shikai even went there personally.

Welcoming him at the train station, after the grand welcome banquet, Yuan Shikai allocated another 50,000 yuan in funds and the house for the "European Affairs Research Society". As a result, the whole country formed a situation of "nationwide unity".

At this time, there was silence in the large study room in the backyard of the mansion. At this time, cheers and shouts outside could be described as one after another. The sound of firecrackers echoed in the sky above Sijiu City, and the smell of gunpowder drifted in along the wind.

In this room, everyone in the room was sitting there, with dozens of photos placed on the table in front of them.

Compared to the outside world, the European Affairs Research Association headed by Huang Xing had received a notice from the Presidential Palace an hour ago. Along with the notice came those photos. At this time, these traitors who were left in Japan "

The people were looking at each other.

After the initial disbelief and excitement, looking at these photos, everyone in this room has mixed emotions. On the one hand, they cheer for the country's victory, but on the other hand, their beliefs clearly tell

Their victory in this big battle gave Yuan Shikai a huge bargaining chip.

Originally, due to the separation of Sun and Huang, the Chinese Party was equivalent to a chaotic party and would be unable to change, and the Yuan family would also be further strengthened. How could everyone in the room not worry because of their own beliefs.

In a moment of joy and sorrow, Huang Xing, the "number one traitor" who had been slandered by the Japanese-remaining party members for several months as "surrendering himself", "confessing" and "confessing his guilt", sighed heavily.

"Now, I just hope that Yuan Shikai can fulfill his promise that day."
