*****************************************
These are the confidence that the Japanese are proud of, and from a geographical point of view, apart from Tsarist Russia, which borders China, Japan has the most urgent need for China's interests, especially the vast territory of this old empire that has been weighing on it for thousands of years.
Territory is more attractive to the small people of an island country. This is tacitly acknowledged by experienced politicians among the world's major powers. Britain and France, which have the largest share of interests in China, have long been secretly wary of Japan's influence on China.
Ambition, but for the sake of their respective national interests, although they are not opposed to the Japanese government taking advantage of this large loan to increase Japan's influence and interests on China, this is also the main reason why the banking group accepted Yokohama Masaki to join. But don't forget
, It is one thing to share your interests equally, but it is another thing to contain Japan's interests. This kind of political trick has been played by the British Empire and European countries for hundreds of years, and has long since reached the point of proficiency. Little Japan
Where are the opponents of such an established empire?
The original six-nation banking group became the current five-nation banking group, and the American Cowboys were eliminated for this reason. The Japanese, the younger brother and lackey of the Western powers, actually thought arrogantly that they could threaten the four-nation European banking group.
They clamored to withdraw, which immediately angered the arrogant John Bull and the follower Gallic Rooster. They were still slightly dissatisfied with the changes in the German and Russian banking groups, and they immediately turned their main focus to Japan and agreed instead.
The suggestions from Germany and Russia arose. Especially when the representatives of the British HSBC heard what the representative of Yokohama Masaki from Japan said, their faces sank on the spot. Without saying anything more, they announced a temporary adjournment of the meeting. After that, the British and French
The four countries gathered together to negotiate quietly alone, and then found representatives from Germany and Russia to exchange views. The four-nation consortium quickly reached a new agreement in private, preparing to reorganize the bank group and abandon direct negotiations between the Japanese and Chinese governments.
The Japanese were panicked at this time. They never expected that these Western foreign devils would fall out of favor faster than flipping through a book. Well, five people were having a good time playing Landlords together, but suddenly one guy felt unhappy and threatened
He said that I don’t want to play anymore, and the remaining four people discussed it, okay! The four of us can just make up a table of mahjong, bye, go away, no gift! We buddies will continue to play! For those who don’t play, you can play as you like.
Since I have to leave, I won’t take you to play with me anymore. This will frighten the Japanese people.
Representative Yokohama Masaki, who threatened to withdraw, was scolded by the telegram sent from Tokyo and returned home in despair. I wonder if he committed seppuku? The newly sent representative changed his attitude and said,
Bianpidian ran back and forth among the four-nation bank group, apologized sincerely, and made many concessions. Only then did he reluctantly obtain the understanding of the other four countries, and finally returned to the poker table. Waiting until the Japanese calmed down.
, the representatives of the banking group also made the final decision, and finally decided to increase the annual interest rate by half a percent, and change the repayment period from 47 years to 50 years. The other terms remained unchanged, and HSBC and Amundi jointly increased the interest rate by 300.
Ten thousand pounds, Dehua increased by 3.5 million pounds, Sino-Russian Dosheng increased by 2.2 million pounds, and the relatively poor Japanese Yokohama Masaki fought for his life and only increased by 580,000 pounds. These plus the original agreement
of 25 million pounds, and the final total was 34.28 million pounds.
In the end, except for the cash-strapped Japanese who were a little disappointed, everyone was happy with the result. Soon, three days before the official convening of the Congress, that is, at 1 pm on May 12, 1913, the five countries
The large loan from the Chinese government by the banking syndicate was finally officially signed in Beijing.
On May 15, 1913, the first Congress of the Republic of China was officially convened. On the night before the opening, the streets near the House of Representatives were already decorated with lights and colors, bright and festive. Wait until
On the 15th, the elected members of the Senate, House of Representatives and House of Representatives all wore brand-new formal attires and walked into the venue one after another overjoyed.
"The road to constitutional government... I have struggled for so many years and finally got to this day. It is really not easy!" Song Jiaoren, the interim speaker of the National Assembly, chairman of the National Assembly Preparatory Committee, and acting chairman of KMT, who was also wearing a big dress, looked at the audience as they entered the stage one after another.
The MPs could not help but burst into tears.
"It's a pity, Brother Keqiang. If he could live to this day and see this scene, how much better it would be..." Liao Zhongkai, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but sigh. Everyone looked happy and couldn't help but feel excited.
suppress.
"The President is here!"
With a shout of greetings, Song Jiaoren and others quickly turned their attention to the entrance, and saw Yuan Shikai in a formal dress also coming. Accompanying him was Liang Shiyi, Secretary-General of the Presidential Palace, and then followed in
Prime Minister Zhao Bingjun, as well as the chief ministers and deputy ministers of various government ministries...
"Let's go! Everyone, come with me to greet the president." After greeting everyone, Song Jiaoren took the lead to greet him. Fang Zida stood behind and looked very low-key.
"Thank you for your hard work, Dunchu!"
"President, thank you!"
The two parties didn't say much. A simple sentence expressed their current mood. They held hands with a smile and walked to the rostrum together.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, all the people from all parties had arrived, and Song Jiaoren, as the host, officially announced the opening ceremony of the Congress. First, a 108-gun salute was fired, and then President Yuan Shikai delivered a congratulatory speech in high spirits.
Yuan Shikai did not hold any speech notes in his hand. He stood upright in front of the stage like a green pine, staring at the legislators in the audience with piercing eyes. The whole venue was silent. After a while, he spoke with emotion and changed slightly because of excitement.
With a trembling voice, he announced loudly and loudly: "The first Congress of the Republic of China has been formally established. This is indeed a great glory in the history of more than 4,000 years, and happiness for 400 million people for billions of years. Shikai also
As a member of the nation, I should be deeply grateful with all the gentlemen." After saying this, Yuan Shikai raised his hands and shouted slogans: "Long live the Republic of China! Long live the Congress of the Republic of China!"
"Long live the Republic of China! Long live the Congress of the Republic of China!"
"Long live the Republic of China!"
"Long live the National Congress of the Republic of China!"
"Long live President Yuan Da!"
"Long live the Congressmen!"
The congressmen in the audience also responded one after another. The slogans were deafening, and the atmosphere in the venue suddenly reached climax. As Yuan Shikai on the stage kept waving, the congressmen in the audience became even more enthusiastic. Some congressmen even because
I was so excited that my face was covered with tears.
For a moment, Fang Zida was also infected. He shouted slogans along with everyone, and his heart was burning like a fire. Looking at the scene in front of him, tears filled his eyes as if time was out of order. The Henan accent in President Yuan's official dialect and
A certain Hunan accent gradually overlapped in my memory.
