Tianjin Japanese Concession.
Since the European War, concessions in various parts of China have been reclaimed one after another. The first concession to be reclaimed was of course the German concession. Before the war in Europe, with Fang Zida's efforts, the Republic of China government not only reclaimed the German concessions in various places, but also reclaimed the German concessions that were taken back by Germany.
The Qing Island occupied by people made it the first great diplomatic success achieved since the founding of the Republic of China.
As the war continued, in order to win over China to join the war, Britain and France took the initiative to concessions and signed a series of new treaties with China, including the terms of taking back some concessions. China joined.
After the Allies, the concessions of the former allies were forced to be revoked. After the revolution broke out in Tsarist Russia, the Russian concessions in various places were also revoked one by one. Not only that, in the cooperation with the Provisional Government of the Russian Empire established later, the Chinese government not only took back all the
The Russian Concession, with the victory of the Sino-Soviet War, took back all the cedented territory during the Qing Dynasty, and even used this war to gain considerable benefits from Russia.
Therefore, since 1923, mainland China has basically restored its territorial integrity. In addition to Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places, there are public concessions. However, even the public concessions have different meanings from the previous concessions. Now they only exist.
The several concessions have gradually changed from the original simple concession to the type of free economic and trade zone in later generations. Their political significance has gradually increased, but their economic uses have increased a lot.
Fang Zida knew very well that it was already great to be able to do this in just over ten years. He did not expect to completely reclaim the remaining concessions in one go, after all, doing so would have a great stimulation to the great powers. Although China is different from the past
, But the exchanges between countries in the world can not only solve the problem by being tough. In some cases, compromise is more important.
After all, China has not yet possessed the power to compete with the entire Western world.
According to the current national policy towards various concessions, this can achieve a smooth transition. Moreover, with the cooperation between China and the United States, the United States has also agreed to relax the rights of the U.S. concessions, so that the existence of the concessions will be from the previous political and economic aspects.
change.
To date, the only exception is the Japanese concession in China. From the current perspective, the Japanese occupy the most Chinese territory. Japan not only owns concessions in various places, but also occupies a land of Lushun, which is what they call "Kanto".
", in addition to this, there is Taiwan, which was ceded during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894. Faced with countries around the world continuing to return various concessions and carrying out economic cooperation with the Chinese government, the Japanese pretended to be deaf and dumb from the beginning, as if they were looking at it.
Even after the Chinese Foreign Ministry tentatively proposed to Japan to redeem the concession, the Japanese government ignored it. On the contrary, it strengthened its defense against the Japanese concessions in various places, sent a large number of so-called naval stations, and even from the country
Many ronin were found to wander around the concession in this way to declare their rights over the concession.
Before the New Year of 1923 was over, a group of guests were welcomed in a small western-style building in the Japanese Concession in Tianjin. These guests were all dressed in bright clothes. Some people had Qing Dynasty braids behind their heads, and they were each other.
When we meet, we are different from the popular handshakes or fists that are now popular. Instead, we kneel down on each other with horse hooves and sleeves. If it weren't for the newspapers sold on the street that were clearly printed with the current date, we would even think that it was still in the Qing Dynasty.
"Uncle Eighth, nephew, pays you a blessing..."
"Oh, it's Xiao Liuzi. Get up." A man with a medium body and a slightly fat body got out of the car. As soon as he entered the door, a young man rushed over and knelt on one knee. The man looked at it.
After seeing this man, he immediately smiled and raised his left hand up casually.
"I haven't seen Uncle Eight for a few years. I didn't expect that Uncle Eight, you still remember me." The young man stood up and smiled. The man laughed and scolded, "I know all of you, six monkeys, you are burned to ashes.
When did you come? Did your father come?"
"When I say to Uncle Ba, my father is not good enough. He can't get up when it's cold this day. So, I can only come by myself. By the way, Uncle Ba, where have you made money over the years? Look at your red face,
Let's take care of your nephew."
"You kid, don't think I don't know, are you not a military judge in Jichang Town now? You are still a lieutenant colonel of the National Defense Forces? Although this position is not high, your power is still not light.
It's much more nourishing than ordinary people."
"Uncle Eight, I can't compete with you no matter how much." The young man smiled and said, "You are one of us!" He raised his thumbs up and said, "You were the chief of the General Staff of Commander Zhang the year before yesterday.
Last year, I heard that I was promoted to brigade commander and I was a general. With your future, who would I rely on for my nephew, a small lieutenant colonel, who would I rely on if I didn’t rely on your care? Do you think so?"
"Go to you!" The man was so happy that he raised his feet and kicked them weakly. The young man rushed to the side with his hands and feet flexibly, covering his mouth and laughing.
Speaking of these two people, they can really be considered uncles and nephews, but I don’t know how many generations of relatives are. The middle-aged man is named Xiqia, and his ancestors are descendants of Murhazi, the brother of Nurhaci, the Emperor Taizu of the Qing Dynasty. He studied in the early years.
The Jinbu School and the Non-commissioned Officer School in Tokyo, Japan are also one of the backbone of the Sect and Socialist Party.
The young man named Jin Mingshi, who was the same clan of the last young emperor Puyi. In terms of seniority, he was indeed Xiqia's nephew, but the kinship was far behind.
Xiqia served as the Northeast Defense Force, serving as brigade commander and rank of major general in Zhang Zuolin's military region. Jin Mingshi is also an officer of the National Defense Forces and rank of lieutenant colonel, just as Xiqia said that he served as a military judge in the garrison in Jichang Town. The two of them were
In addition to the same ancestor, they are also officers of the National Defense Forces. In addition to these two, they are also the backbone of the Clan Society Party and the representatives of the Qing Dynasty.
This time, in the name of visiting relatives and friends, Xiqia and Jin Mingshi quietly came to Tianjin to attend the internal gathering of the clan and society party. The convener of the gathering was nothing but someone else, but the respected and respected old man and young man in the Qing Dynasty
Prince Aisin Gioro and Shanqi.
Speaking of this Prince Su, Shanqi, was a famous figure back then. Prince Su was the Iron Hat King. Shanqi was deeply trusted by the Lafayette Cixi and was an important official in the court.
Shanqi was the best among the kings in the late Qing Dynasty. He was capable, enlightened and generous. He was named the second-class general of the country at the age of 21. He was appointed as the title of Prince Su at the age of 33. He was the first Minister of Civil Affairs in Chinese history and the first Minister of Civil Affairs in Chinese history.
The founder of the Chinese police system had served as the supervisor of Chongwenmen and the Secretary of the Lifan Academy. During the Revolution of 1911, he firmly opposed the abdication of Emperor Xuantong Puyi and even cried. In the early years of the Republic of China, he was an important member of the Party of Zongshe,
Instigating a rebellion and advocating the independence of Manchu and Mongolia. He once compared his dream of restoration to the restoration of the Han Dynasty, and once described his desperate act as Jingwei's reclaiming the sea, and was a leader of the Zongshe Party.
With the rise of the Republic of China, the restoration of the Qing Dynasty was far away. Shanqi, who was discouraged, hid in Lushun for many years without caring about the world. Who would have thought that just a few days ago, the members of the various clans and societies suddenly received an invitation from Shanqi.
In this way, these backbone members of the clan society and party who were in love with the Qing Dynasty came quietly from all over the place and gathered in this place.
"Where is Prince Su? Is he here?"
After entering the flower hall, Xiqia found a chair and sat down. There were already many people in the flower hall. Some people he knew, some people he was not familiar with. After seeing Shanqi, Xiqia turned around and sat down.
Jin Mingshi, who was behind him, asked.
"The prince is resting behind. It is said that his body is not very good, but he sent his prince to greet everyone. Uncle Eight, it's that person."
Jin Mingshi quietly pointed in front of him and saw a young man with a low figure and band legs helping him arrange the arrangement like a master. Xiqia didn't know him, so he couldn't help but ask who it was.
Jin Mingshi told Xiqia that this is the son-in-law of Prince Su's fourteenth prince, the Mongolian prince Ganzhuerzabu. This Ganzhuerzabu is not only a prince of Mongolia, but also a student of Japanese Lushi. This marriage is just now
It will be decided soon.
Nodded slightly, Xiqia understood when she heard this. In fact, he knew that the party was held here and knew that there must be a Japanese figure behind him. As expected, the so-called fourteenth princess should be given by the Japanese.
The matchmaker was just a little strange, but he didn't put the party location in Kanto. You should know that although this place is a concession, it is still a territory of China. Is such a big party a bit swaggering?
