Chapter 12 Remarks: Shared Strange Articles (Zhou Jingchai)

The adults and gentlemen regard the "Antiquities of the Forbidden City" as fate (of course not the fate of ordinary people) and resolutely move southward, just because the "antiquities" are worth more than "Liancheng", and they are easy to move and change into money. You make a fuss, cynicism!When I was thinking this way, I saw an editorial in a newspaper in the capital in favor of "the southward relocation of antiquities"; "!"I really can't bear to make such grandiose words go unnoticed, so I took the pains to transcribe them and present them to the public: "...all groups in Peking oppose the southward relocation of ancient relics, which is harmful to the future prosperity of Peking. This kind of selfishness The reason why self-interest completely disregards national interests, the various groups in Peking dare to say, we admire their audacity, they only want the prosperity of Peking, they must take the risk of being looted by the enemy with thousands of years of antiquities, see It is too small, so that the government has to temporarily abandon Beiping for the sake of strategic relations, so as to lure the enemy deep, gather and destroy them, and the ancient relics will be plundered by the enemy. How can the prosperity of Beiping be maintained in the future? In Japan, Beiping was as peaceful as Mount Tai, and then moved back. The selfishness of the various groups in Beiping is abhorrent and shameful. They have no foresight and are pitiful. Another reason for their opposition to relocation is that the government should take care of the land first. This statement It is plausible to say that Gai gave up part of the land for the enemy to occupy for a while, in order to wipe out the enemy, and then restore it. There are many examples in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. Moscow was burned to trap Napoleon. During the European War, Belgium and Serbia gave up all their territories for the enemy to ravage. The soldiers defeated the strong Germany and occupied the territory. As long as they do not make peace with the enemy and sign the cession treaty, the enemy will be solidified. As for the ancients in the Forbidden City, if they do not move, if unfortunately Beiping is occupied by the enemy and the antiquities are plundered away, how can China restore it? Seeing the crystallization of Chinese civilization and offering it to the enemy as spoils of war, what a shame it is. ...Finally, we tell the government that the policy of relocating antiquities has been decided, and no matter what kind of obstacles it encounters, it should be implemented. Blame Zhang Xueliang for using force to stop the opposition movement, and if it is unavoidable, he will not hesitate to shed blood..."

February 13, "Shenbao" and "Free Talk". [1] This article was originally published on February 13, 1933 in "Shen Shen Free Talk", signed by He Jiaqian. [2] "Salvation Daily" was a reactionary newspaper founded in Nanjing in August 1932, sponsored by Gong Debo, and ceased publication in April 1949.The words quoted in the article originally appeared in the editorial of the newspaper on February 6, 1933, "Suing the Government for the Relocation of Antiquities from the Forbidden City". [3] Zhang Xueliang, courtesy name Hanqing, was born in Haicheng, Liaoning.At the time of the September 18th Incident, he was the deputy commander of the army, navy and air force of the Kuomintang government and the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Frontier Army. He was ordered by Chiang Kai-shek not to resist and gave up the three northeastern provinces. After the "September 18th", he served as the acting chairman of the Beiping Army Branch of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government.

[4] Strategists refer to the Kuomintang military authorities.After the Battle of Shanghai on January 28, 1932, they repeatedly ordered the Chinese army to retreat, claiming that it was "a change of strategy" and "leading the enemy deeper" and "not a defeat." 〔5〕Shanghai Peace Conference After the January 28th War broke out, the Kuomintang government ignored the anti-Japanese demands of the people of the whole country, insisted on the policy of "non-resistance", sabotaged the anti-Japanese actions of the 19th Route Army, and with the participation of British, American, French and other imperialists, On May 5, 1932, the "Shanghai Armistice Agreement" was signed.

〔6〕 Manchukuo, a puppet regime established after Japan invaded and occupied Northeast China.It was established in Changchun in March 1932, with Puyi, the deposed emperor of the Qing Dynasty, as the "government"; in March 1934, it was renamed "Manchurian Empire", and Puyi was changed to "Emperor". [7] League of Nations, short for "League of Nations".An international intergovernmental organization established in 1920 after World War I.It advertises that it aims to "promote international cooperation and maintain international peace and security", but it is actually a tool controlled by imperialist countries such as Britain and France to serve their aggressive policies.After the outbreak of the Second World War, it disintegrated invisibly and was officially disbanded in April 1946.After the September 18th Incident, it defended the Japanese imperialist aggression against China. [8] The so-so draft refers to the "draft resolution" on the mediation of Sino-Japanese disputes adopted by the special meeting of the Nineteen-National Committee of the League of Nations on December 15, 1932.In January 1933, the draft was amended to the "Drummont New Draft".These drafts clearly favored Japan and acquiesced to the "Manchukuo" puppet regime.

[9] The attitude of the so-so committee refers to the attitude of the British representative and foreign minister Simon who participated in the Nineteen-Nation Committee of the League of Nations.In his speeches at the League of Nations meeting, he repeatedly defended Japan's aggression against China, and was condemned by the Chinese public opinion circles at that time. [10] The line is in the place where the government is temporarily relocated when necessary; the accompanying capital is a capital built outside the capital.The Kuomintang government made Nanjing its capital.During the January 28th War in 1932, a hasty decision was made on January 30 to "relocate to Luoyang for office"; in March, the Second Plenary Session of the Fourth Central Committee of the Kuomintang passed a resolution officially designating Luoyang as the capital and Xi'an as the accompanying capital.On December 1 of the same year, it moved back to Nanjing from Luoyang.
