From Jingshi University to Deshengmen, it is a full 40 miles, and all the teachers and students of the school walked all the way.
The rapid development of modern artillery technology has greatly reduced the protective effect of city walls. Although foreign armies had easily invaded Beijing several times, the central government of the Qing Dynasty still stubbornly hid behind the thick city walls and refused to come out. Today, Deshengmen still opens in the morning and closes at night, and is still guarded by many soldiers. They saw thousands of people rolling in from the northeast. Their first reaction was to close the city gate and report to their superiors.
The highest military officer for the defense of the capital in the Qing Dynasty was the first-grade Jiumen Admiral, but the Jiumen Admiral's office was located inside Chongwenmen. By the time the news was reported to the nine admirals, thousands of students had already surrounded Deshengmen.
¡°I don¡¯t know whether it was intentional or a coincidence, but nearly a thousand foreign students from Jingshi University were at the forefront. This made the soldiers guarding the city even more nervous. Although they held swords and guns in their hands, they did not dare to make any moves for fear of accidental injury and causing international disputes.
The gatekeeper of Deshengmen carefully poked his head out from the city wall and shouted loudly: "Who are you? What do you want?"
The students replied in a flurry: "Open the door quickly, we are going into the city!"
¡°We are students and we need to petition the school department!¡±
"openthegate!"
¡¡
Hundreds of thousands of people answered at the same time, it was a mess, how could the city gate leader hear clearly?
At this time, Yan Fu stood up, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then replied: "Everyone in the city, please rest assured that we are teachers and students of Jingshi University, and we are not illegal and unruly people. I heard that Mr. Sun Yuanqi, the principal of our school, the imperial envoy, and the right minister of the academic department, yesterday After being assassinated in the Northeast, we were so indignant that we wanted to go to the city to petition the academic department. I hope you will do it conveniently and open the city gate!"
I heard that these people were "out of righteous indignation" and wanted to "enter the city to petition." The city gate leader did not dare to open the door, so he said perfunctorily: "Since they are not illegal and unruly people, why are you still surrounding the city gate? You guys are Teachers and students in the university must know the rules, be courteous, and abide by the law. What is the difference between acting like this now and advocating chaos and banditry? It should be noted that the sky net is huge and the king's law is ruthless. Please disperse quickly!"
The students below suddenly started to curse, and they were so impatient that they even picked up bricks and tiles and threw them at the wall.
Yan Fu hurriedly stopped the students' behavior and said loudly: "It is precisely because we are knowledgeable, courteous, and law-abiding that we walked two hours to the capital unarmed to go to the academic department to state our reasonable demands. You just You are responsible for guarding the city gate, why are you blocking our teachers and students from entering the city normally?"
The city gate leader slandered: Yes, you are unarmed, but you can throw bricks and tiles! How can you, thousands of people, mixed with countless Westerners, be considered a "normal entry into the city"?
Yan Fu and he talked for a long time, and the city gate leader felt like he had eaten a weight, and he couldn't open the door anyway.
Students have no choice. With such a high city wall, you can¡¯t fly in with wings, right? Zhang Zeyu, who was among the crowd, was very angry: "If these bastards don't open the door, I will go back and fly a plane over and blow up this broken city gate!"
Nie Fan curled his lips: "Are you dreaming? Let's not talk about whether you can fly the plane out. Even if you can fly it out, how do you blow it up? What do you use to blow it up?"
Zhang Zeyu was so choked that he rolled his eyes: "You don't care how I blow it up! I'll go to the Peking Iron Works to borrow explosives, and then fly a plane and throw them from the sky to the ground, okay?"
"Thousands of us are outside the city, and there are ordinary people in the city. Can you ensure that they will be thrown at the city gate? Don't blow it up ourselves!" Nie Fan is definitely a good arrogant person now. .
Zhang Zeyu hesitated for a long time and then said: "Then I will develop a sight and install it on the aircraft to ensure that it will not miss the target. Is that okay?"
Nie Fan replied weakly: "Okay, okay, okay. When you borrow the explosives, research the sights, and then bomb the city gate, brother, I will probably starve to death here!"
"Then," Zhang Zeyu rolled his eyes, "Anyway, we have developed three different types of aircraft. Then I will fly the oldest aircraft and aim at the city gate, parachute myself, and let the aircraft go straight to the city gate by inertia. . With such a big iron guy, even if it doesn¡¯t knock down the city wall, it can still create a big gap!"
"You really think about it! How much is a plane worth? You really dare to think about using a plane to hit the city gate. You are just like Zhao Kuo on paper!" Nie Fan did not give up any opportunity to attack Zhang Zeyu.
Zhang Zeyu said angrily: "Yes, yes, yes, I am Zhao Kuo! You are the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang and the reincarnation of Liu Bowen, okay? Then you should think of a way!"
"Uh In my opinion, we can develop a machine with an iron rod in front and driven by a high-horsepower engine. It might be able to directly break open the city gate." Nie Fan thought for a moment.replied.
Zhang Zeyu¡¯s fianc¨¦e Lin Zhiya couldn¡¯t help but pursed her lips and smiled and said: ¡°Sure enough, they are all in the same business.¡±
Zhang Yihui also smiled: "You two! You can go to the Peiping Iron Works to get explosives, so why bother studying the messy machinery?"
Zhang Zeyu and Nie Fan looked at each other angrily at the same time: "What happened to the machine!"
Not to mention the bickering between these four people. Seeing that the situation was at a stalemate, Rutherford stood up and said in awkward Chinese: "Soldiers in the city, I want to enter the city immediately! If you don't open the door again, I will make a strong request to your Ministry of Foreign Affairs through diplomatic channels. protest!"
Hundreds of European and American students with blond hair and blue eyes behind them also shouted: "We strongly protest!"
The city gate leader suddenly became honest: he could be careless with the Chinese, but he did not dare to be careless with the foreigners. Since the First Opium War, hundreds of defeats, large and small, over the past seventy years have long left the mark of "fearing foreign countries like tigers" in the hearts of the Chinese people. From emperors and queens, to civil servants and generals, to revolutionary parties and ordinary people, they all have this consensus: foreigners are the first-class citizens, Manchu and Mongolian nobles are second, and Han people are third, fourth, or even last. ¡ª¡ªThis mentality has even been integrated into the bloodline and turned into a genetic gene, which continues to influence today.
The city gate leader turned around and scolded: "Let me go and invite the Admiral. Why is there no news yet?"
¡°Young man, let¡¯s go and take a look.¡± The soldier responded quickly.
Hearing that the foreign masters were going to protest, Wu Zhen, the admiral of the Nine Sects, no longer dared to take a leisurely stroll, so he hurriedly galloped over.
Wu Zhen stood on the city gate tower, looking at the nearly a thousand foreigners below, a little frightened: "Gentlemen, what are your requests?"
Rutherford replied: "We are going to the city and petition your country's academic department!"
Hearing that so many foreigners were going to the city to petition, Wu Zhen felt her heart tremble: "I wonder why you are petitioning?"
"I heard that Dr. Sun Baixi was assassinated in the Northeast. As Dr. Sun's friends and students, we express our extreme disappointment and indignation. Dr. Sun is an internationally renowned scientist and enjoys a high reputation in the education circle of your country. But now he is assassinated in the Northeast. Attacked by gangsters, this shows that your country does not pay attention to Dr. Sun's safety at all, and this consequence will occur.
"We have two hundred students every year who come to Beijing from various countries with a tuition fee of 5,000 taels per person, mainly because they want to study with Dr. Sun. If something happens to Dr. Sun, what's the point of coming to China? If your country does not accept our protest, we will make suggestions to our respective countries and consider whether this international student program should be cancelled." Although Rutherford's Chinese is not standard, his thinking is among the best in the world, and he naturally knows the pain points of the Qing Dynasty. where.
Do you want to cancel the 1 million taels per year overseas student plan? If it was his own fault that led to this outcome, it is estimated that the imperial court would definitely send him to Ninggu Pagoda and be a slave to the armored man!
Wu Zhen, who had been poked in the g-spot, was not only trembling in her heart and liver, but also in all 639 muscles in her body: "Everyone, everyone, it is indeed inconvenient for so many of you to enter the city. Since you want to protest to the academic department, In my humble opinion, how about I invite the Honorable Minister of the Academic Department here, and if you have anything to say, tell him directly?"
Regarding Wu Zhen¡¯s bad idea of ??diverting disaster to the east, Rutherford, Yan Fu and others considered it acceptable after discussion. If the government is offended, maybe the foolish young men in the royal family will dare to shut down Jingshi University in a desperate attempt to harm both sides. Now that things have come to this, it¡¯s better for everyone to take a step back.
Not long after receiving the news of Sun Yuanqi¡¯s assassination at the Military Aircraft Department, Rongqing had also learned: After all, Rongqing was the Minister of the Academy, and Sun Yuanqi was still the Left Minister of the Academy. Regarding this news, Rongqing didn't feel much joy or sadness, just like someone telling him that the price of cabbage increased by a penny today, it didn't hurt. But after Wu Zhen sent someone to explain the whole story, he felt pain like childbirth all over his body: They said that "a fire at the city gate affects the fish in the pond." Now he finally became a fish in the pond for real!
Rongqing did not dare to delay a major event involving one million taels of silver per year, and rushed to Deshengmen in a matter of minutes: "I, Rongqing, am the Minister of the Academic Department. May I ask if you can give me any advice?"
Rutherford had to come forward to negotiate this matter: "I am Rutherford, an Englishman. I am currently the vice president of Jingshi University and the dean of the International Students School. I was shocked when I learned about the assassination of Dr. Sun Yuanqi. I was entrusted by nearly a thousand international students in the university. , express our strong dissatisfaction to the academic department of your country. Because of your negligence, our most respected teachers have been put in danger, and many international students have temporarily lost their opportunity to study. Therefore, we now make three requests and ask your government to consider them as appropriate, otherwise We will advise governments to cancel the Keisei University international student program."
Rongqing wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked in a solemn voice, "I wonder what the three requests are?"
¡°First, try our best to treat Dr. Sun Baixi so that he can recover as soon as possible.
¡°Second, strengthen the security of Dr. Sun Baixi and Jingshi University to prevent such things from happening again.
"Third, severely punish the murderer who attacked Dr. Sun Baixi to serve as a warning to others."
After hearing Rutherford's three requests, Rong Qing couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief: "Mr. Lu, Rong must truthfully convey your requests to the Military Aircraft Department. I believe there will be news within a day or two. Please also go back to school. Wait with peace of mind!" (To be continued.
