Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The fall of Jiujiang completely pushed the United Provincial Army, the political system of the United Provinces, and the founder of all this, Zhao Zeyong, to the forefront.  In fact, the reputation of the United Provinces began to improve even before the Northern Expedition began. However, at that time, mostly intellectuals appreciated the regime, and they recognized the open and active United Provinces.  However, ordinary people only became aware of the United Provinces after the Wanxian massacre. At that time, the United Provinces expressed a tough attitude, which indeed inspired a large number of radical intellectuals, such as young student groups. However, in the minds of ordinary people, the image of the United Provinces  Still very vague.  After hunting down the three British warships that caused the Wanxian tragedy, people applauded, especially the people in Sichuan.  At this time, the United Provinces began to slowly enter into the lives of ordinary people, but the real people's hearts and minds had not yet been mobilized. Many people only regarded the United Provinces as a conversation piece after dinner. China actually had a warlord who dared to show his teeth to foreigners. In the past,  Don¡¯t they all say that warlords are the bastards of foreigners?  What really made people across the country start to pay attention to the United Provinces was after the British sent troops to China. At that time, both the people along the Yangtze River and the people in other unrelated provinces all knew the news. The foreigners and the British were sending troops to attack China again.  , who they were fighting, the Federal Provincial Army.  "Some people pay attention, talk about it, and then information spreads. Everyone knows that in southwest China, there is a province called the United Provinces, and the army in this province is called the United Provincial Army.  At this time, even though they do not clearly understand what the United Provinces is, they have low levels of education and may never be able to go ten kilometers away from their hometown in their entire lives. They will never understand what the United Provinces are. They have no  Hesitantly stood on the side of the United Provinces, hoping from the bottom of his heart that the United Provinces could defeat the British, just because the United Provinces were all provinces of China, even though the name of this province was very strange and I had never heard of it.  And when more and more news comes.  A British brigade of several thousand people was defeated by the United Provinces. The common people were very happy. They recognized the United Provinces more deeply and paid more attention to it. Through various information, they got a clearer understanding of the situation in the United Provinces and basically understood it.  The United Provinces are not one province.  It is a government formed by the union of several provinces that adhere to the principle of inter-provincial autonomy. These provinces are happy to hear about it, namely Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou and Sichuan.  The common people who understood the situation felt that they were closer to the Lian Province, because this was not a province called "Lian", but Sichuan.  It's Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou, these Chinese provinces they have heard of and are familiar with.  People in Hubei and Shaanxi regard the United Provinces directly as their familiar neighbor Sichuan, while Hunan people regard the United Provinces as the closely related Guizhou and Guangxi.  The Guangdong people regard the United Provinces as their brother Guangxi. All Chinese are looking for a familiar place to take their place, including people who are far away from the United Provinces. Perhaps they themselves, their parents, or their neighbors have been to Yunnan before.  Been to Guangxi.  Having been to Guizhou, Sichuan, or to a certain place or a few places in the United Provinces, they feel that they are like Yunnan people or Guangxi people.  If you are one with Guizhou people or Sichuan people, you are a Yunnan person and a Guangxi person.  He is from Guizhou and Sichuan.  It was this feeling that everyone felt nervous when they heard that the British were sending more soldiers.  The news that the British had sent 100,000 additional troops and dozens of warships to China made everyone worry about the United Provinces.  This feeling of one heart and one pain made the people begin to feel the existence of the nation personally, and the national consciousness quietly awakened.  In the history of later generations, this kind of national consciousness was originally awakened by the continuous aggression of the Japanese. On September 18, 128, Marco Polo Bridge, and August 13, every invasion launched by the Japanese further promoted the development of the Chinese nation.  The resurgence of consciousness.  And now, it is the British's step-by-step invasion of the United Provinces and China, which has stimulated the sense of nationality buried in the hearts of the Chinese nation.  The gradually awakening national sentiment made them worry about their compatriots in the United Provinces and made them resent the British bullying.  In the hazy national consciousness, everyone was very concerned about the battle between the United Provinces and the British army. When they heard that the United Provinces were gradually gaining the upper hand, the national mood was uplifted, but they heard that the British army had not been eliminated, but was fighting stubbornly in Jiujiang.  , everyone became nervous again.  Taking the battle between the United Provinces and the British as an introduction, the heart of the entire nation began to unite.  Everyone was happy with the victory of the U.S. Province, and disappointed with the setback of the U.S. Province, and was always worried.  When the Allied Provincial Army surrounded the British army in Jiujiang, the people's hearts and minds had quietly changed. At this time, not only a few intellectuals, but the entire nation, including those who slaughtered pigs and dogs, had united to  A fairly consistent level.  So when Italy also announced that it would march into China, the whole nation was worried about the fate of this nation. The national consciousness that had been sleeping for hundreds of years in the Qing Dynasty was completely awakened. According to Napoleon, China?The sleeping lion finally opened her eyes, she woke up!  So when everyone heard the news of the surrender of the Italians, they seemed unusually happy.  This time the pride of the Chinese nation was truly ignited. The reason why a nation has national consciousness is not because of the same living habits, not because of living in the same land, nor because of the same race and culture, but because  Because their nation can bring them honor and pride.  The living habits of Germans and French people are definitely less different than those of Cantonese and Shaanxi people. Western Europe, where so many ethnic groups live, is not larger than China. Northern Europe is a Germanic Christian culture, but the French definitely don¡¯t think so.  I am a German, and the same is true for Germans. There are so many ethnic groups in Western Europe who will never identify themselves as one nation. Northern Europe is also divided into several small countries. It is precisely because each country and each nation has their own independent national pride.  .  During the Qing Dynasty, especially the late Qing Dynasty, the power of the Chinese nation declined, and various humiliations followed. As a result, the people became numb and deeply hid their national pride.  We begin to feel inferior and despise ourselves, learn from Japan today, learn from the United States tomorrow, deny ourselves, regard the culture of other countries as advanced, regard our own culture as backward, regard other nations as civilization, and regard our own nation as ignorance. This is very harmful to China.  This nation that has been proud and proud for thousands of years is so cruel.  The root of everything is nothing more than this.  Others are strong, but we are weak.  In the hearts of almost every Chinese, there is a dream, a dream that hopes that their nation will suddenly become stronger and be able to defeat the enemies that have humiliated them. However, this dream is shattered and disappointed again and again.  During the Sino-French, Sino-Japanese War, and Gengzi eras, the humiliation continued to deepen. Every struggle brought only deeper humiliation, making the Chinese people begin to dare not dream or imagine.  When we arrived in the Republic of China, we became the local government of the United Province.  It is rare to be tough and can arouse a lot of excitement among the Chinese people. Hunting and killing a British ship can make people feel unusually happy. After that, they defeated a British brigade, which stimulated the nation to start to awaken, and then forced tens of thousands of Italian troops to surrender.  , let the nation begin to bloom with pride.  This has been suppressed for too long, such a once brilliant person.  The glorious nation, they long for a moment of self-confidence, and confidently declare to the world that we are not backward, we are not ignorant, but could they say this before? It is just a joke, and someone can be beaten whenever they want.  nationality.  What kind of confidence can you have?  We need to rectify our name. If China needs to rectify its name, it needs to defeat its enemies.  The United Provinces can defeat the enemy and dare to defeat the enemy, thus giving the people confidence.  So the United Provinces won the hearts and minds of the people, which may not be the case in other countries, but in China.  There is nothing that gives the nation confidence, honor and pride.  It can win the hearts and minds of the people of this country.  This nation can go hungry, disregard life, and launch attacks again and again against the American imperialism, which is armed to the teeth, just to prove to the world that we are not a nation of shame, but a nation that has dignity, cannot be humiliated, and is proud.  The United Provinces met this urgent need of the nation and thus gained lofty prestige. This prestige overshadowed the revolutionary government's slogan of overthrowing imperialism, and even made reporters dare to ask Chiang Kai-shek why the revolutionary government was so weak and why.  We cannot join the United Provinces in taking a tough stance towards the great powers. In fact, they are not just asking questions themselves, they also represent the voice of the people at this time.  As long as you dare to be tough and fight, even if you fail, the people will praise you as a hero.  But you are too timid to resist and always show weakness. No matter how successful you are, no matter how many other achievements you make, you will not be recognized if you cannot bring glory to the nation.  Ordinary people applauded and intellectuals lamented. At this time, even the most stable old masters began to clamor that China should take back its national rights and there was no need to wait any longer.  No one considers whether China has this ability at this time, and no one considers the consequences of failure. We will fight life and death. Even if we die if we are addicted, it will still show China's spiritual attitude of not being humiliated, because it has been suppressed by humiliation for nearly 10 years.  It¡¯s been a hundred years, and I¡¯ve suffered enough. ?? When ordinary people walk on the street, they raise their heads a few centimeters. When facing foreigners, they no longer feel inferior.  Students' motivation to learn is at an all-time high. They see hope and use what they learn.  Workers began to work with peace of mind, knowing that every effort they made would make the country's backbone stand taller.  Intellectuals wrote passionate words, full of hope for the future of the country and the nation. They were looking forward to the end of the Northern Expedition and the establishment of a new, glorious China again.  Starting with the Allied Provincial Army¡¯s capture of Jiujiang, the hearts and minds of the Chinese people were completely shaken out.  And the United Provinces that hunted and killed British ships, intercepted and killed British troops, besieged Jiujiang, and defeated Italian troops naturally received most of their attention.??Hopefully, the United Provinces will become synonymous with toughness from then on.  (To be continued.

I don¡¯t know if you feel it.  I tried to get in touch with the grief and indignation of the nation at that time, the humiliation hidden in the heart, and the desire for a strong nation, that entangled desire, which I clearly wanted to express but could not express because I could not see hope.  The Chinese people feel the pain and confusion of not being able to see the hope of national rise.  The pain of having been glorious for thousands of years, but having to accept humiliation and admit that you are indeed inferior.  Then the national pride was suppressed to the extreme, and hysterical emotions were suddenly released. I wanted to write this, but my writing power is limited and I really can't express it. Brothers, please forgive me.
