Tan Sitong once wrote this desperate poem in prison, in order to express the resentment that was suppressed in the depths of his heart and his integrity as a gentleman. The reason why he wrote this poem is first, he regrets the failure of the change of law; second, he is the humiliation of those in power who are slanderous and flattering, weak and deceitful, and who care about the humiliation of the country's fall.
After the defeat of the Wushu Reform Law, the government arrested the six gentlemen everywhere and sentenced them to capital punishment, and the most fierce change of law in the late Qing Dynasty ended in failure.
As we all know, China in the late Qing Dynasty can be described as the weakest dynasty in history. Since the Qing Dynasty adopted the policy of closing the country to the outside world, the former Heavenly Dynasty kingdom has lagged far behind the footsteps of the world. "Backwardness means being beaten", and China under the Qing Dynasty is locked down and backward, and it is bound to become a role of humiliation.
Since the beginning of the Opium War, the great powers have gradually begun to invade China, and among the countries, Tsarist Russia is the worst, repeatedly under the black hand, and Sudoku has plundered China's northern territory, totaling more than 1.5 million hectares. And among them, naturally there is today's Outer Mongolia, after this, with the intervention of many great powers, Outer Mongolia took the opportunity to become independent, who is the culprit who lost Outer Mongolia?
Despicable country
Before independence, Outer Mongolia has always been an inseparable part of China's territory, before China after tens of thousands of years of evolution, the territory is vast and rich, at that time the army was strong, the national strength was strong, and all the countries were subordinate.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the British imported opium into China to destroy morale, wantonly grab foreign exchange, and deplete China's strength, after which a blatant war was waged, and the Qing Dynasty was defeated miserably.
Since then, the Great Qing Dynasty has become a "cash machine" for the countries. As long as that country is "not rich in surplus grain" and is bullied, it can grab huge compensation and subsidize "family" use.
It has to be said that among the various powers that fought against the Qing government, Russia was the most repulsive. Tsarist Russia always indulged in the aftermath of the various countries, and when the Qing government was defeated, it came out to pick up leaks. This move by Tsarist Russia is tantamount to taking advantage of the fire and looting.
After that, during the Second Opium War, Britain and France as the main force, and the Great Qing Dynasty competed head-on, Tsarist Russia hid behind Britain and France waiting for an opportunity to share a piece of the pie, a year later, as a victorious country, wantonly embezzled more than 1.5 million square kilometers of Chinese territory, Outer Mongolia fell for the first time, it was divided among the great powers, gradually eroded by Tsarist Russia.
Republic of China period
The Xinhai Revolution ended qing rule and brought an end to a century-old feudal monarchy. The Republic of China was officially completed. The situation was turbulent, the Republic of China had just been established, domestic affairs were complicated, and the affairs of Outer Mongolia were still not free, so with the help of Tsarist Russia, Outer Mongolia became independent.
With the support of Tsarist Russia, Outer Mongolia succeeded in independence, but the Republic of China government was tired of domestic affairs and had a weak heart for Outer Mongolia. Subsequently, after successively resolving disputes in various places, Foreign Mongolia was reconquered.
However, the days of stability did not last long, and soon after, China was once again caught in a warlord melee, and Waimeng looked at the timing and began to strive for independence step by step.
There are two reasons why they dare to be brazen: First, within Outer Mongolia, the reactionary forces are eager to move, and then there is no shortage of tsarist Russia secretly stirring up trouble. It is precisely for these two reasons that the Outer Mongolian thieves dare to be independent.
Although the government of the Republic of China knew that Tsarist Russia was secretly playing a ghost, it was hindered by the strength of Tsarist Russia, and had to swallow its anger. Outer Mongolia's independence was raging, and the Republic of China could only turn a blind eye. At this time, Outer Mongolia was actually independent, but the Republic of China government had not recognized it, and Outer Mongolia did not have any real independence.
At the end of World War II, Outer Mongolia took advantage of the chaos to become independent, and after the end of World War II, under the operation of the Soviet Union, the National Government had to recognize the independence of Outer Mongolia. At that time, the Soviet Union also issued many hegemonic clauses, all of which were forced to accept due to the weakness of the country.
At that time, Stalin gave a strong order to the Nationalist government: it was necessary to accept the independence of Outer Mongolia. Subsequently, the Nationalist government was forced to declare the independence of Outer Mongolia by its might.
Dig the truth behind it
Outer Mongolia became independent, and Tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union contributed a lot. Tsarist Russia encroached on Outer Mongolia in an attempt to take Outer Mongolia for itself, and as an imperialist country, it was his nature to expand aggression. However, as the world's first socialist country, the Soviet Union still regarded expansion as its nature, and it also paid a bloody foundation for the independence of outer Mongolia.
In 1961, Outer Mongolia was recognized by the various states and became a truly independent state. The Soviet Union should have taken the lead in its power to allow African countries to vote for the independence of Outer Mongolia by a majority vote in the United Nations.
As the only two superpowers in the world, no one but the United States can match. It has to be said that Russia has worked the matter of Outer Mongolia, and from Tsarist Russia to the Soviet Union, it has never given up its intention to divide China.
However, whether it is the late Qing government or the subsequent National Government, they dare not squeak in the face of such a behemoth. Russia's wolf ambitions are clear, and they want to dominate the world by encroaching on China's territory and expanding their territory.
It was only because of the disparity in national strength at that time that those in power were forced by the power to choose to be patient. In the final analysis, the loss of Outer Mongolia is due to the weakness of the country, so it can only be left to it.
Whenever the time comes, national strength is a top priority! If you fall behind, you will be beaten! After several twists and turns, Outer Mongolia gained independence, and China once again lost its sovereignty.
Although Outer Mongolia was truly independent of the National Government, it was precisely because of the decadence and incompetence of the late Qing government that China was placed in the abyss of unrecoverable disaster, and only then did it have a humiliating modern history!
After the founding of New China in 1949, Chiang Kai-shek fled to Taiwan. In a corner of Taiwan, he suddenly thought of the Outer Mongolia issue again, and was a bit "sorry that he shouldn't have been in the first place". In 1953, on the grounds that the Soviet Union did not meet the conditions of "not assisting the Chinese Communists", the Nationalist government abolished the exchange of letters about Outer Mongolia in the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance, did not recognize the independence of Outer Mongolia, and ordered that Outer Mongolia be reintegrated into the territory of the Republic of China.
Chiang Kai-shek also made a heavy review at the Meeting of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang, saying: "Although the policy decision to recognize the independence of Outer Mongolia was formally adopted unanimously approved by the Central Committee, I am personally willing to bear its full responsibility." This is my personal decision, my responsibility, and my guilt." Chiang Kai-shek also said that abandoning Outer Mongolia "is really a childish illusion, and it is definitely not the way to seek the country... Blame the Prime Minister, the Revolution, the Country and the People."
At this time, will it be a little late to regret and blame yourself?
