year, China took back the barracks in seven days.
In the 50s of the last century, not long after the founding of New China, the people of the whole country were immersed in joy and joy. However, in the capital city of Beijing, there is a place where there is a phenomenon of disharmony.
Foreigners there are self-righteous, regard themselves as "soil emperors", and do not take the Chinese in the slightest.
This area is populated entirely by expatriates who not only build high walls, but even bombard the Chinese. Why is that? Why can foreigners behave recklessly in the capital?
Today, let's explore the secrets together. Historical background of Dongjiaomin Lane: This is Dongjiaomin Lane, but whenever it is mentioned, people feel more humiliated.
Although this land belongs to China, Chinese residents cannot step further, which is simply a violation of the dignity of the 400 million Chinese people.
1.As early as the Qianlong period, it was set up as a guest house to receive foreign envoys. However, in 1840, the Western powers invaded and occupied Dongjiaomin Lane, which led to the establishment of an embassy in a vain attempt to carve up China.
After the Opium War, the Qing ** was forced to cede land and pay compensation, and Dongjiaomin Lane was also forced to provide permanent residence to foreign ministers. Although the residents of Dongjiaomin Lane are still predominantly Chinese, the Qing ** has been stripped of its jurisdiction here.
It was not until 1901 that the Qing Dynasty signed the "Xinchou Treaty" with the foreign powers, completely relinquishing its jurisdiction over Dongjiaomin Lane, and China no longer had the right to intervene here. 2.During the Qianlong period, it became a guest house to entertain foreign envoys.
However, in 1840, the Western powers forcibly invaded and occupied Dongjiaomin Lane, so Britain and France set up embassies to carve up China. After the Opium War, the Qing Dynasty was forced to cede land and pay compensation, and Dongjiaomin Lane was also deprived of the right to permanent residence for foreign ministers.
Although the residents of Dongjiaomin Lane are still Chinese, the Qing ** has lost control of the place. It was not until 1901 that the Qing Dynasty signed the Treaty of Xinchou with the Great Powers, completely relinquishing its jurisdiction over Dongjiaomin Lane, and China had no right to interfere here.
The aborigines were forced to leave their homes, Dongjiaomin Lane became a forbidden place for the great powers, and the Chinese were forbidden to enter, and even set up six-meter-high walls and ** to train soldiers with plundered garrison rights.
Worse still, they issued notices and immediately opened fire on approaching Chinese, targeting innocent civilians.
After the signing of the Treaty of Xincho, domestic warlords agreed to the treaty in order to obtain assistance from the foreign powers. This kind of behavior is undoubtedly aiding the abuse, and it has also fueled the arrogance of the foreign powers.
The victimized masses were desperate to use the power of the Kuomintang to drive the invaders out of their land. However, the Kuomintang at that time still needed the support of the Western powers, so it remained silent on the matter and did not take any action.
Dongjiaomin Lane, once the residence of the Chinese, has now become a barracks for foreign powers and a great shame in modern Chinese history. For decades, the people of Beijing have lived in dire straits, and they can only dare to be angry in the face of these villains and robbers.
Until the emergence of ***, he became the light of hope of the Chinese people. In 1949, after the continuous efforts of the Communist Party of China, Beiping was peacefully liberated. On the route to welcome *** and the People's Liberation Army into the city, we passed through foreign consulates and Dongjiaomin Lane.
** The problem of Dongjiaomin Lane has been concerned for a long time, and it is known as a cancer on the Chinese people, and with the liberation of Beiping, this tumor has also reached the time to be completely removed. ** The army was also instructed to replace the soldiers with old equipment and captured brand-new American equipment when entering the city, so that they could walk majestically past the consulate and show the foreigners the style of our army.
On February 3, the time to enter Beijing came, and the people of Beijing welcomed the People's Liberation Army into the city early in the streets. Amid the deafening cheers, the People's Liberation Army marched through Dongjiaomin Alley.
The foreigners who once flaunted their martial might are now closing their doors like shrunken turtles, and Dongjiaomin Alley, which no longer prohibits Chinese from entering, is warmly welcoming the arrival of the People's Liberation Army.
Isn't this the best counterattack to those good-looking foreigners? **Long before the founding of the People's Republic of China, he had already begun to think about how to break the unequal treaty, and the issue of Dongjiaomin Lane was also on his list.
Salute first and then soldiers, attack the heart first, we will win!
The chairman likened the founding of New China to the renovation of old houses, and the unequal treaties were dust and garbage in the room. Only when these are cleared can you really receive friends. At this time, New China was in ruins, and it did not have enough strength to compete with the old capitalist powers.
It has been suggested that these treaties should be recognized first, and that they should be abrogated when China becomes stronger.
In response to this view, ** firmly opposed, he believes that these treaties are easy to sign, but extremely difficult to abrogate. They want money and land, they should go to find out**, these treaties were not signed by me***.
Out of this determination, it was decided to gradually recover these territories, including Dongjiaomin Lane, which had been occupied by the Great Powers for decades. In 1950, the recovery plan of Dongjiaomin Lane was officially put on the agenda, and it was decided to conduct peace negotiations first, after all, it had just experienced war, and no one wanted to see the country fall into war again.
* A proclamation was issued demanding that the Western powers voluntarily withdraw their barracks and that if they did not cooperate, they would use force to forcibly retract them. After the plan was reviewed and approved, the notice was circulated to the Beijing Municipal Military Control Commission.
On 6 January, a notice sent by the Military Control Commission was found at the entrance of the British Embassy. The notice clearly stated that the buildings and barracks of the Great Powers in Dongjiaomin Lane were illegal, and that China** required them to evacuate within seven days, otherwise they would be forcibly repossessed.
Although Britain had just submitted a note acknowledging New China yesterday, China's proclamation still gave them a big surprise. Not only the British side was surprised, but even the United States side was worried.
After all, the Communist Party is not as weak as the Kuomintang, they have seen the perseverance of the first, and this time the first salute and then the soldiers have given them enough respect.
Naturally, the United States is not willing to give up its barracks easily, and is ready to join forces with other countries to resist. However, while the United States was complacent about its plans, Britain was the first to turn its back on them.
Since the Chinese side has held the United Kingdom's performance in international affairs in high esteem, the Chinese side has decided to grant Britain a three-month reprieve, provided that its plans for other countries remain unchanged.
This decision also made the British minister deeply feel the sincerity of the Chinese side, and decided not to get involved in the dispute with the United States again. While the remaining Western countries were secretly plotting, the Beijing Military Commission sent personnel to surround the consulates in advance and read out the seven-day restriction order in person.
In the face of China's firm stance, many countries have prepared to evacuate their military camps, but US Consul Colbert wants to resist to the end. On January 9, Coleb received an order from the Secretary of State to write a letter to the Prime Minister.
How should we deal with the U.S. messing around?This century-old shame will eventually be washed away. The biggest mistake of Kolobo was to misunderstand the weakness of the Kuomintang in New China.
Coleb firmly believes that according to the U.S.-Qing Treaty, Dongjiaomin Lane is the legitimate territory of the United States, and he warned China not to infringe on the rights and interests of the United States. However, what Colerobo never expected was that his letter did not reach the hands of the Prime Minister.
After receiving the letter, China's foreign affairs office directly returned it, saying that China and the United States have not yet established diplomatic relations, so what Colerobo has done has no impact on China's current situation.
Faced with the seven-day deadline looming, Colerobo was pressured to send a second letter, which had shifted from consultation to threat, claiming that the United States would retaliate if China insisted on taking back the barracks.
However, China is not affected by this threat, and the foreign secretary, Huan Xiang, said that China's determination to take back the barracks will not change, and the remnants of the old society will not continue to exist on the soil of the new China.
The letter was returned again. On January 13, China successfully won the sovereignty of Dongjiaomin Lane, and after a telephone inquiry with a visit to Moscow, it received a positive answer.
China resolutely reclaims Dongjiaomin Lane, and no country can stop it. Not only the barracks of the Great Powers, but also those of the USSR were among the evacuees. **'s hardline attitude stemmed from the fact that he saw the consequences of this trip to countries that had compromised with unequal treaties, which made him even more determined to carry out a clean-up.
After receiving the order of ***, the military control will provide assistance to relatively friendly countries, and for"Nail household"Someone will be sent to keep a close eye on their progress to ensure that the plan is completed on time.
On January 14, the Military Control Commission enforced it, and many countries have vacated in advance to wait for acceptance, but the United States chose to play tricks at this critical moment. Although the items were packed, the United States refused to carry them.
Despite the irretrievable situation, Coleb tried to struggle. After the soft grinding and hard bubbles of the Chinese side, he did not hesitate to move out of the US threat, but the soldiers who carried it out were unwavering and firmly stated that they would not be affected by his nonsense when they carried out the order, and if the United States did not move out, they would bear the consequences.
There is no point in resisting, and it is necessary to move out as demanded by the Chinese side. After the United States withdrew, other "nail households" also withdrew, and the recovery plan of Dongjiaomin Lane was successfully completed.
The old Beijingers who set foot on this familiar land again were so excited that they burst into tears, and the Chinese could finally walk proudly on their own land. The significance of recovering Dongjiaomin Lane is far more than just acquiring a piece of land, it declares to the world that China's territory is inviolable, and also sounds the alarm bell for Britain and Portugal, laying the foundation for the return of Hong Kong and Macao in the future, and demonstrating the firm spirit of the Chinese people who are neither afraid of power nor difficulties.
