Chapter 49 US Policy toward the Philippines

() Zhao Bingjun was born in poverty. He relied on his own hard work to slowly climb to the position of the third Prime Minister of the Republic of China. It is said that he was not only poor when he was a child, but his parents were dead and he did not even have a name. Later he became the third prime minister of the Republic of China.

The most common surname among hundreds of families

Zhao decided as his surname and chose Bingjun as his given name. Bingjun is the Jun of Bingguo, which means that after the emperor, he is the eldest. Not only did he choose his surname by himself, but he even arranged his birth date for himself.

Yes, it is the first day of the first lunar month every year.

He worked as a book boy in an official's family in his hometown since he was a child. Because of his cleverness and boldness, he was loved by his master. Therefore, he had the opportunity to read some books, which not only gained him knowledge, but also increased his knowledge. Later, a local official took a fancy to him.

He took him with him and took office with him. From then on, he had the capital to leave his hometown and venture out.

Zhao Bingjun initially defected to Zuo Zongtang's Chu army and went to Xinjiang

He suppressed the rebellion, conquered east and west, and made many military exploits. Later, due to serious injuries, he had to work as a historian in Xinle County. From then on, he focused on detective and police officers, and was known locally as "good at arresting people."

"

Later, when Yuan Shikai was training at the small station, he heard about this man and transferred him to his subordinates. Because he was Yuan Shikai's hometown fellow in Henan and was thoughtful, he was highly regarded and became an important think tank around Yuan Shikai.

Originally, Zhao Bingjun was doing very well in the affairs department, but because Tang Shaoyi, another close confidant of Yuan Shikai, studied in the United States and was heavily influenced by the West, he and Lao Yuan could not always get along, so he had to give up his job, and he left behind

When he came down, Yuan Shikai saw that no one was at ease, so he had to move the police chief to the position of prime minister.

Liu Fu was in Taiwan, paying attention to the developments of the Republic of China all the time. He saw Tang Shaoyi resigning and Lu Zhengxiang taking over. Then he resigned again without covering his buttocks and asked Zhao Bingjun to take over. This kind of revolving door replacement made Liu Fu at a loss.

He had heard of Tang Shaoyi in later generations, and Lu Zhengxiang also had some knowledge of it.

He had heard about it, but he knew nothing about this Zhao Bingjun. According to the investigation report of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this man was born in poverty, was disabled, had no children, and was a police chief. According to Liu Fu's opinion, this man was not

Was it the chief eunuch from the East and West factories who served as prime minister in the Ming Dynasty?

However, the subsequent development surprised Liu Fu even more. Since Zhao Bingjun became the Prime Minister, the government of the Republic of China has finally stabilized. You no longer impeach me every day, and I impeach you. But Song Jiaoren left the center of power.

He has no intention of settling down, he still has to fight to realize his political ideals.

So, the veteran of the Tongmenghui raised his voice and took the Tongmenghui as the basis, and the small parties as the big party, united the Republican Party, the Kuomintang Association, the Kuomintang Party, and the Republican Association to reorganize into a big party. This big party

The name of the party is--the Kuomintang!

When Liu Fu saw this name in the report from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he didn't even grab the cigarette butt and dropped it on his clothes, burning his new clothes black.

The Kuomintang, Baldy Chiang is about to come out? Then there will be the Northern Expedition, and then the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will break up? Liu Fu feels that his brain is very insufficient. These things in the history books are about to happen in front of him one by one.

But no matter what Liu Fu thought or planned, the government of the Republic of China was still moving forward in an orderly manner according to the wheel of history. But since Liu Fu did not intend to get involved in these political struggles, nor did he want to just watch, so Liu Fu

I found something to do for myself, which was to divert my attention away from China and invest it in another region that was also undergoing constant turmoil of change - the Philippines.

Since the Taiwan Army landed on Mindanao Island in the Philippines in 1907, Taiwan's Ministry of Interior has followed Liu Fu's intention and began to deploy on the Philippine Islands. From the beginning, a small-scale guerrilla group slowly developed into a Philippine du li organization.

It eventually became the largest armed organization in the Philippine Islands.

Beginning in 1911, there were Philippine armed forces under the actual control of Taiwan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs.

li organization "Filipinos" began to launch an offensive against the US military throughout the Philippines, and successfully divided and surrounded the US military on Luzon Island in several major cities. In order to confuse the Americans, this organization also secretly cooperated with several other

The Taiwanese troops stationed on the islands jointly staged a trick to make the Americans believe that not only were they under attack and suffered heavy casualties, but the Taiwanese troops were almost unable to withstand it. Let alone rescue the US troops, they could not protect themselves.

.

The war on the Philippine Islands has been going on without interruption since 1911, and the casualties of the US military have skyrocketed. By the end of 1912, the number of US troops stationed in the Philippines has plummeted from more than 70,000 to more than 30,000, with the remaining 40,000

More than half of them will stay in the tropical rainforest of the Philippines forever and cannot return home. The more than 20,000 American wounded soldiers who returned home due to injuries and their families and friends in the United States have also set off a uprising in the United States.

War waves chao.

And 1912 was another election year in the United States. Starting from 1897, the Republican Party won three consecutive presidential elections, thus suppressing the Democratic Party politically. The Democratic Party was unwilling to be the opposition party all the time.

The Republicans were worried about finding obvious flaws in the ruling party. Now, these wounded soldiers and their families who had been evacuated from the Philippines have become a useful weapon for the Democrats to attack the Republicans.

The Communist Party has seized control of the Republican Party, and there has been a split within the Republican Party. Ever since Taft took over the presidency from Theodore Roosevelt, the president, who was a lawyer, has deviated more and more.

Roosevelt’s governing philosophy, both externally and internally

Unlike Roosevelt, who was very tough, President Taft tended to be more traditional and conservative, and the Republican Party was gradually controlled by the conservative forces represented by Taft, and before the 1912 presidential election, Taft was again

Determined to be the Republican presidential nominee.

Theodore Roosevelt, who had given up any hope for Taft to be in power, saw that the Republican nomination fell to Taft again, and he immediately became angry. He used the power of his family to split off some people from the Republican Party and establish

A new political party, the Progressive Party, was formed. At this time, the Democratic Party also proposed their presidential candidate, the governor of New Jersey and the former president of Princeton University, Woodrow Wilson.

In this way, in this year's election, there were three presidential candidates running for the first time, and these three candidates were all heavyweights. However, because the Republican Party has been divided, some people support Taft

, and some people support Roosevelt, so Wilson, whose reputation and strength are not weaker than the two of them, will go smoothly.

Elected as President of the United States, he received 6 million votes in the popular vote, while Roosevelt and Taft received 4 million and 3.5 million votes respectively. In the electoral votes, Wilson's advantage was even more obvious.

The 435 votes he received was several times more than Roosevelt and Taft combined.

Since then, the Republican Party, which has occupied the highest leadership position in the United States for 16 years, lost to the Democratic Party in this election, and many states previously held by Republicans as governors have been replaced by the Democratic Party.

Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the United States, was the first president in the history of the United States to hold a doctorate in philosophy, and he was also one of the few civilian presidents in the history of the United States. Starting from the first president, Americans have

It is customary to elect a civilian president every ten years or so, and Wilson just happened to catch this train.

The first thing Wilson did when he came to power was to promise the guarantee he made to the American people during the campaign, which was that young Americans would no longer die in the far East. And Wilson's first proposal after taking office was also

It requires the approval of the U.S. Congress, and the United States negotiates with the Philippine Du Li organization and formulates a troop withdrawal plan. Due to the dominance of the Democratic Party in Congress, coupled with the serious anti-war and war-weary sentiments in the United States at that time, this proposal was quickly

It passed the deliberation of the House of Representatives and the Senate and became a formal bill.

On February 10, 1913, a negotiation delegation organized on behalf of the United States government and the Philippines officially departed from San Francisco by boat and headed for Manila, the capital of the Philippines. The U.S. Governor in the Philippines also officially informed the Taiwan government that the United States would negotiate with the Philippines government.

li organizes "Filipinos" to negotiate, and the final result is likely to be a troop withdrawal. Under this situation, it is best for Taiwan's troops in the Philippines to exercise restraint and not to carry out large-scale suppression activities or cause greater trouble.
