Chapter 199: Boycott of British goods

The incident of the Chinese people besieging the British Embassy spread throughout the embassy area immediately. By the way, the current ambassador to China is really not a good job.

The former Minister of the *** village almost had a concussion and ran back to China in shame; the former Russian Minister Chekov was deported from China by being detached from the country, and then evaporated from the world in Russia; the French Minister of the throne was poured into a basin of water and was soaked; the US Embassy was thrown into a large amount of filth for no reason. Although it was not found out that he was ugly afterwards, everyone's heart was lit, probably related to the head of the military government who took it as their responsibility to disgust others.

Now that I heard that the British Minister Wilson was hit by a rotten egg, the ministers of various countries finally had a balanced mentality. They were both in the world, and they were brothers and brothers, so don’t make fun of each other.

The other ministers had no choice but to embrace the British experience during this period. The German minister Hai Jing felt the most happy. While watching the fun around him as if nothing had happened, he secretly reported to German Emperor William II, believing that a conflict between China and Britain was beneficial to the empire and should be secretly supported. The French minister had secretly contacted Wilson, believing that Britain and France should stand together and fight against the military government together. Since the Americans had not yet achieved the same status as their strength in the international community, they pretended to be hypocritical to persuade each other.

The reaction of the *** people was not only silent but also silent. Ito had been worried since Juerdian was arrested. I don’t know when the Chinese would come to him. However, as the military government completely pushed the crime to the British, he breathed a sigh of relief. Whether it was Juerdian’s friend enough or the military government deliberately concealed it, it all means that China has no intention to deal with the *** government at present.

Of course, what countries unexpectedly expected was that the Chinese people besieged the British Embassy, ​​which was still the prelude and the climax was far from here.

With the role of the Beijing people, anti-British marches began to break out in various parts of the country. For a time, affected by the British, foreigners in China hid at home and did not dare to go out because most Chinese people could not distinguish the difference between British and other foreigners.

Shanghai, Asia Times newspaper.

Because the Asia Times can report some major events clearly and clearly, its reputation is getting bigger and bigger. At least in the south, many newspapers are staring at it and are always ready to reprint some of the above news. Of course, everyone is not fools. You can more or less guess that this newspaper has a close relationship with the military government. However, this indescribable secret is only circulated in the upper class, and ordinary people are not very clear about it.

At this time, in the newspaper conference room, editor-in-chief Tang Youcai was holding a thick stack of materials and frowning, while newspaper chief Shen Xu looked at him with curiosity, while many other reporters were holding paper and pen, ready to record the leader's speech at any time.

Whenever the editor-in-chief had this expression, Shen Xu knew that something big was going to happen.

As expected, Tang Youcai slowly put down the information, stood up, his expression on his face became serious, and after looking around and attracting everyone's attention, Fang Bubu said slowly: "Everyone, Tang has always thought that publishing newspapers is not only about enlightening people's wisdom, but also about resisting the invasion of the great powers."

All the focused editors and reporters nodded in agreement. The newspapers played a role in raising heavy weight in the Chinese and foreign cultural confrontation that occurred a few days ago.

Tang Youcai raised his tone and continued: "Now, China and the UK are in a confrontation. As Chinese, we cannot stand by and watch. In addition to constantly exposing the ugly faces of the British, we should play a greater role."

Everyone looked at him with curiosity, waiting for his explanation.

Tang Youcai's eyes became firm and said loudly: "We want to play a leading role. Due to these and other concerns, it is impossible for the government to explain some things clearly, but the people do not have such concerns. Tang is willing to use a three-foot pen tip to call on the whole nation to boycott British goods."

"Boycott British goods?" Some people asked in confusion.

No one has clearly proposed a similar concept at this time.

"Yes, we should call on the people to be proud of not using British goods. The British have earned a lot of foreign exchange through trade with China. Whether from an economic or political perspective, boycotting British goods at this time is beneficial and harmless. They do not use British goods and do not eat British goods. Start with me, start with everyone, start with China, and make British goods unsold. Of course, boycotting British goods does not mean not learning other people's advanced science and technology. These two things are simply something they don't want to do."

Everyone's eyes were shining and they began to bow their heads and think.

Shen Xun said with some concern: "Now most ordinary people cannot tell the difference between British goods and other countries. If Guangguang resists British goods, of course there will be no problem, but it involves other countries. At that time, countries will unite to promote technological advances on China and prevent some technical things from flowing to China, it will be more than worth the loss."

Tang Youcai looked at Shen Xi with appreciation, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, I'm prepared for it."

After saying that, he picked up the information he had just read, raised it in his hand, and continued: "These documents have included various British goods in detail. As long as we disclose these, the public can distinguish the difference between British goods and goods in other countries."

With such detailed information, Shen Xu naturally would not believe that Editor-in-Chief Tang collected it based on his own abilities. It seems that it was coming from the north again.

Tang Youcai clapped his hands and ordered: "Okay, everyone should take action. Shen Xu, contact the newspapers that are related to us and persuade them to complete this matter with us. Others will list these goods lists and compile them into simple and easy-to-understand words so that the people can remember them as soon as possible."

The next day, a spontaneous civil action boycotting British goods began quietly and gradually swept across the country.

"Boycotting British goods, start with me. It is time for the Chinese nation to take action. The despicable and shameless actions of the British have allowed us to see their hypocrisy and shamelessness. Therefore, this newspaper calls on the general public to consciously and spontaneously boycott British goods and prevent them from taking out a piece of copper from our pockets."

"This year, you don't use camel cards when using matches, drink wine, don't drink Xiao Sanyang, don't wear Decas, the people's eyes are bright, and these goods with Chinese names are originally from the UK."

As soon as the people in Shanghai woke up, many shouts of newspaper boys rang out from the streets and alleys.

"Come on, come and see, patriotism starts with me. Major newspapers call on everyone to firmly resist British goods. Even if it is toilet paper used to wipe your butt, please give up making it in the UK."

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know, buy a newspaper and go and have a look."

"Grandma's, it turns out that the newspaper called on everyone not to use British things and not let the British make our money. It's right. I've had this idea for a long time, but it hasn't been implemented."

"When we talk about our hearts, we have unconditional support. Whoever uses British goods will be the thief."

…

All kinds of news spread, and it turned out that patriotism was so simple that the masses began to boil, and newspaper boys were even more happy. As long as they ran to the crowd of people marching against Britain, they would shout and the newspapers would run out soon.

Almost at the same time, newspapers from all over the country responded to the call and reported on a large scale, not only did they find out the sales of British goods in various places, but also reporters began to specialize in squatting. Once they saw someone coming to buy British goods, they tried their best to dissuade them, which made some bosses selling British goods laugh and cry, but they did not dare to object.

The massive boycott of British goods soon spread all over the country, and the masses began to organize spontaneously, and everyone was ashamed of buying British goods.

Some British rewarders began to panic, people died of money and birds died of food. The goods in their hands were unsold, and some of the originally sold goods were also requested to return the goods. British merchants asked the British government to put pressure on the military government.

Ye Zhikui spread his hands and said helplessly to Wilson standing in front of him: "Do they don't want to use it themselves? Does the military government still force them to use it? Isn't the UK a country that claims to be democratic? Buying things and doing business is everyone's freedom, and the military government cannot control it. It's really powerless."
