On June 11, 1919, Xu Shichang resigned
On 106 years ago today, June 11, 1919 (May 14, 1919, the lunar calendar), Xu Shichang tendered his resignation. On June 1, 1919, President Xu Shichang of the Republic of China submitted his resignation to the Senate and House of Representatives. In his resignation address, he said: Regarding the peace treaty with Germany,"it was originally planned to sign the entire treaty, but reservations were made on various declarations regarding Jiaoao. This was originally a last resort. However, it is already difficult to observe the current situation and retain the level... Internal audit of national conditions and general appearance. We can only attach importance to the opinions of Britain, the United States, and France and resolutely sign the treaty to maintain our country's international status... However, domestic public opinion firmly refused to sign, as if it had made a mistake,... I want to obey public opinion and plan for the benefits, but I can't bear to sit idly by and watch the country's progress. This is what we must say to the outside world." Regarding the North-South Peace Conference in Shanghai, he said: "It was the Shanghai discussion that was suspended and the people were disappointed. In the south, there was only talk of being close but there was no complete solution. In the central government, peace was wanted, but there was no positive effect. ...... This is why I have to blame internally." On the same day, Speaker of the Senate and House of Representatives Li Shengduo and Wang Yitang personally went to the door to return President Xu's resignation message, and jointly sent a telegram: "Check the current treaty. The organization of the administration is a responsible cabinet system. The State Council is responsible for all foreign affairs and internal affairs. There is no rule for the president to take the blame and resign. Moreover, the communication has no legal effect if it is not countersigned by the Prime Minister. Sheng Duo and Tang Yi will pay back the rewards immediately and call on the president to serve as usual." On the same day, Duan Qirui also personally went to Xu's residence to detain him. The contents of the telegrams from various places are to express their attitude towards the signing of the German Peace Treaty, and to express their attitude towards the resumption of the North-South Peace Conference. Those who supported the signing of the Peace Treaty with Germany were Anhui Governor Ni Sichong, Shandong Governor Zhang Shuyuan, Heilongjiang Governor Bao Guiqing, Fujian Governor Li Houji, Shanxi Governor Yan Xishan, Sichuan Governor Liu Cunhou, Gansu Governor Zhang Guangjian, and Songhu Army Protector Lu Yongxiang. Chen Guangyuan, the governor of Jiangxi Province, and Tian Zhongyu, the governor of Chahar, who once opposed the signing of the contract, turned to support the signing of the contract. They advocated: "It is difficult to retain one layer now, but we will choose the lesser of the two evils, and we have no choice but to sign it. "Feng's subordinates Zhang Zuolin, Yu Governor Zhao Ti, Hunan Governor Zhang Jingyao, Zhejiang Governor Yang Shande, etc., not only flattered Xu and could not leave his post during the electricity call, they all made perfunctory remarks. On the 12th,"Gong Yan Bao" published a speech by a "certain monarch" of the Anfu family. "A certain gentleman" said in a sarcastic tone: In the current situation,"I can't bear to leave without thinking about the president, so as to betray the people of the world. This kind of message can only be regarded as a textual view of complaining."
