106 years ago today, on February 20, 1919 (January 20, 1919, the North-South Peace Conference was held in Shanghai. The North-South Peace Conference was held in Shanghai. All the representatives attending the meeting took a group photo at the North-South Peace Conference held at the German Federation in Shanghai. The representative of the southern military government was Tang Shaoyi and the representative of the Beijing government was Zhu Qiqian. Since the North-South peace negotiation hinders Japan's interests in China and runs counter to Duan Qirui's intention to "reunify" China by force, the Beijing government only agreed to the peace negotiation under pressure from China and foreign countries. Therefore, representatives of the Beijing government, especially those belonging to the Anfu faction, have no sincerity in negotiating peace. When selecting representatives, Duan Qirui secretly instructed the northern representatives: Peace talks should only fail and not succeed. Tang Shaoyi and Zhu Qiqian delivered separate speeches at the meeting on February 20, 1919. The next morning, the Peace Conference held its first meeting to discuss issues such as the Shaanxi Armistice War. The representative of the south proposed that Shaanxi should immediately cease hostilities, replace Shaanxi Governor Chen Shufan, and stop recruiting troops to participate in the war. In the next few days, since the Beijing government did not stop Chen Shufan from attacking the right-handed Yasukuni Army, Chen Shufan threatened to protest against the five armistice measures agreed upon between the north and the south in Shaanxi. Tang Shaoyi protested to Zhu Qiqian, saying that if Chen Shufan was not replaced and the war in Shaanxi was stopped, he would never discuss other bills. But the Beijing government has never responded. On the 28th, Tang Shaoyi gave the northern representatives two days to reply to the Shaanxi armistice issue. However, there was still no reply and the peace talks were suspended.
