The struggle movement of the repossession movement, what is the repossession movement?

In response to the imperialists' frenzied plundering of railway construction rights and mining rights in China, the Chinese people launched a patriotic movement to recover their rights. After the American Hexing Company seized the right of way in Yuehan, it defaulted and transferred ** to a Belgian syndicate. The people of Hunan, Hubei, and Guangdong demanded that the contract be "annulled and handled on their own," and the momentum was so great that the US Hop Hing Company made concessions and agreed to annul the contract after extorting more than $6 million in ransom.

The people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, on the other hand, fought against British imperialism in order to recover the right of way in Suzhou, Hangzhou and Ningbo, and raised funds to build roads on their own. The Qing Dynasty first insisted on borrowing money from the British to build it, but was resolutely opposed by the people of the two provinces. Later, fearing to provoke a "popular uprising", the British loan was diverted for other purposes, and the Suzhou-Hangzhou-Ningbo Railway was allowed to be classified as a commercial office.

In order to recover the mining rights from the British Fu Company, the people of Shanxi recovered the coal and iron mining rights in Pingding, Mengxian, Lu'an, and Zeyuanju Prefectures after repeated negotiations after paying the ransom. In the vigorous movement to recover rights, some rights and interests in certain roads and mines were also recovered. Such as Tianjin-Fanzhipu Railway, Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway, Shanghai-Nanjing Railway, as well as Anhui Tongguanshan Coal Mine, Zhejiang Qu, Yan, Wen and other coal and iron mines, Shandong Zhongxing Coal Mine, Sichuan Jiangbei Hall Coal and Iron Mine, Fengtian Jinxi Coal Mine, etc.

Although imperialism was unwilling to give up its vested interests, in the face of the huge mass movement, it had to change its tactics slightly, and after extorting a large amount of ransom, it would return part of its rights in order to ease the resistance. The movement to reclaim rights and interests is a patriotic struggle waged by the broad masses of the people to defend the interests and sovereignty of the state and the nation.

Shandong's movement to reclaim rights was a prominent reflection of the contradictions between China and foreign countries at that time. The gentry and merchant bourgeoisie played a leading role in the movement, but they also showed great weakness and compromise in the struggle, and it was often they who could not resist the pressure and began to give in and back down first; The movement was attended by a wide range of people, including Shandong officials, local gentry, and businessmen and scholars, but the mass base was not solid, so the struggle was weak and the achievements were very limited.

However, in the course of the struggle, the people of Shandong further dealt a blow to the arrogance of imperialist aggression against China and recovered some of the rights of road minerals. As a result of the struggle, people began to realize that in order to preserve China's rights and interests and develop the national economy, it was necessary to first overthrow the reactionary and decadent Qing Dynasty. This led to the transformation of the bourgeoisie into a revolutionary one, and many of them threw themselves into the revolutionary activities of the League.

At the time of the Xinhai Revolution, the bourgeoisie in Shandong finally forced Sun Baoqi to declare independence, hastening the demise of the entire Qing dynasty.
