Extended information:

In p>1914, when the First World War broke out, Japan forcibly sent troops to take over the German (allied) concession in Jiaozhou Bay, Shandong Province, and along the Jiaoji Railway, and the China government was unable to stop it.

in order to raise funds, Sun Yat-sen signed a Sino-Japanese loan case of Han Yeping. On February 2, 1915, Japan secretly asked Yuan Shikai for the requirements of Article 21, which were similar to the loan case.

and forced the Beiyang government to recognize all the privileges of Japan replacing Germany in China, further expand Japan's rights and interests in Manchuria and Mongolia, and promised to hire Japanese as consultants.

Japan's request is equivalent to including China as its protectorate. Although the US government protested against Japan when it heard the news, the Japanese side did not withdraw its main demands.

From February 2 to May 7, 1915, it lasted 15 days, and Yuan Shikai's government negotiated with Japan for more than 2 times. During the negotiations, the representatives of China resisted Japanese demands.

Yuan Shikai's government has taken various measures to delay time and reveal Japan's unreasonable demands to all sectors of society, with a view to the international community interfering in this case and arousing domestic public opinion to crusade against Japan. The domestic public's voice against Article 21 is growing louder and louder.

On April 26th, 1915, the representative of Japan proposed the final amendment and made some small concessions. On May 1st, China proposed an amendment, but still insisted on its own position, so the Japanese government abridged the fifth requirement, which was the most unfavorable to China.

On May 6, 1915, Yuan Shikai stated in "President Yuan Shikai's Power Saving" that China's coastal harbors and islands should not be ceded or leased to other countries, and hiring Japanese consultants, Sino-Japanese joint police, ordnance, etc. are "the most important points to control my life and death".

in China, it is not appropriate to break up and ravage the overall situation. However, we should try our best to save one point, that is, to recover one point of rights.

The Japanese government finally became angry from embarrassment and issued an ultimatum to Yuan Shikai's government on May 7, giving a reply before 6: pm on May 9, otherwise necessary measures will be taken. ?

At this time, Japan assumed the posture of a great war, with warships cruising around the Bohai Sea, Shandong and Fengtian troops increasing, Kanto martial law being imposed, and Japanese overseas Chinese returning home in succession.

On May 8th, Yuan Shikai called a meeting of government officials. Yuan Shikai thought that Japan had withdrawn the most unfavorable clause No.5 for China, which was no longer a condition for national subjugation. In order to avoid war, he accepted the Japanese condition.
