Chapter 628: Wang Jingwei ran away
Wang Jingwei, a man who has been running around for the revolution in history, even sacrificed his life and had a very glorious history.
On May 4, 1893, firecrackers lit up at the door of the house of Wang Jiao, a Zhejiang businessman living in Fanyu County, Guangdong Province. Wu gave birth to a boy for him and named him Wang Zhaoming.
62-year-old Wang Jiao was a scholar who lost his name and went to business. He had a little ink in his stomach and had a child in old age. The joy in his heart was imaginable. Therefore, since he was five years old, Wang Zhaoming began to recognize words.
Wang Jiao likes Wang Yangming's philosophy and Lu You's poems. When he is old, he is dizzy and can only recite it by his beloved son. Yangming's philosophy and Lu You's bold writing style have thus deeply influenced the young Wang Zhaoming.
As his parents passed away one after another, Wang Zhaoming started teaching in private schools at the age of 17. At the age of 18, he passed the scholar with the first place in the Guangdong provincial examination. He can be called a beautiful young man and a young man in the turbid world.
In 1904, Governor Cen Chunxuan of Guangdong and Guangxi selected 50 students from the Japanese University of Political Science and Law to complete the program. 21-year-old Wang Zhaoming passed the exam and took a boat to Japan and started his overseas study with public expenses of 30 yen per month.
This was the Russo-Japanese War. In order to win the war, Japan mobilized nationwide. Whenever a front-line war report came, the teacher would stop giving lectures and organize students to learn the news in the newspaper. The spirit of unity and patriotism in the Japanese was stimulated.
Various revolutionary parties began to emerge in Japan. There were both royalists represented by Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao, who advocated reform, and the revolutionary parties who advocated expelling the Tartars and restoring China through violent revolution. For a time, Mi
Ten thousand international students gathered in Japan actually formed the revolutionary base camp.
Because Wang Zhaoming studied the quick-research course at the University of Political Science and Law, he was influenced by Rousseau's "The Constitution of the People", Montesquieu's "The Spirit of All Laws", and Spencer's "The Theory of Political Evolution", and naturally regarded the corruption and autocracy as the Qing Dynasty.
The government is the source of all evil, and is determined to overthrow the autocratic feudal dynasty and establish a Western-style democratic republic.
The revolutionary party at that time had the greatest influence, the "Xingzhong Association" of the Guangdong faction led by Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing, the Hunan faction "Huaxing Association" of Song Ren, and Zhang Binglin's "Liberation Association". Huang Xing appealed to international students.
Strong, but short Sun Yat-sen put forward a set of "Three Principles of the People". Wang Zhaoming is from Guangdong and loves Sun Yat-sen's "Three Principles of the People", so he naturally has to join the "Xingzhonghui" and rely on his talents and expertise.
The speech soon stood out. When Sun Yat-sen joined forces with Huang Xing, Song Renjiao's Hunan "Huaxing Association" and Zhang Binglin's Zhejiang "Liberation Association" to establish the "China Tongmeng Association", Wang Zhaoming was elected as one of the main initiators
The Tongmenghui reviewed the minister of the department. At this time, the Tongmenghui had only three departments.
Wang Zhaoming, who was the Minister of the Tongmenghui Review Department, took the meaning of Jingwei's land reclamation and changed his name to Wang Jingwei.
By the winter of 1906, the Tongmenghui launched six armed uprisings, all of which failed and sacrificed many young revolutionaries. At this time, Liang Qichao and other royalists took the opportunity to criticize the revolutionary party's violent revolution.
When modern people evaluate the figures of the Republic of China, they often feel that their thoughts and behaviors sometimes become confused. This is mainly because they are explorers and pioneers. They cannot figure out many problems themselves, and they just move forward step by step.
. Liang Qichao is very complicated. He was a giant in modern Chinese thought. He launched Kang-Liang reforms with Kang Youwei. He wrote a lot throughout his life and kept exploring ways to save the country and the people. After the failure of the Hundred Days Reform, Liang Qichao traveled to Japan and still advocated
Reform and reform. Of course, Liang Qichao later gave up reformism.
Liang Qichao is a great writer and thinker, and his criticism is also particularly sharp. He said that the leaders of the revolutionary party themselves hid overseas, but instigated young people to die and were long-distance revolutionaries. This statement caused a great response among overseas Chinese.
, a trend of criticizing the leaders of the revolutionary party was set off. Some people within the Tongmenghui began to oppose Sun Yat-sen, mainly two points: one criticized Sun Yat-sen's dictatorship, and the other criticized Sun Yat-sen for misappropriating revolutionary funds. As a result, there was a split within the Tongmenghui and Zhang Binglin announced his withdrawal.
Under such circumstances, Wang Jingwei went north to Beijing and began his righteous act of assassinating the Qing Dynasty Regent Zaifeng. Although the final assassination failed and Wang Jingwei was also arrested and imprisoned, Wang Jingwei became a world-renowned warrior.
Another political capital of Wang Jingwei was to write Sun Yat-sen's "Prime Minister's Will". At that time, Sun Yat-sen was critically ill in Beijing, but Sun Yat-sen did not designate the heir of the Kuomintang and left no last words. Wang Jingwei and others were very anxious, so Wang Jingwei drafted the "Prime Minister's Will"
, read it word by word to Sun Yat-sen. After hearing it, Sun Yat-sen did not modify a single word and was very satisfied. In other words, the "Prime Minister's Will" that the Kuomintang hung on the wall every day and allowed the party members to remember it in their hearts is actually Wang Jingwei's thing.
With strong political capital, no greed, no prostitutes, no gambling, no draw, and no power, Wang Jingwei has a high prestige within the Kuomintang. However, when did China truly have peace since the success of the Xinhai Revolution?
Everything has to be decided by the gun. Wang Jingwei, who is good at speaking, met Chiang Kai-shek, who is good at military affairs, and the result can be imagined. After several battles, Chiang Kai-shek became the actual leader of the Kuomintang and the Republic of China, and Wang Jingwei became the second person
.
At the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei advocated the War of Resistance. Chiang Kai-shek made a famous Lushan conversation, and Wang Jingwei's conversation was also inspiring. He once said excitedly: "For several years, the National Government has not cared about the greatest patience and is looking forward to it.
China and Japan have a sincere hand in hand for one day. The sound of cannons at the Lugou Bridge has made China at the verge of last moment. With this step, the fate of the country and nation will be trapped in the abyss of eternal destruction, so we must not help but be determined by unanimousness.
, die at this last moment." "The current situation is at the last moment, so we must have great determination and courage to sacrifice... If we do not sacrifice, we can only be puppets."
Chiang Kai-shek has a tough personality and never gives up until the last moment. He advocates exchanging space for time and is mentally prepared for the fall of large areas of land. Wang Jingwei is impulsive and often goes to extremes. He often resigns when encountering difficulties. He falls in Nanjing in the late stage of the Battle of Songhu.
Wang Jingwei's thoughts took a sharp turn and lost confidence in the future of the war. This loss of confidence not only caused a loss of confidence in the war situation, but also a loss of confidence in the Kuomintang politics.
During the August 13th Shanghai War of Resistance, Wang Jingwei was a firm war pro-war faction. As the Chief Executive, he was dedicated to supporting the 19th Route Army in the War of Resistance and took many measures. However, he found that whether it was the Central Army or the Miscellaneous Army,
He could not even mobilize any soldiers, including Zhang Xueliang who had abandoned the Northeast, but he did not obey his orders. Wang Jingwei sent people three times to urge Zhang Xueliang to send troops north, restrain the Japanese army, and reinforce the Shanghai battlefield. As a result, Zhang Xueliang invited Wang Jingwei's special envoy to come.
The eight great hutongs drink every day. Zhang Taiyan, a veteran of the Republic of China, couldn't stand it and went to find Zhang Xueliang with a cane, but Zhang Xueliang was full of beauties, so he was not willing to go to war. If he wanted to fight, he would not lose the three northeastern provinces. In the end, Zhang Xueliang opened the door to Wang Jingwei.
The condition was that the troops could be dispatched, but they needed to allocate 5 million yuan in military salary every day. Yan Xishan in Shanxi was good, but he only agreed to support 100,000 grenades to the 19th Route Army, so I won’t talk about the others. Until the 19th Route Army
Forced to retreat on the whole line, and the end of the August 13th War of Resistance, Wang Jingwei was unable to transfer a reinforcement for the 19th Route Army. At this point, he completely saw the faces of various Chinese warlords.
Zhou Fohai, Mei Siping, Gao Zongwu, Tao Xisheng, Hu Shi and others kept bewitching, making Wang Jingwei think that Chiang Kai-shek's scorched earth resistance was just a high-profile sing. He believed that China was too far from Japan in terms of economy, military and weapons, and was more inclined to be with
The Japanese talk about peace. The article "We All Want to Tell the Truth" is a true portrayal of Wang Jingwei's thoughts after the transformation. Hu Shi also named their small group "Low-key Club". However, Hu Shi is good at speculation in politics and participates in low-key
The club advocated peace talks to raise his political status. After Chiang Kai-shek appointed him as ambassador to the United States on September 17 in order to strengthen relations with the United States, he broke off from the low-key club.
The war between the two countries, whether in ancient and modern times, China and abroad, will be the main war and the main peace faction. Wang Jingwei started to lead the peace, which did not mean that he began to want to be a traitor at that time. Chiang Kai-shek did not close the door to peace talks with Japan at the beginning, and the German ambassador
Todman once mediated the Sino-Japanese War, but the Japanese had too much appetite and had no success. If the Japanese agreed to end the war and withdraw from North China and Central China at that time, they would only require the National Government to recognize Manchuria and some of their special rights and interests in China.
Chiang Kai-shek would definitely agree to a ceasefire and focus on dealing with the Communist Party. However, the Japanese were so vicious that they were so ignorant that they had to completely destroy China by relying on their strong ships and cannons. The peace talks would naturally be impossible. Wang Jingwei's proposition would have no market within the Kuomintang.
.
Gaozongwu's trip to Japan made Chiang Kai-shek cut off peace talks with Japan. Coupled with the Eighth Route Army's record and Liu Yimin's long talk with Chiang Kai-shek in Xuzhou, Chiang Kai-shek was full of confidence in the victory of the War of Resistance. This made Wang Jingwei advocated that Chiang Kai-shek would come forward to preside over the peace talks with Japan.
Totally destroyed.
Wang Jingwei was different. He had been in Japan for a long time and had a deep understanding of Japan's national conditions. He believed that the reason why the Eighth Route Army could achieve some victory was that it took advantage of the Japanese loopholes. As long as the Japanese army concentrated its forces against the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army would be defeated immediately.
Therefore, while Gao Zongwu's trip to Japan, while Chiang Kai-shek cut off peace talks with Japan, he knew that the Japanese government intended to let him come forward to organize a new government. Wang Jingwei, who represented China and Japan, was completely stunned and forgot that he had no guns and no soldiers.
He was determined to leave Chiang Kai-shek behind and take the lead in peace talks with Japan instead, and take the path of peaceful saving the country.
As the situation worsened in the late stage of the Wuhan War, Wang Jingwei began to jump out, frequently met with foreign journalists, and repeatedly made peace talks. This annoyed the people who insisted on the war of resistance to the end. On October 28, the Second Congress of the National Political Consultative Conference was held in Chongqing.
The convening of the patriotic overseas Chinese Tan Kah Kee sent a telegram proposal from Singapore with only 11 words: "Officials talk about peace and judge the crime of traitors." Wang Jingwei was greatly stimulated and said sophistry, "Prime Minister Sun often says peace and saves the country. If peace is discussed, it is a traitor and a traitor.
Then the Prime Minister is also a traitor."
As soon as Wuhan and Guangzhou fell, Wang Jingwei sent Mei Siping and Gao Zongwu as his plenipotentiary representative to negotiate secretly with Japan. After the signing of the "Chongguangtang Secret Agreement", Wang Jingwei summoned Zhou Fohai, Mei Siping, Tao Xisheng and others to discuss, and some people were worried about it.
Xiang Chen Gongbo proposed that once this matter is implemented, Wang Jingwei's 30-year revolutionary history will be destroyed.
At this time, the brave little girl who was determined to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, Chen Bijun, who became a revolutionary couple with Wang Jingwei after the victory of the Xinhai Revolution, pushed Wang Jingwei.
Chen Bijun and Wang Jingwei performed a legendary love experience, but at this time she was no longer the little girl who went north to rescue Wang Jingwei alone, but the leader's wife who rolled in the power field. Over the years, Wang Jingwei has been under Chiang Kai-shek.
Chen Bijun had long been impatient. However, Wang Jingwei was no match for Chiang Kai-shek, and Soong Mei-ling suppressed Chen Bijun's limelight again. She had no choice but to be angry. Now the opportunity has emerged, and Chen Bijun is unwilling to miss it.
According to Chen Bijun, when Mr. Wang and Mr. Jiang are together, there will never be a day to make a comeback, and a new situation must be created.
Wang Jingwei is not only full of contradictions in his mind, but also has soft ears. He listens to Chen Bijun for many things. Even if Wang Jingwei disagrees with him, he will have to admit his account after Chen Bijun handles it. What's more, Chen Bijun always takes it wholeheartedly for him?
The big plate is settled, but what to do specifically? The plan seems a bit ridiculous. Wang Jingwei’s idea is to go to Yunnan, establish a government with powerful local factions such as Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, and negotiate with Japan, and then force Chiang to accept it.
Japanese peace talks.
If this plan is seen by normal people, they will burst into laughter. The reason is obvious. Guizhou has been completely centralized since Xue Yue entered Guizhou. Since Liu Xiang's death, Sichuan has no longer had the flag of the commander-in-chief, and the main force of the Sichuan Army has been dispersed.
All battlefields across the country were controlled by Chiang Kai-shek. Only one province in Yunnan is still under the control of provincial chairman Long Yun. Not to mention that Long Yun may not support him. Even if Long Yun supports him, the main force of the Guizhou army went north to fight against Japan, and had no capital and
What can be done?
Wang Jingwei and his wife didn't think so. Their idea was that Chiang Kai-shek was dictatorial and unpopular. As long as Wang Jingwei raised a banner, there would be people who would respond, because Chiang Kai-shek's strategy of taking the southwest as the rear conflicted with the interests of local powerful factions in the southwest.
For this reason, Chen Bijun sent the child away, and Zhou Fohai and Tao Xisheng also made excuses to go to Yunnan. Chen Bijun even flew to Kunming twice and had a long talk with Long Yun. Long Yun also expressed his opinion: "If Mr. Wang comes to Kunming, I welcome it very much.
, If I am willing to go abroad, I will also be responsible for escorting it, and there is no problem with everything."
Based on this, they agreed that Wang Jingwei would fly from Chongqing to Yunnan, then fly to Hanoi, and fly to Hong Kong from Hanoi to start peace talks with Japan.
After Chiang Kai-shek met with Wang Jingwei, he was busy urging localities to implement the spirit of the Nanyue Military Conference, and unexpectedly, Wang Jingwei would have an accident, so he ignored Wang Jingwei.
After Wang Jingwei returned home, he was a turtle eating the weight - he was determined to escape from Chongqing. His wife Chen Bijun had already booked a ticket for British Airways and was preparing to escape on October 8. Unfortunately, Chiang Kai-shek stayed in Chongqing, and Wang Jingwei and his gang did not dare to move.
, 60 yuan of air tickets were wasted.
Dai Li was very alert and knew the situation explained by Tani Shoufu, Otaka Kasumi and others, but he didn't know the situation that Wang Jingwei sent Gao Zongwu and Mei Siping to secretly discuss with the Japanese army and signed the "Chengguangtang Secret Agreement". Besides, Wang Jingwei was very proud of
The vice president of the Kuomintang had a high prestige within the party, even surpassing Chiang Kai-shek. He did not dare to act rashly, but he strengthened the surveillance of Mei Siping, Zeng Zhongming and others. Early in the morning on October 9, Wang Jingwei's secretary Zeng Zhongming came to find Wang Jingwei
, said tremblingly, two spies went to his house yesterday afternoon, and sat for a while, and didn't know what they wanted to do.
In the afternoon, Mei Siping also reported that her residence was under surveillance.
Although Wang Jingwei was a politician, he had no military and had no experience in combat command. However, he had rich experience in concealed struggle. After thinking for a while, he asked his secretary to inform Dai Li to come to see him.
After Dai Li came, Wang Jingwei scolded him fiercely. He said that at this time the Sino-Japanese War had lost his troops and land, and he was ashamed of the country, the people, and the Prime Minister Mr. Zhongshan's spirit in heaven. The reason why he has today
The defeat was caused by the disunity of the party's comrades and mutual suspicion. Like Dai Li, the Military Affairs Bureau, who was in charge of Dai Li, spent so much money on the national army and did not make any achievements in the fight against Japan, and it was not as good as not spending a penny on the National Government.
The Eighth Route Army instructors also arrested and shot a group of traitors. Where is the Military Bureau? The sanctions of Wang Kemin failed and Yin Rugeng failed. Tang Shaoyi did not surrender to the enemy publicly. He might even have been inexplicably killed by the Military Bureau.
The residence. What else can the Military Control Commission do besides keeping an eye on his own comrades and surveillance? It is purely a bunch of money.
Thinking about Dai Li, although he is a genius, how could he be the first in the Guangdong provincial examination in high school at the age of 17, the opponent of Wang Jingwei, the second-ranked figure of the Kuomintang? He was trained to obediently, and he honestly reviewed it and was disgraceful.
Leaving. As for surveillance of Wang Jingwei and his gang, they naturally relaxed.
It was finally time to wait on December 17 that Wang Jingwei learned that Chiang Kai-shek would give a special speech at the camp tomorrow and Wang Jingwei did not have to attend. Wang Jingwei was no longer willing to miss this opportunity, so he decided to leave Chongqing on the 18th.
Chen Bijun was worried that he would not be able to leave, so he suggested to Wang Jingwei that if necessary, her younger brother, Chen Changzu, the principal of Kunming Aviation School, would fly a plane to pick them up and send them to Hanoi. Wang Jingwei laughed at it, thinking that with his identity as the vice president of the Kuomintang, what would it be like to leave Chongqing?
It's difficult. Just leave and walk with a swagger, Chiang Kai-shek can't do anything to him.
On the morning of the 18th, Chen Bijun took his eldest daughter's fiancé He Wenjie, nephew Chen Changshou and Wang Jingwei's secretary Zeng Zhongming to the airport in a jeep and waited for Wang Jingwei to meet.
Wang Jingwei didn't wait, but waited for Zhou Zhirou of the Air Force. He went to Kunming Aviation School to inspect work.
When Chen Bijun saw Zhou Zhirou, he thought it was Chiang Kai-shek who sent them to monitor them. Zeng Zhongming was still sophisticated and said that it was Dai Li who wanted to monitor them, and he would not be from the Air Force. Chen Bijun then felt relieved and chatted with Zhou Zhirou.
Wang Jingwei took his personal guard Gui Lianxuan to arrive late in a black sedan.
The airport staff were familiar with the license plate numbers of the Kuomintang members. They were not surprised to see Wang Jingwei coming.
Zhou Zhirou quickly stepped forward to salute the report. Wang Jingwei stood at the airport and scolded Zhou Zhirou again, saying that it was the advanced Japanese air force and the Chinese air force was behind and he could not even build an aviation bomb. What's wrong?
Come on.
It was not until the airport director Liu Fengzhang came to see him and invited Wang Jingwei and his party to the office for tea and wait, that Wang Jingwei stopped scolding him. When Chen Bijun looked at the watch, he saw that it was only ten minutes before, so he said he would not go to the office and went directly to the plane.
Before getting on the plane, Wang Jingwei also told Liu Fengzhang that the driver had to go to Kunming with him and would not be able to come back in three or five days, and he asked Liu Fengzhang to take good care of his car.
Airport Director Liu Fengzhang immediately stood at attention: "Don't worry, Vice President Wang, you won't lose a single gong."
At nine o'clock, the plane took off on time. At this time, Chen Bijun told Zhou Zhirou that Vice President Wang was invited by Chairman Longyun to give a speech. However, Zhou Zhirou was scolded by Wang Jingwei, so she had no intention of managing the vice president.
Things were just stammering.
Seeing Chongqing getting farther and farther away, Chen Bijun was a little sad, so he said to Wang Jingwei: "Fourth Brother, we are leaving, but I just don't know if the people who stay will be implicated."
Wang Jingwei was very calm and answered no. His reason was that Chiang Kai-shek loved reading "Zeng Gong's Collection" the most in his life and admired Zeng Guofan's way of employing people the most. In order to show his generousness and magnanimity and isolating Wang Jingwei, he not only did not exclude and stay.
The Wang team will also reuse them.
Chen Bijun nodded repeatedly when he said that.
After the plane climbed the altitude and began to fly smoothly, Zhou Zhirou stood up from her seat, saluted Wang Jingwei, and proposed to fly the plane for Dean Wang in person, which was the Air Force to give a report performance to Vice President Wang.
Chen Bijun became alert, afraid that Zhou Zhirou would see the flaws and flew the plane back. However, Wang Jingwei still looked chic: "Okay, okay, this is what I call a leader."
Zeng Zhongming took out his pistol, wrote a note to Wang Jingwei, and sent it to several people, meaning that if an abnormality was found, he would shoot Zhou Zhirou and force the pilot to fly to Kunming.
Wang Jingwei's personal guard Gui Lianxuan was a sharpshooter. After reading the note, he nodded and prepared to kill Zhou Zhirou.
When the plane flew over Luzhou, Chen Bijun looked down and saw two big rivers swaying. Oh my god, isn’t this back to Chongqing? He couldn’t help but shout: “Zhirou, why have you flew back to Chongqing again?”
Zhou Zhirou was immersed in the joy of flying and replied casually: "It's not Chongqing, it's Luzhou."
Wang Jingwei's secretary Zeng Zhongming and guard Gui Lianxuan were very alert, and the muzzle immediately pointed at Zhou Zhirou's back. Wang Jingwei glanced under the wings and said a little impatiently: "The course is right, the place where he passed just now is Tuozhou.
.This is the confluence of Tuojiang River and the Yangtze River. I flew through Kunming many times from Chongqing and the route is very familiar."
Zeng Zhongming and Gui Lianxuan then put away their guns.
The plane finally landed safely at Kunming Airport. Seeing Yunnan Provincial Chairman Long Yun leading a large group of officials to greet him at the airport, Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun felt relieved. A dog couple looked at each other and held each other tightly.
Chapter completed!
