Puppet Manchukuo, Kwantung Army Headquarters. "Your Majesty, Premier Zhang, please sit down!" Ishihara Wanji met with the Kant Emperor of Puppet Manchukuo Aixinjueluo Puyi and the Puppet Manchukuo Prime Minister Zhang Jinghui in the reception room. Ishihara Wanji was responsible for governing Manchuria.
The country has achieved great results and has been promoted to the commander of the Kwantung Army a few days ago. He has become the actual controller of the puppet Manchukuo and has overall military and political power in Manchukuo. After the "September 18th" Incident in 1931, Japanese imperialism invaded and occupied the entire China
The Northeastern region became a Japanese colony.
On March 9, 1932, under the instigation of the Japanese army, the last emperor Puyi secretly absconded from Tianjin to the Northeast and established the puppet regime of the Puppet Manchukuo in Changchun. Because the Nationalist Government, the Chinese Communist Party and the international community were all opposed to the Puppet Manchukuo regime.
It was not recognized, so it was called "Puppet Manchukuo" or "Puppet Manchukuo". The "capital" was located in Xinjing (now Changchun, Jilin), and the "territory" included the eastern part of China except Guandong Prefecture (now Lushun and Dalian).
The entire three provinces, as well as Chengde City in eastern Mongolia and Hebei Province.
Pu Yi didn't say anything, and sat down on a wooden chair with an expressionless face, just staring at Ishihara Wan'er. "Thank you, Your Excellency, Commander! Congratulations." Zhang Jinghui, with a face full of flattery, nodded and bowed before sitting down.
.Zhang Jinghui, leader of the Fengcian warlords, was born into a peasant family in Bajiaotai, Fengtian (now Tai'an County, Liaoning).
In his youth, Zhang Jinghui followed his father to sell tofu for a living, and later became the leader of the self-defense group. After the September 18th Incident, he became a traitor. He successively served as the Speaker of the Puppet Senate and the Governor of the Eastern Province Special Administrative Region, the Director-General of the Military and Political Department, and the Prime Minister of Manchuria.
The first "Prime Minister" of the "Puppet Manchukuo" was Zheng Xiaoxu, but Zheng Xiaoxu only served for less than two years before he was dismissed by the Japanese because of his speech. Zhang Jinghui, who was the "President of the Senate" at the time, took over as the "President of the Senate".
"Prime Minister", he served as "Prime Minister" for more than ten years, and can be called the tumbler in Manchukuo's political arena.
As the Japanese say, Zhang Jinghui has no independent opinion in doing things and only follows the orders of the Japanese. He is a big traitor who is servile to the Japanese and a complete scum! Give the Japanese whatever they want. In order to support the Japanese invasion of China, Zhang Jinghui
Even the copper handles on the doors and windows of the State Council Office Building were removed and used to make artificial bullets for the Japanese.
"Today, I invite the Emperor and Prime Minister to come to the headquarters. I have an extremely important and exciting matter to discuss with you two!" Ishihara Wanji did not take Puyi's indifferent attitude to heart at all, but instead made an extremely friendly and enthusiastic gesture.
"..."
Puyi remained silent, staring at Ishihara Wan'er, just wanting to see what tricks he wanted to play. It must be said that Puyi was a historical tragic figure. In 1908, he ascended the throne that the world had only dreamed of a few years ago. This
It was also the starting point of his tragic life. Puyi ascended the throne of emperor three times in his life, but eventually stepped down sadly! After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Puyi defected to the Japanese Embassy, and later became the emperor of the puppet Manchukuo, also living a life of imprisonment.
.For an emperor to treat him like this, he couldn't be more cowardly.
Especially when he came back from Japan and said at the ministers' meeting that Manchukuo wanted to be on an equal footing with Japan, the Japanese generals and his so-called ministers left the meeting one by one. Who could he vent his helplessness and anger to?
?Puyi wanted to go to Manchukuo to become the emperor, but Wanrong persuaded him not to go. If he did, he would just be used as a tool by the Japanese. But he went in the end, and he was willing to be a puppet of the Japanese.
Because at that time, Puyi still had illusions, hoping to use the power of the Japanese to restore himself to the throne, and then endure the humiliation and revive the Qing Empire! However, the Qing Dynasty's strength was exhausted, and no one could go against the flow of history.
Puyi frowned coldly and did not answer, but Zhang Jinghui nodded again and responded: "Your Excellency, Commander, it is our great honor to be summoned by you! I don't know what your Excellency, Commander, has ordered, and we will definitely help you with all our strength!"
"Yo Xi! Premier Zhang is indeed the most loyal friend of our Empire of Japan!"
Ishihara Wan'er nodded with satisfaction, then pointed at a big mahogany box on the table and said: "Before getting down to business, I have a small gift that I want to give to the emperor! Come on, give it to the emperor!"
"Hai!"
As soon as Ishihara Wan'er finished speaking, a Japanese guard came over, picked up the mahogany box and came to Puyi and Zhang Jinghui. "Thank you, Commander!" Zhang Jinghui quickly stood up and took the mahogany box with both hands, and then said to Puyi:
"Your Majesty, this is a gesture of kindness from Your Majesty the Commander, please accept it!" "Hmph!"
Pu Yi glared at Zhang Jinghui in displeasure, but had no choice but to reach out and take the big wooden box, and put it on the tea table next to him. Ishihara smiled and asked: "Your Majesty, aren't you curious about what gift is inside?
?Please ask the emperor to open it himself!" Pu Yi bit his lips and reluctantly reached out to open the wooden box. Then his eyes suddenly froze and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ah, this is a piece of wood.
Dragon robe?"
After learning that Puyi was going to the puppet Manchukuo in the northeast to become emperor, the old and young people from the Qing Dynasty rushed over and became Puyi's ministers again. The Japanese also gave Puyi special face and did not stop this group of people. But when Puyi was preparing
When he ascended the throne, the Japanese asked Puyi to wear the uniform of a generalissimo. The old and young people immediately exploded. This was not in line with the rules of the Qing emperor's enthronement.
After much tossing between the two sides, the Japanese agreed that Puyi would wear a dragon robe to perform a short ceremony to worship heaven and ancestors before ascending the throne. After that, he would still have to wear a marshal's uniform during the enthronement ceremony. Puyi's dragon robe still used one of Guangxu's dragon robes.
As for the official uniforms for the elderly and the young, they could only ask people to borrow them or buy them. These improvised official uniforms did not fit at all, and everyone wore them very awkwardly.
Of course, there is also the issue of beads. They simply removed the beads from the abacus and made them into string beads. During the ceremony to worship heaven and ancestors, the Japanese looked at the old people and young people wearing official uniforms of different sizes, as if they were watching a monkey show
.Therefore, the dragon robe was an unattainable luxury item for Puyi, and it was also his obsession and resentment.
However, at this time, Ishihara Wanji personally gave him an extremely exquisite dragon robe. How could Puyi remain aloof and aloof? After the farce of his ascension to the throne, Puyi also visited Japan at the "invitation" of Emperor Hirohito of Japan.
From the moment Puyi stepped into Japan, he was greeted with the highest standards, which made Puyi feel like he had succeeded in restoring the Qing Dynasty.
At the largest banquet, Puyi ate with the Japanese royal family and high-ranking military officials. Before anyone used their chopsticks, Puyi's entourage used silver needles to stir up the dishes one after another. This was all specially ordered by the elders, although these
This was the rule of the emperor when he was eating in the past, but the Japanese wanted to poison Puyi long ago. These actions embarrassed the Japanese emperor present, and he had to wave his hand to suppress his subordinates who were about to attack. "Your Majesty, are you satisfied?"
A proud smile appeared on Ishihara's lips, and then he said with a smile: "I spent a lot of effort to make this dragon robe according to the specifications of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty. It is not an exaggeration to say it is priceless!" "Commander"
Your Excellency, what do you mean by this?" Puyi's hands trembled slightly, his muscles tightened, his eyes flashed with fire, and his face showed an expression of extreme excitement and excitement!
"Your Majesty, I invite you here today. In addition to giving you this gift, I also have extremely important and exciting good news!" Ishihara smiled and said: "You all know that I have been promoted to the commander of the Kwantung Army, that is,
Said that I now have more say! And the emperor should also know that I have always maintained considerable respect and friendship towards you and Manchukuo!"
"Hai! Our Emperor and all the cabinet ministers have always kept your kindness to us, and we are extremely grateful for it! Now that Your Excellency, Commander, has finally taken charge of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, it is really gratifying!" Zhang Jinghui once again spared no effort.
Flattery. "I also have a good impression of your Excellency, Commander!"
Touching the dragon robe and thinking about good things, Puyi had no choice but to lower his noble head and said a kind word against his will! "Hey, Sino-Japanese friendship should be like this!"
Ishihara smiled brightly, and then continued: "In view of the current stable and prosperous social order in Manchukuo, I have petitioned His Majesty the Emperor of Japan to grant him more autonomy! The ultimate goal in the future is to support
Manchukuo will rule more territory and help the emperor regain the glorious national power of the Qing Empire!" "Ah? Are you serious about what your commander said?"
Puyi's pupils suddenly tightened. He had been the puppet emperor of the Puppet Manchukuo for five or six years, and he had long become numb and desperate. He never expected that such a good thing would fall from the sky today. Is it really the blessing of the ancestors, does the sky have eyes? Ishihara Wan'er is sure
He nodded and said: "I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army of the Empire of Japan. Naturally, I always mean what I say. It is absolutely impossible for me to speak nonsense! Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
Soon, the emperor will not only be able to rebuild the Qing ancestral temple and wear dragon robes anywhere, but you will also have your own bodyguards, personally appoint cabinet ministers, and a series of other autonomy rights!"
The last emperor Puyi established the Puppet Manchukuo in the Northeast with the support of the Japanese and was known as the Kant Emperor. During the Kant period, Puyi visited Japan twice and "invited" Japan's Amaterasu back to China and placed it in the Puppet Manchuria Palace.
, and built the Jianguo Temple for it. The Jianguo Temple is a Japanese shrine, but it is also the ancestral temple of the Puppet Manchukuo. In other words, Puyi admitted that he was a subject of Amaterasu (the ancestor of the Japanese Emperor) and a Japanese
The emperor's son, from then on, Japanese shrines began to be built all over the Northeast.
Puyi invited back three treasures of Amaterasu from Japan. For this reason, he also issued an edict recognizing Amaterasu as the national god, allowing all people living in Manchukuo to worship Amaterasu. At that time, if the Jianguo Temple was
Anyone who speaks disrespectfully will be punished. As a descendant of the Qing Dynasty, Puyi was forced to recognize his thieves as his father. Naturally, he felt extremely depressed and painful. However, for the sake of the dream of the Qing Empire, Puyi regarded it as enduring the humiliation and "suffering a heavy burden".
As for the Emperor's Guard, which had long been disarmed and completely controlled by the Japanese, there was no armed force that could be trusted and relied on! But now, these things could be regained overnight, and Pu Yi was naturally overjoyed! "Ah!"
Puyi exclaimed in a low voice again, a raging flame deep in his heart suddenly rose. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Ishihara and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, Commander, what do you want me to do?" "Haha, the emperor is indeed wise.
Wisdom! There is no free lunch in the world, you will get something if you pay!"
Ishihara smiled and nodded, and then went on to boast: "The Empire of Japan now occupies more than half of China's territory, and will further expand its territory in the future and establish an unprecedented Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere! By then, the Empire of Japan will
Naturally, more loyal allies are needed to jointly govern this vast territory.
I remember that the Emperor once mentioned the Indian Federation under the governance of the British Empire. Similarly, I can responsibly tell the Emperor that our Empire of Japan will adopt the same system in the future! By establishing a series of federal countries, the Emperor will be able to obtain maximum benefits.
With high autonomy and diplomatic power, he became the rejuvenating emperor who inherited the Qing Empire!" "Ah, is it really possible?"
Puyi's blood boiled when he heard these words. These words undoubtedly hit the depths of his heart. He had been dreaming of realizing his lifelong wish for many years! Puyi is not a three-year-old child. He naturally knows that under the current situation, if he wants to be completely independent, it is absolutely necessary.
Impossible. Being able to obtain a high degree of autonomy and diplomatic rights is already incredible! "Of course!"
Ishihara Wanji continued to be persuasive: "But this requires a process of hard work! Your Majesty, you should also know the current world situation. The imperial system has been abandoned by many countries, especially your Chinese country. It has long been unable to survive! Our Empire of Japan and the Manchu Empire
We are natural allies in this regard, so we have a common goal and a common enemy, and we need to teach and conquer those ignorant people with iron blood!
Since ancient times, civilization and progress have always required blood and life to commemorate!" As soon as Ishihara Wan'er finished speaking, Zhang Jinghui quickly cheered loudly: "Your Excellency, Commander, you are right! One general's achievements will cause thousands of bones to wither, and the emperor's foundation will be destroyed since ancient times.
There was a war process involving mountains of corpses and seas of blood!" "Indeed!"
Thinking of the humiliation he suffered after the end of the imperial system and the glorious history of the Qing Dynasty, Puyi gritted his teeth, turned to look at Ishihara and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, what exactly do you need me to do, please just tell me!"
"It's very simple. It can be described in four words, that is "mutual help and win-win"!" Ishihara smiled proudly, and then told the specific implementation plan he had prepared! "Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Puyi said "yes" three times in a row, and said excitedly and sincerely: "As long as your Excellency, Commander, can keep his word, I will definitely cooperate with you, and the 36 million people of Manchukuo will also go all out!" "Please, Your Majesty!
Don’t worry, I represent His Majesty the Emperor, and there will never be any mistakes! I hope we can accomplish great things together and create a foundation that will last forever!” Ishihara Wanji stood up, walked over, shook hands with Puyi tightly, and made the reservation.
"A gentleman's agreement"! "Ishihara-san, will this cause trouble for tigers?"
When Puyi and Zhang Jinghui walked out of the headquarters happily, Hashimoto Kintaro, who had been impatient for a long time, walked over. "Hashimoto-san, you are overly worried! It is said that there must be brave men under heavy rewards, and even more so
What's more, Puyi is an ambitious person! As long as we take advantage of the situation, he will be very useful to us!" Ishihara smiled confidently: "Manchukuo has a population of more than 36 million. We can't just keep them in captivity and use them as pigs.
Now it is even more important for them to stand up and take up arms to fight the Soviet Union and the Republic of China government!
The blood of the warriors of the Japanese Empire must be shed as little as possible, especially as the scale of the war is expanding uncontrollably, we need more cannon fodder!" As the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier, before Tojo Hideki dominated the puppet Manchukuo, he not only controlled
He seized military and political power and turned the entire Manchukuo into a private kingdom!
Ishihara Kanji, who claims to be the father of "Manchukuo", was once completely excluded from the circle of power and found it difficult to display his ambitions and business strategies! Due to the emergence of Yang Fan, a series of butterfly effects were produced, and Ishihara Kanji is now
Finally, he was pushed to the pinnacle of the puppet Manchukuo. In order to control the military and political power and let Manchukuo develop and operate according to his own vision, Ishihara Wanji naturally reshuffled the cards and placed many of his old friends and confidants in various important positions in Manchukuo.
Position!
"Ishihara-san Takami! The current war situation is very unfavorable to the empire. The Japanese Empire has shed too much blood!" Hashimoto Kintaro paused, and then continued: "I also very much look forward to Manchukuo becoming a great Japan.
The engine of the empire, I look forward to the empire achieving a foundation that will last forever!" "Yoshi! The next great cause will require Hashimoto-san's full help!"
Ishihara Wan'er looked into the distance with great ambition and said: "Our opponents are very powerful, we need more help and savings!" After Puyi returned to the palace, he excitedly transferred his younger brothers Pujie, Xianju and Xiandong to the palace.
, Xiankai, Xianli and other clan members, as well as his third wife Tan Yuling, gathered together and told in detail what happened today.
"Is this true? Your Majesty, doesn't it mean that we really have hope of restoring our country?" After listening to Puyi's story, Tan Yuling was extremely happy. She was originally a Manchu noble, and her surname was Tatala. She changed her surname after the Revolution of 1911.
Tan is also Puyi's most beloved wife. When Puyi met Tan Yuling, she was only 17 years old and studying in school.
Although the Qing Dynasty fell, Tan Yuling's ancestors were still proud to be a relative of the emperor and sent Tan Yuling to Puyi. Puyi married 5 wives in his life, namely Wenxiu, Wanrong, Tan Yuling, Li Yuqin and Li Shuxian.
. Erdet Wenxiu was selected as the imperial concubine in 1922 based on a photo, and was married to Queen Zao Wanrong on the same day. In August 1931, she took the opportunity to escape from Tianjin and publicly stated in the newspaper that she was divorcing Puyi. The "Knife Concubine Revolution" suddenly
It became huge news; in October, he officially announced his divorce from Puyi.
In 1932, he taught at the private Sicun Primary and Secondary School in Peking. He later resigned because he could not bear the harassment. After the "July 7th Incident", he resolutely refused the coercion and inducement of the Japanese and puppets, and he did not suffer any loss. Guo Bulo Wanrong was the last empress.
After being abandoned by Puyi, he went to self-destruction. He was thrown into the cold palace due to opium smoking, adultery with guards and other reasons. Now he lives a life of neither human beings nor ghosts!
Pu Yi was extremely happy and proud and said: "At the beginning, I thought it was incredible and thought it was just hysteria, but it is true! You see, this dragon robe was customized by Ishihara Wanji himself!" "Wow,
Great! The ancestor has appeared!" Aixinjueluo Xianjue was also very excited. She is a distant relative of Puyi and the most famous Yoshiko Kawashima in history!
Yoshiko Kawashima successively held important positions such as "Commander-in-Chief of the Anguo Army" and "Commander-in-Chief of the North China People's Self-Defense Force" of the Puppet Manchukuo State. She also participated in secret military operations such as the Huanggutun Incident, the September 18th Incident, and the Manchurian Independence Movement. Yoshiko Kawashima
She also personally directed the events that shocked China and the world, such as the Shanghai Incident on December 8th and the transfer of Wanrong, which caused disaster to the country. She was known as the "Female Spy in Men's Clothes" and the "Oriental Witch".
Aixinjueluo Xiandong frowned and said: "Your Majesty, this is simply a conspiracy of the Japanese. They want us Chinese to kill each other! Therefore, I think it is better not to cooperate with Japan!" 1921
Eight-year-old Xiandong, his sister Xianju, and his brother Xiankai followed Kawashima Naniwa to Japan to receive Bushido education and were renamed Kawashima Ryoji.
In 1929, Xiandong met the leader of the Tokyo student movement, Japanese Communist Yuhiko Kato, and entered a new spiritual world and accepted the baptism of red ideological trends. On February 9, 1935, Xiandong returned to Xinjiang, the capital of the puppet Manchukuo.
Beijing (Changchun), renamed Jin Xiandong. He served as company commander of the Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment of the Puppet Manchu Army. During this period, Jin Xiandong frequently contacted relatives with anti-Japanese ideas, prepared for mutiny, and defected to the anti-Japanese armed forces. However, it was too difficult to stage a mutiny.
Yoshiko Kawashima glared at Xiandong in great displeasure and said, "Aren't you a descendant of Aixinjueluo? You think you are a Chinese, but they don't regard us as Chinese! If it hadn't been for the rebellion of those Han soldiers and ruffians,
After the end of the imperial system, how did our Aisin Gioro royal family end up where we are today?"
Xiandong retorted coldly: "The Japanese have no good intentions. How can they sincerely help us restore the Qing Empire? It's nothing more than a trick to kill people with a borrowed knife!" Yoshiko Kawashima said angrily: "So what? We still can't help us restore the Qing Empire?"
Do you have a choice? How can there be a free lunch in the world? What's more, those Han people were rebellious first. We are just turning things around and returning the world to a peaceful and prosperous age!" "Okay! Stop arguing!"
Pu Yi waved his hand in annoyance and said to Xiandong: "We are all descendants of Aisin Gioro, and we have noble blood flowing in our bodies! From the moment we were born, we were destined not to be ordinary people, so we cannot
Look at the world with the eyes of ordinary people! Ishihara Kanji is indeed different from other Japanese people. We cannot refuse the conditions he offers. No matter what, we must work together and give it a try. If we can restore the Qing Empire,
In the future, when you come under the Nine Springs, you will be able to smile at your ancestors!"
"What the emperor said is absolutely true! We can find wealth in danger, and we cannot let go of this opportunity no matter what! We must establish a strong military force as soon as possible to let the Japanese know how powerful our Eight Banners disciples are!" Yoshiko Kawashima's eyes flashed with excitement.
I am so excited that I have already started planning in my heart.
Pu Yi nodded with great satisfaction and said: "That's right! You need to be strong to make iron. As long as we show enough utilization value, we will have enough bargaining chips. When the time comes, we won't be afraid that the Japanese will turn their backs and refuse to admit their mistakes!" "The emperor is wise!
"!" "The Qing Empire will definitely rise again!" Pu Jie, Tan Yuling and others shouted one after another. Fed up with their cowardice, they were extremely eager to regain their dignity, honor and independence!
