In the past, Puyi was in the Golden Palace, and he was supported by many ministers. Now he is left alone, and some are absent-minded. Just when Puyi panicked, Feng Yuxiang sent someone to send him a proclamation, asking Puyi to sign it, saying: First, Emperor Xuan Tong of the Qing Dynasty will abolish the title of emperor forever from now on; Second, the government of the Republic of China reduced the cost of subsidizing clean rooms; Within three or three hours, Puyi moved out of the palace and freely chose his residence.
Puyi dared to express his anger, could not resist this ultimatum, and could only obediently obey it.
In fact, Puyi doesn't care about this kind of thing, and it's not the first time that he was ousted. As the saying goes, it is not a shame that a gentleman can go up and down. So, he picked up a pen, signed the proclamation, agreed to do it, and passed it first. But after all, he is not a wily politician, and his ability to bend over and stretch is not at home. In this sudden change, the tide has gone, and there is no psychological counselor to help him. He was at a loss and pessimistic.
Puyi doesn't know what to do next.
When the limited time came, Puyi had to walk out of the Golden Palace and go to Beifu to find his father first.
Puyi fidgeted in Beifu, which was different from Jindian. He not only lost his freedom, but also lost his sense of security. What shall we do? He thought of finding a way out from foreign forces. His first thought was Japan.
Puyi has two trusted ministers, one is Zheng, Consul General of the Qing Dynasty in Kobe, Japan, who has a very close relationship with Japan; One is Luo Zhenyu, who has lived in Japan for a long time, and he is also inextricably linked with Japan.
Zheng is a fellow countryman of Chen, a veteran of the Qing Dynasty. In the Qing dynasty, he was not only the consul general in Kobe, Japan, but also the border inspector in Guangxi. This talented person is outstanding and has strong ability, which is highly valued by both the ruling and opposition parties. He repeatedly refused the invitation of the president of the Republic of China and refused to be an official in the government of the Republic of China, but continued to follow Puyi. Therefore, Puyi regarded Zheng as a rare loyal minister. Puyi expressed appreciation for Zheng's pro-Japanese remarks.
Luo Zhenyu was born as an antique dealer and contacted Japan by selling antiques and cultural relics. In those years, the Japanese upper class, the royal family, the royal family and the business community were very interested in China antiquities. Some Japanese study cultural relics, some collect them, and some resell them for profit. They are mainly interested in China's historical relics. Seeing the favor of Japanese upper class for ancient cultural relics, Luo, as an academic authority on the study of ancient cultural relics in China, made many celebrities in Japan. For some time, he has become a talking and influential figure in Japanese political and business circles. Therefore, Luo made some suggestions for Puyi to move closer to Japan, which also attracted Puyi's attention.
Zheng He and Luo Zhenyu all have their own interests and are willing to help Puyi find a way out. In other words, both of them can help Puyi with ulterior motives and use Japanese forces to achieve their personal goals.
Zheng told Puyi that in order to find a way out, he wanted to take Puyi to the Japanese barracks in Dongjiaominxiang. Zheng said that he made an agreement with Japan's Takemoto in "People's Lane in the East Suburb", and that Takemoto's adjutant Zhong Changqiu put on plain clothes and took a doctor to send Puyi out of the northern government soldiers and take him to the Japanese barracks on the grounds of seeing a doctor. In this way, Puyi is very interested and somewhat tempted. However, due to the opposition of many princes, it did not happen.
The next day, Luo Zhenyu, who was ordered to go to Tianjin for help, came to Beifu. He told Puyi that he had found garrison headquarters, a Japanese soldier in Tianjin. The Japanese side said that Colonel Takemoto in Beijing would send cavalry to patrol near Beifu. If the national army is found to have any abnormal behavior towards Beifu, the Japanese army barracks in Beiping will immediately take "decisive measures".
The news brought by Luo Zhenyu deeply touched Puyi, further confirming that Japanese talents are really reliable targets.
At this time, Puyi took advantage of Duan's joint service to fight against Feng Yuxiang's chaotic situation and sent an appeal for help to the diplomatic mission in China. He also asked the Japanese minister's Suncheon Times to publish an interview with him. The newspaper was ordered to do things, so it was happy to take the opportunity to pull Puyi. In newspapers, it wrote articles one after another to express sympathy for the "royal family" and cursed the national army. In this regard, Puyi is very proud and thinks that Japan is his reliable side.
When the entrance guard of Beifu soldiers was lifted, Puyi was determined to move out of Beifu soldiers and find a place where she could get shelter.
Puyi chose the Japanese Embassy in China as his refuge.
Puyi took the initiative to come to the door to find a backer, waiting for a comeback, and the Japanese ambassador to China was very happy. This is exactly what the Japanese aggression and expansion group wants. Therefore, Japanese ministers tried their best to hold Puyi firmly in their hands and let Puyi get close to Japan wholeheartedly, so as to be useful in the future. To this end, the Japanese ambassador to China, Okanagan, provided all convenience and hospitality for Puyi's entry and accommodation.
After Puyi entered the Japanese legation, the Japanese legation was carefully planned and arranged by the Japanese, and soon became the palace of the Qing emperor.
In this way, Puyi lived the old life of the Qing emperor in the Japanese legation without scruple.
The most interesting example is Puyi's birthday in the Japanese legation. This year coincided with Puyi's 20th birthday, and Japanese ministers held a large-scale celebration for Puyi.
Under the planning of the Japanese minister, this birthday celebration is very grand and unique.
The birthday celebration will be arranged in the auditorium of the Japanese legation.
The auditorium of the Japanese Embassy was newly renovated according to the pattern of the Forbidden City. The floor is covered with a luxurious yellow carpet; There is yellow satin on the plush chair where Puyi sits; The glass screen behind the chair is stuck with yellow paper; All the servants wore red tassels from the Qing Dynasty. There is no difference in etiquette between celebrating a birthday and Qing Palace. More than 600 people, including old people, old ministers, gifts and flatterers, who took the opportunity to curry favor with Puyi and the Japanese, rushed to the auditorium of the Japanese legation. All of them made three obeisances to Puyi sitting in the plush chair and congratulated the emperor on his long life. The atmosphere is very warm.
In the middle of the ceremony, Puyi also delivered an impromptu speech to 600 guests. He was in high spirits at this birthday celebration and enjoyed the scenery for a while, which was more addictive than being an emperor. At the same time, he further realized that only the Japanese still regarded him as the emperor.
At this time, Puyi's determination to take refuge in Japan became increasingly firm.
Another thing that made Puyi grateful was that he wanted to go to Japan, and Japan gave a very satisfactory answer to Puyi's idea of going abroad.
What should Puyi do if he wants to go abroad to Japan? He doesn't know. Just then, his favorite Luo Zhenyu gave him an idea. In order to facilitate the eastward crossing to Japan, we can take two steps: the first step is to go to Tianjin Wharf. I'm going to Japan in Tianjin. When the conditions are met, you can go east by boat. In this regard, Puyi readily accepted.
Luo Zhenyu told Japanese Minister Okanagan Valley about Puyi's idea of going to Japan. Fenzer is very happy. This is exactly what Japan wants. Okanagan valley decided to send the police chief and plainclothes policemen of the Japanese Consulate General in Tianjin to Beijing to escort Puyi from Beiping to Tianjin.
When Puyi arrived in Tianjin, Ji Tianmao, the Japanese Consul General in Tianjin, and the resident officers and soldiers took Puyi off the train. The next day, Shuntian Daily, a Japanese-run newspaper, published a statement by the Japanese ambassador to China in Beiping, explaining that the former Xuantong Emperor suddenly moved to Tianjin. This statement is tantamount to informing Duan Runing and his foreign minister of Puyi's trip to Tianjin.
Puyi came to Tianjin and became more dependent on Japan. The Japanese authorities pulled Puyi closer and closer.
As soon as Puyi arrived in Tianjin, he entered the Japanese Concession and lived in a new house with modern equipment. He became more and more proud.
Although Puyi's grand plan of relying on external forces and restoring Japan remained unchanged, his trip to Japan was postponed due to changes in the domestic situation. As a result, he lived in Tianjin for seven years.
During this long period in Tianjin, Puyi's idea of revenge for restoration became more firm and urgent.
During this period, Zheng He and Luo Zhenyu were the only people around Puyi who could approach and make suggestions. These two people's expressions of indignation at Puyi's current situation are completely in line with Puyi's long-term vision of restoration and revenge. These two men played an important role in the revival of Puyi.
Like Beijing, Puyi in Tianjin is still taken care of by Japan. When Puyi wanted to recover, the Japanese authorities gave all-round help and support mentally and materially.
Japan observed that Puyi liked people to still call him Emperor, and spared no effort to let Puyi know that Japan had never changed its recognition of Emperor Xuan Tong and the throne.
One day, just as the war between warlords was about to burn to Tianjin, Lieutenant General Junichiro Koizumi, commander of the Japanese army stationed in Tianjin, specially came to Puyi's residence and said, "Please rest assured that Emperor Xuantong will never let Japanese soldiers enter the Japanese concession." Puyi was very proud after listening. First, the Japanese military still calls him the title of Qing Emperor. He was flattered. Since Puyi was kicked out of the Golden Palace, no one regarded him as an emperor except his entourage. Today, the Japanese military still respectfully calls him the emperor, making him feel that Japan is his trustworthy friend; Second, the Japanese military also proposed to ensure the safety of Puyi. This expression made the last emperor who had long wanted to travel to Japan feel grateful.
A few days later, Ji Tianmao, the official representative of Japan and Consul General of Japan in Tianjin, invited Puyi to visit Tianjin Primary School for Japanese Expatriates. The event was carefully planned by the Consul General of Japan. Puyi was very happy and accepted the invitation happily.
This activity was originally a very ordinary activity, but the Japanese had ulterior motives to further soften Puyi.
On the way back and forth from Puyi to primary school, Japanese pupils held colored paper flags and cheered "Long live Emperor Puyi!" This scene moved the fragile and incompetent last emperor to tears.
During these years in Tianjin, every festival or Puyi's birthday, the Japanese Consul General in Tianjin, the Japanese garrison commander and his assistants will pay a visit to Puyi's residence. Every "Tianchang Festival" in Japan, Japanese politicians in Tianjin will invite Puyi to visit the military parade.
On another occasion, Puyi went for a walk in Baihe River and happened to see a Japanese warship parked in the middle of the river. While they were watching the beautiful scenery of the warship in the river, the captain of the warship suddenly took a boat near the river bank and hurried to Puyi. I respectfully told Puyi that it was an honor to see your majesty enjoying the beautiful scenery of Japanese warships on the riverside, and I specially invited your majesty to visit the warships.
Puyi readily accepted it, which was a good opportunity for him to further contact with the Japanese military.
When Puyi boarded the warship, the Japanese navy and other senior officers lined up on the warship to meet the head of state and pay tribute to Emperor Puyi loudly.
As the head of state, Puyi reviewed the honor guard on Japanese warships, which was very beautiful.
Shortly after Puyi returned to his residence, the Japanese captain led some Japanese officers to pay a return visit to show their respect for Emperor Puyi. On this matter, Puyi once mumbled to people around him: "From this point of view, I think the Japanese respect me from the heart."
Puyi in Tianjin these years, life is very comfortable, politically proud. First of all, his living conditions are much superior to those of the Forbidden City hall of mental cultivation; Secondly, in the Japanese Concession, Puyi was still honored as the Emperor of Xuan Tong from the official to the folk, which made him both beautiful and proud. Secondly, as the domestic situation eased slightly, several pro-Japanese ministers such as Zheng and others put forward many suggestions on the recovery plan, which was very in line with Puyi's wishes. Therefore, Puyi believes that Japan will be his first foreign aid force day after day, and that day after day's plan should be put on the concrete agenda immediately.
Soon, Puyi sent his younger brother Pu Jie to Japan to study military affairs through the great Japanese warlord Kokura.
Then, step by step, Puyi took refuge in Japan as the puppet emperor of Japan and embarked on the criminal road of supporting Japan's aggression and expansion.
193 1 year, Japan married Puyi before launching the war of aggression against China.
Two months before the "September 18th Incident", Pu Jie returned home from Japan on vacation and brought a message to Puyi from Yoshioka Anyi, a Japanese soldier, saying, "Now Zhang Xueliang is making a lot of trouble. Something may happen in Manchuria in the near future ... Please take good care of Emperor Xuan Tong. Emperor Xuan Tong is not without hope. "
Moreover, before Pu Jie returned to China, the Japanese nobleman Viscount Mizuno greeted Pu Jie, saying that he would go to China to visit Puyi and presented him with a fan.
Shortly after Pu Jie returned to China, Sheng Bang, Mizuno visited Puyi and sent a fan. On the fan, there is a couplet that reads:
"The sky is empty and there is no Fan Li."
Pu Jie's return to China brought two messages, oral and written. In fact, it was a hint given to Puyi by the Japanese invasion and expansion authorities, asking Puyi to know that Japan was going to attack. Puyi's hope is coming!
Puyi met with Japanese first-class war criminals Banyuanzheng Shiro and Kenji Tuihara, and reached a consensus on Puyi's trip to the three northeastern provinces to establish a Japanese puppet state.
One day in September, Lieutenant General Kashii Kohei, commander of the Japanese garrison in Tianjin, took Puyi to the Japanese military camp. When Puyi arrived at the Japanese military camp, he first saw Itagaki Tadashi Shiro, Chief of Staff of Kwantung Army, and was accompanied by Puyi's veteran Luo Zhenyu. After sitting down, Luo handed a letter to Puyi.
This letter was written to Puyi by Zhang, a descendant of Puyi's distant imperial clan and deputy commander of Northeast Security.
Zhang is also the provincial chairman of Jilin province, and Zhang went home to attend the funeral, not in Jilin. Hee-hyun took advantage of this opportunity to seize real power. As the chief of staff of the Northeast Security Command, he ordered Kaicheng to meet the Japanese aggressors and became one of the founding fathers of Japan's puppet country in Northeast China.
Xi Xuan said in his letter to Puyi: He has been waiting for this opportunity for 20 years, and today has finally arrived. Please don't lose the opportunity. Puyi will immediately return to the "birthplace of ancestors" to take charge of the project. With the support of the Japanese, we can occupy Manchuria first and then try to clear customs. As soon as Puyi arrived in Shenyang, Jilin immediately announced the restoration.
1/kloc-0 One day in June, 2008, Kenji Fujiwara, the leader of the Japanese invaders, arrived in Tianjin, and Puyi met Kenji Fujiwara overnight.
Kenji Fujiwara is one of the five major war criminals sentenced to hanging by the international military court. It is said that Kenji Toshihara was a Japanese soldier who started his career by invading China. He can speak fluent Chinese, and wherever he goes, disaster will befall him.
When Kenji Uehara met Puyi, he told Puyi that the Japanese Kwantung Army had no territorial ambitions for Manchuria. He hoped that Puyi would not miss this opportunity to personally lead the country in the birthplace of Aisingiorro's ancestors. Puyi will be the head of this country, and everything can be independent. Finally, Kenji Toshihara also stressed that an independent empire will be established in Manchuria. This empire will be completely ruled by Emperor Xuan Tong.
Puyi listened with rapt attention. He thinks that this is a good opportunity for restoration, and it is now or never, so we should seize the opportunity to go north. So Puyi secretly boarded a Japanese ship overnight and left Tianjin.
Under the arrangement of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Puyi took a boat to Yingkou and then transferred to Lushun overnight.
Puyi waited in Lushun for three months. During this period, many Qing dynasty elders, royalty and some obsessed politicians rushed to meet Puyi when they learned that Puyi was going to restore the throne, and tried their best to pay tribute to Puyi, hoping to buy an official position in the court. Puyi also lived up to expectations, and whoever bought it was welcome. Whoever pays a big price is a big official. As long as he is willing to pay a high price, everyone will have an official.
These people, those who can be officials and those who rely on sports to be officials, have gained something and become upstarts of the puppet Manchukuo. Such as Zheng, Zang Shiyi, Xuan and others, all became officials at or above the ministerial level of the Puppet Manchukuo. Among them, Xuan is ambitious and obsessed with officials. He is not satisfied with being a minister, but also wants to be a prime minister.
Xuan thinks he is a pioneer in restoring Puyi. He first wrote to Puyi, who was still in Tianjin, asking him to be emperor. Later, it paved the way for Shenyang to restore Puyi. Not only that, Xian also sent people to send money to Puyi many times, totaling several hundred thousand yuan. Finally, he explicitly asked Puyi to ask the "emperor" to appoint him as "prime minister".
In fact, these gluttonous people, who defected to the enemy and betrayed the country, did not know at that time. To be big officials, they should not only bribe Puyi, but also bribe the Japanese master Sakahara Kijiro.
No one can be prime minister without Sakamoto Seijiro's consent.
Three months later, just as Puyi was in a hurry to take refuge in Japan, Masajiro Banyuan personally went to Lushun to talk to Puyi.
Banyuanzheng Shiro told Puyi that in order to meet the wishes of "all walks of life" in the three northeastern provinces, "Manchukuo" should be established in the three northeastern provinces. The capital is located in Changchun. Changchun was renamed as Xinjing. This country consists of five major ethnic groups, namely Manchu, Han, Mongolian, Japanese and Korean. Puyi became the head of state and held the power.
Puyi's concern is not the separation of the three northeastern provinces from the motherland, but the establishment of a Japanese puppet country. What he cares about is that he wants to be emperor. He also felt that being in power was not as legitimate as being an emperor, but even more restoration. To this end, Puyi and the Japanese master also bargained.
Finally, Banyuanzheng Shiro said to Puyi: "Being in power is only a transition. It is very clear that Xuan Tong was the 12th emperor of the Qing Empire. After the establishment of the parliament in the future, I believe that the constitution to restore the monarchy will be passed. Therefore, the current ruling is only a transitional method. " It means that Puyi will go to Changchun to take office first and wait until he becomes emperor. Soon, Puyi became the emperor of Manchukuo and was grateful to Japan.
In this way, as the head of a puppet Manchukuo, Puyi became the number one traitor, handing over the three northeastern provinces to Japanese imperialism and becoming a colony of Japan, waving flags and shouting for the aggression and expansion of Japanese militarist groups.
Who did Puyi's puppet Manchukuo accept to engage in "state affairs"? Most of these people were captured by the Soviets.
After Puyi arrived in Changchun, he couldn't wait to have another addiction as head of state. To this end, he also held a grand founding ceremony. The "Founding Fathers" attending the ceremony included Zheng, Luo Zhenyu, Chen Cengshou, and the accompanying Puyi senior minister Zhao, Mongolian princes and nobles, all of whom were Mubaile. Feng officials also include: Zhang Jinghui, former chief executive and governor of Harbin Special Economic Zone, surrendered to Japan, and chairman of Northeast Administrative Committee; Zang Shiyi, former chairman of Liaoning Province who surrendered to Japan; And hee? -former minister of Qing dynasty, former deputy commander of northeast security and chief of staff Zhang who surrendered to Japan; Zhang Haipeng, etc.
At this ceremony, the head of the Japanese Kwantung Army read out the appointment list of the State Council. This list is the appointment of the heads of the ministries of the puppet Manchukuo, that is, the list of the great traitors of the puppet Manchukuo, as follows:
The State Council Prime Minister Zheng; Minister of Civil Affairs Zang Shiyi; Minister of Foreign Affairs Xie Jieshi; Minister of Military and Political Affairs Zhang Jinghui; Finance minister Xi? ; Zhang Yanqing, Minister of Industry; Ding Jianxiu is the Minister of Communications; Feng Hanqing is the Minister of Justice; Minister of Education in Zheng Weiwen (concurrently); Zang Shiyi, Governor of Fengtian (concurrently); Chang in Jilin Province? (concurrently); Cheng Zhiyuan, Heilongjiang (concurrently); Zhao Xinbo, Legislative Yuan; Yu Chonghan, Dean of the Supervisory Institute; Qi Lin, President of the Supreme Court; The Supreme People's Procuratorate Attorney General Li? ; Zhang Jinghui, Speaker of the Senate (concurrently); Tang Yulin, Vice Speaker of the Senate; The Senate participated in Zhang Haipeng, Yuan, Luo Zhenyu and Gui Fu; Hu Siyuan, Director of the Executive Secretariat; Wansheng, Secretary of the Executive Council Secretariat? , Shang, Luo Fuzhen, Xu Baoheng, Lin; Secretary of the interior package; Special officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs:, Jin Bidong, Wang Jilie, Tong,, Shang; The police chief will eventually help; Military attache Zhang Haipeng; Zheng Chui, Secretary General of the State Council; The State Council Secretary-General JUNG WOO.
Puyi's long-awaited stage glory has been realized, and he is very proud.
After the ceremony, Puyi became the puppet head of state. Although Puyi doesn't care about any major events, as an emperor, he has arranged a set of out-and-out ostentation and extravagance, full of scenery. Many distinguished guests come to worship every day. The people who came here included members of the family of Aisinggioro, veteran ministers in opposition, upstarts in power, ministers in charge of ministries, special senators, and some local gentry, businessmen, local ruffians and so on. These people who come to pay their respects are all for offering sacrifices, giving money and things, and expressing loyalty to Puyi in order to get rich and get promoted. The three northeastern provinces have since become Japanese colonies and will be plundered by Japan; Since then, ordinary people have become conquered people and will be ravaged by the Japanese. These people, like Pu Yi, don't ask questions.
Most of the officials around Puyi are old warlords and bureaucrats who are dead set on taking refuge in Japan, and they are also some people who lead a gluttonous life. They only plunder the wealth of the people and never care about their sufferings. Only Zhang Jinghui, Prime Minister of the Puppet Manchukuo, replaced Zheng with Zhang Jinghui shortly after the founding of the Puppet Manchukuo. These are the needs of the Japanese aggressors. ), for example, you can see.
Zhang Jinghui is an influential figure in Northeast China. Some people say that he was born with a beard (bandit). His performance is the most traitorous. If nothing else, you can see what kind of historical figure he is by his ability to "blow" and "shoot" as an official.
Once, at the puppet Manchukuo State Council, after the leader of the Japanese Kwantung Army delivered a speech emphasizing "wholeheartedly Japan", Zhang Jinghui said: "We are illiterate louts, so let's swear! Japan and Manchuria are two grasshoppers tied to a rope. "
Under the oppression of Japanese colonial policy, people can't live. The food that the people in the three northeastern provinces have worked so hard to grow every year has been taken away by the Japanese Kwantung Army. In this regard, Zhang Jinghui said at the State Council: "The Japanese imperial army has worked hard, and our Manchuria produces grain, which is nothing. Hungry people, tighten their belts and they will pass. "
Because of Zhang Jinghui's shameless and disgusting flattery to Japan, the Japanese aggression group was very satisfied with him. The Japanese Kwantung Army called Zhang Jinghui a "good prime minister".
What did Puyi's puppet Manchukuo do? This question is not what this book is about. There are only one or two facts about Puyi's treason, which can't be ignored in this book.
Puyi, a man who didn't want his ancestors, betrayed his country for glory, opened the way for Japanese aggression and expansion, waved flags and shouted, and put the people in the three northeastern provinces in dire straits. 194 1 year, Japan declared war on the United States and Britain, and Puyi immediately issued an imperial edict on "mobilizing the people of the three northeastern provinces to fight to the end for Japan's Greater East Asia co-prosperity circle"; 1942, when tojo hideki, a Japanese first-class war criminal, arrived in Changchun, Puyi kowtowed to his face and said, "Please rest assured, I will fully support the pro-Japanese jihad with Manchukuo", and gave a large number of platinum, diamonds and other jewelry to Kwantung Army to support its aggression and expansion.
